Chapter 226: Searching Through the Imperial Capital (I)
Xia Lugui married Ying Ji at the age of sixteen, and that year, Ying Ji was just a twelve-year-old girl. Maybe the marriage between the two was just a political marriage at first, but after seven years of getting along day and night, they have long made each other regard each other as the closest people. Is this love, Xia Luqi doesn't know Lu Dao, he only knows that Lu Dao can't lose Yingji, and his son Chunwei, who is not yet a month old, can't lose his mother.
He grabbed Yu Qingwu's shoulders tightly, his eyes were extremely red due to bloodshot, and said in a deep voice: "Tell me, what the hell is going on!"
Yu Qingwu waved his hand to signal the trembling palace maids and imperial doctors to retreat, and then sighed lightly and said, "Big brother, in the Tiangang method that has always been prevalent in the cultivation world, there is a vicious trick called the Seven Arrows of the Nail Head. Those who receive this spell will die after 21 days from the date of the treatment. The Nailhead Seven Arrows Technique is divided into three stages, the first stage, that is, the first seven days, the recipient does not have any abnormalities; on the eighth day, the effect of this technique will be revealed, and the soul of the recipient will enter a dormant state and become a living dead; and on the fifteenth day, the dormant soul will gradually leave the body, until the three souls and seven spirits all leave the body, and even the Daluo Immortal can do nothing!"
"What do you mean...... Ji Er was used to use the Seven Arrows Technique?" Xia Luqi's eyes widened, his face was full of disbelief, and he retorted: "Impossible! Ji Er has not been out of Jinglong Palace since a month ago, at most she just took a walk in the garden of this courtyard, and there were only a few people who had contact with her during this time, except for you, a cultivator, there were no other cultivators who had contact with him!"
Although during this period of time, Yu Qingwu was a cultivator who had close contact with Ying Ji after giving birth, but he did not suspect Yu Qingwu, because he didn't know what reason Yu Qingwu had to kill Ying Ji at all.
Yu Qingwu nodded and said, "Niangniang fainted today, and her soul began to enter a dormant state. As for the eldest brother's doubts......"
He paused and said with a wry smile: "Big brother doesn't know, the reason why the nail-headed seven arrows technique is called trickery is because it can invisibly put people to death, and the other is ...... Although its name is considered a high-level spell, it is actually very different from ordinary spells, and it is somewhat similar to the form of sacrifice, just set up a camp, place a straw man with the name of the recipient written on it, light a lamp on each head and feet, and then worship in a special way every day, and after the twenty-first day, the soul of the recipient will disappear and die. ”
"It is precisely because of the difference in the way the Nailhead Seven Arrows Technique is cast, it does not have to be performed by cultivators, and if mortals study it more, they can also kill people invisibly. Of course, if the spell is cast by a mortal, he will not be able to kill a person with Taoist cultivation, because the cultivator is extremely sensitive to this kind of curse-like induction, as long as he jumps out of the body with the primordial spirit in the early stage, this technique will not be dissolved. ”
Hearing Yu Qingwu's explanation, Xia Luqi hung his hands weakly, staggered to the couch, held Ying Ji's delicate and warm little hands, and said in a lost mind: "Although Ji'er has practiced martial arts with me, she has not cultivated the Yuan Shen, so where can she escape such tricks?"
Ying Ji entered the palace at the age of twelve, although she sometimes practiced martial arts with Xia Lugui, but most of the time was spent on practicing the qin and drums, and the talent of martial arts was not outstanding, so she did not even reach the second realm of martial arts. This kind of cultivation, I am afraid that a mortal will have a fatal effect on her to cast the Nailhead Seven Arrows Technique, not to mention that at this time, I don't know whether the caster is a mortal or a cultivator.
"Big brother ......" Seeing Xia Luqi's helpless appearance, Yu Qingwu's heart trembled, and he wanted to say something but couldn't say it.
Xia Luqi raised his eyes and looked at Yu Qingwu, who wanted to speak and stopped, and suddenly thought that Yu Qingwu had studied Taoism in Kunlun Mountain for many years, maybe there was some good way to save Ying Ji, thinking of this, his eyes rejuvenated, he stood up and looked at Yu Qingwu and said: "Ah Shu, you are from the Xuanmen Sect, there must be a way to save your sister-in-law, right? Big brother really can't lose her!"
Yu Qingwu looked away, laughed at himself, and said: "It's not that there is no way, but it's almost impossible to ......"
"As long as there is a way, it must be done!" As soon as he heard that there was really a way, Xia Luqi's whole person became excited, and said: "As the master of the world, as long as I don't pick the stars and moon in the sky, what can't I do?"
Seeing Xia Luqi's persistence and confidence, Yu Qingwu shook his head and said, "Within six days, that is, before my sister-in-law's soul begins to dissipate, find the caster, destroy the materials for the spell to stop this technique, and use the soul rejuvenation bead or soul rejuvenation pill to reawaken my sister-in-law's soul!"
