Xiao Huaichen woke up and found himself in a desolate place.
There was a cold wind blowing all around. He heard voices coming from the woods and ran in without thinking much.
Just when I was halfway through the run, I stopped.
The seabed... How could there be a forest under the sea?
While he was hesitating, he saw two men in the woods, burying a body.
But the body still moved, so one of them shouted, "Quick, cover it up, nail it down!"
"We can't let her crawl out, otherwise we will all die if we go back."
“Hurry up, hurry up!”
With the heavy blow of the hammer, the coffin was fixed firmly.
Xiao Huaichen waited until they ran away before going forward. Hearing some movement from inside the coffin, he said, "Don't be afraid. They're gone."
"Now I'm going to ask you a question. Answer me and knock on the coffin lid. If I hear you, I'll let you out."
The people inside quieted down.
Xiao Huaizheng said: "Okay, let me ask you now, are you a human?"
There was a knock on the coffin lid.
Xiao Huaizheng felt relieved and quickly wanted to cast a spell to release the person.
But he found that he couldn't cast any spell at all. At the same time, the person inside could no longer hold back and let out a sharp wail. It was a woman's voice.
Xiao Huaichen didn't care about anything else and smashed the coffin with stones until he finally broke it open.
A bloody hand stretched out, its nails were broken and bleeding redly.
He was so scared that he hid backwards, and while hiding, he reached into his arms, hoping to touch something.
With this touch, he took out the soul-calling banner.
The flames on it looked real, and he hit his fingers so hard that he accidentally hurt himself and started bleeding.
Xue Ran was on the soul-summoning banner, and the flame suddenly ignited. He was so scared that he dropped it to the ground.
But when I think about it, everyone went to the bottom of the sea just to look for it, picked it up and put it in their arms.
He added, "You are a righteous magical weapon, forged for the peace of the Nine Provinces, and you use the magical power left by the gods, so you must strive to be worthy."
"You have to go out in style, okay?"
After he said that, he put the spirit-calling banner into his arms.
He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt that the soul-summoning flag suddenly stopped moving and lay quietly against his body.
At the same time, the girl also climbed out, plopping to her knees on the ground and saying, "Thank you for saving me, righteous man. I am Chen Rong, the daughter of the Minister of Revenue in the capital. I was to marry the Prince of Qi in Youzhou as his concubine. Our bridal sedan was encountered by bandits on the way, and I was knocked unconscious."
"I woke up halfway through the bumpy ride and dazedly heard someone say that someone didn't want me to marry into Prince Qi's mansion and wanted to use the ghost kidnapping method to make me disappear."
"Most of the people I brought with me are now dead... Please leave your name and hometown. When I return home, I will inform my parents and come to thank them."
Xiao Huaichen helped her up and said, "Don't worry. Since you are still alive, it proves that God has eyes and will definitely give you justice."
"But what dynasty it is now? I've been in the mountains for a long time and have no idea."
Chen Rong wiped her tears in surprise and said, "It is now the forty-fifth year of Zhaoming. The Prince of Qi is the fourth son of the current emperor and has been favored since childhood."
"He has only one son, the Crown Prince Xiao Hexu, who is also my fiancé."
Xiao Huaichen asked, "The country's surname is Xiao, so what's the king's name?"
Chen Rong said, "The King is Xiao Huaiyuan."
Xiao Huaichen was shocked and asked, "Is the queen Wen Yingying?"
Chen Rong said, "That's right."
Xiao Huaichen slapped himself on the forehead: "Am I really dreaming?"
"I'm back again?"
"How many decades later?"
"It's over, it's over. How can I go back now?"
Chen Rong said, "Don't worry, benefactor. I still have some money on me. I'll give it to you as travel expenses."
As he said this, he was about to take off the bracelet on his hand.
Seeing the effort and the injury on her hand, Xiao Huaichen quickly held her hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm not short of money."
"How about this, let's cover this soil first, so they don't think you ran away."
"Then we'll find another place to talk."
Chen Rong nodded quickly and got busy.
Before, Xiao Huaichen could just move his hands, but now he can’t do that because he has no magic power.
He could only follow Chen Rong in scooping up the soil. It took the two of them an incense stick of time to restore the surroundings to their original state, and then they found a small river to wash the mud off their hands.
Seeing that Chen Rong's nails were turned inside out and bleeding, Xiao Huaichen crushed the blood-replenishing pills he brought with him and applied them to her wounds first.
Then he tore a strip of cloth to bandage Chen Rong's wound.
At this time, Chen Rong discovered that his hand was also injured, so she hurried to help and bandaged it.
The two of them found a cave to rest. When it was almost dawn, Xiao Huaichen started a fire and sat outside. He said, "You rest first. I'll meditate outside. Call me if you need anything."
Chen Rong said, "Please come in, benefactor. It's very windy outside."
Xiao Huaichen said: "No, I'm in good health."
But the next day, he caught a cold.
What a slap in the face.
What was even more embarrassing was that when the sun shone on his face, he clearly saw that the wound on his finger was still there. It was not fake, not a dream.
He really is back.
But why him?
Xiao Huaichen didn't understand.
He looked at Shen Rong who had woken up and asked, "Do you know the Empress Dowager? Her last name is also Shen."
Chen Rong said: "I know, she is from our Shen family."
"However, my father is not a direct descendant, and he has long since branched out. But my father was the top scholar in the imperial examination and became an official. The emperor, remembering that he is a child of the Shen family, has always treated him very well."
