Chapter 263 Opening the Box

"You can only marry me." Liu Xi approached Jing Lan, rubbed the tip of Jing Lan's nose, and said these four words in a crisp voice.

"Okay." Jing Lan answered simply.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and after whispering a few sweet private words, Liu Xi went around to the back of the wooden cart and held the handle, "Alan, go to my place to see something first."

Jing Lan asked in confusion, "What?"

"I'll know when we get there." Liu Xi smiled mysteriously, pushed Jing Lan and left.

Jing Lan lowered her head slightly, as if she was thinking about something, her ears were even more reddened.

Liu Xi quietly looked in his eyes, and said angrily: "Little thief, why didn't I see it at the beginning, so there is a belly full of bad water." With a slight movement of emotion, the qi pill in the dantian turned twice involuntarily.

Jing Lan turned her head shyly and reminded, "It's not good."

"What's the matter? Ah Lan is afraid?" Liu Xi asked back with a smile.

Jing Lan raised her eyebrows, "Am I afraid of you?"

"Heh, do you want to try?" Liu Xi asked again.

Jing Lan smiled and said, "Try it!" Her voice sank slightly, and she muttered softly, "Anyway, I'm not the only one who suffers."

"Ok?"

"Xi'er, look over there—"

Jing Lan quickly changed the subject, pointing to the sky beyond the eaves——

Liuxi looked along Jing Lan's direction, and saw the galaxy thousands of miles away, shining with stars, blending with the melting lamps and shadows under the eaves.

"Nice." She murmured.

"Indeed, it's beautiful." Jing Lan sat on the wooden wheeled cart, staring at Liuxi's harmonious halo dyed by the candle shadows. No matter how beautiful the stars and lights are, they are just a foil for her sweetheart.

"Alan..." Liu Xi turned her head suddenly, and just happened to meet Jing Lan's tender eyes, and the smile on her face suddenly became stronger, "Isn't it enough?"

"Not enough." Jing Lan smiled, but she spoke in an extremely cheeky manner, "Whoever made my Xi'er look good!"

"It's a good thing I took you in early, otherwise this mouth would have harmed many girls' families." Liu Xi was extremely proud.

Jing Lan raised her head slightly, "Nonsense, I don't like every girl."

Liu Xi suppressed a smile, and pushed Jing Lan to walk faster, "Tell me, what do you like?"

"Naturally like Xi'er!"

"Oh? Just like mine?"

"My Xi'er is a unique girl in this world..."

"I suddenly felt..."

"what?"

"It's definitely not that Xiaosi taught you badly with those unscrupulous books."

"what?"

"My family, Alan, is...bad."

"Xi'er, it's late."

"Who said that?"

"You promised to marry me! You can't be foolish!"

While pushing Jing Lan out of the corridor, Liu Xi was arguing with Jing Lan, feeling very happy in her heart.Unconsciously, the two of them had arrived in Liuxi's small courtyard.

Liu Xi pushed Jing Lan into the room, took Shu Ying in his hand, drew the knife out of its sheath, walked to the bed, lifted a stone slab with the tip of the knife, squatted down, and dug out the box buried under it.

"Do you still remember this box?" Liu Xi brushed off the plaster stained on it, carried the box to Jing Lan, and put the box on the table.

Jing Lan naturally recognized it, "This is the box in the belly of the blue beast under the Temple of Rebirth."

Liu Xi nodded, "That's right." While speaking, she took a handkerchief and carefully wiped off the remaining plaster, "Alan, what do you think is inside this box?"

Jing Lan thought for a while, and said seriously, "If this box is related to the painting under the mirage, it might be the box that the monk in the white cassock is holding. It may contain the relics of the Holy Buddha."

"If the rumors are true, the holy Buddha's relic can bring the dead back to life." Liu Xi suddenly stopped wiping, and looked at Jing Lan quietly, "If you can find Lang Shuai's coffin, tell me, can this relic bring Lang Shuai back to life?" ?”

"Why handsome wolf?" Jing Lan was puzzled.

Liu Xi smiled wearily, "I'm a little tired."

"Xi'er..." Jing Lan took her hand.

Liu Xi shook her head with a smile, "I'm tired of fighting and killing, scheming people's hearts, and calming down the chaos in Kyushu." She said, she covered the back of Jing Lan's hand, and pressed it warmly, "Ah Lan, come on!" Didn't you say that after the beginning of spring, you want to lead a horse and take me to see Moshang Xiaohua? I think, if you can be reborn as handsome wolf, your majesty will be able to reappear Daliang Haiqingheyan. Otherwise, I'm afraid I will spend half my life in poverty. Only with strength can I see the Haiqingheyan I want to see."

Although Jing Lan longed for such a day, the fact that he came back from the dead is really shocking, "Do you know where the tomb of Shuai Lang is?"

"Probably in Longling." Liu Xi replied lightly.Although he left Donglin, Jin Shoujiang sent a letter to Jing Lan every day, asking about the bell and talking about the court situation, and Liu Xi asked Jing Lan to ask a lot about Yuchi wine.Adding up the scattered things these days, I know a lot about Yuchijiu.

