Chapter 3: The Truth

Chu Tian frowned, and immediately asked, "Do you know that wine is poisonous?" ”

"I don't know."

"Then why did you let Qingyue drink wine and drink tea by yourself." Chu Tian asked nervously.

"I can't drink alcohol, I get a rash all over my body." The voice of the tide is innocent. Chu Tian exhaled deeply, he didn't expect such an answer.

"Meow, you said yes." Qiao'er jumped onto the table and observed the flask.

Chu Tian turned around and held the wine jug on the table, and read, "Mandala Hua." "Silent thought in my heart took me back to the time when the poison was put into the jug.

The ferryman has two spells, Manju Sawa and Mandala Hua. The first spell is to control the person to lose consciousness and speak the truth, and it can only be cast once on a person.

The second spell is to hold an item and go back in time to see what happened in relation to the item, and the second spell can only be cast once a day.

Chu Tian came to the back kitchen, the wine jug was placed on the table, and there were several cooks around, as well as maids going in and out to get things.

Everyone was in a hurry, and there was no time to take care of anything else.

Suddenly, a beautiful maid in a green shirt walked in, and the kitchen manager saw her come in and immediately said, "Shiyin is here, quickly bring a glass of wine to the cave room." We've been busy for most of the day. ”

Shiyin didn't answer immediately, looked around, slowly walked to the wine pot and said, "The Seventh Prince told me to bring the pot of tea to the cave room, he said that you are ready, I will send the tea first." ”

The kitchen manager sorted out the plates, and said without raising his head: "Yes, okay, just the copper teapot next to the wine jug." ”

Shiyin quickly opened the lid of the wine pot, put in a pill, and quietly picked up the teapot next to him and said, "I'll call Xiao Wu to serve the wine." With that, he walked out with a teapot.

Chu Tian was hesitating to chase him out to take a look, when Qiao'er appeared in front of her and said, "Meow." The hour is near. ”

Chu Tian sighed softly: "I also know who the real poisoner is." He closed his eyes and returned to the cave.

Chu Tian looked out the window, the cold moonlight, the cold fireworks in the distance, it was indeed time, she snapped her fingers, and Zhixi came back to her senses.

She quickly poured a glass of wine and said to Zhixi: "I know that your heart belongs, and I drank this glass of wine myself." To each his own life. With that, Chu poured the wine in the cup and drank it all.

Chu Tian looked at Zhixi, he was stunned and wanted to say something, but before he could say it, his face slowly blurred in front of Chu Tian's eyes. Chu Tian lost consciousness while waiting for the pain.

=====

When he woke up again, Chu Tian felt a headache and his body was also very sore.

As soon as Chu Tian opened his eyes, he saw a pair of big round eyes staring at him, and he was so frightened that he slapped away the thing in front of him and almost jumped up.

With a miserable cat meow, Chu Tian saw that it was Qiao'er. Before he could say a word of sorry, Chu Tian was stunned.

She was still in the cave room, and Zhixi was sitting at the table in front of her, looking at her as if she had just woken up.

Ignoring the headache and body aches, she immediately jumped up, grabbed Qiao'er and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Looking at Chu Tian's reaction, Zhixi looked puzzled, stood up and said, "You finally woke up." "The voice was a little dry and tired.

Before the words fell, Li'er rushed in, ran to Chu Tian with a crying voice, and said as she ran: "Miss, I thought you wouldn't wake up, Miss." Li'er was followed by a few maids and guards, serving dishes, towels, and medicine pots. There were also two people who looked like medical officers.

Chu Tian threw Qiao'er on the bed and shouted, "Wait a minute! You go out first! I don't care what happens, now, right now, you all get out. ”

Li'er stopped, her expression frozen in place. Everyone looked at each other, a little overwhelmed.

Zhixi's expression was also confused.

Chu Tian controlled his emotions: "Wait a minute, I called you in." ”

Zhixi turned around and said, "Let's all go out first." With that, he walked out first. Li'er followed Zhixi, kept looking back at Chu Tian, and reluctantly walked out with the others and closed the door.

As soon as everyone left, Chu Tian immediately turned around and squatted down and asked Qiao'er in a low voice, "What's the matter?" What happened? Why am I still in Qingyue's body? Something is wrong......"

