Chapter 367 The cat catches the mouse
After a while, a middle-aged Taoist priest dressed in dark blue clothes was brought in.
His face was thin and his eye sockets were sunken. He stepped forward and bowed to Emperor Jingyang.
"Your Highness, I am the Taoist priest Yuqing from Baiyun Temple. Today, I was ordered to go down the mountain to teach the disciples. When I passed by the palace, I unexpectedly found a black fog condensed above the palace, which was full of evil spirit."
"I calculated that there might be a thousand-year-old monster hidden in the palace, so I asked for your permission to come and capture it."
Taoist Master Yuqing knew that Emperor Jingyang always trusted the Sect Leader, and was afraid that the other party would not believe him, so he added another sentence.
"The head of Baiyun Temple is my uncle. It was he who asked me to go down the mountain to preach today."
As he spoke, he also took out a jade token that could prove his identity.
After reading it, Emperor Jingyang believed it a little, but he still had doubts in his heart.
"How can you prove that there is a monster hidden in the palace?"
Although he is the Son of Heaven and is protected by dragon energy, he has done a lot of bad things over the years. It would be a lie to say that he is not afraid.
Therefore, when encountering such things, Emperor Jingyang is always careful and cautious.
Luo Qingge couldn't help but roll her eyes, "Father, how can you believe what this old Taoist says? There is no such thing as a thousand-year-old monster in this world. I think he is here to cheat people out of their money. I will have him kicked out right away!"
Taoist Master Yuqing was not at all panicked. He pointed at the flock of crows in the sky.
"Whether Princess believes it or not, it cannot change the fact that there is a demon hidden in the palace. These crows were attracted by the scent of the thousand-year-old fox demon."
"When I cast a spell to disperse them, Princess will understand!"
After Taoist Master Yuqing finished speaking, he took out a yellow talisman from the cloth bag he was carrying and threw it into the sky.
He was muttering some incantation that no one could understand, and the yellow talisman suddenly caught fire.
"Manimani hong, broken!"
A magical scene happened!
As soon as he shouted "break", the yellow talisman burned to ashes, and the crows in the sky scattered, allowing the blocked sunlight to shine in again.
After blocking out the sun and the sky, Emperor Jingyang saw the light again. At this time, he believed in Taoist Master Yuqing's words without a doubt.
He asked hurriedly: "Master, do you know where the monster is?"
"Your Majesty, please be patient and wait for me to investigate."
Taoist Master Yuqing took out a compass from his arms. After the compass rotated a few times on its own, the needle suddenly pointed in a direction.
It was pointing to none other than Ji Yuntang's location.
Luo Qianxue exclaimed, covering her mouth and said, "Princess Ye is actually a thousand-year-old fox demon. No wonder she is so obsessed with my third brother."
Her tone could not conceal her excitement, and her expression was full of gloating.
Ji Yuntang smiled at her grimly, revealing a row of small white teeth.
"Tenth sister, if I were a thousand-year-old fox demon, the first thing I would consider is eating you!"
Luo Qianxue: "..."
Luo Qianxue: "!!!"
She stumbled and took a few steps back, shocked and angry when she realized she had been frightened.
"Did you hear that? She admitted that she is a thousand-year-old fox demon!"
Luo Qianxue turned her head to look at Taoist Yuqing, pointed at Ji Yuntang and said: "Taoist, you should take her in!"
Ji Yuntang crossed his arms across his chest and hooked his finger at Taoist Yuqing.
"You old man, just show us what you have!"
Before coming to the palace, Ji Yuntang guessed that today's banquet would not go smoothly.
There are always villains who want to harm her.
Now even the cheating Taoist priests dare to target her!
And he found such a low-brow excuse, a thousand-year-old fox demon.
Haha, can’t Taoist Master Yuqing see that his soul does not belong to this world?
Since he can't see it, it means that his skills are not very good. There is naturally nothing to be afraid of such a liar Ji Yuntang.
Taoist Master Yuqing became angry instantly when he saw her being so arrogant!
"How dare you, a daring monster, to speak so arrogantly! I will not take you in today!"
After he said that, he took out a stack of yellow talismans from his arms, picked up one and threw it towards Ji Yuntang's face.
The yellow talisman burned again, and just as the fire was about to fall on Ji Yuntang, Xie Liuzheng appeared. He drew the sword from his waist, and in a flash, he picked up the burning talisman paper and flew away with one sword.
"If you, a stinking Taoist priest, dare to touch my sister's hair, I will chop you into pieces and feed you to the dogs!"
While Ji Yuntang was moved, he caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye that Emperor Jingyang's face darkened because of Xie Liuzheng's words.
Ji Yuntang hurriedly said loudly: "I will handle my own affairs, you don't need to interfere."
After she finished shouting, she didn't wait for Xie Liuzheng to reply, and went straight forward to snatch the yellow talisman from Taoist Yuqing's hand.
"Isn't it just a battle of wits? Who doesn't know how to do it?"
Taoist Master Yuqing: "..."
He only felt a gust of wind blowing past him, and the stack of yellow talismans in his hand was empty!
He stretched out his hand to grab the yellow talisman in Ji Yuntang's hand, "Monster, return the talisman paper to me!"
Ji Yuntang smiled slightly, "Give it back to you? Okay!"
The next second, something horrible happened!
Everyone saw Ji Yuntang pick up three yellow talismans and throw them towards Taoist Yuqing's face.
An incredible voice sounded, "How come Taoist Master Yuqing's yellow talisman started to spontaneously combust in Princess Ye's hand?"
"Look, the crows are coming back!"
"Master Yuqing's hair was actually burned bald by his own talisman paper!"
"..."
The discussions grew louder and louder, but Ji Yuntang turned a deaf ear to them.
A beautiful sneer appeared on her lips, and she followed Taoist Yuqing slowly.
Wherever Taoist Yuqing ran, Ji Yuntang threw the yellow talisman in her hand, but she always kept a distance of about three meters from him.
And every piece of talisman paper would spontaneously combust without any surprise when it floated in the air.
Luo Sinian's expression was indescribable. He looked at the Taoist priest's clothes with burnt holes, revealing the black underwear underneath, and shook his head slightly.
"The Third Emperor's sister-in-law is addicted to playing cat and mouse!"
Luo Qingge said indignantly: "It's what he deserves! Who told this stinky Taoist to provoke anyone else but Third Sister-in-law? Burning him to death is a good thing for him!"
In the end, Ji Yuntang still had a yellow talisman in his hand.
Taoist Master Yuqing was covered in smoke and fire. Not only was his hair burnt off, but his clothes were also torn to tatters, with only a few pieces of cloth hanging on his body, covering his key parts.
He looked as miserable as possible, and there was no trace of his immortal appearance at all.
There were many women present, and Eunuch Zhang quickly asked the guards to bring a piece of clothing for Taoist Master Yuqing to wear.
Taoist Yuqing put on his clothes and immediately said, "Your Majesty, you see, this fox demon is not afraid of the talisman paper I drew, which shows how high her Taoism is."
As soon as he spoke, black smoke came out of his mouth, making Emperor Jingyang frown.
The Queen said with displeasure: "Your Majesty, don't listen to the Taoist's nonsense. Princess Ye cannot be a fox demon."
