Chapter 975: The Method to Remove the Curse
The scene before Jiang Fenghua returned to calm and disappeared before his eyes. The disaster Jiang Fenghua had seen did not reappear. At this time, the female voice sounded again, "What you just saw was the Yinchuan Kingdom a thousand years ago. This is the truth behind the demise of the Yinchuan Kingdom."
Jiang Fenghua didn't know if she was dreaming. She would never forget the scene she had just seen. Since she had lived two lives, she was not too surprised. She regained her composure and asked in a deep voice, "You are Ashina Xue, the Queen of Yinchuan."
Ashina Xue said, "Yes."
Jiang Fenghua tried to stand up and began to look for her everywhere. She was also on guard. It was really weird. The first "person" she saw when she arrived in Xichuan was the legendary Queen of Yinchuan. Ever since the rumors of the Queen of Yinchuan spread in Shengjing, she felt that this matter was not simple. Why did these rumors come from Xiao Shang's mouth? Before this, no one knew about the Yinchuan Kingdom. Perhaps Xiao Shang was just Ashina Xue's messenger.
But Xiao Shang knew some enchanting magic, could it be that Xiao Shang was behind this again? What she had just experienced was all an illusion.
If it was really Xiao Shang's doing, she would have to be careful to find the flaws in the illusion. This time, she was obviously wrong.
Ashina Xue saw the rich emotions in her eyes and suddenly smiled. "You can't see me, but my soul can no longer leave Yinchuan. My body and spirit have turned into the air here. Only in this way can I protect my people. I'm not someone sent to harm you. I'm Ashina Xue, the Queen of Yinchuan. It was indeed me who led you to Yinchuan."
Speaking of the word "common people", Ashina Xue's voice became a little sad, and she didn't even dare to mention it again. She had been here for a thousand years and had to face the fact that Yinchuan Kingdom had perished long ago.
Jiang Fenghua seemed to be able to sense that she was in a bad mood. At the same time, Ashinaxue could actually hear what she was thinking. "Everyone is scolding you for learning sorcery and bringing about a catastrophe that caused the entire Yinchuan Kingdom to suffer landslides and mountain torrents. The entire Yinchuan Kingdom just disappeared from the world. You have always blamed yourself for killing them, so you are sad. But doesn't your Yinchuan Kingdom have the secret art of resurrection? Why don't you use your secret art to save them?"
Ashina Xue said in a heavy voice, "It's useless. The Ashina clan's secret techniques are against the laws of nature. I did something wrong, which is why I brought about the heavenly calamity and harmed Yinchuan..."
Only then did Jiang Fenghua realize that the secret techniques of the Ashi clan could not be activated at will. It was because she activated the secret techniques in order to save her beloved man that she brought about the heavenly calamity. In the end, the man was saved, but after the natural disaster, her beloved man also died, and the entire Yinchuan Kingdom was harmed.
Ashinaxue thought that after a thousand years, she had long forgotten the past and would no longer be sad. Time had smoothed everything over. However, when she poured the memories of Yinchuan Kingdom into Jiang Fenghua's mind, she could not help but shed tears of regret: "It is indeed all my fault. If I hadn't used the secret technique without authorization, such a great disaster would not have happened."
Jiang Fenghua asked: "Since your Ashina clan knows the art of rebirth, why don't you use it to change the disaster in Yinchuan?"
"I tried, but it's no use. I made such a big mistake. It no longer works. I have no ability to bring Yinchuan back to life." Ashina Xue always thought that the natural disaster was caused by her.
Jiang Fenghua understood instantly, "So even if I find the Lady of Yinchuan now, I can't save the people of Da Zhou, and I can't change the disaster brought to Da Zhou by this landslide. Just like the ancient Yinchuan Kingdom also suffered landslides and flash floods, even if the Lady knows the art of rebirth, you can't save Yinchuan. So, what is the purpose of the Lady waiting for me to come here? How do you know my name is Jiang Fenghua, and even know Xiao Shang is different."
