The imaginary big snake did not appear, and Zong Zhengke and Li Yi went all the way down the ruined steps without danger. When they were down-to-earth, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief in unison, and they were stunned together.

Li Yi touched the back of her head and said with a smile: "It turns out that the third girl is still scared." ”

Zong Zhengke's hand holding the soft sword hung down, and the tip of the sword lightly touched the ground, but it couldn't pierce the ground paved with white jade color rocks for a single bit. Li Yi's teasing didn't hear her.

"It's useless, this is the corundum rock that is a specialty of the Tianxing Country, and it is the hardest. If you don't infuse your true qi, you can't do anything with such a good sword in your hand. After Li Yi finished with a smile, he casually threw the small dusty ivory handle to the ground. I heard a soft pop, and the handle of the ivory, which had been infused with true qi, sank into the ground two inches deep.

Li Yi sighed, squatted down in surprise, studied for a moment, and concluded: "This is not an ordinary corundum rock, or a Ningyuan corundum from the border between the Tianxing Kingdom and the Golden Horde, and it has the best texture. ”

Zong Zhengke's face was blank, his steps were light, and he walked past Li Yi to the nearest palace. In fact, she recognized the origin of the rock on the ground at first sight, but she didn't want to tell Li Yi. Even after so many years, Ningyuan Mansion and Golden Horde, these words can still deeply pierce her heart.

"Alas...... Slow down! Li Yi hurriedly pulled out the little whisk and got up to chase after Zong Zhengke, inevitably complaining again, "I said third girl, even if you learn a few styles of swordsmanship, don't be so reckless?" Who knows where that snake came from?! ”

Zong Zhengke took a deep breath, turned to face Li Yi, and meekly lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, the little girl won't venture again, Immortal Master, please first." ”

Li Yi opened his mouth slightly, and the girl stood in front of him with a tame look, and if he wanted to nag, he was naturally blocked. But will this girl really follow honestly? Li Yi really didn't have that confidence. He saw that this girl was definitely soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, and she would not be lightly swayed by others, and her ideas were very big.

"Auntie, is it okay to beg you for the poor?" Li Yi sighed and persuaded kindly, "Really, if something happens to you, if you can't help it, you really have no shame to face your friend Venerable Su Hui." You should do the poor a favor, won't you? ”

Zong Zhengke felt more and more surprised and confused, and the young Taoist who was staring at him opposite was completely different from when she met her as Su Hui Venerable. She could barely tell which one was the real him.

She thought for a while and said, "Immortal Master, you are serious, and the little girl will do what she says." ”

Li Yi saw that Zong Zhengke's face was full of sincerity, and he also relaxed a little. He turned his face and looked up at the palace not far away, and said with a smile: "It's exactly the same as the Ci'an Hall in the backyard of Cining Palace where the Queen Mother lives in the Tianxingguo Imperial Palace, it seems that what I got is quite credible." ”

Zong Zhengke's eyes flashed slightly, it turned out that Li Yi's coming to Yuyan Mountain was not unrelated to this underground ruin. He was honest in front of the three girls, if she was Venerable Su Hui at this time, I don't know what he would say. Also, how could he be so clear about the situation in the Heavenly Luck Palace? He was right, that solemn and luxurious palace was indeed exactly the same as the Ci'an Palace.

"You already know about the storage zài here?" Zong Zhengke asked.

Li Yi walked forward with his feet and said, "It's not just me, your friend and her senior brother are probably here for this." I didn't expect that thanks to you, I won the first place in the poor road. Su Hui said there, the general trend is coming, hehe. He laughed inexplicably.

"Can the immortal master tell the little girl about the origin of this place?" Zong Zhengke lowered his face to hide the smile on his lips, and his tone couldn't be more earnest, "The little girl has lived in Yuyan Mountain for a long time, but she didn't know that there was such a mystery underground. ”

"Of course you won't know, although you are also from the official family of the Tianxing Kingdom, the secret history of the royal family should not and cannot reach your ears." Li Yi stood on the steps of the palace, pushed open the closed wooden door, pointed inside, and said, "Here you can witness the most talked-about relationship between the queen of heaven and the palace and the princess in the history of the palace." ”

Zong Zhengke praised it at the right time: "I want to hear it in detail." ”

Li Yi looked left and right in the hall, and suddenly said, "It's empty, there's nothing, it's really stingy." After sending two sentences, he explained, "Although you are a child of Tianxing, you have been raised in a nunnery since you were a child, and I am afraid that you are not clear about the history of Tianxingguo." Have you ever heard of Emperor Tiande? ”

"In my spare time, I also read miscellaneous books." Zong Zhengke couldn't help but argue, and then said, "I know Emperor Tiande. After a pause, he said in surprise, "Could it be that this place is related to Emperor Tiande and Concubine Dong?" ”

How could she not know? In her previous life, she was also a royal princess, although she was mixed with food and clothing every day, she had also heard of some palace secrets. Emperor Tiande and Concubine Dong Guifei are those characters who complain about the deep palace from time to time. Even her adoptive mother, Concubine Yu, once sighed that although Emperor Tiande was a faint monarch, to Concubine Dong Guifei, he was the best man in the world. Because this man, for the sake of his beloved woman, abandoned the country and abandoned a qiē.

