Chapter 257: The Past Reappeared
The whole sealing process was smooth and wonderful.
After reciting the incantation, I reached into my arms as Li Qian said, and took out my heart of the ghost god that contained strength without any pain.
There is only one job left, and it is enough to seal the beast Chaos inside.
I tossed the translucent heart into the air, and it flew directly above Chaos' head, glowing brightly.
The next moment, the Chaos Beast was contained in my heart and disappeared from the formation.
I also had a soft foot, if it weren't for Li Qian's mixing, I might have fallen.
"Yue'er, thank you for your hard work." He was holding my translucent heart, and he could see a small beast inside, as if it were a crystal artifact.
"Little July, are you okay?" Ling Xi walked over, frowned and grabbed my wrist, and probed the operation of the breath, "Without a heart, your body seems to have a great burden. ”
I nodded, "Maybe, but it doesn't matter, don't worry. "I'm used to this heart, and now it's a little uncomfortable to be used as a container for seals.
"Yue'er, my husband will soon be looking for a new heart for you." After Li Qian finished speaking, he took the heart that sealed the chaos into his arms.
Ling Xi seemed to say something, but looked at me and closed his mouth again.
Master and Li Changze came over and asked me about my situation, and when they saw that there was no major problem, they were relieved.
"Let's go to the mountain to have a look, after all, we are here to investigate, although we have solved the fierce beast, but we still have to find out the situation here." Li Changze proposed.
After continuous fighting, several of us were physically and mentally exhausted, Ling Xi took out the pill to distribute it to everyone, and we continued to walk up the mountain. The car is gone, the supplies are also cut off, Li Qian and I are nothing, Ling Xi, Master and Li Changze can't go hungry.
Li Qian carried me on his back and walked forward step by step, it seemed that he could come out of the day for a little more time now, and until now he didn't hear him say that he couldn't stand the yang energy and wanted to go back.
There is a lot of humidity on this mountain, and there are some small insects, if it weren't for Li Qian's back to me, probably I would have to endure the attack of insects like Li Changze.
Fortunately, Ling Xi put two anthelmintic pills in his bag, and everyone shared them and was able to get rid of these troubles.
There was a smell of blood ahead, and we walked over to see the remains of humans.
The man died for an unknown number of days, the body was a little stinky, the internal organs were hollowed out, and the body was torn apart by something, although it looked like the behavior of a wild beast, but after the autopsy, Li Changze said that it was after killing him artificially and digging out the internal organs before throwing it here.
Naturally, I associate this with the shameful behavior of the Dao Venerable. This guy had let Di Xing and others kill so many innocent villagers before, these must be victims.
"There's a cave over there." Li Changze seemed to have noticed something, and beckoned us to follow together.
He turned on the flashlight, and the group groped their way down the stone wall. At first glance, it is hand-excavated, although it is not very exquisite, but it looks like it is some years old.
The cave is not very high and inconvenient to carry, Li Qian can only put me down, Ling Xi walked in front, he supported him on the side, and he squeezed down the cave one by one.
Walking along the road, I smelled a smell of rotten blood, until I saw a place similar to where the gluttonous people lived before, only this place was more terrifying.
The corpses hung there with iron hooks, the blood had been drained, men, women and children, their internal organs had been hollowed out, and the death was horrific.
"They look like ordinary villagers." The master frowned and said, but it is not known who they were captured and killed.
It's a big place down there, and there's a hole next to it, and we'll walk over there to see if we can find anything else.
Compared to the previous one, it is obviously better lit here.
If there is light coming through, it should be connected to a small hole at the top of the mountain, so there will be skylight.
Compared to the hole just now, there is nothing here, but the place is not small, Li Changze shined a flashlight around, and found that there seemed to be pictures on the wall.
"What is this, fresco?" He didn't understand these very well, and Master and I didn't understand either, so we set our eyes on Li Qian and Ling Xi.
"Well, it seems that the people living here are the remnants of Chaos." After Ling Xi finished speaking, he looked at Li Qian, "I think, you may know more details." ”
Li Qian took the flashlight, changed it from one place to another, and carefully looked at it, without missing the slightest. After a long time, he turned around and said, "That's right, the people here believe in Chaos, and they are its remnants. ”
"Look here." He pointed to the front one, "This is the story of the Chaos Beast, it is transformed by Guandou, and it can be regarded as a branch of the Huaxia clan." Because of their low productivity, this tribe has been living a nomadic life and constantly migrating. Legend has it that their leader, Guan Dou, was dissatisfied with Emperor Shun's succession to the throne and marched north, only to be defeated by Emperor Shun. ”
Li Qian looked at the picture behind him again: "Since ancient times, they have spread the custom of sacrificing animals with the internal organs of living people, believing that their ancestors will bless them, so those people should be the hands of these remnants." It's just that this kind of sacrificial activity usually happens on Guandou's birthday, and it's not clear why so many people died at once. ”
"And we can't find out where these remnants have gone." Ling Xi continued, "These people can summon Chaos, one of the four ancient fierce beasts, naturally they won't disappear easily. According to our past experience, after summoning the Chaos Phantom, it is bound to sacrifice the souls of some people, so where are the corpses of these dead? ”
"Maybe we'll find the answer by going down here?" I saw a small and hidden hole in front of me and suggested it to everyone.
