271 A mausoleum of one man, a hundred years of loneliness
On the huge eaves three feet above the ground, there is a picture of a phoenix that covers the whole space, the wings are spread, as if it is soaring wantonly in a white sky, and the four ice walls are carved with a sea of fire, the flames are burning, the fire seems to be about to spread to the phoenix tail in the sky, a thrilling picture of the two competing with each other.
It seemed that all the voices in his ears were cut off, Chu Muruo's, Chu Boyuan's, and even the Taoist priest's, all of whom were faintly talking about something, all turned into the sound of those flames burning and crackling.
Involuntarily, Xia Xiaoxiao's feet walked towards the ice palace step by step, stepping on the ground, it was a picture of the mountains and rivers of the prosperous era carved out of the smooth ice wall, but in the blink of an eye, those still pictures seemed to come to life in a moment as Xia Xiaoxiao's sight could see, the battlefield of war and chaos, the sound of artillery fire, thousands of troops, swords and swords, at that moment were all lost to people's eyes, the white bones were exposed, and the blood stained the country, but the man prayed in a low voice, Ze Yi, where are you?
Every step was like stepping on her heart, as if something was pulling her, and then she also saw that in the center of the ice palace, an ice coffin was lying quietly, and there seemed to be a figure lying quietly inside, and the sound of war in her ears was getting louder and louder, with the heart-piercing pain of that gun.
Many years ago, the man whispered, "Life is my man, death is my soul, and you are dead, and you need to be buried with me in a mausoleum." ”
"That's nature, if I don't accompany you, you will be lonely on the Huangquan Road."
But later, if the heavens and the earth can no longer find that person, a word becomes a prophecy, a mausoleum, and a hundred years of loneliness.
Xia Xiaoxiao looked at the corpse lying quietly in the ice coffin, and sat on the ground weakly, looking at the familiar face and familiar figure in the ice coffin, gently caressing the person's delicate facial features through the cold and piercing ice coffin, and the tears in his eyes fell to the ground, "Shen Moqi, I watched your reign on the Huangquan Road, but where are you ......?"
The trembling voice can't say it, if it's love, why don't you say it, if you don't love, why should you suffer after letting go, only when you smile at the end, the person who hates feels that the hatred is valuable, but what has become of it now?
Sleeping alone in the imperial mausoleum, guarding what she once lost, can she still find the figure that once haunted her dreams?
She stood up suddenly, and then tried hard to open the ice coffin, but she couldn't push it, and she still whispered to him over and over again, Mo Qi, Mo Qi.
It was like many years ago, when the snow was falling, she snuggled into his arms and looked at the prosperous mountains and rivers together, whispering his name over and over again, no longer cold in the cold winter, no longer lonely.
Suddenly, a sword pierced the heart in the chest!
"Xia Xiaoxiao!" Chu Muruo let out a frightened voice.
Xia Xiaoxiao's eyes widened violently, slowly lowered her head, looking at the long sword that pierced her chest, the bright red blood dripped from the tip of the sword to the ground little by little, she raised her eyes, through the ice coffin, she could almost see the figure that appeared behind her, wearing a green robe, spotless, perfect without a trace of flaws, the demon face was like the temperature in this ice palace, cold to the bone.
The pain, which spread from the mind to the whole body, especially the sword in the chest, was too clear a pain.
Then the sword was violently withdrawn from her body, and the hot blood splashed at Murong Tianlian's feet, Xia Xiaoxiao fell weakly in front of him, looking at the cold killing intent in the man's eyes.
Blood flowed all over the ground, some splashed on his green robe, some splashed on the ice coffin in front of her, and through the ice coffin, it was like the white and bloodless face of the person lying in the ice coffin was also stained with such a little flaw.
Look, she said that Murong Tianlian had always wanted to kill her, but if she wanted to kill, she would kill, so why bother to let her come here?
In fact, it doesn't hurt much, but it is a little familiar, as if the same place has been stabbed like this once, but the eyelids are too heavy, and in such a cold ice palace, it is easy to make people sleepy.
But Mo Qi ......
