The Emperor is Above

Chapter 291 The Magical Uses of the Flower Civet Cat
Yao was imprisoned and Shun died in the wild.

King Wen was imprisoned in Youli, and Lord Father suffered the Shaqiu Rebellion.

Qing Yi never expected that one day he would enjoy the treatment of a king.

Fortunately, the prison for vassal prisoners in the upper city, as the name suggests, is a prison specially for detaining nobles and vassals. The environment is clean and tidy. Except that the cells are a little small, they are even equipped with couches, desks, and beddings.

"Sergeant Guqiu Yi, don't blame the prince for imprisoning you. It's really because Mr. Qianye and the other ministers are rebelling together, and it's difficult for him to stop them by force. You should just rest here for a few days."

Taishu Bingxin sighed slightly and said comfortingly, "Old Man Shi is not in the capital these days. When he comes, he may be able to help you get rid of the charges, or at least you can make up for your crime with merit."

"Make meritorious contributions while serving your sentence? Maybe!"

Qing Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly. His attempts to persuade Taishu Bingxin along the way ended in failure. This relative of Xinghou didn't think Xing Jiyin was suspicious. Perhaps the high trust that Old Man Shi had placed in him all along led to his misjudgment of some things in the capital.

He only hoped that Old Man Shi could get rid of the entanglement of the cat ghost as soon as possible and return to the capital early. When Taishu Bingxin left the cell with a sigh, he devoted himself to practicing the supernatural power of clairvoyance in his own small room.

"One eye can distinguish yin and yang, and all evil spirits will be exposed, and all good and evil will be seen. This is called the clear eye of heaven..."

With the awakening of the divine power of the third eye, a heat current constantly passed through the ancestral orifice between his eyebrows. Even with his eyes closed, Qing Yi could clearly feel every subtle detail around him, as if he were seeing it with his own eyes.

The more Qing Yi practiced his divine eye ability, the more he felt the practicality of this ability. At least he could clearly feel the good or evil emotions of many people towards him, and even his hearing became more acute.

People came outside the prison from time to time. Qing Yi recognized the voices of Zhu Cheng, Qiu Yuan, Bai Ze, Gui Yan, Yu Beihai, Mu Cangwu and others. They wanted to visit Qing Yi but were rejected by Taishu Bingxin.

Ran You and Zi Che Zhongxing screamed in anger after being rejected, but they were completely helpless in front of the third-grade combat master, and were eventually pulled away by Zhu Cheng.

Tai Shu Bingxin did not do this intentionally to make things difficult for others, but to strictly abide by the orders of Xing Hou.

Not only did he reject those who came to look for Qing Yi, he also sternly rejected the request of Zhonghang Shuo, Qi Huangyang and others to enter the prison. These dandies simply wanted to humiliate Qing Yi and vent their anger.

However, Qing Yi was still shocked by the influence of Zhu Qing or Qianye Weng on Shangcheng. Even though the food delivered in the evening was strictly checked by Taishu Bingxin, it was secretly poisoned in the prison.

If Qing Yi had not cultivated the divine power of the divine eye that allowed him to see within a radius of ten feet and saw the small movement of a black-armored rider on the way to deliver food, he would have been poisoned to death in the cell.

After discovering that someone had poisoned the food, Qing Yi did not make a public announcement and arrested the black-armored knight. Instead, he refused the dinner on the grounds that a noble lord should not eat food served to prisoners.

Tai Shu Bing Xin only thought that Qing Yi was upset and did not care that he refused dinner. He continued to guard strictly outside the prison and rejected all the intentions of the visitors.

Qing Yi appeared to be very dignified by not eating the food provided by the prisoners. However, his appetite had greatly increased over the past year and he had never been hungry like he was now. In addition, after awakening his divine power of the Heavenly Eye through the Taiyi Qi Refining Technique, his demand for food was even greater.

Qing Yi spent the whole night in agony of hunger. By the next morning, his eyes were glowing green with hunger. Even if a mouse ran by nearby, he would almost turn into a cat and pounce on it.

"Meow-"

"Ah wu——"

The slight meow of a cat made Qing Yi think that he was hallucinating, but the cry of the little fox made him react quickly.
"Eh? Isn't that the voice of Hua Ni and Xiao Bai? Yes, they have been following Niuniu to the city these days."

Qing Yi followed the sound and quickly walked to the corner of the small room. There was a very small ventilation hole ten feet above the ground. It was only one foot long and five inches wide. Even the smallest cats and dogs could not enter or exit.

He jumped onto the couch with his eyes level with the small hole. Based on the length of the vent, he could tell that the walls of the cell were at least ten feet thick. They were made entirely of large pieces of qinggang stone that were more than three feet long and wide, and were carved with dense rune patterns.

