058 “Blessing from Heavenly Official” Chapter 57

☆、Chapter 57 Looking for traces of the past and then going to Taicang Mountain 2

Xie Lian dodged and avoided.He first thought it was a dead branch broken off a tree or a bird’s nest, but after taking a closer look, he realized that it was a long piece of wood that was so rotten that it could no longer be seen as it was, covered in rotten rust, with iron chains attached to both ends.For another person, it would be difficult to tell what this thing is, but Xie Lian can tell that it is a swing.

In the past, there were many swings hung on Taicang Mountain, which could be used for both playing and practicing.When Xie Lian first remembered, he once came to Huangji Temple with his parents to pray for blessings. He saw a group of little Taoist priests rolling and fighting on the swings.As for when I grew up and seriously practiced meditation, it was not just for fun.

After a short rest, Xie Lian continued to climb.As we walked higher up, the bushes and vines became denser and denser. From time to time, animals flashed past in the bushes, leaving only the shadow of a fluffy big tail. There were also squirrels huddled in the trees in twos and threes, gnawing on pine cones while peeping at the uninvited guests.

The thorns blocked the road and scratched his clothes and limbs, but Xie Lian didn’t care at all.It was not until three hours later that he finally arrived at Prince Peak.

Of course, Taizi Peak was not originally called Taizi Peak. It was renamed because the Prince Palace was built here.Among the clumps of weeds, there are faint remains of turtle brocade paving in the east and west, and a large piece of charred stone foundation is hidden.That was the foundation of the former hall.After passing through, there is an ancient well with a gap among the ruins and glazed rubble.

Looking down from above, this ancient well has long since dried up. It is only a few feet away from the bottom of the well below, and everything you see is mud.Xie Lian raised his feet without hesitation and jumped down.

He did not fall into the mud, but passed through this layer of illusion, fell a few feet, and touched solid ground with the soles of his feet.

There was no visible light around, and when I looked up, there was no sunlight above, as it seemed to be blocked by a curtain.He groped at the bottom of the well and found several stone bricks, which he pressed in a specific order.Hearing a “crush” sound, a very low door opened to the side.Xie Lian lay down and slowly crawled in along the passage behind the small door.As soon as he entered, he heard the small door closing behind him.After half a stick of incense, I finally climbed to the end.Xie Lian straightened up, snapped his fingers, and held up a cluster of flames.

After this small flame brightened, as if in response, not far away, a faint halo also lit up, like a bright pearl, waking up from a deep sleep and opening its bright eyes.

After a while, more and more pearl halos lit up and connected together. The surrounding area became brighter and brighter, and it was clearly visible that this was an empty underground palace.The top of the hall is inlaid with thousands of stars.

It is hard to expect that the imperial mausoleum of the ancient Xianle Kingdom is actually hidden under Taicang Mountain, which was burned down by fire.Those twinkling stars are all luminous pearls and diamonds inlaid on the ceiling. The luminous pearls will shine when exposed to light, and the diamonds will reflect the light and complement each other, like a dream.It’s like a shrinking Milky Way, hidden underground.

Each of these pearls and diamonds is priceless. As long as you pry off one, you will enjoy endless glory and wealth throughout your life.However, Xie Lian didn’t even take a second glance, and went straight through the underground palace hall to the last tomb chamber.

Compared with the main hall, this tomb can be said to be extremely simple, because it has not been completed yet, so there are no gorgeous furnishings in the tomb, only two coffins.In the middle of the coffin, there stood a man, dressed in rich clothes and with a golden mask on his face. He held out a sword, the sword was bright and pointed at him.

However, the man just maintained this posture and made no further movements.Xie Lian walked in on his own and ignored him completely.It’s just because Xie Lian knew in his heart that there was no face behind the golden mask, and there was no one under the gorgeous clothes. There was just an empty frame made of wooden hay ropes that could be fake and real.

For many years, only this costume and a mask replaced him, accompanying these two lonely coffins.There was a small gold plate placed on each of the two coffins, but the contents in the gold plate were a little out of place: fruits that had shrunk so much that only one core remained, and hard lumps that were so moldy and black that it was hard to tell what they were.After Xie Lian came in, he collected the things on the plate, threw them into the corner of the tomb, and touched them in his arms.He still had half a steamed bun on him, but that steamed bun was given to Huacheng, so there was nothing left.So, he said: “Father, mother, I’m sorry, I forgot to bring something to see you.”

Naturally no one would answer him.Xie Lian was in front of a coffin and slowly sat against it.

After being in a daze for a while, he said: “Mother, I saw Qi Rong.”

“Qi Rong is not dead, he turned into a ghost. I really don’t know how he came here these hundreds of years.”

