After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

Master Sheng, Tuoba Ye, Si She, Ji Li, and Tan'er were all there.

Everyone was gathered around a huge sinkhole, staring intently at the bottom.

"Was the strange phenomenon that descended from the sky during the alignment of the seven stars here?"

Meng Qianqian murmured as she stood next to Tan'er.

When she saw what was in the pit, she showed the same astonishment as everyone else.

At the bottom of the pit... there was actually a coffin!
"what happened?"

Meng Qianqian was filled with suspicion.

Tan'er wanted to go down, but she was stopped by her.

The man opposite, Master Sheng, also looked solemn, clearly unable to believe that the alignment of the seven stars had actually brought down a coffin.

It was not an ordinary coffin, but a thousand-year-old jade coffin.

The coffin exuded a faint chill, mysterious and serene.

Everyone was speechless, as if the world had been frozen.

"Ah!"

Tan'er sneezed loudly.

Their consciousness was instantly pulled back, and everyone seemed to wake from a dream.

"What just happened? I think..."

Tuoba Ye broke out in a cold sweat.

Master Sheng said thoughtfully, "Be careful, something's not right about this coffin."

Tuoba Ye stretched out his arm and blocked Master Sheng.

"Is the strange phenomenon originating from here?"

Meng Qianqian asked Ji Li.

Ji Li looked at the compass in her hand with a bitter expression: "I don't know, it suddenly stopped moving again."

"It's broken again?"

Chenlong frowned and asked.

Ji Li, unusually calm, revealed a serious expression: "Could this be what the goddess was talking about...?"

He spoke the last two words very softly, but the people in front of him heard them clearly.

Lu Yuan: "What did my maternal grandmother say to you?"

Ji Li sighed: "To tell you the truth, the goddess gave me the tortoise shell so that she could calculate the hexagram of the seven stars aligning."

Lu Yuan: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Ji Li: "The goddess forbids me to say it! You're not a charlatan, you wouldn't understand. Some things can't be told to outsiders, otherwise it will affect your fate."

Lu Yuan pondered, "My maternal grandmother knew about the alignment of the seven stars all along."

"More than that? Do you know that great chaos is about to break out in Miao territory? Only the alignment of the seven stars can break the deadlock. I have come with a mission."

Ji Li thought of the important task secretly bestowed upon her by the goddess, and suddenly felt that her image was incomparably tall and majestic.

Compared to her own grandson Lu Yuan, the goddess clearly values ​​herself more!
"What mission?"

Lu Yuan asked.

“The goddess said that I will know when the seven stars align.”

"So you knew?"

Ji Li: "...Not yet."

Meng Qianqian: "After all that, he's still just a half-baked amateur."

Ji Li: "Don't say that, I, the commander, didn't."

"Aren't you going down to take a look?"

Master Sheng smiled and asked Meng Qianqian and Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "I wouldn't dare to steal the limelight from Master Sheng. Please go first, Master Sheng."

They're all old foxes.

Tuoba Ye was eager to try: "Master Sheng."

Master Sheng gave him a serious look, and he nodded and took half a step back.

Immediately, Master Sheng said to Lu Yuan, "Why don't we go together?"

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "No rush."

Master Sheng twitched the corner of his lips.

His gaze passed over Lu Yuan and Meng Qianqian and landed on the faces of the others. He found that even the seemingly loud and boisterous little girl did not show any impulsiveness and seemed to be waiting for them to step into the pit first.

"In a moment..."

He opened his mouth.

"The people from the temple should be arriving soon. By then, our chances will be slim. We might as well take a gamble now."

Lu Yuan finished speaking for him.

Knowing he couldn't fool these people, Master Sheng had no choice but to bite the bullet and give it a try.

"Go and see."

"Yes."

Tuoba Ye jumped down.

In a flash, Lu Yuan and Meng Qianqian realized something and shouted in unison, "Don't touch the coffin!"

However, it was too late; Tuoba Ye's hand had already pushed open the coffin lid.

A thick plume of white smoke billowed out, and everyone hurriedly held their breath. However, the smoke contained moisture, which landed on their skin and hair. In just a moment, everyone's consciousness began to blur.

Tuoba Ye was the first to fall.

"elder sister……"

Tan'er rolled her eyes and leaned on Meng Qianqian's shoulder.

Meng Qianqian tried her best to stay upright and not faint, but it was no use.

"This smell...it seems so familiar..."

She held Tan'er and fell into Lu Yuan's arms.

After an unknown amount of time, everything returned to tranquility.

A gray-haired man strolled out. He put his hands behind his back and glanced at the haphazardly scattered crowd.

"Show yourself now that you're done fighting."

As he finished speaking, the high priest, dressed in a sacrificial robe, used his lightness skill to descend from the sky and land steadily beside him.

About ten breaths later, Shan Cheng and Aymulan also reached the top of the mountain.

However, compared to the high priest's composure, the two appeared somewhat disheveled.

"Truly worthy of being called the King of Medicine."

The high priest said.

The Medicine King chuckled twice: "Likewise."

Aymulan's eyes flickered slightly: "He is the Medicine King?"

Shan Cheng said, "That's right. If it weren't for the Medicine King's help, we wouldn't have been able to defeat them so easily today."

