Ji Yuan had some feeling that the old turtle had already arrived at Tongtian River. He originally estimated that it would take three to four days, which was already considered based on the old turtle's respect for him. He did not expect that the old turtle would arrive in just over two days. It seemed that he really regarded it as a top priority and rushed here in a hurry.
However, it was one thing that Ji Yuan knew about this, and Tongtian River was still prepared to inform Ji Yuan. Even though the current manager of Tongtian River believed that Ji Yuan might have known that the old turtle had arrived, the necessary notification was still required.
Now, not only the Dragon King, but even the River Goddess and His Highness Ying Feng are not in the Water Palace. The Tongtian River is managed by several Yaksha commanders. They first placed the old turtle at the bottom of the river outside Zhuangyuan Ferry, and then one of the Yaksha commanders went ashore directly and headed to Jingji Prefecture to meet Ji Yuan.
On this day, a Yaksha leader went out of the river, transformed into a warrior and entered Gyeonggi Prefecture, then went all the way to Rong'an Street and arrived outside Yin Mansion. Even though the Yaksha leader who served the Dragon Lord and the Righteous God of the River in Tongtian River was quite accomplished, he still felt a heavy pressure when he arrived outside Yin Mansion.
In the perception of the Yaksha Commander, the mighty righteousness of the Yin Mansion was like waves that kept beating against his heart, and it was also like a mountain that was about to crush him. If he himself was not a righteous demon and had not been influenced by the divine light of the God of Rivers for a long time, he would probably not be able to withstand the pressure and run away, or he would simply be swept away by the mighty righteousness and suffer a great loss in his cultivation, or even collapse.
Seeing a big man who looked like a warrior frequently looking up at the sky outside the mansion, one of the guards at the gate of Yin Mansion immediately stepped forward to ask.
"This is the Prime Minister's residence. Who is staying here?"
Upon hearing this, the Yaksha Commander woke up from the illusion brought about by the righteous energy and quickly saluted the guards.
"My name is Ye, and I come from Tongtian River. I would like to trouble you to pass a message to Mr. Ji in the mansion, telling him that Mr. Wu has arrived."
"Looking for Mr. Ji?"
The guard was slightly stunned, knowing that there were not many people like Mr. Ji temporarily staying in the mansion.
"Yes, please report this to me. I have other things to do and I don't want to stay in the city for long, so I will leave first."
In fact, when he got here and said this, Yaksha understood that Mr. Ji must have known about it, so he didn't plan to disturb Mr. Ji anymore. The key point was that it was really difficult to enter the Yin Mansion, and the pressure was too great.
The guard wanted to say something, but then he turned and walked away. Judging from his pace, he must be a skilled martial artist. In a short time, he was already far away, and it was impossible to catch up with him. In this case, the guards looked at each other, and only one person went into the mansion to report to Ji Yuan.
However, very important matters were actually taking place inside the Yin Mansion, and the situation in the rear of the Yin Mansion was of concern to Dazhen Yang.
Ji Yuan was still sitting in the yard, but the two children from the Yin family did not come today. The guard hurried to the guest room in the backyard and saw Ji Yuan playing chess alone on the board. He saluted from a distance and said softly.
"Mr. Ji, a warrior just came to see you outside. He said he was from Tongtian River, but he didn't say whether he was from the south bank or the west bank. He asked me to bring you a message saying that Mr. Wu has arrived."
Ji Yuan held the piece in his hand as if thinking. After a few breaths, he seemed to react and turned to nod towards the guard.
"Okay, thanks for letting me know, go ahead and get busy."
"Yes, I'll take my leave!"
The guard wanted to ask Ji Yuan about his master's condition, but he opened his mouth and held back. Although there was no strict rule in the mansion not to disturb Mr. Ji, it was basically an unspoken rule.
Ji Yuan held a white piece in his hand and looked at the chessboard, as if he could see the world and mountains and rivers. However, both the scenery in his eyes and the scenery in his heart were still superficial. The various changes in his thoughts that evolved with the chess game might be the real situation. At the same time, Ji Yuan was also paying attention to the rear of Yin's Mansion.
