Volume 4: Holy Capital Tribulation Chapter 246: Heavenly Tribulation or Human Tribulation?
In an instant, all the previous scenes flashed through his mind, and Xu Zun suddenly woke up.
In the underground palace of Qinglan Temple, there were so many crazy girls, especially the little girl with Hong Gu, who stabbed me with swords without saying anything when she saw me...
In the prison of Shangyuan City South Prison, Li Jinlou was framed by himself and Ani, and became extremely angry and wanted to kill someone...
Now that they have arrived in the Holy Capital, the Minister of Works Ying Rang, the Minister of Water Resources Cao Ding, the Minister of Personnel Yan Hai, the Imperial Physician Xu Chi, the Holy Capital Transport Commissioner, the Duke of Liang Xue Guihua, the Duke of Lushan Li Ren...
These assassinated people flashed through his mind one by one, and were marked with huge question marks one by one...
Thinking back to that sleepless night, Ani brought herself a bowl of medicinal soup...
"Sir..." Seeing Xu Zun's mad and surprised look, Ani asked worriedly, "What's wrong with you?"
"Ani!" Xu Zun grabbed Ani's hand excitedly and asked, "You made me a bowl of medicinal soup before. Why are you so familiar with medicinal herbs?"
"This..." Ani replied timidly, "Didn't I tell you? This is what the Taoist Xuanmen taught me."
"The one from Yuanzhou?" Xu Zun asked with wide eyes.
Ani nodded.
"When we were in Shangyuan City," Xu Zun asked again, "you hid a lot of pills on the beams of the temple. Where did those pills come from?"
"Sir," Ani thought Xu Zun was questioning her, and immediately explained with a red face, "I have told you all of this!
"I brought it from Yuanzhou. I want to give it to Shangyuan Daozun. Oh no, I want to give it to Lu Jinlong?
"You...you know that we used those pills to frame that old pervert, didn't we?"
"Is that the only box?"
"No," Ani replied, "I sent a whole box, and I always sent a few extra boxes each time. That one box is the leftover."
"Do you know the effects of those medicines and their ingredients?"
"Of course I know the effects, but the ingredients are top secret," Ani shook her head, "Of course I don't know, why are you asking?"
"Those medicines were made by Daoist Master Yuanzhou?"
"That should be the case! He is very knowledgeable about pharmacology. If his men make a mistake, he will make them take a pill that is worse than death..." Ani noticed a slight tremor on Xu Zun's face and immediately realized that the situation was not good. "Why... Sir, do you think that those medicines..."
"I remember," Xu Zun asked, "there were four colors of pills in the box, and you asked me to take the white one, so..."
Before Xu Zun finished asking, Ani already understood what he meant and quickly answered truthfully: “That happens to be a set of pills that control a person’s mind.
"White makes people crazy, black makes people drowsy, blue makes people obedient, and finally red can be used to completely control them.
"But..." Ani said, "This is a long process, and it also requires some spells and the like."
Spell...
Xu Zun thought that it should be some kind of psychological suggestion in psychology.
"Lu Xiaofeng has only reached the stage of taking the black pill," Ani said, "so he has become confused and knows nothing."
"And what Li Jinlou eats is white..." Xu Zun muttered nervously, "It seems that just using this white food is enough, right?"
"Oh?" Ani was puzzled, "Enough for what?"
"Ani," Xu Zun grabbed Ani's shoulders and asked, "How much of this medicine did the Yuanzhou Daozun make? Can it be mass-produced ?"
"Mass...production!?" Ani was half-understood. "Is it mass production? I don't know. It's all secrets of Xuanmen. You will be punished if you try to find out!"
broken!
Xu Zun finally realized that Xuanmen’s natural calamity might actually be a human calamity!
What if what they were secretly transporting was not explosives, but pills like this?
The Holy Capital Transport Envoy and the Imperial Physician Xu Chi, these two names jumped out and became extremely harsh.
Could this be Xuanmen’s real plan?
Thinking of this, Xu Zun became very anxious. He hurriedly pulled Ani and shouted to Ku Niang, "Let's go! Let's go back quickly!"
"Go... go back..." Ani was surprised. "Where to go? What should we do here? What if Zhao Yu comes back and we don't see him?"
"It doesn't matter," Xu Zun pointed his finger above his head, "There's someone up there, just one person will come down."
Because there is a hanging ladder above the ditch, a few people have to be left to guard it. Otherwise, if something happens, no one will be able to go up!
Soon, Xu Zun and the other two climbed up the ditch and asked the constable who was guarding above to go down and stand guard to report the news.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Zun and the other two hurriedly returned along the route they had taken.
Leaving marks along the way, the three quickly found the narrow passage they came from and prepared to return to the ground.
However, when the three finally reached the end , they were horrified to find that the man who had come before them, Songkou, had disappeared!!!
"Ah!?" Xu Zun was horrified and his mood immediately fell to the bottom.
"What...what's going on?" Ani didn't understand at first and thought they had taken the wrong road. "Where's the exit?!"
Rustle...rustle...
As the soil continued to slide down, she finally came to her senses and immediately shouted in horror: "They...they buried the entrance to the cave? Hey...are you crazy!?"
She yelled from above, but there was no response except for the constant falling of clods of earth.
Looking sideways, I saw that the entire entrance was blocked!
oh……
In an instant, Xu Zun felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.
I don’t care about anything else, but Huo Anu is on top!
There was no doubt that they had been attacked from above and the enemy had covered the entrance to the cave, preventing Xu Zun and the others from getting out.
More importantly, how did the enemy know that they were in Daye General Temple?
It was obvious that there was a traitor on top, and someone passed the message to the enemy, which led to the cave entrance being buried.
The ghost...the ghost...
When thinking of this term, the first name that came to Xu Zun's mind was only one - Oriental Charm!
She was the first one to suggest checking out the Daye General Temple!
More than half of the people who came to the scene today were from their Shenbu Division.
Plus, she and Tie Jing were attacked before, Tie Jing was killed, but she was only injured...
However, Xu Zun had already checked Dongfang Yaorao's background through the Zuowei Mansion. Not only was her family a prominent family, but her father and Empress Dowager Lin were also childhood friends.
Empress Dowager Lin also trusted Dongfang Yaorao very much and often invited her to the palace to accompany her.
If not, Lin Chaofeng would not have recommended her to Xu Zun with confidence.
If it wasn't her, then was there something wrong within the Shenbu Division?
Damn it!
Thinking of this, Xu Zun was undoubtedly more worried about Huo Anu's safety, and wondered how she was doing now.
"Anu, Sister Anu..." It was obvious that Ani had also thought of this and was very worried.
Xu Zun turned around to look at Ku Niang, but saw that Ku Niang still had no reaction, and there was no fluctuation under her veil.
"Sir," Ani asked, pulling Xu Zun's arm , "What should we do now? We won't be unable to get out forever, right?"
The dark and narrow passage was already depressing and suffocating, and now seeing the entrance blocked, it was extremely terrifying.
"No," Xu Zun said, "After discovering the entrance, I have sent someone to deliver the message to the Inner Guard. I believe they will find this place soon.
"It's just that..." Xu Zun frowned, "I'm afraid that by the time we get out, it will be too late..."
