Fairy, don't try to mess with my filial piety

"Whose hand was it that painted the 'voice and appearance are still there' on the mourning hall? How did they really call Prince Jing'an back?"

At this moment, Chu Wuzhi put the little princess back into the princess' arms, stood up and walked towards the tables of people from the Li family.

"Wu Ji..." Princess Jing'an called softly.

"I'll take care of the mess a bit."

Chu Wuji responded gently and continued walking towards the Li family.

As he passed by, he stretched out a finger and lightly touched the forehead of "Prince Jing'an".

The dead souls were burned away in an instant and turned into ashes!

The third uncle of the Li family covered his forehead and rolled on the ground in pain, begging for mercy.

This is the backlash of a small spell being broken. In essence, it is using one's own soul to mimic and disguise oneself as the soul of the deceased.

In an instant, several huge hands with strong energy appeared at the same time, grabbed the Li family members who were talking the most, and held them in mid-air, flapping their feet.

Chu Wuji pulled a chair from the Li family's table, sat down as if nothing had happened, and asked indifferently:

"It's cold, your mind is not clear, and you're starting to think about eating the whole family?"

"I'll take you to do some exercise to warm up your brain!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the huge hand of Gangqi turned into a rope, tied around the necks of the Li family members, and hung them in the air, swinging like a swing.

Hanging yourself makes you breathless, so it should be considered anaerobic exercise.

Chapter 164: On-the-Spot Salvation

At the dinner table,

The wind was howling in the cold, but the several members of the Li family who were hung up made the guests attending the memorial service forget the cold.

Everyone was shocked by this sudden turn of events, but no one tried to stop it.

Ordinary mortals cannot see the veins of spiritual energy. If the traces of magic are deliberately hidden, the monks may perform magic in front of them and mortals will be completely unaware.

But Chu Wuji's qi does not belong to the category of spiritual energy. It is the condensation of qi and blood.

When the dignitaries at the banquet saw those huge hands appear out of thin air and turn into ropes to hang up the Li family, how could they dare to blame them?

They would not think that Chu Wuji was making things difficult for no reason. For a god to lower himself and condescend to deal with a mortal, there must be a reason!

Pavilion Master Fan was envious of the effectiveness of this method of using Gang Qi, and said:

"How can I use my inner energy to this extent? Even if I cast the ordinary spells I know on the street, no one would notice or even raise a voice of surprise..."

Although he had learned the skills of a god, he would not show off to ordinary people, but sometimes he would pinch his fingers in public and use magic to deal with some wandering ghosts.

People on the street couldn't see what tricks she used, so they just thought she was Pavilion Master Fan going crazy in public and whispered about her, which was very annoying!

Chu Wuji did not hang these people directly. He let them fall to the ground for the time being to give these people from the Li family a break.

We still have to consider the future reputation of Princess Jing'an. We should make things clear first and then make an example of her.

"You guys point out the mastermind!"

Li, Wen Yi and the others were on the verge of death after the sudden suffocation. They didn't even notice that they were incontinent, and the smell of feces and urine was everywhere.

The third uncle, who knew a little magic, knelt down and kowtowed, begging for mercy:

"God, I misunderstood. I didn't notice you were here. My clumsy skills have stained your eyes. Please spare my life!"

Li, whose face resembled a pig demon, was still in shock and begged for mercy, explaining:

"This is a huge misunderstanding. We would never dare to think of destroying the entire family. We are only concerned about the princess's future!"

"How dare we eat up the entire family? We can't take away the title of a prince. It's unfair..."

The members of the Li family who were kneeling on the ground to discuss the matter together, forced themselves to smile despite their crying faces:

"If the gods think the Li family's concern is unnecessary, we will just stop caring for them! We will just stop caring for them!"

Chu Wuji's eyes turned cold, and he asked back, "You're telling me this kind of green tea talk and mocking me to my face for being unreasonable? Are you planning to treat everyone to a feast?"

The Qi rope was tightened again, and the Li family member who had just spoken was hung up like a kite. Due to the excessive force, his neck was broken and his whole face turned blue and black.

