After the hero goes crazy

Lu Zhi watched the interaction between the two with somewhat strange eyes, and finally saw the old man nodding his promise and did not speak again.

After Yao Shouning finished speaking, he supported the edge of the bed with his hands and carefully lowered his feet.

There was a cool chill coming from the depths of the ground, and it seemed as if the toes could not reach the end. Fortunately, Lu Zhi quickly raised his hand to pinch her waist, and held her whole body to stop her sliding speed. She rests firmly on the ground.

"Thank you."

Yao Shouning said in a panic, and Lu Zhi shook his head.

She was a little shorter than Lu Zhi, and when she stepped on the stone steps below, she was already completely in the underground stone cellar, and she could barely touch the wooden bed above with her fingertips when she raised her hand.

The air in the ground is dull and damp, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.

Seeing that both of them got into the tunnel, the old man who stayed behind put down the bed immediately.

In the sound of '哐', the firelight above was blocked.

The old man restored the opened quilt and stroked it twice with his hands. He remembered what Yao Shouning had said to him earlier, his eyes lit up, then he lifted a stool and sat in a corner of the room.

I saw this person forming seals with his hands and casting spells on the bed.

The spiritual light gushed out from his fingertips, and an old man with the same figure and appearance as him gradually appeared on the bed, lying flat on the bed with his hands folded on his chest, as if he was asleep.

Seeing this scene, the old man hooked the corners of his mouth, showing a satisfied smile, then closed his eyes to rest his mind, and then his figure gradually disappeared, hiding in a corner.

……

Under the ground at this time, Yao Shouning heard the heavy sound when the bed board was lowered, and then the whole ground was extremely quiet except for the echo.

"My son—"

She thought that the trip tonight might not go well, so she felt a little nervous for no reason, and called Lu Zhi.

"Ah."

Lu Zhi answered her.

In the dull and dark environment, his voice was a little low, coupled with the faint echoes from the surroundings, it gave her a sense of peace of mind.

——Although Shizi overturned his car several times, he was extremely loyal and never ran away alone when he was in danger.

She secretly reached out her hand and grabbed one corner of Lu Zhi's clothes.

Such a small movement made the prince who was taking out the map in his pocket turn his head and glanced at her:
"Don't be afraid."

He reassures:

"The Zhao family has walked through this tunnel many times. After my parents bought this place, they also came to inspect it, and found no trace of evil spirits."

He remembered the danger Yao Shouning had foreseen, frowned, and asked:

"Can you feel where the danger comes from?"

Yao Shouning tried her best to think about it, but she still had no clue. Her premonition was just a flash of inspiration occasionally. Most of the time, she couldn't take the initiative to find out. In the end, she could only shake her head regretfully:

"I can't feel it."

"It's fine if you don't feel it." Lu Zhi also knew that she didn't get a complete inheritance, and he was not disappointed when he heard that:
"Let's leave here first. Anyway, we'll find the cemetery first."

He made up his mind, as soon as he checked King Qi's corpse, he immediately returned to the same way and never took a walk.

Yao Shouning nodded.

The prince took out the map, and handed the Huozhangzi to Yao Shouning:
"You hold it for me."

The two cooperated with each other, and Shizi took out a blueprint, on which a simple topographical map was drawn.

In order to deceive others, the Zhao family dug the tombs found under the house into a maze. Many terrains are criss-crossed. If there is no map, it is very easy to get lost if you enter it rashly.

The prince had already confirmed the path before he decided to explore King Qi's tomb. At this time, he just wanted to compare it with his memory for the smooth operation.

After confirming that it was correct, he folded the map again and shouted:
"go!"

There is a simple earthen step under the two people's feet, which is very narrow, and they have to bump shoulders and touch hands together.

Surrounded by mud walls, turning around for a while and touching the mud layer gave people a rather depressing feeling.

Lu Zhi bowed his head and walked in front, and Yao Shouning followed behind him, holding his clothes by the back.

The excavated stairs were narrow at the beginning, and it became more and more difficult to walk down. Yao Shouning found it inconvenient to hold the torch, her chest felt uncomfortable, and it was difficult to breathe. She simply covered the torch and held it in her hand. .

Fortunately, after walking down another five or six feet, Lu Zhi suddenly jumped down below——

The echo of 'dong' came, and he shouted:
"We're down to the tunnel."

