Chapter 11: The Death of the Empress Queen

Different from his usual steady temperament, Lu Jinyu sighed one after another when answering Yi Shenghe's questions.

From his tone, Yi Sheng couldn't guess whether this "Qiao Ling came into the world" was a good thing or a bad thing.

"Ahem."

Lu Zhenyu coughed a few times.

In this dark room, the air is not very well circulated and a little humid. If you stay for a long time, it will make people feel uncomfortable when you breathe. However, this did not affect Lu Zhenyu, and even made him more eager to say something.

Yi Shenghe didn't understand what Lu Jinyu had just said, so he asked.

"Uncle Yu, I don't quite understand. What is Qiao Ling you just mentioned, and does it have anything to do with Brother Ge? ”

"Virtuous nephew, if this Qiao Ling wants to talk about it, it is really a strong stroke in the long history of Ni Kingdom."

"Tell me about it. Brother Ge is home alone, and I don't feel at ease. And I don't know much about this part of Joling's history, and there are not a few chapters in the book that mention it. ”

"Then I'll give you a brief overview. You should have just seen it, I read the name of the book. ”

Yi Shenghe nodded.

"'The Death of the Queen,' but I haven't seen this book anywhere."

"Then do you know who Queen Yao is?"

"Judging from the appearance of the book, it should belong to an ancient book that has been placed for a long time, and the queen should not be a modern person. According to my understanding of the history of Ni, there are frequent changes of dynasties, but the surname Yao does not appear much in history. If it is the queen, I boldly assume that it should refer to Ni Yan, the king of the Ni Kingdom who unified the world back then, and the only queen who was canonized in his life. ”

Yi Sheng squinted, searching his brain for all the things he had heard about Empress Yao.

Lu Zhenyu looked at him very appreciatively, but he didn't expect Yi Shenghe to actually read some books.

"Yes, nephew. You're really impressive, you can remember such a long history. ”

"It's over, Uncle Yu. As a turning point in the history of the Ni Kingdom, it is said that Empress Yao has a certain status. I just flipped through it in a book and wrote it down. But what does Empress Yao have to do with Qiao Ling? ”

"Do you know what Empress Yao's full name is?"

"I don't know, the book only calls her Queen Yao."

"The full name of the Empress is Yao Qiao, and the Qiao Ling I just mentioned is the soul of the Empress Yao."

"But isn't the queen already dead? The soul must have been buried deep in the ground with the body. ”

Lu Zhenyu shook his head very heavily and sighed.

"Eh, virtuous nephew, there are some things that I have to tell you about well."

"Uncle Yu, listen up."

It is recorded in the book that when Yao Qiao was born, the sky suddenly brightened, and there was a vision between heaven and earth, but people did not feel that there was any connection. She was later canonized as the crown princess and was criticized again. People think she's just a goblin with a captivating face and bewitching Ni Yan. ”

"But I read the book, and the descendants have a very good evaluation of Empress Yao, is there any turning point in this?"

"The turning point was that before Ni unified the world, it was almost broken by several other countries. Ni Yan was only the crown prince at the time, and Yao Qiao was the crown princess. Until this incident happened, Ni Yan's father died, and Ni Yan became the hereditary king, and it was difficult to change the situation of the war. ”

"Didn't Ni Guo unify the world later?"

"Yes, that's because the country of Ni was almost destroyed at that time, and the city was captured one after another. Until he attacked the city of Yuansu, where Ni Yan lived at the time, Yao Qiao blocked a poisonous arrow from the enemy army for Ni Yan in order to protect Ni Yan. But she didn't die immediately at that time, but turned into a soul form, that is, Qiao Ling's possession. ”

When Yi Shenghe heard this, his eyes widened, and his face was full of incredulity.

"Uncle Yu, what is a soul form?"

"The soul form is the soul that is about to break away from itself before a person's physical body is about to die, but the consciousness still remains. As a result, the soul inherits the consciousness of the body, breaks through the shackles of the body, and is no longer affected by the damage suffered by the body. It is said that the whole body glows, but these are just legends, and they are not recorded in the history books, and no one can confirm them. ”

Yi Shenghe listened to what Lu Xia Yu said, and suddenly recalled the glowing appearance of Yi Shengge's chest at that time.

"And what else happened?"

It is said that at that time, in order to cover Ni Yan's retreat, Yao Qiao's whole body began to glow, and his soul broke through the control of his body. Between the two hands, a pipa was conjured, and the whole person was suspended in the air, stroking the handle with his left hand and playing with his right hand. The sound of the pipa enters the hearts of the people, and when it is played, you can hear the echo within a radius of ten miles. But all the invading enemy troops fell into a deep sleep and lost consciousness after hearing the sound of the lute. ”

"Uncle Yu, where did you hear this? This is too mysterious, right, how can it happen in real life? ”

"Listen to me first. When the enemy army fell into a deep sleep, the secret guards of Ni Guo were already lying in ambush on the left and right, stabbing their ears and leaving with Ni Yan. And the enemy soldiers who were in Ni Country at that time also died after Yao Qiao played for three days and three nights. ”

"What's going on?"

As the so-called pipa liver and intestines were broken, Yao Qiao played it for three days and three nights, and they all fell into a deep sleep, unable to wake up, and their bodies were weak. Ni Yan sent his own death squads, and rushed into Yuansu City one after another, killing all the invading enemy troops. ”

"What happened to Yao Qiao in the end?"

