MTL - I Made a Fortune By Raiding Houses In Ancient Times

Chapter 484: Heartbroken

Hearing the laughter, Qingfeng squinted and looked back.

There are not many seats on the emperor's side. Except for a few people with high enough status who were assigned seats, most of the other officials could only stand aside.

At first, everyone was looking up at the Taoist priests sitting on the altar.

Hearing the sneers, everyone glared at the person who spoke and quickly stepped aside.

He was slandering in his heart, I am afraid this loyal and diligent uncle is not a fool.

Although it is not yet known whether Princess Jiashan can win the competition, she is the princess who has been personally granted the title by the emperor anyway, and her father, King Dingyuan, master Xuanyizhen and two senior brothers are all here.

This Uncle Zhongqin is so shameless that he dares to mock in front of so many people.

Uncle Zhongqin also knew that Lingchu was no longer the down-and-out lady whose house was confiscated and could be bullied by him at will. But thinking about his daughter Guo Rong, he couldn't help but get angry.

If it hadn't been for this princess, nothing would have happened to Zhao Guogong and his wife and the eldest son of Zhao Guogong, let alone his daughter, who would not be able to become the eldest princess and would have to be a lowly concubine for Zhao Jingming.

Hence him not getting any benefit from the Zhao family.

 Thinking of this, Uncle Zhongqin became angry.

 Seeing that the other Taoist priests were on the throne but the Princess of Jiashan was not moving, he couldn't help but taunt him.

He originally thought he was hiding among the officials. Even if the princess heard it, she would not know who it was.

Unexpectedly, everyone turned away and exposed him without any mercy.

Qingfeng glared at Uncle Zhongqin coldly, not even giving him any face, "You are so good, go ahead. I must defeat those five Taoist priests, otherwise you will lose the emperor's face. I am sorry for you." Earldom."

Being humiliated in front of so many people, Uncle Zhongqin's face turned purple. However, due to his status as the crown prince of Prince Qingfengrui, he dared not speak out in anger.

Lingchu knew why Uncle Zhongqin wanted to ridicule her, but he didn't bother to pay attention.

She and the Crown Prince of Zhao had long since broken off their engagement, and had no intention of having anything to do with him or the people related to him.

Lingchu glanced briefly and then looked away.

Suddenly someone shouted, "Look, a Taoist priest is starting to do something."

Ling Chu came back to his senses and glanced at the five Taoists on the altar.

 It was discovered that the first people to start the practice were Taoist priests Mingchuan and Liucheng of Baiyun Temple.

The platform chosen by these two people is not high, only ten feet, and it happens to be one on the left and one on the right.

 Perhaps they are from the same school, and their movements are in sync. First, he took out various magical instruments from his bag and placed them on the stage. Then he lit incense and paid homage to heaven and earth before inserting them into the incense burner.

 Then he took out his long sword and started doing it.

The emperor personally led all the officials out to watch the mysterious art. The eunuchs and maids in the palace couldn't help but be curious, and they all put down their work and ran over to watch.

Lingchu's eyes fell on the two Taoist priests Mingchuan and Liucheng.

Although the moves of the two of them are only average and cannot be said to be amazing, it can be seen that their basic skills are very solid and they are not just showy tricks.

Most of the people present did not understand occult arts, but when they saw the two Taoist priests who were practicing on the high platform with solemn expressions and the long swords in their hands dancing dizzyingly, they were curious and full of admiration at the same time.

As the lengthy incantation was recited, the expressions of the two Taoist priests became more focused and the movements of their hands became faster.

The originally clear sky slowly turned gray.

Everyone has been raising their heads curiously, waiting for the wind to rise and the rain to fall.

I thought that wind and rain would be summoned soon, but a quarter of an hour later, the two Taoist priests had not finished chanting the incantation.

Although they were exhausted from keeping their heads raised and their necks raised, they saw that the emperor's expression was not the least bit impatient. No one dared to say anything, so they could only continue to look down patiently.

