Zhu Xiucai quickly returned to the top of the mountain and reported the news he asked to Qin Shaoyou. The group of spies were left at the meeting point, so that if Qin Shaoyou had any orders, they could be asked to follow them immediately.
As for the traitors, they were sentenced to family punishment after the cross-examination between Tai Sui Shenjun and Taoist Qiu Shi.
The Editorial Office and the Demon Suppression Department have only one law for dealing with traitors, which is to kill them without mercy. With Cai Guizhong following them, the souls of these traitors were taken away as soon as they were killed to avoid being sacrificed to the mad god in the blood moon.
As for their bodies, special disposal was also carried out immediately. Taoist Master Qiu Shi has not yet cultivated Gu insects that can cause too much damage to the Mad God, so the current treatment is to burn these corpses to prevent them from becoming sacrifices.
"Sir, let me ask you clearly. This is what happened..." As Zhu Xiucai spoke, Qin Shaoyou knew the cause of the war in southern Xinjiang.
It turns out that it was the day when Emperor Jianwu sacrificed to the mad god, triggering a blood moon eclipse. People here in southern Xinjiang also saw strange phenomena in the sky.
And suffered the influence of the crazy gods in the blood moon. Ordinary people fare a little better. Although they were aroused by the mad god to have various desires deep in their hearts, most of them have not had time to implement them, or they have not caused serious consequences.
But the practitioners suffered disaster. Their perceptions are more sensitive than ordinary people, and the impact they receive is more severe. Many of them fall into a state of madness, and even cause a lot of killings.
In fact, similar situations occur not only in southern Xinjiang. At that time, wherever one could see the blood moon and hear the mad god singing, all were affected.
Even Qin Shaoyou's father and his sisters are no exception. Fortunately, because of Qin Shaoyou's influence, Qin Daoren, Xue Qin, Li Qin and others all developed the habit of enshrining statues or tablets of their ancestors and masters at home.
This prevented them from being greatly affected. Fortunately, the vision in the sky did not last long, otherwise those crazy gods would turn the world into a chaotic purgatory even if they could not escape from the Blood Moon Prison.
People here in southern Xinjiang naturally don't know what happened in the capital at that time.
Even less would they know that it was Qin Shaoyou who killed the mad god's clone and assisted the righteous gods such as the Patriarch and Master to re-strengthen the Blood Moon Cage and pin the mad god inside.
All they knew was that they had escaped a terrible natural disaster. But some people didn't escape. Many practitioners, during this process, completely lost themselves, fell into the devil's path, and turned into terrifying monsters.
So in the next few days, the Monster Suppression Departments and Guards Offices in various places were dealing with these monsters who had fallen into the evil way, which involved a lot of their manpower and material resources.
If not, it would not have been possible that no news had been received before the chaos broke out in all directions. On the Southern Xinjiang side, there were many chieftains and royal dignitaries from the Southern Xinjiang countries who were not able to escape this natural disaster.
Although they did not turn into monsters and even regained their self-awareness, their bodies were contaminated, constantly rotting and festering, and large areas of flesh and blood fell off.
The miserable chieftain and the royal dignitaries of the southern Xinjiang countries visited famous doctors and tried many treatments, but to no avail.
Just when they were desperate, a group of mysterious Gu wizards appeared and cured them. These Gu sect wizards did not ask for their rewards. Instead, they told them that the reason why their bodies rotted was not because they had suffered divine punishment, but because they were the chosen ones.
As the saying goes, when heaven is about to entrust a great responsibility to a person, he must first work hard on his determination. The pain and torture they suffered before were tests by the gods.
They didn't go crazy and die, they just survived the test and became the chosen ones. Then he started to instigate these people to cause trouble.
It is said that the sky is dead and the heaven is re-established. The gods need their believers to cooperate in the human world. The way to cooperate was to raise troops and invade the Xia Kingdom, destroy the old temples, build new gods, and spread new doctrines.
Once the Heavenly Court is re-established, they will all be ministers of merit. When the time comes, not only will the power they have established continue for thousands of years, but they will also be granted the title of god and become immortal gods.
When Qin Shaoyou heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly and captured the key information at once.
"Either these Gu wizards are very good at stirring up people's hearts. Or they have used some means to control the chieftains and the royal dignitaries of the southern Xinjiang countries." I dare not say that the chieftains and the royal dignitaries of the southern Xinjiang countries are all old foxes. , but he is not willing to tie his head to his trousers and start an army just because of a lie about becoming an immortal or a god.
They are not the crazy critic of Emperor Jianwu. Zhu Xiucai echoed: "The humble official thinks so too, but it's a pity that the spies were not able to get more useful information." Qin Shaoyou was not surprised by this.
The incident happened suddenly, and the secret agent was able to find out these inside stories, which is considered very capable. He thought for a while and asked: "Do you know where those Gu wizards are now and what their strength is?" In Qin Shaoyou's view, those Gu wizards, even if they are not the masterminds behind the scenes, still have a lot to do with the masterminds behind the scenes. association.
As long as we can find them, we can follow the clues and cut off the mastermind behind the scenes. Once the mastermind behind the chaos is killed, and then the few rebellious chieftains and the rebellious foreign royal dignitaries are killed, the chaos in southern Xinjiang will naturally be solved.
Unfortunately, the spies knew very little about the group of Gu wizards. Zhu Xiucai shook his head and said: "I have asked the spies carefully, but they don't know the whereabouts of those Gu sect wizards. Some speculate that they may be hiding with the chieftain and the head of the foreign royal family, some say they have left long ago, and some say they are with the chieftain. I have seen Gu sects and wizards in the armies of foreign countries, but I don’t know if they are that group of people..." At this point, Zhu Xiucai also explained in particular: "The Gu sect is prevalent here in southern Xinjiang, and the chieftains and soldiers from foreign countries have Among them, there are many Gu wizards accompanying the army. It is indeed difficult to tell whether they are the group of people who instigated the war. As for their strength, it is even more unclear. The secret agents have not seen the group of Gu wizards take action, and no one has seen them. "Exactly..." Qin Shaoyou laughed sarcastically and commented: "The style of these cult people is still the same as before. They want to stir up trouble, but are afraid of being exposed... It is true that dogs cannot change and eat shit!" Zhu Xiucai got it right. He bowed and asked, "Master Governor, what should we do next?" Qin Shaoyou squinted his eyes and looked down at the battlefield below, as if looking at a chessboard.
He said slowly: "These mice want to hide, but I won't let them do it. Follow the third plan and see how long they can hide!"
