Chapter 404: Inducing Evil
Jiang Xing didn't know why she suddenly stopped, but he saw that she looked a little strange, so he asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Seeing this, Qingchen in front also stopped and looked at her, with concern in his eyes.
Such a noble person of high status is so generous. If he fails to burn the first incense tomorrow and instead makes others uncomfortable, wouldn't that be a loss?
Lu Xuan thought for a moment and asked Qingchen, "How far is this place from the guest room we're staying in tonight?"
Hearing that he was tired, Qingchen breathed a sigh of relief and smiled brightly, "It's almost there. Just follow this corridor, go straight ahead and then turn right. Go up to the second floor. On the right is a three-room house, which has always been prepared for the most distinguished guests. See which one is most suitable for the prince and princess and their entourage."
After a moment of silence, Lu Xuan nodded to signal Qingchen to continue forward, and she reached out and held Jiang Xing's hand.
The golden light is most intense here, which means it is emitted from nearby. From now on, they have to remember the way well.
When they reached the second floor, Qingchen opened the door with the key with a "click".
The door opened. Lu Xuan had assumed that a mountain lodge like Xuanyuan Temple would only be enough for one night. He hadn't expected that upon entering, the candles would be lit one by one. The flickering lights revealed a tapestry of colorful silks, embroidered carvings, and luxurious woods, all filled with a subtle fragrance. Even the floor was covered with exquisite palace carpets embroidered with magnolia flowers and peacock feathers. It was an unparalleled display of luxury.
Jiang Xing was very satisfied and turned to Feixing and nodded.
Feixing understood and took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and gave them to her.
When collecting the bill, Qingchen felt quite embarrassed and showed a certain reserve that had not been seen before.
She stole a few glances at Lu Xuan and Jiang Xing, and saw the prince, who was dressed in luxurious clothes and was elegant and graceful, massaging the legs of the princess, who had a beautiful face, a slender waist and a fairy-like appearance. He had no time to pay attention to this side, so she quickly put the banknotes in her arms, her face full of joy that could not be concealed.
Seeing that she had been looking at him for a while and didn't leave, Xuan Ge puffed out his chest and blocked her sight at the right time.
"Master Qingchen, it's late at night. The prince and princess are exhausted from their journey. We need to wait for you to rest. Please, Master, please leave first."
"Yes, yes, it's so late, of course we should rest first." Qingchen replied with a smile.
"The prince and princess do not like to be disturbed. Master, please tell the Taoist boy in charge of serving in the attic not to bother you. We will make arrangements."
Qingchen smiled so hard that his eyebrows were invisible, and nodded repeatedly, "Of course, this is natural."
She seldom saw such a graceful and elegant beauty, and wanted to take another look at her, but was watched by Xuan Ge as she stepped out of the room. After leaving the room, her face almost froze from smiling, and then she reacted and shook her Buddhist whisk to leave.
As soon as Qingchen left, Xuan Ge closed the door with two bangs, and then immediately put his ear close to the door to listen to the movement outside.
Listening to Qingchen's footsteps as he walked away, they stayed in the room for another half an hour, until they were sure that no one was moving around outside. Lu Xuan then pulled Jiang Xing and said, "Let's go!"
In the darkness of night, Lu Xuan and Jiang Xing took Feixing and quickly went down the stairs of the rear hall of Sanqing Temple.
The moon hangs high in the sky and the wind blows softly.
The few of them walked so quietly that there was not a sound of footsteps.
Following his memory of the trip, Lu Xuan quickly found the brightest spot of the golden light.
Lanterns were burning along the corridor. The slight breeze caused the lanterns painted with the Bagua diagram to sway, and the shadows of several people on the ground also changed.
This is under the eaves of the first floor of the rear hall of the Sanqing Temple, but the golden light is obviously not on the eaves, but in the room separated by a wall.
Feixing went ahead, looked around to see if there was anyone around, then tiptoed into the room to investigate.
The door was not locked, so I just pushed it open and went in.
It was deserted inside, but fortunately no one was living there, so Feixing breathed a sigh of relief. He wiped the tables and chairs, and his fingers were covered with a layer of gray-black dust.
