Lord of the Tricks

Chapter 95 Holding Thunder in Hand, Death Knell Rings

Ever since Lei Yu explored the Cave of Sorrows with ease and encountered almost no danger, Yu Ziqing felt that something was wrong.

Because this is completely different from what number four said.

He also didn't think that the travel notes left by No. [-]'s ancestors were deceiving their younger generations.

Objective records will not specifically record mistakes, because this will deceive their own juniors.

At best, "I was beaten badly and dare not go" became "I respect my ancestors and don't want to bother them".

Then, when Yu Ziqing sorted out the fragments that had lost their power to those metal pages, he found something different.

The content on some of the above pages is very consistent with what No. [-] said.

If it was just that, Yu Ziqing wouldn't think too much.

But when he sorted out the page depicting the devil, he could instantly tell that the painting was a devil, and he was as unwavering as instinct.

Yu Ziqing felt that something was wrong.

Because that instinct belongs to the instinct of hungry ghosts, the instinct to instantly recognize delicious food.

But this instinct is aroused, so unwavering, there is also a condition, that is, that thing is really a monster, not a painting.

After thinking of this, Yu Ziqing felt that his scalp was about to explode.

I checked with No. [-] again, the painting on the metal page is indeed the queen of mourning.

Yu Ziqing immediately thought of a possibility.

You said, is there a possibility that No. [-]'s ancestors did not lie, and what No. [-] said is also true.

What Lei Yu experienced was also true.

The mourning cave mentioned by No. [-] and the mourning cave that Lei Yu went to are indeed the same cave.

Even what Su Li said, the records of the Shadow Department are basically true.

Organized the timeline.

For the first time, a long time ago, an ancestor of No. [-] went there. The place was full of evil spirits and evil spirits. It was also the mausoleum of a big man named Luoge Tianjun.

After No. [-]'s ancestor was taught to be a human being, he escaped in embarrassment and taught his descendants the ancestral training.

The second time, more than 100 years ago, people from Lihuoyuan, Shadow Division, and Prince Dazhen, for some reason, cooperated to explore the cave of sorrow.

Then, they encountered a powerful necromancer inside.

As a result, two ascetics from the Lihuo Academy died, and half of the senior members of the Shadow Department died.

The people who shook the prince are basically dead.

At this price, the powerful enemy said to be the undead was sealed.

Then re-strengthen the protection of the cave entrance.

The third time, is now, Lei Yu entered the exploration, and he has never encountered any danger, all the evil spirits and evil spirits are gone, even the mausoleum is only left with ruins, and almost all the remaining treasures are shattered.

When Yu Ziqing sorted out those treasures, he could clearly judge that most of the treasures were not eroded by time and damaged naturally, but were damaged by external forces.

Putting all these clues together, Yu Ziqing felt his heart beating wildly, and he made a bold guess.

Yu Ziqing picked up the metal pages and hurried to where the old sheep was.

"Old sheep, stop first, I feel that something big is going to happen."

"Look first."

Yu Ziqing casually placed those metal pages on the ground, and then he quickly said what he knew.

"You said, is there a possibility that the rumor is not exaggerated, but shrunk."

"Shrunk?"

"It is said that they paid a huge price to seal the undead. I mean, is it possible that they not only sealed the undead, but sealed the entire cave?"

With a trace of horror on Yu Ziqing's face, he pointed to the page of the devil.

"I trust my feeling that it's a monster, not a painting.

If you want to seal a demon, not just seal a dead spirit, then the most thorough and safest way is to seal the entire cave.

Am I right? "

The old sheep stared at those metal pages, fell silent for a moment, then suddenly stretched out a hoof, and stepped heavily on the page of the devil.

"Fuck?!" Yu Ziqing turned pale with shock.

In an instant, densely packed runes appeared on the pages of the metal book, which seemed to be ordinary and slightly deformed, and the material did not seem to be very good. After the runes appeared, there were layers of dao patterns , hook up all the runes.

Terrible coercion emerged out of thin air, instantly rebounding the old sheep's strength, turning it into an afterimage and flying out backwards.

The old sheep crawled out from the pile of rubble with a solemn expression on his face.

