As soon as he walked to the Qiangong Palace, Li Yiqian saw Yang Ling pacing there non-stop, looking very anxious.

Seeing that Li Yiqian was back, Yang Ling hurriedly greeted him and followed him into the Qiangong Palace.

"What's going on?" Li Yiqian knew that something was wrong when he looked at him, and he didn't talk nonsense with him.

"The minister found an altar in the Taifu Mansion and found that it was very similar to the Gu sacrifice written in the book, so he didn't dare to hide it, so he came to see the emperor." Seeing Li Yiqian's calm appearance, Yang Ling's heart, which was a little flustered because of this discovery, miraculously calmed down.

"Gu Sacrifice! Is it true? Li Yiqian was also shocked when he heard Yang Ling's words.

Since his rebirth, he has always regarded Lan Guo, who broke through the gate of Huaguo in his previous life, as his number one enemy. On weekdays, in addition to developing his own power, he is researching materials related to Languo. And this Gu sacrifice, because it is the most mysterious "rumor" in the Lan Kingdom, is also recorded in the royal classics.

Gu sacrifice, as the name suggests, uses Gu as a sacrifice. The situation on the altar was just like what Yang Ling had seen, but the red color on the statue was not an ordinary dye, but was made of the blood of the corresponding five poisons and natal Gu plus cinnabar in proportion, and then applied to the corresponding statue. And the completion of this altar will inevitably sacrifice a Natal Gu.

Although the art of Gu poison is prevalent in the Lan Kingdom, this Gu sacrifice can only be done by a very few people, because it must be sacrificed to the natal Gu of the Gu cultivator, that is, the Gu worm in the middle of the altar. And ordinary Gu cultivators may not be able to raise a natal Gu in their lifetime, in the Lan country, only one person out of a few hundred people may raise a natal Gu. A person who can raise multiple natal Gu can be said to be under one person and above ten thousand people in Lan Kingdom. Of course, such a person is rare in the entire history of the Lan Kingdom, which shows how precious the Natal Gu is.

In addition, if the Gu Sacrifice wants to succeed, it must also use nine hundred and eighty-one corpses as traction, the most important of which is the corpse of a child under the age of three, these corpses will be planted with the young eggs of the corpse Gu before they die, and when they are killed, the corpse will be controlled by the Gu people. Both Huaguo and Languo pay attention to the fact that people should be buried in the earth after death, and such a vicious practice is really harmful to the heavens and the peace.

Based on the above reasons, although the Gu Sacrifice can create a Gu disaster, making it easier for the insects around the altar to become Gu worms, and the Gu worms created in this way are more difficult to be detected by people, and it is easier to spread the "poison" to other bugs, and they will all be manipulated by the owner of the natal Gu. Although the power of the Gu Sacrifice is not small, almost no one has used it. It's just because natal Gu is too rare.

"The ministers have checked it, and except for the corpse, the most important child corpse is missing, and the others are the same as described in the book." Yang Ling was also very worried, if this Gu sacrifice was really completed, then Huaguo would probably fall into a Gu disaster, and the people would definitely be killed and injured.

"Little Muzi, go and call Wang Gu over, quick!" Li Yiqian thought for a while, and directly asked people to call Wang Gu over, and the only one in the palace who was most likely to have a way to deal with this Gu worm was Wang Gu.

In addition, when checking the list of those corpses, the people below found that Mrs. Qian and her dowry were missing. Moreover, the portrait and jade carving of the Gu worm were also found in Mrs. Qian's residence. Chen speculated that it might have something to do with her at this time. Yang Ling added a very important clue.

As soon as Qian Ruyi was exposed here, something happened to the Qian Mansion, presumably there must be something related to this.

"Yang Ling, you go back first, let people stay outside the Taifu Mansion, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. As for the altar and the corpse, don't touch it yet, I'll send someone to deal with it later. ”

"Obey the order." After Yang Ling saluted, he hurriedly went out.

Li Yiqian remembered that he had seen in a book about the cracking method of the Gu Sacrifice, but it needed to be implemented within two days of the Gu Sacrifice being formed to be effective, and now he didn't know how long the altar had been built. His heart was unusually heavy.

Soon, the Valley of Kings came.

"You may unravel the Gu Sacrifice?" Before Wang Gu could catch his breath, Li Yiqian hurriedly asked.

Gu Sacrifice? Wang Gu was a little unfamiliar when he heard this name at first glance.

"Dare to ask the emperor, what is this Gu sacrifice ......" Wang Gu suddenly thought of something, and his eyes widened instantly, "But that legend of Lan Kingdom?" ”

"Exactly, have you heard of the solution?" Seeing that Wang Gu had heard of this thing, Li Yiqian breathed a sigh of relief.

"This ...... Wechen has only seen it in the classics, but has not really practiced it. The emperor mentioned it today, but what happened? Wang Gu asked in disbelief. This kind of thing that was listed as a legend actually made people get it, and he was a little difficult to accept for a while.

Li Yiqian briefly talked about the matter of Taifu's Mansion, and at the same time told the solution he knew, and asked Wang Gu what he thought about it.

