Chapter 433 The Loss of Spiritual Power
After entering the tunnel, the night pearls in the hands of Ying Che and Ji Yu quickly illuminated the passage, and there were countless stone steps in front of them, winding and winding to nowhere.

Ying Che and Ji Yu walked forward along the stone steps, neither of them spoke, the only sound of their footsteps and the rustling of cloth rubbing could be heard in the long corridor.

"After meeting with the Holy Maiden, what will Elder Ying plan to say?" After walking for a while, Ji Yu took a look at Ying Che, and spoke lightly, his elegant face became colder and colder under the light of the night pearl.

Ying Che glanced at her, his eyes were dark, unable to see what was in his heart, he just said meaningfully, "What does Elder Ji think?"

Ji Yu pulled the corners of his lips and smiled coldly, "It's not that Elder Ying doesn't know, I've never been able to speak. Let Elder Ying handle today's matter."

She has always been transparent, so how could she not understand Yingche's real purpose for calling her here today?
Although Yingche didn't like Yao Fusang, he listened to what he said during the day, so he felt suspicious of himself at this moment, and asked him to come here, but he just wanted to see how he behaved in front of the saint. .

A hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes, and he quickly lowered his eyes and said no more.

Ying Che took a fixed look at her, and chuckled with ambiguous meaning, "Elder Ji is too modest, because of this, the saint may trust you more."

Ji Yu met his scrutinizing gaze without dodging, with a cold voice, "Since Elder Ying thinks so, then I will do my best."

"Okay." Ying Che nodded in agreement, and didn't say anything more.

After walking for a while, the stairs gradually showed an upward trend, one step after another, as if the end could not be seen in the dark, and the corridor became narrow, only allowing one person to pass through.

Ji Yu stepped aside and invited Ying Che to come forward, with her in the rear.

I don't know where the corridor leads to, but there is a fine wind flowing through the cave, so I don't feel stuffy.Occasionally brushing the hem of her clothes made a rustling sound.

Ji Yu looked cold, staring at Ying Che's broad back in front of him, his eyes were filled with fog.

After walking for a while, the terrain became flat. Ji Yu followed Yingche and turned to the right, his eyes suddenly opened up. There was a faint moonlight shining down, and the soft light illuminated the situation in front of him.

The two took a step.

What appeared in front of them was a large cave. The entrance of the cave was surrounded by iron fences, and a silver lock was hung on the railings.

Looking in through the iron fence, I saw green vines growing on the walls of the cave, and a plain crocodile gauze hanging from the ceiling of the cave, covering the vines.The floor of the cave is covered with smooth white jade floor tiles, in the middle there is a small table made of sandalwood, and a couch made of purple bamboo. In one corner of the small table there is a plain beauty porcelain vase. Inside the vase is an unknown white flower bud, faintly shining in the moonlight. bloom.

The direction Xiaoji faced was the entrance of the cave on the other side, which was wide and surrounded by the same fence.Outside the fence is the cliff of Futu Mountain. The bright moonlight shines into the cave through the fence, drawing a warm halo on the white jade floor.If you listen carefully, you can still hear the sound of the waves crashing against the shore at the bottom of the cliff.

Yingche took out a silver key from his sleeve pocket, inserted it into the key on the iron fence, held the key with his fingers and turned it, and a faint golden light shone from his fingertips.Soon, only a "click" was heard, and the lock opened.He opened the iron gate and entered the cave together with Ji Yu.

As soon as he stepped on the floor paved with white jade, he heard a small bell ringing in his ears.

Looking down, he saw a thin silk thread stretched a finger away from the ground, and a row of silver bells hung on the silk thread.They didn't check for a while, and they tripped over the bell, which caused the ringing of the bell just now.

Yingche frowned, and turned to look to the side of the cave.There are two doors on the wall on the left side of the cave. I don't know what is behind the door.

Sure enough, the bell rang, and the inner door was pulled open, and a woman in black clothes in her 30s walked out from it.With beautiful eyebrows and phoenix eyes, although his appearance is not very beautiful, he has a sassy posture, and his eyes are full of spirit.

The woman in Xuanyi walked out of the room, stood still in the cave, swept her cold eyes over Ying Che and Ji Yu's faces, and said in a cold voice, "I don't know what wind brought Elder Ying and Elder Ji here?"

