Chapter 725: Legend of Ancient Sword 41
Ling Yue decided to split the troops into two groups. In one group, he would lead everyone to the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum and then visit the coast of the East China Sea. In the other group, Hongyu would escort Fang Lansheng and Xiangling, two people with low combat power, back to Qinchuan first.
Ling Yue explained to Fang Lansheng and Xiangling: "Qinchuan has the Ouyang family, the Fang family, and the Sun family. What if Ouyang Shaogong is desperate and captures Miss Fang to threaten us?"
Fang Lansheng was so nervous when he heard this, but he still couldn't believe that Ouyang Shaogong would use his second sister Fang Ruqin to threaten everyone. "Our two families are old friends. When I was a child, my second sister was a child, we played with Shaogong. He shouldn't be so cruel as to capture my second sister to threaten everyone..."
Seeing that Xiangling also agreed with Fang Lansheng's words, Hongyu couldn't help but remind everyone, "If Ouyang Shaogong was just Ouyang Shaogong, maybe he really wouldn't have captured Miss Fang to threaten everyone, but the soul inside him is half of the immortal spirit of Prince Changqin, who has been ferrying souls from ancient times to the present. Just thinking about it makes me feel that he should be able to do anything and have the ability to do it."
So Fang Lansheng took Xiangling and went with Hongyu obediently, while Ling Yue and Jiang Xinxin led the team to fly directly to the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum on flying swords.
Except for Fuqiu, everyone else had heard of the legend that there was an elixir of immortality in the Mausoleum of the Qin Emperor. But Feng Qingxue told everyone, "The Qin Emperor did send people out to sea to search for the elixir of immortality, and it was not like they had no success. In fact, the elixir they found did not completely deceive the Qin Emperor, because that kind of elixir can indeed make people immortal. But the bad thing is that this kind of elixir can make people lose their consciousness, but the body is really immortal."
"Of course, this body is not really immortal. We have an example in Youdu where a person's body was preserved for more than 300 years after taking that kind of medicine. After taking that kind of medicine, a person will become particularly fond of sunlight, but under the sunlight, the body will break into ice crystals and return to the dark place because it cannot withstand the sun, and the cycle will repeat over and over again."
Feng Guangmo's memory has not yet fully recovered, but the things he can remember happen to be the medicine that Feng Qingxue mentioned. "I remember that medicine is also collected in Youdu. Youdu calls it Jiao Ming. This medicine can not only be taken by living people, but also by corpses that have not yet rotted after death, and the effect is the same."
Regardless of whether there is that kind of medicine in the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, everyone has to go there. Jiang Xinxin and Ling Yue both had a bad feeling, especially Jiang Xinxin. She couldn't help but send a message to Hongyu to ask about the situation over there.
Ling Yue sensed Jiang Xinxin's anxiety, but could only try his best to comfort her: "Junior sister, don't worry. Ouyang Shaogong has Princess Xunfang by his side. Everyone has heard about Princess Xunfang's character. She may not necessarily help the tyrant."
However, Jiang Xinxin no longer had any hope for Ouyang Shaogong or the character of the Crown Prince Changqin. "Perhaps Princess Xunfang will not allow the Crown Prince Changqin to continue to hurt innocent people, but compared to the Crown Prince Changqin, she is still too immature after all. It would be easy for the Crown Prince Changqin to deceive her."
Therefore, the top priority now is to find Prince Changqin!
The Qin Emperor in this world was indeed the First Emperor that Jiang Xinxin knew. His mausoleum even looked the same, with treasures and formations inside that blocked the detection of spiritual consciousness. Jiang Xinxin walked at the end of the tomb and did not forget to secretly record everything he saw.
After some minor setbacks, everyone finally arrived in front of the burial pit. In front of them was an endless array of terracotta warriors. Each terracotta warrior was holding a weapon, and they were neatly arranged in this huge burial chamber. Even after thousands of years, their might was still as powerful as ever.
Ling Yue took the lead and stopped, then turned around to remind everyone, "Let's retreat first and see if there is another way out. If we activate the mechanism inside, it may not be so easy to get out."
Jiang Xinxin immediately agreed, "Yes, we are here only to confirm the whereabouts of Prince Changqin, not to steal the elixir of immortality from Emperor Qin. There is no need to cause trouble for ourselves."
However, it was too late. Three three-meter-high gates opened one after another. Leading the way was a tall pottery figurine holding a sword. He shouted, "Who are you? Tell me your name!"
