Chapter 621: Taking the elixir and turning into a zombie
Qin Shaoyou thought that the Demon Lord had made so many transactions with the King of Shu and was bribed by promising high-ranking officials and generous salaries. He might know some clues, so he asked tentatively.
Unexpectedly, this demon master knew more inside information than Qin Shaoyou imagined, and it gave him a big surprise.
"How do you know that the zombie raised underground in Mianyuan County is the Crown Prince of Shu?"
The Demon Lord first asked in surprise, and then revealed the information uncontrollably:
"According to the information I heard secretly, the reason why the Prince of Shu turned into a zombie was because he took an elixir."
"Elixir?"
Qin Shaoyou and Zhu Xiucai looked at each other, both surprised.
Eat the elixir and turn into a zombie?
Is it an elixir, or is it the corpse that has become scattered?
The Demon Lord sneered again and again and told everything he knew:
"The King of Shu got an elixir. He couldn't bear to eat it, so he gave it to his son. He wanted his son to eat it and transform into an immortal god. But he never expected that after taking the elixir, his son would become an immortal god.
He didn't take it seriously, but he was poisoned and died on the spot, and soon transformed into a zombie. The King of Shu was afraid that if the news was leaked, it would have a negative impact on him, so he had many servants present at the time 'die of illness'.
It was claimed that there was an epidemic. I don’t know where they found someone who was very similar to his son, and pretended that the prince was still alive... I heard that the prince of Shu was a promising member of the royal family.
My dear, it is ironic that you became a zombie in order to become an immortal!"
After listening to the demon lord's story, Zhu Xiucai shook his head and sighed: "Why do all these royal dignitaries want to become immortals? The current emperor is like this, and so is the King of Shu and his eldest son."
Qin Shaoyou saw this matter quite thoroughly and sneered: "It's not surprising that these noble people have enjoyed the glory and wealth of the world a lot, but don't they just want to become immortals and gods? And they want to become immortals and gods.
, I’m afraid most of them are rushing towards immortality. Once they become immortals and become immortals, the power can be in their hands forever, and the imperial power, kingship, and other powers can always be possessed."
Zhu Xiucai was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, it seemed that this was really the case.
He glanced around and saw that no one else was there, so he sighed in a low voice: "It's better for these noble people not to live forever, otherwise this world will be in chaos!"
Qin Shaoyou did not scold Zhu Xiucai this time, but nodded.
But he did not continue the topic.
Seeing that Zhu Xiucai was sweating profusely and his buttocks were trembling, and that he might not be able to sustain the consumption of the mantra at any time, Qin Shaoyou quickly gave him an encouraging look of 'Hold on'.
At the same time, he seized the time and interrogated the Demon Lord: "Do you know where King Shu got the elixir from?"
"It is said that it was offered by an alchemist." The Demon Lord replied, "Don't ask me who the alchemist is, I don't know either."
The Demon Lord didn't know who the alchemist was who offered the elixir, but in the minds of Qin Shaoyou and Zhu Xiucai, a person suddenly appeared - the corpse-raising sorcerer who was with the Corpse King at that time.
Could it be this person who offered the ‘elixir’?
But if the elixir was really offered by a zombie sorcerer, why did the King of Shu not chop off his head after the prince ate his 'elixir' and turned into a zombie, but let him continue to follow the zombie prince?
Are you asking him to atone for his sins?
Or is there something else hidden in this matter?
And if the alchemist who offers alchemy and the sorcerer who raises corpses are not the same person, who are they?
In addition, there is another rather strange point: since this man has the 'elixir' in his hand, why didn't he offer it to the emperor who wanted to cultivate immortality instead of offering it to the King of Shu?
Who in the Great Xia Dynasty does not know that the biggest dream of the current emperor is to become an immortal, and for this purpose, he would not hesitate to offer high-ranking officials generous salaries as rewards.
If that person knew that there was something wrong with his 'elixir' and was afraid that the emperor would find out, then wouldn't he be afraid that the King of Shu would find out?
After all, we are risking our lives, so why not take a bigger risk?
Or is there some unknown secret hidden in this matter?
