The prince of the highest poison, you must serve

Chapter 192 Your Mother's Bones (Part [-])
As the sun sets in the west, the sky is full of colorful clouds, and Qingshui Pavilion seems to be covered with a cloud of daisy.

What's more, the man in the courtyard had spring on his eyebrows, and his lips were like cherry blossoms. In the cold, there was a softer and more charming color than before.

Everyone in the entire courtyard was also dyed with warmth by the scenery.

The news of the prince confessing to Xie Lingqin in public and leaving with him spread throughout the streets and alleys within a stick of incense.

In the palace, the emperor didn't have any meaning to spread.

Because the day before yesterday, the small town north of Beirong was ransacked by the torrential rain, and now it has just been dealt with, and the palace is still shrouded in a gloomy and solemn atmosphere. Therefore, all the officials are even more unable to understand the emperor's mind, and it is difficult to make a judgment at the moment. .

General Xie was also shocked when he heard the news, he led his people to the gate of Xie Lingqin Courtyard, and finally left without asking a word.

Xie Lingqin was noncommittal about this.

This father has mixed feelings. He is afraid that he wants her to cling to the crown prince and restore the reputation of the General's Mansion, but he is also afraid that she will be destroyed forever and ruin the General's Mansion.

However, it's been so long...

"Listen to the sea, how about it?"

In the air, the sound of listening to the sea came secretly.

"Miss Hui, as you expected, General Xie has gone out to Ning Xiucai's place. Because Commander Ming was injured, the guards in the study room have loosened up, and his subordinates have found a breakthrough."

"it is good."

When Xie Lingqin finished speaking, she turned and entered the house.

However, in the next moment, Ting Hai had secretly followed Ting Hai into General Xie's study.

After several ups and downs, avoiding the guards and surveillance of the dark people, he finally entered General Xie's study smoothly.

"You go back to Qingshui Pavilion first, I know the number of guards here, and I can come out smoothly in a while."

"Subordinates, let's go with you, Miss."

Xie Lingqin hesitated for a moment, then raised her eyes to look at Tinghai, "Tinghai, I haven't asked. That day in Tianji Palace, you investigated the Zhang family in Fengnuancheng...do you have anything you want to tell me?"

Hearing Hai Wenyan's words, his eyes darkened, and he immediately cupped his hands, "To tell you the truth, Miss, this subordinate was once adopted by the head of the Zhang family."

Xie Lingqin's eyes jumped slightly, and his face was darkened, "I have heard about the Zhang family in Fengnuancheng. It is a big family in Fengnuancheng. It used to be stationed in the capital, but later moved away. They were slaughtered because of..."

"no."

Hearing the pain in the sea, he looked at Xie Lingqin and shook his head, "No, Miss. In the past, my subordinates suspected that it wasn't the head of the family who was insane. I slaughtered the whole house by myself. I found out the matter in the Palace of Heavenly Secrets that day. My subordinates It was only now that I became more certain that it wasn't that the family member was insane and had an attack of madness, according to the news from the Palace of Heavenly Mysteries, the Zhang family took in a woman of unknown origin that night."

Xie Lingqin narrowed her eyes, "What about the woman?"

Ting Hai shook his head, "No, afterwards, apart from the two hundred or three members of the Zhang family, there were no other women from the Zhang family."

"Did you tell the prince about this?"

"Already said."

"Then you... haven't you been with the prince since childhood?"

Xie Lingqin asked.

Ting Hai nodded, "Yes, the Zhang family is a martial artist, and the subordinates have been taught by famous teachers since they were young. Moreover, I seldom go out, and outsiders hardly know of my existence. I happened to go out to do errands for my father that day, and I did it secretly. But, when I come back..."

Listening to Haimei's pain, "After that incident, when I was secretly investigating, I happened to meet that the prince was also investigating this matter, so I was used by the prince."

Xie Lingqin nodded and thought for a while, "Then, the Palace of Heavenly Secrets didn't say who the murderer was."

"No."