"If you're not sure, just try it. Anyway, no matter how strong this monster is, if it falls into the hands of millions of hungry ghosts here, it will also end up being killed by ants."

Now there is no need to ask or guess, the result has already come out.

Today's mourning cave has become an empty shell.

Everything in the real cave of mourning was sealed in a metal book by those two ruthless people from Lihuoyuan back then.

The old sheep stretched out a hoof, gently touched the metal pages, until he saw the only golden metal page, looked at the villain on it, and said in a deep voice.

"Since ancient times, the secret method of sealing has been handed down.

The strongest two, one is named Jiang, and the other is named Ji.

Nowadays, only families like them with a long history will separate their surnames.

I've heard before that in Lihuoyuan, each of the two families has a monk, but I didn't expect them to have fallen more than 100 years ago.

You guessed it right, if the two ascetics sent by the Lihuo Academy were the two of them, even if they have not yet entered the Tao, if they work together, as long as they are willing to pay the price, they will definitely be able to achieve this step. "

"This also means that from the very beginning, their purpose was very clear, and it was not an ordinary expedition at all." Yu Ziqing added.

Who would bring people from the Feng family and the Yin family when exploring the cave normally, or they are both monks who may not have entered the Tao?

This shows a clear purpose.

"But things are a little troublesome now. This thing was originally a book, but now it's all scattered. Does it mean that there is something wrong with the seal, or is this better?"

"Don't ask me, do you really think I know everything?"

In the past, Lao Yang really felt this way occasionally. I know astronomy first, geography second, and everything in the world, I know more or less.

Now, after he was in trouble and his mentality had completely settled down, he was a little annoyed. He felt that he knew nothing.

On the contrary, I feel that there are more and more things I don't understand, and there are more and more things I don't understand.

He thought it was a good thing. According to Yu Ziqing, he used to float occasionally.

For ascetics, being adrift is not a good thing.

"Sealing the secret method requires a very high accumulation of knowledge, and it is indeed suitable for the path of the ascetic, but it is not something that everyone can master.

There are only two seals and seals, which have a long and complete inheritance, so they can be mastered so well.

In terms of sealing secrets alone, Langya Yuan's mastery is far inferior to those of the two of them.

Especially when the two families work together, the secret method of sealing has been unmatched by anyone in the world since ancient times. "

After the old sheep finished blowing, he pointed to the metal pages.

"However, I speculate that there may be something wrong, look at those metal pages.

Only one is golden, giving people the feeling of being upright and mighty. This one should be the appearance of those two guys when they were sealed. I don't know the seal formula. It may be some kind of seal seal. tactic.

And the picture of the devil is already pure black, just looking at it makes me feel uncomfortable, it seems that the devil is about to break out of the painting.

In addition, the page with the severed limbs is also black, giving people a sense of oppression, as if they will lift their feet and rush out of the painting in the next moment.

Although the page of Tombstone Mountain is also black, it only has a lifeless feeling. "

Yu Ziqing looked dizzy for a while.

Plus the page full of monsters.

In other words, it was not just a demon who was sealed at that time.

There is also a large severed limb that is clearly movable.

A large group of evil spirits.

There is also the real mausoleum of Luoge Tianjun.

And No. [-] said that it was a dead spirit that was sealed at that time.

Therefore, the corpse of Luoge Tianjun, or the dead soul, might come out for a while.

There were four in total, except for the devil who looked pure at first glance, Yu Ziqing felt that he was a little tricky, not completely out of the question, the others, he couldn't handle any one at random.

"You said that Lei Yu and Lei Shi did it on purpose?"

"It's unlikely. I don't even have any memory of it. No matter how deliberately Lei Shi does it, he won't let their first-in-line heir take risks."

"All right……"

Yu Ziqing also thinks it is unlikely, Lao Yang has no impression, and the records of the Shadow Department are also different, and the incident more than 100 years ago did not involve Lei Shi.

With so many people covering their heads, it's normal for Lei to not know what's going on.

If they knew the inside story back then, they would have dared to let Lei Yu mess around there.

Therefore, this matter became a coincidence. Lei Yu was not that greedy, but also smart enough. He felt that this time he took advantage of too much, so he casually gave him half of it, and there happened to be some pages in it.

