incomprehensible

Chapter 117 Confession

It was the first time for the future princess of the Prince Rong's mansion to cook fish soup, but it failed because she didn't pay attention to the fire. and billowing black smoke.

The door of the stone room was usually open, but Lan Qi planned to do something beastly just now, and secretly closed the door when he came in, which caused the indoor air to not circulate smoothly.

It was also because of his guilty conscience that there was no one else in the valley, so he just pretended to close the door.

The two hurriedly took the soup cauldron off the fire, arranged each other's clothes and pants, and were about to open the door to ventilate, but Lan Qi suddenly noticed something unusual.

——Although it was not very obvious, after the black and yellow smoke touched the roof, it penetrated a little along the cracks in the wall, indicating that there were caves outside the stone room.

He didn't have time to pay attention to it for the time being, the stone room was choking badly, and the two of them were also in a mess, so they had to go to the lake to clean up first, and then clean up the soup cauldron that was innocently victimized.

The original dinner was ruined by lust, so Ye Xuehuan had to take the bow and arrow, and hunted two geese returning to the nest again. When he came back, the stone room had been restored to its original state, but Lan Qi was standing on tiptoe on the warm jade bed, acting dangerously He reached for the zenith of the stone chamber with his fingers, and groped along the gap between the top and the stone wall.

"What, did you find anything?"

The Nuanyu bed was not completely flat, Ye Xuehuan hurried forward to hold Lan Qi's leg, and looked up carefully along his fingers.

"Well, there is a secret door on the top." Lan Qi roughly confirmed the location, and got off the bed with Ye Xuehuan's hand, "Thanks to the four sacrificed fish, the whole room was burned..."

Ye Xuehuan laughed: "Why don't you say it's thanks to you not caring about it and wanting to lose your temper?"

Lan Qi always knows how to be ashamed after the fact, so he didn't dare to refute sophistry at this time, turned a deaf ear with a sullen expression, but his ears were flushed, and forcibly changed the subject: "I thought the row of stone cabinets was the key, but I didn't expect It's actually on top of the head...the organ will be there..."

His eyes turned around in the stone room. The stone walls and the ground on all sides are smooth and flat. The warm jade bed is not connected to the stone room. There is a low table.

The stone is thick and heavy, and it cannot be judged by the knocking sound alone, but can only be confirmed inch by inch with the pulp of the fingers.Lan Qi's left arm was so sore that he could no longer lift it when he checked the zenith, and he slowly felt it with his right hand.

Both of them were very nervous. The secrets that Xingzu tried to hide were of no importance at all, but it was related to their way out. Even though Ye Xuehuan couldn't help, he stayed with him intently, so he decided not to prepare dinner again, lest Uneasy and repeated the mistakes of fish soup.

It didn't take long for Lan Qi to touch a small, vague phoenix pattern under the belly of the table.

This position is very subtle, and it's not very good to say that it is concealed, but because they have been lighting the fire next to the low table, it just caused a blind spot, so they have never paid attention to it.

It's just that there doesn't seem to be anything special around the engraving. Lan Qi thought about it, and asked Ye Xuehuan to find a shovel in the stone cabinet, and with a shovel, he dug a small hole in the engraving.

Ye Xuehuan knew that the key point was here, and the two of them lay down together under the low table, bit by bit the small hole was cut into a small hidden grid half a foot square, and inside was a delicate tie rod, which was pocket-sized. It looks like a toy, not like a mechanism that can lift the zenith at all.

The hidden compartment was narrow, and Ye Xuehuan could barely reach in with one hand, clamped the lever with two fingers, and broke it to the other side without much effort.

There was a rattling sound on the roof of the stone room, and a square door opened along the wall, just above the warm jade bed. standing height.

Although it is a hole opened on the zenith, there is no dust falling, indicating that the secret room above has been sealed well for thousands of years, and it still needs to be ventilated before entering.

The two hastily roasted and ate two geese and birds, and Ye Xuehuan let Lan Qi take a nap for an hour until it was completely dark before going up to investigate.

