Chapter 604: Offended People
Xie Qiao thought it should be useful for the Crown Prince to reincarnate the souls of the dead together with her.
He could even command the souls to protect him. Would that not be impressive enough?!
The Crown Prince’s brows relaxed. “Since that’s the case, don’t forget me, your junior brother when Senior Sister Mo deals with the spirits in the future.”
“S-Sure.” Xie Qiao’s feet swayed for a moment before she steadied herself and exhaled. “I need to rest for a while.”
The Five Dragon Incantation was indeed very powerful, but inscribing talismans and chanting incantations required a lot of mental energy. She had done a lot of good things recently, and her energy had become more and more abundant, so she did not faint. Otherwise… she would have collapsed again.
“There’s a soft pillow in the carriage.” Zhao Xuanjing’s eyes revealed a bit of worry.
Xie Qiao nodded.
She took the umbrella and walked steadily to the carriage.
Once she got to the carriage, she fell into a deep sleep.
There was only one carriage, and it was brought to the courtyard of the temple. They could see it from the inside. There was no need to guard it specially. It was still raining outside, so Li Qingyu and the others could only stay in the house.
The Crown Prince, Xie Pinggang, and the others were very calm. They found a good place and rested immediately.
However, Li Qingyu looked at this place and was terrified.
“Did you really not see anything just now?” Li Qingyu was very careful. He did not dare to speak to the Crown Prince. The fierce Xie Pinggang was not a talkative person, so he could only talk to Zhou Weizong.
Zhou Weizong looked puzzled. “No? It’s just some snakes. They’re quite poisonous. However, we all brought along snake repellent. No one was bitten and the snakes were all cleaned up.”
Li Qingyu sighed. “What I saw… was very interesting.”
“What do you mean?” Zhou Weizong was also interested and curious.
“In the beginning, there was a hand, but it was only half broken. That hand could still move, so it crawled out of the courtyard…” Li Qingyu pointed outside, then pointed at the Buddha statue, “This place isn’t clean either. Evil things floated out directly from inside. They were very ugly and scary. Half of the scalp has fallen off. It’s so disgusting that people would lose their appetite!
“That’s not all. They’re very scary. They even wanted to eat people. They were grabbing my neck… Ouch…” Li Qingyu touched his neck and realized that it was a little painful.
Zhou Weizong looked over and said, “There’s a bruise there.”
Li Qingyu’s expression changed. “As expected! That thing was really scary. It didn’t even touch here. How did it get bruised?! It’s them who are causing trouble!”
Zhou Weizong looked at Li Qingyu sympathetically. “You’re quite pitiful.”
Li Qingyu wanted to cry but had no tears.
It was more than pitiful?
These people did not see the scene just now, so they could not understand his feelings at that time!
“I still feel uncomfortable looking at this temple now,” Li Qingyu said timidly.
After seeing so many ghouls, he still had lingering fear in his heart. He could not help but be afraid, afraid that something would suddenly come out from the surroundings!
“Don’t worry. We have searched the area. There isn’t a single rat. Rest well. It will be fine tomorrow. However, I don’t know who your grandfather offended to cause such trouble,” Zhou Weizong comforted him.
Li Qingyu fell silent.
These few days, his grandfather had been troubled.
He had specifically asked about it. His grandfather had said that more than 20 years ago, he had offended… many people!
So many that he could not find anyone who hated the Li family the most!
Back then, his grandfather was the imperial tutor of the current dynasty. The Li family was powerful and prosperous, and the Emperor favored them. The Empress Dowager and the Empress also treated the Li family differently. They were very important in the imperial court and worked for the Emperor. It was inevitable that they would offend people…
