Chapter 1275: Starting the Altar and Performing the Rituals
After Lu Zhaoling woke up and received the ten thousand taels, he was immediately delighted.
She didn't actually want a reward.
The previous rewards were already eye-catching. If there were any more, the ladies in the palace would probably have some ideas.
It’s better to use real money!
Zhou Shiyue is really the worm in her stomach.
"You, you compare a man like the Prince of Jin to a roundworm. Don't you feel guilty about that?" Rong Jingjing laughed at her.
"I don't feel guilty at all. This is a compliment." Lu Zhaoling smiled and gave the banknote to Qingyin.
Turning around, she saw Yin Yunting talking to Jiang Yongmiao. The atmosphere was a bit weird, and she couldn't help but nudged Rong Jingjing with her elbow.
"What's going on between Master Brother and Miaomiao? Have they been chatting for a long time?"
The two of them sat opposite each other in the pavilion and had been chatting for a long time.
How come she didn't know when these two people became so easy to talk to?
Rong Jingjing also looked over and said, "I don't know either. The senior brother said he wanted to discuss something with her."
"Master Brother, do you still have something to discuss with this little girl?"
Lu Zhaoling's eyes widened, and she said, "Let me take a closer look. Their marriage line is the Red Luan Star!"
Before she could see clearly, Frog Brother floated over and blocked her view.
"Ho!"
I didn’t see the Red Luan Star, what a ghost.
"Brother Frog, why did you suddenly appear?"
Brother Frog has also been wandering around the capital these days.
The city gate has restrictions on wandering ghosts outside, but not on those who have already entered the city.
Brother Frog not only wanted to see what the capital city was like, and help find out what was going on with the evil spirit that filled the city, but he also wanted to find the man that Lord Black Envoy mentioned, the one who went to the Netherworld and stole the magic weapon.
"Master, I saw a strange person!"
Brother Frog said to Lu Zhaoling in a hurry, "That person lives in an inn in the southwest of the city. He never goes out. The doors and windows are closed and covered with black cloth."
"I saw that he seemed to be setting up an altar to perform a ritual, but on his altar were placed a pair of little people wearing clothes of happiness and fortune, and underneath were the characters of one's birth date."
"I wonder if he wants to do something to harm a couple who are about to get married!"
How can we tolerate this?
"I wanted to go in and take a closer look, but he seemed to have discovered me. He threw a little paper man and I was almost stuck with it."
Frog Brother was still a little frightened at this time.
He was passing by the inn at that time, and suddenly he smelled a strange scent of incense and candles, and heard someone chanting. Although he couldn't make out what they were chanting, it made him uncomfortable.
So he floated to the window and tried to peek, but found that the window was covered with black cloth.
Frog Brother stuck his head in and just after taking a look, the man actually discovered him. He waved his hand and a small paper man pounced towards him.
He was so frightened that he immediately retracted his head and flew away, turning around the city vigorously, and it seemed that he had finally gotten rid of the little paper man.
Brother Frog felt that he should hurry back and talk to Lu Zhaoling about this matter.
After all, Master Lu and Prince Jin are about to get married. If someone is performing a ritual to harm the newlyweds, could it be a good person?
After he finished speaking, Lu Zhaoling reached out and grabbed him by the side.
A stream of energy was in her hand, and it dissipated as she squeezed it.
"The other party has cast a spell on you. With this spell, no matter where you hide, his paper man will be able to find you."
Rong Jingjing also said, "Big Sister, this person's cultivation is quite profound."
Being able to send a tracking talisman to a ghost is not something that ordinary people can do.
Frog was stunned for a moment and was shocked. "Master, then didn't I lead people here?"
"That little paper man will find this place soon, right?"
It’s over. Has he caused trouble for Master Lu?
Brother Frog suddenly felt very guilty.
"It doesn't matter." Lu Zhaoling said, "Am I still afraid of him?"
Rong Jingjing also comforted him, "It's okay, I'm here, let me give my little noodle a chance to test it."
"Little noodle man?"
Lu Zhaoling was a little confused. What small dough figurine? Isn't it Miss Zheng who is half a dough figurine?
"I forgot to tell you," Rong Jingjing said, "My master taught me a trick, which is to make small dough figures as puppet soldiers. I studied it these two days and made one, but I don't think it's good enough to fight against people. If I can get a small paper figure, I can give it a try."
Lu Zhaoling: “…”
And this thing?
The master of Zun Yi Guan doesn't have this ability.
The master of the First Xuanmen is indeed a person of higher cultivation.
I guess it was because after he came here, he saw Zheng Ying and remembered Second Junior Sister’s skill in making dough figurines, so he thought of teaching her this.
Lu Zhaoling immediately became interested.
"Come on, come on, bring a chair over here, and a plate of melon seeds!"
She immediately called Qingyin and Qingbao and prepared to watch the show.
Chair, melon seeds and tea.
Yin Yunting and Jiang Yongmiao, who were talking in the pavilion, heard Lu Zhaoling's joyful words and looked over.
"What's so happy about Sister Lu?"
"Let's go and take a look." Yin Yunting stood up.
He actually told Jiang Yongmiao about joining Wuming Bookstore. Jiang Yongmiao was very interested and happy.
He also told her some things that she could do and what she should pay attention to.
Jiang Yongmiao was a studious girl. She asked him how he painted those interesting paintings, and Yin Yunting taught her more.
This girl has a miserable life. She has suffered so much and so many blows. Now she is alone. However, she still has such a passion to study and make progress. She deserves a better life in the future.
Qingyin and Qingbao had just prepared Lu Zhaoling's three sets of clothes for watching the show when Lu Zhaoling's eyes lit up and he said, "Here I come."
"Should I go to the middle of the yard as bait?" asked Frog.
"No, no, just float here." Lu Zhaoling waved his hand.
"What are you looking at?" Yin Yunting and Jiang Yongmiao came over.
Lu Zhaoling didn't even bother to see if they had a marriage line or a red star at this moment. Without even looking up, she said, "Next, please watch the little dough figurine versus the little paper figurine."
"What the hell?" Yin Yunting was stunned.
"Qingbao, get some paper and pen."
Qingbao took it immediately and asked, "Miss, what do you want to do?"
Lu Zhaoling shouted to everyone, "Come out and watch the show, and place your bets!"
"Which side will win? Place your bets."
Lu Zhaoling asked Qingbao to write small paper figures and small dough figures on the bottom of the paper.
"I'll place the bet first. The little paper man wins! I bet one hundred taels!" Lu Zhaoling said to Qingyin, "Here, take the banknote."
"Senior Sister, why are you supporting the enemy?" Rong Jingjing didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
She thought Lu Zhaoling would bet on the little noodles man to win without hesitation.
"No, then who will pay for it in the end?" Frog Brother was also puzzled.
"Of course it's the one who sets up the altar and performs the ritual." Lu Zhaoling said as a matter of course.
"Then can I, a servant, also place a bet?" Qingyin Qingbao's eyes suddenly lit up.
"All is fine! So come quickly, Master, Uncle Master, Uncle Liu, Aunt Liu!"
There are also Lao Ma and Ma Xiaoliu.
Come and place your bets quickly.
Everyone gathered around, and before they knew what was going on, they were all led to place bets.
Qingyu immediately followed suit and placed a bet, and even Brother Frog was no exception.