Xie Lingqin thought for a while, "That's right, if you know everything, then the Palace of Heavenly Secrets can rule the world."

Xie Lingqin sighed a little, stepped forward and patted Tinghai on the shoulder, "Turn around, I'll let Minglan and Tianxing check it out, let's go to this secret passage together now, be careful."

"Yes."　
Xie Lingqin was quite familiar with this place, walked to the side of the bookcase, pressed against the protrusion, the door opened, and walked out of the dark room tunnel.

Xie Lingqin and Tinghai walked in immediately.

"呲-"

Xie Lingqin lit the torch, illuminating everything around her.

Xie Lingqin still remembered that when she came in for the first time, she met the man in black robe within a few steps. He refused to let him light the torch, so she hesitated for a moment before lighting it carefully.

However, this light is not surprising.

The walls on both sides are neatly repaired, and they are very old. At first glance, it is as Yu Wenyao said before. It is a long time ago, and it is not surprising that it existed in the previous dynasty.

"Miss, this subordinate thinks it's a bit weird here."

Ting Haimeifeng, who was walking in front of Xie Lingqin, whispered a reminder.

Xie Lingqin nodded, "I can feel it too, there seems to be a smell of decaying bones in the air, so strong..."

It is not obvious when the fire is not lit, but the fire is attracted by the fire, and the smell hits the face.

Moreover, the further you go, the richer it becomes.

Xie Lingqin shook her head, the strong smell was even stronger than the mass graves outside the city.

"Shh-"

Suddenly, there was a strange sound, and there seemed to be a sharp arrow on the dark walls on both sides.

"Be careful, ma'am."

Hearing Hai shouted loudly, pushed Xie Lingqin away and at the same time, he drew his sword to cut off the arrows flying from both sides, but just halfway through the sword swing, the arrows emerging from both sides of the wall suddenly lost their power and went soft. Lala fell to the ground.

"This……"

"Be careful, don't touch it yet."

Xie Lingqin stopped Tinghai's movement, stepped forward and brought Huoziezi closer.

"The arrow is poisonous, and..." Xie Lingqin looked at the wall with a long history, and then, took out a silk handkerchief from his sleeve to wrap the arrow, facing the crack in the wall, and put it back in place.

"Miss, this institution..."

"Well, it's either man-made, or it's too old and in disrepair, but..."

Xie Lingqin shook his head again, "Looking at everything here, it doesn't look like it will be in disrepair for a long time." Moreover, how can there be such a flaw in such a place where a mechanism can be set up.

Just by looking at the arrow, one can see how delicate and ingenious it is.

"It should be the former."

When Xie Lingqin put the other arrow back to the other wall, he put the silk handkerchief wrapped in the arrow into his sleeve, exhaled lightly, and walked forward.

What Xie Lingqin didn't tell Tinghai was that she picked up the arrow just now and looked at the traces of the arrow, as if it had been artificially put in more than once.

So, she is not the only one who has been here.

That black robe must have come in.

The prince...he must have come in too.

So, is this the reason why the prince prevented her from coming in that day?
After that, after about a stick of incense, there was no abnormality, but the smell of decay was so strong that it made people want to vomit.

until……

The road ahead gradually widened, and a thick stone gate suddenly blocked in front of the two.

"Miss, this subordinate will try with internal force."

"Wait."

Xie Lingqin raised her hand to stop her, her starry eyes stared at the heavy stone door, and suddenly turned a little pale.

This door... actually, it seemed familiar.

However, she was sure that she had never seen this stone gate before.

Moreover, looking at this door, the sudden sorrow that filled the bottom of my heart, the killing that was so cold to the lungs, and the deeply heart-wrenching nightmare were like the sudden autumn that was pulling every cell in my body.

"Miss, what's the matter with you? Are you feeling unwell? This subordinate will take you away."

"No," Xie Lingqin clasped the stone wall tightly, as if she wanted to feel more.

The heart hurts even more, the pain makes cold sweat break out all over the body, the fire seems to burn every sense organ endlessly, powerless, all over the body, it is really the feeling of being in dire straits.

