Chapter 232: The Destruction of the Holy Mountain, Was It His Order?
Shen Lingxi didn't expect that the truth about his death in his previous life would still hide such a hidden secret.
She couldn't tell what it was like.
Hate? Resentment?
Since the change of dynasties and the alternation of regimes since ancient times, her position as a victim seems to be an inevitable result.
But if there is a choice, who wants to die and not want to live?
After all, the crown prince Yun Chong, who is also in a high position, can survive under the full protection of his scumbag father.
Fortunately, she was favored by God and had a chance to live again.
At the beginning, she was coerced by Emperor Er, and she climbed the city tower without hesitation, in order to save the lives of everyone in the Medicine Palace.
And now, since she already knows that everyone in the Medicine Palace has been killed, she has to get this account back from those people one by one.
"The Holy Mountain was destroyed, how did you survive with them? How did Yun Hongshan die? Shen Lingxi asked in a deep voice.
Kui 19: "I hid in the sarcophagus and survived, but I was also caught by them, and it was for the sake of my puppeteer that I was spared." I have been staying with Urda in the snowy mountains all these years. β
"More than 20 days ago, Princess Xiao sent someone to say that Yun Hongshan was seriously ill and asked him to go to the palace for treatment.
"Then why did Urda kill you?" Shen Lingxi asked again.
Kui Jiu's face was blank, and he shook his head, "I don't know...... I thought he was here to save me, but I didn't expect ......"
Shen Lingxi sighed a few times.
Since Urda had left Kui 19's life in the first place, there must have been a place for Kui 19 to make use of him.
It is impossible to kill him just by making him a puppet once.
Tonight it was she who broke their business, and in an emergency, Urda chose to kill people.
Presumably, Kui Nineteen must know something, so he had to take the risk.
Fortunately, Shen Lingxi can see ghosts, and "killing people and destroying mouths" is purely superfluous for her.
She can slowly find the answer from Kui Nineteen.
"Then do you know if there are any special mechanisms or magic circles in this mansion?" Shen Lingxi asked again.
"Yes." Kui Jiu hurriedly said: "He has been pondering something called the reincarnation circle all these years, it seems to be recorded in the codex left by the former national teacher, saying that it can make people reincarnate and resurrect their souls, and they must collect enough dead souls to succeed." β
"So wherever he goes, he will take those treasures of his, put them alone in a room, and set up a soul locking array."
Shen Lingxi's expression froze.
Isn't she "reincarnated"?
Shen Lingxi thought of the disappeared souls again, and asked solemnly, "Where is the house?" You take me there. β
Kui Nineteen gave her a Yunjiang courtesy, and said respectfully: "Master, please come with me." β
As he spoke, he floated out.
Shen Lingxi was about to follow, but suddenly remembered that Mu Huai'an was also in the room, turned his head and explained to him: "Kui Nineteen knows where Urda locked the soul of the dead, and I will go with him now." β
"I'll go too." Mu Huaian stood up and said.
Shen Lingxi reminded vaguely: "There should be a lot of ghosts in that place, you ......"
Before she finished speaking, Mu Huaian had already walked to her side, opened the door, and made a "please" gesture to her.
Seeing this, Shen Lingxi didn't say anything more, followed behind Kui Nineteen, and walked out of the courtyard.
*
The house where Urda arranged the Soul Locking Array was, in terms of feng shui, the most yin place of the entire palace, so it was very remote.
On the way, Shen Lingxi did not intend to reveal too much of Kui Nineteen's confession to Mu Huai'an, so he remained silent.
On the contrary, it was Mu Huai'an, who was in the house, and when she heard the "holy mountain" from her mouth, her eyes always had a deep groan.
