All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

As Shen Lingxi finished speaking——

Su Xian untied the rope that bound his hands, took out a handful of talismans from the bag he carried with him, muttered something in his mouth, and threw it in the direction of the shadow.

At the same time, Mei Liu and the two concubines suddenly started to move.

They each took out a water bag from their sleeves and quickly circled around the emperor and empress, drawing strange patterns.

A bright red liquid flows out of the water bag, which looks like cinnabar mixed with water.

But when the liquid poured out of the water bag, Mu Huaijie's soul began to tremble visibly to the naked eye, causing him to float far away.

"What the hell is this! How can the evil spirit be so strong?!" Mu Huaijie screamed.

In fact, the faces of Mei Liu and the two concubines were not good-looking either, each looking paler than the other.

But even so, they still managed to hold on.

Although the movements of Su Xian and Liu Meiren were very fast, they were not as fast as the black shadow eroding the living soul.

After all, in order to protect the queen, the emperor stepped down from the throne and stood beside the queen.

No one is closer than the Emperor.

There was no one who could stop Sheng Kun from eroding his soul.

At this moment, Sheng Kun's soul, densely covered with black lines, had completely separated from the queen's body.

From Shen Lingxi's sight, dense black threads were entangled in the emperor's white soul, circle after circle.

"Ah...save me, save me quickly..."

The emperor screamed in agony.

Before he became emperor, he worked as an idle prince for more than 30 years.

There is no need to fight on the battlefield like Chu Yan, nor to endure the intrigues in the court like Emperor Xiaode.

Maybe he has never experienced the pain of having his body and soul torn apart, entangled and swallowed up until now.

The Queen's body, without the support of her soul, fell backward without any strength, and the Ming Yin Jade in her hand also fell to the ground.

And as the Ming Yin Jade fell, the emperor's soul, which had not completely separated from the body, was pulled back into the body by the power of his body.

Originally, Sheng Kun, who was entangled in the emperor's soul, should also follow this power and invade the emperor's body, completely possessing his body like he did with the queen.

But for some reason, the soul had just been pulled back halfway, and it seemed to be stuck in mid-air.

As a result, everyone in the court saw a half-body black shadow floating above the emperor's head.

The black shadow was densely covered with layers of black lines, ferocious, twisted, and terrifying.

The emperor's face showed the same expression of extreme pain as that of the black shadow.

His whole face seemed to be pulled back by something, and the corners of his eyes and mouth were hanging up.

It looked like a monster in human skin.

Sheng Kun's soul is half in the emperor's body, and half is stagnant in mid-air.

He lowered his eyes and looked down, and saw that at some point, someone had drawn a scrawled Bagua formation on the ground with cinnabar.

He was no stranger to this Bagua formation.

It was the formation that sealed his body in the back mountain of Taiyi Mountain.

No, this formation is more powerful than the formation at the back of Taiyi Mountain.

The formation in the back mountain was set up by humans and could only lock his body.

And now this formation was set up by the dead souls, and it could trap his dead souls!

And the cinnabar used to draw the array.

No, that's not cinnabar, that's human blood!

The vicious human blood!

For the first time in his life, Sheng Kun felt the feeling of being eroded by evil spirits deep in his soul.

The pain is like a burning fire, dense and endless.

"Ah..." Sheng Kun roared in pain, "Yunxi...what have you done...let me go..."

His black shadow floating in mid-air and the emperor's body twisted and made sounds at the same time.

The voice of the shadow can only be heard by Shen Lingxi and the dead souls in the underworld.

But the emperor's voice is in the earth.

Everyone present could hear it clearly.

Everyone heard the emperor roaring the name "Yun Xi".

Yun Xi...

Yunxi!

The princess of the subjugated country and the saint of the Yun Kingdom, Yun Xi, was pushed off the city wall by the violent Emperor of the Yun Kingdom six years ago and died tragically!
Everyone looked towards Shen Lingxi.

A question arose in almost everyone's mind: why did the emperor (Sheng Kun) call Shen Lingxi "Yunxi".

