Chapter 318 Witch
The news that the Qinglian Patriarch appeared in spirit and gave down "divine revelations" spread more and more widely, and almost everyone in the entire northern region knew about it.
As for who the "witch" is, people all think of one person, the only queen of the Great Chu - Prince Jing'an!
"The hen crowed at dawn, and the yin and yang were reversed, which led to this disaster."
"This woman is called Lucky Star. She actually steals the luck of heaven and earth and gathers it into herself."
There is no other woman in the whole Chu who deserves the titles of "the hen crowing at dawn" and "the lucky star" at the same time!
A minor noble who was banished to the cold palace was able to turn things around after getting close to the new emperor, and rose through the ranks from the owner of Longmen to the Marquis of Jing'an, and then to a second-rank official and Prince of Jing'an. The speed at which she was promoted was as fast as a meteor!
The husband she married was the great marshal of the Southern Expedition who unified southern Xinjiang and had made great military achievements. Even the children she gave birth to were a pair of twins, a boy and a girl!
Who could be more fortunate than her?
"It's rare to be born with such a stunning beauty. It really is the combination of heaven and earth's luck!"
In a teahouse, a scholar was gently waving a folding fan, shaking his head and sighing.
"According to the Qinglian Patriarch, it was because she stole the destiny of heaven and earth that caused the drought?"
Someone asked quietly.
"Hush! Shut up! Buddha said, it cannot be said, it cannot be said."
The scholar shook his head, with an expression of mystery.
Everyone lowered their voices and whispered.
"I heard that the director of the Imperial Observatory did observe the 'Between Star', but His Majesty ignored it."
"When the Beta appears, disasters will occur. No wonder there is a drought!"
"I think what Qinglian Patriarch said is right. A hen crowing at dawn is a sign of reversed yin and yang, which is a bad omen!"
"Yes, yes. Moreover, this 'lucky star' steals the luck of heaven and earth and gathers it in herself! Think about it, everyone. There is only so much luck in heaven and earth. If all the luck is given to her, won't the disaster be for everyone?"
"Yes, what you said makes a lot of sense!"
"Then how can we make the witch return the blessings to everyone?"
"In ancient times, people prayed for rain but they had to offer sacrifices, didn't they?"
"Ah, sacrifice? Doesn't that mean..."
The scholar quickly signaled everyone to be quiet.
He lowered his voice and said, "How could His Majesty be willing to do that? I heard that the twins, boy and girl, are indeed dragon offspring!"
"That's unlikely. The timing doesn't match."
"They say she was born in Dali Prefecture, but who has seen it? It's just what they say."
"Well, that makes sense!"
"Your Majesty, despite the opposition of all the ministers, insisted on touring the south. Who knows if he is not going to pick up the mother and her two children?"
"Brother, what you said makes sense! Alas, the evil concubines who bring disaster to the country have existed since ancient times!"
All kinds of unbearable rumors were rampant and spread wildly among the people.
Laojun Mountain in Luoyang.
Inside the Taoist temple, the man in black slammed the mirror on the table and said calmly, "Okay, get ready to retreat."
The woman in white was surprised: "Why?"
After hiding all this time, I finally settled down, but now I have to start living like a sewer rat again?
"The fairy is so smart that she can quickly follow the clues and guess our identities."
The man in black sneered, "Don't forget, you and I are both wanted criminals of the imperial court."
The woman in white gritted her teeth and said, "Don't you boast of your magical powers? You can't even deal with the soldiers?"
"The officers and soldiers are easy to deal with. I am currently seriously injured and am no match for the fairy, let alone her husband."
The man in black couldn't help but feel terrified when he thought of the sword lights all over the sky that day. He never expected that Xie Changan was not an ordinary mortal!
No wonder the fairy formed a bond of mutual understanding with him!
Could it be that he is the one who is going through the tribulation?
It seems that his soul was sealed when he was reincarnated into this world. As long as he is not provoked, he cannot use the power of a "Sword Immortal". We can instead take our time to improve it.
If I could devour his soul as well...
The man in black couldn't help but licking his lips. I wonder if he has formed his Nascent Soul?
The soul of Yuanying Zhenjun, I never dared to think about it before, but now it has been delivered to my door!
I wonder which one is more delicious, the fairy's pure spirit or the fairy's pure spirit?
He was struck by lightning and sent to this world, but he never expected to have such an encounter. If he could devour these two souls in one fell swoop, he would be able to return to the upper world smoothly and maybe even become the demon king!
The man in black laughed loudly toward the sky: "Hahahaha..."
When the woman in white heard him mention Jiang Li and Xie Changan, a strong look of jealousy flashed in her eyes, and she turned into the back hall without saying a word.
The rumors became more and more intense, and Yinjiu, who stayed in the capital, soon got the news.
He was furious. How dare the Qinglian Sect be so bold and slander Little Sixteen with empty words, and even throw dirty water on the emperor!
He immediately sent a secret letter to Nangong Qinghe and Jiang Li, and ordered the East Factory secret guards to secretly arrest the leader of the Qinglian Sect and its core members.
However, when the secret guards rushed into the Taoist temple on Laojun Mountain, it was already empty.
A lot of core members were arrested, but under severe torture, they all vomited blood and died!
After receiving the secret letter, Jiang Li slammed the table and said, "There is a road to heaven but you don't take it, there is no door to hell but you come anyway!"
Isn’t this “Green Lotus Ancestor” who can appear in the mirror the mirror monster?
Needless to say, those core members of the Qinglian Sect who vomited blood and died were poisoned by a Gu!
"He actually sneaked into the Central Plains and founded the Qinglian Sect!" Xie Changan frowned, "Who is he possessing?"
Jiang Li thought for a moment and said, "If the Soul-Catching Bug wants to hide the truth from Heaven, there are only four people who can be possessed by it."
"Which four?"
"The first one is naturally Nan Yonghe." Jiang Li thought, "The second one is the Queen of Nanyi, the third one is Princess Jindie, and the fourth one is Nangong Xihe!"
Xie Changan was surprised: "Why these four people?"
"Dragon Qi." Jiang Li said, "The soul-sucking insect needs dragon qi to cover up its breath."
Xie Changan nodded. Among these four people, two were princes of the Great Chu, and the other two were the Queen of Nanyi and the Princess of Nanyi. They all had the so-called "dragon spirit" to a greater or lesser extent.
"Who do you think is most likely?"
"Nan Yonghe can be eliminated first." Jiang Li analyzed carefully.
The sword that Master Chonghua swung that day was aimed directly at him and the soul-catching insect. With his mortal body, there was no way that Nan Yonghe could escape from that shocking sword.
"The Queen of Nanyi and Princess Jindie can also be ruled out, because the Soul-Catching Bug has better options!" Jiang Li said word by word, "Nangong Xihe!"
Xie Changan suddenly realized that Nangong Xihe and Nan Yonghe were half-brothers and both were princes of the Great Chu. They were naturally the first choice to be possessed by the soul-sucking worm!
"The so-called 'Green Lotus Ancestor' is Nangong Xihe who is parasitized by the Soul-Catching Bug. Then who is the leader of the Green Lotus Sect?"
Jiang Li glanced at him with a half-smile: "Who else could it be? Of course it must be the Miao Gu Saintess, Chu Feixue, who was infatuated with you and would not marry anyone else but you!"
