Chapter 17 Additional Questions

"What are you doing?"

Nan Yuan stared at Zou Jingcheng's actions in astonishment.

Zou Jingcheng said calmly, "Spirit-eating Gu is born of resentment, and this is the place where resentment is the heaviest, so there must be something in it."

The spirit devouring Gu here is obviously much more powerful than the previous ones. Although supported by the Gu King's strength, the resentment here is too heavy, and the barrier is much weaker than before. I saw those bugs almost clinging to Zou Jingcheng's hand, climbing, Seeing Nan Yuan tremble with fear.

Not long after, Zou Jingcheng took out a black silk handkerchief from the pile of insects.

After Zou Jingcheng spread the Sipa, Nan Yuan took a torch and went up to take a look.

However, after seeing the picture above, Nan Yuan couldn't help being startled.

I saw that it was an embroidery.

Embroidered with a woman holding a baby.

The woman was wearing a court dress, and the baby in her arms was still in its infancy, and the faces of both of them were black.

Zou Jingcheng: "It seems that this silk handkerchief is the source of resentment."

At this time, the swarm of insects obviously began to become restless, and began to climb each other, approaching the two of them continuously.

Zou Jingcheng said in a deep voice: "There is too much resentment here, the Gu King's power won't last long, let's go."

Nan Yuan nodded, and the two immediately evacuated towards the door!

At the same time, the group of spirit devouring Gu broke through the invisible barrier at this moment, gathered together, and spread continuously on the ground, directly blocking their way!

At this time, only Zou Jingcheng said in a deep voice,

"Use an open flame!"

Nan Yuan understood instantly, picked up the torch in his hand, and waved it quickly, constantly driving away the Gu insects that climbed on them. The open fire is indeed the nemesis of the Gu insects. Back away.

However, the next moment, the rustling sound became even more ear-piercing, but it was those spirit-eating Gus gathered together, layer upon layer!Swarm towards Nanyuan!

"careful!"

However, Zou Jingcheng's warning was one step too late. The next moment, the surroundings were plunged into darkness, and he couldn't see his fingers!

The torches were extinguished by hordes of Soul Devouring Gu!

Suddenly, Nan Yuan felt thousands of bugs climbing up his legs, his legs seemed to be nailed in place, unable to move at all, and his thoughts gradually became blurred.

However, at this moment, a force grabbed his arm and dragged him out!

Gradually, Nan Yuan felt a little sanity recovered, and when he opened his eyes again, he found that he was outside the bedroom.

The spider web at the door was sealed again, covering up the terrible scene just now.

Nanyuan wanted to stand up, but his legs and feet were weak, but he couldn't do it at all.

"Your leg has been poisoned by voodoo, don't move around, or the poison will spread faster."

Zou Jingcheng's voice came over, although the tone was still cold, but Nan Yuan seemed to hear a trace of worry.

Nan Yuan lowered his head and was stunned for a moment, only to see black marks all over his legs, reminding him of the ordeal he went through just now.

"Fuck, am I useless now?"

"Fortunately, it's only the leg that's hurt, and it can be cured."

Zou Jingcheng took out a bag from his arms.

Nan Yuan had seen this bag before, so he naturally knew what was in it.

He couldn't help opening his eyes wide, looked at Zou Jingcheng with disbelief, and said in a deep voice,

"Zou Jingcheng, do you have a grudge against me? You want to sprinkle salt on my wound?"

Zou Jingcheng: "This is the way to undo the poison. If you want the poison to penetrate deep into your lungs, then please do so."

At this moment, Nan Yuan vaguely remembered that Zou Jingcheng told himself that salt can delay the behavior of Gu insects, and can also cure voodoo.

"Okay, then you come."

Maybe the ancients exaggerated, and it doesn't hurt so much to sprinkle salt?

"Ah!!!" However, the next second, he immediately slapped him in the face.

Comparing his bumps and bumps when he practiced martial arts in the past, they are completely insignificant!

This is simply the most painful thing in history, no second!

Zou Jingcheng's eyes darkened: "So afraid of pain?"

Nan Yuan glared at him: "You try?"

Zou Jingcheng: "Do you want me to brag to you?"

Nan Yuan: "...No need."

The next moment, a hand stretched out.

Nan Yuan looked confused, "What are you doing?"

Zou Jingcheng, "If you can't stand it, just take a bite."

Nan Yuan opened his eyes wide, thinking whether the school bully looked down on him or something, and immediately refused: "No need, it doesn't hurt that much."

No matter how painful it is, I can't lose my prestige before this frail scholar is alive, otherwise when I go back to school, where will I put my face?

After Zou Jingcheng glanced at him, he didn't say anything, but withdrew his hand, lowered his head and silently applied all the remaining salt on Nan Yuan's leg.

Naturally, Nan Yuan was in excruciating pain and broke out in a cold sweat, but in order to show off his prestige in front of Zou Jingcheng, he forcibly held back his silence from behind.

Zou Jingcheng's method seemed to have a miraculous effect. After applying the salt, the black marks gradually faded away.

After confirming that the poison would not spread, Zou Jingcheng patted Nan Yuan on the shoulder,

"Get up, the toxicity has stopped, go back and lie down for a night, you should be fine."

Nanyuan glanced at the salt-covered leg,

"Just go back like this?"

Zou Jingcheng glanced at him,

"What else? I hug you?"

Nan Yuan: "..." What the hell he wanted to ask was if he had finished looking for the clues?

After he got down to the ground, he found that the strength in his feet had recovered. Although it was painful, he was able to get up and walk around.

"I said, do these Gu insects have enmity with me? They only attacked me alone. The first time was the emperor, the second time was the super training, and this time there was some kind of spirit-eating Gu."

On the way back, Nanyuan couldn't help but complain.

