Chapter 521: White Dog and Prince (2)
Jiang Li thought for a moment before controlling his clone to jump into the sky and look down.
The Buddha Demon Eyes swept across the entire capital city. Suddenly, his gaze focused slightly. His eyes discovered a few rays of light in the chaotic graveyard outside the capital city.
There was something in the graveyard!
Jiang Li, who had been waiting for half a month, was instantly excited when he finally saw something decent.
It could not be a spirit stone that had fallen into the ground. He would be angered to death.
His figure disappeared in the air. When he appeared again, he was already in the graveyard filled with weeds and mounds.
A few wild dogs that were digging the ground and searching for bones raised their heads and roared in the direction of the statue clone.
However, after seeing the eyes of the Buddha Demon, the group of wild dogs immediately whimpered in fear and turned to run.
Jiang Li searched for the treasure light and found a mound that had been there for a long time and was almost flattened by the rain.
From the looks of it, it had been more than ten years.
…
Beside this mound, there were many bones that clearly belonged to humans. It seemed that they were dug out by the wild dogs just now and placed here.
The wild dogs were wors.h.i.+ping something.
He rubbed his hands and suddenly felt like he was opening a treasure chest.
Could the thing buried in a desolate graveyard be related to the abnormality of the Kundu Kingdom?
With a thought from Jiang Li, spiritual qi surged into the ground, and the soil in front of him automatically flipped open. A strange aura immediately spread out.
A moment later, a yellow cloth bag flipped out of the soil and landed in Jiang Li’s hand.
This was all that was buried under this mound.
It swayed slightly, emitting some crisp sounds of bones colliding in the yellow cloth.
He looked at the yellow cloth again. On it were Buddhist scriptures written in gold paint. If he was not wrong, it should be done by the Eight Paths Temple nearby.
This was interesting. No one had ever mentioned this to him before.
“It seems that they are indeed hiding something from me.”
The blood-colored chaotic power in his hand corroded it and quickly erased the scripture on the yellow cloth bag.
He casually opened the cloth bag, and inside was a palm-sized skeleton.
However, after carefully identifying it for a moment, he discovered that it was not the skeleton of a human child.
Instead, it was a puppy?
The Eight Paths Temple specially sealed and buried a newborn dog?
Swoos.h.!.+
At this moment, the Yin qi of heaven and earth gathered, and a dark light flashed in the puppy’s skull.
A ferocious soul collided with the head of the statue clone.
Fortunately, an attack of this level was no longer effective against Jiang Li.
A golden light flashed behind him, and a Buddhist hand reached out and grabbed the soul.
A mouthful of teeth bit the Buddha’s hand. This soul was grabbed in his hand and was still biting desperately.
“Om mani padme hūm!”
The Divine Statue clone clone shouted the Buddhist mantra. As soon as the Buddhist symbol appeared, it suppressed the evil soul in its hand, causing it to retreat and recover its original appearance.
It was a white puppy with soft fur that was only the size of a palm. Even the umbilical cord had not fallen off.
This puppy should have been killed as soon as it was born and buried here.
Moreover, the white puppy’s ears were cut off at the root and disappeared. Clearly, there were some clues.
“Little guy, who are you?”
Jiang Li stared at the white puppy for a long time but did not recognize it.
Looking at its soul, the puppy was killed as soon as it was born. It was also trapped here for more than ten years by Buddhist scriptures.
However, not only did its soul not dissipate, the strength of this soul was actually not inferior to a cultivator at the Soul Formation realm. In fact, it was even stronger.
If not for the fact that it did not have any strength and was ignorant, Jiang Li would probably not be completely confident in taking it down.
He used appraisal, but unfortunately, the results were [White Puppy’s Bone] and [White Puppy’s Soul]. Below were a bunch of question marks that had no actual value.
He transformed into a flexible Nine Nether vine and wrapped it around the puppy’s neck. Jiang Li brought it and its corpse towards the palace of the Kundu Kingdom.
This kind of thing was buried outside their capital city for less than ten years. Jiang Li did not believe that those royal families did not know.
In the blink of an eye, the Divine Statue clone controlled by Jiang Li had already arrived in the palace.
The trembling king and queen were “invited” out of their beds and walked into the main hall with terrified expressions.
When they saw the statue clone, they immediately wanted to bow.
However, they immediately noticed a yellow cloth and a pile of bones on the long table.
The pupils of the two most powerful people in this country constricted, and the panic on their faces could not be concealed.
“Looks like you know it.”
“We were benevolent and did not use the soul searching technique on you.”
“In exchange, you deliberately hid the truth and let tens of thousands of cultivators waste half a month here!”
“As the king, what kind of punishment do you think you should receive? Throw your souls into the flames to burn for a hundred years, or a thousand years?”
Jiang Li’s half-Buddha and half-demon face calmly recounted such things.
He was not scaring the other party.
He was just the king of a mortal country. There was no need for Jiang Li to personally do anything. As long as he showed any displeasure, a large number of cultivators would come and take their heads.
As the price of deception, no one would feel anything wrong if Jiang Li killed them.
The king and queen immediately kowtowed as if they were pounding garlic. Soon, their foreheads swelled up and blood began to seep out. Even if they were usually pampered, they did not dare to be dissatisfied at this moment.
This was because the person in front of them could change their dynasty with a word.
“Tell me what’s going on.”
After a long time, Jiang Li used his fingers to knock on the table, and only then did the two of them stop as if they had been granted amnesty.
After a pause, the king spoke about the secret in the yellow cloth bag.
“It… it’s a monster!”
“Thirteen years ago, on the night of the birth of my child by the previous queen… this white demon was… was born together with my first son!”
The king of the Kundu Kingdom had an ugly expression as he personally recounted the past that he had strictly ordered to keep quiet. Or rather, it was a scandal.
Every time he mentioned that puppy and his first son, his voice would subconsciously lower, showing a very resistant mentality.
It was no wonder that he did not say this earlier.
Jiang Li became energetic when he heard this.
The “together” in his words did not refer to the same time, but in the same s.p.a.ce.
It turned out that this king had a previous queen.
That queen was once eight years and three months pregnant. On a rainy night thirteen years ago, she gave birth to two children.
One of them was a prince covered in ugly black patterns.
The other was the white puppy that had already turned into bones.
It was strange to be pregnant for eight years and three months.
Even Li Jing, who was clearly a cultivator, could not accept such a thing.
In the end, they even gave birth to a dog fetus from a human body. Such a situation was vile, even worse than a demon replacing a prince in the womb.
It was naturally impossible for this king to think that it was his fault. Since it was not his fault, it must be that the queen had acted improperly and provoked the invasion of the demons.
The queen giving birth to a dog fetus was no different from a scandal to the royal family.
If word got out, there would be all kinds of inhuman rumors about the king the next day, and it might even cause a rebellion.
Even if he did not consider this, this king would not want to look at a woman who had given birth to a dog.
Therefore, although the fate of that queen was briefly mentioned by the king, it was obvious that it must have been terrible.
Later on, the king of the Kundu Kingdom even paid a huge price to invite the monks of the Eight Paths Temple to deal with this matter for them.
At that time, this white dog was killed and sealed and buried in the graveyard.
As for the prince who was born from the same mother as the white dog, he still looked human. In the end, he was spared.
However, every time he mentioned that son, the reluctance in his tone let Jiang Li know that the prince had not ended up well.
