Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Crystal Coffin—Bai Yingying

Ling'er went down to the bottom of the well, Mu Chenfeng opened the fire fold in front of the way to lead the way, and with the faint light of the fire, everyone followed and groped forward, Ling'er walked in front of King Heng, and King Heng broke off.

Although there are these three masters who can be regarded as long-term masters to accompany her, Ling'er is a flower of the motherland living in the sunshine of the twenty-first century, where has she ever had such an experience, she only feels that this cave is weird and gloomy, and bursts of cool air are coming out from the top of her head. For a while, I looked overhead, and fantasized about some bats, crows, and the like flying over; After a while, I looked at my feet again, and I was afraid that there were some poisonous snakes or something. walked on thin ice like this for a while, only to hear the sound of 'dangchang', the tense string in Ling'er's mind was broken, and he was so frightened that he cried out "ah".

The other three hurriedly gathered around to check the reason, only to see that Ling'er had kicked over an oil lamp at his feet. Mu Chenfeng hurriedly picked up the oil lamp, but fortunately, there was still a small amount of lamp oil left in the lamp, which could still last for a while. Ling'er was so frightened when she saw that she just touched an oil lamp, and smiled at everyone self-deprecatingly, but the light was dim, and no one paid attention to her, and everyone continued to move forward.

After what happened just now, Ling'er was much calmer, and she was careless, and now she doesn't want to do anything, just follow everyone.

In this way, the four of them fumbled for a while, and vaguely felt that there was a light in front of them. Mu Chenfeng blew out the oil lamp and walked towards the light. After walking for about a tea time, I arrived at the place where the light was, only to find that there were two hidden doors, and the light came out of the crack in the door.

Mu Chenfeng tried to gently push the door, and the three of Baili Xin'er were busy hiding behind the door. After the door was pushed open for a long time, there was no movement, Mu Chenfeng poked his head out to observe, and the four of them quietly walked in.

If Ling'er hadn't calmed down at this time, I'm afraid she would have fainted to death. I saw seven or eight corpses lying horizontally behind the door, all of them bleeding from seven orifices, and they were extremely miserable. Judging by their costumes, they are all dressed as maids, and their ages should be around ten years old. Baili Xin'er squatted down and probed the snort and pulse of several of them, and said lightly: "When I didn't die for a long time, I was poisoned and died, and I guess it has nothing to do with the person who just went out."

Ling'er was shocked: "Are you talking about Prime Minister Ji Qian, that is, my father?"

King Heng said: "This is not the time to find out who the murderer is, wait until you go back and see what it is."

Ling'er knew that King Heng was protecting Ling'er at this time, and she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to stand the fact that her father was a murderous demon. In fact, how could Ling'er have half feelings for that Ji Qian, she was just surprised that Ji Qian, who looked like a high-sounding and humble gentleman, could poison so many young women, and it was too vicious and vicious.

The four of them stepped over the messy corpses in front of the door and walked inside. If it is said that when I first came in, I felt cold because I was afraid, at this time, Ling'er really felt the wind gusting and creepy. didn't care about anything else, grabbed King Heng's sleeve tightly, and followed him step by step. King Heng looked back at Ling'er, who was already pale, and then looked down at the little hand that grabbed his shirt, because he was too nervous and forced, the bulge of his knuckles was especially obvious. Ling'er only felt that the back of her hand was warm, and King Heng had already held Ling'er's little hand and pulled her forward.

Further on is a half-moon-shaped gate, which looks brightly lit, but it is also unusually cold. Mu Chenfeng and Baili Xin'er stepped forward, and King Heng pulled Ling'er to follow, but saw that the two pestles in front of him did not enter in front of the door.

Ling'er was curious, passed the two of them and tiptoed to look in, and suddenly saw a crystal coffin placed in the center. Only then did the four of them enter the room and go to the crystal coffin to see what was going on. But seeing a beautiful woman sleeping in this crystal coffin, her eyebrows are picturesque, her nose is slightly upturned, her red lips are bright and dripping, her black hair is like ink on her head, and a white hosta is simply inserted in her hair.

The four of them observed for a long time, and Ling'er only felt a faint pain in her heart, but she didn't know why. At this time, King Heng turned to Ling'er beside him with a questioning face and said, "How long has it been since your mother died?"

Ling'er recalled that Qingxi had said that his wife had died when Miss was ten years old, and that she was fifteen years old this year, so she hesitated: "About five years."

King Heng's question deepened, and he said for a while: "This person is Mrs. Xiangfu, the pearl of the former old Xiangye, your mother." King Heng had seen the Bai family at the previous palace banquet, and at that time, the Bai family had both talent and virtue, which attracted the admiration of many people, but she chose Ji Qian, who was from an average background, which was really unexpected.

After listening to King Heng, Ling'er couldn't help but take a closer look, although she had a little impression of the Bai family, it was not true enough, at this time, she paid attention to observe, only to find that the woman in the crystal coffin was really similar to her mother in this life. Although Ling'er has no feelings for this Bai family, after all, she is the person who raised her body, and she can't help but cry sadly in the current situation.

Baili Xin'er carefully looked at this stone room and found that the divine beast where the everlasting lantern was placed seemed to be something abnormal. Strange in his heart, his hand turned the head of the divine beast at will, only to hear a dull friction between the stones, and a stone door was opened to the wall facing the crystal coffin. Baili Xin'er looked at everyone, and Ling'er stopped crying and looked at Shimen. Mu Chenfeng cautiously pulled out the dart on his waist and threw it in, without any abnormality, and then took the lead in stepping into the stone gate.

