Chapter 39: The Moon Shifts and the Song Falls (2)
The scarlet rain stirred the carbon fire, and after a short period of surprise, she was as quiet as usual, and her face was as if she had seen the past, "Yes, you and my sister have indeed not seen each other for many years, and it has been thirty years since my aunt let me return to China alone from my grandfather." ”
The person who came was the current Queen of Wanshao, Yan Jin, and when she heard Scarlet Yu mention the past, her steps froze, "It turns out that my sister knows." ”
The emperor's family is ruthless, not to mention that they are just cousins who are not affectionate? The first king of Wanshao had no children, the throne should be inherited by his daughter, Princess Yan Ruo, the mother of the scarlet rain, married into the former former dynasty and the princess of the queen house, when the Empress Dowager Ling was the concubine, in order to seize the throne, she framed Queen Nalan, the mother of Lian Ember, and the princess was destroyed. King Wanshao misses his beloved daughter, and is afraid of the power of the Queen Mother, so he pretended that Scarlet Rain was the blood of the deceased eldest son, and wanted to pass on the throne.
Scarlet Rain smiled casually, avoided the topic and said, "Why is my sister here today?" ”
"Sister is so smart, don't you know?" Yan Jin calmly sat across from her.
"If it was for the moon talisman, you must know that it is no longer in my hands, and even if it is, it is something given to me by my grandfather, what right do you have to ask for it?" She didn't care about Yan Jin's ugly face, and continued to say: "If it's to get rid of me, it's not necessary, I'm not interested in the throne, you rarely send you!" Besides, what your mother didn't do, do you think you can? ”
"You" Yan Jin looked unwilling, "The moon talisman is a token that ordered me to raise the country's soldiers and horses, you give it to others like this, that person is still the ambitious king of Haoqing in the Xiyuan Dynasty, do you want him to let the soldiers join the country as soon as possible without bloodshed, let my Wanshao soldiers and civilians surrender to him?" ”
"Or else? Isn't Wan Shao's attachment to the Central Plains Dynasty for hundreds of years for refuge a surrender? Or sister, do you feel that you have great talents, and Wanshao has the division of tigers and wolves, so you can compete with the Central Plains power and the Northern Barbarian race? I remember if it weren't for the little prince, you wouldn't have been able to get rid of Gongxi Ruihe so quickly? ”
Scarlet Yu said calmly and indifferently, Yan Jin was already blushing angrily, she put down the teacup and shook her head and smiled, "Since you don't have that ability, put away your ambitions that you shouldn't have." For me, the moon talisman is in the hands of the little prince, far safer than in your hands, what he needs is just a stable and surrendered Wan Shao, not a trouble that comes out to him at any time, the moon talisman is in his hands one day, it means that one day your surrender, if you are smart, it is best to learn to keep to yourself, so that Wan Shao can survive in this troubled era under the protection of the Yingcheng Palace, this may not be a good thing, when you can one day convince the little prince, the moon charm will not worry about not returning! That's all I can help you and Wan Shao. ”
Although Yan Jin was unwilling, she had to admit that what Scarlet Yu wanted to do was indeed her best choice at the moment, she glanced at the sleeping Yu Zijin and said, "I came this time, not for the moon talisman, nor for killing you, but for her!" ”
Scarlet Yu frowned, "Yuhan asked you to come?" ”
Yan Jin nodded, took out a wooden bottle from his sleeve and gave it to him, although Scarlet Rain had not lived in Wanshao for a long time, she still knew the Gu worm in that bottle.
This insect is called a twin Gu, in the case of a loss of yang life of one of the twin twins, the Gu worm will be implanted into the body of the two twins, and those who have a loss of yang life can transfer the yang shou of their compatriots through the Gu worm, and the two will live and die together, and the normal one will lose their life span because of this method and pass away early.
Yu Han has been worried about power in recent years, and while his temperament is tyrannical, his body is also losing money day by day.
Wan Shao has always been attached to Dongyuan and Dongqian, of course Yan Jin did not dare to refuse, she could only secretly receive orders, but she also understood that she could not afford to offend Yuhan, and she could not afford to offend Yuwen Zheng, that day Princess Yingcheng just disappeared in Zhongxuan Temple, which had already caused him to massacre the Yuan royal family, and almost wiped out the Yuan clan, and now if she does this, Wan Shao is afraid that the day of the destruction of the country is not far away, and the moon talisman that can mobilize the army is still in the hands of King Haoqing. And Yu Han, if everyone knows today that he has reconciled with Xiyuan, I am afraid that he will not come out to help her at all in that day, and all the blame will be borne by her and Wan Shao, she is not smart, but she is not unexpected. So now, even if she is 110,000 unhappy, she can only betray Dongqian in order to protect herself and turn to Yingcheng Wangfu to surrender, she came to this trip today, not to take Scarlet Rain's life, but to let her confess to King Yingcheng and King Haoqing on her behalf, to protect herself and Wanshao!
Crimson Rain watched the bottle grow angry, and threw the bottle into the brazier with a flick of his hand, and the wooden bottle was burned by the fire, burning into ashes along with the Gu worm.
The intention has already been indicated, looking at Scarlet Rain's reaction, Yan Jin didn't say more, she solemnly performed Wanshao etiquette to Scarlet Rain, turned around and left Cunxue Pavilion.