Ye Xuehuan grabbed the edge of the hidden door and climbed up first, then reached out to pull Lan Qi up.The secret room on the upper floor was pitch black, and he had to go down first, handed Lan Qi dead branches and kindling, and lit a fire on the upper floor, so that he could see the situation inside clearly.

The secret room is much larger than the stone room below. The secret door is already close to the crack of the wall on the lower floor, but it is in the middle of the upper floor.Lan Qi lit the fire next to the secret door to prevent accidentally stepping on it, and held a torch to check the secret room himself.

Except for a stone box in the corner, the entire secret room is empty, with only four walls, and it doesn't look like there is a way out at first glance.Ye Xuehuan was inevitably a little disappointed, but Lan Qi walked towards the stone box, and was not in a hurry to open it. Instead, he brought the torch close to the wall, and saw the densely carved ancient characters on the stone wall.

Ye Xuehuan's heart moved, and he turned around with the torch, and saw the same ancient characters on the four walls, and one of them had three other big characters that he didn't know, which should be the title and beginning of the whole wall text. part.

"The Book of Confessions..."

Lan Qi was quite surprised, "This is what Xingzu wants to keep?"

"Confession? To Longfeng?" Ye Xuehuan sneered disdainfully, "Let Longfeng be buried in the same coffin with him, and then write the confession here?"

Lan Qi didn't know how to make an evaluation, so he slowly read the wall text: "Yu Zuimian, the unforgiving man, repented at the end... Could this be the name of Xingzu? It seems that it has never appeared in historical records."

"Probably." Ye Xuehuan hummed, "He wants to be famous forever, but also feels that his crime is unforgivable, so he only leaves a posthumous name but not a taboo, which makes sense. Do you mean that you would rather get drunk than wake up?"

No one can answer this question, Lan Qi didn't answer, and continued to read: "... I dare not promise an afterlife, but please love Fengya, and my soul will live forever..."

"...Fengya?"

Ye Xuehuan raised his eyebrows, and his face became more ironic, "You actually took Longfeng's surname as the country's surname?"

Lan Qi read another paragraph, shook his head and said, "Fengya is just a taboo name, Longfeng has no surname."

He learned the ancient characters from thousands of years ago purely to read more ancient books and learn more about the imperial mausoleum, so he only squeezed out time to learn some after he had the authority to enter and leave the Yunxi Pavilion, and he was not good at all; The inscriptions on the wall are full of obscurity, and he can't even recognize many characters. He read it very slowly and difficult, and managed to piece together this unknown thousand-year secret.

Xingzu and Longfeng knew each other in the infancy, and their names had not been covered by history at that time; at that time, Nanhuang was not called Nanhuang, but Nanling, and there were many ancient and mysterious tribes all over it. All kinds of weird and indescribable witchcraft.Feng Ya was born in one of the powerful tribes, and because of her supernatural powers, she was regarded as the son of God by the tribe, and she was properly enshrined in the ancestral hall to grow up.

In troubled times, all the heroes in various places separatist regimes, even these ancient tribes can hardly protect themselves, so they have to seek shelter from the separatist forces.At that time, Yuzuimian was already the largest force in the south of the Panjiang River—the later Fenghui River. Today, the four counties of Nanqiu, Xia'an, Shangtai, and Yunyan are all under his command. When the momentum was at its peak, they wanted to use the strength of the Nanling tribe to unify the south bank of the Panjiang River in one go, so they drasticly gathered several tribes, including Fengya's tribe.

Fengya is an orphan. His father was the last great wizard in the tribe. He was obsessed with studying the immature blood gu technique, using his own blood to enter the gu, trying to pry into the secret of longevity, and finally died of backlash; his mother died of dystocia and hemorrhage during childbirth. What was born was a deformed hermaphrodite.

Everyone in the family said that the great wizard was insane, invaded by blood gu, and his blood was unclean, so he gave birth to such a freak; originally he wanted to execute the newly born Fengya as a symbol of ominousness and filth, but However, his blood is full of strange fragrance, invulnerable to all poisons, and can be used as medicine to refine Gu. It is a natural blood Gu physique-his father has spent his life in research that has never been successful, and it appears to him by accident. It worked perfectly.

