Chapter 391 Sky Lantern

The icy chill instantly climbed up Kong Ning's back.

He quickly looked at the ghost in front of him, and asked, "Is it the evil that plotted against me earlier?"

However, in the shadows, Master Liu's ghost has disappeared without a trace.

He came abruptly and left strangely and silently.

In the empty kitchen, a gust of wind blew by.

Su Yan's head popped out from the door frame suddenly, and she asked curiously, "Husband, who are you talking to?"

Kong Ning said calmly, "I'm talking to a ghost."

Su Yan looked surprised: "Eh? Husband, can you still contact your ghosts? Haven't your powers of Taoism and mana been sealed?"

Kong Ning shook his head, and said, "It's not my ghosts, but the magistrate Liu of Shanlan County."

"These days, some old people from Shanlan County will always appear in front of me in the form of ghosts and tell me some strange things."

Su Yan laughed in surprise: "Master Liu? What kind of strange things did it say to you?"

Kong Ning paused, glanced at her, and said, "They said, you are a fake Su Yan."

The witch suddenly laughed out loud: "My husband is nonsense, even if Yan'er's face is easy to imitate, how can I imitate the depth?"

"Who wants to pretend to be Yan'er, I'm afraid my husband will notice it within a few strokes."

Kong Ning's expression was calm: "Then what if I deliberately pretend not to notice?"

Su Yan immediately puffed up her cheeks, stared and said: "Husband! Can you be more serious?"

Kong Ning spread his hands: "Is it because I was not serious first?"

Su Yan stared at him angrily, and said, "Otherwise?"

Kong Ning sighed, and said: "Well, what Master Liu said is to remind me that there is something following behind me."

Su Yan walked over in surprise, touched Kong Ning's back, and said: "There is nothing...the sky is bright and bright, what can be behind my husband?"

Kong Ning looked at the gloomy sky, and said: "There is no blue sky and white sun. In such a gloomy sky, it is not surprising that there are hundreds of ghosts going on a day."

"Not to mention it's getting dark. At this time, demons and ghosts like to come out."

Su Yan shrank her body in fear, and said, "Husband, don't scare me. Yan'er is timid~~"

As Su Yan said, she shrank towards Kong Ning, and stretched out her hand nervously to grab the corner of Kong Ning's clothes.

...and then slowly touch it in.

Kong Ning slapped the witch's hand away with a cold expression, and said, "Be serious!"

Su Yan withdrew her hand resentfully, and hummed: "My husband is so stingy."

Kong Ning looked at the empty kitchen, it was dark and empty, and no second ghost appeared.

He took the book that failed to be burned and walked out of the house.

Outside, it was already dusk.

Although there is no rosy clouds all over the sky, there is no sunset.

But the increasingly gloomy sky proved that it was getting dark.

Kong Ning stood at the door of the kitchen, looking at the gradually gray sky, speechless for a moment.

The increasingly weird and inexplicable situation made him unable to see the truth clearly.

Even though Su Yan's appearance brought him extremely important information, and finally revealed a corner of the mysterious veil of the capital.

However, the real danger in the capital is still hidden in the shadows.

All kinds of strange appearances cast a shadow over his heart.

And vaguely, there is a sense of urgency.

It seems that there is an invisible countdown in my heart, and if something is not completed before the countdown ends, some terrible disaster will happen.

But Kong Ning neither knew what he wanted to accomplish nor how much time was left.

He could only stand by the door in vain, frowning in silence.

But at this moment, Su Yan let out a cry of surprise.

"Wow! Husband, look over there! Someone is releasing a sky lantern!"

The witch cried happily.

Kong Ning followed the prestige, and saw the direction of the distant imperial city, inside the red palace walls, bright lights rose up.

Under the night, the praying lanterns rose into the sky, crossed the tall palace walls, and merged into a small river of stars in the night sky.

Flying into the distance with the night wind.

Girls seem to like this shiny thing very much.

Su Yan clapped her hands happily and said, "It's so beautiful!"

Kong Ning looked at this scene with a frown, and said, "Why are there so many sky lanterns floating in the imperial city?"

Kong Ning instinctively sensed something was wrong.

Su Yan looked at him in surprise, and said: "Don't you know, my husband? In the past few days, the imperial city has been practicing rituals, praying for the late Seventeenth Prince."

"This praying sky lantern must be a ritual in the puja."

Su Yan gave an answer.

Kong Ning raised his head again, looking at the shining sky lanterns in the night sky.

At this time, the sky was already dark, and the night covered the earth.

In the pitch-black night sky, the flickering sky lanterns were floating above the sky.

Like cold eyeballs, blinking from time to time, staring indifferently at all living beings in the capital.

Kong Ning suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of fear.

He subconsciously grabbed Su Yan and dragged the witch into the dark kitchen.

I dare not look at the praying lanterns floating in the night sky anymore.

And this sudden action made Su Yan extremely surprised.

"Huh? Husband, what are you doing?"

Su Yan blinked her eyes, looked at the stove in front of her again, and said shyly, "Are you in such a hurry? The stove is dirty, isn't it?"

"The bedroom is next door, shall we go to the bedroom?"

Su Yan's eyes were watery, and her body softened immediately on Kong Ning's body.

It is clearly a gesture that can also be used in a kitchen.

Kong Ning felt the boneless woman on her body speechlessly, and said, "Is your head full of yellow waste? Can you think of something healthy?"

Su Yan hung limply on Kongning's body, and hummed softly: "Why is he unhealthy? Doing what you like with the one you love, what's unhealthy?"

"We are legal couples with three books and six appointments, and worshiped heaven and earth!"

"It's only natural that men and women love each other!"

Su Yan is confident.

Kong Ning stood in the shadow of the kitchen, looking at the praying lanterns floating in the night sky through the gap in the window.

Said: "These sky lanterns give me a bad feeling, it seems that they are not good things."

What Kong Ning said was quite conservative.

In fact, those praying sky lanterns, or Kongming lanterns, flickering in the night sky gave him a creepy feeling.

It looks like a living monster eyeball.

The ceremony going on in the imperial city is definitely not a good ceremony.

These things are full of evil.

Su Yan's face moved closer to Kong Ning, looking into Kong Ning's eyes.

Said: "Husband, you are afraid..."

Su Yan asked curiously: "How does Yan'er feel that you are so nervous every day? Are those lights outside really so scary?"

As she spoke, she put her hand on Kong Ning's chest, and said, "Wow! Husband, your heart beats so fast!"

"Really so scared?"

Su Yan looked at Kong Ning curiously, and then looked at the lights in the night sky outside.

Said: "It's because the spiritual sense of my body is too low, can't I notice the abnormality?"

"Yan'er really thinks that these lights are just ordinary lights..."
