Immortality: I can absorb the memories of the dead.

Chapter 34 A murder caused by a pill

That night, Zhou Yi returned home and reorganized and planned the Dao Xian Gourd according to what he had learned from books.

"I've learned a lot of skills since I came to this world, such as tomb raiding, alchemy, and farming. If I were in my previous life, I wouldn't have starved to death even if I didn't work."

With a joke, Zhou Yi was about to go out, but he found that several extremely majestic spirit chickens were pressing towards him from the front.

"cluck"

Zhou Yi glanced left and right, and saw that there was a team of spirit chickens surrounding him, and even there were spirit chickens behind him blocking his retreat.

The leader is the rooster who seems to be an old friend!
"Now that you have developed intelligence, do you want to attack me?"

No wonder it was forbidden to become a demon in the previous life.

Non-my family, its heart must be different.

After these spirit chickens gained self-awareness, they wanted to kill themselves to avoid being eaten by themselves.

“Kuh!”

Suddenly, the rooster let out a sharp scream, and all the other spirit chickens immediately spread their wings and claws, rushing towards Zhou Yi at a high speed, trying to tear him into pieces.

Zhou Yi shook his head and just glanced over, and several spiritual chickens were killed directly.

"You have only been practicing for two and a half years and you come to challenge me. This move of mine is more than a hundred dragon-elephant powers. Can you withstand it?"

He brought all the magic chickens to the mountain without saying a word. He plucked the feathers of each one, gutted them, and roasted them in front of the other magic chickens.

When the fragrance spread, all the spiritual chickens on the whole mountain began to tremble. Their eyes, which originally had some strange thoughts in their minds, now only showed fear.

That figure was like a world-destroying demon in their minds and had become their lingering nightmare.

It can be imagined that from today on, no spirit chicken would dare to act presumptuously in front of him or have any inappropriate thoughts.

Even the ducks on the neighboring mountain were surprisingly quiet, not as noisy as usual.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, another year had passed, and the fight between the two emperors had become more and more intense.

The retired emperor sat in Tai'an Palace and commanded his ministers remotely.

Today you dismiss my men, and tomorrow I will investigate your men for corruption. When it comes to important matters of state, such as flood control and disaster relief, and solving cases concerning people's livelihood, they will all be delayed as much as possible. The back and forth between them has greatly consumed the power of the court.

The social development of Daqian stagnated and the people complained.

Zhou Yi couldn't help but sigh that Bei Mang's trick was really brilliant.

On this day, Zhou Yi was patrolling the Tianlao as usual, when he suddenly saw a figure escorted in by officers.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be none other than the All-Seeing Rat Li Hua.

"How did he get caught?"

With a mutter, the other party had handed Li Hua over to the jailer. Zhou Yi stepped forward and asked.

"What did he do?"

"This kid is selling pills privately."

"Does the imperial court prohibit the private sale of elixirs?"

"That's not the case, but among the pills sold privately, there is a pill called the Soul-Nourishing Pill. The Soul-Nourishing Pill is a specialty of Eastern Liao. He might be a spy, and we must find out the alchemist behind him."

"I see."

Zhou Yi finally understood what the other party wanted to do. It turned out that he wanted to find him out and get the soul-nourishing pill.

The recipe of the Soul-Nourishing Pill is not top secret, but alchemy is not only about the recipe, but also about the alchemist.

Good elixirs often require a skilled alchemist.

"Take him away and punish him."

A jailer spoke up, Zhou Yi moved his lips, but didn't say anything, just looked at Li Hua meaningfully. Soon, Li Hua was escorted to the execution room, and was soon beaten to pieces.

"Boy, tell me as soon as possible, so that you won't suffer any physical pain."

"Bah! You are a bunch of lackeys of the imperial court, bastards! Why don't you go out and ask around? I have been in the underworld since I was eight years old. When have I ever betrayed anyone? Kill me if you dare. At most, I can be a hero again in eighteen years."

"You son of a bitch, you're still so stubborn. I'll beat you to death."

"This guy is a real man."

Zhou Yi thought to himself, if he dared to betray him, he would kill him, but since he was so loyal, he would save his life.

The jailer was having a great time beating the prisoner when suddenly, a sword light came down from the sky and blasted open the prison.

For a moment, there was chaos in the prison, with screams and cries heard continuously.

Before Li Hua could figure out what was happening, he felt a large hand grabbing his shoulder. The next second, the scene in front of him changed so fast that he couldn't see clearly.

Just as he was about to speak, he was already a hundred miles away from Kyoto.

Puff.
He was thrown to the ground.

Zhou Yi used the art of disguise to transform himself into Xiao Yan's appearance.

"Master Xiao Xiao!"

When Li Hua saw Zhou Yi, his eyes widened instantly, his face full of disbelief.

All along, he thought that 'Xiao Yan' was just an alchemist, but he didn't expect that the other party was such a super powerful person with such terrifying strength?
Zhou Yi lowered his voice and spoke slowly:
"How did you get captured by the imperial court?"

Li Hua came back to his senses and quickly said:

"To answer your question, it was all my fault. I was going to give the Soul Nourishing Pill you made for me to heal my wounded brothers, but one of them left one pill uneaten because of greed.

A few days ago, I took it to Kyoto Pharmacy to sell, but I didn't expect to be bumped into by the Minister of Justice, who immediately followed the clues and caught the villain.

So, they arrested me and wanted to find your whereabouts. But Senior, I didn't say a word. "

"I see."

Zhou Yi finally understood what was going on, then turned around and left, disappearing from the spot in an instant, leaving only one sentence behind.

"I saved your life today, so leave now. Don't stay in Kyoto again. If you do, no one will save you next time."

"Hi~!"

Li Hua couldn't help but gasp, his scalp numbing from the shock of this scene.

"What a master!"

That night, Kyoto was in deathly silence. Suddenly, a ray of sword light fell and accurately blew the Minister of Justice's Mansion into the sky.

Facing his former boss, the warden, Zhou Yi showed no mercy. Anyone who dared to provoke him would be killed, no matter who they were!
When the news reached the palace, Emperor Jing was furious.

"Before, I just talked but didn't do anything. Now, first it's the Heavenly Prison, and now it's the Minister of Justice's Mansion! Li Qingyun, since you want to play, then I will play with you to the end! Let's see who is the true emperor?"

In the spring of the fourth year of Emperor Jingdi's reign, the Antai Palace was attacked by assassins, all of whom were innate masters.

The late emperor escaped the disaster because he went into the palace to meet the empress dowager, but his wife and children, whom he brought back from Beimang, unfortunately died.

When this news came out, the whole world was shocked.

In the following days, troops were frequently mobilized from all over the country, and there was a hidden trend of resistance. The entire Daqian was shrouded in a dark cloud.

It was not until the beginning of summer that this long-awaited war finally began.

That night, Zhou Yi slowly opened his eyes and looked towards the direction of the imperial palace. Although there were many walls and buildings between him and the palace, the scene inside the palace came into his mind as soon as he scanned it with his mental power.

"Is it finally starting?"
