Chapter 25: The Birthday Feast
The shadow drew closer and closer to the female ghost, and at last he walked out of the forest and into the grave.
It's just that when the female ghost saw the appearance of the black shadow clearly, she didn't realize that it was the woman who seriously injured her during the day!
Lu Jian continued to walk in the direction of the female ghost, and when she was about to leave the forest, she saw the female ghost looking at her expectantly, thinking that the female ghost thought that her food had arrived.
Unfortunately, not.
"What do you want to do!"
The female ghost naturally knew that Lu Jian could see her, and the expression on her face that was originally expectant became a little frightened.
"Why, aren't you very good during the day?" Lu Jian was a little disdainful, she had been hiding her strength during the day, just to show the third prince, otherwise she would have been able to beat this female ghost by drawing a high-level heavenly urn casually.
It's just a ghost, she really doesn't care about it.
Lu Jian didn't want to talk nonsense with her, so he directly took out five talismans from his bag and threw them at the top of the female ghost.
Seeing this, the female ghost was about to run, but after all, the movement was a step slower, and the five talismans formed the shape of a five-pointed star, floating on the female ghost's head, emitting golden light, as long as Lu Jian's hand was pinched, the female ghost would immediately disappear.
But Lu Jian didn't pinch the trick, but walked around in this deserted tomb, and then stopped next to the yin tomb where the female ghost lived, and carefully looked at the stone tablet.
Lu Jian's brows tightened, there is something wrong with this stone stele! She crouched down and carefully examined the words on the stele.
After a while, Lu Jian smiled, she seemed to understand something.
Then she stood up and turned her head to look at the female ghost and said, "The formation around this place is to directly seal you in this tomb, and it is impossible to break it with your cultivation, but you can come and go at will from the formation and move around here at will." Lu Jian hooked his lips, his eyes exuded a hint of essence, and continued, "Someone released you."
The female ghost was a little flustered, it seemed that she had guessed correctly.
"Who is that man? Why did you let you out? If you tell me, I'll let you go" Lu Jian looked at the female ghost with a smile on her face.
The female ghost looked at Lu Jian's expression, she only felt that this smile was a little panicked, but she didn't dare to say anything, so she could only answer truthfully: "There is a person who has erected a monument there...."
As soon as the female ghost said this, her whole body suddenly froze, and her body became a little transparent.
Lu Jianxiu frowned, sensing that something was wrong, but before she could do anything urgently, the female ghost's soul body became more transparent, and it dissipated in an instant.
The five talismans that were originally floating in the air also fell, Lu Jian's face was a little gloomy, and he squatted down and picked up the talismans on the ground.
There should have been only five on the ground, but now there was one more, Lu Jian picked up the extra talisman and looked at it.
It's a mute spell....
It falls out of the female ghost's body, and as soon as she says something she shouldn't say, the silence spell will be activated, and it will be wiped out.
Lu Jian's eyes were a little cold, his fists clenched slightly, and he put the few talismans into his bag along with the forbidden spell, and returned to the Lu Mansion the same way.
This forbidden spell belongs to a high-level talisman, and it seems that the identity of the person who released the female ghost is not simple.
Half an hour later, the barren forest on the outskirts of the city returned to calm again, and the desolate tomb behind the forest, because of the disappearance of the female ghost, those condensed yin qi began to slowly retreat.
A man, dressed in a black cloak, had his face obscured, and he couldn't see what he really looked like.
The man stood not far from the desolate grave, exuding a fierce aura all over his body.
Two days later
Lu Jian dressed neatly early in the morning, painted exquisite makeup, and wore a white gauze skirt, with strong and powerful branches embroidered with dark brown silk threads at the skirt, and red plum blossoms were embroidered on the branches that extended to the waist, giving people a very elegant feeling, and the hair bun was much more cumbersome than usual.
She rarely wears such solemn clothes, and yesterday the palace handed over an invitation, which was the birthday banquet held by the eldest princess in the palace, Shao Ning.
Invited her and Shuhe to go together, she was too lazy to go, but Shuhe said that this birthday banquet was very solemn, and the young ladies and sons of each family would go, and I heard that other countries would also come to send congratulatory gifts.
Wen Shu and Lu Jian sat opposite each other in the carriage and drove in the direction of the imperial city.
Wen Shuhe wore a light blue gauze skirt today, and her makeup was exquisite, as if she had come out of a painting.
"I have long heard that the emperor attaches great importance to Princess Shao Ning's birthday banquet, but I didn't expect it to be so grand" Wen Shu and staggered, there are so many emperors in heaven, I really haven't heard of a princess's birthday banquet held with such fanfare.
"There may be some reasons we don't know," Lu Jian said lightly.
The Imperial City is located at the junction of Dongcheng District and Beicheng District, and Lufu is located in Beicheng District, which is relatively close, usually when Lu Heng went to the morning court, the time on the road is only half an hour, today the road is crowded, many children of the official family have to go to the birthday banquet of the eldest princess, the speed of the carriage is naturally relatively slow, and it took nearly an hour to finally reach the gate of the imperial city.