The cold wind entered the window, the white shadow was like practice, and a white figure flew into the window like a gust of wind after Yan Jin left, his breath was as cold as frost and snow, and he stood there like an ice sculpture looking down at the Gu worms that had turned to ashes in the brazier.
When Yu Zijin woke up, she saw the white figure standing in front of her bed staring at the pot of carbon fire, her mind was full of Yuwen Shaoqing in her sleep, and after asking Scarlet Rain, she knew that Yuwen Zheng and Yuwen Jingyu had rushed to Rongya Mountain, she rushed off the bed, and was caught by the man, she lay on the ground and grabbed his sleeve tightly and pleaded: "Take me away, please take me there!" ”
Jin Yinmo held her arm, and the faintly revealed pair of Dongming pupils were not wavering, he was silent for a while, and nodded to her.
The high mountains were covered with snow, and the carriage crossed the Hanhai Sea to bypass the wasteland, and finally arrived at the Rongya Mountain Range, which is covered with snow all year round.
Wind and snow thousands of mountains, walking alone in the snow, leaving a long footprint in the thick snow on the mountain road.
Yu Zijin got out of the car with Jin Yinmo, the two of them walked from dawn to dark, and then climbed halfway up Rongya Mountain, buried in a clump of snow, she found a sheepskin water bag unique to the western Sichuan sergeant, she panted and climbed the cliff with Jin Yinmo's strength, only to find that he seemed to be very familiar with the road here along the way, this snow-covered mountain and forest situation, he actually walked constantly, did not take her on the wrong road at all, and successfully found the traces of Yuwenzheng and others. She remembered the general situation of the half of the map, and the key point was the cliff they were stepping on, could he have seen the treasure map?
Jin Yinmo helped her sit aside, untied the water bag on his body and handed it to her, he sat on another stone by himself, turned his back and took a small sip from the mask, and drank a few sips of water at will, from beginning to end Yu Zijin only saw a silhouette with a smooth chin. Her gaze gradually moved to the yellow silk package he was carrying on his back, since he appeared in the inn that day, he had been carrying that package, and he had not untied it even if he had rested for the past three days, it seemed to be something important, and he had not seen him for a few months, and this person seemed to be a little stranger.
"Let's go!" Jin Yinmo put away the water bag, got up and helped her up, Yu Zijin said "um", staggered and continued to walk with him, he pointed to the steep slope ahead, "That's almost the approximate location!" ”
Hearing this, she quickened her pace, and walked to that steep slope, the cliff crack in the barren stone mountain wall, and faintly visible a one-person wide cave entrance, Jin Yinmo walked in first, and Yu Zijin also followed. The cave was pitch black, the ground was undulating, in the darkness he took out the fire to light a bean of light, and kept holding her hand tightly, the veins and strength of the palm made her feel shocked, but the coldness made her heart sink instantly, the two people supported each other in the dark, and walked for two hours before they saw a stone gate standing cold in the dark.
The stone door is exquisitely carved, there is the image of Rui beast, engraved with ancient character inscriptions, and there are entangled branch patterns outlined around, the word Yuzijin does not recognize, only knows that it should be the ancient Yunluo national script.
Jin Yinmo groped for the veins of the stone gate, and after a long time, he saw that the dust in the eye sockets of the Rui beast had accumulated traces of being touched, he stretched out his index finger to touch the eyes of the Rui beast, and with a bang, the stone door opened widely, and the two of them suddenly took advantage of the situation to enter.
All the way is a passage about two zhang wide, the niches on both sides of the aisle have been lit, it can be seen that someone has come in here, the dust on the ground is messy, but I don't know if it is Yuwen Zheng and Yuwen Jingyu, or Yuhan's people. Yu Zijin on the light to see the flying murals on the stone walls on both sides, the Bodhi Buddha statue has a high nose and deep eyes, the statue is lifelike, quite an exotic style, it is the wind of the ancient Yunluo royal family with exotic blood and advocating Buddhism, there are small tomb beasts that extend to the front next to the stone wall on both sides, all are human-faced beast bodies, the head has horns, the statue is strange and terrifying, it is the unique funerary style of the original royal family when the people are buried, it is rumored that the prince of Yunluo is the princess of Shaolie personally supervised the burial, then here is the tomb of the legendary prince of Yunluo, the place where the original family hides the treasure undoubtedly!
The two affirmed this, continued to speed up the pace and walked forward, and walked out for a long time, the aisle began to branch, and there were several passages in all directions ahead, which was undoubtedly made by the tomb builders in order to confuse the public and prevent tomb robbers, if they did not take the right path, the road ahead must be full of difficulties and dangers, and only one of these aisles was lit by the light, and it was obvious that the people who came in were going along this road.
Yu Zijin didn't hesitate, and went directly along the road, but Jin Yinmo grabbed him and insisted on walking in front.
At the end of the road is the road, and there is a bend at the end of the road, and the two people seem to be caught in a labyrinth, and they have been circling and walking in the aisle, and gradually even the direction is unknown, and they only vaguely feel that they have been walking towards the center of the deep cliff, and the main burial chamber is not far away.
At this time, two huge stone doors suddenly appeared in front of the two of them, different from before, this is engraved with a phoenix carving dragon, the clouds are rising, it is the scene of the prosperity of the Central Plains, Jin Yinmo was about to step forward to touch the stone door, the cracking stone broke the mountain and thundered, the whole valley shook violently, the gray stone rolled towards the two, he hugged Yu Zijin in time and rolled out.
