Chapter 1208 The Returnee's Notes 282

Xie Ning had put her mask back on by then, and she walked down the steps one by one. "Huifa, there are still many souls here that need your help to release them."

Ouyang Lin's abilities are different from Huifa's. Both of them can chant sutras for the deceased, but they are definitely not as good as Huifa, who specializes in this profession.

What were you talking about just now?

Xie Ning paused, then sighed, without directly answering his question, "I have already resolved their obsessions. The next step is to send them away from the mortal realm. I'll need your help with that."

Then, glancing at the others, Xie Ning seemed to look around in circles, "This matter can be handled by the two of us, otherwise, things might go wrong."

The surrounding chilling energy kept invading his body. Huifa assumed that the two ghosts had something to ask, so he stopped asking questions.

To be honest, this was the first time he had ever seen such a powerful ghost.

Xie Ning nodded in agreement, "After all, they are ancestors from the pre-Qin period. Fortunately, they didn't have much malice, otherwise we would definitely have been defeated here."

And Yuan Ming...

Thinking of Yuan Ming, not only Xie Ning, but also Hui Fa, a friend of Yuan Ming, couldn't help but curse him in his heart. Yuan Ming must be hiding something. He didn't believe that Yuan Ming hadn't encountered this ghost when he went to another secondary tomb chamber.

If they knew that the tomb contained ghosts that had lived for thousands of years, not just a few of them would have dared to enter the tomb chamber so easily.

Xie Ning breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Huifa agreed. The reason she was at ease with Huifa was because she had just seen Huifa's face. The two had met once before, at the special office in Beijing.

Huifa was also a staff member there, but she hadn't paid attention to her at the time, and unexpectedly ran into her here.

With Huifa's help, Xie Ning turned around and leaped up again. Huifa wanted to follow, but unexpectedly, ghostly fire suddenly rose in the air, forcibly stopping his steps.

Lingqian looked at her sewn-up body in the coffin. According to Xie Ning, a thousand years had passed since their time, and her body should have decomposed, but now it seemed as if she was asleep, only her face was a little pale.

"Is it a spirit pearl?"

Qing Nu nodded. This was the national treasure of the Li Kingdom, but the Li Kingdom had already been destroyed. What use was it to keep it?

As a priestess, she knew a little about ghosts and spirits. Fearing that Lingqian's soul was incomplete, she took the spirit pearl to calm her soul and also to keep her body from decaying.

Ling Qian sighed, then turned to Xie Ning, "I'll give you this spirit pearl as a token of my gratitude for what you've done for us."

Xie Ning's heart skipped a beat, "Could this spirit pearl have the effect of prolonging life?"

"Of course, but it won't extend lifespan by much."

"That's enough, thank you."

Just as Xie Ning took the spirit pearl from Ling Qian's mouth, her body began to decompose at a visible speed.

Finally, it turned into ashes.

Lingqian's soul was also somewhat unstable.

"It's time to leave." Qingnu looked at Xie Ning.

Xie Ning nodded, "I'll go arrange it right away..." bomb.

"No need."

It was Ling Qian who spoke; she had just learned about the agreement between Qing Nu and Xie Ning.

"Could you lend me a sliver of fire?"

Xie Ning didn't understand Ling Qian's meaning, but she still raised her hand and made a hand seal. A ball of flame appeared in her palm, and then a ball of ghostly blue fire floated over and directly devoured the flame in her palm.

Centered on her location, the eerie blue flames rapidly spread, bypassing Huifa and the others, and engulfed the entire tomb. The money and jewels were left behind, while the buried corpses were all reduced to ashes in the eerie blue flames.

Huifa paused in his chanting, looked up, and saw that one by one, the spirits were floating in. He had thought he would have to search for them one by one, but unexpectedly, all the spirits left in the tomb surged over.

The sight of so many ghosts caused a bead of cold sweat to trickle down his forehead.

After calming her racing heart, Huifa continued chanting sutras to help the ghosts in the area to be reborn in a better place. The ghosts here still harbored deep resentment.

"Princess!"

It was a spirit dressed as a maid. She floated to Qing Nu's side and said somewhat mechanically, "Princess... I've met you."

She volunteered to be buried alive with the king. People like them should have been buried alive with the king, but the princess was willing to let them leave.

But where can one go if one leaves?

Since the kingdom is gone, they might as well leave with the princess. Without the princess, they have no idea how to live.

After the maid, several more spirits regained some consciousness and knelt before Qingnu and Lingqian. Among them was an elderly spirit, clad in armor, who stared intently at Lingqian, "General Lingqian..."

He saw off Lingqian's father, uncle, and brother... and finally watched helplessly as Lingqian collapsed before his eyes.

The soldiers around me have gone from young and strong to veterans and young soldiers; the nation is on the verge of collapse...

Qingnu and Lingqian exchanged a glance, then Qingnu said to Xie Ning, "In my tomb, there is a red box. Perhaps you will like what's inside."

After saying that, he and Lingqian led the other spirits away on a path of dark blue flames.

Xie Ning murmured softly, "It will come true..."
