Chapter Twenty-Five: Grievances Are Deep
The presiding officer is far away, and he likes to travel uncertainly on weekdays, and occasionally he will be in the Yingguang Temple, which is close to the year, and the palace will burn the first incense on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, in order to ensure the safety of the country and the people in the coming year, and he will personally chant and pray for blessings. Therefore, he has just returned to the capital from Fanbang. If it weren't for that, Lu Yun was afraid that he wouldn't be able to invite him even if he ran for nothing. When everyone saw him coming, they clasped their hands together and bowed with great respect.
Without delay, Master Kongyuan shook the copper bell while walking towards the river, Lu Yun also followed, Lu Yun faction belongs to Taoism, seeing that the master took out the prayer beads and whispered Buddhist scriptures, he no longer acted rashly, and carefully observed the movement in the water.
It was quiet all around, the aftermath of the Buddhist scriptures penetrated the bottom of the water, and the kappa covered his ears and hid in the water with his teeth bared and did not dare to show up. Layers of ripples on the surface of the water formed a huge whirlpool, and Ruan Yuheng immediately blocked in front of the emperor. Lu Yun took out a charm, looked at the whirlpool with a correct expression, he threw the charm in the water, the water rolled, the kappa was about to be unable to hold on, there was no quiet soul here to help him, this kappa was not their opponent at all.
The water splashed, and the kappa quickly fled to shore. Luo Qingyun covered her mouth and didn't dare to make a sound, she looked at the monster in front of her with such a terrifying appearance, and her disgusting stomach rolled. Everyone couldn't see his real body, but found that the ground was inexplicably wet.
Master Kongyuan was still chanting, and the kappa was rolling on the ground in pain, trying to escape but couldn't even stand upright. Lu Yun stared at the increasing number of water stains on the ground, and naturally concluded that it had been forced ashore, but he had suffered a loss just now, and now he didn't dare to use the charm indiscriminately. Ruan Yuheng and the emperor looked at Luo Qingyun in unison, but saw that Luo Qingyun was staring at this place with a panicked expression.
Ruan Yuheng immediately dragged Luo Qingyun over, Luo Qingyun poured lead on the soles of his feet, and he was desperately unwilling to come to his side. Ruan Yuheng simply carried her on her shoulder, and in this way she was pulled to the kappa, and she trembled with fear. Lu Yun and Kong Yuan found out that there was still a woman here.
Luo Qingyun glared at Ruan Yuheng resentfully, this person acted rudely and rudely, she subconsciously hid beside the emperor and pulled his sleeve. Lu Yun looked at her in surprise and wondered, "What does this woman do?" ”
Ruan Yuheng did not reply. Seeing that she was always relying on the emperor, she scolded angrily: "Have you seen the evil spirit?" ”
Luo Qingyun didn't dare to look at the green-scaled monster on the ground, and nodded slightly. Lu Yun was taken aback and asked in disbelief, "Can you see it?" What does it look like, is it green, with a bird's beak and a puddle of water in the top of its head? ”
Luo Qingyun glanced cautiously at her sideways, she paused, and said softly: "Yes, but it's... There's a pit above its head, and there's no water in it! ”
"No water?" Lu Yun repeated, his face instantly showing joy: "When the kappa is full of water, it has infinite strength, and when it dries up, it becomes weak!" That's just right, I can try to lure him in! ”
After that, it took out a talisman and stuck it on the ground, but Luo Qingyun saw that the talisman was attached to his chest, and the kappa let out a scream like a birdsong in pain, and everyone gradually saw that there was a monster lying on the ground at the moment.
It was dying, its body was convulsed, the voice just now was a cry for help, not far away in the woods, the quiet soul was watching all this, today he was injured twice by the golden light on the guard's body, at this moment the host of Yingguang Temple and the Taoist priest are here, he is inconvenient to reappear. This kappa has been obeying him for fifty years, but for the sake of self-preservation, he will definitely not save him.
He looked at Lu Yun, who is also a Taoist, and all the Dao methods used by this little Dao master are useless to him, but. Those charms were very useful to kappa. He stared at his face, and the corners of his mouth gradually hooked, this account will be recorded on this Taoist priest's head in the future! When he gets Luo Qingyun's body, that little guard should also die! With that, his figure flashed and disappeared!
Lord Song had just recovered from his recovery, but he saw this monster with green scales all over his body, and there was a turtle shell full of spikes behind him, and he was so frightened that he didn't come up again.
