Inside the pub.
Many people looked at the mummy Ying Zheng.
They were all very interested in this leader of the Qin Dynasty, especially wanting to see how he differed from the other Ying Zheng.
Even Ye Fan and others cast their eyes over.
Feeling that all eyes were focused on him, the mummy Ying Zheng felt inexplicably nervous.
He thought himself extraordinary, but he also knew that he was nothing compared to the guests in the tavern.
There really are immortals here!
He had even heard from others earlier that some people were more powerful than the Lord of the Immortal World.
Suddenly, a series of light curtains floated in front of him.
[The Book of Curse, worth 10,000 Spacetime Coins.]
["Yin Yang Five Elements Magic Formula", worth 2000 Space-Time Coins. ]
…
When he saw the contents of the light curtain clearly, the mummy Ying Zheng frowned subconsciously.
The "Book of Curses" that turned himself and the Qin soldiers into clay figurines is only worth 10,000 time and space coins?
The "Yin Yang and Five Elements Secrets" that was regarded as a treasure by the alchemists and that I spent a lot of effort to obtain was only worth two thousand?
He was secretly disappointed, but he also realized the gap between himself and those top powerhouses.
The others all showed expected expressions.
Qin Shi Huang looked at the "Book of Curses" which was ranked first with great interest.
When he saw the specific description, his eyes suddenly narrowed and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
"No wonder that woman cursed even the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty!"
He originally thought that Ziyuan cursed so many people because she was afraid that the truth would be exposed and she would be hunted down. But after reading the description in this book, he realized that this was not the case.
This book does indeed contain the secret of longevity.
The caster can chant spells and use the magic power contained in this book to curse others, causing their bodies to rot and melt under the curse, completely turning into a clay figurine.
The sudden change is only superficial; it takes a long time to truly transform into a clay figurine.
During this process, the cursed person will experience long-term double torture from both body and soul.
The person who created this book did not just want to torture his enemies. The caster of the curse could also benefit from it and take the little vitality lost by the cursed for himself.
Every time you successfully curse a person, you can gain approximately one year of life, and this life span can also be passed on to others.
The curse limit for this book is 10,000 people.
Once the curse is broken, the freed clay figurines will become undead monsters.
Years of torture have twisted their souls and will bring disaster to the world! In ancient times, Taoist priests often borrowed this book to prolong their lives in the name of "living sacrifice", which brought many disasters.
Therefore it has another name, "The Source of Disaster".
Because it hurt Tianhe, it was listed as a banned book and sealed away.
The fact that Ziyuan was able to take it out clearly showed that she was well prepared.
"Could it be that she is the remnant of the Six Kingdoms and has a grudge against the Qin Dynasty?" After reading the description clearly, the mummy Ying Zheng suddenly had an idea in his mind.
It couldn't be that she was so devoted to Guo Ming that she was willing to sacrifice Daqin to let the two of them live forever? Looking at the book in his hand, he shook his head secretly.
Even though he was autocratic and had a strong desire for immortality, he understood that this book should not be abused.
Without a strong force to check and balance it, he would inevitably suffer a backlash if he used it rashly! If he had known about this thing before entering the tavern, he might have been tempted, but now he had no need for it at all.
He chose to sell everything without hesitation.
After obtaining more than 10,000 time and space coins, the mummy Ying Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.
He did not buy wine immediately, but turned around and walked to the treasure chamber.
He had learned the rules of the tavern from others earlier.
When he saw that there was indeed a "Book of Curses" in the collection and that it was priced at 10,000 time and space coins, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Done!
The mummy Ying Zheng clenched his fist lightly and immediately decided to buy it.
Ten thousand time and space coins were deducted, and a book appeared in front of him.
Unlike the heavy and messy appearance when it was first sold to the tavern, the "Book of Curses" that reappeared in his hands had become a thin volume and looked much more delicate.
He even felt that his life was at stake with this book.
As he got the book, the strange feeling of stagnation in his body disappeared.
He did not stay in the pub for long, and left immediately, holding the book in his hands.
…
Inside and outside the Apang Palace.
It was dead silent at this time.
Not only the Qin soldiers but also the people in the palace were turned into clay figurines.
When Ziyuan picked up the book, she had already used up all 10,000 curse quotas.
Except for a few lucky ones who escaped, the rest of the people all met with accidents.
