57|The Search for the Past and the Journey to Mount Tai Cang 2

Xie Ren dodged and avoided it. He first thought it was a broken branch or a bird’s nest, but when he looked at it, he realized that it was a long piece that was so rotten that it could not be seen in its original form, full of rust, with chains attached to both ends. A different person, it is difficult to tell what this is in the end, but Xie Ren can see, this is a swing.

In the past, there were many swings hanging on Taicang Mountain, which could be used for both playing and practicing. Xie Ren just remembered, once with his parents to Huangji Guan blessing, saw a group of small Taoist monk in the swing rolling fighting, very wonderful to see, the master of the country after watching the fun, Xie Ren is more clapping his hands, so happy to ask his parents to reward the group of small Taoist monk, but also from then on in the bottom of the heart buried a “cultivation of the people powerful and fun” impression. As for later grew up really into the temple practice, but not because of fun.

After resting for a while, Xie Ren continued to climb up. The higher we go, the bushes and vines become more and more dense, from time to time there are animals in the bushes flashing past, leaving only a big fluffy tail shadow, there are also squirrels huddled in twos and threes in the trees, while gnawing on the pine cones, while peeping at this uninvited guest.

Thorns blocked the path, scratching his clothes and hands and feet, but Xie Ren was completely unconcerned. It wasn’t until three hours later that he finally arrived at Prince Peak.

Of course, Prince Peak was originally not called Prince Peak, because the Prince Hall was built here, which was renamed. Clumps of weeds, vaguely remnants of the east piece, west piece of the turtle back brocade pavement, but also hides a large charred black stone foundation. That was once the foundation of the hall. Through the past, the remnants of the wall, among the glazed rubble, there is a gaping ancient well.

Looking down from above, this ancient well had long been dead, and was only a few feet away from the bottom of the well below, with all the silt as far as the eye could see. Xie Ren, however, did not hesitate to lift his foot and jumped down.

Instead of falling onto the silt, he passed through the illusion and descended a few feet, the soles of his feet touching solid ground.

All around him, he could not reach out, and when he looked up, there was no daylight above him, which seemed to be hidden by a curtain. He groped at the bottom of the well for a while, touched a few stone bricks, according to a specific order in order to press. Hearing a “rolling” sound, a very low small door opened. Xie Ren down, along the small door after the passage, slowly climbed in. Just went in, and heard this small door behind him and “rolling” close. Half an incense stick later, finally climbed to the end. Xie Ren straightened up, snapped his fingers and lifted up a cluster of flames.

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

In a moment, more and more bright beads of light halo lit up, linked together, surrounded by more and more bright, can be seen clearly, here is an empty underground palace hall. On top of the hall, inlaid with thousands of stars.

It is difficult to expect, Xianle ancient country’s royal tomb, actually hidden in the fire was torched under the Taicang Mountain. Those twinkling stars, are inlaid in the ceiling of the pearl and diamond, pearl in the light is bright, diamond reflecting the color, and the interplay, like a dream. Like shrinking a piece of the Milky Way, hidden in the ground.

Each of these pearls and diamonds was worth a lot of money, and as long as one was pried off, one would enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth. However, Xie Ren didn’t even take a look at them, and walked straight through the main hall of the underground palace to the last chamber.

Compared to the grand hall, this chamber could be said to be extremely simple, because, it hadn’t even been completed yet, so there were no magnificent furnishings whatsoever in the chamber, only two coffins. And in the middle of the coffins, there was a person standing on the end, surrounded by gorgeous clothes, wearing a gold mask on his face, a sword was handed out, the sword light was snowy and bright, and it was pointing at him.

However, the man just maintained this posture and did not move further. Xie Ren also walked in on his own, completely ignoring him. But because, Xie Ren’s heart is clear, there is no face after the golden mask, under the fancy dress, there is no one, there is just an empty frame made of dried wood and grass ropes, which can be mistaken for the real one.

For many years, only this fancy dress and a mask have replaced him, accompanying these two lonely coffins. The two coffins were each placed on a small gold plate, but the things in the gold plate were a bit out of place: fruit that had shrunk to the point of being so dried out that only a core remained, and hard lumps that were so moldy and blackened that you couldn’t tell what they actually were. Xie Ren came in and collected these things from the plate, throwing them to the corner of the tomb and feeling around in his arms. He had half a steamed bun on him, but that bun had been given to Hua Cheng, and 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 Ren then sat down in front of a coffin, slowly leaning against it.

After fuming for a long time, he said, “Mother, I saw Chi Rong.”

“Chi Rong didn’t die, he turned into a ghost. I really don’t know how he got through these centuries.”

Xie Ren shook his head and said, “He …… killed a lot of people, and now someone is also going to kill him, and the upper heaven probably can t spare him. Alas, I really don’t know what to do with this person.”

He was about to say more, when suddenly, from very close by, came a thin cry.