Murong Qianlian's long sword in his hand pointed obliquely at the ground, and a drop of blood drawn from her body dripped down the tip of the sword to the ground, he looked coldly at Xia Xiaoxiao lying on the ground, her face was already covered with tears and was stained with the blood that had spilled from her body at this time, which was even more terrifying, I saw her slowly stretch out her hand, trying to touch the cheek of the person lying still in the ice coffin......
The fingertips holding the hilt of the sword tightened, the joints of the bones turned white little by little, and the pale face of the woman at his feet was reflected in the pupils.
Everything in front of him happened too suddenly, Chu Muruo looked at Murong Tianlian who suddenly appeared in this ice palace in disbelief, and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, no, it was that man who was too weird, from the moment they came in to the present, they didn't see any other figures at all, and even everyone lost their minds for a moment, and they didn't even notice when he appeared!
And when she saw the scene in front of her again, she couldn't help but gasp, "Murong Tianlian, what are you doing!" ”
She took two steps forward and was suddenly stopped by Chu Boyuan, who also looked at Murong Tianlian standing in front of the ice coffin with puzzled eyes, "Lord Murong Mansion, the person you want I brought in for you, isn't it time for Lord Murong to fulfill his promise?" ”
Chu Boyuan's old face was a little guarded at this time, the Nanming Imperial Mausoleum has been in the past seven hundred years, only the people who have sat on the throne in the past seven hundred years know how to get in, but this person does not include Murong Tianlian, no one knows how he walked in, and he is still ahead of them!
However, none of this matters, Murong Tianlian is not interested in that totem, this is known to all those who want to get the totem and want to get immortality, so from Helian Chi to him, and even Beigong Pheasant leaving Beigong Yu, these people are willing to make deals with him, just because he has the ability and does not pose a threat to them, and besides, there are too many secrets he knows.
In the ice coffin in the center of the Ice Palace, it was Shen Moqi, the Xuanjing Emperor of the Xuanjing Kingdom who was buried seven hundred years ago, when the world was six minutes old, he wanted to open the coffin, and he didn't dare to be interested in Shen Moqi, just because he was the first and only person who had six pairs of totems in his hands at the same time!
No one knows what happened later, but what everyone doesn't know is that the six points of the world were created by Emperor Xuanjing himself, and it was only the ability of the totem in his hands!
And at this time, he was carrying one of the six totems in his arms!
But he couldn't open the ice coffin, the last time the imperial tomb collapsed, there was a vision in the sky, so he came in to check it, and thought of several ways to open the ice coffin, but it never moved, no one knew what material it was made of, and he couldn't even move, but Murong Tianlian had a way!
He had heard that Murong Tianlian liked to trade, and he only did business, never doing loss-making business, but what he didn't expect was that Murong Tianlian had only one condition, to bring Xia Xiaoxiao to this mausoleum!
Xia Xiaoxiao, once Helian Chi wanted to get a totem from her, but unfortunately, the last human skin totem was on Xia Yingxi's body.
"Lord Murong, the people of Beigong Pheasant are outside, and I don't have so much time for you to waste."
Chu Boyuan walked to Murong Tianlian's side, and also looked coldly at Xia Xiaoxiao, who had fallen at his feet, since the person was already in his hands, it didn't matter to him whether he was dead or alive, all he cared about was the totem that Shen Moqi was holding!
Chu Muruo didn't know about the transaction between Chu Boyuan and Murong Tianlian, but he could only watch quietly from the side, Xia Xiaoxiao fainted next to the ice coffin, there was a slight rise and fall on his chest, and the continuous blood was still flowing from the wound on his chest to the ground, and even the edge of the ice coffin on the side was also dyed red by the flowing blood, strangely, in such a cold place, the blood that flowed from Xia Xiaoxiao's body was not coagulated in an instant.
Then her gaze gradually moved upward, until she landed on the ice coffin, and was stunned for a moment, and a peerless face appeared in front of her eyes.
To say, Murong Qianlian is definitely the most perfect-looking person she has ever seen, even if she likes Beigong Pheasant, but this is undeniable, but at this time, the person in the ice coffin, the appearance of lying still, is so beautiful that people almost forget that he is just a corpse that has been dead for hundreds of years!
