It happened so suddenly and quickly, Xiao Ting didn't react at all, this woman died in front of her, and died to protect her.
This made her feel a little overwhelmed, but at the same time, the appearance of Xie Jingtian when he died flashed in her mind.
Her vision gradually became blurred, and then her mind went blank.
In front of the entire ancestral temple, on the sacrificial platform, a faint white mist rose, and then there was a long silence.
There seemed to be no one in the world, and there was no sound. Xiao Ting stood there, as if she saw the master walking towards her.
She called the master one after another, but the master only smiled at her, shook his head at her again, and finally walked away with a disappointed expression.
She kept asking the master, was she wrong
But the master didn't answer her at all, didn't even say a word, just disappeared...
After an unknown amount of time, a childish voice sounded next to her ear, waking her up.
Xiao Ting opened her eyes, and the sunlight was instantly attracted to her. She quickly blocked it with her hands so as not to blind her eyes.
"Sister Qing, are you awake?"
Xiao Ting sat up, only to realize that it was Er Gouzi who was calling her in front of her, with a look of anxiety and deep worry on her face.
They were sitting by the straw pile at the moment, Xiao Ting asked him, "Why am I here? What happened?"
She found that her mind was blank about what happened just now, she couldn't remember anything, it seemed like she had a long dream, and she seemed to have nothing at all.
Hearing this, Er Gouzi's face immediately collapsed, tears streaming down his face, he rubbed his eyes and said, "Mother is dead, sister is in a daze again, those people are going to burn her..."
From Er Gouzi's description, Xiao Ting got a general idea. It seemed that when her mind was blank, Er Gouzi rushed in, saw that scene, and pulled her out.
As for why those people didn't chase him, or why they didn't stop him, he didn't know.
Looking at the sun in the sky, Xiao Ting was sure that it had already passed, at least one day.
Sure enough, after careful questioning, Er Gouzi told her that she had been in a coma for three days and three nights.
"What about your mother?"
"They didn't embarrass my mother, and my mother was buried beside my father." Er Gouzi said with a sad expression, obviously he had accepted the fact that his mother died and did not investigate the cause of her death.
After Xiao Ting asked, he finally revealed what was on his mind. His mother told him that the end was approaching, and she would go to his father so that he would not have to feel sad for her.
"Sister Qing, let's go. The farther you go, the better. Don't come back here again. Daddy is right, this is an ominous place."
"They have been looking for you. We have been hiding in the wheat pile for the past few days. They didn't find you, but they will definitely find you after a long time. The great elder has great powers and can calculate everything."
Xiao Ting has heard of the art of divination and calculation, and she is quite convinced.
But what makes her strange, Great Elder, why didn't they chase her
At this moment, in a secret room in Hermitage Village, many candles are lit. Shadow and darkness are the themes here, and all the arrangements are black and white.
This is the residence of the Great Elders of the past. Since they inherited the position of the Great Elders, they are not allowed to leave their residences unless there is any serious matter.
Right now, all the important clansmen gathered together and asked about Er Gouzi's question.
And the explanation given by the Great Elder is.
"The former Great Elder was right. Xiao Qing is indeed the reincarnation of the Qing ancestor, but its original soul died before arriving here. This woman is not a person in this world. Staying away from her and letting her leave here is the best result for us."
The words of the Great Elder of Yinyi Village are like an imperial decree here, and they are more effective than the words of the patriarch, so no one disobeys them.
"Then shall we send her out?" Someone asked a question. These days they traveled according to orders, avoiding Xiao Ting and Er Gouzi, which was really inconvenient.
Now I know that the woman cannot be killed or hurt, so I want to send her away as soon as possible so that I can live a peaceful life.
The Great Elder raised his hand and stopped him, "No need."
She doesn't have to let everyone ignore it or don't give it away, no one dares to ask.
The patriarch conveyed these things on his behalf, and everyone else retreated, leaving only a few old men at the elder level to surround them.
"Elder, do you have other orders?"
The Great Elder's expression was unprecedentedly dignified. She glanced at several people and said solemnly: "The Star of Extermination has appeared, and now there is another one who is not a person of this world. The world is about to suffer a catastrophe. After you settle down all the clansmen, take the woman away, and close all the external passages, and no one is allowed to enter or exit."
When the others heard the words, they all showed horror.
"The Great Elder said that what happened this time will affect our Hermitage Village."
"This deity is just taking precautions before it happens, don't panic, this matter must not be spread."
The others left, and before they left, someone asked, "So, what about that child?"
"Don't worry about him." The Great Elder said coldly with his back to them.
After another ten days, this place seemed to be no man's land. Xiao Ting and the others wanted to avoid them, but they didn't expect that no matter where they walked, they would not meet anyone.
