Chapter 200: The Past
Lighting the extinguished torch again, Qing Li said slowly: "That thing just now is called the ghost-faced wasp, it is extremely poisonous, and if it is bitten, the flesh and blood will slowly rot. It grows in a dark and lightless place, once a little light appears, it will take the initiative to attack, and it can still rip off carrion after being bitten by one, if it is besieged by dozens or hundreds, it will not take half a moment, and you will become a puddle of pus and blood......"
Nangong Yue trembled three times when he said this, and suddenly couldn't help but scold: "What the hell is this place?" Is there any need to put such a vicious thing? ”
Ling Yichen looked around, only to find that he had arrived at a large platform, there were more than a dozen stone steps in front of him, and there was a passage at the end of the stone steps, but the passage was deserted, and it was a little cold.
Two stone pillars stand on the stone steps, and there is a lifelike five-clawed dragon carved above.
The answer is already on the horizon......
"It seems that this is the mausoleum of some emperor." Ling Yichen muttered and had to smile bitterly.
Blowing up the tunnel can also blow up an imperial tomb, and now I don't know how difficult it is to get out.
The four of them walked to the end of the stone steps, but no one took a step into the aisle. The ghost-faced wasp has already shown that this place is not simple, and who knows what will happen next.
Gao Ying took a deep breath, "You hide under the stone steps and stick to the ground as much as possible, and I'll try." She took the torch and lit the candlestick by the wall, and in an instant a fire lit up, and the aisle was illuminated.
Nangong Yue was more worried and wanted to stop her. However, he was glared back by Gao Ying, so he had to lie on his stomach and stick to the stone steps.
Gao Ying took out a few copper plates and threw them down, and in an instant, an overwhelming array of arrows shot out. The arrow had a faint blue glow, obviously quenched with poison.
His pupils shrank, and Gao Ying quickly jumped down the stone steps and also pressed against the ground, and a whistling sound of sharp arrows rubbed against his ears......
Taking a big gasp for a few breaths, Gao Ying threw a few copper coins in the same way, and waited until the arrow array was released, and then slowly stood up.
The broken hair on his forehead was already wet. She looked at the trajectory of the copper plate on the ground, was silent for a moment, and finally took the first step.
There were no arrows pouring out. Gao Ying breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I know, you follow my steps, don't make a mistake!" ”
The clear stone pavement is extremely cautious every step of the way. Qing Li is really unimaginable. Under such a seemingly ordinary stone road, there is an infinite killing machine hidden.
A long walkway, a few people don't know how long they walked, but in the end, the sight became brighter and brighter, not the lighting of the candlesticks, but the countless night pearls inlaid on the stone wall.
The surrounding temperature gradually cooled down until the end of the stone path. What catches your eye is a sea of fiery red flowers.
Bright flowers as red as blood, without stems and leaves. The petals are in the form of filamentous bands, like the palms of both hands, reverently carrying and holding something. The color is as hot as fire, but it is in vain with a sense of pathos and sorrow, like the eternal barren vicissitudes of life......
Qing Li looked at this large piece of Manzhu Sawa in a daze, and finally smiled helplessly.
Who said that there is no such thing as zài in this world, it's just that no one has ever discovered it.
The flowers that bloom on the road to hell, the cursed flowers and leaves never meet, guide the lost souls to be reincarnated......
The legend of Manju Sawa has always been a mystery.
"I probably know whose mausoleum this is...... "To be able to plant Manzhu Sawa so aggressively, and let it open in this empty and uninhabited corner, probably only the Emperor Min of the previous dynasty."
In the library of the ink royal family, the records about the treasures of Emperor Min and the silkworm cloud brocade embroidered with Manzhu Sawa are all true......
It's just that this treasure is not the commonly known gold and silver jewelry, but the favorite delicate flower of the Empress Chen, which is full of heart and can not be found in the fiery red manzhu shahua.
Gao Ying looked at the sea of flowers in front of him, and unconsciously burst into tears.
She cried and laughed, "Found ......"
Striding into the sea of flowers, she ran all the way, and the others saw it and hurriedly followed.
