Chapter 2168 The Resentful Soul Helps
Jersey was in pain when he was pressed under the saber-toothed tiger and began to sweat on his head.
The saber-toothed tiger stretched out its front paws and was about to slap it at Jersey.
"bass--"
I drew out the long sword and picked it up. I broke my muscles and bones as soon as the saber-toothed tiger stretched out.
"Then since you are unkind and righteous, don't blame me for being rude!" I shouted at the Sabertooth Tiger.
Jersey got up, took the long sword from me, and after a sway, the saber-toothed tiger was dismantled into eight pieces!
"I'm finally dead. Let's look for metal fragments in his body first!"
I gently lifted the heart of the saber-toothed tiger with a long knife and slowly cut it open. Sure enough, I found the metal fragments in the heart of the saber-toothed tiger. Then I took out the two metal fragments I had obtained before and synthesized them. Only then did I find that there were more than three metal fragments at all. In my current form, at least one piece was missing.
"There are not enough metal fragments, so it can't be combined. At least one piece is still there, so it seems we have to work harder."
After we left the tomb chamber, we turned to the right. The tomb passage was surrounded by detained resentful spirits, whose souls were looming, grabbing the iron railings and roaring.
"Let me out!"
A tomb robber was filled with strange sounds.
"Old Huang, why are there so many resentful spirits imprisoned here?" Old Huang knew the most about Queen Taixu, so he should know.
"Well... I don't know the specific ones, because the ancient books record no history, so I'm curious." Old Huang shrugged.
I turned my head to Tan Jin again, and Tan Jin didn't know, and Jersey shook his head.
"The ancient book records that Queen Taixu did a lot of good deeds during her lifetime, and was kind-hearted. In the eyes of everyone, she was like a god. But the problem is that her maid became a resentful ghost after her death, and she also told us a series of scandals about Queen Taixu doing."
"So I wondered whether these resentful souls were all those who were offended by Queen Taixu during her lifetime or those killed by her. After she died, she went to Queen Taixu's tomb to settle the score. After the people of Queen Taixu found out, they invited Taoist priests to seal these resentful spirits. Look at the talisman paper on the door." Jersey pointed to the top of the iron railing. Without saying that, she really couldn't find that there was actually a talisman paper that suppressed the foolishness above.
Jersey thought about it and said to me: "Maybe the remaining metal fragments are among these Gintamas."
"But if we release all of these resentful souls, it will definitely be dangerous. Besides, if we release these resentful souls, what should we do if we find that there is no metal in it?"
"Yes, yes, we are all in danger as soon as this resentful soul is released!" Everyone also agreed with me.
Jersey nodded, thinking what I said made sense.
"Let's first observe and observe through these resentful souls, see if there is anything to use here before considering how to take it next." I suggest.
Through these resentful souls, it seems that there is really nothing to use inside.
"Young man, please let us go. We have been sealed here for thousands of years and have lost our freedom." A resentful soul who looked like an old man grabbed the railing and said to me in a begging tone.
"You can't guarantee the safety of us if you let go." I disagree, and everyone will not agree.
"I can guarantee that we are all harmless and can help you." The resentful soul kept begging.
"Yes, yes, we are all good ghosts and we won't want to hurt you." The other resentful souls said together.
"How did you get sealed here?" I think maybe we can use these resentful souls to help us, but we still need to understand some situations.
"We are workers who built the tombs for Queen Taixu during her lifetime. We thought we could get wages after this major project was over, but we were locked up in this tomb by the people hired by Queen Taixu. We said that there was no news in this place. Anyone who had seen Queen Taixu's tomb would have to die. In this way, we had never even returned home."
"After that we starved to death here because of our lack of energy. After our death, the body rotted and turned into resentful souls and drifted everywhere. After the Queen of Taixu learned about this, she found a Taoist priest and began to summon us back with soul-summoning techniques, sealed us here, and had not come out for thousands of years."
"Apart from being on the Queen of Taixu, we have no malice to anyone. I just want you to help us. We can take you to find the whereabouts of Queen of Taixu." This resentful soul told me a lot, and I also fully understood the story. The Queen of Taixu was so despicable and her methods were so vicious, but I really believed it in this way.
I turned to these resentful souls and said, "Of course you can let you go out, but you can only come out and lead the way to find the cemetery of the Queen of Taixu and help us break the curse. If you use tricks to harm us, the talisman paper in my hand is not easy to talk to." I shook the talisman paper in my hand and said to these resentful souls.
These resentful souls nodded, so I took off the talisman paper seal from one of the tombs, put a resentful soul out, and then pasted the talisman paper back. They really didn't go back on their word.
The other resentful souls grabbed the railings and looked at them, and said to the resentful souls we released in an envious tone: "How is it, how is it feeling like coming out? Is it very comfortable? Is it a feeling of rebirth? Tell me quickly!"
The resentful soul released by us nodded, feeling very good, and told them excitedly about their feelings: "Yes, I never thought that one day I could break this seal and come out from here. This feeling is really wonderful. You guys wait, and when I help them complete the task, I will come back to save you!"
The other resentful souls nodded, and were talking about how happy this resentful soul was released and how envious they were. Some resentful souls were even moved to tears because they thought we were saviors.
"By the way, what's your name?" I didn't remember what he called.
"Oh, my name is Lin Er, just call me Xiao Er!" The resentful Hun said to us with a smile: "My parents have never read books and are not educated. It just happened that the day I was born was February 2, so my parents simply called me Lin Er!"
Listening to Lin Er's explanation, I still sympathize with him very much. He looked like he was only in his early 17 or 18 years old. He was captured by the Queen of Taixu to build a tomb from such a young age. It was really not easy to do these hard work of carrying bricks and carrying mud. His parents had been waiting for him for so long but hadn't waited for him, so they would definitely be very sad.
