Chapter 131: The Devil's True Body

Why him? Later, Wang Jiansheng found Zhang Xifan, knocked him unconscious and brought him back to his house, only to know that it was because Qi Yao fell in love with someone else and wanted to recruit another face, but Zhang Xifan didn't know what to do and refused.

Zhang Xifan also has an old mother at home. Qi Yao knew that if Zhang Xifan disappeared, the old mother would definitely report to the official to find him. In case Zhang Xifan once told his mother about rejecting the princess, wouldn't he be asking for trouble?

Qi Yao proposed to directly kill Zhang Xifan's mother.

Wang Jiansheng couldn't bear it, so he temporarily appeased Qi Yao, saying that he could ask Zhang Xifan to write a letter to his mother, and his mother would definitely recognize Zhang Xifan's handwriting, as long as she lied to her that she was going to study in other places.

This was a wake-up call for Qi Yao, who told Wang Jiansheng that she had overheard a conversation between Zhan Yaoyuan and General Wei, saying that several people from the former Bonan Kingdom had established a Bonan Society and wanted to secretly plot to restore the country.

This matter spread widely, and I heard that there were assassins who wanted to kill Zhan Yaoyuan, a traitor.

If you want to leave a book for your old mother, then it is more appropriate to go to the Ponan Club. This Zhang Xifan was originally from the original Bonan country, he went to join the Bonan Society, even if it was a capital crime to find people back, how could his mother go to report to the official?

That night, Qi Yao, Su Niang and Wang Jiansheng stayed in Wang Jiansheng's hut, first threatened Zhang Xifan's mother's life, and asked Zhang Xifan to write a letter, saying that he was going to join the Bonan Society, asking his mother not to look for him and wait for him to go home with peace of mind.

Then, they forcibly fed Zhang Xifan mushrooms.

Subsequently, they witnessed the whole process of Zhang Xifan's hallucination.

One night passed, and Zhang Xifan returned to normal.

Three days have passed, and Zhang Xifan's body has not felt any discomfort.

They were not at ease, and they spent money to secretly find a Lang Zhong to see Zhang Xifan.

Lang Zhong said that Zhang Xifan was not sick and was very healthy.

Eating only once can't explain anything, so Qi Yao went to steal mushrooms again and gave them to Zhang Xifan to eat.

After four or five times, Zhang Xifan, who was imprisoned, didn't shout for help, and didn't want to run away or go home, but was very obedient, begging Qi Yao to give him mushrooms to eat again.

Qi Yao and Wang Jiansheng concluded that mushrooms are not poisonous, but they can cause people to hallucinate for a short time and become addicted for a long time.

There are only a limited number of mushrooms grown in the secret room, and Qi Yao will always be found out sooner or later if he goes to steal mushrooms. By chance, Qi Yao found a bag of seeds that Zhan Yaoyuan had brought out from the secret room.

Qi Yao was bound to get the seeds, and he wanted to let Su Niang steal them, but before Su Niang could appear on the stage, Zhan Yaoyuan got drunk by himself, and rewarded his subordinates on a whim, and gave out the jade pendants and silver coins on his body.

When it was Su Niang's turn, she casually gave the bag of seeds on her waist.

Wang Jiansheng carved out a small field in his vegetable garden and began to grow mushrooms.

On the first day of the next lunar month, Qi Yao, Su Niang, and Wang Jiansheng arrived at the Netherworld Tower in the evening before General Wei, and according to the marks on the construction map, they struck three long and two short sounds on the steps.

Sure enough, the mechanism was activated.

The three of them took the mushrooms down to the Netherworld Tower, and saw the "hell" on the fourth underground floor, and saw the "ghost cha" that was neither human nor ghostly.

The so-called ghost cha is a man in his fifties, and when he saw that the person who came was not General Wei, he wanted to escape.

Su Niang has martial arts, directly blocked the steps, and took down this man in a few moves.

The man didn't have a name, he only told Qi Yao that he was a ghost.

