In addition to the baby's skeleton, the two also found a built-in bookcase in the corner.
There was a dusty yellow paper on the stone table. Lu Zhi picked it up carefully and glanced at it. It was a bunch of useless punctuation marks.
Shen Yuanshuo did find something useful.
An evil martial arts book called "Xie Su San" describes an evil spell that can extract the soul and take over the body of another person.
The ingredients needed are common and bloody.
[Copper coin sword + puppet + appropriate amount of black dog blood + a bowl of morning dew + a few hearts of boys and girls]
Shen Quan must have failed many times.
The right amount, a bowl, a few pills, more or less, the first time Shen Quan was undecided and his hands were stained with red blood.
However, the final result seems to be a bit biased.
From his scribbled notes, it can be seen that Shen Quan was not completely successful.
...
...
His soul was torn into two halves after being forged in the furnace. The consciousness of one half of the soul was eliminated and he was no longer in control of it, while the other half of the soul could be controlled by him and take over anyone's body.
Shen Quan wants to have his cake and eat it too, he wants immortality as well as supreme power and money, but he cannot get close to the royal family who are protected by the golden dragon.
So they had to settle for the next best option and chose the descendants of the Shen family.
After all, it was the empire he had built with his own hands, and he was reluctant to throw it away.
He has been like this for generations, replacing the magpie's nest with the civet cat for the prince. Maybe someone beside him had noticed something unusual, but he never pointed it out.
Gradually, as Chen Quan took over other bodies more and more times, his body aged faster and faster, and the lifespan of the bodies he took over became shorter and shorter.
For a moment, Shen Quan fell into panic.
He had already tasted the wonderful taste of immortality, so how could he just spit it out? There was no reason for Shen Quan to spit out what he had swallowed.
There was a talented person in the Shen family's ancestor. He broke into the Miao area hidden under the poison barrier alone and encountered a touching love story.
And that person was the descendant whose body was seized by Shen Quan.
His purpose of coming to Miaojiang was simple - Gu.
The touching love story that was passed down to later generations was even more absurd. The woman he married was imprisoned by him in a cage under the Shen Mansion and cultivated the so-called "twin Gu" for him personally.
On the day he got the Twin Gu, Shen Quan killed the woman himself and announced to the public that he had died of illness.
The twin Gu balanced the side effects of taking over the body very well. But as time went on, the effect gradually became neutral, and even produced an irresistible side effect on Chen Quan.
Before she died, the woman put poison in the insect in order to stop this evil creature.
Therefore, although Shen Quan could continue to seize bodies, he had more idle time.
So this is why Master Shen only realized that he had half an extra soul in his body when Shen Yuanshuo was eight years old.
Shen Quan, who had been gathering his strength, opened his eyes without anyone noticing after Madam Shen gave birth.
The moon is dark and the wind is strong, crows are flying around the southern branches.
The man sneaked into the sleeping room and took out the poisonous insects he had prepared long ago from his sleeves. He watched them crawl into the ears of the sleeping baby without blinking, with a scarlet arc at the corners of his mouth.
As for the Lu family, Shen Quan just mentioned it perfunctorily on a piece of paper beside him.
The general meaning is that his like-minded friend, Lu Jing, the ancestor of the Lu family, discovered his secret, so the two of them colluded with each other and killed countless children in private.
Lu Jing was more patient than Shen Quan. After Shen Quan took the Twin Gu, he realized that the disadvantages outweighed the advantages, and silently changed the prescription to reduce the side effects a little.
By now, the truth has come to light.
Suddenly, the lamp in Chen Yuanshuo's hand was blown out by the evil wind, and dust and smoke swirled in the air.
Lu Zhi felt his scalp tingling, and he subconsciously turned his head away and dodged to the side.
She separated from Shen Yuanshuo and saw clearly what was rushing towards her—a female ghost in white.
The female ghost stuck out her long tongue that hung down to the ground, and stared at Lu Zhi with her blood-red eyes as big as lanterns. The hatred and jealousy in her eyes turned into knives and shot at her.
