"It's still a short-lived ghost after all."
Zhang Mingtu couldn't help but sigh when he saw his own handwriting at the end.
However, the words in the biography also made Zhang Mingtu feel moved.
"The future me already knows that 'I' am just a part of the future. Is he paving the way for me?"
The final tone was written quite clearly, and it was obvious that the future self already knew that he was just a possible future reflected in the Book of Life and Death.
"Now that I've understood this, I think I'll be able to make more free and bold attempts in the future."
Zhang Mingtu made a secret decision in his heart.
Not all memories will belong to him, but some of the pain will still be projected onto himself. He can also clearly know that the fight between dragon and tiger in the future is an inevitable event.
"The Heavenly Dragon Spirit Refining Fist and the Tiger Demon Bone Refining Fist are actually external alchemy methods. Relying on external objects to observe their struggle and fight is a mistake from the beginning to the end."
Zhang Mingtu couldn't have expected such an answer.
"I don't know what kind of state this ancestor went through back then, and what his descendants went through. They actually lost all these inheritances, and didn't even pass down the most fundamental and basic methods..."
Zhang Mingtu was filled with more doubts, but he quickly calmed down because the most important thing that his future brother had fought for him in the Book of Life and Death was already emerging. He hurriedly wrote down the corresponding things.
The first thing that appeared in the Book of Life and Death was not the extremely solid Taoist magic, but the detailed investigation into the death of Rui Hai's son.
"Rui Hai's father died early, and he was raised by his mother. His mother's greatest obsession in her life was to have a large family of children and grandchildren, especially her son..."
"Rui Hai himself has no flaws, except for one thing: he is extremely filial. Those who secretly harmed Rui Hai's son, or the forces behind them, want to use this to stop Rui Hai..."
"His son died quietly. People say he was weak and sickly, but Ruihai himself was blessed with the imperial dragon energy and possessed extraordinary talent. His wife also had a strong constitution. Ruihai also often used his talent to nurture his son. In any case, he shouldn't have died young due to illness..."
"The internal investigation also came to nothing. After I climbed the mountain, I asked the old Taoist priest about it. He gave me several guesses. It might be the witchcraft of the Miao border. There are insects that feed on talent, and only talent can make them grow..."
"Rui Hai must have received some kind of warning, so he used his talent to warm his son in advance, allowing the poisonous insect to grow and survive in his wife's body. After his son was born, he had no talent, so the poisonous insect went crazy and devoured his blood, causing him to die young..."
Zhang Mingtu was shocked when he saw this. He never thought that there were such vicious witchcraft techniques circulating in the Miao area, located in Yunzhou.
Yunzhou was already a frontier area of Daxia, and Daxia paid a huge price to pacify this place back then.
The Yunzhou was filled with miasma and numerous poisonous insects, which naturally produced a great number of poisonous creatures. In addition, warriors nurtured them with their blood, sweat and true energy, making them even more bizarre and ferocious.
After being suppressed by Daxia, he obtained some of Daxia's cultivation methods, and used the methods of refining tools and treasures to refine the poisonous insects, making the poisonous insects more secretive and invisible, leaving no trace.
It was originally located in a frontier area, and its practice was not very famous. It was not recognized by mainstream practitioners, who believed it was just an unorthodox practice.
The real reason why he became famous throughout the world was that he once poisoned the ruler of Daxia with a Gu worm.
However, this is more of a rumor in the world, and no one knows the real details.
All we know is that after that generation, the witchcraft in Yunzhou suffered a severe blow, and a large army swept through that area. Even at a heavy price, many traditions were still severed.
"You actually used such vicious means!"
Zhang Mingtu was shocked. He had been threatened by the Wang and Li families in Jianyi before. However, at that time, his status was not high. He was just a small flag of the Jinyiwei, so the threat he faced was not serious.
Moreover, he did not have enough influence, so he directly destroyed the family and the clan, and the other party's real powerful means were not used at all.
When encountering a person like Rui Hai, the methods they use are much more sinister and vicious, and also much more covert.
"Witchcraft?"
Zhang Mingtu felt that this was very possible. If this witchcraft was powerful and concealed enough, it would be best to poison Ruihai to death directly.
But Ruihai did not really touch the fundamental interests of these wealthy families at the beginning. He built river embankments and cracked down on corruption. These were just things an ordinary honest official would do, and would not cause anyone to be too cruel.
Moreover, if the poisonous insect wants to break through the imperial dragon energy and cause harm to humans, it will have to pay a huge price.
The requirements for the poisonous insects are also extremely high. At first, Ruihai thought that he could not meet the "standards" for using such high-level poisonous insects.
Later, Ruihai took action, which directly dealt a heavy blow to the wealthy and powerful families. He checked their land and household registrations, which really undermined their foundation.
But Ruihai was also very skillful. He directly submitted a memorial to the emperor and even won the favor of the Prime Minister.
If such a person died from witchcraft, it would hurt the nerves of the officials in the court, especially the current emperor, who would probably have to mobilize the army directly.
I'm afraid that all the people involved in this matter in the entire Jiangnan area will be killed.
After all, if there is something hidden in the land holdings of tax collectors, it is only a local problem, and it is like boiling a frog in warm water.
Although it will shake the foundation of the imperial court in the long run, the imperial court will only handle it according to normal procedures and will not directly use high-level standards.
But if you hurt His Majesty's nerves, he will take the initiative to attack you.
If the corresponding poison was placed on Ruihai's son, a child who was only a few years old, it would not attract much attention.
The corresponding investigators have no way to detect such covert means. I am afraid that only higher-level investigators can truly detect such situations.
The death of a county magistrate's son would not trigger an investigation of this level.
The investigation report contains all kinds of speculations and ideas in great detail.
Zhang Mingtu felt a chill in his heart after reading it, but it also mentioned corresponding preventive measures.
Without the nourishment of talent, the poisonous insect will not be able to germinate and will starve to death in the embryonic state.
Moreover, there are many taboos about this insect. The person who casts the poison needs to be nearby, and its mother body also needs to eat enough talent. When the talent is damaged, its ability to think and respond will be much worse than before.
"If this speculation is true, then we can take care of Rui Hai's son..."
Although he had never met Ruihai before, Zhang Mingtu really wanted to do something for this official who really stood up for the people.
Of course, the prerequisite is to protect yourself and resolutely not reveal any trace to avoid getting into trouble.
The other party is too strong and has used this kind of witchcraft, which is a very sensitive matter.
The other party will definitely do whatever it takes to cover up.