Under the soft halo of the night pearl, the sea of flowers swayed slightly, which was even more thrillingly beautiful.
At the end of the sea of flowers was a simple and heavy iron door, which was also decorated with the image of Manju Sawa, but there was only a round hole in it, and there was nothing resembling a doorknob or a lock.
Gao Ying suddenly sat on the ground and cried bitterly.
Nangong Yue patted her shoulder anxiously, but she couldn't stop her from crying no matter what, "What's wrong with you?" Don't cry, you have something to say! Ah Yi ......"
"If you're sad, you can punch me a few times, kick me a few times to relieve your anger, don't cry......" Nangong Yue comforted awkwardly, but it was not very useful, he had to ask Qing Li for help, but Qing Li shrugged his shoulders and said that he didn't know.
Ah Ying's burden is too much, if she is willing, she will naturally say, if she is unwilling, no matter how she persecutes, she will not mention a word.
Qing Li turned his head and stared at the round hole in the iron door.
With Gao Ying's crying and Nangong Yue's chatter, Qing Li and Ling Yichen were extremely quiet.
After a while, Gao Ying stopped, and his feelings gradually calmed down.
"We can't get out...... she chuckled and looked dejected, and everyone frowned, waiting for her to follow.
"There is a void peak in the north, the mountains are magnificent and beautiful, not reckless, there is an empty door on it, through the astronomical geography, and the middle is straight and empty. I am empty, and I have never been hidden in the world, but I ask Hongchen. ”
The Void Gate is rarely heard of in the world, but it doesn't mean that no one has heard of it, Qing Li already knows about it, and it is not unusual, while Ling Yichen and Nangong Yue are surprised when they hear it at first glance.
Originally, I was still wondering why Gao Ying was young but proficient in the five elements of Qimen, and even had a martial arts, but now I heard that she was an empty disciple, so there are traces to follow.
Gao Ying looked at Qing Li with red eyes, and said with a wry smile: "Li, do you remember, I asked you, if one day, you find out that I lied to you, are you still willing to make me a friend?" ”
Thinking of Qing Li's answer at that time, Gao Ying's heart warmed, "I once told you that my Void Gate was born to protect the Snow Spirit Fox. Actually, this is just a façade! That snow spirit fox was just discovered by the master by accident ten years ago, and I. Conceals the true meaning of my door storage zài. ”
Walking over and holding her shoulder, Qing Li asked in a low voice, "It has something to do with Emperor Chen and Empress Chen?" ”
Her eyes flashed slightly, looking at the fiery Manzhu Sahua, and sighed, "Yes! The founder of the Void Gate was actually a capable man under Emperor Min of the previous dynasty, who was saved by Emperor Min by chance. So be loyal to him. ”
Once Emperor Min practiced Zuo's Ninety-Five, even if there was the wonderful law of Empress Chen, there was also the help of the Chen family. But in the same way, this talented man also worked hard.
After Emperor Min ascended the throne, he canonized Chen as the queen, and the court situation was turbulent at that time. The two supported each other. spent the most difficult years together, and when the country was prosperous and the country was safe, Emperor Min was full of warmth and lust. Desire, began to expand the harem, recruited beauties, and forgot the promise of a lifetime and a couple.
Later, Empress Chen was disheartened, and a fire burned Chaoyun Palace with herself. Since then, he has suddenly woken up. Abdicate and make way for Xian.
He thought of the Manzhu Sawa that was once Empress Chen's favorite, and searched all over the world, he recorded the bits and pieces of the past between the two, drew a picture scroll, and built the imperial mausoleum, and moved all of these into the mausoleum, and after his death, it seemed that he could sleep with Empress Chen.
The emperor's mausoleum has always been kept secret, and Emperor Min didn't want anyone to disturb him, so he entrusted that capable man to guard the mausoleum for generations, which gradually became empty.
Although Empress Chen died in the fire, the codex of her life was left behind, and since that capable man was able to penetrate the heavens and the earth, he naturally knew the origin of Empress Chen. He was curious, and deliberately took a copy of the manuscript, the real thing was buried with Emperor Ming, and the rubbing was left in the empty door, and only the disciples who entered the room could see it.
