Lin Xie couldn't help but be shocked, he really had seen a ghost! How could such a good corpse fly away on its own?
Nian Sheng said: "Eunuch Lin, according to your instructions, we have sealed the Hongyan Palace before. No one from outside can enter. The Hongyan Palace is heavily guarded inside and outside. Logically speaking, No one can steal the body of Yan Fei! What’s more, at this time, what are you doing stealing the body?”
A royal guard whispered: "Eunuch Lin, could this matter be related to the vampire bat incident last night?"
Lin Xie stared coldly at the bath room at the end of the corridor and said coldly: "Do you want to tell me that Concubine Yan turned into a ghost and flew away?"
The imperial guard said: "Of course I don't mean this, but these two things may have some connection or not! You must not disbelieve in the things about ghosts and gods!"
Lin Xie nodded and entered the bath room again to check. The bath room looked eerie and strange, with white gauze hanging lightly around. There were also a lot of blood stains left by Concubine Yan on the white jade steps of the bath. He looked around carefully, and he really didn't understand those blood-sucking things. How did the bats get into this bath room?
When Lin Xie was puzzled, he suddenly heard a noisy sound outside the door. Lin Xie pushed the door open and saw a group of guards standing outside the door. The leader saluted Lin Xie and then said: "Eunuch Lin , Your Majesty summons you!”
Lin Xie suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he could only follow them to see Lan Lin.
In the study room of Yugan Palace, Chang Si stood on one side, Lan Lin sat on a chair, protecting his forehead with one hand, and guard Yanse stood beside him.
Yanse looked at Lin Xie who walked in from the door, and saw him bowing his hands and saluting Lan Lin.
"This slave is here to meet His Majesty!"
Lan Lin did not raise his head, still protecting his forehead, looking like he had a headache, he said in a low voice: "I heard that you lost Yan Fei's body?"
Lin Xie was startled and hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me -"
Lan Lin slammed the table, raised his head and said to him: "Everyone in Hongyan Palace belongs to you, but you can even miss the corpse. It seems that Gu Zhen can't count on you for anything!"
Lin Xie felt uneasy and wanted to explain, but there was no reason to excuse him. After all, he could not solve any of the strange things that happened during this period. Not only that, the people in the palace were still in a strange world. Like contracting the plague.
Lin Xie lowered his head and said nothing, blaming himself in his heart.
Lan Lin looked at him without saying a word, and then said: "Some people in the palace died mysteriously because their blood was sucked out, then Concubine Xi unfortunately had a miscarriage, and then there were people in the palace who were sucked out of their blood and died, and finally Yan Yan The concubine died tragically... Lin Xie, you haven't found any clues about any of these things so far, how long will I have to wait? Do you want danger to befall me before you can find out these strange things? "
Lin Xie knelt on the ground and buried his head lower.
He explained: "Your Majesty, the strange things that have happened in the past few days cannot be explained by mortals. I am afraid that there is really something evil in the Zhuilan Palace. I have already gone to invite the eminent monks from Tianyan Temple to come. I think I will be able to do it tonight. Something comes to light!"
Chang Si on the side sneered, and then said: "Eunuch Lin, I didn't expect that so many strange things would happen in the palace just a few days after we went out to the shipyard. Of all the things your majesty said, you can't solve any of the cases, and you still can't. I blame it on Yaoxie, I think you are not doing your best for His Majesty!"
Chang Si saw that Lan Lin wanted to vent his anger on Lin Xie, so he added fuel to the fire!
After hearing this, Lan Lin seemed to be very dissatisfied with Lin Xie, and then said to Chang Si: "Tonight, Guhui summoned the Dharma Master of Tianyan Temple to come to slay demons. I will leave this matter to you. !”
"Yes, I will definitely do it for Your Majesty!"
Chang Si was gloating over his misfortune, feeling that he had been reused by Lan Lin, so he went to go through tonight's demon elimination ceremony.
Lan Lin picked up the tea cup on the table, took a sip, then glanced sideways at Lin Xie, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said coldly: "Get up!"
Lin Xie got up when he saw that Chang Si had left.
Lan Lin said: "Did you find anything when you went to Hongyan Palace just now?"
Lin Xie said: "Last night, a large number of vampire bats suddenly appeared in the bath room of Hongyan Palace. This morning, I found that Concubine Yan's body was missing. I thought that these two things seemed to be related!"
Lan Lin nodded and said: "Changsi assisted Changhe and urged the shipyard to build warships. Commander Changhe learned that strange things had happened in Zhuilan Palace recently and was worried, so he ordered Changsi to come back to assist in the investigation. Now now You Changsi has shared with you the matters concerning Tianyan Temple’s opening of the altar tonight, so you have time to investigate Concubine Yan’s affairs. Go down and investigate for Gu, and don’t betray Gu’s trust in you!”
Lin Xie nodded, and then said: "Yes - Your Majesty!"
Yanse watched Lin Xie turn and leave, while Lan Lin on the side looked at Lin Xie's back with a solemn expression.
Although she had been following His Majesty for a short time, she could tell that what he did tonight was definitely not simple. Lan Lin seemed to be deliberately protecting Lin Xie and keeping him from interfering in what happened tonight.
At night, the monks from Tianyan Temple were invited into the Zhuilan Palace. The altar had been set up, and Chang Si was responsible for all matters.
