Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 889: Conquering the Sky and Chasing the Sun

Chang'an in summer is full of greenery.

A bluebird flew across the blue sky and headed towards the towering mountains.

At the top of the mountain, next to the stone cliff, a white-haired knight stood quietly waiting.

The bluebird cooed, circled his head three times, fluttered, and landed on his shoulder.

He caught the bluebird and took out a small paper roll from its leg. He unfolded it and looked at it, then his brows furrowed more and more.

"What's going on?" Zhao Xiwei pushed aside the branches hanging overhead and leaned forward to ask, "Uncle Liu, what did you find out?"

"Awei..." Liu Jishan raised his head and was slightly stunned.

The woman was dressed in white, with dark-colored wrist guards on her cuffs and a leather belt of the same color tied around her waist. She stood in the shade of green trees, like an orchid in a valley.

The mountain breeze blew her hair, and her white hairband fluttered in the air.

Liu Jishan seemed to have returned to his youth.

Shen Yuqing and Zhao Xiwei are different.

Shen Yuqing has a very aloof personality. No matter whether he is wearing white or blue, he always looks as distant and unapproachable as if he is far away in the horizon.

If she had been willing to give him some leeway, perhaps he would not have left in anger, and would not have regretted it for the rest of his life...

"Uncle Master?" Zhao Xiwei took two steps to stand in front of him and stopped beside the cliff. "Did you get any new clues?"

Liu Jishan woke up from his memories.

He looked at her expectant eyes and nodded solemnly: "Spy, tell me..."

There was a hint of inquiry in Zhao Xiwei's eyes, but he didn't rush to ask.

Liu Jishan sighed softly, frowned imperceptibly, and said slowly: "Awei...you have to be mentally prepared."

"Yeah." She responded, and seeing his hesitation, she smiled slightly, "Don't worry, Uncle Master, I'm prepared for the worst."

All the evidence points to Shen Yuqing, and he is definitely involved in the Queen's death.

  And the so-called Tongxuan art is so mysterious - no one can believe that people can connect yin and yang and transform souls through this art?

If this is the case, why didn't Zhao Ziyi open this secret technique directly? Why did he have to go through so much trouble and hurt so many innocent people?

She vaguely felt that there might be another truth behind it.

This truth may be more terrifying than being involved in a murder lawsuit...

"The spy replied..." Liu Jishan was completely unaware of her worries and only said, "There is evidence in Fayan Temple..."

"Fayan Temple?" Zhao Xi was stunned.

"Yes." Liu Jishan's eyes were dark. "The Queen Mother is under house arrest there. It would be like snatching food from a tiger's mouth if you want to get evidence..." He pressed the sword at his waist, a little worried. "Awei, the road ahead is extremely dangerous. Have you thought about it? Have you thought about it? Are you willing to sacrifice yourself to save Zhao Ziyi?"

Zhao Xi smiled and said, "If I sit back and watch my father die, I can avoid danger and keep myself safe. But if that happens, my mother will never be able to clear her name. She will be cursed by all the people in the future."

She shook her head, her eyes firm, "Mother has lived a noble life. She would rather live in seclusion in the mountains and give birth to me than to endure the infamy and live with him. I can't and won't bear to let mother's soul be disturbed."

She looked at Liu Jishan, with an unyielding light in her eyes: "Besides, the evidence is safest only in my own hands. It is always dangerous if it is in someone else's hands. Even if I retreat, I can't escape the conspiracy of others. So, it is better to go against the current and take the initiative!"

"That's right!" After hearing this, Liu Jishan's eyes, which had always been gloomy, became a little more lively. He patted Zhao Xiwei on the shoulder, and said excitedly: "As expected of Aqing's daughter! What a great way to swim against the current and take the initiative! Awei, let's go now!"

"it is good!"

Fayan Temple is a royal temple, quiet and solemn.

