Chapter 22. A Monument of Failure (Silkworm River Chapter)
Rui Silkworm Ji got down from Yuli, and followed Ruan Sichen and Yin Xiang, who led the way, into the tomb of the White Emperor, and the snow wolf and fox followed her side, not leaving an inch.
The three people and one beast soon came to a half-zhang wide round yellow-brown rock in the underground tomb, this round rock stands tall in the center of the entire imperial tomb, under the stone, there are millions of jade human carvings and jade soldiers and horses stationed in front and back, and there are jade soldiers and horses that cannot be seen at a glance, these jade soldiers are holding knives, forks, axes, axes, spears, shields, gongs, halberds and other ancient weapons in their hands, and each statue is stepping on a white jade stone pier under its feet.
These statues all stand in a neat and uniform posture in this open and closed underground mausoleum, and their bodies have been covered with a thick layer of sand, and I don't know how many years they have been sleeping here.
"It turns out that the Jade Emperor has been hidden here all along!" Rui Silkworm Ji turned around and muttered to herself.
"Miss Rui also knows the legend of the Jade Emperor of the White Kingdom?" Yin Xiang immediately asked when he heard Rui Silkworm Ji muttering to himself.
"A little bit of it. More than 30,000 years ago, the founding monarch of the White Empire held the golden Yu shuttlecock given by the immortal monarch Mu Yinchuan, unified the western frontier, and founded the white country. Unexpectedly, 29,000 years ago, when the white country was attacked by the 16 countries, the lord Rui Zhiqian tried to release the jade emperor in the golden shuttlecock to protect the acropolis, but he pounced... There is not a single soldier in Jin Yu's shuttlecock. But it turned out that these nearly 10 million heroes had already been transferred out of Jin Yu and buried under this 10,000-mile wasteland and the Ruan family mausoleum. ”
At the end, Rui Silkworm Ji's voice became more and more bitter and trembling. A vague memory of a distant childhood scene was reflected in her mind very clearly in front of the army of tens of millions of jadeites at this moment.
She swallowed a wisp of acid welling up in her throat, so it was, back then, it was the Ruan family who used herself to betray her father and the entire Rui Dynasty.
Jin Yu shuttlecock can only release the Jade Emperor Master when it is held in the hands of the emperor of the White Kingdom. She still remembers that at the Lantern Festival 29,000 years ago, the mother of the head of the Ruan family pulled her to the side of a huge bottomless basin, telling her that this was the Mid-Mountain Palace that the Ruan family was going to build for the little prince, and asked her to bless this place with the golden shuttlecock collected by her father, and told her to keep it a secret.
She happily stole the golden shuttlecock that her father was close to, and under the arrangement of the mother of Ruan, she held the golden key, blew three long breaths on the wide and stretching basin, and completed the prayer, and saw that ten thousand turquoise rays flew out of the golden shuttlecock, and the four fields covered the entire huge basin openly.
As soon as the blue light was extinguished, the housewife of the Ruan family immediately led her away with a smile, and she also obeyed the instructions, and secretly tied Jin Yu's shuttlecock back to her father's imperial robe that night.
Less than a month later, the Sixteen Nations Alliance came to attack, and the White Emperor City was empty inside and outside, and the commander of the five armies rebelled and led the enemy into the city.
Overnight, the palace of national destruction fell, and Xuancheng was on fire. The enemy generals gathered the whole city, the old and the young, women and children together, poured diesel fuel, waited for each other with open flames, and forced the emperor of the white country to kill himself on the spot, otherwise he would set it on fire.
The monarch and the queen didn't have time to investigate who the traitor was, so they had to tie the only Jin Yu shuttlecock tightly around the neck of the only daughter Rui Silkworm Ji, and begged the eunuch to secretly take the little princess out of the palace and send it to the Tianshan Mountains to pray for the protection of the immortal monarch, and they both killed themselves on the eaves of the imperial palace.
There was a "poof" sound of flesh hitting in the empty wide mausoleum, and Rui Silkworm Ji fell to her knees and knelt on the ground between the millions of emperors of the White Empire in the past.
The long-ago memories were all peeled off in front of the cold truth in front of her, and the curtain was bloody, and she touched the ground with her forehead again and again, trembling all over her body in pain, but she couldn't cry at all.
It turns out that people mourn deeply, and there is no way out for even tears.
