Chapter 91 New Discoveries
"Thanks to your help, the black energy has weakened considerably," Lingyao said.
Zheng Wudi: "That's good. How are the people who were surrounding the courtyard doing now?"
"I was just about to tell you!" Lingyao said with a smile in her eyes, "They're all much better now. Thank you so much!"
Zheng Wudi thought to himself: This was a last resort. If she hadn't discovered that the black energy had entered her body, she probably wouldn't have dared to try such a thing.
Zheng Wudi remained expressionless, waved to Ling Yao, and said, "I want to go out and see what it's like outside! Do you want to come with me?"
As Zheng Wudi finished speaking, he realized he was being a bit foolish. Ling Yao had clearly just returned from outside and probably wouldn't go out again.
Zheng Wudi was about to walk outside when he heard a noise coming from the gate.
Zheng Wudi shifted his gaze to the gate and noticed that there were many people outside!
Zheng Wudi looked at Ling Yao with a puzzled expression, asking, "Didn't we agree on a lot?"
This doesn't look much better!
Lingyao gestured with his chin toward the people outside the door, indicating that Zheng Wudi should take a closer look.
Ah! It's definitely much better.
At least there aren't as many lines on my face anymore.
My eyes have returned to normal.
However, it seems that it still doesn't have any self-awareness.
Lingyao seemed to understand what Zheng Wudi meant but didn't say, and explained, "It hasn't returned to normal yet. It may take a long time to slowly recover."
Zheng Wudi nodded, indicating that he understood.
Zheng Wudi only spent a short time exploring this place during the daytime on the first day.
Also, because I had something on my mind, I didn't look at it carefully.
Now you can go and see what's happening on the street.
This is a genuine ancient street, not one of those imitation ancient streets in real life.
It has a very different flavor.
How come these things still look so fresh?
The sugar paintings at that sugar stall were incredibly lifelike!
But even if sugar doesn't spoil easily, it can't last this long, right?
Zheng Wudi noted these questions down in his mind, thinking that he must ask Lingyao how it was maintained when he returned later.
Is the power of this great formation really that amazing?
The street was quite long. Zheng Wudi walked along the street and reached the city gate.
The city gates remained closed.
Zheng Wudi wandered around aimlessly, seemingly bored.
How come this small town still has these things?
This brings us back to what we just discussed.
Zheng Wudi wandered around aimlessly and ended up at a mansion gate.
The gate of the mansion looked very unusual, and it was very solemn.
Next to the main gate, there was a small door.
The main gate was tightly closed, but the small door was not completely shut.
Zheng Wudi slipped through the crack in the small door and went inside.
I discovered something different.
Is this some kind of imperial workshop?
How come there are so many weapons piled up here?
However, many of the weapons here are rotten.
Zheng Wudi picked up a bow and examined it in his hand.
There was a lot of black mist clinging to the bow.
Zheng Wudi put down the bow and picked up another weapon.
These weapons were found to have been corroded by the black mist to varying degrees.
Some of the weapons even have fingerprints on them.
Zheng Wudi walked inside and found many memorial tablets displayed.
The memorial tablet looks a bit old.
Some of them were covered with white spider webs.
One of the memorial tablets placed below has fallen over.
Zheng Wudi walked over, picked it up, wiped it casually, straightened it, and discovered that the name on the tablet was indeed Lingyao's name.
Zheng Wudi, who was about to leave, stopped in his tracks.
I examined the names on each of the memorial tablets.
However, one memorial tablet was found to be different from the others.
Is that the high priest's memorial tablet that Lingyao mentioned before?
Lingyao also died at that time.
Even if we get rid of this black aura, won't they still die anyway?
Oh! Yes, yes, yes!
It seems their souls are trapped.
However, Lingyao is probably different.
Zheng Wudi recalled that morning when he woke up and saw Lingyao's skeleton.
Zheng Wudi sighed and turned to leave.
·
"Have you finished your search outside?" Lingyao asked Zheng Wudi as he returned.
Zheng Wudi gave a weak "hmm".
Then he walked into the room and, without thinking twice, collapsed to the ground.
Seeing that Zheng Wudi looked exhausted, Lingyao smiled, shook his head, and turned to walk towards the courtyard.
Zheng Wudi lay down for a while to relax, then sat on the threshold of the door, staring blankly outside. He asked, "Lingyao? I have a question for you!"
"What?" Lingyao squatted there, turned his head and replied, "Ask away? I'll tell you everything I know."
"Where did the congee, side dishes, and roast chicken you brought back for me that day come from? These things haven't been sitting for very long, have they?" Zheng Wudi thought about how long those things might have been sitting, and his stomach churned.
I feel like I'm going to throw up.
Lingyao laughed loudly and said, "Don't worry! These things are all freshly made. They're not things that've been sitting around for a long time. Look, there's a kitchen in the backyard, aren't there?"
Zheng Wudi said awkwardly, "Ha! Ha! That's all because of you. You brought me back without explaining why, and I'm not even familiar with this courtyard. But why are all the things in the rooms cleared out? Wasn't the kitchen ransacked?"
Lingyao said, "The original items in the room were indeed missing, but the items in the kitchen were all purchased later."
Zheng Wudi then asked, "Are those sugar figurines and other snacks on the street the same as the roast chicken I ate?"
Lingyao smiled mysteriously and waved to Zheng Wudi.
When Zheng Wudi got closer, he whispered, "Come with me. I'll show you around."
Zheng Wudi thought to himself, "Why is it all so mysterious?"
The legs, however, were very honest, closely following Lingyao's steps.
This time, it seems that both of them have been honest and open about their thoughts, without any hidden agendas.
They quickly arrived at the place Lingyao was taking Zheng Wudi to.
City gate!
What came into Zheng Wudi's view was the tightly closed city gate.
Lingyao gestured with his hands in front of his chest for a while, and then the city gate slowly opened.
Zheng Wudi was completely stunned!
That looks amazing!
Zheng Wudi mimicked Ling Yao's gesture, and as Ling Yao turned around, he immediately withdrew his hand, put it in front of his chest, and turned his head to look elsewhere.
Before Lingyao noticed that some of the black energy had disappeared, his expression wasn't so grave.
But Zheng Wudi's blatant attempt to cover up his guilt was truly hilarious!
Lingyao pretended not to have noticed anything, turned around, coughed a few times, and said, "Let's go! I'll show you some other sights in this small town!"
The two walked out of the city gate.
Looking at the scene before him, Zheng Wudi felt as if a door to a new world had been opened!
