Concubine Chongxi: Binding the Medicine Jar to the Master

Chapter 182 The End of the Imperial Mausoleum Is Too Surprised

After listening to Mo Li's order, Shining came down to the ground like lightning, made a face at Mo Li, and then followed the scent of herbs.

Mo Li followed closely behind, holding black, black and white chess pieces under his sleeves. If there was any discrepancy, he would be able to immediately protect Baili Jiuge behind him.

Shining is worthy of being a spirit beast born in Kunlun Mountains, with an extremely keen sense of smell, even if it encounters ten divergent roads, it can quickly distinguish the almost non-existent bitterness of Coptis chinensis, and walks with a few people.

Along the way, Mo Li's Huo Zhezi also saw that many forked roads were piled up with bones, and the broken clothes had been corroded by the gloomy and humid air, and moss had grown on them.

And as more and more forked roads passed, those footprints became less and less, and finally there were only three people left. This made the hearts of several people hang high, and they could only hope in their hearts that Wu Niannian was not killed.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Shining, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped, and then, as if she had touched some taboo, she quickly jumped back onto Mo Li's shoulder.

The hand under the wide sleeve was immediately raised, and the chess piece between the fingers was ready to go.Mo Li stopped Baili Jiuge with his other hand, not letting her go forward, he gave her a comforting look, his sharp eyes observed the front, and walked slowly.

Then, he saw an unexpected picture.

Unexpectedly, this place is actually the tribute hall of the imperial mausoleum.

The suddenly spacious hall slightly relieved the chill and gloom of the entire imperial tomb.

Mo Li looked around keenly, and then saw clearly the unusual things in the tribute hall - there were tables, chairs and other utensils, as well as a few beds, the pillows and bedding on the beds were clean , and even on a bedside table, there was a half cup of unfinished tea, still smoking.

The breath of living people lingered in the tribute hall. Obviously, several people lived here, and they just left.Looking at the unpacked things and unfinished tea, Mo Li felt that those people must have left in a hurry.

Since there was no danger, he patted Shining, and then walked back to meet the trotting Baili Jiuge.

She looked at Mo Li worriedly, but heard him say softly: "You rushed here, if something unexpected happened, it would be bad. If there is such a situation again, you just wait for me in a safe place. "

Baili Jiuge felt warm in her heart, as if lighting a charcoal brazier, she smiled and said: "That's not okay, I am also Heifeng, one of the seven places in Huagu, I said earlier that I would advance and retreat with you, even if you If you insist on pampering me and protecting me under your wings, I will do my best to stand side by side with you, this is my style, isn't it?"

Mo Li smiled slightly, sincerely liking Baili Jiuge's resolute and willful demeanor.

He looked around again, and said to Shining: "Continue to lead the way. If my guess is correct, the people who live here are most likely related to..." As for this, he didn't say any more.

Yin Haochen's heart was tightened, and he frowned and asked, "What's the meaning of this, Mr. Zhou?"

"It's nothing."

Mo Li whispered softly, walked slowly with Shining, and replied: "I can't make a conclusion yet, but I just found some things in the bottom, and I will confirm it later, and it will not be too late."

"Mo Li, wait for me!"

Baili Jiuge trotted to catch up, insisting on keeping pace with Mo Li. At this moment, the little girl also picked up a bunch of feathers in her hand, and smiled at Mo Li with a tacit understanding.

Under the leadership of Shining, the three of them continued on their way.

This majestic imperial mausoleum is huge in scale. I don't know how many forks there are, and I can't tell where I am in the imperial mausoleum at this moment. I can only follow behind Shining, keeping [-] points of vigilance, listening to the sound of the footsteps. And the sound of water drops echoed in the nine tunes and ten rings.

After about half an hour, Shining stopped, and there was no way ahead.

I saw Shining standing up on his hind legs, clawing at the bluestone wall in front of him with his two paws, turning his head to Mo Li and shouting: "Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow!"

Mo Li understood what Shining meant, "Is there a passage on the wall?"

"Aww!" Shining nodded.

Baili Jiuge hurriedly said: "Mo Li, I'll push and see." He was about to do it.

Mo Li stopped her, "I'll do it."