Yuli ran up in a panic and circled her with her tail, the warm fox mouth kept rubbing the top of her head, Ruan Sichen and Yin Xiang saw that Rui Silkworm Ji could not only easily tell the secret in the Jin Yu shuttlecock, but also became so involuntary in the mausoleum, and looked at each other at the moment.
Ruan Sichen stepped forward and squatted next to the giant tail in the jade, his body sank, and said to Rui Silkworm Ji, who wrapped himself in his tail:
"Miss Rui, no matter what happened between the Ruan family and the Rui Dynasty back then, it was nearly 30,000 years ago, and now everything has changed. At present, the demons are in charge, the people are not living, there is no land above the ten seas and nine states, and to recover the land devoured by the demons and end this suffering in the world, the only way to rely on the former Bai Guo and the power of these eight million jade heroes! In the past 29,000 years, the Ruan family has built the ancestral mausoleum of the clan on this piece of thousands of troops and horses, that is, they want to protect this power for the Bai Empire for generations. ”
Rui Silkworm Ji slowly raised her head in the tail of the jade, Ruan Sichen sighed, and continued:
"Everything Ruan has done over the years is to one day be able to dominate the world, end this demonic chaos early with the power of the White Kingdom, rebuild the glory of the past prosperous times, and return the mountains and seas to a paradise on earth!
Yuli looked down at Rui Silkworm Ji, her tail sank slightly, Rui Silkworm Ji looked up at Ruan Sichen's solemn face, and after a long time, she slowly stood up.
She stood tall in the Jade Military Mausoleum, her gaze turning from confusion to incomparably full and firm:
"Commander, what the ancestors of the Ruan family did to the Rui Dynasty back then has nothing to do with you today, Silkworm believes in your character, and even more believes that you will definitely regain the territory of the White Emperor in the past for my Rui Dynasty! In fact, you have done a good job. ”
Ruan Sichen was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly bowed to her, and a smile appeared on the corner of Rui Silkworm Ji's mouth.
Ruan Sichen, the commander of the Ninth Army of the White Kingdom, is the leader of the four major families in Western Xinjiang. In the end, he is her father, after thousands of years, he still killed the Ruan family as it was, using all the resources taken away by this surname back then, resplitting the mountains and rivers, and starting the emperor's plan to dominate the world.
"What does the Governor want me to do?"
Rui Silkworm Ji asked loudly, and Ruan Sichen hurriedly waved his hand to Yin Xiang.
Yin Xiang strode to the center of the Yellowstone Disk, bent down to lift a mossy stone ring from the ground, and with a creaking and piercing stone sound rumbled through the imperial tomb, the ground that had been locked with the stone ring collapsed, and a platform rose from it, on which was placed a bottle of Luan chair cast in pure gold, with a high back and wide shoulders.
On the broad back of the Luan chair, a statue of a snow wolf and fox delicately carved in gold lies horizontally.
Under the Luan chair, a thick layer of human bone remains was densely laid on the entire platform, and among the hundreds of skulls of Bai Huahua, many snakes and rats were seen constantly drilling in and out of the eye holes of the black hole, Rui Silkworm Ji and Yuli looked back at Ruan Sichen at the same time.
"Miss Rui, this golden luan chair is the ultimate magic weapon to test whether you are a descendant of the White Emperor. The old man persuaded him truthfully, if you are not the emperor of the White Kingdom, it is still too late to withdraw now, but if you are really a descendant of the White Kingdom, please ask the girl to sit on the chair, the real and false emperors can be distinguished!"
Rui Silkworm turned and stepped onto the platform a few steps, creaking over the ground skulls and boarding the golden luan chair.
"Miss Rui!" Yin Xiang hurriedly took a few steps forward, raised his arm and said to her: "If the girl is not the real emperor, this snow wolf fox on the Luan throne will devour the girl and spit out the bones, just like these wreckage!
Yuli stood beside him, his two purple eyes narrowed into a thin slit, and he glanced at him obliquely.
Even Ruan Sichen added a sentence at this time: "Miss Rui, you can think about it." ”
Rui Silkworm Ji smiled slightly, her skirt was slightly raised, and she sat down in the golden luan chair, and at the moment when her delicate body touched the seat, the snow wolf fox on the high back of the seat immediately moved, and raised her head to the sky and let out a long roar.
The 10,000 torches hidden in the four walls of the upper and lower sides, left and right, suddenly burst into flames, and all of them were ignited, and the entire gloomy military mausoleum was instantly lit up, as bright as day.
