Chapter 892 Can't Wait
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival.
It is also Lu Yuanxiao’s birthday, hence his name.
But Lu Yuanxiao had to celebrate with his students during the day and could only come back to celebrate his birthday at night.
Lu Yanshu and Lu Zhengyue had already gone out to attend court. When Lu Chaochao stood up, he saw Cancan squatting in the yard playing with the snow and was startled for a moment.
"You didn't go to school today?"
Cancan stood up in panic, with his hands behind his back: "Hey, Master, give me three more days off. I'll go again in a few days. Aunt, aunt, change your clothes and go out."
"Where are you going?"
"Today is the Lantern Festival, and the lights outside are so bright. Aunt, please accompany me."
"The Lantern Festival is a big festival, and the families rely on mother for communication, and mother can't leave. Grandmother is in poor health, it's cold at night, and there are many people, Cancan doesn't dare to look for grandma. Can you accompany me out?"
Lu Chaochao shook his head: "Brother won't let me go out."
"Are you afraid of uncle too?" Cancan looked like he had found his organization.
"I'll tell you in secret, I'm afraid of him too. Not just me, everyone in the family is afraid of him." Obviously, her uncle was not fierce at all, but she was still afraid of him.
"What's wrong with your hand?" Lu Chaochao saw that her hand was wrapped in thick gauze and it looked like she was injured.
Cancan's face turned red and she shrank back quickly.
He smiled and looked embarrassed.
"The young master didn't finish her homework, and the teacher beat her hands until they were swollen. That's why she was given three days off." The maid behind her covered her lips and laughed secretly. Cancan was so embarrassed that she couldn't raise her head.
"Aunt, please come with me. Let's not tell uncle, let's go secretly..."
"I can take you through a dog hole, but you took me there for nothing."
Cancan pulled her hand and shook it, looking pleading.
Over the past six years since Lu Chaochao's accident, not to mention the Lantern Festival, even the New Year has been dull in the mansion, and even the air is bitter.
Now the house is full of laughter and even Cancan can notice the changes in the house.
She also understood that all this was caused by the aunt in front of her.
"I have already promised my eldest brother that I must be honest and trustworthy." She took Cancan back to the hall and had breakfast with Xu Shiyun.
"Your cousin is getting married tomorrow, please choose a gift for me. Oh, I heard that the girl is very beautiful." The wedding date had been set long ago, but it was postponed for half a year due to the national mourning.
"Which cousin is it?" Lu Chaochao asked.
She had some vague memories, but they were not profound.
Xu Shiyun looked at her with pity on her face: "They are your second uncle's twins. When they were born, the labor process was too long, which led to suffocation. The two children were stupid since childhood and grew up like this until they were sixteen years old."
"Until Chao Chao was born."
Xu Shiyun still remembers that the two children were in a daze, spoke unclearly, and could not understand the instructions of others. But they understood what Lu Chaochao said.
Later, he was sent to my home to live for a long time, and he became more and more intelligent day by day.
Originally, my second brother and his wife had accepted their fate, but unexpectedly, the two children's conditions gradually got better.
They are thirty-two this year and there is no sign that they were once stupid.
It’s just that I was stupid for too long at the beginning and it was too late for me to study. Now I have got a position in the army, which is considered an achievement.
The image of a pair of twins emerged in Lu Chaochao's mind, and she had a vague impression of them.
She left the room only after she accompanied her mother to choose some gifts.
As soon as she returned to the room, her expression suddenly changed. She stood up abruptly and looked out the window.
She frowned slightly, looking a little unhappy.
Ah Ci was a stranger, so Xu Shiyun placed him in the outer courtyard. Lu Chaochao did not inform anyone and only whispered, "I want to take a nap, and no one is allowed to disturb me."
"Yes." The maids and servants stepped out and stood guard outside the door.
The moment the door closed, she disappeared into thin air.
Outside the city.
Lu Chaochao stood on the treetops, her long black hair fluttering in the wind, and her eyes looked coldly at the turbulent moat.
A Ci followed her quietly.
"Just now, something entered the mortal world." A Ci's brows were slightly stern, and he raised his hand and grabbed towards the moat.
The air seemed to become distorted, a sharp and piercing hissing sounded, and in an instant, the neck was strangled by an invisible giant hand.
That thing was like a ball of transparent water, but it could solidify into any shape, as if it had life.
A Ci just took a glance at it and threw it ashore in disgust.
When that thing landed on the ground, it turned into a leisurely green color and blended into its surroundings.
It dissolves in water and turns green when it falls into grass.
"This is a turbid spirit. It is nurtured by turbid air and feeds on the desires it devours."
This is also the original form of the seven-character quatrain.
It is a group of spirits that can change into any shape.
"Once it grows up, it will be an evil spirit capable of destroying the world."
"Only when the turbid energy reaches its peak will it transform into turbid spirits. Anyone who is polluted by turbid spirits will lose their reason and become cruel and murderous."
"The gods are courting death." Presumably, they can't wait any longer.
A Ci looked towards the night sky with anger in his eyes. The desires of those people in the God Realm are becoming stronger and stronger, and they may find it difficult to control themselves.
Lu Chaochao looked around quietly.
Outside the moat, not far away is a small village. Today is the Lantern Festival, and every household has hung red lanterns, making it very lively and warm.
Because it is close to the capital, many nobles in the city came here to build farms.
The small village here is also slightly wealthy.
Today is the Lantern Festival, and every family is having a reunion dinner. From afar, you can hear laughter and joy. There are also children playing and fighting, and the sounds of fireworks and firecrackers fill their ears.
The laughter traveled far.
Ah Ci whispered, "There is a smell of turbid spirits over there."
"It must have landed there. It polluted their consciousness..." A thick foul air was floating above the village.
The turbid spirit was originally the size of a fist, but now it is as big as a head.
Once they are polluted by foul air, there is no room for recovery. They will gradually lose their sanity, becoming crazy and full of violence.
"Their lives have entered the countdown." Her voice was calm, without any ups and downs.
Ah Ci pursed his lips and said nothing.
Not only will it enter a countdown, it will even get out of control. Once it rushes into the general population, it will bring countless disasters.
A ball of fire lingered around Lu Chaochao's fingertips.
With a flick of the fingertips, a small flame flew towards the village full of laughter.
The small flame turned into a huge fire as soon as it hit the ground, like a winding and rugged fire dragon, and the whole village was engulfed in flames.
The laughter turned into countless mournful cries.
A Ci moved his mouth but said nothing.
If polluted by foul spirits, even the soul will not be absorbed by the underworld, and the soul will return to the three realms after death. There is no hope...
This is the original her.
Cold, powerful, lonely, not bound by anything, and without emotion.
Yes, although she created everything, she is independent of the world.
Lu Chaozhao looked at the fire from afar, raised his hand and placed it on his heart.
"Aci, I seem to be different from before." Lu Chaochao looked a little confused.
