After being reborn in the Mass Grave, she overturned her predecessor's power

"Us?" Qiu Ling said with a cold expression, "You and I are far from a relationship that can be called us."

Still cautious and alert, this is probably why she can stay with Gu Hanzhou for so long.

After a brief probing, Wen Yuchen was not angry at her attitude. He chuckled calmly and said, "Miss Qiu has skillful hands. When the time comes, I will trouble Miss Qiu by dressing up."

"That's my job."

Qiu Ling felt that he was too dangerous and didn't want to talk to him anymore, so she coldly dropped the words and left.

Soon the day of practice came, and Qiuling still looked lukewarm.

The two pretended to be a couple. He was labeled with a big beard, his face was yellowed and his eyebrows were thickened. He looked like an honest man who was good at farming.

Qiuling almost never appeared in public in Xiangchu. She dressed herself as a little woman, wearing no makeup, a headscarf, and linen clothes.

The two drove the bullock cart to the place where the altar was opened and the practice was performed.

An open space in Nuoda was bustling with people. Many people came to watch the excitement, and some took the opportunity to set up stalls to sell things.

Wen Yuchen put his arms around Qiu Ling's waist to protect her, "Madam, be careful of being squeezed, stay with me."

Qiuling stiffened subconsciously, and the little bird who quickly cooperated leaned against him.

There were soldiers maintaining order, the altar had been set up, and two urns were placed on the table in front of the altar.

They mingled with the crowd and watched from a distance.

My legs were sore from waiting, and the crowd suddenly became noisy.

"The mage is here!"

Several people in white robes holding staffs looked at the extraordinary mage, who was escorted by soldiers to the altar.

Following closely behind were Gu Tangli and Jiang Xuening. Wen Yuchen looked for a moment, but did not see Mu Linlang, so he quickly took it back.

Jiang Xuening and Gu Tangli walked up to the high altar and stood aside, looking down at the crowd watching the excitement below.

"Do you think he would hide in the crowd?"

"Anyway, we are going to sacrifice to heaven. If we are here, it will be better to kill people and punish people. If we are not here, the news will spread."

Jiang Xuening didn't place any hope on being able to fish out and catch the person with just two boxes of ashes. Someone who could be the regent wouldn't be so stupid.

Today's ritual ceremony was mainly done to make Gu Tangli vent his anger. She wanted to disgust Gu Hanzhou, so she helped him.

I hope that after getting rid of this bad breath, she can feel comfortable and slowly move on from this incident. Only when her mood is good will her health be better.

The mage looked at her and said, "My lord, can you start the practice?"

She nodded, "Let's get started."

The mage holds three pillars of incense to offer sacrifice to heaven first, and then inserts the incense into the altar. Then the singing and sacrificial dance began, and the sky was filled with white paper.

It looks grand and mysterious, full of divine dances and weird chants, and the staff is constantly casting spells on the urn.

The people below opened their eyes wide and watched with great interest.

Wen Yuchen whispered, "It's interesting."

Qiuling warned him, "I don't care who you are, you are not allowed to move rashly today, and you are not allowed to leave my sight."

After speaking, the cold tip of the knife touched his waist. She stepped on her feet and whispered in his ear, "Otherwise, I will kill you!"

Wen Yuchen's heart that wanted to do something and take advantage of the opportunity to connect was suppressed, and his heart suddenly felt cold.

He lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Madam, you are too ruthless. You obviously want him dead, do you really want to be loyal to him to the end?"

"If you dare to move, don't blame me for being ruthless."

The two were competing when a strange sharp sound came out. More than a dozen huge black birds flew from the sky, flying around the altar.

The mage on the stage said loudly, "This is the bird of the dead. The ashes have been swallowed by them. With the use of undead techniques, the souls of those swallowed will perish and they will never be reincarnated!"

He opened the urn himself, and the undead bird instantly landed on the table and began to eat the ashes.

Several mages continued to dance and chant around the altar, and the undead bird ate happily.

Soon the two boxes of ashes were pecked, the bird of the dead went away, the incense in the altar was extinguished, and the sacrificial dance and chanting also ended.

The sun sets in the west, and the remaining light of the setting sun shines on the altar. There was silence and the bloody sunset made people feel sad.

Gu Tangli walked to the center of the stage, looked at the people in the audience and said word by word, "Gu Hanzhou, I know you must be hiding in the corner and watching."

"This is my revenge on you. The two lives you owe me will be paid with the lives of your brothers and sisters. It's fair to retaliate."

"Remember, your brothers and sisters will never be reincarnated, all because of you. When you come back from your dream at midnight, don't forget the sins you have done..."

"And the child who has never seen the light of day and paid for our evil fate with his life... turned into a pool of blood and disappeared... These are all your faults. Don't forget that you have to be haunted by nightmares every night... "

"As for the debt between you and me, I will personally collect it!"

Her calm words were filled with silent and huge sadness. In just a few words, a woman's life was ruined and she lost everything.

The people below listened quietly, no one spoke.

Gu Tangli finally said sternly, "Gu Hanzhou, I will personally destroy everything you care about!"

After she finished speaking, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and the turbid air that had been pressing on her chest finally dissipated.

Jiang Xuening stepped forward and said, "Let's go."

"Won't you take the opportunity to catch him?"

"I'll have people investigate carefully," she said softly, "but there are so many people today and there's a mixed bag, so there's not much hope of catching him."

"If you can come out and live well, then this ritual will be worth it."

Gu Tangli tried her best to face the setting sun and smiled, "My life was paid for by my children and hibiscus. How can I let it down so easily? I want to use the rest of my life to do meaningful things."

"You are right to think so..."

The two sisters walked away hand in hand under the sunset. The altar they had set up began to be dismantled, and the urn was thrown down casually.

Some bold people stepped forward to take a look and said, "There are really no ashes left. The birds of the dead have really eaten them!"

People with good intentions came up to watch.

Wen Yuchen and Qiu Ling gradually dispersed along with the crowd.

Wen Yuchen was not willing to leave such a good opportunity like this, but the coldness in his waist did not dare to let him act rashly.

She was so cautious, and he couldn't help but guess, "He's not really here to come, is he?"

"Calm down."

Although there were soldiers checking, there were too many people. Moreover, it is difficult to control the mixture of fish and dragons, so they passed through smoothly.

The two of them were careful all the way, and even took a detour to make sure there was no little tail following them, and then returned to the mountain col where they lived.

As soon as they returned, they found that the people who had obviously followed Gu Hanzhou were waiting for them.

Xuanzi No. 1 secret guard Xuanyi said, "Please, please. The regent has sent me to pick you up."

Qiu Ling was calm and didn't look surprised at all, "I'll go back to the room and tidy up."

Wen Yuchen's eyes flashed slightly and he said calmly, "Where is the Prince Regent?"
