Chapter 91: The Little County Lord
Originally, I was a little wary, but seeing that Ning Xin was just a powerful ghost, I didn't care.
I never thought that there was an ancient tomb complex in Nancheng, and it was right behind the cemetery. But the location of this ancient tomb is particularly strange, in a deep valley, and there is no blessing.
On the way, I asked Ning Xin what kind of technique she was cultivating, but she was reluctant to say. It is estimated that it is a forbidden technique, otherwise it will not repair all the skin.
This valley is very deep, and the further you go in, the heavier your qi becomes, which is completely unsuitable for ghost cultivation.
It wasn't until I walked to the mouth of the valley that I realized that this ancient tomb group was actually distributed in the Tiangang Beidou Array, and the location where I was at this time was Tianshu, which was the entrance to the ancient tomb.
It's no wonder that there are no wandering lonely ghosts here, with this powerful aura, the ghosts of rank and status will be wiped out as soon as they come.
I seem to understand why Ning Xin is like this, she must have cultivated a spell that is contrary to this Gang Qi and suffered a backlash, but she can still keep a primordial spirit, and she can recognize me in the paper figure at a glance, and she must have cultivated a lot of money.
The entrance to the ancient tomb is very small, and there is a tombstone, about one foot square, two feet high, with only the words "Xiao Ling'er's Tomb" written on it, and the handwriting is crooked and not very good-looking.
Ning Xin stared at the tombstone for a long time, then turned to me and said, "I don't know much about writing, so I don't write well, and I ask the seventh princess not to be surprised." ”
"Uh...... "Does this have anything to do with me?"
I sneered, got off the paper figure, and followed Ning Xin into the ancient tomb. The tomb was pitch black, and as soon as I came up, a foul smell of blood rushed towards me, and I almost went out again.
"When we entered the tomb, there were thousands of people buried with us, and their bodies after death were piled up here and no one cleaned up, it really smelled a little bad, but the seventh princess was okay?"
"It's fine."
It's no wonder that there seems to be something lying on the ground, and it is estimated that it is all white bones and skeletons. Thousands of people were buried together, so the people buried here may have extremely high status.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, there was a slight light, and my vision was broadened.
Ning Xin stood at the end of the passage, her body was against the light, red and bloody, and she looked very mad.
I coughed and stopped her, "Ning Xin, how far is it?" I'm afraid it's counterproductive for you to practice in such a place where you have a strong spirit, right? ”
"This is the tomb group ordered by His Royal Highness the Prince, if it weren't for this, the little county lord would probably be killed as soon as he was born."
"Little, little princess?"
Little brother's daughter? Could it be that the little brother in the previous life had a child with Shen Li? No wonder he protected Shen Li so much, it turned out to be this reason.
I was instantly stuck in my throat!
My heart felt as if it was being suppressed by something, and I didn't even want to go in with Ning Xin.
Ning Xin turned her head and smiled at me, "Well, little county lord, her name is Xiao Ling'er." For thousands of years, the two of us have been in this ancient tomb, waiting for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come down and pick us up. ”
"Have you never been to the Netherworld?" She didn't know that her little brother had become the king of Hades, and now he was already the supreme of the ghost world.
Ning Xin shook his head and said, "This place is sealed, we can't get out, and others can't get in." If it weren't for the fact that this barrier was struck by lightning during my tribulation, I probably wouldn't have met you. ”
"Oh, that's a coincidence, we met as soon as you came out."
Ning Xin's words made me suspicious, how could a person as domineering as his little brother let his daughter be left behind?
And, since he had laid it out, there was no reason why he wouldn't know.
Ning Xin paused, and then said: "It's not a coincidence, it may be an arrangement from heaven in the dark." ”
I didn't answer, and I didn't take the initiative to mention to her about the Netherworld, since she hadn't been there, it wouldn't be helpful to talk too much.
The construction in the depths of the ancient tomb is very peculiar, and the further you go inside, the wider and brighter the hall becomes, like an underground palace. There is a lantern trough on the stone wall, and the rest of the places are carved with all kinds of birds and animals, flowers and trees, which are particularly beautiful.
She didn't go far when suddenly a crisp laugh came from the tomb, and then a fiery red shadow flew towards Ning Xin with lightning speed, rubbing happily like a little raccoon on her, not afraid of her bloody body at all.
The little female ghost is of low grade, and she must not be able to see me, so I look at her unscrupulously.
