Chapter 78 Willing to be buried with him, guarding him for a hundred years after death
"My son, come here, come to your mother." The snow ghost stretched out his hand towards the child in Chen Qinghuan's arms and called out.
Chen Qinghuan stepped back holding the child, terrified, but did not let go of her child. "Who are you? This is my child. What prince?"
"You dare to snatch my prince? You don't want to live anymore. Come, capture her for me." The Snow Ghost was aggressive, with the style of an ancient queen.
As soon as the Snow Ghost finished speaking, several huge snowmen slowly emerged from the dense crowd. They looked like soldiers wearing armor and holding weapons in their hands.
They stepped towards Chen Qinghuan with great momentum.
Nan Xiaoxiao quickly stood in front of Chen Qinghuan and the others, bowed respectfully and performed the royal etiquette of the previous dynasty, "Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen.
We are truly sorry to have disturbed your peace, and we hope you can understand the feelings of a parent who has lost their child for six years."
"That is my prince, the apple of my eye. Whoever dares to take him away will be killed by me. Get out of the way, or I will catch you too." The Snow Ghost was furious. She roared, and the earth shook and the snow-capped mountains rumbled.
The child cried out, "I want to go with my mother. I don't want to stay in the tomb anymore. It's so cold there. My whole body aches. I don't want to go there."
"What did you say?" the Snow Ghost screamed, dark red blood seeping from his eyes. "Isn't Mother good to you? Why don't you want Mother anymore?"
Nan Xiaoxiao took out a yellow talisman and threw it into the air. It instantly caught fire, and the flames grew more and more intense...
She looked at the Snow Ghost through the flames, only to discover that she was wearing the queen's brocade robe and a phoenix crown. She had a spacious palace and a full forehead...
After taking a look, Nan Xiaoxiaoxiao said, "Because the child is dying!
Your Majesty, you have been dead for a hundred years and buried for a hundred years.
Your body hasn't decayed because your coffin was made of thousand-year-old jade, and your burial objects in the ancient tomb also contained numerous jades. After your death, your soul didn't seek reincarnation, but remained in this tomb because you wanted to be with the one you loved most.
You helped many poor people during your lifetime and were a very kind person. You had no resentment after your death, so you did not turn into a ghost even after a hundred years of death.
Your ghost can control your body, allowing you to wander freely in the ancient tomb below and live like a normal person.
If you want to come out, you must wrap yourself in ice and snow. The properties of ice and snow are natural spiritual jade, which can protect your body from rotting when encountering yang energy and keep your ghost and body inseparable.
But have you ever thought about this? You can do this, your soldiers can do this, but no matter how smart this child is, he is still a living person. If he always stays with ghosts like you, his life span will be shortened, and he will be full of negative energy. It won't be long before he dies of depression.
Do you want to see him die? When a child grows up, as a father, you have to let go, because you want him to have a bright future, not to die slowly under your control, right?
The Snow Ghost slowly sat down on the ground and began to sob. The snow wrapped around her body slowly seeped out blood. "But he is my hope. Six years ago, someone led him into the tomb, and I saved him.
Since then, I have been raising him well. Over the years, I have long regarded him as my deceased son.
I can’t bear to do that!”
Upon hearing this, Chen Qinghuan hurriedly asked, "Who was it? Who took him to the tomb? And why did they take him to the tomb?"
"He was a tomb robber. He said that if he killed a baby as a sacrifice to the ghost, he would be able to successfully rob the tomb and escape. He was foolish. He was killed by the tomb's traps and arrows."
Lin Yuean and his wife knelt down and kowtowed to the Snow Ghost, "Thank you, Queen, thank you for saving our child and raising him, thank you.
In the past six years since I lost my child, I have also lost half of my life. Please give him back to us, okay?
I would like to thank you for everything I have done.”
"Empress Mother, please, I don't want to stay in the gloomy tomb. I want to go home with my mother. I will come to see you every year. Please." The child pleaded pitifully in a childish voice.
The Queen Mother ordered her troops to retreat.
Nan Xiaoxiao said, "Go and reincarnate, don't wait here. The one you love has already reincarnated, and all you are guarding is the emperor's body. Why bother!"
Upon hearing the miserable sneer, Snow Ghost sneered, "The Emperor and I were childhood sweethearts. I have been with him since I was young, but later, he had three thousand beauties in his harem. It became a luxury for me to stay with him every day.
I had our own prince, but he died before he was born.
The way he looked at me was so strange.
That year, he died young, and I resolutely committed suicide to be buried with him. I wanted to be with him..."
"Empress, you value friendship and loyalty, and are kind to the people. You will surely be well-treated by the King of Hell in the underworld. What is your blessing? Why do you want to trap yourself here?
Wouldn't it be better to reincarnate, start a new life, and forget about this?!" Nan Xiaoxiao advised.
