Chapter 1203 The Returnee's Notes 277
If she really wanted to kill someone, then the man from before wouldn't have been able to leave this place, and he even brought people back in.
This time, she just wanted to scare these people away.
“But I saw you blow open the tomb door with a very small thing. If I take them away, I want you to destroy a few places.”
If you need some money or valuables, that's perfectly acceptable.
She has guarded this place for thousands of years and has seen countless tomb raiders. She has driven most of them away. As for those who died underground, she does not need to kill them herself. The traps set in the tomb are enough to keep those tomb raiders alive.
Human beings reproduce and continue to thrive.
But she cannot live forever. Over thousands of years, her soul will wear down, and if she wants to continue to exist, she needs to be replenished by other souls.
This was not what she wanted.
So even if she doesn't leave this world voluntarily, she won't last long anyway; nothing lasts forever.
She couldn't bear to be indifferent to herself and the corpse of the person in the tomb, so she wanted to destroy this place before she completely disappeared.
Xie Ning was about to nod. He didn't care about the money; he just wanted these ghosts to let go of their obsessions and leave. Otherwise, it would be very troublesome.
The next instant, Qing Nu carried Xie Ning and floated to the front of the mural. "There's another thing. There's a remnant soul hidden inside. I need you to help me find it. After all, you're good at this, aren't you?"
Xie Ning glanced at the people on the ground; in truth, she had no choice at all.
Fortunately, this ghost was not a mindless or only slightly conscious evil spirit.
Looking at the mural in front of him, Xie Ning was about to take out his Bagua compass when the female ghost pulled him inside the mural.
Previously, the indoor lighting was dim, and she couldn't see what was painted on the murals. Now that she had entered the murals, it was as if she had suddenly jumped into ancient times, except that the people inside were all flat and had a strange painting style.
But Xie Ning wasn't afraid.
At this moment, they were standing on the city wall, with the sound of drums beating and the sounds of fighting below reaching the sky.
"I'm looking for her." Qingnu pointed downwards, and one could see a general in heavy armor, holding a spear, fighting among the enemy troops.
"I searched for a long time, but I couldn't find her remnant soul..."
Xie Ning glanced at the armor's design and couldn't help but ask, "A female general?"
Qing Nu stared intently at the figure below the city wall for a long while before she came to her senses. Then she slowly nodded, "She was my close friend Ling Qian. It's a pity she died on my way to bring reinforcements. By the time I arrived, her body was already mangled..."
Therefore, the soul is incomplete.
Who could withstand the iron cavalry of Qin? Not to mention that their country was a small one, which is why she had to marry into another country in hopes of uniting with it to protect her own.
But all of it was in vain.
She had glimpsed the future before that, but her father did not believe her.
Even though she was a fortune teller, she was also a priestess who presided over the ceremony.
Lingqian believed her, but Lingqian said that even if the king believed her, it would be useless. Does knowing the future mean we shouldn't make any efforts? Besides, it was just a predicted future, not a certainty.
The small country of Li was caught between two great powers and struggled to survive. Every step it took was cautious, because if it was not careful, it would either be swallowed up by one of the great powers or by the other.
Even if they favored Qin, wouldn't other countries use this as an excuse to annex them?
In the end, the country was destroyed just as she had predicted.
She brought reinforcements, but they were not only a step too late, but the commander of the reinforcements, seeing that the Li Kingdom had been destroyed, was unwilling to take another step forward. Even if the commander wanted to, Qing Nu was unwilling.
The general was merely trying to take advantage of the situation and carve out a piece of flesh from the Qin state.
She no longer wanted to be involved in these disputes.
He led his men back alone to the capital city that had been occupied by the Qin army.
"...At that time, there were countless people with extraordinary talents. I was just the most inconspicuous one among them. In the end, I could only rely on this little ability to exchange for a chance to be buried."
Her father, mother, queen, and brother all died on the day the city fell.
Lingqian's father and brothers all died in battle, and she fought to the very end, spear in hand and horse on horseback.
"I brought her into the royal tomb out of selfish motives."
For some unknown reason, she remained conscious after death and did not leave this world; perhaps she had some lingering attachment.
Ling Qian also stayed behind, but her soul was incomplete, and she couldn't find the missing fragment of her soul.
The surrounding scenery kept changing as Qing Nu narrated, including scenes of Qing Nu's sacrificial rites and scenes of her and Ling Qian going on a spring outing.
The murals here depict the story of Qingnu and Lingqian from their childhood acquaintance to their close friendship, and finally to their tragic ends, one dying in battle and the other committing suicide.
