Xiao Shengyun only thought that he had read the script, believed that the script was true, and did not expose him.
The story book was the one that Changshun showed Jiang Ling first, and later Jiang Ling returned the story book, but he liked the story very much, so he asked someone to buy another copy, and occasionally flipped through it.
"What do you think, Your Highness?" Jiang Ling put her hand on the script.
"Gu and Ling'er think the same way, they think that fox is just an ordinary fox, at most it has a bigger head." Xiao Chengyun didn't quite believe the ghost.
Jiang Ling stopped worrying about what the demon fox was, and thought of another thing: "Jiewei tried every means to get the emperor to go to that small mountain village, is he trying to do something?"
"Father trusts him very much now, and he can be said to obey his words. The ministers have objected to leaving the palace. No matter how fierce the opposition is, he is determined to go."
As Xiao Shengyun said, the ministers felt very helpless about this matter.
Several court officials gathered together.
"Lord Zhong, shall we stop persuading?"
"You have also seen that His Majesty has been fascinated by that monster, no matter how much you and I persuade him, he will not listen."
"Have you found out the origin of the demon way? It's very strange. The people I sent didn't find any traces of him. They only know that he came to the capital a month before His Majesty came back from the palace. During this month, She lived in seclusion and had little contact with the outside world.”
"The same is true of what I found. There is no news from a month ago."
Compared with the optimistic view of the outside world, the ministers are worried. The fox's injury really needs to be resolved, but it is entirely possible to send the generals of the court to lead troops there. Emperor Chongming can't catch the fox himself, and there are countless potential dangers.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of departure. Early in the morning, Jiang Ling was dug out of the bed by Xiao Shengyun.
"Your Highness, I'm sleepy." Jiang Ling hugged the quilt and didn't let go.
"Wait until you get in the carriage before going to bed." Xiao Chengyun took the clothes prepared by the bed and put them on for Jiang Ling.
Half asleep and half awake, after getting dressed and washing with clean water, Jiang Ling finally regained consciousness.
It was just dawn, and Jiang Ling seldom woke up so early, so she yawned: "Why do you want to leave so early?"
"The departure time is set by Jie Wei, and it is said that we will leave at an auspicious time."
Jiang Ling was so sleepy that she fell asleep in the carriage for a while, and when she woke up, it was almost here.
The people living in the mountain village were relocated to other places. When Jiang Ling and the others arrived, there were only soldiers guarding solemnly and the village chief who was in charge of leading the way.
Jiang Ling, the Ninth Prince and others were brought to the pre-prepared houses. The soldiers temporarily requisitioned the houses built by the common people, selected a few larger ones, and packed them up for the royal family to live in.
"It's the first time for me to come to such a place." The Ninth Prince looked around curiously.
Before the practice time came, they could move freely for a period of time. Jiang Ling was purely here to make up the numbers, and he didn't need to do anything.
The mountain village is located at the foot of the mountain, with a high mountain on the back. The people here live close to the mountain, and there are beasts on the mountain, so guardrails and simple traps are arranged around the mountain village.
"It's my first time here too. Was it the people from here that the demon fox attacked before?" Jiang Ling couldn't sit still, and circled around with the equally curious Ninth Prince.
In the center of the village, the soldiers set up an altar under Jiewei's orders. Jiewei would appease the dead at night and cast spells to exorcise evil spirits at noon the next day.
"It's here," the Ninth Prince broke off the guardrail, "The guardrail is very strong, and there is no sign of damage. Where did the fox enter the village?"
"It's the south, and there's a gap in the south."
The sudden appearance of a male voice made Jiang Ling and the Ninth Prince turn around, and saw a man dressed as a villager standing not far from them.
"Are you from this village?" Jiang Ling sized him up.
The people here were moved out by the government after the demon fox hurt people. What is the identity of this man?
"I came with the village chief. My younger brother died at the mouth of the demon fox. I begged the village chief to bring me here. I want to see the demon fox be executed with my own eyes!" There was sadness in the tone, and more, it was hatred for the demon fox who killed his brother.
"My condolences." Unexpectedly, when asked about the man's sadness, the Ninth Prince was slightly startled.
"I've accepted it. Are you here to exorcise demons?" The man looked at the half-built altar, his eyes flickered, "I hope the Taoist priest can catch the demon fox, so that no one will be hurt by the demon fox in the future."
"We are here to help, don't worry, the demon fox will definitely be dealt with." Before, the Ninth Prince only heard about the demon fox hurting people from other people, and didn't really feel it. What a tragedy in the village.
"Can you tell us about what happened that day? Later, the government sent people up the mountain, but they didn't even see the ghost fox. Where would they hide?" Jiang Ling asked.
"They came in from the gap in the guardrail. In the middle of the night, their eyes were green under the moonlight. At first, we thought it was a wolf from the mountain. We have encountered similar things in the village and have some experience in dealing with them. Unexpectedly Demon foxes are amazingly powerful, and they are not afraid of fire, and the ignited fire has no deterrent effect on them, and those who go out to chase them away are poisoned."
"My younger brother is young and strong, he was the first one to go out, and he was also the one who was injured the most..." The chaotic man didn't want to recall that night, and the seven-foot man said at the end, his voice choked up.
"Don't worry, we will definitely avenge your brother!" The Ninth Prince patted the man on the shoulder vigorously, solemnly promising.
As night came, the moonlight was blocked by clouds, and the village was plunged into darkness. Only a torch was lit beside the temporary altar, bringing the only light.
No one sleeps.
Jiang Ling supported her drowsiness, and stood not far from the altar with Xiao Shengyun, watching Jiewei cast spells.
