It is based on this speculation that Uncle Li will follow the clues of the warlocks who strangely jumped out of the city and disappeared as soon as they returned to Cangzhou City, and observed and tested Shen Ruchao several times, but Shen Ruchao can also be called an acting school, every word and deed, everywhere seems to be loyal to the monarch and loves the people, and always puts on a face of fighting to the death, not showing a flaw at all.

During this period, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou inadvertently discovered the mysterious courtyard, and that night Uncle Li also happened to come out to check the mansion, wanting to see if he could find some clues that confirmed his suspicion of Shen Ruchao, and saw Yang Yi and Wei Ergou fighting to the death with those ghoul boys, so they helped, but they didn't want to find a bigger shocking secret in the courtyard, that is, there was an ancient well that was imprisoned by the demon of crazy bones, and what was even more terrifying was that That crazy bone seemed to be just some kind of evil protector sealed in the ancient well, and this unexpected and earth-shattering discovery made Uncle Li almost crazy

As a result, Li Shu'er had a greater worry, that is, what was sealed in the ancient well, it and the Seven Killing Calamity

Is there a necessary connection between the calamities that come to pass? Because of all this, there was no clue about all this, and in desperation, Li Shu'er had to venture into the Taiping army camp to see if they could find anything in the Taiping army, and then extrapolate all these foggy and strange things that happened in Cangzhou City, hoping to break the deadlock.

However, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou's trip to the Taiping Army, in addition to turning the Taiping Army's camp upside down, the biggest gain was to confirm that Ji Wenyuan was also raising Zuo Dao Warlocks, and abducted back a beautiful girl like a flower, Zhongli Yiyi.

Speaking of this, Uncle Li raised his eyes and looked at Zhongli Yiyi, who was sitting under the lamp and listening to Uncle Li's words, smiled meaningfully, and then continued to drink the old wine and chatter.

Li Shu'er said that after hearing that Yang Yi and Wei Ergou saw those Miao Jiang warlocks in the military tent of Ji Wenyuan of the Taiping Army, Li Shu'er's heart moved, and he immediately connected them with the so-called warlocks who jumped out of the city and fought with the Taiping soldiers and disappeared, so in the name of visiting Shen Ruchao's illness, he took Yang Yi and Wei Ergou to Shen Ruchao's bedroom, and asked Yang Yi to draw the portraits of those warlocks for Shen Ruchao to identify, then Shen Ruchao naturally denied knowing those warlocks, but when Li Shu'er took his pulse, However, he found that his pulse was disordered, which was clearly a manifestation of his heartbeat after being stimulated by some kind of stimulation, which also proved that he not only recognized those warlocks, but also those warlocks were probably the same people who had defected from him to Ji Wenyuan of the Taiping Army.

As for why those warlocks wanted to mix into the Taiping Army camp from Cangzhou City, there are two possibilities, one is that those left-handed warlocks were tempted by Naji Wenyuan with a lot of money and took the initiative to serve in the Taiping Army. The second is that those leftist warlocks were secretly ordered by Shen Ruchao or others to infiltrate the Taiping army camp, and then wait for an opportunity to implement some kind of plan and conspiracy. Judging from Shen Ruchao's suspicious behavior of trying his best to shield those Left Dao Warlocks, it is very likely that there is some kind of contract between him and those Left Dao Warlocks, in other words, the behavior of those Left Dao Warlocks is closer to the second inference.

Shen Ruchao is a dignified court official, why would he fight with these leftist cultists who have always been regarded by the government as a thorn in the side of the chaos, this is what Uncle Li has been unable to figure out, until that day after seeing Shen Ruchao's description of the withered sick face, Uncle Li's heart suddenly brightened, a bold idea germinated in his heart, and in the process of verifying this bold idea, Li Shu'er also caused Shen Ruchao's sudden change of face, and he wanted to put Li Shu'er to death and then quickly.

So, what did Uncle Li discover that made Shen Ruchao willing to turn against Uncle Li and make enemies of the world. That is, through various signs, Li Shu'er deduced that Shen Ruchao was likely to use those left-handed warlocks to "plant a foundation" for him in order to continue his life, but he accidentally left the news and aroused Shen Ruchao's vigilance, which made him not hesitate to turn his face with Li Shu'er and face each other.

"Seed seeding? What is a kind of biobase? Hearing a term popping out of Uncle Li'er's mouth that they had never heard of, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou couldn't help but ask Uncle Li in unison.

