After Duke Jinggong and Duke Ruiyang "accidentally" obtained the divine scroll, their ambitions expanded and they wanted to use "demon magic" to seek higher power.

After getting rid of Yuan'er, the two wanted to take advantage of the rumors that the family was uneasy, leave the imperial city, and escape somewhere.

The two of them came and asked whether the plan was fake but the design was real.

Ye Wangyou won the trust of the late emperor. In fact, the late emperor was always wary of the Dukes of the Seven Kingdoms and wished they could all be driven away.

But it was difficult for the late emperor to speak about this matter, after all, it was after meritorious service.

And if the Duke of the Seven Kingdoms suddenly proposed to leave Kaifeng City on his own, the late emperor, who was suspicious by nature, would be suspicious.

So they found this excuse to forget their worries and leave Kaifeng naturally.

So why did they leave Kaifeng? Because according to the method of making Dilingzi recorded in the sacred scroll, firstly, it requires a site. There are several such sites ready-made, and they are all in remote mountains and forests, or you can dig a hole at home.

OK, but it will be inconvenient to mobilize people in the imperial city. Secondly, it requires a lot of "materials", that is, living people. The risk of arresting people in the imperial city is too great, but it will be different when you get to the place. The sky is high and the emperor is far away, so grab some on the roadside

Tramps, or bribe the yamen to get some death row prisoners, which is very convenient and not easy to be discovered.

The two of them had a good plan. After arriving in Yefu to make arrangements, they were ready to pack up and leave Beijing with their family.

But sometimes things just happen. When they left Yefu, they met Zhang Qiaoer.

Jinggong suddenly asked Zhang Qiaoer to buy a pig's head and send it to the Duke's mansion.

Duke Ruiyang was quite puzzled at the time, since he was leaving, why would he buy a pig head? To worship his ancestors when he left?

But Jinggong said that according to the records in the book, it is best to use healthy young people to make Dilingzi. He saw that Zhang Qiaoer was strong and lively, so he might as well try her first to see if he could succeed.

So, these two vicious princes caught Zhang Qiaoer who was unprepared to deliver the pork and threw him alive into the poisonous pool they prepared based on the recipe in the book.

The process of making Di Lingzi was extremely cruel. After Zhang Qiaoer was poisoned, he was put on a machine and his muscles and bones were almost broken and he was tortured. Finally, he died seven days later.

At that time, Jingrui and the others felt that the success was half achieved. There were still some problems in preparing the poisonous water by themselves, but the method seemed feasible.

The Earth Spirit Divine Scroll mentions a place called the Earth Spirit Palace. There is a poisonous pool left over thousands of years ago, which can accommodate hundreds of people at a time. It is an excellent place for making Earth Spirit Sons.

The two decided to proceed as planned.

As for Zhang Qiaoer, who was the first one to be used for "experiment" and died tragically, the two princes took advantage of the silence of the night to bury him... which was the scene that the fourth son saw not long ago.

In order to conceal the real cause of Zhang Qiaoer's death, the two specially dressed the body in beautiful clothes and precious accessories. In this way, even if the body was discovered, it would be considered to be an abandoned concubine or something.

In addition, regardless of whether they succeeded or failed, they were quite shady. The accessories they wore for Zhang Qiaoer were all taken out from the Yuanqi Building and did not belong to the Seven Kingdoms. I felt that if the person who dug up the body was greedy,

If the property is stolen, jewelry and accessories will not be reported to the police...

Hearing Duke Ruiyang describe Zhang Qiaoer's experience in a few words, everyone present became angry. The Eighth Prince was so angry that he slammed the table, "You two bastards..."

Zhao Zhen had no expression on his face. He listened with his chin raised and slowly asked Duke Ruiyang, "It was you two who hurt her. Why did she call me a fool? What did you two say to her?"

Duke Ruiyang explained hesitantly, "Because... we are also afraid of evil ghosts seeking revenge. When the butcher's daughter asked us why we harmed her without any grievance, we said... it was to find a recipe for a long life for the late emperor.

, and at the same time, sacrifice her to heaven, praying that the Queen Mother can give birth to a healthy dragon son..."

Everyone looked at the trembling Duke Ruiyang with their mouths agape. What a good guy, after doing all these destructive things, he actually blamed the late emperor and Zhao Zhen, who was not yet born at that time...

Zhao Zhen nodded, "Then what? Have you become Earthlings? How many people have been arrested? Where are the Yin soldiers?"

Duke Ruiyang went on to say with a sad face that according to the records in the book, they spent several years and went through a lot of hard work to finally find the Diling Palace. They also captured more than 300 people and threw them into the poisonous pool of the Diling Palace.

According to the requirements in the book, put the person into the poisonous pool and leave, close the door of the Earthly Spirit Palace, and then open it again after seven or seventy-nine days.

But when they went there again, they could not find the entrance to the Diling Palace.

What's even more bizarre is that the local spiritual scroll they carried with them has also disappeared.

Soon after, the haunted and restless situation they had fabricated in order to leave Kaifeng actually began to appear.

Duke Ruiyang had nightmares for a few days, in which there was always a female ghost coming to claim his life. He wondered if Zhang Qiaoer was not dead... because he vaguely remembered that when he buried Zhang Qiaoer in the ground, he saw her fingers moving.

After a while, I thought that even if I wasn't dead, I wouldn't be able to survive if I was buried.

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, so he sent his butler Ruifu to have a look. But after the butler left, he never came back.

From then on, Duke Jinggong and Duke Ruiyang were in a constant state of panic and suspicion. After all, they had killed more than 300 people for no apparent reason, and the book was also lost.

