Chapter 17 The Chamber of Secrets┃The lonely king hates deception the most in his life

Chen Xing said: "This is the arrangement of fate. You can't help yourself if you don't want to be a Dharma protector, you see? It's a mistake now, and you are destined to follow me to investigate this matter...you, you, you... what are you going to do?" ?! You try to hit me again?"

Xiang Shu stood up, and Chen Xing immediately backed away, thinking that the rabbit would bite if it was in a hurry, but Xiang Shu didn't threaten him, and when he walked ahead, he glanced sideways at Chen Xing.

"The lonely king hates cheating the most in his life," Xiang Shu said coldly, "As long as you don't lie, you can save your life."

When he heard the word "lonely king", Chen Xing suddenly realized a serious problem that he hadn't noticed before. Xiang Shu's identity was Da Shanyu, the king of the northern part of the Great Wall, and Fu Jian, the co-lord of the Central Plains, was theoretically equal of.Perhaps it was a habit developed by the two of them traveling all the way, Chen Xing never regarded Xiang Shu as a big deal, and he didn't pay attention to his words like he did in front of Fu Jian. Now that I think about it, this guy is also a master of his words.

But Chen Xing still couldn't help but want to make a lip service.

"If you hit me again, wait for me to get back my mana..." Chen Xing said bitterly, "I will definitely take revenge, and I will beat you to death!" Shu started, and ran back to the imperial study room yelling, and brought Fu Jian to save his life.

"I'll wait." Xiang Shu only said coldly, waiting for Chen Xing to catch up, and frowned, "Still leaving?"

Chen Xing was puzzled for a moment, and then he came back to his senses. Xiang Shu wanted to investigate the matter of the Exorcist, so he followed closely.Xiang Shu turned out of the garden and arrived in front of a hall.

"Da Shan Yu is here." The gate guard hurriedly reported to the inside.

This is Princess Qinghe's bedroom. Princess Qinghe is sitting lazily, surrounded by several Xianbei girls with beautiful faces, presumably they are the daughters of Xianbei noble families.When they saw Xiang Shu, all the girls immediately laughed and stood up to greet him.

"Da Chanyu!"

"Stop wishful thinking," Princess Qinghe said with a half-smile, "Sit down for me, Da Shanyu likes men."

Item statement: "..."

Chen Xing glanced suspiciously at Xiang Shu: "Oh? Really? Really?"

Princess Qinghe explained to the left and right: "Didn't you hear about the pro-marriage?"

Xiang Shu took a deep breath and had no choice but not to talk about this matter with Princess Qinghe, otherwise the description would only get darker and darker, and said in a deep voice, "Where's the person?"

Princess Qinghe said: "I've been called, Da Shanyu should sit down and drink tea first, and Tian Chi will serve you, Da Shanyu."

Chen Xing had no choice but to sit down and pour tea for Xiang Shu, Princess Qinghe said again: "Tianchi?"

Chen Xing always felt that this group of barbarians were joking, and he liked to tease him when he had nothing to do. He was full of vigilance towards Princess Qinghe, and he didn't know the purpose of Xiang Shu's visit here. Maybe it was to ask Qinghe to help find someone to help They investigate.

"Yes." Chen Xing replied.

Princess Qinghe said with a smile, "Did you agree to the marriage that His Majesty proposed?"

Chen Xing said calmly, "No promise."

Princess Qinghe said again: "Oh? Why? You don't mind, we Xianbei people are so straightforward."

All the girls laughed again and looked at Chen Xing.

The corner of Chen Xing's mouth twitched, and he replied, "No emotion."

Princess Qinghe said again: "Emotions can be cultivated slowly."

Chen Xing replied: "Then we have to wait until we are trained, then we can talk about marriage."

Now that Chen Xing was able to accept the marriage of the two men quite calmly, he thought he could only use other excuses to block the words of this group of lawless barbarians.

Another girl smiled at Qinghe and said, "He already has someone, Brother Yan, don't count on it, I will definitely marry Da Shanyu if it's me, right?"

The girl spoke Xianbei dialect, which Chen Xing had learned from Yu Wenxin before, and she understood everything, but in this situation, she had to pretend that she didn't understand, and it was hard to see Xiang Shu's face.

