Chapter Twenty-Seven: Fleur Hunts Ghosts
The center of the Hibiscus Garden is a lake, there is a small island in the center of the lake, the largest pavilion evening hall in the Hibiscus Garden is built on this small island, the island is isolated from the land on all sides, only three stone arch bridges up to 100 zhang are connected to the outside, the evening hall is the place where the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty feasts and dances on weekdays, and the nine princesses live here after entering the Hibiscus Garden, this night the nine princesses are playing in the evening hall with several handkerchiefs who come to accompany the car, suddenly see the figure poking outside, the guard suddenly strengthened, and several daughters in the evening hall, including the nine princesses, suddenly quieted down, you look at me, I look at you are slightly uneasyγ
The Ninth Princess summoned the palace maid and instructed, "You go outside and ask, what is the matter? The guards are so unusually mobile, don't scare my little sisters." The palace maid was ordered to retreat.
After a while, the personal palace maid walked quickly to the side of the ninth princess, and reported in her ear: "Back to the princess, it was the guards who found a stranger outside the Furong Garden who wanted to break into the Furong Garden at night, and then a lieutenant of Jin Wuwei arrived to excuse the person, it turned out to be a misunderstanding, and now the park has been lifted." β
"Whew!" The ninth princess breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest and said, "I'm scared to death, it turned out to be a false alarm!"
Seeing the ninth princess looking like this, those handkerchiefs also breathed a sigh of relief when they knew that there was nothing to do outside, they were all little sisters in their cardamom years, and they soon became a mess again.
............
Outside the Furong Garden, after asking a few words with a few Jin Wuwei guards guarding outside the gate, Dou Sandao pulled Wuqing aside and said in a low voice: "How can my brother act so recklessly? If it weren't for the little monk's skillful technique, I wouldn't have been able to rush over so quickly with my legs broken, if you really had a conflict with them, the matter would be a big problem!" I asked them just now, there is no abnormal situation in the garden, this hibiscus garden is guarded by a formation, the ghost will not enter quietly, if there is a disturbance, it will not escape the eyes of the guards, you can rest assured!"
Before Wuqing could say anything, Luo Ling walked over with a compass in his hand, and said to Dou Sandao with a solemn face: "That's not necessarily, the ghost compass shows that the ghost is in the Hibiscus Garden now!"
Dou Sandao squinted at Luo Ling and asked, "This Hibiscus Garden is guarded by a large array, how did that powerful ghost get in?"
Luo Ling sneered: "You ask me, who do I ask?"
Wu Qingmeng stretched out his hands to stop the two people who were about to quarrel, and asked Dou Sandao in a deep voice: "Yes or no, you will know as soon as you enter, Brother Dou, we have to enter the Furong Garden." β
Dou Sandao looked at Luo Ling and then at Wuqing, and said with a sad face: "Brother, you don't know, now there are only the nine princesses in this Hibiscus Garden, so our Jin Wuwei is only responsible for the outer guards, and there are female guards on duty in the garden, so it is impossible for them to let us in." β
Wuqing insisted that Dou Sandao go to the female commander of the Praetorian Guard to explain the seriousness of the situation. Dou Sandao couldn't resist Wuqing, and second, it was also his duty, so he personally entered the Furong Garden to find the female guard, and it took half an hour of effort, Dou Sandao led a woman dressed as a palace maid out of the garden with an embarrassed face.
Wuqing hurriedly greeted him, and when he saw that he still knew him, it was the palace maid who reprimanded him in the palace that day, and the palace maid obviously recognized him, and said with apricot eyes: "It turned out to be you, the disciple!"
Dou Sandao interjected on the side: "Brother, this is the Miao Commander of the internal guard, after I told the Miao Commander about the situation just now, the Miao Commander launched a large array to search carefully, there is indeed no shadow of that powerful ghost in the garden, let's worry too much!"
Commander Miao sneered: "Just now Captain Dou told me that I was afraid that a powerful ghost would sneak in, but now it seems that it was a pervert who came to the door to falsely report the military situation! If it weren't for Captain Dou's face, I would have punished you for trespassing on the forbidden land! Get out of here!"
Wuqing looked at Dou Sandao, who looked helpless, and then looked back at Luo Ling, who was watching the play behind, the latter spread his hands and said: "My ghost-searching compass can't be wrong! Now it shows that this ghost is in the garden, less than a mile away from us!"
Wuqing thought for a while, and said categorically: "Then we will wait here! This terrible ghost can sneak into the hibiscus garden without being detected, it is not untargeted, it is impossible to just stay and do nothing! As long as it makes a noise, let's go in and catch it!"
Dou Sandao couldn't do anything at first glance, but fortunately, it was Jin Wuwei who was on duty outside, and no one would come to drive him away if he stopped outside with a few people.
About an hour later, it was already three quarters of the hour, this is the time when people are most likely to get sleepy, the Jin Wuwei on duty at the gate are already tired, and the earth illuminated by a full moon is like a layer of silver sand, Dou Sandao Wuqing Xuanshi and the three of them meditate quietly not far from the gate, only Luo Ling has been paying attention to the compass in his hand.
Wuqing was closing his eyes to recuperate, only to hear Luo Ling whisper urgently: "Move! move!" He got up and stepped forward directly, Dou Sandao and Xuanshi also jumped up directly, and several people watched the pointer on the compass in Luo Ling's hand rotate rapidly. Everyone didn't know why, Luo Ling opened his mouth to explain: "This guy suddenly broke out, and now the yin qi has shrouded the surroundings, it is estimated that it will ......" Before the words were finished, they only heard a scream of "Ah!" in the garden resounded in the night sky, followed by a chaotic noise.
"I guess I'm going to do evil...... Luo Ling added unhurriedly. The four of them looked at each other and smiled, and ran towards the gate of the Hibiscus Garden together.
