Chapter 468 This woman is a jinx!
Nalan Yunyan shouted angrily, "Tell him to come out! Why should I go in?"
The young Taoist priest was clearly aware of Nalan Yunyan's unreasonable and argumentative nature, so he could only respectfully say, "Immortal Master will be entering the alchemy room soon. If Your Highness does not wish to go in, then once you have entered the alchemy room, we will have to ask Your Highness to return."
"You!" Nalan Yunyan angrily cracked her whip and stomped her foot reluctantly.
Master Yunfeng gave the young Taoist boy a wink, and the boy understood. After the two of them crossed the threshold and went inside, he had someone bring Lu Yangyang in as well.
Lu Yangyang burst into tears at the opportune moment, "Where are you taking me?"
Nalan Yunyan immediately turned around, walked over, and kicked the young Taoist boy: "This is my person, do you hear me! Make her follow me, or we're not done today!"
The young Taoist priest was helpless. He originally wanted to take the opportunity to secretly send the girl away, so that no matter how much Nalan Yunyan made a fuss, it would be useless. He did not expect that she would protect the girl so much.
Oh well, it'll only be for a short while anyway.
The young Taoist immediately replied, "Then we'll take him with us to see the Immortal Master."
Nalan Yunyan snorted, then seemed satisfied and followed them into the main hall.
After passing through the main hall where the statues of the gods are enshrined, going around to the backyard, and passing through two more gates, we finally arrived at the place of Master Shangqing.
The young Taoist and Immortal Master Yunfeng immediately bowed respectfully to Daoist Master Shangqing, saying, "Greetings, Immortal Master, the Empress has arrived."
Lu Yangyang glanced at it discreetly.
He was a thin old man with white hair and a youthful face. His hair was completely white, but his face had few wrinkles. He had his eyes slightly closed, giving him an unfathomable appearance.
Hearing the young Taoist's voice, he didn't open his eyes immediately, but waited until Nalan Yunyan impatiently called out, "Hey!"
Master Shangqing slowly opened his eyes, looking calmly at Nalan Yunyan, and asked in a slow and calm voice, "What brings you here, Your Highness?"
"Ha," Nalan Yunyan laughed in anger, "Are you deaf or blind? You've already become an immortal, and you don't know why I'm here? I just need someone, and your bunch of blind fools are making trouble for me. What do you mean? Tell me, what do you mean? I'm telling you, I've had enough! You immediately, right now, bring the Crown Prince back and let him see if this is how you treat me? Is it so hard for me to get someone now?"
Master Shangqing's gaze swept over Lu Yangyang, his seemingly calm eyes momentarily pausing. His fingers flew across the paper as he performed calculations. After a moment, he spoke solemnly.
"This woman is a jinx, born to bring misfortune to her family. She is possessed by a demon, and anyone who gets close to her will surely suffer misfortune."
Upon hearing this, both the young Taoist boy and Master Yunfeng subconsciously moved a few steps to the side.
Lu Yangyang: "..."
No, why does this sound so familiar? Who was the last person to call her a jinx?
If an ordinary person heard these words, they would have been terrified long ago. But Lu Yangyang was completely unmoved by reason, and Nalan Yunyan didn't understand this.
Master Yunfeng knelt down and asked excitedly, "Immortal Master, Immortal Master, what should we do if such a monstrous creature remains in the world? Won't it cause a great disaster, and those around him will also suffer a bad end?"
Nalan Yunyan kicked him immediately: "Shut your stinking mouth! What nonsense are you spouting, this 'cursing star and demon' stuff? I don't understand. Don't talk to me about that. Just one question: are you going to give this person to me or not?"
Lu Yangyang almost burst out laughing at Nalan Yunyan's shameless behavior.
She could clearly see the unfathomable Shangqing Immortal, whose mustache twitched slightly involuntarily.
He continued in a profound and enigmatic tone, “Amitabha, such a calamity star is born to be entangled with evil spirits and must not be allowed to remain in the world. However, Heaven has the virtue of cherishing life and will not wantonly commit acts of killing. Although this woman is a calamity star, her fate is not insurmountable. As long as she is in the Seven Star Array and receives Taoist magic for forty-nine days, her fate can be modified and the evil spirits on her body can be removed.”
Nalan Yunyan's eyebrows shot up. "Can't you speak like a human being? What exactly do you mean? I just want a person, why are you spouting so much nonsense?"
Master Shangqing's expression visibly stiffened for a moment.
Lu Yangyang clenched her fists tightly, afraid that she would actually laugh out loud.
That day, the conversation was so bad that it was impossible to continue.
Just then, the young Taoist boy entered and respectfully said, "Immortal Master, the vegetarian meal is ready. Would you like it brought in?"
Master Shangqing sighed softly: "Your Majesty, I have been entrusted to look after you. If Your Majesty wishes to have someone accompany you, I will naturally grant your request. However, this woman is truly special. If her fate is not changed and the demon on her body is not removed, keeping her by Your Majesty's side will surely cause Your Majesty to become weak and die. I earnestly hope that Your Majesty will be cautious and wait until I have performed the ritual to remove the demon before sending her to Your Majesty's side."
"So you agreed, right? Well, I'm hungry too, so I'll take her with me and go back for dinner." Nalan Yunyan came up and pulled Lu Yangyang to leave.
Master Shangqing's brow twitched violently. So he doesn't listen to anyone at all?
Two young Taoist boys immediately stepped forward and stopped the man.
Nalan Yunyan retorted, "What do you mean?"
The young Taoist boy brought in the vegetarian meal, moved a table and a prayer mat in front of Master Shangqing, and arranged the meal.
Master Shangqing raised his hand and said to Nalan Yunyan, "Your Majesty is hungry, please have a vegetarian meal before you leave."
Lu Yangyang glanced at the vegetarian meal and realized that after wasting so much time talking, they decided to just knock the person unconscious.
Nalan Yunyan wasn't really that stupid. She raised an eyebrow and said condescendingly, "You think I'll just eat whatever you tell me to? What if you poisoned me? Here's what we'll do: I'm too lazy to argue with you. You each take a bite, and I'll eat it too. After I'm done, I'll take the person away. Otherwise, what if you're lying to me?"
Somewhat clever, but not much.
However, this was exactly what Master Shangqing and his group wanted—to knock her unconscious without actually doing anything to her. After all, she had a special identity, and if they did, it would be difficult to explain later.
So, Master Shangqing reached out and took a cup of tea, took a sip, and then glanced at Master Yunfeng.
Master Yunfeng immediately stepped forward, picked up a small plate of snacks, and distributed them to the young Taoist disciples, one for each of them.
Nalan Yunyan then pulled Lu Yangyang to kneel on the prayer mat as well. She took a cup of tea for herself, as well as the same small snacks as Daoist Yunfeng, and casually slipped one to Lu Yangyang.
Lu Yangyang knelt down behind Nalan Yunyan with her head bowed and put the pastry in her mouth. But as soon as the pastry entered her mouth, her fingertips trembled slightly. No, Pei Ji's efficiency is really strong. The laxative was brought over so quickly.
She forced herself to chew, while secretly reaching for the needle hidden in her sleeve and inserting it into an acupuncture point.
Then, pretending to accidentally fall on top of Nalan Yunyan, he swiftly stabbed her in the neck while everyone was distracted, knocking her unconscious. Nalan Yunyan then screamed in terror.
"Ah—Your Majesty, Your Majesty, why have you fainted!"