The so-called ghost is actually a profession, and it is considered a dead soldier of the Cham clan, responsible for living under the Nether Tower for a long time, receiving instructions to operate the mechanism.

Qi Yao wondered, how could anyone be willing to stay in this kind of place for several years.

The ghost cha gives the answer - holy mushrooms.

It turns out that this magical mushroom is called the holy mushroom, and the name is quite apt.

The reason why the onicha was willing to be loyal to the Cham clan was because they were able to provide him with holy mushrooms.

After eating holy mushrooms, you can feel like being in the fairy world, experience the happiness of being a fairy, and you can't stop it.

So in other words, this ghost cha lives both in this dark hell and in the blissful fairy world; He is not only a little ghost in the treacherous hell, but also the Jade Emperor in the ethereal fairy world.

After Qi Yao listened, he directly asked Su Niang to kill this ghost.

Su Niang was unrelenting, and after the killing, she threw her body into a nearby grove and buried it.

Wang Jiansheng went down to the organ room, closed the mechanism according to the construction plan, and waited for General Wei to deliver food and holy mushrooms.

Wang Jiansheng could clearly hear the sound of three long and two short percussions coming through the passage inside the stone pillar. All he needed to do was to remain indifferent and make General Wei think that the ghost underground, Zhan Yaoyuan, had completely lost control of the Nether Tower.

It didn't take long for Su Niang to bury her body and return to the Nether Tower, where she struck their new code five short and four long.

Wang Jiansheng received the code, activated the mechanism, and asked Su Niang to come down.

After the three of them met at the bottom of the tower, Su Niang told Qi Yao that General Wei really thought that the ghost below was dead, so he couldn't respond. General Wei was very annoyed.

Qi Yao instructed Su Niang to go back immediately and bring Zhang Xifan from Wang Jiansheng's family here, and she wanted to cultivate a ghost that belonged to her.

Zhang Xifan really wanted to eat holy mushrooms, but when he heard that he would live under this dark tower forever, he seemed to wake up in an instant and wanted to escape.

Qi Yao cut off half of his tongue in a fit of rage.

In those days, Zhang Xifan was in pain, but he ate holy mushrooms, which could make him temporarily paralyzed.

Qi Yao, who returned to the palace, overheard the conversation between Zhan Yaoyuan and General Wei, and the two of them decided that the ghost under the Netherworld Tower had died, and they completely lost control of the Netherworld Tower.

But Zhan Yaoyuan didn't care too much about this, after all, he was now the vassal king of Dayong, and the Nether Tower was of little use to him, and he didn't want to bother maintaining this useless tradition passed down from his ancestors for a long time.

Qi Yao became the owner of the Netherworld Tower, which was like a big toy in her boring life, and she wanted to play with it.

How to play? Naturally, it was to recruit some prisoners for her hell, and those cages were empty, and she looked uncomfortable.

Qi Yao is still a female leopard hunting Yan, if the prey she fancies can be obediently put on the reins by her, it is fine, if you want to escape, then bite the neck directly.

Some of these men from the southern country of Yuanbo have their own merits, some of them are Qi Yao to show goodwill, and some of them let Wang Jiansheng go instead of her.

During this period, some men briefly became Qi Yao's face, and some men angered Qi Yao and were thrown into the netherworld by her; Some men didn't anger Qi Yao, but Qi Yao got tired of it and threw him into the Netherworld.

And those men who refused Qi Yao were directly thrown into the Netherworld.

Wang Jiansheng is a native of Dayong, and he is also the most obedient, and has become Qi Yao's beneficial assistant, so even if Qi Yao has long been tired of him, he still keeps him.

Within a year, seven people were missing, but no one reported them, because all seven of them had written letters to their relatives under Qi Yao's threat, saying that they were going to join the Bonan Society.

These people were locked up in the Nether Tower, always shouting and cursing Qi Yao. Qi Yao asked Su Niang and Wang Jiansheng to cut out their tongues.

After the torture of cutting out their tongues, three of the six people except Zhang Xifan failed to hold on, either dying of bleeding or dying of wound infection and fever.

