Chapter 18: The Burning Female Ghost
The night gradually darkened, and the breeze blew faintly from the corner, blowing away the floating clouds in the sky little by little, revealing a clear and bright moon.
At this time, the mothers of each palace had already brought the people in their respective palaces at the request of the emperor, and they sat behind the emperor in a row according to their ranks, Gu Changqing, as a foreign minister, only made a seat on the outside, and the person who was close to him except for Yanmu was the sacrificial official Luan Chuan.
Before the specific hour arrived, the outside was already full of people watching the excitement, Gu Changqing turned his head, looked at Luan Chuan's expressionless face, and said with a smile, "The sacrificial officer is nervous at this time!" ”
Luan Chuan retorted angrily, "The thing I regret the most is that I fell into your trap that day!" ”
"But at that time, I had already told you clearly, I was planning the Hongmen Banquet, and you went there voluntarily!" Gu Changqing casually said the essence of the problem.
Luan Chuan laughed angrily, "Count you awesome." ”
"Priest, it's not me talking about you, you can't help but tempt and blame us, this is not a gentleman's doing!" Yan Mu, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but say, looking at Luan Chuan's pale face, he felt more and more interesting.
"Okay, you're all amazing!" Luan Chuan got up angrily and shook the wide sleeves of his robe, "You'd better pray to the heavens to bless you, otherwise when I finish this, I will definitely make you regret your decision at that time!" ”
Gu Changqing nodded, "Then I'll wait for you to come to me!" ”
Luan Chuan was angry and walked out of his seat directly, the little episode in this corner was not noticed, and he didn't think that Luan Chuan's iron face was angry with people, and most of them thought that he was solemn for a while.
Soon, the originally calm Miyagi wind became stronger and stronger, wantonly crashing into the palace walls, and letting out bursts of gloomy wind roars.
Seeing that the hour was almost up, the emperor who was sitting in the first seat got up and explained the matter of setting up the altar this time, saying that some of the recent events are all because of this painting, so in response to the way of heaven, the sacrificial officials set up an altar here to cast spells to ensure peace and tranquility in the palace, but in order to prevent the painting from continuing to make trouble, it was turned into ashes under the gaze of the palace people, so as to prevent future troubles.
As soon as the emperor's words fell, everyone saw that the sky was suddenly covered by thick clouds, but it only lasted for a moment, and soon, the moon appeared again in everyone's eyes.
The sudden change of light and darkness made everyone can't help but marvel, but soon, the people who had just calmed down found that the moon, which looked unusually bright, was gradually swallowed up by the darkness except for the thick clouds.
"Tengu, it's Tengu coming!" In the crowd, I don't know who shouted first, and soon, the crowd became noisy, all pointing at the tengu, shouting and scolding loudly.
At the same time, Luan Chuan, who had already been prepared on the altar, had already begun to swing the artifact in his hand, and that look, he really looked like a god descended to earth, and the noisy crowd below saw Luan Chuan also slowly quieted down, waiting for his actions.
The heavenly dog swallows the sun, it is really a celestial phenomenon, people want to pursue stability in panic, but they can't accept the vision of this sky, and always insert some gods and ghosts in their hearts, Gu Changqing looks at it like this, and he doesn't know what it feels like in his heart.
The moon was torn by the darkness, flowing black blood, and gradually swallowing up the last ray of light sprinkled in the world, and in an instant, the huge darkness poured down like a black curtain, covering the heavens and the earth, and the looming lights in the palace city became more and more subtle, as if it could no longer be lit up in one breath.
"The difference between the heavenly phenomena is the will of heaven, that is, the will of heaven, and the law of heaven should be practiced." Luan Chuan is a sacrificial official, this kind of situation is no more common for him, while shaking the artifact in his hand, he kept chanting, "Heavenly Law Dao, Dao Law Nature, Nature is fire, and the power of fire is for the gods!" The eye of the gods hangs high in the sky, and the things of demons should be forever extinguished. ”
As soon as Luan Chuan's miraculous incantation was read, the two candles on the altar flew high as if they had been enchanted in an instant, and then a crackling sound came out of the air, like the sound of something being burned again.
