The fortune-telling princess: Marry a thousand-year-old man

Chapter 40: Nothing on the surface, nothing different on the inside

"Little Ye Zi, Master, hurry up and save me."

Lu Wan Ning knew that it was already early the next morning when Wu Wei disappeared.

In the past few nights, Ye Canghao always took her to the top of the snow-capped mountains to absorb the moonlight. The black lines on her face had receded to the point where she could not see them when covering her face with a veil.

This morning, Ye Canghao was dining with her, and the maid serving the food accidentally broke the plate. She was so frightened that she quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Princess, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please spare my life."

Ye Canghao was about to ask someone to drag him out and beat him to death.

Lu Wan Ning shouted: "Wait a minute."

She walked to the broken tableware and looked at it carefully. This was a sleep hexagram, "Is Wuweike back?"

The people who can appear in this hexagram can only be the most important people in the house, and with her and Ye Canghao here, only Wuwei is left.

Manager Liang was standing at the door. He had come in when the maid was breaking the tableware. Hearing the princess' inquiry, he hurriedly said: "To answer the princess's question, I went to see you just now, and Taoist Master Wuwei has not returned yet."

Originally, they didn't have to worry about Wuwei's whereabouts, but they didn't know what happened in the past few days. Taoist priest Wuwei always seemed to be in trouble.

The prince ordered them to go to Taoist Priest Wuwei's residence every day and report if he came back.

"what happened?"

Ye Canghao looked serious.

Something must have happened to make her look like this.

"Something happened to Wuwei."

Lu Wan Ning looked at Ye Canghao with her big eyes open.

With a veil on her face, others could not see her worried expression, but the worry in her eyes was obvious.

Hearing this, Ye Canghao pulled Lu Wan Ning out without saying a word.

Nothing will happen if you do nothing.

He was his only confidant for thousands of years. If something happened to Wuwei, Ye Canghao really didn't know what nostalgia he would have for this world.

After going out, the direction of the two of them was undoubtedly Anjiang Village outside the city.

In the past few days, Wuwei has been staying near Anjiang Village.

"Wuwei is in Anjiang Village?"

The two of them have arrived outside the village of Anjiang Village.

Ye Canghao looked at the peaceful village and replied, "He should have disappeared here."

After that, he told Wuwei what happened in Anjiang Village these days.

At this time, villagers from Anjiang Village passed by the two of them.

"Hello, Great God, have you met Taoist Master Wuwei?"

"You are…"

The woman was a villager from Anjiang Village and was taking her children to deliver clothes to her husband who was working in the city.

Because the fields in Anjiang Village have withered, many young and strong villagers have no choice but to go to the city to work to support their families.

In the past two days, there were only a few old, weak, women and children left in the village.

The woman had met Taoist Priest Wuwei in the village, but he always wandered in the fields outside the village, and occasionally came into the village just to beg for water.

Just like yesterday, the woman brought a bowl of water and a steamed bun to Taoist Master Wuwei.

Lu Wan Ning is wearing a veil, no wonder she doesn't remember herself.

"Oh, we are friends of Taoist Master Wuwei. He didn't come home all night, so we are quite worried about him."

She pulled Ye Canghao's sleeve to prevent him from revealing his identity.

The village is full of simple villagers. If they knew that the regent was coming, the whole village would be in a panic.

"The Taoist priest has been around here for the past few days, but he usually doesn't go into the village. He just waits in the fields."

The woman's eyes looked towards the withered fields. She had not really seen Taoist Wuwei today.

Hearing this, Lu Wan Ning arrived at Xie, looked around, and found no trace of Wu Wei, so she took Ye Canghao to the west of the village.

On the way, she also explained: "There are fields not only on this side of the village, but also on the west side of the village. They are all cultivated by the villagers of Anjiang Village. Let's go there to see if there is any figure of Wuwei."

Ye Canghao is a high-ranking regent. Although he knows the general location of the farmers' fields near the Imperial Capital, he does not know the specifics.

Only when he really saw the withered crops did he feel inspired.

"The fields have turned into this?"

Didn't the villagers report it to the court?

Or did someone in the court conceal this matter?

"The crops withered overnight, and the villagers were helpless. They found me and Wuwei in the city, thinking we could solve the problem. Unexpectedly, a repair charm was useless. The next day, the fields returned to their current appearance."

Lu Wan Ning also sympathized with the innocent people.

Who is it that endangers the people like this?

If she could find this person, she would definitely give him retribution and ask him to give an explanation to the villagers of Anjiang Village.

"No one reported it?"

Ye Canghao noticed the sick words in Lu Wan Ning's mouth.

The villagers just went to the city to find a monk to resolve the matter, but they had no intention of reporting it to the official?

Lu Wan Ning shook her head and said she didn't know, "Who knows, maybe they feel that even reporting to the official will not solve their current predicament."

One thing Lu Wan Ning was sure of was that the villagers were definitely hiding something from them.

She remembers that when she first asked if there were people living on the mountain peak, the villagers' evasive looks made her suspicious.

The two also searched the fields to the west of the village, but still found nothing.

Lu Wan Ning couldn't.

Ye Canghao discovered the clue.

"Come and have a look."

This is where the human form formed by the black energy stayed last night, and Ye Canghao discovered the remaining black energy.

"what?"

Lu Wan Ning could not see due to an eye disease that was not cured.

Ye Canghao stretched out his index and middle fingers, a little between her eyebrows.

Lu Wan Ning saw the remaining black energy on the ground.

"You can actually cure my eye disease?"

She was shocked. If this was the case, wouldn't she be able to do astrology?

With this thought in mind, she began to cast spells with her eyes closed.

However, there is still a fog in front of me.

"My anger is just an appearance. You seem to have recovered, but it's not the case."

Ye Canghao's voice rang in Lu Wan Ning's ears.

Lu Wan Ning suddenly felt like a deflated ball, "I understand."

This means that he allowed her to see the things left by the perpetrators, just like ordinary people who temporarily opened their eyes and could see the soul body.

I can only see that I have no ability to protect myself.

"Okay, let's go over there and have a look."

Ye Canghao felt guilty.

Holding her hand, the two of them followed the black mist left behind and walked up the mountain.

Lu Wan Ning was not a negative person. After knowing the facts, she immediately returned to her original motivation.

Actively explore the black mist on the ground.

"This black mist is not harmful to the human body, but it causes disaster when it falls to the ground. Wherever it falls, all the grass withers."

She squatted on the ground, picked up the black mist and checked it, and found that there was no damage to her body.

Ye Canghao exuded a violent energy all over his body to sense the existence of things around him.

Lu Wan Ning saw this and did not stop him.

His violent energy is exactly the same as the black mist on the ground, but the difference is that the black mist is just black mist. Even if it is destructive, it is not one thousandth of the violent energy. He can only let the violent energy absorb it obediently.