And the combination of those pages should not be complete, and some of the remaining pages may still be in Lei Yu's half.

Yu Ziqing's mentality was a little fried.

He had only heard about the past before, and he didn't dare to enter the cave of grief for the sake of caution.

In the end, the entire mourning cave almost fell into his hands.

What is this called, holding thunder?

Pick a lucky player to blow up?
Since Lei Yu came out intact, there was no response from Prince Dazhen, neither from Shadow Division, nor from Lihuoyuan.

No one seemed to notice this.

Yu Ziqing didn't believe it, they didn't record it at all.

If the situation was too critical back then, he would have sealed the ascetics of the two families, sacrificed himself, and directly sealed the entire mourning cave in a metal book.

Those who escaped in time only dared to strengthen the protection of the entrance at the first time, and did not dare to enter again to take away the sealed item.

The lack of attention and response now has become the biggest anomaly.

"It's too abnormal now, old sheep, I don't think it's that simple."

"This thing must never be placed in my hands, who knows when it will explode!"

Just looking at those metal pages, Yu Ziqing felt the hairs all over his body stand on end. He wanted to take some things away from Jinlan Mountain.

But then I thought, there must be someone who knew the inside story but didn't respond, in case he rushed out in panic now.

Did it just meet the expectations of those people?
After thinking about it, I immediately wrote to Lei Yu.

"Brother Yu, as the saying goes, seeing each other in a day is like three autumns, I miss you very much.

You and I are brothers, although they are not close blood relatives, but they are also brothers who are like half-brothers.

Just as the elders in the family had their birthdays approaching, they boldly extended the invitation.

Please brother Yu, please Lizu, if it is convenient, let's come and sit at home together. "

He didn't dare to write too clearly, but he believed that if Lei Yu didn't know the inside story and saw this different letter, which was obviously inappropriate, he should understand that something was wrong, and he would go to see Lei if he didn't understand. Encourage.

Now only a ninth-rank boss like Lei Li can give Yu Ziqing a sense of security.

It is safest to ask Lei Li to take these things away.

Thinking about the last time, Lei Yu was prodded and grabbed Wu Shuangge, if he could have used Hunyuan Jindou, he might have rushed in already.

And if a large amount of condensed filth and toxins from the Hunyuan Jindou were used to wash away those metal pages, the consequences would be completely predictable.

So Yu Ziqing felt that this matter was not over at all, and someone must be doing something behind it.

If there is no one, he would dare to twist his head off and kick it like a ball!

The special jade slip that Lei Yu gave him turned into a ray of lightning and rushed into the sky. A tiny ray of lightning jumped in the clouds and flew towards the big earthquake at high speed.

A day later, just as the tiny thunderbolt was about to reach its destination.

In the clouds in the sky, a hand suddenly stretched out and grabbed the thunder light.

The person hiding in the clouds looked at the content of the jade slip and put it away casually.

An hour later, in a forest, a hooded face, a white water egg with no facial features and no hair, slowly emerged.

A person on the opposite side threw a jade slip to him.

"Huh? What does this mean? Is the relationship between Qing Ziyu and Lei Yu already so good?"

"Basically, one of them is more polite than the other, and one is more generous than the other. Lei Yu and his brothers have never had such a good time." The visitor replied casually.

"I mean, is the relationship between Jin Lanshan and Lei's so good? After a birthday, can you invite that one?"

"I don't know about that. That guy has always been reckless. He just rushed to the Faceless Man's residence a few days ago and beat him up. The Emperor Zhen has to give him something to kill two people and appease Lei Shi."

Bai Shuidan knew that he was the one who provoked this incident, and that the Faceless Man was responsible for taking the blame for him, and that plan was for nothing.

When he returned to the Faceless Man's station, he also went through a review to confirm that he had a mission and needed to pass by, so he didn't make things difficult for him.

The leader of the Faceless Man is only good at this, he won't casually blame his own people, and if he wants to vent his anger, he is looking for outsiders.

If this matter was left to Dali, and the shadow department's spies provoked such a thing, and the first one was beaten, then the first one didn't need to take action, and the people below would take off his skin to apologize.

