Chapter 753: Dominating Legacy 4
Upon hearing this, Yan Jing was stunned for a moment, then looked up and carefully examined the giant 50 meters away with one eye. Her beautiful eyebrows furrowed, "You... you know me?"
"Miss, a few days ago you fainted at the edge of the inner boundary, the white-robed man you saw was me, your king." The giant's face had no expression, but his voice was devoid of any hostility.
"Didn't I tell you last time, your husband has already escaped by jumping into the underground dark river? How did you end up here again? The aura of evil is extremely heavy here. Although you have the protective charm given by your senior to guard your heavenly soul, it's still best to avoid appearing in such places."
"Are you really the White Robed General Zhou from back then?" Yan Jing gazed at the giant with suspicion, "But last time..."
"Are you referring to my appearance?" The giant continued, "When I fight, I absorb the bodies of my subordinates into mine. You saw it last time with the 500 men. They were my subordinates when I was alive, and even in death, they willingly follow me. This place is special, our souls still exist, and our corpses grow stronger every night by absorbing moonlight. As a result, after I absorb them, my strength will increase, but because my original corpse couldn't withstand such powerful energy at first, I would transform into this form after absorption."
This explanation left him stunned and bewildered for a while, and after the shock wore off, he was somewhat perplexed as to why General Zhou would explain these things to him.
It seems like he saw Yu Jing's doubts, so the giant continued, "Miss, are you wondering why I would tell you these things?"
Yan Jing didn't say anything, she just looked at the giant from afar.
The giant, however, turned around and walked towards the second layer of the boundary. When he arrived at the location of the boundary, his body suddenly emitted bursts of light. In just an instant, the three-meter-tall giant shrunk to about 1.8 meters in height, but in front of him, a dense cluster of pale-faced men appeared out of thin air as if by magic.
"Everyone, let's go into the tomb. Just now, we've all consumed a lot of energy in that battle." The man in white ancient costume waved his hand.
"Your Majesty, at this moment it is noon, although we are under the seal, there still exists a certain degree of danger."
"Brother Li, go ahead, I can take care of myself."
After that, the white-robed ancient costume man flashed in front of Yan Jing, his expressionless face quietly looked at Yan Jing for a while, but then he lightly sighed, "I was overthinking, last time you came here I knew it wasn't you, but I still didn't give up, alas, this time what I see is really not."
The sentence suddenly stunned Yan Jing, but before she could ask, the white-robed ancient costume man Zhou Jiangong continued, "Miss, has your senior not returned yet?"
Yan Jing shook her head, "General Zhou, I came this time just to ask you, do you know where that underground dark river leads to? Also, which river does it belong to?"
"This" General Zhou shook his head humanely, "Sorry, I've been in this grave for over 300 years and have never left this place half a step, really can't answer the young lady's question."
Yan Jing was taken aback for a moment, and after careful consideration, she indeed found it to be the case. She smiled wryly, shook her head, and after slightly bowing to General Zhou, she wanted to leave this place.
At this time, General Zhou stopped her and said, "Miss, please stay."
"Hmm?" Yan Jing turned around, "General, is there anything else?"
"It's like this, putting aside the issue of time, you and I are actually from the same clan. And that man named Ge Feng who just appeared, he colluded with outsiders to come to our clan's territory and plot evil deeds. Please find a senior and inform them of what happened here, I believe they will have an appropriate way to handle it."
Yan Jing was stunned by Zhou's words, and it took her a long time to react. For a moment, Yan Jing opened her beautiful eyes and carefully examined the ordinary-looking Zhou Jiang in front of her.
"General Zhou, do you believe me?"
The humanized location nodded, and the white-robed anciently dressed man said, "Miss, I believe in the righteous energy on your body."
"What is 'Justice Energy'?" Yan Jing was stunned for a moment, then immediately summoned the Tianhun amulet on her forehead. Suddenly, golden light enveloped everything, and even Bai Zhou Jiangjun, who was standing in front of her, involuntarily retreated ten steps back.
"Huh?" After Yan Jing summoned the Tian Hun Fu, she discovered that it was slightly different from before. She reached into her body and pulled out a small, exquisite mirror. Yan Jing immediately looked at her own brow with it.
"Changed?" Yan Jing muttered in a daze, "How did it turn into a golden lotus flower?"
Yes, the mole between her eyebrows had transformed into a golden three-leaf lotus flower. If one looked closely, they would discover that the breathtakingly beautiful three-leaf lotus was slowly rotating.
The beauty mark turned into a three-leaf golden lotus, causing Yan Jing's temperament to become holy and inviolable after summoning the talisman. Such beauty, how can it be expressed by worldly words?
"Miss, please put away the amulet, it has unimaginable harm to our yin evil spirits," General Zhou in white robe retreated a few steps back and said urgently, shaking the air.
