Do you know: I am the crown prince

Chapter 394 Zuo Qi
The leader of the wizard cult came to a cave that was dug deep in the cave.

The cave was arranged as a Buddhist temple, enshrining a Buddha statue with a strange posture and a ferocious face.

On both sides are spirit tablets, with the names carved on them all bearing the surname Chai.

He picked up a stick of incense, lit it on the burning candle, bowed several times to the tablet, and then inserted it into the incense burner.

"Father!"

At this time, a pale-faced man walked in.

"I said Zuo Qi was unreliable. He said he was confident that he could deal with the imperial army, but in the end, he was beaten to a pulp. If it weren't for cooperating with him, we wouldn't have spent so much energy in Jiangzhou.

Now we have lost all our power in Jiangzhou, all thanks to him.

If Zuo Qi is caught and gives away the truth about this place, we will be in danger."

Chai Yining turned around, looked at his son and said coldly: "Have you said enough?"

"Father!"

When Chai Shen saw his father getting angry, he quickly said, "I am doing this for my father's safety and for the sake of the Holy Religion!"

"For the sake of the Holy Church?"

Chai Yining said coldly: "You are probably hoping that Zuo Qi will lose, right? Because I promised Ruyu to him, and you tried to stop me, and you are resentful.

I have said it many times, the great cause is the most important, Zuo Qi is a talented person, if we want to achieve the great cause and fulfill your great-grandfather's wish, we have to rely on such people, can we rely on those outsiders?"

Wizards can be traced back to the Wu family among the Hundred Schools of Thought, but the Wu family was annexed by Taoism.

Some people who do not want to join Taoism call themselves wizards and make a living by curing diseases and saving lives.

However, the witch doctor's skills are difficult to learn and understand, so some people began to use unconventional methods and perform some supernatural tricks.

It turned out that this method was very effective, so it became the mainstream. However, very few people actually studied witchcraft seriously.

However, most of these wizards live alone and have not formed any organization.

The story begins with Chai Yining’s grandfather Chai Huai’en.

Chai Huai'en's mother died of complications during childbirth when he was just born, and his father died of illness when he was three years old.

Rumor has it that he was an unlucky person who killed his parents. When he was five years old, he was removed from the family tree and driven out of the Chai family.

In fact, Chai Huai'en knew that someone just wanted to seize his family property.

The Chai family was a prominent family in Xingzhou during the Tang Dynasty. Although he was only a side branch, he also had a lot of family assets.

How could he, a child of only a few years old whose parents had both passed away, not be coveted by others?

For a five-year-old child, being kicked out of the house is no different from having his life taken away.

Chai Huai'en could only make a living by begging, but even when begging he would be bullied by those beggars, who said he was stealing their territory.

His parents named him Huai'en because they hoped he would be grateful.

But he never felt any gratitude, and his series of experiences filled his heart with hatred.

He spent half a year in such a difficult way, and during this half year Chai Huai'en experienced hardships that most people would never experience in their entire lives.

Finally, one day, the skinny Chai Huaian collapsed.

In his dying moments, he felt a strong hatred in his heart, but also a sense of relief.

But he did not die, but was saved by a witch doctor.

The witch doctor who saved him was not a person who used witch doctors to defraud people, but someone who made a living by curing diseases and saving lives through witch doctors.

The man was alone, without a wife or children. When he learned that Chai Huai'en was homeless, he adopted him and carefully taught him the art of witchcraft.

He felt that Chai Huai'en had a strong resentment in his heart, so in addition to teaching him, he also carefully enlightened him.

In this way, Chai Huai'en felt warmth for the first time, and the hatred in his heart was slowly wiped away.

Moreover, Chai Huai'en studied very hard and achieved success in his studies when he was only a teenager. If everything continued to develop smoothly, then Chai Huai'en would definitely become a witch doctor with excellent medical skills.

But things went against one's wishes. At that time, the world had just been pacified and a great governance was needed.

The wizards who cheated and harmed the people were one of the targets of the court.

After the imperial court issued a decree to ban witches, local officials began to hunt down and kill witches.

The wizard who saved Chai Huai'en was too old to travel far, so they settled down in a small town.

That day, Chai Huai'en went to a village more than ten miles away to treat a patient. When he came back, the wizard who saved him had been captured by the officials.

When Chai Huai'en rushed to the county town, he learned that the old man had died on the road due to his old age and the fact that the officials disliked his slow walking and kept beating him.

When he learned the bad news, Chai Huai'en almost went crazy, and the resentment hidden in his heart sprouted again.

He hated everyone, hated the court, hated the government, and hated the world.

He wants revenge!

But he could do nothing on his own.

After calming down, he turned his attention to the wizards who were being hunted down by the imperial court.

The old man who saved him was of high seniority among wizards. He took him around the country in his early years and introduced him to many wizards.

So Chai Huai'en spent several years visiting various places and found many wizards who were hiding because of the imperial court's encirclement and suppression, and formed the Wizard Cult.

Because his master was of a very high seniority, he naturally had a high seniority among all wizards.

By using various means, he eventually became the leader of the Wizarding Cult.

While he arranged for people to look for other wizards, he was thinking about how to take revenge.

Chai Huai'en was not dominated by resentment. On the contrary, the more resentful he was, the calmer he became.

He understood that these wizards and their means of bewitching people might cause a great chaos, but it would eventually be quelled.

Taizu seized the world from an orphan and his widowed mother, which made Chai Huai'en think of his own experience and feel the same way.

What's more, that was originally the world of the Chai family.

He not only wants revenge, but also wants to take back the Chai family's world.

So he looked for opportunities. Whenever natural disasters occurred and the government was unable to provide disaster relief, he would secretly instigate a rebellion in order to destroy the luck of the Song Dynasty.

The wizard cult has been passed down to Chai Yining, now the third generation.

What Chai Huai'en inherited was not only the wizard religion, but also his hatred towards the Song Dynasty and his wish to overthrow the Song Dynasty and seize the world.

When Chai Yining was born, Chai Huai'en was still alive, and he was taught carefully by Chai Huai'en when he was young.

Therefore, he also has a very deep obsession with conquering the world.

Chai Yining knew very well that it might be possible to spread cholera throughout the world by relying on wizards to teach these people, but it was not realistic to seize the world.

Not only did he fabricate an identity for himself, he traveled around and secretly recruited people who held grudges against the court, and he even took part in the imperial examinations.

And Zuo Qi was a very important talent he discovered.

A talented leader.

Zuo Qi was not raised by him since childhood. In order to win his heart, he even betrothed his adopted daughter, whom he had raised since childhood, to Zuo Qi.

But his son was always thinking about Ruyu and was very unhappy about this matter.

Not only did he try every means to stop it, he also verbally bullied Zuo Qi.

This time, the plan for Jiangzhou was also strongly requested by Zuo Qi to prove himself.

Things were planned very well, but unfortunately something unusual was discovered on Gu Tingwei's side, causing their plan to fail.