He asked in a low voice, "Since Urda has set up a soul locking array in this mansion, why hasn't Kui Nineteen been locked in?" β
"It should be too late." Shen Lingxi replied hesitantly: "Chunjun, they are all people with strong martial arts, even if they are controlled by Zhu Youshu, it is temporary. He can take the opportunity to kill people and get out in time, which should be the limit. β
Mu Huai'an nodded and said hesitantly: "The holy mountain you just talked about...... Is it the Yunguo Emperor's Mausoleum that was destroyed five years ago? β
Shen Lingxi didn't stop, glanced at him, and asked quietly, "Do you know about this?" β
Mu Huai'an replied thoughtfully: "It was rumored in the capital that it was the palace master who ordered the destruction of the holy mountain before returning to the court. So the prince first...... That is, Emperor Xiaode, who died violently on the day he returned to Beijing. They said that the death of the first prince was a curse of Emperor Er, and it was also a divine punishment from the gods after the destruction of the holy mountain of Yunguo. β
Shen Lingxi paused abruptly.
"You said that the holy mountain was destroyed back then, is it ...... Chu Yan's order? She looked stunned.
Mu Huai'an: "Everyone in the know knows that the mausoleum in the holy mountain, in the end, only the mausoleum of the little princess and her mother was not destroyed, all because he has a deep love for you...... Who would it be if it wasn't him? β
Shen Lingxi pursed his lips, "Folk rumors are not enough to believe. β
She didn't believe that Chu Yan was killing innocent people indiscriminately.
Otherwise, how could he have buried her body in the first place.
Mu Huai'an guessed what she was thinking at a glance, "Anyway, after the destruction of the Yun Kingdom, the first emperor only left His Royal Highness and the Xu family army to garrison in Yunjiang, if it wasn't for his order, Yunhong Mountain wouldn't have dared to destroy the Holy Mountain." β
When Shen Lingxi heard the words "no courage", the corners of his lips unconsciously carried a bit of mockery.
"In order to be the king of Yunjiang, he can even kill the holy woman, just a holy mountain, but it is just a mausoleum for the dead, in his eyes, I am afraid it is even less worthy than the holy woman."
Mu Huaian was stunned for a moment.
"Didn't you ...... back then," he paused, and hurriedly changed his words, "Didn't the holy woman be killed by Emperor Er?" What is the relationship with Yunhong Mountain? β
Shen Lingxi sneered: "Emperor Er's mind has long been confused by the color of wine, guess how he came up with such an indiscriminate idea?" If the saint is alive, how can Yun Hongshan, the king of Yunjiang, win the hearts of the people, and how can the throne sit safely? β
With such a simple truth, Shen Lingxi just didn't expect this layer before.
Mu Huai'an is naturally thorough.
For some reason, these words made him suddenly think of the Mu family, with the assistance of Yunhong Mountain, to take down the five cities of Yunjiang in one go.
He frowned unconsciously.
When Shen Lingxi saw him like this, he also remembered what Yun Chong had said that day about the collusion between Yun Hongshan and the Mu family, and his eyes sank.
By now, as she learned more and more clues about the year, the truth of the matter became more and more confusing.
Shen Lingxi only hopes now that Urda can lock up the soul of Yunhong Mountain like he did to Xie Zhangting and Xie Zhanghua.
As long as the soul of Yunhong Mountain remains, all the mysteries can be solved.
Thinking so, she took another step without saying a word, and quickened her steps to follow behind Kui Nineteen.
The two of them had their own thoughts, and they didn't say anything halfway.
All the way to the small courtyard near the Urda Formationβ
The courtyard was not lit, and the courtyard door was wide open, revealing a strange feeling.
Shen Lingxi keenly smelled that there seemed to be a faint fragrance wafting in the air, which penetrated the tip of her nose.
It's "intoxicated"!
Shen Lingxi's heart sank, covered his mouth and nose, and lowered his voice and instructed: "The smell here is different, you all be careful." β
As she spoke, she motioned for Kui Nineteen to go to the courtyard to investigate.
Kui Nineteen nodded and floated directly through the wall.
However, he had only been floating in for a few breathsβ
"Ahh
Shen Lingxi only heard a scream, and saw Kui Nineteen's white soul shadow, like a ball, being bounced high into the distance from a corner of the courtyard......
It's Chu Yan!
Realizing this, Shen Lingxi's face changed slightly.
If those dead souls were locked here, wouldn't it be ...... if Chu Yan approached them
She didn't dare to delay, and walked quickly towards the courtyard......
