#286 - What if I don't dare to kill you?
#286 - What if I don't dare to kill you?
The divine physician Mu Mu was filled with anticipation, wanting to see how the Jiugong Zhenren would treat the plague.
Liang Jin didn't even bother to glance at him.
If this Jiugong Zhenren truly had the ability to cure the plague, then Minzhou wouldn't still be plagued by it.
Even if this Jiugong Zhenren had real skills, it wouldn't matter.
"Besides, being in a good mood is also very beneficial for the princess's recovery, right?"
Liang Jin shook his head helplessly upon hearing this.
With a wave of his hand, the Tianmo Qin reappeared in his hands.
The girl couldn't help but gasp in surprise at this sight.
Afterward, like a curious little beast, she circled around Liang Jin, scratching her head from time to time, seemingly determined to figure out how Liang Jin conjured the Tianmo Qin.
"Hey! This is really strange!"
She muttered, even reaching out to lift Liang Jin's clothes, wanting to see if there were any hidden mechanisms inside.
It wasn't until the guard couldn't stand it anymore and coughed twice that he interrupted the girl's actions.
The girl rolled her eyes at the guard and then continued to say to Liang Jin:
"If you tell me how you conjure the qin, I'll definitely get the princess to reward you handsomely!"
Liang Jin didn't bother to pay attention to her.
He went to a table nearby, sat down cross-legged, placed the Tianmo Qin on the table, and slowly began to play.
Liang Jin had already seen that the Jiugong Zhenren's plague-exorcising ritual would take some time to continue.
Rather than waiting, it was better to play the qin.
The music was melodious, pouring out like a gurgling stream, quickly attracting the girl's attention.
She approached Liang Jin and asked:
"What song is this?"
"It sounds quite nice, but why haven't I ever heard the qin masters in the palace play it?"
Liang Jin said indifferently:
"Can you please respect the music?"
"Don't interrupt me when I'm playing the qin."
The girl was displeased upon hearing this and stood up, ready to get angry.
Suddenly.
Jiugong Zhenren shouted loudly, startling the girl.
The girl immediately vented her anger on Jiugong Zhenren:
"What are you yelling about?!"
"If you shout and scream like that, scaring the princess, you'll lose your head!"
Jiugong Zhenren hurriedly bowed and apologized, explaining that his ritual required it.
But in his heart, he was very unconvinced.
That kid Liang Jin can play the qin so loudly and it's fine, but he just inadvertently shouted and was about to lose his head?
He was unconvinced in his heart, but he didn't show it.
He took out a white talisman from his pocket and then shook his hand slightly.
"Bang!"
This talisman actually started to burn.
Jiugong Zhenren glanced at Liang Jin triumphantly, as if to say, kid, I can do what you can do!
Then, Jiugong Zhenren placed the burning talisman into a bowl of water.
The instant the talisman was dropped, Jiugong Zhenren very quickly shook some powder from his sleeve into the bowl.
He held the bowl of water, continuing to chant incantations and cast spells, looking very serious.
He tossed and turned like this for a while.
It wasn't until the princess's coughing on the bed became more severe that Jiugong Zhenren stopped chanting and casting spells.
He said:
"The princess only needs to drink this talisman water and rest quietly for one night."
"This Zhenren will come again tomorrow to cast spells to exorcise the plague ghost for the princess, and if this continues for seven days."
"The princess's plague will be cured."
Saying this, Jiugong Zhenren knelt on the ground with a pious expression, holding the bowl of water respectfully with both hands, waiting for the girl to take the bowl of water and give it to the princess to drink.
Who knew.
The girl was displeased upon hearing this:
"What?!"
"It'll take seven days? The princess can't wait that long!"
"Waste, another waste!"
These words were like a slap in the face, making Jiugong Zhenren's face turn red.
He hurriedly explained:
"Seven days is a bit long."
"This Zhenren's talisman water originally only needed the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to cure the princess, but it's all thanks to this great virtuous teacher who pretends to be a ghost and causes trouble!"