She took Er Gouzi and kept changing directions, trying to find a way out, but what surprised her was that, as the Great Elder said, there seemed to be a natural barrier here, and it was impossible to get out, let alone come in.
Finally, she turned to Tianpu again.
According to the people here, more than half a year ago, she fell from the top, but Xiao Ting looked up at the clear sky, the sky was bright and bright, there was only a waterfall hanging in the air and falling into the deep pool, there was no so-called cliff at all, and the end of the sky could be seen at a glance.
How did she get to this place that day, she still can't figure it out.
But she has to go.
She thought Xiao Shi and Chu Yun should go out and have a look, the outside world didn't know what it was like.
"Sister Qing, what are we looking for here? The Great Elder said that there will be no exit here at all."
After a few days of getting along, Xiao Ting asked Er Gouzi what he meant, and he had already stated that he wanted to go out with Xiao Ting and didn't want to stay here anymore.
Both father and mother were dead, and he wanted to go out to find his aunt, because his father had told him to go outside to find his aunt.
So after hearing that Xiao Ting was leaving, he immediately expressed his willingness to go out together and asked Xiao Ting to take him.
At this moment, they were wandering around the Tianpu, Xiao Ting and Er Gouzi divided into two groups and searched down the river.
The final result is that the final sources of all creeks and lakes have entered the groundwater, and there is no so-called outlet at all.
As for climbing up, she didn't even think about it.
Because there is no land on top of this waterfall, it is a sea, and there is no end in sight. It is only when the water flows here that it slowly slows down, and finally forms a sky waterfall, falling down.
Even if she can climb up, she can't swim in the boundless sea...
In the imperial study room of the imperial palace, the emperor asked Yuchi with a sneer.
"Is he still refusing to come to see me?"
Yuchi smiled wryly in his heart, but on the face he was very humble, and apologized, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the lord doesn't blame you, he just couldn't pass the hurdle in his heart."
"Those who achieve great things don't care about small things. I taught him since he was a child. I didn't expect that Xiao Jiu would be trapped by love." The emperor sighed righteously, but he didn't have much anger.
Seeing this, Yuchi secretly let out a sigh of relief.
"The matter of the Lord of Yecheng can be found out. Is he the same as that Ye Wuhua?"
"Your Majesty, the last time Xiao Ting inadvertently broke the relationship between Ye Wuhua and City Lord Ye, the subordinates have obtained definite evidence that their ancestors were all citizens of the Yue Kingdom."
Ye Wuhua and Ye Chengzhu naturally don't look like each other, Xiao Ting also made a joke that day, even she herself didn't expect it to be a prophecy.
"Okay, what a country of Yue, it's fair and honest to install the fine work into my court, and I even made him the lord of a city, so close to the imperial city, if he turns his back on him, hehe... Wouldn't my life be within his fingers?"
The emperor laughed back in anger, he did not expect that the Lord of Yecheng was actually from the Yue Kingdom.
Yecheng and the imperial city are closely connected, and the distance is only two hours by car and horse. It is no wonder that the emperor was furious. In this way, if something happened, he would be killed at the door of his house before the order to dispatch troops was sent out.
"The emperor calms down. Now it is clear that Ye Wuhua is from their side, and the important figures of the Ye family gang have also been reviewed one by one. Now that they are broken up, they can't make any trouble. Moreover, the lord of the Yue Kingdom has already repaired the book and sent a special envoy to express his apology."
Yuchi said this with chills, but felt a little pimple in his heart.
"Hmph, he crossed the country and thought that he would push a prince to take the blame, and would I believe it? It is really a strong army and a prosperous country, so he did not shy away from attacking the empire. It can be seen that he doesn't take me seriously at all."
I'm also sad that the emperor said this. As the head of the five kingdoms and ten places, other countries need to worship him every year. As the head of the country, he is naturally angry.
"Your Majesty don't need to get angry. The Yue Kingdom dared to do such a thing in such an open and aboveboard manner. It's nothing but what I heard, that rumor."
"You mean about the treasure map and jade seal?"
"I'm terrified. I'm afraid that it's not just the Yue Kingdom who have this idea. Therefore, the envoys of the Yue Kingdom came this time, and the subordinates are the masters. They have already let them rest in the post house and wait for the emperor to receive them."
"Okay, you did the right thing, you can't let them enter the palace again, last time I underestimated them."
Yuchi Xinhan continued to analyze, "But right now they are too busy to take care of themselves. After what happened last time, the Fourteenth Prince will definitely find trouble with that one when he goes back. The Lord of Yue Kingdom will definitely deal with their internal affairs first!"
The emperor let out a sigh of relief, "Forget it, this unequal national system has been going on for many years, and it cannot be resolved overnight. In the final analysis, Xiao Jiu has the foresight of this matter. If it weren't for him, the matter of Yue State would not be resolved so easily. Let him rest for a while!"
"yes."
