"Lee Jae-yeon," Baozi asked, "Is it true that the souls of the three dead are not in the underworld?" ”

"Absolutely no one came to report, not a single one" Li Zaiyuan is very sure

"Can't find it in all directions?"

"It's almost evaporated from the world," Li Zaiyuan said with certainty, "Yin soldiers are looking for it in all directions, but they can't find it." ”

"Is there anyone here who knows about this evil magic?"

The third prince hurriedly replied, "I know a little below, it was the time of the Ming Dynasty." Emperor Jiajing was very fond of a Taoist priest named Tao Zhongwen. But this Tao Zhongwen is not right, he knows that Emperor Jiajing is bent on praying for immortality, so since he entered the palace, he started from this matter and tried every means to win Jiajing's favor. He recommended to the emperor an elixir called "Yuanxing Pure Red Pill", which, according to him, could achieve the effect of immortality after taking this medicine. After Jiajing heard this, he believed it and immediately sent people to various places to collect the necessary medicinal materials for refining the pill.

However, the medicinal materials of this medicine are easy to obtain, but the medicine is very difficult to find. This "Yuanxing Pure Red Pill" is actually the "Red Pill" mentioned by later generations, also known as the Red Lead Pill, which is just a special aphrodisiac, but it can indeed make people feel that their energy is greatly increased and their blood is smooth in a short period of time after taking it. The preparation method of this red pill is very special, and it must be used as a medicine for the first menstrual period of a virgin. The Taoist priests put the collected virgin menstrual blood in gold or silver vessels, plus the first drop of dew collected in the middle of the night, and then added various medicines such as black plum, boiled 7 times in a row, so that the medicine was concentrated into a viscous form, and then added frankincense, myrrh, cinnabar, pine resin and other things with coagulant effect, refined with fire, and finally refined into pills.

Therefore, in order to refine this "immortal medicine", more than 1,000 girls between the ages of 10 and 14 were selected in various places during the Jiajing period to enter the palace for election, and these girls were turned into medicine residues. And Emperor Jiajing himself died from this red pill, and the "Red Pill Case" is known as one of the three major mystery cases in the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Jiajing did die at a very young age," Mr. Lee said, "and he didn't get any immortal products." When his soul was included in the underworld, he had a relationship with Zaixia, and when he asked him why he did evil as an emperor, he just cried bitterly and was silent, and he regretted the matter of the red pill. ”

"Yes, there are more than one or two people in the human race who have misunderstandings about cultivating immortals, and they always want to reach the path of cultivation through shortcuts. In particular, some high-ranking and powerful people, who have the power of life and death in their hands, often can't help themselves to do harmful things. Baozi sighed lightly, "Cultivating immortals is just enlightenment, and the path of cultivating immortals is equal to all living beings, whether it is humans, animals, ghosts, or monsters, whoever participates in the enlightenment of the avenue can ascend to immortality." None of the opportunists have a good death? ”

"This can't help but remind people of the old centipede's alchemy with a virgin soul, when he was coerced by Meizi, but the elixir he practiced was sent to the underworld for bribery." Zhu Wu recalled the past, and couldn't help but feel palpitations: "Once the three views of an immortal cultivator are distorted, they are not much worse than evil ghosts." ”

"So, has there ever been a thing of refining any elixir with the soul of the All Yin before?" Bun asked again.

"There are very few people who are pure yin in eight characters. People with pure yin are very spiritual, and they are often not suitable for learning Taoist techniques that may conjure spirits, which will damage wealth and yang, and their fortune will be ups and downs. But if you use the life soul of a pure yin person to refine the pill, this elixir must be extremely yin, even if you use the body to go to the underworld, the underworld army and the underworld general will not be able to recognize it, and think that he is also a soul! Li Zaiyuan said, "In the next year, such a monk was captured, and they used such a Yin Pill to possess their body, wandering between the underworld and the human world, bribing the underworld soldiers to steal back their souls from the sun, and helping the people in the yang world to come back to life." ”

"But...," Li Zaiyuan hesitated, "I won't kill so many people..."

"And all the corpses were smashed through the Tianling lid and hung on the door beams of each house," the bun provided finer information.

"It seems like a ritual." Zhu Wu said, "Back then, there was a monk who cultivated evil methods in Luding Mountain, who secretly used southwest witchcraft to kill eleven nearby villagers, detained all the souls and practiced Yin Dan, and all the corpses were pierced with spears and hung in the altar like dried fish. Later, it was cracked by us, and at that time, he only needed to kill one more person to practice the Yin Pill. After our examination, we know that this priest wants to cultivate through evil methods, and then incarnate as a psychic Taoist, and do tricks in the yang world to cheat money and sex, and even do things to get rich, and then bribe officials, deceive an official and a half-position, and mix in the court. ”

Baozi wrote down the birthdays of the three deceased and asked everyone to study the law. Except for the all-yin pattern, Li Zaiyuan and the third prince couldn't see any connection, and Li Zaiyuan even sent officers and soldiers to transfer the records of the three people's previous lives, but they didn't find any connection.

"General Li, how many people are there in our provincial capital," Bao Zi asked

"Although it is rare for these eight characters to be full of yin, if you calculate carefully, there are no less than 1,000 people in Dafang Town."

"It seems that it is very difficult to send people to monitor these thousand people," Zhu Wu replied

Zhu Wu raised his head again, "Look, these three people are the numerology pattern of the earth gold man, the earth fire man, and the earth wood man, is this considered a connection?" ”

Everyone analyzed it according to Zhu Wu's train of thought, and said one after another, "That's the case, if you deduce according to the five elements, this killer will kill two more people, respectively, the earth and soil of the whole yin, and the earth and water of the whole yin!" ”

"This group of guys is going to obtain the life souls of five Quanyin people with different attributes!"

The bun slapped his thigh, "so that you can narrow it down." General Lee, you check again."

Li Zaiyuan then arranged for the Yin soldiers to retrieve the list, dozens of clerks checked it repeatedly, and handed over the list to Li Zaiyuan half an hour later, "There is one person who is full of land and water, and the land is full of old Zhang who does small business in the trade city." And the earth is full of water....."

"Who is it?"

"It's Roland"

"What!" The crowd was amazed, "Nothing wrong?" ”

"Infallible, the one who is full of water is Roland."

"Hurry up and arrange for people to protect the two people" Baozi ordered, he looked a little flustered, he recalled the old man's deep look at Roland's eyes, and his heart was pounding, the old man must have seen something, and seemed to be coerced to say it directly.

Zhu Wu shouted, three white giant foxes appeared in the courtyard, Zhu Wu instructed the three foxes to face to face, the giant fox nodded frequently, and then squatted down with his head down, turning into three young men. Zhu Wu instructed, "We must protect the vendor surnamed Zhang, and if there is a situation, it will be transmitted for thousands of miles."

The three of them hurried away after bowing their hands to Zhu Wu.

"I'll protect Roland's side," Baozi said, "Roland usually has a lot of classes, and I'm the most suitable for her." ”

Everyone nodded yes. Baozi did not forget to tell Li Zaiyuan to withdraw Professor Li Ruchang, because the vicious battle that may occur at any time may hurt Li Ruchang's soul, and Li Zaiyuan was ordered to do it.
