Chapter 251 Huge Price
"We are here to find you." Jiang Yunxi looked straight at the other person. If she was really the female corpse, she would be quite interested in her. Meng Po said that she was a thousand years old.
He died thousands of years ago, but his body has been preserved without any changes, and he can even wake up a thousand years later. It must not be as simple as relying on the Heavenly Dao Pearl alone.
The most important thing is that this woman’s identity is definitely not simple.
"Looking for me?" Old Mrs. Liao frowned.
"Are you going into the mountains to pick wild vegetables?" Jiang Yunxi looked at the bamboo basket in her hand.
"Yes, let's go and talk while we walk." Old Mrs. Liao said as she walked towards them.
Jiang Yunxi smiled and said, "Why don't we talk about it here, or go to the ancient tomb in the mountains ahead."
Old Mrs. Liao's expression was slightly tense. "Ancient tomb?"
"Yes, an ancient tomb that has existed for a thousand years." Jiang Yunxi wanted to take her there to talk.
"I've never heard of a thousand-year-old tomb in the mountains. Miss Jiang, are you mistaken?" Old Mrs. Liao looked as if she knew nothing.
"Three years ago, a female corpse resurrected from a thousand-year-old tomb in the back mountain. Because she resurrected and broke into the village, the people in the village thought it was haunted and moved away, but the Liao family did not move."
"One day, Pei Lie ran into you while looking for medicinal herbs in the back mountains. Seeing that you were alone and seemed to have lost your memory, he helped you find a place to settle down in the manor. From then on, he would often visit the manor to bring you food, clothing, and other necessities, and tell you what kind of world this was."
"A year ago, Pei Lie went looking for you, and Pei Heng followed him. He ended up encountering a group of villains slaughtering the Liao family. Pei Heng died. If I'm not mistaken, not long after, Mrs. Liao passed away from grief over the deaths of her family."
"You took the opportunity to disguise yourself as Old Lady Liao, and lived under her identity. From then on, you helped Pei Lie guard Pei Heng's body. You are the resurrected female corpse." Jiang Yunxi said firmly.
Old Mrs. Liao listened to her words without any fluctuation on her face.
Jiang Yunxi continued, "Pei Lie died today and has gone to the underworld. He said that if he had met you again three years ago, he would still help you. He always knew that you were impersonating Old Lady Liao."
When Mrs. Liao heard this, her expression finally changed. "He, he is really dead..."
She regretted it.
She regretted not stopping Pei Lie from resurrecting Pei Heng. She allowed him to do that because she saw how much pain he was in. She helped him watch over Pei Heng's body, and she had no idea that he would kill people.
He told her that the skin was taken from dead people.
"Yes, he must pay with his life for killing more than a dozen women." Jiang Yunxi said coldly.
Old Mrs. Liao staggered a little, then turned around, feeling extremely uncomfortable. She closed her eyes and calmed down for a long time, then took off the human skin mask on her face.
She turned and looked at Jiang Yunxi and Zhan Beiyuan. It was a young, fair and beautiful face with distant mountain eyebrows, willow-shaped eyes, and a square face.
"That's right, I am the resurrected female corpse. My name is Qianheng. What do you want me for? If you want the Heavenly Dao Pearl, I won't give it to you." Qianheng stated directly.
The soul-calming coffin has been taken away.
They were still looking for her, naturally because of the Tiandao Pearl.
"You are already alive and no longer need the Heavenly Dao Pearl. Why don't you give it to someone who needs it?" Zhan Beiyuan frowned. If it were him, he would take it out to help someone in need.
"Who said I no longer need the Heavenly Dao Pearl?" Qian Heng said coldly.
Jiang Yunxi looked at her and said, "Logically speaking, if you survive, you can live like a normal person from now on. It's really not necessary anymore."
"Do you think I was resurrected only by the Heavenly Dao Pearl? After I died, my clansmen sacrificed their lives to cast a spell, and with the help of the Heavenly Dao Pearl in the Soul-Calming Coffin, I was able to wake up a thousand years later." Qian Heng said with red eyes.
