After the hero goes crazy

Lu Zhi also's eyes lit up, and he had a feeling of 'there is nowhere to find it if you break through the iron shoes, and it doesn't take much effort to get it'.

Until now, he had a deeper understanding of the power of the rumored Bianji clan.

His deceased grandfather was reminded by the great Confucian Zhang Raozhi back then, and accurately predicted what would happen 31 years later, which shows the extraordinaryness of the Bianji family.

But tonight the two were hunted down by Chen Taiwei, they should have broken through the underground labyrinth directly to the palace, and met their parents and Liu Bingzhou.

But somehow Yao Shouning was guided by the power of prediction, and insisted on finding a third way, and finally appeared in the nunnery of Jingqing Zhenren.

The son couldn't help recalling what Yao Shouning had said to himself before: when she lost consciousness due to the divine descending technique, she was coerced by Chen Taiwei, and by coincidence, she used her body as a medium to finally contact the other members of the Bianji clan and learn about it. The method of cracking the divine descent technique.

At the beginning, Lu Zhi suspected that Yao Shouning's trance had stimulated the power of inheritance in his blood, and he had hallucinations, but now he thought about it carefully, and found that it was very likely to be true!
It is rumored that the Bianji tribe can know the past and the future, but they can ignore the barriers of time and come and go freely in the long flow of time.

But how did the people of the Bianji tribe know these things?

Lu Zhi suspected that they might have a secret connection!

Thinking about what Yao Shouning said again, maybe this is the secret of the Bianji clan, and they communicate with each other and exchange information through spiritual consciousness.

When the prince thought of this, his heart jumped, and he felt that he might have touched some secrets.

It's just that this is not the time to think about these things.

Jing Qing, who was lying on the bed, coughed even worse. She could hardly even breathe, her head leaned on the bedside shelf weakly, arching the blue curtain in an arc.

She looked up at the top of the tent, and squeezed Yao Shouning's hand:
"Listen, listen, I'm done..."

'Whoohoo...'

The old woman's breath became weaker and weaker, and the panting sound was like a broken bellows:
"The entrance and exit of this tunnel is, under the big Buddha I usually worship..."

'Cough...cough cough cough...'

Yao Shouning felt a pain in her heart when she heard it. With her keen sixth sense, she could feel that the life force of Jingqing was rapidly fading away.

This legendary former princess might not survive tonight!
Thinking of this, Yao Shouning's eyes became sour, and tears welled up.

For the first time since she awakened the power of her blood, she wished her premonitions were not so effective.

Yao Shouning desperately held back tears, sucked his nose, and said softly:

"You rest for a while, rest for a while and then talk..."

"No." Daoist Jingqing shook her head slightly, this action seemed to exhaust the strength in her body, making her weaker and weaker:

"I'm afraid that if I don't talk about it, I won't have a chance to say it."

Her own body is naturally aware of the situation, "I can't survive until then..."

When mentioning this sentence, she didn't see sadness and reluctance, but only relief:
"Later, you ask the son to turn the Buddha, it is a mechanism, after turning, there will be a secret path, you can go down there."

When she said this, she seemed to have regained her spirits suddenly. When she looked up and saw Yao Shouning bursting into tears, her heart suddenly softened, and she shook her hand:

"Good boy, why are you crying?"

Upon hearing this, Yao Shouning couldn't bear it any longer, buried himself on the amiable old lady's shoulder with a 'wow' and cried out:
"I want you to be well."

"Don't cry." She smiled and wanted to raise her hand to wipe Yao Shouning's tears, and said softly:
"People are born, old, sick, and die. I don't want to live for a long time, but I'm just afraid of failing the entrustment of the late emperor, so I have been holding on."

"Now, now waiting for you, I have completed the confession of the first emperor, and I can die in peace."

Her originally sallow face suddenly glowed a little, and her eyes seemed to brighten a lot, she gathered her strength and sat up with the porcelain pillow:

"I seldom have guests here. Now that there are two more people talking, it seems to be much more lively."

While talking, Ji Lan's mother-in-law came in with tea and snacks. She was surprised when she saw Jingqing holding hands with Yao Shouning and talking with a smile on her face. looks completely different.

