The prince's personal bodyguard

The man was not tall, wearing a green robe and wearing a bun. He wore cotton shoes and carried a cloth bag. His eyes were as bright as the morning stars, his aura was as imposing as a rainbow and he sat as tall as a mountain. He walked like a dragon and a tiger, and never stepped on dust. From a distance, he gave people a feeling of immortality.

When I came to him, he had a thin face, pale complexion and long beard. Not only was his beard long, his face was also long, like Changbai Mountain, no wonder he was called Taoist Priest Changshan.

You can't touch the end of that long face in a whole day. Wherever you touch, it will leave a mark. You can continue touching the next day when you find the mark.

If one is not enough, add a face.

The Taoist priest came in to pay his respects to the Emperor and the two ladies, and Concubine Lan called him "Uncle".

Just after the audience, the emperor began to introduce Bai Xinyin. Before he finished introducing the Marquis of Dongcheng, the Taoist priest glared at Bai Xinyin and pointed at him, "Your Majesty, the evil spirit is on the Marquis of Dongcheng! Evil creature, where can you escape to?"

What a great "get straight to the point"! Isn't this too impatient? At least you should prepare a few sentences before writing an essay.

Bai Xinyin smiled and said, "Excuse me, Taoist priest, how do you know that the little ghost is on me?"

"I have practiced Taoism for many years, and I am not comparable to you, a mortal. Today I will destroy this evil ghost. I hope Dongcheng Hou Jing will cooperate with me and be patient!" As he said that, he took out the sword and stabbed Bai Xinyin.

Good man, if you keep catching ghosts like this, by the time you stab the ghost to death, the person will be almost dead too.

The emperor also saw something was wrong and was a little confused. He hurriedly stopped him and said, "Master Changshan, if you catch ghosts like this, won't it harm the living? Is there any other way?"

Concubine Lan winked at the Taoist priest, who stopped and said, "I saw that this ghost has done great harm to people, and the Ninth Prince is in danger, so I became a little anxious. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." After saying this, he bowed deeply.

"Wait for me to perform the ritual!" The Taoist priest was an impatient man, but he was very efficient. After that, he asked someone to move a table to the middle of the yard, set up an altar, put an incense burner on it, offered fruits, lit candles, placed a token, and arranged the wooden sword.

He first performed the Stepping Gang Dou, then the Seven Star Gang, then the Nine Star Step, knocking the token, waving the token, waving the wooden sword, swinging the whisk, turning around, and suddenly spitting out several mouthfuls of fire, and roared at Bai Xinyin: "Accept my life!"

The imperial concubine and the palace maids nearby were all startled.

Bai Xinyin saw that when the Taoist priest was spinning, he first drank a few sips of oil, and then used the angle to spit out a mouthful of oil. To others, it looked like fire coming out of the Taoist priest's mouth. A real Taoist priest summoned his own spiritual fire, which showed that this Taoist priest was not very experienced and was probably always cheating.

In fact, a Taoist priest who has real Taoist skills and a Taoist heritage can use Taoist magic. A thought, a thought, a motive, an action, a taboo, and a decision can all be used to cast a spell!

But some Taoists like to make things complicated. After all, ordinary people cannot see the secrets and can only see the appearance. Some people think that the more realistic and ornamental your work is, the longer it takes, and the better the effect, the more powerful it is.

The Taoist priest was a little impatient just now. He wanted to stab Bai Xinyin to death directly, so he didn't do any fancy moves.

After being reminded by Concubine Lan, he now calmed down and performed the ritual seriously. He did it very well, circling the table several times, spitting fire and water. It was obvious that he was an old hand.

Why did water spray out? Because Bai Xinyin secretly replaced the oil with water while the Taoist turned his head.

Taoist priest: Where is my oil? Then he looked around, looking for his oil.

Bai Xinyin: I'm lucky you by not replacing your urine with boy's urine to help you clear away your heat and reduce your internal heat.

The Taoist priest was not panicked. If this one didn't work, he would try another one. He took out another talisman from his bag, muttered something, and pointed the peach wood sword at a phoenix tree in the yard. "Crack", the phoenix tree, which was as big as a bowl, was cut in half.

"How amazing!" All the eunuchs and palace maids in the courtyard were amazed!

The Taoist priest became extremely excited and pointed his sword at the sky. Then a thunder sounded in the clear sky.

You’re really good at this!

Sometimes the truth is not known to everyone. This Taoist priest has been showing off for a long time just to make everyone believe that he is very powerful. In fact, there is no ghost in Bai Xinyin. He is just pretending to show people how powerful he is. If the Ninth Prince gets better soon, it is all because of the ghost he exorcised.

Just as he pointed the sword at Bai Xinyin, Bai Xinyin suddenly saw that the rune looked very familiar. Wasn't that the Five Thunder Rune that he had thrown into the trash can when he was practicing drawing runes, and was later picked up by Master Wu?

