The maidservants looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Xi Mengyao glanced outside coldly: "If you guys have nowhere to go, then go back to the place you guys went before and do things you were familiar with. If you don't want to do them, then leave right now, I won't blame you guys either."

After saying that, she deliberately coughed, "But you all remember one thing."

"I let you go because I feel that you are being used for a lot of evil deeds and that you are in danger if you go out on your own. I don't want to blame this on you. If you guys dare to go out and leak information, and get caught by me, it will not be as simple as just losing your lives. "

After she finished speaking, she lightly glanced at them. Although her gaze was only a slight one, it was as if it was filled with thunderbolts, causing people to not dare to look straight at her.

The few of them did not dare to act presumptuously. They nodded and obediently left.

At this time, Yu Han, who was at the side, had some doubts, "Why did you accept me, the one who killed people, and not leave them with nothing to do?"

"How come you have no brain left at this time?" Xi Mengyao sneered, "You, who kill people, have your own way of thinking. "If I don't chase them away, who will I chase away?"

Hearing this, Yu Han seemed to have understood something, she shook her head, and said again: "You really are a strange person."

"If I wasn't a strange person, you would be a corpse now."

After saying that, she didn't say anything else. Yu Han nodded her head and went out to tidy up the room.

After seeing her leave, Xi Mengyao frowned, and started to think carefully about what she had said just now.

That mysterious school was here to pick out sacrifices. In other words, it should be a cult. But there were too many beauties, so what did they see in people?

Previously, when Yu Han said she did not know, it was likely that their reason would not be revealed so easily.

Xi Mengyao had a nagging feeling that these people's goal was definitely not as simple as what they said.

Furthermore, she felt that those people would not give up just because they were unable to reach the very end. It was as she had guessed. It seemed that they had already succeeded.

Xi Mengyao frowned and thought for a moment before suddenly standing up and leaving.

This time, she had come directly to the Green Drinking Pavilion.

This side of the courtyard was specially set aside for the strategists.

And in this courtyard, only Lu Ming lived. His treatment was no different from that of some of the young masters.

When Xi Mengyao went over, he was boiling tea in his room. Seeing her go over, he looked at her strangely, "Why is the wangfei free to come over here today?"

Xi Mengyao shook her head, after going over, he directly sat in front of him, and went straight to the point, "I won't be speaking of courteously, there's something I need to ask you."

Hearing her serious tone, Lu Ming could not help but turn serious. He looked at her and asked, "What is it?

"Have you ever heard of a secret technique? It uses offering sacrifices to 72 beautiful women to attract the Virgin Mary, and the Virgin Mary can even fulfill the wish of summoning people."

As she spoke, she recounted the exact description that Yu Han had given to her.

However, she didn't say it in full. Some of the words that she had said were deleted from her mind.

After hearing what she said, Lu Ming frowned, "You want to investigate more about those strange people?"

Xi Mengyao looked at him and laughed, saying, "It looks like you've already been researching this since a long time ago."

However, Lu Ming shook his head. "It's not that I'm intentionally hiding this from you, but because this matter might be related to the stability of the imperial government, I don't dare to let you know."

"What, can't you let a girl talk about politics now?"

"Are you really an imperial concubine …"

"You don't have to think of me as a wangfei, just like a chivalrous hero. Tell me, what exactly is going on? "

Xi Mengyao did not mind at all as she urged him with her gaze.

Hearing her words, Lu Ming didn't know whether to laugh or cry. After a moment of silence, he coughed and said, "There is indeed a record that the ancient records have Yun …"

"Get to the point!" Xi Mengyao was not in the mood to listen to his words. She frowned: "If you want to say, just say it, or else I'll go look for someone else!"

After saying that, she stood up.

When Lu Ming saw that she really wanted to leave, he hurriedly stopped her. "Esteemed wangfei, this subordinate does not mean that. However, this matter is not very clear to this subordinate, and this subordinate is afraid that you will not believe it. "

As he spoke, he took down a seemingly ancient book from his shelf.

When he passed it to her, he slowly said, "There are things these people have done before. It is recorded in this ancient book. Imperial Concubine can read it herself."

It was an ancient book called the Book of Mysteries, a book of folklore.

"This is the custom of visiting an old gentleman in the four directions. "Not only that, the rest should also be of some use to the Empress."

After Xi Mengyao heard this, she immediately looked through it.

With a glance, he discovered that there were indeed some strange customs recorded within. The record taker was the old man himself, so the touch of his hand was very convincing.

Xi Mengyao had heard of many of the customs here. After all, as a detective, she was not someone who had wasted her time and knowledge on work. When it was time to do the work, she had to work as well.

However, she had been browsing through a few pages, yet she had never heard of any of the customs here!

She bit her lip and turned it over. There was a page in the book that someone had folded, and that was what she wanted to know.

With one glance, she discovered that this record was of a place called Deep Reaches.

According to the description, it should be a place in the west and southwest of the river.

There was once a tribe that developed quite well. It was probably still undeveloped and had the strange habit of worshiping the heavens with men.

The method recorded was roughly similar to those people's habits, with the number of people and time being roughly the same.

It was just that no one knew of this method. It was said that it was carved on a stone, but when the scribe went there, he felt that this method was too sinister.

Moreover, it would harm the lives of others.

Thus, after he finished reading, he just chatted and recorded a few lines before destroying the rock.

Later on, he even specifically stated that he was missing a step. If he did not follow this step completely, he would suffer a backlash.

After Xi Mengyao finished reading, she pondered for a moment before turning around to look at Lu Ming. "What kind of place is this Deep Country mentioned in the preceding paragraph?"

Lu Ming was startled, then said with a cough: "That country, I obtained it through my research, it's about the area where Wei Lin is now."