Just when everyone was impatient, Taoist Master Mingchuan on the left suddenly pointed his long sword toward the sky and shouted, "...Urgent like a law!"

Taoist priests Mingchuan Mingchuan and Liucheng are indeed from the same school. At this moment, the long sword in the hands of Taoist Liucheng was pointing directly at the sky.

 In an instant, a big thunder exploded high in the sky.

 Everyone's spirits were lifted.

 As the strong wind blew, raindrops also began to fall from the sky.

Many palace maids and eunuchs shouted in surprise, "Oh, it's so amazing. You can really control the wind and rain." Mingchuan and Liucheng, the two Taoist priests on the high platform, secretly breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to wipe the sweat on their foreheads. Glad I didn't screw it up.

 As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, while insiders watch the door.

The palace maids and eunuchs didn't understand, but Ling Chu, Qingfeng and others saw that the two Taoist priests had some difficulty in performing the magic at the end.

 Although calling wind and rain is not a very profound spell, not every Taoist master can do it.

But these Taoist priests Mingchuan and Liucheng are considered to have real abilities.

By the time they came down from the altar, the wind and rain had stopped.

 In order to reduce the long wait.

Taoist Priest Yunfeng and Master Wei Ran of Sanqing Mountain also took action at the same time.

The two Taoist priests in front both used magical weapons, and everyone raised their necks, waiting for the two Taoist priests to also show their magical weapons.

Unexpectedly, these two people didn't hold any magic weapons at all. They just sat cross-legged and directly raised their hands to perform the secret.

Even Ling Chu was slightly surprised.

 Although the first two Taoist priests successfully summoned wind and rain. But it took them more than a quarter of an hour, and each of them could only show the same spell, which seemed to be a bit difficult.

 But Yunfeng and Wei Ran summoned the wind and rain at the same time. Although it took a quarter of an hour, it didn't seem to be strenuous.

It can be seen that their mysterious skills are much higher than those of Mingchuan and Liucheng.

 Following him was Lu Zhenren of Yongle Palace.

This man looks ordinary, with a scruffy beard and messy half-white hair. The Taoist robes on his body were washed and turned white. If his face were not still clean, he would look like a beggar.

 The platform he chose was not high.

 No one thinks very highly of him.

Unexpectedly, Lu Zhenren has the highest magic among the five people.

 It only took him less than half a quarter of an hour to summon wind and rain at the same time.

When he came down from the altar, Uncle Zhongqin looked at Ling Chu with gloating eyes.

Although he does not understand mystical arts, it can be seen from the looks of the other four Taoist priests that Na Lu is very capable.

The five Taoist priests present all came on stage, and Lingchu was the only one left.

 Everyone's eyes turned towards her.

“Princess Jiashan, if you really can’t go up, there’s nothing wrong with just admitting defeat. After all, you’re just a hairdresser, so there’s no shame in being inferior to others…”

Uncle Zhongqin’s words seemed to be sincere, but every word hinted that Ling Chu’s mystical skills were not as good as those of the five Taoists.

Those officials who originally disapproved of Ling Chu becoming a national advisor wanted to follow Uncle Zhongqin's lead and say a few words. But seeing that the prince and Crown Prince Rui had bad expressions on their faces, they hesitated for a moment and then calmed down.

The emperor frowned when he heard Uncle Zhongqin's words.

　　　Xuan Yi’s face didn’t change much.

Uncle Zhongqin couldn't help but feel proud when he saw that Ling Chu had stopped Qingfeng who wanted to take action.

Seeing Ling Chu raise his hand to make a gesture, he was about to make a few more taunts. Unexpectedly, before he could say anything, a strong wind suddenly rolled towards him.

The strong wind came so hard and fast that before Zhongqin Bo had time to see clearly what happened, he had already fallen hard.

Dizzy, he subconsciously raised his head.

Unexpectedly, a heavy rain fell from the sky, giving him a chill...

This incident happened so quickly that everyone stared blankly at Uncle Zhongqin, who was in a state of embarrassment.

There is only one thought in my mind, the princess’s spells are so fast!
