Hearing this, Shen Yi turned and looked at Ding Xiang.
It has to be said that there is still a certain difference between having a physical entity and not having one. Although this "entity" is essentially just the manifestation of spiritual power, Shen Yi can clearly feel her existence and her emotions.
Another change brought about by the seven years is that Shen Yi is getting more and more accustomed to having Ding Xiang around him.
As soon as you turn your head, you can see her flawless face.
"Do you mean to take something away?" Shen Yi raised the corner of his mouth, "For example, Wu Zhao, whom you raised as your daughter?"
"I didn't raise her as my daughter." Ding Xiang showed some helplessness, "I just wanted to try and see if the people we trained ourselves would be any different. The association wants to expand and increase employees. If we can train ourselves, it seems to be much easier than recruiting people from other worlds."
In other words, experiment.
Starting six years ago, Ding Xiang often used magic to enter Wu Zetian's dreams, taught her carefully, and even asked her to change her name to Wu Zhao.
曌 means the sun and the moon in the sky.
In the history of other worlds, this name was made up by Wu Zetian for herself when she became queen.
But in this world, it was Ding Xiang who gave her the name.
When the seven-year-old Wu Zhao stood up and said that she wanted to create such a character as her name, everyone was shocked. But in the end, Li Shimin not only agreed, but also canonized her as Princess Ming. After all, the token in her hand was protected by the immortal king.
Shen Yi naturally knew about this, but he also guessed Ding Xiang's intention, so he didn't say anything.
And now, Shen Yi couldn't help but feel curious.
"From what you said, do you think this person you personally trained is qualified to join the association?" Although Shen Yi knew that Ding Xiang had been taking time to train and educate this little girl who had the potential to be an empress, he did not pay too much attention to her.
"Whether you are qualified or not is up to you." Ding Xiang raised the corners of her mouth and actually revealed a slight smile.
Seeing how confident she was, Shen Yi simply turned his head and looked down.
At this time, Wu Zhao was already a student at Xianci Academy.
The little girl who held the wooden sign tightly in front of the evil ghost is now thirteen years old. In the modern society, she is just a first or second grade girl. However, in this era, many girls of this age have already married.
Therefore, although Wu Zhao had a young appearance, she was like a lotus bud about to bloom, revealing a temperament different from others.
At this time, she had no idea that the Immortal King's eyes were on her. She was just participating in a special social practice activity with a group of classmates. Her light green dress made her quite conspicuous among the crowd.
"This is Lujia Village." An elderly man who looked like a teacher stood in front of the crowd and pointed at the village behind him. "You all know the situation. This Lujia Village has a total of 1,443 people, which can be considered a medium-sized village. However, since the Immortal King canonized ghosts and gods, a total of 28 people in this village have turned into evil spirits, far more than other villages with the same number of people. Moreover, half a month ago, a ghost general-level evil spirit was born. What you have to do is to find out the reason and come up with a solution."
Shen Yi also found this proposition interesting.
It can be regarded as a characteristic of this world.
The birth of ghosts is related to the concentration of yin energy, and also to the unwillingness and resentment before a person's death. There are so many ghosts in this village, and they are all evil ghosts. Obviously, there is a reason why.
Right now.
This group of boys and girls, who looked to be no more than teenagers, were not very scared when faced with the topic of evil spirits.
Instead, they are all eager to try.
"Before you go in, you can put forward some guesses first." The master said again.
"I will come first."
A round-faced fat boy stepped forward first, his small eyes involuntarily drifting towards Wu Zhao, revealing the boy's thoughts clearly.
"The birth of evil spirits is due to hatred. I believe that there must be someone in this village who has committed evil, and that is why many people have died unjustly."
Although he looked confident, as soon as he finished speaking, another person stood up. He was a handsome young man.
"Qingque, what you said is wrong." The young man called Qingque by his nickname. "Firstly, since the Immortal King came to the world, everyone knows that if a person dies unjustly, he will turn into an evil ghost to seek revenge. It is already dangerous that someone dares to kill someone easily. Secondly, our Tang Dynasty has always strictly investigated those who do evil. If nothing happens, it may not be detected. But if an evil ghost is born, we must find out the reason. How can it allow a person to do evil for several years without being discovered?"
After listening to this, the teacher nodded secretly.
As expected, he is the Crown Prince.
That’s right, the person who answered at this time was Li Shimin’s eldest son, Li Chengqian.
What he said is exactly in line with the current situation in the Tang Dynasty.
Since the immortal came to the world, the entire Tang Dynasty has undergone earth-shaking changes in the past seven years. People have long known about the existence of ghosts and have even become accustomed to coexisting with them.
Not to mention how many people would still do evil in such a situation without fear of revenge from evil ghosts, just look at the Ghost Controlling Department and the Sun God who is responsible for monitoring and recording underground. It is impossible for them to allow such people to continue doing evil when so many evil ghosts appear.
Therefore, the answer from the fat boy, the second prince Li Tai, should be the first to be rejected.
At this time, Li Tai's face had turned red.
Seeing Li Chengqian standing next to Wu Zhao, he became even more angry and said, "You only said that what I said was wrong, but you didn't guess why this happened."
"This..." Li Chengqian's originally confident smile froze for a moment.
He really didn't expect what the reason would be.
This practice was a very important test for them. Several princes and princesses, even the sons of ministers, and the best students in their group all participated.
Scores are given based on their performance.
If you stand up and refute others but don't have your own answer, the score will probably not be very high.
Li Chengqian suddenly regretted standing up. He just couldn't stand Li Tai's eager look.
"Haha, you don't know either." Li Tai sneered a few times and was about to say something.
Wu Zhao suddenly spoke.
"Okay, you two brothers, whenever you meet, you quarrel." Wu Zhao spoke to the two princes bluntly, but her voice and tone were very pleasant to the ears, and even had a feeling of intimacy that made it difficult for people to get angry.