In full view of everyone, Shen Lingxi calmly took the water bag from Su Xian's hand, opened the bag, and poured it towards the black shadow!

"The ancient formations passed down from generation to generation by the Qing Palace on Taiyi Mountain, coupled with the blood of the evil star that is rare in a hundred years, how does it feel, Mr. Imperial Master?" Shen Lingxi greeted with a smile.

"Ah!" Sheng Kun and the emperor both roared in pain.

The water bag in Shen Lingxi's hand was exactly the same as the water bag in the hands of Liu Meiren and the two concubines.

She took advantage of Mu Huaijie's departure to offer this to Liu Meiren and the others.

As for what’s inside—

Shen Lingxi glanced at Chu Yan, whose face was still pale.

The blood in the entire three water bags was his blood.

This is why Su Xian took so long to enter the palace, and Chu Yan didn't appear in the court until this morning.

In less than a few breaths, Sheng Kun's black soul was obviously in extreme pain. He struggled hard to get rid of the shackles of the formation, but he couldn't break free at all.

As much as he suffered, so did the emperor who was entangled with him.

The pain of the soul is hundreds of times more painful than the pain of the body.

"Let go...let me go...let me go quickly...inner guard...destroy the formation..."

Sheng Kun controlled the emperor's body and ordered the inner guards.

But when the inner guards saw this formation, how could they dare to step forward.

Even if they dare to step forward, this is a magic circle set up by the dead souls. They can't see or touch it, so how can they break it?

"Shen Ji!" The emperor stretched out his hand towards Shen Ji in the distance in pain, "You said you would be loyal to me... You promised to be loyal to me... Shen Ji... help me quickly!"

This was Sheng Kun giving an order to Shen Ji in his own name.

Shen Ji looked at the huge black shadow above the emperor's head and was frightened.

However, compared with this fear, the desire for power made his heart surge and his blood boil!

He once saved the emperor's life in exchange for his supreme favor.

If he can save Sheng Kun, who has turned into an immortal, then who in the entire Zhou Dynasty will be more honorable than him in the future!

As early as Shen Ji was humiliated by Shen Lingxi, Sheng Kun used the Queen's mouth to reach a deal with him.

This is why, overnight, he was able to explain Shen Lingxi's origin clearly.

"I swear to be loyal to the emperor to the death! I will come to save the emperor right now!"

Shen Ji originally wanted to order the inner guards around him to carry him over.

But the inner guard who had just carried the spring stool had long since disappeared.

He gritted his teeth, used both hands, and crawled towards the emperor's position!
There are thousands of ways for people to end their lives.

The stupidest way to die is to seek your own death.

Everyone saw Shen Ji crawling to the emperor's side. He endured the severe pain in his knee joints, stood up, and desperately stretched out his hand towards the black shadow above the emperor's head.

What he thought was help was to drag Sheng Kun's shadow into the emperor's body.

But clinker, the moment his hand touched the black shadow——

Black lines that were tangled like tentacles swarmed into Shen Ji's skin, as if they had discovered the most delicious food.

"what……"

As a result, everyone could clearly see those black lines meandering under Shen Ji's skin and spreading all over his body.

"Ho...ho..."

Shen Ji's eyes widened in horror. Before he could even cry out for help, all the blood in his body burst out.

His exposed hair, skin, and even his clothes were blurred by blood!
The black line "tentacles" swallowed up the last drop of Shen Ji's blood, swarmed again, and returned to the emperor's head.

Sheng Kun's body, which was originally twisted in pain, seemed to be injected with new power and stretched.

The black shadow turned his stiff neck arrogantly.

The emperor was connected to his soul and turned his neck accordingly.

"You want to trap me with this little formation?" Sheng Kun said hoarsely, "You are too naive, Yun Xi."

The emperor also made the same sound.

Sheng Kun controlled the emperor's body and took a step forward stiffly.

Everyone saw the dark shadow above the emperor's head and moved forward.

