Survive, the rules of rebirth for the villain witch

"Does our ancestor have any portraits left behind?"

During dinner, You Huang asked Chu Ce directly and mentioned Yu Chengjing's words in passing.

Chu Ce hesitated for a moment and said, "It's been too long. Daddy can't guarantee that there are any portraits left in the world."

You Huang recalled the process of digging the grave: "I saw many portraits in the ruins of the imperial palace, but the empress in the portraits was wearing a mask. Logically, no one in the future should know what the empress looked like, unless they have seen the empress's coffin."

Shen Zhaojun looked at his daughter and said, "If they really draw a portrait, as long as we don't admit it, others will naturally have no say. They can't dig up our ancestral tombs."

"My husband, to avoid having too many nightmares, it is better to send the empress's coffin to the ancestral mausoleum as soon as possible." Shen Zhaojun turned to ask Chu Ce. Chu Ce hesitated and said, "The ancestral mausoleum is in Zhongzhou. It will take several months to go back and forth. I can't spare the time now."

"Besides, the coffin is such a big target. If we want to send it out of Tiandu City without being noticed, we must have the help of gods..."

Chu Ce was halfway through his words when his eyes suddenly fell on his daughter: "Huang'er, you can go to Yinghuo Country and back in seven days, so it shouldn't take you long to go to Zhongzhou."

"We'll set out after lunch. If nothing unexpected happens, we'll be back at the beginning of the night." You Huang thought for a moment and said, "The problem is that my daughter doesn't know the location of the ancestral tomb, and she doesn't understand the mechanisms inside the tomb."

"I'll go with you." Chu Ce thought for a moment and said, "It's a bit rushed today, let's go back to your grandmother tomorrow."

"Eat quickly." He put a piece of abalone into Youhuang's bowl and said, "Try this abalone with sauce. The kitchen spent a lot of time preparing it. Make it according to your taste."

You Huang picked up the abalone and took a bite. While eating, he was thinking about whether the portrait mentioned by Yu Chengjing existed. Then he heard Shen Zhaojun say, "Now that I think about it, Princess Shude's strange reaction on the Flower Goddess Festival, could it be that she really has a portrait of the empress in her hand?"

"Don't be afraid of the painted image. As long as we don't admit it, they can't do anything to us." You Huang said disapprovingly: "We can use magic to defeat magic. They spread the word that I am the reincarnation of Empress Da Lin, so I will make up a bigger rumor to divert people's attention."

"For now, we can only take one step at a time."

Looking at her daughter's little face that had not yet grown up, Shen Zhaojun was helpless. Who could have thought that she really gave birth to an ancestor.

Youhuang had a good appetite. He ate all the dishes on the table, then returned to Wangshu Tower with a bulging belly. He took a comfortable bath and went to bed to rest. He could go on a long journey again tomorrow. He wondered what Zhongzhou would be like.

In my previous life, I only knew that the most famous thing in Zhongzhou was Zhongzhou Ridge, a vast area that ran through the east-west mountain range, clearly dividing the north and south of the Fuguang Dynasty.

There are many legends about Zhongzhou Ridge. Some say that there are wild men in Zhongzhou Ridge, and some say that there is a small country hidden inside. The country is proficient in various smelting techniques and can produce bronze trees as tall as towering ancient trees.

Some people also say that there is an ancient tomb hidden inside. Legend has it that finding the tomb can reveal the secret of eternal youth.

In my previous life, I was so busy practicing that I didn’t go out for a walk. Tomorrow I will be able to see the beauty of Zhongzhou Ridge. I fell asleep unknowingly while I was daydreaming.

He didn't pay attention in class the next day. He finally waited until the get out of class was over. When he returned to the mansion, Chu Ce took him to the ancestral hall.

The old lady and Chu Wen were already waiting inside. They pointed at the three living things and six livestock on the table and said to You Huang, "Originally, we should have sent the empress's coffin back to the ancestral mausoleum in a grand manner, but in order to avoid being discovered, many festivals should be waived. However, these offerings and sacrificial items must be taken with you. Is that okay with you?"

"The space in the storage ring is bigger than that of the Marquis of Martial God's Mansion. It can hold all the things." After saying that, You Huang put the things on the table into the storage ring. Then he walked to the coffin, knelt down and bowed under the old lady's instruction before putting the things into the storage ring.

"Is there anything else you want to bring?" You Huang turned around and asked.

"No more, you two should go quickly and come back quickly, so as not to let anyone notice anything unusual."

You Huang summoned the Wuji Sword and jumped onto it. Chu Ce hesitated and said, "Huang'er, can such a small sword really be carried by two people?"

"Don't worry, I won't let you fall."

Youhuang said this, but he still chanted the incantation to make the sword look bigger.

Chu Ce took a deep breath and stepped on the sword. When he came to his senses, he was already floating in the air and was about to leave Tiandu City.

They didn't know that when Wuji Sword moved, Xue Zun also sensed it: "It's getting dark soon, the little girl is not in the mansion, why is she flying out of the city on the sword?"

Thinking of the demon cultivators coveting her in secret, she couldn't rest for even a moment...

After entering Zhongzhou, looking at the endless mountains below, Youhuang asked curiously: "Dad, it's dark when we get to Zhongzhou Ridge, how can we find the ancestral tomb?"

"You'll know when you get there."

Flying on the sword, Chu Ce felt like he was dreaming at first.

He then dared not look down, let alone move, for fear that the sword would lose balance and fall if it shook.

The situation improved after entering the Zhongzhou area, but in fact, you have to look. The speed of flying the sword is too fast, and it is easy to fly over if you don't look.

"arrive."

Chu Ce pointed to the magnificent Yang Tomb on the peak below.

Youhuang descended quickly. From the sky, it looked like a very clean grave, but when it came down, it turned out to be a small villa.

"The ancestral tomb is built so obviously, aren't you afraid of attracting tomb robbers?" Youhuang felt that the tomb was built like this, which was somewhat blatant. Besides, the empress's coffin was large and heavy. How was it transported up there in the first place? The wisdom of the ancients was indeed immeasurable.

Chu Ce disagreed and said, "Unless the tomb robber is as capable as you and can fly in the sky, he would have no way of knowing that there is a tomb up there."

"How did our ancestors transport the coffin up here?" You Huang asked curiously. Chu Ce said calmly, "We made it with local materials. There's no need to transport it up here. We just need to send the coffin in. Don't worry about how our ancestors did it."

"move."

Chu Ce walked towards the courtyard first.

Youhuang followed behind curiously. The house had three entrances and three exits, and was much more luxurious than the houses that many people lived in.

Although it was on the top of the mountain, the yard was still a bit deserted because no one had cleaned it for many years, and the altar was covered with a lot of dust.

When Chu Ce was about to clean up, suddenly a strange halo of light swept across, and the courtyard became clean. Turning back, he saw his daughter's gesture to stop.

"This is……"

"Purification."

Youhuang answered lazily, otherwise he would not be able to finish cleaning before dawn.

Chu Ce said calmly: "Put all the sacrificial items on the altar."

After putting everything in place one by one, Chu Ce took his daughter to pay her respects without any neglect.

When the oil candles lit up, You Huang discovered that there was a small door at each end of the altar, but he didn't know where they led to.

After offering incense and praying a few more times, Chu Ce stepped forward and gently turned the incense burner with both hands.

Youhuang heard a click and the sound of the mechanism being activated.

"Huang'er, go to the back."

Chu Ce was the first to walk into the small door next to the altar.
