"This is no small matter, please believe me. Gui Ping paused and began to speak hesitantly.

A few months ago, the princess Guiping went to her father's palace to ask for peace, but the lord of the kingdom Guijiao was not there, and when he was bored, Guiping looked through the recital that Guijiao was about to review, and accidentally found a strange thing written in a memorabilia, which roughly meant as follows:

There is a mountain village in the northwest of the land of the earth, and there are about 100 villagers living in the village, but overnight, the whole village, regardless of men, women, and children, are mysteriously missing, and after more than half a month of investigation, the reason for the disappearance of the villagers has not been found, and there is no abnormal place in the village, so there are constant rumors that it is the work of ghosts.

My father has always been calm and calm, and he doesn't believe in those ghost legends, so in order to find out the truth of the matter, he personally took the national teacher and a few personal guards to find out, and Lone Sword was among the people.

But ten days later, only the cocoon master returned with his father, and the other guards were all missing. And after his father returned, he was in a coma, and only the sword of the lone sword protected his left and right, and no stranger was allowed to approach.

I asked Cocoon what had happened to them on their trip and why Lone Sword had disappeared.

However, Cocoon did not give any explanation, and also contacted the ministers to say that the lord of the country was seriously ill, and had issued an edict to temporarily manage all state affairs on his behalf, because Cocoon held military power, so I was helpless, and no one around me could be trusted.

When Cocoon brought my father back, I was the only one who could get close to him, so I personally brought my father back to the palace and found that there was a copper coin hidden in my father's hand.

"What kind of copper coin is it?" asked Shui Lu.

"That's it, please look~!" As he spoke, Guiping took out a copper coin from the bracelet and handed it to Shui Lu to look at.

Shui Lu glanced at Guiping's bracelet casually, and then reached out to take the copper coin, it is normal for the royal family to have a space ornament that can store items.

I saw that the copper coin looked very old, with a thick layer of yellow paste on it, revealing an old atmosphere.

"This copper coin is not simple, judging from the thickness of the bread pulp alone, it is at least nearly a hundred years ago~!" Shui Mo glanced at the copper coin in Shui Lu's hand and said.

"Oh~!Can you let me see?" After Tianxing saw that Jade Rabbit was asleep, he gently put her down, and then got up and came to Shui Lu's side and spoke.

Shui Lu didn't say anything and handed the copper coin in his hand to Tianxing.

Tianxing placed the copper coin in front of his eyes, frowned and looked carefully: "Hey, there seems to be words on it~!"

Everyone leaned over to take a look, and it was faintly visible under the pulp that there was a strange text depicted on the surface of the copper coin, but due to the age and wear, the word had become blurred, and it looked like a ghost word.

Tianxing flipped the copper coin in his hand over, and found that there was a strange pattern printed on the back of it, and only a human face could be faintly seen, but it had a pair of antennae on its head and a pair of fangs exposed on its upper jaw.

"It's like an Ant-Man~!" Tianxing muttered.

"Does this copper coin mean anything?" asked Shui Lu with a sideways face.

Guiping thought for a moment and asked, "I don't know if you've heard of the legend of the 'Moth' clan?"

Tianxing looked at Shui Lu and Shui Mo, and the three of them all shook their heads.

Seeing their bewildered eyes, Keihei began to tell the story of the 'Oni' clan:

Legend has it that on the northwestern edge of the land of earth, in the vast desert guarded by the Chiyan Valley, there was once a tribe that had a small castle where the people lived were called the Oni Clan. The local inhabitants are brutal by nature, do all kinds of evil, do not learn and do no skills, lack etiquette, and advocate the deformed aesthetic concept of 'evil as beauty', and derive terrible customs. They are covered in hideous tattoos, have dark green eyes like hungry wolves, and like to control insects to rob passing caravans, burn and loot, and commit many crimes.

Later, it finally attracted the wrath of the heavens, and the sand and dust from the sky raged down, burying the ghosts and ghosts overnight, and no one survived, and since then the desert has been reduced to a dead sand dune.

Since then, every time someone passes by that sand dune, the otherwise calm desert will suddenly become stormy and sandstormy. In the midst of the dust, a gloomy city looms, swallowing all the passers-by, and it is said that it is a ghost town formed by the resentment of the ghost people.

Gradually, no one dared to approach there, and the desert was named "Moth Desert".

"Could it be that the disappearance of the people of that village has something to do with the legend of the 'Ghost Clan'?

Guiping sighed, and continued: "Yes, during this time, I kept searching for various books, and finally found that the pattern on the back of this coin is actually the totem of the ghost moth clan. But the hateful thing is that after Cocoon came back, he issued an edict, saying that there was a 'Moth Desert' there, and no one was allowed to go to investigate and approach, and I have no power in the hands of a royal woman, so I have not been able to find out the truth so far, it seems that our Gui clan is doomed. ”

Shui Lu didn't have any interest in everything about his royal family, and when he saw Gui Ping in tears, he asked, "Then what does this have to do with the Soul Palace?"

