259. Ying Ning's death
There is one thing that I have forgotten, there are two in the purple gold box itself, one is that of the Khitan King thousands of years ago, which has been confirmed in the Soul City as the key to open the door of life and death in the ancient castle; One was given to me by my grandmother.
There are two possibilities, one is that the monk went to the Soul City five hundred years ago, saw the appearance of the purple gold box, and then copied one, and even the purple jade ring may have been found in the Soul City, and he put it in the box and gave it to the ancestors of the family; The second is that there were originally two boxes, and after the wizard Yao was withdrawn from Ningcheng to a different space, he created two purple gold boxes, one became the key to life and death, and the other was to put the ring in and lock it, and then it was taken away by Fang Shi five hundred years ago.
There is a prerequisite for both of these possibility, that is, Fang Shi has been to Soul City, and I prefer the latter. Because in the first possibility, the purple gold box that opened the door of life and death was found in the Khitan descendant village after Jiuzhaigou, which means that there is no purple gold box in the soul city for him to simulate and copy. But there is also a contradiction in the second, the shadow moon is the weapon of the wizard Yao, it has a sense of the purple gold box that opens the door of life and death, and when it is cut down, it will be repulsed, and at that time, it was judged that both were the things of the Khitan king, that is, the witch Yao's, so it was so. However, Shadow Moon has no sense of my box at all, which means that this box is not made by a wizard, and it can be judged that they are not of the same era.
At this point, there may be contradictions between the two, and we can only think about it from another angle.
Assuming that these are ignored, according to the previous inference, except for us who have been to the Soul City outside the magnetic field space, there is only Huang Xingyuan, who took away the secret art and the purple gold box to create Huang Xingyuan's faction, and from this time on, the magic mystery began to spread in the world. Therefore, it can be roughly judged that this Huang Xingyuan is a priest who gave the box of the ancestor of the Cheng family, and the occult arts he taught are also a very small part of the magic mysticism, so later my grandmother learned the secret techniques of Chen Bing and He Yunlai, and she could understand them thoroughly.
Suddenly I remembered something, and my heart rippled. On the isolated island on the return trip to Dian Island, I found that the sixth person who left was named Huang Yao, and the time happened to be five hundred years ago, so I suspected that Huang Yao was Huang Xingyuan, and maybe even another reincarnation of the wizard Yao. If that's the case, isn't it true that these things were actually done by Sheng Shiyao in his previous life?
I'm a little confused, let's sort it out from the beginning, Yao Yao, a wizard of the Dian Kingdom two thousand years ago, was the first to have a purple jade ring, and it is certain that the mold of the purple gold box must have been made by him, as for making one or two, I won't analyze it for the time being; A thousand years ago, his second Khitan King obtained one of the purple gold boxes, which was used as the key to open the door of life and death in the Soul City Castle, and he should have obtained it together with the shadow moon and the box, so it is estimated that he also recovered the memory of the wizard in this life; Five hundred years ago, if Huang Yao was Huang Xingyuan, and Huang Xingyuan was the third wizard, it was not by chance that he entered the Soul City, did he also recover the memory of his previous life, and then deliberately went to find it?
No, this idea was rejected by me, because if he recovered the memory of his previous life, then he would be able to remember the secret art formula, and he would no longer need to take the booklet from the soul city, and he would not name the secret art Huang Xingyuan in the next life. Therefore, it is very likely that he has no memory of his previous life in this life, but he found the ancestor of the family to give him a box so coincidentally, and taught occultism.
A flash of inspiration occurred in my mind, and I suddenly realized that I might have thought about it, intuitively because Shadow Moon had a sense of that box and then decided that the box belonged to Wizard Yao, but I ignored that Ying Ning was also the owner of Shadow Moon!
The relief paintings and those mechanisms in the Soul City Castle were all made by Ying Ning, and the key to open the door of life and death, that is, the box obtained by Sheng Shiyao, was naturally her object. She has the ability to predict, but she can predict the future generations, since she can predict that we will go in two thousand years, it must also be able to predict that Huang Xingyuan will get the secret technique five hundred years ago. So it is very likely that she left a hint on what to do after Huang Xingyuan got the secret technique, looking for the Cheng family to teach the secret technique, and giving the purple gold box, all of which were her instructions.
And these prophecy hints were taken away or removed by Huang Xingyuan, or in a certain location, we did not find it.
Inferring from this, this possibility is the closest to the truth, and Ying Ning really arranged everything.
I asked Zhuang Yu, what is the real purpose of him taking us to Dian Island, to the 100,000 mountains, and then to this Fuxian Lake?
By this time, I no longer thought that he really wanted to recreate a Dian kingdom as he seemed. He has lived for so long, watching the operation of the long river of history, knowing that history cannot be changed, and even if he really lets Sheng Shiyao use magic to reverse time and space and restore this royal city, it is no longer the original Dian Kingdom. Then his purpose is definitely not this, it should also be related to Ying Ning's prophecy.
