White tea legend

Chapter 258: Private ownership of the Imperial Tea House is not allowed
"Master, please save my two brothers. If you can make them turn over a new leaf, I will be grateful. Although my two brothers are useless, they are my brothers from the same mother. My eldest brother has passed away. Whether my second and third brothers can cheer up is related to the Yao family. My father has been worried about them when he was alive..."

Madam Yao Si knelt in front of Bai Cha and begged.

Miss Yao Si has always been strong-willed, but now she is willing to kneel down and beg for help for the sake of her two brothers. It is really pitiful.

Bai Cha nodded. The two masters of the Yao family had evil intentions since birth, and now they have developed the habit of gambling. They are becoming more and more deviant. Ordinary teachings are no longer applicable. Since Miss Yao Si pleaded for mercy, Bai Cha would try the tea spell.

Bai Cha opened her red lips and chanted the tea spell. She took out two tea leaves and put them into the water, muttering something. The tea leaves spun gently on the water, emitting a faint fragrance. She hoped that this clear stream could cleanse the Yao brothers' inner thoughts and get them back on the right track.

However, while Bai Cha's tea spells are usually effective, this time they seem to have failed. The Yao brothers are still addicted to gambling, and their behavior has not changed at all, but has become worse. Bai Cha is deeply surprised and decides to investigate further.

After careful observation and inquiry, Bai Cha discovered that there seemed to be an evil power hidden in the bodies of the Yao brothers. This power was extremely powerful, like an invisible chain, firmly binding the will of the two and making them unable to extricate themselves.

Bai Cha realized that in order to rescue the Yao brothers, he must first find out the source of this evil power.

Bai Cha and Lu Yu set up the formation and discovered that there was an evil aura lingering in the huge city of Chang'an. There were many people like Yao Ziling and Yao Ziyuan, and the team continued to expand.

The problem still lies with that underground gambling house!
Bai Cha and Lu Yu summoned Jin Gui for interrogation. Jin Gui told them everything he knew, but what he knew only involved the Third Prince Long, so they couldn't get any more information out of him, and he didn't seem to be lying.

The Third Prince Long has disappeared.

Lu Yu said to Bai Cha, "This evil force causing chaos in Chang'an seems familiar, like an old friend."

Who did Lu Yu and Bai Cha think of at the same time: Rui Yu!

They have been fighting with the immortal servants around Prince Danzhu since ancient times, so they are indeed old acquaintances.

I didn’t expect that even though Prince Danzhu no longer exists in the world, Ruiyu is still alive today.

"The reason why Ruiyu has been able to cross the long river of time and survive from ancient times to the present day is that there is a horrifying truth behind it: in the six realms, whether it is the gods in the heavens, the mortals in the world, or the demons in the devil world, there is evil power hidden in the body of every living being. These powers may be insignificant, but when they gather together, they can form a powerful energy. It is this energy condensed from the evil power of countless living beings that feeds Ruiyu, the evil god, allowing him to continue his life and become a being that transcends time. Ruiyu absorbs these evil powers to make himself more powerful, and Ruiyu has become the most terrifying existence in the six realms..."

Lu Yu’s analysis made Bai Cha frown.

"Sir, what should we do now?"

"First we need to find Ruiyu's hiding place."

It would be useless to find the gambling house, because with Ruiyu's evil power protecting it, the gambling house cannot be destroyed even if it is found. Only by destroying Ruiyu can the people in Chang'an who have gone astray because of the gambling house gain clarity of mind.

Although Lu Yu was reincarnated as a human and lost his magic power, he had recovered the memory of the ancient god. He immediately set up a formation, and Bai Cha quickly found Ruiyu's hiding place through the formation, which turned out to be inside the imperial palace.

Bai Cha called back Ao Qian, and took Momo and Lili with him, and the four of them flew straight to the palace.

Fly all the way to Xingqing Palace.

Ao Qian, Momo and Lili followed Bai Cha and landed in the inner courtyard of Xingqing Palace. The four of them hid their bodies and approached the lively place quietly. The saint and the imperial concubine were playing chess, while An Xiaoshan was watching and offering advice from time to time.

This imperial concubine was none other than Yang Yunu, who had some connection with white tea.

However, this seemingly peaceful and joyful scene made Bai Cha and the others feel heavy-hearted. Because only they could see that the imperial concubine was shrouded in a black light, which was an evil aura that mortals could not perceive. This was the symbol of the evil god Rui Yu. He was like a dark ghost, attached to the imperial concubine, influencing the saint's decision-making and thus controlling the lifeblood of the entire empire.