Keipyeong wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and replied: "Originally, I had always wondered why only Cocoon could come back safely alone, and where did the others go, but then in the memory of the fake 'Guiping' just now, I got the answer." ”

Guiping glanced at the people around him, and continued: "It turns out that the owner of the 'Guiping' mouth is Cocoon, and Cocoon's true identity is actually the messenger of the Hades Temple. ”

"How did you find out?" Shui Lu asked Keihei sharply when he heard this.

Gui Ping sighed and said: "It's not a secret, more than ten years ago, after the death of the hall master of the Underworld Hall, in order to improve his means, the lords of the five countries secretly arranged a messenger in various countries, just to help the lords of various countries eliminate potential crises in a timely manner, this has always been a secret that is not known to outsiders, and some of the cultivation resources of the Underworld Hall over the years have also been provided by the five countries. ”

Shui Lu and the others were incredulous when they heard this, "What~!How can this be? I don't believe it~ Our various sects are fighting hard to protect the safety of all countries, and why are you doing this to protect our enemies?!"

"I don't need to hide it at this point, in fact, to put it bluntly, the Spirit Hall is the Lord of the Five Kingdoms, in order to better monitor the eyes of the various sects, there are countless large and small gangs in each country, there must be some means to monitor them, once anyone has the intention of rebellion, then the Spirit Hall will help the Five Kingdoms eradicate them when necessary, and you can't expect anything from you, the Protector Sect, if you rebel, who can suppress you? On the contrary, as long as there are disputes between you, the state can better dissipate your strength to achieve the purpose of control and management. ”

Hearing this, Shui Lu gritted his jade teeth and glared at Guiping fiercely.

Tianxing kept sighing and shaking his head, he was now an ordinary person who had left the Maple Wood Sect, so in his eyes, these infighting also felt a little indifferent.

"Actually, you don't need to stare at me like that, if you are willing to help me regain the throne, I am willing to swear to heaven that from the day I ascend the throne as king, I will sever all ties with the Temple of the Dead. If you don't help me, when Cocoon becomes the lord of the country, or becomes the person who can operate the lord of the country, then he will provide all the resources to the Immortal Temple.

When Tianxing heard what Guiping said, he asked, "Are you saying that all this was premeditated by Cocoon, and he wants to control the rights of the Earth Country?"

Keihei nodded, "Yes, he uses replicants to replace those who do not obey his management, and finally achieves his ulterior motives." I suspect that my father was poisoned by him because he had insight into his intentions, and although I don't know how he copied people, I realized that these copied people all had the same memories and spiritual power as the copied people. ”

Shui Lu and Shui Mo were both taken aback after hearing this, so if they let Cocoon develop and develop, maybe one day the five countries will be controlled by Cocoon.

Tianxing frowned and thought, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "I think I know where those replicants came from, I once saw an altar in the forbidden place of the Maple Wood Sect, and there is a statue called 'Shadow Spirit Seal Ding' in the center of the altar, which can copy people's souls and bodies, and the copied people have the same breath, thoughts and spiritual power as the original people, and those people are called 'Shadow Spirits' by Feng Lan, the sect leader of the Maple Wood Sect." ”

Gui Ping was taken aback when he heard this, and asked, "The tripod you said is a huge blue copper tripod, the body of the tripod is covered with water patterns, and there are four ghost heads carved with it?"

Tianxing nodded yes and said, "Isn't that Venerable Ding in the Maple Wood Sect, where have you seen it?"

Guiping shook his head and said: "It's very strange to say, I suddenly fainted half a month ago, and vaguely remembered that someone threw me into a dingzhong, and when I woke up, I was in the bedroom again, and it was no big deal to recruit the imperial doctor to check it, and the imperial doctor also said that I may have fainted due to mental exhaustion, so although I was puzzled, I didn't care, I always thought it was a dream." ”

"This can explain the fake" Gui Ping ", how it was copied, I'm afraid that **** is not a dream, I remember that if you want to use the 'Shadow Spirit Seal Ding' to copy people, you must have many people's lives as nourishment, I guess the disappearance of those villagers, and the recent capture of some innocent city residents, are related to the 'Shadow Spirit Seal Ding'. ”

Shui Lu and Shui Mo looked at each other and said secretly: "According to Tianxing, the 'Shadow Spirit Seal Ding' is in the Maple Wood Sect, is there any involvement of the Maple Wood Sect in this matter?" But after all, Tianxing was standing beside him, so it was just a spiritual power exchange.

Tianxing was silent, and he kept hesitating in his heart whether he should tell them whether he should tell them that Feng Lan, the sect leader of the Maple Wood Sect, had become the master of the Soul Palace. If they say it, they will reveal a lot of their secrets, not to mention that without evidence, even if they tell the truth, I am afraid they will find it difficult to believe it.

He secretly said in his heart: "After such an analysis, Cocoon is indeed a person in the Underworld Temple, and what happened in the Land of Earth is definitely controlled by the Underworld Temple."

Seeing that everyone was silent, and I didn't know what they thought, Guiping began to feel a little anxious in his heart, for fear that they would retreat because of timidity, so he said: "If you are willing to help me regain sovereignty, I am willing to promise each of you one one condition in addition to the necessary rewards. ”......