Jin Wuwei, who was on duty at the door, already knew why these four people came, but now there was this movement in the garden, which confirmed that what his own lieutenant said was true, no need to say more, opened the gate and let these four people in directly!
After the four of them entered the garden, they followed the sound, and saw a team of female guards in a clearing, all of them with withered faces, and their breath was cut off, obviously they were sucked out of their essence and died. Xuanshi took the lead in leaning over and inspecting it, and shook his head at the three of them, indicating that there was no help, Luo Ling pointed to his forehead, and shouted in his mouth: "Open!" Dou Sandao Xuanshi and the two of them only felt that there was a fire between their eyebrows, and when they noticed it again, they saw a thick fog like black ink floating on a lake in front of them, and Wuqing was carrying the eyes of breaking the law, and all the vanity did not exist in his eyes, and he found this black fog in the morning, and now he looked at it carefully, and found that there was a pair of blood-red eyes hidden in the black fog looking at this place coldly.
"Be careful," Wuqing reminded in a low voice as he pulled out the Four Laws Qingyun on his back, "It's ahead, and it's staring at us right now!"
"His grandmother's," Dou Sandao also pulled out his treasure knife, licked his lips and said, "This thing doesn't look easy to kill!" Xuanshi, is there any Dharma that can bless me so that I can cut it into the flesh?"
Xuanshi ignored him, only to see him fold his hands, his two big sleeves were windless, and his body floated up out of thin air, and he said in his mouth: "Hum, Ma, Zhi, Mou, Ye, Sa, Lie, De." As soon as these eight-character mantras came out, the black mist melted a lot in an instant like hot soup pouring snow!
"Roar ......" The ghost in the black fog let out a miserable roar, this sound made the scalps of the four and the guards who rushed here tingle as if they were exploding, and before the four of them could make a move, the black fog exploded violently, and a green-faced and fanged demon burst out of it, heading straight for the dark stone in the air!
Wuqing, who had been prepared, took the lead in shooting, a thunderbolt was thrown out, and the thunderbolt hit the evil ghost directly, flooding with a black gas, the evil ghost still rushed over as if it was not affected at all, Dou Sandao shook the big knife, and the body jumped into the air, only one knife, the ghost's body was split in half, turned into two black gases and circled around and then converged in one place, the figure of the evil ghost came out intact from this black gas, Luo Ling said on the side: "Ordinary magic has little effect on this powerful ghost, you have to use all your strength!" Otherwise, when it runs away, it will be very difficult to find it again!"
Immediately he concentrated his concentration on the condensation method in the palm of his hand, ready to see if this powerful ghost was afraid of this five thunder spells that broke the yin and evil, Dou Sandao saw that there was thunder in Wuqing's palm, and he knew that he was preparing the spell, and then flew up at the moment, entangled with this powerful ghost; the Xuanshi that had been floating in the air was not idle, and the Buddhist mantra in his mouth kept reading.
The terrible ghosts have been suppressed in the blood pool hell for thousands of years, these eighteen layers of hell are all created by the Buddhists, aiming to let the evildoers eliminate their sins and solve their karma, and re-enter the reincarnation, so those terrible ghosts are tortured in hell every day while constantly listening to the Buddhist teachings, and their hearts have long been extremely disgusted with this Buddhist affairs, and now they finally stopped for a few days, and heard this disgusting Dharma, and they were even more furious, roaring in their mouths, and their claws conjured up various spells and threw them towards the Xuanshi.
Xuanshi didn't dare to be careless about the magic of this evil ghost, so he could only suspend the recitation of the Buddhist mantra and turn to casting spells to protect himself, Luo Ling over there snorted softly, and it was actually the original woman's voice, and a black shadow came out of his palm in response, and it smashed directly on the chest of the ghost with lightning speed. only heard the sound of "stabbing", and the demon's figure was directly hit by this black shadow, and almost fell off.
Wuqing seized the opportunity, and the five thunder spells in his palm instantly went out, heading straight to the face door of the ghost, and the thick white thunderbolt instantly illuminated the entire Hibiscus Garden. No matter how powerful this ghost is, it is also a ghost who is naturally afraid of thunder and lightning, and he has just been able to resist a thunder talisman in Wuqing, which is already extremely profound, and now he has encountered the five thunder spells, which are the Zhenshan spells of the Fangcun Mountain faction, and he only has the share of hatred. After the Five Thunder Spells, the ghost's body became extremely black, and there was no movement at all.
Luo Ling took out the soul bead and made a move towards the ghost, only to see that the ghost directly turned into a cloud of black smoke and drilled into the soul bead, until Luo Ling received the soul bead into his Qiankun bag, and the four people were all relieved.
Dou Sandao looked at the female guards who surrounded him on all sides, and said with a wry smile: "This powerful ghost is so powerful, if I encounter it alone, I will probably be eaten alive by it." β
Wuqing glanced at him and said with a smile: "That's not necessarily, you just don't know the advantages and disadvantages of this kind of thing, if you understand, it's not difficult to beat it." β
Luo Ling looked at the three people, and said with some surprise: "I thought there would be a hard battle, but I didn't expect you to be able to ambush this powerful ghost so easily, it seems that I can keep a safe place around Chang'an City in the future!"
Xuanshi also fell to the ground at this time, and was casting a spell to remove the yin and evil qi contaminated in the fighting method just now for Dou Sandao, and said with a smile: "As I expected, these powerful ghosts are very jealous of my Buddhism, and the little monk needs to practice more diligently." β
Wu Qing was just about to speak, but he saw that the commander of the guard Miao had already walked over, looked at the corpses of a team of guards at the feet of the side, and said with a little sadness: "The ninth princess has a will, announce that you and the other four people will meet you!"
