Chapter 215 215. Ying Jiuge
Shi Liu looked at the two Master Bais. If the two Master Bais' guess was correct, this must be the work of the mystic master.
Shi Liu's teeth trembled at the thought of those geniuses whose fates had been tampered with, suffering such inhuman torture after death. Even if the two Master Bais had not sincerely requested her help many times, upon learning of this matter, she would still be willing to help those geniuses who had been harmed.
When I came to Phoenix Mountain again, although the weather was sunny and the grass was lush, Pomegranate could still feel the cold wind.
Zhou Pan grabbed Shi Liu and frowned as he said, "Shi Liu, are the two Master Bais sure there's no danger? Or should I go?"
Shi Liu waved her hands and said, "Don't worry, I don't need to enter the tomb. I just need to place the array plate refined by Master Bai Luohuai in the designated location, and then the array set by Master Xuanshu will be broken, and the wronged souls trapped in the tomb for thousands of years will be able to break free."
Zhou Pan was still worried: "No matter what the personalities of those wronged souls were in their lifetime, after learning the truth after death and being imprisoned for so many years, who knows what they will do after breaking free? If they lose their mind, you will be in danger!"
I have to admit that Zhou Pan’s words make a lot of sense. Shi Liu was speechless, but those who need to be saved must be saved.
In the end, Zhou Pan couldn't persuade Shi Liu and could only follow her to help.
During the Qin Shi Huang period, six was the extreme number. This sinister mystic also set up a formation with six as the extreme number. This made Shi Liu suspect that this ancient tomb first existed in the Qin Dynasty.
It turned out that Pomegranate's guess was right.
The woman who first broke free from the formation was wearing Qin Dynasty clothing, and if Shi Liu saw correctly, she was wearing the clothing of a Qin princess.
"My name is Ying Jiuge, and I am the ninth daughter of the First Emperor Ying Zheng."
Upon hearing this, Shi Liu and Zhou Pan's eyes widened. If the historical records were correct, after Qin Shi Huang died of illness on the terrace of Shaqiu Palace during his southern excursion, Hu Hai kept the death a secret. With the help of Zhao Gao and Li Si, he killed over twenty of his brothers and sisters, forced Fusu to death, and ascended to the throne of the Second Qin Emperor. Could this Ying Jiuge have been murdered by Hu Hai? But that didn't make sense. If it were Hu Hai, he wouldn't have been willing to give him the Phoenix Cave.
Ying Jiuge obviously knew what Hu Hai had done: "I was not killed by Hu Hai."
Shi Liu smiled awkwardly. It was not her fault. It was the fault of the tyrant Hu Hai who destroyed his entire clan.
Although Ying Jiuge was not killed by Hu Hai, he really did not have a good impression of him. He just spoke because he did not want to let the real culprit go.
"The one who killed me was Zhao Yu."
"Zhao Yu? Of all the famous Zhaos in the Qin Dynasty, I only know one, Zhao Gao, who called a deer a horse."
At the mention of Zhao Gao, Ying Jiuge's expression grew even uglier. "Zhao Yu is Zhao Gao's nephew. I rejected Zhao Yu's advances at first, but I never expected him to team up with Zhao Gao to kill me. He even set up a poison array, rendering my descendants useless."
After some explanation, Shi Liu realized that there was a Zhao Yu hidden behind Zhao Gao. Although Zhao Yu was not well-known in history books, he was a rare genius in the art of metaphysics. Unfortunately, he went astray and was eventually killed by backlash.
This is not the most important thing. Zhao Gao actually has a relationship with Xu Fu, and Xu Fu’s actions at the time were most likely instigated by Zhao Gao.
After learning the truth, Shi Liu suddenly felt that her filter for the First Emperor was shattered. The poor First Emperor was actually plotted against by the eunuchs he trusted.
Zhou Pan didn't think there was anything wrong. No matter how powerful the First Emperor was, he was still a human being and would be plotted against. What's more, Zhao Gao showed his loyalty. If it weren't for what happened in the end, who would have thought that he would betray the First Emperor?
"No wonder you were buried in the Phoenix Cave. It turns out you were the daughter of the First Emperor." Zhou Pan also felt that Ying Jiuge must have been extremely favored during her lifetime.
Ying Jiuge's heart was filled with melancholy. When she first learned the truth about the death, she wanted to expose Zhao Gao's uncle and nephew immediately, but before she could break free, Zhao Gao's uncle and nephew were dead, and the Qin Dynasty was also destroyed...
Many wronged souls came out one after another, and the moonlight on Phoenix Mountain seemed to dim.
Zhou Pan carefully gathered Shi Liu's coat and said to Ying Jiuge, "The stars have turned and the constellations have shifted. The Qin Dynasty has long since perished, and the uncle and nephew Zhao Gao have long since turned to dry bones. You'd better all enter the underworld as soon as possible, otherwise the underworld will keep a record of your mistakes and affect your future reincarnation."
Ying Jiuge and other wronged souls naturally knew that their enemies were dead, but this made them feel confused.
Su Yulin looked at his wife and sighed inwardly, "Jiuge, the past is over. We should head to the underworld as soon as possible, otherwise it will be bad if the Black and White Impermanence come to capture us."
Perhaps Zhao Yu intended to torture his wife. All women buried there were burned in the flames. He and his children and grandchildren, being men, were only trapped in the coffins and thus spared much suffering. Su Yulin wasn't unsympathetic to his wife, but he worried that she might lose control of her mind and suffer irreversible consequences.
Ying Jiuge was speechless for a long while: "Madam Shi, I wonder if I can stay for a while. I want to see what the world in the future is like."
Shi Liu thought Ying Jiuge's idea was quite normal. The wronged souls of Prince Rui and others were also curious about the afterlife and had wandered around before their reincarnation. Shi Liu couldn't say Ying Jiuge was wrong about the same request, but simply said, "I can't control this matter. Why don't you discuss it with the underworld officials yourself?"
Zhou Pan then said: "The underworld is not as scary as people think. For the wronged souls like you who died unjustly, some things can be accommodated." Of course, the premise is that you have no sins.
Ying Jiuge nodded calmly. After thousands of years of torture, there was nothing left for her to fear.
Shi Liu looked at Ying Jiuge's appearance and sighed in his heart. Qin Ershi Hu Hai really deserved to die, but it must be said that the descendants of the First Emperor were not all cowards. It was just a pity that they were taken advantage of by a eunuch in the end. In addition, the Qin Dynasty was too big. If there was no strong-willed emperor to succeed Qin Ershi, the demise of the Qin Dynasty would be a matter of time.
Ying Jiuge looked at her descendants with tears of blood in her eyes. The only thing that made her hate her all these years was that one after another her descendants could not withstand the torture of fire and turned to ashes. Those descendants who should have shined brightly not only had their fates tampered with, but also turned to ashes after death, without even the chance to enter reincarnation!
Shi Liu sighed deeply and said comfortingly, "Uncle Zhao Gao and his nephew committed numerous evil deeds, and were guilty of destroying their country. Even after thousands of years, I think they are still being tortured in the Eighteen Levels of Hell. If you were to go to the underworld, you might even be able to see them being punished."
She was not lying. The last time Prince Rui came back from the underworld, he told her about Emperor Feng Zheng, who had been tortured in the Eighteen Levels of Hell for five hundred years before being pardoned and allowed to enter reincarnation. And this time, he had no chance of being reborn into a good family.
The bloodshot in Ying Jiuge's eyes immediately faded: "I'm going to the underworld to see them!"
