The strange thing was that the wall that Li Yijie's palm had collapsed was only a thin layer. Once it fell apart, it was a completely different world. The three of them walked towards the place where Cheng Jiaxuan had pointed. Sure enough, they saw a skeleton sitting upright against the wall. The skull was slightly tilted to one side, as if it was resting against the wall. From the skeletal structure and the empty facial features left behind in the skull, it seemed that the person was a beauty, regardless of whether it was a man or a woman. They didn't know why, but this thought popped up in their minds.
Li Yijie's heart trembled, "Could it be that it was a traveler who mistakenly entered the cave, wandered around in circles, and finally died here?" But then he remembered that the entrance to the cave had not been blocked by a large rock, so it was impossible for it to be trapped here. So how could it be sealed in the wall? Although he overturned his previous thoughts, he felt that this matter was even more confusing.
Nangong Xue said, "Look, there are many precious jewels and jewelry around, but why are they scattered on the ground?" Lu Qian said, "It seems that this was a woman, and a woman who loved to dress up." How could a woman not love to dress up? But if these jewels were her favorite, why would she take them off and throw them away before she died? It was as if she had already foreseen her own death, but still calmly faced it.
Although the four of them were not jewelry experts, they could tell that this pile of jewels and jewelry was not ordinary. Every piece should be priceless. Cheng Jiaxuan worked as a maid in the palace, and often dressed Shen Shiyun, so he recognized a few of the jewels and jewelry that could only be found in the palace. He said, "Could it be that some concubine in the palace, who was very favored when she was alive, grew old, was neglected, and died here?"
Lu Qian said, "That can't be right. Even if she was hated by the emperor, at most she would be banished to the cold palace. How could she be chased out of the palace just because she was wearing jewels? If she was already dead and was being buried here, why would they go into this cave, take off all her jewels, and then help her lean against the wall? People who bury corpses are most afraid of trouble. They would just carelessly dig a hole and fill it with a few shovels of dirt to cover the body. Who would have the patience to spend so much effort? You're a servant in the palace, yet you don't even have such common sense? "
To cover up his embarrassment, Cheng Jiaxuan boldly guessed, "Perhaps she was a thief. After stealing the treasure, she was chased into a cave and didn't dare to go out. In the end, she starved to death."
Li Yijie raised his head and looked at the wall in front of him. He remembered that they had been too focused on the corpse and neglected the wall. Looking at the wall, he indeed saw a large number of densely packed words. Due to the passage of time, although there was no sun or rain in the cave, there was still a slight indifference.
However, these slender white marks on the stone wall seemed to have been carved with fingernails. He pointed to the wall and said, "Look, there are words on the wall." Then he forced a smile and mocked himself, "It's a pity that I didn't study much, so I don't know many characters. Come and take a look. What does it say? It must be this senior's last words … "
As soon as Lu Qian and Nangong Xue saw the handwriting, they didn't need him to tell them to read it carefully. Although Li Yijie couldn't understand it, he was still sincerely happy that he had found some clues. As he looked at the handwriting, he turned his head to look at the two's expressions, hoping to see them suddenly enlightened. Unexpectedly, Nangong Xue's eyebrows gradually tightened. Her teeth unconsciously bit her lips as if she had encountered something difficult to understand. She muttered, "This … this seems to be a manual of martial arts. But it's very profound … "
Lu Qian looked at it for a while. His face was relaxed, but then he revealed a hint of disdain and said, "It's a lie. The circulation path is completely inconsistent with common sense, but it seems to be deliberately reversed. If you practice according to its method, I can guarantee you that in less than half a day, your blood and Qi will reverse and your tendons and meridians will break and you will die. This person probably felt that she wouldn't be satisfied if she was bored to death, so she came up with this manual. She wanted to trick the latecomers and make them all die here to accompany her. After all, a woman's heart is the most poisonous. There's nothing that can be done. "
Nangong Xue's martial arts cultivation was limited. She wasn't like Lu Qian, who had been at Qing Tian Village for six years and had profound attainments in internal energy. Hearing what he said, she hurriedly said, "This person is bad. Shixiong, you must not practice it. Let's just pretend that we didn't see this stone wall. "