This is Emperor Xuanjing, who unified the world six minutes ago seven hundred years ago?
Too young.
couldn't help it, Chu Muruo seemed to have forgotten that there was a layer of ice coffin separated by it, and his hand slowly stroked the face of the person on the ice coffin, Murong Tianlian's eyes on the side condensed, the chill in his eyes had not yet faded, and the long sword fell right under Chu Muruo's hand, Chu Muruo lost his mind, and his palm was cut by the sharp blade, and she shouted, "Murong Tianlian, what are you doing!" ”
"The owner of this building is not in a hurry, what are you in a hurry?"
Murong Tianlian glanced at her lightly, and then looked at the tip of the sword that touched Chu Muruo's palm, as if he was extremely disgusted, and threw the long sword aside.
"Murong Tinglian, are you looking for death?"
Chu Muruo was enraged by his demeanor, raised the long whip on his waist, and suddenly attacked Murong Tinglian!
She has been held in the palm of her hand by Chu Boyuan all her life, and she is willing to suffer in the hands of Beigong Pheasant, but she loves him, but this does not mean that any person can be so disdainful of her!
"By you?"
Murong Tianlian chuckled sneeringly, his arm seemed to flick at random, and a strong wind passed, and Chu Muruo's figure that had just attacked suddenly turned around and slammed into the jade door!
A huge sound sounded in the ice palace, and when everyone came back to their senses, Chu Muruo had already fallen to the ground, a mouthful of blood spit out from her mouth, she raised her eyes resentfully, but she only saw the cold chill in Murong Tianlian's eyes, and a chilling sense of fear permeated from the bottom of her heart.
Murong Tinglian only glanced at her lightly and then withdrew his gaze, arranging his somewhat messy sleeves indifferently, and even Chu Boyuan on the side was shocked, and immediately sank his face, but he didn't dare to say anything, because of this sudden scene, the ice palace suddenly fell silent.
But after only half a moment, Chu Muruo's figure that had just gotten up from the ground suddenly fell down heavily, only to feel a sharp pain in her chest, she looked at her hand in disbelief, it was already dark blue, and she was about to question what Murong Tianlian had done to her, but her eyes were fixed by the pool of blood she spit out on the ground.
The blood color that had solidified, and then she slowly raised her head again, as the silence around her was so quiet that only the faint breathing of people could be heard, from where, as if there was a rumbling sound, and it was like something was slowly cracking, until she saw the figure of Xia Xiaoxiao not far away, a bright red, Murong Lian's sword stabbing her was a murderous intent, at this time, the clothes on her body had been dyed red by the blood that flowed out of her body, and then flowed along the ground a little bit, without coagulation!
At this time, Chu Boyuan and even the Taoist priest who were present seemed to have reacted to something, and even his breathing became heavy, and when Chu Muruo looked at the bloodshot that spread out from under Xia Xiaoxiao's body and then flowed down the lines on the ground to her hands, he suddenly found that the tattoos on the ice under their feet were actually a blood-colored mountain and river map!
What Xia Xiaoxiao saw from the moment she entered here, they really had to rely on her blood to spread out to see!
Boom Boom –
Just as everyone's eyes were focused on the pattern on the ground, and when they were in this incredible scene, a burst of earthquakes and mountain cracks suddenly came from overhead!
"What sound?!"
Chu Boyuan was the first to react, looking up at the heavenly wall, and similarly, he also saw the Qingluan diagram that gradually emerged on it, and then his eyes suddenly turned to the ice coffin in front of him, only to see that the ice coffin that had been unable to open no matter what method he used was slowly opening at this time!
A touch of ecstasy gradually appeared in his eyes, "It's open, it turns out that this is the way to open the ice coffin!" ”
Chu Boyuan took two steps towards the ice coffin, and his hands gently caressed the lid of the coffin that was slowly moving downward, and the face of the person in the ice coffin appeared in his eyes little by little, no longer through the blurred face of the ice coffin, it was clearly visible, and then when the coffin lid was moved halfway, his hand slammed into the arms of the corpse!
