Chapter 257
Qin Yun had already pushed open the door. Just as he was about to enter, old man Dragon Bull suddenly flashed and appeared behind him. He released a powerful force that enveloped his body.
"Senior, what are you doing?" Qin Yun was unable to move. He was alarmed because his Nine Yang Divine Spirit was exposed.
"Brat, where did your Nine Yang Divine Spirit come from? Not to mention you, even the Immortals of the Immortal Desolate land would not be able to enter the Immortal Graveyard and you would definitely not be able to. Quickly, tell me, how did you get your Nine Yang Divine Spirit?" The old man was very anxious and hurriedly asked.
Suddenly, a gentle and pleasant voice was heard from the corridor behind the golden door. "Grandpa Bull, don't make things difficult for him. I gave him the Nine Yang Divine spirit!"
Dragon Bull's skinny body suddenly trembled and he quickly kneeled, "Young Mistress!! Young mistress, when did you come out?"
After the energy enveloping Qin Yun disappeared, he hurriedly entered the pa.s.sageway. He was also rather alarmed. That gentle and pleasant voice just now belonged to Xie Qirou.
"Grandpa Bull, I'll tell you in the future. This matter is too complicated, you just need to rest." Xie Qirou's voice came from the corridor.
Qin Yun walked quickly through the golden pa.s.sageway as the golden crystal door gradually closed. Old Man Dragon Bull did not follow but said "Understood!"
The daughter of that certain generation's Witch had been buried in the Immortal Graveyard. The Witch was the master of the Dragon Bull and that Dragon Bull had called Xie Qirou 'Young Mistress'!
That meant that Xie Qirou was the daughter of the Witch but wasn't she buried in the Immortal Graveyard?
Qin Yun walked to the end and opened the door. He entered a cold crystal room.
In the center of the room, there was a pale golden crystal bed. Sitting on the bed was a woman with her back facing Qin Yun. Her long hair fell to her waist as she wore a white dress that covered the crystal bed.
"Xiao Yun, don't come near me!" Sensing that Qin Yun was about to come over, she shouted softly, "I'm in danger right now. I'm worried I'll hurt you."
"Big sister Grand Preceptor, did that s.l.u.t, Empress Ye, harm you? I've already killed them all!" Qin Yun said angrily.
"It's not that but it's also related to them. In short, this is all in the past." Xie Qirou's voice was filled with a joyful laughter. "I'm really happy that you're here. You've grown up really fast, much faster than I expected."
"Elder sister Grand Preceptor, it's all thanks to the Nine yang Divine Spirit!" Qin Yun looked at the string of black beads on his wrist and asked, "I obtained a set of inscriptions in the first bead. What's in the second bead?"
"I don't know. I can only open the first bead. It originally contained these inscriptions but I'm not very good at it, so I left them in there for you. I didn't expect you to grasp them so well and understand them so quickly."
"It was Little MeiLian who told me that the Myriad Star Lake waves was very beautiful at night. After I went to take a look, I discovered the star chart." Qin Yun said with a smile, "Little MeiLian misses you too. She really wants to meet you!"
"She will definitely see me in the future!" Xie Qirou chuckled. "I'm very happy to see that all of you are having a good time. If your mother knew, she would be happy too."
"Elder sister Grand Preceptor, what exactly happened that caused my mother's death? Me, Little Mei, Yuelan... Our mothers all died in a very bizarre way, having to do with the Immortal Graveyard Diagram but I don't think this matter is that simple." When Qin Yun thought of his mother, he could not help but feel sad.
"Your mothers can still be resurrected, their souls are trapped in the Immortal Graveyard. As long as soul is intact, you will be able to reconstruct their physical body in the future. I was the one who harmed them. If I hadn't appeared in their village, so many things wouldn't have happened."
Qin Yun stood at the door and did not dare to move forward. He was very obedient to Xie Qirou.
Xie Qirou paused for a moment before continuing, "You should already know that I am the daughter of the witch!"
Qin Yun nodded. "However, you should be in the Immortal Graveyard!"
"That's right but my soul has been reincarnated into your mother's village. At that time, my memories were vague and I only gradually recovered them after a few years! When we first obtained the Immortal Graveyard Diagram, there were a total of four of us. Each of us had one of them and all of them contained treasures, two of which contained the Nine Yang Divine Spirit and the Nine Yin Divine Spirit. Your mother and I obtained the two respective Immortal Graveyard Diagram."
As she spoke to here, Xie Qirou sighed softly. "It's all my fault that my memories were fuzzy. If it weren't for that, little Mei's mother wouldn't have been bullied in the Emperor's Palace. Only you and YueLan's mother had a good time but in the end, both of them had the same fate. Their souls were devoured by the Immortal Graveyard Diagram and they were transported to the Immortal Graveyard."
"Why is this happening?" Qin Yun clenched his fist. This was how his mother had died.
"The Immortal Graveyard Diagram was made by my mother. If I successfully reincarnated, the Immortal Graveyard Diagram hidden in a star would fall down and be obtained by me. It would allow me to obtain new power. I would be able to open the Immortal Graveyard in the future."