Upon hearing this, Yan Jing nodded lightly, feeling joyful in her heart but remaining calm on the surface. "General Zhou, is what you're referring to as 'righteous energy' this?"
"It's true," General White Robe said, slowly walking forward a few steps after seeing Yan Jing collect the Heaven Soul Badge. "Although I didn't see you in person at the tomb back then, the seal left on my sword by Senior was exactly the same as the energy you just used.
This energy is extremely harmful to our yin spirit bodies. When you fainted at the second boundary, I sent someone from my sect to send you out of the boundary, but as soon as our yin spirit bodies touched your body, we were attacked by your protective charm, and my subordinate almost lost his life.
Later, I discovered that the energy on your body is the same as the energy on my dagger. When I took out the dagger, I saw that the seal on it automatically gathered towards you, so I thought you were like Senior and had also obtained a great opportunity.
"A great opportunity?" Yan Jing was stunned for a moment, "Perhaps it is, this amulet was given to me by my husband after he changed my fate against the heavens."
"This kind of righteous energy, if the owner does not have a mind full of great kindness, no one can drive it." White Robed General Zhou said affirmatively, "It's precisely because of this that when I saw this kind of energy in you at first, I didn't retreat. Because I knew that people with great kindness in their hearts have already seen through good and evil. Even though we are ghostly spirits, we never go out to harm people. We only absorb the moon's essence within our own domain."
Here is the translation:
At this point, General Zhou let out a faint sigh, glanced at Yan Jing, and his voice shook the air as he said, "The biggest reason we still exist now is that we are waiting for her to appear, but I don't know if we can really wait until then."
With a sigh, turning around, General Zhou seemed to be filled with sadness, and as he walked, the air was lightly resonating with that eternal and unchanging melody.
"Petals fall from the sky, blocking the moonlight. Borrowing a cup to toast the Phoenix Tower, the heavenly daughter's flower is tearfully fragrant. Wishing for a lifetime of gratitude to repay my parents."
"I wish to be buried together, as a pair of mandarin ducks side by side, and in the underworld, to find again that peaceful Yangmen Street. I am grateful for the emperor's kindness, which is as deep as a thousand zhang, and with my wife, we will pay our respects to the emperor together."
The sound is low and mournful, like a song sung in a whisper, but more like a lament.
Mournful and desolate, longing for each other, the autumn waters are empty and sorrowful, with white hair, sighing at the bitter pain, solitary guarding for three hundred years, waiting to be together again in the next life.
Yan Jing quietly watched General Zhou enter the boundary, listening to the lingering song in the air, she fell silent.
From the song, she heard intense nostalgia, heard the hatred of a broken nation, heard the revenge of a ruined family, heard the unrequited love that transcended life and death, and even heard the imperial daughter!
At this moment, Yan Jing's pupils suddenly lit up, "Ming Dynasty General Zhou, Imperial Concubine Hua, national hatred, family feud, life and death love, isn't it him?"
At this thought, Yan Jing's heartbeat suddenly increased by a few beats. She stared at Zhou Jiang who had already entered the second boundary, and didn't turn back for a long time, until the "fake mountain wall" of the second boundary reappeared, completely blocking her line of sight.
"Love." Yan Jing whispered softly, "Wait for three hundred years, before dying, we vowed to meet at the Lingquan Spring, and in the underworld, all eyes were red, continuing from the Pingyang Gate Alley." As she spoke, a crystal tear suddenly fell from Yan Jing's beautiful eyes. "General, I believe she will eventually appear, reincarnation after reincarnation, you waiting for three hundred years is enough to move heaven and earth, her life was filled with countless sorrows, all because she was born in a dying country."
She turned around and stepped quietly into the fog.
Yan Jing did not return to H City, but instead followed along the Fujiang River basin in search of Wu Zhengye's figure.
She found from the map that the river closest to Hong Village was indeed Fujiang River, and the other two rivers in Sanjiang of H City were not. In this direction, the greatest possibility is Fujiang River.
Ge Feng spat out a mouthful of blood as soon as he and Zhou Yun escaped from the fog barrier, and the gray stone he had swallowed was also spat out, but it shattered into powder as soon as it came out.
At this point, Zhou Yun's expression solidified, and her hand behind her back slowly clenched before ultimately relaxing.
"Master, are you alright?" Zhou Yun asked with concern as she supported Ge Feng.
Ge Feng shook his head, a pale face covered in dirt and grime, but his pupils were clear and bright, even revealing a hint of murderous intent deep within his eyes.
"Xiao Yun, come, help me onto the carriage. I need to return and recuperate in seclusion. This time's injuries are too severe. If not for the ancestral bones' assistance, perhaps by now I would have already died inside."
"It's actually an ancestor's skeleton!!" Zhou Yun's heart tightened, thinking to herself, "Could it be that Ge Feng's ancestors were really the Eastern Jin dynasty's Ge Hong?"
