After Xia Ji finished carving the 50 prayer beads, he felt a strong sense of fatigue rush into his mind. He stopped and strung the 50 prayer beads together with the original 108.
Looking at these prayer beads, he could not help but shake his head and reveal a disappointed expression. It was too little. He could only make fifty at a time. He was still too weak after all.
Turning his head, he saw Hu Xian Er looking at him as if she was looking at an immortal.
“What’s wrong?”
“Master, can you give me a bunch?”
“I can’t.”
“I only want the type with fourteen pills.”
“I can’t.”
“I can sell my body in exchange,” Hu Xian Er said pitifully.
“Seven days of fun.” “Shut up! ”
“Oh ..
Xia Ji thought about what the imperial guards had said.
Great General Nangong He’s 30,000 troops would arrive in three days?
He took a sip of wine, wrote a letter, and wrapped it around the white eagle’s claw. This eagle was flying toward the northern camp. There was a special gap between him and Deng Jue, so he could mobilize it without the Tiger Tally.
After releasing the white eagle, Hu Xian Er was lying on the table beside him, her charming face staring at him.
“There’s something I need you to do,” Xia Ji said.
“Master, I feel that it’s better for me to guard the Imperial City. After all, those foxes and foxes are very mischievous. My foxes are skilled in charm and can also possess others. However, we cannot be discovered by others. Otherwise, we will invite a great disaster.
Therefore, I have to be clean and realistic. I also have to teach those foxes a lesson. Mobilizing them before possession is also essential.”
“Tell them to stop for a while and stay in the palace. Don’t go anywhere. The newcomers should also not cause trouble. Can you do that?”
“Fourteen prayer beads.”
“Can you do it?”
“Bad guy, I only want fourteen.”
“Can you do it?”
“Yes …”
As long as Xia Ji was fierce, Hu Xian ‘er would immediately cower. The mental punishment of the contract was too painful, and she didn’t want to do it a
second time. She also tried to break the contract, but she found that this young prince’s mental power was unfathomable. She was already an old fox who had cultivated for hundreds of years, and her tail was almost growing out, but she still couldn’t pry into the prince’s mental limit, let alone break it.
This prince…
He was simply a land god walking in the human world.
Xia Ji took out half of a blue crocodile-shaped jade pendant from his bosom and waved his hand. Hu Xian Er’s petite body twisted and brought her ear close to Xia Ji’s lips.
Xia Ji whispered a few words to the old fox, who was stunned for a moment.
She looked at the prince with an even stranger gaze, as if she had seen a ghost. Then, she said resentfully, ” You’re really a bad thing. ” Then, she quickly grabbed the jade pendant and turned into a gust of wind before Xia Ji could get angry. She was so fast that she disappeared into the snow in the blink of an eye.
Xia Ji let out a sigh of relief and rubbed his brows. He then returned to the Sutra Library and began reading the books. As he finished reading, Skill Orbs were produced and stored in his Primordial Spirit. Unfortunately, they were all white or green. There were also some blue ones, but not many. There were no purple Skill Orbs.
This was not surprising. At first, he thought that he had not seen any ” masterpieces so he could not produce high-quality Skill Orbs. However, during this period of time, he had read many books that contained philosophical thoughts, but they were still green and white Skill Orbs. This only meant one thing:The contents of the book determined the type of Skill Orb, but the book itself determined the quality of the Skill Orb.
He still remembered that the Buddhist scriptures he had obtained,[Nine Yang
Heart Sutra],[Unmovable Emperor Ming Body], and [Eighteen Prison Suppression Force], were all extremely ancient manuscripts and not ordinary scriptures.
It seemed like finding an ancient book that contained supreme philosophy was the way to develop Skill Orbs.
As he read, he pondered.
In the evening, he felt that his spirit had recovered a little, so he continued to make prayer beads. He made another 50 beads in one go before stopping, so there were a total of 208 prayer beads.
A voice came from behind him. ” Brother, did he send the general back to the
City? ,
“Yes.”
“Then Big Brother will definitely not agree to open the door, right?”
“Yes.”
“Is General Deng reliable?” Xia Xiaosu asked.
Xia Ji laughed.
“I shouldn’t have doubted the General’s loyalty to my brother,” Xia Xiaosu said.
“No, you should be suspicious,��� Xia Ji said.
” I thought he was reliable, but I know the Eighth Princess is up to something. ‘
“Xia Qingxuan?”
The image of a mysterious girl suddenly appeared in the Ninth Princess ‘mind. That girl was only half a year older than her and a few months younger than her brother. ” I remember my brother praising her, saying that she was seventeen years old, but she knew heavenly literature and geography. Even the Great Si Ming of the Heaven Inspecting Bureau kept praising her, saying that she was a rare genius in algebra. ‘
‘ I still have to praise her, ” Xia Ji said. ” She can predict the weather, seize the time, and send messages everywhere. The ambush I encountered at Leiyin Temple was probably her doing. ‘
The Ninth Princess said, ” The Eighth Princess and the Fifth Prince are biological siblings, just like you and me. Since she is making a move, then the Fifth Prince must not be idle either. However, the emperor is still here. Why are these two targeting us?
She had recently read a lot of books about political tactics, so she thought about it and continued along this line of thought, “Could it be that Tian Zi is using you and me as a test? Deliberately letting them go?
Then … Wouldn’t the Second Princess and the Third Prince become partners? Both of them were born from Consort Wan. The Fourth Princess and the Crown Prince had the same mother. Now that the Crown Prince was dead, she was all alone.
And the sixth prince…”
At the mention of the sixth prince, she paused. This was a taboo name in the royal family because the sixth prince was too crazy. He was a monster who really went against the rules. He had long been removed from the royal family. Not only was he removed, but Black Water Platform had even issued a warrant to capture him.
Xia Xiaosu thought for a moment and said, “Recently, I’ve been looking through the official files in the palace. There are many of these files. The emperor didn’t take them with him when he left the capital. Then, I categorized them…” “Help the demons successfully possess the body?” Xia Ji asked.
Xia Xiaosu hesitated for a moment before nodding. ” If they don’t master the habits, daily lives, and personalities of those officials, they might reveal flaws. So, I’ve let them learn again these few days. ‘
“I’ve thought it through. Those people do things by hook or by crook, and if I want to do something, I need to be even more unscrupulous than them. Those who obey us will be kept, and those who don’t will be possessed.” “Then what do you want to do?”
“I think ���” Xia Xiaosu smiled. ” I can’t stand to see those refugees cry and suffer. I think that since the calamity is coming, there will be more and more of them. If doing evil can protect many, many people, then I am willing.”
Xia Ji caressed her hair. ” This is not evil. ‘
“What’s that?”
“This is a little girl’s dream.”
“Big brother! ”
“Haha…
