After Marrying the Shadow Queen - Chapter 58

After informing them of Chu Jinyan, Sheng Qingru and Ji Yuchuan set off for Xihuang Village in an unknown place. As for the rumors on the Internet, they have long been left behind. By now, faith is not the most important thing. The car was bumpy on the rugged mountain road, and the farther it went, the more desolate it was. There were no traces of people, which almost made Ji Yuchuan doubt its authenticity.

In terms of navigation, there is no road ahead, but when the car reaches that point, the surrounding scenery has changed greatly. A narrow road stretches to a depth where the end is invisible. A small road that only accommodates two people can’t accommodate the forward movement of a car. “This is probably a small village sealed in the gap between the human world and the demon world. As the boundaries between the various worlds are broken, they also wake up from it.” Sheng Qingru murmured and responded.

After walking for some distance, I finally entered the village. The undulating low hills are covered with farmland. The low thatched huts are like chess pieces falling on the square board. Among the vertical and horizontal terraces are men carrying hoes. , They are dressed in ancient costumes, and I don’t know how many years they have survived in this isolated place. The place that seemed like a peach blossom field surprised Ji Yuchuan, and there was also an inexplicable and indescribable emotion. When she came in, she felt a different breath, looked at each other with Sheng Qingru, and found the same confusion on her face.

The people in the village didn’t seem to see their existence, and they passed them without saying a word until a woman in white clothes came out with an unfamiliar face. Ji Yuchuan was sure that she was sending a message to herself. people. “Queen of the West?” She raised her eyebrows and asked symbolically. After seeing the person nodding, she smiled faintly, “I’m here, where is Jin Lingzhu?” If it weren’t for Lingzhu, where would she need to come to this place? ? When I saw the Lord, I naturally said my purpose.

“I am from the Western Queen, and my name is Bai Jian.” The woman introduced herself. After a moment of silence, she said again, “Please follow me.”

Still didn’t mention Jin Lingzhu? Could it be fake? Ji Yuchuan glanced at Sheng Qingru and held her finger. Sheng Qingru didn’t speak, she looked at the woman in front of her, and felt a touch of demon power from her body, and the soul had already awakened when she wanted to come. On Weibo, she should have not lied, Jin Lingzhu is in this small village isolated from the world.

An old locust tree was planted in the small yard, and a group of chickens and ducks walked comfortably under the tree. This woman who claimed to be Bai Jian lived at the end of the village, where she was almost alone in her house.

“You should have guessed it when you came. This is a sealed village, and the state of isolation is not very good.” Bai Jian shook his head, a bitter smile on his face. “I know that you demon is looking for the Golden Spirit Orb, and it was placed in the Shaohao Pond in the back mountain of the village. Before you, other people have entered this village. I thought about it, but decided to inform him of its existence. you.”

“Why was Xihuangcun sealed?” Ji Yuchuan asked curiously.

“Moreover, there is a wood spirit formation in this village. It stands to reason that you are the holder of the gold spirit orb. How can you be sealed by the wood spirit formation?” Before Bai Jian could answer, Sheng Qingru accepted Ji Yuchuan’s words. She had carefully observed the village, and there was a murderous aura lurking everywhere, and before this aura burst out, it was suppressed by a gentle aura. The wood spirit formations around the village are very powerful, but the village’s Severe of Autumn is not necessarily inferior, not to mention that the formation has been partially broken by external forces.

“This matter is a long story. It has been a thousand years.” Bai Jian’s face froze, and her eyes showed rejection of this topic. She brought the topic back to Jin Lingzhu. She said, “Some people claim to be The emissary of the Demon Emperor came to our Xihuang Village, but my power can only temporarily suppress him, and sooner or later he will break the seal.”

“so-“

“So I need your help.” Bai Jian responded rather simply. She lowered her head and glanced at the little white dumpling who was playing with the tail. “I think you will be interested. Dragon Qi is for Wangtianzhen Great tonic.”

“Dragon?” Ji Yuchuan raised his eyebrows, and a stern face appeared in front of him for a moment. It has been a while since I heard from him, is it possible that he came to Xihuang Village quietly, looking for the whereabouts of Jin Lingzhu? Or is the dragon soul of Yushan found this place?

Sheng Qingru asked quietly: “Can you take us to see it?”

Bai Jian nodded and said: “Yes.” She walked ahead to lead the way, and reached the destination after climbing a small hill. It was a stone house like a tomb, with a cold breath on all sides, and the angry dragon roaring from it could still be faintly heard. “The people in the village are in awe of the Dragon God. I can only imprison him in this place so that I won’t be noticed.”

“I think my guess should be correct.” Ji Yuchuan took a deep breath, and she took a step forward and walked in front of the other two. The door of the stone house was also made of stone, and slowly opened under her push. The house is not big, only a few square meters. A man was imprisoned by chains, and an angry dragon hovered above his head, as if he was about to break through the chains and break through the confinement of the stone house. “You Shao, we met again.” For You Ao, Ji Yuchuan didn’t have a good impression. She sighed twice, “I didn’t expect you to be a soldier of the Demon Emperor.” Of course, the answer to Ji Yuchuan was only an angry roar. .

