"What is this ancient painting for? Don't you know how to read it yourself? Are your eyes angry?" The embroidery lady did not give up any opportunity to be weird.
"this"
Lin Xixue turned the ancient painting horizontally and vertically, and could barely tell that it should be a map. However, the picture itself was too freehand, and due to years of erosion, it was difficult to tell where the painting was at a glance.
However, several red circles drawn with ink pens can be vaguely seen between the mountains. The seven red circles vaguely resemble seven stars, pointing to a red cross.
"Could this be a treasure map?" Lin Xixue guessed.
"Hey, don't you have eyes?"
Lin Xixue smiled bitterly and did not refute. She just silently compared the shape of the mountain with the three-dimensional projection of the Southern Cang Realm she had seen before in her mind.
However, after comparing it for a long time, I still didn't see the same landform. I couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the treasure map is not in the Southern Cang Realm?
But she immediately thought that the Embroidery Lady knew so much about ancient witchcraft that she must have lived at least a thousand years ago. It was normal for the mountain topography to undergo some changes in the past thousand years.
So she expanded the search scope, and sure enough she found a mountain range that was very similar.
"The place recorded on this treasure map is in the north?"
The Embroidery Lady shook her head and said: "I don't know what the northern border is. When I was alive, this place was called 'Wu Bo', but according to the direction, it is indeed north of this continent."
Lin Xixue nodded, thinking that the location recorded on the treasure map must be in the north.
However, the mountains depicted in this treasure map are all lush with trees and are not as bitter and cold as the northern border today.
It seems that the ecological environment of the Northern Territory and even the Southern Cang Realm has undergone earth-shaking changes due to a certain drastic change.
By now, she has vaguely noticed that the drastic changes in the Southern Blue Realm seem to be divided into several stages, and the invasion of monsters like Tianzun Leizu is just one of the stages of drastic changes.
Before these monsters invaded, some unknown changes had already occurred in the Southern Cang Realm.
But what exactly these changes are, it is useless for her to guess at the moment, so she should ask some practical questions.
"When the queen gave me this treasure map, did she want to give me the treasure in it?"
"Gift it to you?" The embroidery lady rolled her eyes at her, "You have a good idea. What I borrowed from you will be returned with interest after you kill Tianzun."
"I wonder what this treasure house contains?" Lin Xixue had to confirm first. If the treasure house contained only ordinary gold and silver, she would have no shortage of it now.
"To be precise, this is not a treasure house, but an arsenal! What is hidden in it is not a peerless witch treasure, but a magic weapon in the secular sense, and there are a huge number of them."
"Arsenal of divine weapons?" Lin Xixue pondered for a moment, then asked immediately, "Have you ever thought that after so many years of vicissitudes of life, if this arsenal contained only ordinary secular divine weapons, it would have been turned into a pile of scrap metal long ago."
"This arsenal was originally designed to be stored for eternity. After the arsenal is built, complex witch patterns will be used to separate the world from the sky. As long as the treasure trove is not opened for a day, the weapons in it will be immortal for eternity."
Lin Xixue couldn't help but think about it. The purpose of building such an arsenal back then was obviously to arm a group of combatants at a critical moment.
It is unknown how many years have passed now, and the arsenal has not yet been opened, which shows that some huge changes occurred that year, which made the Embroidery Lady's power completely destroyed without a chance to resist.
"Can you please tell me what happened to your power that day, so that there was no chance to open this arsenal?" Lin Xixue did not mince words.
"I don't remember." The Embroidery Lady tilted her head, as if she was recalling something, "Before I unexpectedly gained a trace of wish power, I had been wandering in the world, and many memories have dissipated."
"The empress didn't succeed in going to another life after her death?" Lin Xixue asked doubtfully.
"Rebirth? What is this?" This time, the person who was confused became the embroidery lady.
"Have you never heard of the Netherworld or the past life?" Lin Xixue confirmed again and again.
The embroidery lady was silent and tried to remember. She frowned and nodded, "At least in my remaining memory, there is no such concept."
Lin Xixue could tell that the Embroidery Lady was not pretending, but that she really had never heard of it and could not understand the concept.
Could it be said that in the era of the Embroidery Lady, there was no concept of afterlife?
Doesn't this mean that this Netherworld probably did not exist between heaven and earth from the beginning, but was later constructed by certain beings?
The more Lin Xixue heard, the more frightened she felt in her heart. She could not imagine what had happened in this world.
She took a long breath, suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, and continued to ask: "Your Majesty must have had her own intentions when she handed me this treasure map of the arsenal."
"It's not that I want to give it to you, but my husband asked me to give it to you, saying that you will definitely need to use the weapons in this arsenal in the future." Embroidery Lady explained.
"How is my master doing now?" Lin Xixue then remembered that this master had not completely dissipated, and quickly asked about the situation.
"He has died so little that even I can hardly detect his existence. Only when he has accumulated enough strength can he occasionally say a word or two." The embroidery lady's voice was filled with sadness.
"I wonder if my master still has hope of recovery? I wonder if it's okay to erect a statue and collect incense for him again?" Lin Xixue tentatively asked.
"It doesn't work. The reason why it is called micro is that it cannot be heard or seen. Even if a statue is erected, it will be difficult for him to receive incense."
The Embroidery Lady paused, "That's why I asked you for half of Tianzun's incense. At that time, I will fill this temple with my vast willpower and create a chance for him to recover."
Lin Xixue nodded. It turned out that the embroidery lady wanted half of Tianzun's incense for this purpose. She felt something in her heart and couldn't help but bow to the statue of the master who did not exist.
After everything was explained, the embroidery lady also started to chase people away, saying: "Go and do your own business. I have almost reached the limit of my manifestation this time."
"My dear, wait a minute, you haven't said how to open this treasure house yet. Do you have the key?" Lin Xixue hurriedly asked about this matter.
"Haha." The embroidery lady laughed sinisterly, "Of course there is a key. The needle and thread I gave you before was the key. It's a pity that you lost it."
Lin Xixue was speechless for a moment and said angrily: "Does the empress have any other ways to open the treasure house?"
"No, go ahead and find your own way. Kill Tianzun as soon as possible and give me the incense." He waved his hand, and the palace door opened on its own, and a huge force pushed her out of the hall.
She looked at the surrounding villagers, stopped lingering, and left the temple in a few flashes, preparing to return to Xinliang City to fully understand the witchcraft that the soul had returned to.
On the way back to the city, she began to think that if she wanted to fulfill her promise to Bai Qing, the weapons in her arsenal were indeed indispensable.
But how do I know that I need these weapons?