Bai Shuidan was a little surprised by Lei Li's actions, but he wasn't too surprised when he thought about it. Lei Li has always been like this. If it doesn't make sense, I hold back and keep silent. If it makes sense, I will make a fuss.

Emperor Zhen could bear it, and in turn appeased him, this accounted for a large part of the reason.

Bai Shuidan looked at the jade slip in his hand, and pondered for a while.

"Look for an opportunity to see if you can find what we want from the things Lei Yu brought back."

"I don't have much chance. He is the young master after all. He can only give it to him on his own initiative. If no one asks for it, how do you deal with the jade slip?"

"I don't think it's right, I can't take risks." As he said, Bai Shuidan crushed the jade slip.

"As you like."

The visitor turned and left, Bai Shuidan glanced in the direction of the wasteland, and gave another order.

"Notify the people below that any flying boats flying from the wasteland should report as soon as possible, and if necessary, sink them at any cost."

The figures of the two disappeared in place at the same time.

On the other side, Lei Yu was also sorting out the rubbish.

He didn't want to do these things at first, but this was the homework assigned to him by his teacher.

Those fragments are of various types, almost synonymous with history, and are of great help in broadening one's horizon.

Soon, he also sorted out some things, including some metal pages.

On many metal pages, there are monsters all over the place, and there are also some eerie scenes.

There is also a pure black metal page, which is the back of a thin person.

When Lei Yu cleaned up and saw the back again, he seemed to have hallucinations. He saw this thin back, which was constantly enlarged in front of his eyes. It was just a back, and the oppressive feeling brought to him was like In the face of the angry Li Zu.

In the blink of an eye, everything Lei Yu saw returned to normal.

His expression froze, and he immediately took out a cloth bag to wrap the metal page.

Then he found the remaining metal pages and went straight to Mount Jilei.

"Li Zu, please take a look at these. I brought them out from the cave of mourning. I feel that something is wrong. It's a bit like a mural at home."

"Mural?" Lei Li didn't remember it for a while.

"That is, there is a sealed item in the house, which is a mural, and the demon soul of a big demon is sealed inside, did Li Zu forget?"

"Oh, now that I think about it, is that the demon soul that can't be killed anyway?"

Lei Yu laid out the metal book pages one by one.

It's okay to see those metal pages full of evil spirits. When I saw the page in the back, dense runes and dao patterns immediately appeared on that page.

Stacked layer upon layer, enveloping the entire page.

Lei Li immediately closed his eyes.

"Put that pair away."

Lei Yu put the page back into the cloth bag, and Lei Li opened his eyes.

His strength is too strong, just by looking at it, the figure from behind on that metal page has already sensed his peeping and reacted.

"It's just a sealed item. These are all sealed items, and these pages are still a whole."

When Lei Yu heard this, his face sank slightly.

"I didn't see any problems at all before. After cleaning up, I found something wrong. At that time, these metal book pages were mixed with a pile of garbage.

Some of the metal pages should have been mixed into another pile of garbage and given to Brother Qing.

I don't know if brother Qing found the problem. "

Lei Li's face was as sinking as water, and his eyes flickered with lightning.

That sealed figure's strength is definitely at the same level as his.

"How did you find out about that mourning hole?"

"While tracking down a snow demon, I accidentally discovered that there is an entrance to the cave in that cave."

"I'm asking, how do you know that it's called mourning?"

"It was found in the Mountain of Sorrows, so it was named the Cave of Sorrows." After Lei Yu said this, he pondered for a while, and felt something was wrong, so he immediately changed his words.

"Li Zu, I don't know why I know it's a hole of grief."

"Has no one ever found out before?"

"I've never heard of a cave there, or even a cave there. It was speculated that the cave surfaced because of the earthquake a few months ago." Lei Yu's face became more and more ugly .

He also thought that he was poked and arrested by Prince Huai's son because he discovered the Cave of Sorrow.

What is not clear now is that the beginning of this round was before he caught Wu Shuangge.

The real purpose of urging him to take Wu Shuangge away was not to stop Wu Shuangge from saving Qing Ziyu, but to break through the protection of the Cave of Sorrow.

It is more likely to break the seal of the sealed item.

"Hey, that's interesting. I borrowed my strength from Lei's head. I'm not so courageous."