Xie Ren stiffened, his complexion instantly changing drastically.

Gaze and listen, it’s not an illusion. It was really the sound of crying. This cry is very low, very small, if you do not hold your breath and gaze, you can not hear it at all. Moreover, the voice was so thin that it was either a child or a woman.

This crying sound was really too close to him, as if it was only separated by a thin wall, practically sticking to him. Xie Ren turned his head violently, and was finally sure – this sound, it was leaking out from this coffin he was leaning against!

In the midst of all the consternation, the first sentence that came out of Xie Ren’s mouth turned out to be one of elation, “Mother, is that you?!”

However, then he came to his senses; what he expected could not happen. His mother had passed away swiftly and out of her misery eight hundred years ago, and had never been transformed into a ghost. And the emotion in this cry was not sadness, but fear.

And who on earth could it be that is hiding and crying in his mother’s coffin at this very moment?

Xie Ren couldn’t wait a moment longer, his left hand lifted the lid of the coffin violently, and with his right hand he was about to chop Fang Xin down. Who knows, after he saw what was inside the coffin, the sword came to a hard stop.

Lying inside the coffin, there was no second person, only a humanoid figure surrounded by pitch-black Chinese clothes, with its face covered with a mask.

This humanoid should have only been his mother, but this person lying now, definitely couldn’t be. Because this humanoid was too short, his body height was completely wrong, and most importantly, this person was still shivering, it was simply a big living person!

Xie Ren lifted the scarf. Sure enough, underneath the facecloth was the face of a child!

In an instant, his heart went cold, and as he grabbed the child, he said in horror, “Where is my mother? Where is my mother’s queen! Where did you get my mother’s corpse?!”

This is a black dress at first glance to see what is not peculiar, however, it is with a kind of extremely rare dense insect cocoon silk woven. Cocoon silk from the foreign small country tribute, clothing but also by a number of procedures precision processing, and then with the herbal capsule, sealed into the coffin, can keep the body a thousand years does not rot, the appearance of a person like a living person. However, at the moment wearing this foreign cocoon silk clothes, but this child, then his mother’s body and where? And what has become?

Xie Ren didn’t dare to think about it, and could only grab this inexplicably appearing child and sternly question: “Where is my mother? Who are you? Why are you here? Where did you get my mother?!”

But how could a child who was crying with fear answer him these questions? He was so scared that he couldn’t even speak. Xie Ren dragged him out of the coffin, and suddenly realized that some gray powder had rustled off from the foreign cocoon silk clothes.

He looked inside the coffin with a pale face and realized that the bottom of the coffin was also covered with a layer of powder. In a flash, the ground turned and the sky swirled, Xie Ren only felt that his heartbeat was about to stop, his hands let go of the kid, and he kneeled down to the edge of the coffin in a six-legged heap.

He neither dared to touch these powders with his hands, nor did he dare to just allow them to be so scattered, like the ashes of burnt-out incense. Though not willing to admit it at all, he knew in his heart what these really were.

What else would become of a corpse that had been sealed for eight hundred years and had been forcibly stripped from its alien cocoon silk garment?

For a moment, Xie Ren’s mind was in chaos, his mind couldn’t care about anything else, holding his head, his ears buzzing. Who knew that at this moment, suddenly a chill ran down his back. He instinctively sensed the danger and turned back violently, striking out like lightning, a grip, holding a sword blade in his bare hands. Only to see a person behind him holding up his sword to stab him. The one who raised his sword to stab him, was actually the Muzha frame that had been standing motionless since he came in!

It turned out that someone had lurked in before him, put on this fancy dress, put on a mask, disguised as a lifeless wooden frame, waiting for him to come. With a “clang” sound, Xie Ren broke the sword blade into two pieces with his bare hands, his hands were full of blood but his face didn’t change, a thunderbolt kick flew out, kicking at the man’s abdomen, stomping him firmly on the ground. The man’s chest was firmly stepped on by Xie Ren, backhand holding his boots want to struggle, but could not move, as if nailed to the ground. Xie Ren bent down and slapped the golden mask he was wearing on his face, revealing the face of a young man. Xie Ren drank, “Who are you? A grave robber? How did you get in here?!”

At that moment, the child shouted from the sidelines, “Daddy!”

When he shouted, Xie Ren finally remembered. This big and small, both of them are somewhat familiar, is it not precisely the father and son who were nearly cooked and eaten by Chi Rong in the green ghost’s lair just now?

Xie Ren instantly realized what was going on, and immediately thunderously punched the young man in the jaw, storming out, “Chi Rong, get out! I’m going to kill you!!!”

The man laughed as he spat out blood, “Cousin Prince, so happy to see you again! Hahahahahahahaha!”

Although this was another face, this maniacal and misguided smile, who else was it if not Chi Rong? He had actually transformed into an imaginary body and attached himself to this young father!

