After the hero goes crazy

Chapter 271

"But, but this matter is related to the royal family after all—"

Yao Shouning is not stupid, he knows that Shizi's first trip into the muddy water of his family was definitely not just for the sake of taking advantage of the quarrel between the two of them.

Checking the identity of the 'River God' is not only to help Yao Wanning solve his troubles, but also because the prince suspects the identity of the 'River God' before his death is the reason for the Daqing royal family.

So after he proposed to dig up the tomb for inspection, Yao Shouning agreed to accompany him even though he was afraid. He also had a thought of 'the prince helped her, so she should repay him'.

"It's all about the royal family."

Lu Zhi held the rein cautiously, and replied to her:
"It's the same wherever you check first."

Although it was all about tomb inspections, Lu Zhi was willing to start the investigations 30 years before the founding of Daqing, obviously to help Yao Wanning, and Yao Shouning naturally wanted to accept his love.

The horse moved forward slowly, and its hoofs stepped on the ground, making a rhythmic sound of 'click'.

Yao Shouning always felt a little awkward, as if she was surrounded by Lu Zhi's aura.

When he was silent, he seemed a little cold, but Yao Shouning couldn't ignore his presence.

Even if she tried her best to straighten her back, she still bumped into it occasionally when her body jerked back.

The heat from Lu Zhi's body seemed to dye her back through the clothes, making her feel at a loss.

Yao Shouning felt wild and shy for the first time, as if a girl's consciousness had awakened in an instant, and she tried her best to tighten her limbs to avoid getting close to him.

This awkward atmosphere infected Lu Zhi, making his heart beat wildly, but he tried to calm down.

After a long silence, Lu Zhi coughed lightly, and asked tentatively:
"Then we still go to Daiwang's underground palace tonight?"

When he spoke, there was a slight tremor in his chest. Yao Shouning lowered his head, his ears were slightly hot, and nodded.

But then he realized that it was in the dark and he might not be able to see his actions, so he should:

"Ah."

Her voice was as thin as a mosquito, but after all, the two of them talked, and the atmosphere became better than before.

Lu Zhi identified the direction, and then he slapped the horse's belly before turning his head and heading towards Daiwang's underground palace.

The two left the city early, although there was a delay in the middle, but the speed of riding a horse was faster than driving a carriage.

When approaching the location of the mausoleum, Lu Zhi had already slowed down.

Compared with the last time, the top of Daiwang's underground palace at this time has been completely flattened, leaving only the walls on both sides.

There are torches all around, illuminating the surroundings brightly.

Perhaps it was because people entered the mausoleum last time. Not far from the royal cemetery, a simple wooden ladder frame had been artificially erected, but only a pot of bonfire was lit on it, and no soldiers on duty at night were seen.

"Guarded."

When Yao Shouning saw this scene, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

Lu Zhi sneered and said:
"Don't worry." He shook his head, turned over and dismounted first, and then said softly:
"To this day, these people are nothing more than a living bag."

Emperor Shenqi has been on the throne for many years, exploited internally, amassed wealth crazily, and was not generous to the army.

Corruption is also serious in the army, and the army's hearts are lax. From top to bottom, it has long been rotten, and it is completely vulnerable.

Lu Zhi had seen the appearance of the border guards before, and they were all like that, not to mention the soldiers guarding the imperial tomb.

The defensive posture put on at this time may be just to bluff people.

Sure enough, Lu Zhi led the horse and walked under the imperial mausoleum, and there was no sign of anyone sneaking up there at all.

He shook his head again, but he didn't say much. Instead, he found a place to tie the horse, and then he carried Yao Shouning off the horse.

The two looked for traces of the last time they left the tomb, and soon found the cave where they left the tomb last time.

"Sealed!"

As soon as Yao Shouning approached, he saw the sealed cave and let out a low cry of disappointment.

After the two fled that day, the mausoleum guards broke into the tomb. They should have seen the big hole from the bottom of Dai Wang's coffin and found the traces of the two leaving.

The cave was sealed off, and the lights above were brightly lit. Although the soldiers guarding the tomb were not seen, if the two of them swaggered up there, they would startle people sooner or later.

"Don't worry." Lu Zhi comforted her, took a step forward, and bent down to touch the dirt.

The weeds around the entrance of the cave had been cleared, and the inside was filled with soil. Lu Zhi reached out to touch it, and the soil was a little moist, but not completely dry.

He tapped twice with his fingers, and there was a dull echo in the cave, Lu Zhi turned his head and smiled:
"empty."

After the accident in Dai Wang's underground palace, there may be a decree in the palace to order the blockade of this place and cut off the access to and from the tomb.

