Yindu, the residence of the Zhiren clan.

The surname Ren is a big surname in the world, and there are many sources of inheritance.

The Xuannu Tizi clan has passed down the surname Ren, at that time only knew his mother, but did not know his father, the king of the Tizi clan, is the surname Ren;

The Fuxi clan, although most of them take the wind as their surname, there are also Ren surnames handed down;

At the time of the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, twelve surnames were handed down, one of which was the surname Ren;

The White Emperor Shaohao is in the same lineage, and there is also a surname Ren.

However, there is only one source, the White Emperor Shaohao's biography.

The White Emperor passed down his surnames, such as Ji, Ying, Ren, and Zhang, with names such as Qingyang and Xuanhuan, and also known as Zhi.

The mansion of the Zhiren clan in the Yin capital is the residence of Ren Hou, the head of the Yin Shang Division.

Ren Hou is the nephew of Ji Jili's wife, Tai Ren, and Zhou Gong Ji Jili can be regarded as his uncle.

At this time, he and Ji Fa were walking around the hall with sad faces.

Zhou Gong Ji Li, who was summoned into the imperial palace by Emperor Shang, has not come out for seven days.

"Ji Fa, it's not that I don't want to help, it's just that now Your Majesty doesn't even see me, and it's difficult for me to know what my uncle is inside. ”

Ren Hou was very helpless and said to Ji Fa, who was extremely anxious.

Ji Fa smiled reluctantly: "Naturally, I won't blame my cousin, but I really don't know what to do in my heart, so I came to ask my cousin for advice." ”

"Now in the imperial palace, no one can enter, not to mention that I am waiting, even the three masters of Wuzhu cannot enter. No one knows what happened. ”

Ren Hou didn't know what this Majesty Wending was doing.

Whether it was them, the ministers of the clan, or the Wumiao Wuzhu, they all asked to see the Shang Emperor many times, but they were all blocked by the guards.

While they were frowning, suddenly a retainer hurried over, looking panicked.

"How's it going?"

When Ren Hou saw this minister, he hurriedly asked.

The retainer said sadly: "Duke Zhou is dead." ”

"Ahh ”

Ji Fa's face suddenly turned pale, and he grabbed the shoulders of this minister and exclaimed, "Who said that?"

The retainer replied: "Duke Zhou's corpse is now outside the imperial palace, please go and collect it." ”

Ji Fa let go of his hands in a dejected manner, his heart was beating wildly, and then he staggered and ran out.

"Go, follow. ”

Ren Hou hurriedly greeted his subordinates and followed Ji Fa.

Ji Zhou's subordinates, who came with Ji Fa, naturally followed behind.

······

Outside the Imperial Palace, there was a black car parked, covered by a black cloth, so that no one could see inside.

Next to the car, there were two sergeants guarding and not letting anyone approach.

Seeing Ji Fa coming, the two sergeants retreated silently.

In their hearts, they are actually worried, in case Ji Zhou's people are angry with them, they don't know if they can survive.

Ji Fa ignored the two sergeants, uncovered the black cloth, and found that his grandfather Ji Jili was lying in the car with a pale face, and he was no longer alive.

He was sad in his heart, but when he looked around, he saw that there seemed to be people who were about to gather around, and they were still quietly talking, forcibly suppressing their grief.

"Pull the cart back. ”

"Where's it going, Childe?"

"Back to Qishan, Zhou Yuan. ”

He didn't ask about the cause of his grandfather's death, nor did he plan to bring his grandfather's body to the Renhou Mansion.

Even, Ren Hou, who came from behind, didn't even say hello.

The cause of his grandfather's death, in his opinion, is mostly related to the emperor of Yin Shang and Yin Shang Wuzhu.

After all, Ren Hou is still an important minister, and there is no need for him to cause trouble again.

"Ji Fa, are you leaving?"

Ren Hou had a complicated expression and looked at this second grandson of Duke Zhou.

Ji Fa arched his hand towards Ren Hou, and without speaking, he walked out.

However, after walking a few steps, he turned back and glanced at the majestic Yin Shang Imperial Palace.

Seeing Ji Fa like this, Ren Hou immediately understood Ji Fa's thoughts, sighed, and walked towards the imperial palace.

The result is still the same, Shang Emperor Wending, and he is not seen.

······

In Wen Ding's main hall, Wen Ding was dying, looking at the things in front of him, and next to him, there was a three-legged black black crow that was as weak as him.

He watched Ji Jili, who had been with him for seven days, starve to death in his palace, and watched Ji Jili's body being carried out.

The sergeants did not listen to him, and he was not even angry.

His fate, the moment he was locked up in the main hall, he already knew.

Suddenly, the door of the main hall opened again, and a person who was at the gate of the imperial palace, who had asked to see him many times, but had been turned away by the sergeant, slowly walked in.

Taizhu, the teacher of Emperor Wending of Shang, is now the head of Yindu Wuzhu.

"Zituo, now that Ji Jili is starving to death, it can be regarded as your heart, are you still unwilling to make a witch cult according to your previous oath?"

Taizhu looked at this former disciple of his own, the disciple who had been obedient to him, and his expression was extremely complicated.

"You say, you want to kill Ji Li?"

