If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 405 Acting
Zhao Zhen's eyes flashed, and he neither admitted nor denied it. He just asked, "What else did your ghost son say?"

Xiao Yu said: "The tomb robber stole Jiang Xiaobai's treasure and was chased by Jiang Xiaobai. He fled from the underworld of Shangbang in China to the underworld of Xisha.

When he was really desperate, the tomb robber took out all the treasures on his body and bribed the ghost in the underworld in exchange for a chance of reincarnation.

My ghost son is of low status and was only given a bell made by Jiang Xiaobai.

Today, I heard Master Zhao telling stories, and I have some guesses."

Zhao Zhen said with emotion: "I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. That's right, my Seven Arrows Book came from the Qin traitor Song Zhou."

"The Great Qin Traitor" Xiao Yu asked curiously, "Is Song Zhou not an ordinary tomb robber?"

"Can an ordinary tomb robber dig up the tombs of King Huan of Qi? And travel thousands of miles from southern China to the Xisha region?" Zhao Zhen said.

Xiao Yu asked, "What secrets are there? Master Zhao, can you please tell me?"

Seeing that the guests were all looking at him eagerly, Zhao Zhen hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not a secret, but after you hear it, don't spread it."

In fact, what he wanted to say was truly a secret of the Qin Dynasty.

However, the fact that he obtained the Seven Arrows Book had already been known to certain ghosts and gods in the Liusha Region, and the Li family was also well aware of it.

Now that we have to perform in public, there is no need to hide it anymore.

As long as it doesn't become known to everyone, he can handle this matter.

"Master Zhao, don't worry, we all know how powerful we are." Everyone made promises.

Zhao Zhen said: "In the past two years, the four continents have been somewhat uneasy.

You caused the Thirty-Six Kingdoms Rebellion in the Xisha Region.

There are also dangers from Xianjie within our Great Qin.

Upon learning of the emperor's death, refugees from Qi and Lu, including Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, gathered hundreds of people and fled to Daze Township to become bandits.

——Oh, it turns out that Chen Sheng and Wu Guang have already appeared. It seems that the Qin Dynasty is really in danger.

Xiao Yu sighed in his heart, but still looked like he was listening attentively, without correcting Zhao Zhen's idea that "Chen Sheng and Wu Guang are not a threat to Xianjie".

Zhao Zhen continued: "Chen Sheng had a gang of thieves named 'Song Liu'.

Song Liu might have some connection with the former Master Song and know the secrets of "Master Song's relics".

In order to fight against the army sent by the county to suppress the bandits, Song Liu dispatched his brother Song Zhou, whose spirit left his body and quietly sneaked into Jiang Xiaobai's paradise in the underworld and stole a number of treasures including the Seven Arrows Book.

Even the numerous gold, silver and treasures were looted.

Those thieves are robbers and bandits.

As a result, the noise made by Song Zhou was so loud that it alarmed King Qi Huangong Jiang Xiaobai, who lived in a nearby blessed land.

Afterwards, Jiang Xiaobai sent his warriors to hunt down Song Zhou, who fled everywhere.

The immortal's soul needs to return to the physical body within seven days, and the Yin spirit of an ordinary Qi cultivator can only last three days at most.

Song Zhou was unable to return to his physical body within three days and was transformed directly from a Yin spirit into a Yin ghost. "

"Even among the bandits there are immortal masters who have trained to become Yin Gods. China is worthy of being the superior country." A "immortal master" who has not yet trained to become Yin God said with emotion.

"What's a Yin God?" Zhao Zhen glanced at He Xuan subconsciously, "Many world-famous True Immortals and Sword Immortals are still serving in my Great Qin Army."

He Xuan’s sword master, Chongda, is a general.

"Alas, here we have, let alone real immortals, even human immortals joining the army are very rare." Li Rongji said with envy.

If there were true immortals working for the imperial court, would his Li family still have to worry about demonic infestations?
As the crown prince, does he need to endure Yu Fengxian's rudeness and disrespect for the sake of the greater good?
If there were true immortals serving him, he would definitely strive for immortality and would not bother being a prince.

Xiao Yu coughed lightly and said, "Master Zhao, please continue. What happens after Song Zhou becomes a ghost?"

Zhao Zhen said: "Death became a ghost, and Song Zhou had no scruples at all, running around everywhere, and somehow he escaped to the Quicksand Region.

I suspect he gave away some of the treasures along the way.

However, when he saw that the situation was not good, he made a prompt decision, took out all his treasures to bribe the ghost messenger in the underworld, and was taken away directly.

