18 Mirror 1
There is a tomb of a female immortal under the Tianque Peak. Yu Shiqi had heard about it a long time ago. However, the statement he heard was not about a female immortal, but the legendary "goddess" who was a descendant of the Queen Mother of the West and the ancestor of the Spiritual Tribe.
's mausoleum.
It was hard for Yu Qi to imagine that such a famous mausoleum would have no guards and that Feng Huanjing's adoptive father could so easily bring out artifacts for sale. Logically speaking, such a mausoleum should have been abandoned for profit.
Tomb robbers come again and again.
It wasn't until he followed the girl to the entrance of the mausoleum cave south of Tianque Peak and saw the piles of bones on the ground that he realized that the matter might not be as simple as he had imagined.
Not only were the bones of dead people piled up on the ground, there were also vaguely identifiable broken utensils, including weapons and utensils used for digging.
Obviously, it is not that no tomb robbers have tried to find the goddess's tomb, but they all seemed to have been killed.
Of course, Yu Shiqi would not take it for granted that these people were killed in front of the entrance. I am afraid that they gathered and dumped their bodies here after being killed. It is estimated that the people who did this were the guards of this mausoleum, in order to warn those with ulterior motives.
person.
"Miss Feng."
"Brother, just call me Jing'er." Feng Huanjing, who was walking in front, turned back and smiled at him, like the first bloom of spring flowers.
"Ah... okay." Yu Shiqi scratched his hair and looked away to hide his embarrassment, "Did your father tell you how he was able to get the things out of the mausoleum safely in the first place?"
"Just ask the tombkeeper sincerely."
"Gravekeeper?"
"Follow me." She stretched out her hand to Yu Qi.
Yu Shiqi hesitated for a moment, then took Feng Huanjing's hand and followed her into the cave.
The cave was originally dark, but the silver mirror in Feng Huanjing's hand magically began to glow after entering the cave, lighting up the way forward for the two of them.
The road wound down and continued. Yu Shiqi followed Feng Huanjing for who knows how long, and finally stopped in front of a green stone gate.
In front of the stone door were paved with smooth jade bricks, and a cloaked figure sat quietly in front of it with his head bowed, leaning on a long sword in his arms.
Yu Shiqi thought to himself, this is the tombkeeper in front of the goddess's mausoleum. There is no doubt that he must be the spirit race.
"Who is coming...?" the tombkeeper asked in a low and dignified voice.
Feng Huanjing let go of Yu Shiqi's hand and stepped forward to kneel down and salute: "Sister Yinxue, it's me."
"Small mirror..." The tombkeeper's tone became more relaxed, but when she saw Yu Shiqi behind Feng Huanjing, her eyes became wary again: "Who is that young man?"
"I'm down here with Yu Shiqi, a traveler passing by."
"Travelers...hehe, I don't know how many people I have killed who claimed to be travelers but coveted the tomb of the goddess." Yinxue slowly stood up with the sword in hand, and the hood of the cloak above his head fell down, revealing a snowy head similar to Feng Huanjing.
White hair.
"Sister Yinxue, brother is not a bad person." Feng Huanjing explained anxiously, "Brother helped me bury my father and aunt. I asked him to accompany me to fulfill my father's wish to return the treasure to the female fairy.
"
"Really? Your father and aunt...what happened?"
Before Feng Huanjing had time to answer, Yinxue suddenly shrank and knelt on the ground. He barely supported himself with his sword and vomited several mouthfuls of blood.
"Sister Yinxue!" Feng Huanjing didn't expect this turn of events, and she exclaimed with her face turned pale.
"Senior, you...actually must have been seriously injured a long time ago." Yu Shiqi had just noticed something was wrong with her aura, but he didn't dare to say anything.
"Hmph, if you think I can't kill you now..."
"Young men don't dare." Yu Shiqi took out the bottle of Yuzhenhuashang Pills from his luggage and asked Feng Huanjing to give it to Yinxue.
Yinxue took the medicine and looked at it, but shook her head: "My injury was caused by poisoning. This medicine... is useless."
"How could my sister be poisoned?"
"The greedy thief who can't be killed..." Yinxue gritted her teeth, but she could only lean against the stone door and pant. After a long time, she turned to Feng Huijing and said, "Little mirror, go back, the silver mirror is given to you."