After repeated discussions, the elders of the clan decided to "make the best use of everything" and kept Feng Ya in the ancestral hall, whitewashed the name of the Son of God, took blood from him to refine medicine, and studied blood gu in depth.

When the tribe surrendered to Yu Zuimian, they once offered medicines made from Fengya's blood; although they didn't mention the flesh and bones of the living dead, the medicines were indeed far more effective than ordinary medicines, which attracted his attention.In fact, he looked down on these barbarian tribes at all. What he focused on were the prescriptions and raw materials, and what he wanted was to kill chickens and get eggs; Soon he discovered Feng Ya and his secrets that were strictly concealed by the elders, and discovered the sinful and cruel truth behind the so-called "Son of God".

At that time, Feng Ya had just turned 15 years old, and Yu Zuimian was almost twice his age, so there was no intention of profanity at first, it was purely a sense of justice and a desire to protect.But his methods are not dirty, dragging the negotiation process on the surface, dealing with the elders, but at night he sneaked into the ancestral hall and Fengya's private meeting over the wall.

Feng Ya was brought up as a sacrifice since childhood. He was muddleheaded, ignorant, ignorant, illiterate, ignorant of secular ethics, and he couldn't even speak well. The half-acre ancestral hall was his whole world. I can't see them all; the people from the Presbyterian Church go to get blood regularly, and he will just roll up his sleeves obediently. He only knows that obedient obedient will have food. He is as innocent as a piece of white paper, completely unaware of the cruel and unfair treatment he received .

To him, the appearance of Yu Zuimian is like a god descending into the world. He will talk to him tenderly and patiently, bring him eating toys that he has never seen before, teach him how to write his own name, and tell him how wonderful the outside world is. , and asked him to keep the matter of the two of them secret from everyone, so that they would come to meet each other every night.

Feng Ya was soon immersed in the sudden sense of novelty and thirst for knowledge, and every day she was looking forward to Yu Zuimian, pestering him to tell her stories and teach her how to write.There is no pen and paper in the ancestral hall, so the two of them used the moonlight to write and draw in the mud of the flower garden with branches, and smoothed it with their toes before dawn.Sometimes Yu Zuimian would go late, and she didn't have time to say too much, so she just hugged him, stroked his head, at most kissed his forehead with an inch, and promised to come early tomorrow night.

In less than half a month, Feng Ya developed uncontrollable admiration and dependence on this man whom he had never met before, while Yu Zuimian intentionally shortened his stay at this time, and even stopped going there every night.

Fengya became restless, began to question her past life, and began to eagerly yearn for the outside world. Because of this, she began to disobey the elders, resist blood collection, and began to ask to leave the ancestral hall.

The elders were puzzled by his transformation, but they didn't contact Yu Zuimian for a while, they just thought that Feng Ya was getting older and not as easy to control as when he was young, and adopted simple and brutal methods of suppression.When Ye Yumian went to the ancestral hall again drunk, she saw Fengya in a mess, her ankles were chained to the beam by a long iron chain, she begged him tearfully for help, and begged him to take her away.

Yu Zuimian knew that the time was ripe.

On the second day, he deliberately hinted at the unknown source of the medicine repeatedly during the discussion with the Presbyterian Council, and asked to check some of the prescriptions, so that the two parties broke up; Ya, deliberately making a big noise, encountered the Elders Council head-on during the escape.

The confrontation between the two sides quickly turned into a confrontation. With Feng Ya in hand, Yu Zuimian was naturally not afraid of the witchcraft that the elders were proud of. However, the backward and closed Shenling tribe could not compete with the separatist forces in terms of strength and equipment.It can be said that Yu Zuimian won Fengya effortlessly, and before leaving, he had to erect a large memorial archway, denouncing the cruelty of the elders, bullying Fengya's loneliness and helplessness, and she disdains to be with her, let alone those who use Fengya. Ya's blood refined medicine; finally threatened that if the whole tribe wanted to survive and seek his asylum, the only condition was to hand Fengya over to him.

