In the mourning hall.
Shen Yaowei and Cang Ye followed closely behind Yao Qingyi. The three of them walked around the coffin in the middle of the mourning hall.
A faint hostility rippled in the air. Shen Yaowei stood on tiptoe and looked into the coffin. She could see General Baili lying in the coffin.
General Baili had lost the person he loved in his early years. Ever since then, he has focused all his attention on the country and its people. He had been fighting on the battlefield his entire life and was overworked.
General Baili was only a dozen years older than his father, but from his appearance, he had white hair and many chasms and marks left by time on his face. He looked more like an old man in his seventies. It could be seen how much he had been tortured when he was alive.
At the thought of this, Shen Yaowei sighed.
Cang Ye immediately felt her change. His eyes turned, and he looked at her lightly.
Shen Yaowei explained, “1 simply feel that General Baili lived a difficult life throughout his lifetime. Now that he has pa.s.sed away, his restless spirit, burdened with concerns for the world, is surrounded by malevolent energy, unable to find peace. It’s truly lamentable.”
When Yao Qingyi heard this, she sighed. “You’re right. Although General Baili has already come to Wanhua City to enjoy his life, I often hear that General Baili fought for the peace of Wanhua City. After he left the military camp and returned to Wanhua City, he actually didn’t rest well.”
When Cang Ye heard the two of them, his gaze landed indifferently on Baili Hui, who was in the coffin. “Since he hasn’t been able to rest, it can be seen that he’s a person who likes to work. Everything is his choice. Perhaps he likes this.”
“Whether we like it or not, General Baili is someone worthy of respect. Before we set off on this journey, Master specifically instructed us to have our fortunes read, so that we may proceed with caution and successfully resolve this matter. Otherwise, we may have to face further dangers,” said Yao Qingyi with a solemn expression. He then stopped and smiled at Shen Yaowei and Cang Ye, saying, “But you can rest a.s.sured that as your senior, I’ll protect you both. Here, these are the talismans given to me by Master. You two can help me activate them with your spiritual energy and affix them in the four corners, respectively.”
Shen Yaowei reached out to take the talisman and realized that it was a rare talisman.
The yellow talisman was drawn with ink mixed with cinnabar and gold powder. At this moment, when she held the talisman in her hand, even if she hadn’t activated it, she could clearly feel a mysterious and holy power emitting from it.
Shen Yaowei picked up the talisman with both hands in surprise and looked at it carefully. “The aura of this talisman is so thick. It should have been personally drawn by the Imperial Preceptor, right?”
Seeing Yao Qingyi nod, Shen Yaowei’s eyes were filled with admiration.
The Imperial Preceptor was indeed the Imperial Preceptor. Although he didn’t personally attend this event, just having the Spirit Stabilizing Talisman hand-drawn by him had already resolved most of the situation.
The Spirit Stabilizing Talisman could eliminate murderous aura. They would stick the Spirit Stabilizing Talisman here for the night. Tomorrow morning, they could cast the spell and let General Baili rest in peace.
In that case, this matter didn’t seem difficult to resolve. After all, after the burial of General Baili, they only needed to eliminate the evil spirits that appeared in Wanhua City, and everything would be resolved.
At the thought that she might be able to go back and see Junhan soon, Shen Yaowei’s dark eyes lit up. She hurriedly walked to the east corner of the mourning hall.
However, she was too anxious and accidentally stepped on her skirt. Her body fell limply to the ground.
Just as she was ready to have intimate contact with the earth, Yao Qingyi’s cry came from behind her.
“Miss Shen, be careful!”
