Chapter 354: Taihe Temple
Xiangyu's extermination curse attacked, even with the blood of the moon fence, it was no longer possible to contain its deteriorating situation, although Xiangyu's appearance did not change further, but the popularity around him weakened.
The extermination spell was cast by the ancestor of the ghost, and in the final analysis, it is the thing to which the ghost belongs, and the more powerful it becomes, the ghost energy contained in it will begin to devour the popularity of humans.
Originally, because human beings are popular, there is fear in popularity, and it is with their ability to deter all ghosts and monsters outside Yin'an, and among human beings, especially Xiangyu's popularity is the most feared by ghosts.
For a long time, Xiangyu has been like a weapon that is enough to stabilize the human world and deter the ghost world.
But now, the weapon is rusty, and it is no longer as sharp as it used to be.
The goblins are starting to move.
The ghosts with weak mana impatiently watched and watched the changes, and the ghosts with strong enough mana approached Yin'an again in groups, advancing or retreating around the city, constantly tempting.
Qiu Lingshuang obviously noticed the abnormal movement in the ghost world, and he also discovered that Xiangyu's popularity was weakening, he vaguely realized that something bad was about to happen, and immediately made a decision, and set aside most of the ghost deterrent divisions to be stationed at the entrances of Yin'an, just like when the ghosts attacked the city that night, he was on high alert.
"Young Master Qiu, do you think these ghosts are here for Zhongyuan Night, or are they here for the weakening of Young Master Yu's popularity?" Qin Shuang and Qiu Lingshuang stood side by side at the high place of the city gate, he looked at the few ghosts that were wandering back and forth below, and asked with a worried face.
Qiu Lingshuang's face was as cold as frost, he looked at the dark curtain in the distance, and replied, "Is there a difference?"
When Qin Shuang heard this, she was thoughtful.
The sudden transfer of troops to the entrances of the four city gates in the southeast, northwest, and northwest immediately attracted the attention of both inside and outside the court, and everyone easily thought of the ghost attack on the city that happened a few days ago.
For a while, the entire Yin'an was once again shrouded in gloom, and people's hearts were panicked.
At this moment, something happened to the Yin Mansion.
The Yin patriarch Yin Hou was assassinated, and it was found that Yin Miao's father and son were planning behind it.
But this matter is only known to Yin Hou and Yin Heng and Yin Miao's father and son, and it will not be spread for the time being, and there is a reason why it is not spread, and it is an eventful time at this time, especially for the Xiang people.
Yin Heng got the order of Marquis Yin, and quickly rushed to Xiangfu and told Xiangyu about the matter.
Xiangyu wrapped himself tightly in a thick futon, his lips were white, and his voice was vague and loose, and he asked, "What is the purpose of the two of them?"
Yin Heng paused and replied: "Cousin confessed, because some people said that the attack of your clan extermination spell was caused by the continuous collapse of the forces of the Xiang clan, and it was a ......."
Xiangyu's face sank.
He suddenly looked up at Yin Heng who was standing in front of him: "Who does someone mean?"
Yin Heng said in a deep voice: "It's Xu Fengyang!"
Xiangyu's expression was slightly stunned, he lowered his head again, fell into deep thought, and after a while, he spoke again: "Has this matter been spread?"
“...... Be. Yin Hengchi asked, "Childe, is this matter true or false?"
"Really. Xiangyu barely thought about it, and blurted out, very crisply.
Qin Shuang looked stunned.
"The Han clan was separated from the Xiang clan, and the Luan clan went to three people in a row, and I suffered several episodes of cold disease, and finally vomited blood in front of the clans in the main hall, and my appearance changed greatly. ”
Xiangyu stretched out a hand, picked up an iron tongs on his side, and dug a pot of coals placed in front of him, and slowly continued: "The appearance has changed drastically, it must be related to ghosts, so it is easy to find out the relationship between the clan extermination spell in my body and the rise and fall of the Xiang clan." ”
The look in Yin Heng's eyes changed rapidly, and after a while, he only bowed down and waved his hand and said: "Gongzi has the grace of reinvention for the Yin family, and he swears to follow Gongzi and the Xiang clan to the death!"
