Chapter 1760 Surrounded
The emperor wanted to leave, but Yin Changxing disagreed.
"It's too late to go out now."
"What?" The Emperor's expression changed drastically upon hearing Yin Changxing's words.
Looking at the red mist filling the sky, and then at the darkening sky above the ancestral temple, Yin Changxing calmly said, "The ancestral temple should be surrounded."
The emperor shuddered and looked up at the sky as well, and even he could tell that something was wrong with the weather.
The sky should have been getting brighter by now, but it was dark and gloomy, as if it were about to rain.
When they left the palace, the sky was still clear, with normal light on the horizon. The sun should have broken through the clouds soon, and today should have been a bright and sunny autumn day.
The weather looks really off right now.
"Who has surrounded us?" the Emperor couldn't help but ask. He added, "I brought the Imperial Guards with me. They are my Imperial Guards guarding outside the Ancestral Temple!"
If someone really came to surround the ancestral temple, there should have been some commotion outside by now, right? The Imperial Guards would have been fighting them long ago, wouldn't they?
Yin Changxing said, "When did I ever say I was a human being?"
"You, you, you," the emperor's voice trembled slightly, "what do you mean by that?"
"It means exactly what it says." Yin Changxing looked at Weng Songzhi. "Junior Brother, why don't you go check the main gate?"
"Yes."
Upon hearing his words, Weng Songzhi immediately headed towards the ancestral temple gate.
"Yun Ting".
“I’m here.” Yin Yunting stepped forward.
Yin Changxing said, "You should guard the western position."
I'm afraid that some kind of portal might be opened there, and some evil spirits might emerge from that direction.
These things usually sneak in from the due west direction, which is considered yin, and they are not suitable for other directions.
But Yin Yunting is the judge of the underworld, and if he guards the due west, he can handle any ghost gates that are opened there.
Yin Yunting nodded. "Yes, Father."
After replying, Yin Yunting looked at Lu Zhaoling and said, "Senior Sister, you must behave yourself. After all, even Uncle left such instructions back then. If Master doesn't let you do anything later, just stand there obediently, understand?"
After speaking, he looked at Zhou Shiyue. Before he could speak, Zhou Shiyue nodded, grasped Lu Zhaoling's hand tightly, and said to Yin Yunting, "Junior Brother Yin, don't worry, I will keep an eye on her."
Zhou Shiyue had already made up his mind. He would not easily let go of Lu Zhaoling. No matter what happened at the ancestral temple today, others would take care of it. It was not Lu Xiaoer's turn to step forward.
If she really wanted to take action, she could just draw talismans from the rear to help replenish the supplies. Just as he was thinking this, Yin Yunting also said to Lu Zhaoling, "If Senior Sister really wants to take action, just throw talismans at her in droves, but don't go out."
Seeing how serious they were and how closely they were watching her, Lu Zhaoling could only nod and say, "I know, I know, I'll be obedient."
Yin Yunting then walked towards the due west of the ancestral temple.
The Emperor Emeritus looked at Yin Changxing with a questioning gaze, “Sect Leader Yin, this is the ancestral temple, the home of my Great Zhou. Since those people are all here for the Great Zhou royal family, I should also do my part.”
After saying that, he took out a whip. Now he also had a magical weapon. He had practiced with this whip for a long time, and now it was quite powerful.
Yin Changxing nodded and said, "I never intended for you to stand idly by."
He pointed to the location of the roof above the side hall of the ancestral temple.
The retired emperor understood his meaning and flew up to the roof in a flash, standing there with his whip in hand.
Looking out, he saw that the entire ancestral temple seemed to be shrouded in a gray mist with a hint of red. He couldn't see the scenery in the distance.
The retired emperor was startled, and only then did he understand what Yin Changxing meant when he said that the ancestral temple was surrounded.
When Yin Changxing spoke to the Emperor Emeritus, everyone else was stunned, because none of them had seen the Emperor Emeritus and did not know who Yin Changxing was speaking to.
Zhou Shiyue didn't intend to explain for them, and the Emperor felt very uneasy. However, he glanced at the Crown Prince and found that even the Crown Prince was still very calm, so he tried to calm himself down as well, so as not to lose the aura of a monarch.
He secretly made up a reason for Yin Changxing's behavior just now, thinking that Yin Changxing and his fellow Xuanmen people might have some capable people around them who had learned some kind of invisibility technique. He guessed that there were other disciples or people protecting them around them just now.
He never expected that it was his father, the emperor, who had been appearing to him in his dreams.
At this moment, Sizhen and Jiechi also stepped forward, both of them put their hands together and said to Yin Changxing, "Amitabha."
When the emperor saw the two young monks approaching, he was somewhat surprised and couldn't help but ask, "What do you want to do?"
In his view, the two young monks just spent their time chanting scriptures, striking the wooden fish, and cleaning in the ancestral temple.
Yin Changxing gently patted Jiechi's head and said to him, "Little Master, you and your senior brother stand in that position."
He pointed to a spot in the southwest of the ancestral temple, where a tree was planted. At that moment, the branches were swaying slightly, but they did not feel any wind.
In other places, he would be a little scared to abstain from food, but this was his ancestral temple where he had always lived, so he didn't feel so panicked.
Moreover, with so many people here, Benefactor Yin, it's unlikely anything will happen to them. So Jiechi followed Sizhen to the tree.
As soon as the two reached the tree, Jie Chi felt a chill run down his back, as if something had dripped onto it. He almost screamed.
"Junior brother?" Sizhen didn't seem to notice anything and called out to him in a low voice.
Jie Chi froze, instinctively glancing at Lu Zhaoling.
Sure enough, he met Lu Zhaoling's gaze.
Lu Zhaoling waved her hand at him and said, "Little Master, don't be afraid. There's nothing here. Just stand still."
Lu Zhaoling had just seen a few drops of ghostly blood mist condense into water and drip onto Jie Chi's back. However, those ghostly water droplets would soon be evaporated by the spiritual energy on Jie Chi's body and would not harm him. After all, Jie Chi had spiritual energy on his body that could ward off such things.
He was initially afraid to quit eating, but he calmed down after hearing Lu Zhaoling's words.
He clasped his hands together and closed his eyes.
As long as he doesn't open his eyes and stays still, nothing will happen.
Isn't this easier than when Benefactor Lu just tossed him out in a flash?
The Emperor and Empress were dumbfounded by their actions.
What are you doing?
The Crown Prince reached out and gently took the Empress's hand. "Mother, please go into the palace first."