Lei Li stood up.

"You send a letter to that Qing Ziyu, saying that I have heard you praised him many times, and now I am interested and want to meet him."

"Also, take these things away, don't do anything, just wait."

"Grandson understands."

Lei Yu retreated to Jilei Mountain, Lei Li sat down again and closed his eyes.

A moment later, a trace of thunder surged from his body and submerged into the Thunder Mountain below him.

At the foot of Jilei Mountain, thunder light surged, and an old man with gray hair and a goatee walked out of the thunder light.

With a flash of divine light all over him, it turned into a ray of light and disappeared.

After a stick of incense, there was a great earthquake in the palace.

The old man with the goatee quietly appeared in a side hall.

After a while, Emperor Zhen came to the side hall alone.

After seeing the old man, Emperor Zhen frowned slightly.

"What is so important that you secretly use an avatar to meet me?"

Lei Li has an incarnation, apart from Emperor Zhen, no one knows about it.

Even if Lei Li didn't say anything, even Zhen Huang wouldn't have thought that Lei Li's kind of slap in the face would have to break down the door of your house first, and slap you hard in front of your subordinates. When doing something, I will quietly use the avatar.

The old man had a cold face and sneered.

"Someone borrowed power from me, Lei Shi, then I can't bear it anymore."

"What happened before? I've already killed several people to vent my anger on you, why are you still using an avatar..."

Zhenhuang smiled wryly, and naturally thought of what happened before.

It's just that before he finished speaking, he restrained his smile and asked.

"Anything else?"

"It's so sad, don't say you don't know."

"I know, but there is actually nothing there. Your family, Lei Yu, hasn't checked it already?"

"He brought out some sealed items, metal pages, scattered."

"impossible."

Zhenhuang categorically denied it.

"The sealed item has been brought back by the people from the Lihuo Academy. They paid the price for the fall of the two ascetics, and they made it clear that they must take it back and seal it."

The old man just looked at him quietly without saying a word.

Zhen Huang also fell silent, he understood that something must have gone wrong.

After a moment of silence, he continued.

"Back then, a major incident happened in the Cave of Sorrows, and it was the prince who led the way and reached a cooperation with the Dali Lihuo Institute and the Shadow Department.

The three parties entered the Cave of Sorrows together, and they sealed the entire Cave of Sorrows together. What is left now is just an empty shell.

So, I know that Lei Yu went to explore the Cave of Sorrows, and I didn't ask about it. There is no danger there. "

As Zhenhuang spoke, murderous intent began to appear in his eyes.

"Furthermore, the crown prince of Zhen, not long after he started the war with King Xiang, he already...gone."

Lei Li was shocked, the prince has already fallen?

when?
He didn't know at all.

There is even no news from the outside world. A month ago, the prince made an appearance in public.

How could it have fallen?
But Zhen Huang himself said such words, there is absolutely no possibility of them being false.

None of them knew, there was only one possibility, Emperor Zhen himself acted, suppressed the movement in the country, and covered up the news.

Lei Li's thoughts turned quickly, and all these things were connected in an instant. All the things seemed to be connected with each other.

One thing, going round and round involved many people.

Even now, the fall of the prince may be involved.

Lei Li talked secretly with Zhenhuang for a long time before his incarnation quietly left the palace.

Zhen Huang sat there, closed his eyes, a trace of grief appeared on his face.

Although the centralization of the Great Earthquake is not that high, the royal family is relatively harmonious.

He is also very satisfied with the prince, whether it is ability or character.

But before, it suddenly fell away.

At that time, he felt that something was wrong, and immediately suppressed the shock of the national fortune to prevent outsiders from knowing the news.

He knew why King Xiang rebelled, and King Xiang knew it himself.

So no matter how hard he fought, King Xiang would not kill the prince, making himself irreversible.

This year, since the death of King Huai, the large tracts of cultivated land and pastures left behind took in a large number of civilians who could not survive, Emperor Zhen and King Xiang began tacitly trying to slow down the intensity of the war.

As they thought, the intensity of the war has decreased, and there are no more large-scale conflicts.

At this time, Emperor Zhen's rationality had already told him that the prince's downfall might have nothing to do with King Xiang.