"Found it! Got it! That's it! ”
The excitement on his face could no longer be hidden, and he finally found the totem he had longed for for too long from the bosom of the corpse, the torn and yellowed canvas, the intricate patterns on it, and at a glance, he recognized it as what he had been looking for!
Murong Tinglian's eyes indifferently looked at the excitement on Chu Boyuan's old face, and he twisted his eyebrows in disgust, he lowered his eyes, looked at Xia Xiaoxiao who was lying motionless at his feet, and then looked at the blood that was still flowing from her, and his eyes suddenly sank to the darkest.
Chu Boyuan carefully pocketed the totem, and at this time, the Taoist priest who had been silent on the side wrung his eyebrows and glanced at Murong Tianlian, as well as the pattern of that place, and finally stepped forward and reminded in a low voice, "Your Majesty, since the things have been obtained, we should withdraw." ”
At this time, the people who left Beigong Pheasant were outside, and if they went out later......
Chu Boyuan came back from his great joy at this time, as if he had just remembered something, and his eyes fell on the figure that fell to the ground!
Xia Xiaoxiao, I only thought that Helian Chi's appearance was just a recognition of the wrong person, but I didn't expect it to be so useful! It takes its blood to open this ice coffin, but there is no need to think about it, and you know that there must be something on this woman, otherwise how could you provoke Beigong Yu and Beigong Pheasant to be unwilling to hand over people without spending such a large amount of troops?
"Emperor Nanming, since the things have arrived, it's better to take the path you should take."
Sensing Chu Boyuan's greedy and undisguised gaze, Murong Tianlian put his hands on his side, slowly stepped forward, and picked up Xia Xiaoxiao's body from the ground, then he looked down at some of the blood on his body, frowned unhappily again, and then walked from the direction of the jade gate with the person in his arms without looking back.
Chu Boyuan didn't dare to stop him, with the skills of a few of them here, it was impossible to get any benefits in Murong Qianlian's hands.
But Chu Bo was far from stopping, so naturally someone stopped him.
"Murong Qianlian, what have you done to me!"
Chu Muruo dragged his seriously injured body to his feet, threw the long whip in his hand, and just wrapped it firmly around the jade gate, blocking Murong Lian's way.
Her hands have changed dark blue, and now even the blood on her face has gradually faded, and there is still a breath of turbidity in her chest, which is obviously a sign of poisoning!
"If you don't want to die, get out of the way."
Murong tilted his eyes slightly, glanced at her casually, and looked down at the pale face of the person in his arms, those tears that had dried up were mixed with bloodstains, because the temperature was too low in the ice palace, and even the eyelashes were covered with a thin layer of cold frost, his eyes sank, and the impatience in his heart was even worse.
Chu Muruo only felt a mouthful of blood gushing up his throat, and also looked at Xia Xiaoxiao in his arms, Xia Xiaoxiao's chest still had a slight rise and fall, the person was not dead, if Murong Tianlian took the person out at this time, then her efforts so far would be in vain!
She can't let Murong Tinglian take people out no matter what!
Thinking of this, Chu Muruo's eyes flashed fiercely, and he didn't even care about the poison on his body, he violently withdrew the long whip, took out a dagger from his arms, and stabbed Xia Xiaoxiao's neck at a very fast speed!
The light of the knife flashed into people's eyes, Murong Tianlian only snorted coldly, his toes were slightly pointed, and the figure holding Xia Xiaoxiao jumped back violently, and then fell lightly to Chu Boyuan's side, already a little angry, "Emperor Nanming, I don't want your favorite daughter to die at the hands of the lord of this building, it is best to disappear in front of the lord of this building immediately." ”
"Father! Can't let him go out with Xia Xiaoxiao! ”
Chu Muruo became anxious when he heard this, "Father, you promised me!" Exchange Xia Xiaoxiao for the totem in your hand, and you will make Xia Xiaoxiao disappear! ”
She knows too well that one day when Xia Xiaoxiao is there, Beigong Pheasant Li will not look at her more than any matter what, but she can't do it herself, then Beigong Pheasant Li will hate her, she doesn't want that result, no matter who it is, as long as Xia Xiaoxiao dies in the mausoleum, then there is no proof of death, and he can't resent her!