In the rubbing, it is recorded that it was fried. The practice of medicine, Gao Ying was originally because he heard the news from the border pass, so he deliberately rushed to Yufeng Pass thousands of miles away, and it was also because of this that he was very clear about the origin of this thing.
Gao Yi's master, the Xuanji Taoist, has been following his mission all his life to protect the imperial tomb, but in fact, in the passage of time, the real location of the imperial tomb has lost clues, and he only knows that it is a corner of the mountains in northern Shuo.
The mystical Taoist thinks that he is ashamed of his ancestor, and he has never found the place of the mausoleum after a lifetime, and in the end there is only a piece of heart disease left, and Gao Ying only knows that the gate of the imperial tomb is carved with Manzhu Shahua, which is why she was shocked when she saw the stone slab.
The aisle she had just walked through, and the formations used were all the core formations in the division, and she was not sure about it, but when she saw this whole Manzhu Shahua, she finally affirmed it.
Master Yu Yu never found the entrance in her life, but she found it, she didn't know whether to be happy or sad, but she just couldn't help but want to cry.
If Master had known, he would have closed his eyes gladly......
Gao Ying sobbed and finished saying this, the master was gone, and it was pointless for her to insist on anything, not to mention, they couldn't get out at all......
Everyone was silent, Qing Li hugged her tightly, and said: "As far as I know, after the construction of the imperial mausoleum, those craftsmen will not escape the fate of martyrdom, since they know that they will have this ending in the future, how can they not leave a way for themselves?" In this mausoleum, there must be an exit, right? ”
Gao Ying shook his head, "There may be an exit, but if you can't open that door, it's all in vain." The key to that door was a gem, but decades ago, the gem was taken away by Uncle Shi. Uncle Shi has long been expelled from the door, I don't know who his surname is, but now I vaguely guess that I am afraid that it is the poisonous demon Shulian......"
When Qing Li heard that, his whole body stiffened.
The poisonous demon Shulian is a disciple of the Void Sect!
Xiyan once told her that her grandfather also had a great connection with the Void Gate.
She was almost killed by Su Lian on the Void Peak, and then she used the dagger to hurt him and got his life back, and later, she saw a new scar on her grandfather's hand, and found the dagger she left behind in the dark grid......
It's not that I don't understand, but I don't want to understand......
Qing Li stood up, walked to the iron door, and stared at the round hole in a daze.
She had been familiar from the beginning, the size of the hole similar to the size of the ruby set in her dagger.
Removing the gem from the dagger, Qing Li trembled and stuffed it into the round hole.
Everyone looked at her in disbelief, and what was even more incredible was that the iron door, because of the inlay of this gem, opened with a bang......
"Stinky girl! It's a legacy. You don't give it to the old man to try it well! ”
The old man's words were still in his ears, and Qing Li looked at it blankly, already speechless.
If so. If she doesn't know, it's really just self-deception......
"You, how can you have ......" Gao Ying was shocked, watching in disbelief as the big iron door slowly opened, the icy temperature came to his face, and there was actually an ice room inside.
Everywhere you look, there is an ice coffin. And on the stone wall, there are many picture scrolls.
The girl and boy are smiling and smiling, and the green clothes and green sleeves are innocent......
The girl held her cheeks and smiled innocently. Barefoot and watery are lively and lovely......
The bride is ashamed of the woman's hair, and her hair is tied into a hairpin......
The emperor and queen were crowned and the ministers worshipped, and they looked at each other and smiled......
Finally, at the end, the monstrous flames shattered Qionglou Yuyu. The beauty dies and turns into a light cloud......
Those were all the memories of Emperor Min and Empress Chen......
Qing Li's feet were a little weak. The oncoming cold air was like her frozen heart.
Ling Yichen stretched out his hand and took her into his arms, looking at her pale face, but he didn't ask anything.
"Who!" Ling Yichen suddenly let out a loud shout, he felt the almost inaudible sound of breathing in the ice room, who would be in this place?
