Queen of Nongmen: Hexagrams determine the universe

Chapter 419 The Story in the Story
Ye Qiongdan listened to his story quietly, without too much disturbance on his face. Looking at a person's face and palmistry, one can tell many things that happened to that person in the past. Ye Qiongdan has long been mentally prepared for these things.

After listening, Ye Qiongdan said with some distress: "You have suffered a lot, I only hope that when I meet you, it is when you are proud of your youth, then I will definitely protect you and prevent you from suffering the hardships of the world. suffering."

"If I accept all this just to meet you, then no matter how hard it is, it will be worth it." Ye Qinghan stared sideways at her, the coldness in his eyes melted only for her alone.

Ye Qiongdan smiled slightly and leaned on his shoulder.

"In the future, you don't have to think too much, I will do my best to arrange it," Ye Qinghan took a deep breath, and said firmly, "I won't let you be afraid."

"Co-author is in your heart, am I the dodder flower?" Ye Qiongdan laughed, "I am obviously capable of fighting side by side with you."

"But I don't want you to take risks." Ye Qinghan shook his head, a look of pity flashed in his eyes, "You are the best person, and you deserve the best."

He couldn't tell when he started to fall in love with her, and since then she has become the sun and moon in his heart, illuminating his life.

"The best is you." She leaned over and rubbed his nose with a very intimate gesture.

He hugged her carefully, stroking her smooth hair gently, as if touching a fragile crystal treasure.

"By the way, why are you in this tunnel?" Ye Qiongdan asked curiously.

"I don't know how to get off the way I came from, the lake shore over there always disorients me, so I wonder, is there another exit here? In the process of looking for an exit, I entered When I entered the temple, I encountered some mechanism and fell into the tunnel, because it was dark here, so I don't know how long I was trapped here. What about you?" Ye Qinghan asked worriedly.

"I accidentally fell into the altar, and then, after touching the sword on the statue, I fell into the tunnel. Since the two of us fell from different places, it means that there must be other exits here. "Ye Qiongdan said firmly, "Come on, let's find the exit!"

Ye Qinghan nodded, took her hand, and continued to walk forward.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the two found an upward step in the tunnel. After walking up the step for a while, the two raised their hands and touched a solid iron plate.

If you want to come, you can reach the ground as long as you lift the iron plate.

Just as Ye Qiongdan was looking for the gate to open the iron plate with the fire folder, she suddenly heard the sound of footsteps from far to near.

"Hush..." Ye Qiongdan put her finger on her lips, signaling Ye Qinghan not to speak.

Ye Qinghan nodded and listened intently to the movement around him.

After a while, someone came to the place near their heads and started to make fire, set up tents, and deal with prey...

A woman kicked the other two a few times and said, "Be honest, you better not lie, otherwise, but the consequences are not something you can afford."

"We have all been escorted by you all the way, can we not understand in our hearts?" A young man said, "Without us, do you think you can find the way to enter here so easily? I'm afraid it's just near the lake. It was eaten by the crocodile!"

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

Two crisp slaps sounded, and the young man gasped.

Someone snorted coldly and said, "Why did you talk to the master? Don't you want to live?"

"It's better if she beats me to death! If she kills me, then the dog emperor will not be able to prolong his life!" The young man said in a firm voice.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

……

What responded to him was another slap in the face, which made the young man gasp, but he refused to beg for mercy.

"Okay, stop beating, it's not good if you beat someone to death," the woman said arrogantly, "Wang Chenggong, will you be obedient? As long as you can lead us to find the treasure medicine that prolongs life, The emperor will definitely reward you a lot and give you an official title, don't be like him who doesn't know what's good and what's wrong!"

"Xiaoqiu really doesn't know good from bad," Wang Chenggong said with a sigh, "It's also because we shouldn't talk nonsense outside, this is our retribution..."

"How can it be said to be nonsense?" The woman laughed, "You are living in poverty outside, and you talk about your ancestors who escaped from that small country that has perished. The blueprint for the construction of the imperial tomb back then, as long as you can find the imperial tomb, you can bring out the gold and silver treasures in the imperial tomb, and live a life of luxury and food from now on. You are right, what country are you from? The descendants of that country, the emperors of that country should protect you and let you live a good life without worrying about food and clothing, after all, your ancestors were once their people."

Wang Chenggong stopped talking.

"Precious medicine? Do you really think it is a good thing? It caused the country to perish in such a short period of time, it is an ominous thing!" Xiao Qiu sneered, "It will not be good for those who get it. It's the end!"

"Snapped!"

His response was another slap.

"You don't want me to say it, so I just want to say it, and I want to say it over and over again," Xiaoqiu spat and said defiantly, "I heard from my great-grandfather that back then, that After a man came to the throne, he asked everyone in the country to raise a mouse. When the country died, everyone believed that the mouse brought the death. In fact, is it true? No, it was the man who brought the death. Here comes death!"

Ye Qiongdan became more and more confused the more he listened, so he frowned and pressed his ears against the cold iron plate to listen more carefully.

