Chapter 1343 Failure to nourish the five internal organs and loss of Qi and blood
"The body and soul are not in harmony? Lao Cai, you mean that Emperor Jianwu was taken away from him?"
Qin Shaoyou asked in surprise, and at the same time thought to himself, it's not such a coincidence, right? Over there in Qingtang, the old King of Qingtang was deceived by the "See You Tomorrow" monk, and seized his son's body, hoping to achieve another way of immortality and longevity.
youth.
Here in Daxia, Emperor Jianwu was actually taken away from his body?
Who will take away his body?
Is he the mad god who escaped from the blood moon?
Or was he raised as a gu by Emperor Jianwu, a demon from the Black Lotus Sect?
He was surprised when he saw Cai Guizhong shaking his head.
"It's not like seizing a body. Although Emperor Jianwu's body and soul are incompatible, it is indeed his soul that inhabits his body."
"Since the body was not taken away, why is there a disharmony between body and soul?"
Qin Shaoyou asked, he still trusted Cai Guizhong's judgment.
Especially on matters related to the soul, Cai Guizhong, as the city emperor, is an expert and has high authority.
Besides, not all the ministers of the Great Xia Dynasty were mediocre people, there were still many discerning ones.
If Emperor Jianwu was really taken over by someone, these ministers would not have noticed and reacted.
Previously, the monk "See You Tomorrow" pretended to be the first assistant Zheng Yayuan, and many people in the court saw the problem. However, at that time, they followed the normal process, choosing to impeach, and to report to the Demon Suppression Department and the Editorial Office.
report.
It's just that at that time, the 'see you tomorrow' monk and Emperor Jianwu were still on the same team, and the two sides cooperated in acting to suppress these impeachments and reports.
If the person who was seized was Emperor Jianwu, the situation would be different. The courtiers would definitely clear the emperor's side and save him.
Cai Guizhong also didn't understand why such a strange situation happened to Emperor Jianwu.
After pondering for a moment, he said: "I think there are two possibilities. One is that there is something wrong with the exercises that Emperor Jianwu learned from the Blood Moon Mad God, which made him go crazy and become incompatible with his body and soul.
. Another possibility is that there is something wrong with his body and he has run out of energy... But looking at his appearance before, it doesn't look like he is terminally ill."
When Qin Shaoyou heard this, he raised his eyebrows and told his discovery: "Emperor Jianwu's aura is more chaotic than the last time I saw him, and the blood in his veins seems to be sluggish.
...could it be these that caused the incompatibility between body and soul?"
"It's possible." Cai Guizhong nodded, and then said: "So, it is true that something went wrong while Emperor Jianwu was practicing the technique handed down by the Blood Moon Mad God, causing physical problems? Or maybe it was the previous ambush.
, caused serious damage to him?"
Qin Shaoyou didn't say anything, but was thinking about the two strange smells he smelled when leaving the Immortal Palace, and the few intermittent words he heard.
All this made him suspect that things might not be that simple.
Vaguely, he seemed to have caught a clue, but he was not sure yet. Just when he was about to tell the situation and ask everyone to help him with his advice, Cui Youying took the lead and asked Li Erlang: "Old Li, what are you doing?
Silent? You also entered the palace and saw the Hunjun, but what did you find?"
"My understanding of souls is not as good as that of Lao Cai, so I won't comment on this matter. However, I did find something about Hun Jun."
Li Erlang quickly revealed his findings.
One of them is the blood of Emperor Jianwu.
He also noticed that there was something wrong with Emperor Jianwu's blood.
After all, he is Shuibo and is very sensitive to liquids.
He discovered that the blood in Emperor Jianwu's body not only flowed sluggishly, but also was less abundant than in a normal human body, resulting in a lack of nourishment for the five internal organs and a lack of blood and qi.
Perhaps this is the reason that causes the body and soul to be incompatible? Because according to "Suwen", the liver is the residence of the soul and can store the soul, and the liver needs blood to nourish it. Once the blood does not nourish the liver, it will cause the liver to not store the soul.
.
It’s not surprising that this leads to incompatibility between body and soul.
Another discovery was that there was a lot of blood hidden in the alchemy furnace in front of Emperor Jianwu...
"That foolish Emperor Jianwu often used living people to make elixirs, or drained people's blood and poured it into the alchemy furnace as raw materials. Is it possible that this is the reason why there is a lot of blood hidden in the alchemy furnace?"
Qin Shaoyou asked.
He secretly placed ink spots in the palace. In the past few days, he saw many eunuchs being thrown directly into the alchemy furnace by Emperor Jianwu for doing wrong things, or having all their blood drained and poured into the alchemy furnace. As for what was hidden in the alchemy furnace,
There was a lot of blood, so I wasn't surprised.
Even if the blood has not been dried and refined, it would not be surprising.
Emperor Jianwu's alchemy furnace was not ordinary. Qin Shaoyou even suspected that it had life and a soul.
However, Emperor Jianwu's blood condition is very puzzling.
Is it because he practiced the crazy god technique and became obsessed with it?
Or is there some other secret hidden in this faint king?
Zhu Xiucai spoke at this time and said while thinking: "Could these strange situations on Emperor Jianwu be related to his eagerness to sacrifice to the mad god? Not only did he want to become an immortal, but he also saw himself
There is something wrong with your body and you want to save your life so as not to die suddenly before you become a god?"
"It's possible."
Cai Guizhong responded, "In addition to the change of becoming a god, what Emperor Jianwu asked the most today is how to maintain the ghost soul in order to remain immortal, and how to do it in order to accumulate merit and incense as quickly as possible, and be granted the title of god. There are also
The difference between a ghost becoming a god and a living person becoming a god, etc...
Judging from his appearance, although he was wary and suspicious of you, he still regarded you as his last guarantee. And he asked about the situation of Yinhun in detail, probably because he had a physical problem and was worried that he would not be able to get improvement from the Blood Moon Mad God in time.
method, so I am eager to understand the details and find a way out."
"If that's the case, then Hunjun must have a backup plan."
Senior Brother Cui scratched his hair and said with a headache: "What is his next move? There are only three days until the full moon, and he has not revealed any flaws. What should we do?"
"We can only be on high alert and actively investigate... However, since we entered Beijing, we have been targeted by the informants sent by various yamen. It is difficult to actively investigate. We can only hope that Commander Lu and Xu Jianzheng can be able to
It’s been harvested.”
After Qin Shaoyou sighed, he finally found an opportunity and said seriously: "When I left the Dengxian Palace, I made two more discoveries. Please help me as a consultant to see if they are related to the strange situation of Emperor Jianwu.
…”
After listening to Qin Shaoyou's description, Cai Guizhong was very interested in the two odors and asked about the odor in detail.
It's a pity that the two odors were mild in nature and were quickly covered up. Even Qin Shaoyou's [wonderful nose] was not careful enough to detect them.
"I can't tell what the odor is. It smells a bit complicated, like a mixture of multiple odors, including the smell of sweat, rotting corpses, and the smell of feces and urine... The key is that the smell is too light.
And it was covered up so quickly that I couldn’t discern it in detail.”
Although Qin Shaoyou did not distinguish the two odors in detail, Cai Guizhong's expression changed slightly after listening to his description, as if he had thought of something...
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
On the night of the full moon, amidst the high tension and alertness of everyone, the event arrived as scheduled!
