Dodo saw that Hu Wei was running further and further away and shouted angrily, "We can't let him live! You … get out of my way! "He tried his best to hold back the words" get out of my way ", but it was already very difficult. Chu Menglin also turned around and glanced around. Seeing Hu Wei turn a corner, she immediately threw out a grenade, which hit the wall. The soil scattered and rolled in all directions. A piece of rock smashed into Hu Wei's back, causing him to stagger and stumble a few steps. In front of him, another piece of rock smashed into his head, causing him to faint on the ground. The sand and rocks fell rapidly, quickly burying his body.
Chu Menglin turned around and smiled stiffly at Dodo, "Now he can't escape anymore. You can tell me." Dou Duo acted cautiously; he waited until the smoke and dust dispersed, and saw that the pile of dirt was still. He was certain that he was dead. Only then did he feel relieved. He took a deep breath and sighed, "I originally wanted to wait until I had some clues before telling you. But since you are so impatient, fine, I might as well tell you the truth. I don't want you to think too much and annoy me. Actually, I didn't bring you here to use you as a sacrifice. I wanted to investigate … "
Chu Menglin anxiously asked, "Investigate what?" Just as Duo Duo was about to say something, he was interrupted by her. He was annoyed and said, "Tell me the truth first. Are you really your father's biological daughter? Where did he come from and what's his name? "
Chu Menglin said, "When have I ever been dishonest with you? Why are you asking about my father out of the blue? Of course I'm my father's biological daughter. Do you think I'm fake? Jiang Liechen that brat is the bastard of unknown origin! I'm ashamed to say that when I was young, my father would play with me and teach me martial arts. But ever since I picked him up, he paid less and less attention to me. All of his patience and … love was spent on him. Now that I've grown up, my father doesn't even pay attention to me anymore. He even wears a strange mask. Not to mention his name, even his real appearance … I don't know. For a daughter to reach such a state, it's really sad. Father has never mentioned his origins … There was only one time when he vaguely said that he was an avenger who came back from hell to take back everything that originally belonged to him but was forcefully taken away from him. "
Dodo pondered for a long time but still couldn't figure it out. She hesitated and said, "Can you take me to see your father? There are some things I want to ask him personally. "
Chu Menglin repeatedly waved his hands and said, "That … that won't do. Father's temper is irritable, his mood is unpredictable … That's not all, I'm more afraid that Jiang Liechen will take the opportunity to sow discord between us. Father likes him very much, he listens to his words the most. I'm afraid he will do something unfavorable to you … There's another reason. I stole our Cult's most precious treasure, the 'Afterimage Sword', and snuck out of the headquarters to become a great traitor. Father hates people who betray him the most. He hates me the most. Speaking of which, it's all Jiang Liechen's fault. He's the one who forced me into a corner … "
From her tone, Dodo could tell that she was pushing all the blame onto Jiang Liechen. He sneered and said, "Do you really hate him that much?" Chu Menglin said, "Yes, I hate him to death. He always takes my credit. No matter what he says to my father, my father always believes him. He thinks that everything he does is right and everything I do is wrong. In the long run, my father will hate me. "
Dodo thought, "If your father only listens to one side, he's simply a muddle-headed worm who can't distinguish right from wrong. Is a Cult Leader really that useless? " It seemed that he couldn't get anything out of Chu Menglin. Explaining the royal blood to her was even more of a waste of time. He said impatiently, "Forget it, sooner or later we'll find out the truth."
