MTL - All Over the World To Save My Wife-Chapter 126 Swordsman and Exorcist (12)
================================
Qingxi Taoist Temple, located in the suburbs of Wangdu.
Most of the people in Wangcheng go to this nearest Taoist temple.
The royal family has always had the practice of going to worship, and it is not surprising that the queen goes out of the palace.
"Should the National Teacher's House also accompany you?"
I don't know what to think, Gu Zhong asked again.
"Naturally, Master was still healthy at the time, and he personally went there. With him, how could the queen bring the demon back to the palace?"
"Why are there demons in the palace?"
Gu Zhong glanced at him with a half-smile.
"Maybe...Maybe, that demon—has been dormant in the palace for many years...or—when did he sneak in..."
Guo Shifu is responsible for the safety of the palace. In any case, this matter is a dereliction of duty by the Guoshifu.
"So, if you really want to find out why the queen is haunted by demons, you must go to the Taoist temple?"
Ling Yan did not resist Gu Zhong's conjecture much, but seemed eager to try.
"Are you going to make trouble for yourself?"
I don't know when, Ling Ying appeared at the door, he looked at several people with a reluctant expression.
"Isn't the slaying of the demons over? What are the benefits of getting to the bottom of it?"
He shrugged, clearly disapproving of their decision.
Although he was reluctant to admit that it was the omission of the National Teacher's Office that caused the tragic scene in the palace, Chu Cheng still held the belief that he had done his best to eliminate demons.
"You don't have to go if you don't want to, just eat, drink and have fun here every day."
Ling Yan gave him a contemptuous look, but instead agitated Ling Ying.
"Who said I won't go!? Go, who's afraid?"
Ling Ying, who was leaning lazily on the door frame, stood up instantly, like a cat with fried fur.
"Ling Ying..."
Ling Yan suddenly called him again.
"What?"
Ling Ying responded impatiently.
"Last night, your spells seem to have improved a lot?"
Looking at him as always, a trace of suspicion appeared in Ling Yan's eyes.
"What? Can't I be better? Are you looking down on me?"
Ling Ying jumped her feet immediately, her face full of anger.
"It's good that you know, after all, some people have not made progress for a few years apart from clamoring to teach me a lesson all day long. It seems that this time out has made you break through the bottleneck."
Ling Yan has no psychological burden to attack Ling Ying, after all, the two have never been used to dealing with them.
During this period of time, we worked together to slay demons and eliminate demons.
"Ling Yan, have you been beaten enough, and want to fight again?"
Ling Ying rolled up her sleeves and seemed to really plan to have another fight with her regardless of Ling Yan being in bed.
"Hugh!"
Chu Cheng quickly stopped in front of him.
"Humph!"
Faced with Chu Cheng's obstruction, Ling Ying's face was full of displeasure, she turned her head angrily, and did not make any more noise.
"I'll go to Qingxi Road to see it later."
Seeing the end of the childish dispute between the two, Gu Zhong took a deep look at Ling Yan, then turned his eyes to Ling Yan and said.
"You? What about me?"
Keenly aware of the difference in Gu Chong's words, Ling Yan immediately asked unhappily.
"You go back to the inn first and take good care of yourself."
Gu Zhong emphasized the pronunciation of the word inn.
"The condition of the National Teacher's House is better, why go back to the inn?"
Chu Cheng couldn't understand Gu Zhong's thoughts.
Due to his distrust of Senior Brother Lu, Gu Zhong was not worried that Ling Yan would stay alone in this complicated state teacher's mansion.
If these doubts are spoken, Chu Cheng, who has filled the filter of the National Teacher's House, will have to quarrel with her again.
"I'm fine, I'm going too!"
At this time, Ling Yan's willful eldest lady's character appeared again.
"Why, is there a safer place than yours?"
Seeing that Gu Zhong frowned slightly, he was about to say something when Ling Yan hurriedly said.
Just one sentence left Gu Zhong speechless.
Wangcheng is an unfamiliar place to Ling Yan, and Ling's family members are not here, leaving Gu Zhong and leaving her alone, no matter where she is, it is indeed not enough to be reassuring.
As long as she no longer encounters the demons in the palace who have special abilities and can even suppress Gu Zhong inexplicably, Gu Zhong can ensure that Ling Yan will not hurt a single hair again.
"Good."
As soon as his thoughts changed, Gu Zhong agreed.
