After the hero goes crazy

As the car moved forward, the carriage shook slightly.

Lu Wuji was a cautious person, and he drove very steadily. In the dark night, he carefully drove the carriage to avoid the potholes on the ground, which reduced the shaking of the carriage a lot, and moved forward smoothly and quickly.

Yao Shouning didn't say anything, just stared at the paper in his hand in a daze.

The Lu family's father and son's arrangements were very careful, and she couldn't find anything inappropriate at all - what's more, the girl's mind was not on these matters, her heart was still on Wen Qingzhe, whose life and death are unknown now. .

The prince talked for a long time, but he didn't get a response from the girl. He leaned over curiously to look at Yao Shouning.

The girl was holding the paper with both hands, her plump and small lips were slightly parted, and her big bright eyes were staring blankly at the direction of the paper.

Under the dim light, her cheeks seemed to be coated with a layer of soft golden light. The prince was very close to her, and he could see the fine hairs on her cheek skin. The skin was delicate and fair, like ripe fruity fragrance. peaches.

'Gudong. '

Shizi subconsciously swallowed his saliva and made a loud voice. After he realized it, his face flushed instantly.

"Shouning, what are you thinking about, Shouning?" As if to cover up his guilty conscience, Shi Zi raised his voice.

As soon as the words fell, Lu Zhi immediately regretted it.

The gods are too quiet tonight.

He raised his volume slightly, not only Lu Wuji outside the carriage could hear him clearly, but everyone living nearby might have heard the movement.

Everyone walked quietly, his behavior was very likely to attract the attention of evil spirits.

Shi Zi felt a little remorseful in his heart, when suddenly two soft knocking sounds came from outside the car, obviously Lu Wuji was silently reminding him to keep his voice down.

Lu Zhi pushed down his hair, and before he could speak, Yao Shouning turned his head.

She didn't remind him to speak softly like Lu Wuji did, but stared at him in a daze until Shi Zi was terrified, and whispered unconsciously:

"Shouning, I was wrong, I..."

"My son, tell me, can Master Wen survive?" She ignored Lu Zhi's words, but suddenly asked a question.

"I didn't speak loudly on purpose, I just...Huh? Mr. Wen?"

At first, Lu Zhi thought that she turned to stare at him because of what he said, but finally realized that it was Wen Qingzhe she was asking.

"He, he should be able to survive..." Lu Zhi said in a daze:

"In the past, as long as he still has breath, he will be able to bring people back. Although Mr. Xu doesn't say he can revive the dead or give birth to bones, he is still very good at healing wounds..."

"If he survives, do you think history will change?" Yao Shouning asked again.

Her expression was a little complicated. At first, Lu Zhi didn't know why she suddenly mentioned Wen Qingzhe at this juncture, but after hearing what she said, he immediately realized where the problem came from.

The order of Yao Shouning's prediction is: someone's family has a funeral (but I'm not sure which one) - then visits the tomb, opens the coffin and finds a demon - then the shadow of the demon king appears - finally leaves in a carriage, meets Wen Jingsui, from his mouth Heard the news of Wen Qingzhe's death.

From this series of predictions, Yao Shouning and Lu Zhi have the confidence to go and return safely tonight.

But if one of the links in the middle is broken, it may affect the future predictions. If Wen Qingzhe is not dead, there will naturally be variables in Yao Shouning's encounter with Wen Jingsui in the carriage.

"I……"

Shizi stood up and thought about it, but as soon as he moved, he froze again, and finally had to sit down dejectedly.

Mrs. Wen's mother and daughter came to ask for help. He pitied Wen Qingzhe for daring to tell the truth and offended God Qidi. Seeing Yao Shouning's pleading face, he asked Duan Changya to save people without thinking. impulse.

If we compare the lives of Wen Qingzhe and Yao Shouning, Yao Shouning is more important both in public and in private.

From this point, Shizi realized that his actions and thoughts were too simple, and he secretly regretted that he should not have rescued Wen Qingzhe, so that such a big accident happened.

But he couldn't say such words in front of Yao Shouning.

The girl's eyes were pure and flawless, he didn't want to say such words in front of Yao Shouning, as if it would dirty her heart.

But at this moment he was downcast, no matter how well he controlled it, there was still regret in his eyes, Yao Shouning didn't know what was going on in his heart.

Coupled with the increase in her strength, she had already seen the boredom in Lu Zhi's heart.

She stretched out her hand to hold the prince's hand, and shook it comfortingly:
"My lord, don't think too much."