Only now did the elders realize his real purpose, but they were powerless to turn around, and watched him take Fengya away.

This passage was described in great detail in Xingzu's confession book, which took up almost one-third of the space.

If this is just a story, it will stop here. Although the cause is obviously impure, it can barely be regarded as a happy ending about redemption and protection.Perhaps in the eyes of Xingzu, who was completely insane later, this private meeting every night, like an affair-like first encounter, was the best time between him and Fengya, so he beautified it as the beginning of the love between the two to the greatest extent. Countless words piled up his love and sympathy for Feng Ya, but the smell of ulterior motives still overflowed from between the lines, and the stench was pungent.

Even if Yu Zuimian didn't fancy Fengya's special physique, but really felt pity for him, what he used was still deception; compared with the elders, it was just another level of shameless shamelessness .

Ye Xuehuan sneered after hearing Lan Qi read this passage carefully, this attitude of "repentance" is not very good.

They had already seen the true ending of this story in the imperial tomb, and they could more or less guess the subsequent development.

Yu Zuimian really likes Fengya, in order to hide the secrets of his body, she does not pretend to be other people in her daily life, and takes care of every detail with her own hands, even more reluctant to take a little blood from him, let him suffer a little pain, like a baby Taking good care of her, Feng Ya has been raised to be tender and juicy within a few years, and she has become more and more beautiful, attracting attention wherever she goes, and the entire army is full of admirers.However, Fengya himself has no self-awareness. He has been locked up in the ancestral hall for too long, and he is especially keen on communicating with people. When he sees people, he wants to say a few words; Not the beautiful and docile Fengya.

What was originally a normal interpersonal relationship has become a crisis in Yu Zuimian's eyes.The desire to protect turned into possessiveness, and then slowly fermented into a dark desire to control. Later, Fengya couldn't even bear to look at others more, and soon married him, and justifiably brought him by his side, guarding every step of the way.

Although Feng Ya is hermaphroditic, both sides are not fully developed, and she is more masculine, so she is unable to have children; Yu Zuimian insists on giving him medicine to recuperate, and two years later, she successfully conceived her first child and gave birth to a child. A normal baby boy.

After having a child, Feng Ya's physical condition could not be concealed after all. Yu Zuimian began to declare that Feng Ya was a woman disguised as a man, a midwife, a wet nurse, and a handmaid who served closely. Don't leak it.

Fengya's living circle has also been reduced a lot because of the child, and most of the time she spends around Yu Zuimian and the child, unexpectedly there is also some sort of illusion of conjugal love and family harmony.

In fact, in this wall text, there is indeed a deep love and unconcealable joy.This is probably the happiest and sweetest time in Xingzu's life. Fengya is willing to marry him, Fengya is willing to bear children for him, Fengya is willing to stay with him forever, everything seems to be from Fengya herself Willingness; but looking at Fengya's pitiful life experience that is almost zero, does he really understand what it means to "have children" and "stay together forever"?

When Xingzu was young, he probably knew that his methods were not right, but when he was about to die in his later years and left a confession book in this valley, how would this memory be distorted and beautified in his mind to make this one The text seems so warm?

No matter how much it is whitewashed, the relationship between him and Fengya is not an equal relationship, he always restrains and guides Fengya's wishes, only loves without respect, blindly possessing and demanding, that's why this seemingly unswerving relationship The deep feeling of "Affair" is chillingly far-fetched and eerie from beginning to end.

Lan Qi couldn't read anymore. It was difficult to read these dense wall texts by the firelight, not to mention the content was still so heavy and difficult.But now that they have reached this point, none of them can rest in peace without reading the wall text, thoroughly understanding the secret of thousands of years ago, and finding the way out of the valley.

No matter how distressed Ye Xuehuan was, he didn't try to persuade Lan Qi after all. He just supported Lan Qi, held a torch for him, and let him read on slowly.

