Chapter 1271: Corpse Qi
"We are making friends, not enemies, right?"
Deng Wenxun, the Earl of Pingyang, was speaking in a cold voice, and his face was not looking good. However, the expressions of several members of the Deng family sitting beside him were subtle.
"The day after tomorrow is an auspicious day. My daughter will marry into your Runan Marquis Mansion. We were all waiting happily. Now you come here and tell me that my daughter may have been possessed by an evil spirit and ask me to find someone to exorcise the evil spirit?"
Pingyang Bo was really angry.
How can such a thing be possible in the world?
"Did you think of something wrong at Runan Marquis Mansion? Did Dai Xu offend some wild flowers and butterflies outside and cause trouble? Are you thinking of coming to deal with us?"
"How did you talk?"
When Marquis Runan heard the groundless speculation of Marquis Pingyang, he also felt a little annoyed.
"Our Dai Xu is not the kind of kid who would mess around outside."
"Oh, child, a child who is about to get married?" Earl Pingyang said sarcastically.
"Pingyang Bo," said Runan Hou in a deep voice, "It is precisely because we have become family that we came here in person to tell you this. Otherwise, I can also find an expert and bring him here to see the second young lady."
Mrs. Runanhou also said, "Yes, let's just take a look. If everything is fine, we can all rest assured, right?"
"That sounds nice, but my second sister is a good person, waiting to get married. How come she is accused of being possessed by evil spirits?"
The eldest daughter of the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion, who was sitting nearby, curled her lips and said, "If this gets out, not only my second sister, but also me, our Pingyang Marquis' Mansion will have a bad reputation. If something happens, your mansion can blame her and say that she was possessed by evil spirits."
"Why should a younger person interrupt when his elders are talking?" Marquis Runan frowned.
Miss Deng is already married, but she lives close to her parents' home. She goes back to her parents' home from time to time to eat and drink, and takes things with her. Her husband's family doesn't really care.
Of course they knew about this.
However, the second young lady's biological mother is a stepmother, and the eldest young lady's biological mother has died of illness, so the two sisters do not have the same mother.
It is also because of this that they think the second young lady will not be the same as the eldest young lady.
"Tsk, I am also from the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion. This is about my sister and my family. How can I not speak up?"
"Shut up." Pingyang Bo scolded her at this time.
Miss Deng curled her lips.
"Alan, please say something," the wife of Runan Marquis looked at the wife of Pingyang Marquis who had been silent the whole time, "You know what kind of person I am."
Mrs. Pingyang looked up at her husband and hesitated for a moment. "How about sending someone to take a look?"
"You..." Pingyang Bo's face darkened.
In the end, the matter ended with the Marquis of Runan adding another box of betrothal gifts, which made the Earl of Pingyang take a step back and agree to find an expert to take a look at his daughter.
But they decided to find someone themselves and did not trust the one found by Marquis Runan.
Then a servant brought it up.
It is said that a lot of people from the Xuanmen sect have recently checked into Ping'an Inn, including an uncle and nephew. Yesterday, they helped a frightened child calm down on the street. It seems that they have great cultivation skills.
After hearing this, the Earl of Pingyang sent someone to Ping'an Inn to invite someone.
The uncle and nephew we are talking about are naturally Gu Sanliang and Lu Song.
Lu Song also received Qingyu's message and knew the whole story.
"The princess asked me to give these talismans to Master Lu," Qingyu handed over a few talismans, "The princess said that if you can handle the problem with Miss Deng, you should do it on the spot without hesitation."
"If the situation is complicated, just withdraw and don't say anything more."
"clear."
Soon, people from the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion came to Ping'an Inn and invited them in.
The leader of the ancestral temple also sent the incense burner to Huaiyuan at this time.
The retired emperor was hurriedly floating out of the palace and returning to Huaiyuan.
"Master Ling! Why do I feel weird today? It seems like my strength is not as strong as before!"
"It feels like being drunk and stepping on cotton, and being unable to walk steadily!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the incense burner in front of Lu Zhaoling.
"Why, does this look familiar?"
Zhou Shiyue asked the commander to go back first.
After everyone left, he said, "How could this offering of incense not look familiar? You kept knocking over your tablet before, maybe you even knocked on it a few times."
The Emperor: "...No, Zhou Shiyue, you are not such a naughty person. Why did you go to the ancestral temple and take out this incense burner for no reason?"
"I'm free?" Zhou Shiyue snorted.
Lu Zhaoling said, "Retired Emperor, it's not surprising that you feel that way. You have always been supported by the incense of the royal ancestral temple, and there is a certain amount of power of faith that can reach your soul. Now that it's temporarily cut off, you feel a little weak. In fact, it's just that there is less incense supply."
The emperor was stunned.
Anything else?
He hadn't known before that the incense offered in front of his tablet in the ancestral temple was actually useful.
"Is that what the little monk is playing with?"
The emperor looked at the incense burner and thought, "No normal person would take this out, right?"
"It is said that someone stuffed silver into the senior brother of the ancestral temple, but Xiao Jiechi saw something was wrong, so the little guy had an idea and stuffed it into this incense burner."
Lu Zhaoling looked at the emperor, "I guess he thinks that if he stays here with your protection, nothing will happen."
The emperor was originally speechless, but upon hearing this, he immediately coughed, straightened his appearance, and raised his head and chest, "Then, then how should I bless this?"
Zhou Shiyue: “…”
"Old man, Ah Ling just said that, do you really think you are a Buddha? What blessing are you offering?"
The emperor really wanted to give him a beating.
Lu Zhaoling had already taken out the purse from the incense ashes.
With just one glance, she saw the corpse aura on the purse.
Her face changed slightly.
"Master!"
"Uncle Master, Senior Brother!"
The emperor was a little frightened when he saw her reaction.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Is it something you can't handle?"
"I can handle it, but I need to let them come and see it to learn more," said Lu Zhaoling.
At the same time, she threw the purse back into the ashes and came out holding the incense burner.
When Yin Changxing and the others came over and saw the purse, their faces changed.
"Thousand-year-old corpse?!"
Yin Changxing frowned, "Where did it come from?"
Lu Zhaoling explained the origin of the purse, and they all looked at the emperor.
Being stared at by everyone from the same sect at the same time, the emperor felt very panicked.
"what happened?"
Is he going to... be so miserable as to have no descendants?
Shouldn't we look at Zhou Shiyue? Now that he is dead, it is Zhou Shiyue who should be afraid.
"Send this thing to the ancestral temple. What I want is the Great Zhou kingdom and the fortune of the Great Zhou royal family. I want to destroy all of you." Yin Changxing said.
Zhou Shiyue frowned.
"Generally speaking, it is difficult for a corpse to be preserved for a thousand years. If it was really preserved for a thousand years, it must have been preserved with extremely powerful means. In addition, the identity of the deceased was not ordinary when he was alive."
Lu Zhaoling explained, "Otherwise, ordinary people would just be buried in the grave, and dust would return to dust. How could they care about preserving it intact?"
"So, a thousand-year-old corpse is very unusual. It's not easy for someone to extract the qi of a thousand-year-old corpse."
The emperor was almost out of his mind after hearing what they said.