Chu Boyuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and those wrinkles were piled up and he could barely see the bottom of his eyes, "The owner of Murong Mansion only said that I would bring people to this mausoleum, but he didn't say that he would also take people out......"
Murong Tinglian listened to him quietly, the corners of his lips hooked slightly, and he suddenly chuckled, "Old fox." ”
"Lord Murong has won the award," Chu Boyuan shook the totem in his sleeve, looked at the figure in Murong Tianlian's arms with burning eyes, and also chuckled, "Now that the deal has been completed, you and I are both people in the same boat, why didn't Lord Murong tell me where this woman came from?" ”
Xia Yingxi has skin on his body, Xia Xiaoxiao has blood on his body, and there are two people from Yue Huaxia's family.
"How, the owner of this building needs to explain to you?"
Seeing that Murong Tinglian still had no intention of leaving people behind, Chu Boyuan said lightly, "Lord Murong Lou," he said unhurriedly, "To put it mildly, the totem on Xia Yingxi's body seems to be of a somewhat unknown origin, Beigong Yu brought the two daughters of the Xia family to the palace at the same time, it seems that he just wanted to get something from these two people, otherwise he would not have been able to destroy the entire Xia Mansion when Xia Fu realized that Beigong Yu would take the lives of these two people." ”
In the pain, due to excessive blood loss and serious injuries, Xia Xiaoxiao's entire face was so pale that there was no blood, and the long eyelashes that were tightly closed trembled slightly.
Chu Boyuan's slow laughter sounded in this empty space again, "Including this time, if I want to say that I would have thought of using Xia Xiaoxiao to make a deal with you, at best, it was Beigong Yu himself who threw Xia Xiaoxiao in front of Beigong Pheasant Li as a lure, otherwise I really don't know how much weight this woman still has in Beigong Pheasant, and I won't let me have such a good opportunity to make Beigong Pheasant Li use it for me in this war." ”
"After all, what does Lord Murong mean is that the deal with Beigong Yu is more cost-effective than mine?"
Otherwise, what reason did Murong Tinglian have to send Xia Xiaoxiao to Beigong Pheasant? It's just because Beigong Yu planned to send Xia Xiaoxiao to Beigong Pheasant at the end of this battle at the beginning, so as to shake Beigong Pheasant, so as to win back the situation in this battle that is impossible to win.
It's just that Beigong Yu didn't expect that Chu Boyuan intervened from Zhongzhong, and Murong Qianlian also had his purpose, when he arrived, Xia Xiaoxiao was really no longer in the hands of Beigong Pheasant, but was brought to this mausoleum by Chu Muruo!
Chu Muruo listened on the side, and her heart gradually rose a little shocked, what she saw, and once thought that at least Beigong Yu really had affection for Xia Xiaoxiao, but she never thought that there were so many conspiracies to use it, she turned her face sideways and looked at Xia Xiaoxiao who was still unconscious in Murong Tianlian's arms, and for the first time there was some sympathy in her eyes.
At least, Beigong Pheasant shows that she doesn't love her clearly, then, what about Beigong Yu?
Murong Qianlian's eyes lowered, falling on Xia Xiaoxiao's face, his long eyebrows frowned slightly, and then raised his eyes to look at Chu Boyuan not far away, "The transaction of the owner of this building, it is not your turn to ask," he sneered with great disdain, "Get out of the way, the owner of this building doesn't want to get his hands dirty." ”
The implication is that even if he does it, he doesn't plan to talk nonsense.
But Murong Tianlian's attitude alone made Chu Boyuan even more convinced that there was something else in Xia Xiaoxiao's body, "The owner of the Murong Mansion is a businessman, you should know what kind of transaction is the most cost-effective, you just went out from here, there are tens of millions of soldiers and horses guarding outside," Chu Boyuan smiled, "No matter how strong the Lord of the Murong Mansion is, no matter how strong his martial arts are, he must not be able to fight against an army by one person......"