After looking around, I found a suite with three rooms. In addition to the main hall, there was a bedroom, a room with some instruments and ancient books, and a room behind the bedroom, which was probably used for daily practice and meditation.
After checking that there was no danger in the house, Feixing immediately flashed to Jiang Xing's side.
"There's nothing unusual inside, it's safe to come in. It looks like no one has lived here in a while, and it's all dusty."
Lu Xuan glanced at Jiang Xing, nodded, and following the traces of golden light, he immediately pulled him into the somewhat cold room.
Feixing closed the door at the back to prevent anyone from coming in, and bolted it with a click.
Lu Xuan first scanned the room.
Things were neatly put away and the floor was clean and tidy, except for a light dust on the tables and chairs.
"The floor is dust-free, but the tables and chairs are lightly dusted. It seems this place has been uninhabited for a long time, and they've only arranged for someone to clean it. However, the cleaner must have been a bit lazy, and only swept the floor carelessly without wiping the utensils."
Jiang Xing smiled lightly, "The princess is very attentive."
Glancing around, Jiang Xing originally thought she was going to the room on the left, but Lu Xuan turned sideways to the right and said, "Let's go."
The right side is the direction where the golden light is emitted.
After taking two steps, Lu Xuan also became suspicious and turned to ask him, "There is an extremely strong golden evil aura here. Can't your Highness see it?"
She had placed a blood talisman on him before, and since he was surrounded by purple energy, he could now see the same evil spirits and ghosts that she had seen before.
This time he obviously misjudged her pace and planned to go in the opposite direction.
Jiang Xing's eyes were filled with confusion before he nodded. "What golden light did the princess mention? I didn't see a single ray. It was the dead of night, and all I could see was a vast expanse of darkness. If there was any golden light, it was probably only the yellow glow from the lanterns outside."
can not see?
They are all evil spirits, this shouldn’t be the case!
Lu Xuan walked while thinking, following the halo in front of her eyes and walked to the training room behind the bedroom. Suddenly, her steps stopped.
An extremely strong golden evil light emanated from a small clay pot in the house. The light was not dazzling. Even at the source, it was just like the sunshine in March, making people want to get closer.
Lu Xuan unconsciously reached out to grab the pottery jar, but Jiang Xing grabbed his hand.
"You're newly pregnant. What if you run into something poisonous or a hidden weapon? You're going to be a mother, and you're still so reckless!"
He uttered a few low words and glanced quickly at Feixing.
Feixing was shocked and quickly reached out to get it for her.
The jar was gently taken down, and when it was touched, it made a tinkling sound in the air.
Lu Xuan leaned over to take a look and saw a bronze Bagua compass and three turtle shells.
The compass has grown green rust and looks like it hasn't been used for many days.
Lu Xuan took the compass and looked at it, then scanned the narrow training room.
There didn't seem to be anything unusual, and no ghosts were seen.
Weird!
Why is there such evil energy?
Moreover, this evil spirit is golden in color.
Could it be that someone with great merit is harboring resentment?
What kind of sage has lived here?
Fei Xing saw that there was nothing wrong with the room, so he shook the pottery jar and said, "You know what, after entering this room, I feel quite comfortable all over. The energy in my Dantian is flowing more smoothly than usual."
"More comfortable?"
Lu Xuan felt even more surprised.
After thinking for a while, she took out a soul-calling talisman.
No matter what, the evil spirit must be drawn out before it can be resolved.
After all, this is a temple. Although this golden light evil does not seem to hurt people, and even ordinary people will feel comfortable when they approach it, we still have to find out the reason.
If one day the golden light disappears and only evil remains, the Xuanyuan Temple will be destroyed and many innocent people may be hurt.
Furthermore, she came here today to find out anything related to the Taoist Master Baopuzi, so she couldn't miss any abnormalities.
The talisman was activated, the spell was chanted, and blue flames suddenly shot out towards the clay pot.
Fei Xing shuddered and quickly placed the pottery jar on the small table. He then walked to the door to protect Lu Xuan.
Immediately afterwards, a scene that amazed Lu Xuan happened.
