Yu Dao Qiankun

Chapter 264 The cat is a spiritual animal
Two days later, an airship departed from Tiangong.

Wearing goggles, Peng Yu stood behind the airship, embracing the strong wind with open arms.

There was a vast cloud and mist in front of him, and the golden light shot out by the airship forcibly opened a path.

The cold wind gushed from the collar, and Peng Yu shuddered, and slapped Zhuan Yun on the shoulder: "Quickly open the defensive screen, hurry up, hurry up, I'm cold."

Zhuan Yun raised his hand and turned the operation panel to adjust the flight route.The expression under the helmet was full of disgust.

"Your Highness, sit down honestly. If you don't want to sit, just lie down behind and don't move around."

Having said that, he still opened the barrier.The light blue haze covered the airship, as if a bird with wings spread rapidly rushed into the clouds.

Peng Yu pressed Zhuan Yun's shoulder, and looked at the scenery of the sea of ​​clouds happily.

The sun shines down from the nine heavens, and the sea of ​​clouds glows with pale golden waves.

This time they went to the East China Sea, they chose to take the cloud road.

After watching for a while, Peng Yu jumped from the back seat to the co-pilot, put on the seat belt, and took off Zhuan Yun's helmet.

"Okay, be happy. It's a great grace to bring you to such a grand celebration. You should be grateful to me."

"Ha ha……"

Zhuan Yun rolled his eyes while setting the automatic flight mode.

"Grace? You might as well go to the third child for this kind of grace."

Thinking of the weird eyes his father looked at him, Zhuan Yun felt a little headache.

Early this morning, the Heavenly Palace ordered him to go to the East China Sea with Kun Hao.

Although on the surface, it was because I knew Donghai well.But Zhuan Yun understood that it would be no good for this kid to pull him.

"Tell me, what do you want to do?"

"I didn't want to do anything, but my father ordered me to represent him in the launching ceremony of the 'Xianglong'. I took the opportunity to ask you to go with me. Seeing how kind I am to you, I will think of you first."

Zhuan Yun sneered a few times: "It's more than that, isn't it?"

"That's it. Although you have been wandering around with nothing to do these two years, your military status belongs to the Dragon Slaying Legion, and you are familiar with the East China Sea."

Having said that, the Emperor readily agreed to Zhuan Yun and himself to act.He even allowed the two of them to throw off the large army and act alone.

Even Peng Yu himself was surprised.

Is the emperor so relieved of Zhuan Yun?

His favorite son, let Zhuan Yun take him around?If the Emperor of God is really the person he guessed, Zhuan Yang wouldn't be treated like this.

"In terms of your relationship with the Dragon Slaying Legion, you might as well let the guard at Feifeng's gate lead you. After all, he belongs to Yuan Yiling."

"He has to do business, guarding Feifengmen every day, so tiring. It's not like you, Eldest Young Master asked for leave for five years, eight months and thirteen days, this time is very leisurely."

Zhuan Yun turned his head to look at Peng Yu, who lowered his head and fiddled with the trivial things in the drawer of the airship.

"You know a lot."

Why did Zhuan Yun ask for leave? Isn't it to explore the Linghuang Palace?

"Wow, I'm a simple child who doesn't know anything, who would want to tell me?"

"So, you plan to borrow my manpower? What do you want to know?"

I knew it would be fine for you to pull me out!
"Witch Gu incident."

"You want to continue the investigation? Now, when His Majesty announces the turning point?"

Zhuan Yun was very surprised: This kid plays the obedient and obedient son in front of the God Emperor all day long, and now he wants to confront the God Emperor in a blatant manner?Could it be that the rebellious period has finally come?

"Yes. I want to check."

"A word of advice, don't interfere. Even if the witchcraft incident is related to you, since you are fine, it means that the witchcraft has no malice towards you."

"Of course I know that this witchcraft spell didn't harm me. But I want to know how the concubine mother died. And the whole process of this witchcraft technique."

Zhuan Yun remained silent.

He recalled the information he searched.

The imperial concubine gave birth to a dead baby that year.

The art of witchcraft is to save people.But the question is, why did the imperial concubine hold the ceremony again when Kunhao was more than ten years old after Kunhao survived?
Did it fail the first time?But failed, how could Kunhao live?