"Miss……"

Ting Hai looked worried, but Xie Lingqin seemed to be in a daze, his face was dazed, his eyes were gray and dazed, staring at the stone door in front of him.

"Miss..." Hearing Hai's call again, his complexion tightened, with luck in his palm, he made a gesture to bring Xie Lingqin back to his senses with internal force, but before touching Xie Lingqin's shoulder, Xie Lingqin raised his hand to stop her.

"Try to open this door."

Ting Hai nodded in response, and immediately exercised his internal force, however, the stone door remained motionless.

Instead, Ting Hai spit out a mouthful of blood after rebounding.

"It's alright."

"Miss, don't worry, it's fine, but this stone gate is weird and cannot be controlled by external force."

Listening to Hai Jin's voice, he looked around, "But the subordinates just checked, and there is no mechanism."

"No, there are agencies." Xie Lingqin stood up and backed away suddenly.

One step, two steps, three steps, and then with fixed eyes, one flew up into the air, facing the highest point and the middle of the thick stone gate, and punched heavily with his fist.

"buckle--"

There seemed to be a soft sound in the silent air, and then, the dusty and heavy stone door finally shook little by little.

That is the only uneven place in the entire Shimen, which is difficult for ordinary people to see with the naked eye, but as long as she calms down, she can see something that ordinary people cannot see.

This is her ability in her previous life, but now, she has just discovered that it is even more powerful than in her previous life.

Surprised in Fuqu's heart, Xie Lingqin swung his sleeves, brushed away the falling stone dust, and waved away the rising dust dust.

Ting Hai has already stood in front of Xie Lingqin warily.

As the stone door was lifted up from bottom to top bit by bit, a bright beam of light spread out inside, illuminating the corners of Xie Lingqin's shoes and skirts, as if the light was overflowing for no reason.

It's just that this light is very cold, very cold, so cold that there is no warmth at all.

And accompanied by the bright light beams, there are also dense broken bones.

Tinghai and Xie Lingqin were both shocked.

The heaviness in Xie Lingqin's heart didn't disappear, on the contrary, it became more severe, like a mountain thickening in an instant, and she was almost out of breath.

And the stone gate was finally lifted to the top.

In front of him, a scene suddenly came into view.

What kind of scene is this?

What kind of life and death handover scene.

What kind of picture is it, purgatory on earth.

This is like a stone room. On the opposite side of the stone room, there is a road leading to the opposite side. It is dark and long, with no end in sight.

And in this stone chamber...

The corpses were piled up like a mountain, all relying on the direction of the stone gate just now, so when the stone gate was opened just now, the bones fell out just now.

arm--

bone--

skull--

It seems that if he is not in his prime, he is extremely young.

There are men and women.

The ruins of the battlefield were broken, and the blood flowed into the sea. It seemed that the capital was not shocked by the impact at this moment.

Sen Leng was illuminated by the icy light, as if the cold air was rushing towards his face, accompanied by a desperate breath of death.

"It seems to have been dead for more than ten years. There are at least five hundred bones. It seems that they were all poisoned to death. Before they died, their arms and legs were chopped off. There is not a single complete body... ..."

Tinghai was in a sluggish state, and after looking around, the voice sounded almost mechanically.

Xie Lingqin stepped in.

Gently, try your best to avoid those bones.

"This institution..."

Ting Hai looked at the piece standing at the door with a startled expression, "Miss, this mechanism should have been closed by manpower from the outside, destroying the mechanism, and the place you opened just now is obviously for the people inside to let the people outside A life door was deliberately left for people to come in, why..."

Ting Hai was very puzzled.

In other words, these hundreds of corpses were left in the gate, and no one rescued them...

"You finally came in."

In the quiet tunnel, suddenly, a hoarse, rough, trembling voice sounded from far and near.

Xie Lingqin stared blankly, turned around, and the Ye Mingzhu lights came out, and a person covered in black robes was approaching step by step, and then stopped a few steps away from her.

Ting Hai was about to make a move, but was stopped by Xie Lingqin.

