Everything in the mountains is covered with a layer of silver, and some trees were turned into jade trees by the sudden first snow before their greenness completely faded.

Several horse roars broke this dreamlike, silent world of ice and snow.

In the vastness of the world, a guard in black drove a tall carriage through the mountain paths, raising a layer of white mist on the snowy road.

The carriage didn't stop until it reached the mountain monument.

The guard jumped out of the carriage first, opened the curtain, and a man in black fur got out of the carriage. He smiled and invited another man in white in the carriage.

"The road ahead is steep and difficult. Sir, why don't you walk with me and enjoy the beautiful scenery after the snow."

Just as Shen Qin was about to step out of the car, Li Yunxi reached out and suddenly pulled off his sleeve, and then took him into his arms while his body was unstable.

"You, really..."

Shen Qin smiled and scolded, pressing against his chest and pushing him away.

"What is it?" Li Yunxi said proudly.

"Smart ghost."

Shen Qin originally wanted to say that he was a bad guy, but then he changed his words.

"I like this title."

Li Yunxi smiled sweetly. After all, he was in his prime. After taking the medicine and sleeping for a night, his body recovered and his face became much rosier. Unfortunately, he was so sleepy that he didn't know that Shen Qin secretly warmed himself up last night. thing, otherwise I would have to seize the opportunity to make fun of it again.

Shen Qin stepped in front of the stone tablet and flicked her sleeves to scatter the thin snow on the stone tablet, revealing the large inscription "Taikang Mountain" underneath.

Although Shen Qin's expression was calm at this moment, he was extremely uneasy in his heart. He never expected that Li Yunxi would go to Taikang Mountain to investigate the case committed by "Han Xiao" in person while guarding the mausoleum.

The imperial mausoleum is less than an hour away from Taikang Mountain. Because this is a taboo for His Majesty, Li Yunxi did not bring many followers in order to avoid being noticed.

Along the way, Li Yunxi told Shen Qin the "legend" of the ghost face in red.

The revenge for her failure was rumored to be a supernatural story, and Shen Qin couldn't laugh or cry.

"Sir, look here."

Li Yunxi pointed to a dragon-shaped totem carved on the corner of the stone tablet.

The totem looked like two flying dragons circling and playing with orbs. The patterns were complicated and complicated, and there was only an indescribable feeling of weirdness.

"I have investigated and found that this stone tablet only had text before, but this pattern appeared after the Zen Ceremony. Not only this stone tablet, but also various rare birds and animals and auspicious totems are carved on some huge rocks in the mountain."

After a pause, Li Yunxi thought.

"Except for the altar, there was no tradition of mountain stone carvings in the Zen ceremonies of the past dynasties. The chief supervisor responsible for building the mountain road and the altar was Yuhou Yuyu. He always did things cleanly and concisely, so why bother?"

Shen Qin slightly squatted down and pretended to look at the pattern carefully.

With the help of Yu Yu, Zhang Shensuan and others disguised themselves as craftsmen and infiltrated the team of migrant workers building the mountain road, and hid the 81 runes in the Bagua array of the "Thousand Machine Array" on the carvings of altars, rocks, and trees. .

On the eve of the Zen Ceremony, Zhang Shensuan finally carved eyes for the dragon on the stone tablet that entered the mountain, turning it into the eye of the formation. He activated a huge maze that made people lose their sense of direction, trapped thousands of officers and soldiers, and burned them alive.

Thinking of this, Shen Qin felt extremely regretful and couldn't help but sigh.

"Why did you sigh, sir? Do you know the mystery behind it?"

Behind him, Li Yunxi playfully played with Shen Qin's hair bun with his fingers.

After controlling her emotions, Shen Qin replied.

"I just feel that I have little talent and limited knowledge, and I cannot help His Highness with his worries."

"Don't underestimate yourself. Although you are a little worse than me, sir, after all, you have traveled thousands of miles and read thousands of books, so you can always make up for it."

Li Yunxi smiled shamelessly.

Narcissist!

If it weren't for his status, Shen Qin would definitely turn around and roll his eyes at him.

"I am ashamed of myself, so please give me some advice from Your Highness."

"The terrain of Taikang Mountain is not complicated. There are only two mountain roads, which are easy to enter and exit. However, it is said that there seems to be some kind of magic power since the Zen Ceremony. People who enter the mountain often get lost easily. Mountain people say that they died in Taikang Mountain The little devils are causing mischief and even burn 'passing money' before entering the mountains, but..."

Li Yunxi bowed, put his hands on Shen Qin's shoulders, and spoke close to his ear.

"Sir, since you don't believe there are ghosts in the world, then I don't believe it either."

Shen Qin listened quietly and still said nothing. He knew that although the runes on the trees were burned in the mountain fire and their power was weakened a lot, the runes remaining on the rocks are still useful to tourists who first arrived in the mountains. Confusing.

"Yesterday, Mr. Mentioned a kind of magic that can use patterns or words to make people trance, and I thought that the reason why tourists get lost may be related to these patterns."

Shen Qin was shocked that he could think of this directly. He was indeed smart enough. He cleared his throat and turned around to answer.

"What His Highness said is reasonable. There are many strange people and magic among the people, so it is not impossible."

Seeing that he had already reasoned to this point, Shen Qin knew that if she raised objections now, it would only make Li Yunxi more suspicious.

"Speaking of which, I always feel like I have seen similar lines somewhere..."

Li Yunxi traced the dragon pattern totem with his fingertips and fell into thought.
