"Accepting an adopted son?" Princess Qianyou frowned.
"Accept the adopted son and send him to the Immortal Sect, hoping that the forbidden pill that the adopted son seeks will come back?" Zhong Shan suddenly recalled.
Looking at Zhong Shan unexpectedly, Ruyan nodded and said: "Yes, the young master can see clearly that this is your husband's plan. In the next time, he will cultivate and cultivate adopted sons, hoping that there will be a few adopted sons among them."
I was spotted by the Immortal Sect and asked for the Forbidden Breaking Pill, thus breaking through the acquired realm. Do you know what my husband has been saying all this time?"
"What?" Princess Qianyou asked.
"I only need a starting point, and as long as I have a starting point, I will do better than anyone else." Ruyan recalled.
"Yes, acquired and innate, there is a huge gap. When you reach innate, even if you enter the ranks of cultivators, you can contact many practitioners and go to many places that acquired cultivation cannot." Princess Qianyou nodded.
"When my husband was eighty-four years old, there was an Immortal Sect recruiting disciples, and I went there with all my adopted sons. That day, I also went. Faced with the temptation of the Immortal Sect, all the adopted sons fought selflessly, and in the end there were two
The adopted son was chosen, but the two adopted sons did not ask for the Forbidden Breaking Pill for their husbands at all, but followed the Immortal Sect and returned to the mountain with their swords." Ruyan said with a sad face.
Princess Qianyou was furious at the side, while Zhong Shan clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with surprise. Suddenly Zhong Shan stopped, raised his head, and took a long breath. It was obvious that something was raging in his heart.
Princess Qianyou looked at Zhong Shan strangely. I wonder what happened to Zhong Shan suddenly?
"Sir, are you okay?" Ruyan looked at Zhongshan and asked.
"I'm fine!" Zhong Shan took a long breath and said.
It's so similar, the head of the Xiao family is so similar to him, except that he is luckier than him, and Zhong Tian finally asked for a forbidden pill.
"Keep talking," Zhong Shan said.
At this time, he also walked to a house, and Ruyan gently pushed it open. On the northernmost side of the room, there was a portrait. In the portrait, a young and beautiful woman was Ruyan, while the other had gray hair.
An old man with goosebumps all over his face. A shriveled old man.
The portraits are vivid and vivid, showing a loving scene between an old man and his young wife.
"This is a portrait that my husband asked an artist to paint when he was ninety-four years old. It has been hanging here. After thousands of years of constant protection by me, you can still see your husband's face in the past." Ruyan pointed to the portrait of the old man in the painting.
.
"Did you achieve innateness at that time?" Princess Qianyou said.
"Yes, I have achieved innateness, and my appearance remains the same, but my husband's end is coming soon. In the last few years, I often see my husband smiling bitterly alone, and my heart is always filled with sorrow. My husband allows me to go out and walk by myself, and continue to move toward immortality.
, but how can Ruyan leave her husband and live alone?" Ruyan said with a hint of sadness.
"What happened next?" Princess Qianyou looked at Ruyan.
"My husband had built the tomb a long time ago. The deadline was approaching. Two years later, my husband was ninety-six years old. His mobility began to become inconvenient. He refused to leave when I saw him. Finally, we made an appointment to go to hell together." Such as
Yan said.
"Meet to go to hell together?" Princess Qianyou said sadly.
"We are husband and wife in life, and we are husband and wife in death," Ruyan said, then patted the corner of the wall.
"It's been a thousand years, and the mechanism is no longer working. Master, please remove this floor tile." Ruyan pointed to a large brick in the corner of the wall.
Zhong Shan was feeling depressed at the moment. Looking at this old man Xiao, he thought about his past self. If he couldn't get the Forbidden Breaking Pill, would he be the same? He immediately walked over and lifted up the floor.
The floor was lifted up, revealing a downward passage, and Ruyan walked straight down it. Zhong Shan also took out a luminous pearl and walked down with Princess Qianyou.
The lower you go, the bigger it gets. Below is a large secret room with many compartments. It looks extremely eerie and terrifying, but no matter how scary it is, not to mention that Zhong Shan and Princess Qianyou are cultivators themselves.
Thousand-year-old ghosts are here, what could be more eerie and terrifying?
Ruyan led the two of them around for a while and walked into the largest secret room.
There is a large sarcophagus in the secret room, which looks very conspicuous.
"Right here." Ruyan pointed to the sarcophagus and said.
"Can I open it?" Zhong Shan asked.
"Master, please excuse me," Ruyan said.
Handing the luminous pearl in his hand to Princess Qianyou, Zhong Shan gently pushed the lid of the coffin with his hand, revealing a thin crack and a faint light coming from inside.
With a heavy heart, Zhong Shan continued to push until the coffin lid was completely pushed open, revealing the scene inside.
There are some gaps in the sarcophagus, allowing some air to be poured in. Inside, at one end of the coffin is a round box with a Tai Chi Yin and Yang fish pattern. On top of the box, at the eyes of the Yin and Yang fish, there is a wick, which glows slightly.
Due to the flame on the wick, one lamp lights up and the other goes out. Under the wick is a strange kind of lamp oil, so that it seems that it has not burned out in a thousand years.
