Chapter 267: Nightmare

Xiangyu didn't expect that the conditions proposed by the Moon Fence would be this, and after he was surprised, he looked at the Moon Fence with complicated eyes.

Seeing this, Yue Liang said again: "I know that since that bloody night more than six hundred years ago, the Xiang clan has set two conditions for the sacrifice to break its curse. First, the sacrifice must be voluntarily sacrificed, and second, the sacrifice must inherit the blood of the ancestors. ”

"Childe also knows that I have a trace of consciousness of the ancestor in my body, I know and can feel it, if I don't want blood sacrifice, you can't help me. "Yueli has never shown such toughness in front of Xiangyu.

It was the first time she had threatened him.

The moment these words were said by Yueli, Xiangyu felt that she had built a new unfamiliar embankment between her and herself.

After a while, all of Xiangyu's thoughts turned into a sigh, and said: "You are not as obedient as before after all, okay, I promise you, I will marry before the Midyear Festival, and on the night of the Midyear Festival, you will voluntarily enter the altar." ”

The corners of Yueli's mouth hooked up and smiled: "A word is a certainty, thank you for your success!"

She bowed again.

When everything is settled, they will perform the ritual of dissolving the contract between the master and the ghost servant.

The method of abolishing the deed of the ghost servant is slightly different from the method of concluding the contract, and the owner can recite the curse of breaking the deed alone, and then the master will take his own blood and press it on the tattoo of the ghost servant on the forehead of the ghost servant.

When the ghost tattoo on the forehead disappears, the ghost service contract also disappears.

"With my blood, lest thou be my ghost, and I will be blessed by thy power to disappear. Xiangyu recited this mantra to break the contract.

Then, he cut his finger with a dagger, took a drop of blood from his finger and pressed it to the ghost tattoo of the hedge flower on the forehead of the moon fence that knelt respectfully in front of him.

In the next moment, the clear ripple flower above the white skin gradually decayed, and the white light quickly dimmed, and soon, this mark was completely erased, as if it had never appeared.

Yueli thanked him and got up: "Now that I am a ghost servant, I can no longer be blessed by you, but I am not a sacrifice, Gongzi once told me that you will always protect me until I am sent to the altar, this can still be counted?"

Xiangyu's eyes have returned to silence at some point, but the smoke that has permeated them all year round has disappeared, leaving only two inky pools with a ghostly glow.

He replied lightly: "Naturally count." ”

The raindrops fell to the ground with a crackle, and the moon fence smiled at Xiangyu, bowed and bowed, and then turned around and entered the house.

Under the tree, after Xiangyu saw her back leave, she lowered her eyelashes lightly, not knowing what she was thinking, a small guy hurried over to hold an umbrella for her, and Xiangyu followed the little maid and walked towards the outside of the courtyard.

As night fell, Qiu Lingshuang, who had already been ready according to the emperor's orders during the day, led several hermits towards Xiangfu.

Qiu Lingshuang was still a little hesitant until this time, if he broke into Xiangfu tonight and killed Yueliang, it would probably force Xiangfu to completely oppose the royal family, and cause war within Yinguo.

After the emperor gave him that order this morning, he specially sent a message to several high-ranking clans in the imperial faction, such as Lord Sheng and Lord Xun, wanting them to persuade the emperor to withdraw the order.

After several adults learned the news, they all quickly rushed to the palace to persuade the emperor in detail, and the emperor had already agreed to withdraw the order, but then an incident once again rekindled the emperor's idea of killing the moon fence immediately regardless of everything.

This incident is that Xiangyu ordered someone to post a ghost book in front of the city gate, clearly stating that the sacrificial sleeping fence he included in the house a few months ago was the ghost moon fence more than 600 years ago, and also said that he and the moon fence had terminated the ghost service contract, so all the mistakes made by the ghost service Yue Fence before were abolished with the abolition of the identity of the ghost servant of the Moon Fence.

This matter is nothing, after all, more than 600 years ago, most of the people who died in the hands of the Yue Fence were people from the Xiang clan, or clansmen who were attached to the Xiang clan or who were friendly with the Xiang clan, and the Xiang clan faction did not care about the Moon Fence, so what else did the royal clan have to hold onto.

But when the emperor heard this, he was completely enraged.

In addition to the content of this ghost book that angered him, there was also the attitude behind Xiangyu's doing.

The first thing Xiangyu did when he woke up today was not to give the emperor an explanation for the mistakes made by the moon fence, as he said before he left last night, but to reveal the true identity of the sacrifice to all people and ghosts with great fanfare.

The emperor didn't think that Xiangyu would really give him an explanation for what happened last night.

But it was better to wait for the situation to calm down for a few days, and then issue this notice, Xiangyu seemed to have no idea what the convergence was, so he directly picked it up and released it the next day.

Moreover, at the end of the ghost book that told the Yin'an people, it was pointed out that because the Moon Fence was already a sacrifice of the Xiang people, whether it was in the past or now, those who had a grudge against the Moon Fence would be enemies of the Xiang Clan.

This is clearly a slap in the face between him and the royal family.

So that they will never be able to say things or do anything with the identity of Yueli in the future.

Immediately, his killing intent towards Xiangyu and the Xiang clan, which had been suppressed by several adults, instantly surged up again.

Xiangyu dared to hit him in the face, why couldn't he fight back?

As a result, the few adults who were invited by Qiu Lingshuang to persuade fell short, and Qiu Lingshuang still had to take the ghost deterrence masters to Xiangfu to kill Yueliang.

Qiu Lingshuang couldn't disobey the imperial order, but Sheng Zhuohuai asked him to change the word "punishment" in the killing to another word, maybe it would also prevent the two factions from completely tearing their faces.

Assassinate!

He decided to take people to infiltrate Xiangfu and assassinate Yuefen without the entire Xiangfu noticing!

It may be difficult for other ghost deterrence masters to do this unaware step in the Xiangfu, but Qiu Lingshuang personally stepped out, and the odds of victory were much greater.

He deliberately selected a few hermits who were top in the art of deterring ghosts, and hid in the darkness, sneaking all the way.

Just when he was about to arrive at the Xiangfu mansion, one thing stood out.

On the way, they met a strange woman, who just accidentally touched Qiu Lingshuang's hand, and Qiu Lingshuang ordered the cancellation of the night operation, and then he hurriedly left the team of the ghost deterrent division and returned to Qiu's mansion alone.

Several hermits who came with him looked inexplicable, and returned to the ghost courtyard with puzzled expressions.

The night was calm, and there was no blood.

The emperor, who had been waiting for news in the Mingluan Hall for most of the night, angrily announced that he had entered the temple early the next morning, and he didn't want to announce that the holy decree was sent to the house, but Qiu Lingshuang was sick in bed, saying that he couldn't face the saint.

"Back to Your Majesty, when my subordinates went to Xiangfu with Dean Qiu last night, they met a strange woman on the way, and Dean Qiu was touched by the woman, and after that, Dean Qiu immediately announced the cancellation of the operation. One of the ghost detergents who followed Qiu Lingshuang last night said to the emperor.
