The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny Chapter 837 – Useless

Chapter 837: Useless

Xie Qiao rummaged through her bamboo basket, and she finally found a lamp at the bottom. The lamp was very old, and no one knew how long it had not been used.

Xie Qiao took out a handkerchief and wiped it, then she put it on the ground. After she lit the lamp oil, the surroundings were lit up.

The small lamp was surprisingly bright.

Moreover, the strong wind around it did not affect it at all!

Yu Xian and Feng Yingying found it unbelievable.

“What kind of lamp is this?” Yu Xian asked bitterly, feeling that she lacked knowledge.

“It doesn’t have a special name. You can call it the longevity lamp. The cold wind won’t extinguish it, and the ghouls won’t dare to approach it. I’ve kept it for too long, and I almost forgot that I have it.” Although she said that, Xie Qiao’s heart still ached for it.

This lamp oil…

Was naturally not ordinary oil!

It was extracted from many special plants. The Water Moon Temple had books about lamp oil, but she could not find all of those plants. The oil was also the leftover that she had brought along when she left the Water Moon Temple, so there was not much of it.

This lamp holder was also consecrate with a talisman.

“It’s different from the lamps I’ve seen before…” Feng Yingying sniffed.

“I only brought one lamp with me. It’s not very effective, but we’ll just make do with it. If there are any wild beasts or whatever, we can hold on for a while. When the oil runs out, I’ll think of a solution,” Xie Qiao added.

“What else can you say about this lamp?” Yu Xian was not only not afraid, but also very curious about the structure of this lamp.

Xie Qiao knew several kinds of lamp instruments.

At this moment, to prevent them from being overly worried, she explained, “You know about the natal star lamp, right?”

“Yes, they all say that it is the longevity lamp to keep people safe. My grandparents gave two of them to the Taoist temple.” Yu Xian nodded.

“The longevity lamp belongs to the lamp instrument of longevity. The Taoist masters will use the position of the four directions to summon the generals and pray, gather the true qi of the five directions, and pray for everlasting light that rejuvenates the body. The five qi will gather, and Heaven and Earth will be united.”

To put it simply, it was a good intention to extend one’s life.

The two nodded like chickens pecking at rice.

They did not quite understand what she was saying, but they could roughly understand it. It seemed very powerful.

“Other than this lamp, there are other things, too. For instance, the seven element star lamp. It is used to chase away disasters and eliminate evil. There is also the radiant wheel lamp. It is used to relieve suffering, eliminate troubles, and get rid of the roots of labor…

“There are all kinds of lamps. The position and number of these lamps are different. Initially, my lamps can eliminate and avoid evil, unfortunately, there are not enough of them, so my ability is greatly reduced. If I had a few more lamps, I’d be able to send these ghouls straight to hell.” Xie Qiao glanced at the ghouls nearby that did not dare to come close. She snorted.

“So amazing…” Feng Yingying was dumbfounded when she heard that. “Young Lady Xie, you know so much. Was the dance I performed useful?”

“It didn’t work,” Xie Qiao was very straightforward.

“So you’re saying that the witch in my hometown lied?” Feng Yingying frowned.

“Of course not. I took a look just now. There are a few parts of your dance steps that you did well, but this kind of dance is just a ceremony. If you made a mistake, it wouldn’t work, not to mention that you made so many mistakes… It’s true that it can’t chase the spirits away, but it gives you courage. You did a great job,” Xie Qiao explained word by word. She was quite patient.

Yu Xian stretched out her head and asked, “What about me?”

She had also recited the scriptures.

“It was useless.” Xie Qiao was helpless. “You can recite the Tao Te Ching, and it has its uses, but you were restless, and some parts of it were even wrong….”
