All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

"Is he a human or a ghost?" Shen Lingxi asked.

"It's a ghost." Kui Nineteen replied: "He did die in the disaster five years ago. I only found out today that his soul has been wandering in the ruins."

"Where are the other people in the medicine palace? Have you ever seen their souls?" Shen Lingxi asked again.

Kui Nineteen shook his head, "I've never seen it before. After the Shouling Palace was destroyed, the corpses inside were also burned. If their souls are still on this mountain, they must have been sucked away by that coffin."

As he spoke, he seemed to think of something, and suddenly shivered.

"Refining, he is refining!" Kui Jiu said urgently: "Wurda lived in the snow mountain these years, he has a secret room, and he also put a coffin, he said to refine the dead souls in the black jar, It can make the person in the coffin reincarnate and bring the dead back to life."

"So, he must have put this coffin in. He did this to resurrect the people in the coffin!"

Shen Lingxi's pupils shrank.

Five years ago, when Chu Yan ordered the destruction of the holy mountain, Kui Nineteen survived by chance and was brought by Uerda's side.

Naturally, Wu Erda knows the details of these years the best.

"Who is in Xueshan's coffin?" she asked.

Kui Nineteen shook his head, "I don't know him, I just took a sneak peek at him, he is a man in the official uniform of the former court."

As he spoke, he paused, "I also just found out that Uerda and Da Siming are old acquaintances... These years, Uerda lived in the snow-capped mountains, and would go down the mountain in disguise once a month, and never explained What were you going to do in the past?"

"Every time he comes back, he brings a few black porcelain altars...Those porcelain altars must have been dug out from this altar."

In just a few breaths, Shen Lingxi quickly sorted out the current known information in her mind.

Wuerda and Da Siming are old acquaintances.This is something that Shen Lingxi had vaguely guessed before, otherwise, ten years ago, how could Wuerda get the secret medicine from the medicine palace without anyone noticing it.

Da Si Ming died five years ago.After the death of Da Siming, the witch doctor began to quietly become popular in Yunbian City, and the witch doctor dominated the funeral affairs in Yunbian City, and gradually replaced Taoist temples and temples.

From this, it can be inferred that the man behind the witch doctor must be Uerda.

Wuerda is the trusted staff member of the King of Yunjiang, and has a close relationship with the Xiao family. He is also good at healing poisons. He secretly manipulates the witch doctor to collect souls for him, and is the least likely to be detected.

What is doubtful now is, who is the real identity of Da Si Ming?

Liu Meiren only said that Da Si Ming's eyes resembled that of a national teacher, but did not say that he looked alike.

What is the relationship between Da Si Ming, Wuer Da and the former national teacher?

Who is in the coffin in the empty mausoleum?
Shen Lingxi couldn't understand these questions just by standing in the ruins and thinking about them.

You have to go in and have a look.

"Take me in." Shen Lingxi looked at Kui Jiu and said.

Kui Jiu flinched with lingering fear, and finally nodded.

Shen Lingxi followed Kui Nineteen and found the entrance to the underground palace of the ruined imperial mausoleum almost effortlessly.

It was a corridor for only one person to pass through, and the entrance was tightly covered by rocks and withered grass.

"At the end is the main tomb, I'll go in first to explore the way." Kui Nineteen left these words and drifted inside.

Seeing this, Liu Meiren exchanged glances with Shen Lingxi, and hurried to follow.

Shen Lingxi was holding the lantern, and was about to bend down to enter——

But Yun Huang stretched out his hand to stop him, "This is an unfinished empty mausoleum, and now it has been destroyed by gunpowder. If you go in rashly, if you are not careful, you will be hit by random rocks, or the mausoleum collapsed, and you will be trapped in the tomb." Inside, how is it?"

Shen Lingxi then told him all that Kui Nineteen said just now:

"...With Kui Nineteen and Liu Meiren leading the way, there will be no accidents. Besides, there are only two dead souls inside, and there are no living people. This empty mausoleum hasn't collapsed for five years, so how can it collapse so easily?"

"Not right, not right." Yun Huang was still worried, "It's better to wait until tomorrow morning, I will send some craftsmen to move up the ruins, and the things inside will naturally be exposed to the sky, and it will not be too late for you to check."

Shen Lingxi is a person who listens to persuasion. Seeing what he said, she stopped going in.

She was about to call back Meiren Liu and Kui Jiu——

"what……"

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Liu Meiren's screams suddenly came in from the depths of the tunnel!
Shen Lingxi's face changed slightly.

She picked up the wind lantern and looked into the depths of the corridor, only to see that it was pitch black inside, and Liu Meiren's soul could no longer be seen.

"Liu Meiren?" she called out, "What happened? Kui Nineteen?"

However, it was silence that responded to her.

Shen Lingxi looked at Yun Huang solemnly: "I still have to go in, but Miss Liu suddenly fell silent, she helped me a lot along the way, I can't just watch her become like Kui Nineteen."

Cloud hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"I'll call Ling Shi and the others to move the rocks away, then send people down the mountain, and find craftsmen to come up overnight."

Shen Lingxi handed the mingdi that she carried with her to Yun Huan, "It's not too late, I'll go in first."

Yun moved his lips indiscriminately, wanting to say more.

Shen Lingxi smiled at him, "It's a ghost inside, not a living person. Even if you go in with me, it's useless. Why don't I go in first, and you can arrange the outside things before you come in."

As he said that, he directly picked up the lantern and walked into the corridor.

Seeing this, Yun Wang hurriedly turned around and arranged for someone to go.

*
Shen Lingxi walked along the long and narrow corridor.

This is the mausoleum that Emperor Li built for himself during his lifetime.

Since Shen Lingxi was born, it has been under construction.

This corridor should be the road leading to the main tomb, and the stone walls are carved with complicated patterns.

The tunnel got wider and wider, and there was a strong damp and fishy smell as it went down.

There is an oil lamp every ten feet on the stone wall.

Shen Lingxi used the torches to light them one by one for the convenience of the soldiers coming in from behind.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, she finally saw the dark doorway at the end of the corridor.

"Tick, tick, tick..." In the empty tomb, there was the sound of water droplets falling into the water.

Shen Lingxi walked into the tomb, instinctively walked to the right, looked for the oil lamps, and lit them one by one.

When the tomb finally lit up, Shen Lingxi finally saw the coffin placed in the middle of the tomb.

The inner and outer coffins are made of expensive golden nanmu, which shows how noble the people in the coffin are.

From Shen Lingxi's point of view, the entire tomb looked like a huge magic circle.

There are black clay tablets, and around the tomb, a strangely shaped totem is placed.

The totem faintly points to the center of the tomb, in the black circle where the golden nanmu coffin is located.

Shen Lingxi only glanced briefly at the condition of the tomb, and her eyes were attracted by a ghost floating beside the coffin.

That soul shadow looked at her calmly and deeply.

He was wearing a dark blue cloak, with a wide hood covering his head, casting a shadow in front of his cloudy and deep eyes.

Shen Lingxi hadn't seen him for a long time, and when she saw him at this moment, she felt as if she had been a lifetime away.

This person is none other than Xiang Zhou, who taught her medicine and puppetry since she was a child, and who is also her master and father.

"Yunxi, you're here." Xiang Zhou looked at her without any surprise in his eyes, "This skin is pretty good, it seems that you have adapted well, and it's not in vain for me to change my life against the sky and save you once... ..."
