Chapter 184 [Joyful] (I)
Luo Lie nodded and said, "After leaving the Nine Secret Realms, my insomnia began to worsen, and as long as I fell asleep, I would have repeated nightmares, and I even ......" He paused for a moment before saying, "I even dreamed of the red-clothed female corpse a few times." β
Yan Tianxin was not particularly surprised, she broke a dead branch and threw it into the bonfire, it was already dark outside, the wind was getting louder and louder, and the temperature in the desert after night dropped sharply, fortunately they had this bonfire.
Yan Tianxin said: "There is one thing you may not know, the red-clothed female corpse in the ice coffin actually has a great origin. β
Luo Lie frowned, he had already felt this, otherwise how could Yan Tianxin choose to escort the coffin thousands of miles away.
Yan Tianxin told the story of Princess Longyu at this time, and the more Luo Lie listened, the more frightened he became, and he couldn't imagine that there was such a story behind the ice coffin. The god monument is now, the dragon girl is out, the mountains are collapsing, the rivers are dry, keep the peace, and return to the homeland. It turns out that what happened in Pale Mountain has long been recorded in the ballad. He and Yan Tianxin saw with their own eyes the Yushen Monument floating in the Nine Secret Realms, and then the corpse of the woman in red reappeared, the Pale Mountain volcano erupted, and the prophecies in the song were fulfilled one by one.
At present, although the rivers have not dried up, if they are cashed in, they will be ruined and the people will not be able to make a living. The only way to get rid of the bad luck is to escort the body of Princess Longyu back to her homeland, where they are now located in the ancient Xixia Kingdom.
Yan Tianxin said: "According to my grandfather's record in the parchment scroll, if Princess Longyu's body appears in the world, it will definitely bring continuous disasters to the world, and only by sending her body back to the Heavenly Temple of the Western Xia Kingdom can these curses be lifted." β
Luo Lie said, "Where is the parchment roll now?"
Yan Tianxin said: "For the time being, it will be handed over to Mr. Zhuo for safekeeping." Speaking of Zhuo Yi, Yan Tianxin couldn't help but feel sad, she never thought that this elder, who she regarded as her relatives, would actually betray her.
Luo Lie had already sensed the loss in her heart from her sudden silence, and changed the topic and said, "I made an appointment with Mr. Wu, as long as we get out of trouble, we will meet at noon tomorrow at Cana River Bay." β
Yan Tianxin nodded, she had already learned about the plan of the two from Luo Lie, although Luo Lie successfully found herself and rescued her from the dungeon, but the progress of Wu Jie's side was not clear, after all, Wu Jie was a blind man, even if he could kidnap Ma Yongqing, it would not be easy to escape from the Xinman camp with Ma Yongqing. sighed softly and said, "It's all because I'm too reckless and have caused you a burden." β
Luo Lie said: "You don't have to blame yourself too much, Mr. Wu has extraordinary abilities, although he can't see, but his perception is outstanding, I believe he has escaped from Xinmancheng." β
Yan Tianxin didn't have such confidence as him.
Luo Lie said: "Where is that coffin now?"
Yan Tianxin shook his head and said: "I don't know, Ma Yongping is cunning, he should have noticed that the coffin was very unusual, and the news was very tightly blocked, I was only worried that he opened the coffin, and he didn't know what the consequences would be." β
Luo Lie said: "Even if he opens the coffin, it's not a bad thing, he sees that there is a corpse inside, so naturally he is not interested, maybe he will take the initiative to bury the coffin, this is already the boundary of the Xixia Kingdom, Princess Longyu has also returned to her homeland, and she will be safe in the ground, maybe all the curses will be lifted." β
"It's useless, according to the records of the parchment scroll, unless Princess Longyu's body is sent to the Heavenly Temple for burial, her resentment will not be resolved, and the curse will naturally not be lifted. β
Luo Lie said: "Do you really believe that there is a curse in this world?"
Yan Tianxin said: "I just remember that after the body of Princess Longyu appeared, several of my subordinates continued to have bad luck one after another, we traveled thousands of miles to transport her body here, it is now the height of summer, at first we were worried that her body would decompose halfway, but ......" She looked at Luo Lie, a pair of beautiful eyes showed a frightened light: "Have you ever seen anyone whose body will remain incorruptible for a long time without special treatment." β
Luo Lie once saw the body of Princess Longyu with his own eyes, at that time he thought that the reason why Princess Longyu was able to maintain her appearance before her death was all because of the low temperature, once the body was out of the protection of the ice coffin, it would soon decay, Yan Tianxin's words made him quite puzzled, the only possible explanation was that the corpse had undergone special embalming treatment.
Luo Lie comforted Yan Tianxin and said: "No matter how powerful Princess Longyu is, she is just a dead person, everyone is dead, and the curse will cease to exist." β
Yan Tianxin said: "It is recorded on the parchment scroll, and the divine tablet ...... In fact, it didn't appear there by chance, but to suppress the soul of Princess Longyu, once Princess Longyu's body left the Nine Secret Realm, then the Divine Monument naturally did not work, Princess Longyu she...... She'll be resurrected ......"