If it works, why do you need a second time?

And according to Tiangong's rumors, the second witchcraft technique has failed.But the spell failed, why is Kunhao okay?In other words, his accident was due to the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner?Is it inevitable to die at the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner?Nothing to do with booze?

Zhuan Yun has some information in his hands that others don't know.Pair it with the intelligence that is out there today, and you'll find some very strange things.

Especially the glass of wine that Kun Hao drank at the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner.Was that really an accidental protection against disasters for the God Emperor, instead of targeting Kun Hao on purpose?

Intuition tells Zhuan Yun that the truth is definitely not what the current families have.

Thinking of the woman he was working with, Zhuan Yun felt a little tangled in his heart.

If she gets to the bottom of it, will she beat herself up?

But, let her be misunderstood all the time, especially by her own son, is that okay?
"If you are willing to do me this favor, it will be considered that I owe you a favor. In the future, you can be more merciful to the Zhuansun family."

"Hmph, that's not necessary. Staying away from Zhuanyang is the greatest repayment for me." Zhuanyun thought for a while, and asked tentatively, "Do you know what the price of this witchcraft is?"

"The child of Tiangong who died prematurely."

"you believe?"

"Why, you don't believe it?"

"I don't believe it. It's not just me. You can ask Yuan Yiling, and he will never believe it." Zhuan Yun: "It is true that the noble concubine comes from a family of demons and is the strongest master of demons today. But she has an arrogant personality and is determined not to do such a thing." .”

"Your Highness, the cub has a special meaning in our god dynasty."

Protecting minors has been a tradition of the gods for thousands of years.

Peng Yu has also tasted many benefits of this unspoken rule over the years.Many times when acting, those adults look at themselves as minors and take care of them in various ways.

But... because of this rule, the concubine Mo will keep her hand?That's a magician.

"You believe in concubine mother more than emperor father."

"Your Majesty and Your Highness are the closest people to the imperial concubine. But it may be too close, so you can't see clearly. In short, I don't believe in the blood sacrifice of children."

"In addition, even if the imperial concubine uses blood sacrifices, how can the Seventh Prince survive?"

"That's why I came to you. I also broke up with my father the day before yesterday, but my father kicked me out directly. I want you to check for me, Lao Qi's bloodline."

Zhuan Yun's expression was distorted, and he looked at the boy without a word: How dare you suspect that something happened to your father's harem?Dare to tell him directly?No wonder he wants to punch you out.

Meow--

A slight meow came from the back seat, and with a move, Peng Yu fished out Xiao Baidian from the cage, hugged it in his arms, and masturbated.

Seeing Peng Yu bring all the cats with him, Zhuan Yun was even more speechless: "Do you really think we're going on a trip?"

"Yes, isn't it just to watch the launching ceremony? It won't take a few days to go back and forth."

"It's not that simple." Zhuan Yun glanced at him, thinking: Is he really stupid or just pretending to be stupid.The Xianglong was launched, and the next most troublesome thing was to attract investment and bids. The firms under the names of the various aristocratic families were all staring at this opportunity.

As a super-scale giant ship, the Xianglong can purchase various daily necessities after it is launched.And who supplies these daily necessities?
You know, Xianglong has its own subsidiary world.Supplying the daily necessities of the world is a huge business.

According to the past practice of the Shen Dynasty, it is for the legion to purchase by itself.There is too much room for profiteering here.

In addition, the Dragon Slaying Legion must be permanently stationed on Xianglong.You can also bring your generals into the world attached to Xianglong for settlement.When counting the number of people, people from the royal family also need to be watching to avoid false population reporting.

In short, the launch of the Xianglong is just the beginning, and there will be a series of things to be busy in the future.

It should be pretending to be stupid, this guy can't understand.His Majesty sent him over to keep an eye on the situation.

Zhuan Yun thought about it for a while, and stopped thinking about this matter: Although Xianglong is good, it has nothing to do with Zhuansun.The purchase job is not the turn of the business under my family's name.

Seeing that Zhuan Yun remained silent for a long time, Peng Yu teased Xiao Bai Dian with a brisk tone: "Anyway, you should check the blood of Lao Qi carefully. If you check it out, I will know what to do next."