A gust of wind blew, bringing a chill, the Ninth Prince rubbed his arms, and rubbed against Jiang Ling.
"Brother Jiang, why do I feel chilly? Is it true that some dead souls have been summoned?"
"Don't scare yourself," Jiang Ling was sure, there were no dead souls here, "It's just a wind blowing."
"Brother Jiang, don't you think that Daoist Jiewei's actions are very similar to that?" Before he knew it, the Ninth Prince had begun to use honorific titles for Jiewei.
"If he doesn't have any skills, why would Father think highly of him and let him do it?" Jiang Ling observed Jie Wei for a while, his movements were smooth and flowing, he was wearing a wide avenue robe, the hem of his clothes was lifted by the wind, fluttering like a fairy.
Should have studied it.
Jiang Ling didn't understand Taoist culture, but he could feel the qi in Jiewei's body and the aura flowing faintly around him. If Jiewei was really capable, the aura would definitely fluctuate, instead of not changing like it is now. It can be seen that Jiewei Wei just looks like it in action.
Emperor Chongming stood at the front, looking very seriously. In a daze, he seemed to see the gathered transparent souls of the dead.
The soul seemed to float up at the same time, experiencing the same pain, Emperor Chongming opened his mouth wide, wanting to call for help, but was shocked to find that he could not make a sound.
Everyone's eyes were on Jiewei who was doing it, and no one noticed that Emperor Chongming was wrong.
The talisman paper floated into the air and ignited spontaneously without fire. Jie Wei's face was hidden behind the bright flame, making it hard to see clearly.
A ceremony of transcendence lasted for an entire hour.
After the ceremony was over, Emperor Chongming woke up startled, his body drenched in cold sweat, he opened his mouth and made an indistinct sound.
"Your Majesty, why are you sweating so much?" Eunuch Qian supported Emperor Chongming.
"Just now..." Emperor Chongming looked at Eunuch Qian, and Eunuch Qian's face was as usual, there was nothing wrong with it, and when he looked at other people, it was the same, as if he was the only one who experienced all that.
"His Majesty?"
"It's nothing, please come over, Master Jie Wei."
Jiewei put away his outfit and handed it to the accompanying guards.
Emperor Chongming dismissed the people around him: "Master Daoist, I..."
"Does your majesty want to say that you saw the souls of those people just now?"
"Yes, yes." At this moment, Emperor Chongming didn't care about the majesty of the king, he just wanted to know what happened just now.
Jiewei listened quietly to Emperor Chongming, and finally said: "This is why Pindao hopes that His Majesty can come here in person. Don't worry, Your Majesty, after the ceremony tomorrow, the matter will be resolved."
After experiencing things that cannot be explained by common sense, Emperor Chongming's trust in Jiewei gradually deepened. He originally doubted Jiewei's real purpose, but after going through such an experience, he could no longer have any doubts in his heart.
Seeing Jiewei's "true ability", the Ninth Prince intends to ask Jiewei for some peace talismans.
"Brother Jiang, Brother Prince, do you want it?"
"If he is willing to give it, you can help us ask for one too." Jiang Ling wanted to see if there was anything strange in Jie Wei's safety talisman.
The Ninth Prince wanted to take Jiang Ling to go with him, but when he met the Prince's gaze, he was discouraged and went to the Third Prince instead.
"Brother Three Emperors, this place feels weird to me. This Daoist Jiewei seems to be quite capable. Let's go ask for some safety talismans. With the safety talismans, I can sleep more peacefully at night."
The third prince was moved by him, and on their way to find Jiewei together, the third prince asked what happened in the palace: "What did the seventh brother do to make my father so angry? Did something happen to you in the palace, my father?" As soon as I came back, I invited the famous Taoist priest to enter the palace."
"Brother Sanhuang, you don't know that many things happened in the palace this year..." The Ninth Prince said what he knew like pouring beans.
"What about you, did anything interesting happen in Yu County?"
The ninth prince chatted with the third prince all the way, and the third prince heard a lot of news from him, most of which he already knew, and the ones he knew less were related to Jiang Ling.
"You seem to like the princess very much?"
"Yeah, I found out after contacting him that he is not at all the same as the rumors."
The Ninth Prince knocked on the doors of Jiang Ling and the Prince with the peace talisman he had asked for.
"It's a good thing you don't have to get up early tomorrow." Jiang Ling was sitting at the table, her head was turning and she could fall asleep at any time.
"Jiewei Daoist is very generous, he gave me and Brother Sanhuang a lot of talismans," the Ninth Prince took out a handful and unfolded one of them, "I don't understand what's written on it."
Jiang Ling took it over and looked at it, but found nothing wrong with the talisman paper.
Seeing that he was very sleepy, the Ninth Prince didn't stay long: "I'll go back first, brother Jiang and the prince should go to bed early."
"Your Highness, let's rest." Jiang Ling casually placed the talisman on the table and leaned on Xiao Chengyun, "Your Highness, I don't have the strength to walk anymore."
Xiao Chengyun picked up the boy and walked inside: "The conditions are a bit rough, Ling'er..."
Before she finished speaking, she stopped suddenly, Jiang Ling opened her eyes wide: "Your Highness, was it the voice of the Ninth Prince just now?"
—short, eager exclamation.
The story book was the one that Changshun showed Jiang Ling first, and later Jiang Ling returned the story book, but he liked the story very much, so he asked someone to buy another copy, and occasionally flipped through it.
"What do you think, Your Highness?" Jiang Ling put her hand on the script.
