Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 668 Alchemy Doll
"The ghost baby has come down." Lao Yan said softly.

Minister Hou took out a pill from his bosom, and threw it to Jing Sheng who came down with the ghost baby. Of course, his movements were very light, for fear of disturbing the ghost baby, and then he made a silent gesture to us.

Jing Sheng took the pill, but still hesitated, and gave the pill to Guiying after a while.

The ghost baby said ahhh twice, the hostility in the voice had completely disappeared, leaving only the appearance of a well-behaved and obedient baby.

"What will happen if you take this pill?" I couldn't help asking.

It should be said that I am obsessed with ghosts. The existence of ghost babies is against common sense. It would be a good thing if they could disappear, but I don’t know why I suddenly couldn’t bear it. I just think this ghost baby is also a pitiful person.

After all, ghost babies didn't want to become ghost babies themselves. They were caught by evil ways when they were just born, and they were refined into ghost babies by cruel methods.

Minister Hou's voice was very soft, and he said it was nothing, but let it sleep for thousands of years, maybe the world will be very different when it wakes up next time.It is also possible that it will not be able to wake up next time, and this body will slowly decay over time.

I feel better.

Jingsheng had already handed the pill to Guiying, and Guiying opened its mouth wide, and swallowed it with a thump, and within a second, it fell limp.

"It's asleep, so the other ghost babies won't wake up..." Minister Hou heaved a sigh of relief.

I watched Jingsheng pick up the ghost baby, like a baby sleeping in his arms, and then sent the ghost baby to the roof, and locked the chain again, this time it was a real lock, I am afraid that the ghost baby woke up Come and won't break free.

"Now, it's time for me to kill you." Jing Sheng walked down from the upper platform slowly, still holding the dagger in his hand.

I now understand that Minister Hou gave him the dagger not at all to let him kill the ghost baby, but to let him deal with himself.

Because with Jing Sheng's strange ability, it is impossible to use the dagger.

Minister Hou nodded: "You can kill me, but you have to understand one thing, that is... the only thing I owe you is that I didn't take care of you personally."

Jing Sheng's expression was a little shaken, his eyes were a little helpless, he looked more like a child.

"You want me to deal with ghost babies on purpose, right?" He asked suddenly after a long time.

Minister Hou didn't deny it, Jing Sheng watched him for a long time and suddenly threw the dagger on the ground, saying why didn't you tell me earlier, why didn't you tell me earlier?
"I told you, but you still don't believe me." Minister Hou looked helpless.

"Ahhhh!"

Jingsheng suddenly yelled, why, why didn't he make it clear earlier, why did he use this identity to hide it, I would rather those people didn't take good care of me than become what I am now.

Minister Hou sighed, walked slowly in front of Jingsheng, and put his hands on his shoulders: "Isn't that good? 701 is short of people, so you must be very welcome to join, you see They, one or two of them have their own parts that they don't want to remember, but together they are a huge force, and now you are also a part of this force."

Jingsheng looked at him, then at us, Hou Chengcheng hurriedly nodded at him.

"Can I really help her...them?" He changed his words in the middle of speaking, we naturally know who she is talking about in his mouth, and we don't mind.After all, the brother-sister relationship between him and Hou Chengcheng cannot be replaced by ordinary feelings. Even if they are not real brother and sister, they can't stop the relationship between them.

Minister Hou patted him on the shoulder again, saying that he had been waiting for this day for a long time, but he hadn't found a suitable method before, but fortunately it was not too late.

Jingsheng hummed quietly, and the anger in his body disappeared immediately, but he still didn't have a good face towards Minister Hou.After confirming that he could really stay in 701, he walked up to Hou Chengcheng, raised his head and smiled at Hou Chengcheng, like a ten-year-old child.

I also breathed a sigh of relief in my heart. Although we decided to let Jingsheng enter 701, after returning to Yanjing, we must also explain to the higher authorities. We can fool everyone, but we can't fool Minister Hou.Along the way, I was still worried about how I would explain to Minister Hou when I went back, but I didn't expect this to be a bureau set up by him.

Lao Yan said helplessly that even for the sake of realism, you don't need to use Xuan Tianzhu as bait, and you don't need to burn Lishan Mountain, is the price too high?Chang'an almost had an accident.

Minister Hou said confidently that nothing would happen to Chang'an, and at most he would be hospitalized for a few days.

The corners of my mouth twitched as I listened to it, but I didn't think it was a problem, as long as it could really solve the problem, the other things were really not important.

Minister Hou looked at the ghost baby who had passed out on the rooftop, and his expression became serious. He said that he came here this time for Jingsheng, and secondly, the most important thing is to support 701.

"Could the situation have changed?" Lao Yan had a keen sense of smell.

Minister Hou said kindly, and asked us again if we know why there are ghost babies here, and there is a basement under the upper roof, which is also full of ghost babies.

Lao Yan immediately changed his face and asked him how he knew?
Minister Hou said that it relied on intelligence. This time, the 701 Intelligence Section made an omission.As for the source of the information, he was still investigating, but he couldn't sit still after seeing the content of the information, so he rushed to Lishan in person.

This historical record clearly records the existence of Efang Palace, which is much more detailed than the unofficial historical records that Professor Xu has seen.

In the real Efang Palace, there is one on the roof, one ghost baby guarding on it, and ten ghost babies guarding the foundation, and the reason why these babies become ghost babies is because of refining medicine.

"Refining medicine?" I was very surprised.

There are many ways to make ghost babies. The more ruthless the method, the more powerful the ghost babies will be.

But I have never heard of refining medicine.

Professor Xu immediately reacted: "The elixir of life?"

Minister Hou nodded, and it dawned on me——historical records show that Qin Shihuang was obsessed with finding the elixir of life, and he spent a lot of manpower and material resources, and even sent People went to the remote Penglai Wonderland in search of the elixir of life.

It's just that I didn't expect that he would use babies to refine medicine.

"Babies are the initial state of life. The ancients believed that eating purple river carts could keep us young forever. Qin Shihuang was so obsessed with refining the elixir of life. It is indeed possible to refine medicine with babies." Professor Xu sighed.

The power of the emperor is irresistible. If Qin Shihuang needed it, the common people would not dare to hide it.I can't imagine those common people watching their children being selected to refine the elixir of life with their own eyes. They can't cry, because being selected by the emperor is a blessing.

But what about the heart?
I'm afraid it's bleeding.

I sneered: "What is immortality? There is no immortality in this world. It's just that these emperors treat other people's lives like nothing."

Minister Hou glanced at me, smiled and said nothing. I didn't know what he meant, but I didn't ask either.

After looking at me for a while, he looked at the others and said, "Next, we need to walk under the upper roof, so be prepared mentally!"

I thought about the appearance of the ghost babies, and I knew what it looked like under the roof, but I was shocked when I actually saw it—how could these be the ten ghost babies that Minister Hou said?There are densely packed babies who are used to refine medicine. The young ones are probably just born, and the big ones are two or three years old. They are crowded in a basement of about ten square meters, and there is no place to set foot...