"He ambushed this Zhenren before, causing this Zhenren's congenital vitality to be damaged and his magic power greatly reduced, which is why it takes seven days."
"It is this treacherous charlatan who has prolonged the recovery time of the princess's precious body."
Who would have thought that this Jiugong Zhenren was so shameless that he would actually talk nonsense and insist on blaming Liang Jin.
Even Mu Mu couldn't help but shake his head upon hearing this, feeling that this was too far-fetched.
Liang Jin played the qin while saying indifferently:
"If you don't have the ability, then say you don't have the ability."
"It's fine if you're just filling a position without having the skills, but you still want to shift the blame onto others?"
"I thought it wasn't easy for you to make a living by pretending to be a ghost, so I haven't exposed you all along."
"Could it be that you really think I didn't see you shake the powder from your sleeve into the bowl of water just now?"
"Why don't we let the imperial physician Zhang next to us drink a mouthful of the talisman water and taste if there are any other medicinal flavors inside?"
Liang Jin's words were like a sharp blade, piercing Jiugong Zhenren's vital point.
A trace of horror flashed in Jiugong Zhenren's eyes in an instant. He thought he had done it perfectly, but he didn't expect that Liang Jin had seen it clearly.
Everyone's gaze was now focused on the bowl of water that Jiugong Zhenren was holding.
Jiugong Zhenren immediately blew his beard and glared, angrily saying:
"You brat! Don't talk nonsense!"
"This is a bowl of talisman water that this Zhenren asked the heavens for."
"The princess can only be cured of the plague if she drinks all of this talisman water, and it won't work if she drinks even a little less."
"How can we let others taste it in her place?"
"This kid has bad intentions and is trying to harm the princess, his crime is the same as conspiracy!"
"Please, everyone, take this kid down and punish him!"
Jiugong Zhenren's words were really hard to believe.
Especially since it made the guard suspicious.
The guard strode forward and reached out to Jiugong Zhenren:
"Let me see the talisman water!"
Jiugong Zhenren's face changed drastically.
He suddenly twisted his wrist, and the bowl of water in his palm was suddenly knocked over, and all the water in the bowl was splashed on his sleeve, instantly soaking his sleeve.
The guard's eyes sharpened at this sight, and he said in a cold voice:
"You're playing with me!"
"Seeking death!"
But True Man Nine Palaces hurriedly defended himself:
"My lord, please investigate!"
"It's because I was piously praying to the heavens for the princess to recover, and my mind was in a state of clarity when I suddenly heard the treacherous Great Teacher's music filled with murderous intent."
"Startled, I accidentally knocked over the water bowl. It wasn't intentional."
"My lord, please listen carefully to see if that demon's music is full of killing intent?"
The guard listened carefully.
He heard that the rhythm of the music played by Liang Jin was extremely fast, and the intention of killing was overwhelming. The music was stirring, domineering, and shocking, and the melody was full of the bloodshed, grievances, and hatred of the martial world.
The guard immediately snorted and pointed at Liang Jin, questioning:
"The princess's bedroom, how can such a murderous song be played here?"
"What exactly are your intentions?"
This guard naturally heard that Liang Jin's piano skills were superb and had reached the level of a master.
Every piece played by such a piano master can mobilize people's emotions.
Now that he is playing this murderous song, it is obviously not suitable for the patient's recovery.
But he didn't know.
Liang Jin was really just playing a random song.
How could he have the mind to express his ambitions through music?
While playing the piano, he said lightly:
"Don't randomly accuse me."
"Didn't you say that the princess likes to listen to the piano, that's why I played it."
The guard was speechless.
The girl beside him asked:
"Hey, what's this song?"
"It really has a heavy murderous aura, but it's very interesting."
Liang Jin replied:
"Demonic Dragon Eight Tones."
Liang Jin had always felt that the name Demonic Dragon Lyre was familiar. Later, he finally remembered that he had seen a lyre with the same name in a movie in his previous life.
