Chapter 18: The Ancient Tomb of Xuanyuan

Peng Keng was very ill, he was bedridden, but he still didn't let people into the house to serve, and only asked Mao to bring tea and rice to the bed and go out. His reason was: Although Kong Qiu returned to his soul, he was seriously injured, and he had to cultivate hard to repair his wounds. Yu'er was too emotional and physically tired when she took care of Kongqiu, and in order to save her, Kongqiu rushed her main soul out of the gecko shrine, which also had some injuries and also needed to recuperate.

Peng Keng never mentioned the stone, and Mao didn't dare to take the initiative to mention it. He secretly hoped that Master hadn't seen him that day, and given Master's exhausted appearance at that time, this possibility was actually very high. But on the other hand, he really wanted Master to tell him what the stone was.

The sight of the master after using that stone made Mao tremble and yearn for it, and that kind of power was simply divine power. After he learned about soul hunting, he thought that he already knew what a spell was, and he thought that if he had soul hunting, he would become a god. But it wasn't until yesterday that he had seen what true divine power was.

What kind of stone is that? Will the master pass it on to him in the future? For no reason, he suddenly thought of a question: If he was to choose between Yu'er and the stone, he could only choose one, which one would he choose?

Conciu lay in his room for three days and three nights. At first, the world he saw was like a layer of smoke, hazy and distorted. Flustered, as if he had just woken up from a nightmare, his whole body weak. He had secretly tried to sneak out of the Flying Soul, but every time his heart hurt so badly that it felt like he was about to stop, and he didn't dare to try again.

During these three days, Meng Pi came to see him. The elder brother told him that Peng Keng was riding a horse from the street like crazy that day, and he went home and told his mother. My mother was weaving and tried to get up in a panic, but she fell on the loom and broke all the threads. She had to ask Meng Pi to go to Peng Keng's house immediately to see if something had happened to Kong Qiu.

When Meng Pi arrived at Peng's Mansion that day, he knocked on the door for a long time and no one opened it. He could only go home and lie to his mother that Kong Qiu was fine, it was Peng Keng who had something to go out, probably because he was in a hurry. The mother was still not at ease, she said that she was very flustered, Meng Pi comforted her mother, and waited until dawn to secretly come to Peng's mansion.

This time Mao opened the door, and he told Meng Pi that Master, Senior Brother and Senior Sister were all sick and recuperating, but there was no danger anymore. Meng Pi came in to talk to Kongqiu, who barely said a few words and fell asleep again. Meng Pi was uneasy in his heart, and came twice in a row, and saw that Kong Qiu was slowly sobering up, so he was finally relieved, and told Kong Qiu to go home as soon as he was well, so that his mother could rest assured.

Three days later, Conciu finally recovered. The first thing he did was to run home, deliberately pretending to be nothing, and telling his mother that his sister was sick and that Master was in a hurry to get a doctor. He and Mao were busy taking care of their younger sisters, so they didn't go home.

The mother nodded with a smile, her hands had been weaving, and she didn't even stand up: "Don't listen to your brother's nonsense, how can I be so worried." After eating for a while, let's go back to Master's house to live, I heard your brother say that your Master is sick, and you should take care of it. ”

Kong Qiu hesitated and said, "I live at home today, although it is not far from home, I haven't seen my mother for a long time. ”

Mother shook her head: "It's okay if you stay for two more days, but today your master is sick, but your mother is fine." It is only right that you should take care of Master. There's your brother here, go ahead. ”

Kong Qiu knew that what his mother said made sense, and he did remember his sister and master. Master was very sick this time, and although he didn't know why, and Mao didn't say anything, he felt that it must have something to do with him. When she went out, her sister looked at her with blank eyes, as if she wouldn't come back once she went. His heart softened and nodded: "I listen to my mother." ”

During the meal, his mother vigorously served Kong Qiu vegetables, for fear that he would not be full. In fact, Peng Keng's food supply to the apprentices is very good, much better than the poor Kong Qiu family. Kong Qiu ate all the dishes his mother had in one bite, and he liked to see his mother's smile when she watched him eat.

After dinner, Confucius spoke for a while and said goodbye to his mother. His mother asked Meng Pi to send him off, and she also took out the supplements that Meng Pi had bought in advance and gave to his master. The brothers walked far away, and the mother was still standing in the doorway watching, she clutched her chest, coughing, and smiling. It wasn't until I couldn't see anyone anymore that I slowly walked back into the house, sat down in front of the loom, coughed and weaved again.

When Kong Qiu returned to Master's house, it was already late, so he went outside Master's house to salute Master, and held up his mother's gift at chest level. Master walked out of the house for the first time in three days, with a smile on his pale face, and accepted the gift: "But it is disrespectful, when I am better, I will go with you to visit your mother." ”

Kong Qiu didn't dare to disturb the master's rest more, turned around and came to the front of the junior sister's room, just as he came out. Mao said, "Senior sister just fell asleep. ”

Kong Qiu nodded, walked to his room, and Mao followed: "Senior brother, do you remember what Senior Sister said, when she and Yang Hu were playing hide and seek, she hid under Master's bed, and felt that Master took something out of the cabinet and talked to herself?"

Kong Qiu nodded: "Remember, what's wrong?"

