Chapter 305, Karma (1)

Seventeen years ago, the museum was completed, and the three brothers of the Yang family also dug the road into the underground sleeping palace at this time, and the three brothers entered the underground sleeping palace and brought out the obsidian, and then the three brothers were chased and killed by the ancient spirit of Wei Rampant, the eldest of the Yang family died, the second went crazy, the third was crippled and retired, and the obsidian was sent back to the underground sleeping palace by Yang Xu, and he never mentioned the obsidian again.

This is the version that Tang Yao heard from Yang Xu's mouth, after which Yang Xu was arrested by someone suspected of being from the Yanxue Society, and then the news of being killed came, Tang Yao knew so much, but now Rong Yan's words subverted Tang Yao's previous cognition.

"You said that among the three brothers of the Yang family, the most ambitious person turned out to be Yang Xu, did you give Yang Xu the obsidian stone in the first place?" Tang Yao asked.

Rong Yan nodded and said: "I remember that when the three brothers first came, Obsidian reacted to one of them, that is Yang Xu, Obsidian can spy on the dark side of people's hearts, the bigger the dark side, the more dangerous this person is, although there is darkness in the hearts of ordinary people, but it can't cause any reaction from Obsidian, but as soon as Yang Xu walked into the underground sleeping palace, Obsidian immediately reacted, and I knew that this person was not simple." ”

"Oh? So you say you can see the entire underground sleeping palace from here? Tang Yao asked.

Rong Yan stretched out her hand and gently stroked the black lotus stone platform, and saw that the petal leaves of the black lotus flower gradually turned into a translucent state, and when she looked down carefully, she could see that these translucent petals appeared on the scenes of various places in the underground sleeping palace, which was simply an ancient version of the monitor.

"Oh my dear, is this a monitor?" Tang Yao asked.

"This is a reflection of the ghostly light in the sleeping palace, although it is not clear, but it can also reflect some scenes in various parts of the sleeping palace, which helps me observe the anomalies in the sleeping palace." When Rong Yan spoke, Tang Yao actually saw Song Shun and Sanyu on a black lotus petal, but because he couldn't hear the sound, he could only see the blurred faces of the two, as if the two were talking to someone.

Retracting his gaze, Tang Yao asked, "Since you can see that Yang Xu is very ambitious, why did you let him take away the obsidian?" ”

"Because Yu Rampant and I are about to disappear, we rely on Obsidian to exist, but nearly twenty years ago, Obsidian suddenly began to interrupt the support for the two of us, without the help of Obsidian, we can't continue to exist, relying on the collection of the remaining power in the sleeping palace to barely survive to this day, but calculate the time, if you don't appear, I'm afraid that in another half a year at most, Wei Rampant and I will be completely wiped out." Rong Yan's words reminded Tang Yao that Wei Yan seemed to have said similar things before.

"What do you mean is that you and Yu Rampant, as existences similar to ancient spirits, have always relied on the energy given by the obsidian to maintain their state of existence, and when it was nearly twenty years ago, the obsidian suddenly and inexplicably interrupted the energy input to you, and as a result, you and Yu Rampant persisted for nearly twenty years, and now they are about to die, right, but this is not the reason why you gave the obsidian to Yang Xu."

"This is going to talk about my entanglement with Wei Rant, Wei Rampant is the lord of the royal fief given by the King of Zhou, and is also the prince of the ruling side, my family has been trying to restore the Shang Dynasty, and Wei Rampant has been looking for treasures that can help him seize the world, he heard about the seven extraterrestrial meteorites from the mouth of the witch, and tried his best to finally find the whereabouts of the meteorite, my clan has kept the obsidian for the emperor of the Shang Dynasty for generations, Wei Rampant pretended to communicate with our clan after knowing this, implying that he could help my clan restore the Shang Dynasty, The elders of my clan discussed and proposed to marry Wei Rampant, and I married Wei Rampant and Wei Rampant will secretly support our clan's restoration plan, Wei Rampant readily agreed, because he knew that I was the witch of the clan who chose to protect the obsidian stone, and he married me to have the opportunity to get close to the obsidian, in the process of discussing the marriage, my clan put forward three requirements to Wei Rampant, the first he wanted to build a palace for me, this palace is now this sleeping palace, the meaning of the sleeping palace is not the meaning of the place where Wei Rampant rests as later generations think, but the meaning of the place where the obsidian is placed, The construction of the sleeping palace was participated by the Soul Defeat Sect founded by our clan, and Wei Yi only needed to pay for it, so this sleeping palace Wei Yi did not step into it from the beginning of its construction, and it was not until the day of completion that he entered the sleeping palace. Rong Yan said, Tang Yao couldn't help but glance sideways at Wei Yan below.

