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

Chapter 267 Don't enter the tiger's lair

When Chu Yan arrived at the ruins of the holy mountain, Yun Wang had already taken the Si family's personal guards to clean up the gravel at the entrance of the tunnel, and was about to drive in.

His eyes quickly scanned the crowd, but he didn't see Shen Lingxi.

"Where is the princess?" he asked.

Yun Wang stepped forward to pay respects, "Sister entered the imperial mausoleum alone, and has been in for half an hour."

Hearing this, Chu Yan looked at the brightly lit corridor and walked directly inside.

On the way, Yun Huang told Chu Yan the most important things that happened during the day and just now, which naturally concealed Shen Lingxi's true identity.

When Chu Yan heard that the witch doctor buried all the black porcelain altars near the altar, he paused slightly.

"When Gu left Yunjiang, he had already destroyed this altar. How could they do such a thing." He frowned.

Yun Huan suddenly raised his eyes, and asked thoughtfully: "Your Highness destroyed this part of the imperial tomb five years ago because..."

"Back then I received a report from a spies that someone used the blood of boys and girls to do evil here in an attempt to revive the saint. This kind of magic is extremely evil, so I ordered Xiao Rui to deal with this matter secretly." Chu Yan looked. Light and authentic.

After he finished speaking, he seemed to think of something, his face changed slightly, and he strode towards the end of the corridor.

A hint of surprise flashed across Yun Wang's dark eyes.

Although he didn't know how Yunxi was reborn on Shen Lingxi's body, but according to the folks in Wangxian Village, his elder sister did become smart from a stupid girl five years ago.

Five years ago, it was the time when sister was resurrected.

Could it be... really related to this altar?
Thinking of this, Yunlu's eyes showed a little bit of worry.

If His Highness knew that sister's resurrection was done with such a wicked spell, I wonder if he would...

Yun Wang didn't dare to think deeply, so he quickened his pace and chased after him.

Chu Yan and Yun Huang walked into the tomb one after the other, and saw Shen Lingxi fainted beside the half-open coffin alone.

"Sister!" Yun Huan whispered.

Chu Yan's pupils constricted suddenly, and he rushed to the coffin in a blink of an eye.

Shen Lingxi's eyes were closed tightly, and one hand was powerlessly resting on the edge of the coffin, holding a jade pendant tied with a red string tightly.

Chu Yan hugged her into his arms and stretched out his hand to cut her neck.

The steady and beating pulse made his eyes relax slightly.

"Lingxi, wake up." He patted her cheek and whispered in a low voice, trying to wake her up.

However, Shen Lingxi seemed unconscious and did not move at all.

"There is a carriage outside, Your Highness should take Elder Sister to leave first." Yun Huang said nervously.

Chu Yan nodded.

He picked up Shen Lingxi, looked inadvertently into the half-open coffin, and his phoenix eyes suddenly deepened.

Seeing that his expression was different, Yun Wang also looked into the coffin——

"How could Sister's body..." Yun Huang exclaimed.

But soon, he realized his gaffe, and quickly swallowed the words that came to his lips.

"Your Highness, this is the body of the Holy Maiden. It must have been used by Urda... You should take Elder Sister back first. Leave the matter here to me, and I will definitely find out the truth."

He subconsciously stood in front of the coffin, for fear that Chu Yan would take Shen Lingxi's fainting anger on Yun Xi's corpse.

After all, to Yun Wang, whether it is a corpse or the current Shen Lingxi, they are all alone.

Just when Yun Wang was worried that Chu Yan would destroy the coffin and body in a fit of anger——

"Let the Si family's army seal off the ruins, and keep everything here as it is. We will make a decision after Lingxi wakes up." Chu Yan confessed.

Yun Wang bowed in response, his heart relaxed slightly.

Chu Yan picked up Shen Lingxi and walked outside the tomb.

Yun Wang glanced at Yun Xi's body again, turned around and followed quickly.

After they left, the tomb returned to silence again, leaving only the oil lamps, swaying silently in the dim tomb...

*
About another half an hour passed, when the oil lamp on the stone wall of the tomb was about to run out of oil and the lamp dried up.

A thin and pale hand suddenly stretched out from the half-open coffin and grabbed the edge of the golden nanmu coffin.

Immediately afterwards, Yun Xi's body in red clothes slowly sat up from the coffin.

She put her hand on the back of her neck and pressed it lightly.

There was only a "click", and there was a crisp sound from the joints in the neck.

The stiff neck then relaxed.

She closed her eyes, turned her neck, and slowly opened her eyes.

"Xiang Zhou's skill at sewing up the corpse is really not that good." The corpse said hoarsely, "The joints didn't even return to their proper place."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to the joints of her arms and legs, "click, click, click, click" several times.

The whole body seemed to relax accordingly.

The dead souls of Liu Meiren and Kui Jiu float behind the coffin.

The two stared dumbfounded at the corpse that suddenly sat up.

"You, who are you?" Liu Meiren asked tremblingly.

She and Kui 19 both stepped back a few steps at the same time, with fear in their eyes.

The corpse turned its head slowly, the pair of dark, cold eyes stared straight at the direction of the two of them.

Kui Nineteen was so frightened that he covered his eyes, his soul trembling.

Although Liu Meiren was not like him, her black hair, which had been sucked short by the coffin just now, exploded in an instant.

"You, you don't come here! I, I can recite curses, you, you don't want to suck my soul again..." She said sternly.

The corpse pulled the corner of its mouth towards her.

The pale and delicate face, because of this almost smiling expression, added a bit of weird beauty.

"What mantra can you recite? I'll listen to you if you recite a few sentences." The corpse stood up while supporting the coffin, and said in a hoarse voice: "The mantra of purifying the heart, or the mantra of great compassion?"

Although the voice was stiff, there was a sense of ridicule in the tone.

Liu Meiren blinked her beautiful eyes.

As if thinking of something, she looked into her eyes and asked cautiously, "Are you... Shen Lingxi? The Crown Princess?"

The corpse walked out of the coffin a little clumsily, raised those dark eyes, and looked straight into hers.

She tilted her head slightly, sighed and said: "I guessed it so quickly... You are indeed the smartest concubine in the previous dynasty."

Liu Meiren slapped her heart in fear, her beautiful eyes filled with tears in an instant.

"You're scaring me to death! The old man said just now that your soul has been sucked out by that jade pendant, I don't believe it." She wept with joy, choked up, "I knew it! I knew you would be fine!"

Kui Jiu also let go of the hand covering his eyes in surprise, "Your Highness, you are fine, that's great!"

Shen Lingxi pulled the corner of her mouth stiffly and smiled at them.

Just now, the moment her fingertips touched the jade pendant, there was a strong suction force, as if to pull her soul out of her body.

But at the same time, the corpse of her previous life opened her eyes, looked at her coldly, the corpse's hand tightly grasped her hand, with a sense of coldness, it followed that hand and squeezed into her internal organs.

It was the feeling of the soul being ripped from the body, squeezed.

This is not the first time Shen Lingxi has experienced this feeling.

It wasn't until that moment that she realized what Xiang Zhou planned all this for.

"If you don't enter the tiger's lair, how can you catch tiger cubs." Shen Lingxi said hoarsely: "Let's go, get out of here first, let me think about what to do so that they will suffer the consequences..."