Jiang Yunxi: “…”
Zhan Beiyuan: "..."
"Any resurrection requires a huge price. I would rather my people not let me wake up a thousand years later. I hope they can live well." Qian Heng's voice choked up when she said the last part.
God knows how devastated, painful and helpless she felt after she regained her memory and knew everything.
Jiang Yunxi was truly shocked. Her people actually chose to sacrifice themselves in order to revive her. "They did that because they thought you were worthy."
She remembered Meng Po saying that the female corpse was a very kind person before her death.
Qianheng turned her face away, tears welling up in her eyes. She really didn't need them to sacrifice like that. She hoped they would live well. So what if she was resurrected now?
Time has passed, and everything has changed. All her tribesmen are gone, and she is the only one left living alone in this strange world.
"Even if I give you the Heavenly Dao Pearl, you will have to pay a huge price if you want to resurrect someone. I advise you not to have any inappropriate thoughts." Qian Heng calmed down and said coldly.
It was precisely because she knew this that she did not give the Heavenly Dao Pearl to Pei Lie.
"Did you create that illusion formation?" Jiang Yunxi asked.
"Yes, I was the one who sent Pei Heng's soul in. At that time, his soul was trapped in a formation, and I took him away." Qian Heng said lightly.
"Why do you want to capture other souls?"
"I just captured some souls that had regrets in their lives. If I don't take some of these souls away, who knows what they will be captured for." Qian Heng said coldly with a frosty face.
"Do you know that someone is catching souls?"
"yes."
"Who is it?" Jiang Yunxi asked.
"A man in black robe. I don't know what he looks like, but he's quite powerful." Qian Heng said lightly. She had just recovered her memory not long ago, and the world a thousand years later was very unfamiliar to her. She didn't dare to attack the other party rashly.
Jiang Yunxi narrowed his eyes slightly, and it seemed that he was the black-robed man who was helping Pei Lie to resurrect.
"Don't capture souls with regrets anymore. Let them reincarnate as humans. Everything in the illusion is fake. Even if they disappear, their regrets will remain."
"Of course I won't let them stay there. I will disguise myself to find out about their past lives and help them fulfill their wishes." Qian Heng raised her chin slightly and said that she would not trap them to death.
Her tribesmen must have had regrets before they died. Will anyone help them fulfill their wishes?
Jiang Yunxi: “…”
So even though they didn't go in last time, Pei Heng and the others would eventually come out.
"let's go."
"Don't you want the Heavenly Dao Pearl anymore?" Zhan Beiyuan was reluctant to leave. Even if there was a price to pay for resurrection, he still wanted to hold the Heavenly Dao Pearl in his hand just in case.
"No." Jiang Yunxi shook his head.
Zhan Beiyuan said in a deep voice: "No, this king must get it!"
Jiang Yunxi grabbed his hand and dragged him away forcibly. Is he stupid? Under the current circumstances, Qianheng will not give them the Heavenly Dao Pearl. There is no need to fight.
She knew they would meet again.
Zhan Beiyuan: "..."
Qianheng watched their departing figures until they disappeared, then she walked towards the ancient tomb carrying the bamboo basket.
…
Jiang Yunxi and Zhan Beiyuan went straight back to the palace.
As soon as the two got off the carriage, Butler Bai immediately came to greet them.
"Miss Jiang, the Imperial Master sent someone here earlier. Please go to the East Palace to find him."
Jiang Yunxi was a little surprised. She hadn't gone to find the Imperial Master yet, but the Imperial Master took the initiative to find her first. She probably guessed why he was looking for her.
"I will go with you." Zhan Beiyuan looked at her and said.
"I can go alone. He won't dare do anything to me in the palace. If he dares to do anything to me, I will use my secret technique. If there is a backlash, I will let lightning strike the East Palace." Jiang Yunxi said maliciously.