Bai Cha knew that this seemingly harmless game was actually a contest for power. Ruiyu used this method to infiltrate his evil power into every corner of the palace, not only corroding the saints and concubines, but also slowly eroding the entire structure of imperial power.

For example, Yang Guozhong, who was full of idiots, became the prime minister of the empire...

Momo and Lili looked at each other. They could feel that the evil power from Ruiyu was strong and dangerous. Ao Qian clenched his fists. His third brother, Long San Taizi, was also bewitched by Ruiyu Evil God...

Bai Cha, Ao Qian, Momo and Lili looked at each other, nodded, and began to use their magic power. They each occupied the four corners of the palace, put their palms together, and chanted something. Powerful energy flowed between them, forming a radiant magic circle. The core of this magic circle was directly aimed at the concubine who was possessed by the evil god Ruiyu.

As the spell became stronger, the black light began to become unstable, as if it was eroded by an invisible force. The imperial concubine's expression also became distorted, showing pain, and there seemed to be a fierce struggle going on in her body.

Suddenly, a scream pierced the entire palace, and the black light was forcibly pulled out of the imperial concubine's body. The imperial concubine, who had just been playing chess with the saint, was like an empty shell in an instant. Her eyes lost their luster, and her body fell weakly, falling into a deep coma. The saint and An Xiaoshan were shocked and hurried forward to support her.

No one noticed that a cloud of black smoke was rising into the sky above Xingqing Palace, followed by four other beams of light.

"Quickly call the imperial physician!" the saint shouted anxiously.

There was chaos in Xingqing Palace.

Above Xingqing Palace, a battle was about to break out.

"Fairy Baicha, we meet again!" Ruiyu curled her lips into an evil smile. As soon as she finished speaking, black smoke gathered into a dark vortex above Xingqing Palace. Ruiyu's voice came out from the vortex coldly, "Baicha, do you think you can destroy me like this?"

Bai Cha's face was calm, she knew this battle was inevitable. Behind her, Ao Qian, Momo and Lili were each on one side, using their magic power to the fullest, ready to face this battle in the sky.

"Rui Yu, your doomsday has come." Bai Cha said calmly, and a long sword appeared in his hand, pointing directly at the center of the vortex, with a white light wrapped around the tip of the sword.

Ruiyu sneered, and the vortex spun rapidly, releasing twisted energy, trying to tear the magic barrier of Baicha and the others. Ao Qian attacked first, swinging the spell in his hand, and thunders blasted towards the vortex. Momo and Lili were not to be outdone, and one powerful spell after another poured towards Ruiyu.

Thunder roared in the sky, and lightning collided with the power of darkness, making a deafening roar. The battle intensified, and the surrounding air seemed to be torn into pieces by this force. In the Xingqing Palace below, the doctors who were treating the imperial concubine were frightened by the thunder in the sky. The saint was extremely anxious and kept wandering around the inner hall, scolding the doctors: "If you can't cure the imperial concubine, I will make all your heads move!"

……

Inside the "Gu Yu Lin" tea shop, Lu Yu's heart was like a kite hanging in the sky, unable to calm down. He knew very well what a difficult situation Bai Cha was facing at the moment. Although he had lost his magic power, he could not sit idly by. So, he began to set up a formation in the tea shop, hoping to help Bai Cha with his wisdom and experience.

Lu Yu asked Zhuo Lao San to pick some flowers, remove the petals, and leave only the stamens. He also asked Yao Si Niang for a few pieces of ancient jade, one stamen with one piece of ancient jade, and arranged them according to the layout of Yin Yang and the Five Elements. Every time he placed a group of "stamen jade", he whispered a spell, as if he was talking to heaven and earth. As the last group of "stamen jade" was placed on the center of the formation, the atmosphere in the entire tea house seemed to have undergone a subtle change.

At the same time, in the sky above Xingqing Palace, Bai Cha and others were having a fierce duel with Rui Yu. Rui Yu's evil spirit, which was originally at ease, was suddenly suppressed by some invisible force, and he felt an unprecedented heavy pressure. It was as if a force beyond his understanding was interfering with his magic, preventing him from exerting his full strength.

Bai Cha also felt the change in the battle situation. She knew that this was not done by her or her companions. She suddenly realized that it was Lu Yu who was helping her. A faint smile appeared on her face, and a warm current surged in her heart. Bai Cha cheered up, swung her sword and released a strong sword energy, rushing straight at Rui Yu.

