Panlong Wall
Chapter 4
The truth behind the incident is actually very simple: a mother loves her daughter dearly, but she still fails to save her life despite all methods.
Regarding the fact that the maid guarding the Qingluan Pagoda was actually Miss Feng's biological mother, the two of them didn't think it was so weird, especially Jiang Qinghe, who was in a famous family and had seen the intricate relationship between people. After listening to it too much, in the final analysis, it is someone else's housework, just feel it in your heart, and don't use it to spread the word to the outside world.But the Patriarch of the Feng family obviously has two wives and concubines, but he has never had anything except Miss Feng.The secret of this is probably not that simple.
The post of maid guarding the tower changes every 15 years, and no marriage is allowed during this period.The woman has been doing it for fourteen years now, and after another year, she will be in her early years. She will be a husband and a daughter in an open and honest manner, and enjoy the happiness of family relationships.But all this is hopeless now, the only beloved daughter has died, so what if she is free, God knows that she has been thinking day and night for so many years, but she has seen her beloved daughter several times but cannot recognize her, and cannot accompany her to grow up with her own eyes , What kind of torment is this.All the hard work and hope are gone in one day, and there is nothing left.
The woman looked at the proud phoenix in the center of the main room, her eyes turned red with hatred, and she gnashed her teeth and said, "Since Xiaoting fell ill, I have knelt in front of it every day and night to pray, hoping that she can recover. As long as she is healthy, I can I can exchange everything I have, and I don’t want anything.” She suddenly became excited, “They all said that there are gods in the golden statue of the green phoenix in Maochang Town, and for more than 100 years in Fuze Township, they have sheltered the townspeople and bless everyone’s longevity. Good health, safe going in and out. However, I prayed hard for more than 400 days and nights, not seeking self, wealth, or longevity. I only hope that my daughter will suffer less pain, which is not what she should have suffered at a young age. pain. But in the end, it couldn't hear, couldn't hear at all..."
"Since it can't hear people's appeals, what is the use of it here? What is the use of so many offerings? What is the use of this tower? Why do so many women spend 15 years of their youth in vain to guard this golden stone?" The woman finally shouted out almost hoarsely, her eyes were cold and resentful, "So, it's better to destroy it!"
After hearing this, Yin Jiyan shook his head: "Life and death are destiny, it's too superstitious." His complexion was very bad, his voice was very soft, and he was a little out of breath.Originally, he was holding Jiang Qinghe's arm, but now his whole body is leaning on it.
"You have never lost, and you have never experienced the pain of losing. You will not understand this kind of feeling!" The woman calmed down a little at this time, and did not refute the abuse or disdain. She just looked at Yin Jiyan coldly, as if she was revealing He saw his future through his eyes, and said without a trace of emotion in his tone, "Do you believe it? One day, you will lose your most cherished person, and what you do will only be worse than me!"
She rolled her eyes, looked at Jiang Qinghe, and said the same: "You are the same. You are the same kind of people."
Regarding her assertion, Yin Jiyan gave her a blank stare, and Jiang Qinghe was noncommittal.He had already noticed that Yin Jiyan's skill seemed to be not as good as before, although he didn't know why, but he still held his hand to help him get rid of his spiritual power.
Yin Jiyan thought for a while and said, "Then the deaths of those people a while ago were also related to you?"
"Yes, I did it. Because if I don't do it, I will die." The woman admitted generously, it didn't matter at all.She raised her head again, stared at the exquisite phoenix head, and said: "The rest of this golden phoenix is either gold or silver, or pendant gems, but they are all common things, only its eyes are different, aren't they?" Ordinary agate stone. This pair of phoenix eyes was given to the craftsman by the man who came to the town to let everyone build the pagoda more than 100 years ago. This matter was told to his daughter, who was the first maid guarding the tower, and it was passed down orally from generation to generation. It is a pity that everyone does not know what that thing is. But it is certain that it is a spiritual thing."
Yin Jiyan raised his eyebrows: "How spiritual is it? Could it be that you can live to the death of human flesh and bones?"
"At least, the disabled hand of the craftsman was healed by this thing in an instant."
"Such a good thing, the craftsman didn't think of substituting the bag for private storage. It seems that people's hearts were very simple back then." Jiang Qinghe sighed.
"That's because the man warned the craftsman that if he didn't complete the phoenix statue and put his eyes on the phoenix head before the specified deadline, the whole family of the craftsman would be burned to death in flames. The craftsman was timid, so naturally Let's do it."
Jiang Qinghe nodded: "Then why are the pair of phoenix eyes still there? Didn't you take them off?"
Speaking of this, the woman showed frustration on her face.She said: "Why don't I want to take it off! Half a month ago, I finally made up my mind to take this thing, but as soon as I touched one of the phoenix eyes, its eyes suddenly flashed, as if there was blood in it In the moving living thing, I also heard the sound of a bird chirping. Immediately, I suddenly felt a burst of heat all over my body, as if my body was scorched by fire, and several burns appeared on my skin out of thin air. I gave up immediately and searched for it nearby One person forcibly poured the poisonous heat in his body into him. When the heat almost dissipated, that person would have been burned to death."
"Dead people have appeared one after another for half a month, which means that the heat in your body will flare up every day. They are all innocent people, and their families were ruined because of you. You are also a cruel person." Yin Jiyan sighed road.