"The two of you are getting more and more fucking tacit, "This is very good for you to join forces to subdue demons and eliminate demons in the future, not bad." Li Shu'er looked at Yang Yi and Wei Ergou with a smile, and his expression seemed very pleased, "The so-called seed life base is the name of "burial life base", which is actually the "foundation of life", which means that the living should be done by the dead. The seed is derived from the Jiangxi Taoist school. This technique originates from ancient customs, and the Hakka people also have the saying of 'burying the living base', which is nothing more than the meaning of being buried alive, so they have a nursery rhyme singing 'good color goes fast, and the landslide collapses, you have to bury the life base'. The original seed was to bury people alive and fake their deaths once, in order to deceive the immortal officials of law enforcement and avoid catastrophe. Later, it evolved into the technique of "Yin House and Yang Use", burying their own stand-ins in advance to absorb the dragon's lair and earth, prolong life and increase blessings, similar to the common people for Qing officials or benefactors to build "living worship" or set up "birthday Lu position" to worship, and return merit to Engong. Historically, there have been many allusions to the birth of officials. For example, in the Spring and Autumn Period, Yu Rang avenged his master Zhibo, assassinated Zhao Xiangzi twice, Zhao felt his chivalry, released it, and Yu Rang was executed for the third time, the crime was unforgivable, but Zhao Gong also took off his robe, Yu Rang hit the robe with three swords, and killed himself. There is also that Cao Cao clearly ordered the three armies not to step on the green seedlings, and those who violated the order were beheaded, but the mount was frightened and trampled into the wheat field, and for the discipline of the Ming army, he cut off his beard and beheaded him with cutting his hair. These are not tricks, but the ancients believed that hair, claws, blood, and clothes all carry spirits. Therefore, the corpse could not be found, and it was replaced with a clothed grave. ”

Speaking of this, Uncle Li suddenly looked at Liu Ruoxue and asked, "Peach girl, do you remember that once you told me that Shen Ruchao looked like he was possessed by a ghost?" ”

"Of course I remember, uncle, that Shen Ruchao's face is pale and pale, and the black qi of Tiancong in the center of his eyebrows is gathered under the skin, which is clearly a sign of too much yin qi in his body and a long life, am I wrong?" Liu Ruoxue looked at Uncle Li and replied with some apprehension.

"You see it right, but at that time, Uncle heard it and didn't take it to heart, and then combined with these clues, Uncle suddenly remembered, aren't these just the various manifestations of the seed base?" Uncle Li closed his eyes, twisted his beard with his hand, opened it halfway, and said slowly: "The foundation of planting the foundation of life is the fundamental meaning, that is, the foundation of the tomb building is buried in the ground. Our Taoism has the saying of "three souls and seven spirits", the soul is scattered in the heaven and earth and the body, and the art of the foundation is to write the eight characters of the birth date containing the hair, claws, blood, clothes, etc. of the living spirit, and put it in the coffin, and bury it in the dragon's lair on the chosen day. The main purpose of planting the foundation is to absorb the aura of the dragon vein to repay the living, increase blessings and prolong life, and the truth is like burying the bones of the ancestors in the dragon's lair to shelter the descendants of the yin house feng shui. Since the cultivation of the foundation to enjoy the blessings of non-sharing is to take away the blessings of others and give them to oneself to enjoy, so it is necessary to accumulate virtue and do good deeds and repay the blessings, otherwise the blessings will be lost in the evening, or even die. And the warlock who casts this spell is like a person who helps to commit abuse, and he will also lose his good life, and after he has gained wealth, he must always disperse it. Unless the warlock knows that the patron is a trustworthy person, he will not cast a spell lightly, so as not to kill his own yang longevity. ”

"At this time, you always know that this kind of foundation is an evil art that will harm yourself and others if you don't do it well, right? However, why were those Left Dao Warlocks willing to take such a big risk to build a foundation for that Shen Ruchao? As the saying goes, if you can't afford to be early, those leftist warlocks must have some intentions, right? Trying to make money, in all fairness, Shen Ruchao can be called honest and thrifty as an official, and he wants to take out a large amount of silver to continue his life, even my uncle I don't believe it, besides, if those left-handed warlocks want to rely on this method to cheat money, why don't they go to the capital to lobby those princes and nobles, and the silver dust pulled down by the fingers of those princes and nobles is more than the silver in the Cangzhou city management treasury. Uncle Li leaned forward, approached Yang Yi and Wei Ergou and asked, "What do you think those Left Dao Warlocks would be in order to take the risk of being punished and repulsed by God to plant a foundation for that Shen Ruchao?" ”

Yang Yi and Wei Ergou were embarrassed when they heard this, but they are both smart people, and after listening to Uncle Li for a long time, they always feel that there is something that Uncle Li has not touched, or is deliberately avoiding it, but what is it?

After meditating for a while, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou suddenly seemed to have an understanding, looked at Uncle Li together and said with a smile: "Uncle, are you drinking too much or are you trying to test us, you have been talking for a long time, why don't you mention the cultists who we met in Shanxi who transported Linglong Yan to Cangzhou City, and the Master Cui who was responsible for picking up the goods in Cangzhou City, who is this old man, we still don't know anything...... I'll go, you won't think that Shen Ruchao is Master Cui, right?! ”

Speaking of this, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou couldn't help but look at Uncle Li with wide eyes, shocked by this bold and completely unreliable conjecture.

"," Uncle Li glanced at Yang Yi and Wei Ergou, and scoffed at the bold and frantic inferences of the two of them, "The more you talk about it, the more likely it is, in fact, this is very simple, that is, these leftist warlocks are brewing a big conspiracy, and if this conspiracy succeeds, Shen Ruchao must be alive, and besides, this conspiracy may also involve the Taiping army outside the city, so you will send those warlocks you have fought to serve in Ji Wenyuan's military tent, so that you can respond at any time when necessary, this time you should understand, right?" ”