Chu Menglin wasn't going to let it go. She said, "You asked me a bunch of questions without rhyme or reason. You still haven't told me the truth about the sacrifice." Dodo was vexed. He remembered that a reasonable explanation had flashed through his mind. He casually replied, "Using Hu Wei as a living sacrifice was just a spur of the moment idea. Do you think this is like the ancient sacrificial river gods, where a living person is required as a sacrifice? Did I say that? It's just wishful thinking on your part. "
Chu Menglin stared blankly. She also felt that this sudden outburst was completely unreasonable. She felt guilty and hurriedly apologized. She then took out the Tear of Severing Spirit from her pouch and offered it with both hands. Dodo snorted coldly and took it. She walked to the side of the stone platform and faced the silver box. She used three fingers to carefully pinch the edge of the Tear of Severing Spirit and raised it to the top of the groove. Only after making sure that every gap was perfectly aligned did she put it in. As soon as the jade was inserted into the groove, it suddenly emitted a red light that spiraled upwards. Both of them were stunned. However, this situation only lasted for a moment before the red light dimmed and gradually disappeared. A stand rose from the side of the stone platform. A dark green dagger was placed on it. It wasn't very comfortable to hold in one's hand, but a chill penetrated the palm of one's hand. It was bone-chilling.
Dodo pressed the dagger against his wrist. The dark green light made the green veins on his wrist even more prominent. He originally wanted to clench his teeth and cut it off, but after a thought, he passed the dagger to Chu Menglin.
Chu Menglin saw this and understood his intentions. He didn't argue. Instead, he gently rolled up his sleeves and raised his wrist above the Tear of Severing Spirit. He then cut the blood vessel with the dagger. The dagger was sharp. It only took a light cut for it to open a wound about half an inch long. Blood flowed out like a small stream and dripped onto the Tear of Severing Spirit. The dagger was also an item of extreme Yin. In the time it took to cut from the blade to the tip, it had already caused the blood to coagulate and the wound to form a scab. At the same time, a sufficient amount of blood was released.
Blood flowed from the tip of the Tear of Severing Spirit to both sides. In just a moment, the entire jade was completely soaked in blood. In a split second, the entire Hall of the Dead was shrouded in a drunken red halo. There was also a brilliance flowing in the middle of the box. A silver light bead circled the box three times before returning to silence. However, there was still an unconcealable dark green light leaking out of the box.
Dodo held the lid of the silver box with both hands and pushed it up. The silver box was opened with a loud rumble. A large stone fell from the tomb door and completely sealed the Hall of the Dead. The two of them didn't have time to care about it for the time being. They were both busy looking at the box. They saw a square jade wall made of emerald lying in the box. Both sides were engraved with tiny words. Chu Menglin felt dizzy as soon as he saw it. He could only wait for Dodo to explain.
At this moment, no matter how calm Dodo usually was, her hands couldn't help but tremble slightly. It was as if she felt that a shocking truth was about to be revealed. After carefully reading the densely packed words, she suddenly felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Because the secret recorded on it was too shocking, she put down the jade wall in a daze and lost the courage to look at it again. After a long time, she finally calmed down and was able to tell Chu Menglin the details.
The jade wall first recorded the life of Prince Heshuo Zhuang in a large paragraph. Aisin Gioro Shurhaci's early years were tough. When he was young, he followed his brother Nurhaci to make a living. The two brothers had no one to rely on and were always ostracized and bullied. After a few twists and turns, they joined the Ming Dynasty's general Li Chengliang as a servant and barely managed to make a living. He had seen all kinds of cruel battles and his mind was extremely mature and experienced. At the same time, he was quite disgusted with the situation in front of him. At this time, he met Princess Yong 'an, who had escaped from her marriage outside the Great Wall and was disguised as a man. The two of them had similar natures and often hit it off when they talked. Gradually, they became like brothers and became close to each other.
In the 11th year of the Ming Dynasty, the Battle of Gule. Suksuhu River's Tulun City Lord Nikanwailan followed Li Chengliang to the battle and appeared to trick the Gule Village's defenders to surrender. In this battle, Nurhaci's grandfather Jue Chang 'an and father Takeshi were both killed. The two brothers were angry and used thirteen sets of armor to form a team of more than a hundred people. They fought in all directions and gradually created a piece of heaven and earth. Four years later, Nurhaci became Khan in Feara and gave Shurhaci the title of Baylor. He gave him five thousand elite troops and forty generals. His position was second only to himself.