Li Yijie still couldn't let go. His intuition told him that this senior wasn't a bad person. Full of doubts, he said, "She … didn't have to do this, right? Look at how hard it was for her to carve these words. Why would she spend so much effort to frame someone who has nothing to do with her? Besides, even if someone committed suicide while practicing martial arts, she wouldn't be able to see it. " Lu Qian said, "Maybe she just has this strange hobby. She wants to see the latecomers fall into her trap and smile in the underworld. You, Alliance Chief Li, are a kind person. How can you understand this poisonous woman's thoughts? "
Li Yijie frowned and shook his head. He couldn't explain the complicated thoughts in his mind. She saw a few lines of words on the right side of the wall and said, "There's something on that side too … I wonder what it says?" Nangong Xue didn't like this evil woman who wanted to harm people even after death. She said, "Who cares what she says? It wouldn't be anything good either. Maybe she's encouraging you to practice her martial arts. She's saying how amazing the effects will be after you practice it. She doesn't have enough evil martial arts. She's worried that others won't fall for it, so she's trying to bewitch people … "
Lu Qian laughed, "Let her say whatever she wants. There's no harm in taking a look." Nangong Xue pursed her lips. But thinking that her shixiong was the one who suggested it, she reluctantly went to take a look. She read in a low voice.
She read, "Just a few words. It's not enough to express my sincerity. Be cautious. The Demonic Sect in the Central Plains is called 'Sacrifice Shadow'. It's harmful to many people and brings calamity to the common people. Every righteous person wishes to personally destroy it. I hate concubines. My hands are bare and I don't have the strength to truss a chicken. I don't have any grand plans. I just want to live peacefully in this chaotic world. Who would have thought that the situation would destroy me. The Old Demon coveted my body and beauty. Ming Yan took me by force. Sin and fate? Hate and resentment? Pain calms my mind and awakens my spirit. I no longer have any thoughts of returning. The Old Demon is evil. I can't kill the culprit with my own hands. It's my life's regret. But after several years of reading his books and studying his martial arts, the Heavens took pity on me. I spent the rest of my life thinking of a way to break this evil. I live in a secluded cave in a deep valley. My books are all here. The one who learns them will not be my disciple. But I beg you to lend me your strength to kill the evil spirit and eliminate the Demonic Sect. Once this matter is settled, I will rest peacefully in the Nine Springs. The water in this pond can stimulate internal energy and help you cultivate. It's half the work and twice the result. There are both advantages and disadvantages. Be careful! "
She switched to another line. There was a large space in the middle. She added, "I am of poor quality. Luckily Meng Lang didn't abandon me and took me as his soulmate. Thinking of the past when we first met, we loved each other. We sailed across the five lakes and pledged our love. How happy was that? The only thing I don't forget is the past. All I can do is sigh! We once treated each other respectfully, but did not consummate the joy of fish and water. Thinking about it today, I regret it even more! Now I am impure, how can I dare to marry Langjun? I wish to turn into a wisp of my soul, coming and going without a trace. Langjun, please take care of yourself. My heart will always be the same as that day. Only fate makes fools of people. Meng Lang, Meng Lang, we will meet again in the next life! Weeping with tears and tears, I pray to the hero. Practicing martial arts and using the saber is not beautiful. But I beg you to eliminate the evil spirit and save the world. Fulfilling my last wish, I will repay it in this life. Lowly Concubine Chu, I weep and end my writing. "
Nangong Xue sighed and said, "This Qianbei is indeed an unyielding woman. I misunderstood her earlier. " Thinking about her last words, each one filled with grief, each sentence filled with tears of blood, just like the tragic scene of that day. She could not help but want to cry. Lu Qian said, "She may be very strong, but she is also very scary. But who knows if she is just exaggerating? The Devil Cult's martial arts are profound and unfathomable. Can a woman like her really break them all? "
Nangong Xue sighed and pondered for a long time. She said, "She said … the martial arts on the wall are specially designed to break the Sacrifice Shadow Cult's martial arts? The Devil Cult's martial arts have always been strange. To break them, we must do the exact opposite. This is called 'fight poison with poison'. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is very strange. "Cheng Jiaxuan said," So what? Are you really going to practice it? " She loved the house and its crow. Not only did she not harbor any hatred toward the Sacrifice Shadow Cult for a long time, she actually felt a sense of closeness, as if the Sacrifice Shadow Cult was also her birthplace.
