The grudges of Dongling
The formation was broken? Jiang Jingyuan, half asleep and half awake, heard this and immediately became alert.
Her half-closed eyes suddenly opened wide and looked not far away.
In that vast expanse of land, the invisible and majestic aura dissipated at some point.
It was indeed... the layers of mausoleum protection formations were broken.
Jiang Jingyuan was a little surprised. This was Dong Ling's formation, and it was broken in just two days?
It seems that she has found the right person in Longyin Pavilion.
As she thought about it, she looked towards the group of people not far away. The group of people, dressed in dark and dull clothes, stood still with their backs to her.
Jiang Jingyuan nodded secretly with satisfaction, then decided to dig it up and take a look.
"thump!"
In the blink of an eye, three or five people in the group suddenly became shorter.
Jiang Jingyuan was stunned and looked down.
The gray-brown figures fell to the ground, their hands and feet struggled a few times, and then fell to the ground powerlessly with a "bang", motionless, all of them... sleeping peacefully.
One of them slowly turned around, staring at him with a pair of lifeless eyes covered in bloodshot. He forced himself to speak, word by word, with difficulty: "Employer, a few of us will go ahead this afternoon to explore the route."
Jiang Jingyuan: "..."
During the two days she was asleep, she thought these people would work for a while and then rest for a while, but it turns out that they didn't rest at all...
"We'll dig again tomorrow morning."
Jiang Jingyuan said calmly.
It's just one day. Although the ancestor of the Zhao family said that "there will be endless troubles", it's not so urgent that there is no time to rest for a day.
When the situation becomes so urgent, there is no time to rest even for a moment.
So go and rest, have a good rest, and don’t make mistakes at the critical moment when you get to the field.
Everyone in Longyin Pavilion was stunned, then quickly agreed and went to rest.
——There’s nothing I can do. This time, the employer gave me too much.
They always have to work harder so as not to make their employers feel that it is not worth it. It doesn't matter if they have to work harder, they can be hired again next time.
Unexpectedly, this employer is quite easy to talk to.
Unlike some employers in the past, who paid little but were eager to make the best use of the money, and in the end were wary of them openly or secretly.
If it were like in the past, these old hands wouldn't work non-stop day and night. They would have been dawdling and leaving themselves some time to rest.
"It seems that at least the employer won't make some ridiculously stupid demands for this mission," everyone thought. "This will be a lot easier."
Everyone closed their eyes, and in the last moment before their consciousness sank into the mire, they all thought to themselves:
"I hope this employer is lucky... Run faster and don't get caught by the people of Yuan Country..."
Otherwise, given the madness of the royal families of various countries... no matter who protects him, they will chase him to the ends of the earth.
They were resting.
Jiang Jingyuan left the rocking chair and wandered aimlessly in the mountains.
"I didn't expect that..." Jiang Jingyuan muttered to himself.
But you really didn’t expect it?
What exactly is the destined arrangement?
That is, before that point in time, even if I saw, noticed, and guessed it over and over again, I would never have the urge to explore it.
Not at all.
I have seen it countless times, but I forget it every time.
And once that destined time point arrives, even if I don’t see it again, I suddenly have a strong urge to find out what’s going on.
Thinking about it day and night forces me to go.
Even if you regret it, why not explore it all earlier, why not nip the hidden dangers in the bud earlier.
You should also know that people cannot take action until that time comes.
So that's how it is. I suddenly understand.
Looking back, everything echoes and connects from beginning to end, just like the foreshadowing of life, and everything is complete at the end of a certain period.
In the early morning, under the growing sunlight, a girl in white stood among the rolling hills.
She looked fifteen years old, and apart from her memories, she was indeed fifteen years old.
Jiang Jingyuan curved his eyes.
A pair of eyes that had been dark and lifeless for years suddenly sparkled with joyful stars.
After a few moments, she regained her composure and blinked her dark eyes slowly.
Dongling, it’s both unexpected and not unexpected, there’s no way to avoid it.
Almost at the same time as she heard the words of the Zhao family ancestor, she understood his identity and why he wanted to...
It could barely be considered a reminder, and she understood why he reminded her.
But what do those grudges have to do with her?
Not to mention that those people died early and had no descendants, even if she was the descendant of one of them, there was no reason for her to get involved in those grudges without any benefit.
Is she some kind of sucker?
Jiang Jingyuan... no, it was since Jiang Yunshu that he became very lazy and tired.
If it weren't for fate, if it weren't for something I still wanted...
Jiang Jingyuan felt that he was probably still lying somewhere, snoring.
…………
The next day, the sky suddenly brightened.
Everyone in Longyin Pavilion was in high spirits, staring at the vast land ahead with fiery eyes.
Start digging!
This is the Eastern Tomb of Yuan State. I will have no regrets in my life if I dig it once!
Everyone grabbed various magical instruments and swarmed forward.
However, even though this employer seemed quite capable, they did not dare to really turn Dongling upside down.
Just be careful, just enough for someone to go down and take a look.
Grunts and bangs, ping-pong...
Two hours later.