But there is a will above, and there is yang below to follow yin.

The workers obviously cut corners, and filling up the channel was just a superficial effort.

"Stand back a little."

Lu Zhi greeted him, then drew out the long sword at his waist, and using the sword as a shovel, pierced into the mud layer.

It was a bit stagnant to enter at the beginning, but after entering it again, through the power transmitted by the sword body, it could be sensed that the mud layer was empty behind it.

"Sure enough, the soil is no more than a foot deep at most."

After finishing speaking, he turned his wrist, hesitantly held his palm, and the half-dried soil that was filled at the entrance of the cave shattered to the ground.

Amidst the dust and smoke, a pitch-black passage could be seen appearing in front of the two of them.

Seeing this scene, Yao Shouning couldn't help being overjoyed. Lu Zhi put away his long sword and got into it first. Yao Shouning followed closely behind and crawled about three feet away. Lu Zhiweng said in an angry voice:

"arrive."

When he spoke, he tapped the top of his head with the scabbard, and the top seemed to be re-laid with wooden boards, and there was an echoing sound of 'haha'.

Under this light tap, the soil above 'sands' slipped down, which shows that the tomb was sealed and filled at will.

The purpose of his trip was not to enter the tomb again, but to be curious about the passage he accidentally discovered last time, so he gave up with one blow.

Yao Shouning crawled behind him, covered his nose with his hands, and asked:

"Where is the passage you discovered last time?"

As soon as the words fell, another wave of scenes appeared in front of her eyes: on the other side of the cover of the invisible mud layer, there was an underground passage made of bricks and stones, which connected with other passages, criss-crossing, forming a A large and clueless underground maze!
'boom! '

A heavy sound, like thunder, exploded in Yao Shouning's ears, and then a huge boulder appeared, shattering the originally thin layer of mud, and the heavy boulder completely blocked the road.

A slender white finger stuck out, quickly used the finger as a pen on the boulder, and wrote in large characters: The road only ends here!
After the finger finished writing, he quickly drew a talisman seal, and when the talisman seal was completed, a strange red light flashed and spread out on the boulder.

The earth trembled, and there was a dull buzzing sound from the underground palace, as if affected by the power of this character and talisman, the sound continued for a long time.

These hallucinations only lasted for a moment, the scene in front of Yao Shouning dissipated, everything became quiet, the red light disappeared, and the narrow passage was still around.

In the ears, I could only hear her and Shizi's indistinct breathing, and then Lu Zhi moved, and there was a "squeaky" sound between the clothes, and he answered her:
"Here." After finishing speaking, he was about to stretch out his hand to pinch the mud layer, when he heard Yao Shouning sighed:
"Ugh--"

"We're late."

She shook her head and said:
"This place has been sealed off."

Speaking of this, Yao Shouning thought of that thin white hand, which seemed to be surrounded by a layer of white light, which made her see flowers in a fog, and she couldn't see clearly, but she had a very strong intuition: that hand The owner is Chen Taiwei.

In other words, Chen Taiwei was also involved in the incident in Dai Wang's underground palace.

She thought of the huge, labyrinth-like passages at the other end of the passage, and always felt that there were many secrets, but she was powerless at the moment, even if she spied on the sporadic clues, they were like a mess, and she couldn't find a clue.

Hearing what she said, Lu Zhi still didn't believe in evil, and struck again with his scabbard.

This time it was not an empty sound, but a substantive deep sound, and judging from the strength of the reverberation, it wasn't just the mud that blocked the passage, but the thick stone gate.

In the darkness, the two were relatively silent. Lu Zhi felt unwilling and whispered to Yao Shouning:
"I'll give it a try and see if I can break this stone gate with force."

They have come all night, if they turn back without success, Lu Zhi will naturally feel uncomfortable.

Seeing that he did not give up, Yao Shouning said:
"useless."

She said what she 'saw': "Someone blocked the road with stones, and even drew symbols on the stones to block the way."

But having said that, she still complied with Lu Zhi's wishes, kneeling and crawling backwards:

"The only way is to 'go back' before the road closure, so we can go in and find out."

"no!"

As soon as this method was said, Lu Zhi refused.

Chen Taiwei couldn't hide the fact that the two of them left the city tonight. He had doubts about Yao Shouning's identity. If there was any disturbance in Daiwang's underground palace tonight, once it spread, it would definitely attract the attention of all quarters.

At this time, Yao Shouning's secret must not be revealed.

Even if Lu Zhi used brute force to break the door, even if it aroused suspicion, but Yao Shouning did not use his ability, Chen Taiwei had no evidence even if he suspected it.