Sure enough, Zhuang Yu lowered his eyes and sighed, and whispered that this was Ying Ning's prophetic instructions, and she gave him a bag before leaving, telling him not to open it, but to open it after finding the reincarnation of the Xuannu.
There are only four place names written in the bag: Jinsha Ancient Town, Dian Island, 100,000 Mountains, and Fuxian Lake.
You must know that the isolated island was nameless, and Zhuang Yu named it five hundred years ago for selfishness, including Jinsha Ancient Town, 100,000 Mountains and Fuxian Lake were not this name two thousand years ago, and they may not even exist, but Ying Ning's bag wrote these four place names in later generations. I have to admit that her prophetic abilities are really strong.
Zhuang Yu immediately thought that it must be Ying Ning who asked him to go to these four places. But then it happened that Cheng Qingping took away the reincarnation of the Xuannu without permission, which destroyed his original plan, and he could only secretly visit these four places while searching for Cheng Qingping's traces. Among them, Dian Island is the most familiar to him, and it is also his home for five hundred years, and he has figured it out inside and out, except for the particularity of the original stone cave, which made him discover the problem of space magnetic field, and he can't help but think of the time and space when he fainted.
Therefore, he had reason to suspect that the current Dian Island, as well as the original stone cave, might be the place where he sank his consciousness at that time. Because of the influence of magnetic field torsion, it came to this sea area and became an isolated island.
As for Jinsha Ancient Town, it is a very secret place, and it has not been famous, even later I learned a little consultation from Wong Tai Sin, so there was no way to check it at that time. There are many rumors about the 100,000 Great Mountain, and I haven't found anything related to the Dian Kingdom, and in the end, it was Fuxian Lake who first found out the information, which also shocked him the most. There is actually an ancient city underwater, which is suspected to be the city of the king of Yunnan, and the tombs of the royal family of Yunnan have been found around Fuxian Lake, and even the coffins of the previous generations of king of Yunnan have been unearthed.
Immediately put down everything, rushed to Fuxian Lake, first went to the vicinity of Shizhai Mountain to investigate, did not go deeper, observed for a long time, and confirmed that it was really the tomb of the ancestors. Then he dived into the water and searched for a long time before he found this ancient underwater city. From the outside, it did look very similar to his previous royal city, but there was a special force around the ancient city, as if it was sealed, and he couldn't enter it no matter what method he used.
At this time, he already understood that if he wanted to enter this ancient city, he had to bring the Xuannu to reincarnate. In the next twenty years, he successively learned about Jinsha Ancient Town and 100,000 Mountains, all of which pointed to the Dian Kingdom and Xuannu, as if there was a kind of traction in the dark, and he just had to follow.
Hearing this, I have realized that it was Ying Ning who used the power of the prophet to do her best to pave the way for future generations, and her instructions came from Guiguzi. I used to suspect that Guiguzi was ambitious to manipulate history, but now I have some doubts, and the direction of these things seems to be for me to be reborn. I remember that in the bastard, he meant that I was Ying Ning, but in fact, he also knew that Ying Ning's soul was still in my body at that time, and at that time, I was indeed Ying Ning, because the soul of the Xuannu had not yet returned.
originally thought that I was living in this world because of Ying Ning, but now it is the other way around, Ying Ning lived for me two thousand years ago.
No wonder I can have many memories of her, and I can take a break to see her in the past, it turns out that from the beginning, she and I are not the same person, she is her, I am me. But it was because of her soul that she was temporarily residing in her body that I was able to be reborn and live until the soul of the Xuan Maiden returned, so when the divine stone was integrated into my body, what was devoured was the soul of the real Ying Ning.
Ying Ning is really dead......
I feel very ashamed that I still ate her jealousy at the beginning, and I have a little grudge against her. But I didn't think that it was all a mystery made by fake Yingning, and the real her soul had been destroyed for me. I can't help but think of the words she left in the ice sculpture: Master, I finally waited for you.
It was the only proof that she had ever survived, but the ice sculpture shattered, the words dissipated, and the credential was gone. When she left those words, she knew that she would never see Wizard Yao again, this farewell was goodbye, even if the wizard went against the sky to try to gather her soul, she could not really be reborn, she could only enter my body after two thousand years, and reunite with the reincarnated Sheng Shiyao, and then guide us to the Soul City to listen to her last words.
She said that she used this to pay for the pain of this thousand years of lovesickness, and it can be regarded as that she has been waiting until she ...... Loess dry bones, thousands of years of reincarnation.
Thinking of this, tears welled up in the corners of my eyes, and I also had the power of prophetic prophecy, and I could understand that I could not feel a quarter of hers. But you can deeply understand that you know what will happen later, but you are still powerless to change it, and you can only watch it happen step by step. She is more painful than me, so much love for wizards, because the master and apprentice are unethical and dare not really be together, and because she predicts the fate of the wizard and her own fate, they are destined to not stay together, this is the death of Ying Ning.
Perhaps, my encounter with Sheng Shiyao is that her soul is looking for a home, and she also intends to make Sheng Shiyao fall in love with me, she hopes that Sheng Shiyao in this life can no longer bear the pain of a thousand years.