King Xiang also understood that Emperor Zhen might really believe that the prince was not killed by him.

The communication between the two has been completed.

Now, after hearing what Lei Li said, Zhenhuang completely believed in his rational judgment, and he felt that it was time.

It's time to talk to King Xiang in person.

Emperor Zhen came to the ancestral hall and looked at the tablets for a long time alone.

After a long time, he walked to the back of the ancestral hall, where there was also a living shrine.

The people on the tablets are all from the royal family, all those who are eligible to be included in the genealogy and have titles.

Among them was King Xiang.

Emperor Zhen personally lit a special incense stick and inserted it into the incense burner.

The strange beasts on both sides of the incense burner suddenly came to life, puffing and puffing light smoke continuously, and turned into a ball on the incense burner.

After a long time, the cloud of light smoke kept changing its appearance, turning into a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man looked at Emperor Zhen, was silent for a moment, and bowed his hands.

"Meet Your Majesty."

"You still don't want to call me second uncle?"

King Xiang was silent for a while, and saluted again.

"I met my second uncle."

"Have we not seen each other for a long time?"

"Two thousand and eighty years."

"I have a question, I want you to answer me yourself."

"Second uncle wants to ask, did I kill the prince?"

"Yes, did you kill the prince?"

"I said no, I know that the prince's fall may be later than you, second uncle, do you believe it?"

"I didn't want to believe it, I didn't dare to believe it, and I didn't want to believe it before, but now, my reason tells me that I should believe it."

"Second uncle summoned me, didn't he just say these things?"

"I want to ask you if someone told you that there is a way to save your father."

King Xiang's eyes changed slightly, and he nodded happily.

"That's right, someone told me that. I also want to save my father, but I never thought of killing the prince, and I didn't kill the prince."

Speaking of this, King Xiang's expression was a bit complicated.

"When the prince was young, he knew that you and I had a bad relationship, but he still dared to come to me alone to visit my cousin.

He is wholeheartedly for the good of Da Zhen, and he wants you and me to get back together.

Even after being assassinated twice, he also firmly said that it has absolutely nothing to do with my cousin.

I watched him grow up, no matter how big my opinion on you is, I won't have the heart to hurt him.

Even if I have already begun to rebel, he is willing to kiss the front line and come to talk to me in person.

But if I tell you, I don't even know how the prince died. I haven't found out yet, would you believe me?

My second uncle, my Zhen Huang. "

Emperor Zhen felt sore in his heart, and the grief was uncontrollable.

These princes didn't tell him anything, but at that time they took the initiative to invite Ying, Zhenhuang thought that the prince knew the overall situation.

Unexpectedly, the prince just wanted to persuade King Xiang not to meet each other in battle.

After a while, Emperor Zhen opened his eyes.

"You have a problem with me, that's what you should be.

But now, there are some things that I need you to know.

I don't care what you think, whether or not you're involved in these things.

But I just want you to cooperate and find the person who killed the prince.

Now that the crown prince has passed away, it is reasonable and justifiable for you to succeed to the throne.

As long as the prince can rest in peace, I will issue an edict now, and it is fine to make you the prince. "

Hearing this, King Xiang was slightly moved, and curled his lips in disdain.

"Second Uncle, you are Emperor Zhenhuang now, you are only making jokes because of your emotions.

Besides, who cares about you setting up a prince, if I want it, I will get it myself. "

Speaking of this, King Xiang paused for a moment before leaving a word.

"Everything I do has nothing to do with you. I just don't want my cousin to die without knowing why!"

As soon as the words fell, King Xiang's figure turned into light smoke and scattered in all directions.

Emperor Zhen stared blankly at the drifting light smoke, then at the crown prince's tablet still placed in the Shengci Temple, and remained silent for a long time.

After a long time, he gently removed the crown prince's tablet and stroked the tablet, as if stroking the crown prince's head.

He took the tablet to the front hall, and after hesitating for a long time, he placed it there.

Then, he took out the Chuanguo Yuxi and let go of the suppression.

All of a sudden, the national fortunes of the country were shaken.

In the bell tower of the ancestral temple, the death knell that had not sounded for a long time, rang automatically, and the deep bell began to spread throughout the entire land of the earthquake.