Ling'er followed and walked in, and what was puzzling was that this was actually a woman's bedroom, which was quite elegantly furnished, and all the items used in daily life were very complete. Ling'er walked to the dressing table, opened the jewelry box casually, took out a peculiar flower-shaped gold hairpin, stared at it for a moment, and then put it into his arms. When King Heng saw his actions, he must have left a thought, and he didn't ask much, just paced back and forth in the room to observe carefully.

Mu Chenfeng saw that this stone room was unfocused, so he checked the maidservant's room next to it, but found nothing.

Baili Xin'er looked around and said, "There is no dust in the things used in the room, so it can be seen that Madame Bai has just passed away."

Ling'er felt a pain in her heart, raised her head and asked, "That means he imprisoned my mother for five years?"

Baili Xin'er was noncommittal, but looked at Ling'er sympathetically. Mu Chenfeng and King Heng already knew the truth when they came in, but they didn't say it explicitly, and when they saw Ling'er's grief at this time, they couldn't help but feel pity in their hearts.

At this time, Ling'er couldn't wait to immediately break that Ji Qian's body into pieces, imprison his wife for five years, ignore his daughter, and let others bully, if he hadn't been reincarnated here, this Bai mother and daughter would not have died. I'm afraid that Bai didn't know that his daughter had been killed until he died, and he was still enduring all this in humiliation, just to protect his daughter, he couldn't help gritting his teeth and said: "Mother, the child will definitely avenge you!"

When King Heng saw Ling'er in such a situation, he couldn't help but say: "Mrs. Bai has been suffering here for five years, and she must miss her daughter day and night, and Ling'er must not act rashly and live up to her wife's wishes."

Ling'er didn't say a word, turned around and went out to the crystal coffin, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed respectfully three times, which can be regarded as filial piety for the owner of this body.

King Heng, who came out closely, couldn't help but squat down and gently tap the ground where Ling'er was kneeling, and the sound of "dong dong" should not be on the ground.

Ling'er got up and looked down at his feet, there was nothing unusual about the bluestone paved here and elsewhere. Baili Xin'er took out a small bottle from her bosom, opened the mouth of the bottle, and saw a small black insect about an inch long crawling out. Xin'er squatted down and gently blew the small insect in his palm, and the insect fell to the ground. In just a few moments, the black insect actually burrowed into the crack in the bluestone. Seeing this, Baili Xin'er pulled out the golden hairpin on his head and slashed hard along the perimeter of the bluestone, and then withdrew the hairpin. King Heng came over at this time, and secretly used his internal strength, only to see that the one-foot-square bluestone seemed to be stuck to his palm, and slowly left the ground. When the bluestone was completely removed, what appeared in front of everyone was indeed a copper plate-like thing, with a proper seal on it.

King Heng got up and smiled at Mu Chenfeng, who was looking at him, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Baili Xin'er was surprised: "This is the ten boxes made of thousand-year-old cold iron handed down by the emperor of the previous dynasty?"

King Heng replied: "If my guess is correct, this should be the cold iron treasure chest that Ji Qian obtained from Old Master Bai, but why it fell into his hands, and why he imprisoned Madame Bai here is unknown."

Ling'er continued: "Because my mother has the key to open the cold iron treasure chest in her hand."

Mu Chenfeng hurriedly said: "Since Madame Bai is dead, and the cold iron box is still stored here, it is obvious that Madame did not give the key to Ji Qian in the end."

Ling'er looked at the two of them and couldn't help asking, "What is in this box that can make a person so mad?"

Mu Chenfeng said: "The legend of these ten cold iron boxes is a rare treasure looted by the emperor Ji Moran from the people in the previous dynasty, and ordinary people only need one box to be rich and rival the country, so not only do countless people want to get these ten boxes in the Great Zhou, but even those foreign feudal clans have repeatedly entered the Great Zhou to inquire about this box."

Ling'er said again: "Why didn't the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty take these back to the imperial court, but let them go outside?"

King Heng couldn't help but smile and said, "Father doesn't want to get this box, it's just that he has been looking for it all these years and has never found anything."

Ling'er suddenly understood, and turned to King Heng and said, "You have also been looking for these cold iron boxes?"

King Heng nodded slightly, but said helplessly: "According to the current opinion, what if you find it, no one can open the box without the key, Mrs. Bai has gone, and Old Master Bai and General Bai will never say where the key goes."

Ling'er said again: "This is why my grandfather returned to his hometown and stayed away from the capital, and his only son was also sent to the border, right?"

King Heng bowed his head slightly in agreement, and to this day he still doesn't understand why Bai Xiangye handed over the cold iron box to his son-in-law, but not to his father, but he has incurred his father's suspicion for several years.

Ling'er couldn't help but sigh: "The hustle and bustle of people is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of people is for profit, it is better to bury these treasures here, and no one will die like my mother from now on." After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the stone room, and walked towards the exit without looking back.

King Heng hurriedly followed, leaving Baili Xin'er and Mu Chenfeng to carefully restore the bluestone to its original state and cover it up before hurriedly following.

The four of them returned to the wellhead smoothly, and put the barren grass back to its original place, at this time it was already dawn, Ling'er and Baili Xin'er were still returning to Lingxi Courtyard, Mu Chenfeng and King Heng each returned to their homes.
