Chapter 25 Goodbye Yuanyuan
Of course, they were stopped by the Pingyang Marquis and his wife.
Princess Anle is the eldest princess' only daughter and was granted the title of princess at an early age.
They have no concrete evidence, and if they rush over there rashly, it will be useless and will not yield any results.
It will also alert the person behind the scenes and make him/her aware of it, and then there will be no evidence to be found.
No matter how much the whole family hated it, they could only wait for the opportunity.
On the third night, the whole family had the same dream again.
This time they celebrated Mid-Autumn Festival together as a family, eating moon cakes, appreciating the moon, and playing some interesting games.
In the end, Yuanyuan said that the time was almost up and she was really going to leave this time.
This time, Pingyang Hou and the others did not wake up immediately, but realized that they were all in a dream.
Mrs. Hou couldn't bear to let her go, so she hugged Yuanyuan tightly, tears streaming down her face.
She really wanted to just follow her daughter.
Before they woke up from their dream, Yuanyuan said the last words: "Mom and Dad, brother, I seem to remember something.
My body was buried under the abandoned land temple next to the moat. Before I died, the longevity lock you gave me was still hanging around my neck. ”
As soon as these words were spoken, Pingyang Hou and his family woke up.
When they woke up, they all looked pale and sad.
As the pillar of the family, Marquis Pingyang had no choice but to stand up at the critical moment.
He quickly arranged: "Big brother, second brother, you two should arrange some people to go to the land temple to look for your sister's remains."
"Madam, I know you really want to come with me, but we have something more important to do right now. We have to go find Princess Chen first."
It was agreed at that time that I would take the jade pendant to find Wen Ling to send Yuanyuan away three days later, otherwise Yuanyuan's soul would be damaged.
Mrs. Hou really wanted to go to the land temple with them, but she could only go to find Wen Ling first.
In fact, Marquis Pingyang was worried that his wife was in the land temple, and she would not be able to bear the scene of digging out Yuanyuan's corpse with her own eyes.
I can only use this reason to get rid of people.
Wen Ling received the Pingyang Marquis and his wife at the palace as scheduled.
She let Yuanyuan say her final goodbyes to them and then opened the door to the afterlife.
Before leaving, Yuanyuan thanked Wen Ling solemnly.
The last thing she said to the Pingyang Marquis and his wife was, "Mom and Dad, I promised to give Sister Ling a lot of money, please don't let me break my promise!"
Wen Ling felt a little embarrassed after hearing this, and she could only cough twice tactically.
Pingyang Hou said: "Don't worry, I won't let my good daughter break her promise. We will give Princess Chen whatever she wants in return!"
Gao Yueyuan was relieved then. He waved his hand and jumped into the gate to the afterlife.
Mrs. Hou was reluctant to let her daughter go, but she was even more afraid that her daughter would not be at ease when she left.
She forced a smile and waved to Yuanyuan.
It was not until Gao Yueyuan walked into the Gate of Rebirth that the Gate of Rebirth slowly disappeared.
She threw herself down in the direction of the disappearing door to the afterlife, crying heartbreakingly: "Yuanyuan, my Yuanyuan..."
No one noticed that when the Gate to Rebirth disappeared, a ray of golden light struck Wen Ling's forehead.
Wen Ling only felt that her spiritual power seemed to have increased a little bit.
Although it's only a slight increase and hard to notice if you're not careful, it has indeed increased.
She knew that the power that had just entered her palm was the power of merit she had gained by helping Gao Yueyuan.
Sure enough, her guess was correct. Doing good deeds to gain merit would help restore her spiritual power!
Wen Ling was in a good mood. She comforted the grieving Pingyang Marquis and his wife: "Don't be too sad. As long as you find Yuanyuan's body and bury her properly in your ancestral tomb,
Then her fate with you will not be severed. Maybe she will be reborn as a member of your family in the future and become your brothers' daughter or even your granddaughter. ”
The Marquis's wife, whose eyes were originally dull, suddenly brightened up when she heard these words.