Princess Qinghe also replied to the girl in Xianbei dialect: "It's okay to marry the two together. If he can take Wang Meng's position, he must marry Da Shanyu first, and then marry Yan'er..."

Chen Xing: "..."

"Enough." Xiang Shu finally couldn't listen anymore.

At this time, someone finally came outside, but Chen Xing heard a familiar voice.

"Grassman Feng Qianjun, I pay my respects to Her Royal Highness Princess Qinghe."

Chen Xing: "!!!"

Chen Xing immediately turned his head, but Xiang Shu just glanced outside the door, only to see Feng Qianjun standing outside the threshold, not daring to come in, he bowed slightly, and stood with his arms folded.When Chen Xing saw it, he almost didn't know him anymore, because today Feng Qianjun changed his clothes specially, changed his usual Jianghu style, wore a black lacquer cage crown, and trimmed his eyebrows.With the saber removed, his face is like a crown jade, and his appearance is dignified.

Chen Xing almost called out Brother Feng, but Xiang Shu stopped him with a look.

"Da Shanyu has something to look for you," Princess Qinghe said with a casual smile, "Come in."

"Take a step to talk." But Xiang Shu got up and said, "Let's go now."

Princess Qinghe didn't stop her, she just said: "Your Majesty is waiting for you to have dinner tonight, come back early."

Hearing Xiang Shu's words, he knew that trouble was coming. Ever since he entered the palace, Fu Jian never mentioned the matter of the purple scroll gold award, and only let him have a good rest. Xiang Shu didn't take the initiative to open his mouth. Finally asked him for the purple scroll.

Chen Xing and Xiang Shu got up and went out. Feng Qianjun raised his head again and cast a glance into the hall. Chen Xing suddenly found that there was a little loneliness in Feng Qianjun's eyes.

"Brother Feng?" Chen Xing whispered.

Feng Qianjun nodded, and went out of the palace together with Chen Xing and Xiang Shu. For a while, the three of them didn't speak. Chen Xing was planning in his mind, looked at Xiang Shu, and couldn't figure out his motives. It was even more strange why Feng Qianjun knew Princess Qinghe, full of suspicion, When there was no one outside the palace, a carriage was waiting.

Feng Qianjun took the initiative and said: "I heard about what happened last night. I know you two are fine. Today I wanted to ask someone to enter the palace to inquire, but Da Shanyu sent me in first."

Chen Xing looked at Feng Qianjun, and then at Xiang Shu. Xiang Shu still had that unfathomable expression, showing nothing.He had no choice but to ask Feng Qianjun: "Brother Feng, do you actually know Princess Qinghe?"

Feng Qianjun explained: "In addition to running the bank, the Feng family also occasionally donated rare things to the royal family. They came to Chang'an seven years ago and met her by chance. Da Shanyu, since you asked me to come, please forgive me." To put it bluntly..."

Xiang Shu interrupted Feng Qianjun and said, "It's my fault that I couldn't save your coachman last night."

Feng Qianjun hurriedly waved his hands and said, "The coachman has been buried richly and given a heavy gold hair. Naturally, no one would want such a thing to happen."

When Chen Xing heard that he cared about the life and death of the coachman because of Xiang Shu's identity, he changed his opinion of him slightly.

"Get in the car and talk." Feng Qianjun signaled, "Go to Songbai Residence?"

Chen Xing: "This carriage is too small..."

Feng Qianjun: "I didn't know both of you were there, forget it, let's make do and squeeze first..."

The carriage Feng Qianjun was sitting in was very narrow. As soon as the three of them got in, Xiang Shu and Feng Qianjun had long legs, and they were so crowded that they couldn't move. Xiang Shu's nose and lips were pressed against Chen Xing's profile, Feng Qianjun's arm was against Chen Xing's waist, Xing could only half sit on a thigh contributed by Xiang Shu and Feng Qianjun.

"Why am I sitting in the middle..."

Feng Qianjun: "Could it be possible to let Da Shanyu sit on my lap?"

Item statement: "..."

Chen Xing: "Strange, don't you always ride a horse? Why are you riding a car today?"

