Before coming to the Cave of the Ten Thousand Gods, Jayakalu and others discussed a lot of arguments they wanted to use to deal with Qin Shaoyou.
But at this moment, none of the words they had carefully prepared could be uttered.
In addition to being frightened by the powerful power and mystery displayed by Qin Shaoyou, they did not dare to lie.
Also because of the influence of Qin Shaoyou's [Bright Eyesight] and [Skilled Tongue], they can only tell the truth.
Under the leadership of Jayakala, this group of princes and ministers of Chenla Kingdom grabbed the land one after another, claiming guilt.
Everyone's face was full of horror and fear.
Qin Shaoyou raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Why, you didn't bring the people and things I wanted?"
"Master Admiral, it's not that we want to disobey your order. We actually know the secret of the Fusang Tree, as well as the two divine kings in the Cave of the Ten Thousand Gods... Ah, no, they are the two evil gods. They are all dead...
"
Sayakaro grabbed the ground with his head and banged his head, while explaining quickly:
"As for the origins of the fusang tree and the evil god, only the king and a few close associates around him know about it.
These people either followed the leader of the country and died in the rebellion.
Either he suddenly exploded to death a few days ago when flames soared into the sky in the Cave of the Ten Thousand Gods.
None of the other people, including us princes, know these things.
Even before we received the order from the Admiral, we didn’t know that there was a legendary hibiscus tree hidden in the Cave of the Gods!
We, the people, were only told that gods really existed in this place when we followed the king to the Cave of the Gods to worship the gods.
We haven't even seen the true face of the god, we just heard the king mentioned his name and briefly described his appearance and characteristics.
Just like that, we were all almost affected and went crazy!
We were wondering at the time, why did we go crazy when we heard the description of the appearance of gods?
We now know that the so-called gods here are evil gods that cause harm to people and the world!"
Speaking of this, Sayakala knocked his head louder.
"I would like to thank the Admiral for rescuing us and the people of Zhenla from the hands of the evil god.
If the Ten Thousand Gods Cave is allowed to develop like this, the consequences will be disastrous!
The Admiral is truly the great savior of our people in Zhenla!"
"Yes, thank you, Lord Admiral!"
"Admiral, you are so righteous!"
"Thank you, Lord Admiral, for saving us!"
"Admiral, please give me a new life with my kindness. If you don't give up, I would like to worship you as my adoptive father!"
The princes and ministers of Zhenla Kingdom hurriedly kowtowed in agreement.
Qin Shaoyou didn't have time to listen to their flattery. He raised his finger and pointed at the boxes and loads of things they brought, and asked: "What are these you brought?"
Jayaka quickly replied: "These are the geographical atlas, household register, taxation, criminal records of our Zhenla Kingdom, as well as the supernatural items we have collected over the years..."
The people in Zhenla Kingdom knew that the situation was irreversible and there was no chance of a comeback, so they simply gave in completely.
They took the initiative to take out maps, census registers, treasures, etc., hoping to exchange their positive attitude for leniency.
Qin Shaoyou didn't give up and asked again: "There is no information related to the evil gods and fusang trees in the Cave of the Ten Thousand Gods?"
"No."
Jayakala replied cautiously:
"After we received the order from the Admiral, we arranged a large number of manpower to check the information related to the Cave of the Ten Thousand Gods.
It turned out that the previous data on the Cave of the Gods was available, but the data in recent years was missing.
The previous information was all normal and did not involve the evil god and hibiscus tree mentioned by the Admiral.
We asked someone about the reason and were told that the reason for the missing data was not that it had been destroyed, but that in recent years, under the order of the king, the officials in charge of the Ten Thousand Gods Cave had stopped conducting research on the matter of the Ten Thousand Gods Cave.
Record."
"Where are the officials in charge of the Ten Thousand Gods Cave?" Qin Shaoyou asked.
"They're all dead."
Sayakala couldn't help but shudder when he said this.
