Chapter 709: Five Channels Entering Dreams
The Fat Ghost came back to his senses and asked, "Madam, are you trying to plead for mercy on behalf of the King?"
Madam Chen said, "Your Majesty, you sent me to the human world. It was my fault in the first place. I am willing to take the blame on your behalf. I only ask for your mercy."
The Fatty looked at Madam Chen and said, "Madam, he won't see you."
"Why?"
The Fat Ghost turned and disappeared into the wind, his voice barely audible: "This is an extraordinary measure."
Mrs. Chen chased after him and stopped in front of the window.
She has figured it out.
Playing tricks on the King of Wu is an extraordinary measure, not a fair and righteous way, so we have to use them and use them to do things.
If we had met, there would be no need for this.
Madam Chen felt a chill in her heart and murmured, "If it weren't for this extraordinary measure, we wouldn't even be taken seriously."
She didn't feel unfair, but was afraid.
The fat ghost came and went in a hurry, and the King of Stone City seemed to be aware of it, and seemed to be unaware of it.
The old monk slightly opened his eyelids, sensed it carefully, and said, "How strange." Then he shook his head, closed his eyes and continued to doze off.
The next day, Mrs. Chen returned to the palace and presented the old princess with Buddhist scriptures, which pleased her so much that she rewarded her with a bracelet.
Then she hid the talisman under her pillow, made a soup herself and sent it to the King of Wu to express her longing for him.
It happened that Prince Linchuan came to report the matter of the Owl House. The mother and son met in front of the palace, and Prince Linchuan smiled.
Madam Chen listened to him, considered him, and pleased the King of Wu, which made him satisfied.
But when Mrs. Chen looked at him, she felt that he seemed a little strange. The mother and son looked at each other but said nothing.
The King of Linchuan reported the recent gains to the King of Wu, hiding Ma Qingji from the report and only stating how many unconventional people had been recruited and which ones were useful.
The King of Wu was naturally overjoyed. He thought that if he was blessed by the gods, he would be successful in everything he did.
But now that they had lost the support of ghosts and gods, troubles often arose. For ordinary demonic matters, they could still seek the help of the practitioners in Chongming Pavilion, but those methods that were not easy to show in public could only be carried out through Chixiao Pavilion.
In reality, fighting for the dragon among men didn't require those shady tactics. However, the King of Wu didn't have enough savings and wasn't strong enough, so he needed these underhanded tactics to supplement his skills.
He gave King Linchuan some encouragement.
Prince Linchuan was a little proud but did not show it. Instead, he mentioned that Madam Chen had been missing Prince Wu recently and was in a bad mood, and hoped that Prince Wu could take time to accompany Madam Chen.
The King of Wu laughed and said, "You are quite filial."
That night, King Wu stayed at Lady Chen's place.
Mrs. Chen made careful preparations, burning aphrodisiac spices in the room, and using all her tenderness and skill, she coaxed the King of Wu to exhaustion and he fell into a deep sleep.
When he fell asleep, Madam Chen tied her hair with the King Wu's hair together, held the King Wu's hands with both of hers, and used the talisman under the King Wu's pillow to finally lure the King into his dream.
The talisman turned into spiritual light and entered the body of King Wu through Madam Chen's hand.
Mrs. Chen was uneasy when she saw that her magic was successful. However, she saw King Wu's eyeballs twitching under his eyelids, but she could not figure out what King Wu was dreaming about.
The King of Wu was still dreaming when he suddenly heard wailing outside the door and someone repeatedly calling out, "King of Wu!"
"Where is the King of Wu?"
The King of Wu was in a trance and saw five tall shadows of ghosts and gods floating outside the door. The colorful lights of gold, silver, copper, iron, etc. were like the last rays of dusk, illuminating the place with a gloomy and mournful look.
The King of Wu was horrified. He recognized these five ghosts and gods. They were clearly the Five Gods of Shangfang Mountain.
Wasn't this Wutong God already eliminated? Why is he still haunting us?
The Five-Powered God cried out, "King Wu, we helped you conquer Jiangnan, defied the laws of Heaven, and died. Why don't you fulfill your promise and worship us as the true gods who protect the country and help us be reborn?"
"King Wu! Offer us sacrifices quickly!"
"Don't hesitate!"
"Help me to be reborn!"
"Rebirth!"
The vengeful spirit of the Five Gods kept wailing, and the King of Wu dared not answer. He was sweating profusely and felt cold all over, and finally woke up with a loud cry.
"What's wrong, Your Majesty?" Mrs. Chen sat up and looked at King Wu with concern.
The King of Wu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Maybe he's in a nightmare."
Madam Chen wiped his sweat and said, "It's still early, Your Highness should rest for a while."
The King of Wu shook his head and said, "It's getting late. I'll go first."
Mrs. Chen helped him change his clothes and saw him go to the main hall.
Since the King of Wu revealed his ambition, there were more and more cases of handling government affairs before daybreak.
But Mrs. Chen was not worried about this. She was only worried that the matter would implicate herself. She secretly lifted the pillow under the King of Wu and saw that there was nothing under the pillow. The talisman had disappeared.
The King of Wu worked diligently all day. At night, he dreamed that the Five-Directions God appeared in his dream and said, "Why did the King of Wu break his promise?"
"Why don't you offer it quickly!"
"Help us to be reborn!"
That night, the Five-Power God had already walked from outside the door to inside.
The King of Wu woke with a start, his mind quivering. He knew he was being haunted by spirits and gods, so he immediately summoned the King of Linchuan and asked, "I dreamt of the Five Gods last night. They told me I had been slain by the gods and asked me to worship them as the true gods protecting the nation, hoping to be reborn. You are in charge of the Owl House, do you know if this is being haunted by spirits and gods?"
King Linchuan was startled and said, "Wutong God has been killed. Could this be his ghost?"
He immediately knew this was his chance to shine, and said, "I once knew a great man who was very knowledgeable. I'll ask him to come and examine my father."
Prince Linchuan came to Ma Qingji for help.
Ma Qingji said, "My deal with His Highness is that I will protect His Highness, nothing else."
King Linchuan said, "Please ask Master Ma to help me."
Ma Qingji said, "Please forgive my rudeness."
King Linchuan deeply resented his stubbornness and said, "Master Ma, if you can help me this time, you won't have to wait for me any longer."
Ma Qingji closed his eyes and said, "Since Your Highness says so, then let it go."
Ma Qingji met with the King of Wu. Compared with the last time, the King of Wu looked much older. He had been troubled these days and his complexion was even worse.
King Wu said, "I dreamt of ghosts and spirits last night. I wonder if it was a ghost or something."
Ma Qingji smiled and said, "I am the best at dealing with ghosts and spirits. Today I will guard the gate for the prince."
At night, the King of Wu dreamed of the Wutong God again.
Wutong Shen took another step closer to King Wu and shouted, "Hurry and fulfill your promise!"
At this moment, a loud shout was heard from outside the door: "Stop pestering me, you evil spirit!"
A peach branch sword broke through the door, startling Wutong so much that he turned into light and disappeared, leaving behind only a cruel message: "We are ghosts and gods. You made an agreement first, and then broke it. Even magic can't heal us. We will come back!"
