Capítulo 1394: Chapter 1391: Gu Qinghuan
This is also the only weakness of the Thousand Mysterious Mirror.
Ye Xuan had expected this long ago. He gently waved his hand, and the five-colored soil he had replicated was spread out in front of him. Then, according to the original runes, Ye Xuan rearranged the replicated runes into their correct order.
Ye Xuan had seen this kind of rune before; operating it wasn’t difficult.
Soon, an identical set of runes was replicated.
Ye Xuan compared them carefully, not missing a single detail.
Once confird, Ye Xuan stored the replicated five-colored soil in his small world, then stood up and spoke to the Coffin King of Xiling, “This place is sealed. Aside from you, no one is allowed here. If any anomaly occurs, inform imdiately.”
The Coffin King of Xiling nodded solemnly and said, “Alright!”
Ye Xuan and the Coffin King of Xiling exited that small world.
“Emperor Ye…” The Coffin King of Xiling hesitated, feeling sowhat ashad.
In the past, he had benefitted from Emperor Ye’s kindness, yet he had not accomplished what Emperor Ye had entrusted to him, feeling a deep sense of guilt.
“It’s not your fault.” Ye Xuan waved his hand.
The other party ca fully prepared to take away the Bronze Coffin; the Coffin King of Xiling was unaware.
“Please punish , Emperor Ye, or I will feel guilty.” The Coffin King of Xiling knelt.
Ye Xuan glanced at the Coffin King of Xiling and calmly said, “Then your punishnt is to make more wooden coffins. A great calamity is approaching, many will die, and you will have plenty to keep you busy.”
“Yes, Emperor Ye.” The Coffin King of Xiling accepted the order.
The two returned to the courtyard.
“Hmm?”
The Coffin King of Xiling’s expression changed unexpectedly.
Ye Xuan was also taken aback before they both vanished.
When they reappeared, they were already in the backyard.
“Sister Gu, are you alright?”
Zhou Youwei supported Gu Qinghuan, her expression changing slightly.
Gu Qinghuan fell weakly into Zhou Youwei’s arms, lifeless.
She had been fine just a mont ago; how did she suddenly beco like this?
“Huan’er!”
The Coffin King of Xiling and Ye Xuan arrived at the backyard just in ti to witness the scene.
The Coffin King of Xiling strode forward.
“Husband.” Seeing Ye Xuan arrive, Zhou Youwei breathed a sigh of relief and then explained the situation to him.
After leaving the inner courtyard, the two conversed extensively along the way, but upon reaching the backyard, Gu Qinghuan seed sowhat weak. When Zhou Youwei asked her, she shook her head, saying it was nothing.
Yet in the blink of an eye, she collapsed.
“Huan’er!”
The Coffin King of Xiling laid Gu Qinghuan flat on the ground, calling softly.
However, Gu Qinghuan did not respond.
This made the Coffin King of Xiling’s expression sowhat grim.
“Let take a look.” Ye Xuan said gently.
The Coffin King of Xiling imdiately stepped aside, looking tense, “I’m counting on you.”
Ye Xuan squatted down, his right palm aligned with Gu Qinghuan’s front, about half a foot away, and scanned from head to toe.
A visibly palpable wave rippled from Ye Xuan’s palm, falling upon Gu Qinghuan.
Monts later, Ye Xuan withdrew his right hand, squinting, “Coffin King of Xiling, you have quite so nerve.”
The Coffin King of Xiling replied in a pained voice, “She’s my only daughter…”
Ye Xuan’s expression turned cold, “You defy the laws of the Underworld and collude with the Netherworld; your sins warrant death without forgiveness.”
The Coffin King of Xiling remained silent.
He was fully aware of the grave mistakes he had committed.
As one of the four Nether positions, a Coffin Carrier should never violate the Yin Yang Law, yet he selfishly deceived all.
“Emperor Ye, please save her for my sake. When the ti is right, I will personally go to the Underworld and apologize to the Great Emperor of the Ten Halls of Yama.”
The Coffin King of Xiling spoke hoarsely.
Ye Xuan ignored the Coffin King of Xiling and reached to lift Gu Qinghuan’s red veil.
The red veil fell away, revealing a shocking sight.
Gu Qinghuan’s face was already rotten and decayed, with nacing white bones visible.
One of her eyeballs was barely connected by a tiny piece of flesh.
The sight was terrifying.
Zhou Youwei turned her head away, unable to bear it.
Ye Xuan did not continue to question the Coffin King of Xiling but calmly asked, “What happened to her?”
Looking at the grueso and terrifying Gu Qinghuan, the Coffin King of Xiling felt no disgust or fear but rather deep affection.
Slowly, the Coffin King of Xiling explained, “You know, Emperor Ye, daughters of the four Nether positions never marry outside, always intermarrying within the other positions…”
Long ago, the Coffin King of Xiling’s daughter, Gu Qinghuan, was a lively and adorable girl.
Even though Gu Qinghuan’s mother had died early, she lived happily under the Coffin King of Xiling’s care during her early years.
One day, Gu Qinghuan left the mountains with the Coffin Carriers, intending to broaden her horizons.
That coffin was ant for a mortal Confucian scholar.
When they arrived at the destination, they found the Confucian scholar was still alive, so they quietly waited.
Gu Qinghuan, being restless, sneaked off to explore and learned from others that the Confucian scholar ca from a poor family, with a little sister under ten, and a disabled father unable to move, so even though his ti had co, he was unwilling to die.
With a mouthful of Vast Qi of heaven and earth, he forcibly clung onto his life.
Gu Qinghuan was moved by his plight, believing he shouldn’t die, and secretly helped the scholar extend his life.
Thus, the Confucian scholar survived, and they developed a deep bond.
anwhile, the Coffin Carriers had to wait.
Because it’s their rule.
The coffin isn’t buried; they don’t return to the mountains.
In her interactions with the scholar, Gu Qinghuan realized she had fallen for this mortal Confucian scholar.
Though he lacked any cultivation, his lofty ideals attracted her.
Confucians say: Set the heart for heaven and earth, determine the fate for the people, continue the teachings of ancient sages, bring peace for all generations.
These were the scholar’s ideals.
Growing up in Xiling, Gu Qinghuan had never heard such things; she was imdiately impressed by the scholar’s wisdom.
Eventually, Gu Qinghuan decided to marry him.
She knew daughters of the four Nether positions shouldn’t marry outside, but her love was undeniable, so she secretly wedded him.
Yet on their wedding day, Gu Qinghuan was entangled by the Forbidden Power; her mana faded, and her face began to rot.
She was terrified.
The Confucian scholar didn’t know this. When he lifted the red veil, he was instantly horrified and took a knife, stabbing it into Gu Qinghuan’s heart.
Devoid of mana, Gu Qinghuan died on the spot.
This alard the Coffin King of Xiling, who ventured out to find his daughter, devastated by Gu Qinghuan’s fate, and captured the Confucian scholar, twisting his head off.
The loss of his daughter left the Coffin King of Xiling in overwhelming pain, leading him to conspire with the Netherworld to retrieve Gu Qinghuan’s spirit and place it in a Yin Bowl, existing within it while demonstrating the flesh.
Thus erged the current Gu Qinghuan.
(ps: Tomorrow we battle section four, let the cheat king Ye Xuan possess , and I’ll surely pass!!)
