Chapter 047: The Woman in the Frozen Grave
"I see! In other words, by dropping a drop of blood on the jade pendant, I can turn into a black-tailed leafhopper, and if I recite the Sanskrit sound three times, I can change back to my original appearance. In this way, in times of crisis, I can protect my mother and sister in this way. ”
After Jun Buyu turned back into a baby, he sat on the ground, excitedly looked at the jade pendant that had turned back into dark blue in his palm, and said to himself.
Then he took another look at the water hole, which was still steaming and spinning rapidly, as if anything that came close would be swept into the whirlpool.
At this time, a five-toed jerboa jumped from a distance, chasing a lizard behind it, perhaps in order to escape for its life, and panicked, at the moment of seeing the water hole, the jerboa actually did not hesitate, jumped high, and just fell into the water hole.
"Poof...... ......A dull cracking sound was followed by a scream, and the jerboa soon burst all over, turning into a pool of blood, and was swept into the water hole by the whirlpool.
Then the lizard, which caught up with him, saw that the jerboa was gone, and heard the jerboa scream, and watched cautiously on the sand by the water hole for a while, then turned around and ran away, as if he had seen something very terrifying.
When Jun Buyu saw this scene, he was also shocked, glad that he and his sister ran fast just now, otherwise if they were swept into the water hole by the whirlpool, the result should be the same.
It's just that Jun Buyu has always been curious about why that ancient book mysteriously disappeared here, and where does this water hole lead? And why does the third page of the ancient book depict him and his sister coming here?
Obviously, he knew in his heart that the ancient book that had shone brightly, attracted the attention of him and his sister, and led them here again, there must have been some kind of purpose, but the only ancient book that he and his sister had come here to give them hints had disappeared again.
So what should I do next, Jun Buyu is also at a loss, enter the water hole to find out, it is tantamount to asking for a dead end.
If he just sat by the water hole for a few hours and went home in disgrace when the time came, he felt very unwilling, so he decided to take a risk, that is, to try it in the form of a frozen black-tailed leafhopper and enter the water hole.
Because he felt that after turning into a black-tailed leafhopper just now, his whole body was very energetic, especially the snow-white layer of ice on his body was extremely cold and hard, and he had an intuition that maybe he could really resist the high temperature of the water hole.
"Crackling ......"
Thinking of this, Jun Buyu stood up again, bit his fingertips with a firm face, and dropped a drop of blood on the jade pendant, and sure enough, as he expected, with the sound of bones all over his body, he turned into a huge black-tailed leafhopper again.
When he came to the water hole, he first stretched out one of his claws, put his fingertips into the whirlpool and tried it, and then put his whole paw into the water hole, and he found that the claw did not melt due to the heat, except that it felt a little warm.
Apparently the ice on his paws was still able to resist the heat of the hot water.
In this way, he doubled his confidence, turned his head to look at his sister who was still sleeping soundly in the sand, picked up the jade pendant that had turned golden again, put it in his mouth, and after holding it tightly, he flew directly above the water hole without hesitation, suddenly retracted his wings, and fell into the water hole in an instant, and disappeared.
After he fell into the water hole, the water hole slowly shrank, and finally closed completely and disappeared, that is, the sand returned to its original state, as if there had been no whirlpools and water holes before.
Of course, all this happened quietly, so she didn't wake up Yudie, who was still asleep, she just turned over slightly, didn't know what to say, and fell asleep again......
At this time, a white-robed man wearing a round yin and yang gossip mask slowly appeared, he glanced at the location of the water hole before, and said in a very puzzled tone:
"Sure enough, someone is going against the sky, secretly changing the fate of this Lotus Born Heavenly Prince, and even giving him the ability to incarnate a black-tailed leafhopper, who will this person be? Even my dignified god operator Hexagram Liansheng can't guess his thoughts, and I can't control the future of Jun Buyu, it seems that my opponent is no less than me! You should be more careful in the future. Hey, since you're here, just help you not to solve your worries. ”
Hexagram Liansheng muttered to himself for a while, then glanced at Yu Die, who was sleeping soundly in the sand, and waved his hand, only to see Yu Die appear in his arms very strangely, and then they disappeared together......
Not long after, in the cellar of Nalan Qiqing's house, Gua Liansheng slowly appeared with Yudie in his arms, he gently put Yudie back on the ground, helped her cover the quilt, and glanced meaningfully at Nalan Qiqing who was sleeping next to him, before slowly disappearing......
……
At this moment, it is already midnight ugly, in the wasteland north of Yanjia Village, there are many small earthen bags, and there are stone tablets erected in front of the soil bags, most of these stone tablets are old, and some of them are new, obviously this is the cemetery of Yanjia Village.
Behind the new steles, the villagers were buried in the winds and hail of the night before the frozen October.
It stands to reason that there should be no one here in such a late-night, cold, dark, and cautious cemetery.
