The people from the imperial court arrived faster than expected.
Almost the next moment after Ren Bin escaped, several Liaoxu practitioners arrived at the scene.
But there was only a corpse and a broken black sword left at the scene, nothing else.
What made those court practitioners panic was that…the dead were all sucked into mummies, and from their clothes and general appearance, they could be identified…as high-ranking officials of the court.
The only dead were high-ranking officials of the imperial court, the dancing girls, the zither girls, and even the waiters and maids.
They all appeared in a corner beside the ruins, all in a state of unconsciousness.
However, after checking their meridians, they seemed to be a little frightened and their breathing was blocked, but there were no other serious problems.
This is a very bad behavior.
The highest official position is even the third grade.
I am afraid that the emperor will be furious, and those officials in charge may lose their entire families.
The entire Yuehu Park was sealed off the next moment, saying that they wanted to check all the practitioners who came to the Lantern Festival.
But in less than ten minutes, those guys in charge were scolded by the imperial envoy, and then Yuehu Park was lifted from the ban.
As for the reason…First of all, there is the impact.
There are too many foreign guests coming to this lantern festival.
If it is banned directly, it will be a big joke to the outside world.
Secondly, some of the dancers woke up and insisted that it was Wei Haowen who did it after being questioned.
It is said that Wei Haowen took out an evil sword and asked his apprentice Hua Wenyan to hold it for the dignitaries to see.
As a result, the evil spirit in the evil sword suddenly went berserk, and not only Hua Wenyan was reduced to ashes, but even Wei Haowen was possessed by the evil spirit and killed all the practitioners present.
The murderer was found so easily.
That last white light shooting up into the sky…never mind, we’ll talk about it later.
With such a big fuss, it’s hard to say which great Dharma master hidden in the mortal world is this.
If someone doesn’t want to show his face and be contaminated by the mortal world, then just don’t look for him to avoid causing trouble.
As for the panic…the court resolved it unexpectedly quickly.
Probably an announcement was released saying that Meng Jiang Tower was a projection from the very beginning (which was actually true), but it collapsed two days ago and it was not very beautiful.
The white light was caused by two powerful men accidentally fighting with swords, and it inexplicably shattered the barrier.
Practitioners actually don’t really believe in it…but ordinary people do!
Oh, that’s the noise made by the Immortal Master.
That’s okay, just continue playing music and dancing!
Therefore, in just half an hour, the Yuehu Lantern Festival returned to its original bustling state.
At this time, Moon Lake.
“Where are Daddy and Mommy?”
Shuyao sat in Mu Yinyue’s arms, already looking a little worried.
Mu Yinyue gently rubbed Shuyao’s head and hugged her tightly.
She wanted to comfort Shuyao, but she was so panicked that she couldn’t speak.
Seeing that white light rising into the sky and that sharp sword energy…could it be the work of that woman?
What kind of trouble did they get into?
She remembered how nervous Ren Bin and Yu Xian were when they left, and she became even more worried.
Even Chen Boyu, the heartless guy, kept silent and looked a little uneasy.
The old boatman was rowing at the bow, humming a little tune.
“The immortals ascend to the ninth heaven, riding on phoenixes and flying dragons.”
He was so drunk that he forgot there were two missing passengers behind him.
At this time, the one with the most natural expression was Mo Yan.
“Don’t panic, they must have been waiting in line for a long time.”
Mo Yan added a glass of wine and put it to her lips, but she didn’t take a sip.
“It’s a lantern festival after all, and there are so many people coming and going. Those shops with a little more fame must have long queues.”
“Don’t be afraid, Xiao Shuyao. Look, isn’t your sister Mo still here?”
“Well…I understand, Aunt Mo.”
Mo Yan:……?
“Do I look that old…” She muttered as she leaned against the edge of the boat, resting her elbows on it.
What she was thinking was different from what she said.
As a practitioner in the late stage of Liaoxu, she could especially feel the significance of the sword light just now.
With such terrifying power…I guess he must have run into big trouble and was forced to use this sword, right?
She let out a long sigh and poured the wine in her hand into the lake.
“Ouch…” A sob suddenly sounded, and the three women present were all stunned, then looked panicked.
“Xiao Shuyao, what’s wrong?”
“Shuyao? Are you okay?”
“What’s wrong? Talk to my sister…and aunt.”
Mo Yan knelt down and wiped the tears from Shu Yao’s eyes with her sleeve.
“No, it’s okay.”
“Shuyao, no…I don’t want to cry…” “only…..” She was scared, very scared.
She remembered that a year ago, her mother entered the cold pond and did not come out for nearly two months.
At first, her grandparents smiled and comforted her, saying that her mother was breaking through some bottleneck and would come out soon and become very powerful.
As a result, another half a month passed and my mother still didn’t come out.
Although her grandparents tried to comfort her, they had a fierce argument while she was sleeping.
She couldn’t remember the content of the quarrel, she only remembered one sentence clearly: “Why let her go? She will die in the cold pond!” die?
At that time, Shuyao didn’t understand the meaning of death.
She asked her grandparents later, but they also hesitated and refused to explain.
She saw it later when she was reading a book…death means separation between the Yin and Yang, and never see each other again.
She had never felt so scared before, and she didn’t dare to imagine never seeing her mother again.
My mother said that she would come out again to roast rabbits for me and tell me stories, so she couldn’t die.
Shuyao was unusually stubborn.
She put on her cotton-padded jacket, ran to the edge of the cold pond, and kept shouting “Mom” until her voice became hoarse and her tears dried up.
Then she fell asleep leaning against a bamboo.
The next day I woke up next to my grandparents, and then ran to the cold pond…Until that day when Yu Xian came out of the cold pond, hugged me distressedly, her body trembling…”Daddy, and mommy, right…”
The little girl is not stupid, maybe… she is at a sensitive age, always afraid of losing… “Huh? Why is Shuyao crying?”
A somewhat surprised voice sounded beside Shuyao.
Shuyao looked around and saw that Ren Bin and Yu Xian were both shocked and threw the bags in their hands on the table.
“Shuyao, what happened? Did these three sisters bully you? Whoever it is, Daddy will teach her a lesson!”
Ren Bin hugged Shuyao’s shoulders.
Yu Xian was even more simple and brutal, and a long sword suddenly appeared in her arms.
“Don’t get excited, Junior Sister Yuxian (Master’s Wife)!”
Mo Yan and Chen Boyu both shuddered and then made gestures of surrender.
“It has nothing to do with me.”
It has nothing to do with me.
“Shuyao, Shuyao is fine…” Xiao Shuyao wiped away her tears, then hugged Ren Bin, with her little face pressed tightly against his chest.
“Shuyao misses daddy and mommy.”
“Sorry.”
There was a hint of apology in Ren Bin’s eyes, and then he took out a red and white candied haws from behind him like a magic trick.
“Ding ding ding ding! Deluxe version of candied haws, hawthorn with glutinous rice and honey added in. Come, try it.”
“Master, can I have one?”
Chen Boyu asked timidly.
“…Does your master seem like the kind of stingy person?”
Ren Bin took out two more skewers and handed them to Mu Yinyue and Chen Boyu.
“Huh? Where’s mine?”
Mo Yan was smiling happily, but when she found out there was no share for her, her expression changed.
“It’s for children. How old are you? What are you eating?”
“Hey! I’m also a kid of several hundred months old, I want one too!”
“No more, how about I ask Bo Yu to give you one?”
“…Oh, it’s my turn to cry!”
In the distance, fireworks exploded with a bang, leaving behind a brief but extremely brilliant display of dazzling colors.
