Catching ghosts was the job of Daoists.
Mochou and Cui Hung-chien were still in a ghost relationship.
She was a demon, but she couldn't help. Siyang didn't want to care, but she suddenly thought of something.
The Ghost King wasn't just a thousand-year-old Ghost King.
The Ghost King was originally a fox demon. It was unknown why she died.
Only her soul was left. She changed from a demon to a ghost cultivator.
She even became a Ghost King.
However, she seemed to have been hurt by love.
After becoming a ghost, she was free. The Underworld had very few restrictions on a Ghost King like her.
However, she was unwilling to give up.
She thought that she had never enjoyed the warmth and love of the human world. The world was so unfair to her. Therefore, the Fox Demon Ghost King vowed to destroy all the love and love in this world.
That was why she had the hobby of stealing brides.
Mochou's wedding procession happened to pass through the Ghost King's territory. A joyous wedding was exactly what the Ghost King hated the most. Thus, he let the beautiful bride die and become a wandering ghost.
Miserable. It was as if this could satisfy the Ghost King's emotions.
In this regard, Siyang could only say... She was crazy and perverted.
Why couldn't she change? Because of the muddy water.
That was what Siyang remembered.
The Ghost King was originally a great demon.
Otherwise, how could she easily cultivate to become a Ghost King? Her achievements had a lot to do with the demon core she had preserved.
That's right. Siyang had taken a fancy to her demon core.
It was not easy to encounter a thousand-year-old great demon. If she wanted to increase her cultivation as soon as possible, she could only absorb the demon core. She could not kill recklessly. However, it was reasonable to get rid of evil. The Ghost King had persecuted many innocent humans for thousands of years. This was a great merit.
"Is this method feasible?" After the conversation in the room, Shi'er was very skeptical about the feasibility of the content.
Siyang smiled. "Anyway, the Ghost King doesn't want to catch me. You guys can do as you see fit."
Shi'er had no way to refute.
According to Mochou, the Ghost King would soon find her. Once caught, her soul would be destroyed. As Cui Hung-chien's good brother, Shi 'er couldn't just stand by and watch his brother in trouble. His cultivation was low, and he didn't dare to ask his master for help. It seemed that he could only pin his hopes on Siyang.
"Okay." Shi 'er nodded vigorously and said, "I'll go prepare it now."
Shi'er and Cui Hung-chien took Mochou away. At the same time, Xiaoqing woke up.
Xiaoqing's injuries had completely healed after taking the pill and the Cinnabar Fruit. She had been unconscious for the past few days because she was recuperating from her injuries.
Xiaoqing felt a little awkward when she saw Siyang. The two of them had almost fought on Mount Emei. In the end, Siyang had to apologize. She didn't expect that she and her sister would be of such great help to her.
Although Xiaoqing was shrewish, she was also a straightforward person who dared to love and hate. She bowed and thanked Siyang without any pretense. "Thank you for saving my life. Xiaoqing owes you several favors. In the future, no matter what you ask of me, I will not hesitate to go through water and tread on fire for you."
Bai Suzhen had given Xiaoqing a new lease on life, so their sisterhood was stronger than gold. She also remembered Siyang's life-saving grace.
"It's good that you're awake. You should hurry and go save Xu Xian with the Five Ghosts."
If Xiaoqing hadn't woken up, Siyang would have gone by herself. Now that she had her help, she could get twice the result with half the effort.
Previously, Siyang had ordered the Five Ghosts to investigate the situation. They confirmed that Xu Xian had been arrested by the people of Liang Palace and locked in the dungeon of the Prince's Mansion. Liang Wangye was preparing to pin a crime on him and kill him directly. Privately hiding tributes was a serious crime. Liang Wangye naturally wanted to keep a tight lid on this matter.
Since this was the case, Siyang would go all the way. The more the Liang Palace was afraid, the more she would cause a storm in the city. Thanks to the Five Ghosts, now the entire Lin 'an City knew that the Liang Palace had hidden the tributes to the Emperor. It was a great disrespect. With the evidence of the crime confirmed, the execution of the family was inevitable.
"Tsing Pao, we followed the instructions of our benefactor and drew the four treasures on paper. On the paper, we wrote that the Liang Palace had privately hidden tributes. We made hundreds of copies of the paper and scattered them all over the streets and alleys of Lin 'an City. I'm afraid that every household already knows about it."
Xiaoqing's face darkened. She fiercely knocked on the head of one of the Five Ghosts who spoke. "How many times have I told you, don't call me Tsing Pao. Now is not the time when I was a robber."
The Five Ghosts aggrievedly rubbed the place where he was hit and obediently changed his words. "Qing, Miss Qing …"
Siyang helplessly shook her head. "Now the entire city is in a storm. The people in the Imperial Palace must have heard the news. Liang Wangye, that old man, can kill one person, but he can't stop the rumors from spreading."
"Miss Caiyin is right. Then what should we do now?" The person that Xiaoqing trusted the most was her sister, Bai Suzhen. Now, there was one more person that she trusted, and that was Siyang.
Siyang had already planned it out. "You go to the Liang Palace and wait for an opportunity to save Xu Xian. The Five Ghosts follow me. Wait for my signal and then act."
"Okay." Xiaoqing agreed.
In fact, it was not difficult to save Xu Xian. Rescuing him from the prison of a mortal was a simple matter. However, Xu Xian was a human. They had to follow the rules of a human.
Even if they rescued him, the people of Liang Palace would still not let it go. They had power and influence. They could suppress Xu Xian and pin a crime on him. No one could do anything about it. Therefore, they had to get rid of the root cause.