If the previous content could allow them to analyze Xingzu's mental journey, then the subsequent content is simply beyond imagination.

Feng Ya gave birth to two sons and a daughter for Yu Zuimian successively. The frequent births caused him to lose energy and blood, and he was lingering in bed. At that time, Yu Zuimian had already reached Jiangbei, and he rose up among the separatist forces and became one of the most powerful people in the world. one.

But even more famous than Yu Zuimian himself is his legendary beautiful wife.

He can keep Fengya under his wings at all times, but he can't hide his existence; even if the outside world doesn't know about his special bisexual physique and his blood has special abilities, that face alone is enough to become the original sin , coveted by all parties.

Once Yuzuimian loses, the weak Fengya will immediately become a spoil of war, reduced to a taboo or even a plaything, constantly tossing and turning among the victors, not knowing where it will end up.

At this point, Yu Zuimian is already on the verge of riding a tiger.At that time, the situation of separatist regimes had already changed. All parties gradually merged and merged. The number became smaller and smaller, but their strength became stronger.

If you can't win the world, you will lose Fengya—this is the situation Yu Zuimian is facing.

Yu Zuimian's foundation is in the south, but he has to fight in the north of the river. The battle line is very long, the casualties are huge, and the supplies are difficult to sustain; Others stand firm, and under the ebb and flow of one another, he will eventually fall into a passive position.

After retreating several times and even Feng Ya was almost taken away, Yu Zuimian finally went mad.

He faked Fengya's death, put him under house arrest, picked only two dumb slaves to take care of him, and didn't allow him to have any contact with anyone. Welcome him into the palace and be his queen.

Feng Ya also knows the danger outside, so she waits obediently every day.

But the more so, the more anxious Yu Zuimian felt.Unifying the world is easier said than done, and those who can survive to the end are all heroes in troubled times. The division of power is becoming more and more stable, and they have been fighting each other for many years, and they all want to recuperate.

At that time, Lian Yuzuimian was included, and there were only four families left to fight for supremacy. The firefight gradually subsided, and gradually turned into a confrontation. The king of the realm, relying on natural barriers, is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and he prefers to stay in a corner.

But Yu Zuimian occupies the water vein of the Panjiang River, which is the easiest position to expand, and it is impossible to wait for others to slow down; but he himself is already exhausted, even if he wants to go all out, this tone is really about to raise his head. not moving.

He finally used Feng Ya's blood.

The different blood can be said to have an immediate effect, not only can be used as medicine to heal injuries, but also can control Gu to injure the enemy; Yu Zuimian began to adopt explosive fast-break tactics, and the entire Yinyang area was caught off guard, and soon bowed his head and surrendered.

After the capture of Yinyang, Yu Zuimian became king in Danlu.

From a tactical point of view, he should go down the river to attack Jiangdong first; but to everyone's surprise, he chose to bypass the Yinlong Mountains and storm the northern border.

——Because Feng Ya couldn't wait any longer.

The consumption of the war is so huge, Fengya can't bear it at all, and quickly weakens.At the beginning, there was no clue, just drowsiness; later, it developed into drowsiness and unconsciousness all day long.Even if Yu Zuimian stopped fighting and took blood from him, it couldn't stop him from getting tired and haggard.

Yu Zuimian tied up all the elders in his clan, and concluded after the diagnosis that his Gu blood was overused, and his body began to undergo an irresistible and irreversible Gu transformation.At the beginning, his father also had the same symptoms, and after a few years of hard work, he still died of backlash. No one knows how long he can last.

When Yu Zuimian took Fengya away, no one told him this.

The elders gloated over this, Yu Zuimian was so angry that he almost slaughtered all the men in the clan, forcing the elders to come up with an expedient measure.

——It is said that jade stones have a restraining effect on Gu transformation, Fengya's father also used a piece of spiritual jade that came from nowhere to protect his heart, but in the end it was only a delay.Feng Ya was born with a blood gu physique, maybe he won't be able to follow in his father's footsteps, but no one knows exactly how to solve it.

