Chapter 293 Mutual Verification
"Desert underground city..."
I had no memory of it whatsoever.
Actually, before this, Rou Yi and Fatty had asked me about the underground city many times, but I had no impression at all, so I told them the truth.
This time, Rou Yi reminded me of this again, and I wondered if she had thought of something.
"Do you have any ideas?" I asked Rou Yi.
"Hmm." A look of disappointment suddenly flashed across Rou Yi's face, but she quickly adjusted herself. She turned to Fatty and said, "Fatty, do you remember the story about the Queen Mother of the West that young master told us in the underground city in the desert?"
Fatty shuddered when he heard the words "Queen Mother of the West."
"I have an impression... I vaguely remember the idea of 'Immortal Mountain Falling' and 'Death of the Queen Mother of the West', as well as the 'Iron Masked Attendant' and so on."
Fatty's memories of the Queen Mother of the West were fragmented. It wasn't his fault; that part was already difficult for him to understand, let alone remember.
However, Rou Yi's memory of this was very deep. Based on her memory, she repeated what I said in the underground city (which I have no memory of at all): "Young master, you told Fatty and me in the underground city that there was a god-like existence on Kunlun Mountain, named Queen Mother of the West. The Queen Mother of the West's power was linked to the Immortal Mountain, and as she approached her death, her control over the Immortal Mountain became weaker and weaker, as did her control over her attendants. Later, the Queen Mother of the West was betrayed by her attendant, the 'Iron Mask', who allowed outsiders Zhang Jiao and Fu Xiumo to enter the Immortal Mountain and colluded with them to steal the Queen Mother of the West's three magical artifacts: the Iron Mask, the Crystal Skull, and the Nine-Section Staff.
Rou Yi continued to recall: "As for what happened after that, young master, you didn't tell Fatty and me, so I don't know."
Rou Yi glanced at Fatty, seeking confirmation: "I should be right, shouldn't I?"
Fatty propped up his head, widened his eyes, and showed a surprised expression: "Not bad, Rou Yi, you deserve to be a top student, your memory is amazing. Although I don't know much about these things, I feel that what you said is similar to what young master said at the time."
After that, Fatty and Rou Yi both turned their eyes to me, and the pressure instantly fell on me.
Their gazes towards me were fervent, and I felt like I was sitting on pins and needles, not knowing what to do for a moment.
"You two, I really have amnesia. You've asked me many times before, and I really can't remember what happened before. You can say whatever you want, I won't argue, and I can't give you a definite answer."
I raised my hands in a gesture of surrender.
Seeing my difficulty, Rou Yi stopped looking at me and said, "Combining what you just said with what we saw and heard in the underground city before, I suddenly had an idea."
Rou Yi pointed to the person lying in the black jade stone coffin: "In the place where the 'Wang Qing statue' is enshrined, such a magical stone platform appeared, as well as such a precious black jade stone coffin. You must know that in ancient times, the status of women was generally lower than that of men. If a woman's stone coffin is placed in the central core position of a place, she must have been very important during her lifetime. I guess the person lying inside should be the Queen Mother of the West that young master mentioned before."
Rou Yi's explanation, combined with the location of the stone coffin and the person lying inside, at first glance, seemed to make sense. Fatty and I nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Rou Yi's statement.
Rou Yi continued, "If the stone coffin in the desert came from here, it would also explain the strange fish bones outside the stone coffin. After all, there is also the Red Sea and strange creatures in the Red Sea here. The two are mutually corroborating."
