After walking along the spider silk for a while, and entering a forest, Mo Qi thought that he had led the wrong way, but suddenly found some candles in front of him, so he took the two of them over.

The jumping candle flame was a pair of big white candles, and grandma was squatting in front of a grave with a fruit bowl, and glanced back at the three of them, "Come on, there is incense in the bamboo basket, come over first to give your father and mother a stick of incense." ”

Mo Qi glanced at the two of them, and knew that the tomb was buried with the Xiliang City Lord and his wife, so he nodded to the two, "I'll go outside to help you guard." ”

Qi Shangyi walked over, found incense and paper money in the bamboo basket, took out six incense sticks and lit them on the white candle, and divided three to Zifeng Xiqi.

Grandma set up the sacrifice and retreated to the side to burn the paper money, Qi Shangyi and Zifeng Xiqi brothers and sisters knelt down in front of the grave, bowed three times, and grandma inserted incense into the incense burner for the two, but the brother and sister did not stand up.

"Kneel a little longer if you want." Grandma glanced at the two, sighed, and continued to burn paper money on the side, "Back then, Mrs. asked me not to bury the two of them in the imperial mausoleum, but to find a clean place to bury the husband and wife together, I thought that this was the place where the two met for the first time, so I buried the two here." ”

Zifeng Xiqi didn't make a sound, but bowed down again, didn't get up for a long time, Qi Shangyi looked sideways, and seemed to be able to see his body twitching, presumably it should be tears, but he was embarrassed to raise his head. Qi Shangyi now knows some things when he was a child, and he also has feelings for the two people in the tomb, so he can naturally understand Zifeng Xiqi's mood at the moment, so he reached out and touched his back.

After a long time, Zifeng Xiqi raised her head, there were still tears in the corners of her eyes, she lowered her head and wiped it with the corners of her sleeves, helped Qi Shangyi to get up, and the brother and sister bowed to their grandmother again.

"Mama Qi, thank you." Zifeng Xiqi said.

Grandma's eyes were also red, she nodded at the brother and sister, and hurriedly turned her back to wipe the corners of her eyes, before she came back to her senses and said, "I have taken you to see the graves of your father and mother, and you must remember to come back every year to worship in the future." ”

"Got it." Qi Shangyi replied in a voice.

Grandma nodded, took the lantern from the side, and walked forward, Qi Shangyi and Zifeng Xiqi hurriedly followed.

"You should have already gone to the palace to see, the main hall has already sunk to the bottom of the lake," Grandma said as she walked in front, and Mo Qi, who was guarding outside, saw the three of them coming out, and also hurriedly walked over, and Grandma continued: "I found another way to enter the main hall." ”

"Huh?" Mo Qi didn't seem to believe it, in fact, Qi Shangyi was also puzzled, this hall had already sunk to the bottom of the lake, even if there were other ways to enter, it should be flooded inside, right? In ancient times, there was no diving equipment, and it didn't take long to come out if you went in.

"There is a dungeon under the main hall, maybe there is no water yet," Zifeng Xiqi, who had been silent, opened his mouth, and during the day he wanted to enter the main hall to see if he could enter the dungeon, but unfortunately there were too many people, so he didn't say it, but he didn't expect grandma to think of this.

"I searched everywhere after the main hall was burned, and I really didn't see the rumored exorcism order, but now that I think about it, it seems that it is only possible in the underground palace." Grandma said as she stretched out her hand to remove a large patch of reed grass in front of her, revealing the surface of the lake, and there was a raft on the lake.

Grandma turned around and handed the lantern in her hand to Qi Shangyi, stretched out her hand to the front of the raft and slapped it, only to see the water swinging, and then drifted away from the shore, Zifeng Xiqi saw this, reached out and hugged Qi Shangyi and jumped lightly, and jumped on the raft, and then Mo Qi and Grandma also got on the raft.

Qi Shangyi sat in front with a lantern, Mo Qi took the initiative to take on the role of the boatman, holding the pole at the stern, and Grandma and Zifeng Xiqi sat in the middle, directing the direction from time to time.

After a while, the raft touched the shore, grandma jumped on the shore first, everyone followed, this seems to be a small island, walked not far, saw a hole, grandma stood at the entrance of the cave and turned back to the crowd and said: "It seems that the earthquake was held up by the stones that fell from the mountain, forming such an entrance, this was originally a corridor outside the main hall, I looked for someone to go down, and it was still open, but it was not sure how far we could go, we walked, and then turned back when we couldn't go." ”

Everyone nodded, and followed Grandma into the passage, except for the section that was exposed outside, the more inside, the narrower it became, everyone had to bend down and walk forward, Grandma was in the front, Zifeng Xiqi led Qi Shangyi in the middle, and Mo Qi was behind.

The passage is sloping downward, but there are squeezed raised stones everywhere, which can also be landed to cushion some downward impulse.

"Tired?" Zifeng Xiqi glanced back at Qi Shangyi and asked with concern.

Qi Shangyi gritted his teeth and shook his head, in fact, he hadn't been walking for long, but he kept bending over like this, and his waist was getting more and more sore, but thinking that Mo Qi and Zifeng Xiqi were taller than him, and he was more tired than himself if he bent over, so Qi Shangyi had to grit his teeth and shake his head, and continue to follow everyone forward.

Suddenly, there was a sound of wading water in front, it turned out that grandma stepped into a ditch, and everyone followed into the water, only to find that they could finally straighten their waists, and quickly moved their muscles and bones, regardless of the water under their feet.

In fact, the water under his feet is less than his knees, but he has been in this dark place all year round, and the water is especially cold.

Grandma looked around, and there were a few candles in the wall holes, and after trying them, there were a few that could be lit, but because of the dampness, there was always a crackling sound when they burned.

After a few candles burned normally, Qi Shangyi saw that this was actually a circular hall with several large stone pillars standing around it.

"It's a side hall." Zifeng Xiqi recognized it at a glance, and then pulled Qi Shangyi over in surprise and pointed to the stone pillar on the side, "Xiyue, you look at the top of the stone pillar." ”

Qi Shangyi stared at the stone pillar pointed by Zifeng Xiqi in a daze, there was a yellow watermark beyond the water surface, and when the water rose, the stone pillar would be half flooded, but some vague scratches began to appear on the stone pillar, one by one, it seemed to be drawn by a dagger.

"My name?" Qi Shangyi looked back at Zifeng Xiqi with a little surprise, the top of the stone pillar was vaguely engraved with two words, which were not very real, but it was very similar to the word "Xiyue".

Zifeng Xiqi smiled and nodded, "When we were young, we were the tallest rower, you are not as tall as me, naturally you can't compare, in order not to make you angry, I asked people to find a ladder and engraved your name at the top, so that Xiyue is the highest." ”

Qi Shangyi looked at Zifeng Xiqi and smiled, it is really happy to have such an elder brother. (To be continued.) )