He gently put down Baili Jiuge's arm, slowly approached the wall, stretched out his hand and pushed against the wall.

Baili Jiuge's heart was raised at this moment, fearing that some mechanism would activate, she stared at Mo Li for a moment, ready to pounce on him.

But unexpectedly, the wall was pushed away by Mo Li, and nothing happened.And Mo Li smiled elegantly, lifted the bottom of his robe, and stepped out.

"Ink dripping?!" Baili Jiuge shouted.

"Don't be afraid, I'll pull you up here."

She quickly grabbed Mo Li's hand, which was still so cold, with rough calluses between the familiar lines and veins. At this moment, she held her tender and smooth hand tightly, and with just the right amount of strength, she pulled Baili Jiuge up .

At this moment, Baili Jiuge was stunned by what he saw, and forgot to care about Yin Haochen behind him. She didn't come back to herself until he came to her side.

"Are we... coming out?"

It's unbelievable, I didn't expect to follow the smell of medicine on Wu Niannian's body, to the end, it turned out to be this forest and starry sky.

This shocked Baili Jiuge, but was also extremely puzzled.How terrifying this huge maze is, she has already experienced it, and she really can't believe that Wu Niannian can walk out.

Didn't the mastermind behind the kidnapping want to trap them all in the mausoleum?In this way, the mastermind behind the scenes... miscalculated?

Baili Jiuge only felt confusing, but at this moment, there seemed to be some voice flowing in his ears.

She hastily mobilized her internal energy, pricked up her ears to listen, and heard that it wasn't a person's voice, it was coming from over there!

So he ran over quickly.

"Jiu Ge!" The moment she left, Mo Li's figure flew like a fly, catching up with Baili Jiu Ge, and she was inseparable from her.

Yin Haochen followed immediately.

As the three of them approached, the voices of conversation became more and more obvious in the woods.Seven or eight people could be vaguely seen sitting on the ground, forming a circle, and a slender figure was surrounded in the middle.

At this moment, the moonlight just came out from behind the thick clouds, and the silver light fell on the face of the man in the middle. Mo Li's eyes were startled for a moment, Baili Jiuge opened his mouth wide in shock, and Yin Haochen froze all over. up.

That slender figure was actually Wu Niannian, at this moment she was sitting quietly among the crowd, with a bright and peaceful smile on her lips.The moonlight was melancholy, illuminating her delicate porcelain skin as white as snow, and the mottled tree shadows cast a faint light and shadow on her pale water-colored clothes.When those eyes moistened with water vapor flowed, it seemed as if there were clouds from the sky sweeping down warmly...

At this moment, Yin Haochen was insane.

Such a beautiful and otherworldly person, is... Nian Nian?
During a moment of confusion, I also heard those sitting around talking happily.

"I have lived for 70 years, but I have never seen such a strange woman as my wife who can lead us out of the mausoleum."

"That's right, the imperial tomb has trapped us for almost 30 years. During this period, no matter whether it was a person who entered by mistake or a robber who came to the tomb, almost no one was able to find a way out alive. Occasionally, a few lucky people found us , but can only stay with us in the tribute hall for 30 years."

"Oh, isn't it? Like my famous Tomb Raider King, he was reduced to eating and drinking with you, and he couldn't get out of this mausoleum. Today he finally sees the light of day again!"

"I said madam, why do you choose the right road every time you come to a fork in the road? Could it be that you are a fairy sent by the heavens to rescue us?! Look at your unearthly appearance... Fairy! You must be a fairy !"

Wu Niannian smiled embarrassedly, her pure voice was like the wind in the bamboo forest, "Niannian is not a fairy, Niannian is just an ordinary woman."

People repeatedly praised: "Madam is really our reborn parents, great kindness and great virtue cannot be repaid forever, please accept our worship first!" Then they all changed into kneeling postures and kowtowed to Wu Niannian.

Wu Niannian hurried to help the nearest person, "Don't ask Niannian, Niannian really didn't do anything."

But this person just refused to get up, so Wu Niannian had no choice but to help the other person, just looking at one and losing sight of another, with a troubled look on his face.

At this moment, Yin Haochen called out to her: "Nian Nian."