"Miss Ling—your injury is not healed—"
Chu Cheng opened his mouth regularly, he was quite worried about Ling Yan's behavior of ignoring his own safety, but he had no position to persuade or decide.
"I've made up my mind, don't be too long-winded."
Ling Yan covered her ears and made it clear that she would not listen to any persuasion.
Ling Ying rolled her eyes, put her hand on Chu Cheng's shoulder, and said with a smile.
Therefore, it was originally the act of taking care of Zhong to enter the Taoist temple alone, but it evolved into a matter of four people going to Qingxi Taoist temple to play and outing.
—
A Taoist temple with plenty of incense may enshrine one or two slayers to defend against the demons who might break the seal of the Taoist temple and sneak into it, but most Taoist temples do not have it.
Qingxi Taoist Temple is the nearest Taoist temple to Wangcheng, and it is naturally the most prosperous.
Although there is no shortage of incense and money to enshrine the magician, but the king has the protection of the national teacher's house, but there is no need to do more.
And most of the people who come to offer incense are ordinary people with no advantages. There will be slayers who use Taoist temples as a resting place to walk the world, but only occasionally.
The sincere believer knelt on the pad of rushes and whispered.
The burning incense candles were turned into ashes and sprinkled in the incense burner.
The lingering smoke rose everywhere, obscuring the huge statue standing in the hall.
At first glance, the statue was an old man in black clothes, with a kind face, long beard and beautiful temples, and there was an awe-inspiring and inviolable majesty between his eyebrows.
This is the nameless ancestor who is respected as the ancestor of the slayer.
Chu Cheng, Ling Yan, and Ling Ying, when they saw this statue, immediately stood up in awe, stepped forward and worshipped for a few times.
The only exception here is that she only cares about the importance.
Strange, he suppressed the rebuke that rushed to his mouth.
"You are too disrespectful to the patriarch, aren't you?"
Ling Yan didn't think as much as Chu Cheng, but she wasn't too angry with Gu Zhong's performance, so she laughed frankly.
"—acting as if he were your life-and-death enemy."
This sentence was said by Ling Yan in a low voice and came to Gu Zhong's ear.
Hearing her words, Gu Zhong glanced at her in surprise, then replied softly.
"In a way, maybe..."
Ling Yan blinked, not seeming to understand Gu Zhong's answer.
"Can you see the awakening style today?"
On the other side, Ling Ying's exclamation interrupted Ling Yan's questioning.
"What's so weird?"
Chu Cheng plucked out his ears, expressing that he could not empathize with Ling Ying's fuss.
"We only meet once a year with us."
Ling Ying's words were full of envy.
Awakening ceremony is a ritual used to awaken children's magic talent after magic appears in this continent.
For people of this age, this is a life-defining ritual.
"Maybe because the capital is rich in resources? So it is held once a month, and we just happened to catch up today..."
Chu Cheng was patient and explained to Ling Ying, a country bumpkin who just entered the city.
Ceremonies are difficult for even aristocratic families to hold easily. In addition to the huge expenditure and careful consideration, the material used to enlighten the spirit is the most rare - it is a kind of wine red called sobering liquid liquid.
It is also ridiculous to say that things that are associated with demons are actually the foundation of creating a demon slayer, and I don’t know how this demon slayer found such an incredible connection.
Take a sip of the wake-up liquid and let them drink it.
Seeing the children drink the contents of the cup with their wrinkled and tender faces as if they were drinking extremely bitter Chinese medicine, they carefully moved their footsteps and seemed to want to step forward.
"That thing, I don't want to drink it a second time in my life, it's too unpleasant to drink, and typhoid medicine is many times better than it."
At this time, Ling Yan lowered her voice and complained dissatisfiedly to Gu Zhong about the painful past of being forced to drink the awakening liquid. Gu Zhong listened carefully, and laughed lightly from time to time.
The child who drank the wake-up liquid soon began to tumble on the ground in discomfort, wailing like a beast.
The adults present seemed to be accustomed to this scene, and no one had the intention of going to help, but instead looked towards the field with anticipation.
After a while, a child staggered to his feet, and a gust of wind was blowing around him.
The crowd exclaimed and congratulated, there is no doubt that this child has successfully awakened.
They immediately turned their attention to the remaining children in the field, but they were a little disappointed by the result. The remaining children did not respond, they were just ordinary people.
"Several, looks like they are magicians?"
An old man in a Taoist robe walked up to them, bowed respectfully and greeted them.
