"His life force was sealed? Who sealed it? And how do you open the tomb city you mentioned?"
"This is what Ziruo wants."
Ziruo stood up from the chair as she spoke, threw her cloak back elegantly, knelt on one knee, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and pleaded respectfully.
"Zi Ruo was still young when the tomb city was covered. It took the combined efforts of several elders to throw me out of the yellow sand."
"I hope the Hall Master can help Ziruo find the key to open the gate of the Tomb City. Save our entire city."
After saying that, he bowed again.
"So... where are the keys?"
"In Yacheng."
"Yacheng? ...Where is it?"
"...to the east of the Tomb City."
Liang Meng:.......
"So...what else do you know about the key?"
There is too little information, Liang Meng feels that this mission is very difficult!
I really want to go back to the time when I was so confident that I could fulfill my lifelong dream. Then I want to slap myself awake.
Zi Ruo was still kneeling straight on the ground, her brows slightly furrowed, her eyes clearly lost in memories as she stared at a point in the air.
In order not to disturb her, Liang Meng sat quietly in the chair and waited.
"Zi Ruo was still young at that time."
After a while, Ziruo looked at Liang Meng again and spoke.
"Although there have been some interactions with Yacheng and Wangcheng, Ziruo is not clear about the exact relationship between them and Tomb City."
"Elder Bai also hurriedly told me about the key when he asked me to leave Huangsha."
"Elder Bai's original words were: If you want to save Tomb City, find the Lord of Cliff City. Remember to be careful..."
At this point, Ziruo's tone was slightly hesitant, and her brows furrowed even more. She seemed to be trying hard to dig something out of her mind.
"Zi Ruo was certain that Elder Bai had more to say, but unfortunately, the yellow sand completely buried him before he could finish."
"Regarding Yacheng... and Wangcheng, have you never carefully asked your family elders?"
After all, even if he was not the city lord at the beginning, he was a reserve city lord. No one had ever mentioned such a major event of friendship or enmity to Ziruo.
Liang Meng expressed confusion.
"You may not know, Hall Master, but everyone in Tomb City has been training since childhood. As the next Lord of Tomb City, my training is even more rigorous. I spend most of my time training in the training grounds."
"I only go back to Tomb City for a few important festivals and my parents' birthdays."
Only then did Liang Meng realize that Ziruo had been kneeling while she said these things.
Yet his posture was as straight as a mountain, his eyes were resolute, and his expression revealed a sense of responsibility.
He stood up and walked to Ziruo, reaching out to help her up from the ground.
Liang Meng himself didn't realize how eagerly and admiringly he looked at Ziruo.
"I can see that. You're a very good person."
"Thank you for the compliment, Master."
He took a step back and bowed to Liang Meng, but his eyes were raised and his gaze drifted to the legend.
Legend didn't know what he was thinking, staring blankly ahead.
It was not until he vaguely heard Liang Meng's puzzled call that he suddenly came back to his senses.
"What did the hall master say?"
"What are you thinking about? You look so absorbed."
Chuanqi blushed at Liang Meng's teasing, bowed, and said, "Master, please forgive me."
"What's the point of forgiveness? I just told you to get ready and carefully keep Miss Ziruo's fingertip blood."
"yes."
After saying this, Legend bowed and left.
Liang Meng extended her hand and gestured for Ziruo to come in. Ziruo thanked him, walked to the chair, and sat down after Liang Meng sat down.
While waiting for the legend, Liang Meng and Ziruo chatted for a while.
Liang Meng: You just said that all the people in the cemetery had their lives sealed before they were buried?
Zi Ruo: Yes.
Liang Meng: Then... who blocked it?
Ziruo looked at Liang Meng with great respect from beginning to end, and her eyes were open and frank without a trace of concealment or evasion.
Zi Ruo: Lord of Yacheng.
This answer was beyond Liang Meng's expectations. She had originally guessed that perhaps it was Ziruo's parents or the elders that Ziruo had just mentioned who had used all their spiritual power to protect the lives of everyone in the city when the disaster struck.
It seems that there is a lot of connection between the Tomb City and this Cliff City.
Liang Meng silently kept this in mind, and when he returned to his dream, he could start his investigation from this point.
Liang Meng lowered his head and thought for a moment before continuing to inquire: What is the connection between your Tomb City and Cliff City?
Ziruo lowered her head, a trace of shame showing on her open face. After a long while, she said: Ziruo doesn't know.
Seeing the discomfort on Ziruo's face, Liang Meng nodded and didn't ask any further questions.
In her mind, there was another question that puzzled her.
Liang Meng: You just said...the cemetery was buried 100 years ago?
Ziruo: Yes
Liang Meng: Then why did you wait until now to come to Yunmeng Hall? Why didn't you come earlier?
Liang Meng was confused, and Ziruo was even more confused than her.
His heroic brows were slightly furrowed, and he hesitated for a moment before speaking.
Zi Ruo: Yunmeng Hall... hadn't been open until recently...
Ziruo's answer shocked Liang Meng so much that it felt like a mountain collapsed and the earth cracked.
According to what the legend had told her before, Yunmeng Hall had had dozens of hall masters before her, generation after generation.
And they are all women.
Why did Ziruo say that Yunmeng Hall had never been open before?
Before Liang Meng could untie the knot in her head, Chuanqi came in from the back door of the front hall holding a white porcelain bottle.