This battle has great signs of breaking through the magic circle and killing all directions.

Everyone present was horrified by the scene of Shen Ji's tragic death.

Hearing the emperor's words again, for fear that he would be the next Shen Ji, everyone slumped on the ground with their arms and legs trembling, unable to even run, and huddled together with their heads in their hands.

Shen Lingxi stood in front of the emperor from beginning to end, never stepping back even an inch.

She looked up at Sheng Kun, who was above the emperor's head. Her beautiful face evoked a faint smile, "It's you who are innocent, not me."

"I couldn't kill you last time, I will never spare you this time." Sheng Kun mocked contemptuously, "It's just you?"

Shen Lingxi threw away the water bag in her hand, bent down, and picked up the Underworld Jade that fell on the ground through her sleeves.

"Do you know why this Mingyu is a treasure passed down from generation to generation by the saint?"

"It's just because this dark jade is connected with the soul of the saint. So it can recognize the real saint. And the real saint can naturally summon its jade spirit."

As she spoke, she bit her finger and dripped blood on the Ming Yin Jade.

Sheng Kun seemed to realize something, and the shadow's face showed fear for the first time.

Shen Lingxisu held the bloody Ming Yin Jade in her hand, raised it high to her head, recited a spell in an ethereal voice, and then said loudly:
"I use the blood of the saint to summon the spirit of Mingyu. Yin and Yang complement each other and merge into one."

"You are seeking death!" Sheng Kun's shadow and the emperor roared ferociously at the same time.

Everyone could see with their naked eyes the ferocious, entangled, and twisted black lines above the emperor's head, rushing towards Shen Lingxi with great force.

Just now, those black lines were like this, pouring into Shen Ji's body, causing him to explode and die.

And now, how could Shen Lingxi, such a slender and petite body, resist the powerful force of all the black lines.

Everyone present couldn't bear to look anymore and closed their eyes.

Even Chu Yan, who had known the inside story for a long time, couldn't help but move towards Shen Lingxi when he saw such a battle.

At the critical moment, Su Xian held his waist tightly and held him back, "Your Highness, calm down."

At this moment, a very bright and gentle light suddenly burst out from Shen Lingxi's palm.

The light was as bright as the bright moon, wrapping up those black threads.

At first, it looked like a silver plate filled with sewage, yet shining with light.

Gradually, those black lines rotated in one direction in the silver plate. During the rotation, they were purified, wrapped, and shrunk by the light.

"Ah..." The emperor's body let out a violent scream.

However, the screams became smaller and smaller as the "silver plate" became smaller and smaller, until they became silent.

Shen Lingxi looked at the white brilliance wrapped in black threads, like broken jade blocks, rotating and condensing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Finally, it condensed into a jade pendant covered with black cracks, lying quietly in the center of the jade ring, merged with the jade ring, and became a complete concentric jade pendant.

Shen Lingxi looked at the concentric jade pendant and felt that the picture seemed familiar.

Yes.

Back in Yunjiang, after offering sacrifices at the Holy Mountain, she once had a dream.

In the dream, the queen mother and Yun Xi said goodbye to her.

What Yun Xi holds in her hand is this jade pendant.

Black cracks and dark light surged into the jade pendant.

Everything was doomed from the beginning.

Shen Lingxi closed her palms, turned around and said to everyone: "Sheng Kun's soul has been locked into the ancient Mingyu by me. The Mingyu will completely refine him and will never harm the world again. You can rest assured."

The courtiers had a panoramic view of everything. At this moment, they saw Shen Lingxi standing in front of others unscathed. His beautiful face seemed to be soaked in the bright brilliance just now, and he was as holy as a god descending into the world.

From the bottom of their hearts, everyone felt happy to survive the disaster.

At this point, no one dares to question Shen Lingxi's ability.

And the name Yun Xi will become the most sacred mark, imprinted in their hearts.

"Save...save me..."

In the silent court, the emperor was dying and cried out for help.

Shen Lingxi looked down at him and smiled, "Now that the evil spirit has been eliminated, you can rest assured to rescue him."