Jin Shoujiang said that the last place where Shuai Lang led Yun Zhan disappeared was Longling.Liu Xi imagined that she and Jing Lan once encountered a zombie general wielding double hammers under Longling. If that person was Yun Zhan, Yuchi Jiu might be in the depths of that dark corridor.

"Xi'er, even if the holy Buddha's relic has the effect of bringing the dead back to life, I don't want to use it on Lang Shuai." Jing Lan said solemnly, "It's really inappropriate to venture into Longling again."

"I'm just thinking about it." Liu Xi smiled. In fact, she also knew that if the box really contained the relics of the Holy Buddha, why would Yun Ji let the box fall into their hands?

Which chess player would be that stupid?First raise the chess piece to become stronger with the "Fish and Dragon Dance Jue", and then give a holy Buddha relic that can bring the dead back to life, which is equivalent to giving the chess piece another chance to fight against the chess player again.

Jing Lan breathed a sigh of relief, recalling the danger of those zombies under Longling, she felt a chill in her vest.

Liu Xi finally wiped off the plaster on the box thoroughly, the mechanism of this box is not difficult to solve, she has already solved it once under Hai Long Mausoleum, so opening this box can be regarded as familiar.

"Crack."

There was only a crisp sound in the box, and a crack was split in the middle of the box.

Liu Xi pressed the two sides, and pushed the lid of the box to the two sides, the lid was split into two and opened completely.

Sure enough, there were no holy Buddha relics inside, but only half a familiar parchment scroll.

Liu Xi took out the scroll and laid it flat on the table.At first she didn't recognize where it was, but when she saw the waterways sloping into the mountains, she exclaimed, "This is Longling!"

Jing Lan's eyes fell on where her finger was pointing, and she couldn't help gasping, "This is a huge imperial tomb." However, the design of the imperial tomb is only half drawn, and there is still half...

"Xi'er! Do you remember that we also got half a parchment under the mirage?"

"You mean that the two parchments refer to the same place!"

Jing Lan pointed to the far right side of the half parchment, "I remember, that's the shape where the half parchment began to be drawn!" After finishing speaking, Jing Lan still felt uncomfortable, "Wait for me, I'm Just go get it!"

"You're still hurt, tell me where you put it, and I'll get it." Liu Xi held Jing Lan down.

Jing Lan said in a deep voice, "I put it at the bottom of the bag."

"Wait for me to come back." Liu Xi nodded, got up and ran out of the room.

Jing Lan frowned, and took a look at it again with the parchment—the place where she fell along the waterway that day was the lowest point on the picture.Looking at the trend of this mountain shape, there are many zombies there, because it is an extremely fierce place that hides yin and dies.Since ancient times, fortune and misfortune have been born together, and yin and yang have exchanged. Longling is an excellent dragon cave for emperors, but it also has a very vicious yin vein for cutting off children and grandchildren.

Jing Lan thought that those waterways sent water into the evil place, probably trying to use the power of the water dragon to suppress the yin energy of the evil place.In this picture, it is like several water dragons swooping down fiercely, firmly suppressing the fierce spirit below.

gallery.

Jing Lan saw the promenade in the picture. At first, she thought it would be a way out, but she had to give up the promenade because she encountered a zombie general.

"It turned out to be the tomb passage..." Jing Lan looked at the direction leading to the corridor, where only half of the palace was drawn, and it was the beginning of the other half of the parchment.

In the 200 years since the founding of Daliang, no emperor has chosen a cave to build a tomb in Dongfuzhou, so this imperial mausoleum may be the tomb of a certain emperor of the Daye Dynasty.

Jing Lan was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't realize that Shen Jiangli walked over quietly, and half of his head poked out from behind her.

"Small, five." Shen Jiangli became playful, blew into Jing Lan's earlobe, and called out tremblingly.

My heart beat so fast that it almost jumped out of my throat.

"Sister Shen! You will scare people to death!" Jing Lan exclaimed.

Shen Jiangli laughed loudly and said, "I, help." After finishing speaking, he patted his chest triumphantly.

Jing Lan gave her a blank look in shock, "If you're dead, you can't be saved."

Shen Jiangli sat down beside Jing Lan, glanced at the parchment in Jing Lan's hand, "What?"

"The map of the emperor's mausoleum under Longling." Jing Lan finally regained his composure and answered truthfully.

Shen Jiangli raised his head seriously, "Take me!"

Jing Lan shook her head, "If it's not necessary, we won't go here, there are a group of old zombies below, it's terrible."

Shen Jiangli blinked and said in shock, "Zombie?"

"Sister Shen also finds it strange? The imperial mausoleum is supposed to be a place full of royal aura, but a group of zombies were born, and each one is more powerful than the other." After a slight pause, Jing Lan continued, "I'll go to the ghost gate to ask you to save people. It’s also because Xi’er and I almost got stuck in it last time.”

With a solemn expression, Shen Jiangli snatched the parchment and held it tightly in his hand, "No, go!"