"Okay, let's go over and have a look." Guessing was useless, Li Changze took the flashlight and continued to open the road.
In the next cave, we found the answer, looking at the corpse that fell to the ground, Master and Ling Xi had already confirmed that the soul was gone.
Each of them held a cinnabar sign depicting the beast Chaos, so that these people were the culprits who summoned the Chaos Illusion.
"However, the rest of the clan seems to be missing." I tried to open my senses and perceive the situation around me, but there was no living person here other than us.
"Maybe it's because we have summoned the phantom and evacuated en masse." Li Changze took a picture of the cave on the other side, "Or perhaps, people don't live in the cave at all, let's look elsewhere." ”
Past the dead men, to the inner cavern, there was a puddle of bubbling water.
Li Changze seemed to be a little thirsty, licked his lips and asked Ling Xi: "Brother, can you drink this water?" ”
Ling Xi walked over, dipped his finger in it, and put it in his mouth: "It's not poisonous, it should be okay." ”
"Well, that's good, I've been nervous, I'm dying of thirst." Li Changze looked around, "There is nothing in this cave, and the place is not big, it may be a place for people to pass by." ”
After speaking, he picked up the water and took two sips: "Hey, it's really delicious, and it's a little sweet, you all come and taste it!" ”
I wasn't thirsty, but I drank a little out of curiosity, and when everyone was about to set off again, Li Changze suddenly lost his flashlight and fell headlong, followed by Master and Ling Xi, I didn't react to what was going on, and my eyes were dark, and I was unconscious.
“…… Yue'er, are you okay? Li Qian's voice came, and I felt that someone was touching my face.
When I opened my eyes, I saw that his purple pupils were full of worry, and I couldn't help but call him: "...... Li Gongzi. ”
Strange, why do I call him that, shouldn't he be called "Li Qian"?
I was wondering, but he helped me up: "You're a little frightened, but you're okay now." ”
His hands were hot, and this place was not at all the cave we had just been in.
When I looked at him, I felt so sad that I couldn't hold back my tears.
"Don't cry." He frowned slightly, "I also feel sad about the wind yin, but you have your life, since he sacrificed his life to save you, he hopes that you can live well." ”
Wind groaning? He's talking about the white-haired boy in the dream, am I dreaming again?
Li Qian sighed: "Yue'er, it's good if you wake up." I know you're sad, and I've sent someone to find his body and bury it properly, so you can rest assured. ”
I couldn't speak, just crying there, and then he took me away and lived in the house all the time.
My maid came with me to take care of me, and I learned from her words that everyone in my family was dead, and I was the only one alive.
The sorrow came from it, and my chest hurt, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
Li Qian was very worried about this, and invited Lang Zhong to see me, but Lang Zhong was startled after taking my pulse for me, saying that I had no pulse.
I opened my eyes slightly and peeked, and saw that Li Qian stuffed him with a large piece of silver, told him to keep it secret, and finally sent the person away before coming back.
"Am I ...... Sick to death? I whispered.
"Who said it, the doctor said it, it's just a hurry, and it's okay to rest for a few days." Li Qian comforted me lightly, and was later called out.
After that, I couldn't afford to get sick, and I drank some strange medicine every day, but my body never got better. Li Qian seems to have a lot of things to do, and the number of times he sees me is getting less and less.
Later, I saw the first scene, the maid took the medicine and said that he was coming, I struggled to get down, but when I saw the feet, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and there was no life.
It's an amazing feeling.
I stood there, watching the maid crying in the dark, and watching Li Qian wearing the white clothes, standing there quietly looking at me. There was no joy or sorrow on his face, not even an expression, I was a little chilled, did he like me?
Later, I was buried, and at night Li Qian drove away the maid who guarded the seventh for me and came by himself.
I guess he was so sad that he didn't have any expression that day, right?
"Yue'er, it seems that my father is right, I can't wait for you in my life." He came to my coffin and burned a handful of paper money, "Our fate is indeed after a thousand years. ”
As he spoke, he stood up and walked to the place where my body was displayed: "Yue'er, no matter if you can remember our past when you meet me again in a thousand years, but no matter how long it takes, I will find you, this is the agreement between the two of us." ”
I saw him take a piece of blood jade out of his bosom and put it in my hand, and it was exactly the same as the one he had been with at the beginning.
At this time, I completely understood that the girl who had been appearing in my dreams was none other than me thousands of years ago. Li Qian told me that the two of us were married for a thousand years, so it turned out to be like this.