Wang Gu recalled for a moment and said slowly: "What the minister has learned is also this method, but the time when this Gu sacrifice will take shape still needs to be known by Wei Chen himself." Also, I hope that the emperor can send someone to invite the master, the master has been studying these things that are a little out of the way since he said goodbye, and there may be a better way. ”

Hearing Wang Gu mention Zhang Xun, Li Yiqian's eyes lit up. Yes, how did he forget Zhang Xun.

"You go to the Taifu Mansion to have a look, and find out that if the matter of the Gu Sacrifice is true, you must find a way to crack it, I can't let Huaguo fall into such an uncertain danger. I will order someone to go to Zhang Xun and ask him to go to the Taifu Mansion with him. ”

"Yes."

Seeing that Li Yiqian had no other instructions, Wang Gu hurriedly retreated. Walking out of the Qiangong, Wang Gu went back first to get some medicinal materials that might be used, and then hurriedly left the palace.

And after he left, Li Yiqian ordered Hua San to find someone where Zhang Xun lived and brought him over. At the same time, he instructed the people of Long Yu to quietly enter the residence of Qian Ruyi in Muyou Palace while it was dark to search. Let's see if we can find any clues. And after he himself instructed Mu Xiu to deal with the affairs in the palace, he changed his clothes and turned around and entered the dark passage. He wants to go to Taifu's Mansion to have a look, otherwise this back and forth delivery of news will really delay time.

When Li Yiqian arrived at the Taifu Mansion, Zhang Xun had just arrived there, and when he saw him, he wanted to salute, but was forcibly held up by Li Yiqian. "It's getting late, you shouldn't have worked hard for the boss to make this trip, but it's really a big deal." Zhang Xun once saved Li Yiqian, so when he treats him, Li Yiqian always has a kind of respect in it.

"The emperor said seriously, it is the responsibility of old people to treat diseases and save people. Besides, the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, and this matter involves the safety of the people of our country. "Zhang Xun's medical skills and poison skills are very good, plus he has studied those things that are out of the way since he left the palace in the past few years, so his understanding of the lethality of Gu Sacrifice is even better than that of Li Yiqian and Wang Gu.

After Li Yiqian showed the token in the palace to the criminal department personnel at the door, the two walked inside while talking, and after a while, they came to the main courtyard where the corpse was placed.

As soon as I entered, I saw Wang Gu facing Mrs. Qian's corpse and didn't know what to do. Li Yiqian stood at the gate of the courtyard and did not make a sound, while Zhang Xun walked over directly. "How?"

As soon as Wang Gu saw that the master was coming, he suddenly had a backbone in his heart. To be honest, the first time he faced this legendary and dangerous thing, his heart was also flustered.

"Master, I don't think the corpse of this Qian Taifu is quite right. It stands to reason that the corpse of a person who has been hit by the corpse Gu will decompose much slower than ordinary people, but the corpse of this Qian Taifu is the same as that of ordinary people, and the disciple guesses if there is any reason for this? Wang Gu looked confused, as soon as he came in, he first came to see these corpses, it didn't matter, he discovered the abnormality of Qian Taifu's corpse almost instantly, and then he has been studying here.

"Oh? Let me see. Listening to his words, Zhang Xun had some guesses in his heart. Motioned for him to step aside and look at it himself.

Wang Gu watched his movements, and didn't dare to bother, and suddenly Zhang Xun turned back to him and said, "Go and get a scraper, and get a white cloth." ”

Does Master want to perform an autopsy? Although he didn't know what the use of doing this was, Wang Gu did it anyway. There would be no shortage of these autopsy items from the Ministry of Punishment, and he quickly got them back.

He only saw that Zhang Xun carefully cut the position of Mrs. Qian's heart, opened a big hole, and then leaked out an expression that was really like this, and there was a kind of relaxation along with this expression. After that, Zhang Xun carefully picked something out of his heart and put it on the white cloth spread aside.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Xun took out a bottle from the medicine box, which contained a green liquid. He put the things he had just taken out of the corpse into the bottle, and to Wang Gu's surprise, the liquid in the bottle was not stained red by Qian Taifu's blood, but became transparent.

Zhang Xun stared at the contents of the bottle for a long time, and finally leaked a smile. He said to Wang Gu and said, "As I expected, Gu'er, you did a good job." ”

Wang Gu was still confused. Zhang Xun ignored him, took his things and walked towards Li Yiqian at the door.

"Looking at the appearance of the old man, it is time to find a way to crack this Gu sacrifice." Li Yiqian looked at Zhang Xun's appearance, and obviously breathed a sigh of relief.

However, he was still surprised by Zhang Xun's next words.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, this Gu sacrifice has not yet been completed!" Zhang Xun said with great certainty.

"What?" Li Yiqian, Wang Gu, who followed closely, and Yang Ling, who hurried over when he heard that they were coming, were all surprised.

"This official just took someone to dig up the last child corpse, the altar and corpse of this Gu sacrifice are all consistent with what is recorded in the book, dare to ask the old imperial doctor Ling, why do you want to say that this Gu sacrifice has not been completed?" Although Yang Ling was happy with Zhang Xun's words, he still had to ask clearly, so as not to really let the people of Huaguo suffer that disaster.

Yang Ling's words also asked Li Yiqian and Wang Gu's thoughts.