Soon, Luan Chuan threw something into the air with a handful in his hand, and in the distance, a sharp cry of biting pierced the darkness and reached everyone's heart.
After a long time, Luan Chuan put down the things in his hand and said extremely weakly, "The demon thing has been controlled by the eye of the gods, everyone can rest assured!" ”
Just as Luan Chuan's words fell, the darkness that devoured the moon began to gradually retreat, and little by little, the light began to return to the earth, splashing down like water.
And Luan Chuan's face in front of the altar was even more pale under the trance of the moonlight, and he had already used his luck just now, and before he could speak, a mouthful of blood gushed out of his mouth, falling on the altar, and falling on the ground full of brilliance.
"Quick, get that painting!" Luan Chuan helped Dongsheng beside him, endured the pain of bone erosion, and gritted his teeth and said, "We must burn this painting before the moon comes out completely!" ”
As soon as Luan Chuan's words were finished, the four masters of the imperial guards who had been guarding the scroll carried the scroll and placed it on the altar together.
"Demonic things, heaven and earth do not tolerate. Today, I, Luanchuan, will use the eye of this god to destroy you between heaven and earth! Luan Chuan gritted his teeth, stiffened his way to break away from Dongsheng's support, and walked back to the altar, saying that it was too late, that it was too fast, the candle flame on the altar instantly ignited by itself, and the light was full of light, Luan Chuan was a little excited to stretch out his hand and pick up the "Palace Night Banquet Map" that was placed on the altar, closed his eyes tightly, and waited for the last moment - at the moment when the moon came out completely, he threw it into the fire in one fell swoop?
"It's water, it's water!"
However, before this last time came, a sharp shout came, and a little eunuch hurriedly ran over, "The emperor is not good, Qionghua Pavilion is gone!" ”
Qionghua Pavilion is the emperor's place to hide books, which contains the spiritual wealth of the world for thousands of years, as soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked, and the emperor quickly stood up, "What's the matter!" ”
"The slave didn't know either, but I just heard the palace man on duty just now shouting, saying that it was a drain!" The little eunuch looked dazed and replied truthfully.
As soon as such an accident came out, people left this Luanchuan behind, and even the "palace night banquet map" that was about to be devoured by fire was temporarily forgotten by people.
"What are you doing in a daze, why don't you go and put out the fire!" The emperor shouted vigorously at the guards and eunuchs around him, "If there is the slightest damage to my collection of books, I will ask for you!" ”
"Don't worry, the emperor, I think those palace people on duty have already gone to put out the fire!" After the queen mother settled the little prince beside her, she hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her.
The emperor looked at the little eunuch who had just run over, "When did you find out that Qionghua Pavilion was running into water!" ”
The little eunuch lowered his head, and said in a non-positive manner, "If you go back to the emperor, it is from the time when the moon was rescued, and gradually there was light, and I began to see the smoke, and then I heard the shouts of the palace people!" ”
"Good, good!" The emperor smiled heartily, "Such a clever person deserves to be rewarded!" However, what is the situation in this Qionghua Pavilion, I am still a little worried, so you can go with me to see! ”
After taking two steps, the emperor glanced back at Luan Chuan again, "By the way, now that the moon has come out, I'm afraid that it's useless to do the law, so you can take this "palace night banquet map" and follow along!" ”
Gu Changqing patted Luan Chuan's side on the shoulder, "How hard is the sacrificial officer today?!" ”
Luan Chuan looked at everything in a daze, and he didn't know whether to be happy or happy, the feeling of holding the painting in his hand and wanting to throw it into the fire just now was really a bone-eating pain!
A group of people walked towards Qionghua Pavilion from the altar, the moon and the moon passed just a moment of danger at this time, but it became brighter and brighter, and the looming orange clouds around it were even more wonderful, but the noisy sound of firefighting gradually coming from Qionghua Pavilion not far away made people can't help but worry in their hearts.
But no one noticed that something was wrong with this!