Feng Qianjun: "Because I don't want to mess up my hair."

Chen Xing: "Why?"

Feng Qianjun: "Don't ask, it's all sad."

The car passed Changkang North Road and staggered along the street where Xiang Shu and Chen Xing returned last night.Feng Qianjun said again: "Who on earth attacked you in the dark night last night? How many people? The information we have is really limited, and you two are the only ones involved."

Xiang Shu almost pressed Chen Xing's face, and replied coldly, "I don't know, I'm alone."

Feng Qianjun asked again: "When the city patrolling army arrived, the body of my coachman was already left. Why didn't we fight for a while and wait for reinforcements?"

Feng Qianjun knew that with Xiang Shu's status, he would never kill a coachman. It is almost certain that the two were attacked after they left Songbai Residence.

"Waiting for the patrolling army?" Xiang Shu said coldly, "Should they also die on the street together?"

Chen Xing thought it was like this, he ran away suddenly last night, did he not want to kill the soldiers patrolling the city?

Feng Qianjun was full of doubts, and looked at Chen Xing again. Chen Xing thought for a long time and explained: "The one who attacked us was a monster."

"There are monsters again?" Feng Qianjun said blankly, "Where did you go, there are monsters everywhere?"

"Do you think I'm thinking about it?" Chen Xing said helplessly, "And the cause and effect are also reversed!"

Xiang Shu opened his mouth and said, "The reason for sending you into the palace is another matter. Now go and open the door of the last storeroom underground."

Chen Xing: "!!!"

Chen Xing just mentioned it to Xiang Shu this morning, and Xiang Shu forcefully made a request to Feng Qianjun, Feng Qianjun immediately said: "No! I have no right to go in, and I can't go in either."

Xiang Shu said: "Okay, then stop."

Chen Xing immediately asked, "What are you going to do?"

Chen Xing only thought that Xiang Shu would go in single-handedly, stabbing Feng Qianyi to death with one sword, and slaughtering Songbaiju's entire family, but Xiang Shu said: "In this way, there is no need for Songbaiju to exist."

Feng Qianjun: "..."

The three of them were squeezed into a small carriage, Xiang Shu was about to get up, Chen Xing quickly moved onto him, pinned him down, sat in his arms, and smoothed things over: "I have something to say."

Xiang Shu: "Feng's family has been murdered, and they are so proud of themselves that they don't know it. If they die sooner or later, they are all dead. I don't mind sending your family on the way."

Feng Qianjun: "!!!"

Feng Qianjun took a deep breath, Chen Xing was shocked when he heard that Xiang Shu said it so directly!There was silence in the carriage for a while, Feng Qianjun hesitated to say a word, and finally sighed with a little frustration: "I have persuaded my elder brother more than once."

Xiang Shu: "This has nothing to do with me, open the warehouse door."

Feng Qianjun said bluntly, "Otherwise?"

Xiang Shu replied: "Otherwise, the lonely king will mobilize the imperial army tonight and drive your Feng family out of Chang'an. I have tolerated you for a long time, Feng Qianjun."

"Don't, don't," Chen Xing immediately said, "Don't quarrel, we are friends who have slept together, uh...Brother Feng, I really need...Can you help me find a way? You... ...For you, this all-encompassing... um..."

Chen Xing glanced at Feng Qianjun's saber, and the hidden meaning was self-evident: Once the mana in the world is restored, the Mori Saber will become a magic weapon. In Feng Qianjun's hands, it can restrain his elder brother Feng Qianyi at least, and even protect himself at worst.

Feng Qianjun naturally understood Chen Xing's hint and was silent in thought.

Chen Xing knew that Xiang Shu was not joking, in fact, as long as he asked Tuoba Yan to search Songbaiju, it seemed that it would not be difficult to achieve, but it was not easy to explain to Fu Jian.

Xiang Shu is a high-ranking official, so he told Feng Qianjun in advance that he had already given enough face. If the Feng family was not responsible for other matters and was searched by the imperial army, and there was still room for reasoning, the right now would be due to the fact that his brother was plotting something wrong, as long as he made a mistake One step, and maybe he will die without a place to bury him.