She grabbed Wen Ling and asked, "Really? What are the chances of being reborn again?"
"About 80 to 90 percent, as long as you are sincere enough." Wen Ling said conservatively.
Mrs. Hou instantly became full of energy as if she had been injected with chicken blood.
Marquis Pingyang felt relieved to see that his wife was in good spirits.
After thanking Wen Ling again and again, Pingyang Hou took the initiative to ask: "Princess Chen, I won't beat around the bush. You said before that you need something in return for helping us.
Now just tell us what you want us to give you, and we will agree to it, no matter what it is. ”
Wen Ling didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "I want the Xuantie Shangfang sword from your family's previous dynasty."
The Black Iron Imperial Sword was the national treasure of the previous dynasty. The legendary thousand-year-old black iron was made by a legendary craftsman who spent his entire life making it.
There are even rumors that it has incorporated the blacksmith's soul and become half a divine weapon or something.
Later it passed into the hands of several generals and was used in battle to kill the enemy.
Almost every general who possesses it becomes a famous general.
Later, there were many myths and legends about it, saying that wherever it guards, evil spirits will not invade.
After it stopped going to the battlefield, it became a magical artifact to protect the house.
During the Yong Dynasty, because Pingyang Hou had made great contributions to the emperor in his early years, he saved the emperor several times.
After the emperor ascended the throne, he directly gave the black iron sword as a reward to Pingyang Hou.
It is now enshrined in the ancestral hall of Pingyang Marquis Mansion as a family heirloom.
It is also a medal of family honor.
If you ask Pingyang Hou for it directly, he will probably kick you out.
But now Wen Ling has helped their family so much.
Pingyang Hou was even prepared for Wen Ling to ask them to side with Prince Chen in his bid for the throne, but she said she only wanted the black iron sword.
Seeing that Pingyang Hou was stunned, Wen Ling was afraid that he would be reluctant to agree, so he added: "We don't want it either, we just want to borrow it for a while, and we will return it to you after we have used it."
It was indeed just borrowed to set up a formation.
Pingyang Hou saw that Wen Ling had misunderstood, and hurriedly said, "No, no, no, you can just give this black iron sword to the princess. I'll send someone back to get the sword!"
Pingyang Hou was very open-minded. He said, "Things are dead, but people are alive. If they can be put to good use, that would be the best. If they are just left there, they will become just ordinary objects."
"And I think if the princess didn't absolutely need it, she wouldn't have asked us for it. You've helped our family so much, I hope our sword can help you, too!"
Wen Ling raised the corner of his mouth and thanked sincerely: "Thank you! It can really help us a lot!"
After a while, Pingyang Hou's men brought the black iron sword.
The black iron sword was placed in a long wooden box made of the finest century-old pear wood, which had a faint fragrance.
The outside of the box was wrapped in a thick layer of red velvet cloth.
It took two people to hold the sword.
When Pingyang Hou saw Wen Ling reaching out to take it, he couldn't help but warn him, "Be careful, this sword weighs seventy to eighty kilograms!"
Unexpectedly, just after he finished speaking, he saw Wen Ling grab the wooden box with one hand and lift it up.
The whole place was silent.
At this time, Gu Chenran, who heard the news, came in in a wheelchair from outside.
I just happened to see this scene.
Seeing Wen Ling, who was so thin that he seemed like he could be blown away by the wind, he picked up the seventy or eighty kilograms sword with one hand without blinking.
He couldn't help but open his jaw in surprise, and when the breeze outside blew, he started coughing.
The Pingyang Marquis and his wife looked at the Princess Chen, who was holding a sword in one hand, and then looked at the Prince Chen, who was sitting in a wheelchair at the door, coughing repeatedly, and was weak and unable to take care of himself...
Well, this couple is really interesting.