Queen Ye Nong came with her people. Thirty eminent monks in white clothes were already sitting on the altar. The person banging wooden fish in the middle and chanting Buddhist scriptures was the abbot of Tianyan Temple.
On the dragon chair in front, Lan Lin was dressed in a blue dragon robe and sat on it with a white fox fur. The hair on the golden crown was slightly crisp, and there was a hint of coldness on the sharp face.
Queen Ye Nong was supported by Fu An and headed towards the Phoenix Chair. Mu Cang, the chief guard who followed her, was in direct contact with the aloof king for the first time.
Mu Cang looked at the towering King Zhui Lan. His body exuded the divine light of an emperor, and his face was solemn and extremely noble. This was a person that ordinary people like them could never compare to.
But for some reason, when Mu Cang saw Lan Lin for the first time, he felt shocked in his heart. This kind of superior royal power made his heart tremble, which made him want to taste this kind of superiority.
As the monk chanting sutras became louder and louder in his ears, Mu Cang felt that the rebellious desire in his heart was getting bigger and bigger.
Suddenly, the flames burning in the furnace roared louder and louder. Everyone looked at the altar, and saw Abbot Fayuan throwing six golden lotus seeds in his hand into the fire. It was stained with blood-red demon marks.
Lan Lin frowned and asked: "Master Fayuan, have you sensed the evil spirits in Zhuilan Palace?"
Fayuan formed a seal with one hand and said to him: "Your Majesty, the poor monk has indeed sensed that there is a very strong evil thought in the palace. I'm afraid this evil will be difficult to deal with! The poor monk can only use the Heart Sutra of Subduing Demons to draw it out first. , conquer again!"
Hearing this, Ye Nong, who was sitting on the phoenix chair, couldn't help but feel uneasy. I wonder if the evil spirits they kept talking about were the evil gods they worshiped?
Fu'an on the side felt his throat tighten the more he listened to the scriptures they recited, and the more he thought about the resurrection of the evil god he saw last night, the more frightened he became.
He didn't dare to tell anyone about this, but if the monks from Tianyan Temple were to open an altar to practice Buddhism here today, he was afraid that the evil god would be attracted. When His Majesty found out that the Queen was worshiping the evil god privately, he was afraid that everyone from Tianchen Palace would be waiting. None can survive the disaster.
Ye Nong felt uneasy and Zeng Bing left first.
Lan Lin didn't pay attention to him, and just stared at the monks on the altar with all his attention.
Ye Nong returned to Tianchen Palace, and Mrs. Warring States had been waiting for a long time.
"Mrs. Warring States, why did you enter the palace now?"
Queen Ye Nong said something reprimanding.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Warring States smiled slightly, stepped forward to bow to her, and then said: "The Queen has urgently invited me into the palace, isn't it just because she is worried about the demon-killing ceremony tonight?"
Ye Nong's heart tightened and he whispered to her: "A series of strange things have suddenly happened in Zhuilan Palace in recent days. I feel very uneasy! I wonder if it has something to do with the evil god enshrined by me? What if your majesty knows that I secretly If you worship the evil god, I'm afraid something big will happen!"
Ye Nong thought that if he still had time to get rid of Lan Lin, Lan Lin would take this opportunity to get rid of him.
Mrs. Warring States comforted her: "The Queen, you can rest assured. The god you worship has far more power than the eminent monks in Tianyan Temple. If the Queen is still worried, there is a red lotus crystal cluster here in Wuying. Queen, You only need to enshrine the red lotus crystal cluster in front of the evil god to temporarily block the evil god's spiritual power. At that time, the group of monks outside will not be able to sense the existence of the evil god no matter how they chant sutras or practices."
Ye Nong took the red lotus crystal cluster and was filled with joy.
Mrs. Warring States then ordered: "Tonight's worship of the evil god can be temporarily suspended, but the queen needs to inject ten drops of her fingertip blood into the red lotus crystal cluster, so that the evil god can absorb the power of the blood through the red lotus crystal cluster, and This is in lieu of tonight’s offering!”
Queen Ye Nong nodded, and then said to Mrs. Warring States: "Thank you very much, Mrs. Warring States!"
"Then Wuying will leave first!" Mrs. Warring States' red lips curled up slightly and she looked at Queen Ye Nong with a smile.
Queen Ye Nong was also afraid that Lan Lin would be suspicious if she continued to stay in the palace, so she nodded and ordered people to send her away.
After that, Ye Nong couldn't wait to return to the secret room, enshrined the red lotus crystal cluster in front of the evil god, took out the golden needle on the side, pricked his index finger, and dropped drops of bright red blood on the red lotus crystal cluster.
Once the blood dripped into the red lotus crystal cluster, it became particularly charming, and soon the blood was absorbed by the red lotus crystal cluster.
The red lotus crystal cluster emitted a red spiritual light, and then the cyan evil god's blue eyes flashed slightly, and he slowly closed his eyes.
Ye Nong was shocked, and immediately knelt on the futon, clasped his hands together, and kowtowed to the evil god.
Here, the eminent monks of Tianyan Temple are chanting sutras and practicing Dharma, but something strange happened over there at Hongyan Palace.
Lin Xie led his men to lurk in the Hongyan Palace. Suddenly, he heard a strange laughter coming from the bath room. He hurriedly opened the door and entered, and the white curtain inside the room shook slightly.
The moonlight and starlight outside were blocked by thick curtains, leaving only wisps of darkness spreading indoors. There was an indescribable smell in the air, as if it was a thick smell of blood.
