Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Tang Ning left the silver shop and returned to the Taoist temple.

At night, Fan Shang came and took a stack of notes and files: "Uncle Master, we have finished sorting them out. All the notes and intelligence files in the East Palace are here."

"Speak directly, have you checked it out?"

Fan Shangdao: "According to our review of the files and the information on the notes, the missing children were indeed kidnapped by the guards of the East Palace, and the mastermind was the Prince of Chu. As for the reason, we don't know yet. It seems that the Prince of Chu was seriously ill. The notes repeatedly I have mentioned several times that the prince is ill."

"Do you understand this Prince of Chu?"

"This man's surname is Chu and his given name is Bangjie. He is thirty-four years old and has no spiritual roots. He was established as a prince at the age of fourteen. He is extravagant and domineering."

Tang Ning looked through the file, and all the records in it were conversations recorded with phonetic notes.

Be sure to get it before tonight.

Know.

Hurry, the prince is about to get sick, please carry him in quickly.

Is the prince okay?

Okay, are the food for next month ready?

The files are full of scattered conversations.

"Uncle, there seems to be nothing weird about this matter. It's just a common thing. The prince is seriously ill, and he may have listened to the words of some evil alchemists, and he should use children's things as medicine to cure his illness. How can I trouble you for such a trivial matter? Check it out yourself?" Fan Shang asked doubtfully.

Tang Ning said: "If it was really that simple, I wouldn't have come all the way here. I received the report and sent people to investigate the matter, and finally disappeared. I suspect that there is a dark hand behind this prince, and this person is the one responsible for the disappearance of the children in Bianjing City. The leader may be a monk who has practiced some evil skills."

Fan Shang said: "So, it seems that there is something hidden about this matter. Uncle, would you like me to go to the Prince's Mansion to investigate?"

"No need, I'll go meet them and see what kind of evil heretic is causing trouble. Didn't you detect anything in the East Palace Mansion half a month ago?"

"The intelligence station only occasionally monitors the residence of such a secular prince. Although there are copper pipes under the prince's residence, it is not monitored all the time. Otherwise, not to mention the lack of manpower, the consumption of musical notes alone would be too much for the spiritual stone funds. Generally speaking, we have Such a prince's mansion is monitored once or twice a month. If it does not involve information about the Demon Sect, it will not be monitored closely. "

Tangning nodded, without saying anything else, left the Taoist temple and turned into light.

…………

The lights in the East Palace are brightly lit, and the maids and guards come and go in a hurry.

Tang Ning escaped into the palace and went straight to the prince Chu Bangjie's bedroom. She saw a man in a yellow robe with a heavy waist and a heavy back sitting cross-legged in the middle, motionless.

What are you doing? Tang Ning was puzzled. There was no spiritual energy fluctuation in this man's body. He actually sat cross-legged like a monk. Judging from his posture and gestures, he was clearly breathing in his breath. But he has no spiritual power at all, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is not guided by it.

After a while, a sharp voice came from outside the house: "Prince, the meal is ready."

"Yes." Chu Bangjie responded softly.

The door opened, and a group of maids filed in. Each of them was holding a copper basin filled with food.

There were more than a dozen copper basins filled with chickens, ducks, cows, sheep, etc. Tang Ning was a little surprised that she couldn't finish eating so much food in dozens of days.

Chu Bangjie opened his eyes, stood up and walked to the wooden table in the hall. He grabbed a suckling pig in the copper basin and started to eat it. His bloody mouth was wide open as he devoured it. After a while, the suckling pig was eaten clean. .

He kept talking, picked up a roast lamb and continued to eat, eating it cleanly after three times.

Tang Ning was stunned to see that all the food in a dozen copper basins was eaten by him in less than one stick of incense, not even the bones were left.

After Chu Bangjie finished the food, he wiped his mouth, as if he still had some unfinished thoughts. Then he returned to his bedroom and sat down cross-legged, continuing to breathe in and out.

There is no doubt that the handsome, muscular man in front of him is completely out of the realm of mortals. If he insists on speaking, he looks like a beast in human skin.

Even a wild beast cannot eat so much food in one meal, the prince of Chu.

Very weird.

In the palace, a eunuch directed the maids to clean up the palace. Tangning quietly withdrew, escaped underground, and followed the maids all the way.

"Our prince is getting better and better at eating. Now every meal requires more than a dozen cattle and sheep."

"Isn't that true? I heard that the prince's condition is getting more and more serious. If it continues like this, what will happen?"

The two maids talked quietly.

"What are you mumbling about? I'm warning you, don't reveal a word about the prince's condition. Anyone who says a word will see if I don't beat her to death." The leading eunuch scolded her.

Everyone did not dare to speak anymore. After carrying the copper basin to the dining room, they went back to their rooms to rest.

Tang Ning followed the leading eunuch to a deserted corner and appeared. With a wave of her hand, the eunuch fell softly.

With a flash of light, he took him out of the mansion and came to a remote and uninhabited place. He used the soul control technique and his spiritual consciousness invaded his Niwan Palace.

