Chapter 252: Strive to Become a National God Together
Yi Mobao's scalp exploded and he wished he could kick Helian Ziyu out!
However, Yi Mobao held back and looked at Helian Ziyu in confusion: "Ziyu, what's wrong?"
"Brother Mobao, why don't we work together? I've been thinking recently that it's fate that God has made you and me both candidates for the national god. In this case, you and I can both become national gods, so that we can never be separated."
Seeing that Helian Ziyu was serious, Yi Mobao really wanted to pry open this idiot's head and see if his brain was filled with paste to make him say such incredible words.
However, Yi Mobao held back and smiled even more brightly: "Okay, then no matter what information you and I have, we will tell each other and strive to become national gods together."
That night, the moon was dark and the wind was high.
Yi Qianhuan, wearing night clothes, followed Ji Chilian all the way to the prison where the Qin family was imprisoned.
With Ji Chilian's advance arrangements, Yi Qianhuan met Qin Xue in the cell smoothly.
Qin Xue was whipped and was covered in wounds, looking extremely miserable.
However, even though she was seriously injured, she remained vigilant. When she heard the footsteps of Yi Qianhuan and the other person, she raised her head and looked at them.
Seeing Qin Xue looking at her calmly, Yi Qianhuan directly pulled down the veil on her face.
"Governor, Madam Crown Prince, are you here to save me?" Qin Xue looked at the two of them with anticipation in her eyes.
"Whether we save her or not depends entirely on whether the head of the Qin family is willing to cooperate with us." Yi Qianhuan said, walking in front of Qin Xue and helping her untie her first.
Qin Xue's body was originally tied to a pillar with chains and ropes. Suddenly, it fell down and landed on the ground with a heavy thud.
"I wonder how the Crown Prince's wife and the Governor want me to cooperate with you?" Qin Xue staggered to her feet, panting as she spoke.
Yi Qianhuan could tell at a glance that Qin Xue was weak. He watched her stand with her back straight and without any slackness in her demeanor under such circumstances.
It was rare to see someone so proud, Yi Qianhuan asked: "I want to know if the treasures left by the first national god were really hidden by the Qin family?"
Qin Xue frowned, sighed and said, "Madam, our Qin family really doesn't have any hidden treasures..."
"Master Qin doesn't have to rush to answer our questions." Ji Chilian interrupted Qin Xue before she finished speaking.
"Master Qin can wait until I finish speaking before deciding whether to tell us the truth."
Qin Xue looked at Ji Chilian deeply and nodded in agreement.
Yi Qianhuan had no idea what Ji Chilian was going to say, and she was also curious about how this man was going to bring up Qin Xue.
"A hundred years ago, the previous reincarnation of the national god appeared. At that time, she obtained 50% of the national god's power. This power was not enough to protect hundreds of people across the country. Therefore, the previous reincarnation of the national god, Liu Huaniang, knelt in front of the statue of the first national god and begged the national god to grant her the remaining 50% of the national god's power, so that she could protect innocent people."
"Unfortunately, Liu Huaniang did not move the gods. Instead, she died after kneeling and begging for mercy for seven days without sleep. The historical records at that time clearly stated that after Liu Huaniang's death, it was the Qin family who helped dispose of her body and built her tomb."
"As the servants of the first national god, our Qin family naturally has to personally handle all the funeral affairs of the reincarnated national god." Qin Xue looked calm, glanced at Ji Chilian and asked, "Master Du, you didn't come to this prison just to reminisce about the past, did you?"
"Master Qin, don't worry. I haven't finished what I want to say." Ji Chilian pondered for a moment, and then continued: "Not only the previous reincarnation of the national god, but also the previous one, and all the reincarnations of the national god before that, all died because of their own lack of ability. As far as I know, those who have been able to become the reincarnation of the national god so far, they often only have 50% of the power of the national god."
"Fifty percent of the power of the national god is not enough to protect the country. Therefore, every national god reincarnated will eventually find it difficult to break free of this cycle, until they die in the hope of finding more divine power. This is an unbreakable fate for all national god reincarnations, which is why national god reincarnations never live long."
Yi Qianhuan stood aside with his arms folded across his chest. When he heard this, he felt anxious.
She had never heard of these past events.
According to Ji Chilian's statement, if Mo Bao becomes the reincarnation of the national god, wouldn't it be very likely that he would follow the path of destruction like his predecessors in the past?
Qin Xue looked at Ji Chilian deeply and said, "The reincarnation of the national gods is just reincarnation. They are just a carrier of the power of the national gods. After all, they are mortals and cannot bear all the power of gods. Therefore, all this is their fate, and none of us can stop it."
"I have always believed this. Like everyone else, I even thought that the Qin family was just a family that served the reincarnation of the national god. They served the reincarnation of the national god for generations, accompanied them throughout their lives, and saw them off to their graves. Until I discovered that there were actually no bodies in the graves of the reincarnations of the national gods buried by the Qin family."
Yi Qianhuan saw Qin Xue tremble all over, and there was a look of disbelief in his eyes: "There are no bodies of theirs in the tombs of the reincarnated gods?"
"That's right. All the corpses that the Qin family was responsible for handling have disappeared. Whether it's the tomb of Liu Huaniang, the most recent reincarnation of the national god, or other reincarnations of the national gods, there are only empty coffins without any body parts." Ji Chilian said with certainty.
“Ji Chilian, how do you know all this?!” Qin Xue guessed the only possibility, her face turned pale and blue: “You, you dare to dig up the graves of the reincarnations of the national gods without permission?!”
Yi Qianhuan couldn't help but smack his lips when he heard this.
If someone else did such an outrageous thing, she would definitely be shocked.
However, if Ji Chilian was the one who did this, she would just think it was natural.
After all, the Ji Chilian she knew would always do whatever it takes to get the truth.
"So, does the head of the Qin family deny the discovery of the Dugong?" Yi Qianhuan seized the opportunity and pressed on: "Let's not talk about whether the Dugong's behavior is disrespectful to the national god, at least he discovered the truth, and his actions are understandable. But your Qin family said that you will see off the reincarnations of the national gods to their final resting place, but where did you actually take the bodies of those reincarnations of the national gods?"
Qin Xue's face was gloomy. She clenched her teeth and did not give any response.
"It seems that the head of the Qin family is still unwilling to tell the truth." Ji Chilian did not force it and gave Yi Qianhuan a meaningful look, "Madam, it doesn't matter if we don't know the truth. I believe that as soon as this news comes out, everyone from the emperor to the ordinary people will definitely try their best to investigate the truth."
