Murong Xi looked at the distance to the coffin and calculated how long they had walked to get here. Moreover, Murong Xi recalled the treasure map and found that their location should be on the second floor, which meant that even if they opened the coffin, they would not be there after entering.
It should be the third floor of the ancient tomb. There is no way to exit from this place. But the patriarch’s behavior is a bit strange. Since it is on the third floor, why not just walk there instead of entering through the coffin?
At this moment, a piece of the coffin suddenly popped out, and a chess game rose up from inside.
The patriarch looked at the chess game and sneered. He picked up the treasure map and looked at it by the candlelight. No matter what, he couldn't see anything on it.
Of course Ji Limo and others knew what the clan leader was looking for. It seemed that the clan leader still overestimated himself. Without those numbers, he still couldn't get in.
"Clan leader, you are indeed very familiar with the ancient tomb." Ji Limo suddenly asked.
The clan leader was really shocked by Ji Limo. He didn't expect that Ji Limo and others would follow so closely. He thought Xun'er would hold on for a while, but as expected, Murong Xi still didn't believe that Xun'er was the one.
"It turned out to be Master Wu Zun. I don't know what happened. He was in the ancient tomb as soon as he woke up." The clan leader still wanted to lie.
"Patriarch, please stop making excuses. We followed you all the way. If it weren't for you, I believe we wouldn't be here so quickly. I thought you had just entered the ancient tomb, but I didn't expect you to be interested in the ancient tomb.
It's so familiar." Ji Limo said with a smile.
"It turns out that Master Wu Zun came in with his subordinates. If you had told me earlier, my subordinates would have brought you in." The clan leader lowered his head and said.
The patriarch saw Murong Xi and Feng Mingye walking out from behind the pillar. He knew that today's plan had failed. But he must not be caught, otherwise he would have no chance at all.
So, the clan leader planned to leave Shi Jiang, but found that his chest was extremely itchy and painful. He had to scratch at his clothes desperately. Only when his chest was exposed did he realize that it was a poisonous insect worming its way out of the flesh.
The clan leader was shocked, because he had removed the poison long ago, why did the poison still attack his heart? He didn't pay attention at first, but in fact it had been hurting for several days. He only thought that he might have practiced too frequently and was suffering from heartache due to fatigue.
What on earth was going on? The patriarch raised his eyes and saw Murong Xi's sarcastic smile. He knew that he had been tricked by Murong Xi.
"It turns out it's you, and my subordinates are willing to accept the defeat, but they are already very careful. I wonder when the saint did it?" the patriarch said with a wry smile.
"Actually, I have never done anything. Do you believe it?" the saint said.
"Holy girl, since you've already done it, don't hide it anymore." The patriarch said.
"I really didn't do anything to you. You were poisoned before because I gave you a poison. But the pills you took in the dark room were indeed pills to cure the poison. However, you didn't believe me and thought again and again.
You have to cure the poison yourself. In fact, at that time, you only need to take a few more pills and the poison will be completely eliminated. But you didn't believe me, and you stopped taking the pills at the end." Murong Xi smiled.
said with a smile.
"Holy Girl, do you mean that the pill you gave me was really the antidote?" The patriarch was shocked. He really didn't believe Murong Xi's words.
"At this time, why should I lie to you? After all, you are also a member of the Fengtian Sect. I will not be so cruel to my family. However, because of your distrust, I pushed myself to a dead end." Murong Xi
said.
After hearing what Murong Xi said, the patriarch took a few steps back because he didn't believe what Murong Xi said. Murong Xi must be scaring himself, what she said was not true.
Seeing that the patriarch didn't speak, Murong Xi knew that he didn't believe in her, so he went on to say: "Chief, I know you don't trust me, but the fact is that it is true. If you don't believe it, you can look at yourself now. Besides,
, I have warned you before, but if you don’t stop my advice and insist on solving the poison yourself, there is nothing I can do to stop you.”
The patriarch looked at Murong Xi with a strong murderous intent in his eyes, because he knew that Murong Xi had not spoken to him. Looking back on the problems of the past few days, he knew that he was probably caused by stopping Murong Xi's medicine.
He must have suffered backlash. Murong Xi is indeed an extremely smart woman, and she actually used this method to fool him. With his own temperament, he would definitely not believe her, so he chose to cure the poison by himself. And among the medicinal materials for his own cure
It should be incompatible with the ingredients of the pill, so he suffered backlash.
He really wanted to kill Murong Xi, but it was obviously impossible. He didn't even have the strength to crush the ants, so how could he kill Murong Xi?
But what should he do now? Should he beg for mercy? Of course he doesn't want to beg for mercy from Murong Xi, but he really wants to go back and doesn't want to stay in this place.
The clan leader was so angry that a mouthful of black blood spurted out from his mouth. In the black blood, there were still Gu insects writhing on the ground.
The patriarch knew that if he wanted to live, he had to lower his head. He wiped the corners of his mouth and said to Murong Xi: "Holy girl, I know that I am wrong. In fact, I have no choice but to do this. I know what to say now.
You won’t believe it, but now I believe that only by taking you to see it, will you know that what I said is true.”
The saint looked at Ji Limo, and Ji Limo asked: "Who are you?"