"How can that be done? This is the lady fairy's thing. My father..."
"There are bad people inside now." Yinxue shook her head weakly, "Even if you give it back to the female fairy, it will be snatched away. Those people are greedy for profit, and they will definitely be malicious when they see you... Go back quickly."
Yu Shiqi thought that Yin Xue, who was guarding the tomb here, might have been accidentally plotted by the other party, but she seemed to be planning to stay here and seal the stone gate. If there was no other exit, the people inside would not be able to escape even if they robbed more treasures.
Can't take it away.
"Boy." Yinxue suddenly called him and motioned for him to come forward.
Yu Shiqi lowered his head and respectfully walked to her side and squatted down, listening attentively: "Please give me your instructions."
"If you are a good person, take her away and don't come back."
"Then what should you do, senior?"
"I was already a guilty person." Yinxue said in a low voice, "The goddess took pity on me, pardoned my death penalty, and punished me to guard the tomb. But I failed to guard the tomb well, so... I deserved to die."
The goddess in her mouth should be the current leader of the Spiritual Clan, Yu Shiqi thought secretly.
"Sister, please don't die!" Feng Huanjing begged sadly, "Although my father is no longer here, I will come to pay homage to the female fairy every year, and I will also visit you every year."
Yin Xue's lips as thin as razor blades curled up slightly, and she slowly closed her eyes.
Feng Huanjing was stunned for a moment, hugging her and sobbing.
Yu Shiqi stretched out his hand to test Yin Xue's breath, his expression softened, and he said to Feng Huanjing: "She is still alive. Don't be too anxious to be sad. Maybe she can be saved."
"Really...really? Brother, what can you do?" When Feng Huanjing heard this, he was like a drowning man grabbing a piece of driftwood.
"I want to take a gamble." Yu Shiqi said.
"A gamble?"
"The people who poisoned her should still be inside at this time." Yu Shiqi analyzed calmly, "I plan to go in quietly and catch them. Maybe I can get the antidote."
"But won't this be dangerous?"
"Yes, those people who came here for the treasure are all desperadoes." Yu Shiqi pressed Feng Huanjing's shoulder, "So don't follow me, just stay here so you can take care of her."
"What's going on..."
"Take this," Yu Shiqi took out a small hourglass from his luggage, which he bought from Hu Shang from Fengxueyi. "If all the sand on it leaks out and I haven't come back, you can
Take her away first and go home to wait for Senior Teng."
"What do you mean by not coming back? Brother, please explain clearly." Feng Huanjing held his sleeve tightly and refused to let go.
Yu Shiqi pretended to smile lightly: "I didn't come back just because I might have run into some trouble and would have to wait a little longer before I could come back."
"Then I'll wait here until you come back."
"Are you stupid?" Yu Shiqi was helpless.
Feng Huanjing pouted angrily and turned his back to him.
Yu Shiqi unpacked his painting box and luggage and left them here, carrying only two items that were of great significance to him - Tongfengmen's "Nine Thousand Miles" copper section pillar pendant and the Yunzhong Sword.
of seal.
Later, he found the mechanism that opened the stone door, and told Feng Huanjing to reset the mechanism after he entered.
"Remember, never open the door to others." He said, "If the sand leaks out and I don't come back, you can take Miss Yinxue to seek medical treatment elsewhere. Or... if you are lucky enough to meet a man named Xiling
The girl in Yue may be saved."
Feng Huanjing pursed his lips and handed him the luminous silver mirror: "Take it with you. I hope the female fairy will protect my brother."
Yu Shiqi smiled and accepted it.
"If I'm lucky, maybe I can not only find the antidote for Miss Yinxue, but also help you put the mirror back." He seemed to be comforting Feng Huanjing, but also seemed to be saying to himself: "My luck has always been
Everything...seems pretty good."
He didn't dare to ask for blessings from female fairies, but this silver mirror could shine in the cave, which would help him.
Yu Shiqi wrapped the silver mirror with a dark square scarf, leaving only a small gap, and could completely cover it at any time to ensure that he could hide his body better, then said goodbye to Feng Huanjing and passed through the stone door.