Qiao'er sighed, with some helplessness in her voice: "Don't worry, it's come to this." ”

Chu Tian interrupted Qiao'er, with an impatient face: "What has come to this, you hurry up." Didn't complete my mission? ”

"Meow. You did not die after drinking the poisoned wine, but fell into a coma, and have been in a coma for three days now. In the past three days, I went back and forth to the underworld, informed Meng Po of this incident, and consulted many scriptures. Meng Po and I speculate that you have fallen under the curse of devouring the soul of the gods. ”

Hearing this, Chu Tian was even more uneasy, and asked eagerly, "What do you mean?" So my mission failed? How do I get back? ”

"If you fall under the curse of the god-devouring soul, you won't be able to die if you are going to die.

It also means you can't go back now. You'll have to kill the God-Eater and go back. If the God-Eater kills you, the Blue Moon will be gone, and your quest will start from scratch.

If you kill the resentful spirit, then everything will be business as usual, and Aotsuki will get the answer and be reincarnated. You have successfully completed your mission and been reincarnated. ”

Chu was on the verge of collapse after listening, and when he was only one step away from forgetting everything and being reincarnated, he encountered such a broken thing.

Chu Tian raised his voice and said, "What kind of ghost and resentment, old lady, I ...... Where is the resentful soul, I will go and kill him now, so that his soul will be scattered, and it will be a big deal. I'm so angry with my mother! ”

When the Li'er outside the door heard what Chu Tian said, she trembled in fright, and looked up at the people around her, and everyone was dumbfounded.

Li'er pushed the guards on the side: "You go farther, I'll call you later." I thought to myself, fortunately, the prince is gone, otherwise it would be embarrassing to hear Miss speak like this, and I don't know how Miss is poisoned now, how do you feel that her brain is not clear first, and she muttered in her heart that Miss wouldn't be crazy.

Qiao'er was also frightened by Chu Tian's eyes widened, and a wide-eyed cat looked a little funny: "You, you be quiet, now you can't go back to the underworld, you better play the role of the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion first." The God-devouring soul may have wanted the Qingyue soul to fly away, so he cast this spell. There's basically no way to find the Wraith, and unless he comes to us, he'll come to you. Because he's going to kill you. ”

Chu Tian shuddered, and then he was engulfed in anger again, slapped the table and said, "I've been doing this work for thousands of years, how come I haven't encountered the God Devouring Spirit, how come I haven't even heard of it." It's just my last task, how to run out of one. I'm! If I were to go back and start all over again for thousands of years, and die tens of thousands of times, it would be better for me to be dissolved. ”

Qiao'er said patiently: "You haven't heard of it, that's because you don't read much." ”

Chu Tian turned his head and glared at Qiao'er fiercely, Qiao'er shrank and continued: "It is also because the God-devouring resentful soul is extremely difficult to encounter, and the classics say that the god-devouring resentful soul may not be able to encounter it in ten thousand years. Such a resentful soul suffered a lot of grievances before he died, and his heart was extremely resentful, and he must have been a good person before he died. I don't want to go back to the underworld. He sacrificed his soul to the king of Hades, and suffered the punishment of the nineteen layers of hell, and there will never be a day of reincarnation, just to fulfill a wish in his heart. ”

After hearing this, Chu Tian sat down in his chair: "Taste the punishment of the nineteenth layer of hell......" Just thinking of the names of those punishments, Chu Tian's scalp was numb.

Although she herself has died more than 90,000 times, she has never tried torture to death, and the torture of the nineteenth layer is worth dying millions of times.

Qiao'er knocked on the door and said, "Miss, the lord and the lady are here." ”

Chu Tian stuffed Qiao'er back under the bed, and quickly lay back in the quilt, pretending to be weak.

As soon as Mrs. Qin entered the door, she hurriedly walked to Chu Tian's side, although Qin Xiang was holding it, and did not disregard her demeanor like Madame, but the anxious look on her face could not be concealed.

"Yue'er, Yue'er, you're awake. Good thing you're okay. Saying that, Madame cried, and she choked up and said, "The Seventh Prince said that he would definitely find out the person who poisoned him." ”

Chu Tian saw his wife crying like this, and couldn't bear to say in his heart: "Mother, don't cry." Isn't that okay with me? Chu Qian glanced at Zhixi and walked in.

Qin Xiang said: "See the Seventh Prince." ”

Zhixi lightly helped Qin Xiang and said: "Qin Xiang, please get up, the responsibility for this matter lies with me." It's me who doesn't protect Qingyue well, and I should confess to you. ”

Qin Xiang shook his head: "Don't blame the prince, don't blame the prince." I'm afraid that this poisoner wants to harm the prince. ”

When everyone heard this, their hearts trembled.

