Chapter 53: The Underground Palace
In front of him is a dilapidated ancestral hall, dilapidated and decadent.
Passing through the stone chamber, the backyard was deep and desolate, the grass and trees were half a person high, and the smell of decay came to the face.
Linglong turned around and looked at Wuchen with some vigilance, and asked Feng Qian suspiciously, "Why didn't the head catcher come?" ”
Feng Qian smiled and said nothing, forgot to fold his hands, lowered his eyebrows slightly, and said: "Amitabha, Si Zhutou and Lord Zhizhou went to the General Military Mansion to see Concubine Chen, and the little monk was curious about the relics, so he came with Feng Zhutou." ”
Linglong nodded and sighed, "Is Concubine Chen also here?" ”
Feng tilted her head, and suddenly, her eyes shot sharply, but seeing that there was a line of broken marks in the grass and trees, she squatted down, looked at the broken grass and trees were still fresh, and said in horror: "Look, someone must have been here before, and it was just recently." ”
Linglong became nervous and said, "Let's go and have a look." ”
Feng poured his dark eyes and said in a deep voice: "No, there is a smell of blood here. ”
The three of them were startled, looking for the smell and leaving, pushing open the door of the stone room, and saw dozens of corpses, Linglong hid behind Forget Chen, only to see that the corpses were all dressed as black-clothed secret guards, Feng leaned down and checked the corpses, and found that they were killed by a very thin and narrow sword.
"It's a laughing day."
"How did he come here?" Linglong was a little surprised, and still couldn't help but tremble when she thought of him.
Feng tilted his head and said, "They have been dead for two days. ”
Forget Chen looked at the dead corpses on the ground, sighed lightly, and folded his hands. A long Buddha horn said, "Amitabha! ”
The three of them walked out and walked with the footprints sunken next to the long grass, but saw that the footprints disappeared next to a dry well, Linglong looked back at Feng Qian and said: "The footprints disappeared here, but the entrance to this underground palace is also here." ”
"Could it be that Chenlong wants to take the relics away?" Forget Chen suddenly guessed.
Linglong shook his head and said: "This palace is built to be hidden, just to worship it, and the people who know this location are dead, I am the only one, and he did everything possible to kill me, just to prevent the address of this palace from being leaked." ”
Feng Tianxin narrowed her eyes and asked her suspiciously: "Didn't you say that you were saved by a mysterious person, didn't he also know?" ”
Linglong shook her head, a little confused, Feng Qian looked at the dark dry well, and muttered, "Just go down and see." ”
She was the first to go down the dry well, and there was a very thick layer of hay at the bottom, and she stepped on it, and she looked up and shouted to Forgotten Dust, "Come down." ”
After Linglong and Forget the dust came down, Feng poured his heart into a fire and observed, the bottom of the dry well was extremely spacious, like a dark room, Linglong walked directly to a corner, lay down the dry branches and hay covered above, revealing a secret door out, she pushed hard, and the secret door slowly opened.
"Someone must have been here, you see the traces of this secret door being pushed again."
After that, she raised her legs and walked in, Feng Qian opened her mouth to call her, but saw that she had already walked a long way, she glanced at each other with Wangchen, hurriedly picked up a dry wood, and caught up with Linglong.
Feng tore off the corner of the tail of his coat and wrapped it in dry firewood, turning it into a temporary torch. The three of them turned around in the hole for a long time but walked a dead end, Feng poured his heart to push the earth, but found a lot of fallen dirt under his feet, frowned and said, "Is there really someone who went in before us?" ”
Linglong went down the dry well and kept her eyebrows lowered, and suddenly, she raised her eyes and looked at Feng Qian and said, "Didn't Feng Zhutou always wonder why I saw the witch singing in the underground palace, the answer is here." ”
After that, in the surprise of the two, they knocked vigorously on the cave wall three times, and then the earthen wall in front of them began to fall, and with a bang, a door opened in front of them, and then a wider space appeared.
Linglong's voice was a little distant: "This is the real entrance." ”
The three of them went inside, and found that the place was extremely large, and the walls were actually made of stones, and the walls were not cyan, but colorful murals.
Wangchen looked at the murals and said in a deep voice: "Buddhism has said that there are temple murals since ancient times, the supernatural power changes, the five fun life and death wheels, the story of Bunsen, the hell change, etc., are all to warn the world, but the murals on this wall, the little monk is lonely and unheard, and has never seen it." ”
Feng Qianxin was completely stunned at this time, unable to believe his eyes, because this colorful mural was exactly what he saw on the official road that day.
The night like heavy ink, thunder and thunder, wind and clouds, under the sky is a red and undulating red fire, in the fire is a beautiful face, that day is too far away, can not see clearly, but at this time it can be seen clearly, the woman in this painting has a smile on her expression, closed her eyes and sang softly, Feng Qianxin seems to be able to remember the ethereal song of that night, she is quietly waiting for death in the fire.
Such a strange and unbelievable scene was painted vividly, as if she was about to come out of the painting.
