Chapter 100: The King of Sorrow
Only then did I understand why such a powerful character as Ouyang Mo must use the Qianyang Sword. The power of that sword cannot be underestimated.
The Qianyang Sword in Liusu's hand stabbed the nine-headed monster's neck accurately.
Only the roaring sound was heard and the monster fell heavily to the ground. Liusu turned over and sat on the monster's body, and the green sticky liquid slowly flowed out.
Liusu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with an ugly face: "Don't stay here, get out quickly!"
I couldn't care less about the others and grabbed the peony jade pendant on the ground and ran out like crazy.
The originally closed wooden door was opened with great force. Chen Shan was still standing in his original position. When he saw me running out, his whole body moved uncontrollably.
Then he quickly walked up to me with a nervous look on his face: "What happened to you just now?"
"Get out of here quickly." I looked at Chen Shan talking incoherently, and at the same time I understood more clearly that even if all of us were included, we might not be able to defeat the nine-headed monster.
I even doubt whether what Chen Shan said is true.
Did it happen to be the location of the main tomb twenty years ago by chance, or was there another hidden secret?
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but run outside, but the original stone door had been blocked.
I heard the roar of a monster in my ears, and warm liquid fell from the sky. When I turned around, I saw Liusu being thrown heavily onto it. I saw the furry claws cut open his belly, and I could even see his intestines coming out.
The air was filled with the smell of blood. I didn't care about anything else. When I grabbed Liu Xing's arm and walked out, Liu Xing stopped and looked in the direction of the palace with cold eyes and a calm voice that was scary: " I won't go with you."
"Do you know you will die if you stay here?" I shouted hastily, not understanding what she was struggling with.
Anyway, Chen Shan and the others don't care about Liu Xing's life. It doesn't matter whether he sells his life or not.
"If I leave you, I will still die." After Liu Xing said this lightly, I saw a flash of grayness in her eyes, which quickly disappeared.
Seeing that Liusu was about to die, Liu Xing quickly ran over and tied the monster's neck with a rope, used his strength to climb on top of the monster, then pulled out the Qianyang Sword from the monster's body and stabbed it fiercely. Eye!
The green liquid fell everywhere. Liusu spat out a mouthful of blood and looked at Liu Xing with a complicated expression.
"Boom -" was the sound of the monster falling heavily to the ground. Chen Shan covered his nose with a handkerchief and walked to Liu Xing's side. His voice was a little hoarse, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay." Liu Xing spat out a mouthful of blood and sat cross-legged on the ground without saying anything. He looked seriously injured.
I walked to Liusu and carefully helped him up and looked at Liusu: "Are you okay?"
Logically speaking, he is already a living dead and shouldn't have such serious injuries, but Liusu doesn't look fake.
Liusu's Adam's apple moved when he saw me staring at him: "Do you know what a living dead is?"
"What?"
As soon as I asked Liusu, he grabbed my hand and put it on his chest. He couldn't feel the slightest beating of his heart.
I was so frightened that I quickly retracted my hand and whispered: "What on earth is going on in the hotel?"
Ouyang Mo sealed his memory, but why did this man remember everything?
"Not everything in this world can go his way." Liusu said this with an unclear expression and closed his eyes to rest.
The danger was temporarily over. I looked around and couldn't find any other exits. However, there was an oval-shaped hole above. Although it was dark, I could give it a try.
The rope Liu Xing tied to it just now has not been broken yet, so it is not impossible to climb up with the rope.
Looking at the palace in front of me, my desire to explore has been reduced a lot. I just want to know the secrets from twenty years ago and the curse on the Zhou family.
As for the treasures of this place, there are secrets that I don't want the world to know. I don't want to touch them.
Then I saw Mr. Liu walking up to me with freeze-dried mutton. I didn’t know what was going on with him. He was limping, and the back of his hand was cracked, revealing traces of blood. It looked strange.
"What's wrong with your hand?" I shook my head but did not take the thing from the old man's hand.
As a true southerner, I am still not used to eating this food.
Mr. Liu was not angry and pulled off the mutton and chewed it in his mouth. You could even see the saliva at the corner of his mouth. His face looked like dry tree bark, and it turned several degrees darker after entering this place.
"My dear, you can eat while you can now, otherwise you won't even be able to eat later."
As he spoke, he patted my shoulder and looked pointedly in the direction of Chen Shan.
I didn't say anything, I just kept staring at the mutton on the ground and hesitated for a moment before taking it into my hand.
To be honest, I still can’t accept this habit of eating meat and drinking alcohol.
After just a few mouthfuls of mutton, he choked. Mr. Liu took the soju and threw it to the ground. Then he pointed in the direction of Chen Shan: "Mr. Chen, I need to see you for something."