Feng Qianjun had no choice but to say: "Brother will definitely not agree, but let's do it, I will think of another way, just for this family-heirloom Senluo knife, I hope that after the mana is restored, I can convince my brother to understand our Feng family's responsibilities. .”

At noon, Feng Qianjun invited Chen Xing and Xiang Shu into Songbaiju, went out for a while and then came back, explaining: "The shopkeeper will take a nap every day after lunch, and during this time, I will go to fetch the key to the warehouse."

Xiang Shu looked as usual, and he and Chen Xing had lunch at Songbaiju, Feng Qianjun looked at Xiang Shu, and said with a smile: "Interesting, you are not afraid that I will poison the food."

Chen Xing said, "Does poisoning do you any good?"

Xiang Shu: "I'm not afraid of being poisoned."

Feng Qianjun: "..."

Chen Xing looked at Xiang Shu in surprise, thinking, are you still invulnerable?This physique is very strange.

Feng Qianjun thought for a while, and then said: "Since my sister-in-law passed away, my brother's temperament has changed drastically. In these years, he insisted on avenging my sister-in-law and two nephews..."

Xiang stated: "This has nothing to do with me."

Feng Qianjun had no choice but to answer: "Conspiracy is one of the ten evils. All crimes can be pardoned, but ten evils are unforgivable. I can only persuade him, but if he doesn't listen, what can I do?"

Xiang Shu remained silent and did not answer, while Chen Xing was anxious and wanted to explain to Feng Qianjun that he kept his mouth shut about the plot against the Feng family brothers, but he seemed to cover up when he said too much.Finally, Feng Qianjun said: "I just can't figure out who leaked the news."

Chen Xing hurriedly explained: "It's not me, I didn't say anything."

Feng Qianjun fell into thinking again, and at noon, Feng Qianjun got up lightly, motioned for himself to get the key, and asked the two to wait a moment.He walked barefoot through the corridor and came outside the big shopkeeper's room. After a while, he successfully got the key.

"There are only three keys." Feng Qianjun showed it to Chen Xing, and Chen Xing took it calmly: "I'll go in and have a look, and I promise not to move your things, and everything will return to its original place when I come out."

Feng Qianjun went to send the warehouse guards away, Xiang Shu and Chen Xing waited aside, when there was no one there, Chen Xing used the key to open the warehouse door, and closed it tightly from the inside to the outside.

The light dimmed, and in the warehouse where he couldn't see his fingers, Chen Xing's hand shone with a warm white light. Xiang Shu followed behind him with only his arms folded, going down the stairs, passing the copper warehouse, the silver warehouse, and entering the treasury.

Xiang Shu looked around, and Chen Xing explained: "This place is the site of the Exorcism Department General Administration in Han Dynasty 300 years ago. We are standing in their hall."

Xiang Shu: "In the Department of Exorcism, is there any record about the resurrection of '魃'?"

"I don't know." Chen Xing replied, "It is rumored that after the Exorcism Department was disbanded, many classics have been scattered in the world with the years. My master collected some in Huashan, and many more have disappeared... …Why on earth do you mind Ba so much?”

Xiang Shu still didn't answer. When he came to the last secret door, all the keys had been used, and there was only a compass in the center.

"It's called Lu Liner," Chen Xing thought for a while, and said, "I learned it in Shimen Middle School, and it's a kind of mechanism technique. When Feng Qianyi brought me in last night, he thought I didn't know anything about it. Identify the key to unlocking the interlocking of heavenly stems and earthly branches, there are many boxes in the master's gate, all of which use this kind of compass..."

"Stop talking nonsense." Xiang Shu held Chen Xing's neck and pushed him to the compass, "Unlock it."

Chen Xing: "..."

The room was silent for a while, except for the sound of the compass spinning. Chen Xing recalled Feng Qianyi's spinning sound last night, and tried to match the directions of the heavenly stems and earthly branches engraved on the compass.

"Xiang Shu?" Chen Xing asked, the white light in his hand only illuminated a small area on the compass.Both were hidden in the darkness.

Item statement: "?"

Chen Xing: "Your name is Shulukong, why do you say your surname is Xiang? And why are you called 'Xiang Shu' instead of 'Xiangkong'?"