I lifted my legs and walked towards the mural, feeling that everything in the painting was like a sharp sword inserted into her heart, so that she could not breathe, as if the woman in the painting did not come out, but she walked into the painting, watching her being swallowed up by the raging fire little by little, with a smile on her face.
"Love." Seeing that her face was different, Forget Chen pulled her arm, but she didn't seem to hear it, shook off his hand, she saw the fire spread all over the woman's body, and at this time she suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes were full of hatred, and the corners of her eyes were full of blood and tears!
Feng poured her heart into pain, and she saw the reluctance in the woman's eyes, as if she had torn something off her.
With a bang, the torch fell to the ground, and Feng Qian couldn't breathe, as if a pair of invisible big hands were tightening her neck, tightening more and more, and her chest rose and fell violently.
Suddenly, she felt herself fall into an embrace, the faint Zen fragrance on the tip of her nose made her sober, she looked back and saw Wuchen's anxious eyes, frowned, "What's wrong?" ”
Forget Chen breathed a sigh of relief, let go of her gently, and said, "You are stunned, it's just a mural." ”
Feng tilted her forehead, calmed down the churning qi and blood, and then raised her eyes to see that the woman was still singing in the fire with her eyes closed, and did not open her eyes.
"Is she the shrine maiden who was burned to death?"
Linglong nodded: "The palace is inside." ”
After saying that, she walked to the other end of the dark room, and Feng Qianxin looked at the mural twice, and it seemed that she had really opened her eyes, leaving blood and tears.
"Let's go." Forget Chen took her hand, Feng was stunned, feeling his warm palm confused again, and let him lead her away.
The torch was extinguished, and the surroundings suddenly became pitch black, and the two walked side by side, Linglong's footsteps were in front, and suddenly the footsteps stopped in front of them, and Wangchen asked, "Linglong donor, what's wrong?" ”
"That's it ahead, watch out for the stone steps, this is the passage to the underground palace." Linglong's faint voice came.
The three of them walked down the stone steps for a long time, and Feng even felt that what they were going to was not an underground palace, but a hell of the ten directions.
Finally, they walked down the last stone staircase, and Linglong pushed open an iron door, and suddenly it opened up, and the flickering candles on the wall lamps lit up the palace.
Feng leaned his heart into the palace, and couldn't help but be shocked again, not that the palace was magnificent, but that there was a raised platform in the center of the palace, which was a tall and majestic altar paved with black obsidian, and there was a coffin hewn out of a huge stone on the altar, and there were two people next to the coffin looking at them.
The former was incredulous and mixed with some trepidation, while the latter had a murderous aura in his eyes.
"It's you." Laughing Tianyin said compassionately, the black gauze woman next to her limped behind Snatching Laughing Tian and hid her body.
"How did you end up here?" Before Feng Qianxin could ask, Linglong asked first.
"That's my business."
"Who's the woman behind you?" Linglong asked again.
The black-gauze woman behind her curled up behind Duoxiaotian and seemed to be full of fear of Linglong, Duoxiaotian glanced at the woman behind her and said, "It's none of your business, if you know each other, you'd better leave immediately, otherwise, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people." ”
"The woman behind you told you the address of the palace." Feng said categorically.
The woman behind her looked at Feng Tianxin and was slightly stunned, thought about it and nodded slowly, then walked out from behind the laughing sky and said softly: "I've been trapped here for ten years. ”
"What?" Feng leaned his heart at Linglong, who pursed his lips on the side, and said, "Hasn't this place only been built for two years?" ”
The black gauze woman was startled, looked at Linglong, and said suspiciously: "Did you say that?" ”
Linglong stared at her and didn't answer, the woman frowned and said, "It's been ten years since Chenlong built here, but the ear room is newly built, and the mural was painted two years ago, and I was released from here some time ago." She paused, looked at Linglong, who was silent, and asked curiously: "Why does the girl make me feel inexplicably familiar, have we met before?" ”
Linglong laughed: "You said that you have been trapped for ten years, how have you seen me?" ”
The woman in black gauze was silent.
Feng leaned into the heart and glanced at Linglong, suppressed the doubt in his heart, and said to the black gauze woman: "Who are you, why did Chenlong trap you here." ”
The woman in black gauze pursed her lips and hesitated for a long time: "I can't tell you." ”
Feng took a step forward and pulled out the narrow sword with a laughing sound, she had to stop, looked at her and asked, "Did you put the wooden box at my door?" ”
The woman in the black gauze raised her eyes, thought for a while, and said, "You mean the divination box, it wasn't made by me." ”
"You didn't do it, why did you follow me that day, and why did the woman in red kill you?"
"I just watched you come out of the old man and wanted to follow you." The woman in the black gauze said calmly.
Feng Qian stared at her tightly, and said in a dumb voice, "Who are you?" ”
She lowered her head and pursed her lips silently, as if she was thinking, and after a while, her dark eyes gradually condensed, and she gently opened her lips and said, "My name is Linglong." ”
