Chapter 131 The origin of the ghost country
Roland raised the knife and put it on the queen's neck and said, "My knife can be cut by humans or ghosts. Do you want to try it?"
The queen was frightened, and her soul flew out again, begging for mercy in horror, "I was wrong, please don't kill me, I don't want the soul-turning bead, I'll give it to you all."
"I want to know all the information about the Soul-Turning Pearl. If I find that it is hidden, you will definitely not have a second chance. Your body is here and you will not be able to escape." Roland said.
"Okay, okay, Qianyuan Palace was the place where the emperor used the Soul-Turning Pearl to practice. There is the method and origin of the Soul-Turning Pearl to use." The queen said without reservation.
Roland put down his knife and walked outward. The queen breathed a sigh of relief. Roland passed by the Ghost King and saw the imperial concubine leaning against his son, with resentment in her eyes.
What was coming to her mind, and she raised her lips and said to the imperial concubine: "Do you know, how can you turn you back into an ordinary human? Or will your son turn back into a human?"
"You! You... would you help me?" The imperial concubine looked at her with a surprised expression.
"As long as you tell me why your Ghost Country has become like this, I'm very curious about these things. Tell me these things, I can help you and your son become humans for free, of course, you have to tell me the way." Roland said.
"Can't say it." The queen screamed in horror.
Roland turned his head to look at her, and the queen retreated in fear, her face turned extremely ugly.
Roland glanced at the other princesses and female officials and said, "I am not your enemy. If anyone of you is willing to become a human being, I can help you with a normal life. The condition is to tell me what you know."
Now most people showed surprise expressions and all flew over to express their willingness to say it.
The other princess hesitated again and looked at the queen with a very bad face. Finally, she flew to Roland and asked her for help.
Then these people told her the situation in the Ghost Kingdom, and everyone told her what they knew.
The Ghost Kingdom was a small country at the earliest. It was just because the ancestors offended strange people and cursed the royal family, making it impossible for the royal family to see the light. Otherwise, once they encountered the sunlight, their body would turn into a stone statue.
This is why the imperial city was built underground, and many ancient tombs were dug out, including the Soul-Turning Pearl. After several generations of secret investigation, our ancestors finally learned the secret of the Soul-Turning Pearl, and they had the idea of immortality, making the whole clan turn into half-human and half-ghost. Only if they had to go out, they could do it. Otherwise, they would have to be within a mile range of their own body. If they exceeded this range, their souls would be scattered.
So since the Soul-Turning Pearl was deceived by Zhao Huanyu, they have been trapped here for more than two hundred years. It can be said that they have lived like a year, so many people choose to sleep.
When Zhao Huanyu was exploring this place, he discovered the existence of the Ghost Kingdom and used the method of refining corpses to deceive the trust of the Ghost Kingdom emperor. In addition, he was the prince himself, the two reached an alliance. Zhao Huanyu collected materials for them on the ground and gave them a large amount of materials. The Ghost Kingdom emperor was overjoyed and trusted Zhao Huanyu even more, so he taught him the method of transferring souls.
In the end, the emperor was killed by Zhao Huanyu and took away the Soul-Changing Pearl. In order to recover the Soul-Changing Pearl, the queen could only use the corpse refining method to turn the royal men and guards into half-human and half-corpse monsters. This is the Ghost King and the Ghost Envoy, and established a ghost market, secretly using these fugitives to track down the Soul-Changing Pearl.
At the same time, it also absorbs the essence of male fugitives and replenishes their souls. Otherwise, maintaining this soul state for a long time will consume the soul power and lose its soul.
Intoxication is the best way to reduce consumption, so there are seven imperial concubines here, and five are still sleeping.
After knowing the situation, Roland asked, "How can you turn you back into ordinary people."
At this time, the queen shouted: "It's impossible. Our bodies have been frozen for thousands of years. Even if we thaw and use the soul to completely integrate our soul into our bodies, we will not be able to survive. Our bodies have actually died long ago."
Hearing this sentence, the female official and the imperial concubine were both surprised. One of the imperial concubines exclaimed: "Didn't you tell us that in the beginning? The emperor told us that one day we will be able to become living people."
"The emperor lied to you, and the only ones who can truly become human are those who have the Soul-Turning Pearl. Otherwise, will you be willing to stay here?" The queen said helplessly, then pointed to Roland and said, "You are not a living person. If the Soul-Turning Pearl is in your body, it means that you are also living with the body of the snake girl, so you are eager to make relevant information about the Soul-Turning Pearl. I'm right."
"Yes, so I can't help you even if I want to help you." Roland said helplessly. These women are pitiful people. They will be crazy if they have been here for thousands of years. I guess they will live by being able to recover from this obsession.
As a result, I accidentally broke this directly, and many people may not be able to bear it anymore.
At this moment, many female officials were already desperate and sat on the ground with empty eyes.
The queen knew that once the secret was told, they were all over. Seeing that Roland was about to leave, the queen suddenly said, "Wait, you are so powerful. If you can kill Zhao Huanyu and bring his head back to pay tribute to the previous emperor, we are willing to give you the treasure of the Ghost Kingdom."
Hearing this, Roland showed a surprised expression. The queen seemed to guess Roland's thoughts and then said: "You can't take it away. Now everyone has no hope of living. If you want to kill us, everyone will thank you instead. It's meaningless to live alone. If you want to, help us get revenge."
Roland smiled and said, "Okay, I'll bring it to you tomorrow."
"Really! Zhao Huanyu has the method of transferring souls and refining corpse. If his method is successful, no one in the world will be his opponent, and the whole world will always be his Zhao Huanyu." The queen said.
"He is very strong, but he has weaknesses at all. Wait for me to hear from him." Roland turned and left.
At this moment, there were corpses everywhere in the garden outside. These people were all masters of the ghost envoy and the ghost market. The Ghost King originally asked them to come back to surround Roland, but they were all killed by the Red Dragon King.
Roland came out and saw the sleepy Red Dragon King who was lying on the ground. When he smelled Roland's smell, the Red Dragon King woke up immediately. Seeing her, he immediately showed joy, raised his head and shook his head.
"King of Red Dragon, let's go back. That guy should have almost woken up." Roland smiled and jumped onto the head of Red Dragon King, and went back from the passage from where he came from.
But before leaving, she went to Qianyuan Palace first and took all the books about the Soul-Turning Pearl into the item space before going back.
The next morning, Ye Muchen, who had fallen asleep until he woke up naturally, stretched and sat up.
When he walked to the main hall, he saw Roland lying on the ground resting. As long as the two approached, their thoughts could be communicated. He knew everything Roland had experienced last night.
