withered prosperity

No one wanted to alarm the guards.

Before Ah Ying's crying came out of her throat, Yun Ji tapped her Ya acupoint quickly.

The cry was blocked in her throat, and Ah Ying rolled her eyes because of choking.

"Stop pretending." Yan Hai looked at her amusedly: "I like torturing children who love to pretend the most."

Ah Ying covered her head and looked at him vigilantly.

"Is your mother's surname Yue? She's right here! Take me to meet her." Yan Hai imitated what she liked, tilted his head and said to her: "You'd better behave yourself and don't play any tricks, or I will Just shave your head, so that you will never be seen again, and cut off your tongue, so that you can no longer tell lies."

Ah Ying, who had no other choice, was let go.

Yun Ji and Yan Hai followed behind her, walking down the stairs.

She was very dissatisfied with being treated like this, and walked very hard when she went downstairs.

But Mu Huaijin seemed very relieved of the guards outside, or there were too many secrets to keep, there were no guards in the tower, and the closed environment was able to isolate the sound well.

What's more, even if they really heard something, the guards outside might not come in to check.

Her little movement was nothing, so Yan Hai let her go.

"Do you think there are really gods and monsters in this world?" Yan Hai looked up at the huge Buddha statue with a hideous face while walking down. "Or maybe the world just transformed some unknown power into an imagined appearance."

"I've never seen it before." Yun Ji replied, grabbing his hand, "I can't believe anything I've never seen before."

"I read it in a book." He lowered his voice: "It is said that many years ago, people in this world were still living in ignorance and stupidity. Suddenly one day, the day suddenly turned into night, Red rain like fresh blood fell from the sky, and it fell for many days and nights. Later, countless immortals dressed in golden light came to this world from the void. Since then, people living in this world have opened their eyes. Sanity has faith."

"Everyone in the world likes to attribute everything to the gods. Success or failure is destiny. In my opinion, it's just a way to excuse myself!" Yunji said: "When you are alive, you should be responsible for your own words and deeds. How can you blame everything? In the illusory theory of ghosts and gods?"

While speaking, the three of them had already reached the bottom floor and walked around behind the Buddha statue.

Ah Ying ran in front of the flame lotus seat, and touched some mechanism, one of the lotus petals moved slowly and silently, revealing a wide and bright passage.

Yan Hai took a look inside, saw that the passage was very long, slanting downwards, he didn't know where it led, so he asked Aying, "Where is the way to go?"

Yun Ji raised his hand to release Ah Ying's acupuncture points.

"Go to the place where my mother and I live!" Aying looked angry but didn't dare to get angry, and secretly looked up at them: "Don't you want to see my mother?"

"Then you go ahead, and the two of us will follow you." Yan Hai reminded her: "Be careful, I'll watch you!"

"Got it!" Ah Ying pouted with a bulging face, and was the first to walk into the passage.

Yan Hai said to Yun Ji to be careful with his lips, and Yun Ji nodded.

Although the passage was not too narrow, it could not accommodate two grown men walking side by side, so A Ying walked at the front, Yan Hai was in the middle, and Yun Ji could only walk at the end.

After all, Ah Ying is a child, she seems to have quickly forgotten what happened just now, and started jumping up and down on the slightly downward road.

An ever-burning lamp was lit in the light slot on the wall, and the light swayed gently with the breeze coming from nowhere, and the shadows it cast were a bit chaotic.

Yun Ji, who was walking at the end, stared at Yan Hai's back, then looked at his empty hands, feeling a little uncontrollably irritable again.

Want to catch this guy.

Yes, just reach out and grab it...

His rationality told himself that such thoughts were really unnecessary, no matter what danger there was, as long as he stretched out his hand, he could protect Yan Hai.

But he knew very well in his heart that this impulse was not just for Yan Hai's safety, but for himself.

He was very uneasy...and this uneasiness can only be filled with this person in front of him.

Just when Yun Ji couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to reach out, his hand was drawn into a warm palm.

"I don't know why, but I always feel that my hands are empty and my heart is not at ease." Yan Hai turned his head and said to him in a low voice, looking a little embarrassed: "Although it is not easy to walk, you still let me hold you. ,OK?"

Pavilion Master Yun gave a "hmm", nodded reservedly, and didn't pull his hand back out of face.

After walking along this downward passage for a while, after passing a corner, it suddenly opened up again.

Yun Ji took a step forward and walked side by side with Yan Hai.

"The section in front is newly built, at most ten years, here..." Yan Hai looked around: "It's been hundreds of years, at least."

"It was in the former dynasty." Yun Ji motioned him to look at the murals on the wall, the costumes of the characters there were very different from those of today.

"What is the painting..." Yan Hai took a look through the long burning lamps placed on both sides: "Is it a banquet?"

In the courtyard under the moonlight, the well-dressed guests were already seated. They raised their wine glasses one after another, and the table was full of delicacies.

"This painting..." Yun Ji frowned: "I seem to have seen it somewhere..."

At this time, they had already reached the central part of the mural. There was a man in black in the painting, surrounded by fairies flying around him. Staring at farther places.

"Meeting Immortals under the Moon." After walking through the mural completely, Yun Ji suddenly remembered where he had seen this painting, and he was a little surprised: "Could it be that..."

"What's wrong?" Yan Hai turned his head and asked him.

Yun Ji shook his head.

The two of them followed Ah Ying and turned a corner again, and the passage was much wider, not only allowing several people to walk side by side, but also the height was three or four times higher than before.

In the center of the passage, stands a tall stone tablet.

"You are the king of the world." Yan Hai read out the five words engraved on it: "What does this mean?"

"This sentence refers to a powerful official hundreds of years ago. Jun is his surname. This place..." Yun Ji finally expressed his conjecture: "It is likely to be his tomb."

"Tomb?" Yan Hai was a little stunned. "No wonder... we walked through the tomb passage just now!"

"It is said in the history books that he started a rebellion, died under torture, and was abandoned in the wilderness." Yun Ji was very puzzled: "It is logically impossible to build such a large tomb for a traitor, and it is still built in this kind of place... ..."

Tianzhen Temple was built according to the formation method of suppressing evil spirits. Under the ground is an ancient tomb of a powerful official hundreds of years ago... This really makes people think about it.

"Be careful, this place is a bit weird." Yun Ji grasped his hand tightly.

"What about the child?" Yan Hai asked suddenly.

But in the blink of an eye, Ah Ying disappeared.

The stele is in the middle of the passage, so to speak, it stands upright. Ah Ying walked in the front and was the first to bypass the stele, but after the two of them walked past the stele while talking, they didn't see her figure.

The passage in front of him was deep and deep, and he didn't know where it extended.

Just as Yun Ji was about to speak, he suddenly felt an abnormal noise behind him. He hurriedly turned around, only to see that huge stone tablet suddenly turned upside down in the direction of the two of them.

He hastily exercised his strength and clapped his hands upwards.

Even if the stele was made of refined iron, he was confident that he could raise it up a bit, and this moment was enough for him to retreat with Yan Hai whole body.

But the moment Zhangfeng touched the stele, he knew something was wrong.

The place where the force is applied is empty, and it doesn't seem to be hitting the real thing at all.

Yun Ji's mind was shocked, and he hurriedly turned around.

The person who was still holding it in his hand a moment ago had disappeared.

Looking at the stele at this time, it just stood upright in its original place, and there was no sign of falling down at all.

Illusion!

His breathing suddenly became rapid, and a scarlet color surged in his suddenly constricted pupils.