Ji Limo wanted to know if the identity of the patriarch was that Taoist priest back then. What happened was too coincidental, but there were a lot of things that didn't make sense. He didn't believe that the patriarch was the Taoist priest, but there were many things that designated him as the Taoist priest.
Long. But I didn’t know how to ask, so I had to ask him who he was.
"Master Wu Zun, I am the patriarch of the Saintess Clan. You..." The patriarch was stunned for a moment before replying.
"Patriarch, I believe you should know what we mean, and I hope you can answer truthfully. I believe you want to live very much, and also want to share things about the ancient tomb with us. So, you'd better think about it before talking." Ji Li
Mo said coldly.
The patriarch did not expect Ji Limo to be so direct, but where should he start? If he started from the beginning, would the witch master and the saint believe his words?
Murong Xi thought for a moment and said, "I want to ask you something about Dongmo Country. Can you answer it truthfully?"
The clan leader understood the meaning of Murong Xi's words. It seemed that they had guessed something, and they had nothing to hide. Moreover, since they asked this, they would believe what he said, right? Thinking back,
The Fengtian Sect is different, so they should believe what they say.
"Holy Girl, I understand what you mean. In fact, I know a little bit about what happened in Dongmo Country back then, but I am a little unclear about what happened later. In fact, I am indeed the clan leader now, but,
It’s not really, how can I put it? Back then..." The patriarch recalled what happened that year.
It turned out that after the fifth prince stabbed the third prince, he was imprisoned in the sky prison. His Majesty was furious, because he hated fratricide the most in his life. However, he did not expect that all this would happen to his own child. So,
Then he cruelly issued an imperial edict and ordered the fifth prince to die.
After the fifth prince's mother-in-law heard the news, she asked someone to deliver the news. People must not be released, so she asked someone to go in and give the fifth prince a bottle of fake death medicine. After the fifth prince took the fake death medicine,
Sure enough, she deceived everyone. Of course, the imperial concubine knew that the fifth prince had violated Nilin and there was no way he would be buried in the imperial mausoleum. So, she begged your majesty to bury the fifth prince in a place far away from the capital. No matter what, the fifth prince would not be buried in the imperial mausoleum.
His son, seeing the imperial concubine's eyes red and swollen from crying, had no choice but to agree to the imperial concubine's request.
Then, the fifth prince's tomb was built in Suoshan. At this time, the fifth prince had long since woken up and was hidden in a nearby village.
There was no fifth prince in the ancient tomb at all, it was just an empty tomb. Because the Taoist priest chose the ancient tomb, and the Taoist priest discovered the secret of Suoshan, so he planned to use the ancient tomb as a cover. And the fifth prince happened to have this need, too.
Changbian and the Prime Minister hit it off immediately.
The prime minister was not that stupid and hid some gold and silver jewelry in the ancient tomb, but the fifth prince was very curious about the ancient tomb and often went to the ancient tomb.
Because the fifth prince was familiar with the map of the ancient tomb, he quickly went to the place where the Taoist priest would not let him enter. In fact, he looked down on the Taoist priest, so why should he order a prince?
In fact, the Taoist priest had already secretly poisoned and poisoned the fifth prince, because he wanted to control the fifth prince. He had made preparations early. If the Dongmo Kingdom was in chaos, he would rule the world in the future.
But the fifth prince took advantage of the absence of the Taoist priest and went down to the lowest level. It was on that level that he caused a big disaster.
After going down, he opened something that he shouldn't have opened and was hit by something. He was already possessed by evil spirits and couldn't bear the hit. So, he passed out and when he wanted to come back, he became...
He became another person. When he wanted to come, he found his body and was so frightened that he screamed immediately.
It wasn't until half an hour passed that he calmed down. Many things went through his head, and then he calmly disposed of his body. Fortunately, this is an ancient tomb, and there are coffins everywhere.
Soon, the poison in the fifth prince began to act, and the Taoist Master planned to control him, but he was not the fifth prince at the beginning, so how could he be controlled by him. In the end, he died of the poison.
When he woke up again, he was about five years old, but at that time, he didn't know anything. Even if the Taoist priest found him, he didn't think of anything. In fact, the Taoist priest was not responsible for the incident in the ancient tomb at the beginning.
He told him that he would dream about the ancient tomb every night, but the person in the dream was very vague and he really couldn't remember it. After listening to the Taoist priest, he knew that all this was not a coincidence. But after hearing Xun'er's words
After that, he knew that the Taoist priest had not lied to him.
When the Taoist leader took him in, he discovered that he had really been here before. When he remembered all the things, he planned to kill the Taoist priest. So, he later led the Taoist priest behind the ancient tomb.
, made a move on him.
Later he learned that the Taoist priest had allowed him to be reborn twice for his own selfish desires.
"That's probably what happened. I've said everything I can. What I said is all the truth. I know it's a bit unbelievable, but I really didn't lie." The clan elder said honestly.
Ji Limo glanced at Murong Xi and believed that they had understood the meaning of the patriarch's words. The identity of the patriarch was actually the same as theirs.
However, does he really not know what happened in Dongmo Country later?
"What I want to ask you is what happened to Dongmo Kingdom later. I think you should understand. It's impossible for you not to know, right?" Murong Xi looked at the clan leader and asked.
