Chapter 1649: Hand in Hand for Life 57

day."Your Majesty."Feng Lingxi shouted loudly, Feng Yu Xi Wen Sheng, watching Feng Lingxi walking towards her, she signaled the person to step back and continue feeding the fish."How could the Fourth...The Grand Elder was quite taken aback by Feng Lingxi’s words. This Feng Lingxi, how could she be like the worm in his belly, knowing everything he thought.

"What's with this underground map Could these tunnels have been made by our ancestors"

Though the Grand Elder was extremely displeased, he managed to keep his cool.

"Of course it's what our ancestors did, didn't I just say so Our ancestors had long ago planned to appear in the world a thousand years later. Elder, think about it, why did every ancestor who went to the holy land never return, except my mother who could enter and exit from the beginning"

Feng Ling Xi's words did indeed sound somewhat mystical, and coupled with the high priest's curiosity and greed towards the Holy Land, he readily accepted her claims.

"Elder, the Holy Lord has allowed her husband to send their child forward. We should follow her wishes and carry out her plan. I believe it's feasible. Since our ancestors already know they will appear in this generation, we should cooperate with the Holy Lord and open the gates of the sacred land."

Luo Li put forward the proposal, and the other elders nodded in agreement, finding it reasonable.

After all, Feng Lingxi's husband and children were here. She couldn't possibly kill them to get revenge on the Great Elder. They thought Feng Lingxi truly wanted to do what her ancestors had intended.

"According to the Lord's will, what else do we need to do"

All these Yao people are his. He's not afraid to let her husband and children in. What could a few of them possibly do to him

On this side, the Grand Elder was very confident. Feng Lingxi had gambled her child and husband, what else was there for him to fear

“I need these people to be safe, not one of them can get hurt, and also, I need gunpowder.”

Feng Lingxi's words made Luo Li's heart skip a beat, but the Great Elder didn't understand. He had no idea what this gunpowder was or what it was used for.

"What is this gunpowder for"

Feng Lingxi, fearless in the face of death, said, "The ancestors' instructions required that after the Yao Clan treasure comes into the world, I would use gunpowder to fill her stone coffin."

Have you seen the ancestral sarcophagus

The Grand Elder was startled by Feng Lingxi's words, and upon seeing her nod, his heart pounded with anxiety.

"That ancestor's corpse..."

"Keep it whole, untouched."

The elder's face changed abruptly, and he hastily soothed himself, "This is natural. I didn't expect that after a thousand years, the remains of our ancestors would be preserved so completely."

"Didn't I say that the bodies of all the ancestors through the ages in the Holy Land are suspended in mid-air The bodies of the ancestors would naturally not decay." Feng Lingxi finished speaking and looked at the Grand Elder, "It's just that after the gate of the Holy Land is opened, everything inside will change. The ancestor didn't want her body to be stolen, so she hoped that future generations would fill it with saltpeter, allowing her to sleep peacefully underground."

"Chieftain, what do you think"

The Grand Elder saw Luo Li's silence and called out. Luo Li came back to her senses, glanced at Feng Ling Xi once, she was really calm and composed, he had worried so much just now, but he didn't expect that this was her plan.

"As the Lord said, I think it's reasonable. Once this sacred ground is destroyed, who can guarantee that no one will disturb the ancestors' eternal slumber in the future The ancestors' concerns are also valid, and I find them very well-founded."

"The Lord is the descendant of our ancestors. We all approve of his actions this time, but what kind of stone is gunpowder"

Wind Ling Xi was slightly stunned, looking at Elder Two's naive expression, and said lightly, "It's a kind of stone that can melt corpses. Living people touch it unharmed, but if it is placed with corpses for a long time, the corpses and saltpeter will eventually turn into ashes."

"Such incredible skill, the Lord truly is erudite," Elder Two exclaimed, breaking out in a cold sweat. He hastily praised Feng Lingxi.

"This is all what my ancestors told me. If not, how would I know how gunpowder works" Feng Lingxi said convincingly. Anyway, her ancestors were already dead, she shouldn't mind her rambling, using their name to justify her use of gunpowder openly and aboveboard.

"No wonder the Yao clan's records say our ancestors were the first people in history, with extraordinary beauty, intelligence, and wisdom, practically divine. Now it seems, this is truly not an exaggeration." The Elder praised, looking at Feng Lingxi, "Just do as you please."

Feng Lingxi nodded, "Then I'll go write a letter. As for the gunpowder, when Du Gucheng brings his people, he will bring the gunpowder with him. He knows about the existence of gunpowder."

"Why did he know Could it be that our ancestors had already figured out this person's identity"

“He is a descendant of his ancestors’ family, and his family has also been guarding this secret for generations. Ancestors are omniscient, so they would not leave themselves without an escape route.” Feng Lingxi pushed everything onto her ancestors, and everyone nodded in agreement, believing it implicitly.

"I remember, there was a book that did mention saltpeter once, but...but the contents were too long ago and a page is missing. Looking back now, our ancestors were truly divine, so admirable."

The Eight Elders spoke, expressing their astonishment and admiration for the ancestors.

"Then I will write a letter now, and trouble the Grand Elder to make arrangements for them, escorting them safely there. Also, I need the Grand Elder to do one more thing for me."

"Said."

The Grand Elder had already agreed to Feng Lingxi's request. Feng Lingxi glanced at everyone present, "Grand Elder, I can only talk about this with you alone."

"You all get out."

Although everyone was curious, the Grand Elder had already driven them away. Everyone went out, leaving only Feng Lingxi and the Grand Elder.

"Grand Elder, there's a secret in the Holy Land. I don't know if I can tell them, so I'll tell you first."

Feng Ling hesitated for a moment and said, "The handwriting on my ancestor's palm said that there is a time-space tunnel in the holy land that can lead to another world. But my mother and I searched for a long time but couldn't find it. My ancestor didn't explain where it was. I'm afraid if I tell them, they will all go looking for it, so I want to discuss it with you first and then decide whether to tell them."

"Space-time tunnel"

Although the Grand Elder appeared shocked on the surface, his heart was pounding with excitement.

"Is there really such a place"

"My ancestors' handwriting looked like this, but unfortunately, the moment we finished reading it, it turned to ash. If it hadn't, I could have shown it to you. Perhaps the Grand Elder could then know the location of this time tunnel."

"We opened the sacred site to see the treasures within, the treasures of our Yao Clan. They aren't some kind of time tunnel, don't worry about that, and don't tell anyone else about it either. We fear their greed; if they hear about the time tunnels, they might rush in to find them and delay our plans."

Feng Lingxi nodded. "Then I won't say any more, I'll go write a letter. And I hope the Great Elder will not make things difficult for my daughter after opening the holy land. I want to take them back to the Great Yuan Dynasty, and from then on, let the Great Elder and the Clan Leader manage the Yao clan."

"The Lord is the Lord, wise and mighty. Since you want to choose your own path, I won't make things difficult for you. As long as the gate of the Holy Land opens, she will no longer be the chieftain. It would be truly difficult for a girl to manage such a large Yao clan."

"Thank you, Elder for your understanding. I will do my best to help you."ess, what should we do now This visit from the Fourth Prince and Princess likely means they will report everything back to the court. Then Empress Dowager and Emperor will surely cause another stir."I...