Su Niang still threw the body into the woods, dug a deep pit and buried it.

Half a year ago, Qi Yao fell in love with the talented Jiang Hongxi again. But the problem is that Jiang Hongxi is a native of Dayong, and the trick of using a book to join the Bonan Association cannot be used.

Qi Yao ignored it and handed over this task to Wang Jiansheng. Anyway, she had to throw Jiang Hongxi into the Netherworld within three days and make him pay for his arrogance.

Wang Jiansheng has been interested in all kinds of strange stories since he entered the Netherworld Tower, and he always likes to tell stories to his companions when he makes friends and discusses with literati.

It is precisely because of this that Wang Jiansheng and Jiang Hongxi can be regarded as acquaintances.

So Qi Yao gave Wang Jiansheng three days, if he couldn't send Jiang Hongxi to her netherworld within three days, Wang Jiansheng would have to replace him.

Wang Jiansheng was afraid of Qi Yao's obscenity, and even more afraid of Su Niang, who was strong in martial arts, so he had to meditate hard. How to turn a missing case into an unsolved case makes Fan Zhizhou helpless.

It only took one day for Wang Jiansheng to come up with a way to use ghost cha and holy mushrooms to create a case.

In the past, there were ghosts in the stories of Zhiwei told by Wang Jiansheng, and the ghosts in his mouth were all floating in the air, emitting the green fluorescence of hell all over his body, and those who saw the ghosts would be unable to move, and those who were asked for their lives by the ghosts would not be able to resist.

He made two masks according to the ghost messenger he described, and asked Qi Yao and Su Niang to pretend to be ghosts, while he and two other literati friends witnessed the ghost messenger taking away Jiang Hongxi.

Wang Jiansheng is sure that under the effect of the holy mushroom and his hints, the two friends will also give the same confession as him. With Fan Zhizhou's ability, he will definitely not be able to solve this case.

Wang Jiansheng was worried that Qi Yao would not be willing to participate in it, but he didn't expect Qi Yao to find it interesting and eager to try it when he heard it.

As it turned out, they succeeded.

With the first success, Qi Yao is even more looking forward to the next time. The more the rumors of ghost missions in Annan Prefecture prevailed, the more she felt a sense of accomplishment.

In order to hurry up for the next time, quickly add a prisoner to her Netherworld to replace the three wastes who died before, Qi Yao became more enthusiastic about wandering around Annan Prefecture.

Qi Yao heard that Ye Xuanlang, the first beautiful man in Annan Prefecture, was a tailor, so he disguised himself as a man and asked Ye Xuanlang to tailor it for her.

When Ye Xuanlang measured her, he saw through her daughter's body and refused to measure her on the grounds that men and women were not intimate.

Qi Yao said that it was okay to take advantage of the situation to seduce.

Ye Xuanlang first persuaded him with good words, and after finding that it was ineffective, he pushed Qi Yao away.

Qi Yao was furious, and wanted to attack Ye Xuanlang, but he inadvertently learned that Ye Xuanlang was about to get married. So her hatred was transferred to Mu Jiayin.

The second time I pretended to be a ghost, I succeeded again. Su Niang directly knocked out Mu Jiayin in the cave room, and took people away with Qi Yao.

And the wedding guests and even the groom Ye Xuanlang all ate the holy mushrooms, and under the hint of the previous rumors of ghosts, they thought they had seen ghosts floating and walking.

Jealousy made Qi Yao even worse, and after imprisoning Mu Jiayin, Qi Yao personally destroyed Mu Jiayin's appearance and cut off her tongue.

After that, it was just in time for the Chinese New Year. Qi Yao was tired of the game of Netherworld and Hell was very homesick, saying that he would go back to the capital for everything.

When he came back from that trip, Wang Jiansheng obviously felt that Qi Yao was particularly excited. There is no need to ask, Qi Yao said it himself, saying that he fell in love with Pei Wuyi, the Qing of Dali Temple, when he went to the East Palace to pay New Year's greetings.