Based on his recent rapid progress in knowledge of rune formations, Qing Yi recognized that these rune patterns were not only used to reinforce the walls of the prison, but also served as a restriction to isolate the communication between the inside and outside of the prison, thus cutting off any possibility of escape for the imprisoned vassal.

It seems that the civet cat and the little fox also know that they are imprisoned here. Unfortunately, the two little creatures are weak after all, and can only shout a few times outside and can't help much.

Just when Qing Yi was a little disappointed, a small white thing suddenly appeared in his arms. He looked down and found it was a chubby little fox. "Yes, Hua Ni's ability to capture objects from the void is now incredible. It can actually allow you to pass through the entire restriction!" Qing Yi stroked the soft body of the little fox in surprise.

As early as when he and Bao Bu Tong arrived in the suburbs of the capital, the civet cat could catch the snow rabbits that the young and strong people were chasing from a distance of fifty meters.

Now they have eaten a lot of spiritual fruits and medicines from Niu Niu, and their magical powers have obviously improved greatly. I wonder how they found this location.

"Ah wu——"

The little fox rubbed its small body against Qing Yi eagerly, then turned and whispered towards the vent. Its eyes emitted five-colored light, making the runes that occasionally flashed on the wall appear much dimmer.

"Meow-"

Soon, the civet cat's cry was heard outside the vent again, but it couldn't use its magical power of teleporting itself in. It wanted to try to get in through the vent, but the cat's head was accidentally stuck in the vent, and it looked at Qing Yi pitifully.

"Hua Ni you are such an idiot!"

Then, Niuniu's clear voice and Xing Shu's mocking voice came from outside, "Hua Ni, don't you see how big this hole is? Xiaobai's body is so small that he can't get in. Do you think you can be deformed?"

With the sound of a wooden ladder being put on the wall, the civet cat was soon pulled out through the small hole, and Niuniu's little face appeared outside: "Big brother, sister Shushu and I are here to see you. This is a corner of the palace, and it was discovered by sister Shushu."

Before Niuniu could say anything, her face was pushed aside, revealing Xing Shu's face. She shouted with a look of doubt and uneasiness, "Guqiu Yi, how did you get arrested? I heard from my elder brother Boyun, Zhonghang, and Qi Huangyang that you were arrested because you wanted to murder Xing Jiyin?"

Qing Yi smiled bitterly and recounted the whole story, nearly frightening Xing Shu to the point of falling off the ladder: "Oh my, Xing Jiyin is a monster? No wonder I always felt that he was different this year. I thought he was frightened and his personality changed, but I didn't expect that he is now a man-eating monster."

"Big brother, grandpa and brother Dazhu are not at home now. How can sister Shushu and I help you?" Niu Niu asked in a baby voice with a worried look on her face.

"If you want to help me, find me some food first. Someone in this prison is trying to poison my food." Qing Yi understood that although the two girls were very popular in each family, they did not have the ability to release him. At this time, he could only entrust them to find some food.

"Hua Ni Hua Ni, my grandfather's yard is right under the cliff next to us. Can you pick some spiritual fruits and bring them up?" Niu Niu immediately had a good idea.

The civet cat's ability to capture objects from the void was indeed getting stronger and stronger. Initially, it could only capture objects within ten feet, but now it has picked a lot of spiritual fruits on the cliff a hundred feet away and sent them all to Qing Yi.

"Wow--"

"Wow--"

With the help of the little fox, the civet cat used its magical power of capturing objects in the air to accurately locate the spiritual fruits of different colors, as well as the various delicacies that Niu Niu and Xing Shu brought with them, all piled up in a small pile.

Looking at the various spiritual fruits weighing at least ten kilograms, Qing Yi breathed a sigh of relief. He finally didn't have to worry about the food problem for the next few days. Perhaps he could take advantage of these few days of peace and quiet to further increase the power of his divine eye.

"Guqiu Yi, my father doesn't believe you. I'm afraid he won't believe me if I tell him. If there is such a monster hiding in the palace, won't we all be eaten?"

Xing Shu looked worried outside the wall, and even the five-year-old Niu Niu looked worried. In the past, the two of them always felt that they did not need to practice, but now they found that the most important thing was to become strong.

"What are Nuji and Niuniu doing? Come with me, the Lord has told you not to make trouble."

At this moment, Liang Qiu Juzhong's voice suddenly came from outside the wall. Xing Shu and Niu Niu quickly disappeared outside the small hole. With a soft cry from the civet cat, the little fox also disappeared into the small room out of thin air.

Almost at the same time, the gate of the vassal prison was opened from the outside, and a heavy footstep walked in slowly. Qing Yi turned his head and saw that it was the king Xing Hou.

After just one night of absence, Xing Hou's expression became even more solemn: "Last night, Linghu Ming, Yue Chengqing, and Yun Shengyan captured and killed a cat ghost god servant. It was originally going to kill Tu Shigu and the ranger under your command."
