"The body and soul are not harmonious? Lao Cai, you mean that Emperor Jianwu was taken away?"
Qin Shaoyou asked in surprise, and at the same time thought to himself, it's not such a coincidence, is it? Over there in Qingtang, the old King of Qingtang was deceived by the monk "See You Tomorrow" and seized his son's body in order to achieve another way of immortality and youth.
Here in Daxia, Emperor Jianwu was actually taken away from his body?
Who will take away his body?
Is he the mad god who escaped from the Blood Moon?
Or is it a demon from the Black Lotus Sect who was raised as a poison by Emperor Jianwu?
He was surprised when he saw Cai Guizhong shaking his head.
"It's not like seizing a body. Although Emperor Jianwu's body and soul are incompatible, it is indeed his soul that inhabits his body."
"Since the body was not taken away, why is there a disharmony between body and soul?"
Qin Shaoyou asked, he still trusted Cai Guizhong's judgment.
Especially on matters related to the soul, Cai Guizhong, as the city emperor, is an expert and has high authority.
Besides, not all the ministers of the Great Xia Dynasty were mediocre people, there were still many discerning ones.
If Emperor Jianwu was really taken over by someone, these ministers would not have noticed and reacted.
Previously, the monk "See You Tomorrow" pretended to be the chief minister Zheng Yayuan, and many people in the court noticed the problem. But at that time, they followed the normal process and chose to file an impeachment report and report to the Demon Suppression Department and the Editorial Factory.
It's just that at that time, the 'see you tomorrow' monk and Emperor Jianwu were still on the same team, and the two sides cooperated in acting to suppress these impeachments and reports.
If the person who was taken away was Emperor Jianwu, the situation would be different. The courtiers would definitely clear the emperor and save him.
Cai Guizhong also didn't understand why such a strange situation happened to Emperor Jianwu.
After pondering for a moment, he said: "I think there are two possibilities. One is that there is something wrong with the exercises that Emperor Jianwu learned from the Blood Moon Mad God, which made him go crazy and become incompatible with his body and soul. . Another possibility is that there is something wrong with his body and he has run out of energy... But looking at his appearance before, it doesn't look like he is terminally ill."
When Qin Shaoyou heard this, he raised his eyebrows and told his discovery: "Emperor Jianwu's aura is more chaotic than the last time I saw him, and the blood in his veins seems to be sluggish. …Could it be these that cause the incompatibility between body and soul?”
"It's possible." Cai Guizhong nodded, and then said: "So, there really was something wrong with Emperor Jianwu's practice of the technique passed down by the Blood Moon Mad God, which caused physical problems? Or maybe it was the previous ambush. , caused serious damage to him?"
Qin Shaoyou didn't say anything, but he was thinking about the two strange smells he smelled when leaving the Immortal Palace, and the few intermittent words he heard.
All this made him suspect that things might not be that simple.
Vaguely, he seemed to have caught a clue, but he was not sure yet. Just when he was about to tell the situation and ask everyone to help him, Cui Yougui took the lead and asked Li Erlang: "Old Li, what are you doing? Silent? You also entered the palace and saw Hun Jun, but what did you find?"
"My understanding of souls is not as good as that of Lao Cai, so I won't comment on this matter. But I did find something about Hun Jun."
Li Erlang quickly revealed his findings.
One of them is the blood of Emperor Jianwu.
He also noticed that there was something wrong with Emperor Jianwu's blood.
After all, he is Shuibo and is very sensitive to liquids.
He found that the blood in Emperor Jianwu's body not only flowed sluggishly, but also was less abundant than in a normal human body, resulting in a lack of nourishment for the five internal organs and a lack of blood and energy.
Perhaps this is the reason why the body and soul are incompatible? Because according to "Su Wen", the liver is the residence of the soul and can store the soul, and the liver needs blood to nourish it. Once the blood does not nourish the liver, the liver will not store the soul.
It’s not surprising that this leads to incompatibility between body and soul.
Another discovery was that there was a lot of blood hidden in the alchemy furnace in front of Emperor Jianwu...
"That foolish Emperor Jianwu often used living people to make elixirs, or drained people's blood and poured it into the alchemy furnace as raw materials. Is it possible that this is the reason why there is a lot of blood hidden in the alchemy furnace?"
Qin Shaoyou asked.
He secretly placed ink spots in the palace. In the past few days, he saw many eunuchs being thrown directly into the alchemy furnace by Emperor Jianwu for doing wrong things, or having their blood drained and poured into the alchemy furnace. As for the hidden contents of the alchemy furnace, A lot of blood, not surprising.
Even if the blood has not been dried and refined, it would not be surprising.
Emperor Jianwu's alchemy furnace was not ordinary. Qin Shaoyou even suspected that it was possible for it to have life and soul.
However, Emperor Jianwu's blood condition is very puzzling.
Is it because he practiced the crazy god technique and became obsessed with it?
Or is there some other secret hidden in this faint king?
Zhu Xiucai spoke at this time, thinking as he said: "Could these strange situations on Emperor Jianwu be related to his eagerness to sacrifice to the mad god? Not only did he want to become an immortal, but he also saw himself There is something wrong with your body and you want to save your life to avoid dying suddenly before you become a god?"
"It's possible."
Cai Guizhong responded, "In addition to the transformation of becoming a god, what Emperor Jianwu asked the most today is how to maintain the ghost soul in order to remain immortal, and how to do it in order to accumulate merit and incense as quickly as possible and become a god. Also The difference between a ghost becoming a god and a living person becoming a god, etc...
Judging from his appearance, although he is wary and suspicious of adults, he still regards adults as his last protection. And he inquired about the situation of Yinhun in detail. I am afraid that it was because he had a physical problem and was worried that he would not be able to get improvement measures from the Blood Moon Mad God in time, so he was eager to learn the details and find a way out. "
"If that's the case, then Hunjun must have a back-up plan."
Senior Brother Cui grabbed his hair and said with a headache: "What is his next move? There are only three days until the full moon day, but he has not revealed any flaws. What should we do?"
"We can only be on high alert and actively investigate... However, since we entered Beijing, we have been targeted by the informants sent by various yamen. It is difficult to actively investigate. We can only hope that Commander Lu and Xu Jianzheng can be able to What was gained was gained.”
After Qin Shaoyou sighed, he finally found an opportunity and said sternly: "When I left the Dengxian Palace, I made two more discoveries. Please help me as a consultant to see if they are related to the strange situation of Emperor Jianwu. …”
After listening to Qin Shaoyou's description, Cai Guizhong was very interested in the two odors and asked about the odor in detail.
It's a pity that the two odors were mild in nature and were quickly covered up. Even Qin Shaoyou's [wonderful nose] couldn't smell them carefully enough.
"I can't tell what the odor is. It's a bit complicated. It's like a mixture of multiple odors, including the smell of sweat, rotting corpses, and the smell of feces and urine... The key is that the smell is too light. And it was covered up too quickly, so I couldn’t discern it carefully.”
Although Qin Shaoyou did not distinguish the two odors in detail, Cai Guizhong's expression changed slightly after listening to his description, as if he had thought of something...
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
On the night of the full moon, amidst everyone's high level of tension and alert, the event arrived as scheduled!
