Xuanxia

Chapter 859 Persuasion
What Fu Qingzhou said was meant to hurt people's hearts.

But when the girl heard this, her eyebrows just twitched slightly.

Soon, she calmed down and said softly, "Now it's your turn to answer the question. Who are you?"

"My name is Fu Qingzhou."

Fu Qingzhou smiled and said frankly: "You have been in the tomb for a long time, so you probably don't know who I am, but I don't mind telling you... the real Huo Yaer outside, she calls me Zuling."

The girl's pupils suddenly shrank!
"Oh, yes."

Fu Qingzhou said leisurely: "There is a Huijue in Jinchan Temple who calls me a Buddhist child... Of course, he is dead now."

"Besides that, Taoism and Confucianism also want me because..."

He spread his hands and said, "My predecessor seems to be the way of heaven."

"..."

Hearing this, the girl was silent for a moment, and then said softly: "It seems that I have failed."

"What?" Fu Qingzhou was stunned.

The girl glanced at him dimly and said, "You are the person in the prophecy. If someone awakens you before you enter the cave, you will become a tool of the awakener and be used by him."

"But now you have reached a realm above the Cave Heaven Realm, you know clearly where you came from, and you are not controlled by anyone. This naturally means that the me outside has failed."

Her expression became complicated, as if she was regretful but also relieved: "Does she know about this?"

"We don't know yet."

Fu Qingzhou was indeed curious after hearing what she said: "So, you knew I would appear decades ago?"

"Well, in those years, a prophecy was spread." The girl nodded and said, "Thousands of years ago, the world turned upside down. All the cultivators in the world, and even the selfless gods, disappeared. Only the inheritance was passed down to reopen the path of cultivation in this world... The inheritance left behind at that time all had the same mysterious guidance."

She looked at Fu Qingzhou and said slowly: "There are related records among the disciples of Buddhism, the young disciples of Taoism, the saints of Confucianism, the ancestors of Wuyi, and even the demon cultivators and ghost cultivators, calling it the Demon Star or Dark Light..."

"The difference is that no matter what kind of records are passed down, they all indicate that this person was born from the great Dao of heaven and earth, and is a rare person who masters all the Daos. They also predict that... he will enter the world in the year of Jiazi."

The year of Jiazi?

Fu Qingzhou's expression changed.

The year when I first left Bailu Mountain was the Jiazi year.

Buddha's son, Daoist child, saint, ancestral spirit, demon star, dark light...

I have so many titles.

"Too much talk."

The girl lowered her eyelids slightly at this time and said calmly: "It's your turn to answer my question."

Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "Okay, keep asking."

"Senior Sister Chang Sun wouldn't come to me to advise me for no reason."

The girl whispered, "Why?"

Fu Qingzhou looked at her straight and asked, "Do you think I lied to you when I said that Qiluo Palace was in danger?"

The girl's expression changed from suspicion to shock.

"Your original body, Huo Yaer."

Fu Qingzhou looked directly into her eyes and said word by word, "Perhaps soon, he will overthrow Qiluo Palace."

The girl lowered her head, her long eyelashes fluttering, and I wonder what she was thinking.

"Qiluo Palace asked me to come and persuade you." Fu Qingzhou said leisurely: "I don't know why you are hiding from them. I just want to tell you that without you, they may not be able to deal with Huo Yaer."

"I……"

The girl raised her head, pursed her lips, and asked, "You are so powerful, can't you help them?"

"I will help." Fu Qingzhou said calmly, "But Huo Yaer has a Northern Barbarian Khan Tiele by his side. With two Xuanxing strongmen joining forces, I'm afraid I can't help much with my abilities."

“……”The girl was silent again.

Fu Qingzhou didn't urge her, just waited quietly.

After a long while, the girl raised her head and said solemnly, "I can't promise you."

"Oh?" Fu Qingzhou did not seem particularly surprised, but just asked, "Why?"

"You just said that."

The girl said softly, "I am the only kindness and compassion left in Huo Yaer's heart. Her attachment to Qiluo Palace and her reluctance to leave it are all left on me. Of course, you can guess the reason."

"She has to give up these things before she can do what she wants to do with peace of mind." Fu Qingzhou said lightly.

"Yes."

The girl smiled sadly: "After all, I am just a fragment of my soul. How can I stop her from doing what she wants? It was her wish to abandon me, so I will naturally not go against her wishes."

"But you have been in this ancestor's tomb for more than fifty years." Fu Qingzhou shook his head: "After more than fifty years, you have already established yourself. Why do you need to be trapped by it?"

"No need to say it."

The girl smiled bitterly and said, "I won't agree to your request, but... I am very grateful that you have worked so hard for Qiluo Palace. I can tell you how to enter the main tomb. You can take the Qiluo Palace inheritance and leave. Perhaps, you will have a better chance of success in the future."

"hehe."

Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "That's not necessary. I have no interest in the inheritance of Qiluo Palace. I can't learn your singing, playing the piano and dancing."

"No!" The girl said anxiously, "Where is the Confucian school's supreme heart-preserving secret technique - the Righteous Qi and Spirit Preserving Technique!"

A method to maintain righteousness and spirit?
Fu Qingzhou's eyes lit up: "Does Huo Yaer know how to do this?"

“Of course!” The girl bit her lip and said, “As you said, if she has reached the Xuanxing realm, even if you destroy her body, as long as her soul is not destroyed, she can always…”

"okay."

Fu Qingzhou interrupted her and said with a smile: "Your information is valuable enough."

"Huh?" The girl looked confused.

"It's okay. Since you won't help, I'll leave."

Fu Qingzhou waved his hand, turned around and walked back the way he came. When he passed by the girl, he narrowed his eyes and smiled at her: "Staying here without worries is also a way of life. No one will blame you for it."

"so……"

"Next time, if someone from Qiluo Palace comes in, you don't have to hide from them to cover up your guilt and pain. Be generous. It's okay."

After saying that, he no longer cared about the changing expressions on the girl's face and just left.

The way to the mausoleum was difficult to walk on, but the way back was easy. Soon, Fu Qingzhou's figure disappeared at the end of the dark tomb passage.

The girl was isolated in the empty stone chamber and remained silent for a long time.

After all the eternal lamps were extinguished, she turned around and floated towards the main tomb chamber.

The stone door that blocked Fu Qingzhou failed to block her.

She passed through the stone door without any hindrance like a ghost and appeared at the other end.

The main tomb chamber is much larger than the previous ones. A huge ice coffin is placed in the middle. In the ice coffin lies the corpse of a woman who has been dead for many years. But for some reason, the body is preserved extremely well.

She looked to be in her thirties or forties, with skin as smooth as a baby's. There was not a speck of dust on her gauze dress. Her slightly closed eyelashes were slightly raised, and her face and lips still had color, as if she was not dead but just asleep.

Even the female corpse exuded a faint orchid-like fragrance.

The girl floated to the ice coffin and knelt down beside the female corpse.

"Ancestor..."

A tear fell from the corner of the girl's eye, but for some reason a smile appeared on her face: "He said, I already have my own self."