From the echo below, the place where he was standing was quite spacious. Yao Shouning's heart relaxed. In the darkness, she couldn't see the scene under her feet clearly. When she took a step forward, her body lost weight immediately, and she was about to fall.

Before she could cry out in surprise, Shizi who was waiting below stretched out her hand and held her precisely.

He held her arms with both hands, and she stepped on the ground with her feet, and said in shock:
"thanks--"

Lu Zhi shook his head and turned to look around.

In the darkness, his hair rubbed against his clothes, making a soft 'xisuo' sound. Yao Shouning recognized his movements through the sound, and quickly re-ignited the torch.

A pungent sulfur smell passed into the nostrils of the two, diluting the damp and moldy smell underground.

The flames lit up, illuminating the surroundings.

What caught the eyes of the two was a tunnel about ten feet high and about ten feet wide, leading directly to the depths of the ground.

On both sides of the tunnel, there are countless branches extending from left to right, and at intervals, a hole about three feet wide is dug out of the tunnel, which looks no different from the passage the two of them descended from earlier.

It wasn't until now that Yao Shouning finally understood what Lu Zhi said earlier: Without a map, he might get lost in the depths of the ground.

With the help of the flame in her hand, she raised her head to look above her head, and was shocked by the underground labyrinth.

If she and Lu Zhicai hadn't jumped down from above and hadn't moved their feet, otherwise, if they walked around a little, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to tell which hole above my head I jumped out of.

Wherever the eyes go, there are long passages in the front and back, turning left and right, seemingly without end.

On the top of the head, the same whereabouts are dug out everywhere, and it is hard to tell which ones are real and which ones are fake.

"Is all this true?"

Shocked, she asked.

"No."

Lu Zhi shook his head and replied:
"There is only one way out!"

If a person who is not familiar with the path enters this maze, as long as he can't find the way out, he will climb up the stairs along the other big holes above his head. After climbing for a long time, it is very likely that he will encounter a sealed ground, or Was detoured elsewhere and ended up trapped here!

"This Zhao family is really talented—" Yao Shouning didn't know what to say for a while, first he boasted dryly, and then asked:

"Then can you remember this burrow?"

The prince suddenly showed a look of humiliation, and looked at her with an expression of looking at a fool——

But for some reason, he didn't utter bad words in the end, but endured a little, and then patted his chest very confidently:

"Of course I remember!"

For some reason, Yao Shouning had a bad feeling in her heart, prompting her to ask one more time:
"Really remember?"

"Really remember!"

Lu Zhi nodded again, seeing that she seemed a little worried, he added:
"There are several bends and turns here, and several holes and roads above your head. As long as you remember the number and follow the path we have planned, you will never go wrong!"

He was so confident, and his tone of voice was very convincing. Yao Shouning felt at ease, and then asked:

"So which direction are we going?"

"follow me."

Shizi beckoned and walked ahead.

The environment here is far inferior to Dai Wang's Underground Palace, because the Zhao family secretly dug and chiseled it by themselves, and the workmanship in many places is rough, and they need to bend over and bow their heads from time to time.

Occasionally, Yao Shouning would find some coins caught in the soil along the way. She dunked one for inspection, and immediately realized that these might be counterfeit coins forged by the Zhao family.

These coins were deliberately old, and the weight was not right. It should be that the Zhao family was afraid that someone would accidentally dig a tunnel and discover the tomb of King Qi, so they deliberately made them to deceive people.

At first Yao Shouning was worried, but after walking for a quarter of an hour, the journey went smoothly without any accidents.

Lu Zhi stopped from time to time, took out the blueprints and compared them carefully, and walked for about a quarter of an hour before he stopped suddenly and yelled:
"Coming!"

His voice immediately revived Yao Shouning, who had been extra vigilant all the way:
"Coming?"

The two walked for a long time, in this dark tunnel, all they could smell was the gloomy and dull smell from the ground and the pungent sulfur smell from the fire, and because of her premonition, her mind was always tense, He didn't dare to relax. He should have breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that it was coming soon, but Yao Shouning felt restless in his heart.

"Did you see that door?"

Lu Zhi turned his head and glanced at her, pointing to the distance.

