Chapter 58: Inquiry [Thanks to Jiutian Yu Shenjian Wan
Although this record about Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty is somewhat absurd and cannot be completely believed, the approximate events that occurred at that time are very clear.
As for Emperor Taizong's journey to the underworld, he probably did it on purpose. In fact, for a person who has mastered the basic methods, it is not difficult to implement such a thing.
Chen Zhi can now use phantom spells or invisible spells to make anyone have nightmares, making him dream that he is falling into the underworld and wailing in pain, but the premise is that the person must have a ghost in his heart.
If this god in white is Yuan Tiangang, he was the leader at that time.
Then his method of using upper-level institutions to replace mainstream religions is indeed perfect.
That night, Chen Zhi used the summoning technique to summon Wu Jia out.
Wujia is very prosperous these days, holding Jiang's flag outside and attracting many demigods.
He is originally a descendant of the orcs and the New Gods, and his status is not high. For a long time in the past, he has been ostracized by the gods.
But now Chen Zhi's banner is looked down upon by the gods. I heard that there are many little demigods out there, and they are already called gods.
Wu Jia is now wearing a gorgeous outfit and a crown of red gold and white silk on his head, just like those heavenly soldiers and generals on TV.
After he saw Chen Zhi, he immediately knelt down and knelt down and said respectfully:
"Master, why are you summoning your slave?"
"Wu Jia...",
Chen Zhi lowered his head and ordered,
"Go to the East Thousand Buddha Cave and bring an orc here. I have something to ask him..."
When he heard the word orc, Wu Jia was obviously hesitant.
"Master, what kind of status do you have! Why do you need to meet the orcs in person?
You must know that the orcs are humble and will stain the master's eyes. If you have anything to do, just ask the slave to convey it. How can such a humble thing deserve to see the master's holy face!"
After hearing this, Chen Zhi frowned, folded his hands together and lowered his body, looking into Wu Jia's eyes:
"Wujia, remember one thing!
The level difference between living beings can never be told from your mouth!
When we go to pick up the orc later, we are not allowed to say anything, and we are not allowed to scare him, do you understand?"
"Subordinates take orders!",
Wu Jia immediately knelt down respectfully and accepted Chen Zhi's order. Then he turned around and disappeared with a burst of smoke.
After a while, smoke burst out of the ground again, Wu Jia's head emerged from the ground, and then another person was pulled out.
It was the old man who was the gatekeeper of Thousand Buddha Cave...
The old man was obviously frightened by Wu Jia. When he saw Chen Zhi again, he immediately bowed his head and bowed very humbly:
"Your Majesty, Chief Jiang!
I am a slave and a humble beastman, and I bow to the God! I bow to the God!
May I ask if you have anything to tell me, I will do it immediately..."
"I want to ask you something, don't be too nervous, sit down first!",
Chen Zhi casually pointed to a chair next to him and motioned for him to sit down.
But the old man was obviously very frightened. He looked at the chair and then at Wu Jia next to him...
I saw Wu Jia's eyes widened and the corners of his eyes were red. The meaning was very obvious: Old guy, you don't deserve to sit there!
The old orc man immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Chen Zhi:
"Clan leader, please don't kill your slave!
With such a humble status as a servant, I dare not admire your breath.
The god next to me doesn't have a seat yet, so even if I have the courage to do so, I won't dare to sit down!
Patriarch, please have mercy on this slave’s humble life, and let this slave kneel and obey your orders!”
"Okay~~" Chen Zhi no longer forced him and waved his hand casually:
"You are old, there is no need to kneel!
Just stand and talk!
I'm going to ask you some questions now. Answer as much as you know. If you don't know, just say you don't know!
Don’t base your imagination on it, don’t mislead me, do you understand?”
"I don't dare!",
The orc kowtowed respectfully and replied:
"Whatever the patriarch asks the slave, the slave will answer whatever he asks. If the slave doesn't know, just say he doesn't know!"
"Yeah!" Chen Zhi nodded slightly,
"I have already checked. In the past period of time in Guazhou, there should have been an orc bloodline, and this bloodline is not just for ordinary people.
But you orcs have never been good at keeping records, you have no marital ethics, and you don't often keep in touch with your relatives.
Let me ask you, besides you and your wife, are there any other orcs operating here in Guazhou now? When was the last time you saw the same kind!"
"Um……",
The old man tilted his head and listened carefully to every word Chen Zhi said. After thinking for a while, he respectfully replied:
"Report to the patriarch!
The slave couple were sent here when they were teenagers. Because we are from a side bloodline and are insignificant among the tribe, we have never seen our kind again since then.
But more than 100 years ago, when there was a war here, an elder of the slave came to Thousand Buddha Cave to find the slave, saying that the world at that time was dangerous and they wanted to return to the desert.
Let the two of us, husband and wife, guard the "Scroll Wall of Holy Buddha's Enlightenment" for a long time, and live cautiously and do it well in the future.
I begged the elders not to abandon us as husband and wife, but the elders said that there were not many orcs left, and the environment in the desert was dangerous. Even if we went back this time, we might not survive!
Our bloodline originally came from the desert, where our ancestors lived. Now we have to go back even if we die. This is called returning fallen leaves to their roots!
Since then, I have never heard from them again!
I think he should be dead by now!"
When the old orc said this, his tone was indescribably deep, and he obviously missed his tribe.
"So that's it...",
Chen Zhi thought for a while. He used magic to search everywhere these days and found a lot of information about the surrounding Gobi Desert. Indeed, there was no trace of the orcs.
So he looked at the old orc man again:
"You said that your bloodline originally came from the desert. Do you know which area of the desert it came from?"
"Hmm..." The old man tilted his head and thought for a while.
Finally he seemed to remember something and said:
"I remember, I heard from my elders that our bloodline comes from Turpan in the Eastern Desert. There is an important road there that leads directly to the ancient Gaochang Kingdom!