There was no accusation or contempt in her words, only pure comfort.

Lu Zhi's heart moved, and he asked nonchalantly:

"Do you think I'm too much?"

"No." She is really smart, and she knows how to comfort others. When she heard Lu Zhi's question, she shook her head affirmatively, and then explained in a gentle voice:
"Thinking like this is just human nature. We are not saints, so how can we be perfect in everything we do?"

"What's more, a gentleman doesn't care about his heart. It doesn't matter what you think in your heart. The important thing is that although you have some regrets, you didn't tell Brother Duan to stop his actions and give up saving Mr. Wen."

The more he gets along with Yao Shouning, the more the prince will discover her advantages.

She has a lively and outgoing personality, but sometimes she is smart and careful. These comforting words hit Lu Zhi's heart, making him stare at Yao Shouning, speechless for a long time.

The two remained silent for a long time, Lu Zhi's eyes gradually changed, and the atmosphere became lingering. Yao Shouning coughed lightly, and turned his head:
"Okay, let's not talk about that."

The prince was also a little embarrassed, and responded:
"We will arrive at the destination later, let my father release the news, and arrange more people to come as soon as possible."

"it is good."

Afterwards, the two stopped talking, and after an unknown amount of time, Lu Wuji said softly outside:
"arrive."

This road was unimpeded, and the crisis that everyone expected did not come.

The car door opened, and Lu Zhi jumped out first. As soon as Yao Shouning got out, a pungent smell hit his face.

This smell is not purely smelly, but also mixed with a mildew smell that has not been lived in for a long time, with a damp feeling.

After Yao Shouning's eyes got used to the darkness, he quickly saw the environment clearly: this is a narrow alleyway with carriages lying in the middle, and in the deep part of the alleyway is an abandoned house.

This place is already located on the west edge of the city of God, with the green hill behind it. Under the night, the abandoned courtyard seems to be connected with the shadow of the majestic green hill.

Lu Wuji whispered:

"The inside has been 'cleaned', and Lu Zhi knows the entrance, just go in and go down to the tomb."

The 'cleaning up' he mentioned, of course, didn't really take care of it. It should mean that people from the general's mansion visited in advance, and there was no danger.

Lu Zhi nodded, and Lu Wuji said:

"Hurry up and come back, I'll stay here. If there is an accident, call your grandfather and the others immediately." After finishing speaking, he looked at Yao Shouning again, and explained one more sentence:
"Don't worry, Shouning. With your grandfather's footsteps, you will be here within half a quarter of an hour at most when you receive the news."

He said this not only to appease Yao Shouning, but also to remind his son that no matter what happened, he had to endure for a quarter of an hour.

The two boys and girls nodded at the same time, and Lu Wuji stopped talking nonsense and waved his hands:
"go quickly."

The two turned around and walked in. When they reached the gate, Yao Shouning noticed that although the gate was dilapidated, there was a clever hole left for only one person to bend over to pass through.

This hole is probably not a coincidence, it should be a deliberate arrangement by Lu Wuji's people.

Shizi slipped through the hole first, then stretched out a hand:

"Shouning, come here."

There was an elder in the front to explore the way, and Lu Wuji was guarding the rear. Yao Shouning took his time and reached out, followed by the door and entered the inner courtyard.

The courtyard had almost collapsed, and there was a smell of no one living in it for a long time, but the son knew his way like an old horse, and went straight into the room.

The room was pitch-black, with dilapidated furniture piled up everywhere, Shizi seemed unaffected by walking in the darkness, he pulled Yao Shouning around the obstacles and walked straight to the inner room.

The structure of this house is simple, the outside is the living room, the inside is connected to the bedroom, and the entrance to the cemetery is at the innermost part of the bedroom.

Yao Shouning's eyes adapted to the darkness, and he turned his head to look after entering the bedroom.

Perhaps it was influenced by the last time she entered King Qi's tomb. As soon as she entered the bedroom, she wanted to find a bed first.

But there was no bed in this house. I don't know if the owner of the house moved away when he left, or was taken away by other refugees later.

The furnishings in the room were simple, and valuable things had long since disappeared. There was only a stool with a broken leg and a very worn-out wardrobe, making the room look empty.

Shizi went straight to the cabinet and carefully stretched out his hand to open the cabinet door.

Behind the closet looked to be a wall of earth, but Shizi turned his head and smiled at Yao Shouning, then suddenly pushed——

'Crackling'.

The seemingly thick earthen wall moved with a push, and there was a sound of opening the door.