"No." Jing Lan nodded.

Shen Jiangli breathed a sigh of relief, and stretched out his little finger to Jing Lan, "Pull, hook."

Jing Lan suppressed a smile, hooked Shen Jiangli's with her little finger, and said, "Keep your promise."

"Tsk tsk, man." A Youyou voice suddenly sounded outside, and she turned her pipe and leaned against the door, and gave Jing Lan a disdainful look, "It really is a sweet potato."

Shen Jiangli knew what she meant, so he couldn't help wrinkling his nose, "Begging, beating!"

"Sister Shen and I are innocent!" Jing Lan said frankly, but she had never had any unreasonable thoughts about Shen Jiangli's life.

Youyou walked in, twisting her waist, glanced sideways into the empty box, and saw that it was empty, and she glanced at the parchment in Shen Jiangli's hand from the corner of her eye, "There is something wrong with you two."

Shen Jiangli stuffed the sheepskin roll into his arms and held it tightly, "Go, go!"

Youyou sneered, not willing to obey her, simply sat down beside Jing Lan, and asked curiously, "Treasure map?"

Shen Jiang turned his face away, "No, yes!"

"Getting rich is a big deal, why don't you take me with you?" Youyou said with a smile.

Shen Jiangli felt that sometimes she was really ugly, "No, take it!"

Youyou turned Jing Lan a little, "Little Commander."

Jing Lancha said: "Miss Youyou has been running for half a day today, isn't she tired? I thought you would wash up and sleep as soon as you got back to your room."

Youyou twirled the pipe around, sighed: "Didn't you come to Liuxi to do something because you suddenly thought of something important?"

"No, yes." Shen Jiangli glared at Youyou, "Okay, yes!"

"Oh! Sister Jiangli, you have wronged me." Youyou said, blinking her right eye at Shen Jiangli, "He is on the same boat as you, so he must only do good deeds."

"Ghost, Xin!" Shen Jiangli quietly grabbed Jing Lan's clothes, "Don't, Xin!"

Jing Lan is a person who has seen Youyou's tricks, some words come out of Youyou's mouth, and she really can't believe a word, "Speak the business."

Youyou stretched lazily, "Miss Baili is not here, what business are you talking about?"

"You can talk now."

Liu Xi came in from the door, sat next to You You, and glanced at her with a half-smile.

His eyes were like a knife, which made people feel chills in their hearts.

Youyou refrained from being presumptuous, and sat up straight, a rare uprightness, "I think, during this period of time, she hides to refine spiritual weapons, and we can take this opportunity to go north to the gate of hell."

Shen Jiangli pricked up his ears when he heard the word "Ghost Gate".

Youyou's tone became much more serious, "That junior sister Xue Qingxian is a corpse, and living in Haicheng for a long time is a factor of instability."

"So?" Liu Xi asked lightly.

Youyou caught a glimpse of Liu Xi also holding half a parchment in her hand, she smiled and said, "I can escort Miss Jiangli to go north to the gate of hell to read books..." As she spoke, her gaze fell on the half parchment .

How could Liu Xi not know her thoughts, and asked with a smile: "As a deal, this treasure map..."

"Whoever sees has a share!" Youyou answered the next sentence straightforwardly.

Liu Xi simply replied: "Deal!"

Shen Jiangli gave Youyou a disgusted look, "No, follow!" She didn't want to follow this idiot north to the gate of hell, as long as she left Liuxi, Youyou would definitely take the opportunity to bully her!

"Don't worry, sister, she's not the only one." Liu Xi knew that Xue Qingxian would definitely follow.

Shen Jiangli blinked excitedly, "Yeah, go?"

Liu Xi shook her head, "Alan and I can't leave now."

Shen Jiangli lowered his head a little, quietly picked up the corner of Liu Xi's clothes, and twisted it twice.

Liu Xi touched the back of her head, "When things are settled, I will definitely go to the gate of hell with my sister to have a look."

"Say, yes!" Shen Jiangli nodded heavily.

"Well, don't lie to my sister." After Liu Xi finished speaking softly, she told Youyou: "Don't bully my sister on the way."

"How dare I?" Youyou waved her hand, "Isn't it still waiting for the governor's wife to take me to make a fortune together?"

"I'll be back after the 26th." Liu Xi told Shen Jiangli, "It doesn't matter if you find a prescription to dissolve the poison of the blood bead corpse."

"Why?" Shen Jiangli didn't know about Liu Xi's and Jing Lan's marriage yet.

Jing Lan said with a smile: "On the eve of Xi'er's wedding, there must be a lot of things she wants to say to Sister Shen."

Shen Jiangli suddenly realized, and laughed loudly: "One, definitely!"

"I'll ask Uncle Qin to prepare a boat to take you northward by sea, and the journey will be much faster." Jing Lan thought, the boat was sailing in the East China Sea, and there was nowhere to hide around, so Yunji definitely couldn't sneak up on them.

"Don't worry, I have to catch up with you two for a drink!" How could Youyou miss this wedding banquet?