The Medicine King glanced at Lu Yuan: "This kid held out for a full quarter of an hour."

Shan Cheng exclaimed in surprise, "It's been so long!"

The Medicine King turned around and said to Ayimuran, "Princess of Loulan, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Aymulan nodded: "Medicine King, it's a pleasure to meet you."

She paused, then asked curiously, "But what exactly is going on? Where is the Holy Maiden of the Western Night?"

The Medicine King said, "The Holy Maiden of the Western Night is already dead. Even if the Seven Stars align, she cannot be reborn."

Aymuran: "So, the rumors are false. There is no saintess at all, and there is no so-called secret of the saintess."

The Medicine King laughed: "The rumors are false, but the Holy Maiden's secret is true. Am I right, High Priest?"

Aymulan's unchanging expression finally cracked slightly: "Shan Cheng, what exactly is going on?"

Shan Cheng sighed, "Your Highness, please calm down. I only just found out myself..."

"Your Highness, there is no need to make things difficult for my son. It was all my idea."

The high priest's deep, slow voice was like an ancient bell, exuding an awe-inspiring mystery and power.

Aymuran calmly replied, "Then please, High Priest, enlighten me."

The high priest did not rush to answer, but instead asked, "How much does the Queen know about the Holy Maiden of the Western Night?"

Aymulan said, "I don't know much about her, but I suspect she might have some connection with Zhongli Yuan of Qianji Pavilion."

The Medicine King chuckled.

Aymulan asked calmly, "What is the Medicine King laughing at?"

The Medicine King said, "I laugh because the Princess Consort doesn't even know that Zhongli Yuan is the Holy Maiden of the Western Night."

Aymuran narrowed her eyes.

The Medicine King said with a half-smile, "It seems the Princess Consort is not entirely unaware, but simply dares not believe it."

Aymulan said, "It's truly unbelievable, after all..."

She didn't say anything more.

The Medicine King understood immediately and said, "After all, the two are of different ages. If Zhongli Yuan were alive, she could not possibly be a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl."

Aymulan nodded.

The Medicine King said, "This is the secret of the Holy Maiden of the Western Night. Including Zhong Liyuan's identity, the Holy Maiden of the Western Night has appeared twice, and her appearance has not only remained unchanged, but has become even younger. The High Priest and I speculate that she possesses the art of immortality, and that art is hidden in the forbidden area of ​​the Holy Temple. Unfortunately, there is a stone door there that no one can open. I only learned by chance that only the blood of the Holy Maiden can open this door."

I only regret not having shed some of her blood back then, but thankfully she has descendants, and using their blood will suffice. I spread the news of the seven stars aligning to lure her descendants to Liuli Island.

Aymulan said, "Zhongli Yuan's daughter died long ago. Wait, could it be that Shang Jiu didn't die? Or perhaps—she has other descendants?"

The Medicine King's meaningful gaze swept over Tan'er.

Aymulan frowned: "This little girl? Is it her?"

"more than."

The Medicine King then looked at Meng Qianqian.

Aymulan was even more puzzled: "Tiger too?"

Medicine King: "Has Your Highness ever heard of the forbidden arts of Mount Wu?"

Aymulan: "I've heard that Gongsun Yanming once forcibly reversed the fate of his daughter and Shang Jiu."

The Medicine King smiled faintly: "The forbidden arts of Wushan are not limited to this one. Reversing fate is nothing compared to extending life with life. Has Your Highness ever heard of it?"

"You mean... Zhong Liyuan went to such lengths to save her eldest daughter..."

At this point, Aymuran suddenly couldn't continue speaking.

One was willing to give his life for his daughter, while the other was willing to sacrifice his son's life for his own ambition.

She had already lost to Zhong Liyuan.

She asked coldly, "How do you know these things?"

The Medicine King said, "To perform forbidden techniques, one must obtain a medicinal ingredient, which only my Medicine King Valley possesses."

Aymulan: "The price she paid was—"

The Medicine King glanced at the forbidden area of ​​the temple: "The secret of that stone door."

Aymulan said sarcastically, "So it turns out that your Medicine King Valley doesn't operate on a life-for-life basis."

The Medicine King frankly stated, "This secret is worth a hundred lives."

Having said that, he dusted off his wide sleeves. "Alright, take the twin flowers with you. Now, we're going to open the Gate of Heaven and Earth."

Aymulan said calmly, "Gate of Heaven and Earth, what a fine name."

The high priest raised his hand, and several disciples of the temple carried Meng Qianqian and Tan'er onto stretchers and down the mountain through the secret passage.

Aymulan stood on the mountaintop, silent for a long time.

Shan Cheng said softly, "Your Highness."

Aymulan: "Your father and the Medicine King were both after the secret to immortality, but I wasn't."

Shan Cheng said solemnly, "I know, but the Holy Maiden's secret is not just the art of immortality. Her military strategy, her medical skills, and all her inventions are enough to make you the greatest king in the Western Regions."

"The Great Shaman of Loulan, the sect's prodigy, the Holy Maiden of the Western Night, Zhongli Yuan is the true legend of the Western Regions."

"No, Your Highness, she's dead, you're alive, you've won!"

"That's right, I, the princess, have won."

"My father and the Medicine King will assist the Queen in ruling the world!" (End of Chapter)
