Chapter 73: Killing the King and Seizing Fortune
Killing the king and seizing his fortune, as the name suggests, means killing the king and depriving him of his fortune to benefit oneself.
But Princess Yiqing was only the crown prince at that time, so how could this evil magic work?
"Kill the king and seize his fortune?" Regardless of the situation on the field, Guan Tianqin felt that the word was very familiar. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "There was a woman named Yiqing, dignified and beautiful. She married the crown prince of the Northern Kingdom. On the day of the wedding, the crown prince ascended the throne."
Qin Qinsen was speechless after hearing another piece of unofficial history. When he heard the word "ascend the throne", he came to his senses. "The prince became the emperor, and the princess is naturally the queen. She can barely be considered a 'king'."
Regardless of whether Guan Tianqin was the reincarnation of the Emperor of Liang, everyone present looked at him with strange eyes.
"Dr. Guan, you have a really good brain. It was so useful three thousand years ago..." Boss Huang changed the subject, "If you are really the reincarnation of her father, then that's really cruel."
Princess Yiqing's story tells of a woman who died because her father cast a spell to kill the emperor and seize his destiny. She suffered horrific torture and could not rest in peace even after death. Three thousand years later, Guan Tianqin, the emperor's reincarnation, personally opened his former daughter's grave and brought her back to the world.
Under the influence of the jewel mountain, Princess Yiqing lost her strength, but it did not prevent her from speaking. "My good father, incompetence is your true nature. Why force yourself to be a wise ruler? The fate of a king is destined by heaven, and it is not something that a waste like you can bear. Without me, the Liang Kingdom will surely be destroyed and will never exist again!"
After hearing about the royal secrets of three thousand years ago, Qin Qinsen moved to block Guan Tianqin and the others, and locked eyes with Princess Yiqing. "The regicide and fortune-stealing technique will forever banish the caster from the afterlife. He's not your father. Your father, along with the Liang Kingdom, has long since vanished under the wheel of time."
"No, I won't admit my mistake." Princess Yiqing didn't believe what Qin Qinsen said, "The Liang royal family is destined by heaven and is blessed by heaven. Even if they massacred the city and sacrificed blood, they have never been punished by heaven."
"How do you know that the demise of Liang State was not a punishment from heaven?"
Qin Qinsen smiled coldly, deliberately provoking her. "Even killing the king and seizing his fortune couldn't pass on the Liang Kingdom. Doesn't that prove that what you just said was all self-consolation? The Liang Kingdom's king was unjust, foolish and incompetent, and the people lived in misery. It was destroyed in the chaotic world. What a reasonable ending."
"You are just a scholar, what do you know!" Although Princess Yiqing hated her father, she attached great importance to the country. "If they hadn't used evil magic to harm me like this, Liang State would never have been like this!"
"It's all destroyed, so who cares about this? Now you can't even protect yourself, and after death you'll suffer the pain of thousands of ants gnawing at your heart. Why don't you tell me the origin of this technique so I can be free soon."
Princess Yiqing snorted coldly, "If you knew how to break the curse, why would you sleep for a thousand years?"
Sounds reasonable...
Feeling the gazes of the three people behind him, Qin Qinsen cleared his throat, "Ahem, if, I mean if. Breaking it violently..."
"Absolutely not!"
The reaction was so strong, it was indeed Guan Tianqin who said, "These are all cultural relics, belonging to the country! They must not be damaged in any way."
His tone was serious. If Boss Huang and Hong Guangbai hadn't held him back, he would have already pounced on the Jewel Mountain and used his body as a shield, fearing that Qin Qinsen would suddenly attack him.
"Tsk, what's the rush?" Qin Qinsen continued to speak to Princess Yiqing without turning his head. "The regicide and fortune-stealing technique should be based on formations, with magical instruments and talismans as sacrifices. I'm sure there's something else restraining you besides this pile of jewels... I guess it's the golden embroidered robe."
