Chapter 951 Who Is The Living Person And Who Is The Dead Person

"After they disappeared, they reappeared after a while. I didn't doubt it at first, until I saw with my own eyes a young man from the royal family suddenly collapsed from a living person into a mummy. After a while, a black mist poured into his body , and he was restored to the state of a living person."

Li Zixuan told Yue Qinghuan all the things he found in Jinling City in the past few days.

"I'm afraid that the royal family living in Jinling City has suffered a lot, and it has become a state where people are neither human nor ghost. In Jinling City now, walking on the streets, it is impossible to distinguish who is alive and who is dead. not come out."

After Yue Qing listened happily, she couldn't help but feel horrified.

No wonder, when she was sitting in the carriage at the gate of Jinling City, she felt uncomfortable all over.

Since entering the city, this feeling of irritability has become more and more severe.

Li Zixuan continued, "As for those officials who were also murdered, it must be because even if they were turned into living dead, they would not be able to perform official duties in the court like other court officials, so they simply threw their bodies away. "

Yue Qinghuan asked, "Why did King Xian do such a thing? Brother Li, how did you find out?"

Li Zixuan smiled wryly, "When I first came to Jinling, I first visited the virtuous king and realized that something was wrong with this palace, so I pretended to be his slave and lurked in the palace to observe."

"After the inadvertent exposure, King Xian didn't kill me immediately to silence him, but asked me to play a game of chess with him—according to what he said, as long as I break the game of chess, he can let me leave safely."

"Play chess?" Yue Qinghuan was a little confused.

She couldn't understand this unfolding.

Li Zixuan shook his head and sighed softly, "Princess, you have been living in happiness, maybe you don't understand. In this world, the more you stand at the top, the richer and more powerful you are, the more likely you will be overwhelmed by the emptiness in your heart." Devour it and become a monster."

"..."

Yue Qinghuan stared blankly at Li Zixuan, unable to understand more and more.

Li Zixuan explained lightly, "King Xian is such a monster. He doesn't need to participate in court struggles, but he can rely on the favor of the Supreme Emperor to have wealth and power at his fingertips."

"The princess just asked why the virtuous king did this kind of thing—because he hated the youth of the younger generations. He thought that he could live forever just by collecting the blood of young people."

"All these were told to me by the sage king himself in front of the chessboard. Some kind of spell was cast on that chessboard. The only way to use the coagulated blood of the human body is as a chess piece. Once the chess piece is eaten, that part of the blood will melt into the chessboard. .”

Li Zixuan frowned, "...that's right, it was a chessboard that sucked human blood. I refused to sit down in front of the chessboard, so I had a fight with King Xian's thugs. They were no match for me, but one A mysterious force made me faint, and when I woke up again, I was already lying in a cage, locked together with a fierce tiger."

"Perhaps the virtuous king thought that I would die in the tiger's mouth. He didn't expect that the tiger was killed by me. It wasn't until tonight that I managed to break the iron bars of the animal cage and escaped while no one was looking."

Speaking of this, Li Zixuan finally showed the same hearty smile as before.

But Yue Qinghuan became anxious, "Brother Li, according to what you said, King Xian will get that kind of blood-sucking chessboard, there must be something behind it."

"No, we must hurry to find Yu Qianche now!"
