Chapter 640
Yun Qingqing was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly:
"The Luck-stealing Evil is an extremely vicious method. Even if it appears alone, it will not only affect the luck of the family of the one being robbed."
Xiao Changheng heard the hidden meaning in her words and his expression became stern:
"Are you saying that the entire Imperial Capital's fortune is declining, and that more Fortune-stealing Demons have appeared?"
"That's right..." Yun Qingqing said slowly in a serious tone, "A large number of Luck-stealing Evils are gathering, and the Heavenly Evil is about to form... We don't have much time left."
Xiao Changheng took a breath:
"Is it a heavenly calamity?!"
He clearly remembered the torrential rain that hit Pingzhou. If the rain had continued, there would have been floods and countless deaths.
Even though Yun Qingqing intervened in time to prevent the disaster, the impact of the rainstorm lasted for half a month. It was because he gave a death order to the Pingzhou prefect to provide timely disaster relief and stop the losses that the casualties were kept to a minimum.
If the Heavenly Evil Tribulation occurred in the Imperial Capital...
Xiao Changheng suppressed the hidden worries in his heart and asked in a low voice:
"what can I do?"
Yun Qingqing said:
"A great catastrophe is approaching, and strange phenomena will surely occur among the people. Arrange as many people as possible on standby so that they can respond promptly if the situation gets out of control."
"...Okay." Xiao Changheng tightened his grip on her waist, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
The two of them had already arrived above Xiaojing Lake. Yun Qingqing noticed his mood, hesitated for a moment, and said:
"If you are worried about the Emperor, I will make a protective jade talisman for him to wear for the next few days. It will ward off evil and keep him safe."
Xiao Changheng gently hugged her from behind, lowered his head and buried his face in her shoulder, and said in a muffled voice:
"Well...thank you for your hard work."
Yun Qingqing's heart tightened slightly. She held his hand, stopped her sword in mid-air, and didn't speak for a while.
Xiao Changheng hugged her quietly for a while, sorted out his mood, raised his head and returned to the topic:
"Did you find it?"
Ming Cheng had previously said that the Duke's wife was listening to a monk preaching in the Xiaojing Lake area. When the two of them came in this direction, Xiao Changheng had already guessed her intention.
Yun Qingqing collected her thoughts, nodded, and flew her sword down in a certain direction.
It is a mountain villa south of Xiaojing Lake, surrounded by green trees, with beautiful scenery and very quiet.
There was only one courtyard in the villa where dozens of people gathered, sitting neatly on mats, listening to the voice of the one in front.
The monk was chanting scriptures, and several novices were standing behind him.
The monk sat cross-legged, his face was gaunt and his cheekbones were slightly protruding. There was compassion between his eyebrows and eyes. An antique copper ring hung on his earlobe. He was wearing a gold-rimmed robe. He held Buddhist beads in one hand and steadily struck a wooden fish with the other. He lowered his eyebrows and chanted scriptures with a focused expression, looking exactly like a high-level monk.
Xiao Changheng saw the problem at a glance and whispered:
"Something's wrong... The atmosphere in this village is very strange."
Yun Qingqing's eyes moved slightly. His awareness of Qi became more and more acute, but she still couldn't find any signs of recovery in this person's bones.
Now was not the time to dwell on these things. Yun Qingqing took Xiao Changheng's hand and drew a curse on his palm:
"This is the Spirit Clearing Mantra, which will keep your mind clear from disturbances."
After saying that, she flew on her sword and landed silently in the courtyard.
The novice monks behind the monks did not expect that someone would suddenly fall from the sky. They all looked alert, but they seemed afraid to disturb the monks chanting. For a while, they could only stare at the two men and dared not move.
