I'm not a fortune teller.

Chapter 75 The Four Spirits are in a Dead End!

"Mom, is that you?" Long Jinxuan's face turned pale.

She has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, but has never seen any sneaky things. As the eldest daughter of the Long family and the leader of a general's family, she is naturally well protected by her family. Moreover, all the people in the West District are descendants of generals, and the evil spirits accumulated over generations have protected the houses. For thousands of years, very few evil spirits dare to come and do things.

"Shut up. Why are you still talking nonsense at this hour?" Madam Yun's voice was trembling. She was also the descendant of a military family. Although she had never been to the battlefield, she had heard her father talk about the strange and bizarre evil things in the north when she was very young. But she had never heard of anything like this before her, and she had never thought that one day she would encounter such a thing in the palace!
This is even more ridiculous than the appearance of evil spirits in the West End!

Is the palace leaking air now?
Such a large number of people died three years ago and the murderer has not been found yet. Now even sneaky people can come to such a banquet?

Seeing that her friend was about to be dragged into a dark corner, Mrs. Yun was about to stop him, but Zhang Rui stopped her.

"Madam, you can't."

"But." Mrs. Yun was anxious. She had a feeling that once her friend was pulled into an invisible place, she might never be able to come back.

"Ma'am, look around."

"What's going on around me?" Madam Yun frowned. Those people around were talking and laughing, and they were all noble ladies. It would be easy for her to cause chaos if she shouted loudly, but she was saving people!

"Madam, look at their feet."

The three women were all stunned. After looking at it in confusion, they were suddenly so frightened that they broke out in a cold sweat!

Under the light, if you look carefully, you will find that at least half of the women have no shadows on their feet.
"How is this possible?" Mrs. Yun was shocked and found it even more unbelievable.

It was already a strange thing for one evil spirit to sneak into the imperial palace, but how could a group of them sneak in?
Are the four Yin gods at the palace gate just decorations?

"Mother," Long Jinxuan supported Madam Yun, whose legs were weak, and said carefully, "Don't be nervous. Let's quietly withdraw and call the guards to rescue Aunt Gong and the others."

"Guards? No." Madam Yun was so frightened that she was weak all over, but after all, she had been the mistress of the Long family for so many years, so she still had some rationality: "If warriors could deal with these evil spirits so easily, the world would have been peaceful long ago. These evil spirits are so close to these ladies, if those guards who don't know anything about it alert them, at least half of these women will die at such a close distance!"

Zhang Rui glanced at the other person and secretly praised her in his heart. After all, she was the mistress of a wealthy family. It was rare that she could still be so rational when faced with such a thing.

It's not that warriors cannot kill evil spirits, but they will easily fail when facing the methods of many evil spirits. At this time, the methods of these evil spirits are unclear, and they are mixed in with the many female relatives. If the guards are sent in rashly, it will easily provoke a massacre.

"Then let's go to the men's area!" Long Jinxuan responded quickly: "There is a Jiuqing-level sorcerer over there!"

Madam Yun's eyes lit up at first. There were many important figures in the men's area, many of whom were former Nine Ministers or heads of great sorcerer families. She thought these little sneaky things could be easily dealt with.

But then he seemed to think of something and shook his head slightly: "It doesn't matter if they are afraid."

"Mom, why do you say that?" Long Jinxuan frowned. Calling the guards didn't work, and asking for help from the group of sorcerers didn't work either?
"There are four spirits guarding outside the palace gate, prohibiting any sorcerer from casting spells. I'm afraid those sorcerers who are usually so high and mighty are no better than these women at this moment."

"How could this happen?" Long Jinxuan was obviously overwhelmed.

"You don't understand." Madam Yun shook her head. "Those sorcerers seem to be able to call the wind and rain and have magical powers, but in fact their bodies are as fragile as paper. Without the magic, their bodies are even worse than ordinary people."

"But this evil spirit has already broken in. Maybe the four spirits at the palace gate have become ineffective?"

Madam Yun hesitated when she heard this. This was indeed possible. After all, the four spirits at the palace gates were also there to prohibit evil spirits from entering the palace. Now that evil spirits were everywhere, perhaps the four legendary things at the palace gates had become ineffective as her daughter said.

"Then let's go over there first."

Zhang Rui frowned and was about to stop it when suddenly a shrill scream was heard. All the women were startled and looked towards the place where the scream came from.

what's the situation?
"What's going on here?"

"Maybe something happened over there!"

"What could possibly happen in this inner courtyard of the imperial palace?"

"Go over and take a look?"

A group of noble ladies were talking about it, and Madam Yun's face turned pale. She recognized it immediately: it was the voice of Guanglu Doctor Lord Qiu.

Even he could get into trouble, I'm afraid.——
"This"

At this time, a group of people in the men's area also discovered something. After all, those who could enter the palace were all fourth-rank officials. No matter whether they were military officers or civil officials, except for a few mortals, they were all accustomed to seeing evil spirits. How could they not notice that there were ghosts sneaking in around them for a long time?
But the situation now is more complicated than imagined.

In the inner courtyard of the imperial palace, sorcerers are forbidden to cast spells, so it is impossible for evil spirits to enter.

With so many evil spirits sneaking in at this time, many adults suspected that something had happened to the Four Spirits, but they did not dare to act rashly for fear of breaking taboos. Facts proved that their hesitation was not wrong.