There was no guilt on the woman's face. She glanced at the two of them, tugged at the corners of her mouth, and said with a sneer, "Since you don't want me to harm the innocent, why not let you replace them. You are not the same as those ordinary people. The degree of heat The poison should be able to bear more than once, it can be regarded as my harvest tonight."
Yin Jiyan said angrily, "Do you think we are a dumping ground for waste?" With Jiang Qinghe's help, his complexion looked much better, and he had some strength to speak.
Jiang Qinghe suddenly turned to look at Yin Jiyan, and asked, "Is there anything else you want to ask?"
"Ah? What?" Yin Jiyan didn't understand for a moment.
"I mean, do you know what you want to know?"
"Uh...well..." Yin Jiyan still couldn't figure out what Jiang Qinghe meant, but he didn't seem to want to ask any more, so he answered vaguely.But then, he suddenly thought of something, he tightened Jiang Qinghe's hand, and said, "Oh, there is one more thing, I want to ask you, how do we break out of the formation?"
After Jiang Qinghe gave him a reassuring look, he said to the woman: "But even so, it's not a solution after all. It's not a cure for the symptoms. And you still can't get the pair of fire phoenix pupils. Today is Miss Feng's first seven days." Right? If you don't think about it, her soul will return to the realm of the underworld and enter the Hall of Reincarnation. What are you going to do? Do you want to pour the heat poison on us and extract it by force? It sounds feasible. "
The woman snorted softly and said, "If it's possible, you'll know if you try it."
Jiang Qinghe had some regrets: "It's a pity, you don't have this chance."
Without waiting for the woman to react, Jiang Qinghe took something out of his arms and put it on his palm. He spread his five fingers, and his lips moved slightly but did not make a sound.The originally black object gradually had red threads of light floating around it, rising from Jiang Qinghe's palm, and stopping at a height of three inches from the palm, and then suddenly, the red light rose sharply, and the three of them clearly felt the ground under their feet shaking. And it became more and more powerful, as if something was about to break out from the ground.
"This, this is..." The woman looked at the scene with wide eyes, and forgot to stop it for a while.
Yin Jiyan next to her was even more surprised than her, and his head started to hurt again.Shaking his head, trying to ignore the pain on the top of his head, he stared at Jiang Qinghe incredulously: "Honglian...Jiang Qing and you...what are you going to do?"
Jiang Qinghe had just finished reading, retracted his five fingers, and the piece of red lotus instantly returned to his palm, and the red light disappeared.Then the entire ground began to shake violently, and the body of Qingluan Pagoda was also shaken together. Dozens of gaps four or five fingers thick were cracked on the walls and ground everywhere, and gravel, sand and soil kept crackling and falling down.
Dozens of dark green light traces gushed out from the cracks and spread extremely quickly on the ground. When encountering the scarlet red traces of the rock fire, the red faded instantly, as if being swallowed.In a moment, the main room was replaced by a new formation, like a pattern composed of hundreds of swastikas covering the entire ground.
Immediately afterwards, the center of the formation cracked about two feet in all directions, revealing a black hole, and an astonishing beast roar came out from the inside, resounding through the surrounding fields.A ferocious five-foot-long beast with the appearance of a tiger and wolf covered in hard black scales suddenly jumped out, and its green eyes locked on the three of them in an instant.
The ferocious beast exudes black energy all over its body, its limbs and face are curved with strange patterns, its eyes are dark green, extremely cold and fierce, there is an eye on the back of its head and even its neck, and it has a mouth with fangs. When breathing, there are low and oppressive tremors from the throat, which makes people shudder.Four black chains as thick as adult arms were brought out from its body, wrapped in fireflies, the other end sank into the ground, and the chains hung loosely on the ground.
"Jiang Qinghe, shouldn't you explain it?" Yin Jiyan said calmly, but he held Jiang Qinghe tightly in his hands.
"Didn't you say you were going to break the formation?" Jiang Qinghe looked innocent.
"..."
When Yin Jiyan decided to release his anger freely, Jiang Qinghe said seriously: "Don't you know what the situation is now? This is your weapon." He said and handed the broken pieces of red lotus to Yin Ji Yan.
Yin Jiyan snatched it away, and said angrily, "Of course I know it's Honglian! Otherwise, what am I doing here? I'm asking you, why did you activate the Formless Spirit Formation? No! Why do you know how? Activate the formation? No, no, why do you know this formation? Who told you?" The pain in the head did not show any sign of relief, and double images began to appear in front of my eyes.
Jiang Qinghe looked at him silently, remembering Yin Jiyan's lonely expression at that moment before.After a long time, until Yin Jiyan couldn't help but burst out, he said: "You said you came here for Honglian, then who did you think you would meet?"
"I..." Yin Jiyan was at a loss for words for a while, and then said simply, "What does it have to do with this..."
"All this was told to me by the person you thought you would meet." Jiang Qinghe interrupted him, "It was also him who handed over this section of red lotus to me."
Jiang Qinghe calmly looked at Yin Jiyan, who was completely stunned and speechless, without the slightest fluctuation in his words: "The purpose of my coming here is to win Gaolang's heart."
Regarding the fact that the maid guarding the Qingluan Pagoda was actually Miss Feng's biological mother, the two of them didn't think it was so weird, especially Jiang Qinghe, who was in a famous family and had seen the intricate relationship between people.
