According to the music I heard, I gently turned the heavenly sound. If I made a wrong turn, the heavenly sound would return to its original settings. It was only after a few times did I finally find the correct method.
”It's done. This time, it should be correct!”
”It is fortunate that I was assigned to your group this time around. Otherwise, I'm afraid that I would not be able to leave even if I were to enter …” There was a trace of jealousy and hatred in Li He Yue's voice, but there was also a trace of relief.
After unlocking the heavenly sound, the five story pagoda had shrunk back into the wooden brocade box. The heavenly music had also gradually died down, and the entire secret room had returned to its initial silence.
Following that, there was another violent shake. The wooden brocade box that had returned to normal suddenly emitted a puff of green smoke. This really gave me a fright. I didn't expect such a strange thing to happen in this place.
The green smoke slowly rose up, becoming more and more numerous. It slowly took the form of a human and floated in the air.
The figure floating in the air seemed to be dressed in red, and looked gorgeous. There was a bit of cinnabar between his eyebrows, and from afar, it looked like a goddess had descended from the heavens.
”Isn't this the woman in the painting?” Li He Yue exclaimed.
I looked carefully, and though I was a little blurry in age, I could still make out that this woman must be the princess in the painting, the sister of the young general.
”Is she the imperial concubine of ancient Korea?” As the blurry figure on the other side became clearer, I asked tentatively.
The red figure actually responded to me. Even though her voice was ethereal, as though it was drifting all around, I could still hear it clearly.
”That's right, I'm Violet Jinglan. Do you know me? ”Who are you?”
So it turns out that his soul was sealed within the heavenly sound. I suddenly understood why the young general would place us here, and said that if we undid the mechanism, he would help us walk out.
”We accidentally barged into this tomb chamber. I saw your brother, the young general, saying that as long as we unlock this secret chamber, we would be able to pass through the entire Xishan Graveyard.”
The red figure seemed to have been sealed for too long, and her mind wasn't very sharp. It took her a long time to understand what we were talking about.
”My little brother, is he here too?”
I nodded my head, ”Although we don't know the specifics of the matter, but when we went to the Xishan Graveyard, we saw many lifelike sculptures, your brother being one of them. We touched a scroll and opened the mechanism, causing your brother and the rest of the soldiers to change from statues to alive.”
My brother probably wants to see me again, but unfortunately, my soul was sealed within this heavenly sound. At that time, no one could remove it, so this became his greatest resentment. Perhaps after all these years, he still did not abandon this obsession and wanted to take another look at me. ”
”But, why were you sealed inside the heavenly sound?” I asked curiously.
The red figure finally had the red mist slowly condense into a human form. Although it was still illusory, it was much clearer than before.
Because I have a deep obsession, I was not willing to reincarnate for a long time. My resentment was willing to turn into a wisp of green smoke and ran into the box that I loved the most, and over time, this suitability was called an ominous object. It was sealed with mana, and then I would never be able to come out.
”So heavenly sound belongs to you in the first place?”
The red clothed figure nodded. ”When I was alive, I loved the music and was the most famous music master in the entire Nine Prefectures. Back then, only I was able to unravel the mysteries of this heavenly sound, so Han Wang gave this brocade box to me. But who would have thought that after a thousand years, there would still be someone who can remove this heavenly sound and let me out. ”
I hurriedly explained, ”In our era, music is already a very common thing. Almost everyone knows the music, and the heavenly sound is indeed very ingenious, but I coincidentally learned some specialized knowledge, which is why I was able to unravel it by luck.”
”No matter what, you guys let me out. It's fate that we meet. I want to thank you all for letting me out. And I can help you open this secret room. ”
I really didn't expect that there would be so many profound mysteries hidden within the tomb of the Xishan. But esteemed wangfei, there's one thing I can't understand, since you're already the imperial concubine of Korea, and you're sacrificing your life for the country, you should be buried in the tomb of Korea. Why would your portrait and your soul appear in this tomb of the Ancient Chu Country?
”If you all had already seen through the secret of this tomb, then you should know that back then, I was forced to marry the King of Han because of a political marriage. But in reality, I was in love with the crown prince of Chu and King Chu later on. When we were married to someone else, we were both in great pain, but there was nothing we could do. ”
I suddenly understood, ”So that's how it is, no wonder Chu went all out to attack Korea, it seems that this is King Chu's biggest obsession, he probably wants to snatch you back and continue his fate.”
The red figure nodded and continued to sigh, ”My little brother probably thought the same. He had always wanted me to be happy, but in the end, something unexpected happened. I actually fell in love with Han Wang …”
