Since meeting the black-robed man that day, Ji Erlan and his party have never met the assassin again, and when they arrived at Yandang Mountain, it was ten in the morning. The sky was pale and the sky was just bright. But looking at the wooded Yandang Mountain, there are still only vague outlines of peaks.

It stands to reason that when the king came here to pick up the eldest princess of Hongyang, the other party should have asked people to wait at the foot of the mountain to greet her, but after everyone arrived here, they found that everything was as calm as an ancient well and a deep pool, and it was difficult for anything to make it turbulent for half a minute, as if the eldest princess of Hongyang didn't know that someone was coming.

Everyone looked at each other for a while, and they all looked at Yang Zhen. But he had expected it, and he didn't look surprised. said: "Tianshui Palace is at the top of the mountain, as long as you go up, you can reach it." ”

Ji Erlan turned around and looked at it, and said: "Everyone has injuries large and small, if you relax for a while, it will be difficult to lift your spirits, it is better to go to the destination in one go." Tianshui Palace is in front of you, and everyone is holding on. ”

Everyone had no opinion, and they lit torches to light the way up the mountain in front of them. Yuexi carefully helped Twilight to walk forward, muttering: "It's really strange, even at night, it's sweaty outside, and it's so hot that I can't get out of the stream, but it's still a little cold inside." ”

Perhaps because the trees are unusually tall and prosperous, the sunlight can only penetrate a few points of light sporadically during the day, and it is even colder at night, so the Yandang Mountain in midsummer not only has no feeling of stuffiness, but everyone walks on the mountain path, there is a trace of seepage. Yang Zhen's tone was casual, but there seemed to be something in his words, and he said, "Maybe...... It's because the owner of this place is cold in his heart. ”

Ji Erlan glanced at him and couldn't help but be more curious about this Hongyang princess. Being so fierce and desperate in the royal family is also rare. "Even the cold that the sun can't dispel, or the eldest princess of Hongyang doesn't allow any more light and warmth to shine into her heart."

Yuexi didn't understand what the two of them meant, Gu Zi said her own: "It is said that the scenery of Yandang Mountain is beautiful, and it is pleasant everywhere, I think, the person who said this must not have trekked here late at night...... "She held Duchun's arm tightly, and said: "Fortunately, there are birds flying in the mountains and forests from time to time, which can add a little vitality to the tranquility of this place, otherwise, if you are not hacked to death by a knife, you will be scared to death here...... Twilight Spring, look over there, it looks like a grave bag? ”

Twilight Chun was told by her, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and the dense branches and leaves around him couldn't even blow the wind, so they could only get in the wisps, and they had already dispersed before they hit his face. "You...... Don't talk about these haves and don'ts! ”

Yuexi looked at her and whispered in her ear: "The trees in this place are so tall and luxuriant, it is hard to guarantee that there are many dead people buried in the mountains, and after decay, they become tree fertilizer, right?" ”

Ji Erlan glanced at Yuexi funny, knowing that she was deliberately scaring Duchun, and said with a smile: "Duchun doesn't need to be afraid, people are afraid of ghosts for three points, ghosts are afraid of people for seven points, and they are even more afraid of fierce people." We have a lot of blood on us, and the evil spirits must also be avoided. ”

Twilight couldn't help but shudder when she heard it, and couldn't cry or laugh: "The girl's words make people even more scared when they hear it......"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard this, and the atmosphere around them was not so solemn. Only Yuechen looked carefully at the place where Yuexi pointed and said, "It seems to be ...... What a grave! ”

Hearing this, Yang Zhen and Ji Erlan couldn't help but stand and look there. They have practiced martial arts all year round, and their eyesight is excellent, and the sky has gradually brightened, which is enough for everyone to see the tomb piled high in the woods. Yang said: "There are no weeds around, and there are tributes in front of the tombstones, as if people often come." ”

Yandang Mountain is the place where the royal princess cultivates, and it is impossible for others to be allowed to build tombs here. Therefore, the owner of this tomb should be what they are looking for, Tang Xingwu's wife, the tomb of the Sun family.

Before the Sun family came out of the pavilion, he was often with the eldest princess of Hongyang, and the two were very good. When Sun died, he left his last words, to return to Yandang Mountain and accompany the eldest princess of Hongyang. The eldest princess of Hongyang was also very sad when she heard about it, so she asked Tang Xingwu to bury the Sun family here.

"Let's take a look." Ji Erlan jumped down the bluestone steps one step ahead of the others, and Yang Zhen followed closely behind her, ordering everyone to wait in place.

"Looks right...... It's just that you really think Tang Xingwu will hide the things he collected in his wife's tomb? Yang Zheng looked at the inscription engraved on the tombstone and frowned.

Ji Erlan shook his head: "Digging people's graves hurts yin morality, and being dug up will also damage the luck of the deceased. I don't think Tang Xingwu would do this, but, judging from all the actions of Tang Xingwu before the Tang family was questioned, the most likely place is here. ”

Yang Zhen also agreed when he heard this, but the two of them didn't know where to start for a while.