Grandma Ji Lan thought it was Jingqing who had come unexpectedly, so she was a little happy, but when she saw Yao Shouning's tears glistening beside her, she seemed to realize something, and her expression changed instantly.

"In my whole life, even having children is no different from having no children. I am alone, but God treats me well."

Her words seemed to be confessing her last words, and Grandma Ji Lan suddenly couldn't stand still, and called out in surprise:

"Real!"

Master Jingqing ignored her, and said to Yao Shouning:
"Although I meet people who are not good, I have also seen many couples who are in harmony with each other, people with outstanding conduct and strong feelings. When I got into trouble, the late emperor was able to protect me against all opinions. When I die, I can still know you two. People, the house is lively and noisy, it’s the best."

She had a miserable life, but she did not complain about others. On the contrary, she can still find the shining points of life in the midst of suffering, which is really admirable.

"Really, I, I also heard about you at the time, but I..."

Yao Shouning felt more and more guilty. Thinking of the thoughts he had secretly speculated back then, he felt uneasy. He was crying and wanted to apologize, but Master Jingqing grabbed his hand.

She is getting old, and the corners of her eyes are full of wrinkles, but her eyes are soft, with a smile on her face, as if she has seen through the mind of the little girl in front of her, but she does not blame, only understanding and tolerance.

"Good boy." She held Yao Shouning's hand tightly:

"You are such a good child. I like you as soon as I see you. You look so good when you smile at such a good age. My mother-in-law likes to see you smile the most, but she doesn't want to see the child cry."

"The real person..." Granny Ji Lan put down the tray, knelt down in front of the footrest beside the bed, her hands were shaking.

"Ji Lan, the person I'm most sorry for is you."

The two have been masters and servants for many years, and she is loyal to Master Jingqing. After the incident happened that year, everyone else regarded Sun Yiwen as a plague and avoided them. Only Ji Lan was always by her side.

In the end, I lived with her in this nunnery, and stayed there for a long time. Looking back, 30 years have passed.

"After I die, you take all the few pieces of jewelry I have left. You are not young anymore, it's time to enjoy your old age..."

When she said this, although she still had a smile on her face, her face quickly turned gray:
"I told the two children that the entrance and exit of the secret path that the emperor told me back then is under the Buddha enshrined outside..."

Master Jingqing opened his mouth wide, like a fish out of breath, but tried his best to say:
"After I die, don't be in a hurry to mourn. You guard the Buddha. If the two children come back, open the door for them and let them out."

Ji Lan's face was disturbed, sad and at a loss, she didn't seem to know that there was an agency in the place where the two of them lived, and now listening to Master Jingqing's confession, she just cried and nodded, unable to even speak .

"After they leave, you can see how to handle the funeral...or keep things simple..."

Yao Shouning couldn't hear it, and felt that the thin palm in his palm gradually lost its strength and was falling down.

She hastily stretched out her hand to hold it, but felt that the palm was icy and slippery as if coated with wax, making it difficult for her to hold it tightly.

"My life is pretty good..."

"That's great, that's great..." She raised her head and chuckled, her voice was almost inaudible when she spoke, her pupils dilated slowly, but her lips opened and closed in a whisper:

"Girl...I tried my best...I'm sorry..."

The voice was drawn out, and the air contained in the throat was slowly spit out, but the person remained motionless.

"Mother-in-law..."

"A real person! A real person!"

Ji Lan called twice, threw herself on the bed to look at her, but saw her eyes slowly closed, with a smile on her mouth, obviously she had returned to the underworld.

"The real person!" Grandma Jilan cried out sadly, Yao Shouning's eyes widened, she held Jingqing's hand, feeling the passing of her life, her mind went blank, and her palm loosened——

Master Jingqing's hand slipped powerlessly and fell on the bed with a soft sound.

It was after this soft sound that Yao Shouning finally realized what had happened. Tears welled up in his eyes when he heard Granny Ji Lan's shout beside him.

Lu Zhi got up and stood by her side, seeing her eyes were red, it was the first time he saw her so sad.

He was a little at a loss, he wanted to comfort her, but he didn't want her to suppress this sadness in her heart, unable to vent it.