Lord Qiu, who was far away, saw his daughter being dragged into the shadows, and he didn't care about the taboos and wanted to start the magic test directly, but in an instant, a terrifying pressure came. Before Lord Qiu could react, he instantly turned into a pool of blood and flesh! !

"Master Si Ling is still here." Minister Shen took a breath and said, "My fellow officers, please do not cast spells lightly, and my generals, please do not act lightly either!"

The people around also looked solemn!
Mr. Qiu was trampled to death.
Although there was nothing beside the horrific bloody flesh, even the surrounding grass was alive, they all knew how Lord Qiu died.

Although they couldn't see it, they could already feel that Lord Xuanwu was watching them. Anyone who dared to use the spell would suffer the same fate!
"Old Hong, what's going on?"

Hong Lie, who had just come from Qinglong Gate at this time, was also shocked when he saw this scene. He hurriedly protected the woman next to him and kept alert to the surroundings.

The woman was extremely beautiful. Although she was dressed very simply, her beauty could not be suppressed at all. She was none other than Princess Yunyang!
"Lord Si Ling has taken action!" Hong Lie gritted his teeth.

"Four Spirits?" Princess Yunyang frowned. "Aren't those the Yin Gods that guard the country? Why would they attack their own people?"

"One of our own?" Hong Lie shook his head. "Madam, evil spirits have never been one of our own. Back then, His Majesty the Great Ancestor only used some special means to make these four spirits work for him. Within the scope of the rules, the four spirits must naturally abide by the agreement and guard the palace. But it is only because of the rules, not because they are close to us. The so-called national guardian Yin gods are essentially no different from those man-eating evil spirits."

"Master Hong is here?" Minister Shen heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Hong Lie from a distance: "Quick, Master Hong, escort the families of these masters out of the palace immediately!"

"I'm afraid it's too late." Hong Lie frowned. "If you hadn't used the spell just now, the Four Spirit Masters would still be outside the Four Palaces. They would probably be nearby by now, and you should have sensed them!"

Minister Shen felt uneasy when he heard this: "Master Hong, what do you mean by this?"

"If anyone uses a spell in the palace, the Four Spirits will be able to break free from the palace gates and gain the ability to move. At this time, as long as the matter falls within the scope of their rules, they can do whatever they want. Now no one can leave!"

"How could this happen?" Another adult frowned and said, "Master Qiu was just anxious for a moment, but even so, he paid a price. Are those of us who didn't perform the spell also going to suffer?"

"But you all carry very scary spells!" Hong Lie said dimly, "Once the four spirits are activated, they will keep an eye on those of you who might cast spells. They will not stop until they are sure that you are not in danger."

"Then how can we be sure that we are not in danger?" someone couldn't help but ask.

"His Majesty can control the four spirits. Once he is sure that you are not in danger, you can leave the palace."

Everyone: "."

"What about His Majesty?" The people around were not stupid and they immediately realized that something was wrong. If the emperor was not here, would they all be killed here by the four spirits?

"Logically speaking, His Majesty should have arrived long ago." Hong Lie also had a gloomy face. It was the prince's birthday and the time for the banquet had long passed. The prince had not shown up, and neither had His Majesty. Perhaps something had happened!

"Since only His Majesty can help, why don't you go and find him quickly?" Princess Yunyang also frowned.

"That's difficult." Hong Lie looked up and said, "Once the Four Spirits are activated, sorcerers are a threat, as are warriors with strong blood and essence. As long as they dare to leave the range of the Four Spirits, they will attack. We can't move now."

"What should we do?" Everyone was stunned.

Warriors and sorcerers are not allowed to move. Your Majesty is not here, and there are evil spirits everywhere. Will they be trapped to death?

"There are only two choices!" Hong Lie took a breath and said, "Either, wait for His Majesty to come and rescue us."

"General Hong, do you think this is the way to go?" Minister Shen asked coldly.

If the emperor could have appeared, he would have appeared long ago. When the four spirits appeared, the emperor should have known about it at the first time. He hasn't arrived yet, so either something happened or he did it on purpose!

"Otherwise, we can just let those who are not a threat go to see His Majesty." Hong Lie said dimly.

"Isn't it a threat to everyone?" The people around were stunned, but they immediately reacted and looked at the civil servants who were not sorcerers.

Are you kidding me?
Those mortal civil servants who had gathered together suddenly became excited. There were elusive evil spirits everywhere, and they were asked to find someone in such a huge palace?

"Master Hong!" Minister Shen gritted his teeth and said, "Master Qiu just died trying to save his daughter. The women's quarters are full of evil spirits. If we're not careful, something bad may happen to the families. Are we just going to sit there and wait for death?"

"Including Princess Yunyang who is beside you. If you can't use force, how long can you protect her?"

Hong Lie shuddered when he heard this, and turned back to look at his beautiful wife with a pale face.

I couldn't protect my daughter three years ago, so is my wife going to follow suit now?
　Oops, late again.
　　It’s my wife’s 25th birthday, her last birthday before marriage. Hahaha, I have to accompany her. This is the only chapter I have today.

　　It's said that the book should be updated quickly after it's been released, but I've been so busy with my work lately that I really don't have time to save any drafts.

　　Starting tomorrow I will have some time to write with peace of mind. Magic Cube's wedding is on the 21st of this month. During these ten days I have to save up the manuscripts for when I will be the groom. Time is very tight, so I will have to wait until after the New Year to update the chapters. I'm really sorry.

　　The update will be on time at 7 o'clock tomorrow. Thank you all for your support. Thank you!
