Si Ling looked at her helplessly, and the depression just now was swept away: "So, this is why you insisted on dragging me here, so that I could investigate these things. Even if I really found out, if they are members of the royal family, it would be difficult to touch them."

Jiang Li curled his lips, crossed his arms over his chest, and looked like you don’t understand.

"Just investigate. I'll take care of the rest. I'm telling you, I have experience in robbing imperial tombs. I guarantee that no one will notice. I'll find out for you whether there is a big zongzi inside."

"…What is Zongzi?"

"Oh, it's a zombie. After death, it can move and bite people. Things that devour flesh and blood are called zongzi. To put it bluntly, they deserve to die but refuse to die, and insist on jumping around and doing evil like a human."

Si Ling was silent for a moment, not wanting to continue this topic, and hummed: "Okay, I will check when I get back. Don't come to the camp if you have nothing to do. If others see me, they will think I am a traitor, and I will not end well then."

Jiang Li chuckled and winked, "It's okay. If Yu Country doesn't want you, you can come to Qi Country. You will be the only two respected people in the future. I am the eldest and you are the second. Your status is very high."

“…No need, don’t talk to me, it gives me a headache.”

Half an hour later, several people stood by the deep pit, watching the firewood torches thrown down and the fire burning fiercely. In the firelight, those hideous faces flashed back and forth in front of their eyes, making people feel depressed and uncomfortable at a glance.

Jiang Libi smiled and waited until the fire was almost over, then urged: "We should go back. The battle will start tomorrow, and there will definitely be some casualties. Even if it's just a show, there's nothing we can do about it. Si Ling, have someone take care of the bodies when the time comes."

"Don't let those things go cheap, you know what I mean."

"Okay, I see. It's getting late. We should go back."

After Si Ling returned to the tent, he asked someone to bring an old man over.

The old man bowed and said, "I greet you, my Lord. What do you want from me?"

"Old Mo tells a divination every month. Has this month's divination been told yet? If not, could you tell me one? Not just my fortune, but the future of the world, whether it will prosper or perish."

"Is there a savior, and where is the misfortune?"

Mo Ji raised his head with a look of surprise. He thought that the Venerable wanted to tell the fortune and whether the Yu Kingdom could finally rise to the top. He didn't expect that he was asking about the survival of the world. This... How could it be predicted? It was too big.

This is a prying into the secrets of heaven and will shorten your life.

Just as he was about to refuse, he heard Si Ling's voice: "Mr. Mo, these two hexagrams must be calculated. If they are not calculated clearly, it will be meaningless even if you win. As long as you are willing to calculate, you can ask for anything."

Hearing this, Mo Ji's heart moved, his eyes flickered, and he cautiously probed: "My Lord, the only obsession in this life is that I am worried about my little granddaughter. If you can let her serve you by your side and serve you tea and water."

"Even if it costs me my life, I will definitely calculate these two hexagrams for you. The rise and fall of the world is the first hexagram, and the savior is the second hexagram. If I unfortunately die, then the child will..."

Si Ling readily agreed: "Okay, if anything happens, I will protect Old Mo's granddaughter. As long as I am alive, I will ensure that she will live a life of wealth and peace without worries."

A relieved smile appeared on Mo Ji's wrinkled face.

"Okay, spying on the secrets of heaven requires more preparation. I will go down and prepare first. Once everything is ready, we will start as soon as possible to avoid any accidents."

"Thank you, Mu Li, you go and protect Mr. Mo."

"Yes, Lord."

After everyone left, Si Ling was found sitting there, motionless, thinking about something. He supported his forehead with one hand, and a look of sadness appeared on his usually calm face, which made people feel distressed.

three days later

Mo Ji prepared his fortune-telling tools and waited until dark. He looked at the starry sky, which was obscured by the dark clouds. The light was dim and he felt uneasy. "My Lord, look at those stars. Each one represents a country."

"When I was about to start a new country, I predicted good luck with my divination and the stars looked normal. But now they are obviously dimming, and only one star is normal. Something is really wrong."

Si Ling looked up and saw that the star was in the east. He asked calmly, "Which country is the star that looks normal?"

"...Qiguo, although I don't know why, it is indeed Qiguo."

"Well, thank you Mr. Mo for your divination."

Mo Ji placed the tortoise shell, copper coins, and other items needed for divination, and said solemnly: "My Lord, I will begin now. No matter what happens later, as long as I don't faint, don't worry about me."

After saying that, he started to move his hands and closed his eyes to count carefully. It was smooth at first, but became more and more difficult later. All he saw was scarlet red. The sky was full of blood and even the moon was red.

Since ancient times, the red moon has been a sign of great misfortune...

An unknown amount of time had passed, but Mo Ji's body was still shaking. He let out a "wow" and spat out a large amount of blood. His body swayed, and he grabbed the table in front of him. He calmed himself down, then slowly opened his eyes, tears and blood flowing from his eyes.

He said in a hoarse voice, "My Lord, I only saw half of it. A blood moon appeared, corpses were everywhere, and all I could see was blood. There was wailing everywhere. This is a sign of great misfortune. We cannot stay here for long. The hexagram is completely different from before."

"Something must have changed here, which is why it is like this."

Si Ling remained silent and continued to ask, "You haven't finished watching it, right? In other words, whether the world will be good or bad in the end is just a guess, not everything has been seen, right?"

Mo Ji hesitated for a moment, then nodded with difficulty: "Yes, what the Lord said makes sense, but I didn't see any living people, all I saw were corpses. Even if I saw it all, I'm afraid the possibility of good luck is very low."

"I always have a bad feeling. The ground beneath my feet seems to be emitting a bloody smell. Even if the Lord doesn't look for me, I will come to find the Lord. This place is ominous. It's best to leave."

"...We will discuss this later. Mr. Mo, take another look. Where is the savior?"

Si Ling followed his hand, looked at the stars in the sky, and guessed: "You... you mean, the savior is in Qi Country, right?"

Mo Ji felt a little dizzy, and after a pause he nodded heavily: "Yes, my prediction is correct. There is only one possibility, and it is in Qi State. According to the rumors I heard before, I guess this person is probably the eldest princess. Of course, it could also be someone else."

"Whether the rumor is true or not, I don't know. It's either the eldest princess or her child. Mortals don't have such ability. This is all I know... That's all."

After saying that, he closed his eyes and fell straight backwards. Mu Li stretched out his hand to catch him and exhaled: "My Lord, I will take Mr. Mo to rest first and ask someone to come and take a look."
