Quickly wear a child: a beautiful woman with many children brings happiness
Chapter 445: Repaying the Fox Demon 32
Everyone was terrified and hid behind their backs with their sleeves covering their faces.
"What's going on? Where does such a strong wind come from?"
"It's so weird. This evil wind blowing in the middle of the night makes me feel cold inside."
Xuanyuan Chengyin stood up calmly and said to the people around him: "The wind is too strong, let's work together to close the door."
He walked against the wind, and the people of Xuanyuan Chengyin's faction quickly stood up and followed, walking towards the door with difficulty. Apart from the emperor, the only people left at the banquet were Xiao Changan and those sorcerers.
Oh, there are also Taoist priests coming from Qingqi City.
Those Taoists did not forget the purpose of their visit to the capital, and they intended to get close to Xiao Changan. When they saw the chaos at the banquet, they knew their chance had come.
No one knew who started the fight first, but Xiao Changan was stabbed several times in the dark. Before anyone else noticed, he fell to the ground, holding his chest.
"Boom!" A bolt of thunder suddenly fell, making people's ears buzzing, and directly split a big hole in the roof of Changle Palace.
Everyone was horrified and fled in all directions.
However, they had just taken a few steps when more and denser thunders struck down from above, like sharp knives dropped by God, bringing endless power and destructive force, leaving people nowhere to escape.
The first to suffer were the people around Xiao Changan.
Unfortunately, the warlocks around him became the first targets to be sacrificed. Several of them were struck by lightning on the spot, and fell to the ground trembling, with expressions of astonishment and fear on their faces, and finally they could not move.
"Protect the emperor, protect the emperor!" The emperor panicked: "Jiuli, come and save me!" However, there was already chaos inside, and his voice was drowned out by the screams of the crowd, and no one could hear it.
The Taoist priest from Qingqi City ran away in panic, shouting, "It's Xiao Changan, he's dead, and he's attracted the thunder!"
What he said attracted everyone's attention.
Just then, there was another thunder. In the dazzling lightning, everyone looked in the direction of Xiao Changan in fear. Sure enough, Xiao Changan was lying in a pool of blood with several shining daggers stuck in his back.
If it were just this, everyone would just think that he was ambushed and unfortunately killed, but the strange thing was that there was dense thunder and lightning where Xiao Changan was, but it deliberately avoided his body. Even the broken tiles did not fall on him, as if there was an invisible film separating him from the surroundings.
"what happened?"
"Xiao Changan is a devil, Xiao Changan is a devil, everyone run!"
Everyone screamed and rushed towards the door, but the wind was strong and blew in from the door, making it difficult for them to move.
Jiuli stood at the door indifferently, with the sound of wind whistling in his ears. Apart from helping the prince and his supporters to get out, he didn't care about the life or death of others.
This was Xiao Changan's fault and it cannot be blamed on him.
He heard the emperor crying out: "Jiuli, Jiuli, come and save me, I'm here, I'm here!"
Everyone was busy with their own affairs and no one came to save him.
Xiao Changan slowly rose from the ground amid thunder. In the horrified eyes of everyone, he turned into a monster with a sheep's face and a human body, bathed in lightning.
Xuanyuan Chengyin stood outside the Changle Palace, swaying in the wind. Hearing the cries from inside, he wanted to rush in with a look of grief on his face: "Father, Father hasn't come out yet. I want to go back and save him."
"Your Highness, it's dangerous inside, you can't go." The Grand Tutor brought people to hold Xuanyuan Chengyin Sisi in his arms: "Your Majesty, you are blessed by heaven, and nothing will happen to you."
"Yes, yes, Xiao Changan is still inside."
When Xiao Changan was mentioned, everyone fell silent.
"What on earth is he? I was walking slowly just now, and I seemed to see a monster with a sheep's face and a human body..."
"I saw it too. Have you seen the bodies on the streets of the capital? More than 20 of them, all killed by lightning. Could it be related to today's vision?"
"It's hard to say. Since Xiao Changan came to prominence two years ago, I have never heard of any Taoist magic he knows." An official said, touching his chin.
"I find it strange too. No matter how well a person hides himself, there will always be some clues. But there was no sign that Xiao Changan knew any Taoist magic in the past ten years. It's like he suddenly became a different person and suddenly became able to do it." said another official.
"We are all well-informed people, but none of us have ever heard of the method of borrowing longevity. It's not just us. I asked before the banquet, and even the people who came from Qingqi City have never heard of the art of borrowing longevity." Another official frowned.
