System invasion, Queen fights monsters to upgrade, kills the system
Chapter 78: God-Covering Bell
Seeing that King Fengdu had left, the remaining few people took off their outer shells of neatly dressed and sitting upright, returning to their original appearance.
The first one to let go of himself was Cui Yu.
He changed his previous complacent attitude, and his whole face looked more bitter than bitter gourd.
He slapped his thigh and complained: "Jiaojiao, you said you didn't open your magic eyes, so how could you tell that it was the King of Fengdu?"
"Oh my, my savings are going to be taken away by that guy Wei Zheng."
Wei Zheng, who had won a great victory, stroked his beard and said triumphantly, "Cui Pan, you were the one who first used the name of Fengdu Emperor's incognito visit to make a bet with me and Lu Daozhi. You may default on it."
"Besides, it was you who said that as long as Jiaojiao can guess the identity of the King of Fengdu without opening the magic eye, Lu Daozhi and I will win."
Cui Yu sat on the chair with a look of grief, muttering quietly: "When Fengdu Emperor came out with us before, no one could recognize her. How could I have known she was so powerful?"
Wei Zheng raised his eyebrows. He was hiding his merits and fame. He would not admit that he had informed his junior brother in advance that only the three judges would come...
Lu Daozhi, who had remained silent the whole time, couldn't bear to see Cui Yu so depressed and depressed.
"Brother Cui Yu, I don't want my share of the money."
Upon hearing this, Cui Yu instantly cheered up, holding Lu Daozhi's hand and repeating: "Good brother, you are really my good brother."
As he spoke, he glanced at Wei Zheng standing beside him, and the meaning in his eyes was as obvious as it could be.
Wei Zhengquan pretended not to see it and turned to talk to Xu Zhoujiao about Mu Jinsheng.
"Jiaojiao, we have found all of Shi Jun's past on the Three Lives Stone, and we also know who he replaced in the first place."
"That man is called Mu Jinsheng, and he is from Dazhen. He has been very smart since he was young, and he could speak eloquently at a young age. At the age of sixteen, he won the first place in the autumn examination."
"When he became famous, he met a man who admired his talent very much. This man called himself Mr. Long. He invited Mu Jinsheng to his mansion to be his guest, but Mu Jinsheng refused outright because he was determined to take the imperial examination."
"In the following two years, Mr. Long frequently visited me and invited me many times. The conditions he offered were beyond the reach of ordinary officials, but Mu Jinsheng was unmoved. He insisted on taking the imperial examination and wanted to stand up for the people."
"However, the good times didn't last long. Just when he decided to go to his future wife's family to fulfill her engagement, on a rainy night before his departure, his family was slaughtered by a group of bandits who suddenly arrived. No one survived."
"The strange thing is that Mu Jinsheng's body disappeared after his death, and his soul did not return to the underworld, as if he was abducted by someone. At this time, Shi Jun appeared from nowhere. He looked exactly like Mu Jinsheng. He took the dagger to the Shu family to recognize his relatives and gave a fake name, Mu Sheng."
Xuzhou Jiao interrupted Wei Zheng's words temporarily and pointed out the key point: "Uncle, are you saying that Mu Jinsheng was killed before he set out?"
Wei Zheng nodded: "Yes, before he could set out, his entire family was tragically killed."
She still didn't understand why Shi Jun used a completely unrelated fake name: "So it's not because his family fell into poverty that he went to visit his relatives, then why did Shi Jun use the fake name Mu Sheng? Isn't he afraid that his true identity would be exposed."
As for the engagement, it was because the Mu family moved far away a long time ago and the two families had no contact, which allowed Shi Jun to take advantage of the opportunity.
But what about the name? Isn't Shi Jun afraid that someone will use Mu Jinsheng as an excuse one day?
Yes, as long as he refuses to admit it, no one can do anything to him, after all, the entire Mu family is dead. But what if someone investigates? Isn't this the biggest loophole?
