Chapter 1360
His eyes were calm.
Through the dim torchlight.
He looked at Shirley Yang struggling in the blood lake.
"See clearly!"
He shouted in a low voice.
Wang Kaixuan was anxious.
But under Huo Jilin's gaze.
He forced himself to calm down.
Carefully observe Shirley Yang's situation.
Although she was soaking in the blood-colored lake.
Her face was twisted with pain.
But strangely.
There was no wound on her skin.
Hu Bayi stood aside.
His fists were clenched white.
He knew that Huo Jilin would not stop the rescue for no reason.
But looking at Shirley Yang's painful appearance.
His heart felt like a knife cutting every second.
At this moment.
Wang Kaixuan exclaimed.
"Master Huo! Look!"
He pointed at Shirley Yang. "What is that?"
Huo Jilin narrowed his eyes.
Identified in the dimness.
I saw a black shadow rolling and struggling around Shirley Yang.
As if trying to break free from her body.
There was white gas rising around the shadow.
It gave people a gloomy and weird feeling.
"Things are not that simple."
Huo Jilin said in a heavy tone.
The three of them stared at the changes in the blood lake intently.
Except for Shirley Yang's intermittent moans at this time.
The whole tomb fell into silence.
Huo Jilin's eyes were as deep as the abyss.
He turned to Wang Kaixuan.
His voice was low and powerful.
"Shirley Yang is no longer the one we know."
"Her body has long been possessed by the soul of the life-stealing."
Wang Kaixuan's eyes were stern.
A chill rose in his heart.
He looked at Shirley Yang's struggling figure.
Suddenly he understood why Huo Jilin stopped them from acting rashly.
Hu Bayi's clenched fist trembled slightly. But Shirley Yang holds a very important position in his heart.
He must get the truth.
He strode to Qilian.
Looked directly into his eyes.
"Qilian."
"You must know something."
"Just tell me."
"What is going on?"
Qilian looked at Shirley Yang in the blood lake expressionlessly.
Slowly spoke.
"You want to know the truth? Okay."
"I'll tell you."
"This is the tomb of Princess Huayang."
"The princess died of illness when she was young."
He paused for a moment.
"But when the princess was about to be buried, a foreign man appeared - Nanxu."
"Nanxu?"
Huo Jilin repeated with a frown.
He seemed to have seen this name somewhere.
"Yes."
Qilian continued.
"He claimed to be a disciple of the Great Wizard of the Southwest."
"He proposed that the Feng Shui power of the tomb could be used to enhance the royal fortune."
"The emperor saw his series of magical methods."
"He believed him."
"And let him participate in the construction of Princess Huayang's tomb."
The three of them fell silent.
Each of them was thinking about the connection between this period of history and the current events.
After Qi Lian stopped for a moment.
Wang Kaixuan broke the silence. "What about the soul of life? Why is it attached to Shirley Yang?"
Qi Lian glanced at Wang Kaixuan indifferently.
"That's because..."
Before he finished speaking.
The whole tomb suddenly shook.
Huo Jilin reacted quickly.
"Be careful! Be careful to hide! Don't get hurt!"
He held the knife tightly in his hand.
Looking around vigilantly.
Hu Bayi was also ready for battle.
"Master Huo."
"Be careful yourself."
Just when everyone was alert.
The blood lake was shaking more violently.
The black shadow and the white gas intertwined into a vortex shape.
Rotating around Shirley Yang.
The tomb was shaking more and more violently.
It seemed to collapse at any time.
Huo Jilin held the knife tightly.
His eyes scanned the surroundings as sharply as a hawk.
Hu Bayi frowned.
His heart was full of worry about Shirley Yang. He turned to Qi Lian.
"You haven't finished yet."
"What does the soul-stealing have to do with Shirley Yang?"
Qi Lian exhaled slowly.
As if to release the secret deep in his heart.
"The soul-stealing... is a forbidden technique performed by Nanxu."
"He needs a pure woman as a medium for the spell."
Wang Kaixuan interrupted him in surprise.
"Are you saying that Shirley Yang is the medium?"
"That's right."
Qi Lian nodded indifferently.
"She was chosen."
"That's why Shirley Yang's temperament has changed so much recently."
Huo Jilin frowned and pondered the hidden information in these words.
"What did Nanxu do?"
He asked.
Qi Lian closed his eyes.As if recalling painful past events.
"Nanxu deceived the emperor."
"He had no intention of using the feng shui of Princess Huayang's tomb to prosper the royal family."
"He participated in the construction of Princess Huayang's tomb for his own selfish desires."
"He loved Princess Huayang deeply."
"He couldn't bear her untimely death and wanted to use forbidden techniques to revive the princess."
"Resurrecting the dead is against the will of heaven!"
Hu Bayi frowned.
This is against the will of heaven.
How dare Nanxu?
Isn't he afraid of heaven's punishment? Isn't he afraid of the backlash of the forbidden technique? "Indeed."
Qi Lian continued in a deep voice.
"And this forbidden technique requires the flesh and blood of living people as sacrifices."
"So he brutally slaughtered all the craftsmen who built the tomb."
"And created this blood lake."
"This lake is full of their flesh and blood."
Hearing this, the three looked at each other.
Can't help but look at the blood lake.
At that moment.
They seemed to see the densely packed corpses in the depths of the lake.
The body felt a chill.
"Then Qilian, you..."
Huo Jilin paused before he finished speaking.
Qilian knew what Huo Jilin meant by what he had not finished.
He shook his head gently.
"I am also a victim."
"Nanxu used a forbidden formation to seal my soul."
"I was imprisoned in the black box when I was dying."
Wang Kaixuan asked with a trembling voice.
"You... you said... you were in the black box..."
Wang Kaixuan heard the implication of Qilian's words.
Since he was in the black box. What was in front of him? A ghost?
All the unreasonable things about Qilian were explained.
"Seven days."
Qilian's tone was calm but revealed endless pain.
"I was tortured for seven whole days."
"I just died."
Huo Jilin looked at the black box in silence.
Such a small box.
Only children could squeeze in.
But Qilian squeezed into such a small space with the physique of an adult man.
And he was forced in when he was still alive.
The pain can be imagined.
Finally.
He lingered in the black box for seven days before dying.
Huo Jilin's heart trembled.
The black box in the center of the blood lake emitted a faint light.
It seemed to be telling the resentment in Qilian's heart.
Huo Jilin, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan were silent.
Huo Jilin's eyes moved away from the black box.
He felt an indescribable heaviness.
Qilian's words were like a shadow.
It shrouded their hearts. He looked at Qilian.