Her face was 60% similar to Lu Zhi's - it was Lu Yue.
Lu Yue, who turned into a ghost, followed all the way here just to take Lu Zhi's life.
"ah!"
The thick and long tongue in her mouth did not affect her screaming, and the piercing sound attacked the two of them.
Shen Yuanshuo flashed in front of Lu Zhi and raised his hands to cover her ears to block out most of the sound. He frowned and looked coldly at the white-clothed female ghost rushing towards him.
"Maybe I should have a knife..." Lu Zhi murmured, she narrowed her eyes, and subconsciously tightened her hands hanging by her side.
Hearing her words, Shen Yuanshuo's eyes flickered: "No knife, but a peach wood sword."
After saying that, he took out two shiny peach wood swords from his wide sleeves and handed one to Lu Zhi.
It felt a little sticky, and Lu Zhi turned his wrist and held the wooden sword across his chest. A golden light that was invisible to the naked eye shot towards Lu Yue who was roaring and rushing towards him.
Lu Yue groaned in pain and quickly raised her hand to cover her face. The skin of her exposed arm was burning black and she screamed in pain.
Lu Zhi and Shen Yuanshuo combined their swords and rushed towards Lu Yue with their swords swung one after the other.
Lu Yue, who had just solidified into a physical form, was killed by the sword.
At the same time, Lu Yue let out a short roar of unwillingness, and his figure crawled on the ground and disappeared in the air.
Over there, in the front yard of the Lu Mansion, the two people who were sitting cross-legged suddenly opened their eyes and spat out a mouthful of black blood.
Looking closely, there seemed to be something wriggling in the black blood.
Mrs. Lu covered her chest and widened her eyes in disbelief: "How dare she hurt my son!"
"I shouldn't have been so soft-hearted and let Yue'er do whatever she wanted. She should have been the one who died! Not only did she not show any gratitude, but she also seriously hurt my son!"
Compared to Madam Lu's irritation, Master Lu closed his eyes to calm his unsteady breathing, and snorted coldly: "They are just pawns, why bother about them."
Mrs. Lu stammered with her lips tightly pursed. The words of rebuttal that rose to her throat were suddenly poured back into her stomach like a basin of cold water, leaving her lips and teeth feeling dry.
There was no turning back. Thinking of Lu Yue, who was born after ten months of pregnancy, Mrs. Lu raised a sneer on her face.
She is not a qualified mother and is not worthy of being a mother...
"Action in advance," said Master Lu, with a shrewd look in his eyes, "We must not let them get away."
Now that Shen Yuanshuo and Lu Zhi knew the truth, how could they let them go?
Everything should be strangled in the cradle, just like the head of the man he had chopped off with a shovel, so tender and tiny.
Madam Lu nodded solemnly: "Can Shen Quan completely control his soul?"
Master Lu chuckled: "He is much more cruel than you think. I am not as cruel as him."
**
Chen Yuanshuo and Lu Zhi learned the truth they wanted, and they returned to the narrow corridor.
The lights went out and the two of them clasped hands together.
In front of the exit, Chen Yuanshuo suddenly stopped.
He frowned and listened carefully.
In the study room in front of the corridor exit, there were more than one person's panting sounds, like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark, waiting for its opportunity, spitting out its scarlet tongue and waiting for its prey to fall into its trap.
Chen Yuanshuo hooked his little finger.
After receiving the news, Lu Zhi's expression suddenly became serious and he stared at the door.
The two of them deliberately slowed down their breathing and made it blend into the surrounding darkness.
The people outside the door seemed to have lost their patience and made rustling noises, reminding the people in the corridor that they had better not try to be cunning, because they had plenty of ways to kill them.
Lu Zhi slowly moved backwards, and Chen Yuanshuo followed slowly.
The corridor under their feet shook violently, and under the two people's vigilant gaze, the entrance of the corridor was opened.
"run!"