I picked up the shochu casually, stood up, patted the ashes on my butt and walked to Chen Shan. Instead of the previous awe, I just asked coldly: "What's the matter?"
"Do you have a jade pendant on your body?" Chen Shan said lightly and my heart tightened. I don't know what those people would do if they knew about Li Siyu's existence.
He stared at Chen Shan with an unclear and complicated expression and said, "What's wrong with the jade pendant?"
"I saw a light when you were in the palace. Liu Xing told me that it was the unique light of the peony jade pendant. So that jade pendant saved you?"
"I don't know." I shook my head and pretended I didn't know. No matter whether I could escape or not, I didn't want anything to happen to Li Siyu.
When Chen Shan heard this, he sneered and pulled me to sit next to him. He squinted slightly and stared at the palace in front. The mummy at the four corners was blown by the wind. From a distance, nothing could be seen.
A character as powerful as Liusu was seriously injured, but I was not injured at all, which is really suspicious.
"I want to tell you a legend."
"It's just a legend. You don't need to tell me." I refused directly without even thinking about it. It is no longer easy for me to keep things that I think are important.
And those so-called legends mean nothing to me.
"If the protagonist of the legend is related to the contents of your peony jade pendant, would you still be willing to listen?"
I stopped walking before leaving, and I looked back at Chen Shan in disbelief. It turned out that they had known about it for a long time.
"Since you know about the peony jade pendant, why don't you expose my ruse?" I looked at Chen Shan puzzledly. Song Zixuan tried every means to destroy it at the beginning.
By chance, Li Siyu became the host of the peony jade pendant. Now she is attached to the peony jade pendant. As long as it has Qilin blood, it does not have to worry about being sealed.
But I don’t understand, why did Chen Shan ask what he just said when he knew everything?
Chen Shan did not answer my question, but looked at the palace in front and said solemnly: "It is said that King Shang is a woman, and she can only live as a man because she wants to make great achievements."
"Once she encountered an ambush on the way to kill the enemy and was unfortunately surrounded by the enemy. She was then captured alive."
"What happened next?" According to today's bloody routine, the Shang King was arrested, made eye contact with the leader of the other party, and then eloped.
But what I didn't expect was that Chen Shan sighed and said: "When the other party saw that she was a woman, they used hundreds of soldiers to insult King Shang, and they did so in front of all the soldiers."
Hearing this, I couldn't help but take a breath. This evil feudal society is particularly harsh on women. The sad king was humiliated in public. Even if he was alive, he would be worse off than dead.
"So what does the Shang King have to do with the Peony Jade Pendant?"
"Later, King Shang was sent back by the enemy. The king directly sent her to a small town in the south on the grounds that she had brought disgrace to the royal family, and tied her with a sky-grabbing chain so that she would never leave the south forever."
"I feel that her unlucky life should not pollute this northern land."
Hearing this, I couldn't help but feel a little sad. He had made great contributions to him while he was alive, but once something happened, he would be a wretch despised by everyone. It's really pitiful that he can't even have peace in death.
Chen Shan looked at me like this and frowned: "I didn't do it to make you sympathize with her."
I came back to my senses and remembered what Chen Shan said just now and whispered: "So Li Siyu is..."
"She's not." Chen Shan said solemnly, "It's just a charm cultivated in the tomb of a Maoshan Feng Shui master. It's formless and soulless, and most importantly, it has no emotions."
"And using charm to perform sacrificial rituals can change people's fate."
At this point, Chen Shan stared at me and said, "Do you still remember why people in Shangyang Village want peony jade pendants?"
Then I suddenly realized: "So they didn't want to kill the man, but instead used the charm in the jade pendant to change the man's fate?"
Chen Shan nodded and was about to get up. I remembered something and grabbed Chen Shan and said, "But you haven't told me what the contents of the peony jade pendant have to do with King Shang."
I talked for a long time but still didn't get to the point.
Chen Shan stared at me with a sneer, then looked at Mr. Liu not far away: "He will tell you the rest of the story."
I really didn't understand what kind of medicine these two people were selling, but I was eager to know what happened next, so I walked up to Mr. Liu. The smell of sheep on his body was very strong, and I felt unspeakably sad.
Seeing me sitting on the edge taking out the tobacco stick, he said in a deep voice: "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"I just want to ask you." I hesitated and looked at Mr. Liu and said, "The identity of the owner of this tomb?"
"Didn't I tell you before?" Mr. Liu squinted at me and said, "The Tomb of the Shang King."
"Then do you know the story of King Shang?" If what Chen Shan said is true, then King Shang should be a northerner who was sent to the south for some reasons.
So how long did she live in the south and in what capacity?
How did she die in the end? How did the dog emperor lock her soul with a sky chain?
And most importantly, what is the relationship between Li Siyu and King Shang?
