The Great Tang Dynasty: Heavenly Official Bestows Blessings, Starting with a Little Rhinoceros Offer

Chapter 76 Jiang Lin's Curiosity: The True Appearance of Monsters in the Tang Dynasty

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun immediately realized what was going on.

What Changsun Wuji was referring to was actually his eldest son, Changsun Chong.

Empress Zhangsun naturally cared deeply about her nephew.

He immediately asked the question, his tone filled with anxiety.

"What's wrong with Chong'er? Is he sick?"

"If one is ill, one should summon the imperial physician; why seek out two Taoist priests?"

When his younger sister asked him this, Changsun Wuji's expression turned somewhat unpleasant; it was an awkwardness that was difficult to express.

He hesitated for a moment, as if he was carefully considering his words.

After all, it would be a disgrace to the family to reveal this matter.

But after a moment of silence, he finally gritted his teeth and said.

"It's not that I'm sick; it would be better if I were sick."

"It was when Chong'er was playing in the East Market of Chang'an yesterday."

"Suddenly...suddenly a woman was brought back."

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin raised an eyebrow. Bringing a woman back doesn't necessarily require seeking out a Taoist priest, does it?

But what Changsun Wuji said next shocked everyone.

"After that, he kept himself locked in a room with that woman."

"For a whole day and night, he didn't come out, nor did he eat or drink."

"When I heard about this, I found it absurd. So I led my men to break down the door and drag that rebellious son out."

"But...but I just can't open the door."

Changsun Wuji's voice trembled slightly.

"The door wasn't locked, yet it felt as heavy as a thousand pounds."

"I ordered more than a dozen guards in my household to ram the door, but they didn't budge an inch."

"The entire room seemed to be sealed off by an invisible force."

"And the room was eerily quiet, not a sound at all."

Changsun Wuji's hesitation stemmed from the fact that his own son had suddenly brought a strange woman home to spend the night.

If this gets out, it's really awful; it's a scandal.

Not to mention, he also intended to arrange a marriage between his son and Princess Chang Le.

If His Majesty thinks that Chong'er is of bad character, how can he possibly speak up!

But now it's out of necessity; if we don't speak out, Changsun Chong could be in serious trouble.

Between saving face and life, life is naturally more important.

Empress Zhangsun responded to this with a somewhat absent-minded expression.

"Chong'er is usually so well-mannered and knowledgeable, why is he so muddle-headed?"

"Who exactly is that woman?"

Li Shimin sneered at this, his gaze sharpening.

As an emperor, he had an instinctive wariness of such strange occurrences.

"Perhaps he encountered something unclean."

"That woman, she's probably not human."

How could an ordinary woman possibly seal the door so tightly that even a dozen burly men couldn't break it open?

Changsun Wuji nodded, looking dejected.

"That's my guess too."

"I suspect that she has encountered some evil spirit that has bewitched Chong'er's mind."

"That's why I hurriedly wanted to find two Taoist priests to come to my home to exorcise the evil spirits."

"However, when I arrived at the Imperial Observatory, I found it empty."

"The officials there said that the two Taoist priests were summoned by His Majesty."

"I had no choice but to come here in a hurry to save my son, without even paying attention to etiquette."

At this point, Changsun Wuji glanced at the Taoist in blue robes not far away.

"I just didn't expect what would happen after arriving at the Rissei-den."

"I even met the legendary God."

"If we could get the Divine Lord's help, Chong'er's problem would surely be resolved instantly!"

As Changsun Wuji spoke, he became increasingly excited, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

Upon hearing Changsun Wuji's words, Li Shimin's expression changed slightly, and he immediately coughed twice.

"Ahem!"

He immediately lowered his voice, his eyes filled with reproach.

"Auxiliary machine, you need to watch what you say!"

"The Divine Lord is a supreme deity above the Nine Heavens, how noble he is."

"How can you trouble the divine ruler with such a trivial matter as domestic unrest?"

Li Shimin spoke softly and in a very low voice.

As she spoke, she cautiously glanced at Jiang Lin not far away out of the corner of her eye.

After all, in Li Shimin's eyes, how could a god of such status possibly go to your house to catch monsters!

Upon hearing the reminder, Changsun Wuji immediately realized what was happening.

I was too anxious just now and lost my composure.

Now that I've come to my senses, I feel a chill run down my spine.

He quickly covered his mouth with his hand, his eyes filled with fear.

This is a divine being!

To send the deity to do the work of the Imperial Observatory? How dare I even have such a thought!

However, what they didn't know was...

With Jiang Lin's current perception ability, no matter how much he lowered his voice, it would have no effect.

He did not feel offended by what Changsun Wuji had just said.

On the contrary, Jiang Lin's lips curled into a smile of interest.

He was very interested in what Changsun Wuji had said about encountering demons and monsters.

You must understand that in modern times, spiritual energy has been severed.

At most, only a few insignificant spirits and monsters like those we encountered before will appear.

That kind of thing is at best an extra breath; it's far from being a true demon.

But this Tang Dynasty era is completely different.

This is a truly spiritually vibrant world, where you can feel the active energy with every breath.

Therefore, there must be a large number of real monsters in this space-time.

The descriptions given by Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng have already confirmed this.

Since that's the case, Jiang Lin was genuinely interested in seeing it for himself.

I want to see what kind of monsters existed in this dynasty.

Is she a fierce, fanged monster, or a captivating beauty?

Is it flesh and blood, or just a wisp of ethereal spirit?

This is much more interesting than eating any kind of royal banquet.

Jiang Lin then turned around and called out to the little ox that was playing nearby.

At this moment, the little guy is with his older sister, Li Lizhi.

Two identical paper cranes hovered and danced above the two people's heads.

The little guy was tiptoeing, giggling, and having a great time.

Upon hearing his master's call, Xiao immediately stopped what he was doing.

She turned around, her little face flushed, and excitedly ran over with her short legs.

"Hey, hey, what's wrong?"

"Is there something fun to do again?"

Jiang Lin chuckled and shook his head at this.

He reached out and tidied her slightly messy bangs, then pointed to Changsun Wuji beside her.

Little Sizi looked in that direction, blinked twice, and immediately realized what was happening.

"Huh? It's Uncle!"

"When did Uncle arrive?"

The little guy had been playing with Li Lizhi and was engrossed in his paper crane game, so he didn't notice Changsun Wuji's arrival at all.

At this moment, Jiang Lin bent down and whispered in his little apprentice's ear.

"Mingda, your uncle seems to be in some trouble."

"He seems to be troubled by a monster. Would you like to help him slay it?"

Hearing the words "slaying demons and eliminating evil"...

Xiao Sizi's eyes lit up instantly.

He then nodded excitedly, his little head bobbing like a chick pecking at rice.

"Okay! Okay!"

"Sizi's going to fight a monster!"

"Sizi has become so capable; I must go and help my uncle!"

Having said that, he did not linger.

He then turned around and ran to Changsun Wuji.
