Chapter 186 Temporary Stay
Chapter 186 Temporary Stay
Jiang Ziya's eyes were as sharp as torches. He noticed the expression of disbelief on the face of Ji Chang, the King of Xibo, and knew in his heart that Ji Chang must be worried at this moment.
He took a deep breath, took a step forward, and said in a firm but gentle tone:
"My Lord, for the sake of safety, I suggest that you release the Second Young Master first, so that Senior Brother can further investigate the truth behind the gathering of evil spirits."
Ji Chang frowned even more tightly when he heard this. He hesitated for a moment, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but was soon replaced by determination.
"What the Prime Minister said is absolutely true."
Ji Chang's voice was filled with anxiety. "I will have someone bring Ji Fa out right away."
After saying that, he turned around and urgently instructed the guards behind him:
"Go quickly, unlock the door of the Second Young Master's room and let him out."
Upon hearing this, the guards immediately took action.
He quickly walked towards the second young master's room, ready to carry out Ji Chang's order.
As the guards left, Ji Chang turned to face Huang Long Zhenren, his voice full of earnestness and anxiety:
"Master, I leave this matter to you. I hope you can find out the source of the evil spirit as soon as possible and restore peace to the Marquis' Mansion."
Huang Long Zhenren nodded slightly, his eyes were deep and calm, and he said slowly:
"Don't worry, my Lord. I will solve the current problem."
Ji Chang felt relieved when he heard this.
At this time, the guards had already opened the door of Jifa's room and brought Jifa out.
Ji Fa was brought before Ji Chang, his eyes revealing a hint of doubt and confusion.
He looked at his father's serious and slightly tired face and couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
Ji Fa knew that he had disappointed his father because of the dispute with Daji.
He originally thought that because he had a disagreement with his father over Daji, he would need to go through a long wait and struggle before being released from this confined room.
I didn't expect that he would be released now.
However, at this moment, he unexpectedly stood in front of his father.
Ji Fa did not have time to think about the reason. He immediately straightened up, bowed deeply to Ji Chang, and shouted respectfully:
"Child Jifa greets his father!"
Ji Chang looked at Ji Fa in front of him, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.
He also knew that his son had a strong character and would never compromise on what he believed to be justice and truth.
He had a disagreement with me because of Daji and even contradicted me.
Ji Chang nodded slightly, motioning Ji Fa to stand up. He said in a deep voice:
"Fa'er, do you know why your father let you out?"
Jifa looked up at his father, his eyes still full of doubt. He shook his head and answered respectfully:
"Father, the child doesn't know."
Ji Chang sighed and said slowly: "Fa'er, you argued with your father about Daji's affairs. Your father knows what you are thinking."
He paused, as if organizing his words, and continued:
"Let's not talk about Daji first. I am letting you out today because there is a gathering of evil spirits in the place where you live."
Ji Chang's voice was low and serious, as if carrying an irresistible majesty.
Ji Fa was shocked when he heard this.
He had never thought that there would be evil spirits gathering where he lived. This was a completely new concept for him.
Jifa looked up at his father, his eyes full of confusion and puzzlement.
Ji Chang saw Ji Fa's doubts and explained:
"This evil spirit is very powerful and may cause harm to you. Therefore, your father decided to let you out first and let you leave this place temporarily."
"At the same time, the Prime Minister specially invited Master Huanglong to come here to investigate the source of the evil spirit and ensure the safety of the Marquis' Mansion."
"The Immortal is a master who has attained the Dao. He will definitely be able to find out the source of this evil spirit and eradicate it completely."
Ji Fa felt relieved when he heard this. He looked up at his father with gratitude in his eyes.
He knew that his father had always been silently caring for him and thinking about him.
At this time, Zhenren Huanglong also walked forward. He looked at Jifa and a strange look flashed in his eyes.
He thought to himself that there seemed to be nothing abnormal about the second young master, but the evil spirit was gathering in the room where he lived.
There must be something fishy about this.
Upon seeing this, Huang Long Zhenren said to Ji Fa:
"Second Young Master, have you noticed anything unusual in recent days? Or have you seen any unusual people or things?"
Ji Fa pondered for a moment and shook his head: "Master, I didn't notice anything unusual. I haven't seen any unusual people or things."
