The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

Chapter 1901 The Power of Aoki

In that instant, Aoki knew he had made the right bet.

In that instant, he also found redemption.

Because if something were to happen to the prince and princess, he might start to doubt himself again and fall into deep self-blame and guilt.

"Your Highness and Princess Consort are alright!" Qingyu said to Qingmu with great excitement.

Only then did they notice Aoki's pale face and the beads of sweat on his forehead.

Despite the freezing cold here, Aoki was still sweating profusely.

Qingyu paused for a moment, and Qingmu looked up at him. "It's nothing."

He had recovered and quickly asked again towards the ravine, "Your Highness, what do you need me to do?"

"Go and keep an eye on Meng Si, and find a rope to pull us up later."

Lu Zhaoling's voice came from below, sounding deep and echoing, indicating that the ravine must be very deep.

Perhaps it's inconvenient for the princess to open the gates of hell down there?

"Yes!"

Qingyu quickly reached out and helped Qingmu up.

"You go and watch over Meng Si, I'll go find a rope," he said. He also wanted Qingmu to rest, and since Qingmu had been with the princess for a longer time, he might know better how to handle any problems Meng Si might encounter.

"There's a bundle of rope in the car, but it might not be long enough. Go find some more vines to extend it," Aoki said.

"know."

They quickly split up to handle their tasks.

After falling into the ravine, the bone-chilling cold made Lu Zhaoling shiver.

But at that moment, the golden light emanating from Zhou Shiyue suddenly intensified, forcing back the surrounding malevolent mist.

Lu Zhaoling could normally withstand the Ghost Abyss Mist, but there must be a lot of death and corpse energy below, and the cold air was extremely strong in the deep mountain ravine, which is why she couldn't bear it for a while.

Zhou Shiyue shone with golden light. He held her in his arms, and she immediately recovered, feeling as if she were healed again.

Lu Zhaoling unleashed a wind-controlling talisman, the swirling wind catching them and slowing their descent. Combined with Zhou Shiyue's lightness skill, they landed firmly on the ground, unharmed.

However, their expressions changed drastically when they saw what was under their feet and around them.

There were many skeletons scattered around, with scattered hair on many skulls and some tattered pieces of clothing.

A cold, eerie wind blew in from who-knows-where, carrying a mixture of foul odors that made one want to vomit.

After Lu Zhaoling came down, she immediately cast several purification talismans without saying a word, which at least kept them in place.

The fact that they can stay put shows that their willpower is stronger than that of ordinary people.

The thing that emitted a black light that she had seen from up there was nowhere to be seen after she came down.

No one knows how many people died or how many bodies were dumped down there; it's not easy to find a place to step.

Looking at Lu Zhaoling, Zhou Shiyue wanted to ask her if she wanted to ride on his back.

Although Lu Zhaoling's brows were furrowed and hadn't relaxed since she got off the plane, her hands hadn't stopped moving the whole time.

"Not all the people who died here died unjustly or tragically; some of their corpses were not filled with resentment or injury."

“Hmm,” Zhou Shiyue said, “I heard that some people do good deeds. When they see someone die, especially someone who has no relatives or descendants, and can’t find a place to bury them or has money for the funeral, they will wrap them in a straw mat and bring them here.”

At least it's a burial ground.

Sending the body here avoids leaving it exposed elsewhere and prevents it from frightening others.

"Some people who can't think straight or are seriously ill and incurable may also come here to end their lives."

But whether they were victims or came here to end their own lives, they are all pitiful people.

Just as Lu Zhaoling was about to suggest burning some talismans for them to rest in peace, she saw all the malevolent energy in the sky rushing back to one place, as if it were being absorbed.

This is why Aoki and Aoyu saw the evil mist recede from above.

"It must be that thing."

Lu Zhaoling immediately pulled Zhou Shiyue in that direction.

"It belongs to Yama, I've seen it before."

Zhou Shiyue held her hand tightly and followed her in that direction. Once they were out of the area, the ground was at least a little cleaner.

That area was exactly where the body fell from the top of the slope, so the remains are all there.

The ground here is now covered with dense, unidentified grass. Perhaps because it has never seen sunlight for many years, this grass looks rather strange; in any case, it is something they have never seen before.

There were many ants in the grass, and they looked poisonous. After Lu Zhaoling cast a few talismans, the poisonous ants dared not approach her.

In the misty haze, Zhou Shiyue's golden aura resembled a sun.

Lu Zhaoling glanced at him every now and then.

"Is it so beautiful?"

Zhou Shiyue noticed it.

"You can't see it yourself, can you? You're all golden right now," Lu Zhaoling asked.

Zhou Shiyue looked down at himself. "I can't see."

Lu Zhaoling clicked her tongue in amazement.

"But if I were always radiating gold in your eyes, wouldn't you feel uncomfortable looking at me?" Zhou Shiyue was quite curious about this question. "Wouldn't it affect your appreciation of my handsome face?"

puff.

Lu Zhaoling shook her head, "No, no, it's a soft light, not that kind of dazzling golden light. Moreover, it emanates from your whole body, not covering your entire body, and it doesn't block your face."

"Does this make me seem like a god descended from heaven?"

"Why don't you say that you're full of Buddhist light? Why don't you doubt that you were once a highly enlightened monk?" Lu Zhaoling asked.

"Impossible," Zhou Shiyue said without hesitation. "I would never become a monk."

"How could it be impossible? You have performed such great deeds..."

Isn't it simply that monks are compassionate, dedicate themselves to the sake of all living beings, or do things that are righteous and selfless...?

"I am a lecherous man."

The four words "Zhou Shiyue" were enough to shut Lu Zhaoling up.

As they spoke, they finally arrived at the spot where the evil mist was being inhaled.

"That cliff face just now..."

Zhou Shiyue looked up and glanced at it.

Lu Zhaoling said, "The Five Thunder Token is so powerful that even if he doesn't die, he'll lose most of his cultivation. If he dares to come down and attack again, we'll fight him again!"

"This is his old base after all, so we should be careful."

What he just witnessed almost made his heart leap out of his chest; he was still shaken.

"Let's go up there as soon as possible. If we wait until he catches his breath, he might be really difficult to deal with."

Lu Zhaoling nodded as well. That ghost cultivator was too powerful, and she knew that the heavenly lightning just now might not have been enough to destroy him.

The main reason is that they still need to rush back to the capital.

At this moment, Lu Zhaoling and Zhou Shiyue were unaware that Aoki had just eliminated this major hidden danger.

The fog has mostly cleared by now.

They finally saw the black jade ring placed on a stalagmite.

The ring looked quite large, with a wide face, entirely black, and subtly shimmering with light.