Mao hesitated for a moment: "It's nothing, I'm just curious about what is in Master's cabinet, so mysterious." ”

Kong Qiu smiled: "If Master doesn't tell us, there must be a reason for him." When he wanted to tell us, he said it. ”

Mao said disappointedly: "I thought you knew more than me, and the little junior sister spent more time with you during this time." “

Kong Qiu said strangely: "The little junior sister must not know, otherwise she would definitely tell us." She has been practicing with me a lot lately, because Master always takes you out to run errands. ”

Mao didn't say anything more, turned around and went back to the house. Kong Qiu was stunned for a while, and then returned to the house.

Lying on the bed, he could feel the sari in the baggage around him. For several days, he didn't feel it at all, because at that time, his main soul was very injured, and he didn't have the ability to fly souls at all. Now he can clearly feel that he must have almost recovered, right?

Kong Qiu opened the baggage, took out the sari, and tried to let his flying soul slowly escape, at first he was still a little flustered, but slowly, everything became normal, and his flying soul slowly covered the sari.

Daji sat in the car, her eyes looking ahead, and at this time she was thinking in her heart, obviously not wanting people to know, because Kongqiu couldn't feel it. Escorting her was a petty official named Fei Zhong, who seemed to see that the king was very different from this woman, not only could not be compared with the women captured before, but even treated more favorably than the concubines in the palace. He was extremely welcoming along the way, and kept hinting that he could help Daji do things. Daji acquiesced and let him stay outside the tomb with everyone, and she wanted to go in and worship alone.

The Xuanyuan Tomb is not far from Chaoge, but there are only two grave watchers who manage it. It's not very dilapidated, but it's also quite desolate. The two grave watchers were left outside by Fei Zhong, and Daji walked up the stone steps into the ancient tomb step by step. Legend has it that Emperor Xuanyuan finally ascended to heaven by dragon, so only the old clothes are buried here. In addition, there is a huge stone in front of the coffin, which is engraved with five big characters of "Emperor Xuanyuan".

The closer Daji got to the boulder, the more she felt as if she was about to wake up from a dream. Just like a person who is as heavy as a dream, in an endless long dream, sees a glimmer of light, the dreamer will know that the light will become brighter and brighter, until the whole world becomes a piece of light, and then he will wake up.

Finally, her hand touched the boulder, and in that moment, the light filled her whole world, and she remembered everything. In her ear, a voice came: "You're finally here, slower than I thought." You're more beautiful than ever this time, how could he wait until now to find you?"

Daji silently replied: "Maybe it's because my place of origin this time is too far away from him." ”

The voice didn't seem to agree: "When you joined your sister's joy, you were farther away from Xia Wei than now, but it didn't take so long." ”

Daji didn't speak, and the voice said coldly, "Are you deliberately avoiding him?"

Daji shook her head: "You know, I didn't know anything before, and I wouldn't have deliberately hidden. ”

The voice fell silent, and then a powerful force rushed into her body, and Daji gritted her teeth, trying to control her trembling. After a few moments, that power was gone. The voice sounded again: "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that you've been away from me for too long, and I'm worried that you will slowly weaken in one different body after another, and even be eroded by their chaotic souls." You know, their lifespan is too short, and there isn't much time they can really use. But in comparison, a beauty's appearance is much shorter than her lifespan, and your biggest weapon can be used for a shorter time than his. ”

Daji's hand caressed the stone tablet: "I can use the Soul Gathering Technique to maintain my appearance and longevity. ”

The voice seemed to sigh softly: "They are very suspicious. That is, to worship the gods, but to regard all unusual things as witchcraft. If your appearance remains for more than ten years, they will be suspicious. Especially beauties, they are more suspicious, and men they don't pay much attention to. ”

Daji also sighed, not knowing what she was thinking, and said for a long time: "I'm leaving, staying here for too long will make people suspicious." There may not be many opportunities for me to come in the future, and I have no reason to always come to worship Emperor Xuanyuan. ”

The voice said, "This place is too far away from me, and I can only use these stones to transmit a little energy to you for a short time." But you don't have to worry, in the palace of Emperor Xin, there is also a soul stone of Mount Tai, which is in the queen's palace. He trusted the queen very much and let her keep it. Only when he encounters a problem in his cultivation will he take it out. You need to keep in touch with me, either you have to keep the soul stone for safekeeping, or you become the queen, depending on the situation, you can decide for yourself. ”

Daji took her hand off the stone tablet, and the sound in her ears disappeared. She turned around in confusion and walked towards the door.

In the dim lonely grave, Daji walked step by step to the world outside the tomb. Her confused gaze slowly cleared with her footsteps, and by the time she walked out of the grave, she had become the same as when she entered the grave, and even more charming. Even Fei Zhong couldn't help but swallow his saliva secretly, and desperately reminded himself: She doesn't look down on you, don't be stupid, she is just your ladder to the sky, not a beauty you can hold in your arms. When you become a big official, you can find a woman who looks like her.

Daji waved his hand, and the group of chariots and horses headed towards the palace of King Chaoge. Daji raised her head and looked at the palace in the distance, although she could not see the palace, she could feel that Di Xin was standing at the head of the palace, looking at this side irritably, waiting for her to return.

Kongqiu's flying soul returns to the temple. Nothing bothered him, he knew that his soul power had just recovered, and he couldn't be too tired. He wrapped his sarnic clothes and was about to lie down to sleep when he suddenly heard an angry roar from the master's room, but the roar was full of horror.

Kong Qiu jumped to his feet, rushed out of the room, and rushed towards the master's room.