"There is no need to check, His Royal Highness must be of the blood of the God Emperor. If he is not of the blood of the God Emperor, why are you so arrogant when you are the Nine Xuanzong?"

Jiuxuanzong was waiting for the Seventh Prince to ascend the throne, and their ancient Taoism took the opportunity to revive.

"Tiangong's blood pulse detection technique is absolutely infallible."

"That's the question. Why didn't the concubine's blood sacrifice spell kill him? Besides, how did Seventh Sister escape?"

It is a miracle that Chen Concubine Empress was able to give birth to a daughter under the monopoly of the noble concubine.

"Indeed, from the perspective of the imperial concubine performing the blood sacrifice, these two should not have survived. But from another perspective, if the imperial concubine did not perform this curse at all, but used another substitute sacrifice, then of course they can survive."

Zhuan Yun's eyes fell on Xiao Baidian in Peng Yu's arms.

Xiao Baidian shuddered, and burrowed into Peng Yu's skirt.

"Your Highness, cats are spiritual animals."

Peng Yu's pupils shrank, thinking of another title of Emperor Ling, "cat abuser".

Not to kill cats, but to use cats as sacrifices.

From an energy point of view.A cat may not be worth as much as a fetus.But what about ten, one hundred, one thousand?
"Do you suspect that Concubine Mu used cats instead of blood sacrifices?"

"Not only her, there have been many witchcrafts in Tiangong. Most of the sacrifices were civet cats. And this tradition..."

"Your Majesty the Linghuang."

Peng Yu thought of the skeleton cat in the Seven Strange Tales of Tiangong.

In the past two days, he searched some information in Tiangong.It was discovered that rumors about skeleton cats existed as early as the time of the Empress.

At night in Tiangong, there will be some strange skeleton cats wandering around.

Thinking about it now, the origin of this weird talk is the Linghuang.

"Your Highness, do you know the Seven Strange Tales of Tiangong?"

"you know too?"

Peng Yu paid attention to it for the past two days.The god emperor and many princes and concubines didn't know about the strange stories about Tiangong, and it was only circulated on a small scale among court ladies and eunuchs.

"It's not me, it's Zhuan Yang who was looking for masked people, so he paid attention to it. Cats are spiritual animals, and their spirituality lasts a long time after death. If they get a special opportunity, they will turn into skeleton cats."

Although he paid attention to his younger brother's investigation, Zhuan Yun obviously didn't care much about the masked man.

"Among the concubines in the Heavenly Palace, there are many cat owners. But there is only one possibility to create large-scale skeleton cats—the Witch Gu Blood Sacrifice."

"If Your Highness wants to track down the imperial concubine's witchcraft, the best way is to go to Tiangong to find skeleton cats, and use the spirit dream technique to observe the memories of these cat spirits. Find clues from them, and even find the imperial concubine's witchcraft system , to identify what kind of spell and usage it is."

Peng Yu said thoughtfully: "So, there is no such thing as a cursed death of a baby, is it just a coincidence?"

"No, since His Majesty the Divine Emperor dares to say that, relevant evidence must have been searched. There must be traces of witchcraft curses that killed babies in Tiangong. Your Highness, why do you think that only empresses in Tiangong can use witchcraft?"

"Ah——" Peng Yu was startled, and immediately came to his senses, and even thought of a suspect.

"You mean Concubine Chen?"

Before Concubine Zhao gave birth to Kunhao, only Concubine Chen gave birth to a princess in Tiangong.So before Concubine Chen gave birth to the princess, all the fetuses in Tiangong were not born.Isn't her suspicion even greater?
In addition, if Concubine Chen used witchcraft, it was only for the sake of seeking a child.Then the seventh princess was born, and the witchcraft ended.After that, the sixth prince and the seventh prince were born smoothly, which makes sense.

"Your Highness, check it yourself. There must be clues left in the Heavenly Palace. Don't look for people, look for cats. They must know more than people."

It's best to find out what the purpose of the witchcraft of the imperial concubine empress is.

"Wait..." Peng Yu pondered something was wrong: "Obviously I asked you to check, but in the end, I was the one who checked things in Tiangong?"

"I can't go in and out of the Heavenly Palace casually. And I'm really not interested in talking about the Seven Great Monsters."