Yu Zuimian snatched his father's piece of spiritual jade, and searched all over the world for strange stones and beautiful jade.The king of the northern border has a natural yellow warm jade bed, and Yu Zuimian stormed the northern border for this reason, delaying Fengya's time at all costs, trying to find a way to save it.

The Northern King's troops were weak, and after Yu Zuimian crossed the Yinlong Mountains, he was invincible. However, before he could gain a firm foothold in the northern border, the Jiangdong King suddenly attacked his rear, so he had to turn back and fight.After finally suppressing the momentum, the remnants of the Northern King's old troops fought back again.

For so many years, the three parties fought and rested from time to time.

Yu Zuimian has become the strongest, giving him time to recharge his energy is tantamount to pushing himself to death, so the other two parties know that they are no match for him, but they still have to grit their teeth and drag him, exhausting him. Negotiate terms with him instead of being swallowed to the bone.

Chaos has arisen, and there will be no more peace.

Yu Zuimian was able to survive being attacked by both sides, but she was also overwhelmed and tired of coping.During the period, he was in danger several times, but Feng Ya could only rely on Feng Ya to save him by bleeding.

He needs all the power of the world to save Fengya, but in order to win the world, he has to squeeze more from Fengya.If he wanted to buy time for Feng Ya, he had to take his time first.

This was an endless loop, but Yu Zuimian couldn't stop.

The Presbyterian Council is very shameless in this regard, giving him a little illusory hope, and putting him in a state of madness, disrupting his pace of seeking the world, and making him unable to save Fengya in the end.

When the forces in the northern region surrendered completely, Fengya was already surrounded by all kinds of jade collected from Cangzhu County, but she was still powerless.

Although Yu Zuimian subdued Jiangdong as quickly as possible, when he returned triumphantly, what he saw was an empty shell of ignorance and innocence.

After all, he couldn't let Fengya see that he was standing on top of the world with majesty, and he couldn't personally put on the wedding dress for him; the only thing he could give was a posthumous title.

From the beginning to the end, Feng Ya never had a single complaint.

According to the official history, the process of Xingzu's conquest of the world is extremely vigorous. Regardless of the difficulty or success or failure of the battles, they are all exciting. The stack of historical materials can be half the height of a person; Condensed into a bitter and cruel truth, Emperor Qiangu cut open his glamorous appearance with his own hands, and wrote down his sins and embarrassment in blood.

It was not until here that this wall text finally had the meaning of "confession", and the dull and suppressed remorse and despair rushed towards the face like a stormy sea.

Lan Qi's voice has long been hoarse, but he is still reading word by word as much as possible, and Ye Xuehuan is also listening to each word.

Yu Zuimian believed that his crime was that he was too incompetent to protect his true love; while his "repentance" was to spend his entire life trying to save Fengya.

——This is the beginning of his complete madness.

In order to study the blood gu, he kept drawing blood from Feng Ya's Gu puppet body, compounding the medicine, and then using it on Feng Ya's body, recording the thinking of making the medicine, the prescription and the reaction of the Gu body to the medicine.Of course, they all failed without exception, but in the process, many strange Gus and medicines were born, and they were all recorded by the Feng family as secrets.

Yu Zuimian didn't care how the people below deal with the failed products. In his later years, the government was handed over to the prince to take care of it, and he was only immersed in pointless attempts day after day.

He fell into a strange circle again, he clearly wanted to save Fengya, but he became indifferent and numb after repeated failures, the initial regret and love gradually faded into pure obsession, so that every time he tried the medicine, he was already indifferent. There is no expectation, but the result is recorded mechanically, and then repeats meaninglessly.

He subconsciously understood that Feng Ya could not be saved, and even the only meaning in life seemed to have changed from "saving Feng Ya" to "studying different blood", so that before he died, he put all his eggs in one basket and directly dissected Feng Ya. heart, trying to make the last and most thorough research and experimentation.

When reading this, Lan Qi's heart twitched suddenly.

——The origin of deed Gu is actually Feng Ya's heart.
