With his ankles, he could imagine that someone had set the fire deliberately. Looking at the huge footprints of the monsters on the ground and the mountain road pushing all the way from the top of the mountain, as soon as Ye Congwen closed his eyes, the miserable scene of the monsters rushing around emerged.
The most powerful among the giants are only in the Expansion of Muscles and Pulses realm, and they have fought against wild-level monsters at most. Once they encounter high-level monsters, or even Yu-level flying tigers, or flaming-eyed golden-eyed beasts, how can they resist?
What's more, the crown prince Liang Ying, a traitor to the human race, is deliberately seeking revenge. Ye Congwen looked up at the Wanqing Palace opposite, and found that the smoke above the Wanqing Palace was much smaller, and it was probably not burning.
There are more than a hundred child brides and more than two hundred little maids. Maybe some people just fainted? As long as they are rescued in time, maybe a few lives can be saved.
Ye Congwen turned his head and glanced at the giant wooden house that had been burned into a sea of flames. When he got closer, his hair and eyebrows began to curl.
The fire was ruthless, and even if he was strong, it was of no use at all. He could only watch these wooden houses burn to ashes.
Ye Congwen gritted his teeth and flew to Wanqing Palace, trying hard to suppress the anger and grief in his heart, and devoted himself to saving and finding people.
There are many parts of Wanqing Palace built with stone, unlike the wooden houses with pure wooden structure of the giants, which can burn and explode as soon as they burn.
Ye Congwen touched the hot stone pillars and used Liuhe Bahuang Jue to knock the stones away, slowly clearing a path while shouting the names of Pigeon Sprouts and Lin Xiaoyu.
After clearing the hall, no body was seen, and Ye Congwen's heart suddenly felt cold. If there are no bodies among the three or four hundred people in Wanqing Palace, there is only one possibility:
Even the child bride and maids were eaten by monsters!
When he thought that Bian Wanqing didn't even leave any footprints, and even took off his own jade, Ye Congwen immediately understood Bian Wanqing's intention.
It turns out that she was also swallowed by a monster! It was precisely because he was afraid that he would not be able to find her that he deliberately took off the jade and stuffed it among the fallen leaves.
When he thought that Jia Zhenzhen and Murong Lian might have been treated the same way, Ye Congwen felt angry, but he was powerless and shouted frantically the names of Douya Yalin Xiaoyu and even Bian Wanqing.
The force on his hands became stronger and stronger, causing the stone to break into pieces and smoke flying everywhere. When I was desperate and helpless, I suddenly heard an extremely weak and powerless voice:
"Brother Congwen, is that you?"
Ye Congwen heard the slight noise and immediately replied excitedly:
"It's me, sister Douya, sister Xiaoyu, are you all still alive?"
"Brother Congwen, where are you? Why can't I see you? Have we all entered the Nine Netherworld?"
Ye Congwen recognized that the sound was from the pigeon sprouts. He carefully moved away various stones and wood while comforting the pigeon sprouts. It took him a full ten minutes to dig out the pigeon sprouts.
The little girl's face was pale and she was very angry. Her legs had long been broken by boulders. She slowly got up with her hands on the ground.
Ye Congwen stepped forward and hugged the pigeon sprouts. When he pinched the pulse, he knew it was a sign of recovery.
"Brother Congwen, why is this Wind Chime Princess so unreasonable, cruel and vicious? I dismissed one hundred and twenty-eight child brides according to her wishes, and changed Wanqing Palace into Wind Chime Palace. Why is she still not satisfied?
Are you going to force us two to die? "
Mudouya could no longer see Ye Congwen's face clearly, and knew that he didn't have much time left. Regardless of whether Ye Congwen answered or not, he continued to talk to himself:
"Sister Xiaoyu refused, so she asked the Crown Princess to kill her sister and throw her body into the sea of fire. Sister Yueyue came to save us, but she and a beast with flaming eyes chased us out of sight.
What did I do wrong to make her so unhappy? "
Ye Congwen's tears flowed like beads when he heard this. He wanted to say a few words of comfort, but Mudouya tried his best to take out several large wooden boxes from Chuyu and begged Ye Congwen:
"The thing I, Mudouya, have been most sorry for in my life are the one hundred and twenty-eight child brides. Can you help me give these more than forty tripod-making medicines to them?"
I don't have much time, and I can't keep such important things for them. You must tell them that it is not me, Douya Ya, who is dishonest and covets their tripod-building medicine.
But they are not strong enough, and holding such valuable things can easily lead to death. "
"Little Douya, you don't have to blame yourself. If you hadn't sent them away, how would they still be alive now?"
Ye Congwen saw Mu Dou Ya's pupils slowly dilating, but felt guilty in his heart and refused to let go. I had no choice but to put the good things in words and comfort Mudouya's heart.
"???????????????Really? So I did something good by mistake?"
Mudouya showed a rare smile and was about to say a few more words when he suddenly found that it was becoming more and more difficult to breathe. He had to touch Ye Congwen's face with his hand. He seemed to have a thousand words to say, but he didn't have time to say them. He thought about it for a long time. asked:
"Brother Congwen, is Princess Feng Ling nice to you? I heard that the Holy Emperor built a bigger Prince Consort's Mansion for you in the imperial capital. Do you like it?"
Ye Congwen moved his lips and was about to explain clearly, but at this moment, Douya slowly closed his eyes and murmured to himself:
"No matter how unreasonable she is, as long as she really likes you..."
Suddenly the little hand touching his face fell down, and Ye Congwen couldn't help shouting any longer:
"Xuanyuan Fengling, I'm going to kill you!"
