"Congratulations to the host for completing the side mission. The reward is 'Night of a Hundred Ghosts'.”
"Check the night of a hundred ghosts."
Before Li Yuanjing could finish his sentence, he suddenly felt a black aura enveloping the bright hall.
"Keke"
Then, the terrifying laughter of a child sounded in his ears, making his hair stand on end.
Countless ghosts crawled out of the void and fled in all directions.
It was as if Pandora's box had been opened and swept in all directions.
Three larger ghosts finally prostrated at his feet.
One looked like a bull's head, one looked like a horse's face, and one looked like a human.
Behind every great ghost was an orderly group of ghost generals. Clearly, these three were existences at the level of ghost kings.
"Open the door!"
Li Yuanjing wanted to test if these ghosts would listen to him.
Swoosh!
The ghost general brought the little ghost and rushed towards the palace door like a tide. The palace door could be pushed open from the outside, but it could not be pushed open from the inside.
Therefore, with a bang, the door of the hall was knocked open by the ghost general and collapsed with a loud bang, scaring the people outside into rushing in.
"Your Highness, what exactly happened?"
The guard looked at the collapsed palace door in confusion. There was only King Zhao inside. He was on the steps far away. Could it be haunted?
The guard couldn't see the little ghost, but the little ghost wrapped itself around the guard.
There was even a little ghost riding on the guard's neck, strangling him tightly.
Instantly, the guard felt his shoulders become heavy and his breathing became uneven.
"Retreat!"
Li Yuanjing shouted, and the guards immediately retreated.
Then, he ordered the three Ghost Kings,""Don't come out to scare people. Otherwise, you won't even be able to be ghosts.”
The Ghost Kings trembled because they knew that Li Yuanjing had such an ability.
Immediately, the Ghost King took control of all the little ghosts under his command and did not let them harass others.
In an instant, the little ghost who was still laughing disappeared without a trace.
The human-shaped Ghost King looked at everything in Martial Virtue Hall with a complicated expression. He also looked at Li Yuanjing.
After death, one would be reincarnated.
Those who had great resentment when they were alive were unwilling to enter the Six Paths of Reincarnation to drink the Meng Po Soup. Instead, they were willing to become lonely ghosts.
In the Imperial Palace.
"I slept for a while. Why can't I get up?”
"There's a ghost!"
"Did you hear that laughter?"
"Hurry up and ask Celestial Master Yuan to cast a spell."
The palace guards and maids were all frightened. They had discovered something unusual. It was very similar to the ghost possession that the elders had mentioned.
They didn't dare to stay in the shade and all ran to the sun.
Imperial Astronomical Supervisor.
"The Ghost Festival hasn't even arrived yet, but the Yin Qi is actually dense. This is a disaster, and everything is unfavorable.”
Yuan Tiangang was the director of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau. He was proficient in physiognomy, Feng Shui, and had some knowledge of Yin and Yang. Therefore, he felt the evil aura enter his body, as if hundreds of ghosts were appearing.
His expression eased a little as he came to the stargazing platform. He found the Emperor's bedroom in the northwest direction, where the Yin Qi was the heaviest.
"Supervisor, bad news. Something big has happened in the harem.”
A minor official of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau ran in with Li Junxian.
However, Yuan Tiangang had already changed into a black Daoist robe, wearing the Five Mountains Taoist Crown, holding a copper coin sword, and carrying an exorcism talisman. He walked out.
It was obvious that he was exorcising a ghost. Li Junxian said in admiration,"Director Yuan, you are indeed the best Feng Shui master in the Great Tang. You already know that there are demons in the harem.”
"Bring me there."
Yuan Tiangang's expression was cold, but he was panicking in his heart.
Usually, there was only one or two ghosts. Now that there were hundreds of ghosts, he was probably not a match for them.
As he entered the harem, guards wailed everywhere he passed.
Even the emperor was alarmed. Li Shiming shouted at Yuan Tiangang,""Heavenly Master Yuan, please exorcise the ghost quickly and return the palace to peace.”
That's right!
These little ghosts had run out of the Martial Virtue Hall. They did not belong to the Ghost King team, nor did they listen to Li Yuanjing's orders. They had attached themselves to hundreds of palace maids and guards.
They were truly wandering ghosts that no one could control.
Yuan Tiangang was sweating profusely. If he cast a spell now, the hundreds of little ghosts around him would probably attach themselves to him.
As long as he could exorcise the ghost, he would definitely die.
Yuan Tiangang could also feel the little ghosts around him staring at him, and they revealed terrifying smiles.
"Celestial Master Yuan, what are you still standing there for?”
Li Shi Min shouted.
Yuan Tiangang had no choice but to swing his sword and cast a spell. He chanted an incantation and took out a talisman. As expected, he was immediately possessed by demons and monsters. He instantly felt evil qi enter his body and his head became dizzy.
Just as he was about to pretend to faint and give up on exorcism.
Suddenly!
An even more powerful army of ghosts attacked. They rushed towards the little ghosts and swallowed them into their stomachs.
That's right, these were Li Yuanjing's subordinates, the three Ghost Kings and the ten Ghost Generals.
After he ordered the Ghost Kings not to come out to scare people, the three Ghost Kings immediately came out to kill those little ghosts.
In an instant.
The guards and palace maids were relieved and returned to normal.
"I can move now."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Sob, sob, sob!"
"Thank you, Heavenly Master Yuan, for saving my life."
"Is this what ghosts do? It's too scary.”
...
Li Shi Min felt relieved when he saw the people around him.
The demons and monsters on Yuan Tiangang's body were also devoured by one of the Ghost Kings. He instantly woke up, although he did not know what had happened.
"Your Majesty, this is what I should do," he said proudly.”
Li Shimin sighed. He did not invite Yuan Tiangang to the Imperial Astronomical Bureau for nothing.
A horse-faced ghost king felt that this Yuan Tiangang was too good at posturing and that it had nothing to do with him. He immediately took out the chain in his hand and strangled his neck.
Instantly, Yuan Tiangang fainted.
......
When Li Yuanjing heard that Yuan Tiangang had successfully exorcised the ghost, he smiled and did not care.
Controlling the three Ghost Kings, he had already obtained the most powerful capital to protect himself.
Previously, he was afraid of being killed when he impeached Li Shimin, but now that he had the Hundred Ghosts Parade, he was not afraid of an army.
These ghosts didn't need to be fed, didn't take up space, and wouldn't be seen by others. It was the best.
The most important thing now was to convert the ten or so granaries of wheat he had bought for more than a thousand strings into money.
Selling it at 22 copper coins per bushel?
No, no, no!
Li Yuanjing wouldn't do such a losing trade.
He was going to start building his own faction.
What was power? Power, wealth, influence, and connections.
Li Yuanjing had money because of the system, but money did not mean power, influence, or connections.
The people with the greatest influence, connections, and power were the emperor, ministers, and aristocratic families, but they looked down on him, the eight-year-old King of Zhao.
He had a rough idea of the candidates.
"Who is the richest man in the Tang Empire?" he asked the guard.”
"King Zhao, the richest man in the Great Tang is Zheng Fengchi. He has hundreds of mansions, hundreds of thousands of stones of silk, and countless assets. He has connections with the powerful and influential.”
"Are you looking for this person? The Zheng Manor is located in the Daning Square on the east side of the Imperial Palace.”
Li Yuanjing was very satisfied with this guard and immediately ordered the carriage to go to Zheng Manor.
He had to trick the richest man into following him.