Needless to say, it must be that after Chi Rong was thrown into the pot by Lang Qianqiu and boiled to disperse the entity, in order to avoid his pursuit, he took advantage of the chaos to escape into the scurrying crowd and attached himself to this young man’s body, coming to the Xianle Royal Mausoleum. Otherwise, how would an ordinary person know where the secret mausoleum of the Xianle Royal Family was located? And how could he have rushed over in such a short period of time?

He brought this child, perhaps for food backup, perhaps to hide the child in the coffin like the party, to divert Xie Ren’s attention, so as to take advantage of the opportunity to sneak attack from behind. Xie Ren gave him a punch, Qi Rong also aggrieved, covered his face and shouted: ”Cousin why are you so angry? You won’t die if I stab you, hee hee hee hee!”

Xie Ren “bang bang” another two punches, eyes red, said: “How my mother to you? This is how you treat her? Are you doing this to her bones?

Qi Rong grunted: “aunt has long been dead, the person is gone, the body is a person is powder there is a difference? But the corpse has changed its look, not still there, you just cry and cry, in the first place, but it is to Anle to lay down a hard hand. Good cousin actually has two faces, hehehe!” After saying that, his face steeply changed, pooh-poohed, “Why did I do this to her? Isn’t it still your fault? Don’t you know how to reflect on yourself? It’s all your fault! You plague god, you also have the face to come to the Immortal Bliss Imperial Tomb to cry!”

Xie Ren’s foot slammed down, Qi Rong cried out, blood spurting wildly from his mouth, but as if he was getting more and more exuberant, his hands clasped his blood-stained white boots tightly, and he said in a loud voice: ”That’s right, that’s right! That’s it, that’s how you are! Fight, fight, kill, fight hard! Kill ruthlessly! Don’t be such a Mr. Warmongering saint, it’s disgusting to look at you, vomit!”

The kid crawled over and cried, “Wow! Father, what’s wrong with you!” He couldn’t understand what was going on, and only knew that his father was being brutally beaten. To him, the Xie Ren at this moment was simply a vicious devil, but he was afraid that his only father would die, so he didn’t even flinch and tried hard to move away from the devil’s boots on his father’s chest. The young man was spitting blood, and the kid was scared half to death, using his hand to cover his father’s mouth, as if he thought that would stop the bleeding. Seeing this, Xie Ren calmed down a little, thinking that the owner of this flesh body was innocent, withdrew a little force, Fang Xin pointed downwards, the tip of the sword against Qi Rong’s cheek, and said morosely: ”Qi Rong, you, get yourself out of here! If you don’t come out again, believe it or not, I will drag your tongue and pull your soul out!”

Theoretically, pulling a person’s tongue out by the roots could indeed pull out the ghosts attached to him along with it. Chi Rong said, “I’m not rolling. I just won’t roll, how about it? You tug, come on, come on, kill me? I’m so weak in qi right now, if you kill this man with me, I’ll probably die along with him, don’t miss this good opportunity, or you won’t be able to find my ashes for the rest of your life!”

He even took the initiative to stick out his tongue and casually spit it out, as if he couldn’t wait for Xie Ren to put his threat into practice, dragging his soul out of this fleshly body in such a bloody manner. He whimpered, ”Anyway, this person I’m possessing is nothing more than a mongrel, so just do it, no one will know, no one will care, and your Crown Prince’s holy splendor won’t be damaged in the slightest. Look! I’ve crushed your mom into dust, won’t you kill me? Hahahahahahahahaha ……”

The child couldn’t move Xie Ren’s boots and hugged his leg, crying, saying, “Don’t kill my father! Don’t kill my father!” Xie Ren gasped more and more sharply, dizziness, trembling, hate to slap Qi Rong Tian Ling Gai, but can not get down. Qi Rong spread his hands and said, “Hahahaha Cousin Prince, failure ah, what a failure ah!”

Xie Ren lifted him up, brought up his fists and punched him hard in the face, punching and cursing, “Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!”

However, the more furious he was, the happier Chi Rong was, even if the price was that he had to suffer a violent beating, and could pull the other party down to hell with him, Chi Rong felt infinite pleasure, and his eyes shot out a fine light, saying: ”Look! Showing your true face! Cousin Prince, is there anyone in the world who understands you better than me? There is none. Although you now look like a dog that can step on anyone, I know too well that you are still so proud in your heart, and you can never allow others to say that you have failed! I said you failed, you must hate me so much, right? Does it sting so much that your heart is dripping blood? Come on! Or are you going to tell me out loud that this man is innocent, so you won’t involve him in order to kill me? Come! Let me see how you do it!”

In the midst of this burst of maniacal laughter that seemed to be provocative and triumphant, Xie Ren could no longer hold back.

“With a clang, Fang Xin sheathed her sword.

Mori Mori’s black blade, swung down!