A eunuch who had just returned from purchasing something was looking at the clay figurines in panic.
He was the first to discover this anomaly.
How did the guards guarding the palace turn into clay figurines? Seeing a woman riding away with her hands covering her abdomen, he walked inside with doubt.
Everything I saw along the way, whether generals, soldiers, palace maids or eunuchs, had turned into this appearance.
Some people stood there with a dazed look on their faces, some opened their arms in panic, and some opened their mouths as if they wanted to shout out loud.
When he saw that the imperial palace in the distance was also quiet, the eunuch named Zhao Gao was so scared that he fell to his knees and shouted for mercy.
He knelt tremblingly for a long time, and when he didn't find anything abnormal with himself, he bravely stood up again.
He saw that the general who was once so powerful in the court had turned into a clay figurine, and that several eunuchs in the inner court were no different from mud and stone!
The palace was dead silent, with only the croaking of crows.
A bold idea suddenly popped up in his mind.
"That tyrant must be punished by God, and I deserve to be rich!" He clenched his fists excitedly.
He is now a manager in the inner court and is very close to Prince Hu Hai.
Hu Hai was uneducated and unskilled, but he was confident that he could manipulate the enemy at will.
Today Hu Hai went out hunting, and there is a high probability that he avoided such a disaster.
He stroked his chin, secretly thinking that he might be able to take this opportunity to support Hu Hai to ascend the throne.
By manipulating him, he could become the most powerful person in the world! The more Zhao Gao thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.
He knocked on a clay figurine casually, and when he heard the "bang bang" sound, a smug smile appeared on his face.
He no longer felt afraid, but instead felt that this was a godsend.
Before he knew it, he had walked into the palace where Ying Zheng handled government affairs.
Whenever he came here in the past, he always hunched over and dared not raise his head.
But after what happened today, he couldn't wait to see what the other person looked like.
He walked into the palace with his hands behind his back and his head held high.
He saw the emperor's guards at a glance.
As he expected, those people all turned into clay figurines.
He also saw the eunuch who acted arrogantly because of his status as Ying Zheng's attendant.
The other person's face was full of fear, and he was tearing his body apart with his teeth and claws, as if he was trying to tear something out of his body.
He reached out and patted his face, then made two "Pooh" sounds.
He hit his hand too hard and hurt himself.
What puzzled him was that there was no sign of Ying Zheng here.
He clearly remembered that before he went out today, he heard someone say that General Guo Ming, who was looking for the secret of immortality, and the female alchemist had returned, and the other party was personally meeting them! "Strange, where did that tyrant go?" Zhao Gao muttered to himself.
He always felt a little insecure because he couldn't see Ying Zheng.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a sinister voice coming from behind him.
"Who do you say is a tyrant?"
That familiar voice exploded in Zhao Gao's mind like a thunderclap.
He turned around suddenly, and when he saw the person clearly, his head started buzzing, the world was spinning, and his body fell limply to the ground.
"Greetings...Greetings to Your Majesty!" he stammered.
The person standing in front of him was the owner of this palace, wasn't he? He never expected that while everyone else had turned into clay figurines, Ying Zheng was actually safe and sound.
He racked his brains to think of an excuse, planning how to avoid this disaster, but he heard Ying Zheng ask: "Are you Zhao Gao?"
Zhao Gao hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is wise. I am Zhao Gao. I just came back from shopping outside and was surprised to find that something unexpected had happened here. I followed a black shadow to the palace."
"Black shadow?" The mummy Ying Zheng looked at him and found it interesting.
He didn't talk much with the other Ying Zheng, but he did mention some people.
For example, there were generals who were pillars of the country, such as Meng Wu, Meng Tian, and Wang Jian, as well as ministers who brought disaster to the country, such as Zhao Gao.
In his eyes, Zhao Gao's status was not prominent, so he did not take him seriously at first.
However, I heard from Emperor Qin Shi Huang that many other Qin states were indirectly destroyed by Zhao Gao.
He originally wanted to investigate Zhao Gao on his side after returning, but he didn't expect the other party to come to his door directly.
Combining what he had just seen and heard, he was secretly horrified.
If it weren't for the appearance of the tavern, he would probably have really turned into a battered clay figurine.
Along with him, the most elite army of the Qin Dynasty also became like this.