Hearing the coldness in her tone, Ying Che frowned, looked at her and said, "Jiang Chongjin, let's find the saint."

It turned out that this woman in Xuanyi was none other than Tai Bu Ling Chongjin who had mysteriously disappeared in Yu Country back then!

Hearing Ying Che's words, Chong Jin stared at her with a dull expression, "It's late at night, the saint has already fallen asleep, please come back tomorrow, the two elders."

Seeing that she didn't take herself seriously, a stern look flashed across Yingche's eyes, and he glanced at the frost in Chongjin's eyes, and said patiently, "We have something important to ask the saint, you go and report it."

Chongjin still insisted, "Sorry, the saint has already fallen asleep, please come back tomorrow, the two elders."

Ying Che clenched his fist, and the anger in his heart surged upwards.It's just nightfall, how can anyone go to bed so quickly?It was clearly an excuse for Chongjin not wanting to report.

Just when he was about to get angry, Ji Yu who was at the side said coolly, "A few foreigners came to the island recently, and one of them is the owner of Cangxie Sword."

After Ji Yu said this, she didn't speak anymore, she just stood Qingling in front of Chong Jin, her face seemed to be covered with a thin layer of frost, her expression was elusive.

Ying Che's heart moved, and he suppressed his dissatisfaction, staring at Chong Jin with hawk-like eyes.

Ji Yu's words were quite skillful.

If Song Qinghuan is really the saint's daughter, then, after Jiyu said this, Chong Jin might already know who is coming, and he will definitely report to the saint.

Even if Song Qinghuan has nothing to do with the saint, the legend of the Cangxie sword is known to everyone in the Fulan tribe, and Chongjin must also know the agreement made between the ancestors and the god of war Linyuan.When the master of Cangxie Sword went to the island, he would definitely want to see the saintess. Even though the saintess is no longer a name, the rules are the rules, and they must be followed.

Sure enough, upon hearing Ji Yu's words, Ying Che saw Chong Jin's brows twitch. After a while, she said in a cold voice, "In that case, please wait here for a while, the two elders, and I will inform the saint."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked to another door, opened it and walked in.

After waiting for a while, the door was pulled open again, Chongjin walked out first, behind her, followed by a woman in white, with snow skin and jade skin, a purple bamboo hairpin curled up her head of blue hair, and a pair of clear and transparent almond eyes , The spirit is so clear that it seems to be able to read people's hearts.The temperament is even more cold and dusty, like a mountain snow lotus, like a fairy in a painting.

This person is the former Mrs. Qingxuan of Yu Kingdom, Song Qinghuan's mother and concubine, and now the saintess of the Fulan clan, Yuli.

Yuli walked up to Yingche and Jiyu and stopped in front of Yingche and Yuyu, her eyes swept across their faces, her expression was calm, she said calmly, "The two elders came to see me so late, I don't know what to do thing?"

Under the moonlight, her skin showed an almost transparent color, as if she was about to transform into a fairy at any time.

Yingche cupped his hands towards Yuli, and said in a deep voice, "Saint."

Yuli raised her eyes and glanced at him, "My identity as a saint has long since existed in name only, Elder Ying can just speak up if he has anything to say."

Hearing the faint sarcasm in her words, Ying Che's face darkened, but his tone was still polite, "Although the saint violated the family rules, she was not deprived of her status as a saint. This is the rule set by the ancestors. Ying Che I dare not do it again."

The term of the Holy Maiden has always been 18 years, and the snow lotus in the holy pool blooms every 18 years. In the history of the Fulan Nation, there has never been a situation where the Holy Maiden was abolished. Naturally, Ying Che and the others do not want to break it with them. rule.Therefore, even if Yuli violated the family rules, the elders could only put her under house arrest instead of taking her life, because Yuli would still need to attend the saintess reelection ceremony next month.

Yanli glanced at him, flicked her sleeves, turned around and walked to the red sandalwood table to sit down, her long eyelashes drooping, and said lightly, "Yuli, go and make a pot of tea for Elder Ying and Elder Yan."

Then, looking at Ying Che and Ji Yu, "Two elders, sit down."