Yao Qiao played for three days and three nights, and her body couldn't support it. was originally poisoned by arrows, and by the time Ni Yan rushed over, he had already fallen to the ground and had lost his breath. However, she died for the great cause of Ni Guo and for Ni Yan, so she was praised to future generations. ”

When Lu Zhenyu said this, his eyes were full of regret.

"But didn't you say that Yao Qiao was just a concubine at the time, so why did she become Queen Yao later?"

"Ni Yan killed the generals of other countries who came to invade Ni State in that battle, and then formed an army and captured other countries, but these are all for later. It is reasonable that he dominates the world. Before unifying the world, Ni Yan also accepted concubines, but he only loved Yao Qiao in his life. After he became the new king of Ni Guo, the first thing he did was to posthumously crown Yao Qiao as the queen, and later generations called Yao Hou. ”

When Yi Shenghe heard this, he couldn't help but exclaim.

"Oh my God, I really didn't think that Ni Guo actually had such a history, is this all true? Uncle Yu. ”

Lu Zhenyu just smiled.

"No one can confirm whether these legends are true or not, after all, so many years have passed. These things are all things that I have lived in Yuansu City for so many years, and the descendants of the ancestors of Yuansu City have passed down the story from generation to generation. No one knows how far it is from the truth of history. ”

"In that case, it's not Ni Yan who unified the Ni Kingdom. It was because of the sacrifice of the queen and the sacrifice of her life that she exchanged her life for the glory and prosperity of the Ni Kingdom. ”

"Yes, this is why Empress Yao is rumored to be the first queen of Ni Kingdom. At that time, the soul form was called Qiao Ling's possession, which was actually the soul of the queen herself. There is also a legend that Empress Yao absorbed the aura between heaven and earth during her lifetime, which was enough to make Empress Yao live a long life, but she sacrificed herself for Ni Yan, which moved heaven and earth. ”

Lu Zhenyu paused for a moment, and Yi Shenghe didn't interrupt him, wanting to hear him continue.

Therefore, when Empress Yao died, her soul broke away from her body, turned into Qiao Ling, and flew into the air. It has become the immortal totem of Ni Kingdom, guarding every piece of land in Ni Kingdom. But Qiao Ling is not always wandering in the world, it has also been born in some women who are similar to Yao Qiao. However, they are all as infatuated as Queen Yao, and the final ending is often not very good. ”

Yi Shenghe blinked, looking incredulous.

"Uncle Yu, do you mean that now Qiao Ling has chosen Brother Ge? But according to your words, what it chooses should be a woman's body, and it is impossible to reincarnate into Brother Ge's body. ”

"Qiao Ling already has the consciousness of the remnants of the queen, and he may not want to repeat the mistakes of the past now. The people it possesses and guards in every life will end up with a tragic ending because of the people it loves. As a male, Yi Shengge has enough rationality, which may be the reason why Qiao Ling chose him. So I hesitated for a moment just now before I reacted to Qiao Ling's arrival on Yi Shengge. ”

"Then if Qiao Ling really befell Brother Ge, is it a good thing or a bad thing?"

"I can't judge this, it is said that Qiao Ling will guard the people it possesses and ensure their personal safety. But every generation of Qiao Ling's possessed people can't escape the fate of dying tragically for their beloved. Yi Shengge's fate is even more unknown. ”

When Yi Shenghe heard this, he lost his temper. This uncontrollable thing has now become a time bomb, tied to Yi Shengge's body, and he is helpless.

"The world is not stable now. If the news of Qiao Ling's possession of Yi Shengge is reported, it will definitely lead to wars between various countries and Ni Kingdom. At that time, Yi Shengge's life will be tied to Qiao Ling, and the assassins of other countries will definitely seize Qiao Ling's spirit and use it for the battle. Yi Shengge's life safety may not be guaranteed. ”

"But Uncle Yu, didn't you just say that Qiao Ling would protect Brother Ge?"

"You must know that every life of Qiao Ling is very desolate, and he has disappeared from the world for so long, and he doesn't know where to go. I have experienced so many different lives, but my fate cannot be changed. No one knows if Qiao Ling will turn into an evil spirit under the sorrow of generations to take revenge on the people of the world. All you need to do is to forget this secret, let alone let outsiders know, and protect Yi Shengge. ”

"Well, I know, and I ask Uncle Yu to keep it a secret as well."

Lu Zhenyu nodded, took a deep breath, and felt relieved that he had finished explaining.

Yi Shenghe's expression was still solemn, and there was no sense of relaxation.

"Then since things have developed to this point, I wonder if Uncle Yu has any ways to help?"

"It's not that there is no way, I once stumbled upon a secret recipe. It reads an elixir called Biyan Dan, which can inhibit Qiao Ling's consciousness and grow in the human body. ”

"Do you still have the prescription? Can you give it to me? ”

"The prescription has been destroyed, but I just happened to gather the medicinal materials back then, so I boiled it into a pill and kept it."

Yi Shenghe's eyes, which were already hopeless, were suddenly full of life again, and he was still a little nervous when he spoke.

"Then, Uncle Yu, can you find that pill now?"

"Of course."