After hearing this, Master Huanglong nodded slightly to show that he understood.
He knew that the hidden demonic energy was often difficult to detect, especially for ordinary people who had never been exposed to such things.
Huang Long Zhenren sighed and comforted him, "Second Master, don't worry too much. I will do my best to find out the truth."
Then, Master Huanglong turned to Ji Chang and said:
"My Lord, next I need to check Master Ji Fa's room to see if there is anything unusual."
After hearing this, Ji Chang immediately nodded in agreement.
He was well aware of Master Huanglong's abilities and believed that he would be able to find the source of the evil spirit.
So he personally brought Huanglong Zhenren to Jifa's room.
The room is decorated elegantly and warmly, and every detail reveals Jifa's taste and preferences.
However, in the eyes of Master Huanglong, these are just appearances.
He closed his eyes and began to carefully feel the atmosphere in the room.
After a while, Master Huanglong suddenly opened his eyes and scanned every corner of the room with a sharp gaze.
He seemed to be able to see through walls and obstacles and perceive all hidden secrets.
Suddenly, Master Huanglong opened his eyes, his gaze as sharp as torches, shooting straight at an inconspicuous corner of the room.
He spoke slowly, his voice low and powerful:
"There is a strong demonic aura here, and there is a faint smell. It must be the place where the demons are hiding."
After hearing this, Ji Chang's face turned stern, and he immediately asked, "Master, where is that evildoer now?"
Huang Long Zhenren took a deep breath and continued: "However, the evildoer is not here at this time. It seems that he has temporarily left the Marquis' Mansion."
Ji Fa felt relieved after hearing this, but he still did not dare to be careless. He asked:
"Immortal, will that evildoer come back again?"
Huang Long Zhenren pondered for a moment and said:
"Since the evildoer chose to hide here and has not yet heard of anyone being hurt, it must have a purpose."
His words revealed an unquestionable determination.
Huang Long Zhenren continued: "However, the evil spirit here has not dissipated, which means that the evil spirit often comes here."
"In order to prevent the evildoer from coming back and escaping again, I decided to set up a formation here."
After hearing this, Ji Chang immediately nodded in agreement:
"Your Excellency's opinion is profound. Thank you for your hard work on this matter."
Ji Fa also echoed: "Thank you for your help, Immortal. Ji Fa is grateful."
Zhenren Huanglong nodded slightly, indicating that he accepted the gratitude of the two people.
He closed his eyes, began to chant a spell silently, and drew complex runes in the air with his hands.
As he moved, the air around him began to surge, as if a mysterious force was spreading in the room.
After a moment, Master Huanglong opened his eyes and waved his hands violently. A dazzling light shot out from his hands and directly hit the corner of the room.
As the light dissipated, a complex formation pattern gradually emerged there, emitting a faint light.
"This formation is called the 'Demon Binding Formation'. It can trap evil spirits and prevent them from escaping."
Huang Long Zhenren explained, "If that evildoer comes back here again, it will trigger this formation, and I will be able to capture it then."
After hearing this, Ji Chang and Ji Fa both breathed a sigh of relief.
Huang Long Zhenren reminded again: "However, you still need to be careful."
"Evil spirits are cunning and may change their forms or hide their auras to avoid being tracked. If you find anything unusual, be sure to inform me in time."
Ji Chang and Ji Fa both nodded solemnly, indicating that they would keep it in mind.
Then, Ji Chang stepped forward, bowed, and said:
"Master, why don't you just stay in the Marquis' Mansion? Wait until the evildoer is caught, then leave."
Jiang Ziya on the side also echoed:
"Brother, what the Marquis said makes sense. You live in the Marquis' Mansion, and when the evildoer comes back again, you can capture him directly."
Jiang Ziya's words were like a shot in the arm, making Ji Chang more determined in his request.
He saluted Master Huanglong again, his eyes full of anticipation.
Master Huanglong was silent for a moment and finally nodded.
Then, he slowly spoke:
"Okay, I will stay in the Marquis' Mansion for a few days. I will leave when the evildoer is brought to justice."
As soon as these words were spoken, Ji Chang and Ji Fa both showed joy on their faces.
They knew that with the protection of Master Huanglong, the safety of the Marquis' Mansion was greatly guaranteed.