Those things are related to another collaborator of mine. I went to check these things, and I might not know what the big guy thinks.

As a man with several boats on his feet, Zhuan Yun was under a lot of pressure sometimes.

It is really difficult for me to balance and coordinate the relationship between the few bosses behind me, and carefully deal with them.

But the rewards are also rich.

I have learned a lot from the masters and got a lot of first-hand information.

For example, the matter of Concubine Chen's witchcraft came from the clues mentioned casually by the bosses.

"No, you have to check it too. Later, I will ask Father to get you an official position in the Eastern Palace so that you can enter the palace conveniently. Then, you can check it for me."

If you think of "Kunhao", all the truth is related to the seven strange stories.And the Seven Great Strange Talks have an unclear relationship with the Linghuang.

Peng Yu himself didn't dare to investigate, he needed a scapegoat.If anything is found out, Zhuan Yun will be pushed out to die.

Zhuan Yun wanted to refuse at first, but he could do some investigations conveniently as he was free to enter and leave the Heavenly Palace.After thinking about it again and again, he didn't refuse.

"Anyway, I was ordered by King Zhao to investigate. With this tiger skin, in case something happens, I can withdraw him and put him on top of the tank."

With their own thoughts, the two came to the East China Sea from Yunlu.

At this time, it was dusk.

"Should His Highness go directly to Canglang Palace, or walk around nearby. The seaside is still safe, and you can enjoy the sea view."

"Of course I want to see the sea view." Peng Yu said without hesitation, "We can go to Canglang Palace tomorrow in time. Besides, I don't plan to play at the seaside. If you want to play, go to the deep sea."

"Deep sea? Forget it, children can just pick up shells at the seaside. I'll get you a small shovel later, and play barefoot by yourself."

With that said, Zhuan Yun drove the airship and landed on the beach.

As the sun sets, the water glows with an orange-red halo.There are densely packed silver clams on the beach.

"This is the coastal area of ​​the Moonlight Clam, let's go play, Your Highness."

When Zhuan Yun asked him to play with shells at first, Peng Yu sneered and wanted to fight back.But when he saw the big clams on the coast, he was stunned.

The smallest of these big clams are as big as a washbasin, and the larger ones are comparable to a square table.

"What is this? Why is it so big?"

"Moonlight mussels, there are spirit mussels bred by the Su family. They swallow the moonlight and gestate pearls in their bodies, and they are the most commonly used source of pearl powder for girls. Oh, by the way, your Highness may not know. There is the Su family, our God Dynasty makeup industry Xinyue Tower belongs to her family."

When Peng Yu was in Simu Palace, he didn't pay attention to any cosmetics.

But he still knew the name of Xinyuelou.After all, officials Xiao Mujin and Qiongyun would often buy makeup and rouge over there.

"Moonlight clam..." Peng Yu rolled over and jumped down, Xiaobai let out a meow, and ran down from the airship.

It ran to a small clam and patted its paws a few times.The moonlight clam slowly opened and spit out a few small bubbles.

slap-

The bubble shattered, and Xiaobaidian ran back to Peng Yu's feet in fright.

"What are you afraid of? It can still eat you?" Peng Yu picked up the clam, let alone a pearl after opening it.

Weighing it, it was as big as a longan, and he shouted at the airship, "Zhuan Yun, I'm picking up pearls here, are you okay?"

"It's okay, the farm can mine whatever you want. Just pay a sum of money later, you play slowly, and I will pay for it."

Not only that, the Moonlight Clam farm is also a leisure and tourist attraction, and there is a residential area not far away where you can cook with fire.

Seeing Peng Yu playful, Zhuan Yun simply ran to rent a room for a day and lived here temporarily tonight.

When he came back after completing the procedures, he saw that the boy had torn off his coat, only wearing a pair of big underpants, and was digging pearls by the seaside with Xiao Baidian.

Leaning his hand against the door of the airship, he muttered, "After all, this kid is also a child."

The young man smiled purely, as if he had put away all his troubles.Holding a big shell can be fun for a long time.

After staring at it for a while, Zhuan Yun took out a video tool to take pictures.

The immortal sword vibrated twice.

Zhuan Yun paused and smiled: "Don't worry, grandfather, I know how to measure. When it's time to strike, I will never be soft. But right now...is not the time."
