Chapter 81 Wisdom

Zhao Mu did not take any more action, but just stood in the distance, quietly watching the demon corpse spinning around.

At this time, Sima Tongsheng and Mu Xinzhi came over.

"Sir, can the Corpse-Suppressing Powder really kill the demon corpse?" Sima Tongsheng asked.

"It should be possible. The Corpse-Suppressing Powder is made by adding more than a dozen extremely yang medicinal materials to the Corpse-Dissolving Powder. For the evil corpse of the demon corpse, it is a deadly poison."

Zhao Mu explained.

He looked at Mu Xinzhi: "By the way, Mu Xinzhi, have you heard of the name Huiguang? This person was once the chief monk in charge of the sutras, and he is related to the Buddha's relics?"

"Huiguang?"

Mu Xinzhi thought for a while: "There are many people named Huiguang in the history of the Great Golden Wheel Kingdom, but if you say that he is related to the Buddha's relics... that's right!"

"Five hundred years ago, the Buddha's relics were lost for more than thirty years, and the person who stole it was Huiguang, the chief monk in charge of the sutras at that time."

"At that time, Huiguang stole the Buddha's relics and disappeared directly. When he was found thirty years later, Huiguang had passed away in a cave."

"Then, besides stealing the Buddha's relics, is there anything else special about Huiguang?" Zhao Mu continued to ask.

"Strange place?"

Mu Xinzhi thought carefully: "According to the records, when Huiguang was found in the cave, he was already dead, but his body exuded a breath of both good and evil, as if he had practiced some evil skills?"

"In addition, when someone took the Buddha's relics from him, his body turned into ashes in an instant, as if his essence had already entered the Buddha's relics."

"The situation at that time was really weird, so the Great Golden Wheel Kingdom did not publicize it to the outside world, but only recorded it in the classics."

Mu Xinzhi said here and asked: "Sir, you asked about Huiguang, did you find anything strange?"

"No, I just heard someone talk about Huiguang two years ago, and I suddenly remembered it today."

Zhao Mu said casually, but he was thinking secretly in his heart.

Although the demon corpse was confused and talking nonsense just now, he believed that the other party's unconscious words that he was Huiguang were not aimless.

If the guess is correct, two consciousnesses should have awakened at the same time in the demon corpse just now.

One of them is naturally the new Chu Emperor, and the other one is probably Hui Guang.

The problem now is that the demon corpse will soon die completely under the erosion of the Corpse-Suppressing Powder.

But will Hui Guang's consciousness still remain in the demon corpse at that time?

If I study the demon corpse, will the other party take the opportunity to enter my body?

"It seems that after bringing the demon corpse back, I can't study it immediately. I have to observe it for a while first, otherwise who knows if there will be any danger?"

Zhao Mu muttered to himself.

Even if there is only a half-percent risk, I can't act rashly.

Anyway, I have plenty of time, so I'll wait and see who can outlast the other.

Plop!

Suddenly, the demon corpse that had been wandering around fell to the ground.

At the same time, some black liquid also seeped out from the seven orifices of the demon corpse, which was a sign that the Corpse-Suppressing Powder had completely poisoned the demon corpse.

Zhao Mu smiled and said, "Okay, the demon corpse has been dealt with. Next, it's time to fulfill my promise to you. Let's find a quiet place. I will explain to you the insights of the nameless Taoist scripture."

"Thank you, sir!"

The two were overjoyed and immediately ordered people to arrange a place.

...

Beijing.

It has been more than three months since Zhao Mu appeared last time.

The court is functioning normally, and there has been no major incident due to Sima Tongsheng's departure.

The Thirteenth Prince's Mansion.

Zhou Yu Niang walked into the study: "Your Highness, you are looking for me?"

"Yes!"

Sima Hongyi waved away his left and right and closed the door: "Come, Yu Niang, sit down and talk."

The two sat down at the table, and Sima Hongyi poured a cup of brewed tea for Zhou Yu Niang.

"Yu Niang, what do you think of this prince?"

Sima Hongyi looked at Zhou Yu Niang with burning eyes.

"Your Highness has a noble character and outstanding abilities. He is the best choice in all aspects. Yu Niang admires him very much."

Zhou Yu Niang was not shy at all when she spoke compliments.

Anyway, it's just talk. Who cares about the real situation?

"Hehe, although similar words are often heard, I am still very happy to hear them from Yu Niang."

Sima Hongyi smiled and said, "So... what do you think about the matter that I mentioned to you last time?"

"Last time? Oh, did you let Yu Niang be your concubine?"

Zhou Yu Niang picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Your Highness, if you really like Yu Niang, why don't you let Yu Niang be your main wife, but just a concubine?"

"Well, that can't be helped. My main wife must be of noble birth and have a big family behind her. You have to fight, otherwise it will be disadvantageous for the future. "

"But don't worry about these, Yu Niang. I have only loved you in my life, so even if you are a concubine, I will only love you, and..."

Sima Hongyi stared at Zhou Yu Niang: "And when you become a concubine, I will let you take charge of the secret guards and help me fight for the throne. When I ascend the throne in the future, you will be the imperial concubine, and your status in the harem will be only second to the queen. Isn't this good?"

"Haha, I understand. Your Highness wants to get my people and want me to work for you, right?"

"Yu Niang is indeed a smart person, but you know the importance of the secret guards. If you can take charge of the secret guards, even if you are just a concubine, your status is actually no worse than that of the main wife, but you just lack a title."

"You like power, wouldn't it be better for me to let you hold the power? As for the title, why do you care?"

"Yes, your highness really considered a lot for Yu Niang."

Zhou Yu Niang drank the tea in one gulp: "But, your highness is sure that Yu Niang will agree?"

"Why not agree? Being able to become my royal concubine is what many women dream of?"

"What's more, my highness also lets you take charge of the secret guards, and it is even more likely to become a royal concubine in the future. What else are you not satisfied with?"

"Yu Niang, don't be too greedy, otherwise you will die without a burial place." Sima Hongyi threatened.

"But I don't want to be a royal concubine."

"I've told you that my wife must be born rich and noble, and only she can be the queen in the future, you..."

"I don't want to be the queen either."

"Don't be ridiculous, if you don't even want to be the queen, what else do you want to be, the emperor? Haha, you..."

Sima Hongyi was suddenly stunned when he said this, and looked at Zhou Yu Niang in astonishment: "You are not joking, are you serious?"

"Haha, what, your highness thinks that Yu Niang, a woman, can't be the emperor?"

Zhou Yu Niang stood up with a smile, suddenly pinched Sima Hongyi's mouth open, and directly stuffed a pill into it.

"What did you give me to eat?"

Sima Hongyi was so scared that his face turned pale.