Xie Qirou replied, "But later on, someone found that star. That person was unable to obtain the Immortal Graveyard Diagram, so in anger he placed a curse so that the soul of the person who obtained it would be sucked away."
"Who is that person?" Qin Yun clenched his fists tightly.
Xie Qirou replied, "Very powerful. He's the overlord of the immortal desolate land. In short, both the Nine Yang Divine Spirit and the Nine Yin Divine Spirit are not in the Immortal Graveyard but your mother's soul is still inside. As long as I save them, I'll have a way to revive them."
"Elder Sister Grand Preceptor, why were you buried in the Immortal Graveyard? Are you really an immortal?" When Qin Yun heard that his and Xiao Yuelan's mother had been reborn, he was extremely happy.
Xie Qirou chuckled at Qin Yun's words. "You could say that! Anyway, you don't have to worry about me right now, I'll be fine after a while! As for you, don't be in such a hurry to go to the Immortal Graveyard. If you don't have enough strength, you'll be in danger. You have the heavy responsibility of bringing your mother back to life, you can't take such risks."
"Elder sister Grand Preceptor, are you very strong?" Qin Yun had a feeling that Xie Qirou's father was definitely very powerful. Perhaps it was her father who had created this Immortal Graveyard.
Xie Qirou said, "You can say that! There are a lot of things left behind in the Immortal Graveyard, which is why so many people covet them. However, this was deliberately done by the creator, so that he could send many people to their deaths and provide a large amount of souls to the Immortal Graveyard for the array formation inside to absorb."
Qin Yun wanted to walk over and look at her beautiful face but he didn't dare to.
"Elder sister Grand Preceptor, when are you going to recover?" Qin Yun asked.
"It's hard to say right now but I'll be fine. Don't worry. You must remember, if you don't have enough strength, you must not go near the Immortal Graveyard" she said softly.
Qin Yun nodded heavily and said, "I will remember it!"
"That's right, sister Grand Preceptor. What is the relations.h.i.+p between Lan Xiao, the founder of Blue Spirit Star Palace and the Crystal Palace?"
"He is my mother's disciple and focuses in the path of Star Martial Arts. He has great potential and I don't know how he is doing right now. My mother seemed to have asked him to do something, so he hasn't come back here for many years. I hope nothing will happen to him. I'm just afraid that my problem will involve him."
"What is it?" Qin Yun asked hurriedly. He could sense that there were many things that Xie Qirou had yet to tell him, especially matters related to her.
"Don't ask! If you become stronger in the future, I will consider whether or not I should tell you." Xie Qirou giggled. "You little rascal, if you knew too much, you wouldn't be cultivating in peace."
Qin Yun said with a smile, "Sister Grand Preceptor, I'm really happy to see you again. Especially after finding out that Imperial Mother could be resurrected, I will definitely work hard to make myself stronger and bring Imperial Mother back to life."
"I am very happy that you have such a heart! I had intended to pa.s.s on some cultivation techniques to you but I felt that the other Nine Yang Divine Spirit pearls might have some cultivation techniques that are more suitable for you. Also, I am worried that my cultivation techniques would bring you trouble. I'll see if you can learn my technique when I get the chance in the future." Xie Qirou said.
"En!" Qin Yun was secretly looking forward to it. He wanted to open the second bead of the Nine Yang Divine Spirit to see what good items were inside.
"Then quickly leave this crystal palace! It's best if you don't come back in the future. I need to rest quietly." Xie Qirou said reluctantly.
Qin Yun's heart was filled with melancholy as he said, "Sister Grand Preceptor, the next time you see me, I'll definitely become stronger."
"That's for the best. Goodbye, Xiao Yun!" Xie Qirou's gentle laughter could be heard.
"Goodbye!" As Qin Yun left the room, the door automatically closed behind him.
As he walked out of the golden corridor, he saw the old man Dragon Bull outside.
"Little brother, how is the Young Mistress?" Dragon Bull asked curiously.
"It should be fine. I don't know much either." Qin Yun was slightly annoyed because Xie Qirou had concealed a lot of things related to her.
"Grandpa Bull, come in. I have something to talk to you about! Xiao Yun, quickly go back!" The old man walked into the corridor, trembling.
Qin Yun sighed inwardly as he turned back the way he came.
Even though he knew a lot about Xie Qirou, he was still in the clouds. In particular, why was Xie Qirou buried in such a terrifying tomb? And who built the graveyard?
After spending a few days at the bottom of the Myriad Star Lake, he had finally returned to the Starsun Treasure Tree.
Just as he returned, Du Gui came over with a pigeon. He said, "Someone has sent a message. The spirit pigeon said that it was looking for Qin Yun. Take a look at the news yourself."
Qin Yun took the pigeon and removed a slip of paper from it's leg. Opening it up, he saw a row of beautiful words.
"Star Xuan Wu Academy, North Star Inn, room twenty, Qin!"
This was Xiao Xuanqin's message to him, inviting him to enter the Tian Xiao Imperial Tomb.