Looking in the direction of his finger, Yao Shouning saw a half-arc entrance dug out on the left side.

She had seen many such entrances since she entered the underground cave, but when she saw that door again, she felt even more uneasy.

"My son—"

She yelled, and Lu Zhi noticed that her tone was wrong, and turned his head:
"My father and mother came here after discovering something different here." Except that the coffin has not been opened for inspection, other places have been checked, and no danger has been found.

But having said that, he still carefully held down the hilt of the sword hanging on his waist, made a defensive gesture, and signaled Yao Shouning to follow behind him.

The cemetery was dark and quiet, except for the sound of the two people walking back and forth.

The two slowly moved to the front of the door, Yao Shouning held up the torch in his hand, and looked into the distance.

When the light shines on the entrance, one can vaguely see the inner passage and enter a few feet, it is completely different.

An empty echo came that was completely opposite to the narrow underground passage. Shizi stood by the door and waited for a moment, then stepped forward!

The moment he lifted his footsteps, Yao Shouning saw something flickering on the originally dark door frame.

"what--"

She let out an exclamation.

The fluctuations were like an invisible spider web woven on the door. The moment Lu Zhi entered the web, he broke through the web, causing the spider web to reflect a strange reflection under the light.

Then it seemed as if the halo was rippling, and the invisible brilliance flowed.

Hearing her whisper, Shizi subconsciously turned his head.

His brows were slightly frowned, and there was doubt in his pair of phoenix eyes, which seemed to be strange to Yao Shouning's reaction.

"I seem to see something on the door!"

She told Lu Zhi what she had found, and Lu Zhi pressed his lips tightly, stepped back, and stretched out his hand to dance on the door frame.

There was a sound of friction between the clothes as the arms swung, but the previous feeling like ripples of light was gone.

Lu Zhi put it on a couple of times more tentatively, and asked:
"Any more?"

"No more!" Yao Shouning's eyes widened, not daring to ignore a little detail, but he didn't notice anything unusual, so he shook his head.

Shizi bit his lower lip and said:

"The situation you mentioned is very similar to the ban being touched."

According to the rumors, when the practice reaches a certain level, invisible restrictions can be placed, making the place where the restrictions are located a forbidden area, and no one can set foot there.

Once an outsider breaks in, the forbidden spell caster will be able to detect it.

Yao Shouning, as the descendant of the Bianji clan who has awakened the power of blood, it is not unusual to be able to 'see' the existence of the restriction with the naked eye.

But this place is the true tomb of King Qi, which has been hidden for nearly 700 years.

Before that, Lu Zhi was quite sure that, apart from the eldest princess and his wife, even Emperor Shenqi in the capital of God should not know of its existence.

So who placed the ban here?

Chen Taiwei?
Perhaps because he had dealt with this Taoist a lot recently, the name of this person came to Lu Zhi's mind immediately.

But the next moment, he shook his head again:

"impossible."

Although this Taoist is said to be highly skilled in spells, it is impossible for him to be so proficient.

Seeing that Yao Shouning was disturbed, he explained to her:

"Since this place was discovered by the Zhao family, the Zhao family will inspect this place every day and set up small traps to prevent people from entering by mistake."

And after falling into Lu Wuji's hands, he will only be more prepared.

This place is a tea house during the day, and after night, it is guarded by an old man who had dealt with the two before.

"He is a member of the Shenwu Sect, with a very high seniority, and he is also a person who carries the map of the gods. Generally, evil spirits dare not mess in. My father also respects him very much."

With him here, not to mention ordinary Xiaoxiao, even a Taoist priest with supernatural powers would definitely not be able to break in.

"That is to say, if there is a restriction here, it may have been placed in the early years."

While he was talking, he traveled through the space twice more.

There was no abnormality these two times. He turned his head and looked at Yao Shouning with a struggling look on his face.

In or out?

I have come here tonight, if I don't go in and take a look, I'm afraid I won't be reconciled if I return without success.

What's more, there is a great defense here, so there may be some changes in King Qi's tomb.

He asked Yao Shouning:
"Why don't we go in and take a look, if there is no accident, we will leave immediately, how about?"

……

At the same time, in the inner garden of the imperial palace, the banquet set up by Emperor Shenqi himself had already begun.