Nangong Xue said, "The Devil Cult has already been destroyed, it is not enough to reach the apex. But what I am thinking is that if I let Shixiong practice the manual on the wall, maybe he will be able to dissolve the Devil Cult's evil martial arts. Later on, there will be no more trouble. The water in the pond can increase one's internal energy, but it requires a certain amount of accumulation for it to be effective. Therefore, only Shixiong has a reaction. " When Lu Qian heard her last sentence, his face was full of displeasure. He tried to find some discomfort in his stomach to prove that his internal energy was strong.
Nangong Xue became more and more excited. She pulled Li Yijie's hand and said, "Shixiong, come here quickly. The evil martial arts in your body are too strong. For many years, it has not been suppressed, nor can it be completely removed. Perhaps this is the right time to get rid of this seed of disaster in one fell swoop. " Li Yijie forced a smile and said, "If my internal injuries were really that easy to cure, the imperial physicians of the Inner Palace would have prescribed medicine to treat me long ago. Why did it drag on for six years?"
Nangong Xue said, "Even if you can't cure it, you have to try everything you can. Quickly sit cross-legged and clear your mind." She almost pressed him to the ground. Li Yijie forced a smile and said, "I'm a dead horse …" He still wanted to refuse. He found a lame excuse and said, "I'm not very literate. There is no room for mistakes when practicing internal energy … "Nangong Xue said," It's okay if you're illiterate. I'll read it to you. Shixiong Lu, if I read it wrong, please correct me. "
Li Yijie forced a smile and said, "Xueer, when you're serious, why are you even stricter than Shifu was?" Nangong Xue said seriously, "Shut up. Who am I doing this for? I'm saving your life! Close your eyes. Hurry up. "
Li Yijie forced a smile and closed his eyes. No matter how hard he tried, his mind could not calm down. Thousands of thoughts rushed to his head, squeezing his brain until it could not accommodate them all. He heard Nangong Xue's voice reciting the incantation. At first he did not think much of it, but gradually he felt that it corresponded with the martial arts of the Devil Sect. He thought that no matter how bad the situation was in the future, it would not be worse than having a body full of internal injuries and being half dead.
In Jianghu, instead of being a cripple who could not use his internal energy, it would be better to end it quickly. He did not resist anymore and began to practice according to the incantation. As soon as he accumulated a stream of internal energy in his meridians, the internal energy of the Devil Sect was naturally produced to resist it.
Back then, the internal energy of the Huashan Sect that he had cultivated for many years had been suppressed by this force and could no longer be of any use. At this moment, the incantation was like a gravitational force, even this weak force was being drawn out. The two forces surged and collided with each other in his body. Following the incantation, the Qi was always calm, regulating these two forces. Sure enough, it was much better than the previous times.
Nangong Xue saw Li Yijie's body swaying and white steam rising from the top of his head. He really did look like someone who had practiced internal energy successfully. She had only heard about it in rumors. Last time at the Sword Discourse Forest, she saw Meng Anying teaching Li Yijie. Meng Anying had secretly practiced according to the secret manual. Although it was indeed very fast, she did not see any signs of it. Sure enough, the martial arts of the Devil Sect only focused on speed and did not care about stabilizing the foundation.
She had only recently found out that Li Yijie had this chronic illness that had troubled him for many years. She was very anxious and did not know what kind of medicine she should find. Now that she finally had hope of being cured, she would not easily give up. Regarding this matter, Li Yijie was more inclined to let nature take its course and resign himself to the will of the Heavens. She was more concerned about it.
Lu Qian saw that the two of them were practicing their internal energy and did not pay any attention to him. The most taboo thing about practicing internal energy was to be disturbed. If something went wrong, Li Yijie's internal injuries would flare up and he would die. In this lifetime, he would never have the thought of being married to Nangong Xue.