After saying this, she bowed to everyone, nodded slightly to Chu Yan, and then strode out of the hall...

*
That night, Su Xian once again set up the salvation circle in the East Palace.

Mu Huaijie was the first to jump into the magic circle. He didn't even dare to say another word, and turned into dots of starlight and dissipated in the air.

"After killing so many people on behalf of Sheng Kun, he can still enter this salvation circle. It's really an advantage for him." Liu Meiren said dissatisfied.

Shen Lingxi: "The magic circle just sent him to where he should go. He killed so many people. This magic circle probably went straight to the eighteenth level of hell. He would have suffered as much as he did there... Besides, he died suddenly in Shen Yuyao. In his hands, death is added to death, and there will never be a happy ending."

Mentioning Shen Yuyao, Liu Meiren clicked her tongue and said, "I didn't expect that looking at a delicate and frail little girl, he would be so ruthless."

"If you look at Mu Huaijie's virtues, you can guess how he taught Shen Yuyao."

Shen Lingxi said calmly, "Since Mu Huaijie can attack those beggars and the Anbu who are loyal to the Mu family, there is no guarantee that he will not be so cruel to Shen Yuyao. Rabbits will bite people when they are anxious, let alone a living person. If it were me, he would have died in my hands."

"Bah, bah, bah." Liu Meiren waved the veil at her, "You are the one who wants to accumulate merit. Don't talk about beating, killing, and dying all day long. However, I am still curious, why are you so easy , do you believe Shen Yuyao?"

Shen Lingxi sighed, "The threads on that purse are almost worn away. If someone hadn't put it in their hands from time to time, it wouldn't be like that. I must have suffered a loss after getting married, and then found out about me." What I told her was right, but what Shen Ji told her was wrong. That’s why I dug out this purse to recall what I told her before."

"Many times, people are like this. Although the warnings of others are correct, most people will still choose to take a detour on their own in the end. However, it is not too late to return to the lost path and make up for it before it is too late. We are afraid that the road will end in darkness. Yes, then it will be truly doomed."

Liu Meiren was convinced.

The two concubines also nodded in agreement.

One of the concubines urged Shen Lingxi: "Little girl, you haven't told us yet, how you expelled the remnant soul from Mu Xiaolangjun's body that night, and how did you know that this Mingyu can merge into one, Can Sheng Kun be locked inside?"

Liu Meiren also looked curious, "Quick, quick, tell me."

Shen Lingxi smiled, "That night, we tried many methods, but none of them worked. I then thought that Sheng Kun is a saint, and I am also a saint. Maybe I can use my blood to remove the black thread that penetrated the Pisces Pendant. The remnant soul was drawn out, so a drop of blood was dropped on the Pisces Pendant."

At this point, she paused, "Who would have thought that when Pisces was bathed in blood, the black thread not only came out, but when it swallowed the drop of blood, it turned into a pure white thread."

"We followed the law and put the jade pendant and the white thread on Mu Huaian's skin, and added a drop of blood. The black thread in Mu Huaian's body also came out. After sucking the drop of blood, it turned into white. Wire."

"Su Xianyan said that the "Huangdi Neijing" states that 'the human soul is hidden in the blood.' Since Sheng Kun can use the corpse of Ming Yang Jade to control the jade spirit of Ming Yang Jade, then as long as he awakens the jade spirit of Ming Yu, Ming Yang can The Yang Jade, in turn, can also devour it."

"Mingyu is a combination of yang jade and yin jade. Aunt Shaohua told me before that saints in the past generations did not rely on blood, but relied on Mingyu to identify their masters. Candidates for saints need to drop their blood on Mingyu , Mingyu changes color and is the real saint."

"Although I never performed the ceremony of Mingyu's recognition as my master back then, since Sheng Kun was able to use Mingyu's power to introduce my soul into Yun Xi's body, then I should be the last Mingyu master in this world."