Then a big hole appeared in the rear, and a dull, rustic smell blew out from it, the prince beckoned:
"Shouning, come here."

"The entrance is here."

This was within Yao Shouning's expectation, but also beyond Yao Shouning's expectation.

After all, the abandoned house is empty, with everything in sight, and almost all the usable things have been removed. It still seems very strange that the wardrobe is left here.

When Lu Zhi opened the closet, Yao Shouning was a little disappointed, but the entrance was hidden behind the wall, leaving only the closet as a disguise.

Shizi chuckled and reminded:
"It's a bit deep inside, I'll go in first, don't be afraid after you come in, I'll catch you."

He pushed open the 'door' into the tomb, and when he was talking, he was close to the 'door', his voice seemed to form an echo, which seemed a bit dull.

Judging from the echoes, the inside of the cemetery is indeed very deep. The wind poured into the door of the tomb, and it turned around faintly, making a 'woo-woo' sound, which made the paper pasted by the old window make strange noises.

Under the night, such a voice was a bit creepy, and Yao Shouning's body stood up with goose bumps, feeling the danger that seemed to be hidden.

She took a deep breath, not wanting to show fear and burden Shizi, she just said calmly, "My son, be careful."

Yao Shouning reminded her in a calm tone, but Lu Zhi knew her very well, and he could hear her vague reminder from her words, so he tensed up all of a sudden, and responded:
"it is good."

At the beginning, he didn't care much about entering the tomb. After all, Lu Wuji had already let people explore the way ahead of time, and he didn't encounter any crisis.

But Yao Shouning's reminder made him vigilant, and his heartstrings were tense. After speaking, he put his hand on the edge of the entrance and jumped into the tomb with ease.

After he landed quietly, he whistled softly after a long while, which was a signal that the two of them had agreed in advance, indicating that he was safe and sound.

Yao Shouning breathed a sigh of relief.

'Whoo--'

The night wind penetrated through the window and blew into the tomb hole inside the cupboard door, making weeping whispers.

The sound of the wind was mixed with a faint smell, and there was something that made Yao Shouning feel uneasy. She always felt that her back was hairy and her scalp was tight.

Uneasy, she couldn't help calling softly:
"Sir."

'Shi-zi-zi-zi-zi-'

'Shizi-shi-shi-'

The echoes came back one after another, as if another 'her' was talking to herself, this kind of imagination gave her a creepy feeling, and her instinctive premonition urged her to immediately back away and leave here.

"I am fine."

Lu Zhi's voice came from under the ground, judging from the direction of the voice, he was probably about ten feet high from the ground.

"I dare not light the lamp for the time being, but I have not sensed the existence of other living creatures."

In the sound of 'Xisuo', Shizi fiddled with something and said:

"The demon bell on my waist didn't ring."

This is a very important message. The fact that the demon bell did not ring means that the demon has not appeared. Yao Shouning's uneasiness may be a reminder from her previous foresight.

She breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and the prince said again:

"Shouning down, I will catch you."

Yao Shouning responded. Although she knew in her heart that there would be no danger after going down, she was still full of inexplicable resistance to going to the grave this time. Hearing this, she said:

"You must catch me."

"it is good."

The son's answer was firm and forceful. Yao Shouning took a deep breath, comforted himself in his heart, then turned around to support the entrance of the tomb, and first turned around and tried to poke his legs into the cave.

The cave was pitch black, like a bottomless abyss, even though she knew the prince was inside, she couldn't see his figure at all.

The uneasiness and the advance prediction that she would encounter evil spirits during this trip made her already rich imagination unable to restrain at this time. She always felt that there seemed to be a pair of cold hands reaching out to grab her legs in the darkness.

Just this kind of imagination made the hairs on her back stand upright, and the cold air penetrated from her ankles, as if freezing her blood instantly.

But the scene Yao Shouning imagined didn't happen. Her trust in the son made her courage to let go, and she fell into Lu Zhi's arms smoothly.

The son's embrace was warm and his arms were strong, just as he had promised, he held her firmly. The warmth in his arms dispelled the cold air, making her feel a bit of peace of mind at the bottom of this cold tomb.

"Thank you."

This was not the time to be shy, Yao Shouning thanked her, and the prince put her down silently.

Lu Zhi took out the torch that he had prepared in advance and lit it up. As soon as the fire appeared, both of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Huh?" Shizi saw the surrounding environment clearly, and then exclaimed.

Yao Shouning looked around in the light of the fire, and also showed surprise.

