The heroine Jiangshan

Chapter 202 Is There Really a Treasure Map?

The search process was tortuous and long, but the key... was indeed a very ordinary brass key.

I don't know what method Liang Lianqing used to preserve this key, which has been lying under the water for several years. After a simple wipe, the water stains faded away, and it is no different from those commonly used keys.

Fortunately, a few of them lack romantic cells. They only pursue the practical value of the key, and never have any expectations for the appearance of the key.

Even though he really wanted to know what Lianqing left for his daughter, Nie Shen went outside silently, and Ye Shenyan and Ji Jianing also retreated consciously.

This is the private time of Yun Ruochen's mother and daughter.

Yun Ruochen did not stop everyone from leaving, her mind was all on the box and the key.Holding the key and pointing it at the brass lock of the box, her hands trembled slightly.

People say that being close to the hometown is more timid, she thinks that the feelings should be connected.She has searched hard for so long, but the closer she gets to the truth, the more timid she becomes.

Many years ago, not long after she opened her eyes in this world, she discovered that her mother, who died young, was definitely an unborn genius among the odd families.

The Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Formation in the Bamboo Forest, the collection of books in the Wangxing Building, and the invisible formation of mountains, rocks, waters and trees to this night, all show Liang Lianqing's outstanding talent and strength in magic arts.

What secrets will lie in this box that she solemnly handed down, but mysteriously hides the key?

"Slightly", the key was inserted into the copper lock.

Yun Ruochen closed his eyes, twisted his fingers slightly to the right.Unexpectedly, the lock didn't move at all, her heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly turned to the left.

"Bah."

The subtle noise stimulated her eardrum like a needle tip, Yun Ruochen mustered up the courage to open her eyes, and found that the copper lock was really unlocked!
The style of the copper lock looks complicated, but it only takes a moment to open it.Mother, what kind of tricks are you doing with this lock, old man, are you using it to bluff people?

"what?"

Looking at the box that was finally opened in front of him, Yun Ruochen couldn't help exclaiming, his whole body was petrified.

Her exclamation spread to the outside, and several people couldn't help but look at each other, wondering what was hidden in the box, which would surprise someone as calm as Yun Ruochen?

"...you guys come in."

Without keeping them waiting, Yun Ruochen's summons came less than a quarter of an hour after the brief exclamation.

Then, the shocked people were replaced by the three of them.

"No, princess, did you really hit the mark?"

Ye Shenyan was still the most out-of-the-ordinary one. When he saw a topographical map of the mountains spread out on the desktop, his first reaction was—the princess was joking a few days ago that her mother might have left her a treasure map. There may be treasures all over the mountains and valleys!

Is it really a treasure map?
It's too bloody, right?

Nie Shen ignored the graphics first, and looked directly at the text marked with place names.Yun Ruochen also stared at him with doubtful eyes seeking proof, and after a while, Nie Shen nodded slowly.

"It's your mother's handwriting."

With Nie Shen's confirmation, Yun Ruochen's complexion became even uglier.

The three of them noticed her strangeness, and Ye Shenyan asked: "Princess, this picture...is it a map? What do you see?"

"Be careful, this picture..."

It was not Yun Ruochen who spoke, but Ji Jianing, who had always seldom made a sound.

Ji Jianing's expression was no more relaxed than Yun Ruochen's. She bit her lower lip, her face turned blue and white, and she turned to ask Yun Ruochen: "Princess, if I guessed correctly, this is... a magic circle?"

"Yes."

Yun Ruochen sat down, propped his forehead with one hand, and rubbed the center of his eyebrows with the other.

It is not in vain that she has worked so hard to choose Jia Ning as the successor of her own art school.It is not easy to be able to judge the magic circle hidden in it in a short period of time.

In fact, Ji Jianing was not sure, she could tell it from some special nouns and symbols marked on the map, but where is this map from?
"This is outside the customs."

Nie Shen answered everyone's questions.Tingyulou has the largest number of maps in the world, perhaps even more complete and detailed than those drawn and collected by the Ministry of War and Industry.

"Is it outside the customs?"

Yun Ruochen smiled wryly, and sighed, "Then I have to go outside the pass."

Ok?
Facing everyone's questioning eyes, she sighed again and revealed the answer.

"This is the largest and most complicated magic circle I have ever seen. It is a... cursed magic circle."

"Cursed..."

"It's royal..."

Yun Ruochen leaned on the back of the chair, only to realize that the morning light had faintly sprinkled into the inner hall through the glazed tiles of the transom, dyeing the hanging snow-white veils brightly.

Its daybreak.

Many of her perplexities for a long time have been solved.

Why do vassal kings have many heirs, but the royal bloodline has been very difficult for hundreds of years, and even the emperor's heirs have been cut off and the empress has succeeded to the throne.The first emperor Yuan Qi had been emperor for more than 30 years, and only raised two sons, and her father, younger brother, and even the original owner of her body "Yun Ruochen" all had congenital deficiencies.