The two women, one old and one young, cried for a long while, and Granny Ji Lan finally came back rationally:

"My family real person confessed about me..."

She tried her best to get up, and first hugged Jingqing Jingqing to get up, Yao Shouning saw that she was struggling, so he hurried forward to help.

The two of them worked together to lay Jingqing's body flat on the bed.

Grandma Ji Lan took the quilt to cover her as usual, then sniffed and said:

"Although I don't understand what happened, but since the real person has confessed, I will do it."

She took another look at the dead body of Jingqing who was lying on the bed, tears welled up again, she turned around and wiped with the back of her hand:

"You come with me."

Yao Shouning was still crying, a little hesitant, but Grandma Ji Lan said:

"come quickly."

Her eyes were red and swollen, but when she saw Yao Shouning crying sadly, her face showed a friendly look, she stretched out her hand to embrace Yao Shouning's shoulder, and coaxed softly:
"The real person passed away with a smile on her face. It can be seen that she has no regrets in her heart. Since she has an order, it must be something urgent."

Yao Shouning also understood the reason.

It's just that she felt extremely melancholy in her heart.

She was still young and had never experienced the separation of life, old age, sickness and death. The legendary life of this Jingqing real person and the conversation between the two before her death amplified the sadness of this separation between life and death.

"I understand."

Yao Shouning said softly, then quietly wiped his red eyes with the back of his hand, and said vaguely:

"I'm just a little sad."

"I understand." Granny Ji Lan's gaze became softer, but she nodded. She got up first and beckoned for the two to follow behind her.

The nunnery outside was also very quiet. The two of them had roughly looked at it when they entered the house before, but when they came out at this time, they could see it more clearly.

The nunnery is not big, and it is divided into two by pillars and beams on both sides, and there is a statue of Guanyin inside.

I saw that the Avalokitesvara statue was carved from high-quality jade, the whole body was moist and shiny, sitting on the lotus platform, the overall height was more than half a zhang, with a kind expression, it should be the brightest color in this small nunnery.

Grandma Ji Lan cleaned up the incense burner on the altar table, and Lu Zhi helped to move the table case away. Several people remembered the words of Jingqing Jingqing, Lu Zhi knocked on the Guanyin, and there was a dull echo under his knuckles.

"After the first emperor ordered the concubine to live in a separate courtyard, he had someone carve this statue of Guanyin, which took half a year to complete."

With tears in her eyes, she turned her head and glanced at the left side room when she spoke: "The real person is the most respectful on weekdays, and he wipes it himself every day."

Several people were silent for a while, and then Grandma Ji Lan wiped away her tears:
"I've lived here for 31 years, but I didn't know there was another mystery under Guanyin's seat."

She forced a smile on her face, and Lu Zhi tried to hug her.

The Avalokitesvara statue was carved from the above fine jade, and it weighs more than a thousand jun, but his strength is extraordinary. With this power to lift him up, logically speaking, no matter how heavy the stone statue is, it should be lifted up.

But Shizi's luck improved a few times, but the Avalokitesvara statue did not move at all.

"When this object was installed back then, the emperor sent someone to build it. It is said that the base was built under the ground..." Granny Ji Lan explained.

"The base has organs."

Yao Shouning remembered the words of Master Jingqing, and reminded him, and then Lu Zhi held the Guanyin statue and turned it vigorously——

Under this turn, the stone statue really moved.

'Crack! '

Two extremely heavy sounds came to everyone's ears. The sound seemed to be activated by a mechanism chain that had not been used for a long time, and it seemed to be the dull sound made by huge stones grinding against each other.

Lu Zhi's eyes lit up, and when he turned again, he turned the benevolent Jade Guanyin around, and then the ground trembled.

The mechanism was opened, and a dark tunnel entrance and exit of a square about two feet long and wide suddenly appeared below Jade Guanyin.

"Sure enough, there is a secret way!"

The prince took a look, with a look of joy on his face.

Grandma Ji Lan has lived here for many years, and this is the first time she has learned of this secret. Although Master Jingqing knew that there was such a tunnel, she had always kept in mind the late emperor's instructions during her lifetime and had never tried to find it. I have never seen the appearance of this secret passage.

