"The Celestials!"
Hearing this answer, Zhao Ji's heart twitched violently several times.
But his expression was normal, he just asked calmly: "How could Otomo find out such a confidential matter?"
Eunuch Cao looked hesitant, but still said, "To be honest! Your Majesty, although our Cao family has declined, we still have some people working in Haojing. Through them, I entered the New Historian's Office of the Zhou royal family and found a book that specifically records the blessing ceremony, which happened to contain this kind of prayer technique."
Speaking of.
He handed a copied booklet to Zhao Ji to read.
Zhao Ji took the booklet but did not read it immediately. Instead, he smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, my dear friend. For the sake of Li's affairs, you actually let your fellow tribesmen take such a big risk!"
Eunuch Cao was quite moved: "If it weren't for Dali's care, our Cao family would have been wiped out somewhere long ago. Today's Dali is no different from our motherland to the Cao family. Isn't it natural to take risks for our motherland?"
“Very good!”
Zhao Ji seemed to be feeling moved that Dali had such a loyal minister.
His slightly dry hands rubbed the booklet for a long time before finally opening it.
Although the Zhou royal family has declined, it cannot be denied that it is still a cultural center. There is no other place in the world where one can find such a large and comprehensive library.
This volume records almost all the techniques related to praying for blessings in the world.
The most crucial page of the booklet is marked with records about the art of prayer and exorcism, which are recorded meticulously according to a unified recording format.
This technique of praying for blessings of salvation is exclusive to the Celestial Clan.
In ancient times, after the Celestials defeated all the demons, they lived across the wall from the human race.
In order to pass on the ethnic group in a better way, they issued a ban on intermarriage with humans, and in order to achieve eugenics, they developed the art of prayer.
There is nothing strange about this prayer technique. It simply uses the essence of both parents to nourish the fetus, which can minimize the consumption of all three.
The effect is extremely outstanding.
Any fetus that has been prayed for will be extremely healthy and have almost no congenital defects.
Parents will hardly be hurt.
The only side effect is...
It takes about three years to recover, and you can have children again after three years.
"this……"
Zhao Ji's eyes looked somewhat gloomy.
The record also wrote at the end that this prayer technique was a secret method not passed down within the Celestial Clan. Only the priests and shamans of the Celestial Clan in ancient times were qualified to practice it, and it could only be performed by the Celestial Clan.
The one who performed this was the Bai family or some other celestial race?
Three years later.
Did he calculate that I was going to die?
He felt a chill down his spine.
Although it is a recognized fact that the Zhao kings were short-lived, his age was still many years away from the average lifespan of the Zhao family.
The only ones who knew clearly that they would not live beyond a year were the Queen, Zhao Ning and that kid Ying Wuji.
If there is someone who can infer his own lifespan through his eyesight.
It's not impossible.
But it seems that only Eunuch Cao in front of him has this opportunity.
Anyone who dares to perform this prayer technique must have calculated that he would not live more than three years.
Three years is enough to easily break his "twin plan".
If three years pass, I will no longer be here.
Ying Wuji is still staying safely in the Kingdom of Li. The only heir of the royal family is his child with Li Caimei.
If it is a boy, it would be too difficult to replace the crown prince.
but……
Zhao Ji smiled faintly: "It's a good thing to say! Daban'er, tell me, was this prayer technique performed by the Bai family or other celestial beings?"
“Ah, this…”
Eunuch Cao was a little apprehensive and said cautiously, "Your Majesty! This matter is of great importance. I am only a eunuch and dare not make any comments."
Zhao Ji smiled and waved his hand: "I'm sorry!"
"All right!"
Eunuch Cao looked quite embarrassed, but he calmed down and pointed to the book in his hand and said, "Your Majesty! This book was compiled by the Zhou royal family, but it actually has a long history. The first half should have been inherited from the Shang royal palace, with some additions and supplements.
However, this method of praying for blessings to ward off evil was invented very late, probably after the Zhou emperor unified the world.
The Zhou Dynasty regarded themselves as the Son of Heaven, but this heaven might not be the heaven of heaven and earth.
If the Zhou royal family really had some connections with the Celestial Clan, this is also where the records of the art of praying for blessings and blessings came from.
Moreover, the Bai family's inherited skills are tough and fierce, and although there are many heavenly secrets, it doesn't seem like a family of witches and priests."
Zhao Ji nodded thoughtfully: "You mean, it has nothing to do with the Bai family?"
"I dare not speculate, I will just tell your majesty what I think!"
Eunuch Cao nodded modestly, but then changed the subject: "However... according to the Cao clan, no information about the celestial beings in the sky was found in the Zhou royal family. On the contrary, on the contrary..."
His mouth opened and closed.
It seemed as if the second half of the sentence I was about to say was very hot on my lips.
He was trembling and looked extremely terrified.
Zhao Ji’s voice sank slightly: “Speak!”
Eunuch Cao seemed to have made a great struggle, but finally spoke: "Instead, we met a few people who looked like members of the Bai clan."
Zhao Ji asked: "Why is it suspected?"
Eunuch Cao quickly said, "More than a year ago, the Bai family was defeated in the Gan Kingdom, and almost all of the family was detained. These people once found the Zhou Emperor and tried to persuade him to intervene and let the Gan Kingdom release the Bai family, but the Zhou Emperor did not agree to protect his reputation."