She looked like she was about four or five years old, so delicate, with big smart eyes, a small nose, and a pink little face, like a doll.
She wore a red skirt with a ribbon on her head, and I couldn't find a better adjective to describe her cuteness and well-behaved.
Seeing that her eyebrows are very similar to her little brother, it's his daughter.
So I felt more and more uncomfortable, I used to think that he was the only one in his past and present life, and even if he treated me like this, I repeatedly convinced myself that there might be a misunderstanding, or that I had no choice but to do so.
But it wasn't until I saw this cute and cute little county lord that all my self-confidence was destroyed.
I'm not his only one, and he may not even have loved me. All he did for me was to use me to save the people of the Xiao Dynasty.
"Auntie, have you found your mother and father?"
The little female ghost tilted her head and asked Ning Xin, her voice was so good, and her voice was milky. Even though I spurned Shen Li so much, I instantly liked her daughter, for no reason.
Ning Xin picked her up and kissed her, and said with a smile: "Do you miss your mother and father so much?" ”
"Well, Ling'er has been thinking about it for years, years. Auntie, don't you want Ling'er anymore, why don't you come to pick me up? ”
"Picked you up, leaving your aunt here alone, are you going to leave too?"
The little female ghost was silent, her little face was so entangled that she squeezed together, and after a long time, she said again: "Auntie is going with Ling'er, okay?" ”
Ning Xin glanced at me slightly sideways, and walked towards the tomb with the little female ghost in her arms. I was curious, and I followed closely, but I didn't say a word from beginning to end.
The inside of the tomb is furnished like a palace, with beds, cabinets, tables, etc., as if it were a place to live.
"Ling'er, it's dawn soon, sleep obediently. My aunt went to the meditation room and was not allowed to disturb her. ”
"Okay, then you have to hurry up."
Ning Xin put the little female ghost on the bed and came out, and looked at me meaningfully. I hurriedly followed, all the way to the Zen room, which was another burial chamber.
There is a shrine in the meditation room on which the tablet of the little brother is enshrined. There is a tattered futon under the shrine, and Ning Xin must have been meditating and practicing here.
Ning Xin opened a mechanism on the stone wall, and the shrine was removed, revealing a portrait hanging inside. It's the little brother's, with a high crown of hair and a black robe, peerless.
I felt uncomfortable when I saw him, so I turned my head away.
Ning Xin looked at the portrait for a long time, and her face was gloomy, "Ling'er followed me as soon as she was born, I can't read and write, and I can't play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so I didn't teach her anything." ”
"Why did he send you here?"
"At that time, the dynasty was bloody and bloody, and there was no pure land. Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince built a mausoleum in advance, and ordered me to bring the little lord here. ”
Ning Xin sighed lightly and knelt in front of the portrait, "Ning Xin is sorry for His Royal Highness the Prince, I couldn't fulfill your wish to raise the little county lord, she gave birth to smallpox when she was five years old, and the imperial doctor who was buried with her at that time had died, so the little county lord ......"
Isn't this the same as a tomb of the living dead?
Thousands of people were buried with them, and they went to old age, sickness and death, and in the end, there were only two ghosts left in the entire ancient tomb.
Seeing Ning Xin's bloody body, I suddenly realized that she must be the one who died last. Moreover, she began to practice before she died, and she practiced a great rebellion against the heavens: the Burning Silence Blood Curse.
In the early stage of this forbidden technique, it relied on cannibalism to obtain spiritual blood, especially the hearts of living people. Ning Xin said that she failed to cross the catastrophe, presumably because she ate the heart of the living burial person and provoked the wrath of the heavens.
I don't know at what stage of Ning Xin's cultivation failed, but if I ended up like this, I would never be able to cultivate again.
"Have you ever eaten the hearts of the living?"
“…… He wanted to scare me, and he also wanted to eat Ling'er. I bewitched him into taking the heart and eating it, and that's when he started practicing. ”
She said and glanced at me, her eyes full of awe, "If I don't do this, I won't be able to protect Ling'er, although those people are all cronies of His Royal Highness the Prince, but once people fall into a desperate situation, they will expose the ugliest human nature, each of them deserves to die, and they should be cut with a thousand cuts!" ”
“…… What about Ling'er? ”
"Don't worry, she's half a fairy, clean and clean." Ning Xin said and turned his head and knelt in front of me again, and said: "Seventh Princess, the catastrophe is coming, Ning Xin's cultivation is too shallow to protect the little county lord, please take her out of here, I beg you." ”
