Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess Chapter 861

Chapter 861 Codes on the Stone Slab
“Lass, sit still. I want to have a talk with you,” Lin Mengya said.
She didn’t want to use too many cliches and tricks in a conversation with Xiu.
Moreover, Xiu trusted her wholeheartedly. It was better to get straight to the point than to sound out Xiu’s motive.
“Sister Lin, I…” Xiu, sitting in front of Lin Mengya, said.
Although she was blind, she still felt nervous in front of Lin Mengya.
“Xiu, actually your uncle invited me here for the affair of the Xin family rather than for your marriage with Xiaoyu. I suppose you know that, don’t you?” Lin Mengya said.
Seeing Xiu, who was thin, tremble slightly, she sighed in her heart.
As she expected, Xiu tried to do a stupid thing again....
She asked, “You want to help Xiaoyu by doing that, right?”
People often said that it was easier for pure people to lose their minds in love.
Lin Mengya totally agreed with this. However, the girl in front of her did not strive hard to win Xiaoyu’s heart, nor did she resort to every expedient to be with him.
Instead, she sacrificed herself without telling anyone or asking for anything in return.
Perhaps Xiu thought it worthwhile and even felt sweet.
But Lin Mengya just wanted to break open the idiot’s head and see what was going on in her mind.
“Sister Lin, actually, I don’t just want to help Xiaoyu. I know that both of you bear heavy fates beyond ordinary people’s perception, so I want to help you,” Xiu said with anticipation on her blushed face.
Lin Mengya was stunned. What on earth did Xiu learn?
She winked at Baisu, and Baisu immediately went out to check if there were any suspicious people around.
Meanwhile, the steward, who failed to prevent Xiu from coming in just now, led the servants out of the courtyard.
After Baisu was completely sure there was no one else around, Lin Mengya and Xiu continued their conversation.
“What did you learn?” Lin Mengya asked.
The Candle Dragon Cult’s existence was not a big secret in the eyes of some people.
However, common people would not learn it for no reason.
With a serious look, Xiu took out a stone slab that had become warm after being held in her bosom for quite a while.
There were countless black dots arranged in a bit of disarray on it.
After taking the stone slab from her, Lin Mengya discovered that they seemed to be some kind of characters.
However, no matter how hard she tried, she could not identify what kind of characters they were.
Could this be the cause of Xiu’s change?
Xiu said, “Actually, there’s one thing I’ve never told anyone. After I became blind, the heart venomous insect in my body probably enables my instincts to be sharper than anyone else’s. A few days ago, I accidentally fell into a dry well while wandering around in my yard. By chance, I intuitively found a switch in the dry well. There seemed to be a dungeon, where there were a few skeletons, inside. Later, I found this stone slab, and I seem to be able to read the dots on it.”
Lin Mengya turned the stone slab upside down and looked at the dots carefully again. The surface was uneven, and the dots seemed to be carved with some kind of sharp object.
They were probably similar to Braille used by modern people.
But how did Xiu, a healthy person, learn this?
Xiu said, “Although I’m incapable of reading all of them, I have a rough idea of what they mean. The person, who left this message, was the guardian of a certain place. The gate to this place will be opened by someone sooner or later, and no one is able to get in this place before the person comes. The heart venomous insect in my body seemed to be extremely meek when I approached one of the skeletons. I also had this feeling when you were around, Sister Lin. So I’m wondering if you have any relationship with the guardian.”
In any case, the Zuo family was responsible for guarding the Relics of the Guwei State. Perhaps the skeleton in the dungeon was the ancestor of the Zuo family.
However, Lin Mengya found it strange. If that were the case, why did Xiu ask to marry Xin Li?
“Even so, why do you want to marry Xin Li? Silly girl, you should know that the lunatic is abnormal. Marrying him is equivalent to courting death, isn’t it?” Lin Mengya said.
Xiu smiled shyly and slowly explained, “The heart venomous insect in my body is very powerful, but if I want it to be more powerful, it must eat other venomous insects. I heard that if I become the wife of the High Priest, I will have a chance to get in and out of the Pool of Various Venomous Insects. I want to help you and don’t want to be a useless person.”
Xiu was such a silly girl. Lin Mengya was incensed when she heard this extremely simple reason.
Exasperated at Xiu’s naiveness, she poked Xiu’s smooth head with her finger. If Xiu wanted to go to the Pool of Various Venomous Insects, Xiu could tell her directly and did not have to put herself in such a predicament!
“I’m stunned by your naiveness. If you want to get in the Pool of Various Venomous Insects, I can make it happen. You don’t have to marry that lunatic. Xiaoyu is about to get in there in half a month, and you can go with him. If you two go together, I can put my mind at ease,” Lin Mengya said.
