Chapter 1767 Paying Homage to Our King
Seeing this scene at the Gate of Hell, Lu Zhaoling felt a little nervous for some reason, and she gripped the golden pen tightly in her hand.
If Yin Yunting hadn't stopped her, Lu Zhaoling might have run towards Zhou Shiyue.
Zhou Shiyue stood there without moving.
At this moment, the golden light emanating from his body was very strong. Lu Zhaoling didn't know if the Emperor and the others had seen this golden light, but she couldn't care less about what others thought. Her eyes were fixed on Zhou Shiyue's back.
Zhou Shiyue remained standing there. The soldiers had already walked up to him. Just as Lu Zhaoling's heart was in her throat, she suddenly saw the soldiers kneel down in unison before Zhou Shiyue.
"Meet my king!"
The soldiers shouted in unison, their voices filled with a tragic and heroic spirit.
Lu Zhaoling's eyes widened, and she suddenly glanced at Yin Yunting, her eyes filled with doubt.
She wanted to ask her junior brother what was going on. Was there something wrong with her eyes or her ears?
These soldiers aren't dressed in the uniforms of the Great Zhou Dynasty; they look more like soldiers from the previous dynasty.
But why would they call Zhou Shiyue "My King"?
Not to mention Lu Zhaoling, even Yin Yunting was stunned.
He shook his head slightly, indicating that he would take a look first.
After all, those ghost soldiers don't seem like they would harm Zhou Shiyue.
They wanted to see Zhou Shiyue's reaction.
Lu Zhaoling's gaze returned to Zhou Shiyue.
She wanted to ask him, "Zhou Shiyue definitely doesn't recognize these ghosts. How can he respond? Is he just going to put on a show anywhere?"
Zhou Shiyue remained motionless for quite some time.
After a while, he slightly raised his hand, but didn't say anything.
But as soon as he raised his hand, all the ghost soldiers stood up again.
A hint of excitement flickered in their eyes.
But tears welled up in her eyes as well.
They all looked like they were about to cry when they looked at Zhou Shiyue.
Lu Zhaoling's heart skipped a beat when she saw Zhou Shiyue's feigned raising of his hand.
Based on her understanding of Zhou Shiyue, she knew he had never made this gesture before.
Even when Zhou Shiyue wanted someone to stand up, her gesture wasn't like this before.
Well, it's just a slight difference, but the overall feel is noticeably different.
The current Zhou Shiyue felt somewhat unfamiliar to her.
The golden light emanating from him was so intense that she felt if she stood next to him, she could be passively pulled into the air and ascend to heaven. Yes, it was that powerful.
"My king, have you been reincarnated?"
One of the ghost soldiers then spoke.
Lu Zhaoling stared intently at Zhou Shiyue.
Yin Yunting immediately summoned the Book of Souls.
He looked at the ghostly soldier who had spoken, and with a flick of his judge's pen, a string of words appeared on the page.
The name of this soldier, Gui, and the cause of death are written on it.
However, it was written in a very simple way.
Du Bing, in the seventeenth year of the Great Jin Dynasty, in the dead of winter, a warrior named Wuyuan.
Great Jin?
This isn't the previous dynasty.
Yin Yunting was stunned for a moment.
At this moment, Lu Zhaoling also glanced at his Soul-Hooking Book and saw this sentence.
Great Jin?
She didn't know what dynasty it was. It certainly wasn't the Jin Dynasty she knew from history.
However, it was not the previous dynasty of the Great Zhou.
"Whom are you controlled?" Zhou Shiyue's voice suddenly rang out.
The soldier named Du Bing straightened his expression and said, "Your Majesty, we are not controlled by anyone! It is only due to the suppression of Heaven that we are unable to reincarnate. Now that we know you have been reincarnated in the Great Zhou, we have been summoned to assist you..."
At this moment, the retired emperor whipped several ghosts away from the roof of the palace.
The retired emperor looked in this direction and saw the Gate of Hell.
He also saw the golden light emanating from Zhou Shiyue.
However, because the golden light was too bright, he couldn't see the appearance of the ghost soldiers standing in front of Zhou Shiyue.
He was terrified when he saw Zhou Shiyue standing alone at the gate of hell.
"Ah Yue!"
At this moment, the Emperor Emeritus felt that Zhou Shiyue might be in danger. He couldn't hold back any longer and immediately wanted to fly down towards the Ghost Gate to rescue Zhou Shiyue.
But as soon as he floated down from the roof, Yin Changxing reached out and stopped him. The Emperor Emeritus said to Yin Changxing, "Did you see A-Yue at the Gate of Hell? Was he taken there by some evil spirit? If he's been dragged into that Gate of Hell, it will be dangerous."
Yin Changxing didn't turn around to look, but calmly said to him, "Your Majesty, you should be guarding that position on the roof now. Don't leave without permission. With Xiao Ling'er by your side, Prince Jin will definitely not be allowed to get into trouble."
The Emperor Emeritus then remembered that he had indeed seen Lu Zhaoling standing not far behind Zhou Shiyue.
"But why didn't Master Ling pull him out?"
The Emperor Emeritus was getting anxious. He was afraid that Lu Zhaoling was being haunted by some kind of ghost and wouldn't be able to save Zhou Shiyue in time.
Yin Changxing said, "Xiao Ling'er will protect him. Besides, Prince Jin doesn't actually need much protection; he's quite capable himself."
Hearing this, the retired emperor could only suppress his worries and return to the rooftop.
As soon as I went up, I saw several ghostly figures climbing up.
He was furious and lashed out with the whip again.
"I'll beat you all to death! How dare you act so arrogantly in my Great Zhou Ancestral Temple?"
clap clap.
The whip cracked repeatedly, causing everyone inside to huddle together.
The prince stood behind the door, peering out through the crack.
He couldn't see the location of the Ghost Gate.
However, it could be seen that black mist occasionally burst out and then dissipated.
He could also see several dark figures approaching the little monk under the tree ahead, reaching out their hands, but they were quickly repelled.
Once it was deflected, it dispersed into black mist and slowly dissipated.
It was only then that the prince realized there was a hidden meaning behind the little monk who abstained from eating.
This little monk can actually exorcise evil spirits.
No wonder, my grandfather once said that he wanted to keep this little monk to guard the ancestral temple.
The prince used to think that the little monk was so young and pitiful here.
The Crown Prince also saw his father and the Second Prince, both of whom had their eyes closed and were pale.
They don't even dare to open their eyes now.
"Crown Prince, where is Imperial Uncle?" The Fifth Princess suddenly came to his side and also looked through the crack in the door.
The crown prince turned his head and glanced at her, and saw her calm expression.
Among them, Xiao Wu was the only one who, like him, was not frightened.
She was even calmer than him.
He was very worried about his uncle and aunt, but the Fifth Princess didn't seem worried at all.
The Crown Prince was now a little curious about the Fifth Princess.
“I didn’t see it either,” he said.
"Is it my aunt protecting my uncle?" the Fifth Princess asked again. "I heard that my aunt's magical arts are very advanced. Crown Prince, should we open the door a little so we can see better?"
She explained, "If there's any danger, we can help in time."