Neither I nor King Qi Huan's men had time to interrogate them."

Xiao Yu asked curiously, "Could it be that Master Zhao is the imperial envoy of the upper state?"

Anyone who can ask the ghosts in the underworld for interrogation must not be an ordinary person.

"He is not an imperial envoy, but just a Sima Ling sent by the Qin Dynasty to the Xisha Region."

Zhao Zhen glanced at her and said, "I heard that in ten years, you will serve as Lord Dongfang's attendant?

I don't think Lord Dongfang will keep you by his side, but will send you out to inquire about the local people's sentiments on behalf of your superiors.

By then, you will most likely be under the command of a Sima Ling."

The Sima Ling of the Qin Dynasty, the Da Shui Zu (Da Shui He) of the Han Dynasty, the Bad People of the Tang Dynasty, the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty, and the Lianganchu (Blood Guillotine) of the Qing Dynasty. It cannot be said that they mean exactly the same thing, the difference is actually quite big, but it is definitely true that they are passed down from the same lineage.

Xiaoyu looked at Zhao Zhen and He Xuan, then at Li Rongji, feeling speechless.

The two Sima Lings not only revealed their identities directly, but also served as Li Rongji's guests. What the hell is this?
Zhao Zhen seemed to understand her look and said meaningfully: "Our mission is Xisha Territory, not Xishu. Xishu is a vassal that Daqin will always trust."

Li Rongji also laughed and said, "If Xiao Fengxian had been to Luodu, she wouldn't have such doubts."

"What happened to Luo?" Xiaoyu asked.

"Everyone in Luodu knows that Lord Sun, the Shaofu, is from the Qin Dynasty and is an old acquaintance of the king's palace," said Li Rongji.

"Shaofu" is one of the Nine Ministers, in charge of the royal family's finances. Not only is he in a high position with power and great trust from the monarch, but he is also in a lucrative position with a lot of money.

If he ascended the throne and became king, Zhao Zhen might follow the old system and become one of the Nine Ministers. He hoped so.

But Zhao Zhen and He Xuan both have unusual backgrounds. They probably came here to gild their reputations - to take credit for quelling the rebellion of the Thirty-Six Kingdoms. They will not stay in the Xisha region for too long.

Thinking of this, Li Rongji showed a little regret on his face.

——As the Sima Ling of the Qin Dynasty, responsible for supervising the Xisha region, he has been hiding in Xishu. Does this make sense?

Xiao Yu muttered in his heart, but he didn't dwell on this trivial matter that had nothing to do with him. He just wondered, "With Lord Zhao's status, for the bandit problem in Daqin, he brought the ghost of Song Zhou to trial. Would the judge of the underworld dare not give him face?"

Zhao Zhen's eyes were grim, and he said, "I have always stayed in Xishu and never participated in the hunt for Song Zhou.

If we hadn't encountered a series of strange things, how could we have concluded that Song Zhou had given away some of the treasures halfway?"

"How dare they?!" Xiao Yu said angrily, "Master Zhao, report this to the court immediately and ask the court to reprimand the judge of the underworld who committed the crime."

Zhao Zhen's tone was slightly impatient, "Do I need you to teach me this kind of thing?"

Xiao Yu asked, "It's been almost a month since my ghost gave me the jade bell. Has there been any news from the court?"

Zhao Zhen's face was gloomy and he remained silent. The Red Leaf Sword Immortal He Xuan beside him also drank without saying a word.

——Alas, it seems that the divine mace master has not come to find me yet, and it is not intentional delay, and the Xianyang court is not targeting me. After the death of Emperor Ying Zheng, the court was really in chaos, and people's hearts were almost scattered, and no one was doing things seriously.

Xiaoyu didn't know whether to be relieved or worried.

The Qin court did not intentionally ignore her.

But in just half a year, Daqin has become so rotten. Can it still be her temporary support?
Her seeking of shelter and arrangements was an urgent matter for herself, but it was not important to Daqin, which did not need to be in a hurry.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, Song Liu and Song Zhou, are planning to rebel against the Qin Dynasty!
It also involves the relics of Song Tianshi. It is very likely that the Seven Arrows Book is not even the most important one among the relics.

The Qin court is still procrastinating. It has been a month, and there is no news or arrangements.

Most likely Song and Zhou had already been reincarnated.

The evidence was completely destroyed and there is no way to trace it.

Getting on board the Qin's shabby ship at this time was like joining the National Army in 49!
But she had already leaned most of her body forward.

Both of them were silent, and no one else spoke either, until the third watch.

"We have to move somewhere else."