"After that person killed his own father and younger brother, he became the emperor of this country and ruled the sky in this small isolated country. He suffered a lot in the outside world when he was a child, and he became a master After that, he couldn't bear to say goodbye to such a good day. So, he asked the saint who was reincarnated from the god, how to live forever? The saint said that he should hold a large sacrificial ceremony and beg for a magic medicine from the sky. During the sacrifice , God sent down a divine revelation, saying that only by sacrificing the common people of the whole country can one obtain a magic medicine of immortality."

"He chose to let the saint do it, sacrificed the souls of all the people in the country with secret techniques, and finally got an elixir of life, but because the medicine was too powerful, he fell into a deep sleep after taking the elixir of life I don't know when I will wake up. According to legend, as long as you can dig out his heart and eat it, you can prolong your life. Because the effect of the elixir of life spread in his blood, so only eating him heart, it cannot achieve the effect of immortality, but it is not a problem if you want to prolong your life."

"The elixir of life brought misfortune. It is an ominous thing. Aren't you afraid that after your emperor eats his heart, it will also bring misfortune to the entire Dragon Dynasty? country!" Xiao Qiu sneered again and again.

"You fools don't need to care about that!" the woman said contemptuously.

After listening to this conversation, Ye Qiongdan sat down on the steps, looked at Ye Qinghan, and whispered in his ear: "Do you believe Xiaoqiu's words?"

"Sounds like a fairy tale." Ye Qinghan frowned.

"I also think it's like a fairy tale. This story doesn't sound credible from any angle." Ye Qiongdan shook his head, "I've never heard that the lives of all the people in the entire country can be used How can you allow such a wicked thing to happen in exchange for the elixir of life?

"what are you planning to do?"

"Let's follow up and take a look," Ye Qiongdan said after deliberation, "When you told me about your life experience, didn't you say that your father left a decree long ago to pass on the throne to you? Even, He also hid the real jade seal in the secret room of the palace where you used to live. If you want to go back to the palace and ascend the throne in the future, if you have those things, you will be the righteous emperor of the Dragon Dynasty. The current emperor is just a traitor who seeks to usurp the throne. It’s just a long way to go to regain the throne. We need a lot of money now. If we can find the imperial tomb of this small country and enter the tomb of the imperial tomb, I think it will be solved. Our urgent need.”

"You're right," Ye Qinghan nodded, "Wang Chenggong and Xiaoqiu actually have the blueprint of the imperial mausoleum, and they know how to enter here, and they must also know how to leave here. As long as the two of them are safe and sound, we will leave." Hopeful."

"I heard the sound of setting up tents before. It should be getting dark outside. In the dead of night tonight, let's go up quietly, and then hide not far from them and follow them slowly." Ye Qiongdan suggested.

Ye Qinghan naturally agreed.

Ever since, the outside became quiet again, only Xiao Qiu could be heard cursing from time to time, the woman seemed very upset, making Xiao Qiu's mouth gagged.

Ye Qiongdan, who was still in the tunnel, held up the torch and searched for a while on the top of his head. Sure enough, he found a mechanism. Presumably, as long as he pressed the mechanism, he could lift the iron plate on his head.

She waited patiently in the dark, slowly counting the time. After two hours passed, she pressed the mechanism, and the iron plate turned upwards, lifting off the layer of soil on it.

Because the soil was too thick, it covered up the sound of the iron plate flipping, and it sounded like some beast was digging the soil.

The two quietly came up from the tunnel, and then put the iron plate down again.

Not far away, dozens of people were standing guard drowsily, looking precarious.

Wang Chenggong and Xiaoqiu were tied up and thrown into a tent, with several quilts draped over their bodies indiscriminately.

Wang Chenggong has fallen asleep, Xiaoqiu is still awake, but his mouth is gagged, and his eyes are red with anger.

Ye Qiongdan and Ye Qinghan found a safer place, sprinkled insect repellent powder on them, and then fell asleep cuddling each other.

In the early morning of the next day, at dawn, everyone in the tent not far away got up. After a rest, they untied the ropes on Wang Chenggong and Xiaoqiu, and pushed them forward.

Ye Qiongdan and Ye Qinghan followed far behind, keeping a distance from them that they would not notice.

There are about three to four hundred people in this team, including ordinary people, soldiers, and fighters... They also brought in a lot of things, and walked forward slowly with their backs on their backs.

The left side is the location of the imperial palace, but they obviously have no interest in the things in the imperial palace. They focused their trip on the imperial mausoleum, hoping to find a life-prolonging medicine for the current emperor of the Dragon Dynasty. .

The purpose of Ye Qiongdan and Ye Qinghan, one is to leave this place, and the other is for the rich funeral objects in the imperial tomb, so they did not divert to the palace.

Along the way, Xiao Qiu was still yelling and scolding endlessly, and got beaten several times.

But Wang Chenggong was extremely silent. If others did not take the initiative to ask him, he would basically not be able to speak.

After traveling for two days and two nights, the team finally reached the foot of a majestic mountain.