If this happens, the Qin Dynasty will surely perish!
Judging from Zhao Gao's performance, he could actually add fuel to the demise of the Qin Dynasty.
Zhao Gao had already thought of an excuse, and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I saw that man's clothes, he looked like a remnant of the Six Kingdoms, like a king of a fallen country, so I wondered where that tyrant king had gone."
He spoke very quickly, and after he finished speaking, he glanced at Ying Zheng secretly.
"No wonder my Qin soldiers turned into clay figurines. It seems that it was really the remnants of the six kingdoms who did it!" said the mummy Ying Zheng with a look of realization.
"I am just guessing." Zhao Gao said cautiously, "They are stubborn and have the will to restore the monarchy. Maybe they are colluding with some alchemists."
"Okay, get up." Mummy Ying Zheng smiled.
Zhao Gao stood up in fear and trepidation.
Seeing that Ying Zheng didn't seem to want to pursue the matter, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little nervous.
He had been in the palace for quite some time and knew that Ying Zheng was not a foolish person.
What I said is full of loopholes, he may not believe it!
When he noticed the clay figurines around him, a flash of enlightenment came into his mind.
It must be that Ying Zheng had no one else to use, so he let him go.
If you want to survive, you must show your value! Now that the other party is short of people, maybe I can take this opportunity to make further progress! He wanted to speak, but just as he was about to open his mouth, he closed it again and decided to see what the other party had to say.
To his surprise, Ying Zheng did not say anything, but raised his hands, and a black book appeared in his palms.
When the other party opened the book, a faint light slowly seeped out from it.
Zhao Gao was puzzled and had an inexplicable bad premonition.
The mummy Ying Zheng suddenly looked at him with a meaningful smile on his face.
Zhao Gao bent even deeper.
He heard sounds coming out of Ying Zheng's mouth, reciting strange syllables.
Zhao Gao felt inexplicably hot.
Just when he was feeling confused, he saw that Ying Zheng had stopped talking.
A "click" sound suddenly came into my ears.
He turned his head and was shocked to find that the eunuch in front of him had cracks on his body.
Then, he saw the other party shedding his shell, with pieces of dirt falling off his body.
After a moment, the other party recovered as before.
He turned around again and saw that several other emperor's guards were undergoing the same changes.
Several people screamed at first, but when they saw Ying Zheng, they all fell to their knees.
Zhao Gao felt goosebumps all over.
Could it be that Ying Zheng did all this?
What did he want to do? As he was thinking, he suddenly felt a hot current that seemed to burst out from his chest.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he smelled an earthy smell, followed by the feeling of mud gushing out.
Not only his mouth, but also his nose, ears, eyes, and every hole on his body was gushing out mud.
"No!" Zhao Gao screamed, but it only lasted for a very short time.
Everyone watched him turn into a clay figurine and felt horrified.
The mummy Ying Zheng showed a dull expression and shook his head, saying, "Nothing more than that!"
He strode forward.
Looking down from the palace, he saw that after a brief period of chaos, order had been restored below.
The Qin Dynasty was founded on military power, and years of wars enabled its soldiers to remain calm and composed in the face of danger.
This incident was a good opportunity to test them.
He is quite satisfied with the current results.
"Pass the order down, I will convene a court meeting!" he said.
He felt a little regretful.
The distance was too far, so he couldn't use the book to turn Ziyuan into a clay figurine.
But the woman no longer mattered to him.
With the opportunity of the tavern, immortality is within reach.
The vast world is at your fingertips.
As for Zi Yuan, she is nothing to be afraid of.
Even if the other party hides at the ends of the earth, he is confident that he can find her out, just like Guo Ming, and make her pay the price for her actions!
He turned his head again and looked at the terracotta soldier that was twisted in place.
This was just a test he came up with on the spur of the moment; he had no intention of seeking immortality through this book.
Once this matter is over, he plans to sell the book back to the tavern.
Ten thousand time-space coins is not a small amount of money.
Picking up the book again, he chanted the spell.
A moment later, Zhao Gao returned to normal.
After discovering that he had recovered, Zhao Gao, who had escaped death, was so surprised that he burst into tears.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." He kowtowed repeatedly, tears streaming down his face.
Ying Zheng's voice sounded like the words of a devil.
"Drag him away and behead him!"