Gu Qi
It's a pity that the Demon Lord doesn't even know who the person who presented the elixir is, so it naturally can't give answers to Qin Shaoyou's series of questions.
So Qin Shaoyou changed things and asked: "Besides you, which other demons and ghosts has the King of Shu made wishes for and granted official status to?"
The Demon Lord shook his head: "I don't know about that. As long as I have an official position, that's fine. I can't care about other things about Demon Qin."
Qin Shaoyou also wanted to interrogate a list of the 'Demon Ghost Rebel Alliance' from the demon lord and give it to Zuo Qianhu, asking him to eradicate them one by one, while he followed behind. He could pick up heads, but he couldn't.
After getting the heads, it would be good to get some food back.
It's a pity that although this demon lord is an official fan, he is only interested in his own official position and has no clue about the situation of his colleagues.
At this point in the interrogation, Zhu Xiucai finally couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed on the ground, his whole body soaked with cold sweat and panting heavily.
Seeing his appearance, the Demon Lord was stunned for a moment, and then laughed happily: "Hahaha, you also had your body hollowed out? You deserve it!"
"I'm different from you. I can recover after taking a short rest." Zhu Xiucai said, while Su Jianqing raised her hand and cast a recovery spell on him, allowing his blood and energy to be quickly nourished and restored.
.
The Demon Lord wanted to say, 'I can recover after taking a short rest,' but after taking a look at Qin Shaoyou, who was watching eagerly next to him, he swallowed these words rationally and just snorted.
Zhu Xiucai did not continue to provoke it, and turned to Qin Shaoyou: "Sir, what do you plan to do with this demon king?"
Qin Shaoyou pondered for a while and then said: "Tie them up and take them to the Demon Division of Zhouzhen and hand them over to Mr. Qianhu and let him make a decision. After all, this demon king is a direct witness of King Shu's intention to rebel! Although we just recorded
The interrogation scene was set up, but according to the rules of the Demon Suppression Department, extremely important witnesses like this must also be handed over to higher-level departments for disposal."
In the previous inquiry, the Demon Lord admitted that it would accept the reward of a third-grade military officer from the King of Shu because the chief official of the Prince of Shu's Mansion had assured it that the King of Shu would definitely ascend to the throne!
If Qin Shaoyou and Zhu Xiucai's previous judgment that "the King of Shu is going to rebel" was a conjecture based on various clues, then the Demon Lord's words are immediately confirmed!
After all, with the status and reputation of the King of Shu, even if the current emperor does not have a prince, it will not be his turn to inherit the throne.
In front of him, there were several distinguished princes lined up.
If he didn't have the intention of rebellion, where would the King of Shu have the confidence to think that he could sit on David?
And when he appointed officials and made wishes, and bribed demons and even officials in Shu, he was obviously preparing for rebellion.
In addition, there is another reason for not killing the demon lord for the time being - Qin Shaoyou wants to squeeze out some of the demon lord's spider venom on the way to the state capital.
And when Zuo Qianhu arrived at the Demon Division of Zhouzhen and decided to kill the demon lord, Qin Shaoyou could also apply to be the chief executioner and kill the demon lord to see if he could come up with a new recipe.
The reason was found, so he said it was the Patriarch who asked him to kill it.
I believe that the founder would be happy to take such a blame in order to have new food to eat.
Zhu Xiucai secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Qin Shaoyou's words.
What he was worried about was that Qin Shaoyou was impulsive and insisted on killing the demon lord on the spot.
Even if Zuo Qianhu is willing to help take the blame, this kind of violation of regulations will definitely cause some trouble for Qin Shaoyou.
Fortunately, Qin Shaoyou remained calm as always.
The Demon Lord also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he would not have to die for the time being.
But then, it saw Qin Shaoyou's smile on it.
The Demon Lord was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, his face changed drastically, and he shouted loudly: "You should kill me! Please give me a good time! Kill me...kill me!"
Zhu Xiucai, who was sitting on the ground taking a breather, was stunned.
Are all the monsters these days so courageous? After being captured, they don’t just want to live, but they just want to die?
