The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Chapter 243 Visiting the Martyrs' Monument, an Unexpected Incident

Conveying the souls of loyal souls to the afterlife was the first job Lang Jiuchuan took on.

Gong Qi thought a lot. From the beginning, Lang Jiuchuan did not mention the existence of the Fu family army. Even when Fu Qi appeared, she did not say that the three thousand loyal souls were repeatedly tormented by the burning fire of purgatory and had not been reborn. Why did she not say that?

Because this is abnormal, is their inability to be reborn in the Pure Land due to their obsession, or is it due to human intervention?
If it was done by someone, who did it, and what was the purpose of such a despicable act?
He then recalled her earlier question: after the original Bagua City was destroyed, who built it after the lost land was recovered and it was rebuilt? Why couldn't he answer that question?

Two hundred years ago, the Xuan Clan was truly full of talented people. The best warrior in the Tantai family was named Tantai Xiao, who was said to be the reincarnation of the White Tiger Star. The most powerful in Xuan arts was the ancestor Tantai Jing, who led the people to rebuild the new city.

Lang Jiuchuan learned from him who built it, but did not tell him about the history of the Fu family army. Was this to guard against him? No, it was to guard against the Xuan clan.

Gong Qi has pieced together the story. Since it was rebuilt by the Xuan Clan's ancestor, could it be the work of him and those senior ancestors, that is, the work of the Xuan Clan?

So she didn't speak, because she didn't trust him, no, she should say she didn't trust the Xuan Clan. Just like before with the Corpse Zombie, when she handed over the map she had gleaned, she was also very hesitant.

Gong Qi felt somewhat wronged. They were practically brothers in arms, so how could they not be trusted?
But when he thought about what the Xuan Clan had done, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty. If it really was the major Xuan Clans that suppressed the Fu Family Army, they must have some ulterior motive. Whose side should he take?
Gong Qi lagged behind Lang Jiuchuan by a step and said dryly, "Perhaps there are other reasons behind this, and it may not necessarily be the work of the Xuan Clan. This would be detrimental to one's karma."

Our ancestors two hundred years ago didn't wield as much power as they do now, so they probably wouldn't have done something so cruel.

Lang Jiuchuan looked over: "I didn't say it was you who did it. I just came to see for myself."

"But that's what you really think; you don't believe me."

Lang Jiuchuan smiled: "To be specific, it's because I don't trust the Xuan Clan's actions. But you and Young Master Gong are trustworthy. See, haven't I shown you the truth? Even if we haven't figured out whether it was the Xuan Clan who did it."

Gong Qi scoffed, thinking that these words were clearly meant to coax a child. He wanted to retort with a few sarcastic remarks, but then suddenly felt that it was pointless.

Indeed, he is backed by the Xuan Clan. If she really had a grudge against the Xuan Clan, why would she open her heart to them so easily? Even with him and Uncle Jiu, she held back.

"Now that you've seen the suffering the general and those three thousand Fu family soldiers are enduring, what are your thoughts? Are you willing to help them along the way?" Lang Jiuchuan asked him, glancing sideways.

Gong Qi seemed somewhat resentful, and said, "Isn't it you I have here?"

Lang Jiuchuan fell silent.

Gong Qi watched her walk straight ahead without saying anything more, and felt flustered. He chased after her and said, "For cultivators, doing good deeds is the consistent principle. Your question just now was pointless."

Lang Jiuchuan gave an "oh," his expression unreadable, neither pleased nor angry.

Gong Qi despised himself more and more. Was this still the little tyrant of the Gong family? He was so anxious and insecure, it wasn't like him at all. This brat really knew how to deal with people.

Lang Jiuchuan arrived at the stele and saw that there were many incense sticks stuck in the base of the stele, as well as some rice scraps and burnt paper, which showed that the worship here had never stopped.

"Monument to Martyrs." Gong Qi looked at the inscription on the monument and asked, "This is an anonymous monument. Who erected it?"

“Take a closer look at the Dao patterns on this stele.” Although it was covered in wind and dust, Lang Jiuchuan could already see some patterns on the stele, which looked like talismans.