Xiangyu let out a chuckle, and a faint flush appeared on his pale face for a moment, and he said in a very soft voice: "Don't worry, you will be fine." ”
Speaking back to the beginning, Xiangyu said: "Yin Miao's father and son assassinated the Yin patriarch, it seems that they wanted to fish in troubled waters, if your father dies, you can frame it on my head, saying that it is caused by the extermination curse." ”
Yin Heng hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Son's forgiveness, cousin doesn't dare." ”
Xiangyu smiled sarcastically: "So what is your father going to do with the two of them?"
Yin Heng hurriedly said: "Father ordered his subordinates to come here, just to let the son show him." ”
Xiangyu looked at the red-hot charcoal and thought, "Let's keep it for now, no matter how dull the knife is, it will be useful." ”
Yin Heng was slightly stunned, and hurriedly responded.

The green willows float, and the summer wind rolls the curtains.
At the main entrance of Taihe Temple, a woman walked down from a luxurious carriage, the woman's eyebrows were clear, gentle and dignified, the hairpin on the bun was a plain water green jade hairpin, wearing a moon satin embroidered Sulan hibiscus pattern, the lining was particularly slender, the waist was not full of a hand, and the whole body was full of a bookish atmosphere, which was Xun Yunliu who had not gone out for many days.
Since she and the third prince were known to Sheng Shuiyu before, after a fuss, Xun Yunliu has been under house arrest in the courtyard by Sheng Shuiyu, these days there has been a relaxation between her and Sheng Shuiyu, Sheng Shuiyu finally relented and allowed her to come to Taihe Temple to offer incense.
However, the fly in the ointment was that not long after she went out, Sheng Shuiyu's carriage followed.
"Since I went to Taihe Temple to ask for a child, I need to go to the husband and wife together to be effective, this is what my mother said. Sheng Shuiyu explained to her with a cold expression, and then quickly got into his own carriage.
The two of them each rode in a carriage, rushing to Taihe Temple one after the other, no longer riding in the same carriage as before.
As soon as Xun Yunliu got out of the carriage, Sheng Shuiyu on the carriage behind him also walked out, he walked quickly to Xun Yunliu's side, and said expressionlessly: "Keep up." ”
After speaking, he walked forward, not waiting for Xun Yunliu.
Xun Yunliu's expression was gloomy, so she had to follow quickly.
Walking to the door, the couple stood still, and a small servant brought by Sheng Shuiyu just stretched out his hand to knock on the door, and suddenly the door opened by itself from the inside, and then a group of people came out, it was the third prince and Xun Guangyan.
When the two people suddenly saw each other, they were all stunned, and after they came back to their senses, they hurriedly saluted each other.
"His Royal Highness and Xiao Gongzi Xun are so elegant today, they actually came to the Taihe Temple to ask for a son. Sheng Shuiyu said in a strange voice.
Xun Guangyan's eyes flashed slightly, and he was about to answer, but he heard the third prince say with a smile: "In addition to the purpose of asking for a child, Taihe Temple also has a square of flowers and plants in the backyard, I don't know if the third prince has heard of it?"
Sheng Shuiyu seemed to smile: "It's lonely and unheard, I haven't heard of it." ”
As he spoke, his gaze swept over Xun Guangyan and the three princes, and the three princes had ordinary faces from beginning to end, and they couldn't see any flaws.
But Xun Guangyan ......
Xun Guangyan was nervous.
Although this tension was not strong or obvious, it was deliberately suppressed by Xun Guangyan, but Sheng Shuiyu was still keenly aware of it.
Sheng Shuiyu's cold eyes narrowed slightly.
