23. The Resentful Spirit of the Deep Palace (I)

Walking in the palace, pretending to be a chamberlain is really much more convenient.

When the two walked out of the side garden one after the other, the guards who passed by on patrol didn't even look at them.

They walked out of the alley with their heads bowed and walked out of the alleyway, and they were both relieved that they could no longer see the guards.

"Where are we going to play?" Xue Li asked excitedly, standing at the intersection of the regular palace lane.

"Nanxun Temple. Ye Yao replied without thinking.

Although the Xuanzhen Dao Elder told her not to use spiritual power and spells, she was too anxious to wait for the past few days, and she still took the risk of using water beads a few times and probed the demonic energy in some secluded places.

Strangely, no clues were found each time, only the slow-released white light of the water beads themselves.

It stands to reason that the palace is dotted with palaces, concubines and palace people, even if there are no demons, there should always be individual lost resentful spirits.

The fact that the water beads did not react was a point—not only were there demons here, but the mana was very strong, far above her and Xue Li.

As for the resentful spirits that should always be there, they may also be suppressed by demons and hiding somewhere in the palace.

The layout of the palace is strictly neat, with the meridian as the central axis, the left ancestor and the right society, the front and the back of the bed, not only the difference between yin and yang, but also the difference between good and evil.

The Nanxun Hall of the three places on the side of the West Palace, located on the five fierce positions of the entire palace, has the strongest yin qi and the heaviest ferocity, which is very easy to breed evil spirits, and is also very suitable for resentful spirits to hide.

"Resentful spirits" are the fish that slip through the net, the undead who wander in the world and refuse to go.

They are born out of the unwillingness to die, and grow on the resentment of the living, and usually the breath is extremely weak and erratic, and it is not easy to detect the immortal method and the water beads.

Today, the Qiankun Bell returned to his hand, and he just got there to give it a try.

West Palace, South Smoke Palace

Although it was noon, the palace pavilion, which had not been repaired for a long time and looked dilapidated, was still cold all around.

At the time of lunch, there were very few palace people coming and going.

Slipping into the palace one after the other, Xueli quickly placed a ban on the door.

Stepping on the lush moss, standing under the long steps of the bluestone, facing the closed temple door, Ye Yao took out the Qiankun bell in her sleeve, stroked it in a daze, and said, "Xueli, I miss Chutang so much." ”

"First ...... Tang ......"

Xue Li was shocked, it has been more than seventy years, and Ye Yao has not mentioned this name for more than seventy years!

That strange note, on the moonlit night when Kunlun Xujiazi met, Ye Yao went to the appointment alone......

She had always wondered what had happened that day.

Why did you say that it was a good discussion, Ye Yao almost died in Falling Moon Lake?

Why did Tianyingmen's fellow senior sister Chu Tang disappear without a trace, but no one cares?

Why didn't Shizun allow anyone to mention Chutang to Ye Yao again?

Why didn't Ye Yao say a word after waking up, as if she had forgotten Chu Tang and everything that day?

Xue Li grabbed Ye Yao's hand, "What did you just say?"

Ye Yao's fingertips trembled, and she suddenly came back to her senses.

"I just ...... It seems like...... Fell asleep. She suddenly panicked.

I've never been like this in my life.

For a moment, her mind went blank.

What's going on today?

......

"Yeyao, let's go back. It's so eerie and a little scary. Xue Li shrunk her shoulders and pulled her back.

Ye Yao had already relieved herself, "What are you afraid of? ”

As she spoke, she held the Qiankun Bell in one hand and cast a "Qingyin Mantra" around it with the other. Then put their fingers together and chanted a spell to unlock the seal on the bell.

"Ding-bell-bell-ding-bell-"

The most common bell sounds, as if ringing in the ears.

The slow rhythm and faint sound showed the lowness of the opponent's spiritual power.

"Sure enough, there are resentful spirits. ”

Ye Yao sealed the bell again, put it back in her sleeve pocket, and offered her long sword with her backhand, and climbed the long steps lightly.

"Night ......"

Xue Li wanted to stop talking.

She couldn't believe that the voice that usually excited her made her feel creepy today just because of a name in Ye Yao's mouth.

The bell rang so softly, it was obvious that the spiritual power of this resentful spirit was weak, and I was afraid that a ray of warm sun could make it dissipate.

But why, the breeze around her, and the steps of herself and Ye Yao, made her feel frightened?

Now, immediately, take Ye Yao away immediately!

A thought jumped into my heart, as if the voice in my heart came into my ears, and it was still in the tone of Kunlun Xu's "old man"!

......

"No—"

Xue Li stepped forward quickly and reached out to pull Ye Yao's sleeve.

In an instant, Ye Yao had already pushed open the door of the hall and stepped in with her legs raised.

Xue Li was dragged into the hall together, and the door "clanged" and closed by itself.

She stood still, followed Ye Yao's solemn gaze, and saw a waterfall of long black hair scattered not far from her feet, extending to the dormitory on the other side of the entrance.

"You are tangible?!It seems that you have been in the palace for a long time. What's going on here? Why are you hiding here?"

Ye Yao held a long sword and walked towards the entrance step by step.

The long hair all over the ground seemed to have life, and it squirmed to both sides, making way for them.

Xue Li quickly turned around and back-to-back with Ye Yao, guarding her surroundings while following her steps step by step.

Sticking to Xue Li's back, Ye Yao instantly understood what she meant.

Although this resentful spirit has low mana, the number of paths is quite evil. Since you can't use spiritual power at will, if you want to dispel it, you have to start first.

Walking to the entrance, Ye Yao glanced at it.

I saw a woman in white sitting in the dim dormitory, in front of the dusty dressing table.

She held a silver comb in her hand, and a waterfall of long hair reached the ground, stretching all the way to the outside of the hall.

"Evil Barrier—"

Xue Li scolded, kicking away a strand of hair behind him that was trying to attack.

The strand of hair was responsive, and it rolled back as it dodged, tying her legs at once.

"Ahh

The moment Xue Li was dragged down, the long hair in all directions was like a churning black wave, quickly wrapping towards her.

Ye Yao originally wanted to go close to the resentful spirit and then cast a "trapped spirit spell" to capture it, but she didn't expect the other party to be so desperate.

Cutting off the entwined long hair, she threw the long sword, and said: "Tianhuo Mingtai, ten directions shine!"

This is a "dazzling seal" that specializes in dealing with evil spirits, and it is used to deal with evil spirits, and it is easy to make it go up in smoke.

"Ahh

The wraith was burned by the charm, curled up in a ball with its charred face, and its long black hair receded from Xueli's body, instantly retracting back to its master's side, wrapping it in layers.

Ye Yao raised her hand and formed the Dharma Seal again.

The orange light shone at the wraith's feet, and it was so frightened that it couldn't help but retreat in.

Ye Yao said: "Answer me a question, I can send you to the Netherworld Reincarnation." ”

"What?" the wraith cowered, looking fearfully at the "daylight" in her hand.

"What drove you here?" Ye Yao asked.

The wraith flinched, and raised his hand behind her.
