Wanbao Lady

Chapter 418 Stone Tablet

From Zhuang Xian's narration, Chong Fan learned that thousands of ancient people were buried under the Yangshan Cave.

However, they did not die from fighting with their own people or natural disasters, but from being trampled or hit by some large heavy objects.

It is possible that these ancestors were hunting some large creatures at the time, but the creature was too powerful, so they lost their lives in vain.

Based on the description on the stone tablet and the situation of the mass grave, Chong Fan guessed that this stone tablet should be a collective tombstone, serving the purpose of recording and warning.

As for the person who erected the monument, he might have happened to see this incident and couldn't bear to see his fellow tribesmen exposed in the wilderness, so he and others collected and buried the remains and erected a monument to record them.

Thinking of this, Chongfan couldn't help but think of the wreath in his hand.

She couldn't understand any other words, but she could understand the words on the wreath and the tombstone.

Does this mean that these words were written by the same person?

But who is that person? Why can I be the only one who can understand the words written by him?

Thinking of this, she suddenly had an idea and asked, "By the way, Mr. Zhuang, what are the 'Summer Flower' and 'Beaded Vine' you mentioned before?"

Since the other party recognizes the plants on the wreath, maybe he can find some relevant clues from it.

"Please follow me."

After a while, she was brought to another stone slab. On the stone slab, there were some plant images and some ancient text inscribed.

Although she couldn't understand the words, two of the plants on them were very familiar to her.

"Please look at what is carved on this stone slab. Among them are summer flowers and bead-wrapped vines. From what I can see, the words on it should be words of praise for these beautiful flowers and plants. The general meaning is..."

He cleared his throat and said with great emotion: "Xia Shenghua, you are the skirt of the holy mountain; Zhu Chanteng, you are the belt of the holy mountain..."

The old man glanced at the person beside him, only to see him covering his face with his sleeves and chuckling. He couldn't help but coughed pretendly, "Uh, that's roughly what I mean!"

Chongfan suddenly burst into laughter.

Those who do historical research are generally a little different from ordinary people.

But...the Holy Mountain?

-

The next day.

As soon as the day broke, Qin Lingshan placed the soul of the second son of Pianyun Manor into a puppet, and then set off towards the border city gate.

Like the Great Zhou, the border walls of the Xisha Kingdom were also engraved with magic arrays, making it difficult for cultivators to easily cross or pass through the walls. Even the sky was protected by a barrier.

Of course, if you want to rely on your own cultivation level to force your way through, that's fine, as long as you're not afraid of causing trouble.

Only the wide-open city gate is slightly weaker.

But before she reached the city gate, she stopped in time.

He glanced around and sighed softly.

"You still haven't given up yet, and you come here to ambush me!"

Around the city gate, there were figures standing or sitting, looking around from time to time.

But they are not human beings at all, they are clearly evil ghosts!

One of the evil ghosts, like her, has the cultivation level of a celestial being!

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, she simply created a clone, lured the other party away with a trick, and then swaggered out of the city.

A quarter of an hour later.

"Oh no! I fell into a trap!"

I saw a man dressed in brocade clothes slapping his thigh with hatred in his eyes.

"Boss, what should we do now?"

However, the young man in brocade clothes had a gloomy face. "This person came and left as he said, and he killed so many of us. This is simply unreasonable! Report this matter to Lord Ghost King. If he dares to come again next time, he will be killed!"

"Yes!"

-

A few hours later.

Katagumoso.

A wisp of white smoke from the puppet floated into the nostrils of the person on the bed. After a while, the person woke up slowly.

"Oh, I'm awake, thank you Miss Qin! Thank you Miss Qin!"

After expressing their gratitude, the whole family hugged each other and cried with tears.

After some crying and comforting, the eldest son of Pianyun Manor said firmly: "Second brother, I heard from the servants that you drank too much and fell asleep that night? How did you get detained by the ghost?"

Hearing this, the young man who had just recovered from a serious illness nodded, "That was indeed what happened that night. But later I felt thirsty while sleeping, so I got up to get some water to drink. Who knew... I accidentally knocked over the statue!"

Speaking of this, the man still felt a lingering fear.

"What statue?" Qin Lingshan was confused.

But the eldest son was still frightened, and explained slowly: "Miss Qin is from another place, so it's normal that she doesn't know. In the Xisha country next to us, they believe in a ghost god called Nuo Mo! Therefore, every household places a statue of the god and worships it every day. Even in the inn, there is one in each room. If someone is disrespectful..."

At this point, he said with a little fear: "That will be retribution!"

The second young master also nodded. "I was in a daze at the time. After knocking over the statue, I was still hoping for a lucky break. Who knew... Alas!"

Who knew that he would be possessed by a female ghost in the middle of the night!

Hearing this, Qin's mother and daughter couldn't help but look at each other.

"That god is so stingy!" Qin Lingshan couldn't help but mutter.

Moreover, he is colluding with evil spirits, so he is clearly an evil god!

When these words came out, the whole family was frightened and almost covered her mouth.

"Shh! Don't let that person hear it!"

Qin Lingshan shook her head helplessly, "Don't worry, we in the Great Zhou are not pushovers. That god only dares to jump around in the Xisha Kingdom, and definitely won't dare to come here!"

After being comforted, the fear in the family's hearts subsided a lot.

But what came instead was a look of sorrow.

"My second brother almost lost his life on this trip. It seems that we can never go to Xisha. Mother, what should we do? If this continues, won't our Pianyun Manor be left with nothing?"

Mrs. Shen's eldest daughter said with a sad face.

"this......"

Seeing this scene, Mrs. Qin couldn't help but ask with concern: "What happened to your manor?"

Mrs. Shen turned her head and saw sincerity in the other person's eyes. His daughter was her savior, so she felt there was nothing to hide and so she told him everything.

"To be honest, our Pianyun Manor has always had good business. But ever since Song Er Niang emerged as a dark horse ten years ago, I don't know where she got the good thread from, and the embroidery patterns she created were so amazing that everyone said they were beautiful. Over time, our business was gradually taken away by her. Now, when we were on the verge of collapse, we had no choice but to accept the order from the Kingdom of Xisha. Who knew this would happen!" Mrs. Shen wiped away her tears.

"We've seen it too. In terms of needlework techniques, the ones embroidered by Song Erniang's farm can't even come close to ours. But the embroidery is so beautiful and eye-catching. Don't you think it's strange? Later, mother even compared them and found that their embroidery thread is special!"

At this point, as if to prove what she said, the middle-aged woman said quickly: "How about this, I'll go get two pieces, and you two will know after you take a look."
