On their wedding night, she burned down the Prince Regent's palace.

Chapter 26 The plot behind the scenes is huge

"This... I dare to ask Master, what kind of monster is Nightmare?"

The Yun family had been civil servants for generations and had never dealt with such evil things. They didn't know it was normal.

"The nightmare has no original body, because it did not have a demon body through cultivation, but was born naturally under a certain environment by gathering strong spiritual power in the world."

"It can absorb human emotions, and therefore can control the human spirit, such as stimulating people's negative emotions in the form of dreams, which can be used as nutrients for cultivation."

This is the reason why Mrs. Yun has been having nightmares recently. It's all the work of this nightmare hidden in the general's mansion.

Yun Qi couldn't help but wonder: "But why did we attract such a monster to our house? What was the moon worship ceremony that was tampered with?"

Ye Zhiyu began to patiently explain the principles to the mother and son.

"The Nightmare has no ability to reproduce. It is a natural formation of heaven and earth. The conditions required are extremely harsh. Only a few of them have been produced in thousands of years."

This is indeed unlucky for the Yun family. Perhaps the location chosen for their house has very good feng shui, and it is a blessed place that can condense the aura of heaven and earth.

It just formed an environment suitable for the birth of Nightmare.

"Someone must have discovered a nascent Nightmare in General Zhenxi's Mansion, so he deliberately set up such a plan."

With that said, the cronies sent out by Yun Qi to investigate the tributes also came back.

"Report to the general, my subordinates brought my wife's tribute that day, and during the investigation, I discovered that an incense burner was missing from the warehouse in my wife's yard. This incense burner was also an object placed on the altar during the moon worship. , my subordinates did not dare to delay and quickly went to find the whereabouts of the incense burner."

Yun Qi frowned when he heard this.

"Where did the incense burner go?"

"General, my subordinates secretly found the incense burner hidden by the maid Xiaowan in her room. It's here."

After speaking, the confidant bowed and presented an incense burner to Yun Qi.

Oh?
From this point of view, this is actually a person who has gained both the stolen goods and the stolen goods.

Ye Zhiyu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

The facts are [-]/[-] inseparable, but after all, when doing things outside, we must pay attention to a reasonable basis.

"Mrs. Yun, please restore the position of the objects when you worshiped the moon on that day, and the approximate position of the moon when you worshiped."

After hearing this, Mrs. Yun quickly followed the instructions and quickly restored the details of worshiping the moon on that day.

Ye Zhiyu came to the table, glanced down at the dazzling array of tributes on the table, and his eyes darkened.

"It's the spirit sacrifice array."

These tributes may seem ordinary, but their arrangement matches the position of the moon and the time of night.

Perfectly forming a spiritual sacrifice formation.

And the key to this formation is...

Thinking of this, Ye Zhiyu quickly picked up the incense burner and looked at it carefully.

"look at this."

Ye Zhiyu wiped his fingers on the bottom of the incense burner, and his hands were stained with a layer of black ash.

"I have been working with incense ashes all year round, and I can basically tell what kind of incense it is through the ashes."

Under the breathless gazes of Yun Qi and Mrs. Yun, Ye Zhiyu rubbed the dust on his fingertips and sneered.

"However, this is obviously not the ashes produced after burning incense, but the appearance of burned human hair. The maid Xiaowan must have secretly collected Mrs. Yun's hair on weekdays and mixed it into the incense ashes."

"That's right, this is the key to completing the entire spirit sacrifice array."

After Ye Zhiyu finished speaking, he put down the incense burner with a cold expression and continued.

"A demon like Nightmare is very special. It has a very bad reputation in the demon world, and even other demons find it taboo."

"This is all because the Nightmare Demon has no entity at all. They must parasitize other hosts to be considered a real demon." "And this spirit sacrifice array is equivalent to Mrs. Yun taking the initiative to serve as the host for the Nightmare Demon..."

"What a vicious heart!"

Mrs. Yun had tears in her eyes and her whole body was shaking with fear.

"If this continues, I will turn into a monster."

Yun Qi also clenched his fist tightly.

"So I said, the person behind this matter is really unfathomable, and what he is planning is too big..."

Ye Zhiyu rarely showed such a solemn expression. Before coming to the General's Mansion, she did not expect that this matter would actually involve a nightmare.

"Having the ability to detect the location where the Nightmare is born, and being able to take advantage of it, set up this long-lost spirit sacrificial array, and use Mrs. Yun to sacrifice to induce the birth of the Nightmare..."

"This person wants to deal with just one of your Yun family. I'm afraid he also wants to raise this new-born nightmare that has not yet opened its spiritual consciousness, so that he can do more things. It's really a terrible intention."

There is another point, Ye Zhiyu didn't say it directly, but she actually guessed it.

The Yun family is now Feng Wuming's best sword.

The person who designed this situation is so cruel and ruthless, I am afraid that in the final analysis, he is targeting Feng Wuming.

With the ability to do such a thing without anyone noticing, it's hard to imagine how many other tactics they had prepared to deal with the Regent Party.

Hearing this, Yun Qi's whole body became cold, and he gritted his back molars tightly.

"This is a serious matter. I will report this matter to the prince. It is necessary to find out the identity of the person behind this."

Yun Qi was furious and growled and ordered his cronies: "Come here, control all the people in Madam's courtyard, especially the maid Xiaowan. I want to interrogate them personally!"

The confidant quickly obeyed the order, but just as he stood up and prepared to take action, a miserable scream suddenly came from outside the door.

“Someone is coming—Sister Xiaowan committed suicide!”

Ye Zhiyu and Yun Qi looked at each other, a cold light flashing in their eyes.

When they rushed out to check the situation, they were faced with Xiaowan's body that had been fished out of the lake.

"No one moves! Let me do the autopsy!"

The situation was urgent and Ye Zhiyu had no time to explain.

Many maids gathered around the corpse and cried, feeling very strange when they saw Ye Zhiyu suddenly appeared.

The general responsible for pulling up the body was also slightly stunned.

He looked at Ye Zhiyu from head to toe, with a look of disdain on his face.

Where did this village girl come from?

Is she going to do an autopsy like this?
"What are you doing? Don't cause trouble, I've already sent someone to ask for help!"

The general raised his hand to stop Ye Zhiyu.

Yun Qi followed behind, and he didn't expect Ye Zhiyu to do an autopsy.

Now he was really curious, where did the prince invite her from, and what else could this person not know?
"Stop! Let her go and let her test!"

Yun Qi immediately stopped the generals who blocked the road.

"Why don't you apologize quickly? These are the prince's people!"

When the general heard this, his expression immediately changed, and he quickly apologized to Ye Zhiyu.

"I'm sorry! It turns out that the girl is Master Wang. Please don't blame me!"

Ye Zhiyu was not in the mood to worry about this. He waved his hands indifferently and squatted down to observe Xiaowan's body.
