Chapter 145 Witchcraft

Many people gathered around the street, pointing and pointing.

It's clear that panic is spreading.

His death was so bizarre, and it was right next to him, how could he not be afraid?

In particular, there are vague speculations about ghosts and gods.

"Liu Hai's wife must be possessed by a evil spirit."

"How did you know?"

"You see her face has aged so much since she died. She must have been absorbed by the evil ghost."

"I heard that those evil ghosts can greatly increase their magic power by sucking the yang energy of living people."

"It seems like we need to find a Taoist priest to do it."

"Old Wang, you have traveled all over the world over the years and have gained a lot of knowledge. I don't know which master is good at catching ghosts. Let's raise money together and hire a master to suppress ghosts..."

Everyone was talking about it.

"excuse me."

The Imperial Guard appeared and dispersed the people.

A commander of the Tianyi Guards was examining the corpse, frowning.

Li Qingxuan walked in expressionlessly.

This matter has endangered his wife, and he is also a little panicked.

"Let me take a look."

Li Qingxuan said.

"Go aside."

The commander of the Tianyi Guard who was checking the trance said angrily.

Long Qingfeng, who was standing next to him, scolded angrily: "Bold."

The commander of the Tianyi Guard turned around and saw Li Qingxuan.

Although Li Qingxuan was wearing plain clothes, he recognized Long Qingfeng next to him.

"How dare you be rude to His Highness King You."

Long Qingfeng said loudly.

The commander was so frightened that his hands were shaking and he almost knelt down.

Li Qingxuan waved his hand.

"Have you found anything?"

The other party shook his head.

"The way she died was very strange, and there are no clues."

Li Qingxuan used his true energy to enter the corpse and found nothing unusual.

Viewed with the eyes of God, it is just an ordinary corpse. The only abnormality is that there is a lot of missing blood.

The reason why the corpse becomes old is because there is insufficient blood in the blood vessels, causing wrinkles on the panel, and the blood seems to have been eaten by something.

Li Qingxuan frowned.

But he didn't find anything in the other party's body.

"What happened? Where are the other bodies?"

"The other corpses have been transported back to the Yamen." Commander Tianyi Guard replied,

"Let's go to Beizhen Fusi."

Li Qingxuan said.

At Fusi Yamen in Beizhen, people come and go.

Commander Xue Gang was frowning as he looked at the corpses lined up in the yard.

Seeing Li Qingxuan coming in, he hurriedly greeted him.

"This incident has alarmed His Highness Prince You."

"Have you found anything?"

Li Qingxuan asked.

"Although I don't know who the murderer is, I have an idea."

"oh?"

Li Qingxuan's eyes lit up.

"Quickly, tell me this."

Xue Gang didn't know why Li Qingxuan was so concerned about this matter.

But he still said calmly: "Seeing the death of these people, I remembered a previous record, so I checked the classics."

"Sure enough, similar cases happened during the previous dynasty."

"The reason why these people can't find any trace after their death is because they were witchcrafted."

"witchcraft?"

This was the first time Li Qingxuan heard it.

"According to records in ancient books, witchcraft is a kind of magic in the ancient Shu Kingdom. It can make people die silently through a certain medium."

"Witchcraft is unpredictable, mysterious and abnormal. It has disappeared for hundreds of years, but unexpectedly it reappeared."

"According to my observation, the symptoms of these deceased people are very similar to witchcraft."

Li Qingxuan's face turned cold.

"Is there a way to undo this witchcraft?"

Li Qingxuan asked.

His mind was already in turmoil.

"Witchcraft is invisible. As long as there is a medium, you can cast spells. Even if it is a hair, a drop of blood, or a nail, it is impossible to prevent it."

"If you want to break the witchcraft, you can only kill the caster."

"According to records, the casting range of witchcraft cannot be too far. In other words, the person who casts the spell must be hiding in the city."

Xue Gang replied.

"Damn it! I must find out the person who cast the spell and cut him into pieces."

Li Qingxuan's body was filled with murderous aura, and there was anger boiling in his heart.

Even the air in the yard became cold.