Seeing the astonished look on Xiu’s face, she only felt amused and distressed.
She was really at her wits’ end with Xiu.
“Really? Can I really go with him?” Xiu asked.
At this moment, there was a sparkle in her dim eyes.
Lin Mengya felt tremendously sorry for Xiu. If Xiaoyu didn’t cherish Xiu in the future, she would choose the most brilliant man to be Xiu’s husband so that Xiu could live a joyful life.
“Of course you can. I’ll give you some advice when the time comes so that you can win his heart in one fell swoop so that I don’t have to worry about you two anymore,” Lin Mengya said, tapping the head of Xiu who was always stubborn when it came to this kind of thing.
Meanwhile, she unintentionally glanced at Baisu who had been standing beside her and guarding her, only to find that Baisu fixed her eyes on the uneven stone slab with a flash of confusion in her cold eyes.
Lin Mengya found it strange.
However, with Xiu around, it was inappropriate to ask Baisu.
“Thank you, Sister Lin. You’re so nice. I don’t know how to repay you. I’m going to tell my uncle not to worry about me!” Xiu said.
Xiu did not really want to marry Xin Li. In recent days, her uncle, who always doted on her, had been preoccupied by this and persuaded her to drop the idea till his jaws ached.
Now that Sister Lin had solved the biggest problem, how could Xiu not be joyful?
“Okay. Baisu, go to summon the steward and ask him to take Xiu to Mr. Dongfang,” Lin Mengya said.
Despite knowing that Xiu, with the heart venomous insect in her body, generally wouldn’t encounter any danger, Lin Mengya still could not put her mind at ease and didn’t let Xiu go until the responsible steward came to pick her up.
Baisu, who came back in a hurry, couldn’t help fixing her eyes on the stone slab on the table.
Lin Mengya neither talked nor disturbed Baisu, just standing there quietly and watching her abnormal behavior.
“Miss… it’s strange,” Baisu said and finally raised her head.
At the sight of the confused look in her eyes, Lin Mengya became extremely nervous.
Baisu, whose suppressed memories were a little strange, often said something that stunned her, and everything Baisu said in this situation was very important to her.
From the moment she saw the stone slab, Lin Mengya thought it unusual.
But she couldn’t tell what exactly was wrong with it.
“What makes you think it strange?” she asked gently in a way where she seemed to be trying to induce Baisu to explain.
Baisu walked to the table, picked up the stone slab, and whispered, “I seem to have seen the characters somewhere before. It’s true that the rough idea is like what Miss Xiu said, but the guardians guarded a paradise city, and the person capable of opening the gate to the paradise city must be an emissary from a distant and honorable ancient country. However, among the guardians, there was a traitor who wanted to open the gate to the paradise city. He attempted to press the other guardians to tell him the whereabouts of the key to the gate before killing them. However, the other guardians knew that if the gate to the paradise city was opened by anyone other than the person destined to do so, it would only bring disaster. Moreover, they were unaware of it. The reason why they left the stone slab was to warn the other guardians to be wary of the traitor.”
Seeing that Baisu solved the mystery smoothly, Lin Mengya was tremendously puzzled.
Generally speaking, healthy people rarely learned Braille.
They only needed to learn it in a situation where they lived in darkness all the time and needed to pass messages with these characters similar to Braille.
As for the paradise city, Lin Mengya’s uncle had once mentioned that the secret place they had been looking for was also a paradise city.
In this case, what did the paradise city mentioned on the stone slab have to do with the paradise city they had guarded for generations?
Lin Mengya, whose brain was working at a rapid rate, felt a little excited.
This was the first time she had found information related to the paradise city since her uncle mentioned it.
However, she was more curious about where Baisu and Xiu learned this kind of characters.
“Miss, I think it’s unlikely that Miss Xiu discovered the stone slab accidentally,” Baisu held the stone slab tightly and said after feeling it carefully with her eyes closed.
“What do you mean?” Lin Mengya asked.
Although she was aware that Baisu and Xiu were biological sisters, they were not.
Baisu said, “When I went to look for Miss Xiu, I intuitively found her with almost no effort. It was a marvelous intuition. But after Miss Xiu left this stone slab, I discovered that I was actually attracted by the stone slab. Miss, I have a very strange feeling that the stone slab summoned me. Do you think it is because it contains spirits?”
Lin Mengya was not sure if the stone slab contained spirits, but she was sure of one thing: if the stone slab only attracted Baisu and Xiu, it might have something to do with their kinship.
But she was unaware of the exact connection between them.
She took the stone slab from Baisu and examined it carefully for a while, but still had no clue.
Meanwhile, Baisu closed her eyes and opened them again.
“Finally, she looked at Lin Mengya in astonishment and said, “What’s going on, Miss? As soon as you held it in your hand, that feeling disappeared!”