Although the two lyres were not exactly the same, the names coincided.
So, Liang Jin borrowed the tunes related to that lyre from the movie in his previous life and played them with the Demonic Dragon Lyre of this world.
At this time.
True Man Nine Palaces said to the guard:
"My lord, it is one thing for the princess to like listening to the piano, but it is another thing for this kid to play murderous songs."
"He is obviously doing it on purpose!"
"I have found out this kid's background very clearly. He is just a deceiving demon!"
"Even the talisman water he uses to treat illnesses was stolen from my White Robe Sect."
"Now he is afraid that I will cure Her Highness, so he deliberately used a murderous song to break my realm and destroy my talisman water at the critical moment of my prayers."
"He is clearly trying to deceive the world and harm Her Highness's health!"
The guard frowned and remained silent.
How could he not hear that this was a private feud between True Man Nine Palaces and Liang Jin?
And True Man Nine Palaces's words were not entirely unreasonable. Murderous songs were not suitable for weak patients to listen to.
Liang Jin lowered his head to play the piano and said lightly:
"Nine Palaces, you have repeatedly slandered me."
"Could it be that you really think I have a good temper?"
"Or is it said…"
At this point, a strong murderous aura suddenly revealed in Liang Jin's music!
The so-called murderous aura before was just the artistic conception created by the music.
But at this moment, the murderous aura emanating from Liang Jin's music was real, like a materialized blade.
As soon as this murderous aura appeared, the entire room instantly became cold, as if the temperature had suddenly dropped several degrees.
"Or do you think that in this palace, in front of the princess."
"I wouldn't dare to kill you?"
Liang Jin's tone was calm, but the killing intent couldn't be hidden.
As Liang Jin's killing intent moved.
The guard's expression changed first. He held the hilt of his knife in one hand and pointed at Liang Jin with the other, shouting:
"Presumptuous!"
"How dare you reveal your killing intent in front of Her Highness!"
"Why don't you quickly surrender, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
How can the imperial family's dignity be violated!
Liang Jin turned a deaf ear to the guard's warning.
From the moment he dared to reveal his killing intent, he had already made all the preparations.
True Man Nine Palaces seized the opportunity and hurriedly said to the guard again:
"My lord, listen, this kid actually wants to kill me in front of Her Highness!"
"This is treasonous, you deserve to die!"
"My lord, I'm afraid this kid not only wants to kill me, but his real intention is probably to harm Her Highness!"
While True Man Nine Palaces was speaking, his small eyes looked at Liang Jin with a smug and provocative look.
This time, True Man Nine Palaces believed that Liang Jin would be skinned alive even if he didn't die.
As for the Taiping Dao behind Liang Jin, I am afraid that it will also be implicated and disbanded by the government.
At that time, the White Robe Sect under True Man Nine Palaces will be able to enter Qingzhou and grow stronger!
"You dare to kill me?"
"This is the palace! It is Her Highness's bedroom!"
"In front of Her Highness and my lord, do you, a thief, still want to commit murder?"
"Do you really think the law doesn't exist!"
"Come, come, come! If you have the guts, try killing me!"
True Man Nine Palaces frantically provoked, and even deliberately stretched out his neck, posing as if he wanted Liang Jin to kill him.
He kept jumping up and down like a clown, just sure that Liang Jin would not dare to touch him!
Who would dare to do anything here?
Whoever does it will have to pay a heavy price!
True Man Nine Palaces firmly believed that Liang Jin would not dare to bear such a price.
Liang Jin smiled slightly:
"Okay, I'll satisfy you."
After saying that, he swept his hand violently across the strings.
In an instant, the sound of the piano exploded, and a string of powerful sound waves spread out like ripples.
Mixed in with the sound waves, there was also a piece of extremely powerful internal force.
This internal force was like an extremely sharp blade, and wherever it passed, it seemed that everything could be easily cut off.
