Gu Yunshu glanced at the guards and maids outside the house, a faint light flashed in his hands, and he laid down a barrier without leaving any trace.
Sensing the subtle fluctuations in spiritual power, Su Zhen raised her eyebrows slightly, "Mr. Dongli, why are you and the young monk here if you didn't stay in the main city of Jiangdu to help the prince control the flood?"
"Come to save you."
"Save us? How? Are we okay?"
"How did you get here?" Gu Yunshu asked.
Su Zhen adjusted her words a little and said everything before.
She noticed that when she mentioned the woman named Sang Sang, both Gu Yunshu and Xiao Chuhong's expressions changed.
"Azhan? Where did Sangsang go?"
"Huh? Senior Sangsang? I can't remember it either. When I woke up, I saw my uncle! He was the one who brought me to you."
A Zhan, who was suddenly called by his name, raised his head and answered truthfully.
"I see, then where did you go before? I seemed to be in a dark space and heard many voices of yours calling me, but it's strange that no matter how hard I searched, I couldn't find you."
"Dark space? How could it be? When I woke up, I was in a rice field behind the valley, and there were many scarecrows there!"
"..."
scarecrow?
Hearing A Zhan's words, Su Zhen immediately thought of the strange things in Jiangdu, but was she too suspicious?
"Zhen'er, maybe you can guess how we got in?" Gu Yunshu asked.
Su Zhen shook her head.
Gu Yunshu opened his palms, and after the sapphire light flashed, Su Zhen looked at the blue water jade bracelet in his hand, her face suddenly changed, and she sat up with a 'chic'.
"Shi Huan Dial?! Why is Shi Huan Dial here with you?! Where is Jing'er? Where is she?"
"I didn't see her."
Afterwards, Gu Yunshu slowly explained the reason.
It turned out that not long after Su Zhen left the main city of Jiangdu, officers and soldiers discovered several corpses on a street in the main city. They rolled up the tattered mats and threw them away.
When the prince first came to Jiangdu, he was determined not to suppress this matter.
When Gu Yunshu was 'ordered' to lead people to investigate the matter, he suddenly realized that their consciousness had been forcibly invaded before they died.
While their living souls had not dissipated, he used the empathy technique and discovered that Su Zhen had appeared here before, and used the 'Silent Song' to immersively invade their sea of consciousness...
Following their messy and broken memories, Gu Yunshu and Yuzhu, who followed him quietly, came to the location of the ruined temple where Su Zhen and A Zhan had visited.
However, according to Gu Yunshu, it is no longer a ruined temple, but there are countless scarecrows placed there.
The moment they stepped into it, the magic circle was activated. However, after they cracked the magic circle, they found a wooden box and opened it. Inside was the Dial of Time.
"Shi Huan Dial... Soul-Splitting... Cassia Pestle... Rebirth?!" Su Zhen's heart suddenly became cold and she became confused, "Dong Li-kun, actually, I have already
I’ve met Jing’er.”
"What? Where is she?"
"Red Lotus Waterside Pavilion."
"Red Waterside Pavilion?! I heard from those maids that their wife of the owner of the valley lives there. How could the princess be there? Are you mistaken?" Tang Yinchen asked.
They already knew about Shang Jingyao's fake death and tacitly understood it.
"Because, their new wife is her."
"Ah? How is that possible? No one knows that the princess is deeply in love with you. How could she run into this valley if she is so good?"
"She is now called Yueniang, and she doesn't remember me at all. To her, I am just an uninvited guest who strayed into the valley."
"..."
"Zhen'er, were you responsible for the death of those people?" Gu Yunshu asked.
"I didn't kill the people, they just fainted. Silent music won't hurt anyone."
"Well, you probably haven't noticed that they have all been planted with Gu insects in their bodies. The insects are small, transparent and non-aggressive. But once someone wants to use empathy or other techniques,
, if you want to invade the consciousness of its host, the mother Gu will naturally receive the response."
Su Zhen heard this and finally understood why the ruined temple had changed when they arrived.
There were messy clues piled up, but she didn't know where to start, and she didn't have any clue.
Xiao Chuhong listened carefully to what they said, tapping the table with the index finger of his right hand. Su Zhen looked back at him, her heart rising and falling along with it.
"Xiao Xiao, what exactly do you know?"
"This was a thousand years ago."
Xiao Chuhong's words caused a stir, and even Su Zhen changed her expression.
"What did you say? Thousands of years ago? How is that possible!"
"Sometimes the sundial is there, what's so surprising about it?"
"You already knew this?"
Xiao Chuhong shook his head, "When I received the news from Yunshu that you had strayed into danger again, I rushed over immediately. It was just that they were a little late, so we cooperated inside and outside and successfully found the entrance. After that, a group of us
All came this thousand years ago.”
"That's not right! Tangyu, how did you get in?"
Tang Yinchen was stunned and looked at Yang Huanzhi awkwardly. The latter frowned and said, "We broke into the imperial mausoleum quietly, dodged the guards and searched inside for a long time, until we accidentally touched the mechanism and opened a
Stone chamber..."
"Stone chamber? What's in there?"
"There is only one sarcophagus, and in that sarcophagus, we found a corpse." Yang Huanzhi looked strange, "We had just approached, and Yinchen's fan suddenly glowed with white light, and then our feet suddenly sank and fell.
Enter this valley."
"Bones? There must be bones in the coffin in the tomb of the imperial mausoleum! Otherwise, it could be a sleeping beauty?"
Su Zhen originally thought that their expressions were too serious, and wanted to liven up the freezing atmosphere with casual remarks, but when she saw Gu Yunshu's increasingly solemn expression, she gradually stopped smiling.
Yang Huanzhi continued, "The upper body of the corpse is human bones, and the lower body is fish tail. Under the bones, there are many feathers."
Winged mermaid?
Su Zhen's first reaction was the Winged Mermaid clan, but she couldn't figure it out, "How could the body of the Winged Mermaid be in the Luoqi Emperor's Mausoleum? Did any emperor or prince ever marry a concubine who was... eh?
?That’s not right! The winged mermaid clan was destroyed hundreds of thousands of years ago! And they will leave nothing behind after they die, so where did the bones come from?!"
"There won't be any bones left?"
"How do you know?"
Yang Huanzhi and Tang Yinchen asked in unison.
"Some monsters don't leave their bones behind after they die."
"Then how do you know that the Winged Mermaids won't stay?"
"Not long ago, I went there in person and saw with my own eyes that the entire Winged Mermaid tribe was empty, with nothing in it."
"..." Tang Yinchen argued, "Didn't you leave nothing behind? Maybe you went to an illusion as well?"
Su Zhen glanced at Xiao Chuhong and replied firmly, "It's true." This chapter has been completed!
