The Demon Queen of Divine Doctor is not to be trifled with

Chapter 470 The Ying Family’s Treasure

In the carriage on the way back to the mansion, Ji Rong asked Ye Wenyan: "Master, do you think there is something wrong with the Ying family member who delivered the message?"

Ye Wenyan shook his head, "It's not him who has a problem, it's something else that has a problem."

Zhuier thought for a moment and said, "Is it about the thing lost in the secret room?"

Ye Wenyan said, "According to the tribesmen, Ying Peng thought that it was a very important thing and wanted to take another look at it before he died. But the thing disappeared, and the secret room was destroyed at that moment. Do you believe that there is no connection between the two?" She looked at Ji Rong, then at Zhuier, and said, "Let me test you, what is the connection?"

The two thought about it, and Ji Rong said first: "Perhaps that is the biggest secret of the Ying family, and it is also the thing that the secret room really needs to protect. It was stolen, and the person who stole it also changed the self-destruct mechanism. If no one finds out that the thing is missing, the self-destruct mechanism will not be triggered. Once the secret of the missing thing is discovered, the secret room will self-destruct."

Zhuier asked: "Then why did it take so long to self-destruct this time? Shouldn't that kind of thing be completed in an instant?"

Ji Rong said: "Maybe the thief's skills were not good enough and he didn't understand it! But he was able to steal things even though there was a self-destruct mechanism in the secret room, so he is really capable."

Zhuier slapped his thigh and said, "What real ability does he have? If it's up to me, it's very likely that he stole the things on his own! If only the head of the family can enter the secret room, then the head of the family stole the things himself. After stealing the things, he couldn't bear to leave the Ying family and didn't want to run away, so he changed the mechanism. When an outsider finds out that something is missing, the secret room will self-destruct, and then the person who discovered the secret will be smashed to death inside. In this way, no one will know that he, the head of the family, is actually a thief, and he can keep control of the Ying family, and then pass it on to whoever he wants."

Ji Rong followed her thoughts and soon understood what Zhuier meant: "If it's not Ying Peng, then it must be the previous head of the family! I heard that the previous head of the Ying family died in an accident. He encountered a landslide while he was out."

Zhuier was amused by what he heard, "This makes sense! He didn't expect to die unexpectedly, so he didn't arrange for the next head of the family. Ying Peng should have been the younger generation with the best craftsmanship in the Ying family, so he became the head of the family. But he probably didn't check the secret rooms one by one over the years. After all, they are all family members and there is still trust. Who would have thought that the previous head of the family would rob the company!"

Ji Rong continued, "Until Ying Peng's death, he had a wish in his heart. He wanted to take a look at the things that his family had been protecting for a long time before his death. As a result, the self-destruct mechanism was activated when the box was opened." She sighed and said, "It was also thanks to the poor craftsmanship of the previous head of the family that the self-destruct mechanism was not modified properly, so the secret room was not destroyed instantly. Unfortunately, the things are gone."

"Miss." Zhuier asked Ye Wenyan, "When Ying Nantian and Uncle Ying Wu went in to check, did they find that the thing was gone? Ordinarily, they should have found it! Then why didn't anyone notice anything unusual after they came out?"

Ji Rong also had doubts about this, so she and Zhuier waited to hear Ye Wenyan's analysis.

This question made Ye Wenyan sneer, "There is only one reason why it is not abnormal, that is, they don't know that the things are gone. Or in other words, Ying Nantian doesn't know that the things are gone!"

"Ying Nantian didn't know?" Ji Rong suddenly realized, "Ying Nantian went in with his fifth uncle, and they must have checked separately after entering. If the fifth uncle told Ying Nantian that the important things were still there, Ying Nantian would not have gone out of his way to verify it."

Zhuier concluded, "Uncle Ying Wu was the one favored by the previous patriarch! The stolen thing should also be in Uncle Ying Wu's hands!" Then the question arises again, "For so many years, he has never thought of overthrowing the patriarch and taking over the position himself, and the Ying family has never heard of any major incidents. He just took that thing from the previous patriarch. What's the purpose? What is that thing?"

Ye Wenyan shook her head, "I don't know." She looked at Ji Rong, "Have you ever heard of related legends?" Ji Rong thought for a moment and said, "Yes. It is said that the Ying family has a treasure that can capture souls. No matter who it is, as long as the Ying family members operate the treasure, their souls will be absorbed into the treasure, and the life of that person will be decided by the Ying family members." Ji Rong thought carefully, "This happened about a hundred years ago, right? I also heard about it from the predecessors of the Ji family. They said that the Ying family was once very prosperous because of the treasure. Not only did they study the craftsmanship, but many of them entered the court, and the highest official position was the prime minister."

Ye Wenyan frowned when he heard this. Did the craftsman family have such a glorious past? "I always thought that the Ying family had passed down the skills of skilled craftsmen from generation to generation. Even if they were to be glorious, they would be glorious in this field. How come they all became officials in the court?"