"Based on this, Su Xian concluded that the black line is not only the remnant soul of Sheng Kun, but also the remnant soul of Mingyang Jade. Only when the remnant soul of Mingyang Jade is awakened by my blood will it swallow Sheng Kun's remnant soul. Become the white line.”

"To confirm this idea, I brought the Pisces jade pendant back to the East Palace and touched it with the Mingyin jade. As expected, the white thread came out of the Pisces jade pendant and hung in the inner ring of the Mingyin jade, which happened to be the position of the Mingyin jade. , which once again confirmed our suspicion.”

"We divided our troops into three groups. I went into the palace to deal with the people in the palace, Chu Yan went to do the bloodletting, and Su Xian rushed back to Taiyi Mountain to read the Dharma related to Yuling, remember it in his heart, and then go into the palace to teach me . This is how we got to where we are today.”

When Liu Meiren heard this, she couldn't help but sigh.

"Then how do you know that the Queen is the one who is really possessed by Sheng Kun?" She asked again, "Even I didn't see that the Queen was possessed by him."

Shen Lingxi: "When I was in Kunning Palace, I found an ice basin placed in the sunny area of ​​the palace. After an hour, the ice cubes had only melted a little. This was almost impossible in the hot summer season. The only explanation is that the yin energy in the palace is too strong."

"The taste of the tea is also wrong. I have always had a light taste, and the Queen is a very attentive person. In the past, when I went to Kunning Palace to sit for a while, she would specially ask people to make light tea for me, but what she made that day was strong tea. In addition, she Suddenly, the embroidery frame in the palace disappeared, these details are too abnormal."

"At this point, there is actually no way to be sure that the queen has really changed her core. After all, she has been ill for several months, and it is reasonable for her temperament and preferences to change. Until she met Mu Huaian..."

At this point, she paused, "The Mu clan was lucky enough to escape the disaster. The clan members had already fled their hometown. Mu Huaijie died and Mu Tiangang became a monk. Now in the entire capital, only Mu Huaian knows the queen's secret. Xin. I asked Mu Huaian about the Queen’s birth date."

Liu Meiren raised her eyebrows, "Could it be that she was born on a yin moon, a yin day, and a yin hour?"

"That's right." Shen Lingxi nodded and said, "The queen has a distinguished status. When the embroidery envoy counted those people, he naturally would not check the queen's register. This must be why Sheng Kun chose the Mu family and let Wu The reason for your cooperation with the Mu family."

"The Empress is the last trump card Sheng Kun chooses for himself. Only those who are born under the yin moon, yin sun, and yin hour can let Sheng Kun directly reach the body without resorting to the power of the underworld jade."

At this point, all the confusions in Liu Mei's heart were answered.

She nodded with great satisfaction, "This is the most satisfying thing I've ever had in my life. My great revenge has been avenged. This time I can finally be willing to reincarnate."

The two concubines looked at her teasingly, covering their lips and laughing softly.

Shen Lingxi was curious, "What is the grudge between you and Sheng Kun that you have to watch him die?"

Liu Meiren thought of the past, her beautiful eyes were a little dazed.

"It's been so long ago that I can't remember clearly. I only remember that year, when I was sitting in the tyrant's arms, drunk and dreaming, I met the best son in the world. I liked him very much, but later he died in If I die in Sheng Kun’s hands, I will die in Sheng Kun’s hands.”

"I will hate the executioner Sheng Kun until my death. In fact, I know that I just don't want to forget that person. But now, when I leave, I can no longer remember his appearance clearly."

Having said this, she smiled, her smile bright and moving, "So, many times, when you like someone, you actually like the way you like him when you like him."

After saying this with a smile, Liu Meiren, together with the two concubines, bowed to Shen Lingxi and walked into the salvation circle.

"Little girl, if there are flowers, you must break them. Don't wait to break branches when there are no flowers. You must enjoy yourself in time!"

After saying these words with a smile, her soul turned into dots of starlight and disappeared into the night.

Only Shen Lingxi was left, looking sadly at the place where their souls disappeared, unable to recover for a long time...