In the main hall, Emperor Shenqi sat kneeling in the middle, with tables on both sides. Only the eldest princess and his wife, Liu Bingzhou and Chen Taiwei attended the banquet tonight.

Chen Taiwei sat alone on the right side, facing Zhu Hengrui, Lu Wuji and Liu Bingzhou from a distance.

Emperor Shenqi is 53 this year, but he is thin, fair-skinned, with slender eyes and a long beard on his chin.

As an emperor, he did not wear the robes that symbolized the emperor, but instead wore a Taoist robe in green clothes, with a bun on his head, fixed with a long jade hairpin.

When he smiled and looked at people, he didn't look like a domineering emperor, on the contrary, he was no different from ordinary pampered Taoist priests.

During the banquet, he went to the singing and dancing scene first, and only after the maids left, he looked at Liu Bingzhou and said:

"I knew that Nanzhao had outstanding people, and indeed there were two great Confucian scholars—"

"Not long after I ascended the throne, I heard the news of Mr. Zhang's death, and I deeply regret—"

He babbled nonsense, Zhu Hengrui frowned.

"—After Liu Qing entered the capital of the gods, he summoned the shadow of a Confucian saint and told the world that there are more Confucian and Taoist leaders. I am very pleased..."

Before Emperor Shenqi finished speaking, the eldest princess couldn't bear her fiery temper, and slapped the table heavily:

"Why are you always talking about this? If you really want to ask, you have already visited Yao's house in person, so why send a servant to pass the message?"

When she spoke, her gaze was on Chen Taiwei:

"We came here tonight to ask Chen Taiwei, why did Yao's house make such a fuss yesterday, and what is the purpose?"

"..." The emperor listened to her scolding, the muscles around his eyes twitched slightly, but in an instant, he smiled again:

"Eldest sister is always so impatient."

"That's it!"

The emperor waved his hands and said:

"It's my fault. I sent a servant who doesn't have eyesight to invite me. I heard that he was disrespectful to Liu Qing. I have already punished him severely!"

After finishing speaking, his face darkened, his eyes showed a fierce look, and he shouted:
"Feng Zhen, bring that dog up, let Liu Qing see it with her own eyes, and calm him down!"

As soon as the words fell, the waiter beside him nodded and clapped his hands.

The sound of applause spread and could be heard clearly from outside.

Liu Bingzhou realized that something was wrong, when he heard footsteps outside, he could already smell the smell of blood before anyone entered.

I saw a row of servants carrying trays and filing in. On the trays were chopped heads, but the facial features were gouged out and the torso was chopped off!
The smell of blood spread, even though Zhu Hengrui and Lu Wuji had dealt with evil spirits in that scene and had seen too many bloody scenes, they couldn't help but change color suddenly when they saw this scene!
The emperor was still smiling with a 'hehe', with a gentle and refined demeanor of a man of Taoism, and said:
"This bastard came back today and complained to me, intending to separate Liu Qing from me, and I have already handed it over to the Zhenmagic Division."

He signaled the lead waiter to hold the tray facing Liu Bingzhou, and the liquid in the tray flowed down the edge of the tray, staining the fingers of the waiter holding the tray red.

"you--"

Liu Bingzhou's complexion was livid.

No matter how well he cultivated himself, he never expected that the rumored moody, mean and cruel emperor would actually do this.

His robe was windless and his beard swayed slightly. Emperor Shen Qi narrowed his eyes, leaned forward, and supported the desk with his elbows, as if admiring his extremely ugly face at this time.

But after a long time, Liu Bingzhou finally sighed softly, the aura was gone, and his eyes showed pity:
"Why does the emperor have to do this?"

"Even if this person files a complaint, it's just because he can't bear my refusal to face the saint several times, just complaining for the emperor. Even if there is a mistake, a small punishment will do."

His gaze fell on the tray, and he saw a pair of red eyes gouged out on the tray. With his eyesight, he could naturally see the residual power of the wronged soul attached to it. call.

"That's what Liu Qing said."

Emperor Shen Qi was accused by him, but he was not angry, instead he ordered with a smile:
"This man's devotion to protecting me is touching, and he will be buried richly and rewarded to his whole family."

"Yes." The servant replied in a low voice.