Moreover, after her father ascended the throne, his health worsened. Not to mention a doctor, even her pure and deep Qi could not help him, but none of us could diagnose what disease the emperor had.

If...if the emperor died suddenly and Yun Yao, who was canonized as the crown prince, succeeded, his health might also deteriorate drastically, right?
Because, the power of this curse circle that has lasted for hundreds of years is about to reach its peak!
The man has passed away, and Yun Ruochen doesn't know where Liang Lianqing obtained this map, or if she deduced it by herself with the resources of the sky.

But when Liang Lianqing discovered this shocking secret, she kept it firmly in her heart, and even Nie Shen didn't tell it.

At first Yun Ruochen was a little puzzled, but after thinking about it carefully, it suddenly dawned on him.

If it were her, she would probably do the same.

This big secret is just too heavy, too heavy.

I don't know who used such a complicated method and a long time to lay down this curse circle that will overthrow the Qing Dynasty and make the Yun royal family disappear completely in a few hundred years.

Liang Lianqing herself may already be the pinnacle of sorcerers in the dynasty.And not only did she not have much confidence in breaking the formation, she also didn't have the physical strength to go outside to find the formation core.Even she couldn't undo the curse circle, so what if others knew about it?
She is well aware of how much influence it will have on her husband, daughter, and relatives who stay in Shuzhong if people know that the magic circle map was handed down from her hands, right?

And Nie Shen...he is loyal enough, and may have the ability to find the magic circle, but there is no way to break it.

Knowing that the other party can't do it, why bother to add burden to him.

That genius female sorceress who discovered this many years ago must be thinking, if the Yun family is destined to disappear, if the collapse of the dynasty is unstoppable, then... just let nature take its course.

Unless, her future successor can have the power to crack the magic circle, maybe she can give it a try!
"So looking for the key, no, to be precise, detecting the invisible formation is really a test." Yun Ruochen thought to himself.

If you can't even find the invisible formation, and don't even have the true energy to open the stone box, it's even more impossible to find and break the cursed formation outside the pass.

If this is the case, let this secret be completely buried under the water as time goes by.

After listening to Yun Ruochen's words, everyone was stunned, speechless for a long time.

After a long time, Ye Shenyan who broke the silence actually said, "Princess, Your Majesty is so amazing."

Hey, is the point of your sigh a little crooked?

Yun Ruochen glared at Ye Shenyan angrily, this guy... Well, she also thinks her mother is very powerful.At that time, Liang Lianqing didn't have so many available people around her, and because she was ashamed of Nie Shen emotionally, she didn't want to trouble him too much, right?Otherwise, Nie Shen wouldn't be so ignorant of things.She did it all by herself.

"She alone... has kept this secret for so many years..."

Nie Shen was expressionless, but filled with emotion in his heart.

When they first met more than ten years ago, those piercing eyes seemed to appear before his eyes again.

He thought he knew her well enough, but he never thought that in fact, he and her have always been far away.

Whether in body or mind, he actually...has never really been close to her.

This made Nie Shen feel very sad, but this is not a good time to lament the past.He has more important things to do.

"Princess, so you are going to find this magic circle outside the customs and break it?" Ye Shenyan asked.

Yun Ruochen nodded and said, "To be exact, we want to find the core of the magic circle."

She briefly studied the map, and found that the entire magic circle was huge, including several mountains and an entire grassland outside the pass.But it is very troublesome and difficult to arrange. To crack it, we still have to start from the core of the formation.

As long as the core of the formation is destroyed, the magic circle will have no effect, and those magic tools buried in each other that pull and sense each other will lose control.

That's the only good thing - because it's easier to destroy than to build.

"Jia Ning."

Yun Ruochen looked at Ji Jianing, and suddenly smiled. "From now on, you have to learn to be 'I'."

what?
After being stunned, everyone understood Yun Ruochen's intentions.

As the princess of the country with great power in her hands, she certainly can't disappear in front of people for too long, otherwise she will change.

There must be a substitute, and she will show up from time to time.

Fortunately, there is Nie Shen. He heard that Yulou's disguise mask is the best in the world, and it can be indistinguishable from a real person. Otherwise, how could Nie Shen have been "Staff Nie" for so many years?
Although Ji Jianing is a bit taller than Yun Ruochen, but through clothing, hairstyle and makeup, plus her own imitation, it will not be difficult to distinguish the real one from the real one.

But dealing with state affairs is also an obstacle.

Yun Ruochen decided to tell some secrets to Zhao Xuan, and asked him and Chu Qingbo to help Ji Jianing do things.But the most critical content, that is, the purpose of the magic circle is to subvert the Yun Dynasty, she will omit it.no way……

The position is different.

"Three days later, we will leave the customs!"
