Chapter 52: The Art of Destroying Souls Can You Get Longevity?
The tin stick in Ye Zhang's hand moved slightly, and the soul-stirring bell emitted bursts of mysterious chants, and invisible waves rippled out, penetrating into the spiritual consciousness of the other party's mind.
At the same time, Guo Kai, who was originally full of anger, was stunned, his expression was a little dull, and he showed a silly smile.
Ye Zhang said: "Prime Minister Guo has a lot of money, right?"
Hearing the question, Guo Kai seemed to be possessed and said as if no one was watching: "There are 50,000 gold stored at home, and another 40,000 gold in the cellar. There are 1,500 acres of fertile land in the east of the city, there are actually shops in the south of the city, and there are also deeded properties...
"
After the words fell, many ministers were shocked. They all knew that this guy was greedy for money and lust, but they didn't expect that he was greedy for so much. However, compared to Guo Kai's greed, such a weird method was even more shocking.
Zhao Yan, who was sitting on the throne, also had a gloomy look on his face. He slapped the king's couch and shouted angrily: "Shut up!"
As soon as the words fell, Guo Kai suddenly woke up. When he came back to his senses, he realized that he had been tricked. He quickly knelt on the ground and shouted: "I am wronged. This demon must have cast a spell to make me talk nonsense!"
Seeing this, Li Mu snorted coldly and said: "Whether it is true or not, we will know after checking. Please let the general lead a team of people to search, and you will find out later."
Hearing this, Guo Kai exclaimed: "Li Mu, you..."
"enough!"
Zhao Wangyan shouted angrily, and then said to Guo Kai, "Get out of here!"
"No, no!"
Guo Kai didn't dare to say anything and quickly retreated. At the same time, he felt relieved. As long as King Zhao didn't punish him on the spot, there would be no big problem.
"Your Majesty, Guo Kai has committed corruption and perverted the law, and his crime cannot be punished!"
Li Mu stepped forward to admonish him.
"I will make my own decision on this matter, so there is no need to say more!"
Zhao Yan refused with a serious look on his face, saying that if it weren't for the fact that Guo Kai had been following him since he was a child, he would have killed that guy all together.
Li Mu couldn't help but sigh when he saw this. He didn't expect that the king would protect the other party under such circumstances, and he had no choice.
Then he continued: "Since Mr. Ye has such ability, it is better to have all the ministers undergo testing. Loyalty, traitor, corruption and corruption will be obvious at a glance."
As soon as the words fell, the court hall suddenly exploded, and many ministers spoke one after another: "Your Majesty, no! The magic is unpredictable and cannot be trusted. If you question the civil and military affairs of the court because of this, the court will definitely be in turmoil!"
"Exactly, this is absolutely not allowed. Your Majesty, please take a closer look!"
"Your Majesty King Mingjian..."
Immediately, most of the officials who came to the court strongly opposed it, and only a few of them looked normal.
Seeing this situation, Li Mu couldn't help but sigh deeply, his heart full of helplessness and sadness. When did the Zhao Kingdom become like this?
Zhao Wangyan shouted in a cold voice: "Quiet, what's the point of making noise in the imperial court? What Lord Wu An said is of great importance, let's discuss it later!"
He knew very well what kind of people Chao Shang was, and few of them could withstand investigation. For the sake of stability, he could only turn a blind eye.
After dealing with the troublesome matter, he turned his attention to Ye Zhang and said as if he had thought of something: "Mr. Wu An once said that Mr. Wu An has the ability to bring the dead back to life. I wonder if he can live forever..."
Hearing this, Ye Zhang's eyes flashed, and sure enough, the other party came here for this.
For mortals, life and death are really an insurmountable gap, and even kings cannot resist this temptation.
Then he said: "Life and death are the ways of heaven. Immortality is as difficult as ascending to heaven. Even if this ability really exists, I am afraid it cannot be used on the king."
"Why?"
King Zhao asked further.
Ye Zhang replied: "Everything has its destiny, and only by detaching yourself from the world can there be a glimmer of hope. However, the king is the master of a country, and every move affects thousands of people, so how can we talk about detachment?"
As he spoke, his expression changed, and he chuckled and said: "But I see that your Majesty has extraordinary qualifications. If you can put down everything and follow me to practice for more than ten years, it should not be difficult to live a long life."
Hearing this, Zhao Wangyan shook his head without hesitation. Whether it was power, money or beauty, he couldn't let go of it. If he didn't have the beauty, what would be the point of living?
Ye Zhang smiled. The reason why he said this was to make the other party dispel his delusional thoughts. The deeper the involvement with the world, the harder it is to change his fate.
Like the king of a country, he seems to have great power over life and death, and even has the luck of the country to protect him. Even powerful practitioners cannot harm his life.
However, from another perspective, this is not an invisible shackles...
After learning that there was no hope of immortality, Zhao Wangyan's interest dropped a lot, and he said calmly: "It is a great achievement to help Lord Wu An defeat the Xiongnu.
I would like to treat you as your guest, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Ye Zhang declined without hesitation: "I accept the king's kindness. I'm just used to being idle. I just want to live a free life. Please forgive me."
Hearing this, King Zhao did not force himself, but said with a hint of regret: "That's it, then I'll give you a thousand gold coins. It's a bit of kindness from me."
Ye Zhang did not refuse this, and nodded and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the gift. I came in a hurry and didn't bring anything good. I only brought a small gift, which is not respectful."
As he spoke, he glanced at the snow girl beside him.
The snow girl nodded obediently, and then opened the food box in her arms, only to see white crystals like rock candy contained in it, with wisps of cold air coming out.
"What is this?"
King Zhao asked curiously.
"It's very delicious. Please try it, your Majesty!"
With that said, the snow girl walked over and showed the former the contents in the box.
King Zhao looked at it and was about to reach out to take it, but hesitated a little and said: "It is better to enjoy it alone than to enjoy it together, so let's invite everyone to enjoy it first."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the palace attendant taking the food box and quickly distributing the rock candy in it to many officials.
The civil and military ministers looked at it for a moment before putting it in their mouths, and then showed a look of emotion.
I just felt a strange cold feeling accompanied by a rich sweetness, spreading from my mouth to my chest, it was extremely refreshing.
Although summer ice is not unusual for real dignitaries, this rich sweetness has never been tasted before.
Seeing that everyone was fine, Zhao Wangyan also picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. Then he showed a look of enjoyment on his face, obviously very satisfied.
