Chapter 538 Soul Salvation
Fu Ling bought some Yuanbao candles from Kuaiyimao. It had been so long, and it was still unknown whether the family's incense had been extinguished. Now that he had met them and learned about their past experiences, the only thing he could do was to send them on their way.
Lu Beichen snatched the incense and candle from Fu Ling's hand. Although his expression couldn't be seen clearly due to the gas mask, one could tell from his voice that he was feeling rather depressed at the moment, and his voice was somewhat subdued. "Let me do it."
He took out a lighter from his pocket to light the incense and candles, but something unexpected happened. The white candle that had just been lit went out automatically without any wind.
The two did not take it seriously, thinking that there was something wrong with the candle, so they relit it. The situation was similar to before. They tried it several times and the same problem occurred every time, even when they changed a candle.
This place is closed all year round, with no air circulation. Even if there was a breeze, it would take a strong gust to blow out the candles. Two people would be enough to notice it, but the truth is... there is no wind at all! Yet, the candles won't light.
Fu Ling suddenly remembered a tomb-raiding novel he had read, "Ghost Blows Out the Light," which specifically mentioned this kind of situation: "People light candles, ghosts blow out the lights, and when the rooster crows, the lights go out and you can't touch the gold."
Of course, there is an explanation from a scientific point of view. The ancient tombs have been buried deep underground for thousands of years, and the air is not circulating, so the oxygen content may be a problem.
In order to test whether the tomb god is in danger, a candle will be lit. If the candle goes out, it means that the oxygen in the tomb is reduced and staying inside may be life-threatening, so the tomb robber needs to leave immediately to save his life.
But Fu Ling didn't think so. She had already traveled through the world of a book, so what was wrong with someone else's spirit warning? She felt that nothing was more outrageous than what had happened to her, and even felt that any strange situation that happened seemed reasonable.
With this thought, Fu Ling cleared her throat and bowed deeply to the Terracotta Warriors. Her expression was extremely sad. "I don't know if you can understand what I'm saying, brothers... Hello, I come from the future. After thousands of years of dynasties, the outside world is no longer the same as it used to be. We apologize for disturbing your peace by coming here without permission."
He and Lu Beichen bowed again to the Terracotta Warriors before continuing, "We have no ill intentions. We stumbled upon this place by accident. We deeply respect your deeds. By the way, the man next to me is also a warrior. We later generations would call him a soldier. He is also someone who has devoted his life to his country. He is the same kind as you."
As she spoke, she observed her surroundings to see if there were any changes. Seeing none, she continued to talk to the air: "Brothers, heroic warriors, you have stayed here long enough. I just want to bring you freedom. Time has passed. There is no emperor in the world now. Society advocates democracy and freedom. It is undeniable that the wonderful life we have now is closely related to your selfless dedication. Without you, there would be no happy home we have now, people living and working in peace and contentment, and the country would be prosperous..."
At the end, Fu Ling was touched and said with emotion: "Thank you very much for your desperate protection. Now you can be free. Let go of that painful experience, and let go of yourselves..."
After saying that, he and Lu Beichen bowed three times to the Terracotta Warriors.
Regardless of whether the soul exists or not, she wanted to say those words to these soldiers from the bottom of her heart.
When I finished the last bow, a strong wind blew around me, blowing the dust on the ground into the sky. The wind made my exposed skin feel a little cold when it blew across it.
Lu Beichen subconsciously protected Fu Ling and held her in his arms. Fu Ling was worried that Lu Beichen would be hurt, so she hugged him back and wanted to slip into the boundary bead. As soon as she had this thought, the strong wind around her disappeared instantly, and it was replaced by deathly silence, as if it was just an illusion.
But the dust in the sky cannot deceive people.
After waiting for about half a minute and seeing that there was still no response, the two let go of each other. Fu Ling gestured to Lu Beichen, who understood and took out his lighter to light the candle in his hand.
This time the incense and candles did not go out, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. They were lucky to have met a group of reasonable people. If they had met a barbaric group, they would have turned the world upside down.
Lu Beichen looked gloomy, feeling sorry for these iron-blooded soldiers. They were born at the wrong time and did not meet a wise ruler. He hoped that they could live a healthy life without illness or pain in the next life.
The two men squatted down and burned some paper money for the soldiers.
"I don't know your names, so I'll call you brothers. Take this money and bribe the judge to give you a good rebirth. Don't join the army in your next life. You can go into business and be a conscientious businessman. When you make money, you can do charity, which is also a good deed. Now we live in a society ruled by law. If the emperor breaks the law, he will be punished just like the common people. Uh... that's not right, because we don't have an emperor anymore. Our leaders are elected by the people, and virtue is the most important thing. Even if they are in a high position, once they break the law, they will be punished by law. So, brothers, there is no need for us to fight and kill. Being a good citizen is the greatest contribution we can make to our motherland."
Lu Beichen was originally in a heavy mood, but he was amused by Fu Ling's words. He knew that this was not a suitable occasion to laugh, but he couldn't help it, and his lips unconsciously curled up. His wife was so cute, brave, optimistic and positive.
"Brothers, I don't know if you've left yet, but I have something I want to discuss with you... It's about whether you stay or go. If you're willing, I can take you away from here and let you rest in peace somewhere beautiful. I wonder if you're willing? Let me light a candle. If it burns, it means you have no objection. If it goes out, we'll respect your decision."
Fu Ling did not make the decision on his own. Since souls exist, it is better to respect their wishes, otherwise good intentions may lead to bad results.
I lit the candle with trepidation in my heart, but deep down I naturally hoped that they could be freed.
After waiting for about half a minute, the candle was still burning. Without hesitation, the two began to put the Terracotta Warriors into the space ring. Fu Ling had already thought about their destination.
It took a lot of time to collect these terracotta warriors. In addition to the terracotta warriors, there were also chariots. The chariot was pulled by eight horses at the same time. The area on the chariot was very large. In order to prevent the people on the horses from falling off while they were running, a circle of guardrails was built around the chariot. There was a semicircular hollow iron handle on the guardrail every one person. Once encountering bumps, the soldiers on the chariot could grab the iron handle to prevent themselves from being easily thrown out. A chariot could carry about twenty people. Standing on it and using a spear, one could not only poke the horse's legs, but also stab the infantry.