Lu Yun took the Horcrux Locker and trapped it. Master Kongyuan stopped chanting the mantra at this time, he folded his hands and bowed slightly to the emperor: "Amitabha, the poor monk helped the donor find this monster today, how to deal with the next thing and hand it over to the Lu donor, the poor monk is inconvenient to stay here!" ”
The emperor bowed slightly to show his gratitude. Kong Yuan raised his eyes but looked at Luo Qingyun, and then he smiled very politely, Luo Qingyun hurriedly folded his hands and bowed to him. After he left, everyone's eyes were focused on the kappa again, and Lu Yun reprimanded, "Can you speak?" ”
The kappa nodded, and the emperor stepped forward and said lightly: "The children who died these days, and their tailbones were removed, are you all responsible?" ”
His eyes rolled as if he were considering. Seeing that he didn't answer, Lu Yun tightened the lock of the Horcrux, and the monster couldn't breathe at all. After letting go, the monster replied in a hoarse voice, "Yes...... Yes! ”
"Then you should be damned!" The emperor raised his eyebrows: "However, since you are a kappa, do you know where the dragon scales are in this world?" ”
He continued, "Dragon scales? I....... I don't know! ”
Lu Yun reprimanded: "Do you still want to taste some bitterness before you are willing to say it?" ”
The kappa begged for mercy: "Dao Chief, I really don't know the little one! However, I have heard that the dragon scales in the present world have been made into Horcruxes, which can be bold, and have the effect of resurrecting from the dead, as for where it is, I really don't know! ”
"We all know what you're talking about!" Ruan Yuheng glanced at him coldly: "It seems that you are useless!" ”
The kappa shivered at them, and hurriedly returned: "Please, don't kill me, I have lived here for more than a hundred years, and I have never harmed anyone!" It's my master who kills people these days! ”
Lu Yun was surprised: "Your master? Is it the evil spirit that takes my heart and takes possession of the corpse? ”
"Exactly!" The kappa looked around and whispered, "But he's not an evil spirit!" He was originally a Taoist priest of Qingyun Temple, but he practiced the secret method here, and now he will not die, but he has no physical body, and he needs to suck the essence of living creatures, and he is the one who harms people's lives these days, I just, I just smoked the tailbones of those corpses to eat! ”
"Won't die?" The emperor was surprised: "Then what is he now?" ”
"It's a human and a ghost, and its soul is immortal!" At this point, it suddenly raised its head and said excitedly, "By the way, he may have seen what you were looking for!" I've only seen him once, he used a multicolored stone when he practiced the Fa, maybe his immortal soul was related to the Dragon Scale Horcrux! ”
"And where is he now?" The emperor's eyes lit up, staring at him deadly.
The kappa paused, very aggrieved: "Anyway, if you are not here, you may have left me behind, and you would have run away a long time ago!" ”
The emperor's body stiffened, Luo Qingyun glanced at him, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyebrows.
"What else do you know?" Ruan Yuheng snorted coldly, and the kappa shook his head in fright: "I don't know, but my master is very vindictive, if you hurt him today, he will definitely go to you!" ”
"I'm afraid he won't come!" Ruan Yuheng looked at the wound on his hand, they had dealt with that evil spirit today, if he really knew the whereabouts of the dragon scales, the emperor would not have made this trip in vain.
Now that the kappa has told them everything, it is useless! Lu Yun was stunned and felt that this kappa was not guilty of death, and it was the evil spirit that harmed people, that is, he didn't kill him at all.
"You aided the abuse, and you should be punished for your crimes!" Ruan Yuheng glanced at him unceremoniously and said coldly.
"Don't kill me, please, I told you everything I know, please don't kill me!" He became more and more anxious and begged everyone.
Lu Yun hesitated for a while and said, "Master, you guys go first, leave it to me here!" ”
The emperor raised his eyes, his eyes brushed over him, and nodded. Luo Qingyun's face turned pale, but he saw that the emperor said lightly: "Let's go!" ”
She can finally leave here, she hummed and hurriedly followed, the emperor walked by himself, she didn't dare to fall a step and followed very tightly, Ruan Yuheng was behind them, back to the tethered horse. The emperor cast a look at Ruan Yuheng, he immediately stepped forward, and the emperor whispered in his ear: "It's not early, I'll go back to the palace first, you send her back to Luofu, remember, this matter is a bit abrupt, you must not let Luo Haoxuan be suspicious, as for how to do it, you can figure it out yourself!" ”
"Yes! Rest assured, master! ”
After that, Lu Yun also rushed over. "Done?" The emperor asked.
"Yes!" Lu Yun had something to hide, but in fact, he took the kappa and spared his life.
Luo Qingyun sat on Ruan Yuheng's golden horse and felt uncomfortable, she looked at the emperor, for some reason, as long as he was there, those evil people would not dare to approach her, and he also had light on him, the kind of light that demons and evil people did not dare to approach. The emperor turned his head to look at her, Luo Qingyun hurriedly avoided his eyes, and the corners of the emperor's lips raised slightly, and he smiled at her.
