Jinyiwei's psychic case: the opening is Lingbo Weibu

"Sir, this case is indeed a difficult one!"

After Wang Qinian finished saying this meaningfully, Xu Shan signaled the captain to go and seal off the scene first.

He pulled Wang Qinian, who was hesitant to speak, aside.

"Sir, have you heard of the 'Witchcraft Rebellion' during the reign of the previous emperor?"

"Hmm? Wait a minute."

As he said this, Xu Shan pressed his thumb against his chest, exerted all his strength, and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Sir! You..."

"No problem, I used the Primordial Qi that is not suitable for my level."

However, for Xu Shan, it was all worth it.

After all, he comprehended the 'innate sword intent' in the powerful collision.

This was the first skill he had comprehended without relying on the system after arriving at Gaowu Daming.

With these 'Three Swords of Zhengyang', Xu Shan would not need to forcibly open the six pulse acupoints when encountering the Daluo spell of Zhenyuan.

This is Xu Shan’s biggest gain from this battle!

After taking the Zhen Yuan Dan handed to him by Wang Qinian and swallowing it, Xu Shan gestured for him and said, "Go on. I know very little about the secrets of the capital."

"Ah? Lord Ji, I haven't told you about it?"

"Who? Lao Ji? Is he involved in this 'Witchcraft Rebellion'?"

"Correct!"

Facing the astonished gaze of his master, Wang Qinian slowly told the story!

The late emperor had one son and two daughters!

The eldest son, Zhu Youteng, was designated as the crown prince as soon as he was born.

However, even when he reached adulthood, he still had not awakened his imperial meridians.

Even because of his weak body, his strength is far inferior to that of his peers.

The Ming Dynasty was founded on military power.

Such a prince naturally suffered criticism.

Until the 27th year of Qi Tian (the previous emperor's title), the crown prince, who quelled the rebellion in the southwest on behalf of the emperor, not only awakened the imperial vein, but his strength also reached the seventh-grade master level.

From then on, the prince's prestige grew day by day, especially after the late emperor became obsessed with Taoism, he even took charge of the entire court.

It was also during those years that witchcraft became rampant and wreaked havoc on the world!

There were even cases where the people of an entire city mysteriously disappeared over a period of several months.

Moreover, there is more than one!

Hearing this, Xu Shan frowned and asked, "Is this related to the technique that the former Crown Prince practiced?"

"Your Excellency, please understand! The former Crown Prince's method of increasing his own strength is the blood sacrifice of the Witchcraft Cult—Soul Devouring and Life Destroying."

"The poison has entered the body, and living beings have been sacrificed. Heaven is angry and people are resentful, and uprisings have broken out in various places."

"The late emperor was furious and ordered Lord Ji, the deputy commander of the Guards, to thoroughly investigate the case."

"As the truth came to light, the former crown prince used the poison to attempt to assassinate the emperor in the 32nd year of the Qitian era, leading to a coup d'état."

"It's known in history as the 'Witchcraft Incident'!"

"I don't know the specific details or the process. I only know that from then on, the prince disappeared and Lord Ji was demoted to Yuhang."

"The Empress Dowager entered the palace, Prime Minister Lin rose rapidly to prominence, and the Donglin Party gradually gained control of the government. Until the late Emperor passed away!"

"Ascend to heaven? Is that true?" Xu Shan asked with his eyes wide open upon hearing this.

Hearing this, Wang Qinian laughed awkwardly and said, "That's what they all say. The imperial mausoleum only contains the late emperor's cenotaph."

"Then what's going on with this infantile illness?"

"Infant disease is one of the means used by the Crown Prince to control his ministers when he was in control of the imperial court."

"This poison has the miraculous effect of prolonging life, enhancing realms, and maintaining eternal youth. However, it requires continuous use at regular intervals. Once it is stopped, not only will one age rapidly, but also become bloodthirsty and die in a horrific manner."

"Logically, this magic should have been destroyed long ago after the 'Witchcraft Rebellion'. How come..."

When he said this, Xu Shan said coldly: "Nine Yin White Bone Claw is still a taboo in the martial arts world. Didn't Gu Dayong practice it for so long and bring disaster to so many people?"

At this point, Xu Shan glanced at the cunning Wang Qinian and added, "I know you're pretending to be ignorant while knowing the truth. What are you trying to lead me on?"

"It's nothing more than this case. It may involve the Crown Prince's old party, and even the Donglin Party and those nobles in the palace are behind it."

"Otherwise, how could the Hanging Temple, a royal temple, dare to aid the tyrant in his evil deeds?"

"Sir, it's really..."

"Shut your asshole."

After hearing what Xu Shan said, Wang Qinian, who was about to flatter him, closed his mouth with an awkward smile.

A few minutes later, the two arrived at a place that looked like a place for monks to practice asceticism from the outside.