This voice made Wu Niannian froze, and she looked over in surprise, "My lord?" The next moment, crystal beads fell from his eyes like a broken glass bottle.

Seeing her cry like this, Yin Haochen always felt some pity in his heart, he quickly walked over, stretched out his hand to pull Wu Niannian over, and looked at her incredulously.

Wu Niannian sobbed and murmured: "My lord, it's really you... Isn't Niannian dreaming?"

Those clear tears flowed like a spring, as if they could flow to Yin Haochen's heart in no time, arousing a throbbing.He was a little at a loss, so he clasped Wu Niannian's shoulders and tried to coax her: "Don't cry, don't cry..."

But Wu Niannian's tears still couldn't stop, and Yin Haochen was even more at a loss, thinking that he, who is not afraid of swords and swords, has nothing to do with women's tears.

Suddenly, a white square handkerchief flew over, Yin Haochen held it subconsciously, and met Shang Moli's clear and shallow eyes.

Yin Haochen remained silent, picked up the square handkerchief, wiped Wu Niannian's eyes, coaxing: "Stop crying, my king is here."

Wu Niannian also raised her hand, wanting to wipe away her tears, "My lord, I'm sorry, Niannian doesn't want to cry, and I'm causing trouble to my lord again."

"You...don't say that." Yin Haochen's eyes were a little dark.

But at this moment, those kneeling on the ground got up one after another, looking at Yin Haochen in surprise.

An old man asked, "Are you the prince?" He seemed to be in disbelief and said, "When will it be the man's turn to be the prince of Heluo? Is it because we haven't left the mausoleum for 30 years, and what happened outside? Has it changed?"

Yin Haochen was slightly taken aback.

Wu Niannian explained: "Old man, you have misunderstood. We are from Dashang. He is the king of Dashang and Niannian's husband."

"It's like this..." Those old people looked at each other, and then they all sighed again, full of depression. After 30 years of isolation from the world, do they know who the king of the big business is?
Baili Jiuge also accumulated a lot of questions at the moment. Seeing that Wu Niannian had calmed down, he strode over and looked at the group of people. Except for one of them, it should be the guard who escorted Wu Niannian into the imperial mausoleum. All of them are old people, and all of them are men.

Baili Jiuge cupped his hands and said: "Old men, we found it after the smell of herbs on Princess Chen's body. What's going on with all this? Why did you stay in the mausoleum of Emperor Heluo for 30 years?" ? Can you tell me."

"Alas..." These old people sighed one after another, unable to bear to speak.

Mo Li came slowly, with a halo of wisdom floating in the bottom of his eyes, covered by a layer of light moonlight.He said: "Look at the clothes and clothes of the seniors. If I guess correctly, you must be the husbands of the first emperor of Heluo when he was in power."

The old people were all startled, nodded in acknowledgment, and then explained the whole story.

They are indeed the husbands of the first emperor of Heluo.

Before the late emperor passed away, he issued an imperial decree and ordered seven or eight of them to enter the mausoleum, and from then on they guarded the spirit of the late emperor and kept the festival until the end of this life.

Only a few people in Heluo knew about this matter, and it was announced that these imperial husbands died of illness.

The imperial husbands said that since they came to the tribute hall, the outside world will transport food and clothing from a narrow organ to the tribute hall every day, and the garbage in the hall can also be transported out.

They stayed in this labyrinth every day, recited the "Rebirth Mantra" for the late emperor, and drew strokes on the wall every day. They had no freedom like this, until the wall was covered with black ink. Ink marks.

It's been 30 years... Now they finally see the light of day again, but the outside world has long been different, and time has carved their faces into such an old and difficult to distinguish situation.Even though he was excited, he still didn't know what to do.

Baili Jiuge felt uncomfortable, so she could only comfort them with a smile: "Anyway, it's good to be able to come out. From now on, you will be free, and you can change your life and start your life again. It's just..." She thought of What, "It's just that when you come out, the person who was responsible for delivering food and clothing to you before knows it? Will you be chased back?"

The old people exchanged glances, thinking that what Baili Jiuge said was very true, so they quickly thanked Wu Niannian, and hurriedly seized the time of the night, trying to escape from here, and disappeared from sight.

