After hearing Nangong Fan's question, Wang Jinxi calmed down from the problems of love and life and death and continued: "I dreamed that nine lanterns were chasing me, saying they wanted to take away my soul and light the sky lanterns.
, every time those nine lanterns try to catch up with me, Ying'e will wake me up!"
"I originally thought it was a dream, but one day I found Ying'e and my father-in-law quarreling. I leaned over and listened, and then I realized that the nine lanterns I dreamed about were not fake.
It’s true, every day after I go to bed, my father-in-law lights nine lanterns in front of my window!”
"He really wants to use my life to light the sky lanterns and change Ying'e's life."
"Ying'e saved me every time. He woke me up, which actually broke the trap of the nine lanterns. Ying'e angrily scolded my father-in-law. She said, I am her husband, if I use my life
In exchange for her life, she would rather die, die now!"
"After the quarrel with my father-in-law, Ying'e went back to the room crying. I also went to the room to persuade her. She told me at that time, let me leave quickly and leave this village. Only by leaving here can we be safe.
If you continue to live, even though you will end up alone, you will be able to live your whole life after all.”
"I asked Ying'e to go with me at that time, but she refused. She said she was going to die soon, and she wanted to die with her father."
"Later, I still left, and left in despair. I was really reluctant to let go, but I still chose to continue living. I was afraid of death!"
"After I left, I contacted Ying'e many times and asked when I could go back, but she said, let me wait!"
"It's not that Ying'e is looking for me and I won't go back, it's that she said I would die if I went back and told me not to go back."
"Those things I told others before were nonsense."
Sure enough, it turned out that there was a big problem with that information.
Wang Jinxi continued: "Later I heard from the villagers that my father-in-law was dead. I asked Ying'e if I could go back, but she still refused to let me go back. She also said that if I went back, she would die immediately."
"Until one day, Li Ying'e told me that I could go back and left me a house in the countryside."
"But when I went back, I found that there was really only one house left. Ying'e disappeared. I heard that she went to Lijiayu, so I spent all the money I earned from working and hired a few powerful masters to follow me.
Together with me, I decided to find her back, but unfortunately, I found her but could not get her back."
"I will always remember Ying'e's expression when she asked me to leave, and how she told me never to come back here again. I can feel that she loves me so much, and I..."
At this point, Wang Jinxi started crying again.
After listening to Wang Jinxi's words, I took a deep breath and said, "I didn't expect that the truth of the matter would be so different from the original story."
Wang Jinxi said nothing.
And we also learned some clues from Wang Jinxi's story, especially about the secret technique of the nine sky lanterns. Although it is very vague, it is better than the complete darkness we just had.
It's just that it's still difficult for us to make much substantial progress.
Then we chatted for a while, and I said to Wang Jinxi: "Since you have confessed to us, I also promise you that if Li Ying'e appears later, I will give you some time alone."
"By the way, having said that, I have another question. Do you know that Li Ying'e has become a dirty thing now?"
Wang Jinxi nodded and said: "Well, the time I met Ying'e in the old house, she also said something to me. She said that she was no longer alive and asked me not to look for her again."
It turned out that Li Ying'e personally told Wang Jinxi.
We listened to Wang Jinxi's story here, and a long time passed without realizing it. In the blink of an eye, it was more than three o'clock in the afternoon. We returned to the tomb again, ready to think of ways to explore the situation inside, but next we were here
I worked hard all afternoon and made no progress.
Nothing inside the tomb has come out to trouble us, and we don’t know what the situation is inside.
In the blink of an eye, it was evening again, the sun was setting, and the whole sky was dim.
Wang Jinxi was a little disappointed and said: "Is there no other way?"
I said: "For now, no!"
We had no intention of returning to Lijiayu Village, but instead pitched a tent to live in the wasteland near the tomb. We didn't have Wang Jinxi's tent, so I let him and Hu Jiashu live in a tent.
I really didn't want to sleep in a tent with him, and Hu Jiashu didn't say anything about my arrangement.
There was no moon that night, the sky was full of stars, and every star was particularly bright. We didn't go to bed early, but continued to study the tomb in the dark. We didn't find anything during the day, so we hoped that there would be something different at night.
clues appear.
A few of us were looking for clues around the tomb in the middle of the night. It was quite scary to think about it.
