Altar? What altar?

But Yang Ke had already left, so Ji Le had no choice but to return to the Spirit Palace, and after calling Huo Qu's illness, he went to Taibu to inquire.

Taibu is the oldest citizen of Xia Kingdom, and he is a "living history" himself, so it is right to find him for this kind of thing.

In the quiet and cold Ningshen Terrace, there are only two children except for the old lady. Huo Quzhi held the two boys at the door, leaving the space for Ji Le and Taibu.

"Old man, have you heard about Yang Ke and the Nangong clan?"

"Not long ago, Deng Jiaerlang just informed. ”

Ji Le turned his head to look at Deng Kai's younger brother who was teased by Huo Quzhi at the door, and he asked again: "Then there is such a commotion outside, you don't say anything at all?"

The old man sat on the bed, closed his eyes, and showed a touch of pain: "I'm used to it." ”

"Is it used to Yang Ke's willfulness, or is it used to the inevitable dispute between the king and the queen?"

Huo Quzhi stood at the door teasing the two little children, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but look back at the palace.

The white-haired old man couldn't help but show a wry smile: "Your Highness knows?"

"Guess a little. Nangong's personality is soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, if it weren't for dirty things like court scandals, it would definitely be something that could not be backed down. ”

"It's time again. Taibu sighed: "Whenever this happens, I always feel that we old people have another sin. ”

Ji Le frowned and continued to look at the old man.

Taibu said in a deep voice: "The Nangong clan is pregnant. ”

Pregnant?

Ji Le sensed it carefully, but did not notice it on Nangong Qingyan.

"It should be the girl's pregnancy that was covered up by magic. Otherwise, Yang Ke would not have been able to keep her until now. ”

Ji Le asked strangely: "The Nangong clan has often been in and out of the Spirit Palace these days, and Yu Yuan and I haven't found out. Is her talent for magic so high?" "Doesn't it mean that Nangong Qingyan is not proficient in the study of magic, and even Cui Jing is not as good as Cui Jing?"

Taibu said: "It's someone who helps." Nan Yushan's pregnant daughter, hasn't His Royal Highness always been curious about her origin? She is the young daughter of Di Duwei, the first leader of the ancestors, and later Mrs. Di. ”

The second wife of Yang Ke's grandfather?

Ji Le squinted: "Look at it this way, there are still a lot of things here in the old lady." Let's talk about it?"

Tai Bu smiled bitterly: "The dark side of the Xia Kingdom, the old man originally planned to bring it into the coffin together, why should His Highness ask? Regarding the matter of the Nangong Clan, you don't need to pay too much attention to it. Ultimately...... In the end, the Nangong clan will compromise. ”

Because, that's also a sensible child.

Ji Le sneered: "What? If she refuses to compromise, will she change another lady, just like Mrs. Di did back then?"

Taibu didn't speak, but silence was the best attitude.

"So, the reason why Yang Ke refused to marry Yu Yuan back then was to protect her?"

"Yes. ”

What a bad debt! Yang Ke is a scumbag!

Ji Le couldn't help but scold this bastard in his heart: You protected Yu Yuan, trapped the Nangong clan, and now you broke with Nangong, how innocent is this Nangong Qingfei?

I want to kill you!

"What do you mean, behind Nangong Qingyan, is Mrs. Di?"

"Yes. Otherwise......" Tai Bu smiled strangely: "The Nangong clan should come to the Spirit Palace first to ask for advice, just like the previous ladies." ”

However, they don't know that the fate and tragedy on their bodies are inseparable from the respected elder of the Ning God Temple.

But because Mrs. Di contacted Nangong Qingyan and let her know the truth early, she left everyone aside and prepared secretly.

"So, what kind of fate do these queens and ladies bear?" As a national spirit, I have the right to know the truth, right?"

"Your Highness......" Tai Bu said sincerely: "You have nothing to do with this matter, you are the light of the Xia Kingdom, the hope of the future, and you don't have to carry this darkness." ”

"Whether you use it or not, I have the final say. ”

But no matter how much Ji Le insisted on his opinion, Taibu refused to speak.

And scruples about Taibu's body, Ji Le is not easy to ask forcibly. In the end, he left angrily.

Huo Quzhi pinched the little nose of Deng Jiaerlang: "Come back and play with you again!" He left after Ji Le, and asked after going out: "This is leaving?

Ji Le waved the folding fan, full of confidence: "Although the old lady is reluctant to say much, I have been operating in the Spirit Palace for a few months, and it is not for nothing!"

"First of all, very few people know about the dark secrets of the royal family. Then, the secret rooms that Yu Yu and Wu Li know can be ruled out. ”

After eliminating these people in power, there are not many secret rooms in the hands of Taibu. Moreover, it is necessary to let Yang Ke know and avoid other people's eyes and ears. ”

Huo Quai: "After all, Yang Ke is the monarch and the lord of the royal court, so it is impossible to move casually in the Spirit Palace." In other words, the Chamber of Secrets must be where he can go on weekdays?"

"Yes. Ji Le left from Ningshentai and took Huo directly to Mingde Palace.

"If you want to say that the location is secret and it is in the core of the leyline, there are only the three halls of the Spirit Palace. My Yongle Hall is impossible, and the Chengtian Hall is a place that Yang Ke does not want to set foot in. Only the Mingde Hall, which enshrines the tablet of their ancestors, is the most likely. ”

The two came to the front of the Mingde Hall and looked at the cold and lonely palace.