Chu Wuji grabbed the clothes and coffin of Prince Jing'an from the mourning hall with an expressionless face, and threw the body in.

Li was so frightened that her face turned pale. She quickly shook the relatives sitting on the table, trying to ask them to help plead for her.

But the Li family didn't dare to say a word. This white-haired man was handsome and decent, but he was ruthless and didn't take them seriously.

Now it seems that he is discussing what is right and wrong, but in fact he is just explaining the reasons for his actions. After the explanation, he will be hanged!

Wen Yi, dressed in a Confucian robe, trembled and came to his senses. He looked at his father in panic and crawled towards the tables of the Wen family on his knees:

"Father, my second nephew...please, please plead for me."

Several younger members of the Wen family were a little frightened just now, and they quickly moved away for fear of being affected by bad luck.

He whispered, "This is what nearly wiped out our clan a while ago! No wonder we ignored our blood ties!"

Wen Yi's father, the elder of the Wen family, had a sullen face. He shuddered as he looked towards the most distinguished woman in the place and begged:

"Empress Wen, for the sake of our clan, could you please calm the gods down..."

Empress Wen did not give Father Wen a good look. Her elegant and noble face was filled with indifference.

"Father and son are guilty of the same crime, so you should die together!"

Chu Wuji didn't recognize the person. When he heard what Queen Wen said, he reached out and grabbed the old man, and Wen Yi and his son were hanging neatly in the air.

Queen Wen stood up at this time and explained:

"Do you all remember the demonic disasters in Yunhe Town and on the official road? It was all caused by Prince Jing'an. He nearly made a catastrophic mistake that implicated his entire clan! Fortunately, Yao'er's brother helped to deal with it, and the trouble was finally suppressed."

"The Wen family all wrote a letter of apology together a while ago. The Holy Queen Lihuo didn't ask for further punishment. That was her forgiveness and her consideration for Yao'er, her brother."

"You, the Li family, are Princess Jing'an's family. You say you'll take care of her, but you're really thinking about eating her out. You've made this funeral so ugly! You're even pretending to be the ghost of Prince Jing'an!"

Some members of the Li family were unaware of this. The more one participated in something like eating up the entire family, the less one would get. Only Wen Yi, who had connections with both the Wen and Li families, could participate in it.

Those members of the Li family who were unaware of the situation were afraid of being implicated, so they quickly tied up Li who was trying to escape.

Li was left with only despair at this moment. She looked at Princess Jing'an and cried loudly:

"Princess, we were like sisters when we were young. Considering our family relationship..."

Princess Jing'an hugged the little princess, covered her eyes, and shook her head.

"For the sake of our clan relationship, will you give me another chance to plot against my family next time?"

The most frightening thing about this kind of thing is being too kind and caring too much about so-called family affection.

It was obvious that those relatives were at fault first, and the punishment was justified by me. However, when other relatives and elders pleaded for mercy, I felt ashamed and guilty, thinking that I was too inconsiderate.

Seeing that everything had been said, Chu Wuji hung up all the people involved again, executed them directly, and threw them into the coffin.

Although he had been accompanying Wen Yaoer at the mourning hall before, he had sharp ears and eyes and could clearly hear which guys were plotting something, so there was no way he would kill the wrong person.

He looked at the guests at the table and said with a bow:

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you all. To prevent you from having nightmares and dreaming of evil spirits looking for you, I'm here to perform a ritual for you and give you peace of mind."

The guests had come to their senses at this point, understood what had happened, and confirmed that they would not be implicated in the incident. They were more inclined to watch the fun.

I didn’t expect that I could even receive the blessing of the gods and exorcise evil spirits?

This feeling is good!

They didn't know how to show respect to this young immortal, and had not learned the etiquette for treating immortals, so they could only bow and express their gratitude.

Chu Wuji whispered to the Fox Goddess in his arms:

"Goddess Sky Fox, please come out and help."

The Fox Goddess was very happy to eat the melon at a close distance. She blew out a breath of evil air and pulled out the ghosts of several people who had just died.

People who die violently have a chance of becoming wandering ghosts, especially on days with heavy yin energy. However, monks who are proficient in magic can directly bring out the souls of the deceased.