Zhao Zhen stood up, looked around and said, "The Seven Arrows Book is not an ordinary nightmare spell. It requires an open area with a clear view of the sky, the earth and the stars.

But it cannot be too noisy, and it must avoid people, animals, ghosts and gods."

As he led everyone to the backyard, he explained the special features of the Seven Arrows Book.

After a short while, they walked through the corridor and the courtyard and came to a newly built altar.

The altar was built with five-colored soil, with a total of nine floors, 13 feet high, and covering a large area. It was surrounded by a circle of walls built with reeds and bamboo strips to block direct peeping from people outside.

Xiaoyu looked around and found that although the altar was not luxurious, it revealed an ancient and wild atmosphere everywhere.

When she came to the altar, she felt a shadow in her heart and felt a little depressed and irritated.

"This shouldn't be Master Zhao's first day of practicing the Seven Arrows Book, right?" Xiao Yu asked Li Rongji beside him in a low voice.

Zhao Zhen had already changed into a Taoist robe and stepped onto the altar.

The rest of the people stood below and watched.

"How can the ancient secret method be mastered in one day? Today is the first time I will officially use it after the magic skill is perfected." Li Rongji said.

He Xuan helped carry a bundle of newly harvested rice straw to the altar.

The rice straw was yellowish-orange and messy, obviously not trimmed in advance.

Zhao Zhen didn't mind. He first rolled the straw into a rope as thick as his little finger, and then used the rope to tie the remaining straw into a scarecrow.

It has a head, a torso and limbs.

But the specific shape cannot be seen.

"Bring the monk's old clothes here." Zhao Zhen shouted.

Servants and maids were not allowed to enter this place at all, so He Xuan had to help pass it on.

He was holding a red lacquered wooden tray with a gray-brown linen garment inside.

It doesn't look like a monk's robe.

Zhao Zhen picked up the linen clothes and put them on the scarecrow.

"Bring another strand of the monk's hair here." Zhao Zhen said again.

Well, taking a lock of hair from a monk sounds a bit absurd.

But in this era, many of the monks Xiaoyu met were not bald.

In fact, it is impossible for a monk to be bald forever.

Everyone has hair. Monks just shave their hair, not plucking out all the hair follicles.

He Xuan did not leave. He took out a small cloth bag the size of a palm from his pocket and handed it to Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen opened the small cloth bag and took a look. Without pouring out the hair inside, he stuffed it directly into the scarecrow's head.

Xiao Yu asked in confusion: "The Seven Arrows Book requires the enemy's clothes and hair? Can a Golden Immortal lose his hair and change his clothes?"

Zhao Zhen on the altar looked down at them and said calmly: "Lu Ya Daojun's Seven Arrows Book of Nail Head certainly does not need clothes, hair or nails as primers.

All you need to do is to know the name, write it on a piece of paper and stick it on the chest of the straw man. "

This is one of the most terrifying things about the Seven Arrows Book. The conditions for casting the spell are very simple.

Knowing the name and general origin can kill you.

No matter what magical powers you practice, it’s useless.

After a pause, Zhao Zhen said confidently: “Even Jiang Taigong’s method of replicating does not need to be so complicated.

If you know the monk’s birth date, you can just write it down.

Moreover, I have only recently acquired the Seven Arrows Book, so my skills are still somewhat shallow.

Otherwise, if I see someone with my own eyes, I can easily curse him to death without knowing his date of birth, clothes, hair, or even his name. "

Xiao Yu was a little surprised. "So, Jiang Taigong's method is not much weaker than the original method."

Zhao Zhen carefully took out a small notebook with yellowed pages and a torn surface from his arms.

It is about the same size as an A5 notebook, with only about to pages, and is very thin.

It is not ordinary wood pulp paper. It seems to be cut directly from tree bark or some kind of leaves. There are obvious lines on the surface, and the lines are cracked.

It's also quite dilapidated.

Fortunately, the spine of the book is made of red copper and is locked quite securely, so the pages are torn but have not fallen off.

"It's definitely not as powerful as the real Seven Arrows Book. But Taigong and Master Song back then also improved it, and the casting process and time have been greatly simplified."

Zhao Zhen placed the scarecrow in place and placed an oil lamp on the table above its head and at its feet.

Then he took off his headband, letting his hair down, held a magic sword in his hand, and stepped into the fighting position, muttering to himself.

The spells they recited were all from the Seven Arrows Book.

Xiaoyu didn't understand, but she felt that the area around the altar was becoming more and more weird and ominous. She felt uneasy and uneasy.
