Chapter 1508 Illusion
Chapter 1508 Illusion
Yan Ruyu walked slowly alone.
The layout of the manor was very nice, and after walking half a circle, she was quite pleased.
In this way, you can save a lot of effort and money when repairing.
The layout doesn't need to be changed, just repair the dilapidated areas and replace some green plants, and it can be brought back to life.
Before she knew it, she was back to where she had been before.
At that time, he stepped on the top of the stone beast's head and accidentally triggered the mechanism, only then did he discover that there was a buried stone chamber here.
I remember Linlang said that the stone beast here is called the "Soul-Calming Beast" and is used by the high priest of the Ming chieftain's altar.
Ming Chief and Tai Chief, these two mysterious tribes, one has a high priest and the other has a saint.
In Linlang's words, none of them are good things.
But they have perished and no longer exist.
Huo Changhe ordered this place to be reburied, and the original stone beasts disappeared without a trace and returned to the ground.
Yan Ruyu stood here, and suddenly her eyes flickered and a wisp of mist rose.
There were also a variety of sounds coming from my ears, including crying, shouting, and the sound of burning fire.
There was also the sound of someone reciting something coming from far away.
It doesn't sound like Buddhist scriptures, nor like Taoism. The sound is very chaotic, and the voice is low and full of oppression.
Yan Ruyu didn't understand, but her intuition told her that this was not a good sound.
She shook her head and squinted her eyes, trying to see clearly what was in front of her.
There were indeed fireworks ahead, as if a house was on fire, and there were swaying figures, and the sounds of crying and screaming gradually became clearer.
She walked slowly over into the fog, and was stunned by the scene before her.
There were many corpses lying on the ground, blood was all over the ground, and people were constantly being dragged out. They were struggling and crying, and some were killed on the spot and their bodies were dragged away.
A woman holding a child ran out from inside. She looked back as she walked, but Yan Ruyu couldn't see her face from her angle. She only felt that her figure was very familiar.
A large banner fell from the sky, covered with strange red words, blocking the woman's way.
She hugged the child tightly, stepped back, and looked up at the words.
When she raised her head, Yan Ruyu saw her face clearly, and it was surprisingly about 70% similar to hers.
At first glance, I really thought it was her.
Yan Ruyu was slightly startled and her heart was in her throat. She felt that she should say something, but she didn't know where to start.
She looked at the woman nervously, wondering if she could escape successfully.
The woman stepped back and another banner fell behind her.
Then, a man in a black robe came over with something like a rattle in his hand.
With every step he took, he shook the drum. The drum beat was deep and powerful. Yan Ruyu felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, with waves of dull pain.
The woman felt even worse. She covered her chest with one hand and blood oozed from the corner of her mouth.
The man in black robe had loose hair and his face could not be seen clearly. Yan Ruyu only remembered that his hand holding the drum had a black tattoo extending from his wrist, which looked like a wing.
The man in black robes slowly approached, and the woman became more and more painful.
Yan Ruyu also felt uncomfortable.
She wanted to take a few more steps forward, and in a trance, she felt like someone was calling her.
"Like jade..."
"Ruyu!"
Yan Ruyu turned around suddenly and saw the abbot looking at her with concern.
"What's wrong with you?" the abbot asked. "You look so unhappy, and you ignored me even after I called you for a long time."
Yan Ruyu didn't say anything and looked back ahead - nothing.
The fog, the woman holding the child, the man in black robe, and the banner with strange words written on it are all gone.
The abbot was a little worried when he saw her like this: "What's wrong? What happened?"
Yan Ruyu raised her finger and pointed forward: "What's in front?"
The abbot squinted his eyes and looked carefully for a while, then opened his eyes wide and looked for a while longer.
He shook his head helplessly: "There is a half-collapsed house nearby, and there should be mountains and forests in the distance. I don't know how far it is."
He glanced at Yan Ruyu and said, "Buddha said that everything is empty and false. Are you trying to test me on this?"
Yan Ruyu laughed angrily: "When did the Buddha say such a thing? I am not testing you on abstract things, but just now... I saw an illusion before my eyes."
"What vision?"
Yan Ruyu thought for a moment and said, "A woman, holding a child, wanted to escape. There were many corpses on the ground, and many people were killed. When she was about to escape, she was stopped by a man in a black robe. The man in the black robe had a small drum in his hand."
She spoke truthfully, clearly and fluently. The abbot looked at her intently and it did not sound like she was speaking out of her madness.
The abbot looked around and said, "You say, this isn't a haunted house? There aren't any ghosts here, right?"
"You are a Buddhist, and you are afraid of ghosts? Shouldn't ghosts be afraid of you?" Yan Ruyu said angrily, "Besides, there are no ghosts in the world. I am not afraid of ghosts even if there are."
The abbot touched his nose and said, "That can't be said. Both of your original bodies are dead, and we are just souls, souls from another world..."
At the end of his speech, he even trembled deliberately.
Yan Ruyu laughed angrily: "Okay, old money-grubber, now that you've seen the gold, are you relieved?"
"Well, you can say I am a money-grubber, but don't say I am an old money-grubber," the abbot was dissatisfied. "But it's really good. Hey, I am also a rich man."
"I see that Xiang Guang and the others are also working very hard. How about this? Since I have a lot of things in my space, I will leave some for them as a token of consolation."
Yan Ruyu did not object, nodded and agreed, and took the abbot to the small warehouse where grain was stored.
After putting everything away, the abbot sighed softly.
"It's getting late, so I'll go back to the farm and continue working. I'll be more energetic now."
Yan Ruyu looked back at the place where the illusion had just appeared and said to him, "Remember what I just told you. If you see an illusion someday, remember to tell me."
The abbot was stunned.
"Why else would I tell you in so much detail?"
The abbot finally understood and nodded solemnly: "Okay, I'll remember it."
Xiang Guang found the map, and Governor Cao was very satisfied with it. Yan Ruyu even asked him to bring back a gold ingot for Mrs. Cao.
Governor Cao laughed heartily, thinking that the princess could really see through people's hearts, and always spoke and acted to the heart of people.
This is probably one of the ways to control your subordinates?
You have to study hard yourself too.
Both of them were happy and left the manor together.
Yan Ruyu took the map and gave Xiang Guang a few more instructions before getting on the carriage and leaving.
Just as she was leaving, a faint light flashed under the buried ground.
In the distant Lingxu Palace.
A small stone ball in the strange model on the desktop suddenly started rolling.
The Palace Master opened his eyes and said with a smile, "Again? What a surprise."
"This is my destiny. I can't escape it even if I want to."
"I'm really looking forward to meeting you."
As soon as Yan Ruyu arrived at the gate of the mansion, she saw Huo Changhe and Xiao Chiye standing in front of the gate. There was a horse parked next to them, carrying a bundle and a water bag.
Yan Ruyu was surprised: "You're leaving now? You won't stay one more day?"
Xiao Chiye cupped his hands: "Princess."
Huo Changhe looked serious, and Yan Ruyu immediately felt that something was unusual.
"What happened?"