Qing Li was stunned, pushed him away and ran in quickly, to the side door of the ice room. Only then did I see a cold pool of clear water, in a cold pool. An old man in black was half submerged in it, his gray beard was covered with ice slag, and his familiar face made Qing Li finally sit on the ground unbearable.
"You, here......" Qing Luosha said softly in a hoarse voice, a pair of black eyes seemed to be surging with countless dark lights, but the tone of the words was extremely gentle.
"Why? Why? Qing Li tried his best to suppress his feelings, but the eyes were still irrepressibly blurred.
Ling Yichen also couldn't believe it, why did this old man, who had always been unpredictable and unruly, be so immersed in the cold pool, and still ...... The cold pool in the imperial mausoleum.
Qing Luo's eyes flashed slightly, looking at Gao Ying and Nangong Yue, who came in later, and said with a smile: "Senior brother's closed disciple, but he has some ability......
Gao Ying's eyes were full of hatred, clenched his fists, and said fiercely: "It was you who harmed the master, and it was you who ruined the master!" ”
Those two sentences fell, Qing Luo suddenly laughed, shook his head and said, "Don't you want to know what happened?" Although he said to Gao Yi, his eyes were fixed on Qing Li.
"Good boy, grandpa is sorry for you......" This sorry is for the mistake on the void peak, almost killing his only granddaughter.
Qing Li looked at him quietly, and just asked, "What's wrong with you, your body, what's wrong......
When Qing Luo was Shulian, the ruthlessness and tyranny in her eyes were by no means fake, and the grandfather who loved her the most would never do such a thing as strangle her.
For Qing Li's insight, Qing Luo is both emotional and proud. This granddaughter of his, who will always be very proud of him.
A low and dull voice slowly sounded: "That was a few decades ago, at that time, my senior brother and I, that is, the Xuanji Taoist, were the master's most proud protégés, and the senior brother was talented above the five elements of Zhou Yi, and learned the master's divination and deduction technique, and I, myself came from a medical family, and I had great attainments in poison medicine, so I followed the master to learn the medicine ......."
At the beginning, the head of the house was decided, and after his death, Qing Luo succeeded him as the head of the house, and at the same time, he handed over the ruby to him early.
However, Qingluo himself has zài defects, and his behavior is sometimes different, and at that time, he will become violent, but he often doesn't remember what he did afterwards.
Under normal circumstances, he is Qingluo, but once he is stimulated, when his feelings are stirred, he will become a dreaming lotus.
The mystical Taoist once unintentionally discovered this secret, so he reported the matter to the master, who had a score in his heart, but did not remove Qingluo's heir.
Qing Luo has always tried his best to maintain a flat state of mind, so he has been safe for many years, until his wife passed away, and the sadness came from it, and the side that had been hidden for many years was completely revealed, and it was also at that time that the poisoning demon Shulian in the rivers and lakes was born and poisoned everywhere, and afterwards Qing Luo would detoxify in order to make up for it, which gave the appearance of a duel between the two.
Finally suppressed the demons in his heart, Qing Luo decided not to succeed the head of the house, and invited himself to go down the mountain, but he did not give the ruby to the Xuanji Daoist, which has always been a thorn in the heart of the Xuanji Taoist.
His position as the head of the family was originally succeeded by Qing Luo after he retired, and it is inevitable that he will suffer from gains and losses. Coupled with the fact that the inherited ruby was not in his hand, he became more and more cautious, and later. hit the idea on Qing Luo's only son, Qing Han.
Na Qinghan was also a protégé of emptiness, and he studied Qimen Dunjia with the Xuanji Taoist for a few years, but was later hunted down and killed by the enemy and died young.
Qing Luo lost his beloved son, and once again became violent and unkind, and his anger swept through several cities, and later it was only after Qing Li was born that he gradually regained his heart. The poisonous demon Shulian has since faded out of the rivers and lakes.
He has been investigating the cause of Qing Han's death for more than ten years, Qing Han is an upright and resolute person, and rarely has enemies. The person who harmed him has been disappearing, and later, by coincidence, he learned that it was planned by the remnants of a big family that Shulian had inadvertently poisoned.
