Chapter 264: Ruins and Altars

The crown princess took the king of Yunjiang to the palace, and when she went out, the news of the death of the old lady of the concubine family came out.

Not only that, but even the witch doctor who came to see the old lady was arrested in the Yunjiang Palace.

For a while, it became rumored that the princess insisted on entering the city from the gate in a red dress, and she must have been possessed by a powerful ghost.

Some people also say that the Ji family was a saint outside the family, but they ignored the life and death of the saint, and now the ghost returns, and the first person to take revenge is the former head of the Ji family, the old man.

The witch doctor must have discovered the identity of the ghost before he was arrested.

Everyone knows that the current Yunjiang King Yunyu has been the most intimate with the late saint since he was a child.

Presumably, the king of Yunjiang knew the inside story, so he would get so close to the crown princess.

In less than half a day, this rumor has a nose and eyes, and it has been spread in Yunbian City.

Even Chu Yan, who went to the school outside the city to order troops, heard the rumors.

Xiao Rui only suffered Shen Lingxi's loss yesterday, so he naturally didn't dare to gloat too much.

He only said to Chu Yan worriedly: "If this rumor is just a powerful ghost asking for his life, and there is a debtor and a master, it is okay to say." But in the previous rumors, there was also a saying that the woman who wore a red dress and entered the city through the city gate would also bring disaster to the people in the city. ”

"The minister was also for the good ...... of the crown princess yesterday," he said tentatively: "But Your Highness can rest assured, since the rumors are not good for the crown princess now, the minister will definitely do his best to suppress the rumors, and will never let the worst happen......"

Chu Yan's cold gaze glanced at him lightly, as if he wanted to see through Xiao Rui's belt bones.

Xiao Rui hurriedly lowered his head.

"No need." Chu Yan said indifferently: "Let them pass it on, General Xiao only needs to take care of your soldiers, and you don't need to interfere in other things." ”

Xiao Rui didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was still supporting the crown princess in front of the city gate yesterday and couldn't allow her to be wronged in the slightest, would let this kind of rumor slandering the crown princess go unchecked.

It seems that the prince's feelings for the crown princess are not as deep as he thought before.

Realizing this, Xiao Rui's eyebrows were flat, he smiled and waved his hands to say yes, and he also had a faint calculation in his heart.

Chu Yan returned to the Lingxi Palace and did not see Shen Lingxi.

The chamberlain stepped forward to report: "Your Highness, the crown princess and the king of Yunjiang went to the holy mountain, and the princess said that there are guards from the king of Yunjiang and the concubine family, so you don't have to wait for her to come back at night." ”

Chu Yanfeng's eyes were slightly deep, and he turned around directly and walked towards the outside of the palace.

*

Holy Mountain, the ruins of the Imperial Tomb.

Shen Lingxi, escorted by Ji Zhuo's personal guard Ling Shi, together with Yun Yu, rushed out of the city before dusk and went directly to the Holy Mountain.

The Holy Mountain is about two hours' drive from Yunbian City.

When I arrived at the top of the holy mountain, the moon was already hanging high and the sky was full of stars.

At night, the ruins on the left side of the top of the mountain are covered with withered grass and barrenness.

The cold winter night wind whined, shaking the branches of the dead trees in the distance, making the whole ruin look shadowy and gloomy.

Even a young general like Ling Shi, who had fought the battlefield, felt panicked when he saw such a scene.

"This ruin was originally a mausoleum built for himself by Emperor Er during his lifetime, and the altar of the Holy Maiden and the palace of the Guardian Tomb are also among them. Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered the destruction of this place five years ago, it has been deserted.

Ling Shi pointed to the front of the ruins, a clearing that looked empty, but the ground was undulating, and explained:

"Every once in a while, the witch doctors would bury the porcelain altars that had passed over near that altar."

Shen Lingxi looked at the densely bulging earthen bags in the open space, and knew that there must be a porcelain altar buried under the earthen bag as in the original soul-locking underground palace.

The so-called "masters" would not instruct the witch doctor to do such a thing for no reason.

Shen Lingxi is almost certain that this "master" must be played by Urda.

And these porcelain altars must be related to his previous "resurrection" plan.

Shen Lingxi was thinking about it when he suddenly heard a whimpering cry coming from the ruins in the distance.

She looked sideways and looked at Yun Yu and Ling Shi silently.

Seeing that their expressions were as usual, they did not notice anything unusual.

Shen Lingxi knew that the cry must not have come from a living person.

She specially returned to the palace this time and invited Liu Meiren to come here together.

Seeing this, he glanced directly at Liu Meiren.

Liu Meiren nodded and floated in the direction where the voice came from.

At the same time, Shen Lingxi instructed Ling Shi: "Please ask General Ling to take someone here for a while, and the palace and the king of Yunjiang will go in and have a look." If there is any situation, the main shrine will sound a warning sound. ”

Ling Shi didn't expect that this thin and petite crown princess would have such courage to dare to break into the ruins of the altar at night.

He worriedly persuaded: "Niangniang, the altar in front of you is not an exaggeration to say that it is a mass grave, if there is an evil that collides with you......"

"It doesn't matter." Shen Lingxi knew that he had good intentions, and smiled at him, "I am originally a person from the Xuanmen, if there is really evil in this place, I will surpass it." ”

Ling Shi saw that she insisted on this, so he had to order the soldiers to carry two wind lanterns and hand them over to the two of them.

Shen Lingxi took the wind lantern and walked directly in the direction where the sound came from.

Seeing this, Yun Yu also followed closely behind her.

As soon as the two approached the ruins where the crying sound came, Shen Lingxi saw Liu Meiren's "ah" and floated out from behind the broken wall.

"Come and see, why is Kui Nineteen's soul like this!"

Shen Ling's eyes were slightly dark, and he carried the wind lamp and walked behind the broken wall.

As soon as I turned the doorway, I saw Kui Nineteen, who I hadn't seen for a day, sitting against the wall, looking at the empty half of his body, wiping his tears.

Shen Lingxi followed his gaze, and saw that the right leg of his soul body seemed to be torn off by something, and it was empty.

"What's wrong?" She asked in a deep voice.

Seeing Shen Lingxi, Kui Jiu finally stopped crying, "Your Highness the Holy Maiden, you can quickly think of a way, in that empty mausoleum, there is a coffin that is sucking souls, every two hours, as long as the soul is near the altar, it will be sucked into that coffin, and I am almost ......"

Shen Lingxi frowned.

"What about Urda? You didn't come with him, where did he go? She hurriedly asked.

"He's in there." Kui Jiu Se shrank his shoulders, "It was the altar that led me to when he was sucking souls in the coffin." ”

"When I was sucked into the empty mausoleum, I saw not only the coffin, but also a man in it."

Shen Lingxi looked at his panicked appearance, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

This premonition made her heart feel a little uneasy for no reason.

"The man you see...... Who is it? She couldn't help but hold her breath and asked.

Kui Jiu looked at her, and there seemed to be a faint unbearability in his eyes.

"Yes...... It's the Great Priest's Command. He replied.

The next two chapters will be released in a row, and they are still being repaired, striving to be released tomorrow morning
