Just as everyone present was captivated by this amazing scene and was preparing to see how Xu Qi would start the fire next, Xu Qi suddenly pulled a lighter out of his pocket.
"Click!"
A crisp pressing sound rang out, and a blue flame immediately ignited at one end of the red thread.
I thought he would at least pull out a talisman and flick it around or something.
Unfortunately, materials are limited, so please make do.
This is a moment to remember, because at this moment, science and metaphysics have finally achieved harmonious coexistence.
[Those ahead, you understand value.]
"It's too bright."
Xu Qi's voice became exceptionally ethereal at this moment, quite different from usual.
Everyone else was stunned by what they heard and didn't have time to react.
Only Ji Qian, who had witnessed this scene before, ran to the window and personally pulled up the curtains.
The castle uses velvet curtains, which have excellent light-blocking properties.
As Ji Qian moved, the room suddenly became dark, and the faint blue flames that were originally there became exceptionally bright and eerie.
"Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding..."
The crisp sound of tapping the bowl echoed in the room, and as the sound grew louder, the speed at which the rope burned visibly slowed down.
Logically speaking, Xu Qi should have been very skilled at this kind of thing, but this time, as soon as he opened his mouth, he felt a dryness in his throat.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Qi felt as if countless sharp blades were rapidly slicing through his throat. He tried to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
The sudden turn of events startled everyone in the room.
Ji Qian was the first to come to her senses.
She stepped forward, about to say something, when she noticed that the orc who had been obediently crouching on the ground was now glaring angrily at Xu Qi.
It was clearly stimulated by the smell of blood.
So Ji Qian turned around and walked to the orc's side. She first raised her hand high, and then gently placed her hand on the orc's shoulder.
To outsiders, it appeared as if Ji Qian had merely touched the orc's shoulder lightly, and the orc quickly calmed down.
Only the orc knew that in that instant, an overwhelming killing intent suddenly came from behind it and quickly enveloped it completely, making it utterly unable to muster the slightest thought of resistance.
After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Xu Qi felt much better, so he raised his hand to stop Mi Yesi and the others who were also about to go forward to check on him.
Seeing everyone return to their places, the orcs obediently squatted back down. Xu Qi stared at the red line in front of him, which was already halfway through the burning process, and tentatively spoke again:
"Golden light shines in myriad rays, opening the heavens and observing the world, encompassing heaven and earth, proclaiming to all spirits, and the true form immediately appears!"
With almost every word he uttered, Xu Qi's voice became clearer.
As the last word fell, Xu Qi's hoarse and dry voice, which was so strained that it was impossible to distinguish between men, women, and children, finally returned to its original clear and bright male voice.
Before Xu Qi could even feel happy about it, he saw the copper coin in front of him begin to roll violently up and down.
Immediately afterwards, a plume of black smoke shot out from the square hole in the middle of the coin, heading straight for Count Lanruer, who was hiding in the corner!
Suddenly, things took an unexpected turn. Ji Qian was unable to stop it in time and could only watch helplessly as the black smoke quickly enveloped Earl Lanruer.
After about two or three seconds, the black smoke gradually dissipated, revealing Count Lanruer kneeling on the ground inside.
Count Lanruer must have been going through something; his face was as pale as paper, and his lips were bloodless.
Even more surprisingly, large beads of sweat hung from Count Lanruer's forehead, dripping onto the wooden floor with a crisp, cracking sound.
"Is he alright?"
"Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!!!"
Before Mi Yesi could finish speaking, she was startled by a sudden sound of vomiting.
Before Count Lanruer could even utter a single word, he collapsed to the ground and began to vomit incessantly.
The man's vomiting echoed in the small room, sounding extremely miserable, like a wail from the depths of hell, sending chills down one's spine.
As a singer, Ying Xu is exceptionally sensitive to hearing. Long before others could react, he had already wrapped himself in a blanket.
Miyesi frowned and covered her ears, looking like she really wanted to kick Earl Lanruer herself.
Even Han Mengyao, who has been focused on banging on bowls for a hundred years, frowned because of this.
The only saving grace was that, since Count Lanruer, being a ghost, had long lost the ability to manifest in a physical form, Ji Qian and the others did not experience the double feast of hearing and smell.
[I can't take it anymore, I have to leave now. See you again, family!]
[Ugh, I feel like throwing up just listening to this.]
[You're really tough! I've already thrown up once.]
[I had no choice; we ate at the scenic area that night, and it was so expensive I couldn't bear to throw up.]
[Oh my god, when will this ever end?!]
[The number of viewers has plummeted. Isn't the production team going to do anything about it?]
[You're so high and mighty, why don't you go and deal with these ancestors?]
[Golden bullet comments... Could this be Director Liu himself?]
[Hahaha, Director Liu has broken down!]
Xu Qi was the only person present who wasn't affected by the vomiting sounds.
He was chanting incantations that no one else could understand, and his body was radiating a faint golden light, making him stand out in the dimly lit room.
"stop!"
Just as the red thread was about to burn out, Xu Qi gave an order, and the room shone brightly. Then, a strong stench suddenly emanated from the orc.
Although it lasted only a short moment, it still caused a severe physical and mental impact on everyone.