Xie Lian shook his head and said: “He… killed a lot of people, and now someone wants to kill him too. He probably won’t be able to spare him even if he goes to heaven. Alas, I really don’t know what to do with this person.”

Before he could say anything more, suddenly, a thin cry came from very close.

Xie Lian froze, and his expression changed drastically.

Listen carefully, it is not an illusion.A real cry.The cry was very low, so small that if you didn’t hold your breath and concentrate, you wouldn’t be able to hear it.Moreover, the voice was very thin, it was either a child or a woman.

The cry was really too close to him, as if there was only a thin wall separating it, and it was almost coming from right next to him.Xie Lian turned his head suddenly and finally confirmed that the sound was leaking from the coffin he was leaning on!

In extreme shock, the first thing Xie Lian blurted out was unexpectedly joyful: “Mom, is it you?!”

However, he soon realized that what he expected could not happen.His mother passed away suddenly eight hundred years ago, escaped from the sea of ​​suffering, and never turned into an innocent ghost.And the emotion in this cry is not sadness, but fear.

So at this moment, who is hiding in his mother’s coffin and crying?!

Xie Lian couldn’t wait any longer. He suddenly opened the coffin lid with his left hand and cut off the heart with his right hand.Unexpectedly, after he saw clearly what was in the coffin, the sword stopped abruptly.

Lying in the coffin, there was no other person, only a human figure wearing black robes and covering his face with a scarf.

This human figure should have only been his mother, but the person lying now could never be her.Because this figure is too short, the body shape and height are completely wrong. Most importantly, this person is still shivering, he is a big living person!

Thank you for lifting the face towel.Sure enough, under the scarf, there was the face of a child!

For a moment, his heart went cold. He grabbed the child and said with horror: “Where is my queen mother? Where is my queen mother! Where did you take my queen mother’s body?!”

There is nothing unusual about this black dress at first glance. However, it is made of an extremely rare dense insect cocoon silk.The cocoon silk is brought as tribute from a small foreign country, and the ready-made garments must be carefully processed through several processes. They are then packed with herbal sachets and sealed into the coffin, which can protect the corpse from decaying for thousands of years and make the remains look like a living person.However, it is this child who is wearing this strange silk garment at this moment. So where is his mother’s body?What has it become like again?

Xie Lian didn’t dare to think about it at all. He could only grab the child who appeared inexplicably and asked sternly: “Where is my queen mother? Who are you? Why are you here? Where did you get my queen mother?!”

But how could a child who was frightened and crying answer these questions?I was so scared that I couldn’t speak.Xie Lian dragged him out of the coffin, and suddenly found some gray powder falling off from the strange silk clothes.

He looked into the coffin with a pale face and found that the bottom of the coffin was also covered with a layer of powder.Suddenly, the sky was spinning for a while, and Xie Lian felt that his heartbeat was about to stop. He loosened his hand, let go of the child, and knelt down beside the coffin.

He neither dared to touch the powders with his hands, nor did he dare to just let them scatter like waste incense ashes.Although he didn’t want to admit it at all, he knew in his heart what these were.

What will happen to a body that has been sealed for eight hundred years and is forcibly stripped from its silk clothing?

For a moment, Xie Lian was so confused that he couldn’t think of anything else. He held his head and his ears were buzzing.Unexpectedly, at this moment, a chill suddenly ran down my spine.He instinctively sensed the danger, turned around suddenly, and struck out like lightning, grasping the edge of the sword with his bare hands.I saw a man behind him stabbing with a sword.And the one who stabbed him with the sword turned out to be Mu Zhajia, who had been standing silently since he came in!

It turned out that someone had lurked in before him, put on this gorgeous costume, put on a mask, disguised himself as a lifeless wooden frame, and waited for him to come.With a “clang” sound, Xie Lian broke the sword into two pieces with his bare hands. His hands were covered with blood but his expression remained unchanged. He flew out with a thunderbolt kick and kicked the man in the abdomen, firmly stepping on the ground.The man’s chest was firmly stepped on by Xie Lian, and he hugged his boots with his backhand and tried to struggle, but he couldn’t move, as if he was nailed to the ground.Xie Lian bent down and slapped away the golden mask on his face, revealing the face of a young man.Xie Lian shouted: “Who are you?! A tomb robber?! How did you get in?!”

At this time, the child shouted from the side: “Daddy!”

As soon as he shouted, Xie Lian finally remembered.The older one and the younger one looked familiar. Could it be that they were the father and son who were almost cooked and eaten by Qi Rong in the Qinggui lair just now?!

Xie Lian instantly understood what was going on, and immediately punched the young man in the jaw with a thunderous punch, and said angrily: “Qi Rong, get out! I’m going to kill you!!!”

The man vomited blood and said with a smile: “Prince’s cousin, I’m so happy to see you again! Hahahahahaha!”

