The prince set out with his troops and headed out of the city impatiently.

On the way, on the carriage.

The prince opened the curtain and talked to Ma Fu beside him.

"Can this witch really make the ghosts and gods retreat and no longer haunt me?"

"Of course, your Highness, don't worry, as long as the witch is willing to take action, it will definitely happen."

"Where exactly is it on the other side of the Danlong River, and who abandoned that rare gold and iron object, and allowed ghosts and gods to haunt me?"

Ma Fu came closer and whispered.

"It is a place of ghosts and gods. It is also close to the Peony Dragon Pond. I heard that there is a dragon palace under the water."

"Therefore, there are often dragons, ghosts, and spirits in and out of it, and the monsters and ghosts are mixed together. The people nearby dare not enter without permission. Your Highness has never been here before, so he accidentally entered it."

After hearing this, the prince immediately remembered what happened before.

Although his face remained calm, he thought secretly in his heart.

"Okay, no wonder the person who pointed the way before was hesitant."

"I thought he was honest. It turned out that he led me to the land of ghosts and gods."

It's dawn.

The sun was shining down on me from a high place, and there were so many people protecting me.

The fear in the prince's heart also dissipated a lot, and he began to think of the embarrassment of yesterday. He felt ashamed and closed the curtain in shame and annoyance.

When Ma Fu saw this, he didn't say anything, nor did he ask why the prince suddenly changed his face. He still looked down and down like an old servant.

On the long street.

When the prince's car passed through the street, it also ran into a special convoy.

The two teams were squeezed together, and the street, which was not wide at all, was completely filled.

No one went there, it was chaos.

"What's going on?"

"The front is blocked."

"Who is so bold as to block our way and seek death?"

"All the prison cars in front are carrying prisoners on death row, who are about to be sent to the city entrance to be beheaded!"

"What, a prison van?"

After the autumn, prisoners on death row from various prefectures and counties began to be taken to the entrance of the city to be executed.

The days in each place are also different, some come first and others come later.

today.

It happened to be Lucheng County's turn to execute prisoners on death row.

The prince immediately opened the curtain again, frowned and looked outside. When he saw that it was a prison car, he said something bad.

But you can't get angry with a group of dead people. The prince waved his hand and the motorcade moved out of the way.

But when the prison car passed by, one of the prisoners on death row kept howling. His screams were extremely miserable, and the appearance of the person in the cage looked more like an evil ghost.

When people on both sides of the street heard the man's howl, they all lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at each other.

This is unusual.

No matter how powerful the gangster is, he is a high-ranking official wearing a noble robe.

When we landed in the prison car, the people who watched the excitement never showed any stage fright. They always cheered and gathered in crowds.

If the death row prisoner cowardly hides in the prison car and looks miserable and wipes his eyes, the whole place will be ridiculed.

If you could sing loudly and roar a few times along the way, say something like "My head has a big scar after falling off a bowl", or "Eighteen years later I will be a good man again" and so on.

No matter what kind of heartless person you are, there will be people applauding you.

How can this be the case? I dare not look at the death row prisoner.

The prince became suspicious: "Why did that man scream so miserably? The people couldn't bear to look directly at him. But what's the injustice?"

In the days since Ma Fu came, a lot of things related to Shen Wu and Yun Zhongjun have been found out.

Hearing what the prince said, Ma Fu smiled.

Ma Fu: "Your Highness, it's not that the people can't bear to look directly at that person, but they don't dare to look directly at that person."

Prince: "Oh, who is this murderous person? He is already locked in a prison car and the people dare not look directly at him?"

Ma Fu: "Your Highness, what the people are afraid of is not him, but the ghosts and gods who seek their lives."

Later, Ma Fu talked about this person's origin.

This man was the villain who had committed a murder elsewhere and later stole the divine spring in Xihe County.

After he was sentenced to death by the Xihe County magistrate in court, it was finally time for his execution.

In the past, this evil man walked through the underworld and chose the hell he wanted to go to.

Now, it is finally coming true.

After listening to what Ma Fu said, the prince couldn't help feeling chilly and shuddering even though it was broad daylight and the sun was shining directly on him.

The prince couldn't help but ask: "Do you really want to go to hell?"

Ma Fu replied with certainty: "If you really want to be sent to hell, if His Highness comes back earlier tonight, you may not be able to see these treacherous and evil people being performed by monks and sent to the underworld."

The prince waved his hand: "Let's forget it first, business is more important."

After hearing this villain's story, the prince became more and more anxious.

"It's better to go visit the witch as soon as possible and ask what the ghosts and gods that are haunting me mean, and what should be the solution to this matter!"

At this moment, the queue of prison cars had just passed by.

The prince's chariot, men and horses immediately left the city and headed straight for the peony garden where the wizard lived today.

When he came to the peony garden, he saw a shaman and a witch beside the shaman, and was told.

"The wizard is not here, please come back!"

Wen Ji and Ma Fu looked at each other, and finally Wen Ji asked.

"Excuse me, where did the witch go?"

Witch: "I don't know. The witch chanted a spell on the bank of the river this morning to summon the dragon. The dragon climbed on and disappeared. We don't know where it went."

Wen Ji: "When will you come back?"

Witch: “I don’t know when I will come back.”

After a conversation, the prince became a little anxious.

The prince was the first to speak: "There is no way, can you tell the witches? Didn't you say that the witches and you witches in Yunzhong Temple have great powers?"

The witch glanced at the prince, not knowing who he was.

"The wizard may have gone to heaven or to the Dragon Palace."

"But at this moment, he should no longer be in the world, how can we mortals go through it?"

The prince was speechless and didn't know what to say.

Finally, Ma Fu said: "Your Highness, the witch should have gone to heaven, so let's wait here!"

The prince nodded and got off the donkey.

"That's fine, that's fine."

That's it.

It was almost dark, but there was no sign of the witch's return.

Under the tree in front of the door, the sound of footsteps kept coming.

The prince waited anxiously, pacing back and forth, standing up and sitting down.

Moreover, the weather was extremely hot, and as the hours got later and later, the ghosts and gods might appear at any time, and the prince finally couldn't stand it any longer.

"If you keep waiting like this, when will it end?"

"Go back first!"

"Walk."

The prince stood up and ordered everyone to go back with a wave of his hand. There was some resentment in his voice, and he didn't know who he was targeting.

Ma Fu immediately chased after him and shouted.

"Your Highness, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"well!"
