Heaven and Earth Changes and Chaos Birth Chapter 23
The Yizhou Underground Palace finally lit up, and torches were lit all around.
Magistrate Lin put the collected seeds of matte grass in a jar, and wrapped the jar with a thick black cloth.
Since all the lightless grasses have been picked, there is no need to cover the underground palace tightly anymore. It is also time to let the underground palace see some light.
Only then did I see clearly that there were broken human body parts inside the soil, such as arms, legs, and palms. If not for a single finger being exposed, no one would have noticed!
Because it was too broken, people who usually picked it didn't notice it in the dim light.
Magistrate Lin and everyone present took a breath. No wonder every time someone was buried, the body disappeared the next day. It turned out that Yi Jing dug it out and used it as fertilizer!
I can't imagine what kind of hell this kind of thing comes out of.
There were more than a dozen people in the corner, all tied up tightly, with a ball of cloth stuffed in their mouths. Everyone had a look of horror on their faces. They didn't know what Magistrate Lin was going to do, whether they were alive or dead? Can they still survive?
Go home and see your loved ones.
"Don't blame me, I'm just doing things for others," County Magistrate Lin said and looked at the entrance to the underground palace. "It's not me who wants to do anything to you, but King Tai'an. Just ask for your own blessings." After that, he said.
Waved to his men.
Several of his men covered their heads with black cloth.
After a while, Yi Jing came over with someone.
Yi Jing touched the jar containing the matte grass with his hand: "How many are in a jar?"
County Magistrate Lin: "A hundred of them, a total of thirty-six jars, a total of 3,600 plants have been picked."
Yi Jing nodded with satisfaction: "Where is the person I asked you to find?"
Magistrate Lin pointed to the corner: "There are seventeen people in total."
Yi Jing walked over and took a look: "Not bad, very good."
A hint of cunning flashed across County Magistrate Lin's eyes inadvertently, and he quickly regained his humility.
Yi Jing walked up to Magistrate Lin and patted him gently: "Well done," after thinking for a while he asked: "Did the immortal really borrow your money?"
County Magistrate Lin: "It is indeed true. I dare not deceive the prince. I was settling accounts that day..."
Magistrate Lin explained in detail how Xuanyuan borrowed money.
"Then you can't get this money back. Even if you go to the current emperor, he won't dare to ask for it!" Yi Jing couldn't help laughing.
County Magistrate Lin sighed helplessly: "I know, just think of it as a way to accumulate some bad virtue."
Seeing Magistrate Lin's unlucky look, Yi Jing found it even more funny and burst into laughter.
County Magistrate Lin was also smiling when he looked at Yi Jing, but the expression on his smiling face became distorted, extremely weird and scary.
Yi Jing never took Magistrate Lin seriously, so he didn't notice the change in Magistrate Lin's expression.
"Okay, you can go back!" Yi Jing said, not even bothering to look back at Magistrate Lin.
Kunlun Temple Elder Hall.
Hua Han was going to find Elder Qu and tell him some things he knew.
"Elder Qu, are you there?" Hua Han asked respectfully while knocking on the door.
No response after a long time!
Hua Han was a little confused. It was already late at night and the elder could not go outside. In the past, at this time, Elder Qu was always reading or practicing internal skills!
Hua Han felt vaguely uneasy and quickly pushed the door open only to find that it had been locked.
Hua Han came to the window and wanted to see clearly what was going on inside, but it was as dark as a bottomless pit, so he had to listen carefully.
There was dead silence, no sound could be heard.
It shouldn't be. The doors and windows were locked, so there shouldn't be any accidents. Could it be that they went outside?
Hua Han decided to come back early tomorrow morning. He still felt uneasy after taking a few steps, so he took a few steps back and opened the door with a run.
"Elder Qu?" Hua Han called tentatively.
Still no sound.
Hua Han walked to the wall and lit a candle. Since the room was quite large, the light of one candle was still insignificant and could only illuminate a small area.
Hua Han walked forward cautiously while holding the candle, calling out as he walked: "Elder Qu?"
Suddenly, he tripped under his feet and stumbled to the ground.
Hua Han staggered up, holding a candle to see clearly what thing had just tripped him?
"Ah——" Hua Han screamed and fell to the ground, his face full of horror.
What was motionless on the ground was Elder Qu's head.
At this time, a man sneaked out of the Kunlun Sect Leader's Hall, yawned and planned to go back to sleep.
After taking a few steps, he was frightened by the sound of voices in the corner and stepped back.
She didn't expect that someone was still awake!
Fortunately, I didn't run into them when I came here!
What are you talking about in the middle of the night?
She pricked up her ears and eavesdropped, and only heard the two people saying...
"I have already solved the problem for you. From now on, no one will dare to stop you from becoming the leader."
"What? Kill him!"
"Then what do you think I should do? Persuade him not to stop you? Don't be naive! Killing him is the simplest and most effective way."
"But, others will definitely think that I killed him!"
"Don't worry, I will kill anyone who dares to doubt you."
"But--"
"Shut up, there are so many. When you become the leader, lend me the key to the Nameless Tower. Don't forget our original promise."
"What do you want the key for? What secret does that tower hold?"
"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask, get out of here!"
After the two left, there was no movement for a while, and then the eavesdropper felt relieved and walked out.
After walking a few steps, I heard a large group of people shouting: "Elder Qu has been killed——"
Hearing this, the person who had just eavesdropped took off his hijab. It turned out to be Hua Xian.
She originally thought about secretly coming to the Head Palace to see if she could find any useful clues, but she didn't expect that she would get something unexpected.
One of the voices of the two people just now was clearly that of Qi Fan. From their conversation, Hua Xian also judged that Qi Fan had a deal with that mysterious man.
The content of the transaction is also very simple, that is, the mysterious person helps Qi Fan ascend to power, and after Qi Fan ascends to the throne, he will use the convenience to give the key to the Nameless Tower to the mysterious person.
Who is this mysterious man?
It seems that Elder Qu was killed tonight by this person. What was his purpose in doing this?
Are there really monsters trapped inside the Nameless Tower?
So is this mysterious man going to release monsters?
Hua Xian didn't dare to think too much and hurriedly walked towards the Elder's Hall.
There was a large group of people in the Elder's Hall, and standing outside was Hua Han, whose face was pale and had not yet recovered from his fatigue.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
Hua Han was still trembling a little. Although he had been cultivating Taoism for a long time and had seen dead people, this was the first time for Hua Han to see such a terrifying situation. He trembled and said: "Elder Qu was killed and his body was separated."
"Wha, what?" Hua Xian couldn't believe it. Although she already knew that Elder Qu was killed before coming here, she was still shocked when she heard that the bodies were separated.
Hua Han slowly calmed down: "I came to see Elder Qu and wanted to tell him some things I knew, but I didn't expect - I entered the house in the dark and stepped on Elder Qu's head."
Hua Xian was also so surprised that her mouth opened wide.
A long time passed.
"Brother, I know who killed Elder Qu, that is -" Hua Xian was interrupted before she could finish her sentence.
"Really? Hua Xian, tell me!"
Hua Xian turned around and saw Qi Fan smiling at her, but this smile was meaningful and cold! This chapter has been completed!