The Five Ghosts had already made a big deal out of it. It was impossible to pretend to be deaf and dumb. Especially when the thing in the painting was so lifelike that it had evidence. It really was true.
When the Emperor heard about it, he summoned Liang Wangye and questioned him. Of course, the latter said that he was innocent. However, the next moment, he was slapped in the face.
The guards found four treasures in the Liang Palace. They compared them one by one and found that they were the four treasures in the painting. Not only that, the list of tributes that Liang Wangye had withheld was also found. Now, it was impossible to deny it.
Liang Wangye was bound to be punished. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiaoqing rescued Xu Xian from the dungeon of Liang Palace. She had him cry out for justice and ask the Emperor to make a decision. During this time of emergency, the Emperor also summoned him, a commoner, to confront Liang Wangye.
"Is this really okay?" The Imperial Palace was protected by the Emperor's Qi of the True Dragon. A fairy like Xiaoqing could not enter. She could only wait anxiously outside.
Siyang accompanied her and nodded carelessly. He comforted her, "Don't worry, Xu Xian will be safe and sound."
While Xiaoqing was waiting for orders in the Liang Palace, Siyang saw Liang Wangye enter the palace. He had the Five Ghosts confuse the guards in Lin'an and search the Liang Palace. At that time, the four treasures were returned. The evidence was conclusive.
"But, in the end, I stole the treasures. If Liang Wangye goes back on his words and does not let go … I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to escape." Xiaoqing was very worried.
Si Yang wasn't worried about this. She leaned against the wall outside the palace gates and calmly said, "Prince Liang has experienced two dynasties and has made illustrious contributions. His Majesty is well aware of all the little tricks he has been up to these past few years. It is also because of his past achievements that he is not fussed over. If he is smart, he will know how to choose. If he continues to be stubborn, His Majesty will not be merciful to him."
As Siyang expected, Liang Wangye pleaded guilty. Because of their past relationship, the Emperor forgave him. Although there was no heavy punishment, he used old age as an excuse to let him retire and return to his hometown. Naturally, he was removed from his throne. Of course, not exterminating his entire family was already showing mercy.
Xu Xian was acquitted and released. Furthermore, the Emperor was very kind and allowed him to return to his hometown in Hangzhou without having to distribute them in Suzhou.
Coincidentally, when Siyang, Xiaoqing, and the Five Ghosts brought Xu Xian back to Suzhou, Bai Suzhen also appeared from Pao'an Hall.
"This time, it is all thanks to benefactor." Bai Suzhen was endlessly grateful to Siyang. "That day, I was tangled up with Fa Hai and was almost taken away by him. Fortunately, Guanyin Bodhisattva saved me. I went to Lin'an but did not hear any news from you. When I came back to find you, you were not in Suzhou. Fortunately, Xiaoqing left me a letter, so I waited for you here."
A series of coincidences caused Bai Suzhen to be mentally and physically exhausted. Now that she saw everyone safe and sound, she was truly relieved.
"The process was truly tortuous." Siyang did not sympathize with Bai Suzhen and the others. "That day, I told White Sister to use human methods to help Xu Xian. You had to use other methods to end up like this."
Bai Suzhen had no words to refute.
"It is all my fault. I did not listen to elder sister's advice." Xiaoqing was full of self-blame. She bit her lip and said in a low voice, "If I had not been so rash, these things would not have happened and caused elder sister to be targeted by that bald donkey, Fa Hai."
Fa Hai wanted to fight to the death with Bai Suzhen. Siyang was also helpless. She was more curious about another matter. "At this point, you are still hiding things from Xu Xian?"
She didn't know if it was because Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing were too good at deceiving people or because Xu Xian was too stupid. This time, Bai Suzhen dismissed him with a few words. He actually did not suspect his wife. After they met, one thing after another happened. It was fortunate that Xu Xian was so easy to deceive.
"This …" Bai Suzhen's expression was difficult. She sighed and said, "Once, I showed my true form and scared him to death. Now, how would I dare to mention these things again? If he …"
Bai Suzhen was afraid.
"You decide for yourself. However, the grudge between you and Fa Hai still exists. Now, Wenqu Star can protect you, but it is hard to predict what will happen in the future."
Xiaoqing really did not have a good impression of Fa Hai. She snorted and said, "That old bald donkey, my elder sister came to the mortal world under the guidance of Guanyin Bodhisattva. We have never harmed anyone. Why should he take us in?"
"What if you harm someone?" Siyang asked ambiguously.
Xiaoqing did not even think. "Impossible, my elder sister …"
"Xiaoqing." Bai Suzhen interrupted her. She turned to look at Siyang with a serious expression. "Benefactor, can you give me some advice?"
With the previous warning, Bai Suzhen felt that the meaning of Siyang's words was not simple.
Siyang could not directly tell Bai Suzhen that she would flood Jinshan Temple and cause tens of thousands of sins. Not to mention whether she would believe it or not, such a hint would be too overboard. He was afraid that it would attract attention.
"Do you remember the oath you made back then?"
Bai Suzhen frowned. "Oath?"
"You only need to remember that you came to the mortal world to repay a debt of gratitude, not to hurt people for your personal feelings." Siyang could only say so much.
Just as Bai Suzhen was struggling to understand the specific meaning of these words, Siyang's expression changed slightly. She raised her hand and pinched her fingers. She sensed something strange and said to Qing and Bai, "I have something to do.
"I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave for now. See you again."
