“What?”
“The Terracotta Warriors moved?”
There were many tourists at the Terracotta Warriors site, and Yun Mengxi’s words were overheard by the people nearby, which immediately caused a burst of laughter. A middle-aged man even laughed and said, “Little girl, don’t talk nonsense, how could the Terracotta Warriors move?”
“Haha, if the Terracotta Warriors are moving, what about Emperor Qin Shi Huang?”
A young man teased, “Emperor Qin Shi Huang might have to come out and ask me for money…”
This remark led to another round of uproarious laughter.
What kind of temper did Yun Mengxi have?
How could she put up with this?
“Damnit!”
She flashed in front of the young man, grabbed his collar, and lifted him off the ground, cursing, “You son of a bitch, dare to mock me? Try saying it again, and see if I won’t plant you into the ground with the Terracotta Warriors for company!”
The man’s legs flailed, his face full of horror.
Before he could speak, Yun Mengxi casually threw him away, sending him rolling on the ground. Although unhurt, he looked extremely embarrassed.
Yun Mengxi looked around and saw nearby tourists staring at her in shock. She snapped, “What are you looking at? Keep staring, and I’ll kill you!”
A watermelon knife appeared in her hand.
The numerous tourists scattered and fled, and only then did Yun Mengxi grumble and put away her watermelon knife.
Xu Yang couldn’t help but laugh and cry, saying, “Mengxi, can we be less impulsive in the future? It will affect your beautiful and elegant goddess temperament… Besides, Da Xia is a country ruled by law, and carrying a knife on the street is illegal. If someone calls the police, it will be quite troublesome.”
It seemed that Yun Mengxi took this in.
However, she snorted and said, “I am a zombie, why should I obey your human laws? Does the law say that zombies cannot carry knives on the streets?”
Xu Yang: “…”
This…
Her argument made so much sense that Xu Yang didn’t know how to refute it.
So he could only ask, “By the way, Mengxi, did you really see the Terracotta Warriors move just now?”
Xu Yang looked around and carefully observed the Terracotta Warriors, only to see them standing motionless.
Yun Mengxi took another careful look but found nothing unusual. She rubbed her eyes and said in surprise, “Strange… Could it be that I’ve been seeing things because I haven’t been getting enough rest lately?”
Liu Shishi, Yang Yin, and Yue Yuluo all looked closely but found nothing unusual either.
However, Xu Yang frowned.
With Yun Mengxi’s strength, the probability of her mistaking something was very low.
Xu Yang saw that no one was around, so he took out the “Heavenly Eye Talisman” and activated its power to take another look. However, the Terracotta Warriors still appeared ordinary and showed nothing unusual.
“Could Yun Mengxi really have been seeing things?”
Xu Yang pondered, then looked at Liu Shishi and said softly, “Shishi, you go down closer and take a look.”
Liu Shishi turned into a Yin wind, silently landed in the Terracotta Warriors pit, and flew past the statues one by one. Quickly returning, she reported, “Everything is normal.”
‘Then it must have really been Mengxi seeing things.”
Xu Yang could only think this way, while Yun Mengxi muttered, “It’s all your fault… You’ve been making me restless these past few nights.”
The three women, Liu Shishi, Yang Yin, and Yue Yuluo, overheard this and cast puzzled gazes.
Yue Yuluo curiously asked, “Husband, what did you do to Mengxi? You made her unable to sleep?”
What the hell? Can you be more careful with your words?
Is that word ‘do’ meant to be used casually like that?
Xu Yang, with a dark face, explained, “She just couldn’t sleep at night, and I told her a couple of bedtime stories… Okay, let’s focus on our vacation. We rarely get to visit the Terracotta Warriors, let’s take some pictures to remember this.”
He excitedly took out his phone and started taking pictures of the four women. While the four women posed against the fence around the Terracotta Warriors pit, Xu Yang discovered-
in the photos, only Yun Mengxi, Liu Shishi, and Yue Yuluo could be seen! Yang Yin hadn’t yet reached the level of Red Robe, so her Yin body wasn’t strong and solid enough. In essence, she was just a manifestation of Yin energy, so even if she materialized, cameras and camcorders could not capture her. Yang Yin looked disheartened, but Yun Mengxi said, “Idiot, take out your Soul Condensing Bead. With the help of its Yin energy, you can make your Yin body more solid.”
Yang Yin took out the Soul Condensing Bead and absorbed its Yin energy, finally appearing in the camera lens.
One person, three ghosts, and one zombie enjoyed their time sightseeing and taking pictures at the Terracotta Warriors until they left at noon.
