Chapter 18 - Burning Bronze Mask

Qi Zhi Xuan looked at Qi Mu Jiu with a shocked face at his words.

Everyone in the capital said that this ninth prince had been spoiled, even though he was past his prime, he was still cheeky and had no form, and only knew how to eat, drink and have fun every day, and if it wasn't for the fact that he would be reincarnated, he would definitely be a person who had accomplished nothing.

But who would have thought that Ninth Uncle would have such a guess.

"Ninth Uncle, you misunderstood, this matter was not arranged by the Emperor, the Emperor has already sent people to investigate this matter in detail, when the Emperor finds the person who slandered His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he will definitely take revenge for him." Qi Zhi Xuan patted Qi Mu Jiu's shoulder and comforted him in a low voice.

"Revenge? Heh heh heh ... let me guess, who is this person behind the scenes, besides my elder brother, the one that Father Emperor scorns the most is Fifth Brother, then this person behind the scenes, must be Fifth Brother."

"Ninth Uncle!" Qi Zhi Xuan didn't know what to say for a moment because Qi Mu Jiu's words were unbelievable.

"Don't look at me like that, you all think I'm stupid, in fact ... no one understands Father better than I do, he's old, he's sixty-nine years old this year, Father thinks he's already old, he's afraid of dying, he's afraid of losing the throne, he's afraid that his sons will take away his power, so . . he can't tolerate my elder brother, and he can't tolerate the fifth brother, the fifth brother is gone ... then it's the turn of the eighth brother, as long as it is a powerful imperial son, he may all lose his life, on the contrary, it's the one who has accomplished nothing like me, and he can still keep a cheap life."

Father Emperor is afraid!

Fear of old age, fear of death, fear of the power in his hands being taken away by others, so even if it was his sons, Father Emperor would not be merciful when he laid his hands on them.

His father, in the beginning, in order to seize the throne, killed several brothers, he was originally stepping on blood to sit on the throne, to old age, kill one or two sons only, people are also willing to give up.

"Ninth uncle." Qi Zhi Xuan didn't know what to say to comfort him.

"Go away, just pretend you haven't seen me, you don't have to stay here to protect me either, I'm just a prisoner who has lost everything now, I was exiled to Kan Shi Town, I can never go back to the capital, I've already married my wife today, and from now on I'm going to live my life in peace, I don't have to bother anyone, especially Father, I don't need him to send anyone to protect me."

Qi Zhi Xuan heard this and had to admit that this Ninth Uncle of his, was truly a person of great intelligence.

It was only that he had been hiding his clumsiness before.

"Ninth Uncle, then I will leave first." Qi Zhi Xun sighed and got up to head out.

After pushing the door open, Qi Zhi Xuan was about to put the mask in his hand on when he realized that Jiang Yu Qi was standing outside the door.

Just then, a gust of cloudy wind blew, Qi Zhi Xuan's hand holding the mask suddenly felt a burning heat, he subconsciously let go of his hand and the mask fell to the ground.

The oil lamp in the room was blown out by the wind.

The surroundings were dim, and the only thing glowing was the bronze mask that had fallen to the ground.

The light on that mask grew more and more intense, bubbling with flames, as if it was calcined in a furnace.

"Get out of the way." Jiang Yuqi's cold voice rang out.

Qi Zhixuan also reacted, pulling Qi Mujiu, who had run to watch the fun, towards the courtyard, and also drew the sword he was wearing in passing.

Just then, that bronze mask flew up strangely, so fast that it was difficult for the human eye to catch it.

Qi Zhi Xuan subconsciously swung his sword and slapped the mask violently to the side.

The mask seemed to have a spirit, and after being slapped away, it flew over again, and the target was not Qi Zhi Xuan, but Qi Mujiu behind Qi Zhi Xuan.

Qi Zhi Xuan was not able to stop the mask, and saw that the mask was about to fly to Qi Mujiu's face, and in his haste, he stretched out his left arm to block it, and as a result, the mask just touched his sleeve, and then stopped.

At this moment, the bronze mask, as if it was forged in a furnace, was at a very high temperature, and even if it only touched Qi Zhi Xuan's sleeve, it scorched a large hole in his sleeve.

What made Qi Zhi Xuan feel shocked was that the reason why this bronze mask stopped was because a few thin threads blooming with golden light appeared in the hands of the young girl not far away, and it was those threads that pulled the bronze mask to death.

If not, his arm would have been burned.

Qi Zhi Xuan was about to remind Qi Mujiu to hurry up and run, after all, this Ninth Uncle of his had no hands, it would be better to hide at a time like this, but it turned out that Qi Mujiu was even more life-thirsty than he had imagined, and the person had already run behind Jiang Yuqi.

Obviously felt that staying by the little girl's side was safer than following this great nephew of his.

Right at this moment, Jiang Yuqi suddenly changed his hand gestures, his hands kept making one seal knot after another, and the five thin golden threads that were tugging at the bronze mask suddenly turned into a net, trapping the bronze mask.

This bronze mask was like a living thing, instantly starting to attack the golden fine net, but as a result, the net became denser and denser, controlling the bronze mask to death and not letting it escape from the net.

Qi Mu Jiu had already looked dumbfounded.

Qi Zhi Xuan was also shocked, he looked at the little girl in front of him and couldn't help but open his mouth, "You ... are a Taiji Sect's Xuanjutsu Master?"

Logically speaking it shouldn't be ah.

How old is this little girl? It looked like she had not yet reached maturity, and she was a native of Red Cliff Village, how could she be a Taiji Sect's Arcane Artist?

He heard his grandfather say that due to the thinning of the spiritual qi of heaven and earth, there were fewer and fewer Xuanjie masters in Taiji Sect, and practicing Xuanjie, even for those with outstanding talent, had become an extremely difficult thing to do.

Those who were originally able to enter Taiji Sect and become Xuanjutsu masters could now only work as Taoist priests, mingling in Taoist temples everywhere.

The Dayan Dynasty was very respectful of Taoism, and there were Taoist temples in every county.

A little girl, how is she so powerful?

Jiang Yuqi didn't answer Qi Zhi Xuan's words, she withdrew her hand, and the golden thread net didn't disappear, still hovering in the air tightly controlling the burning bronze mask.

Jiang Yuqi quickly walked over, and in the eyes of Qi Zhi Xuan and Qi Mujiu who were shocked beyond belief, she extended her hand and grabbed the bronze mask.

She was very fast and the move was completely unexpected, by the time Qi Zhi Xuan reacted and tried to stop it, Jiang Yuqi had already grabbed the bronze mask.

They had thought that Jiang Yuqi would be scalded, but instead, they realized that the golden thread net instantly disappeared, and the burning bronze mask also instantly went out, as if the fire had never appeared.

Jiang Yuqi entered the house with the mask in her hand.

There wasn't much moonlight tonight, and she couldn't see the lines on this mask at all standing outside.

Jiang Yuqi opened the fire folders and relit the oil lamp, carefully measuring the bronze mask in her hand.

Qi Zhixuan and Qi Mujiu, who were standing outside the door, entered the house in unison when they saw it.

They were simply too curious.

"Miss Jiang, do you know what this mask actually is? Why did it suddenly burn up and fly around hurting people?" Qi Zhi Xuan opened his mouth and asked.

Qi Zhi Xuan still had a deep impression of Jiang Yu Qi, because this girl had previously said that Pei Jun Jie would have a plague of blood, and that he should avoid insects and snakes, and when Pei Jun Jie, that douchebag, didn't take it to heart, he was really bitten by a snake.