However, at this moment, the weeds on a grave that looked old and somewhat dilapidated were pushed away a little by a snow-white hand, and a pair of eyes were exposed inside, watching vigilantly, as if sensing that there was no one outside, and a woman with a pale face with a disheveled hair crawled out of it with great difficulty.
If anyone saw it at this moment, they would definitely faint with fright, after all, in the middle of the night, no matter what crawled out of the mound, it would make people shudder.
This woman was dressed in black and wore a sword at her waist, so she should still be a good woman.
When she got out of the grave, she staggered to her feet, and without bothering to pat the dirt on her body, she made a slight discerning direction, and walked towards the village in the dark.
This person was during the pregnancy ceremony, and quietly brought a group of ghost guards to sneak into the ghost rose in Yanjia Village, of course, the real ghost rose was actually dead a long time ago, she was Nangong Xuan wearing a mask and pretending to be a ghost rose, that is, Lan Guifei's own sister, Li Jiaxi's biological mother.
During the Heavenly Pregnancy Ceremony, dozens of ghost guards she brought secretly ambushed around the central square, firstly, to secretly protect the smooth progress of the Heavenly Pregnancy Ceremony, and secondly, to quietly take away Nalan Qiqing, who was pregnant with the Lotus Born Heavenly Son, and bring it back to the palace after the Heavenly Pregnancy Ceremony was successful, so as to realize her plan to dominate the world.
However, Nangong Xuan never expected that on the night of the eighty-first day, that is, two hours before the end of the pregnancy ceremony, when she patrolled to the entrance of the village, she inadvertently saw that her two subordinates had inexplicably turned into a pool of blood, and hurriedly went to check on the other guards, and found that they had also turned into a pool of blood and evaporated.
At that moment, she understood that her plan had failed, and that there was a mysterious killer in the village who was not something she could fight against, and he was also a master.
So in order to avoid ending up with the same fate, she originally wanted to escape from Yanjia Village, but if she returned to the palace empty-handed like this, she knew that Concubine Lan would not let her go.
And it also destroyed the plan she had conceived a long time ago, so she was unwilling to run away like this, and wanted to gamble again, betting that this mysterious master was not here to kill the son of Lotus, so it would not conflict with her plan.
With the heart of wealth and danger, she decided to continue to lurk in Yanjia Village, wait for the success of the pregnancy ceremony, and then find a way to infiltrate the village to find out the news after the villagers relaxed their vigilance, and once it was confirmed that Nalan Qiqing was successfully pregnant with the Lotus Son of Heaven, she would find a way to hijack Nalan Qiqing back to the palace, so that her plan could continue.
So she gritted her teeth and found a long-standing grave in the cemetery of the most cautious person in Yanjia Village as her temporary hiding place, after all, the mysterious master would not come to the cemetery, and as for the other villagers, they would hardly come here, so she was sure that she would not be discovered.
After the pregnancy ceremony, she also heard the sound of the villagers looking up to the sky and shouting loudly in celebration in the grave, and she knew that it should be a success.
However, she was worried that the mysterious master was still in the village, so she planned to continue to lurk.
She guessed that the villagers would come to the cemetery the next day to tell their deceased relatives the good news after such a happy event, so that she could know what she wanted by listening to the villagers' chats in the grave.
Who knows, at the middle of the night that day, there was a sudden thunder and hail, and soon the grave where she was hiding was frozen, which was equivalent to burying her alive, and after that, she was sealed in the grave for ten months!
It wasn't until ten months later, when the ice was over, that the ice and snow on her grave began to melt, and she gradually woke up, and by the time she had recovered and her body was able to move, it was already the third day after the end of the frozen October.
But when she heard another cry outside, and the noisy digging and carrying sounds, she didn't dare to come out of the grave.
After listening to the villagers' discussions, she learned that she had been frozen in this mound for ten months, and even Nalan Qiqing had given birth to a lotus son.
It's just that Nalan Qiqing seems to have concealed her identity and assumed the pseudonym Lan Qi in this village, and other villagers won't feel a problem when they hear the name Lan Qi, because how can such remote villagers know the queen's name.
But Nangong Xuan was different, she heard the villagers mention that Lan Qi gave birth to a son, and after naming her Qing Buyu, she instantly guessed that it was Nalan Qiqing.
At that moment, she was also extremely disappointed in her heart, obviously this sudden ice freeze completely disrupted her plans, and now that ten months have passed, maybe something has happened in the palace that she doesn't know!
So even if she brought Nalan Qiqing's mother and son back to the palace now, I am afraid it would be useless, and suddenly she was angry for a while, and because of the ice that caused her to be extremely weak, she fainted again.
In the next few days, because the villagers had been cleaning up the ruins of the village overnight, and from time to time they would come to the cemetery to bury the corpses of the villagers dug up from the ruins, so she occasionally woke up, but she still did not dare to show up, and barely survived by the melting snow.
It was not until the evening of the seventh day, when the villagers finally went to sleep, that she crawled out of the grave, and she went to a few villagers' houses in the dark to steal some food, and when she was full, she took a little more, and left Yanjia Village, and hurried back to the imperial city......