Wei Zheng smiled and praised her: "Not bad, little niece, you found the unreasonable part so quickly?"
"We haven't figured this out yet. Perhaps we will only know when Shi Jun is executed."
Xu Zhoujiao nodded. Indeed, now was not the time to dwell on such a small matter. After all, it was not appropriate to alert the enemy now.
She motioned for Wei Zheng to continue.
"That's all the information about Mu Jinsheng on the Three Lives Stone. The part about Shi Jun is very interesting."
"Shi Jun was a child prodigy since he was young, but he was arrogant and looked down on others. When he was eighteen, his family fell into poverty, and he left home. He did not reappear until two years later."
"There is no record of the two years in between on the Sansheng Stone."
Xu Zhoujiao was very surprised: "Is there anything in this world that the Three Lives Stone cannot see?"
Wei Zheng nodded: "You should ask Cui Yu about the details of this matter."
Xu Zhoujiao turned to look at Cui Yu who was still angry, and smiled secretly: "Cui Pan, can you tell me the reason?"
Cui Yu looked at the two people who were talking happily, and said in a sarcastic tone: "I thought you didn't need me and Lu Daozhi anymore."
Xu Zhoujiao looked at him teasingly: "How can that be possible? No one can judge you."
Hearing Xu Zhoujiao say this, Cui Yu coughed lightly and tried to save his image: "I don't have to show this, I only said it because you need me."
"Besides, the Emperor of Fengdu has already said that he wants the three of us to tell her, right?"
What's the point of you talking alone?
Wei Zheng rolled his eyes at him in his heart and said perfunctorily, "Yes, yes, yes, Brother Cui is right. It's all because I like to show off."
Cui Yu was completely happy now, smiling like a flower: You little brat, I can't cure you! I'll let you win my money...
Xu Zhoujiao looked at Cui Yu who was like an old naughty boy, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: Who would have thought that Cui Pan, who was ranked first in the underworld, would be like this...
When it comes to business, Cui Yu put away his unreliable look and told Xu Zhoujiao a serious story that happened three thousand years ago:
There once was a clan of red dragons in the divine world. They were diligent and meticulous in both being dragons and doing other things.
He has looked after many divine artifacts for the gods and is very favored by them.
Three thousand years ago, the patriarch of the Red Dragon clan was ordered to look after the artifact, the God-Covering Bell, but due to dereliction of duty, the God-Covering Bell was stolen.
The gods were furious and sentenced the red dragon leader to death by beheading, and all the red dragons were exiled.
No matter how the gods tried to investigate, they could not find any trace of the God Covering Bell.
I just never thought that three thousand years later, I would see clues again from Shi Jun.
Hearing Cui Yu mention the God Covering Bell, Xuzhou Jiao seemed to be thinking: "Could it be that this God Covering Bell has something special that can deceive the Three Lives Stone?"
Cui Yu nodded: "This God Covering Bell is shaped like an ancient bell, and it can isolate all the reincarnations of the world. If you cover a person or an object in it, you can hide your traces in the three realms, without anyone noticing."
Xu Zhoujiao really didn't expect that Shi Jun would be related to the divine weapon: "What Cui Pan meant was that someone used the God Covering Bell on him, so the Three Lives Stone didn't know where he was?"
Cui Yu shook his head: "Not only Shi Jun, but also Mu Jinsheng has been used by others."
So, Shi Jun was impersonating Mu Jinsheng because of someone else's instructions? This person also holds the God Covering Bell.
Xu Zhoujiao thought of another person and asked Cui Yu, "What about Mu Sheng? It's Mu Sheng who entered the underworld again after twelve years."
"He is not. This person just borrowed Mu Jinsheng's fortune book. He was originally a scholar. He drank too much with his friends and fell into the water and died."
"After death, he was trapped in the lake until he was sent to the underworld."