Zhixi didn't say anything more, looked in the direction of Chu Tian and said, "I will definitely find out the truth and not let Qingyuebai be wronged." ”

=====

After everyone left, Chu Tian asked Qiao'er to go back to the underworld and bring back a few books. Chu Tian can't go back now, but fortunately, he can go back.

After deliberating for a long time, Chu Tian and Qiao'er sorted out the clues: First of all, this god-devouring resentful soul must hate Qingyue very much, and if you want to take the initiative to find him, you have to find someone who hates her so much.

At the moment, it is clear that the person who wants to kill her now must be someone who hates her very much, and may have set up a game to let her die, and then let her be dissipated when she is possessed.

Of course, if he hates Qingyue so much, he should want to kill her with his own hands again, so the God-devouring resentful soul is likely to do it himself. And so on is also a way.

It's a bit problematic that it doesn't seem to have been around for many years, so there are almost no books about God-Eater's Wraith. And the only one who understands the god-thirsty soul king and the hell soul slayer is the person who can't be reached by Chu Tian, a low-status ferryman.

What's more, the ferryman himself is not allowed to come into contact with other people in hell, and completing all tasks alone is also part of the mission.

After sorting out the clues, Chu Tian planned to go to the cell first to ask the person who was going to poison her, but the maid looked like a person who didn't have much opinion and was at the mercy of others.

Chu Tian walked to the door of Zhixi's study, hesitated slightly, this was the first time she had come to him alone since that night. I thought it was just a one-sided relationship, but I didn't think I would see it every day now.

The front of the study is full of begonia flowers, and the seclusion of the courtyard makes the night charming.

Chu Tian was still at the door and watched the begonia flowers pacing lightly, and the door opened. She turned her head to meet those bright and beautiful eyes, and her heart missed a beat, Chu Tian felt that the feeling of missing a beat must be because of Qingyue's infatuated Zhixi's body.

"I was looking for you. Come on in. Zhixi glanced at Chu Tian and opened the door as he slowly walked back to the desk.

Chu Tian saw that there was no one around, closed the door, and then Xi walked to the desk and asked, "What are you looking for me?" ”

Zhixi was stunned, Qingyue was always hesitant when she saw her before, and she didn't dare to speak. At night in the cave room, she was different from usual, and today is different.

He asked, "Why did you say that night?" ”

Chu Tian avoided Zhixi's gaze, she expected him to ask like this, and said in a slightly softened voice: "I had a dream the night before, and I dreamed that you said about marriage, the order of your parents, and the words of the matchmaker. You can't help yourself. But you already have a girl in your heart, but you don't want to get married. Chu Qian slightly changed what he was going to say.

At the end of the words, Chu tilted his eyes to Zhixi, pretending to explore. This sentence was exactly the same as what Xi had planned to say that night, his pupils were slightly open, a little panicked, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Chu Tian turned around, pretending to be uncertain, and said, "I don't know if it's true or not, but the dream is too real." So I said angry words that night. She paused for a moment and continued, "I'm here tonight to ask you for a charter."

Zhixi apologized and didn't want to continue the conversation that night, and asked, "What concession?" ”

Chu Tian turned to look at Zhixi and said in a firm voice, "I want to interrogate Shiyin personally." I dreamed that she put a pill in a flask. ”

Zhixi frowned slightly, and there were many doubts in his eyes: "Shiyin? Did you have a dream? Immediately, his eyes twitched.

Chu Tian understood the wavering in his eyes, and then said, "I started a few days ago, and I always dream at night. But it's also strange that most of these dreams come true in the daytime.

Also, I'm a little squeezed into the past. After waking up from the poisoning, it was even more serious, and I basically forgot everything about the past. ”

Zhixi lowered his head and thought for a moment and said, "Okay." I will send with you. ”

Chu Tian nodded, grateful in his heart. Just about to turn around, Zhixi said, "Wait a minute." ”

Chu tilted his face to look at Zhixi, the candlelight silhouette of his face was angular, Zhixi pursed his lips lightly and said: "These few nights, if you want to read official documents, I will temporarily live in the side room." ”

Chu Qian smiled, she still thought what was the matter, and said in a relaxed tone: "It's okay, the husband is busy with official business, and he has every opportunity, and the concubine understands herself." You can live in this side room for as long as you want. He also deliberately aggravated the word husband.

He bowed and left. Zhixi froze in place, another unexpected answer, an indescribable feeling.