This tomb has been here for more than ten years, and even if people often come to sweep the tomb and worship, you can still see the traces of time. Ji Erlan walked to the Sun family's tomb and knelt down, and said: "The Tang family has been wronged for decades, and Lord Tang was ordered by the emperor to investigate the old case of the Su family, but because of this, he was imprisoned and his family was affected. Now, we want to overturn the case for the Su family and the Tang family. Mrs. Tang, if you have a spirit in heaven, please guide me...... If there is any offense, please ask Mrs. Tang to forgive me. ”

As he spoke, Ji Erlan kowtowed three times, and Yang Wei stood behind Ji Erlan and bowed three times.

Ji Erlan sighed, got up and looked at Yang Zheng, and said, "Let's take a look around." ”

The two men looked around the grave with torches, but there was nothing but a tombstone standing. Yang Zhen said: "If it were you, how would you prompt people to look for those things?" ”

Ji Erlan's eyes lit up, and he saw Yang Zhen pointing to the word "wife" on Sun's tombstone, and said, "Look, it's the same method he used before." ”

The last stroke of the word "wife" pauses at the tip, and it looks like it has been going on for a long time, and the surface of the stele has become mottled in the wind and rain. Ji Erlan groped his way through the place where he had stopped. I felt a very fine edge on the side of the tombstone. "...... here"

Yang Zhen leaned over to the place she pointed out, and carefully touched the surroundings again. "It's a long protrusion that should be able to open." "If you don't know the mystery, even if someone sees it, they will only think that the tombstone is not polished.

"However, this stone is embedded in the tombstone, and it is tightly sealed, how can it be taken out?" Ji Erlan tapped lightly, and the stone pattern did not move.

Yang Zhen shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be taken out, in that case, it will definitely damage the tombstone." ”

"Is there any opportunity?" Ji Erlan tapped lightly on the tombstone, and after listening carefully, he was surprised: "Although it is not obvious, there is indeed a part of it that is empty. ”

The two of them tapped the entire tombstone carefully, and confirmed that the hollow area was not large, and it seemed that the width of the upper and lower parts was about the same as a stone. Yang Zhen suddenly said, "I know." Under Ji Erlan's puzzled gaze, he raised two fingers and slammed them towards the bottom of the stone.

The stone shuddered and made a rough grinding sound, and actually spun around, revealing the hollow inside. Fang Cai Ji Erlan obviously pushed through that place hard, and the stone didn't move at all, but she didn't have time to surprise Yang Zheng's finger power, and let out a low voice: "Look inside!" ”

Yang Zhen's brows frowned subconsciously, he reached out and took out the things wrapped in oil paper, opened it and took a cursory look, and couldn't help but say, "Sure enough, ......"

Ji Erlan took a deep breath and said, "If we find this, we won't come in vain." ”

The two restored Sun's tombstone to its original state and returned the same way, the torch held in Ji Erlan's hand burned for a long time, and suddenly it was extinguished, Ji Erlan shook his head, and his feet were tripped by the curled vines on the ground.

"Be careful!"

Ji Erlan only felt that her waist was light, and the whole person was hugged by Yang Wei behind her, and the warm snort blew to her ears, making her heart numb and frozen in Yang Zhen's arms.

Time seemed to freeze in the silence around them, the breathing of the two became light and stagnant, the warmth between the shoulders and the chest was particularly clear, Ji Erlan couldn't suppress the heartbeat of his heart like a drum, and wanted to push his arm away. Yang Zhen grabbed her shoulder from behind with his other hand, and said in her ear: "You go to Yasukuni to wait for me, don't go back to Da'an." ”

Ji Erlan was stunned and turned her face to look at him. Yang Zhen's face was indistinguishable in the gray dense forest, but the seriousness and solemnity in that gaze shone directly into her heart. She only felt that the small waves in her heart gradually widened, and finally turned into a storm and waves, and the waves were turbulent.

Yang Zheng said: "When the wind and rain come, I will definitely deal with it head-on, but you don't have to be involved." Take this opportunity to leave Da'an, and I will have someone escort you all the way, and when you arrive in Yasukuni, someone will answer you. And what you have to do, I will do it for you. ”

His breath permeated the corners of Ji Erlan's eyes, earlobes, and hair, and the wisps of warmth made her like snow under the sun, slowly melting until she became invisible. She suppressed her slight trembling, looked at his gaze, equally serious and dignified, and said: "Whether it's your business or my own business, I can't let it go like this, I must watch it end with my own eyes to feel at ease." ”

Yang Zhen's arms tightened involuntarily, this was the first time that Ji Erlan said what he had to do for him. "The ...... I'm facing then"

"No matter what you're up against, whatever I'm up against, we're going to help each other, aren't we?" Ji Erlan interrupted his persuasion and looked at him and spoke slowly. "We won't lose."

When Yang Wei heard her words, his eyes suddenly gave birth to thousands of brilliance, and those shining glows were incomparable to even the stars in the sky. Ji Erlan's cheeks were hot for a while, and he broke free from his embrace and said, "Let's go back, they should be in a hurry." ”

Yang Zhen smiled on his lips and walked back behind her. Yuexi was holding a torch to them, and said, "Why has the girl been gone for so long?" When the slave saw that your torch was extinguished, she hurried over to take a look. ”