Lu Wuji witnessed this scene, his throat tightened, he sighed silently, and shook his head slightly.

"When the first emperor was in power, he said that all living beings in the world have spirits. He loves the people like a son. How could he raise such a cruel son like you?"

Zhu Hengrui was silent for a while, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and reprimanded loudly:

"If a servant makes a mistake, you may beat or kill him, or even torture him severely. At this time, you even use torture for fun. How is it different from the old kings of Shang and Zhou?"

The emperor who had been smiling before suddenly changed his expression!
If it was normal, Lu Wuji would rather persuade.

But at this time, the smell of fish in the palace was so heavy that it made people want to vomit. The emperor was cruel and merciless, and he treated the people of the world like pigs and dogs. He was silent on the outside, but he was also angry inside.

On his back was the Buddha and Taoist Vajra, and he hated evil the most. Seeing such a situation at this moment, he couldn't hold back anymore.

It's just that when the shadow of Vajra behind him moved, three streaks of purple energy rose into the sky above the emperor's head.

'Woooo' amidst howling ghosts, a clear and majestic dragon chant resounded——

In an instant, a real dragon's pressure spread, and immediately rushed away the lingering soul.

Emperor Shenqi's eyes were gloomy, and he shouted sharply:
"Sister, how dare you say that to me!"

The two parties originally came here for Chen Taiwei, but at this time they first clashed because of the death of the little servant.

On the contrary, Chen Taiwei, who should have explained what happened last night, stayed out of the matter at this time. Taking advantage of the conflict between the eldest princess and Emperor Shenqi, the young and handsome Taoist priest showed boredom in his eyes.

And at this moment, at the east end of the city of Shendu, below the tea house of the original Zhao family, the moment Lu Zhi and Yao Shouning arrived at the entrance of Qi Wangzhen's tomb——

The son stepped into the door and touched the restriction. It was as if a string was touched in the sea of ​​consciousness of this beautiful Taoist priest with a face full of boredom.

His dark eyelids suddenly glowed, and his whole face glowed:
"The prey has entered the net!"

"It's really cunning." He stretched out his hand to support the table, and supported his chin with the palm of his hand:

"I sent someone to hold me back tonight. I really wanted to explore the tomb again, but I didn't expect to end up here! Interesting, interesting!"

After he finished speaking, there was a mischievous look in his eyes.

Supporting his head with one hand, he stuck out his other right hand, dipped his finger in the teacup, and quickly painted on the table.

Immediately afterwards, a shadow of a talisman took shape under his fingertips, and soon formed a water-light talisman.

He stretched out his hand slightly:
"Go!"

The talisman immediately flew into the sky, turned into a red light, and flew straight out of the palace.

At this time, the eldest princess in the palace had already quarreled with Emperor Shen Qi, and Lu Wuji stood by his wife's side, Feng Zhen whispered to persuade Zhu Hengrui to put out the fire.

The waiter holding the plate was scared and panicked, afraid that he might not survive tomorrow after seeing the scene tonight.

Chen Taiwei's actions were silent, no one noticed, only the moment when the talisman flew out, Liu Bingzhou looked up thoughtfully.

But wherever he looked, he didn't find anything unusual, only that the Taoist priest who caused a disturbance in Yao's house last night was resting his head on one hand, looking at him with a smile, those eyes seemed to see through all the plans deep in his heart !
The talisman flew out of the inner city of the palace, went straight to the east city, hid in the inner room of the tea house, and fell silently on the bed.

I saw an old man lying on the bed board, who seemed to sense the fluctuation of spiritual power, and before he could open his eyes in the future, he was suppressed by the spell.

Wherever the red light went, all life forms were wiped out, forming a huge rune, sealing the old man and the bed board in it.

The body of the old man melted like ice and snow, and everything happened in a blink of an eye——

Immediately afterwards, the remaining spell power charged away.

Everything in the house was washed away by this extremely overbearing force, as if everything was shaken out of a layer of afterimages and returned to their original places, the cabinets, tables and chairs in the house remained unmoved.

The light on the cabinet was still on, and after a long while, in an unoccupied corner on one side of the room, the aura fluctuated, and an old man sitting on a chair slowly appeared.

At this time, there was blood on the corner of his mouth, and his face was a little gloomy. He looked at the red runes on the bed with horror.
