Reborn to marry ex-husband's nemesis

Chapter 641 Sucking Human Blood, Cannibalizing Human Flesh
"But those who opposed were still dissatisfied. They almost made a move several times, but the high priest directly blocked it with the staff. What should you do? Strange things happened, but those who opposed the high priest and touched the staff After returning home, he had nightmares again and again, babbled nonsense, looked crazy, and even committed suicide to apologize, obviously insane."

"People with strong self-control, after they wake up, realize that it is the problem with the staff, so they speak to the king of Chu, saying that the high priest used witchcraft indiscriminately and harmed the courtiers, and must be severely punished. The high priest said, his staff is his. The master, that is, the one left to him by the former high priest, is only used to investigate the secrets of the sky, there is no problem, the reason why it is wrong is because those people have a guilty conscience, and the high priest asked the king to strictly investigate those courtiers to prove their innocence."

"When the courtiers heard it, hey! I was going to kill you, but you still bit me back and wanted to get me? That's okay! Immediately, they all went up to play and wanted to execute the high priest. When the two sides were at a stalemate, your majesty I personally sent people to investigate the two priests and those courtiers, and the result..."

"It turned out that there was no problem with the high priest, but something happened to those courtiers, right?" Han Zhan said in response to Lu Lingyu's words.

"That's right!" Lu Lingyu slapped his thigh, "Those courtiers were all corrupt and deceived the superior and the inferior. The king was furious. You must know that the king hated corrupt officials so much that he immediately copied the moth's mansion and executed him. Execution, exile, exile, half of the officials in the court were lost for a while. The king personally issued an order, saying that he would rather Chu State not have those who slaughtered officials, and would not raise a group of villains who sucked the people and exploited the people!"

When the water is clear, there will be no fish. If they are all working in the court, how can their subordinates be clean?

"No one expected that the king would act so swiftly and resolutely, and his face turned pale with fright. Instead of being punished, the high priest completely secured his position in the court and became the king's confidant. The king said that if it wasn't for the high priest, he wouldn't have investigated Seeing so many corrupt officials. That is, from then on, everyone knew about it. Maybe the high priest knew about it early in the morning, and then they will plan. With the following things, that is, from then on, no one in Chu State No one dares to disrespect the high priest."

Han Zhan chuckled: "It's just an invitation to enter the urn."

Lu Lingyu looked sideways: "What do you mean?"

After finishing speaking, he reacted again: "You mean the king did it on purpose?"

"You do not know?"

"How do I know this?"

Lu Lingyu is smart, but this smartness is only enough for him to protect himself.

What's more, he is well aware of the fact that things have nothing to do with himself, and he is so high-spirited. As an official in the court, he must not know too much, and he must not be too smart, otherwise he will not end well.

Therefore, he never thought about King Chu's intentions at all.

Han Zhan sneered: "You are a courtier of King Chu, you don't even know what your majesty intends, how can I know?"

Having said that, Han Zhan can conclude that perhaps from the very beginning, this was a game that the king of Chu used the high priest to do.

But the high priest understood the intention of the king of Chu, so he used his tricks and punished the corrupt officials for the king.

King Chu is really clever!
No wonder he gave tax breaks to the people.

The tax revenue year after year, although quite a lot, might be comparable to the raided mansions of corrupt officials?

It's better to cut taxes and win the title of a wise king from the common people.

If the treasury runs out of money, check a few corrupt officials, and the people will be happier if the treasury has money.

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Although Han Zhan didn't admit it, Lu Lingyu had already guessed it.

He couldn't help being stunned and said: "I'm a mother! It turns out that our king is so powerful!"

Han Zhan: "..."

He could tell that Lu Lingyu was the king's diehard fan.

"Don't talk to me about what you have and what you don't have, and continue to talk, aren't you the high priest's magic staff? Because of this?"

"Of course not. Throughout the ages, how can all powerful treasures be so common?" Lu Lingyu approached Han Zhan, lowering her voice, "That staff can suck human blood and eat human flesh! It's a monster!"

"Suck human blood, eat human flesh?"

"Oh, my little lord, please keep your voice down!" Lu Lingyu was so frightened that he quickly covered Han Zhan's mouth, "If this word is heard by others or reaches the ears of the high priest, I will I'm dead!"

Who doesn't know that the high priest is the most taboo for others to mention his staff.

"Take your dirty hands away!" Han Zhan knocked off Lu Lingyu's hand with a folding fan, "You old man, please speak up! What are you doing so close?"

"Isn't it about telling people's merits behind their backs, so we must do a good job of keeping it secret!" Lu Lingyu whispered, "I saw this with my own eyes!"

"Oh?" Han Zhan raised his eyebrows slightly.

"It all happened more than ten years ago. That day, the King had a whim and insisted on dragging me to fight crickets, so I played with him until late at night. The King of Chu was sleepy and wanted to rest, so he called his servant." The prison guard took me to the side hall to rest, and not long after I rested, I heard someone outside singing something like "the soul is back, the soul is back", and I suddenly remembered what the king said, the high priest is doing something these days , Nowadays, it is rumored that the high priest can communicate with ghosts and gods, and has the ability to detect the secrets of heaven, so I was really curious, so I leaned on the window and watched."

"In the end, I really saw the half of the sky in the palace covered with clouds. It was already late at night, and the sky was covered with clouds, just like evening. For some reason, I was fascinated by the clouds. Follow along."

Even now, Lu Lingyu is covered in cold sweat, and still doesn't understand what happened to him back then, why he went to the high priest's bedroom in such a good manner.

The question is how he got there and how he came back, I have no memory.

All I know is that he was among the flowers and plants in the apse, and saw a strange formation at the feet of the high priest. It seemed to be an eight-diagram formation, but it was not. There were many dead slaves lying on those formations, and blood gushed out from the slaves continuously. Come, and the blood meanders along the formation to the center, and the high priest's staff is inserted in the center of the formation.

The strange thing is that the blood climbed up the staff until it reached the top, as if there was a bottomless pit sucking blood. As more blood was sucked, the ruby ​​at the top of the staff became brighter, and its color was similar to that of blood. Same.

When the blood was gone, weird things happened again.

The bodies of those slaves disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, and those disappeared bodies turned into small pieces of minced meat, densely covered with staffs.

Eerie, dark and eerie.

Bright red blood, bloody minced meat, and dense white bones.

Lu Lingyu couldn't help retching, even the water in his intestines came out, and his face was pale.

The wind was blowing, his hair stood on end, and reason told him that he had to leave immediately.

But for some reason, he couldn't move his feet at all.

He could only watch helplessly as the flesh and blood of those slaves was sucked clean by the staff until only a pile of wreckage remained.

But the magic staff is more beautiful than before, exuding a strange light all over.

Seeing this, the corners of the High Priest's lips curled slightly, revealing a strange and sinister smile.
