"Everyone is here." Concubine De responded quickly, and Concubine Xian next to her also followed suit and said: "All the concubines of the palace are here. Except for the empress, who is pregnant with Liujia and has limited mobility, all the other concubines are present." p>
"That's how it is..." Master Mingwu nodded with understanding, and didn't say much about the fact that the Queen was not present. He turned around and asked the young monk to prepare for the ceremony.
The ceremony was held in a hurry, and the venue was chosen in an open space outside the palace in front of Ci'an Palace. A high platform was set up, and the flags raised were filled with scriptures. The monks sat around and chanted scriptures with their heads bowed.
.
In the middle were placed the Queen Mother's clothes and a strand of hair she had cut off.
Listening to the sound of chanting and smelling the rising incense made all the concubines feel calm.
Just when Master Mingwu stood up to burn the scriptures, a gust of evil wind suddenly blew up, blowing the brazier on the table and spreading the flames. It burned an inconspicuous little monk next to him. The little monk was frightened.
Strange screams.
The sharp sound didn't sound like a human cry, but more like the sound of some animal. Before everyone could react, they suddenly saw the prayer beads in the little monk's hand break and fall to the ground. The originally good-looking man suddenly showed signs of extreme pain.
look.
As if trying his best, he raised his hand and pointed in one direction, trying to say something with his long mouth, but the other hand grabbed his throat. Under the gaze of everyone, his eyes were filled with tears of blood.
Suddenly fell to the ground.
"Ah——!" Everyone was frightened by this scene and was at a loss. Even the palace concubine retreated from the venue in panic. She looked at the little monk whose eyes were bloodshot and fell with a look of horror, and her breathing followed.
It’s urgent.
"The evil spirit is ready to be captured!" Master Mingwu threw the rosary in his hand at the young monk's face. Unexpectedly, the rosary never landed on the young monk's face, but it seemed to hit something. Master Mingwu actually
He suddenly vomited blood and flew backwards.
"Not good!" Master Mingwu sat on the ground and covered his chest. He suddenly turned his head and looked in a certain direction. Although everyone saw nothing, they seemed to subconsciously feel that the evil spirit had escaped, and everyone immediately followed Mingwu.
The master looked in the direction he was looking at.
"What happened? Has the evil spirit been removed?" Libi's palms were sweating, and her face turned pale from the surprise. She obviously didn't see anything, so why did the little monk suddenly die?
Master Mingwu also vomited blood?
The banners and flags that were originally standing fell down in response to the sound, and the scriptures that were placed spontaneously ignited without fire. Everything seemed so weird.
Master Mingwu stood up and looked into the distance and said: "The evil spirit took a hit from me and escaped. Such a vicious thing must have developed spiritual consciousness here, and it is definitely not comparable to ordinary monsters..."
"The poor monk dared to ask, who lives in that palace?" Master Mingwu pointed in the distance, and without any deviation, he pointed to Chengming Palace.
"How outrageous!" Concubine Xian immediately shouted coldly: "How can evil things be raised in the dragon bed where the emperor lives?"
"Is it that the master has nothing to do and just makes excuses to excuse himself?" Concubine Xian was extremely displeased. She turned to look at Concubine De and said, "This is the eminent monk you call me!?"
"Your Majesty, forgive me." Master Mingwu recited the Buddha's name and bowed his head and said: "The Emperor is the Son of Heaven, how could he be evil, but..."
Concubine De became anxious when she heard this, and quickly stepped forward and said, "What is it? Master, please tell me quickly!"
