The happiest person after learning that there was a lead on the whereabouts of a part of Chi You's corpse was probably the Iron-Eating Beast, Xiao Yuanyuan. She was almost impatient to have Song Mengmeng take her to find out!
If she could, she would even like to set off right now and get her hands on this part immediately!
However, Song Mengmeng decisively rejected this urgent request.
"It's not the right time yet." Song Mengmeng reached out and touched Xiao Yuanyuan's head, signaling her to be patient.
To put it bluntly, the current situation only confirms that the right arm of Chi You's corpse should be in Xijing, and that it has intricate connections with that great emperor of all time!
As for other clues, we still need to continue investigating! Completely breaking the seal and successfully obtaining Chi You's arm will be a very long process.
The first step is to determine the exact location of the arm!
"It can't possibly be in the tomb of that great emperor, can it?!" Hu Da took a sip of coffee, speaking with a hint of joking. Since things were already spiraling out of control, she might as well speculate on even more outrageous possibilities!
"It's not impossible!" Song Mengmeng rested her chin on her hand, sat behind the table, and nodded seriously, actually agreeing with Hu Da's suggestion: "Perhaps the least likely answer is the most correct answer!"
"Stop joking. If this news is true, and if Chi You's arm is really in that person's tomb, we don't actually have to go inside, do we?!"
Hu Da felt inexplicably overwhelmed.
If that's really the case, then it would be the worst possible situation!
The mausoleum of a great emperor is not so easy to enter! If we make too much noise and alert the Xuanmen people, we may not be able to live in peace for the next few days!
"Anyway, we can't draw a conclusion with the information we have yet, but Chi You's right arm is definitely in the First Emperor's Mausoleum! Maybe there are other possibilities?!" Song Mengmeng flipped through the relevant information spread out on the table, slowly raising her head to soothe Hu Da, whose emotions were starting to get a little agitated: "Moreover, even if it's in the First Emperor's Mausoleum, it wouldn't be too difficult for us to sneak in and retrieve it without anyone interfering!"
The most troublesome part is the last step.
The reappearance of Chi You's corpse, even just an arm, is enough to cause a global upheaval! So instead of worrying about anything else, we should think about how to deal with the ensuing troubles!
"Those sorcerers are nothing to fear! What I'm worried about are the forces from other sides." Having brought this up, Hu Da naturally didn't hide her deepest concern. She turned to look at the night sky outside the window, and after a long while, sighed softly, "You should know the intentions of those monsters from the Sakura Kingdom!"
Their purpose in coming to our land of flowers is to resurrect their demon god, Yamata no Orochi!
However, the Yamata no Orochi didn't have the same good fortune as Chi You! When the Kusanagi Sword was created, his body was reduced to dust and vanished. A body capable of containing the Yamata no Orochi's demonic soul is extremely rare in this world! Therefore, for many years, they have been diligently searching for a vessel that can resurrect the Yamata no Orochi!
Clearly, for them, Chi You's corpse was the best option!
"They're daydreaming!" Before Hu Da could finish speaking, Yuan Yuan jumped up and started cursing, "How dare those reptiles be compared to Lord Chi You?!"
They even dared to covet Lord Chi You's corpse; they're practically courting death!
Song Mengmeng reached out and pulled Yuanyuan to her side, pressing her down to sit in a chair. Then she continued to speak to Hu Da: "We do have evidence that shows that after Shuten-dōji and his group came to the Chinese nation, one of the key points of their investigation was the legends related to Chi You!"
However, as Yuanyuan said, even if they investigate further, their attempt to take away Chi You's body is nothing but a pipe dream!
Are these native Chinese gods just useless decorations?!
That's really going too far!
"So our primary focus right now should be on the monsters of the Sakura Kingdom! Although there is no relevant evidence yet, I have a feeling that they possess something we don't know about!"
Perhaps they already possessed other parts of the corpse of the great god Chi You?!
Hu Da stroked her chin and whispered her speculation: "Otherwise, why would they be so certain that they would come all out of their way to China?!"
"That's impossible!" Before Song Mengmeng could respond, Yuanyuan beside her decisively refuted her conjecture: "If Lord Chiyou's corpse were to appear in the world, I couldn't possibly not know!"
Moreover, in order to ensure the safety of Lord Chi You's body, the information about the whereabouts of Lord Chi You's body left behind by the clansmen who secretly followed the burial site to witness the entire process was a series of progressively different reports.
In other words, only by finding the first thread can we connect all the subsequent clues and ultimately find the entire body of Lord Chi You!
Finding only a part of it will never allow you to connect all the clues!
And the source of all this is those eighty-one evil god statues that I've been keeping safe!
Yuanyuan was always very clear about her mission! She could ignore everything else, but this was the one mission she could never forget!
This involves not only the resurrection of Lord Chi You, but also whether Tuan Tuan can reunite with her!
She and Tuantuan have been separated for thousands of years!
The only motivation that sustained it through such a long and lonely period of time was to resurrect the great god Chi You and reunite with Tuantuan!
"So, the monsters in the Sakura Kingdom might have some clues at most, but they couldn't possibly have Chi You's corpse, right?!"
After hearing Yuanyuan's explanation, Hu Da finally felt relieved. If that was the case, then things would be much simpler!
"Anyway, Chi You's body must not fall into the hands of those monsters from the Sakura Kingdom! But then again, it seems like I haven't seen any monsters like those from the Sakura Kingdom in a long time!" Song Mengmeng thought for a moment, then suddenly seemed to remember something. Her eyes sparkled as she raised her wrist and shook it, directly shaking out the Jorogumo who had been locked inside!
