The ghost-catching princess, she always pretends to be weak

Chapter 38 Where is it?

Unexpectedly, this evil spirit was chasing after him, and while he was lighting the talisman, it flew up the wall and pressed towards him with its hands and claws!
  Not far away, a yellow light hit the hands that were trying to pinch Lu Xu, and the evil thing quickly returned to its previous position as if it had been burned.

Creaking...the mummy stiffly turned its head to look at the visitor.

Wen Jiu spun down from another palace wall, and the warm light spread out instantly dispelling the surrounding fog.

I saw a beautiful figure standing under the palace wall. Almost at the moment Lu Xu turned his eyes, she moved again.

Wen Jiu took out the talisman, stepped in front of the woman, quickly put the talisman on her forehead, and muttered something.

The person in front of him waited without fear for Wen Jiu to finish these actions, then slowly raised his hand to tear off the paper in front of his forehead.

With a look of astonishment on his face, Wen Jiu made a beautiful turn to put distance between himself and Xie Sui, and raised his hand to throw out the second talisman.

The woman reluctantly showed a weird sneer, which made Wen Jiu feel chilly in his heart.

Wen Jiu has caught countless ghosts, so naturally he has seen many corpses.

Despite having such a wealth of experience, when he suddenly saw this mummy, he still stood up on end.

The appearance of this corpse has long been unrecognizable, as if the water in the body has been drained out in an instant, the skin and flesh have shrunk and clung to the bones, the eye sockets are sunken, and there is nothing inside.

Before she could react, the woman had already used her hands and feet to climb up the palace wall like a beast and disappeared into the night.

Wen Jiu looked at the direction in which she disappeared, his eyes calm, and the ghost hunting order was hers.

Wen Jiu withdrew his gaze and ran to Lu Xu, and they both spoke at the same time.

"Are you OK."

"Why are you here?"

Lu Xu's eyes revealed disbelief.

He looked at the talisman that had just burned to ashes on the ground and seemed to have guessed something.

She said that lighting this talisman can save her life. Does she mean that lighting this talisman can summon her to her eyes?
  Wen Jiu sensed Lu Xu's call in the room. She didn't even have time to leave from the back door, and left Wen's house in a few leaps.

All the way up the eaves and walls, even the palace walls were as smooth as walking on the ground. Saving people was like putting out fires. In the past, it would take half an hour to reach the palace in circles, but Wen Jiu only took a quarter of an hour this time.
  "I am fine."

"Do you know this person?" Wen Jiu couldn't help but ask.

"I can't tell who it is, but it looks like he's wearing clothes from a few years ago."

The clothes worn by this evil creature are all outdated styles in the palace.

"Master Lu, we must find out who this person is...or is there anything unusual in the palace recently?"

Wen Jiu looked at the man in front of him with a little urgency in his eyes.

"Recently, in addition to the sixth princess's temperament changing drastically and returning to normal, Concubine Rou is seriously ill but the cause has not been diagnosed. I still need to go to the Taipei Hospital to find out why..."

Lu Xu said truthfully.

"Hmm... It seems it will take some time." Wen Jiu met Lu Xu's gaze, "I will give you some more talisman. Don't save it. If you are in danger, you must click it."

Wen Jiu took out a few more talismans from the purse at his waist and stuffed them into Lu Xu's hand, "Nothing will happen to you."

Wen Jiu couldn't tell whether it was because he was afraid that he would drag her down so he didn't want anything to happen to him, or whether he had already regarded him as a friend...

There was a somewhat unnatural look in Lu Xu's eyes, and he moved his right hand slightly to hold the knife handle hanging by his waist tighter.

"I'll take you out of the palace." He turned his face sideways and spoke in a steady voice.

Wen Jiu looked at his side face which looked more delicate and graceful under the moonlight, and couldn't help but sigh at the partiality of Empress Nuwa.

"Aren't you leaving?"

Wen Jiu suddenly came to his senses, "I... I'd better dig it out... It doesn't seem appropriate to go out."

"My carriage is right in front, no one will notice you." It was dark in the night, and Wen Jiu couldn't see clearly the smile on the corner of Lu Xu's mouth.

Just as Wen Jiu was about to get on the carriage, he suddenly paused and turned back to glance at the palace...

"My lord, wait for me a moment longer."

Before Lu Xu could speak, Wen Jiu had already climbed up the palace wall.

I saw her hands moving quickly through the air, and the yellow light flickered on her fingertips. After a moment, the yellow light that was originally gathered in a ball instantly dispersed throughout the palace...

Even though he had seen Wen Jiu cast spells many times, Lu Xu would still be shocked.

"What are you..."

"I hope to prevent evil spirits from entering each palace."

Wen Jiu got into the carriage, feeling a little confused. There was only so much he could do for the time being.

Early the next morning, Jiang Yaoxi pushed open the door and walked into Wen Jiu's room, still carrying the cold air outside.

"Senior sister, you couldn't have... stayed away all night, right?"

"You still have to ask after seeing it." Jiang Yaoxi rolled her eyes, sat down and poured herself a cup of hot tea.

"Is there any harvest?"

"Yes!" Jiang Yaoxi looked proud and took out a compass from her sleeve, "I asked my sixth junior brother to get it overnight."

"Sixth Brother's compass?"

Wen Jiu opened his mouth wide, "I heard that if you follow it, you will definitely find evil spirits..."

Jiang Yaoxi raised the treasure in her hand and said, "You have three days to return it to him after three days. Time is running out."

Wen Jiu walked to the desk and picked up the invitation from the Sixth Princess that he had just received in the morning, with a faint smile on his face, "Senior Sister, let's enter the palace."

The two of them sat in a carriage and walked through the bustling market to the entrance of the palace.

As soon as Lu Xu returned to the palace gate after completing a tour, he saw Wen's carriage approaching not far away.

When the carriage stopped for inspection, Lu Xu stood next to Wen Jiu and whispered: "It seems that there is more than one evil spirit walking around."

After Wen Jiu heard these words, his eyes moved slightly. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a rush of footsteps not far away. Lou Wu cupped his hands and called: "My lord! The emperor is looking for you."

Not long after going to court, if he suddenly came to see him at this hour, there must be something important.

Lu Xu hesitated for a while and then asked, "Do you know what's going on?"

Lou Wu glanced at Wen Jiu, put down his guard and said, "It seems that Concubine Rou was frightened and said she wanted to invite someone to take a look."

"Scared?"

"Yes, it's about what happened last night. All the palace maids and guards who accompanied Concubine Rou back to the palace saw it."

Lou Wu knew that the palace was never allowed to mention these strange powers and things that disturbed the gods, but now even the Holy One has invited Taoist priests...

When Wen Jiu heard this, he didn't dare to delay Lu Xu's errands, and said quickly: "Sir, why don't you go and see her first? I will go to see the Sixth Princess first, and then I will find a way to see Concubine Rou."

"Okay, be careful." Lu Xu warned uneasily.

When Lu Xu arrived at the Anle Hall, he could see the palace people coming in and out in panic from a distance, and the faint cry of a woman could be heard.

After entering the main hall, the Holy Emperor's bodyguard sent people to Daxing Temple to invite an eminent monk, or to the Sanqing Temple outside the city to invite a Taoist priest with high attainments.

"Tell them to enter the palace quickly! Hurry! What? Yunyou has gone! Oh these swindlers! How dare they not see people at this time! Is Yunyou still incapable? He didn't see Concubine Rou...are you scared--"