The sunlight in the sky became dazzling and warm, casting a golden glow.
"employer."
Seeing the girl in white approaching, a member of the Longyin Pavilion said sternly, "If you're not in a hurry, let's send someone down to explore the way first."
Jiang Jingyuan said "hmm".
Everyone in Longyin Pavilion secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and they said that this employer was very simple.
If it were some employers in the past, they would be afraid that they would go down first under the pretext of "exploring the way" and secretly take things. If they agreed to go down together, those employers would start to worry about their own safety.
I was worried about this and that and couldn't make a decision for most of the hour.
This would be much simpler and easier to handle… Thinking of this, six people were sent out from Longyin Pavilion, tied with spiritual ropes, and went down the tunnel first.
Jiang Jingyuan stood not far from them, watching quietly.
As long as they do what they should do well and as long as they don't mess up the really important things, they can be greedy.
As long as she gets what she wants, they can turn a blind eye to the rest and both of them will be relaxed.
At the edge of the tunnel, several figures dressed in gray-black and gray-brown clothes were squatting, with the other end of the spirit rope tied around their wrists, and their expressions were focused.
In the quiet space between heaven and earth, beneath the tunnel, the rustling sounds of crawling and fabric rubbing against each other could be heard, going down, down...
Looking inside from outside the tunnel, the last piece of gray-brown, mud-stained clothing swooshed into the darkness.
All that was left was rustling sounds and people's responses.
Gradually it became distant and faded.
Everyone was very patient.
Not far away, Jiang Jingyuan was watching this scene, unconsciously in a daze. Suddenly, she thought -
Now that she's here, why make her go through so much trouble? Just send her directly to where she should go!
Jiang Jingyuan raised his head and looked around, trying to wait for someone to pick him up.
After a long while, she turned her head away expressionlessly.
Okay, no.
Xu Qinglin saw what she was thinking: "..."
Xu Qinglin said, "Haha,"
"Even if there is such an image, you have to respond to it. Otherwise, why don't you just ask them to send you to perfection when you are born?"
Jiang Jingyuan had a blank expression on his face, but in reality, the tone in his mind was filled with grief as he screamed—
"I actually hope they can send me to immortality directly!!!"
Xu Qinglin immediately gave her a slap on the head and said, "You're just daydreaming." Then he said unhappily, "You'd better live longer before you think about this."
After all, this was something that he had been pursuing for hundreds of years as both a human and a ghost. Now that someone was saying it as if it were a joke, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
Jiang Jingyuan said "Oh" and said nothing more, and carefully put it back to the side of the tunnel.
"Old Five!"
"Yes! Still digging!"
"Old Five!"
"exist!"
People inside and outside the tunnel responded to each other.
The sounds coming from the tunnel became smaller and smaller, and the only sounds of people responding were rustling.
The six spiritual ropes trembled slightly, indicating that people were moving in the tunnel.
"Old Five!"
The man on the ground looked bored, but he continued to shout.
"Rustle, rustle—" There was a faint voice.
moment.
"Old Five!"
"Rustle, rustle—"
moment.
The man on the ground squatted, holding the spirit rope in one hand and taking a big gulp of water in the other, and shouted:
"Old Five—"
He drank the water again, sip by sip, keeping track of the time.
moment.
He shouted: "Old Five——"
"etc!"
A serious voice suddenly sounded behind him, startling him and making him look back.
Everyone from Longyin Pavilion gathered together.
He was stunned for a moment, then reacted, his face changed, and he turned around and shouted towards the tunnel:
"Hey! Down there—Old Five! Old Five! What's going on down there?!"
"Answer me, Lao Wu! Have you dug to the bottom?"
No response.
Everyone paused, their expressions slightly stiffened, but they still moved closer to the tunnel and shouted:
"Xiao Xu! Xiao Xu! How are your brothers?!"
The sound echoed in the dim to dark tunnel.
Even after the last echo faded away, no response came from the darkness deep within the tunnel.
Everyone looked at each other, paused, and then looked at the person standing behind them.
Jiang Yi pondered for a moment, then nodded to them and said, "Pull it up and let's see."
The people with spiritual ropes tied to their wrists immediately turned around and grabbed the ropes to pull them back.
This is the Eastern Tomb of Yuan Kingdom. There is nothing weird or dangerous here. That's what I call really weird.
Therefore, everyone remained calm.
Jiang Jingyuan and the maids watched without saying anything.
Just like the saying goes, if you don’t understand, let someone who does understand do it - she only looks at the results.
This made everyone in Longyin Pavilion feel a lot more relaxed, and they focused on watching the spirit rope that was gradually getting shorter.
They helped the six people tied with the spirit ropes to pull frantically, feeling the obvious weight on their hands, and shouted:
"Old Five! Old Five!"
The sound echoes.
But only their voices echoed.
Everyone's faces were solemn, and they pulled the ropes faster and faster.
"thump!"
A group of three people suddenly fell backwards to the ground.
Everyone looked over and saw his hands moving non-stop.
The three men fell to the ground, their faces filled with panic, their hands still holding the spiritual rope.
The spirit rope is loose.
