As soon as Clove finished speaking, Shen Yi's expression changed slightly.
It seemed like a coincidence.
Shen Yi also heard what the old eunuch said. Four days ago, a young eunuch died in the palace. He froze to death in the middle of the night after being punished by flogging.
But this kind of thing happened a lot in this era.
As for the probability of ghosts appearing, it was still relatively low at the moment.
It couldn't be so coincidental.
Shen Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to see something from the future, but soon gave up.
"I can't see too far into the future … What a headache."
Ever since he was able to see the future, this ability had brought Shen Yi a lot of convenience. However, in this world, he could only see one or two days into the future at most. The rest of it was just fragmented fragments that were complicated and ever-changing.
Especially now that he realized that even in these two days, it was starting to become unclear.
Regarding this special situation, Shen Yi actually had a rough guess in his heart.
But he had to wait until later to confirm it.
However, he still saw some interesting things.
On the night of the second day.
Li Shimin's insomnia didn't get better. Instead, it got worse. Even when he slept for a short while, he would be awakened by nightmares.
So he was very tired.
"Your Majesty, why don't you summon Li Chunfeng and Daoist Li from the Imperial Astronomer to the palace?" Empress Zhangsun felt sorry for her husband and suggested, "Daoist Li is the disciple of Daoist Zhiyuan from the Calm Cloud Temple in Nantuo Mountain. He has a high cultivation base at such a young age. Maybe he can help."
Li Shimin hesitated for a while, but finally nodded.
If this continued.
Even if he had a certain amount of Qi and cultivation base, he might not be able to take it.
So, Li Chunfeng entered the palace.
Li Chunfeng was only twenty-seven years old. He wore a black robe and had a goatee. He had a dignified appearance and looked like a Daoist.
Just by looking at Li Shimin's appearance, he seemed to have guessed what was going on.
He looked hesitant.
"What do you want to say? Just say it." Li Shimin's mental state was very bad.
With his cultivation base, it shouldn't be so bad if he didn't sleep for two days.
However, the problem was that his mental state was tense and he had nightmares. It was too torturous.
"Your Majesty, are you worried about the ghosts in Luoyang?" Li Chunfeng cupped his hands and asked.
"Oh?" Li Shiming narrowed his eyes, "Everyone knows about what happened in Luoyang City?"
Even though he knew that such a huge commotion would definitely spread quickly, he still didn't know what to do.
However, it had only been two days, and Fang Xuanling had not even returned yet.
Had the news spread throughout Chang 'an?
"Your Majesty, the descent of the Immortals has become the most important matter of our Daoism." Li Chunfeng cupped his fists again and said in a neither humble nor overbearing manner, "All the Daoist seniors have left the mountain to search for the immortal. Even my master has probably left the mountain and is heading to Luoyang."
"Sure, sure."
Li Shimin laughed instead.
However, only he himself knew how much of a smile there was in his laughter.
Shen Yi, who was also watching this scene from high up in the sky, also noticed something.
First of all, although Li Chunfeng was respectful to Li Shimin, he was not afraid of him.
Secondly, as an official of the Tang Dynasty's Imperial Astronomer, Li Chunfeng addressed himself as a humble Daoist in front of Li Shimin.
Furthermore, Li Shimin's reaction at this moment.
The Daoist sects in this world were probably very powerful.
Shen Yi was deep in thought, but he could also imagine that this was a world where a certain cultivation system existed, and the strength of an individual was more prominent to a greater extent. If there were many powerful cultivators in the Daoist sects, their strength and status would be hard to determine.
At this moment.
Li Shimin didn't seem to want to talk about this issue.
He asked directly, "I've been feeling a little gloomy in the palace recently, and it's hard for me to sleep. Daoist Priest Li, your Daoist skills are superb. Can you solve it?"
Although his tone was normal, his words were obviously a little harsh for an emperor.
However, Li Chunfeng's expression didn't change.
"Your Majesty, has anyone died in the palace recently?"
Li Shimin didn't reply.
He naturally couldn't reveal that he couldn't sleep because of the death of a little eunuch.
He only glanced at the old eunuch on the other side.
"Daoist Li." The old eunuch understood and took a step forward. "There are many people in the palace, and accidents are inevitable. However, in the past few days, only a little eunuch caught a cold and died."
"Did he die at night?" Li Chunfeng asked again.
"Yes," the old eunuch replied.
"Did he have any resentment before he died?" Li Chunfeng asked again.
"This …" The old eunuch didn't know how to answer.
"Your Majesty." Li Chunfeng didn't continue asking. Instead, he looked at Li Shimin with a worried expression. "Recently, ghosts have been happening in many places. These ghosts all had resentment when they were alive, and they all died in the middle of the night."
"What you mean is …" Li Shimin's eyes turned dangerous. "There are ghosts in my palace?"
"I'm not sure." Li Chunfeng shook his head and said, "But I've looked through the books for the past few days and found that there is indeed a saying that these are vengeful spirits. They kill people and are extremely cruel."
Li Chunfeng didn't seem to notice Li Shimin's gaze. He even emphasized the last few words.
Shen Yi, who had been watching this scene, had a strange expression on his face.
Was Li Chunfeng trying to scare Li Shimin, or did he really look through the books and found something related to the evil spirits? Or was it just a coincidence?
Shen Yi didn't know much about the end of the world.
He didn't know the nature of the evil spirits and the reason for their appearance.
Most importantly, he didn't know.
The reason why fate was broken like this.
Therefore, he couldn't help but be curious.
At this moment, Li Shimin stared into the eyes of the young prodigy of the Taoist Sect as if he wanted to see something.
But in the end, he asked slowly, "The Taoist Sect is indeed powerful. Have you found a way to solve this problem?"
"I can give it a try." Li Chunfeng cupped his hands and said solemnly.
"Alright." Li Shimin nodded.
Now, not only did he want to solve his insomnia problem, but he also wanted to see if the Taoist Sect had any means to deal with ghosts.
Shen Yi wanted to see it too.
Therefore, on this day, Li Chunfeng set up an altar at the place where the young eunuch died. He prepared chicken blood, beast blood, and all kinds of talismans.
It caused a huge commotion.
The eunuchs and palace maids in the palace were all chased to other places to watch from afar.
All of them looked terrified.
Obviously, the news that there was a ghost in the palace had spread without anyone noticing. Li Chunfeng's actions seemed to confirm the rumor.