It is home to some childless concubines of the previous emperor or palace maids who were sent to become nuns due to their mistakes, so it does not accept ordinary pilgrims. Except for the first and fifteenth day of each month, when someone from the palace comes to deliver supplies, no one else is interested.

Liu Jishan was a martial arts expert. He flew up the mountain with his toes and soon found a secret passage: there was a stone door under the back hall of Fayan Temple.

In the dark night, the main hall was lit with a long lamp, flickering dimly, and it was the only light in the entire temple.

More than a dozen guards were leaning against the main gate of the Buddhist temple, hugging their long swords and falling asleep.

Suddenly, dozens of rocks were thrown at him in the darkness. "Shua, shua, shua!" They drew a neat arc in the night, and then a puff of smoke dissipated. The guard was still in a dream and was knocked unconscious.

"Coo, coo, coo--" a bird called and the shadows of the trees rustled.

No one knew that two people had sneaked into the back mountain.

The narrow stone path led to darkness. Liu Jishan held his breath and pushed the door open with his internal strength.

Zhao Xiwei followed closely behind.

Liu Jishan originally wanted to explore alone, and Zhao Xiwei also thought about whether to avoid it because she didn't know martial arts and was afraid of dragging Liu Jishan down.

However, Liu Jishan has several disciples, all of whom are top masters.

They were ordered to ambush in the dark and respond quickly to any abnormalities.

With such a perfect plan, Zhao Xiwei decided to come in person - this was her idea, and she couldn't just stand by and watch.

She must find out the truth as soon as possible!

The secret door opened silently and the light slowly came in.

  Zhao Xiwei's pupils suddenly shrank!

In front of her eyes... the light was as bright as day, and she could clearly see the scene inside the stone chamber.

What a huge formation of stone statues!

The stone figurines were about half a person's height, and each had a strange expression, staring at the north wall.

Zhao Xiwei followed their gaze and looked at the stone wall.

This is a huge mural.

The painting shows two flying goddesses, one riding a horse and drawing a bow, shooting an arrow at the wolf in the sky; the other holding a scroll and picking up a flower, flying towards the sunlight.

One of them is heroic and dashing, the other is aloof and otherworldly.

  Zhao Xiwei recognized at a glance that the person holding the scroll was her mother!

She squinted her eyes and tried to identify the one on horseback.

But seeing that she was beautiful and bright, she seemed somewhat familiar.

His eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Gu Yuci.

But that majestic demeanor... is somewhat similar to... Li Xuanye?

Could it be that this is Queen Gu?

She hurried forward, wanting to see more clearly, but Liu Jishan just stretched out his hand to block her from getting any closer.

"This is your mother and Queen Gu."

Liu Jishan pointed at the mural, his brows raised in disbelief: "But who painted this?"

"Look..." Zhao Xiwei looked at the portrait, "the direction they were running was all towards the east..."

"East... East?" Liu Jishan muttered, his eyes suddenly focused.

Then he pointed his toes, flew up, and ran straight towards the east wall.

Zhao Xiwei's eyes flashed, and she saw him raise his hand and touch the wall. When she looked again, the man had already landed gently on the ground.

  He has an extra command arrow in his hand!

The command arrow lay in the palm of his hand, with four small words engraved on it.

"Zheng, Tian, ​​Zhu, Ri..." Zhao Xiwei identified the words one by one, with a look of astonishment: "Zheng Tian Zhu Ri?"

  What does this have to do with Tongxuanshu?

I have been busy moving these days, and after moving, I fell into insomnia... The light in the new house I rented is too good, the curtains are light-transmitting, and there are bright high-rise buildings outside. Who knows the pain of not being able to sleep well...

I placed an order for full blackout curtains, and they will arrive tomorrow. I hope I can sleep well after installing the new curtains, and then I can resume typing normally the day after tomorrow.

You Baozi asked when the hero and heroine would reconcile. It definitely won’t happen now because he hasn’t paid the price yet.
