ETERNAL LOVE : A LOVE STORY

Chapter 756 - The Curse (31 )

Liwei looked around at the abandoned palace and frowned, " But why are we here? Shouldn't we go to the hot spring from where they have come? Wouldn't it be better to do the ritual there?" He suggested.

Xie Ming had her hands crossed in front of her chest and shook her head, " No! The story has to end where it had started. And the curse has to end, where it was given." she said in a low-indifferent tone, making everyone frown in confusion.

Zhao Ming walked towards her and asked in puzzlement," What do you mean? The start of the curse? This is Ji Palace and the curse was given in Yang Palace. How can it be the here-

Her eyes sparkled when the realization hit her. She looked at Xie Ming with widened eyes and asked, " Don't tell me that this palace…" she pointed at the palace in shock, feeling goosebumps all over her body.

Xie Ming smirks seeing her reaction, while Ji Cheng and Liwei were still unaware of what they were talking about.

" That's right. The place where Ji Palace was built by the Old Emperor was the same place where Yang Palace was situated years back. After knowing about this place I tried to research its history." Xie Ming said.

Yang Palace, the place which belongs to that ruthless Emperor Yang Hanying, who ruined her life, and killed her family and Commander Yuan.

While she was shooting for Eternal Love, Mr. Han brought them here for the workshop. That's how she found out about this palace. After that, the historian and archaeologist who showed them around the palace, she kept in touch with him and took his help to find out about the history of this palace.

She helped him with some points since she used to be a part of this history whereas he also returned the favor by telling her many of his findings.

" After searching for quite a while, I came across a strange story. Though there is not much evidence to support this claim, historians say that the Ji Palace was built on the ruins of the Yang Palace, whose monarch has committed suicide. After the last war of his life which is probably with the Tan Empire, he became depressed and tired of living, and ended up taking his own life by drowning into a well."

Zhao Ming pursed her lips as she listened to Xie Ming's words seriously. Her hands that were placed on her stomach trembled slightly as she said in a low voice, " And the last Emperor of the Yang Dynasty was...Yang Hanying?" she asked, nervously.

Xie Ming pursed her lips and let out a deep breath before saying, " Yes. Seems like he also died by taking his life in the well where Tan Xiu has jumped. How can a man like that take his own life?" she shook her head in shock.

He has tortured the people to the point, where there were more dead bodies than alive people. The girl he claimed to love, he only wanted to win over her body, to showcase her as his trophy of the victory.

How can that man take his own life just because she died?

Ji Cheng saw Zhao Ming's pale complexion and took her hand in his and rubbed them slightly, comforting her. " Don't worry, I am here. You don't need to think about those nightmares now," he said in a low voice, making her nod in understanding.

From the nightmares, he was referring to the memories of the past that were still haunting her.

Xie Ming has already made the arrangements to enter the palace at night with the help of the historian who helped her search the material for the history of this abandoned palace. The palace is under the government and after the search, the reconstruction work will soon start.

Because of this, she had to make some special arrangements to enter the palace. After crossing the barriers made by the archaeological department, they carefully made their way inside the palace.

The palace was dark, even the moonlight was not enough to show them the way. Liwei was holding a torch to see their steps ahead. There were digs around, probably made by the archaeological department.

Ji Cheng was holding onto Zhao Ming's hand tightly and carefully leading her, avoiding the digs on the ground. Seeing the palace in this condition, he was feeling a tightness inside his chest.

" Here we are. This is where we have to execute our ritual." Xie Ming said as she stopped in front of a pile of bricks and the ground there was shallow and soil was gathered. There was nothing but a small pile of bricks that could be seen that has been destroyed long ago.

" It's a place, where the pond in Ji Dynasty was located, in which I fell and died eventually." She took a deep breath, as she explained. She can't believe that she was showing them the place where she died.

Fate was truly playing games with them.

" And this was also the same place where...the well in the Yang Dynasty was situated. I can be wrong but from the map of Yang Palace, I can assume that it was the same place where the well was located." Xie Ming said.

Zhao Ming bit her lower lip as she can't believe that Ji Palace was built over the Yang Palace.

Zhao Ming took a deep breath and said, " Then let's get started. She looked at the time on her watch and said, " We have only 15 minutes before midnight. We need to start exactly at 12 to make this ritual a success."?she said.

While she was working out to increase her stamina, she used to meditate with Shen Jia for hours and has learned some supernatural tricks and rituals as well. The power that has been passed on to Shen Jia from her mother, the same powers has been passed on to Zhao Ming by her mother as well of which she was unaware before.

Since Xie Ming is in her body now, from the learning process of meditation, she started to feel the changes in her body. She started to feel the powers inside her and can do this ritual thanks to those powers and Shen Jia's training.

That's why she managed to combine her and Xie Ming's energy when they were trapped in the mysterious place and managed to come out of that dark world.

She was wondering if she can use these powers on ghosts as well, if she can, then it will be quite fun.
