There is a skill, officially named Soul Picking, colloquially known as Corpse Touching. When ghostly energy revives, one can even touch ghosts.
"Ding dang, your cheat system is online!...
"At least you'll feel at ease. Even if you see a part of a movie you don't like, don't you want to change it?"
"Hmm?" Fang Zong looked at Yinshan Ghost King in surprise: "Why do I feel like you're an old hag who watches too many Korean dramas?"
What did you say?
"Old hags who watch too many Korean dramas always like to treat reality like the tearful dramas. They can't feel comfortable if they don't argue with their husbands every day, and they have to think about making their married life thrilling... Do you know why the divorce rate is so high now? It's all because of idiots like you who watch too many Korean dramas."
"Fang Zong..."
The Yinshan Ghost King was furious, but Fang Zong ignored him and continued reading. Suddenly, a terrified cry came from outside, "Husband!" A beautiful woman rushed to Cheng Ying's side, grabbed his arm, and shoved a bamboo slip into his hand.
The bamboo slip contained a message sent back by Cheng Ying's men: Tu Anjia had discovered that the Orphan of Zhao was no longer in the palace and had already ordered: "Bring all the new servants in Jin who are between six months and one month old to me. If I see one, I will chop him three times with my sword. The Orphan of Zhao must be among them!"
"Tu Anjia, you treacherous minister, how cruel you are!" Cheng Ying cried out to the heavens.
There were more than ten thousand such babies in the State of Jin. When Tu Anjia did this, Cheng Ying suddenly realized that there were tens of thousands of babies staring at him with blank eyes, all because of his death.
He could make the princess die willingly, and he could also make Han Jue die... But tens of thousands of babies, those babies who hadn't even experienced human life yet... Cheng Ying suddenly looked into the study and found that there was no one there, and his mind became even more confused.
"Forget about who these two people are. The most important thing now is to save the Zhao family orphan and all the babies!"
Cheng Ying muttered to himself as he quickly left his family's residence.
Behind him, Fang Zong and the Yinshan Ghost King materialized and walked ahead of him, waiting for him at the entrance of the mansion.
Unlike Cheng Ying, Fang Zong and the Yinshan Ghost King were very relaxed. "Another person is going to die," the Yinshan Ghost King said with some contradiction.
Fang Zong nodded: "If we want the Zhao orphan and all the babies to live, we definitely need to create a fake baby, and someone who 'protected' the Zhao orphan will have their entire family killed. If too many people die, then which one will be the vengeful spirit?"
"It must be a deceased person, or a close relative of a deceased person, for there to be enough resentment to generate a vengeful spirit." The Yinshan Ghost King, still thinking about devouring the source of the vengeful spirit, pondered very hard: "Could it be that fake baby? Killed at a very young age, its resentment must be heavy enough. Or perhaps Tu Anjia? He schemed painstakingly, was ruthless, and in the end, it all came to nothing; his resentment must be sufficient. It could also be the fake baby's mother..."
"I don't know, let's see."
As Fang Zong predicted, Cheng Ying found an old loyal minister named Gongsun Chu, and after discussing the matter, he went to report Gongsun for hiding the Zhao family orphan.
Faced with Cheng Ying's accusation, Tu Anjia calmly interrogated him: "You have no past grudges or recent grievances with Gongsun Chujiu, so why do you accuse him of hiding the Zhao family's orphan?"
Cheng Ying remained calm in the face of danger and smiled, saying, "First, to save the lives of the people of the country, and second, to prevent my Cheng family line from dying out!" This simple sentence turned Tu Anjia's suspicion into joy, and he rushed towards Taiping Village with murderous intent to capture Gongsun Chu.
One was a wise man who used his wisdom to fight against tyranny, and the other was a powerful and treacherous minister who held sway over the state of Jin. However, they never expected that from the moment they met until they tortured Gongsun Chu, Fang Zong and the Ghost King of Yinshan stood by their side watching and chatting.
With Fang Zong's current strength, he can easily disregard the royal power of an ancient country!
"The fake baby has been found." Yinshan Ghost King suddenly looked towards the door of the hall.
A soldier carrying an infant approached and knelt down to report, "Reporting to Doctor Tu, we have found the Zhao family orphan in the earthen cave!"
Upon hearing this, Tu Anjia was overjoyed. Gongsun Chu, the old minister who had been subjected to severe torture, couldn't help but look at Cheng Ying standing beside him. At this moment, Cheng Ying's face was normal, but his hands, hidden in his sleeves, were clenched until they bled.
This baby,
This baby!
They are his own flesh and blood!
Looking at the baby, the Yinshan Ghost King's face twitched.
Fang Zong's face twitched involuntarily.