Wen Ding barely opened his mouth and said in a weak voice.

"Ji Ji has been in Yin for several months, if you don't want to kill Ji Li, why did you summon him into the palace at this time?"

Taizhu's face was quite mocking, this disciple is still the same as before, no matter what he does, he will not move. Not only himself, but even Lord Wuxian was deceived by his impassivity.

"Whatever you say, Yu will be killed by you anyway. ”

Wen Ding didn't want to argue, he didn't even have the strength to speak now, he just wanted to close his eyes and wait for death.

"I'll wait, I won't kill the king. Taizhu Youyou said: "Although you don't believe what you say, but Wu Zhu can't do this." ”

"Don't kill the king, let Yu slowly starve to death?"

Wending's face was full of mockery, what is this not called killing the king?

"I'll bring you food later. ”

Taizhu glanced at the wine tripod and wine bottle next to Wen Ding, and the corners of his mouth showed a hint of a nonchalant smile.

Then he went out.

Before leaving, he grabbed the dying three-legged black black crow in his hand.

This three-legged black crow, after the Xuanniao and the Golden Crow, is the totemic beast that protects the Shang Emperor.

Taizhu dared to seriously injure it, but he didn't dare to kill it.

But this three-legged black crow can't stay here.

After he came out, someone brought all kinds of meat into it and fed it to Emperor Shang.

Then, the door closed again, leaving Emperor Shang alone inside.

······

Outside the main hall, Taizhu looked at the guards outside, and suddenly asked him, "Are you afraid of death?"

The guard general didn't understand why Taizhu asked like this, but he replied bluntly: "The villain is not afraid. ”

Taizhu nodded: "Very good, I'm not afraid." ”

After speaking, he took one step and disappeared into the imperial palace.

This guard will be asked this question inexplicably.

But half a day later, a sergeant came to report: "My lord, Your Majesty has collapsed." ”

"It's collapsed, what's the matter, didn't you send food to Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty, it seems to be choked to death. ”

"Choking?!"

The guard was taken aback, and Tai Zhu ordered someone to prepare all kinds of meat for Emperor Shang, as if he was not prepared to drink water.

Then, he suddenly remembered Taizhu's question before leaving, and suddenly made a decision in his heart.

······

In the palace of Emperor Yin Shang, suddenly the bell rang loudly, and the envoy went to all the important ministers' mansions.

At the same time, they received a message that Emperor Wen Ding of Shang had collapsed.

The reason for the collapse turned out to be that he ate too much and choked to death.

This cause of death is not believed by anyone at all.

And those armor soldiers who guarded Emperor Shang left their last words one by one, did not take good care of Emperor Shang, and even committed suicide one after another.

This made everyone unable to find any clues to investigate the mystery of Emperor Shang's death.

However, Wu Zhu checked and determined the cause of death.

However, the people of the clan and the important ministers of Yin Shang did not believe that there were many people in this result.

Then, another news came that Taizhu in the Witch Temple had passed away before that, and next to his corpse, there was an edict from Emperor Shang to give death.

In addition, not long ago, the death of the pastor Zhou Gongji Ji Li spread all over Yindu.

These news made Yin Du immediately fall into a treacherous atmosphere.

The clan, the Wu Temple, and the ministers jointly made a decision to immediately send people to Xingyi in the north to recall Emperor Zixian and inherit the throne.

No matter what, Yin Shang can't mess around.

Wen Ding has no brothers, and Emperor Zixian is his eldest son, and he is the best candidate to inherit the throne.

······

Ji Kao woke up slowly, felt that there was a lot of noise next to him, endured his exhaustion, and opened his eyes.

The first thing he did when he opened his eyes was that he looked into the distance and found that the wind was calm and the weather was excellent, and the flood he feared had not happened.

Then, he immediately looked at the giant turtle below him, only to find that it seemed to have no life at all.

Ji Kao was shocked, and hurriedly probed the qi into the giant turtle's body, and found that the divine power inside was dense and the qi was chaotic, but it was extremely vast.

It's good to be alive, Ji Kao secretly said in his heart, as long as he is alive, there is hope.

Then he looked not far away, at the source of the noise.

I saw a few young men with scattered hair and animal skins, holding bamboo spears, chattering to him.

Most of their eyes were looking at the giant turtle under Ji Kao, and rarely on Ji Kao.

After all, a giant turtle that can sit several people on its back is extremely rare.

But when Ji Kao woke up, they spoke cautiously and with a hint of surprise, and seemed to be asking about something.

Ji Kao tried to listen to their words, and found that the syllables were so different from Xia that he couldn't understand them at all.

He whispered, "I don't understand what you're talking about." ”

Ji Kao didn't expect these people to understand his words, but just let them understand that the two sides couldn't understand each other.

When Ji Kao said a word, these teenagers were stunned, and they also didn't understand what Ji Kao was talking about.

Then, a larger teenager said a word to a few people next to him, and everyone next to him nodded.

The older boy ran into the distance with a bamboo spear in his hand.

Seeing this, Ji Kao didn't care, and began to probe the qi into the old turtle's body again, carefully probing its situation.

That incomparably deep, power from the Spirit Mountain should have hit him.