"They all self-destructed in strange ways, shattering their bodies and bones, and even their souls."
There is no doubt that this should be the work of the Gu God's clone.
The Gu God's clone placed a poison curse on those who knew about it. When it was killed by Qin Shaoyou, these curses were activated one after another, killing all the people who knew about it.
Even though these people probably didn't know anything, they were still silenced.
Qin Shaoyou touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
When the princes and ministers of Zhenla Kingdom saw this, they did not dare to disturb Qin Shaoyou, but they did not dare to stop kowtowing, so they could only continue.
Even if it hurts my head and bleeds, I don't dare to stop.
After a while, Qin Shaoyou spoke again.
"In what year did the records of Ten Thousand Gods Cave stop?"
Sayakala secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Qin Shaoyou's silence didn't last long, for them, the days were like years and they felt extremely depressed.
"Reporting to the Admiral, it is the fifth year of Xingqing." Sayakalu said.
Xinqing is a reign name of the Zhenla Kingdom. Before Qin Shaoyou came to southern Xinjiang, he could not check out a lot of information, and of course some of it was from the Zhenla Kingdom.
So he knew this year name and also knew that the fifth year of Xinqing was the year before Emperor Jianwu ascended the throne.
"Huh?"
Qin Shaoyou raised his eyebrows.
Speaking of which, there were some doubts about Emperor Jianwu's ability to ascend the throne.
Before Emperor Jianwu ascended the throne, the old emperor's health was actually very good, and he would have no problem living for another ten or twenty years.
As a result, I accidentally fell into the water while playing in the garden.
Although he was rescued by the eunuchs and internal guards in time, he contracted a serious disease. After that, he got good and bad, and the imperial doctors were helpless, and he died within a few months.
After the old emperor died, Emperor Jianwu was not the best successor.
At that time, there was another prince who was even more supported by the courtiers, and in the will made by the old emperor, this prince was also allowed to succeed to the throne.
As a result, during the period of observing his filial piety, the prince raped the old emperor's concubine, and all the cabinet ministers happened upon him.
The prince didn't know whether he was overly shocked or what happened, but he actually wanted to kill the cabinet bachelor to silence him. After he was captured, he was deprived of his inheritance qualifications and died not long after.
At that time, Emperor Jianwu was not obsessed with cultivating immortals, and he was quite good in both knowledge and moral character. So after a ceremonial discussion, he was elected as emperor and inherited the throne.
Unexpectedly, after Emperor Jianwu inherited the throne, dealt with his dissidents, and fully took control of the imperial power, he revealed his true colors and began to use the power of the whole country to help him cultivate immortality.
He even did not hesitate to sacrifice the people of the country.
When he saw this period of history before, Qin Shaoyou also wondered whether Emperor Jianwu had done something secretly.
But he also felt that Emperor Jianwu at that time probably did not have the strength to kill his father and brother under the eyes of the courtiers without being discovered.
But at this moment, after listening to Sayakalu's words, Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but connect the two things.
Could it be that when the record of the Cave of the Ten Thousand Gods was cut off, a clone of the mad god had already slipped down and hid in the Cave of the Ten Thousand Gods?
However, the Mad God clone at that time was very weak, so it was unable to make any big moves.
But he could bewitch Emperor Jianwu, teach him evil cultivation techniques, and expand his ambitions and desires.
He even helped him kill his father and brother and ascend to the throne.
If this is really the case, then is it still a tradition for Lao Si family to kill his father and ascend the throne?
This tradition is not good, especially now that the person who becomes the emperor is his own nephew.
We have to find a way to cancel this tradition.
Seeing that Qin Shaoyou's face turned gloomy and clear, the princes and ministers of Zhenla Kingdom all trembled and did not dare to say a word.
Only one person suddenly spoke:
"Sir Admiral, I don't know the origin of the evil god, but the hibiscus tree probably comes from the East China Sea."