The eunuch woke up slowly, his expression dull and his eyes empty and lifeless.

Tang Ning asked, "Were the boys and girls who disappeared inside and outside Bianjing ordered to be robbed by Crown Prince Chu Bangjie?"

"yes."

"What does he need those children for?"

"eat."

"What? What to eat?"

"Eat those children."

"Why?"

"Cure illnesses and practice Qigong."

"What kind of exercises do you practice?"

"have no idea."

"I see that he is conscious and in good health. Except for his unusual appetite, he doesn't look sick. What disease does he have?"

"Every time the moon is full, he will get sick and look like a madman. He needs to eat the flesh and blood of boys and girls to cure him."

"Who told the prince these methods? Is there anyone else in the East Palace besides you?"

"Immortal Master Yunyi."

"Yunyi? Who is he? When did he come to the East Palace? Where is the East Palace now?"

"Immortal Master Yunyi is a figure from the Immortal Family. He came to the East Palace three years ago and is in the Kunqing Hall of the East Palace."

"Did the prince's illness come from childhood, or was he contracted in recent years?"

"I got sick three years ago."

During the Q\u0026A between the two of them, Tang Ning had roughly figured out the whole story. It seemed that Yunyi was responsible for everything. He had practiced some evil skills and controlled Chu Bangjie, causing him to suffer from such strange diseases: "For half a month, Has a man been to Donggong Mansion before?"

"have."

"Where are the others?"

"died."

"Who can kill?"

"have no idea."

Tang Ning continued to interrogate him for more than half an hour, asking him every detail. Then his consciousness exited the Niwan Palace, and the eunuch fell straight down.

Prince Chu Bangjie contracted this strange disease three years ago. After the onset, he became confused and crazy.

It was not until Yunyi came here and passed on his treatment that the prince gradually improved. After that, the prince's appetite increased day by day. However, he still fell ill every time the moon was full. When the illness occurred, he was unconscious and looked like a madman. He needed to The flesh-eating of boys and girls has just ceased.

As for Yunyi, the eunuch didn't know his identity. He only knew that he was a figure from the immortal family. Tang Ning guessed that he was probably a rogue cultivator and that he was responsible for the prince's illness.

There was just one thing that he couldn't figure out. Why did Yunyi do this?

For a person in the spiritual world to focus on a mortal and mess around, it doesn't seem to be of any benefit to him.

And what kind of evil spell did this Chu Bangjie have to eat the baby alive to survive? Just thinking about it makes me shudder.

Tang Ning used magic to burn the eunuch's body, then returned to the East Palace Mansion and arrived at the Kunqing Hall. He escaped underground and walked inside the Kunqing Hall. The entire hall was empty, and within a radius of dozens of feet, there was no one with divine consciousness. Not feeling anyone at all.

Could it be that Xie Zhuang's actions made him alert and he escaped first? Or did the eunuch go to the wrong place? In any case, this matter cannot be delayed any longer. The eunuch's disappearance will definitely arouse Chu Bangjie's vigilance. If he also escapes, there will be some trouble.

Tang Ning walked to the prince's bedroom, where Chu Bangjie was still sitting cross-legged on the ground. He appeared, waved his hand, and his spiritual energy surged towards him.

Chu Bangjie opened his eyes and saw that his facial features were distorted and his veins were bulging, as if he was resisting the squeeze of spiritual power.

Tang Ning let out a sigh. This Chu Bangjie clearly had no spiritual power in his body. How could he resist the oppression of his own spiritual power?

Chu Bangjie let out a deep beast-like roar, and his entire body bulged with flesh. His body instantly grew several times, and the yellow robe on his body burst.

Tang Ning took a closer look and saw a hole the size of a bowl on his chest, which went straight from his chest to his abdomen and back. He was slightly shocked. This chest area is where the heart and lungs are located. Let alone a mortal, it is a monk. This blow would also result in immediate death.

This person is actually safe and sound, which is unprecedented in my life.

Tang Ning no longer held back, and spiritual energy surged out of her body, squeezing towards him. Chu Bangjie fainted immediately.

With a flash of light, he led Chu Bangjie out of the house. Before the guard at the door could shout, he fell straight down.

The two came to the wilderness. Tangning threw him away and waved his hand. All his clothes turned into powder, but he saw that his muscles were all bulging and his chest was as big as a bowl.

What shocked him was that there were traces of stitches all over the man's head and neck, as if his head had been sewn up after it fell off.

And he can't feel the beating of his heart throughout his body. This is a person without a heart.

Tang Ning's spiritual power entered his body and found that not only did this man have no heart, but none of his internal organs were intact. Except for the heart, the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys had been removed, and the other four internal organs had almost dissolved and turned into a ball of slime.

What kind of monster is this? All spiritual things in heaven and earth are indispensable for breathing and the necessary five internal organs.

This person has no internal organs, but is not affected at all? Simply unheard of.