Gong Qi was taken aback. Some of the patterns were stuck to the sand and dust, making them difficult to see. After thinking for a moment, he simply cast a Cleansing Dust spell on them.

His spell was executed well; as a result, the stele was as if it had been washed with water, clean and free of any sand or dust.

Lang Jiuchuan gave her a praising look, and Gong Qi became as proud as a peacock, holding her chin high and extremely pleased with herself.

Clang clang clang, Zhan Fengduo struck with extraordinary speed.

"Ah!" Fu Qi cried out in pain.

The two looked at the same time and saw Fu Qi holding his head with both hands, his face contorted in a ferocious expression. However, the ghostly aura was not deepening, but rather becoming shallower and weaker, appearing and disappearing indistinctly.

Oh no, this soul is about to scatter!
Lang Jiuchuan quickly pulled him back and stuffed him into the small Nine Towers, saying, "Don't come out, just stay inside the tower."

Fu Qi didn't even have the energy to reply. Approaching the stele, he felt very uncomfortable, as if something was hitting him heavily, with a force as great as a thousand pounds, even though he was just a soul.

Gong Qi stared intently at the small pagoda in her hand and said quietly, "Your pagoda can also nourish the soul. The Feng family's Seven Star Vajra Pagoda can do the same."

Lang Jiuchuan withdrew his divine sense from the tower in front of him and said, "What Vajra Tower? Is it as powerful as mine? Can theirs also recognize people as masters?"

This seems impossible, but it's possible to imprint a soul connection.

Lang Jiuchuan changed the subject, saying, "Forget about the tower or anything like that, look at this stele. General Fu's soul was attacked when he approached here. This stele is probably not simple."

Gong Qi felt a chill and quickly looked at the patterns.

Lang Jiuchuan went even further, taking out a piece of yellow paper and a sharpened charcoal pencil, and began to draw along the lines.

The pillar was at least two zhang tall and quite old. She couldn't see it clearly from the top, so she sent out her general to climb up and enter the small pagoda on top of the pillar.

Through Jiang Che's perspective, she saw the Dao patterns on the pillar high up and quickly traced them down. She then saw that the four corners of the pillar top were carved with exquisite white tigers. However, a stone guardian was pressing down on the white tigers.

Lang Jiuchuan's face was extremely ugly.

Upon seeing the white tiger statue, she knew that this so-called monument to heroes was not a purely commemorative stone for the fallen.

The White Tiger is warlike and is known as a general star. A carving of a White Tiger can represent a general star. However, a stone tablet is used to suppress the White Tiger. In fact, from a feng shui perspective, once the White Tiger's evil influence is released, the stone tablet can be used to resolve its evil influence.

The stone guardian is now pressing down on the tiger's body, signifying its suppression.

Upon hearing Lang Jiuchuan's explanation in his mind, Jiang Che was so angry that he jumped up and down, wishing he could smash the stone guardian to pieces to vent his anger. However, due to the unclear situation, he dared not act rashly, lest he ruin things.

It entered the small tower, and its hair stood on end.

Inside the tower, countless runes were drawn, and an invisible binding force restrained its entire spiritual consciousness, causing it to cry out in terror, "Lang Jiu, save me!"

"Wait a minute, don't rush, let me take a closer look." Lang Jiuchuan said with a serious expression.

She etched those runes into her mind. What was going on? Where had she seen such runes before? These were the Nine Heavens Soul-Suppressing Talismans that imprisoned the soul.

Where is the one she saw?
Lang Jiuchuan closed his eyes slightly, and fragmented images flashed through his mind like a stream of light: a huge cave, countless cinnabar runes, chains...

boom.

Her mind went blank as if struck by lightning, and she fell straight backward, bleeding from all seven orifices.

Gong Qi witnessed the unexpected scene, his expression changed drastically, and he rushed over.

I dare not hope for data or anything like that. I just hope to finish writing this story smoothly. That would be a good deed for me, emmm, a weak and humble wish!