Zou Jingcheng said, "It might really be a coincidence that it happened only once or twice, but it happened all three times, so it definitely can't be a coincidence."

Nan Yuan was stunned, "What do you mean?"

Zou Jingcheng: "In other words, these Gu worms are attacking you on purpose."

Nan Yuan was shocked,

"Why? Where did I mess with them?"

Zou Jingcheng: "Maybe you didn't mess with them, but do you remember? There is another person in your ear..."

Suddenly, Nan Yuan thought of something, and involuntarily stretched out his hands to cover his ears.

"You mean, the female ghost next to my ear?"

Zou Jingcheng nodded intently.

Nan Yuan was very puzzled, "Then why do these Gu worms attack her?"

After Zou Jingcheng was silent for a moment, he raised his head and looked at Nan Yuan,

"I have a bold idea, and I need you to help me verify it."

Nan Yuan looked puzzled, "What idea?"

Why do you have to help him verify it yourself?

Zou Jingcheng: "I guess, the identity of the female ghost next to your ear is the emperor's official wife."

Nan Yuan: "The main wife...you mean, she is the queen?"

At this moment, his bracelet vibrated instantly.

Nan Yuan couldn't help but look confused. Could it be possible that he triggered some scoring items?

However, when he checked the bracelet, he was stunned.

I saw that he scored one point, but the scoring item was——

Complete additional questions +1

And my own additional question is exactly——

【who is she? 】

At this moment, Zou Jingcheng nodded slightly,

"It looks like I guessed."

Nan Yuan was stunned, "What's the situation? How do you know she belongs to the queen?"

Zou Jingcheng: "According to the records of the imperial scrolls, combined with the fact that you have been attacked all the time, I think this is the most likely."

Nan Yuan couldn't help wondering: "Then what is written on the royal scroll?"

Zou Jingcheng asked back, "Do you know why there is no woman in the palace?"

Nanyuan thought of the empress who had turned into a Gu worm, and thought of the resentful imperial concubine's bedroom, so he couldn't help but tentatively said,

"Could it be...they are all dead?"

Zou Jingcheng nodded, affirming his words,

"That's right, they're all dead."

Nan Yuan was surprised and said, "How could it be..."

Zou Jingcheng: "Most of them died in prison."

Nan Yuan: "In prison?"

He instantly thought of the prison where women were crying everywhere.

There are bloodstains of different shades in each cell, which confirms the tragic life of the people locked there.

Nan Yuan: "Why did this happen? What crime did they commit?"

Zou Jingcheng frowned slightly,

"There are various charges, but I think most of them are trumped-up charges, such as treason, disloyalty to the emperor, etc."

Nan Yuan: "Then it's impossible for all the women in the palace to commit crimes?"

Zou Jingcheng, "That's why it is more terrifying for women to be ruthless than men, because women are careful and can completely avoid future troubles."

Nan Yuan: "You mean... the queen did all of this?"

Zou Jingcheng: "The possibility is very high. After all, the emperor has only two heirs, the crown prince and the prince, both of whom were born to the empress. The other concubines have no heirs. This is very unrealistic. The only possibility is that those The concubine and heirs were all killed."

Nan Yuan thought of something instantly, and said with a look of astonishment:

"So, maybe the baby cradle in the imperial concubine's bedroom is real? The imperial concubine was really pregnant at the time?"

Zou Jingcheng nodded, and then he took out the silk handkerchief that he took out from the bedroom just now,

After this silk handkerchief was taken out of the room, the black air dissipated, and the details became clear, Nan Yuan could even see the texture of the bracelet on the imperial concubine's hand.

"Look at the figure of the woman on the embroidery, and the faint stretch marks on the belly. Most women in ancient times stayed in the boudoir, and it is impossible to be so familiar with the appearance of a woman who has just given birth, but this embroidery is so realistic. If it is not It is impossible to embroider it after giving birth to a child."

"That is to say, the queen also set the fire?"

After contemplating for a moment, he spoke again,

"What about the fifth brother? What is his connection with all this? Could it be that he killed the emperor not because of exorbitant taxes, but because of other things?"

Zou Jingcheng paused, then said in a deep voice,

"It's true that it has nothing to do with high taxes, but I found something even stranger."

Nan Yuan: "What's the matter?"

Zou Jingcheng: "I found in the scrolls of the royal family that the emperor has often lived in this place called "Gu Yun" for a while since 20 years ago, until six years ago, that place completely disappeared."

Nan Yuan: "Disappear?"

Zou Jingcheng nodded: "The people there suddenly disappeared, and they couldn't be found anywhere, and then they just let it go."

At this time, thinking of Zou Jingcheng's previous words again, Nan Yuan said in a deep voice,

"Could it be that...this fifth brother is the emperor's illegitimate son? After the empress found out, she destroyed the entire village?"

Zou Jingcheng: "Looking at it now, this possibility is the most likely, because after that, the queen suffered from a strange disease, black spots began to grow all over her body, and she talked nonsense every day. Finally, her body was found in the prison , has turned black all over, and I can't make out my face."

At this moment, Nan Yuan couldn't help thinking of something,

"Could it be that the fifth brother did it?"

He looked at Zou Jingcheng, and said in a deep voice, "After the fifth brother knew about the queen's evil deeds, he used voodoo on her. That's why the queen turned into a Gu worm because of her resentment, and made a wish to kill him to avenge her?"

Zou Jingcheng seemed to be thinking about something, but he didn't answer.

If this is the case, then everything seems to make sense and become a complete closed loop.

only……

Having spent a long time with this Gu worm by the ear, Nan Yuan can be considered to have a little understanding of her character.

Is this empress who weeps over the emperor's corpse and screams and fears really such a vicious woman?