Everyone fell silent. After thinking for a moment, someone asked, "Could he have been possessed by a wandering ghost?"
As soon as these words were spoken, many people nodded in agreement. Only in this way could the strange phenomenon happening to Xiao Changan be reasonably explained.
On a night of thunder and lightning, Xuanyuan Chengyin tightened the bottle hidden in his sleeve where no one could see, looked in the direction of Jiuli, and a dim light flashed in his eyes.
...............
Puling Temple.
Yun Yuan waited for a long time, and finally waited for the moment when the Lingxi Stone changed color. She suddenly raised her head and her eyes were fixed on the statue.
The moment she looked up, the light of faith on the statue seemed to be pulled, turning into a thin line and floating towards the direction of the imperial palace. Then the sky became gloomy, the wind and clouds changed, and lightning and thunder flashed.
Yun Yuan looked at the statue for a while, then looked at the place where thunder was heard in the distance.
As time passed, the power of the thunder and lightning weakened, and the light of the statue became weaker and weaker, until only a faint light was left. Then the thunder and lightning disappeared, and everything returned to calm.
The sky was turning pale and a new day began.
Yun Yuan carefully observed the statue and finally came to the conclusion: If the power of faith is not replenished, the remaining faith in the statue at this time will not be enough to support Xiao Changan's rebirth again.
Yun Yuan wondered secretly, wondering if Xiao Changan had any other means of resurrection.
She thought that this was it this time and was about to leave Puling Temple to find Jiuli, but unexpectedly the light of the statue began to change again.
Yun Yuan stopped and observed again.
...............
In the palace, after the thunder and lightning subsided, Xuanyuan Chengyin took the lead and headed straight for Changle Palace.
At this time, Changle Palace had become a ruin, with broken walls and ruins everywhere. The roof was caught on fire by lightning and thick smoke was now emitting out.
Jiuli waved his sleeves and the fire on the roof was put out instantly.
"Father, Father!" Xuanyuan Chengyin stumbled among the pile of charred corpses and found the emperor's figure. Perhaps it was because of the remaining dragon spirit that he was still alive.
The emperor opened his eyes with difficulty, his lips trembling slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but could only utter weak sounds.
"Father, what are you saying?" Xuanyuan Chengyin held the emperor's hand tightly, looking anxious, as if he really wanted to hear clearly what the emperor wanted to say.
The emperor struggled to speak, repeating: "Borrow your life, borrow your life..."
The coldness in Xuanyuan Chengyin's eyes flashed away, and he shouted sadly: "No need to guard the door, the wind outside has died down. It is my fault for being unfilial and failing to protect my father."
The emperor's lips trembled, and he repeated what he had just said: "Borrow my life, borrow my life..."
"I understand, I understand." Xuanyuan Chengyin choked up and said, "Father has accepted the fate, and I will also mourn and accept the change. Father, please rest assured. After you leave, I will govern the country well and will never be a tyrant who is deceived by wine and sex."
He was cursed before he died. The emperor's last breath disappeared, his eyes were wide open, and he died with his eyes open.
Xuanyuan Chengyin closed his eyes and burst into tears. All the officials, whether they were truly sad or just pretending, also started crying.
In this sad atmosphere, a noise suddenly came from the side.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and saw Xiao Changan, who was supposed to be dead, standing there upright, staring at them with a gloomy look in his eyes.
"Ah!" Everyone was so frightened that they forgot about the emperor who had just passed away.
"What happened? How did Xiao Changan survive such dense lightning?"
"Where did the dagger in his back go? I clearly saw someone stabbed him in the back with a knife."
Everyone carefully looked around Xiao Chang'an, but found that there was no dagger on his back. The only thing that proved that everyone was not dazzled before was the holes on his clothes.
What was even more horrifying was that there wasn't even a drop of blood on Xiao Changan's body, as if it wasn't him who had just fallen in the pool of blood.
"Resurrection from the dead! Xiao Changan actually knows how to bring the dead back to life!" This was the exclamation from some people who were amazed by his magic.
Someone thought more and asked, "Did he borrow someone else's lifespan so he could be resurrected?"
More people shouted in horror: "Monster! He must be a monster!"
Xiao Changan had never expected that the fact that he could come back to life would be exposed in public. He figured everything out and thought that someone must have tampered with him when he transferred the prince's life span, and accidentally transferred his own life span to the emperor.