"There are many institutions in the sleeping palace, there are countless traps, in fact, they are all built to protect the obsidian, including this statue, after the construction of the sleeping palace was completed, I officially married Wei Rampant, but only the name of husband and wife is not the reality of husband and wife, Wei Rampant has expressed to me many times in the dark, I want to try if I can pass the test of obsidian, I refused at first, but then he grinded hard and said that if I don't let him try the test of obsidian, he will stop funding our family plan, I have to discuss with the elders of the family,The elders decided to agree to this matter after discussion,And several old witches in the family joined forces for Wei Rampant.,So even if he failed the test, he had the opportunity to get out.,Wei Rampant participated in the test with confidence that day.,But it ended in failure.,Fortunately, I was rescued by the old witch of my clan and didn't die in the test of obsidian.,I thought that he could break his mind in this way.,But I didn't expect Wei Rampant to be more obsessed with getting obsidian.,I thought of many ways to pass the test of obsidian., After that, our clan prepared three more tests for him but all ended in failure, he still did not give up, but our clan was no longer willing to arrange another test for him, because he needed to sacrifice an old witch of our clan in exchange for his peace every time he failed the test, when Wei Rampant proposed to participate in the obsidian test for the fifth time, I and the elders of the clan categorically refused, that time the discussion made him very unhappy, and Wei Rampant also moved to kill at that time. Rong Yan said.

Hearing this, Tang Yao spoke: "So Wei Rampant took revenge on your family and the Soul Defeat Sect, right?" ”

Rong Yan nodded and said: "Yes, Wei Rampant coerced and lured our clan many times after that, but after being rejected, he became angry, so he sent his troops to raid our clan and the Soul Defeat Sect to divide the sect more, and finally caused many deaths of our clan and the Soul Defeat Sect, and at that time, the remaining part of the disciples and clansmen protected me and the Obsidian Stone to retreat to the underground sleeping palace, Wei Rampant rushed in with his cronies and a team of soldiers, and we used many traps in the sleeping palace to fight back, causing heavy casualties among the soldiers under Wei Rampant, In the end, only he and three of his cronies rushed into the depths of the sleeping palace: his close guards, his advisors, and a shrine maiden who had taken refuge in him. ”

When Tang Yao heard this, he felt that it corresponded to what happened on the Red Bridge before, so he nodded and said, "Then it seems that now they are all dead, right?" ”

"They did die, but they didn't disappear completely, that time I and the rest of the disciples had a fierce battle with the four of them, and in the end only I and the four people on the other side were left, but they were all exhausted, at this time, the obsidian suddenly changed, releasing a very strong evil aura all around, I couldn't see anything at that time, and when I woke up, it was already what it is now, like an ancient spirit but not exactly the same as an ancient spirit, I rely on the obsidian to exist, and through the obsidian to gain the power to exist, and the same is true for those four peopleBut among the five of us who have been turned into ancient spirits, only Wei Rampant and I still retain the memories and thoughts of our lifetime, and the other three have turned into puppets without their own thoughts. ”

Tang Yao asked strangely when he heard this: "But it seems that Wei Yi can't walk through those three paths, what's going on, and it seems that Wei Yi can leave the ground, but why can't you?" ”

"Wei Yi was stronger than me in life, and he is more powerful than me after death, he can indeed leave the underground sleeping palace for a short time to go to the surface, but he can't stay for a long time, if he is too far away from the obsidian, he will continue to weaken and decline, and he can't get close to the range of the idol, because I have been staying here, if he approaches the idol and tries to take away the obsidian, he will be hindered by me, now we are all ancient spirit bodies, no one can help anyone, and on those three paths, I have arranged my clan organs, among which there are special secret techniques to restrain ancient spiritsIf he stepped on any of these paths, he would encounter great difficulties, and even the body of the ancient spirit might be difficult to preserve. ”

Tang Yao nodded, the ins and outs of the matter were gradually clarified, of course, he didn't completely believe Rong Yan's words, just as a reference.

"What about Yang Xu, he came here, and you gave him the obsidian again, do you hope that he can inherit the obsidian?" Tang Yao asked.

I didn't think that Rong Yan really nodded.