Ling Yue led everyone to clasp their fists and bow their heads, "Senior, we are disciples from Tianyong City. We came to the Mausoleum of Emperor Qin to confirm whether the elixir of immortality of Emperor Qin is safe. We also want to know if anyone else has sneaked in recently."
The sword-wielding terracotta warrior softened his tone upon hearing this and said, "Since you have no ill intentions, then leave immediately. Since someone sneaked into the imperial mausoleum three years ago, you are the only ones who have visited it."
Feng Qingxue was really anxious and said, "Please confirm it again carefully. We have received news that someone wants to steal the Qin Emperor's immortality medicine. Maybe the other party will use it to harm innocent people."
Seeing that he was being questioned, the sword-wielding terracotta warrior regained his stern look and said, "What do you think this imperial tomb is?!"
"We have been guarding His Majesty for more than a thousand years, and countless people have died under my sword. Since you have no ill intentions, why don't you retreat immediately!"
Feng Guangmo wanted to say something, but Jiang Xinxin stopped him quickly. "Since the other party said that since someone came here three years ago, no one else has come here except us. I believe this. Let's go to the East China Sea as soon as possible. It's time for Hongyu to reply to the letter."
All the terracotta warriors were ready to move. Jiang Xinxin really didn't want to cause any damage, so since the other party was sure that no one else came in except them, it would be better not to waste time.
When everyone was leaving the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, Hongyu's message was delivered. Jiang Xinxin quickly opened it and saw that it said Ouyang Shaogong had captured Fang Ruqin as a hostage and asked them to exchange Yuhuang and Baili Tusu for her.
"Let's go to Qinchuan!"
Everyone flew up on their swords and headed for Qinchuan. Jiang Xinxin was really angry, and Ling Yue felt that she was really angry. When everyone landed outside Qinchuan City, Feng Guangmo immediately said that he had at least a way to find Fang Ruqin's whereabouts: "We in Youdu have special ways to find people. Although I don't have much contact with Miss Fang, as long as I can get something that Miss Fang often uses, I will be able to find her."
Feng Qingxue nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, we in Youdu do have that kind of magic. As long as we find Lansheng and get the items that Sister Ruqin often uses, we will definitely be able to find her!"
In the Fang Mansion, Fang Lansheng's eyes were swollen from crying. Seeing that everyone came over so quickly, he couldn't help but hugged Baili Tu Su and cried again, "It's all my fault. Everyone has reminded me, but because of me--"
Baili Tusu quickly interrupted Fang Lansheng and said, "Do you have the things that Sister Ruqin often uses? Youdu has a special spell to find people, you should take it out quickly!"
Fang Lansheng's face was still covered with tears. He turned around and ran to Fang Ruqin's yard, holding a quilt and handing it to Baili Tusu. Baili Tusu finally took it, but Feng Guangmo said that the quilt might not be used: "How could Miss Fang not change a seasonal item like a quilt for a month?"
Feng Qingxue was reminded of this and immediately looked at the dressing table and asked Fang Lansheng, "Look at the dressing table. Is there anything that has not been changed in at least three months?"
Fang Lansheng directly picked up the comb and brush on the dressing table, "These two are things that my second sister uses at least twice a day, and she won't replace them unless they are broken."
Feng Guangmo did not waste any time. He took the comb and brush from Fang Lansheng's hands and began to cast a spell. However, he did not expect that Prince Changqin had imprisoned Fang Ruqin in the old site of Fanyun Village outside the city.
As soon as Jiang Xinxin saw the place clearly, she flew up on her sword. Ling Yue only had time to tell everyone to wait for him and Jiang Xinxin at Fang's house before he flew out as well.
In Fanyun Village, Fang Ruqin really couldn't believe that Ouyang Shaogong had suddenly changed from a gentle and elegant gentleman to a demon who killed people without blinking an eye, so she advised earnestly: "Shaogong, since ancient times, people who pursue immortality are like crucian carp crossing the river. Even the gods in the sky have fallen. You are a doctor who has studied medicine since childhood. Why do you insist on being stubborn and stubborn?"
Knowing that Ling Yue was following her, Jiang Xinxin did not just throw him away. Anyway, the journey was less than a quarter of an hour, so Jiang Xinxin immediately activated the barrier set up by Ouyang Shaogong as soon as she landed. She raised her hand and violently destroyed all the barriers, then walked in carelessly. Ling Yue followed behind her and felt so short of breath that he even had to speak.