At this moment, in the courtyard where Yin Zhaoxian's house was located, Du Changsheng, wearing a robe and with a serious face, all three disciples were present and set up an altar in the courtyard, on which were all kinds of offerings such as incense, candles, ritual instruments, and even two strange plants in two pots.
One was a ginseng plant, with red ropes wrapped around the stem, and the other end of the red ropes were wrapped around a few copper locks on the table; the other was a red flower, which was not wrapped with anything, but had a faint fluorescent light emanating from the flower, which looked very magical, and one could tell at a glance that the flower was some kind of treasure.
Du Changsheng held a whisk in his hand and swung it in front of the altar to cast a spell. He continuously applied his own magic power to the altar, and with the help of two spiritual herbs on the table, he continuously gathered spiritual energy into the courtyard, faintly bringing up gusts of strange breeze.
Surrounding the outside of the courtyard were several imperial doctors who were specifically responsible for Yin Zhaoxian's condition, the old eunuch Li Jingchun who was close to the emperor, the director of the Imperial Observatory Zheng Yanchang, the Prince of Dazhen Yang Sheng, and of course the Yin family. Apart from these, there were no other outsiders. Even this time, the news was strictly sealed to prevent it from being leaked as much as possible.
Originally, some of the people present were still skeptical about Du Changsheng, because many of them had experienced the era of Emperor Yuande and had some impression of these Heavenly Masters. Although they were called Heavenly Masters, most of them did not have great abilities. However, Du Changsheng's performance so far was impressive.
Let alone anything else, just looking at the brilliant light shining on the altar and the spiritual wind that made everyone's every breath smooth and comfortable, you can tell that this Heavenly Master is no ordinary person, definitely not a swindler.
Several imperial doctors were also discussing privately and speculating about Yin Zhaoxian's condition. After all, Yin Xiang's condition was difficult to understand, and it seemed that there were indeed some factors beyond common sense.
Yang Sheng stood beside the Yin brothers. He seemed to be more excited than them. Seeing all the miraculous changes in the courtyard, he frequently turned to look at Yin Zhong and Yin Qing. He was surprised at the calmness of the Yin family. Even Old Lady Yin was the same, as if these were just small scenes.
"Minister Yin, you are always very wise. Do you think the teacher will be okay this time?"
Hearing Yang Sheng's low voice question, Yin Qing also answered in a low voice.
"Father has been ill for a long time. Although Master Du has real magic power, he himself said that this is a battle against heaven, and the result is hard to predict. But please be at ease, Your Highness. People in my Yin family have long been aware of it. It is already very rare to have come this far, so why should we fear death?"
Yin Zhongze said on the side.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness. Father is a lucky man and will be fine."
While they were talking, Du Changsheng showed new changes. He held a whisk in his hand and shouted.
"The Heavenly Master and the Dharma Protector must show up immediately, there must be no mistakes!"
Then he swung the whisk towards the four corners of the altar, and six human-shaped paper talismans fell and transformed into six blurry human figures around the altar. The surrounding spiritual energy immediately surrounded the six people, causing their bodies to swell to half a meter high. There were also spots of flowing light appearing around them, and they looked very magical standing at the four corners.
The two children of the Yin family opened their eyes wide and covered their mouths. Their hearts were pounding when they saw this magical scene.
"Daddy, Master Tianshi is even more powerful than Mr. Ji!"
The childish words made Du Changsheng, who was solemnly casting a spell, go weak in the legs. He was almost frightened to fall. Fortunately, he reacted very quickly. He supported himself with one palm the moment his body leaned forward, and then pushed the ground with his left hand. He seemed to float upside down and stepped on the shoulder of one of the "guardians". Then he jumped onto the shoulders of the second, third, and fourth ones, and then floated down again and stood steadily in front of the altar.
