The Devilized were numerous, and in the end, many went mad.
None of them met a good end.
According to records, during the Jiazi Era, it was still manageable, but towards the late period, those who could maintain clarity for over a hundred years were one in a hundred miles.
This method was so sinister that it was completely sealed away.
Yu Ziqing remained silent for a while, pondering.
"Bring the sealed item here."
Jia Shisi did not hesitate and vanished instantly. Moments later, he returned with a jade box.
On top of the jade box were three talismans crisscrossing each other.
Upon seeing the talismans, Yu Ziqing's pupils suddenly expanded.
He stared at those three talismans, utterly shocked.
"What are these sealing talismans?"
"I do not know, my lord. It was sealed by a previous leader of the Faceless Men. Only Your Majesty can unseal it."
Yu Ziqing took the jade box, looking at the three crisscrossing talismans.
The patterns on the talismans, the core in the center, even the way they crisscrossed, were identical to something Yu Ziqing had seen before.
The talisman from the upper left to the lower right was the bottommost, the one from the lower left to the upper right was second, and the top and bottom were the topmost.
When Yang had once invoked the Silence Divine Spell, the three sealing talismans he evoked were exactly like these.
Yu Ziqing did not believe this was a coincidence.
"Do you know the Silence Spell?"
"Then don't you recognize this?"
Yu Ziqing took a deep breath.
"Bring Prime Minister Zhang over."
Shortly afterward, Zhang Quli arrived.
"Elder Zhang, take a look at this. Do you recognize it?"
Zhang Quli looked carefully, then shook his head.
"I do not know it, never seen it before."
"Do you know the Silence Spell?"
"I have dabbled in it, but I am not proficient. However, I happen to have the Dharma Method here."
Zhang Quli took out a jade scroll and handed it to Yu Ziqing.
With just one glance, Yu Ziqing suddenly understood.
The Silence Spell that Zhang Quli and the others practiced was not at all the same as the Silence Spell he knew!
Yu Ziqing instantly realized he had fallen into a mental trap.
Yes, even Fireball Technique could randomly yield dozens of kinds, yet the effects were similar.
Why must there be only one Silence Spell?
"Jia Shisi, find out what the seal on this jade box is as soon as possible."
"I, accept the order."
"Let me help as well." Zhang Quli, seeing Yu Ziqing's concern for the matter, immediately added.
"Thank you, everyone, this matter is important. Moreover, is there only one of this jade box?"
"In response to Your Majesty, there is only one seal, there is no second one. Keeping this one is just in case for future necessity, a last resort."
Yu Ziqing held the jade box, looking at it for a while.
He recalled that the Dharma Methods of the Faceless Men from Dadui had once leaked out.
The name of Dazhen's Faceless Men was inherited from Dadui, and so were the Dharma Methods.
However, the current Dazhen seemed not to have created the White Water Egg anymore.
Seeing this jade box now, Yu Ziqing suddenly had some theories.
This was a seal from Dadui, sealing the entire Dadui inside, and, essentially, it was the same as other sealed disasters.
Sealing a complete disaster inside.
This time, however, the sealing was extremely thorough, as if sealing an entire era of Dadui completely inside.
Logically, in a few hundred years, the Dadui here would be like other disasters that had been sealed.
Returning to the initial point, starting over.
Thus, Yu Ziqing said he could only delay it for a few hundred years before having to let Dadui return.
Otherwise, the efforts of hundreds of years might be in vain.
Thus, the jade box he held in his hand could be something that, a few hundred years after this time, was lost.
Then it fell into Dazhen's hands.
Afterward, Dadui disappeared, and Dazhen inherited the Dharma Methods of the Faceless Men.
Given Dazhen's somewhat scattered form of governance, the Dharma Methods of the Faceless Men were indeed quite fitting.
Yu Ziqing realized he had overlooked a very important issue.
In all the sealed disasters encountered before, not everything was real.
Just like in the disaster of the Demon Fox, the only real entities sealed were the White Jade Building and the Demon Fox itself.
What one saw in Dingmao City inside the seal could not be manifested after the seal was resolved.
Thus, this unprecedented super-seal beneath his feet, not everything in the entire Dadui might be real.
This jade box might exist only here.
When one day Yu Ziqing allowed Dadui to return, this jade box might no longer exist.
If this speculation were true,
it would be after Dadui's disappearance, someone outside obtained this jade box.
Someone used the crisscrossing three sealing talismans on the jade box to develop a different Silence Spell.
The Silence Spell was designed to keep secrets.
The Dharma Methods of the Faceless Men were also to keep secrets.
They all had common points.
Yu Ziqing was somewhat shocked; he never guessed that the White Water Egg could be connected with the Silence Divine Spell.
A few days later, Jia Shisi came to report.
There was no corresponding record found in the archives of the Faceless Men's government office.
Previously, Dadui was too chaotic, suffering from the calamity of the Earth Deity, causing much to be lost or destroyed.
Zhang Quli also came to report.
In the Royal Book Library, they found only some scraps of records.
"This seal was made by Jia Shier, but both Jia Shier and Jia Shisan were from times of turmoil."