Ying Che pursed his lips, his brows were deeply furrowed, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.Ji Yu nodded lightly, and sat down opposite Song Qinghuan according to her words.Seeing that she had already sat down, Ying Che reluctantly sat down too.

Chongjin quickly made tea and brought it over.

Yuli took it, poured two cups of tea with her own hands, and handed the bisque teacups to the two of them. Her white jade-like fingers glowed with luster. The two elders tasted the rainwater from the day before yesterday."

Although she was imprisoned in the cave here, she was a saint after all, and the elders did not treat her harshly in terms of food and clothing, but only restricted her freedom of movement.

Ji Yu accepted it graciously, brought it to his lips, took a sip, and nodded towards Yuli.

Ying Che also took the teacup, but didn't drink it, and said straight to the point, "I believe Jiang Chongjin told the saint just now that a few days ago, a few foreigners came to the island."

Yuli nodded, her eyes lighted slightly, "Yes, Chongjin said that he is the master of Ren Cangxie Sword?"

Yingche nodded, his scrutinizing eyes fell on Yuli's face.

Yuli's expression was still indifferent and indifferent, and she paused every word, with a faint elegance at the end, "Cangxie sword has been missing for a long time, I never thought it would appear at this time."

There was a slight pause in the voice, the tails of the eyes flicked, and they looked at Ying Che and Ji Yu calmly, "The two elders, are you here for the master of Cang Xie Sword?"

Ying Che nodded again.

Yuli chuckled, met his scrutinizing gaze without avoiding it, narrowed her pupils slightly, and slowly opened her mouth, as if she was gossiping, "Elder Ying, you also know that I have lost all my spiritual power now. , What's the use of you coming to me?"

Ying Che's eyes were slightly cold, but he didn't seem surprised, he just said, "That girl insists on seeing you."

Yuli stared at him for a moment, then raised her eyebrows, "Oh, it's a girl?"

Seeing her normal expression, Ying Che frowned almost invisibly, wondering if the calmness on Yanli's face was faking, or if she really didn't know who was here.

Before Yingche could speak, Yuli continued, "It seems that the girl doesn't know about my loss of spiritual power." Lightly said, "Then, what does Elder Ying want me to do?"

"That girl is Song Qinghuan, the former Wuyang Emperor of the Yu Kingdom. She came with her, and her husband, the current Emperor Han of the Zhao Kingdom, Jun Shu." Yingche said, staring at Yuli with a deep and deep look. There is a deep look in the pupil.

After hearing this, Yu Li raised her eyebrows with great interest, "Emperor Zhao Guo Han, so what they want is the world?"

"Emperor Wuyang refused to tell, and insisted on seeing you first." Seeing that there was no sign of any strange expression on her face, Yingche became even more suspicious.

"Then... how did Elder Ying plan?" Yu Li kept smiling softly like a spring breeze, but her eyes were misty, and she couldn't see what was going on in her heart.It seemed that neither Song Qinghuan nor Junshu had anything to do with her. The only thing she cared about was Yingche's purpose for coming here.

Yingche frowned, feeling unwilling after all, after thinking about it, he tentatively opened his mouth, "Did the saint ever go to Yu Country when she was on Yunqing Continent?"

Hearing this topic, the smile on Yu Li's face faded.

Seeing the strange expression on her face, Yingche couldn't help being overjoyed, thinking that he had finally caught Yanli's trick, but she heard Yanli say coldly, "When I was in Yunqing Continent, I visited all four countries." Sneered, "Elder Ying doesn't like me mentioning the past?"

Being choked by her, Ying Che showed embarrassment.

At the beginning, they found Yuli on the border between Zhao Country and Yu Country, but they didn't know where she had been or what she had experienced in those few years, and Yuli kept silent about it.After returning to Yuheng Island, the elders saw that they could not get the information they wanted from her, so in order to prevent other clansmen from being bewitched by her, they ordered her not to talk about the past.

Because of Yanli's non-cooperation, Yingche was also a little annoyed, and was about to ask her directly if she had anything to do with Song Qinghuan, but Yanyu jumped ahead of him and said, "Saint, it's inconvenient for us to tell outsiders about the affairs of the clan." Clansman. I don’t know...can the saint cooperate with us to dispel Empress Wuyang’s concerns?"