Nurhaci worked hard and was good at using troops. Every time he went to war, his army was invincible. When he led the army to take revenge on Sonikan Wailan, his daughter Qi Ya pleaded for mercy. Nurhaci originally wanted to kill her, but after Shurhaci's persuasion, he spared her life. However, Qi Ya was only grateful to Shurhaci and did not have any feelings for him. She said that regardless of life or death, she was willing to follow Nurhaci. Shurhaci did not want to go against her wishes, so he reluctantly gave her to his brother. However, he still cared for her and did his best to make her happy.
In the 8th month of the 23rd year of the Wanli Dynasty, Shurhaci led an envoy to the capital for the first time. Along the way, he met the beautiful and intelligent female hero Mu Qingyan. The two of them toured the capital together and opened their eyes. Shurhaci became more and more arrogant, and he became more and more unhappy with his position as a subject. He hoped that one day he could become a ruler.
In the 7th month of the next year, Shurhaci once again came to the capital to pay tribute. In order to rope him in, the Ming Dynasty gave him many gifts and took the chance to sow discord, killing two birds with one stone. Shurhaci was ambitious. On one hand, he actively developed his relationship with the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, he used marriage to form good relations with the various tribes of Manchuria. Not long after, Li Chengliang, who had been removed from his position, was reinstated. He ordered his son Li Rubai to marry Shurhaci's daughter as a concubine, and the relationship between the two sides improved.
A few years later, Shurhaci's strength was enough to challenge his brother's authority. As a result, his ambition swelled to an unimaginable level. He believed the rumors of the underworld and searched for the ancient treasure 'Seven Evils'. It was said that if the seven of them obtained it, they would be able to become a king and reach the peak. With the help of Mu Qingyan and Princess Yong 'an, who had returned to her female disguise, he had obtained three of the seven evils. They were the Afterimage Sword, Soul Breaking Tear, and Life Seeking Slash. (In the future, in order to frame Shen Aotian, Dorgon falsely claimed that the Tear of Severing Soul was the most precious treasure in the martial arts world. He spread the news everywhere by accident. Unexpectedly, the Tear of Severing Soul was really a peerless treasure.
Nurhaci noticed that his brother was not loyal to him, and he was furious. He killed his two sons, Altona and Zasaktu. The Ming Dynasty army in Liaodong was in a precarious situation, and they were forced to retreat. They were not Nurhaci's opponent, and they could not even protect themselves.
Shurhaci's rebellion failed, and he knew that he did not have long to live. However, even though he did not succeed, he was not willing to die just like that. Thus, he left a secret letter and started to make arrangements. Coincidentally, Princess Yong 'an and Nurhaci's concubine, Ulanara Abahai, gave birth to a son at the same time. Shurhaci risked his life and took the chance to swap the two children. He also used the full moon banquet to give the Soul Breaking Tear as a gift to him. Princess Yong' an also gave him a book. This child was named Dodo, and he grew up as the 15th son of Taizu. The other child was missing.
Mu Qingyan secretly built a tomb and combined the secret letter, the map of the royal tomb, and the book into a blueprint. She gave it to a friend for safekeeping. In the future, he would become the abbot of the Shaolin Temple. After everything was prepared, Shurhaci returned to his brother's tent. That day, he was imprisoned and lived a dark life. His entire body was locked up, and he only had two orifices to feed. Not long after, he was secretly poisoned by Nurhaci. He said that he was not satisfied with his brother's intelligence and respect. He did not want to live a peaceful life, so he died on the 19th of the 8th month in the year of Xinhai.
During the funeral, Mu Qingyan secretly ordered people to steal the corpse and bury it in the royal tomb. She also engraved everything that had happened over the years on a jade wall and asked a skilled craftsman to create a silver box. At the same time, she sealed it in the Hall of the Dead. Princess Yong 'an was willing to die with him. The theft of the corpse was a serious dereliction of duty, and the escorts did not dare to say anything. Shurhaci's last words were that his descendants had to take revenge for him and take over his unfinished business. If not, they would never be at peace in the underworld.
When Chu Menglin heard this, he was silent and did not know how to reply. He was already familiar with some of the details, but he had never heard of some of them. It was too unbelievable. After a long time, he asked softly, "Then … what are you going to do next?"