Li Yi saw that Zong Zhengke could keep up with his train of thought, so he nodded and smiled: "Isn't it?" Do you know where this is? This is the place where Emperor Tiande and Concubine Dong Guifei once lived in seclusion after leaving Tianxingjing. As far as I know, the imperial concubines have lived here for at least three years. ”

"It's only been three years?" Zong Zhengke didn't know, the details of the information she had in hand were where there might be hidden treasures. According to the Shinni, the person who left the booklet was involved in the arrangement of the place.

Li Yi sneered and said, "How long do you think it will be?" Emperor Tiande ascended the throne at the age of fifteen, and he was only thirty-five years old when he passed on to the crown prince and disappeared with Dong Guifei, but how could he really adapt to a life away from authority when he had been an emperor for twenty years? ”

Zong Zhengke was silent. She felt that Li Yi's words made sense.

Emperor Tiande's life can be said to be distinct, and the dividing line is the draft in the fifteenth year of Tiande. Prior to this, he was a wise and holy monarch praised by everyone in the government and the opposition of the Tianxing Kingdom, who was kind and benevolent to the people, considerate and tolerant, lenient and strict to the courtiers, and good at listening to advice and not lacking in opinions.

During his reign, Tianxing's national strength was thriving, the officials ruled Qingming, the people were happy, and he personally built a strong army. At that time, the Eastern Tang Kingdom was simply surviving by the snort of the heavens, and it was always worried that this ambitious young emperor would move eastward and conquer the Eastern Tang Kingdom.

However, the concubines of the queen and the palace, from the queen to the last of the concubines, are just pawns of Emperor Tiande to balance and control the court game. He seems to treat his women fairly and impartially, but in fact he is unusually ruthless and cold. His favor is given only to those who he thinks should have grace.

But Tiande's fifteen-year draft has changed the majestic emperor and made this most ruthless person the most affectionate. That year, a young woman from Yuchuan County was elected to the palace, but she was not a palace concubine, but a palace maid who served the nobles, and she was the most famous Dong concubine in the history of the current Tianxing concubine.

In the sixteenth year of Tiande, the emperor inadvertently met the Dong family in the Ci'an Hall in the backyard of Cining Palace, where the Queen Mother lived. At that time, Emperor Tiande had completely controlled the front and rear dynasties and the palace, so even if there were countless open guns and arrows aimed at the Dong family, he could also firmly protect it under his wings, and praised him as a concubine all the way, and even called the prince born by Dong Guifei his first son, who was born as a prince.

For this reason, he did a lot of things that he would never have done before, just for this woman and her son. His country has become a mess as a result. He has changed from a Dao Ming Jun to a faint Jun who is bewitched by beauty, and the demon concubine of the country is naturally Dong Guifei. It's a pity that the noble prince died in less than a month, and Concubine Dong and Emperor Tiande were both grief-stricken.

In the twentieth year of Tiande, Emperor Tiande was in his prime, and he actually left an edict to the crown prince, and he and Dong Guifei disappeared without a trace, and they have been extinct in the world ever since. I thought it would be a fairy couple, but I didn't expect the story to be so chilling.

Li Yi took Zong Zhengke to wander around these five palaces one by one, telling her that where was the place where the two emperors and concubines made love, where was the palace where the Dong family was given the residence of the first nobles, where was the new palace that the Dong family moved when they were crowned concubines, and where was the palace where the Dong family was named a concubine after giving birth.

Each of these four palaces was taller and more luxurious, but all of them were empty, without any furnishings, and they were extremely desolate. The palace in the middle was imitated by the arch guard in the Qianzheng Hall where the emperor lived in the Tianxingjing Palace, Li Yi pushed open the door and smiled at Zong Zhengke in surprise: "It turns out that all the good things are here, you can see." ”

He stepped aside, and a brilliant and dazzling bright light shot straight into Zong Zhengke's eyes. She subconsciously closed her eyes, and when she opened her eyes again, she saw countless treasures in the hall, and it was the overflowing jewels that stung her eyes.

The two of them cautiously entered, bypassing the treasures of the hall and slowly approaching the center of the main hall. Both of them have extraordinary eyesight, and they have already discovered the anomaly there. Li Yi walked inside, and Zong Zhengke only followed silently. When he got closer, Zong Zhengke's eyes shrank.

Li Yi glanced at Zong Zhengke, showed admiration, and praised: "You are really bold, maybe you believe in the Buddha, and you can also look down on the cycle of life and death." ”

It turned out that in the bejeweled atmosphere of the hall, a jade-white coffin with a transparent coffin lid was quietly placed. The person in the coffin had a lifelike face, a handsome man and a beautiful woman. It's just that the two are not lying side by side, but facing each other sideways.

The man's hands were tightly choked on the woman's neck, and it could be seen that the green tendons on the back of the hands were bulging, and the knuckles were glowing with snow white. The woman held a dagger in both hands and plunged it into the back of the man's heart, leaving only the gem-encrusted handle exposed. Whether it is the blood on the corner of the woman's mouth or the blood on the back of the man's heart, it is a dark black color that seems to carry countless hatred and resentment, and it is frozen and unmoving.

This is not terrible, the most terrifying thing is the expressions of the two. They were all full of resentment, especially the man, the killing intent in his eyes was still substantial until now, which made a determined person like Zong Zhengke inevitably moved.

She had seen the portraits of the two men. In the eighteenth year of Tiande, Dong Guifei gave birth to the "first son" of Emperor Tiande, and the happiness of a family of three was faithfully painted by the court painters. And the faces of the two people who killed each other in the white coffin have hardly changed from that portrait.