Originally, there was no trace of the Lotus Spirit, and the survivor didn't know how to take revenge. Later, I heard from nowhere that Shulian was Qingluo. He took his anger out on Qing Han, and after that, the survivor also died.
The person who knew which secret, there was only one person in this world, he was determined to ask the senior brother, and after receiving a positive answer, he was furious, and in a fit of rage, he poisoned the whole empty door. There is only one fish left that slips through the net.
The reason why he took Gu Shaojue as an apprentice was that there was a cherished fruit called Solo in the royal family of Naxichuan. can effectively control his emotional fluctuations, the old emperor promised to give him, on the condition that he teach his most outstanding son, Gu Shaojue.
It's just that Thoreau also has side effects, and once he stops, no matter how hard he tries, he can't control it. Gu Shaojue is dead, Xichuan will no longer provide him with Thoreau, he is about to be unable to suppress himself, so he can only soak himself in this cold pool......
Qing Li had never heard of those secret pasts.
She is a posthumous child, she never knew how her father died, once asked, her grandfather only said that it was an accident, and now listening to this, Qing Li only felt that her brain was buzzing, and she couldn't accept it.
She knew what kind of defect Qingluo's body was, in modern terms, it was called split personality, which was a psychological disease that could only be cured through psychological treatment, but she was incapable of ......
That time on the Void Peak, she picked the broken intestine grass that Shulian had worked so hard to plant, which angered him, so the man wanted to kill her, and this qiē turned out to be just because of a split personality!
Qing Li couldn't accept it, and Gao Ying couldn't accept it either.
She has heard so much, and in general, it is her master, the Xuanji Daoist, who designed to frame their family in order to steal the gems in Qing Luo's hands!
How could this kind of thing be done by her Immortal Wind Dao Bone Division!
"You have no basis for what you say! What you say alone is true! My master is not such a person! Gao Ying shouted.
She wouldn't believe it......
Qing Luo smiled and looked at her sadly, "When those things happened, you were not yet born, and then that old man changed his ways, in your eyes, he is a decent and righteous person, how do you know about the dirty things he has done?" ”
Gao Ying's body trembled, and he shook his head violently, "No! No, it won't! ”
"Won't? So what are you panicking about? Didn't the old man see you before he died? He doesn't have any last words for you? Qing Luo couldn't help but scoff, the second personality seemed to be about to move.
Gao Ying was shocked.
What was said? What was said?
At that time, the master said that this was karma, and he deserved it, so that she should not take revenge, not be sad, and live a good life on the mountain, so that there will be no emptiness from now on......
At that time, he cried and looked up to the sky and sighed, saying, he was ashamed of his ancestors! Then, he passed away suddenly......
Gao Ying slumped down weakly, and Nangong Yue quickly hugged her, but she was like a rag doll that had lost her strength, and she was lifeless.
Qing Luo looked at Qing Li, whose face was pale, with pity, and only felt that the irrepressible anger in his body was about to erupt.
He trembled and stretched out his hand, trying to touch Qing Li's cheek, but finally stopped.
Gritting his teeth, Qing Luo walked out of the cold pool, stood in front of Qing Li with a tall, thin and cold body, looked at her with affectionate eyes, and said in a low voice: "Li Er, you are the pride of your grandfather!" How fortunate I am to have such a granddaughter as you......"
That tone made Qing Li very uncomfortable, she always felt that something was going to happen.
"Grandpa......"
Murmuring, Qing Luo's figure froze, and he suddenly smiled with satisfaction, "Good boy, I have been guilty of a lot of sins in my life, I have had enough of this pain, I am old enough, it is time to accompany your grandmother, I am relieved to have Yichen by your side." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Ling Yichen, a look of appreciation and appreciation.
What does this mean, and why does it look like a togu?
Qing Li suddenly grabbed Qing Luo's cold hand, and said hurriedly: "Grandpa, what are you going to do?" ”
Qing Luo just laughed, waved his palm, and knocked all four of them into the cold pool, pressed his hand on the wall, and a strong force swept everyone deep into the water, and above the pool, there was only a sky-high fire and a loud roar...... (To be continued......)
PS: Woo, I cried, and finally filled the hole......