Otherwise it would be impossible to explain why Xuanyuan Chengyin was fine, but his own life came to an end without any warning.
He remembered that the fortune book said he would live a long life, so it was impossible for him to die yesterday.
Being treated like a monster by everyone, Xiao Changan's face was gloomy. Whenever he moved, everyone retreated like frightened birds, as if he was some kind of monster.
Not all the people from Qingqi City died. So many people died in the palace. Xuanyuan Chengyin needed a few eyewitnesses to testify in order to clear himself of suspicion, so he specially asked Jiuli to rescue a few people.
At this moment, they were staring at the corpses that had been struck by lightning and turned pitch black, making it difficult to recognize their true faces, and their hearts were filled with anger and hatred.
"Xiao Changan, we will tell the Qingqi City Lord's family the truth about what happened last night." One of the men gritted his teeth and said, "We will never give up on this murderous feud. We, the Wang family, will never coexist with you."
"And our Gu family and Shi family." said the other two men standing with Taoist Wang.
Jiuli looked at their reactions and knew that Xiao Changan would have a hard time in the future.
Whether out of a determination for revenge or to find a legitimate excuse to arrest Xiao Chang'an, these people will definitely publicize the strange phenomena displayed by Xiao Chang'an after leaving the palace.
As a result, more and more people know about Xiao Chang'an's abilities, and believe that eating Xiao Chang'an's flesh can make them immortal, and more and more people will want to catch him.
This is also what Xuanyuan Chengyin wants to see.
He had not originally intended to kill Xiao Changan, but Xiao Changan had already plotted against him, so Xuanyuan Chengyin had to fight back.
Jiuli and Yun Yuan have the same goal, which is to kill Xiao Changan. Especially after he knew that Xiao Changan once coveted Yun Yuan, this idea reached its peak.
At this moment, he was standing in the crowd, his white clothes were whiter than snow, his narrow fox eyes had a faint smile, and he looked at Xiao Changan as if he was looking at a clown.
Xiao Changan was irritated, as it reminded him of bad memories from his previous life. After he was rejected by Yun Yuan, he knew that she liked Jiuli, so he went to threaten Jiuli.
That was how Jiuli looked at him at that time, with contempt and disdain, as if he was something not worthy of being on the stage.
At this time, someone whispered and compared him with Jiuli: "Xiao Changan is a monster, not worthy of being the national teacher, he is not even a bit better than Jiuli."
The rage in his heart was completely ignited, and he shouted: "You have all been deceived. Do you think the national teacher you believe in is a good person? He is not even a human being, but a thousand-year-old fox demon."
The whole scene became quiet in an instant.
Everyone looked at Xiao Changan suspiciously, and then at Jiuli.
Jiuli's expression was indifferent, and his eyes were clear and calm, as if he was not the one Xiao Changan called a fox demon.
A dark light flashed in Xuanyuan Chengyin's eyes, and soon disappeared without a trace.
He looked at Xiao Changan fiercely: "Jiuli has worked hard for Xuanyuan Country, how can you, a person of unknown origin, question it? It's a pity that you were the top scholar before, and you lie so easily."
Everyone agreed.
"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Xiao Changan, you monster, we don't believe a word you say."
Because Jiuli's image is too perfect, no one believes that he would be a monster.
Xiao Changan sneered repeatedly: "You are really pathetic. You have been deceived for so long and still know nothing. Instead, you help the people who deceived you to attack the people who told the truth."
He questioned: "Jiuli, with so many people here today, do you have the courage to admit that you are a demon?"
Jiuli's expression remained calm and indifferent, and he said slowly: "So what if it is, so what if it isn't?"
"So what?" Xiao Changan said ruthlessly, "Anyone can kill a monster. You are so powerful, your monster pill must be a treasure. I wonder if the Taoist priests from Qingqi City are interested in it?"
Taoist Priest Wang, Taoist Priest Gu and Taoist Priest Shi looked at each other suspiciously, and then they all laughed.
Xiao Changan frowned.
"Xiao Changan, do you think we are stupid enough to be used as your pawn?" Taoist Wang said, "So far, no demon has been able to evade our compass. Jiuli has no demonic energy, and our compass has no reaction. How could he be a demon?"
Taoist Priest Gu nodded: "We have seen Jiuli take action. His magic power does not carry any aura of monsters. He must be a human without a doubt."
Taoist Shi also looked at Xiao Changan with disdain: "Our enemy is you, don't try to provoke us to oppose Jiuli."