“This is Longsuo?” Sheng Qingru was afraid that Ji Yuchuan would have an accident, and pulled her into his arms, looking at the chains that bound You Ao. If she remembers it correctly, then Dragon-Binding was once a magic weapon of the Eastern Emperor, right? Why did it fall into Bai Jian’s hands again?

“It was left to me by a friend.” Bai Jian understood the doubt in Sheng Qingru’s eyes, and answered before she asked. As for which friend she was, she was reluctant to remember.

Sheng Qingru nodded slightly, she lowered her head to look at Qingqing who was biting her trousers, her eyes were shining, she wanted to have coveted the dragon for a long time, and she wished to pounce on You Ao immediately, but without Sheng Qingru’s approval, it would not Dare to move indiscriminately. Leaning down and nodding its forehead, Sheng Qingru said with a light smile: “Go.” And Qingqing, who was granted permission, immediately showed his ferocity, and glared at the dragon soul with grinning teeth.

“Qingqing is about to transform again, let’s go out.” Ji Yuchuan covered his eyes with his hands, and added, “I don’t think it’s ugly.” There was an earth-shattering roar from the small stone house, almost touching the ground. They all began to tremble, and the three people standing at the door seemed okay, looking at the dragon soul that was gradually dimming. No matter how strong the dragon’s spiritual power is, Wang Tianzhen is its nemesis in the end. The dragon that is now bound does not have any resistance.

“Now, can we see Jin Lingzhu?” Ji Yuchuan cleared his throat and asked.

“It’s in Shaohao Pond, where there is an array of eyes.” Bai Jian sighed, “I once swore that no one would destroy the array of Xihuangcun. If you can take it without destroying the array. Let it go, then just take it away.”

“What does this mean?” Ji Yuchuan frowned. If the gold spirit orb is the eye, then taking away the gold spirit orb is equivalent to directly destroying the magic circle, how can it be taken without destroying it? Feeling called them here, is it playing with them? “What if we have to destroy the formation?” Ji Yuchuan took a deep breath and asked.

Bai Jian’s expression did not change, and he responded quietly: “Then I can only become a defender, and I can destroy the golden spirit orb before you get it.”

“Why do you want everyone in the village to be trapped in the formation? Didn’t you say that the world of Peach Blossom Spring is not so beautiful?” Sheng Qingru squeezed Ji Yuchuan’s hand and motioned her to calm down. She stared into Bai Jian’s eyes and asked quietly.

“It’s not good because it’s too lonely.” Bai Jian sighed, her expression was rather complicated, “Do you really think they are human? Once the formation is destroyed, the people in the village will lose the Qingdizhi With the support of the spirit, they will immediately disappear. They were originally the ones who should have died thousands of years ago.”

Ji Yuchuan asked: “Are they your tribe?”

“No.” Bai Jian shook his head. “They are the ones who guard me. Once I get close to the border of Xihuang Village, they will come up like crazy. This is not a naturally generated village, but a prison. I am the only prisoner in this cage.” Bai Jian smiled when she said the last few words. She licked her lips, adding a bit of bleakness between her eyebrows, “I voluntarily stayed in the cage, and that person But he will never come back again.” Thousands of years of love and hatred did not become blurred with the passage of time. At the moment Nuwa’s heart fell into reincarnation, the sleeping village woke up, and her soul was also Forcing her to re-accept the memory of the past, if everything is forgotten, what a good thing is that? But, as a sinner, she has to endure torture again and again.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to mention these.” Ji Yuchuan understood her sadness and spoke guiltily.

“It has nothing to do with you.” Bai Jian sighed again, “I have already told you the whereabouts of the Jin Lingzhu. It is up to you to do what you want to do. My position changes with your choices, whether it is an enemy or a friend. In a single thought.”

Ji Yuchuan nodded heavily, and thought in his heart, as expected, no spiritual orb can be easily obtained. What about his fans? Why did you turn your face at this time?

Why should I stay in Xihuangcun for a while? Fortunately, Bai Jian can be regarded as hospitable. In the courtyard where she lives alone, she can pack up a clean house for Sheng Qingru to live in. As for food, this small village It is a completely self-sufficient closed manor. Although under the same roof, it is rare to see Bai Jian’s figure. She seems to be in the room alone, disconnected from everything in the world.

“Gold Lingzhu is the formation eye, how can we get it without destroying the formation eye?” Ji Yuchuan looked sad, obviously out of ideas. She and Sheng Qingru went to Shaohao Pond to check, that is where the formation is the strongest. It is not so much that the wood spirit formation suppresses the entire village, it is better to say that the Jin Lingzhu voluntarily provided all the energy and was willing to be restrained. “Can we find a substitute for Jin Lingzhu?” Ji Yuchuan asked again.

“Currently, there is nothing more powerful than Lingzhu.” Sheng Qingru frowned. She also thought about this possibility. Not to mention the spiritual power needed to shift her eyes, she didn’t even have anything that could replace the Jin Lingzhu. They can clearly see what they want, but they are at a loss as to what to do.