Thousands of earth fires roared in all directions from under the Yellowstone rock plate along the grooves between millions of jade soldiers and horses, and the entire million-teacher mausoleum instantly ignited the flames of the horizontal.
Accompanied by the howl of the wolf and fox on Rui Silkworm Ji's head, every jade statue moved, stretching its waist, twisting its head, and kicking its legs, as if it had woken up from thousands of years of dusty sleep.
Thousands of emerald emerald war horses raised their heads on the white jade pier and neighed loudly, and the huge emerald and faint horse hooves kept kicking and rubbing on the jade pier.
Rui Silkworm Ji stared in all directions in surprise, Snow Wolf Fox Yuli stepped gracefully across the skull array, squatting cross-legged beside her, the accumulated white bones around the Golden Luan Seat suddenly collapsed, and thousands of flowers spontaneously sprung up from the land of white bones.
Rui Silkworm Ji sat on the Luan chair, surrounded by a circle full of flowers of a hundred daisies.
Ruan Sichen's hands trembled violently, and his mouth repeated: "Thirty thousand years... It's been 30,000 years! I, the White Emperor Celestial Empire, will finally reappear in the world!"
Yin Xiang stepped forward to help him, and said lightly: "Commander!"
Ruan Sichen pulled him, and the two of them knelt down on the Huangshi rock plate to Rui Silkworm Ji.
Ruan Sichen threw himself to the ground, leaned over and bowed, his expression was supremely pious:
"The emperor of the White Kingdom, I am returning to the sect! Miss Rui, I, Ruan Sichen, have 3,000 divisions of the Ninth Army, and I have a family of 10,000 people, from today onwards, but with you to transfer troops and send generals, I will unify the dynasty!"
"No, no, father... No, Governor Ruan, General Yin! ”
Rui Silkworm Ji saw that Ruan Sichen, who looked like a former father, actually kowtowed to herself and knelt down, and immediately jumped up from the Luan chair in a panic and waved her hand again and again.
Yuli raised the fox's head behind her, the blue light in her purple eyes moved faintly, and the eight million jade soldiers and horses suddenly knelt down on their respective jade piers, bowing their heads and bowing together, and the sound of soldiers and generals from tens of millions of sonorous jades shook the four fields, echoing in the entire imperial tomb:
"The emperor returned to the dynasty, the rise of the White Kingdom, the ten seas and nine states, the unification of the people, long live the Rui Emperor, long live, long live. ”
"Long live Rui Huang, long live, long live. ”
"Hooray, hooray, hooray. ”
。。。。。。
Rui Silkworm Ji's trembling arms gradually calmed down, and the simultaneous shouts of the eight million jade cavalry, like a requiem after returning from the past, reminded her of an important event that she had forgotten several times in the past 29,000 years - wasn't it precisely to seek the magic power of the immortal monarch Mu Yinchuan to restore the country and save the souls of her clansmen?
Rui Silkworm Ji took a deep breath, this was her fate, even if it was tens of millions of years late.
She turned around and sat down again on the golden luan chair, her slender waist pole was raised high, and she looked at the ten directions of the emperor's mausoleum with flat eyes, not moving or moving.
The shouts of the Jade Emperor reverberated seven times in succession up and down the Emperor's Mausoleum, and finally stopped.
Ruan Sichen and Yin Xiang got up, Ruan Sichen stepped forward and threw off his sleeves, made a bow, and bowed his head to Rui Silkworm Ji and said:
"Imperial girl, can you try to dispatch troops and send orders to send these eight million jade soldiers?"
Rui Silkworm Ji was stunned for a moment and asked, "How do you send them?"
"This... The old minister doesn't know the specific method, why don't the emperors give them an order directly?"
Rui Silkworm Ji then straightened up and shouted to the bottom of the Huangshi rock plate: "All the troops listen to the order, go to the ground!"
Her lonely voice echoed leisurely in the sky above the Emperor's Mausoleum, every jade statue moved, and the hooves of thousands of jade horses rubbed more violently on the jade pier, and they raised their necks and howled for a long time, the posture seemed to be about to jump, but after a long time, they just couldn't jump down.
All the jade soldiers are the same, I saw that in the majestic and vast grand military mausoleum, thousands of jade soldiers raised their long legs and wanted to step down the white jade stone pier, but they seemed to have their feet on it, but they couldn't get down to the ground.
