Chapter 465: Spying in the Dark
With the experience just now, Jiang Tangtang can now use spiritual energy skillfully.
She was faster than when she saved the child just now.
When Jiang Tangtang withdrew her hand, the couple could clearly feel that something had entered their bodies and removed something bad from them, and their bodies instantly became lighter.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving my life." Xie Daxiong knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Jiang Tangtang to express his gratitude.
"No need to be polite. First, tell me how you guys got into this together today and who you came into contact with before."
This was the first time Jiang Tangtang had come into contact with someone who had survived spontaneous combustion, and she hoped to get some useful information.
Xie Daxiong thought carefully for a while and said, "We don't know how it started. My husband and I saw someone making trouble and didn't want to get involved, so we just hid nearby. We didn't interact with anyone else during the process."
He said uncertainly, "If I had to say anything, it would be that someone walked past us."
Xie Daxiong recalled the situation at that time, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was something wrong with that person. "Yes, yes, that person must have done something to us. Not long after he passed by us, I remembered the bullying I suffered in Rouran. My heart felt like it was burned by fire."
Then, his head felt dizzy, as if he had endless anger that needed to be vented.
Then he heard his wife's scream.
He looked up and found a faint green flame coming out of his wife's chest. He was frightened and tried to put out the flame with his hands.
But in his wife's frightened eyes, he saw himself, also surrounded by flames.
In their despair and anger, flames also ignited in their children.
…
Xie Daxiong told Jiang Tangtang everything that happened.
He described it in great detail. Not only was the child's fire the last to start and his flame was smaller than both of theirs, he also described his state of mind at the moment before the fire started clearly.
After listening to Xie Daxiong's narration, Jiang Tangtang had a guess in his mind.
The evil spirit of suspicion is something that can dig out the negative emotions such as resentment buried deep in people's hearts and intensify them.
But Jiang Tangtang still didn't understand how to make people excited.
At this time, Doctor Xue and Dou Xianer rushed over.
Everyone was surprised to see Jiang Tangtang had actually saved several people. Doctor Xue and Dou Xian'er quickly examined them.
Although Xie Daxiong and his family were not in danger of death, they all suffered extensive burns. Doctor Xue and Dou Xian'er worked together to treat the family's wounds.
While treating the wound, he secretly sighed in his heart, he is worthy of being the Immortal Emperor, he can even save people like this.
After bandaging the wounds of several people, Doctor Xue took their pulses.
After looking back and forth, they both came to the same conclusion, "It's definitely not poisoning."
Dou Xian'er didn't know whether to feel regret or relief, but she finally got back to business. "Your Majesty, have you made any progress?"
Jiang Tangtang hesitated for a moment and said, "It must be some kind of evil magic."
The reason why she didn't call it demonic energy but only called it sorcery was because there were still many things she didn't understand.
She did not explain further and ordered the guards who came to arrange for the three members of the Xie family to recuperate in the yamen and to observe their conditions at all times.
Deep in the woods, after learning that those people were not dead, Mu Yuchong's brows twisted into knots, "Did you see clearly? Are you sure they are not dead?"
The black-clad Long Yinwei said, "I saw with my own eyes that the Empress rode a fairy and stopped in front of them. Then they boarded the carriage and headed towards the government office."
Mu Yuchong asked, "What did the Empress do to them?"
"It's too far away to see clearly." As if afraid of being punished, he added: "The fairy bird beside her is very powerful. If you get too close, it will discover you."
When Mu Yuchong thought of the golden eagle carrying Jiang Tangtang, he felt a strong desire to possess her.
When the time comes, the golden eagle will be his mount.
Thinking about how he had regained his youthful vigor and was patrolling the country on a golden eagle, Mu Yuchong was in a good mood and rarely refrained from scolding his subordinates.
He approached Imperial Master Qiu and asked about the next steps. Meanwhile, he was worried, "That Immortal Emperor is incredibly powerful. He's even been able to revive those who spontaneously combusted. Can our subsequent plans still be carried out smoothly?"
Master Qiu rubbed the beads around his neck back and forth between his thumb and index finger. "This is better."
As for why it was good, he didn't say.
However, Mu Yuchong soon understood the meaning of Master Qiu's words.
The next day, another immigrant in Shanggu spontaneously combusted. Jiang Tangtang received the news and went to rescue them again.
Just like last time, she used the spiritual spring and spiritual energy to successfully save the lives of the people in the city.
This time, the spontaneous combustion incident occurred in a busy city.
Jiang Tangtang was in a hurry to save people and didn't bother to clear the scene.
While her rescue process was witnessed by many people, Mu Yuchong also hid in the crowd and watched the whole process.
Although I don’t understand how Jiang Tangtang summoned the water, the water must be very powerful.
Otherwise, why can't other water put out the fire, but the water she summoned by raising her hand can easily put out the fire?
Mu Yuchong also felt that her actions when pressing the chests of several immigrants were not simple.
He was completely wild with excitement.
I wish I could arrest Jiang Tangtang immediately.
But to be on the safe side, he suppressed the impulse in his heart.
He waited until the crowd dispersed before going to Imperial Preceptor Qiu: "Imperial Preceptor, what should we do next? When can we capture the Empress?"
"Your Majesty, you can make the arrangements as I say. When the time is right, we will naturally be able to capture the Empress."
Mu Yuchong used to rely heavily on Master Qiu, and now he even reveres him as a god.
We immediately made arrangements according to what Master Qiu said.
Soon, the news that the empress could save the self-igniting immigrants spread through the mouths of the people in the city.
The people spread the story of the situation in a miraculous way, and Jiang Tangtang became more and more sacred in their eyes.
However, the number of incidents of spontaneous combustion among immigrants has not decreased.
Officials from several other places also asked for help one after another. Some said that many immigrants in the area had caught fire spontaneously and asked Jiang Tangtang to save the local immigrants.
Some people also asked Jiang Tangtang to recruit more disciples, to learn more immortal arts and benefit the people...
Looking at the letters flying in like snowflakes, Jiang Tangtang rubbed his temples with a headache.
For some reason, she always had the illusion that she had stepped into the other party's trap.
After thinking about it, she wrote a letter and asked Gugu to deliver it to Lu Shiyan.
Not long after Gugu left, Jiang Tangtang received news again that some people came to report that someone in their village had caught fire.
And this time it was not the immigrants who caught fire, but the local villagers.
