This thing does exist, but it is currently placed in the palace. Since no one knows how to use it, it has been shelved until now.
Unexpectedly, it has now become the only hope to save Lieutenant General Lin.
Thinking of this, he murmured, "Give me some time, and I will find it for you. There are also talisman paper, cinnabar, gold powder and other things..."
"I have these here too, you don't need to prepare them." Gu Yunni interrupted him, "Let's go back to the inn first. The strong smell of blood here is likely to attract evil spirits."
Sheng Mingjue nodded, then ordered the secret guards to escort Gu Yunni and Li Zhiqing back to the inn, while he went to get the ice toad.
After all, ordinary people cannot get this thing.
Gu Yunni and the other two returned to the inn. Li Zhiqing asked the waiter to boil some hot water. After taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, he felt much better.
"Yun Ni, how did you know that Lieutenant General Lin was controlled by someone?" Li Zhiqing held his chin with both hands and looked at the girl sitting next to him wiping her wet long hair with a gossipy look on his face.
Gu Yunni was changing the dressing and looked up at her. "I guessed it."
Although Lieutenant General Lin did not hit her hard at the time, it still hurt. If it is not treated properly, it will probably leave a scar.
Everyone loves beauty, so how could Gu Yunni allow scars to remain on her body?
"You're lying to me, how could I not understand these things?" She curled her lips. "Tell me, how did you see that?"
Gu Yunni didn't say anything.
"oops……"
Gu Yunni put down the gauze and glanced at her. "Want to know?"
Li Zhiqing nodded hurriedly, "Yeah!"
Gu Yunni raised her eyebrows: "I can tell you, but I have a condition."
Li Zhiqing came over with a smile and said, "Don't mention just one, I'll agree to all eight or ten of them."
Gu Yunni pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Then work for me for free for a year?"
Li Zhiqing's face immediately fell, and he glared at her with resentment, "You are just taking advantage of the situation."
"hehe."
Li Zhiqing had no choice but to agree in the end.
Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Gu Yunni said, "When Lieutenant General Lin was trying to assassinate me, he accidentally exposed his neck. There's a black line connecting his neck to his head. I suspect it's an evil spell used to control him."
Hearing this, Li Zhiqing frowned and thought deeply, "Then are you sure you can cure him?"
Gu Yunni packed up the medical kit and said, "As long as Sheng Mingjue brings the ice toad back, I can break his evil spell."
Li Zhiqing breathed a sigh of relief, but then became worried again, "But what if it fails?"
Gu Yunni said calmly, "The word failure doesn't even exist in my dictionary."
"I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can really find the Ice Toad..." Li Zhiqing murmured in a low voice.
Speak of the devil, and he will appear. There was a knock on the door, followed by the voice of the secret guard, "Is the Crown Princess here? The master has found the things. Please gather in the Tianzi room."
Gu Yunni stood up and smiled at Li Zhiqing, "Let's go!"
The two of them left the room together and went to Room No. 1 where Sheng Mingjue lived.
In the No. 1 room, Sheng Mingjue handed a brocade box to Gu Yunni.
Gu Yunni opened it and took a look, and found that what was stored inside was indeed a hundred-year-old ice toad.
This thing is a treasure. She reached out and stroked it, as if she could feel its cool temperature.
"There are also paper, pen, cinnabar and yellow talismans." Sheng Mingjue pushed the things on the table to her.
Gu Yunni did not waste any time and immediately took out the ice toad and ground it together with cinnabar.
When it is almost done, he dips the ink in red ink and draws intricate patterns on the talisman paper.
Sheng Mingjue watched quietly, and the more he looked, the tighter his brows furrowed.
About an incense stick of time passed, and the talisman paper suddenly emitted a dazzling golden light. Sheng Mingjue's pupils widened slightly, unable to hide his surprise.
Gu Yunni, however, remained calm. She formed a spell with her fingers and stuck the talisman paper on Lieutenant General Lin's head.
The man who was lying on the bed suddenly moved and then slowly opened his eyes.
Gu Yunni didn't dare to stop and continued to carve mysterious runes on his body.
She didn't breathe until all the runes were carved, and the runes moved across his body.
The black energy wrapped around Lieutenant General Lin was driven away one by one to the talisman on his forehead.
Gu Yunni gripped the dagger tightly and slashed it towards Lieutenant General Lin's neck. The sharp blade cut his skin and a stream of black blood flowed out.
At this time, the talisman on his head began to burn and turned into ashes in an instant, and Lieutenant General Lin collapsed on the bed and fell into a coma.
"He's well now, but he'll be a little weak in the next six months. He'll be fine after taking good care of himself." After saying this, Gu Yunni prepared to leave.
As soon as she turned around, she bumped into Sheng Mingjue's arms, and her nose hit his hard chest, causing her to frown in pain.
Sheng Mingjue helped her up apologetically, "Are you okay?"
His caring attitude made Gu Yunni a little stunned. She blinked and shook her head.
Sheng Mingjue touched her head and said softly, "Thank you. I'll take him back to rest first and come see you tomorrow night."
"Yeah." Gu Yunni responded lightly.
After Sheng Mingjue left, Li Zhiqing came over and asked excitedly, "Yun Ni, how did you do it?"
Gu Yunni's move just now was so cool, it would be great if she could learn it too!
Gu Yunni glanced at her and asked, "You want to learn?"
Li Zhiqing nodded hurriedly.
Gu Yunni glanced at her and said coldly, "I would like to teach you, but you don't have the aptitude, so it's useless to teach you."
Li Zhiqing immediately wilted. She also knew that her aptitude was mediocre. Just as Gu Yunni said, she was indeed not suitable for cultivation.
"But..." Gu Yunni changed the subject: "You might consider signing a contract to sell yourself to me."
Li Zhiqing widened her almond-shaped eyes and stared at her in disbelief. Is this person obsessed with money?
She just agreed to work for her for a year, and now she wants to sell her body. Does she really treat her as a slave?
Seeing her expression constantly changing, Gu Yunni couldn't help but curl his lips and smile: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. This kind of thing is of no use to you. If you really want to learn, you might as well do business with me. I guarantee that you will become rich."
Her words were like enlightenment to Li Zhiqing, and instantly he was enlightened.
Yes, why did she have to follow Gu Yunni to learn Taoism? If she just did business with her properly, would she still worry about not making money?
Gu Yunni didn't notice her thoughts, but when she came to her senses, she reminded her, "I'm tired today. I'll come to have tea and chat with you another day."
After she said that, she left.
At the same time, at Changping Marquis Mansion.
Kou Mingxue and the wife of the Marquis of Changping were drinking the precious pre-rain Longjing tea.
In order to kill Gu Yunni, they spent a lot of money to invite a master with powerful magic.
She just didn't believe that even after all this, Gu Yunni could still escape from her!
Thinking of this, the two of them couldn't help but turn their eyes to the master sitting on the cushion. They saw that he had his hands clasped together and seemed to be chanting a mantra with his eyes closed.
After a moment, the master slowly opened his eyes, with a sinister gleam in his eyes.