The whole action was smooth and flowing, and there was no sign that it was a temporary action under crisis response. When he landed, the sweat oozing from his forehead had already dissipated under the effect of the water control technique, and no one could tell anything.
"Good boy, children should not mind what they say, Mr. Ji should not care, no..."
Du Changsheng comforted himself and continued to "follow the process", guiding the spiritual energy to flow continuously in the courtyard. It was at this time that the eldest disciple Wang Xiao, who had been staring at the guibiao on the table, spoke.
"Master, the time has come!"
"good!"
Du Changsheng shouted loudly and looked around.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, Captain Yin, and Eunuch Li, the three of you have strong vitality. Together with the three guardians, you can block the three gates of death, shock, and injury!"
In a corner of the altar, three blurry tall guardians walked slowly and went to different corners of the courtyard. However, they did not stop at the wall. Instead, they jumped over and walked towards the courtyard behind Yin Zhaoxian's bedroom.
Yang Sheng and Yin Chong looked at each other and quickly used their lightness skills to follow the guardian. Naturally, the old eunuch did not dare to delay. As soon as they moved, they felt a burst of chill coming towards them, as if they were really stepping towards a dangerous gate. When they stood in their respective corners with the guardian, they felt a chill on their bodies. They immediately circulated their true energy to drive away the cold, and the wind around them also calmed down a little.
Then Du Changsheng shouted again.
"Minister Yin and Minister Yan, you two are all-knowing scholars. Hold the Kai and Xiu gates steady!"
Yin Qing and Yan Chang also followed the guardian to move to the corresponding positions in the courtyard. After the five people and five doors were in place, the five people surrounding Yin Zhaoxian's bedroom vaguely felt that there were several faint lights connecting each other, and there was even a spiritual wind blowing back and forth, which seemed very magical.
"My three disciples, follow me and guard the Du and Jing gates! The two young masters of the Yin family, please quickly follow the guardian and stand three feet away from the door of Prime Minister Yin's house!"
Princess Changping quickly patted her two sons on the back.
"Don't be afraid, Chi'er Dian'er, we are saving grandpa. Go ahead and stand still. Don't run away no matter what happens!"
"Um!"
After the two children agreed in unison, they quickly trotted out of the bedroom with the closed door and looked up at the blurry giant standing beside them.
At this moment, the courtyard was already full of lights and colors, seeming not like the mortal world. Du Changsheng's body was shining with divine light, as if he was a living immortal. The hand waving the whisk seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, and his expression became more and more serious. Even Yin Qing was slightly stunned.
"Yin Zhaoxian is a saint of the time. He has gained merits in education and has a righteous spirit. He should not die like this. Your disciple Du Changsheng is asking the Immortal Venerable to lend him some magic. Please have mercy on me and change the world!"
With a loud shout from Du Changsheng and a flick of his whisk, an arrow on the table rose into the sky and flew rapidly into the air.
When Ji Yuan heard the overly loud roar in his guest house, he shook his head. He did not care about the word game and gently dropped the chess piece in his hand. The next moment, the artistic conception showed the transformation of heaven and earth. Anyone with consciousness would see that the entire capital city turned from day to night in an instant, and the brightest star in the sky was Wenquxing.
This scene made Du Changsheng so excited that his whole body was shaking. In the eyes of others who were equally shocked, the Heavenly Master's face was so hideous that it was almost painful.
"Everyone, you must guard your own door. This method is not Du's own magic power. There is only one chance in this life to use it. If you fail, not only will Yin Xiang be in danger, but Du will also die. Remember, remember!"
After saying this, Du Changsheng suddenly swung his whisk towards Yin Zhaoxian's room and roared with all his strength.
"Open the Gate of Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Laws at once!"
"boom… "
The door of Yin Zhaoxian's bedroom suddenly opened, and the spiritual wind and flowing light in the courtyard all poured in at this moment. There were also streams of light falling from the stars in the sky. For a moment, spiritual wind and star rain rose up everywhere.
