The four eunuchs even threw away the unlit lanterns in their hands and fled in panic.
The one who fell to the ground wanted to shout.
He wanted to say that he was not a ghost.
A ghost was beside them.
However, the only thing that came out of his mouth was a blood-curdling scream. Under the flickering light of the lanterns, it wasn't just his legs that were starting to disappear. His waist and his entire body started to cave in and deflate. His flesh and blood had already completely disappeared at some point in time. His entire body was only left with an inflated bag of bones.
What was more frightening was that he was completely conscious throughout the entire process.
Even until the end, he was still screaming in agony.
The commotion had attracted many eunuchs who rushed over with torches.
"What's going on?"
A senior eunuch led a group of eunuchs and stopped the four eunuchs who were running away.
"There's a ghost! There's a ghost! "The four eunuchs stumbled into the crowd and pointed behind them.
Their voices were filled with fear.
The eunuchs were in an uproar.
When Li Chunfeng did those things during the day, he was basically certain that there was a ghost in the palace. Now that the four eunuchs were screaming, it made the eunuchs' hair stand on end.
"What are you afraid of?" The senior eunuch scolded. "Have you forgotten about the Nine Heavens Dark Sun Formation? Come, follow me. "
The group of eunuchs carefully walked to the place where the ghost was, holding many lanterns and shining them on the ground.
Hiss —
Countless people sucked in a sharp breath.
What was this?
This was a terrifying corpse.
He was wearing a eunuch's uniform, but he was only skin and bones. His eye sockets were empty. It was extremely terrifying!
"Quick! Quickly inform Daoist Li! "The head eunuch hurriedly shouted.
"Ah —!" A scream suddenly came from the group of eunuchs.
This gave everyone, who was already tense, a huge fright.
"What's wrong?" Even the senior eunuch's voice was weak.
"The ghost, the ghost is among us." The junior eunuch's voice was trembling. "Just now, the four of us ran over. If one of us dies here, there will be one more."
"What?" All of a sudden, everyone was shocked.
They quickly dispersed and looked around with lanterns in their hands. They felt their hair stand on end, as if they were surrounded by ghosts.
Suddenly, a eunuch fell to the ground and pressed his palm against a stone.
Puff!
The nervous crowd shone the lanterns over and saw that the man was deflating like a fish bladder. The skin on his face and hands quickly stuck to his bones. The thick clothes on his body also flattened, but he was still screaming miserably.
This terrifying scene instantly tore apart everyone's taut nerves.
"Ghost!"
"Ghost!"
"Run!"
Screams resounded throughout the Imperial Palace in the middle of the night.
Li Shimin, who was originally sleeping, was also awakened.
"What happened?" he shouted in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty," a guard's voice came from the door. "It's a eunuch from the palace. He's shouting in panic that there's a ghost."
Ghosts?
Hearing these two words, Li Shimin could not help but shrink back.
"Your Majesty, get dressed first." Empress Zhangsun hurriedly reminded him. "Then invite Taoist Li."
"Yes, send someone to invite Taoist Li!" Li Shimin shouted loudly. He turned over and quickly put on his casual clothes. He also pulled out his sword beside the bed and pushed the door open with Empress Zhangsun.
At this time, there was already a panic in the Imperial Palace.
Even here, they could hear the screams.
And at this time.
A eunuch stumbled as he ran towards them.
In the light of the fire, he shouted with a frightened face, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty …"
"Halt your steps! Don't come close! "
A guard captain had drawn his bow and arrow and aimed at the eunuch.
Originally, there were only eunuchs and women in the Imperial Harem. There were no guards, let alone swords, spears, bows and arrows. At this time, the situation was special. Li Shimin pulled in one of his guards to protect him.
At this moment, he was glad of his decision.
Seeing the eunuch was still approaching, the guard captain aimed at the eunuch's leg and shot.
Puff!
In everyone's eyes, the eunuch was constantly deflated. His whole body deflated, and in a flash, he was like a skeleton.
Even so.
He still raised his withered hand and kept crawling over, screaming in horror.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Such a terrifying and sinister scene gave everyone a huge fright.
Many people subconsciously exclaimed.
These guards were all Qi and Blood cultivators. They had fought on the battlefield and would not be shaken at all no matter how bloody they were. But who had seen such a strange and horrible scene?
A person without flesh and blood, not even blood, could still move and speak loudly?
"Protect His Majesty!" The guard captain shot a few more arrows. This time, the arrow directly shot through the eunuch's head.
The eunuch was nailed to the ground.
Finally, he stopped moving.
But Li Shimin was also scared. His face was slightly pale. He protected Empress Zhangsun with one hand and held the long sword with the other.
Seeing it on paper was different from seeing it with his own eyes. This strange scene was far beyond his imagination.
But it was also at this moment.
A group of people hurried over from not far away.
It was Li Chunfeng and a group of Taoist priests.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being late." Li Chunfeng did not get too close. He stood far away and said.
Li Shimin's eyes lit up. No matter what, Li Chunfeng's appearance made him feel slightly relieved.
"Taoist Priest Li, what's going on?" Li Shimin pointed at the eunuch on the ground. "Didn't you say that ghosts have nowhere to hide?"
Li Chunfeng took a closer look and sucked in a breath of cold air.
He rushed over after hearing the screams.
But it was only now that he realized what had happened.
Even he himself was a little uncertain. The large array he had set up was completely according to the instructions in the ancient book.
After all, he had never seen a ghost before.
"Your Majesty, did you sleep well before this?" Li Chunfeng looked at Li Shimin.
"I slept for a while." Li Shimin nodded.
"This means that the formation should be effective." Li Chunfeng heaved a sigh of relief. "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I've brought a large number of talismans and the Nine Heavens Black Sun Formation. If that evil ghost dares to come …"
Before he could finish, a gust of chilly wind blew.
The torches flickered in the wind, and it was unusually cold.
It was as if the clothes on his body were useless. It was a piercing coldness that penetrated deep into his bones. Even Li Shimin could not help but shudder.
Just like that, the temperature suddenly began to drop rapidly.