Whether this matter is being exploited or it may come to light one day, it will be enough for them. The Duke of the Seven Kingdoms recruits troops from all over the world, places spies in the imperial city, and even attempts to return to the imperial city. The best way to seek the position of Taiwei is,

Marrying the royal family and getting close to old ministers all have only one purpose - to protect themselves!

What's more, they have thought about it for so many years and thought clearly that they might have fallen into He Feng's trick back then and wanted to find this person. However, time has passed and they can't find out where He Feng went back then.

Zhao Zhen looked at the Eighth Prince and wanted to ask him if he knew He Feng, but the Prince was now too angry and his hands were trembling.

"How many people were involved back then?" Zhao Zhen asked Nangong to bring a pen and paper and threw it in front of Duke Ruiyang, "You two couldn't have caught those three hundred people personally...all the people involved in the case, your own

, the local government cooperates with you... write everything down to me, and no one is missing."

Zhan Zhao had someone vacate a room in the cell, directly put Ruiyang's public relations in, and asked him to write the list honestly.

The Eighth Prince had calmed down a bit now. Zhao Zhen called Master Bao over and asked them - who is He Feng?

Mr. Bao has never heard of this person. Everyone is looking at the Eight Kings.

The prince thought for a while and said that there was indeed such a person. He was still young at that time and had only seen him a few times. He wore a cloak and looked mysterious, as if he was working for the late emperor.

Hearing that this man was wearing a cloak, Zhao Zhen frowned and thought of that man... the man with a strange shadow that he had seen in the garden when he was a child.

After roughly describing the appearance of the person in his memory, the Eighth Prince nodded and said that it might be the same person, but he was not sure.

Zhao Zhen frowned, "Didn't you say he was a Taoist priest? That dress doesn't look like a Taoist priest... Moreover, he has read all the administrative records in the palace, and even some of the private records of the late emperor. There is no one named He

If Feng’s people exist, what did the late emperor ask him to do?”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang kept looking back at the funeral flowers - Little Uncle Funeral, do you know where the Diling Palace is? What kind of place is that?

The funeral flower puffed out his cheeks and seemed annoyed. The Thousand Corpse Monster on the side asked, "Three hundred... shouldn't that be him?"

The funeral flower muttered, "I hope not, otherwise it will be troublesome."

Zhan Zhao also puffed out his cheeks - What and what?! Tell me clearly!

At this time, Wangyou also walked out of the cell.

Gongsun asked him, "Has Zhang Qiaoer spoken?"

Ye Wangyou nodded, "That head is still very effective."

Outside the hospital, Zhao Zhen waved to Ye Wangyou and asked him to come over and talk.

…

Zhang Qiaoer told Ye Wangyou that she was killed by Jingrui and the others and was buried underground, but she did not die.

She was not sure what had happened to her. She only felt that her consciousness was blurred and her memory was blank. However, she did not feel suffocated in the dark underground. She could also distinguish her position and her hearing became extremely good. She dug up the soil

, crawled out from the ground...

She didn't remember anything except that it was a dark night. She crawled out and saw the man in a black cloak standing in front of her.

The man knelt down, looked at her, smiled, and said, "I didn't expect it to be successful so easily. Those two idiots were pretty lucky."

After that, she unconsciously followed the man. She obeyed all the man's orders without any resistance or suspicion. She spent a long, long time like a walking zombie... She didn't remember anything she did, she only knew what the man told her to do.

She would just do whatever she wanted, and after she was done, she would go to a very dark place and fall asleep, and then she would forget everything and her mind would go blank...until she was called up to complete another task.

She remembered the last mission that she had not completed yet, which was to sneak into Black Wind City and find someone.

Zhao Pu frowned when he heard this - He went to Black Wind City? Who are you looking for?

"I'm looking for Youlian." Yewangyou replied.

Everyone was stunned.

Zhan Zhao was anxious and asked quickly, "Are you looking for Uncle Xiao Fu? Why are you looking for him?"

Zhao Pu suddenly thought that You Lian seemed to recognize a sword worn by Jing Xiuwei at the dock. The sword was one that the fourth son had seen worn by Jing Rui and his two men when they were burying their bodies...

Ye Wangyou shook his head, "Zhang Qiaoer didn't know. She said that she was just like a puppet on strings. Until one night in Black Wind City, when she approached the handsome manor, she was disturbed by a very strange internal force...

...She fell asleep after that. That night, she actually had a dream, remembering all the past events, as if she had been awakened."

"Awakened?" Everyone was curious-whose inner power was awakened?

Ye Wangyou pointed at Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao was stunned, "Me?"

Bai Yutang thought for a while and then reminded him, "Could it be the time when we captured the one-eyed mountain demon? During that period of time, your internal energy in the dream did fluctuate greatly..."

As soon as the mountain demon was mentioned, everyone remembered the embarrassing past of Tuanzi's meeting in Zhan Zhao's dream, and they all coughed and said - skip this section!

Gongsun thought it made sense, "The poisonous water that Zhang Qiaoer was immersed in may be a hallucinogenic drug, and someone used this drug to control her. It's a bit like the Jianghu people who were controlled in the Shanshen Palace case."

Everyone remembered that those Jianghu people were also awakened by Zhan Zhao using Demon King Flash... Zhang Qiaoer's situation may be similar. When she was close to the handsome manor, she was affected by the Demon King Flash released in Zhan Zhao's dream, and detoxified her.

The memory was restored.

"Zhang Qiao'er said that after she recovered her memory, she remembered the past things very clearly, but her memory of the time when she was poisoned was very vague, and although she had high martial arts skills, she became neither a human nor a ghost. At that time, she was the most

The strong idea was to go home and find her father. But when she returned to Kaifeng, she found that nearly thirty years had passed and her father had passed away..." Ye Wangyou sighed after saying this.
