Chapter 263: The Small Town is in Danger
"Wei Qingsui, you have been quite famous since you were a child, and if you can help solve this problem, it can be regarded as benefiting the people."
Qin Qianyu's expression was faint, Zhou Xinzhi was right, this thing is indeed valuable, I'm afraid there will definitely be a lot of this matter, rather than having to solve this trouble at that time, it is better to put an end to this possibility from the root now.
"Madam, if the emperor sends down a reward for silver, I don't want any of these things."
Zhou Xinzhi blinked and laughed: "Of course you have to, why not?" ”
Wei Qing was stunned for a moment, and then there was a little doubt on his face.
"Qing Sui, think about it, how much the emperor has changed his opinion of me because I will pay out of my own pocket and use the silver on the victims?"
"And a penny of this money is wasted in my hands?"
"What do you think would happen if the money was taken out of the treasury and distributed to the localities?"
The two suddenly realized that this silver was originally what Zhou Xinzhi deserved.
And now it's just through his hands, and then transferred to Zhou Xinzhi, and the silver is used on the people, thinking about it, it is indeed more affordable than directly transferring it from the treasury.
"Madame is wise, and her subordinates have been taught."
Wei Qing arched his hand, and Zhou Xinzhi bowed slightly: "Qianyu wants to keep himself and us, if he doesn't have anything in his hand, he naturally doesn't have the ability, but if he really understands the righteousness, he really won't get a penny." ”
As he spoke, the carriage had come to a standstill.
Pei Shaojiu lifted the curtain: "Second prince, Madame's temple has arrived." ”
Zhou Xinzhi nodded, looking a little nervous.
Although the temple has dismissed those monks back, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not take advantage of this loophole at this time.
"Qianyu, here are all people from the palace, where do we get in?"
Qin Qianyu lit the fire fold and held a dark map of the temple in his hand.
"From here, there is a gap here, and there is no one to guard it."
Zhou Xinzhi's expression tightened, this place went straight through, wasn't it the place where they found the oil boiled out of the corpse at that time?
"I don't know if this thing is still there......"
Zhou Xinzhi thought of the thing that the emperor used to light the lamp, and her heart felt sick for a while.
"Let's go."
A few people packed up their things and slipped into the trail.
As soon as you enter, a wonderful smell comes to your face.
Zhou Xinzhi looked at it, and the pot of boiled corpse oil was still in place.
She covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, held back the nausea in her stomach, took a few steps forward, and crouched down to examine the body carefully.
"These corpses are all men, but there are few women."
Zhou Xinzhi pondered for a moment: "Wei Qingsui, come over and take a look, can you see the cause of their death?" ”
Wei Qing also took a closer look with the medicine box, this person looked like he had been dead for a while, but because this place was dark and damp, this corpse was miserable now, and I could bear it, I went to see him first and did my best.
"Madam, this person should be a practitioner, if you pinch this arm, you can feel the strength, it is different from ordinary people, and this dress is considered to be high-quality, ordinary people can't afford it, and this material is not the color used by ordinary people, I'm afraid it's a secret guard, but I can't tell which one it is."
Zhou Xinzhi exhaled lightly: "Which country's forces does this temple belong to, and it secretly excludes dissidents, or is there something important hidden in it?" ”
She couldn't figure out what kind of person she was so capable of using this place as a hands-on place for a long time.
"Neighbors, perhaps?"
Qin Qianyu said in a deep voice: "Qin Shuyu may have this ability, but when this thing was discovered, he didn't mean to be in a hurry at all...... It didn't make a difference. ”
Zhou Xinzhi's brows furrowed even tighter: "Let's go further, I think this place is still strange." ”
Zhou Xinzhi always felt that this place was just the most ordinary place to practice corpses, and if she went inside, she was afraid that there would still be people in custody, after all, this temple occupied the entire mountain, and there must be more places to do this kind of thing if there were tunnels dug underneath.
Qin Qianyu took the map, and a few people went inside, and a passage was dug out at the bottom of the whole mountain to go inside, and there were several stone rooms that were quite well repaired.
"Wait, there seems to be someone here."
Qin Qianyu stood in front and stretched out her hand to block her.
"The ground here is damp, and although the footprints are shallow, you can see that there are still people walking on them."
Zhou Xinzhi was shocked, and there was no trace of this footprint going out, which means that there are likely to be people in it.
Qin Qianyu took a deep breath and directly opened the door of the mechanism!
But Zhou Xinzhi couldn't help but widen her eyes, there was indeed someone inside, but that person had been hung up and was dying now!
"Wei Qingsui, go see if you're still alive!"
Wei Qingsui didn't dare to delay, he walked inside in three or two steps, the whole room seemed small, the man was leaning against the wall, and he was still holding a lamp in his hand.
