Chapter 187 9 Dragons
Lu Xuan had already placed the fire starter where the lady was making tea.
The subtle sound sparked in her ears, causing her to raise her head instantly.
With a loud "boom", nine streams of water shot up into the sky in an instant. The two-person-high stone statue of nine dragons playing in the water suddenly cracked open a huge crack, and finally with a loud "bang", it fell to the ground and broke into countless pieces.
The stone bead rolled down and landed right at Lu Xuan's feet.
Lu Xuan squatted down and took a look. He saw that there were talismans of the Taoist formation engraved on the stone ball.
No wonder the power is so strong.
The stone ball was blown apart, and a piece of the ball and the talisman were missing, so the talisman lost its effectiveness and she was too lazy to destroy it.
She stood up, and at that moment, a dazzling white light flashed by.
Lu Xuan looked up in surprise, only to discover that the Yang energy gathered in Kunning Palace and the harem was rapidly fading away, and was being replaced by naturally Yin energy with a slightly purple hue, which was slowly converging and constantly harmonizing the Yin and Yang balance of Kunning Palace.
The barrier she set up was emitting ripples of golden light and becoming more stable due to the blessing of the balanced yin and yang forces.
At this moment, Lu Xuan withdrew her gaze, and when she raised her eyes, she clearly saw that the noble lady beside her was trembling.
In the inner courtyard of Kunning Palace, a solemn atmosphere made people feel breathless.
Queen Ji stood in front of the dilapidated Nine Dragons Water Fountain, her face ashen.
The air was dead silent, not even the air was moving.
This fountain has been built since the founding of the dynasty. It has been passed down from generation to generation as the place where Ziwei Qi gathers and Yin and Yang are coordinated, symbolizing the stability and prosperity of imperial power.
But at this moment, she slapped it lightly and it broke into pieces!
Immediately afterwards, the nine water columns that shot up into the sky seemed to sense something and gradually died down. They dropped from a height of ten feet to half a foot, and then to one foot, becoming weaker and weaker. Finally, they turned into gurgling streams and flowed out from the ground.
Queen Ji suddenly became flustered.
This is not a good sign.
Her right eyelid was twitching non-stop and her heart was suddenly beating fast.
"Snapped!"
A violent slapping sounded.
Empress Ji was so furious that she couldn't help but raise her hand and slap the eunuch in front of her hard.
Her eyes were bloodshot, as if burning with fire. "This Nine Dragons Playing Fountain is a treasure of the Imperial Palace, it is imbued with dragon energy, and you dare to blow it up!"
The young eunuchs were terrified and kowtowed profusely, their foreheads stained with blood and dust, their voices thick with tears. "Queen, spare us! We know we were wrong. Please have mercy!"
Empress Ji's voice was as piercing as an ice cone, echoing in every corner of Kunning Palace. "Give me mercy? Do you know that this fountain is related to the fortune of the royal family? You are digging your own graves!"
If they hadn't neglected their duties and set off fireworks to blow it up, how could the fountain have shattered so easily?!
Don’t let anyone notice that she shattered him!
In the remains of the fountain, the water has not dried up and the fragments of the stone dragon are scattered everywhere. The spectacular sight of nine dragons flying in the clouds is now only a ruin.
The four young eunuchs knelt on the ground, their bodies shaking like sieves, filled with fear and despair.
A fierce glint flashed in Empress Ji's eyes. "Just now, I wanted to spare your lives. Now, even if a great immortal came, he couldn't save you!"
"Come here!" the Queen shouted sternly, "Drag these four traitors away and execute them immediately!"
The palace maids and eunuchs around were silent as a mouse, and no one dared to make a sound at this time.
Immediately, several guards came forward and dragged the four young eunuchs out.
No matter how they cried and begged for mercy, the queen stood firm, her whole body like a cold, sharp knife.
Four young eunuchs were dragged out of Kunning Palace.
The crying and shouting gradually faded away and finally disappeared in the wind.