According to the path of the tomb that Lu Wuji had explored in advance, after entering the tomb, he would first enter a small path dug temporarily by the people of the general's mansion, and finally walk forward windingly for several feet before entering the half-destroyed main tomb.

But at this moment, when the two of them jumped inside, nowhere was there any trail, and they clearly entered the main tomb directly.

Under the illumination of the lights, one can see that the place is unusually spacious, with more than five feet in length and width, and about one and a half feet in height, making the whole tomb look extremely empty.

The most eye-catching thing is an extremely large black coffin parked in the middle, which is much larger than ordinary coffins.

Such a scene is completely different from what Lu Wuji said before, causing Lu Zhi and Yao Shouning to look at each other in blank dismay. After a long time, Lu Zhi swallowed his saliva with a 'gudong', and asked suspiciously:
"Did we go to the wrong place?"

The two of them looked around, and niches were carved out of the stone wall, and various murals were carved on them. In each painting, there was a person, male or female, dancing gracefully, wearing silk belts or wearing Shayi looks extraordinary.

But Yao Shouning didn't know if he was affected by the uneasy premonition in his heart. He always felt that the 'people' on these murals seemed to be alive, and the eyes were glowing red at this moment, staring at him.

Eye?Yao Shouning's heart trembled, and he suddenly moved closer to Lu Zhi:
"Sir..."

She squeezed beside Lu Zhi's arm and called him softly.

"What's wrong?" When Lu Zhi was leaned on by her, his heart fluttered at first, and then he heard the tension in her words, and then his heart trembled, he woke up, and asked in a low voice.

"Do you think there is something wrong with these murals?"

"mural?"

As soon as Lu Zhi was reminded by her, he also raised the torch in his hand and looked around - under the dim light, the 'people' on the murals looked like stone statues at first glance, with a blank expression, but upon closer inspection, they could be found There is light in the eyes, the corners of the mouth are slightly hooked, and the expression is vivid, as if it does not look like a dead thing.

Under the light, the eyeballs of these people on the murals were covered with a layer of fiery red luster, with a sense of coquettishness.

"hey-hey--"

"Ha ha--"

"Haha."

……

A series of frivolous voices of young men and women sounded in the mind of Shizi one after another. He shook his head vigorously, and all the voices disappeared in an instant, as if the laughter he heard before was an illusion.

"It's weird."

Shizi has already noticed that something is wrong, "The layout here is different from what my father originally said."

I don't know if the people sent by Lu Wuji were blinded by the evil spirits when they came in to explore the way, or the two accidentally broke into the demon trap, obviously something happened.

Lu Zhi made a decisive decision:

"Shouning, let's get out of here first."

He looked up and looked around, the eyes that were alive before had lost their luster, and were as cold as stone statues.

But upon closer inspection, one can find that the corners of the mouths of these statues, which were raised before, have now drooped down. Inside the alcove, the statues and paintings that originally looked fairy-like, now look a little ghostly.

This tomb of King Han was built hundreds of years ago, and it was exposed in the middle. Logically speaking, even if the coffin has not been moved, the tomb is almost destroyed.

If you have seen a mural painted with light, the paint will have problems long ago, and it is impossible to be so bright and moving.

"might have……"

The crown prince glanced at Yao Shouning, but he didn't say anything after that, but Yao Shouning already understood the unfinished meaning of his words: there may be evil spirits.

Yao Shouning gave a wry smile and sighed:
"My lord, we may not be able to leave for the time being."

When she realized something was wrong, she had already looked for a way out. As soon as she said the words, Lu Zhi understood what she meant, and subconsciously raised her head to look back—this look, even though he was mentally prepared. , still complexion greatly changed.

The door through which the two entered had long since disappeared. The surrounding stone walls were smooth and neat, and the alcoves were framed together. The people in the painting stared at the two people inside the tomb. Where was there any way out?

The black coffin in the middle hadn't moved yet, and Yao Shouning's mind recalled the scene in the Realm of Foresight: After the coffin was opened, a half-skeleton, half-demon thing sat up from the coffin, stretched out his hand and grabbed his neck.

And on the surrounding stone walls, the huge shadow of the Fox King descended...

The son was faintly anxious, and pulled Yao Shouning behind him, and put his hand on the scabbard beside him.

Yao Shouning was terrified to the extreme, but calmed down instead.

"There is no retreat, only forward."

She spoke suddenly, and calmly said in Lu Zhi's surprised eyes:
"My lord, let's open the coffin, I want to see what is hidden in the coffin."