While searching, I kept thinking about the clues we found during the day. At this time, a sentence Hu Jiashu asked from the thorns suddenly appeared in my mind. It said that the entrance is in the sky.
I subconsciously looked up at the sky. The stars in the sky were twinkling. For a moment, I felt that the arrangement of the stars in the sky looked familiar. I seemed to have seen them somewhere.
That's the image of the seventy-one stars I saw in the coffin of the woman's corpse in Xingfanling. Yes, that's the image.
But I don't think it's too similar, because the positions of some stars are not very consistent.
Just when I looked up at the star, I was still thinking about what the thorn said. It said the entrance was in the air. Could it be that the clues to the entrance were in the air, not the real entrance?
With this thought in mind, I quickly walked to the thorn, and then looked up from the thorn to the sky. When I looked at it, I found that there were nine brighter stars directly above my head. They were arranged in a formation.
The extremely irregular word "die".
And I also realized that if I had to leave the ten-meter range of the thorns and then look up at the sky, the nine bright stars would no longer appear in my sight.
I tried it several times, and it happened every time. I could only see the nine stars if I got within ten meters of the thorn.
At this time, a thought suddenly flashed through my mind: "Could those nine stars be nine sky lanterns?"
When I said this, Nangong Fan, White Wolf Chai Min, Hu Jiashu and Ning Xi all came closer. Like me, they stayed away from and approached the thorns to see the changes in the sky. After trying a few times, they almost said at the same time: "
Those should be the nine sky lanterns!"
I also asked Wang Jinxi to come over to see if the pattern of the stars was the one Li Changtian had shown him.
Wang Jinxi was also curious and came over to take a look, and then immediately said in surprise: "That's it, that's it!"
Hu Jiashu suddenly said at this time: "I have found these nine sky lanterns, but how do I break them? They are nine stars!"
Nangong Fancong shook his head at this time and said: "Those are not real stars. Don't forget, I have the eyes of the stars. I can see through the stars in the sky with just one glance whether they are real or fake. Those nine stars are not real stars!"
I also said: "Yes, if they are real stars, there is no reason why they can only be seen within ten meters of the thorns, so I guess there must be some special arrangement near the thorns!"
During the day, we had been searching near the tomb and did not search carefully around the thorns at all. The key was also because Hu Jiashu asked about the thorns here, so we thought there was no need to explore there anymore.
It turns out that we have found a crucial clue, but we ignored it.
That the thorn knows the entrance means there is something wrong with it, but we are too obsessed with what it said and completely ignore that the thorn itself is a clue.
We searched around the thorns, and soon we discovered that there were nine jade bottles tied to the roots of the thorns. After digging out the jade bottles, each jade bottle contained a talisman, and on the talisman
The drawings were runes I had never seen before.
Not only me, but no one else in our group has seen it either.
I picked all the jade bottles from the thorn roots, put them away, and then buried them in the soil again.
But just as we buried the soil for it, it withered at a speed that we can see with our naked eyes!
We were stunned when we saw this. We shined our flashlights on the dried thorns and quickly looked up at the nine stars in the sky!
The nine stars did not disappear because we took out the jade bottle and the thorns, but became brighter and brighter!
what 's wrong?
Just when I didn't understand what was going on, Nangong Fanxong suddenly said: "Those nine fake 'stars' are getting closer to us, so they feel brighter and brighter!"
It turns out they are approaching us!
They are approaching us, which means that the sky lanterns are closer to the ground. Does the landing of the lanterns that day mean that the problem of these nine sky lanterns has been broken?
While I was thinking this, I finally saw clearly what the nine fake stars in the sky were. They turned out to be nine lanterns floating in the sky with strange runes painted on them.
When I saw the lanterns, I couldn't help but take a breath and said: "Why are there nine lanterns? Li Changtian has been dead for more than ten years, and these dozen lanterns have been shining in the sky for more than ten years. These nine sky lanterns
It’s really awesome!”
We are all accomplished people and we could see clearly that it was a lantern, but Wang Jinxi still couldn't see clearly. He looked at us and said, "What lantern? Where is the lantern?"
A few minutes later, when the lanterns were only a few dozen meters away from us, he finally saw them clearly. He said with a surprised look on his face: "They are those lanterns, the nine lanterns I saw in my dream, they are them.
I recognize it!"
Is it the lantern in Wang Jinxi’s dream!?
We are already standing at the door of the truth! (To be continued)
