Wei Zi thought for a while and asked Nanming: "Have you ever heard of the 'Yi people's souls are sacrificed to heaven'?"
Nanming looked startled.
Wei Zi thought to himself and continued: "This matter starts with 'Hou Yi shoots the sun'. In ancient times, Yi fought against the gods, and the gods sent out ten suns. The sun and even the sun's things, Yi then figured out how to use the world
The most yin thing, that is, the human soul, was used to weaken the attack of the sun. He took this opportunity to climb the towering mountain and shoot down nine suns with his big bow."
"Because people are being sacrificed while standing under ten suns, the body that has lost its soul will turn into a mummy."
"This incident was recorded in a certain fragment of the Classic of Mountains and Seas. At first I thought that these four cases might be related to the 'Yi people's soul sacrifice to heaven'. Those deceased had their souls removed and died quietly.
.However, the deaths of Rongan County Lord and Feng Jiaxuan indicate another possibility: perhaps, what was taken away was not the living soul, but the young blood essence."
"Then, why do we need young blood?"
Wei Zi was asking this question not only to himself, but also to Nan Ming in the prison opposite.
Wei Zi noticed that Nan Ming had a clear look of surprise in her eyes. She was not sure whether he was surprised by what she said or by her knowing about these things.
In the end, Nanming just shook his head and replied to Wei Zi: "I don't know."
Wei Zi knew that if Nanming didn't speak, she wouldn't be able to guess it. Therefore, she could only add more information.
"Six hundred years ago, Chi You re-condensed his soul and reincarnated into Linze, the Prime Minister of Yong Dynasty, in order to avenge Ji Xuanyuan for killing him and expelling Jiuli. Unfortunately, Linze did not succeed, or in other words, he ended up in
Between the two lives, I chose Linze’s life.”
"Six hundred years later, Linze was reincarnated again, named 'Yang Liao', also aliased 'Nanming'."
"Nanming. Why are you here in this life?"
Nan Ming stood up in shock and blurted out: "Who on earth are you?!"
Wei Zi did not reply to him, but continued to follow the question he just asked: "Let me guess. When you captured Mocheng, you also told the prince that you wanted the northwest territory. No matter whether it is Mocheng or the northwest territory, it's all
The prince has been fighting for many years in these barren lands, but even if he captured them, he never thought of incorporating them into the Yun Kingdom's territory, because it was too difficult to manage them."
"It's hard to start a business, but it's even harder to stay established. You must understand this truth. Do you want the northwest territory to create a new country in a barren land? I don't believe it."
"What I prefer to believe is that there is something in the northwest territory that can enable you to achieve a certain goal."
"Let me guess again, is this purpose related to the Yi tribe?"
"Suppose you are on the side of the Yi people, and the murderer is on the opposite side of the Yi people. He committed these four cases and killed members of the royal family in order to divert attention to you and the Yi people. In other words, the murderer
The ultimate goal of one party is not the royal family, but the Yi clan, and you, who are on the same front as the Yi clan."