"Commander Xue, you sent the Tianyi Guards to investigate quietly. The other party has killed so many innocent people. I am afraid that they intend to disrupt the imperial capital and will never stop here."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, this is your subordinate's duty."

Li Qingxuan nodded and left.

On one side, he asked the Forbidden Army to strengthen their protection, and on the other side, he directly found Qin Xiaomo and others.

Use the power of Langya Pavilion in the capital to track down the caster.

At the same time, I felt a little anxious.

Huazhi has obviously been under witchcraft.

Because in the palace, the other party's casting distance is far away, so no serious problems have occurred yet.

It's just insomnia and nightmares at the beginning, but as time goes by, who knows what will happen.

The three major forces of Langya Pavilion, Forbidden Army, and Tianyi Guard were secretly investigating in the city, but Li Qingxuan was extremely anxious.

In the evening, Huazhi came back with a tired look and her complexion became even worse.

Li Qingxuan saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, knowing that he could not delay it any longer.

"Husband, what's wrong with you? Don't worry, it's just that you haven't had enough rest."

Huazhi comforted.

Li Qingxuan shook his head, wondering whether he should tell Huazhi about the witchcraft.

After hesitating for a moment, he still didn't speak.

"Yes, you must have a good rest."

At night, Huazhi lay on the bed and looked at Li Qingxuan, who was frowning.

"Husband, what's wrong with you? Take a rest quickly."

"It's okay, I'll watch you sleep."

Huazhi pulled the quilt up to her neck and closed her eyes, but her eyelashes were still trembling, obviously unable to fall asleep.

Li Qingxuan transferred the true energy into her body, and it quickly took effect.

I saw her breathing became even and she fell into a deep sleep.

"Hopefully there won't be any nightmares."

Li Qingxuan sat on the edge of the bed and watched quietly. Huazhi's cheeks looked haggard.

"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, no one can hurt you. I will definitely find out the mastermind behind this."

Late at night, Li Qingxuan left the room and jumped onto the roof.

The person behind the scenes would obviously choose to take action at night, and he would also conduct the search himself.

Just one night passed, and neither the Tianyi Guards, the Forbidden Army nor Langya Pavilion found anything.

morning.

Huazhi woke up, opened her eyes, and saw that there was no Li Qingxuan next to her. She suddenly sat up and the quilt slipped down.

At this time, Li Qingxuan opened the door and walked in.

"you're awake."

Li Qingxuan smiled.

"Husband, why did you get up so early today?"

Huazhi frowned.

In the past, she went to the morning court while Li Qingxuan slept in.

"Seeing that you have been mentally exhausted these past few days, I specially made a loving breakfast for you."

Li Qingxuan said.

"By the way, how did you sleep last night?"

"Um."

Huazhi smiled sweetly.

"It seems that using Qi to help her sleep is still useful."

"I'm going to court."

After having breakfast, Huazhi felt much better. She smiled and waved to Li Qingxuan.

After Huazhi left, Long Qingfeng came to see Li Qingxuan.

"Has anyone died in the city today?"

Li Qingxuan asked.

"No."

"It seems that the other party knew that we were searching, so they stopped."

"Continue to be more vigilant."

"I think of a person who might be able to help His Majesty eliminate witchcraft."

Long Qingfeng suddenly spoke.

"who?"

Li Qingxuan said anxiously.

"There is a miracle doctor in Yunzhou, who is known as the King of Medicine in the world. He has the ability to bring the dead back to life."

"I heard that he can even solve the voodoo magic in southern Xinjiang. Gu magic and witchcraft come from the same source. Maybe he will have a way."

"Yeah?"

Li Qingxuan's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Then I, the king, will invite him personally."

"Your Highness, please let me go. It will take six days to go to Yunzhou and back. If you are not here during this period, Your Majesty will be restless again at night."

"Okay, go and invite him. You must pay any price to invite this Medicine King."

"The last general takes orders."

Long Qingfeng handed over his hand and set off immediately.

Li Qingxuan rubbed his eyebrows.

My heart was in turmoil.