"But he seemed to have no recollection of his past and completely regarded himself as Mu Jinsheng himself."
"It was Pan Lu who discovered his strangeness and arrested him. He ordered people to feed him with drugs every day, and only then did he remember who he was."
Xu Zhoujiao looked at Lu Daozhi who was standing beside her and asked him, "Does he still remember who gave him the destiny book and who sent him to the underworld?"
Lu Daozhi replied: "He only mentioned a person wearing a mask, but he didn't know who it was."
"Although we don't know who this person is, it's not hard to find out by linking all the events together. Whether it's taking away Mu Jinsheng's body or instructing Shi Jun to pretend to be his relative, all of this was done by one person."
"And this person has a close relationship with the City God Temple."
Xu Zhoujiao suddenly remembered the dragon she had fought with before, and took out the dragon scale and handed it to them one by one.
"This was left by the dragon that came to rescue me when I was fighting with the old city god."
"There were two people who came at that time. I suspect that the other one had the God-Shielding Bell you mentioned."
Cui Yu looked at the dragon scale carefully and exclaimed: "This, this is the dragon scale of the Red Dragon Clan.
Red Dragon? Weren't they exiled because the God-Covering Bell was stolen? How could they be with the God-Covering Bell? Could it be that they stole the money from the company?
Wei Zheng asked her, "My little niece, can you tell me the details of what happened at that time?"
"I had just chopped off the old city god's arm. He was afraid that I would kill him, so he shouted for help. In the end, two people actually saved him."
"Neither of them revealed their true appearance."
"I got into a fight with one of them, but my sword couldn't reach him. It was as if he had a shell on his body that blocked the sword back."
"Their purpose was not just to save people, they also wanted to seize the Skysault, but I stopped them."
After listening to her description, the three judges fell silent: They felt that the King of Fengdu seemed to have left too early...
Only the Night Walker at the side stared at Xu Zhoujiao without blinking, his whole face full of admiration.
Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Lu Daozhi stood up and said to the two judges Cui Wei, "It seems that we should leave. The Red Dragon and the God Covering Bell appeared at the same time. We still have to report this matter to the Emperor of Fengdu first."
Cui Yu and Wei Zheng looked at each other and stood up together.
Before leaving, they told Xu Zhoujiao who the traitor who was in collusion with the City God Temple was.
At that time, Emperor Dongyue chose Wei Zheng to go to the mortal world, and the position of judge in the underworld was vacant, so a ghost messenger from the Eighth Palace was temporarily used.
Not long after, he was recruited by the old City God for his own use. During his tenure, he took advantage of his position many times to open the back door for the old City God and let the unclear ghosts on the Book of Life and Death cross the Naihe Bridge.
Naturally, he was the one who tipped off Shi Jun.
Now he has been captured and will be dealt with together with the old city god and Shi Jun after they are executed.
With the departure of the three judges, the bustling main hall became quiet again.
Seeing that all the visitors had left, the Night Wanderer picked up the box on the table and held it in front of Xuzhou Jiao, saying expectantly, "Sir, please open it and take a look. The gift sent by the Emperor of Fengdu must be extraordinary."
Xu Zhoujiao was also a little curious.
She opened the box, and inside was a milky white whip with bits of lightning power on it.
The handle is engraved with the words: Disperse all filth and send forth fresh breeze, guard against the mighty thunder.
Taking out the whip, Xuzhou Jiao held it in her hand and felt it.
Well, it’s neither light nor heavy, just like it was tailor-made for me, and it fits the hand very well.
She tried to pull it out.
"Crack~"
The clear and crisp sound soared into the sky, causing thunder to explode above the city of Kyoto.
The roar seemed to have the divine power to break the filth of the world. It made the kind-hearted and righteous people hear it clearly, and scared the evil people so much that they ran away in panic.
Xu Zhoujiao looked at the whip and slowly raised the corners of her mouth: She seemed to know how to deal with the snake girl...