Luo Lie looked at Yan Tianxin in a daze, if she hadn't told herself personally, Luo Lie would definitely think that this was an absurd lie, Yan Tianxin would not deceive himself and come back from the dead?
Yan Tianxin said: "I know you won't believe it, but my father, my grandfather, and my ancestors have been guarding the Nine Shadows Secret Realm for generations, and they are just to prevent this from happening." β
Luo Lie couldn't help but think of their experience in the Nine Secret Realms, if they didn't have their own experience, no one would believe everything inside. Yan Kuohai was willing to live incognito in the Nine Secret Realms, as well as those warriors who guarded the spirit with him, Yan Tianxin's words made the best explanation for their perseverance.
Yan Tianxin said: "Luo Lie, no matter what, I have to find the coffin, and I must send the body of Princess Longyu to the Heavenly Temple for burial before the fifteenth day of July." β
July 15 Midyear Festival, which is also the traditional Chinese Ghost Festival, Yan Tianxin will not choose a random day, this day represents a deadline for her, according to the records in the parchment, on this day the ability of the unjust soul will undergo an astonishing transformation, as long as this day passes, the unjust soul will gain unrivaled power, and it is no longer possible to control it.
Yan Tianxin just described the content of the parchment scroll, she believed that the ancestors would not casually pass on a lie to future generations, but Luo Lie was used to explaining everything with science, everything that Yan Tianxin relayed was really mysterious and mysterious, and it couldn't be explained with scientific reasoning at all. The wisdom seed implanted in his father's body had quietly enriched Luo Lie's knowledge in all aspects, and even so, he still couldn't believe that a thousand-year-old corpse could be resurrected, let alone that the effect of a curse could last for several dynasties.
There was still nearly a month to go until the fifteenth of July, and no matter whether or not the events recorded on the parchment scroll would happen, there was still plenty of time for them to find the body of Princess Longyu. It's just that they are currently understaffed, even if they add Wu Jie, they are only three people, and with the three of them against Ma Yongping's nearly 10,000 troops, they don't have any chance of winning at all.
Although there were still more than a thousand clansmen on Yabulai Mountain, how could Yan Tianxin bear to let the clansmen who had finally gained peace follow him to take risks, not to mention that this was not a battle where the number of people could decide the outcome of the battle.
Luo Lie couldn't help but think of his brothers, if they were there, they would definitely be able to make themselves like a tiger, and now even if they send a telegram to them, I'm afraid they won't be able to come here in a short time, and there was news two days ago, because the Yellow River broke and washed away part of the westbound section.
The only way to do this is to unite the forces around them and rely on their existing manpower to find and retrieve Princess Longyu's body.
Ma Yongqing woke up at dawn, she felt that she had an extremely long dream, vaguely remembered the scene in the dream, as if someone was pricking herself with a needle, opened her eyes, and saw that she was lying in a strange tent, lifted the blanket covering her body, and found that the clothes on her body were good, so she relaxed a little, opened a gap in the tent, and saw the green grass outside, not far away there was a sparkling river zigzag through, in front of the tent, a man in a long shirt stood with a bamboo cane in his handγ
Ma Yongqing couldn't help but be a little flustered, she had never seen this person, and this was not the Shuai Mansion, nor was it any place in Xinmanying City. She reached out her right hand and pinched her left wrist hard, the pain reminding her that she wasn't in a dream, that everything she saw was reality.
Ma Yongqing reminded herself to calm down, and she searched around the tent for a weapon that she could use, searching almost every corner before finding a stone to press the tent. Sneaking out again, I saw that the man in the long shirt had already sat down cross-legged on the grass, motionless in the direction of the rising sun, as if he had settled down.
Ma Yongqing lifted the tent and tiptoed outside, the man didn't seem to notice, Ma Yongqing came behind him, mustered up the courage to lift the stone and prepare to smash it down. At this moment, the man suddenly spoke: "Does Mrs. Yan like to plot behind other people's backs?" Ma Yongqing was taken aback, and the stone was held high above the top but did not dare to smash it down.
The man turned his head slowly, his sunglasses covering his eyes, but he could still tell that he was blind, this man was Wu Jie, he kidnapped Ma Yongqing in full view of the Marshal's Mansion, and took her all the way to the Canna River Bay, where he and Luo Lie had agreed to meet.
Ma Yongqing only felt that the other party seemed to have an indescribable deterrent, although he was blind, but he felt that every subtle movement could not escape his eyes, Ma Yongqing said in a trembling voice: "You...... Who are you?"
Wu Jie did not answer her question.
Ma Yongqing said: "Do you know who I am?" After asking, she suddenly realized that her question was a bit redundant, if the other party didn't know who she was, how could she hijack herself? Not to mention that he called himself Mrs. Yan very clearly, he obviously knew his identity.