"What's going on? Miss Rui can awaken the Jade Emperor, but she can't order them to march down to the ground to kill the enemy, what is the explanation?" Yin Xiang wondered.
Rui Silkworm Ji also looked frustrated, Ruan Sichen pondered for a moment, and said, "Imperial girl, why don't you put your hands on the handle of the Luan seat and try again, or there may be a hint." ”
Rui Silkworm Ji covered her palms with the handles on both sides of the stalks, and twelve white stone tablets of different shapes and mottled rock patterns suddenly floated in the flowers under the seat.
"Congratulations to the Emperor! These twelve rock bricks, the stone tablets of the sea chart, have now been awakened by you. Since collecting them on the Silk Road, the last general has been placed in the white bone group in the imperial tomb here. One of the stone tablets has already shown that only the true Emperor of the White Kingdom can sit firmly on this bottle to distinguish the true Golden Luan, and now, the Emperor Rui girl has proved the prophecy on another stone tablet, please see!"
Rui Silkworm Ji looked along his arm, only to see the first stele suspended in the air, showing her flying into the White Emperor City on a jade li, the second stele showed her in the city to comfort the women who lost her husband and children, the third stele was the scene of her sitting on the golden luan and the worship of the ten thousand armies, and the fourth stele was engraved with her hands covering the chair handle, which woke up the situation of the twelve nautical chart steles in one fell swoop.
Rui Silkworm Ji couldn't help but look at the fifth stele curiously, wondering what she was going to do next, but saw that she was riding a snow wolf fox on the stele, walking towards a group of heaven and earth snow mountains with thousands of miles of territory and thousands of peaks.
The realm looked very familiar, and Rui Silkworm Ji looked at it again, and suddenly let out an exclamation, and actually curled up on the Luan chair, and shouted in horror and disgust:
"I'm not going! I'm not going! I'm not going to go back to the Tianshan Mountains if I die!!"
Ruan Sichen and Yin Xiang stood aside, glanced at each other when they heard the words, and both were stunned:
"Miss Rui, I just want to know how to manipulate this million Jade Emperor Master, whether to go to Tianshan or not... What does it have to do with manipulating the Jade Emperor?"
Rui Silkworm Ji curled up on the truth recognition chair with her legs, frightened, Yuli squatted aside, and the two foxes looked at her with heavy eyes.
Seeing Ruan Sichen standing aside and looking at him, with a faint look of disappointment in his eyes, Rui Silkworm Ji only felt a sour heart.
She sat up straight in the chair slowly, flipped her hands to the stone tablets in the air, and the twelve stone tablets fluttered one after another, up and down, and soon combined in front of everyone to form a royal compilation of the ancient white country.
That's exactly the word "Rui".
Yin Xiang looked into the air again and again, and said suspiciously: "This Rui word... Is there a last one?"
Ruan Sichen squinted at the sound and nodded again and again: "That's right, the last point is indeed missing!"
Rui Silkworm Ji sat in the golden luan, covered her cheeks with her hands in great frustration, and sighed lamentingly.
Sure enough, fate just refused to let her go.
I saw that on the sixth stele that skipped the fifth stele, a new picture was gradually being drawn clearly in the originally empty stele body at this moment-
Rui Silkworm Ji held a black stone tablet in her hand, and threw it to the twelve nautical chart stone tablets, the last missing point of the word "Rui" was suddenly completed, and the eight million jade army jumped out of thin air from the stone pier, standing in the air, with thousands of postures.
Ruan Sichen's gaze also moved to the sixth stone tablet, and after looking at it, he said to Rui Silkworm Ji in surprise:
"Miss Rui, please see, what is the explanation of the new painting on this sixth nautical chart tablet?"
Rui Silkworm Ji put away her emotions, looked up at her father in the previous life, and said honestly:
That is to say, there were originally thirteen nautical steles, and the missing point on the Narui character was the last stele. Only by collecting thirteen nautical chart steles and putting together the Rui characters completely, can the descendants of the White Emperor order tens of millions of jade emperors to leave the military mausoleum. ”
"And where is the thirteenth stone tablet now?"
Ruan Sichen and Yin Xiang immediately asked in unison.
"Tianshan Yinchuan. ”
Rui Silkworm Ji's voice was faint and low, and the brilliant brilliance in her bright eyes dimmed rapidly, as if she had fallen into the bottom of a deep evening peak.