"The last time I was in the tunnel, why didn't you let me in." Xie Lingqin asked directly.

"Will you be scared when you see so many corpses?"

The man in black didn't answer this question, but walked past Xie Lingqin and walked straight into the stone room.

Ting Hai was wary of the person coming.

The man in black walked to the side of the stone room, where the most bones were piled up, and suddenly raised his hand.

Immediately, the bones scattered in all directions.

And the bottom.

One of the bones belonging to the woman lay there intact.

It seems that, from the slender bones, one can glimpse the woman's brows that were just sharpened before she was alive.

"No wonder, she said, in the whole world, only you can open this stone door, as expected..."

The black-robed man suddenly squatted down slowly, and then saluted the corpse sincerely.

"Her? Me?" Xie Lingqin frowned.

"This corpse is the general's wife, Zong Zhengshao."

The man in black didn't answer the question, but what he said was enough to make Xie Lingqin freeze.

There was a slight echo in the spacious stone room, the voice of the man in black echoed, falling on Xie Lingqin's ears, as if it was cutting her heart.

Xie Lingqin's voice became tense, "You can fool me, my mother is now buried in the ancestral tomb of the General's Mansion."　
"The tomb is empty. General Xie never got her. They are all mysterious, wise and intelligent. Even in death, they have always been earth-shattering and heroic. There are 500 people, so young , but full of vigor, but they all died here." The man in black looked around, his eyes were as dark as the sea, as if he was paying homage to something.

Xie Lingqin's eyes darkened, "These 500 people, why did they die here?"

"Ha ha!"

The laughter of the man in black was full of lead, as if he was crying.

"However, there is no way to this stone room. Why are these people... Even if it is poison, they should have time to escape. Could it be that this stone room is a dead end..."

On the side, Tinghai looked towards the road on the other side of the stone chamber.

"or……"

Xie Lingqin walked over step by step, looking at the endless secret passage, and then, looking at the black robe, "Where does it lead?"

The man in black was looking at the corpse full of sores and catkins. Hearing the sound, he looked at Xie Lingqin as if he lost his soul.

Suddenly, they looked at each other.

Xie Lingqin's heart trembled. At this moment, this man's eyes were so sharp and fierce, but it seemed...not aimed at her.

"There..." the man in black raised his hand, his voice hoarse.

That thin hand stretched out from the black sleeve robe, it was full of hideous marks of burns, just looking at it, one could think of a miserable picture.

"It used to lead to a place unknown to the world. It has been passed down for thousands of years. According to legend, it is a pure land built by the combination of fairies and mortals who were knocked down from the long-ago heaven. , Yunxia is like a daisy, until a certain day, the flowers and plants wither, the river dries up, and the way to go disappears."

The man in black's voice became softer and softer, then he stood up and looked at Xie Lingqin, his voice was like a storm, with layers of gravel.

"Right now, it's just a dead end."

"You just said that only I can open this mechanism?"

"Yes, she said that this mechanism, in the whole world, only you can open it. When you open this mechanism, their souls can finally rest in peace."

After the black robe finished speaking, he took out a white cloth from his arms and spread it out bit by bit on the ground, and sighed with great respect for Zongzheng Shao's corpse on the ground, "Zongzheng Shao, after so many years, I finally Come in here and find you."

The man in black put the bones on the white cloth bit by bit, moving gently as if he was afraid of breaking the treasure in his hand, then got up and handed it to Xie Lingqin, "Send her to the imperial mausoleum, and talk to Yuwen Let's be buried in one place."

"Why should I trust you?"

"Because, I won't lie to you, I never, never treat you badly."

Xie Lingqin frowned, "Who the hell are you?"

"One day, you'll know."

After saying this, the man in black smiled coolly, as if he was about to leave.

"Since you know that only I can open this organ, why did you prevent me from entering last time?"

"Because you were not qualified last time, nor did you have the ability to know what will happen next."

"what's up?"

"Go to the imperial mausoleum, everything will come to fruition." The figure of the man in black gradually faded away, and his voice gradually disappeared.

