Chapter 340: Second Watch
Zong Yunqian was groggy, slept for a day and a night, and there were constant nightmares, the whole person seemed to have fallen into the mud, and he woke up several times, and Gu Dao stayed by the bedside every step.
"Shizi, how are you?" The corners of Gu Dao's mouth foamed, and he brought water, Zong Yunqian took a sip and spit it out, and the west wind hurriedly cleaned it up, and it was the middle of the night, so he didn't dare to make too much noise.
Zong Yunqian fell asleep again, and since he came out of Duanwang's Mansion to now, he has not been awake, and he is groggy and delirious when he wakes up.
The west wind of the ancient road was as urgent as ants on a hot pot, and as soon as the two discussed, they decided to go to the palace overnight, ready to ask to see Master Hanyu.
The ancient Daoist had already arrived at the gate of the palace, but he was stopped, even if it was the token of the prince, it had no effect, and the ancient road was easy to say, but he couldn't get in.
The ancient road wasted another half an hour at the gate of the palace, and when he went back, it was almost dawn, but Zong Yunqian suddenly woke up.
Gu Dao and Xifeng happily helped their own son up, and when they saw that Zong Yunqian was not as groggy as before, and his consciousness was also sober, he was immediately happy.
"Shizi, where are you uncomfortable?" Gu Dao hurriedly asked, but he also knew that this matter could not be cured by ordinary doctors, that thing was very evil, it was not the first time they had dealt with ghosts, but this was the first time they had seen this situation.
"It's okay, bring me a cup of tea." Zong Yunqian shook his head, feeling that his body was okay, and it should be the collapse caused by excessive exertion.
"Shizi, give-" Xifeng hurriedly brought tea, Zong Yunqian took it, thinking that this ghost shadow should not be underestimated, if you are not mistaken, it should be a ghost with wisdom in the legend, if this ghost can be brought back to the Gandao Temple......
The west wind suddenly startled his eyes, and the black shadow visible to the naked eye rose on Zong Yunqian's back, and quickly disappeared, and the direction of the disappearance was Zong Yunqian's body.
Gu Dao hurriedly pulled Xifeng and asked him not to make a sound, although his mind was already blank, and the two of them didn't make a sound.
"What's the situation at Duanwang's Mansion?" Zong Yunqian raised his head and handed the teacup to Zephyr.
Xifeng's mind was blank, only seeing Zong Yunqian's lips open and closed, trying to hear what his son said, but he couldn't hear it at all, Xifeng suddenly felt excited and came back to his senses.
Zong Yunqian frowned and looked at the west wind, what kind of expression, as if he had seen a ghost.
"Shizi, what did you say?" Zephyr hurriedly asked.
"It's fine, it's calm." Gu Dao immediately said, "Shizi, the west wind has guarded you all night, and you can doze off when you stand, let him go and sleep for a while." ”
When Zong Yunqian heard this, he noticed that Gu Dao and Xifeng both had dark circles under their eyes, obviously it was not Xifeng who kept watch all night, so he waved his hand.
"Forget it, you all go and rest, I'm fine." Zong Yunqian said, Gu Dao and Xifeng did not insist at all and retreated.
As soon as they walked out of the room, the two were already holding each other's arms tightly, looking at each other, and they didn't need to open their mouths to understand what the other was going to say.
Frightened, frightened, not that they doubted, but that the ghost had really appeared in front of their eyes for the second time, and the son of the world must have ......
Gu Dao nodded, Xifeng shook his head, to make the last trace of resistance, the prince is a disciple of the Qiandao Temple, how could he be easily entangled by that ghost thing.
"We have to find a way to get the prince back to the Gandao Temple." Gu Dao said firmly, at this time, only Master Huo Yi can save the world.
……
The rumors about ghosts in Zhengdu have gone from whispering in the New Year to the point of panic, and in the temple where the mage is enshrined in the city of Zhengdu, there are many more people at once.
However, this also did not delay the saying about the possession of ghosts, first the family, now to the ordinary people, suddenly onset of illness, madness, high fever does not go away, seek medical advice and medicine are not willing, and wait for three or four days, in the temple of the Qiandao Temple to ask for a stay of incense ashes, but can be burned away, but people have lost the spirit of the past, but at least save their lives. But these days, there are more and more such cases, and the panic has gradually turned into a rumor.
There are all kinds of things, the most is the rumor that there is an evil ghost in the capital, and even what the evil ghost looks like, in the daytime he turns into a handsome man, and at night, he comes out to suck people's souls, wearing noses and eyes, and the people have broken their legs, but there are more and more rumors in the city.
After panicking for many days, the people who heard the lecture of the master in the palace, I don't know who started first, and many people have gathered in front of the door of the Zongsheng Mansion, affirming Master Yunqian's practice of opening the altar to exorcise demons and remove misfortune.
In the past few days, the Zongsheng Mansion did not respond, but as the number of people increased, the old lady of the Zongsheng was anxious at the same time, but she also thought that this was also the time that their Zongsheng Mansion had established its name.
Mrs. Zong doesn't want official positions and rights, she doesn't want money, but she is very interested in reputation.
The old lady of Zong sent someone to call Zong Yunqian twice, and Gu Dao and Xifeng couldn't hide it when they saw it, and they even had the idea of fainting their own son and then taking it to Gandao Temple.
Without waiting for them to act, Mrs. Zong had already come to find Zong Yunqian in person, Mrs. Zong knew that her grandson was used to it, but it was related to the reputation of the Zongsheng family, and Zong Yunqian, as a descendant of the Zongsheng family, naturally had to shoulder the responsibility on his shoulders.
"Shizi is sick?" Mrs. Zong was stunned for a moment, "Confused, why didn't you tell me about such a big thing?" ”
Saying that, he said that he was going to go in, but the ancient road and the west wind couldn't stop him, so he let the old lady of the sect in.
"Grandmother, don't listen to the two of them, I've only stayed up for a few nights, and this has eased up." When Zong Yunqian heard this, he stood up and took a special turn.
Mrs. Zong was relieved to come first and said about the opening of the altar.
"It's not that it can't be, grandmother rest assured, for the sake of the people, the grandson will naturally not shirk." Zong Yunqian readily agreed, and the ancient road west wind suddenly remembered that he didn't know what to say.
How could the prince agree, this practice of opening the altar was not what the prince was good at, and every night, when the prince was asleep, they saw more and more black gas gathered on the son's body, which had already made the two of them unable to eat or sleep, and they were anxious.
"Shizi, you're not in good health—" Gu Dao said stiffly, "Besides, we haven't caught that thing yet, we need to conserve our strength......"
Zong Yunqian shook his head with a smile when he heard this.
"You don't understand, this method of opening the altar doesn't need to consume physical strength, just attract some evil energy, and it's okay." Zong Yunqian has his own plan, since he can't catch the ghost, now his grandmother's words make him have a plan, why not lure it out, when the time comes, it will be much easier to make another move.
"Grandmother, don't worry, I'm ready to prepare, and I can open the altar tomorrow." Zong Yunqian said, completely ignoring the desperate expression on the face of the ancient road west wind.