In the coffin, there is another white bone. The white bone is lying on its side. Under the white bone, there is a pile of black ashes. And above the white bone's neck, there is a necklace with two connected strings on it.
Rings together.
Zhong Shan did not touch it, but looked at Ru Yan.
"This white bone is my corpse. The thing wrapped around my neck is the token of love my husband gave me back then. It's called the 'love button', which means that we will always be united, live and die together, and never be separated. And that one is
Eternal lamps made with our blood respectively." Ruyan said.
"Acacia Buckle?" Princess Qianyou looked at the necklace with emotion.
"What happened then? How did you die?" Zhong Shan asked with a frown.
"That day, my husband sent everyone in the family away and came here with me. He lit the lantern and closed the coffin lid. He hugged me and we swallowed cinnabar together and prepared to go to hell together." Ruyan said.
"Hold you? Swallow cinnabar? Have you swallowed it?" Zhong Shan asked with a frown.
"After swallowing it, he fed me and I fed him. After swallowing the cinnabar, we hugged each other tightly and went to hell together hand in hand." Ruyan said.
"But Xiao Bingyi is missing." Zhong Shan said with a frown.
"Yes, my husband is gone. When I came back on the night when I returned to my soul, he was gone. After I went out, I found that everyone nearby was gone, not one of them. I just waited here for my husband to come back, but
, I have waited for a thousand years, I am tired, very tired, please help me find a husband." Ruyan looked at Zhong Shan and said.
"Miss Ruyan, don't worry. I, Zhongshan, have never broken my promise. However, are you sure that Xiao Bingyi is still alive in this world? After all, it has been a thousand years, and his bones may have been dead long ago." Zhongshan
said.
"No, his ever-bright lamp is still on. As soon as he enters the underworld, the ever-bright lamp will go out. He may be dead, but his soul has not dispersed and he has not entered the underworld. He is still in this world." Ruyan pointed to the two-person lamp.
There are only one wick, and there is only one bright light.
Zhong Shan didn't know why, so he looked at Princess Qianyou.
"The eternal lamp is like this. The lamp oil is filled with blood and has a trace of soul. As long as the soul is in this world, the lamp will not go out. Once the soul disperses or enters the underworld, it will be extinguished." Princess Qianyou said.
"So, you have entered the underworld?" Princess Qianyou suddenly looked at Ruyandao.
"Yes, I waited down there for seven days and didn't see my husband, so I took an opportunity to come back on the night of Huihun. However, when I came back, I found that my husband's body was gone and his ever-burning lamp had not been extinguished.
Then he is still in this world." Ruyan shook her head and said sadly.
"But it is impossible for a ghost to stay alone in the mortal world for such a long time. You have waited for a thousand years, unless someone keeps instilling Yin Qi in you." Princess Qianyou said.
Ruyan looked at Qianyou, shook her head and did not answer, but looked at Zhongshan and said: "Master, can you find my husband?"
Taking a deep breath, Zhong Shan looked at the sarcophagus and had mixed feelings in his heart. Xiao Bingyi was not dead, but how could he survive in such a desperate situation?
Not to mention that he had the same bones as his own, even if he swallowed cinnabar at that time, he would still be in a certain death situation. The end was approaching, how on earth did he survive? How did he live for a thousand years.
"Have the people who used to live near Xiao Mansion never appeared again?" Zhong Shan asked.
"No, on the day of the soul-returning night, there was no one here. Not long after, the miasma enveloped me. For thousands of years, I asked many mortals who passed by this place, but no one knew about it, and no one knew her husband." Ruyan looked at it.
Zhong Shan shook his head and said.
Zhong Shan frowned. He had mixed feelings in his heart, because Zhong Shan had already guessed a possibility from Ru Yan's mouth, but Zhong Shan did not want to believe it, refused to believe that possibility, because if that possibility was true, it would also be true.
It will bring out the softness in your heart.
"Could it be that Xiao Bingyi's adopted son finally came back?" Princess Qianyou said suddenly.
Hearing Princess Qianyou express his suspicion, Zhong Shan took a long breath. At this moment, he had to face this contradictory matter.
"No, at that time my husband's two adopted sons didn't care about me at all. They looked cold and looked down upon us." Ruyan shook her head and said.
"Dismissive? You were extremely disappointed at that time, so when you looked at things, you would have a slight deviation. No matter what, it is possible." Princess Qianyou said.
"No, no," Ruyan shook her head.
Taking a deep breath, Zhong Shan looked at Ruyan and said, "Who knows what happened at that time? Which sect is interested in Xiao Bingyi's adopted son? Let's go and ask."
"It's impossible, they can't come back." Ruyan didn't believe it.
"At least ask them to see if they know the whereabouts of Xiao Bingyi. Only by asking can we possibly know." Zhong Shan said.
"Okay, I only know that both of them are disciples of the Cangyun Sect, and I don't know anything else." Ruyan thought for a while.
"Okay, let's go to Cangyun Sect and have a look. Then we will come back and tell you." Zhong Shan said.
"No, I'll go with you." Ruyan looked at Zhong Shan and said.