The sound was like a huge thunder, causing the collapsed roof to rattle down, dust and sawdust falling down one after another.
Ye Congwen stood up holding Mudouya's body and walked outside step by step. He found a smooth stone slab and slowly worked it on it. He stared blankly at the blazing fire on the other side and couldn't even cry. come out.
Bian Wanqing, Jia Zhenzhu, Murong Lian, Lin Xiaoyu, Mudouya Yu, Yu Yueyue, and those giants of the Huaye tribe, each of their faces passed through his mind one by one, like quicksand in his hand, no matter how hard he grabbed it, It can't be retained at all, and the harder you use it, the faster it will drain away.
Of the three hundred or so people in Tieta Village, plus the six sisters Bian Wanqing, she was the only one left alive overnight, and even the only corpse was Mudouya.
The rest of the people were never seen alive or dead.
Ye Congwen stared at the mute bean sprouts with his eyes closed for a long time, and suddenly remembered what this little girl said:
"One hundred and twenty-eight child brides have been dismissed as ordered, and the Wanqing Palace has been changed into the Wind Chime Palace - why should the child brides be dismissed? Why should the Wanqing Palace be changed into the Wind Chime Palace?
Who is spreading the false news that Emperor Wu has built Princess Feng Chime and my consort’s mansion? "
At that time, Xuanyuan Fengling was practicing in the Hall of Chaos like him, and he couldn't help but rush to Iron Tower Village to deliver the instructions for Mudou Sprout.
Who would have the ability to convince Mudouya, Lin Xiaoyu, and the giant of Tieta Village to accept the proposal to dismiss the 128 child brides and change the Wanqing Palace into the Wind Chime Palace? Although the Crown Princess is suspected of this, the Giant of Iron Tower Village does not recognize her, and neither Dou Ya nor Lin Xiaoyu are familiar with her. How did she gain everyone's recognition?
At this time, the image of Commander Xuanyuan Yulong suddenly appeared in Ye Congwen's head!
Those one hundred and twenty-eight child brides were recruited for him by the commander. If the commander hadn't given the order, it would be simply wishful thinking for Mudou Ya and Lin Xiaoyu to drive them away before they became body-building warlocks.
But why would the commander do this? As the commander and in charge of the Demon Hunting Guard's Hundred Beasts Mountain Detachment, he doesn't have to deal with everything on a day-to-day basis, but he certainly doesn't have time to meddle in his own business.
Unless the court or a powerful person asks him to help, the answer is obvious:
Either the prince, or Xuanyuan Fengling, her father!
Ye Congwen glanced at the vast mountains and sea in the distance, and suddenly calmed down. He carried the pig bean sprouts and went to the back mountain to look for Yu Yueyue.
Yu Yueyue's strength is about the same as that of Xuanyuan Wind Chime, but Xuanyuan Wind Chime has the help of the fire-eyed golden-eyed beast from the other side of the divine bridge. If one person and one beast join forces, I'm afraid Yu Yueyue won't be able to take advantage. Fortunately, Yu Yueyue knows how to move like a ghost so magically that she can't win. But if she wants to escape, Xuanyuan Wind Chime and the Fire-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast will also take her. She couldn't help it.
But the delay in returning all night makes people wonder--could it be that she also had an accident?
Ye Congwen suddenly thought of Uncle Fu, the true god realm master who secretly protected Xuanyuan Fengling. Although Xuanyuan Fengling did not allow him to follow him in order to hone himself, there were countless ways for such a master to hide from others.
Once Xuanyuan Fengling is in danger and loses to the furious Yu Yueyue, the old man will definitely intervene. Without a true holy master like Xuanyuan Xiaoxiong standing by to intimidate him, as long as he is selfish and strikes harder, Yu Yueyue will suffer.
Even on a hot July day, when the sun was as hot as fire, it could not stop Ye Congwen from breaking into a cold sweat.
Holding the pig bean sprouts and walking like a ghost, I walked back and forth around the back mountain dozens of times to look for him, but I didn't even see a single figure. In the end, he was so tired that he was weak. Seeing the sunset dyeing the sky red, Ye Congwen could only find a conspicuous place, hold the pigeon sprouts and wait for Yu Yueyue to come back.
Day and night alternate between black and white, and it's dawn in a blink of an eye. Ye Congwen can't wait for Yu Yueyue to come, and he knows in his heart that she is in danger.
He lowered his head and glanced at the sleeping pigeon sprouts, and faint corpse spots began to appear on the white face.
Knowing that this little girl loves beauty, she definitely doesn't want to say goodbye to her with this appearance.
Ye Congwen put her on the ground, found a geomantic treasure on the spot, dug a pit, cut down a giant tree, cut it into pieces and hollowed it out, and made a simple coffin.
Then she was buried in four-color treasure clothes. Just when she was about to cover the coffin, she suddenly remembered Bian Wanqing's only relic - Chu Yu.
"You sisters cannot be together during your lifetime, but you should stay together after your death."
Ye Congwen murmured to himself, reluctantly putting Chuyu in Mudanya's hand and letting her hold it tightly, as if two sisters were holding hands.
Ye Congwen watched it reluctantly for a long time. When the auspicious moment came, he closed the simple coffin lid and piled the soil on top of it.
It took until three o'clock in the morning to build a complete tomb. Ye Congwen found a smooth stone slab and carved the four characters "Tomb of Beloved Wife" on it.
He did not dare to write his name because he was afraid that one stone tablet could not contain so many names, and he did not want to write so many names.
