Quick Wear: Random Cheats

Chapter 121: The Humiliated Woman Beheaded and Abandoned in the City (4)

At the same time, in Luoyang city.

The spiritual energy stored within the spiritual illusion seeds Ding Shui had set up was finally being depleted. As the illusions vanished, some people's last remaining breaths vanished, and they passed out on the spot. Others who had fainted earlier gradually regained consciousness, while the more resilient ones, after taking several deep breaths, regained consciousness.

Start slapping the faces of the unconscious people.

Want to wake them up.

Luoyang City was brightly lit but also seemed quite chaotic. All the awake people were basically discussing what had just happened. Some were scared, some were sad, and some felt it was a great pity.

"Wuwu... Wuwu... Juanniang...

I just lit the lamp to see if my husband was among those souls. Woohoo... but I searched everywhere... and I couldn't find him. So many of them suddenly appeared, how could he not think of coming to see me..."

"My parents didn't come to see me..."

"Although those souls look scary, seeing them... I feel much more at ease. Since they can appear, my parents... must still be alive in the other world. Wuwu... I miss them so much..."

"I saw my sister-in-law. She was standing in front of me and had half of her head chopped off. It's all my fault. I didn't have the courage to even collect her body. Wuuwuwu... Wuuwuwu..."

Ding Shui had actually underestimated the illusions she'd created, and even more so, the emotions people would experience after seeing them. The people of Luoyang, who had survived several near-massacres, hadn't seen the gruesome sight of corpses? Naturally, they weren't frightened. Most of them were overcome with grief, reawakening deep memories and striving to find their families.

From these ghosts who died in miserable ways.

Looking for a familiar figure.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that most of the mental illusion seeds that Ding Shui released into the residential area were excerpts from the original body's memories, or in other words, they were constructed and created based on part of the original body's memories.

It comes from the original body's memory, which is what happened a few days ago. Many people will naturally feel familiar after seeing it.

Seeing deceased relatives is not uncommon.

Maybe it just happened to be in the original body's memory.

The living quarters of officials and nobles, as well as the conditions within the imperial palace, were clearly different from those in the residential areas. Firstly, they hadn't experienced the brutal massacres of the previous few times; at that time, they had all fled to Bashu for refuge. Secondly, the illusions Ding Shui had prepared for them were essentially as terrifying as possible. If they could scare a few to death, that would be best; if they could scare everyone to death, they would celebrate with fireworks.

So those places are really haunted and full of ghosts.

Many people were really scared to death.

Emperor Qixiang was so frightened that he fainted. Several imperial physicians, whose calves were shaking with fear, were now trembling as they took his pulse, prescribed medicine, and gave him acupuncture.

It was not until more than an hour later that he slowly woke up. He quickly called the famous Taoist temple master and Buddhist abbot in Luoyang City and asked them to perform a ritual to exorcise evil spirits in his bedroom. At the same time, he also began to silently recite some scriptures to keep himself from breaking down.

"Why do so many evil spirits suddenly appear?
Could it be that too many people died in Luoyang? I knew I shouldn't have returned. I should have stayed in the Bashu Palace for a while. At the very least, I should have held a water and land ceremony in Luoyang to liberate the souls of the deceased before returning. "Abbot Huiming, I'll give you 100,000 taels of silver later. Hurry and find as many monks as possible to come here and hold a water and land ceremony."

"Also, Master Dongxuan, you should quickly organize a ceremony to liberate the souls of the deceased and call all the Taoists who know the Taiyi Sutra. The reward is also 100,000 taels of silver. You two Buddhists and Taoists should work together to ensure that those souls are liberated. I don't want to see them again!" After reciting the Sutra for a while and feeling a little dry in the mouth, Emperor Qixiang suddenly had an idea and felt that he understood why this happened today. It must be because too many people died in Luoyang City and too many souls were unable to be reborn.

So he gave the order immediately.

"I obey your command! Infinite Heavenly Lord!"

"I obey your command! Namo Amitabha!"

After giving the order, Emperor Qixiang still felt a little uneasy. He turned to look at the eunuch beside him and said:
"How's the situation in Chang'an City recently?
If all else fails, let's move back to Chang'an City. Living here is too unsafe. There's a shortage of food, a lack of water, and transportation difficulties. It's better than being haunted all the time."

The original capital of Daqian was Chang'an City. Chang'an City had been the capital of several dynasties. The nearby resources had long been exhausted, whether it was easy-to-mine coal resources or plant resources, all of them were exhausted. Even the artificial canal leading to Chang'an City was often dry.

It is quite inconvenient to transport various materials there.

A hundred years ago, there was even a situation where the emperor and his officials had no food to eat in Chang'an and had to move to Luoyang for food. Later, the emperor planned to live in Luoyang for a while and then move back after the canal near Chang'an was dredged. However, almost a hundred years later, the canal in Chang'an was still not dredged.

As a result, Luoyang became the new imperial capital.

But because the emperor and his officials are not here, there has been a serious population loss there, so it’s actually not that bad now.

At least there are existing resources there.

Enough to support Chang'an after its population decreased significantly.

Emperor Qixiang thought that it was best to leave the haunted place for the time being and move. Transportation costs were high, so what? He couldn't let the emperor starve. If all else failed, he could just drive the people of Chang'an to Luoyang. With fewer people, wouldn't that be enough?

"Your Majesty, the imperial palace in Chang'an has probably fallen into disrepair. If we want to move, it will take at least some time to repair it, and it may cost a million taels of silver."

This is not nonsense from the chief eunuch. How could a palace that has not been lived in by the emperor for a hundred years be carefully maintained? At most, it can be kept bright and beautiful on the surface, and there may be many problems inside. It is really hard to say whether it can be lived in.

Clean up and repair it without prior notice.

There is no way to move it.

Hearing this, Emperor Qixiang frowned again:

“Send someone to Chang’an City to see which is the best mansion besides the imperial palace.

It will be collected directly and used as my temporary palace.

Wouldn’t that give you a place to live?

I can't stay in Luoyang any longer. I have to wait until the water and land ceremony and the salvation ceremony are over before considering whether to return. Send someone to investigate immediately."

"As you command, Your Majesty!!"