After having lunch outside the scenic area, they drove to Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum.
In the car, Yue Yuluo sighed, “Emperor Qin Shi Huang truly deserves the title of Eternal Emperor. His mausoleum is truly magnificent, and the Terracotta Warriors, just one burial area, are a good two or three kilometers away from the main tomb, right?”
Yun Mengxi, however, snorted coldly and said, “Emperor Qin Shi Huang swept through the six realms, unified Hua Xia adopting the same track and script. Although he deserved the title of ‘Eternal Emperor’, to the pre-Qin cultivators, he’s probably worse than a devil, a true demon king.”
“Oh?”
Xu Yang, who was sitting in the co-pilot’s seat, asked curiously, “Why is that?”
Liu Shishi, who was driving, looked curious as well.
“I’ve only heard about it.”
Yun Mengxi said, “I’ve heard that before the pre-Qin period, there were Immortal Beings among humans, and those pre-Qin cultivators all had the opportunity to become immortals… But after Emperor Qin Shi Huang unified the world, he began to suppress these cultivators, burning their secret scriptures, killing them, and for a time, the pre-Qin cultivation methods were cut off. It was only later that martial arts and Daoist skills began to flourish.” “Book burning and the massacre of scholars?”
A term popped into Xu Yang’s mind.
Immediately after, he thought of “pre-Qin Qi Refiners” and was curious. However, Yun Mengxi had only heard about it, so she didn’t know much about the times of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, and asking her would be pointless. They quickly arrived at “Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum,” Xu Yang bought tickets, and they all entered along with the group of tourists.
After walking a big circle and taking pictures for souvenirs, they finally came out of the mausoleum.
Before leaving, Xu Yang didn’t know what came over him, but he took out another Heavenly Eye Talisman and looked at the mausoleum. But when he did, he saw a layer of gray mist hovering over the entire mausoleum.
Xu Yang was shocked and quickly climbed to a higher spot to get a better look. The next moment, an indescribable aura suddenly rose within the mausoleum. Xu Yang only felt a sharp pain in his eyes, and his vision became blurry. Bloody tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.
“Alih!”
“My eyes!”
Xu Yang screamed in pain, looked around, but could only see gray. His eyes felt like they were being stabbed with needles, so he shouted, “Shishi… Mengxi… Madam, where are you?”
Yue Yuluo came flying over, landed next to Xu Yang, and quickly helped him up.
She was alarmed, “Husband, what happened to your eyes?”
“I saw something I shouldn’t have.”
Xu Yang tightly closed his eyes, only then the pain in his eyes could be alleviated a bit. He said, “Madam, help me to the car first. Let’s get away from here quickly…this place is too terrifying!”
When they got to the car, Liu Shishi, Yun Mengxi, and Yang Yin were all shocked.
“Junior Harrison… you’re not going to go blind like this, are you?”
Yun Mengxi worriedly said, “You’re so young, what will you do if you go blind… or, you could commit suicide. When you die, I’ll turn your soul into a fierce ghost and your body into a zombie. That way there will be two of you.”
Xu Yang: “…”
He was both angry and amused by her words. He couldn’t help but curse, “Don’t worry, I won’t go blind. It should heal after some rest…”
Only after Liu Shishi drove out of Lintong County did Xu Yang finally let out a long breath, saying, “I’ll never come back to Lintong County again before I become a Land Immortal…”
“Xu Yang, what exactly did you see?”
The girls were very curious about this incident.
With Xu Yang’s current cultivation base, he was considered quite powerful in the martial world’s Daoist sect. He just took a look and was blinded. They couldn’t imagine what kind of existence would have such mighty power.
Xu Yang shook his head and said, “I used the Heavenly Eye Talisman to temporarily open my Heavenly Eye to observe the mausoleum of Emperor Qin Shi Huang. I discovered a strange gray mist covering the entire mausoleum, and I wanted to see it more clearly… Then I felt a powerful aura erupting from the inside of the mausoleum. After that, I felt a sharp pain in my eyes and became temporarily blind.”
“If you’re blind, you’re blind. Why call it ‘temporarily blind’? What’s the use of being so elegant?”
Yun Mengxi mocked him.
Of course, she was joking.
Damn!
Xu Yang was gritting his teeth with resentment!
He was now sitting in the back seat, between Yun Mengxi and Yue Yuluo. So, he randomly shoved Yun Mengxi…
“Air!”
Yun Mengxi let out a low exclamation.
Xu Yang felt a soft touch and was delighted. Smiling, he said, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry… I can’t see!”
His mood improved quite a bit.
It seemed…
This temporary blindness wasn’t such a bad thing?