Ji Rong was helpless. "It is said that because the Ying family has a treasure, everyone is afraid of it, even the emperor. So any request from the Ying family will be met as much as possible, almost giving them whatever they want. The Ji family once suspected that the thing was a magic weapon left over from when the spiritual energy was still there, and they wanted to investigate, but were stopped by the Emperor. In the words of the Emperor, it was just a plaything, and the ability to seduce souls was all imagined out of thin air, and it was not important enough for the Ji family to participate in the investigation. And the Emperor also said that the Ying family will not be able to be arrogant for long with the treasure, and will soon return to where they belong."

Zhuier became addicted to listening to it. "So what happened next? Did you really get back to where you were supposed to be? How long did it take?"

Ji Rong said: "Less than ten years."

"so fast?"

"Yeah." Ji Rong nodded. "The glory came and faded quickly. It only took ten years for the Ying family to be reduced to their original form and return to the Qiqiao Pavilion, continuing to be a group of skilled craftsmen. It is said that this happened because the Ying family's treasure lost its effect and could no longer capture people's souls, so no one was afraid of the Ying family anymore. Some people also said that the ten years were just to give the Ying family more time, but in fact, the treasure was no longer usable in less than three years. Because no one has ever seen the Ying family use that thing, when people think back, they only think that the Ying family still has the treasure in their hands, but only uses it to scare people and never really uses it again. At first, the people who were scared were still afraid, but as time went on, people also discovered the clues and were no longer afraid of the Ying family."

Zhuier was very interested in the treasure and kept guessing what it was. Since Lord Emperor said that it was not a magic weapon, it must have been made by the skilled craftsmen of the Ying family. But what kind of thing would it be to be so enchanting?

Ji Rong said she didn't know. "Later, Lord Emperor never mentioned it again. People just thought it was a farce. After many years, no one mentioned it anymore. But the Ji family has always known one thing, that is, the Ying family has never given up on that treasure. They have always kept it hidden, hoping that one day they can restart it and push the Ying family to the peak again."

Zhuier asked Ye Wenyan: "Miss, can you guess what that thing is?"

Ye Wenyan shook his head, "I can't guess. How can I guess something that's over a hundred years old?"

"Miss, do you think there is anything in this world that can really captivate people?"

Ye Wenyan did not answer immediately, but Ji Rong thought for a moment and said, "There were some in the past, when the spiritual power of heaven and earth still existed. Although I have not experienced it, the Ji family's classics record in detail what happened more than 400 years ago, so there must be such a magical instrument."

"But that was more than 400 years ago." Ye Wenyan opened his mouth and said, "The spiritual power of heaven and earth is still there, so the magic tools can be used. But more than a hundred years ago, the spiritual power of heaven and earth was gone, and no magic tools in the world could have the effect of bewitching souls. Although I know there must be something that can bewitch souls without the blessing of spiritual power, I still don't think that the Ying family has that kind of thing."

"Is there really such a thing?" Zhuier opened his mouth wide, feeling that this statement was too horrifying. It was so soul-stirring! If it really existed, wouldn't it mean that you could kill anyone you wanted? Even after death, the soul wouldn't be free?

Ji Rong was also frightened after hearing this, "Miss, do you know where that thing is? Who has it?"

Ye Wenyan shook her head and said, "I don't know." She was not sure whether there was such a thing in this world, but at least Mu Jingyu had it.

The main spirit of the Mu family is able to give birth to the Yin and judge the Yang, and can travel back and forth to the underworld several times. Naturally, he can hold the thing that controls the souls in his hands.

That thing is used by the Mu family and does not require spiritual power. It is different from the Soul-Catching Banner she used before. The Soul-Catching Banner can collect human souls under the influence of spiritual power, store them in the banner, and refine them in the banner so that she can use them.

But the Mu family's methods in this regard are obviously much more sophisticated than hers. They don't even need a banner to store souls. They can directly communicate with the underworld and dominate everything after human death.

That night, the First-Rank General's Mansion was extremely noisy.

When the old lady returned to her room, she found that it had been completely ransacked. Not only had the wall paint been stripped off, but half of the floor tiles had also been taken away. Not to mention the bed, table, and chairs. There was nothing left, not even her underwear.

She originally wanted to go back to the house and sit for a while to heal the shock she had experienced today, but when she came back she was even more shocked and almost died.

Ye Jingsheng's situation was not much better. The Qihua Pavilion, which had just been renovated, was smashed again, and two large holes appeared on the wall. The window frames of Xin Madam's Tingxue Pavilion were removed, and Ye Wushuang's situation was even worse. The roof tiles were removed, and you could see the stars when you looked up.

Ye Jing was so angry that his heart was pounding, but he had no choice. The Sixth Prince had done it, and he didn't have the courage to attack Prince Su's mansion.

Of course, he didn't have the courage to take his anger out on Ye Wenyan.

After choosing and choosing, they finally chose Xiao Shubai and Ye Hongzhuang.

He said to Chang Xueqiao: "It is the Xiao family that caused all of this today. I originally wanted to give you a harmonious and beautiful home. You and Wushuang's yard and house are all new inside and out. Who would have thought it would turn out like this? I can't swallow this anger no matter what!"