Yongle Hall is in front of the three halls, inheriting the mantle of China. The Chengtian Hall is in the center of the three halls and worships the gods of heaven and earth. At the end of the three halls, the Mingde Hall places the tablets of the Yang family and many ancestors and martyrs.

"Remember? There is a secret passage at the head of His Highness Chengtian. Ji Le stomped his feet and pointed at Danqi: "I suspect that this place is empty." ”

With a flick of the bamboo fan, Mother Earth divinely manipulated the earth and forcibly opened a dark passage below.

"Sure enough!" Ji Le was about to go in first, but Huo Quzhi stopped him: "Wait, I'll come!"

Since this place is the most secret secret room altar of the royal family, there may be traps.

"You're waiting outside for news from me. The young man didn't say a word, and jumped off on his own initiative.

It didn't take long for him to come out again, with a helpless expression: "It's empty inside." ”

"Empty?" Ji Le didn't believe in evil, and went down and took a spin by himself. But there was nothing down there except the empty secret room.

Huo Quzhi: "Maybe it's a secret compartment?

"Mother Earth divinity has no sense. Ji Le closed his eyes and mobilized the power of the Shejiguan. The power of the earth covers the Spirit Palace, retrieving every inch of land.

Suddenly, he noticed something at the Chengtian Temple.

"How could it be the Chengtian Palace?" Ji Le was shocked. You must know that under the Danqi in front of the Chengtian Temple, there is an altar for the witch girl to worship the mother goddess of the earth.

"Why are they all building altars here, aren't they afraid of crashing?"

"What's even stranger, isn't it that Yang Ke never came to the Chengtian Palace?"

"Maybe it's done on purpose to clear up suspicions?" Ji Le hurriedly took Huo to the Chengtian Palace.

This time, it was not under the Danqi, but in the Chengtian Temple.

In the Chengtian Temple, there is a shrine dedicated to the eight main gods. Now, of course, a few statues have been called in and the shrines have been revised. But for the shrine of the two gods of heaven and earth, no one dares to touch it.

Ji Le stared at the shrine of the earth gods, silently using his divine power to hide the traces of the two of them, blocking the sight of the gods. Then, he instructed Huo Quai: "Go to the back of the shrine, there should be a passage there." ”

"Down here?" Huo Quzhi was also stunned, and he subconsciously looked at the shrines of Da Mingzun, Shenxiao Lord and others. In full view of the gods?

Moreover, is it the interior of the Chengtian Temple that Yang Ke has never set foot in?

Huo Quzhi originally thought it was in the corner of the wall near the Chengtian Temple.

"That's right, this is it. ”

Huo Quzhi went to the back of the shrine as he said, and groped to lift a floor tile.

With a whoosh, a cold arrow suddenly shot from inside.

"It's not good!" Huo Quzhi hurriedly resisted with his martial spirit: "Ji Le, this is a trap!"

"Well, I know. Ji Le stood in front of the shrine, and as the brick behind him moved, a circular pattern appeared under his feet.

"This is a chain formation, and the trap behind the shrine must be opened in order to truly open the passage. Ji Le stomped his feet, and the pattern burst out with golden light, revealing the passage below.

At the same time, the divine power of the earth sealed the Chengtian Temple, shielding the outside time and space.

Ji Le: "This time, it should be right. ”

Huo Quzhi looked at him suspiciously, as if he was worried that he would sell himself again.

"Really, it's down there, or I'll go down first. ”

"I'll do it anyway. "How dare Huo Qubing let Ji Le take risks?

He went down, and it wasn't long before he came out. Huo Quai's expression was strange, and he was even more excited and angry: "Forget it, you don't have to go down." ”

"What's wrong?" Ji Le wondered: "Is it fake again?"

"No, it's true. Huo Quzhi suddenly understood: Why Taibu was so taboo and refused to tell Ji Le the truth. The truth is sometimes still not known as well.

At the same time, Huo Quzhi also understood why Yang Ke never set foot in the Chengtian Palace.

It's not just that I hate the gods, but I don't want to touch the sad things here.

"Forget it, let's leave first, and I'll tell you later!" said Huo Quai, planning to leave with Ji Le.

Seeing this, Ji was even more reluctant to leave: "What's underground? Why can't I see it?"

"It's true that you can't see the east-" Without waiting for Huo Quzhi to finish speaking, Ji Le jumped directly down the passage.

"This boy!" the young man hurried after him, and followed the passage to the underground altar.

There was a stench of decay coming from the altar, and I saw Ji Le standing in front of the altar, observing the blue and purple offerings hanging around the altar, and his face gradually changed.

"Hmm......" Ji Le's face turned pale, he covered his mouth, and he almost threw up.

After enduring it for a long time, Ji Le tried to restrain himself, and although he was crumbling on the edge of the altar, he never lost his temper.

"Don't let you come down!" Huo Quzhi hurriedly took him out.

Back in front of the shrine, Ji Le's face was still not good, and he asked the young man in a low voice: "Dead baby?" His tone was confused and uncertain, and he hoped that Huo Quzhi could personally veto his speculation.

Huo Quzhi also had a complicated face, and nodded: "That's right." ”

In that altar under the landlord's shrine, the hanging tributes were shriveled infant corpses!

"Young...... No wonder the Yang family has not many heirs, it turns out that their children are used as tribute?"

Ji Le's face turned pale, and he grabbed the young man's arm: "Let's go, let's go down!"

"Still going?"

"Of course, this has to be clarified. I can't bear the darkness of the Xia Kingdom, then, let me see how tragic the black history of the Xia Kingdom is!"