Wei Qing snorted and shook his head: "Madam, he has already lost his breath. ”
He removed his eyes and teeth and examined them again before saying, "I'm afraid that I died by taking poison, but this poison is strong but damages the internal organs, so it can't be seen on the surface." ”
"This person is not a monk, why do you want to do this?"
Zhou Xinzhi stood up and looked around, but found no other clues.
"Madam, I have a map in my hand to get rid of those mechanisms, I'm afraid he died here on purpose, I didn't think anyone would find him!"
At that time, they quickly sent people to block the people in the temple, and they didn't even have time to react, so they blocked them all together, and only the monks in the temple could come out one by one according to the roster, and the investigation could be described as strict.
"You mean there are people here who are on a mission, and because they can't get out, they cut themselves off?"
Qin Qianyu nodded.
"It's just that the identity of this person is unknown, he looks like an ordinary farmer, but his skills are not ordinary, they are too deeply hidden!"
Zhou Xinzhi's heart sank, there are a lot of stone chambers on this map, and I don't know how many people there are when I go around like this.
Zhou Xinzhi pondered for a moment, "This place has existed since before the founding of the dynasty, and it has been a place of royal prayer for so many years. ”
Qin Qianyu's heart sank: "It's hard to guarantee that there are no other wolf ambitions that are invaded by the government and the opposition, but if this is really the case, I'm afraid it has already been taken aback." ”
Zhou Xinzhi waved his hand, with a serious face: "If this is really the case, I'm afraid it needs to be reported immediately, but the matter has not yet been clarified, if it is related to a certain prince, I am afraid that he is already anxious about this matter." ”
"I'll send someone to investigate and then make up my mind."
Zhou Xinzhi did not deny the possibility that this matter was a powerful minister.
A few people walked all the way back, and soon came to a wide field of vision, Zhou Xinzhi, as soon as she looked up and saw the whole picture, she couldn't help but retreat, there were several crosses set up in the entire open space, all of which were tied to corpses!
One after the other, not so much the scene of the massacre, let alone some cruel and mysterious ritual!
"Xinzhi!"
Qin Qianyu stepped forward to cover her eyes, and Zhou Xinzhi broke them one by one: "I can see this." ”
"This seems to be a heavenly sacrifice array!"
Pei Shaojiu was shocked in his heart, "I once mentioned this thing in a wild book, to collect all nine hundred and eighty-one people, representing nine hundred and eighty-one sufferings, and after suffering, it is enlightenment." ”
"What do you get with this thing?"
Zhou Xinzhi frowned: "With so many people's lives buried here, there should always be something powerful?" ”
Pei Shaojiu hesitated for a moment, then slowly opened his mouth and said a few words.
"It's supposed to be a dragon vein."
"Dragon vein?"
Zhou Xinzhi remembered that this thing existed in every dynasty, and it was a mysterious thing, although she didn't believe it before, but her ability to come here already explained some problems.
"Madam, Second Prince, this thing is the most important thing in every dynasty, the qi veins and luck are uncontrollable, but the most important thing, whether it is damaged by people or the number of qi is approaching, it is difficult to make up for it."
"But because of the strength of the dragon vein, there are few people who have gone against the sky for so many years, but if you really want to destroy it, it is not impossible, and according to my observation, the methods in the ancient books are almost the same as the current ones!"
"So my subordinates guess that this thing is probably to destroy the dragon vein, and its purpose should be to have an impact on our dynasty, so it should not be the prince of our dynasty."
Pei Shaojiu said something, and Zhou Xinzhi was a little dizzy.
It was beyond her imagination.
"The most evil thing, plus the fact that these people have been used to refine corpse oil, if this formation is formed, I am afraid that Emperor Jing Xuan will be the first to lose his life without knowing it!"
"Pei Shaojiu, can you guarantee that everything you say is true?"
Qin Qianyu gritted his teeth, he didn't have to think about it to know how important this matter was, the other party didn't just want Emperor Jingxuan's life, but wanted their entire dynasty to be destroyed!
"Naturally!"
Pei Shaojiu half-knelt on the ground, his expression was also serious: "Pei Shaojiu swears by the Pei family, if this statement is half-false, our clan will be extinct!" ”
Last!
If this can be said, it is impossible to dare to make up lies, Qin Qianyu's face is even more ugly: "Don't talk about this matter for the time being!" ”
"Yes!"
Qin Qianyu pursed her lips, "It's not too early, let's go back first." ”
It's been almost two hours now, and if it's a little late, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to go back.
"There's no need to worry, I still want to take a look around."
Zhou Xinzhi rubbed her hands, she didn't know how serious this matter was, but the current matter was indeed more worthy of her attention.
Qin Qianyu's expression eased at this time: "Let's go." ”
The atmosphere of this person was a little silent along the way, and this matter has been haunting the hearts of several people.
There is a small town near the capital, and a few people are dressed plainly, and they call an inconspicuous carriage on the side of the road, and they walk slowly and slowly, which is not very conspicuous.