Ruiyu was caught off guard by this sudden power, and cracks began to appear in his black vortex, which was a symbol of his power. The spread of the cracks foreshadowed his defeat. Seeing this, Ao Qian, Momo and Lili also used their abilities to push their magic power to the limit, and wave after wave of powerful spells blasted towards Ruiyu.

Ruiyu's evil aura became weaker and weaker, and he struggled to fend off the attacks on himself.

Suddenly, he looked at Ao Qian in the corner and asked, "Ninth Prince, do you still want to know the whereabouts of your third brother?"

Ao Qian paused, and the magic power in his hand weakened. The airtight net formed by the attack suddenly had a loophole, and Ruiyu turned into a puff of black smoke and escaped from this loophole...

Bai Cha, Ao Qian, Momo and Lily were stunned as they looked at the clear night sky.

"Fairy Baicha, I...it's all my fault..." Ao Qian said self-blamingly.

Bai Cha didn't blame him and said, "Let's go back to the tea shop first."

Then the four of them turned into four beams of light and flew back to the "Gu Yulin" tea shop.

Inside the tea shop, Lu Yu discovered that the formation had changed. Knowing that Ruiyu had escaped, he couldn't help but frown.

……

Ruiyu can no longer return to Xingqing Palace, so the imperial concubine is no longer useful as a host for the time being.

But Ruiyu needed to gather strength again. His avatar traveled through the night and finally returned to the underground gambling house hidden in the prosperous city of Chang'an.

The casino was brightly lit and bustling with people, all kinds of people sitting around the gambling table, where greed and desire intertwined into dark forces. Ruiyu entered the casino quietly, his eyes penetrating the crowd, looking for those gamblers whose hearts had been corroded by evil.

He first targeted a gambler who was losing a lot of money. The gambler's eyes were shining with despair, and his hands were shaking as he pushed the last few silver coins to the dealer. Ruiyu walked gently behind him, stretched out her pale fingers and touched his back. A stream of black air slowly flowed out of the gambler's body and was inhaled by Ruiyu. The gambler's eyes gradually became empty, and the fire of life seemed to be taken away. Finally, he fell to the ground powerlessly, but the people around him were unaware and continued their gambling.

Ruiyu continued to wander around the casino, his figure like a ghost, unnoticed by anyone. He picked two gamblers who were in a fierce quarrel. The two were furious because of a cheating dispute, and their anger and hatred were exactly what Ruiyu needed most. He approached them and cast a spell again, absorbing the evil emotions of the two. When the two gamblers' quarrel came to an abrupt end, their bodies collapsed to the ground like empty sacks, and the gamblers around them still turned a blind eye and continued their game.

All these scenes were seen by Prince Long San. No matter how evil he was, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he saw the strange and terrifying scene of Ruiyu absorbing evil power.

But Ruiyu had already looked towards Prince Long San. An evil smile appeared on his lips. He waved his hand lightly in the direction of the prince, and an imperceptible black gas flew quietly towards the prince.

The Third Prince felt a chill coming over him, and his body trembled involuntarily. He knew something was wrong, and was about to flee, but he found that his body was no longer under his control, and he could only watch the black energy invade his body.

Ruiyu's voice rang in his ears: "Good disciple, Master will temporarily use your body to recuperate."

The Third Prince Long was terrified and tried to resist, but the black energy was like a parasite, firmly controlling his will. He felt his consciousness gradually blurred, and finally fell into endless darkness.

When Prince Long San opened his eyes again, his consciousness was no longer Prince Long San, but Ruiyu.

Ruiyu used the body of Prince Long San to slam the table in front of her, and all the gamblers in the casino turned into a puff of dust and disappeared.

The huge casino was suddenly empty.

……

In the Yao Mansion, Yao Ziling and Yao Ziyuan were sleeping.

Due to Bai Cha's magical control, they could no longer set foot in the casino, but they were also unable to wake up.

As the two brothers were in a coma, the marriage between Miss Yao Si and Zhuo Lao San had to be postponed and the wedding could not be held for the time being.

As long as Ruiyu is not removed, Baicha and others are worried, only Zhuo Laosan is devoted to the tea business.

Thanks to Gongmei, Changxi white tea was fortunately made a tribute tea. Zhuo Laosan just wanted to take this opportunity to make the "Gu Yulin" business stronger and bigger so that more people can drink Changxi white tea.

However, news came from the imperial court: From now on, all Changxi white tea can only be used as imperial tea, and no tea shops, including "Gu Yulin", are allowed to buy and sell it privately.

The news quickly spread from Chang'an to Changxi County, and the tea lovers in Changxi were excited.

Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, my dears, have a happy Dragon Boat Festival.
