The ravens that Shang Ji saw at night, the teams that lurked in the night.

Damn, I almost forgot about it.

"Xiao Zhen. At this moment, Li Moqi spoke.

Xing Xuan raised his head and looked at Li Moqi.

"You go and tell Ji Yuan, this matter is investigated immediately! The speed must be fast, and there can be no more hesitation, otherwise, everyone will be punished immediately!"

Li Moqi's tone was unquestionable, and he seemed to be very anxious.

Although Xing Xuan felt very strange, he still arched his hand and hurriedly retreated.

Not long ago - Dongcheng Residence

Ji Yuan sat on the Taishi chair and looked at Xing Xuan with a suspicious face: "Master Li wants us to speed up?"

"That's right, he asked me to deliver the order. Xing Xuan said lightly.

"No, Lord Li's instructions for this matter have always been to keep it secret. Ji Yuan stood up and approached Xing Xuan, staring closely into his eyes, "Why did you suddenly change your order?"

"I'm just passing on the instructions, if you don't believe it, you can go back to the Yuan Hall and ask. Xing Xuan said expressionlessly.

Ji Yuan's face suddenly became gloomy, but he still sat back in his chair.

"The power that can increase the longevity yuan?" Ji Yuan muttered to himself, and after a while, he seemed to understand something and nodded.

Immediately, the corners of Ji Yuan's mouth rose.

"I see, you go ahead and complete your mission. ”

Xing Xuan arched his hand and retreated.

Ji Yuan stared at Xing Xuan's back tightly, and the folding fan in his hand shook slightly.

Yuan Palace

"Can increase the magic of Shouyuan?" Ying Chenji waved a streamer in her hand, and the silenced spell suddenly enveloped the inner room.

"That's right, that's what Master Li said, and said that there is a price to increase longevity, a kind of power to absorb the souls of others, and then increase one's own lifespan. Xing Xuan explained.

"But I think there's a big flaw in this magic. Amon sat across from him, fiddling with a square on the table that looked like a meta artifact.

"That's right, according to the current research, this kind of power is very turbulent, it is said that according to the explosion runes and puppet runes in it, it should be to destroy the person's soul defense line first, and then control it through the puppet runes to ensure that there is no obstacle to the implementation of the spell, in this way, the zombie monster can also make sense. Xing Xuan said.

Xing Xuan's words just sounded very terrifying, those zombies were originally ordinary people, just for a person's longevity, became neither human nor ghost, and finally died miserably, I really don't know how crazy and perverted the person who carried out this spell is.

"No, Xing Xuan, you should know more about the soul than I do, just like that, I'm afraid it still won't work, but it will harm your own body. Ying Chenji said with a solemn face.

Xing Xuan knew what Ying Chenji was going to say, devouring other people's souls and essence to nourish herself and increase her longevity. Although I didn't know about this kind of curse before, but even so, I believe that this spell can't get around the soul theory.

The soul is everything on the spiritual level, the cradle of consciousness, if the body dies, the soul is still there, from a certain point of view, it is still alive, but the soul is gone, the body is just a shell, and this person has long ceased to exist in this world.

And absorbing other people's souls to improve one's longevity in this way is naturally intolerable to the Heavenly Dao, and at the same time of absorption, one's own soul is likely to be corroded, and then the consciousness falls into madness and dies in disorientation.

"It is likely that this is the case with that old madman, who has gone mad because he has sucked the souls of others. Xing Xuan sighed, rubbing his temples, "I heard that Master Winter's family denies that he is Winter. This matter was done in an extremely secretive manner, and at present many merchants and priests were involved, and the son of Master Winter was the military attache of the court, Robert the cavalry general. ”

Chen, who had been listening on the side, pinched his chin with his jade hand, tilted his head and thought about it for a while, then the corners of his mouth curled up and he laughed.

"I have a way, I'm not afraid that they won't recognize it. Chen smiled.

Xing Zhen raised his head and looked at Chen, who was smiling very confidently, and blinked curiously.

night

Robert wandered through the courtyard, a glass of sake in his hand, and shook it gently absentmindedly.

His brows furrowed, this matter had been bothering him for several days, and in any case, he didn't believe that his father was still alive, and he had committed a serious crime and was detained in the prison of the Yuan Palace.

In his mind, his father was a gentle, tolerant master, how could he pretend to be dead?

But today, when I heard that the man in my custody had been put to death, I was worried and anxious, as if my heart had been struck hard.

At this moment, a terrible scream interrupted his thoughts.

He immediately turned his head and saw a panicked servant running out of the backyard.

His whole body trembled violently, his face was full of fear, and he accidentally tripped on the threshold and fell heavily to the ground.

Even so, he still crawled towards Robert, and as he crawled in a panic, he turned his head to look at the dark and empty courtyard behind him.

Robert strode forward, and the servant struck him in the leg without paying attention, and was so frightened that he fell to the ground backwards.

"Will ...... General?" the servant was stunned, reacted, and hurriedly hugged Robert's leg and cried.

His fingers trembled as he pointed to the dark corridor, incoherent.

"Will ...... General, old ...... Sir, sir!"

Robert's heart sank when he heard this, and he kicked the servant away.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

But the servant was like madness, his eyes were as wide as brass bells, he was terrified, and he muttered to himself.

"Inner courtyard, sir, sir. ”

Robert listened to these words in a daze, and grabbed the corner of the servant's clothes.

But before Robert could ask, the servant had already fainted.

