Chapter 854: Dead lips and cold teeth
"Now, I would like to ask Senior Sister Changsun...what is the connection between the tomb you want me to explore and the situation in Dayan?"

Upon hearing this question, Changsun Jiansu hesitated to speak and finally just sighed.

Gong Yang Xunyan saw this and said helplessly: "Let me tell you."

He poured a glass of wine, drank it all, and then said slowly: "Senior Sister wants you, Junior Brother Fu, to explore the tomb, probably because... the eighteen-year-old Huo Yaer is there."

"W-what?!"

Fu Qingzhou almost spit out the food in his mouth: "Eighteen-year-old who?!"

“Huo Yaer.” Gong Yangxunyan sighed, “Back then, she was still the Saintess of my Qiluo Palace and also my senior sister… but now the Great Shaman of Beiyi is not the complete her.”

Fu Qingzhou's eyes widened.

What is this operation?
"You've probably heard about her, too."

Gong Yangxunyan said quietly, "More than fifty years ago, Huo Yaer, the Saintess of Qiluo Palace, discovered her identity as a Beiyi. She also learned that her master had killed her entire family and only left her behind. So she rebelled against Qiluo Palace and killed her way back to Beiyi."

Fu Qingzhou nodded.

"I, Kirara Miyamoto, hate killing the most. Killing is a serious crime for us."

Gong Yangxunyan said in a deep voice: "Master... has committed this serious crime."

He spoke in some fragmented terms and it took Fu Qingzhou a while to understand what was going on.

Simply put, more than seventy years ago, the Northern Barbarians also had severe frictions with the Yan Kingdom. At that time, there was also the Hong family in the Northern Frontier, but there was no such stabilizing figure as Marshal Hong Ruohai today. In comparison, the Northern Barbarians were much stronger than they are today, with powerful soldiers and horses.

By that time, the Northern Barbarians had even annexed more than a dozen cities in the Northern Frontier. The Northern Frontier Army was defeated and the territory of the Yan State was in danger.

Under such circumstances, the Emperor Yan at that time had no choice but to ask for help from the underworld.

At that time, Changsun Jiansu, Gongyang Xunyan and Huo Yaer's master, who was also the Palace Master of Qiluo Palace at that time, was of course also invited.

Qiluo Palace was not a sect within the territory of Yan State and had nothing to do with Yan State, but it also practiced Confucianism and had a relationship with Palm Sword Academy, so it finally agreed - of course, at the beginning, the former palace master only agreed to do things like support, investigate, and pass on information.

But once the war breaks out, how can everything go as planned?

Things changed several times, and several disciples of Qiluo Palace died.

"Before us, Master actually accepted several disciples, but... we have never met those brothers and sisters."

Gong Yangxunyan smiled bitterly: "They all died in that battle."

It’s not difficult to guess what happens next.

The former palace master, whose disciple was killed and whose heart was filled with hatred, could no longer put "life first, benevolence and do not kill". During a siege, she not only killed the great shaman of the Northern Barbarians at that time, but also went crazy and slaughtered his entire family.

What woke her up from her madness was the cry of a baby.

"Master adopted Huo Yaer in this way."

This time it was Changsun Jiansu who spoke: "Perhaps out of guilt, she has always been most concerned about Huo Yaer, and even trained her as the next palace master... For this reason, she also entered the ancestor's tomb at the age of eighteen and accepted the inheritance."

When Fu Qingzhou heard this, he knew that the main part of the show had finally arrived.

"My Qiluo Palace advocates the use of dance and music to get closer to heaven and earth, and the rhythm of dance and music naturally emphasizes the heart and self-esteem."

Zhang Sun Jiansu said slowly: "In the ancestor's tomb, you will see all the big and small things from your birth to the present. Those things that you have ignored and forgotten will all come back to you."

Fu Qingzhou's eyebrows twitched.

But he remained calm and said softly, "Is that where Huo Yaer learned about his life experience?"

"good."

Zhang Sun Jiansu sighed, "But for some reason, she left a fragment of her soul and hid it in the tomb. After that, she left the ancestor's tomb as if nothing had happened. After disguising herself for several years and making sufficient preparations, she finally rebelled against the palace and defected to the Northern Barbarians."