The old ghost who had been following Boss Huang's nephew had only been dead for over three hundred years, but he could now wander around under the scorching sun and come and go freely in the Siyun Hall where the ghost-binding formation was set up.
Princess Yiqing had been dead for three thousand years. Even if the regicide technique still eroded her luck, making it difficult for her to absorb the essence of the moonlight and hindering her from becoming a ghost immortal, in three thousand years, even Yugong could have moved a mountain thousands of times. How much more so was a woman so gifted and intelligent that she could be promoted to the position of crown prince in a feudal dynasty?
Although he is not a ghost immortal, he is enough to make the underworld be on high alert.
But once the dusty mountain of jewels appeared, Princess Yiqing and all the burial objects lost their ability to move, which seemed irrational no matter how you looked at it.
After all, the effects of the Jewel Mountain weren't particularly strong, but anyone with a strong will could withstand them. For example, Boss Huang and Hong Guangbai struggled in a trance, but regained consciousness after a while.
Then it could only be that Princess Yiqing was restricted by something else, and that the Jewel Mountain was exerting force at the same time, trapping her in the regicide and fortune-stealing technique.
"If you had been by my side three thousand years ago, perhaps the ending would have been different."
Without denying it, Princess Yiqing patted her golden robe and said, "Every strand of gold thread is a magical instrument, and every piece of jade is a talisman."
As if responding to her words, the golden robe emitted a dark golden light, and each ray of light was an ominous sign.
Without looking back, Qin Qinsen knew what was in Guan Tianqin's eyes - they cannot be touched, they cannot be destroyed, they are all historical relics and national property!
"If one of them is removed, the Regicide and Fortune-stealing Technique will lose its effectiveness and naturally become useless, right or wrong?"
'yes. '
"If I can do this, whether you voluntarily enter the underworld and become an official or reincarnate, you must not cause any trouble for Guan Tianqin, the reincarnation of your father, in any way."
Princess Yiqing was silent for a long while. The tears and blood in her eyes stopped flowing at some point. She stared at Qin Qinsen with her scarlet pupils. After a long moment, she nodded.
Just when Boss Huang was about to remind Qin Qinsen that this woman was most likely trying to cheat, Qin Qinsen clapped his hands in satisfaction, "In that case, for the sake of our almost non-existent sense of trust, we can only ask all the gods to be witnesses."
"Hahahaha, since Master Qin said so, I'll be the representative of the underworld for once."
The City God emerged laughing. Compared to last time, he looked much more relaxed tonight. He wasn't wearing his official uniform, but rather casual pants and a polo shirt. He looked relaxed, having probably been watching the excitement for quite some time.
"You little City God, you're so arrogant." Princess Yiqing said expressionlessly. She had originally wanted to break free from the restraints and kill Guan Tianqin to avenge herself. But now, it seemed like she might be in trouble.
"Qin Qinsen, the 46th generation disciple of Daoxuan Sect, respectfully invites the ancestor."
Qin Qinsen made two plans. One was to easily resolve the curse on Jewel Mountain and have a late-night snack when he got home. The other was that he was a bit unlucky and it would be risky to rely on himself, so...
"Ten bottles of Moutai, please accept them, Grandmaster."
The wine splashed in the air, forming a beautiful arc.
"Good boy, keep your promise!"
"Greetings to the Heavenly Lord." The City God saluted respectfully and quietly changed into official uniform.
"No need for formalities, this wine is pretty good. No wonder that guy asked me to find you."
The visitor still did not show up. Everyone was puzzled when they saw bottles of Moutai floating up out of thin air and then suddenly disappear.
"Before heaven and earth bear witness, swear an oath. Yiqing, are you ready?"
The ancestor suddenly changed the subject, speaking in a cold and condescending tone.
"I..." Princess Yiqing hesitated, her eyes drifting towards Guan Tianqin. Hatred swirled in her eyes, and even with her head lowered, she couldn't hide her resentment.