Robert threw it down and hurried towards the backyard.

At this time, the backyard was already in chaos, and the shouting and the clashing of tables and chairs were noisy.

At this moment, a maid ran towards the door in a panic and collided with Robert head-on.

"General!" the maid hurriedly saluted.

"What happened?" asked Robert.

"General, the soul of the lord in the mansion is here to ask for his life!" the maid said in a panic, "The little seventh son ran out just now, I don't know where he is now?"

"Ridiculous!" roberted robert, and the maid hurriedly stepped aside, not daring to say more.

But her eyes were still fluttering, and her hands were tightly clutched at the hem of her clothes, and when Robert saw this, he flicked his sleeves and headed towards the inner courtyard.

At this moment, a woman dressed in gorgeous costumes walked briskly surrounded by maids, with a look of panic between her eyebrows and eyes.

Seeing Robert, she hurriedly walked over.

"General, you are finally here, and the concubine is going to be scared to death. When she came to Robert, she was also panicked, "The inner courtyard is just haunted!"

As she spoke, the woman began to sob.

"Why are you following this nonsense!" Robert exclaimed, frowning.

"I'm not talking nonsense!

Robert frowned.

"What about the housekeeper, what the hell is going on?"

"General Qiyu, just now a transparent figure swept through the air, with a bloody mouth, as if there was a grievance, wandering around the entire courtyard, and many people saw it!" said a maid beside Madame's, "As for the butler, just now everyone rushed to hide everywhere, and I don't know where it is. ”

"It's ridiculous!

"General!" a guard came running out of breath.

He came to Robert's side and knelt down on one knee: "General, the butler has been found!"

Seeing this, Robert hurriedly asked the guards to lead the way.

After a short time, they came to the ancestral hall.

The butler lay down on the steps of the ancestral hall, his cloak scattered.

Robert stepped forward to check. The butler muttered to himself as if he were delirious, and in a short time his eyes opened and he saw Robert, and cried out at once.

"Sir...... I was wrong, you don't come to me, don't come to me, I'm for my uncle, my uncle.........

The maids hurriedly stepped forward to cover his mouth, and he looked at Robert with a whimper, and passed out again.

Robert's lips pursed at the words, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this moment, another guard galloped in.

"General, the Yuandian Cha'an Division has sent someone, the leader, the leader, the leader, is Lord Li!"

Robert was startled and quickly got up.

"Immediately, hide them, you can't let them know what happened in the mansion just now!"

"No!"

Robert Lees quickly stood up

"Lock the housekeeper in the house, make people look at him, and I'll interrogate him when the people who are chasan are gone!"

"You don't have to lock it back into the house. At that moment, a voice rang out.

Robert hurriedly turned his head, but saw Li Moqi walking briskly towards him with a group of people.

"Master Li. Robert hurriedly saluted.

"He doesn't have to go back to the house, tonight, he's going to spend it at Chaansi. Li Moqi said lightly.

"My lord, the family affairs in the house, could it be that the Cha An Division also has to take care of it?" Robert said coldly.

Li Moqi smiled.

"My nephew, your father and I are old acquaintances, and you are a close confidant of the general, but you also know that I have been investigating the case in the past few days, and I have to investigate everything I see, not to mention that he shouted just now. ”

"You've been lurking outside my house. Robert said coldly.

"No, no, no, nephew, I originally came to you to ask for tea. Li Moqi smiled, "This person is crazy, I'll help you deal with him." ”

"What if I don't say yes. Robert stared at Li Moqi and said.

The guards beside him lit up their blades, and the people beside Li Moqi also raised their weapons, and the blades that flashed with cold glow shone brighter under the flames, and disputes were about to break out.

Robert's eyes were complicated, as if hostility was mixed with pleading.

Li Moqi's face darkened.

"Think twice, I can't help it this time, because the monarch is here!" Li Moqi sighed and took out a token.

Seeing this, Robert's lips pursed, hesitated for a long time, and sighed.

"Put the blades down. Robert's words seemed to be squeezed out.

"General!" the subordinate officer stepped forward and said worriedly.

Robert raised his hand to stop him, and the officer had to step back.

"Thank you General Xiaocai for your cooperation. Li Moqi arched his hand at him, and then ordered.

"Take it away!"

Two days later

Robert paced home anxiously.

Since the housekeeper was taken away that day, he was placed under house arrest the next day.

He didn't even react to what was happening.

What did the butler do to his father before he died? He didn't even know about it, but a hunch in his heart told him that things were not good.

At this moment, an old man walked in.

"General!" said Robert, looking up at the old man, and was pleasantly surprised.

Eldest Sun Jing had a cold face, he was not angry and arrogant, but now he looked even more afraid to approach.

"General. Seeing that Changsun Jing's face was wrong, Robert's smile gradually disappeared.

"Hey, you don't believe me, do you?" said Robert, with a wry smile.

"Old man, only believe in the truth. The eldest grandson Jing said expressionlessly, "Do you have anything to do with the incident of the Troubled Burnt Ceremony?"

"I don't! Heaven is above, if I lie, my god will be destroyed!" Robert gritted his teeth and swore.

"If that's the case, I'm not going to let you get wronged. Changsun Jing sighed and said, "But before that, I want you to meet someone." ”

Robert was stunned.

"Bring it on!" Changsun Jing waved his hand, and the two of them walked up to the hall with a man with a cloak and ragged clothes.

At the sight of the man with the disheveled head, Robert's eyes widened and he looked at him incredulously.
