Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 136 Part 1: Girl Copper coin sword to drive evil spirits

The copper coin sword went straight towards Jiang Li!

Everyone cried out in alarm. Before anyone could react, old madam Jiang nearly fainted.

Yet Jiang Li stood steadily and the tip of the sword stopped before her nose. Although the copper coin sword was not as sharp as the usual sword, despite the sudden change in narrative, she was not moved in the slightest. Her smile remained as usual and there was not the slightest panic on her face.

Taoist priest Chong Xu was stunned. Before he came, he had learned of Jiang Li’s many affairs. Her horse was startled during the examination, yet she still completed the equestrian archery. From this, it could be clearly seen that this girl’s temperament was firm and tenacious, unlike the usual easy to deal with pampered young ladies. However, today’s matter was different from partaking in equestrian archery. Even if Jiang Li was not scared and turned pale, she should have shown surprise.

However, she did not.

The girl’s back was perfectly straight. Like a tree that had not yet grown, tender and delicate, with a resolution of not being shaken by a furious storm.

She even met Taoist priest Chong Xu’s gaze and nodded at him.

In an instant, a slight chill crawled up Taoist priest’s back. Although he was about to set up a reputation of evil spirit for Jiang second miss, at this moment, he could not help being confused. He even felt that Jiang second miss truly had a bit of evil. Her calmness was not like an ordinary person.

Jiang Yuan Bai finally reacted, with knitted brows, he said, “Taoist priest, what’s the meaning of this?”

The copper coin sword remained floating with its tip pointing at Jiang Li without moving. Jiang You Yao covered her mouth and whispered, “This sword is pointing at the second sister, could it be …… Could it be that the second sister is evil?! ”

“Shut up!” Old madam Jiang’s look turned severe. “You Yao, how could you slander your older sister’s reputation for no reason!”

Jiang You Yao hid behind Ji Shuran, feeling aggrieved. Ji Shuran patted her hand to console her. Lu-shi looked at the mother and daughter like this and felt doubtful. The mother and daughter did not find Jiang Li pleasing and they were bound to deal with her. Today, Taoist priest Chong Xu was ordered by the emperor to come, and the movements in the garden were too strange. Without wind, the little bells rang, and there’s that sword that stood up by itself and rushed at Jiang Li. There was a bit of concealed fear in Lu-shi’s eyes.

Hearing is false, seeing is true. If it was merely Taoist priest Chong Xu’s reputation, other people naturally would not completely believe that he could truly drive out evils. However, after he arranged a series of things, everyone could not help thinking that this Taoist priest Chong Xu’s ability was not entirely boasting.

Taoist priest Chong Xu stretched his hand out and the copper coin sword seemed to have eyes and promptly flew back to his hand with a woosh, as if it was not a dead thing, but alive. The surrounding people were silent out of fear. Taoist priest Chong Xu said, “Master Jiang….. this…..”

Jiang Yuan Bai said, “Taoist priest Chong Xu has something to say, please go ahead.”

“Actually, the matter of driving evil is not that simple. However, since the evil hiding in your mansion has not yet produced a form, it’s easy to distinguish. It’s…..” He looked at Jiang Li, with hesitation apparent in his eyes. This was seen by all the people inside the garden and they immediately understood.

“Taoist priest, what do you mean by your words?” Old madam Jiang asked.

“This young lady of the house is the host of the evil spirit.” Taoist priest Chong Xu looked at Jiang Li.

At this moment, all the servants and subordinates in the garden looked over at Jiang Li. Jiang Li could differentiate their sights, some were fearful and disgusted while some avoided like the plague.

Although Tong’er was already informed in advance, when she heard this old priest opened his mouth and slandered Jiang Li, Tong’er could not help defending, “Nonsense! How could our young lady has anything to do with evil spirits, you are clearly slandering her maliciously!”

“Tong’er.” Jiang Li shook her head at her and spoke with remorse at old madam Jiang, “My servant girl was eager to protect the master, hope the old madam will not blame her.”

“No harm.” Old madam Jiang said.

Ji Shuran took this scene in her eyes and her brows frowned invisibly. What time is it? Jiang Li is accused of being an evil spirit on her nose yet she still has the mind to care about her servant girl. She still thinks she can get away safe and sound? This is not a trivial matter.

Jiang Jing Rui ignored Lu-shi’s warning look and opened his mouth to say, “Jiang Li is the evil spirit? Taoist priest, did you see wrong? Our house’s Jiang Li stayed in a Buddhist nunnery at Mount Qingcheng for eight years before. A Buddhist nunnery is a pure and clean place, how is it possible to produce evil?”

Lu-shi hurriedly slapped Jiang Jing Rui.

Jiang Yuan Ping thought for a while and also said, “That’s right, Taoist priest, this niece of mine is always gentle, unlike something evil.”

Jiang Li was very surprised that this smiling tiger uncle would speak up for her. However, after thinking about it again, if there was truly any monster in their own residence, the Jiang family’s reputation would be bad if it leaked outside.

At least Jiang Yuan Ping still spoke up for her, Jiang Yuan Xing and Yang-shi from the third branch did not say a word from start to finish. It was even more impossible for Jiang Yuyan to take the initiative to speak in this situation. She always felt that Jiang Yuan Xing had become even more reticent after Jiang Yu’e’s matter. While Yang-shi was watching this side with a look of rejoicing in others’ calamity.

The third branch could be said to be thoroughly at odds with the main and second branches.

As she was thinking, Taoist priest Chong Xu’s voice sounded, “This young son only knows one side and not the other. It’s not impossible for filth to be born in the pure land of Buddhism. On the contrary, many times when people sink into nothingness, their six roots are not yet clean and instead easy to attract evil. At this time, evil spirits took the opportunity to enter the void and make the living person its host. However, on the clean Buddhist ground, even if there were evil spirits, they did not dare to go out and do anything evil. They could only hide within the host’s body and wait for the chance to move. Once they come out of the Buddhist ground and come to town, the evil spirits will grow unboundedly. This young lady has stayed in the Buddhist nunnery and just recently returned to the mansion, precisely because of this there is a possible origin.”

Jiang Jing Rui remained unconvinced, “Good or bad are all said by you. It’s fine for you to open your mouth and speak, what has it got to do whether we believe it or not?”