"Soul Rejuvenation Bead? Soul Rejuvenation Pill?" Xia Luqi frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Isn't the Soul Rejuvenation Bead a legendary immortal treasure? What is this Soul Rejuvenation Pill? I have heard of the Soul Rejuvenation Grass, and there is also one in the treasure room in the palace. ”
Yu Qingwu nodded and said: "The Soul Restoration Bead is indeed an immortal treasure, it is rumored that it can guard the soul, in a sense, it has the same effect of resurrection as the Nuwa Stone, but it is not like the Nuwa Stone, which can have such a miraculous effect as flesh and bones." ”
"And the effect of the Soul Resurrection Pill is similar to that of the Soul Rejuvenation Bead, and it is made from the Soul Rejuvenation Herb that only grows in the poisonous miasma outside the Ghost Gate Pass as the main medicine. As long as the sister-in-law's soul begins to disperse, cast a spell with one of these two things, you can reawaken the sister-in-law. ”
"Don't think about it, it's just a legendary treasure, no one has ever seen it. And the Soul Rejuvenation Pill...... Although there is a Soul Restoration Grass in the palace, no one has the strength to refine it into a Soul Restoration Pill, and today, perhaps only Yan Yiqi, who is known as the reincarnation of Shennong and is learning the Tao with me in Kunlun, has this ability. ”
"This is easy to do!" Xia Luqi, who heard that there was hope of saving his concubine, frowned, and said, "I just need to let Long Ju go to Kunlun and bring Yan Yiqi back to Kunlun!"
Hearing Xia Luqi's words, Yu Qingwu shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "Big brother, you think things too simply, not to mention whether Yan Yiqi has the ability to refine the Soul Restoration Pill, how can we stop the Nailhead Seven Arrows Technique? Who is casting the spell and where the place is casting, we don't know all of this!"
"There's no way at all?" Xia Luqi still had a hint of fantasy in his heart.
"Anyone within a thousand miles can perform the Nailhead Seven Arrows Technique, in other words, the caster is within a thousand miles of Jinglong Palace!" Yu Qingwu smiled bitterly: "However, don't say that this is a land of thousands of miles, just the imperial capital, if you want to find the spell caster and the place to cast the spell within six days, it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack!"
"And once there is a large-scale, door-to-door search, what will the people of the imperial capital think? What will the civil and military officials think?"
He didn't say a single thing, since someone used the nailhead seven arrow technique against Ying Ji, he must be prepared to be searched, and the place where the magic was cast was hidden in the underground secret room nine times out of ten! Just searching the ground was enough to choke, and searching the underground was theoretically impossible!
However, Xia Luqi, who was eager to save his wife, didn't care about the consequences at all, and when he heard that he was going to search for a thousand miles away, he immediately said in a deep voice: "No matter what, you must find out the person behind it!" After a pause, his eyes fell on Yu Qingwu: "Ah Shu, in this huge world, the eldest brother only believes in you, and the matter of searching the imperial capital can only be relieved by handing it over to your eldest brother!"
"This ......" Yu Qingwu showed embarrassment, but she was relieved in her heart. The Nailhead Seven Arrows Technique was originally made by him to the black shadow, and if it was searched by someone else, maybe within six days, the blind cat would meet the dead mouse and find the place where the spell was cast, so his plan would be in vain. But at this time, the task of searching is in charge of yourself, and you can do something secretly, and find it when you want!
Seeing Yu Qingwu showing embarrassment, Xia Luqi raised his hands to support his shoulders and said, "Ah Shu, you can help the eldest brother!"
Yu Qingwu smiled bitterly, glanced at the unconscious Ying Ji, and said: "Big brother, it's not that I don't help you, it's that I can't do it alone, and it's impossible to go through the entire imperial capital in six days, or even a land of thousands of miles!"
"You don't have to worry about this!" Xia Luqi patted his chest and promised: "You are now the commander of the Tianwei Army, and you can mobilize the entire Tianwei Army at any time. Although the Tianwei Army can be easily dispatched, I can claim that Ji'er has been attacked by unknown killers, and you will lead the whole city to hunt down the assassins from house to house!"
He also knew that it was simply whimsical for Lu Dao to search for a land within a radius of thousands of miles within six days, so he could only retreat and only search for the imperial capital. If you are unlucky and fail to find the place to cast the spell in the imperial capital, you can only sigh that your fate is unfair.
Xia Luqi said that he had to nod his head and agree. Since he decided to search the whole city, he immediately returned to the mansion to get the general's seal, and then went straight to the school field of the Tianwei Army outside the city. At the same time, Xia Luqi also ordered Long Ju to move thousands of miles to Kunlun to the west to bring Yan Yiqi back, and he also issued a search warrant, claiming that a killer sneaked into Jinglong Palace this morning to assassinate Yingji Niangniang, and now the whole city is blocked, and the Tianwei army led by Fuyao Wang Yu Qingwu to search the whole city.
The people of the imperial capital, who were originally overjoyed because the emperor had a son and blessed the world, became panicked because of this sudden search. Although Yingji's situation has long been sealed, some ministers have heard some rumors that the search may not be as simple as it seems.
Weilong, Tiger, Huofeng, Xuanwu, Tianwei, Tiance these six armies are called the six armies of the Son of Heaven, of which the Tiance army of Longju is stationed in the palace to protect the entire palace, the Weilong army is responsible for the security of the imperial capital, and the remaining four armies are stationed outside the imperial capital. The Tianwei Army was stationed on Huishan Mountain, ten miles south of the imperial capital.
Since he was the general of the Tianwei Army, Yu Qingwu has never been to the school of the Tianwei Army, and today because of the matter of Ying Ji, he went to the Huishan school for the first time. When he saw the more than 10,000 people who were already ready to go, a trace of realization rose in his heart, no wonder these six armies can be called the most elite troops in the world, which can be called invincible.