And after they left in a hurry, there was only one guard left at the gate of the mausoleum.

He said to Baili Jiuge: "Before, someone came to the entrance of the mausoleum with the iron coupon of the book of pills, and ordered us guards to escort this... Uh, Princess Chen, to the tribute hall. Killed the young and old in our family... But we guards have never walked through the maze of the mausoleum. We argued with each other along the way. Some people wanted to go another way, but we were killed by the authorities as soon as we entered. Finally I am the only one who has been following Princess Chen, not to mention that Princess Chen brought all the ex-husbands out of the tribute hall."

The more the guard said, the more he couldn't believe it, and asked Wu Niannian excitedly: "Princess Chen, why did you choose every fork in the right road? I think you must be not a mortal!"

"I... Nian Nian is really just lucky..."

Baili Jiuge was also extremely puzzled.Just now when they came out from the tribute hall all the way, they encountered no less than thirty forks in the road, and some even had ten forks in the road.How could it be possible to get out of the mausoleum by luck?This is impossible!
He couldn't help but look at Wu Niannian, feeling for the first time that she was so intriguing.

But Wu Niannian became dizzy again at this time, his lips parted weakly, and suddenly he fell down weakly.

Yin Haochen hugged her quickly, touched her forehead, and gasped.

She is still in high fever!
He hurriedly wrapped the snow-white fox fur on Wu Niannian's shoulders, and blamed himself: "I thought you were not in good health, so I brought you a fox fur, but I forgot to put it on for you just now..." He He hugged Wu Niannian horizontally and coaxed: "We'll go back right away."

At this moment, the sound of horseshoes came from a distance. In this quiet night, only crows crowed, it was as clear and crisp as pearls hitting the ice, mixed with the sound of the carriage rolling over the ground.

In the misty night, a spacious carriage approached, and the driver was actually Guan Shilang!

With a bare hand like a moon, he raised the curtain of the car, and Yin Liehuo leaned out, calling softly: "Hurry up and get in the car."

"Fire?!" Baili Jiuge was pleasantly surprised, and quickly pulled Mo Li into the car with Yin Haochen and the guard at the mausoleum gate.

Then, I heard someone coming through the wind and landing beside Guan Shilang with a soft sound.Yufeng is back.

"His Royal Highness." Yu Feng said in a low voice: "This subordinate followed the secret sentry and found out the main messenger, who is the second daughter of the emperor, Luo Diewu."

is her!

Everyone's eyes sank.

And the guard also remembered something, and suddenly exclaimed: "I remembered, the person who insisted on the iron coupon of the alchemy book to give us orders today did accidentally reveal the waist card of the empress's house!"

Yufeng continued: "The second daughter of the emperor did not know the identities of Prince Chen and Concubine Chen, she just thought they were friends of Concubine Chen, so she kidnapped Concubine Chen, intending to trap His Royal Highness and Concubine Chen in the mausoleum, and find them forever." No way out."

In other words, the eyes of Mo Li and Yin Liehuo flashed a strange light at the same time.

The two of them knew very well that Luo Diewu took advantage of Mo Li's danger that night and tried to set fire to the courtyard, but failed.Luo Diewu failed once, so she came again for the second time, as if she was afraid that Mo Li would help Yin Liehuo become more powerful, so she wanted to get rid of Mo Li and Baili Jiuge first.

Sure enough, insidious!

It's a pity that Luo Diewu has countless calculations, but Wu Niannian can't successfully get out of the maze mausoleum...

Thinking of this, the eyes of several people fell on Wu Niannian's face again.I saw a sick blur in her eyes, and Yin Haochen was holding her frail body in his arms.

She murmured: "The second daughter of the emperor captured Niannian. While she was torturing me, Niannian stole one of her armor...it can be used as evidence..."

Hearing this, a wave of shock flashed across Yin Haochen's face.He asked deeply: "Nian Nian, you said the second daughter of the emperor tortured you?"

"I... No, I don't." Wu Niannian quickly changed his words, but because of a serious fever, he gasped for breath before he could finish speaking.

Yin Haochen ordered: "You rest first." Then he buried Wu Niannian's head on his chest, and changed her position to make her more comfortable.