The queen stood there, looking at the wreckage of the Nine Dragons Playing Fountain, a complex look flashing in her eyes.
Seeing that Empress Ji was furious and no longer trying to hide her appearance, Lu Xuan finished his task, let out a breath, and then hurried towards the small room in the back hall where he had originally been.
The Kunning Palace was only one of the formations set up by that person. The Taihe Gate, Baohe Hall, Kunning Palace, Qin'an Hall, Yuhua Pavilion and Fengxian Hall together formed the Qiankun Five Qi Formation that changed the destiny of the Forbidden Palace.
This formation uses the five core buildings in the palace that guard the Hall of Supreme Harmony and gather yang energy as the center of the formation. Each place is in line with the principles of the five directions of heaven and earth, and gathers the yang energy between heaven and earth.
That was why Lu Xuan remembered that in his previous life, there were so many wandering ghosts in the mass graves outside Beijing.
At that time, the entire capital's yang energy continuously flowed into the palace, and the demons that should have been suppressed were able to grow unchecked, and gradually chaos arose. Over the next decade or so, malaria and other diseases became common among the people.
But now, Lu Xuan can’t care so much!
She herself is trapped in a dangerous situation. Let's talk about the future and the affairs of the world later!
Outside the bedroom in the rear hall of Kunning Palace, Ji Qingyan kept knocking on the door.
"Princess, Princess? Are you feeling better?"
There was silence.
Ji Qingyan put her ear to the door and listened, but there was no other sound except the creaking of the bed.
Ji Qingyan was delighted and asked hurriedly, "Are you feeling better? Can I bring you some hangover soup?"
She waited for a while, but still no sound.
The queen had come with her to catch the adulterer, but when she heard the explosion over there, she hurried over.
Therefore, at this moment, she can only enjoy this anticipated moment by herself.
It's ultimately less interesting without someone to share with.
But as long as Lu Xuan can be killed, one person will do, since there are so many palace servants watching over him anyway.
There are already a lot of people at the flower viewing banquet today, so the worst that can happen is that there will be some noise later!
When Lu Xuan goes to the eighteen levels of hell, he will be able to completely relieve the hatred in his heart!
"Princess, if you don't say anything, I'm coming in!"
Ji Qingyan was excited and opened the door happily as she spoke.
Her and the Queen's plan today was to first put Pei Fan, whom she had carefully set up and drugged, in, and then lure Lu Xuan into this bedroom.
Then kill two birds with one stone and get rid of the two thorns in your eyes at the same time!
Anyway, Pei Fan is the emperor's man and has caused them a lot of trouble in the past. He even came to the flower viewing banquet today to use it as an excuse to place guards. Isn't his main purpose to monitor her and ruin her plans?
As she walked inside, a familiar scent came into her nose.
There was incense burning in the room. It was not a love incense, but it was more powerful than a love incense.
It is usually used after an incident and can cause confusion and hallucinations.
Thinking that Lu Xuan had some strange skills before, she bought the incense on the black market and went to Xuanyuan Temple to ask for a spell.
In the temple, she found a hermit master who had infused incense with a spell that was primarily used to suppress other Xuanmen techniques and at the same time made the cursed person seek death, greatly weakening their desire to live.
It is said that with the help of telekinesis, no matter what she wants to do, she can accomplish it easily.
Ji Qingyan curled the corners of her lips sarcastically.
After Lu Xuan was insulted by Pei Fan, she came in to convict him.
After the conviction, they would create the illusion that Lu Xuan felt ashamed and committed suicide out of fear of punishment.
She also called Xu Shu in specifically, using her as the last line of defense to restrain Lu Xuan.
She just didn't believe that there would be any problems in today's game!
As she moved, her heartbeat became faster and faster.
Yes, there were two people under the quilt. She had already seen the half-naked male body. It was almost time...
Suddenly, her eyes became fierce and she suddenly threw off the quilt.
A wave of horror came over her and she gasped sharply.
"what--"
