princess regent lifted from her grave

At this time, the old woman who was meditating suddenly opened her eyes after hearing the noise, and joy flashed in her cloudy eyes.

She turned her eyes to look not far away, and her eyes fell on the two thick iron doors. She scanned the lifelike phoenix inch by inch, and saw the phoenix's eyes that had been closed for a thousand years slowly opened.

The old woman was overjoyed. She quickly stood up and moved forward. After taking a closer look and making sure that Phoenix had opened her eyes, she quickly stretched out her trembling hands and tried to push the heavy iron door open.

However, she almost tried her best, but the heavy iron door carved with a phoenix and a phoenix remained motionless. The old woman's excited eyes gradually cooled down.

Frowning slightly, is it really like what was recorded in the handwritten notes left by the Phoenix Daughters of the past? Is it just one of the conditions for Phoenix to open his eyes?

In order to confirm again, she quickly entered the secret room in the room to check again.

After checking it carefully, he frowned even more. He recorded in his hand that if Phoenix's eyes suddenly opened, it was someone who was destined to the underground palace who came to visit. If a drop of their blood was taken, it fell into the opened eyes of Phoenix, and a thick The iron door will open by itself.

The nearly fifty-year-old woman narrowed her eyes. Could it be that someone from Phoenix Village was coming?

As the daughter of the Phoenix chosen by the headmaster, she is also the goddess in the Phoenix Village. She has guarded this place for decades. Originally, this sacred goddess halo could not reach her. She was originally just a collateral member of the Nangong family. One of the concubines, she tried her best to trick the old master's biological daughter into death. The legitimate daughter in the collateral line was also married, so she took advantage of the loophole.

but,

If she had known that being made a goddess and guarding the underground palace was such a torment, she would definitely not have competed for such a hard-working job. She might as well marry someone else and enjoy a beautiful life, wouldn't it be happy?

but,

There is no regret medicine to buy in this world. You enjoy the respect of the people in the village, but when you look up, you have to bear the loneliness and loneliness behind you alone.

She discovered the secret room when she was disheartened, and even knew the secrets in the code. She also gained some understanding of this underground palace.

It turns out that there are not only a large number of treasures in the underground palace, but also a panacea for eternal youth and unfading appearance. Although the last record in the handbook was just idle speculation, the old woman believed it to be true. She believed that there was something in the handbook. The records of our ancestors are not fabricated out of thin air.

She also knew that this underground palace would be opened in a thousand years. This was also recorded in the handbook of one of the goddesses. The goddess recorded: She has been fond of divination since she was a child. She spent her whole life to divination to the underground palace. The day it was opened and recorded.

When she saw the opening day, she was surprised and happy because she was... the one who had the honor to protect it. This is the belief she persists in until now.

She has only done two things in the past few decades. One is to wait for the day when the underground palace is opened, and the treasures inside will be hers. Thinking about the elixirs and countless wealth, it is enough to make her heart move, and she even gives it to her. She is patient enough.

Secondly, if she practices martial arts, if she wants to remain beautiful and youthful forever, she must have the ability to save her life...

The dead Nangong Patriarch still wanted to join hands with her to open the underground palace. She agreed on the surface, but in fact she was contemptuous. She did not believe that Nangong Patriarch had such ability. Fortunately, only Nangong Patriarch and his personal bodyguard knew about this matter. Fortunately, they He actually died outside, otherwise, she would also be implicated.

However, even if Nangong Jin knew about her abnormality, she had no fear. This underground palace was not accessible to anyone at will. There were so many mechanisms here that you could lose your life if you were not careful. The maids who came to deliver meals every day only stayed there. Far away.

There are only a few people who know how to avoid the mechanism. It happens that the leader and the dead Nangong clan leader know it.

However, they died before they could even say a word to Nangong Jin, so Nangong Jin couldn't come in.

If Nangong Jin really wanted to embarrass her, she would threaten to destroy the underground palace, and Nangong Jin would have no choice but to admit defeat.

Furthermore, she was also fully aware of the changes in Phoenix Village in the past three years. The more so, the more excited she became, just because the divination goddess divined the changes in Phoenix Village today.

She had carefully read through the manuscripts of the goddess, but unfortunately, there was no record of anything related to the underground palace in the manuscripts. It was unknown whether the goddess did not divine it, or she had some scruples and did not record it.

"The goddess has eaten."

When the old woman heard the shouts coming from outside, she immediately put her thoughts away, put a kind smile on her face again, and walked slowly to the house in the distance. When she saw the maid who came to deliver the meal, she asked seemingly unintentionally:

"Xiao Xing, why are you here so early today?"

"Goddess, there are distinguished guests in the village, and my wife has arranged meals in advance."

The old woman's turbid eyes flashed brightly, her thoughts were turning over and over again, as if she was very surprised: "Distinguished guest? Where did this distinguished guest come from?"

Xiao Xing shook her head and said: "My servants don't know that only the patriarch and his wife have seen them, and it was the patriarch who personally welcomed them back."

"The patriarch personally welcomed him, so he must be an honored guest." The old woman's kind smile remained unchanged, and her eyes looking at the food box became gentler: "Xiao Xing, what food did you bring for me today?"

Xiao Xing looked at the kind goddess with admiration on her face. The goddess' temperament has always been kind and gentle, and she has never been angry with her. When others asked her how the goddess was, she told the truth. Who in the entire Phoenix Village does not praise her now? How kind and gentle the goddess is.

Xiao Xing hurriedly handed over the food box and asked the goddess to check it.

The old woman was very satisfied when she saw Xiao Xing's expression. When she turned around, she seemed to have thought of something, and turned back to Xiao Xing and told her:

"Xiao Xing, please call Xiao Tao here. I miss her a little."

"The slaves obey."

After hearing this, the old woman turned and left with a smile.

Xiao Xing did not notice anything unusual. Xiao Tao was the goddess's former maid, and the relationship between the two was very good. Xiao Tao often came to visit the goddess. It was not surprising that the goddess wanted to see Xiao Tao.

After Xiao Xing and the old woman left, Mu Fengyan and Ye Lijue, who were hiding in the dark, slowly walked out.

Mu Fengyan looked at the old woman's retreating figure and whispered:

"Ajue, is she the goddess?"

Mu Fengyan felt that it was very different from the image of a goddess in her mind.

Ye Lijue's eyes fell on the old woman's legs and responded:

"Well, she is an older goddess. Yan'er, look at the light way she walks, it seems she is quite secretive."

Mu Fengyan agreed:

"Ajue, this goddess has been guarding here for decades, so she must have some fun. Maybe practicing martial arts is one of her fun. She has been guarding beside the dark underground palace for decades and has not been driven crazy. She is also a person. awesome."