"I only knew about her soul when I entered the ancestor's tomb to receive the inheritance. But she didn't want to see me and chose to hide." Fu Qingzhou asked doubtfully: "Can't you just enter the ancestor's tomb again?"

"A person can only enter the ancestral tomb once in his lifetime."

Gong Yangxunyan said helplessly: "And at least you have to advance to the realm of cave heaven to inherit the ancestor's legacy... I also went there to find Huo Yaer, but I didn't have enough talent, I couldn't even enter the main tomb chamber, and I came back in disgrace."

Fu Qingzhou had a new question: "Eighteen-year-old Huo Yaer has already reached the cave heaven?"

"She broke through in the tomb."

Chang Sun Jiansu replied: "But the Cave Heaven Realm is only an entrance ticket to the inheritance, it does not mean that you can obtain the inheritance by advancing into the Cave Heaven."

Fu Qingzhou nodded slightly: "I understand, so, what are you looking for Huo Yaer in the tomb for?"

"Convince her."

As Changsun Jiansu spoke, his already old face seemed to have become even more vicissitudes: "Although I have only met her once, I can see that she... is not as full of hatred as the real Huo Yaer. Perhaps, she is the key to our defeat of Huo Yaer."

"Alas." Gong Yangxunyan sighed, "Master Sister, you still want to get involved in this matter..."

Fu Qingzhou blinked.

"Oh, that's right."

Gong Yangxunyan smiled at him and said, "Didn't the Sword Master Academy want to ask my Qiluo Palace for help? Actually, they want us to help intervene in the war in the northern border and capture Huo Yaer."

Fu Qingzhou's eyes narrowed. "So, Senior Brother Gong Yang, do you think this matter is difficult to handle?"

"I'll tell you the truth, I think it's unnecessary."

Gong Yangxunyan drank a glass of wine and said calmly: "Decades have passed since Huo Yaer and Qiluo Palace's incident. She is now doing her job as the Great Shaman of Beiyi, and we are playing the piano and flute. I have said before that Qiluo Palace has nothing to do with Yan State..."

"But if Yan Kingdom is really in chaos, Huo Yaer will definitely return here." Changsun Jiansu suddenly interrupted his junior brother.

She glanced at the slightly surprised Gong Yangxunyan and said calmly, "Huo Yaer was not strong enough back then, and later she was intimidated by Hong Ruohai's power and did not dare to leave Beiyi... But if one day, Beiyi really takes over the Central Plains and she is free, my Qiluo Palace will suffer a great disaster."

Gong Yangxunyan sighed deeply.

Fu Qingzhou finally understood.

The lips and teeth are interdependent.

Huo Yaer has always remembered the revenge of Qiluo Palace for killing her entire family... Just as Changsun Jiansu said, she didn't dare to leave Beiyi. Before, she went deep into Yan Kingdom, but she only borrowed the little prince Manar and sent a wisp of her soul. Her real body has always been in Beiyi.

Qiluo Palace did not dare to bet on Huoyar's conscience.

The country of Yan is in such a mess. Although Qiluo Palace can remain unscathed for the time being, it is inevitable to prepare for a rainy day.

"So...last question."

Fu Qingzhou said slowly: "Is there any danger in the tomb? Is there anything that needs special attention?"

Zhang Sun Jiansu smiled slightly and said, "Brother Fu, do you agree with what you said?"

"accepted."

Fu Qingzhou also smiled: "It is probably God's will that I ended up here. The Northern Barbarians dragged on the war in the northern border, making it difficult to quell the internal chaos in Yan State. If possible, I also want to end it all."

"Great."

Zhang Sun Jiansu said softly, "Brother Fu, don't worry about the matter of the ancestor's tomb. You...now your soul is harmonious, and you have seen Zhenqin calm your inner restlessness. You have the signs of a saint. Your state of mind is far superior to ours. Nothing in the tomb can stop you."

"You just need to find the young soul of Huo Yaer and try to persuade her to help us deal with the cruel and violent Huo Yaer now."