But once she uses her power to go back to the 'past', her power has not yet been fully awakened, and the Bianji clan that has not been inherited will be equivalent to fat meat in front of Chen Taiwei.

"Can't do that."

He emphasized it again, and Yao Shouning knew the importance, so he nodded.

Hearing her voice, Lu Zhi sensed that she had retreated more than ten feet away, so he drew out his long sword and exerted enough strength. In the darkness, the sword body seemed to be coated with a layer of bright golden light, full of power.

Then the son held the sword, and sent the tip of the sword to the stone gate——

'clang! '

There was the crisp sound of handing over swords, and the golden sword tip was blocked by the stone gate.

A powerful anti-shock force bounced back from the door, and with the sound of 'buzz', a huge red symbol suddenly appeared on the stone door!

The amulet exuded terrifying power, and wherever the red light went, the entire tunnel began to vibrate violently.

'Boom--'

The ground seemed to be stirred vigorously, and the mud walls around the passage couldn't withstand the shock of the rune force, and huge cracks criss-crossed appeared one after another.

The mud 'fluttered and rinsed' fell, and in an instant, the tunnel collapsed.

Yao Shouning had already exited the place shrouded in strange red light the moment the talisman light flashed.

When the tunnel collapsed, the two impact forces formed an airflow and swept into the tunnel, making her kneeling unsteadily and rolling out!
The figure of the prince, together with the red shadow of the talisman light, was buried in the mud pile.

Yao Shouning fell several feet away and was dizzy. Before he woke up, he heard an exclamation from above:
"There is movement! There is movement in the tomb!"

Obviously, the soldiers guarding the mausoleum were also awakened by the change here.

'Bang bang bang——' Yao Shouning's heart began to beat wildly, and she bit her lip forcefully. Stimulated by the pain, her consciousness finally came back, and she remembered what happened before.

The son stabbed the stone gate with his sword without believing in evil, which triggered the Taoist restriction, and the two forces collided, causing the passage to collapse, and the son was buried in the mud pile!
As soon as this thought flooded into his mind, Yao Shouning panicked.

She didn't care about the pain all over her body from the fall, and ran towards the cave, only to see that the previous cave had been razed, revealing half of the ground stone slab of Daiwangdiguan suspended above.

Half of the entire underground palace hangs outside, and only a small half is still in contact with the cliff. Because it lost half of the support, it has already tilted a bit, and it looks crumbling and terrifying.

In the middle of the underground palace, a large hole was dug, which was where she and Lu Zhi escaped that day.

A large mound was buried in the soil below, and dust and smoke rose up, but there was no sign of Shizi.

She was in a hurry, threw herself in front of the mound, and shouted with some crying:

"My son—"

"Sir!"

Shouting, Yao Shouning digs the dirt with his hands:

"Where are you, son? Don't die, don't scare me—"

Her voice was trembling, and she tried desperately to sense while digging, trying to use the power of foresight to see where the son was.

But I don't know if it's because her strength hasn't been fully inherited, or because she cares about it, she can 'see' what she wants to see sometimes, but no matter how anxious she is at this time, there is no vision in front of her eyes nothing.

Yao Shouning began to regret it.

She clearly knew that Chen Taiwei had set up a restriction here, and after drawing the talisman, it proved that this passage was difficult to break through with their current abilities.

But when Lu Zhi stabbed the door with his sword, why didn't she try her best to stop it?
"Sir..."

Her eyes were sour, and tears were welling up, just as they were pouring out of her eyes——

There was a sudden movement under the ground, and then a hand protruded from the soil, and firmly grasped her little hand that was digging in the soil.

"...!!!"

When Yao Shouning was grabbed by this big hand at first, she was so frightened that her tears were almost sucked back, but she immediately realized that it was Lu Zhi.

"Sir!"

Overjoyed in her heart, she pushed away the soil, and the people below were also struggling to escape.

The two worked hard at the same time, and after a while, they pushed away some of the mud that hit Lu Zhi's body. Lu Zhi's voice came from the ground:
"Hey, I'm not dead—"

After finishing speaking, a long sword emerged from the soil, and then vigorously pushed away the things buried on his body. With this force, Lu Zhi jumped out of the mound.

"you--"

Yao Shouning saw that he was strong and strong, and he didn't look like he was injured. He felt relieved first, and then his face showed joy. He was about to speak, when he heard someone shouting from the cliff: "Who is it?"

"Dare to trespass on Dai Wang's underground palace!"

was found again.

The same situation as last time happened again, Lu Zhi didn't have time to talk to her, so he took her hand and shouted:
"go!"