At this time, Grandma Ji Lan took the oil lamp and came over to take a picture——

I saw a stone step stretching down to a dark distance, and the dim light could not reach the end of the secret passage.

There was a faint echo from below, from the sound, the tunnel was probably extremely deep.

"Let's go down and see."

Lu Zhi jumped into the secret passage first, and extended his hand to Yao Shouning.

She nodded in response, and then looked back at Granny Ji Lan who was holding the lamp:
"Mother-in-law..."

"Don't worry."

Grandma Ji Lan seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, and shook her head:

"Before the real person left, he told me to wait here and wait for you to return." When she mentioned 'Jingqing real person', she showed a bit of sadness, but she still said:

"Our place is remote, usually few people come here, and no one will find out."

Yao Shouning was scared out of his wits by Chen Taiwei tonight.

After suffering a big loss last night, she was quite afraid of Chen Taiwei, and she did not dare to mention his name during her actions today, but she was still followed by him.

She was afraid that after she and her son entered the underground secret way again, the Taoist priest would go back and forth again, worrying that Grandma Ji Lan would die at the hands of his spell just like Zhou Rongying in the illusion.

But now hearing what Grandma Ji Lan said, she felt relieved.

Master Jingqing had already explained the matter clearly before she left. She had already known what happened today from the late emperor. Since she told Granny Ji Lan to stay here, she must have heard about the "first opportunity" princess. He knew that Grandma Ji Lan would be fine.

She closed her eyes again, and let go of her consciousness to sense. Fortunately, she did not feel that something ominous would happen again tonight. Obviously, all the crises had passed in King Qi's underground labyrinth.

Yao Shouning nodded, and walked under the tunnel while holding up the hem of his skirt, while Lu Zhi was still saying:

"The Bodhisattva statue is equipped with a mechanism. After the mechanism is activated, ordinary people can push it with a little effort."

He said:
"After we go down, please restore this place to its original state. If we come out, we will knock on the bottom of the seat."

Grandma Ji Lan responded, and at the same time she seemed to remember something, reached out her hand to touch her cuff, took out a fire pocket, and handed it to Yao Shouning:
"Too many things happened tonight, and I didn't prepare in advance. I can see the black lights below. Take this, so you can illuminate the way."

The object she handed over was just right. The lighting object that the two of them had brought before was lost when they were fleeing for their lives.

Yao Shouning thanked him, took the things and held them in his hands.

"Let's go."

Grandma Ji Lan waved her hand, and the two responded, Yao Shouning pulled the corner of Lu Zhi's clothes, and the two of them blew on the fire and went down the stone steps.

As expected, Granny Ji Lan turned the Avalokitesvara jade statue back to its original place as Lu Zhi ordered.

As the sound sounded, the light at the entrance was blocked, and the tunnel fell into silence and darkness again.

"Shouning?"

In the darkness, Lu Zhi suddenly called out.

"Um... ah?"

Yao Shouning answered at first, then raised his head blankly:

"My lord, what's the matter?"

When Lu Zhi heard her call himself "the prince", he couldn't help but feel a little weird in his heart, but he didn't talk to her about this topic at this time, but suppressed his feelings and talked to her deliberately:
"Where do you say this tunnel leads to, and what is in the depths of the tunnel?"

Because of Jingqing's death, the girl's mood was depressed, which indirectly affected him, making Lu Zhi feel a little depressed, and couldn't help but want to get her to talk.

"I do not know."

Yao Shouning shook his head.

But then she keenly realized that she should be in a bad state, which made Lu Zhi a little worried.

Thinking of this, Yao Shouning quickly cheered up and tried to talk to him:
"Grandma Jingqing said that the late emperor told her to guard this secret passage, saying that there is the truth we want to know in this secret passage..."

She was talking about business, but she really pulled her thoughts away from her sadness:
"Is there a clue to the true identity of the 'River God' hidden in this secret passage?"

As soon as Yao Shouning finished speaking, the tunnel trembled suddenly.

'Om—'

A long "buzzing" sound came from the depths of the tunnel, as if this quiet and strange world was startled by her words.