Although this is another face, this crazy smile, isn’t it Qi Rong or who is it?He actually turned into a virtual body and possessed this young father!

Needless to say, Qi Rong must have been thrown into a pot by Lang Qianqiu and boiled to pieces. In order to avoid his pursuit, Qi Rong took advantage of the chaos and fled into the fleeing crowd, possessed the young man’s body, and came to the Xianle Emperor’s Mausoleum.Otherwise, how could an ordinary person know the location of the secret mausoleum of the Xianle royal family?How could he come here in such a short time?

He brought this child with him, perhaps for food purposes, or perhaps to hide the child in the coffin like he did just now, to divert Xie Lian’s attention, so that he could take the opportunity to sneak attack from behind.Xie Lian punched him, but Qi Rong felt aggrieved. He covered his face and shouted: “Cousin, why are you so angry? If I stab you, you won’t die, hehehehe!”

Xie Lian punched twice again, his eyes were red, and said: “What does my mother do to you?! You do this to her?! Do this to her bones?!”

Qi Rong hummed: “My aunt died a long time ago, and everyone is gone. Does it matter if the body is a human or a fan? It’s just a different appearance of the body. Isn’t it still there? You are crying like this, but you were ruthless to Anle at the beginning. A good cousin actually hasTwo faces, hey!” After saying that, his expression suddenly changed and he said: “Why do I treat her so much?Don’t you know how to reflect on it?It’s all your fault!You, the god of plague, have the nerve to come to Xianle Emperor’s Mausoleum to mourn!”

Xie Lian exerted force under his feet, and Qi Rong screamed, blood spurted from his mouth, but he seemed to be getting more and more excited. He hugged his blood-stained white boots with both hands and said loudly: “Yes, yes! That’s it, that’s who you are! Fight, fight, fight, hit hard! Kill hard! Without the saintly look of Mr. Wen Tun who endures humiliation and has to endure hardships, it makes people sick to death, vomit!”

The child crawled over and cried loudly: “Wow! Dad, Dad, what’s wrong with you!” He couldn’t understand what was going on, only that his father was being beaten.In his opinion, Xie Lian at this time was simply a ferocious devil, but he was afraid that his only father would die, so he did not flinch and tried hard to remove the devil’s boots from stepping on his father’s chest.The young man vomited blood and the child was so frightened that he covered his father’s mouth with his hand, as if he thought this would stop the bleeding.Seeing this, Xie Lian calmed down a little. Thinking that the owner of this body was innocent, he reduced his strength a little, Fang Xin pointed down, the tip of the sword pressed against Qi Rong’s cheek, and said solemnly: “Qi Rong, you, get out of here! If you don’t come out, believe it or not, I will pull your soul out by your tongue!”

Theoretically speaking, pulling out a person’s tongue by the roots can indeed pull out the ghosts attached to him.Qi Rong said: “I won’t go away. I just won’t go away, what do you think? You pull me, come and kill me? I’m very weak now. If you kill this person with me, I will probably die with him. Don’t miss this good opportunity, otherwise you will never find my ashes in your life!”

He even took the initiative to stick out his tongue and spit it out casually, as if he wished Xie Lian could put his threat into practice and use this bloody method to drag his soul out of this body.He said: “Anyway, the person I am possessing is just a bastard. If you do it, no one will know, no one will care, and the holy glory of your Royal Highness will not be damaged in the slightest. Look! I have crushed your mother into ashes, won’t you kill me? Hahahahaha…”

The child couldn’t move Xie Lian’s boots, so he hugged his legs and cried loudly, saying: “Don’t kill my dad! Don’t kill my dad!” Xie Lian breathed more and more quickly, his head was dizzy, his whole body was shaking, he wanted to smash Qi Rongtian’s spiritual cover with his palm, but he couldn’t do it.Qi Rong spread his hands and said: “Hahahaha, cousin, what a failure, what a failure!”

Xie Lian lifted him up, raised his fist, punched him hard in the face, punched him and cursed: “Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!”

However, the more furious he became, the happier Qi Rong became. Even if the cost was that he would be beaten violently, and he could drag the other person to hell, Qi Rong also felt infinitely happy, his eyes gleamed, and said: “Look! Show your true face! Cousin, does anyone in the world understand you better than me? No. Although you look like a lost dog now, anyone can step on it., but I know very well that you are still so proud in your heart that you never allow others to say that you have failed!Does it make your heart bleed when I say you fail?Come on!Or do you want to tell me loudly that this person is innocent, so you won’t harm him just to kill me?

In this burst of crazy laughter that seemed provocative and triumphant, Xie Lian could no longer bear it.

With a “clang” sound, the heart came out of its sheath.

The dense black blade swung down!