"Hahaha..." Bai Xinyin couldn't help laughing. She had a habit when drawing talismans. She always liked to draw a small tail at the back of the paper.

"What are you laughing at? I will chop you into eight pieces and rid the people of this evil!"

The Taoist priest really recited the spell and swung the peach wood sword towards Bai Xinyin.

The eunuchs, palace maids and guards in the yard were so frightened that they quickly closed their eyes.

The Emperor and the Imperial Consort couldn't bear to watch and covered their eyes.

Bai Xinyin secretly made a hand gesture, and with the sound of "click", everyone thought that this time it was over, and the Marquis of Dongcheng would be killed by the long-faced Taoist priest.

Everyone waited for a long time but there was no movement. They opened their eyes and saw Bai Xiyin motionless, with a dimpled smile and a beautiful face that almost blinded everyone's eyes.

But the Taoist priest was covered in black, his clothes were burnt, his long beard was curled, and Changbai Mountain turned into Changhei Mountain.

"What's going on?" The old Taoist pointed his sword again, but Bai Xinyin was still unharmed. However, the Taoist's head was on fire, but the nearest maid used Concubine Lan's tea to put it out for fear of burning herself.

The Taoist priest was a little confused. Usually, this talisman was very useful. He spent two hundred taels of silver to wholesale it. He used it to fool many people and made a lot of money.

After three consecutive strikes, Bai Xinyin was still safe and sound, but the Taoist priest was almost roasted. If he chopped off another piece of his body, he would probably have nothing left except his underpants.

The spell soon lost its effect.

"If what we did just now can be considered exorcism, we can do it too." Bai Xinyin said as he picked up the oil and let a low-ranking eunuch drink it, then he sprayed it on the lit candle. With a "whoosh", the flame jumped high.

The young eunuch was startled: "Oh my god, I can breathe fire too?"

Everyone's eyes widened. Xiao Shunzi could breathe fire. Could we become immortals too?

The old Taoist priest was so angry that he said, "You evil ghost, you are very powerful. I will ask the heaven to kill you!"

As he said that, he took out his real sword and slashed at Bai Xinyin.

That's it, is that all? It's not even half an episode long.

Concubine Lan's expression changed.

Bai Xinyin originally wanted to imitate the Taoist priest and act mysterious for a while, but then he thought that his prince was still waiting outside, so he decided to end the battle quickly.

After dodging the Taoist's sword, Bai Xinyin took out a talisman and stuck it on the Ninth Prince's forehead. With a wail, a baby-like thing ran out of the Ninth Prince's body and ran into the room where Concubine Lan lived.

The Ninth Prince slowly opened his eyes: "What's wrong with me? Why is Father here? Mother, what did you feed me? It's so bitter."

Seeing that the Ninth Prince had woken up, Concubine Lan flew forward and said, "Mother, that was the fever-reducing medicine I gave you."

"But I don't have a fever?"

"You have a fever, and the child is talking nonsense again!" Lan Fei tried her best to cover up.

The Imperial Concubine signaled the Imperial Physician to take the patient's pulse and make a diagnosis.

The imperial physician came forward, felt the Ninth Prince's pulse, and touched his forehead and body. He said to the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine, "The Ninth Prince's pulse is normal, his fever has subsided, he is just a little weak, but he is fine now."

The emperor felt relieved when he saw this.

At this time, the Imperial Concubine asked, "What was that thing that just ran away from the Ninth Prince? It looked so scary."

"It's nothing, just a kitten." Lan Fei said.

"Oh? Why doesn't it look like that? I think he went to your room. Don't let it be some unclean thing that comes back to bother you." The Imperial Concubine seemed a little worried.

"I have thick skin and a strong body, how can you be so entangled? It will be good when the Ninth Prince wakes up. My poor child! He hasn't eaten yet. Go and bring food to the Ninth Prince. I want to feed him myself!" Concubine Lan said hurriedly and changed the subject.

When the Imperial Noble Consort heard this, she realized that no one cared, so she didn't say anything more.

The emperor also had doubts, but seeing that the Ninth Prince had woken up, Concubine Lan did not pursue the matter and decided to quit while she was ahead.

Seeing that the Ninth Prince was fine, the food was served. The Emperor and the Imperial Concubine stood up and were about to go back.

The Taoist priest saw that things were not going well and wanted to take advantage of the crowd to escape.

Bai Xinyin signaled the young eunuch to stop the Taoist priest. Although the young eunuch was young, he was very strong. He dragged the Taoist priest right under the emperor's nose to make his presence felt.

Just as the emperor and the imperial concubine were about to leave, they heard the "ding ding dang dang" sound of copper bells coming from the courtyard. The sound was crisp and pleasant, making people feel soothed and calmed.
