"Let's go. Perhaps the breakthrough this time lies in the blind old woman. We can use her body to summon her spirit."
Gu Yunni had a flash of inspiration and thought that the blind old woman's body could still be used.
She is the only remaining villager in Changning Village and must know what happened in the village in the past.
Although he was driven out, he should have some understanding.
The two went to the Ministry of Justice, where the blind old woman's body had already been taken away and brought back by people from the Ministry.
Gu Yunni used her corpse to set up a small soul-summoning formation.
A white mist suddenly dissipated, the room suddenly became cold, and the soul gradually condensed into the appearance of a blind old woman.
"We came to you because we want to ask you something. If you don't answer truthfully, we will scatter your soul and you won't even have the chance to be reincarnated."
Gu Yunni had been unable to persuade him before, so now she could only use intimidation.
The blind old lady knelt down tremblingly, knowing that Gu Yunni's cultivation was not low.
"What exactly is Changning Village doing? And what happened after they were recruited?" Seeing that she was honest, Gu Yunni asked.
The blind old lady sighed quietly, thinking that everything was a bad fate and the disappearance of Changning Village was retribution from God.
"You don't know, ever since the village was recruited, they've been secretly arresting people. They've sold the elderly, the weak, women, and children they've captured to pawnbrokers. Later, they became more and more daring, even tying up young men and selling them."
The blind old woman is dead, and there is nothing to hide.
"Now that the villagers have money, they've started building houses lavishly and marrying off wives everywhere. They've even sold their wives and daughters, not even sparing their own family. My status in the village is extremely low, and everyone can bully me. I don't know who leaked the secret of my curse to kill my entire family, so I've set up a formation in the village..."
The blind old lady told the story one by one, not daring to hide anything.
Gu Yunni clenched her fists. She never expected that Changning Village would be the source of evil and criminals.
Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, the country has been prosperous and many people in the pawnshops have voluntarily signed indentures to sell themselves as slaves.
But I didn't expect this to happen.
"Sir, I already know I was wrong, but there is a mastermind behind this, forcing me to sacrifice all the lives of Changning Village."
"Where is your formation placed in Changning Village?" Gu Yunni continued to ask.
"On the east side of the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village, near the village entrance." She answered truthfully.
How could an old woman possess such sorcery? And even possess the means to harm others? Gu Yunni felt this was incredibly strange and was about to inquire about it when the blind old woman's spirit began to drift away, a faint aura emanating from her.
The originally clear figure gradually became transparent.
It seemed that if you blew one more breath on her, her whole soul would dissipate.
"Who taught you how to harm others?" Gu Yunni picked up the talisman and threw it into the blind old woman's body.
A warm yellow light enveloped the blind old woman, and her faint soul state gradually stabilized and did not dissipate.
"My evil magic comes from a..." The blind old woman didn't have time to finish her words.
A black line suddenly appeared, and the blind old lady was cursed to death right under her nose!
In just a moment, the weak soul dissipated in the air, without even the chance to reincarnate.
Gu Yunni was furious. She sat cross-legged and took out the talisman.
She muttered something and recorded the aura of the black line into the yellow talisman.
The other party's methods were mysterious, but she was no pushover. Several yellow talismans tracked the aura of the black line.
She was determined to break the fangs of this poisonous snake hiding in the darkness!
"Suppress!" Gu Yunni muttered, and the yellow talisman beside her moved without wind.
Sheng Mingyu looked at her worriedly, and when he saw that she was confident, his worries gradually subsided.
The yellow line keeps moving along with the black line, fighting back and forth.
In the end, only half of the black line remained, and it was entangled by the yellow line and dissipated...
A secret room in the capital.
The old Taoist who was originally sitting cross-legged suddenly vomited blood and fell to the ground.
"My Lord, are you all right?"
The old Taoist vomited a mouthful of blood and looked like he was about to collapse.
A red candle was burning in the secret room, and there were bright red bloodstains on the ground.
"I'm fine, but I've met my match this time. Go find some blood and essence."
The old Taoist raised his hand weakly, and a black light gradually enveloped his head. His body was covered with traces of the backlash of the mysterious technique.
The subordinates cut the child's wrists and blood continued to flow into the bowl.
"Wow!"
After all, they were children, and they were frightened and screamed when they saw this scene.
The subordinate slapped him on the back, and the crying child died instantly.
They did not stop bleeding until the bowl was full, and then they brought it to the Taoist priest.
"My Lord, is this enough for you?"
The old Taoist put all the essence and blood into the furnace.
The cries of children continued to be heard from the furnace, and the noise gradually faded away until the black line gradually grew again.
"That woman is really powerful. I have been seriously injured by her twice. I won't be able to cast spells in the short term." The old Taoist sighed.
At present, all clues about Changning Village have been cut off, and it will take time for people from the Ministry of Justice to continue investigating.
The subordinate opened his mouth and thought helplessly that the Second Prince would definitely need him again.
How can I work for the Second Prince if I can't use mystical arts during this period?
Not long after, the sound of a lock turning was heard, and the door of the secret room was slowly opened.
A man in a black robe, covered tightly, strode in. The old Taoist priest and his subordinates bowed respectfully one by one.
"Your Highness."
The man in black robe took off the brim of his hat, revealing his face. It was none other than the second prince of the neighboring country to the west, with a delicate expression.
He was not in a good mood. He had suffered a great humiliation and the emperor to the west urgently summoned him back to his country.
His current situation is very precarious. If he takes a wrong step, he will fall off the cliff and be smashed to pieces.
"Old Taoist, you have to do this personally to avenge me. I have been bullied by them." The second prince clenched his fists, his eyes were cold, even crazy.
If possible, he would not only kill Gu Yunni, but also make her die in a tragic way, by being tortured to death!
There was also the annoying Sheng Mingyu, so they cut him open, stuffed a wick into his body, and used him as a lamp to light a sky lantern.
Only by slicing these two people into pieces and letting them die after suffering torture can the anger in the Second Prince's heart be relieved!
He was the son of a dragon, yet he suffered great humiliation.
"Your Highness, there is no need to worry so much. I will definitely avenge you, but now is not the time." The old Taoist shook his head and advised.
"If they dare to insult His Royal Highness the Second Prince, I will make them pay with blood."
But he is injured now and needs to rest for a while, so he must not act rashly.
"Your Highness, this is a critical moment. As for His Majesty, I will speak to him. Now is not the time to return home. We must not act rashly."