Under the "blessing" of the evil spirit of the Fox Goddess, several hanged ghosts floated out of the coffin.

Because of their heavy yin energy, mortal eyes can see their existence.

"The hanged man is Wen Yi and his gang!"

Before these panicked voices could spread, Chu Wuzhi had already walked over, activated his own Qi and blood to an active level, and slapped the ghosts one by one. The ghosts immediately began to emit smoke and howled in pain.

The shrill ghost cry disappeared in just a moment!

Chu Wuji said, "Okay, the ritual is over. Their souls have been scattered and they will never harass you again. You can rest assured."

The guests were stunned and looked extremely helpless in the cold wind.

"No, I thought it was a ritual to bless the ghosts and disperse them directly?"

"It seems to be fine. There's really no need to worry about bad luck. It's been cleaned up thoroughly..."

"I'm afraid we won't even have to collect the bodies."

Seeing is believing. After seeing with my own eyes how those members of the Li family disappeared so cleanly both before and after their death, I basically no longer have to worry about being visited by vengeful spirits, and I feel extremely at ease.

If you are worried about all this, you are just worrying about nothing and scaring yourself. You can't blame anyone else.

The sky was already completely dark, and snowflakes began to fall from the sky again, as if seeing off guests.

However, having witnessed Chu Wuzhi's methods and abilities, no one dared to speak rashly.

Empress Wen spoke again, giving a final word on the matter, letting everyone know that it was over and that anyone who brought it up again would be ignorant. She said:

"The Holy Empress is too lenient. Someone immediately became reckless. Tonight, let's make an example of him. The person with unclean intentions is dead. This matter is over. The peace of Prince Jing'an's mansion must not be disturbed again.

It's snowing, everyone go home, don't catch a cold!"

The guests bowed silently and left.

The younger generations of the Wen family said goodbye to Queen Wen and the little princess, said some words of greetings and comfort, and left with great relief!

They were already displeased with the Li family during the meal; their intention to take advantage was too obvious. However, the one who took the lead was Wen Yi, the son of their elder, and also had the word "Wen" in his name, so the younger generations with the same surname found it difficult to get angry.

Now it’s quiet, so I hang myself up, collect the coffin and pray for the deceased, all in one go, so smooth and refreshing that it’s scary!

The Li family was so ashamed that they had no face to stay. Despite their status as the princess's family, they did not dare to look at Princess Jing'an and Yao'er. They forced themselves to go through the formalities and quickly fled.

Pavilion Master Fan was still enjoying the banquet. After so many grand banquets over the years, this one was the most delicious and it even came with a show!

But the dishes were cold and it was boring to eat anymore. She drank a glass of wine and said:

"Do you want me to call someone over to help clean up the place and take the coffin and other things to burn?"

Chu Wuji almost wanted to burst into flames on the spot, but his ability to gather fire was not good enough to burn a corpse, which would be unlucky.

In the future, whenever I think about this, I will lose my appetite and lose some of the taste and flavor. That’s not good!

"Thank you, Pavilion Master Fan!"

"It's nothing, why thank me? Next time, can you teach me how to use the energy skillfully and freely?"

"I can't teach you this. You just learn by using it. It's not something I treasure." Chu Wuji said apologetically.

Pavilion Master Fan had great power. She gave a few instructions and soon several teams of guards came and cleaned up the place.

Not only the coffin and the mourning hall, but even the tables and chairs for the banquet were arranged.

In just half an hour, all traces of the funeral disappeared, and Prince Jing'an's Mansion returned to its former appearance.

Even though the palace at this moment is the same as it was many nights ago, what happened today cannot be treated as if it never happened.

Princess Jing'an and Queen Wen did not sleep separately. The two mature and beautiful women stayed with Yao'er and coaxed her to sleep to calm her down.

Wen Yaoer had her eyes and ears covered by Princess Jing'an the whole time, but she could still hear the many noises and was inevitably frightened.

Especially since Chu Wuji didn't care about any clan ties and just hanged himself, it still frightened the little girl.

"Mother, Aunt Queen, can you please call my brother over to accompany Yao'er?"