"Go look for Xu Yiran, he will give you what I left in Tianji Temple."

There was another voice in my ear.

Xie Lingqin was stunned for a moment, still holding the skeleton in her arms, but she had no clue at all.

Just now, his mind went blank and he was so shocked that he didn't know to leave the man in black and ask him everything.

"Miss……"

"Close the stone door and clean it up as if we have never been here."

After a while, Xie Lingqin ordered.

Ting Hai closed his surroundings immediately, but he couldn't close the stone door, obviously he did the same thing as Xie Lingqin just now, but he was still out of place.In the end, he had no choice but to look to Xie Lingqin for help.

Xie Lingqin stared at the stone gate for a while, frowned slightly, jumped up into the air, and punched the top of the stone gate.

"boom--"

The stone door suddenly fell and closed.

The ground shook.

Xie Lingqin watched the stone door close, but her complexion became even uglier.

When she moved the mechanism just now, she obviously didn't buckle to the place where she pressed it before, and the force was different from before.

but……

It's just closed.

Xie Lingqin thought for a while, then directly shook hands into a fist, and hit the stone door hard again.

"boom--"

The stone door opened again.

Another hit.

The stone door closed.

Ting Hai was stunned, and looked at Xie Lingqin like a ghost, "Miss, this..."

"Clean up and leave immediately."

Xie Lingqin looked serious.

Ting Hai didn't dare to procrastinate any longer, tidied up the footprints of the two of them, and took Xie Lingqin out of the academy without a sound, and returned to Qingshui Pavilion.

Zihe and Tridacna were sweeping the house, when they saw Xie Lingqin coming in, their expression was somber and they were still holding a bunch of things in their arms, with a puzzled expression on their faces.

Tridacna's eyelids twitched, obviously knowing what it was.

Xie Lingqin tightened her grip on the bones, and asked Zihe to find a box, and gently put the bones into it.

One root, one root, solemn and solemn, like a holy object.

Zihe didn't ask, Tridacna didn't say anything, and Tinghai didn't say anything.

"Get off me first, I want to be quiet."

"Yes."

Ting Haiyin lowered his figure.

Zihe also retreated immediately.

There was a dead silence in the room, and Xie Lingqin's little face was sober as never before.

It seems that she has finally found a few loopholes in a huge net, and she can fly out of the net, but at this moment, she is lying on the edge of the net again, not wanting to go out, she wants to continue to crawl forward, wants to see Looking at the other end of the net, is it fate or man-made.

Xie Lingqin's gaze fell on the box containing the bones again involuntarily.

The man in black said, let her go to the imperial tomb.

What is there in the imperial tomb?

Why was she screaming so much when she saw those corpses in the secret passage just now, even if there were her mother's bones in it, but...

Why, she also felt sad and heart-piercing towards other corpses.

Moreover, this kind of emotion, even, seems to have penetrated across time and space.

It made her nearly stop breathing.

Also, who is that black-robed man?
Xie Lingqin raised her hand and stroked her eyebrows, feeling very confused.

Outside the window, the wind is clean.

The sky is getting dark little by little.

Until a figure appeared in the room, sprinkled a piece of Tsinghua, and suddenly brought warmth.

Xie Lingqin looked at him, her heart suddenly settled down.

"Yu Wenyao." Xie Lingqin got up, walked over, and plunged into Yu Wenyao's arms tightly.

"I love you."

It seemed that expressing his emotions to him, his full love, could dispel the sadness in his heart.

"I love you too, with me here." Yu Wenyao hugged Xie Lingqin tightly, with his chin resting on her forehead, with a low and gentle voice, "Xie Lingqin, you have me by your side, so you don't have to worry about everything. Don't think, don't look, don't ask."

"it is good."

"Take you somewhere."

"Ok?"

When Xie Lingqin was in a daze, Yu Wenyao had already carried Xie Lingqin out of the general's mansion.

The autumn night is cool and cold, the mist is light, and the air is damp.

Only his face fell into her eyes, awe-inspiring and handsome.