Ashina Xue explained, "The flower between your eyebrows is called Manjusaka, also known as the other shore flower. Since the fall of Yinchuan Kingdom, this mark has become the other shore curse."
"The Other Shore Curse?"
"That's right. Legend has it that those who died with resentment are unwilling to cross the River of Oblivion. Their resentment condenses into a red spider lily mark, which then parasitizes their reincarnated bodies." Ashina Xue explained, "Over the past thousand years, I've done my best to help many people from Yinchuan reincarnate as humans. They've long since let go of their resentment and left the Ghost Realm."
Jiang Fenghua said, "I still don't understand what you mean, Lady. What does the flower ornament between my eyebrows have to do with the red spider lily of the Yinchuan Kingdom? Am I also from Yinchuan Kingdom?"
She thought of Zhang Yumo and Xiao Shang again, and said, "There is a woman named Zhang Yumo who also has the mark of the Other Shore Curse on her wrist like me, but why doesn't Xiao Shang have it?"
Ashina Xue said, "Those who have the Other Shore Curse are born with resentment. This mark has awakened the resentment in your past life, making you its host, and killing the person you hate the most."
"So the woman in red is really me in my previous life, and she hates Xie Shang." Jiang Fenghua murmured to himself.
Ashina Xue said, "Why don't you say you hate him? The woman in red doesn't exist at all. She is just an illusion created by the resentment in your spirit. You should say you hate him."
Jiang Fenghua couldn't believe what she heard, "The person I hate the most... is Xie Shang." She had clearly let go of her love and hatred for Xie Shang long ago. All she wanted was the power he gave her. They were in a cooperative relationship.
Ashina Xue sighed, "Without love, where would hatred come from? The deeper the love, the deeper the hatred."
Jiang Fenghua knew that she could read minds, and she even knew what she was thinking. She asked, "Does the lady know about my past life?"
Ashina Xue shook her head. "I don't know. I don't have the ability to explore other people's pasts, but I know that you are a reborn person, and you are a kind-hearted person."
"But my evil thoughts are to destroy the world and kill Xie Shang. How can I be kind? I am just a selfish person. I will not do anything that is not good for me. The first thing I think of is my own interests, and then others." Jiang Fenghua said self-deprecatingly.
Ashina Xue didn't expect Jiang Fenghua to be so frank. "If you said that you thought of others first, I would say you were hypocritical. You dare to admit your selfishness, then you are kind. Everyone has selfishness. If you were a bad person, you would have been killed by your own evil thoughts. It is because your kindness defeated the evil thoughts that you were able to wake up from the illusion. Jiang Fenghua, do you want to see the flower ornaments on your eyebrows?"
Jiang Fenghua took out a small bronze mirror and saw that the other shore curse between her eyebrows had disappeared. She said, "Will it never appear again?"
"Not necessarily. When your evil thoughts overcome your good thoughts, it will still appear. If you don't get rid of your inner demons, they will torment you for the rest of your life."
Jiang Fenghua didn't even dare to say that she had no evil thoughts. She asked, "Is there any other way to completely remove the curse of the other shore and make it disappear forever?"
Ashina Xue said, "The curse can only be completely broken if the person under the curse kills the person they hate the most, or sacrifices their own life."
Jiang Fenghua understood what she meant. The woman in red... No, the person she hated the most was Xie Shang. Did she have to kill Xie Shang with her own hands for her evil thoughts to disappear?
Jiang Fenghua analyzed the situation calmly before saying, "My Lady, you haven't told me yet. What is your purpose in bringing me here? How do you know that I am a reborn person? And Xiao Shang is also a reborn person. Why did he come here?"
"First, let's take a look at your connection with Yinchuan Country!"
Of course, the Queen of Yinchuan hopes that Jiang Fenghua will do things for her. She doesn't have much time left here, but she still has a lot of things to do and many people to save. Her wishes and sins have not been repaid yet, and she only needs Jiang Fenghua's star map to help her complete them.