“Sitting like this is no way. I really can’t figure out what Miss Bai means. If she is a prisoner in Xihuangcun, wouldn’t it be great to lift the **** of her body? As for the life and death of the people in the village, what is it? Coherent? They should have been wiped out.” Ji Yuchuan replied, staying in this place for a long time aggravated her anxiety. “If there is really no way, let’s go head-to-head. I don’t believe there is no chance.”

Sheng Qingru’s fingers fell on Ji Yuchuan’s eyebrows and smoothed the sadness between her eyebrows and eyes. She didn’t want to lose any of the emperor Wa’s relics, and sighed lightly. She responded, “This is the next step. Let’s see if we can persuade Miss Bai. Chu Jinyan, I also contacted. She heard that after the rumors, there were monsters in the world, and people were panicked for a while. The people of the Demon Supervisory Committee were busy catching the monsters who came out boldly, and there was no time to take care of us here.”

“Is this called the room leak even the night rain?” Ji Yuchuan held Sheng Qingru’s hand and said again, “I think Miss Bai is very strange, what traces have been left on her in the past? If someone imprisoned me, I Naturally hates him, but Miss Bai is different. Her emotions show that she has very complicated feelings for the person who set up the formation. Who is the formation? Can you remember the old things thousands of years ago?”

“I don’t know.” Sheng Qingru shook his head, it is impossible to see everything. After pondering for a moment, she replied, “This wood spirit formation is the strongest I have ever seen. It must have been laid by someone who was inherited by the Azure Emperor. The wood spirit orb is probably in her hand, if we can wait here. She’s here—” Sheng Qingru didn’t go on. This is the best plan, but I don’t know how much this kind of existence is possible. It’s better to not have too little hope or not.

“I can’t sit still anymore.” Ji Yuchuan snorted, “The longer this is delayed, the worse it will be.”

Xihuang Village was originally a place isolated from the world, but before Sheng Qingru and the others came, there were traces of other monsters, and after them, it also ushered in new visitors. Sheng Qingru and the others didn’t know about it, but one day Bai Jian suddenly walked out of her small world, burst into tears after tears of joy, as if the person she was waiting for finally appeared at this moment.

Ji Yuchuan took Sheng Qingru to see the excitement. She was a woman in green clothes. The ancient skirts were incompatible with everything today. However, they were very similar to the people in Xihuang Village, and even the breath on them was exactly the same. When I saw the back, I thought that the woman was a gentle appearance, but the face that was similar to the monster was even more gorgeous than the nine-tailed fox Chu Jinyan.

When Bai Jian ran to the woman, she stopped. She seemed a little distrustful of her eyes, and her ambivalence was undoubtedly revealed on her face. Obviously he wanted to be urgent, but finally stopped amidst all kinds of hesitation. “Kong Sang, you said that when you come back, it means you have forgiven me.”

The woman called Kongsang smiled slightly and said, “It is true, I am sorry that you have waited for thousands of years.”

“Actually, it’s not a long wait.” Bai Jian sighed, “Most of the time we spend in deep sleep, without any perception. I still—”

Before Bai Jian’s words were finished, the woman stretched out her hand to her lips and gave a soft “hush”. At this time, her eyes fell on Sheng Qingru and Ji Yuchuan, and she was looking calmly. The same outsiders in the village. After a while, she turned to Bai Jian and asked, “Who are they?”

“It’s the messenger on the sacred mountain, can’t you tell?” A doubt flashed across Bai Jian’s eyes.

“Sorry, I just woke up soon.” A guilty smile appeared on Kongsang’s face. She stroked her forehead and looked down at the little white dumpling on the ground. It was obviously the meeting between her and Bai Jian, but the final attention always stayed on the other person.

“She was the one who set up the Wood Spirit Formation?” Ji Yuchuan’s heart was filled with speculation. She stared into Bai Jian’s eyes and asked curiously.

Bai Jian was taken aback, concealing the sadness in her eyes, she whispered: “Yes.”

“Then can she unlock the formation and let us get the thing?” Ji Yuchuan asked again.

Bai Jian glanced at Kongsang and saw her mind drifting away, suppressing the surprise and sourness in her heart. She had imagined all the possibilities of meeting, love and hate, but never thought it would be such a casual scene. It seemed that it was not the person who had come to see her, but someone who had only a nodding acquaintance thousands of years ago, perhaps not a friend. Attributable to her when she first awakened, was her consciousness still in a state of chaos? Or is it to say that after several cycles, the person’s soul is no longer awakened in the body, but is dominated by the soul power of this life?

Ji Yuchuan’s question was not answered, she looked at Bai Jian, her brows tightened.

“I’m sorry.” Kongsang apologized again, “I don’t have any impression of what happened before. As for the wood spirit formation, there are only vague fragments left. I need time.”

“It’s okay, I can wait.” Bai Jian answered.

Ji Yuchuan: “…” She didn’t want to spend time in this weird Xihuang Village.