"What does this have to do with you?" Xiang Shu asked indifferently.

Chen Xing only felt that there were too many mysteries about Xiang Shu. Why did he care so much about "魃"? Not like meddling.Even tracing the reason why the village was massacred by the Ba is not justified.

For a moment, Chen Xing stopped moving.

Item statement: "Continue."

Chen Xing stood up straight, thought for a while, and said, "Wait, Xiang Shu, I have one condition."

"You dare to make a condition with me?" Xiang Shu put his fingers on Chen Xing's shoulders, and Chen Xing suddenly became numb and said hurriedly, "That's not what I meant! Let go! Listen to my explanation!"

"I feel a resentment behind the door." Chen Xing was almost certain that what he felt at the bottom of the warehouse last time was not an illusion, but something real, and said, "I suspect that there is some kind of seal under the ground, although there is no seal yet. I don't know why it got involved with Feng Qianyi, it is very likely that he was also affected by this resentment..."

"Stop talking nonsense and get to the point!" Xiang Shu said again.

"The underground secret vault of the Exorcism Department... Don't do anything! Listen up!" Chen Xing said, "There may be some kind of seal, and this kind of thing cannot be solved by fighting alone."

Xiang Shu replied, "Yes, I will listen to you."

Chen Xing also said: "Although I don't know how to deal with it, you need to be my guardian during this period of time. The most important thing is to protect my safety. You must trust me wholeheartedly and without reservation. Only by listening to me can you deal with the danger."

Xiang Shu sneered, "Don't you boast that your luck has always been good?"

Chen Xing said again: "I don't know exactly where I provoked you, what do you think of me?"

Xiang Shu: "You didn't provoke me, and I have no objection to you."

Chen Xing: "Then let's talk calmly. Is it difficult for you to be my guardian? As long as you are willing, the power of the heart lamp is far more than this effect. You also saw its effect when you were in Longzhong Mountain. Book As I said above, the exorcist and the guardian, only when the lives of each other are entrusted, the magic can exert its strongest power."

Xiang Shu: "Are you blackmailing me with this? Open the door!"

Chen Xing: "Of course not! I'm just afraid that there is something difficult to deal with inside."

Xiang Shu was silent for a long time, when Chen Xing turned to look at him, Xiang Shu finally said, "Yes."

"Wang! Wang!"

"Wow!" Chen Xing was taken aback by the sudden sound, and when he turned around, he saw Feng Qianjun hugging a little dirt dog: "Huh? Why are you here?"

Feng Qianjun said: "It smelled of you on me, so it followed me all the way."

It was the dog that Chen Xing picked up from the road when they arrived in Chang'an and was entrusted to Feng Qianjun. Actually, he hadn't seen him for a few days, and the puppy only wagged its tail happily towards Chen Xing.

Chen Xing hugged it, stroked its head, and was so frightened that his heart jumped out of his throat just now, and asked, "Brother Feng, when did you come?"

Feng Qianjun: "When you asked Da Shanyu to listen to you wholeheartedly and without reservation."

Xiang Shu obviously knew that Feng Qianjun had come in a long time ago. Although Feng Qianjun's footsteps were soft, he couldn't hide it from a master like Xiang Shu. Chen Xing said, "I have unlocked it, and the door will open now."

Chen Xing took a deep breath and put the compass back in place. There was a "click" sound from inside, and the lock was unlocked, and then stepped forward to push the door.

The door remained motionless.

Chen Xing: "..."

"It must have been closed for too long." Chen Xing turned sideways, put his shoulders on the stone door, pushed in hard, and said, "It's stuck inside..." His feet slipped on the ground when he was pushing hard, and he moved towards his neck. Said: "Guardian! Give me a hand!"

Xiang Shu held Chen Xing by the collar, took him aside, stretched out his middle and index fingers, hooked an opening on the side of the compass, pulled it sideways, and with a rumbling sound, the door slid open to the left.

Chen Xing: "Oh, it turned out to be a sliding door."

A dark space appeared inside.

Chen Xing raised his hand, and the light from the heart lamp filled the room and shone deep into it.

It was a narrow and dark space, but the firewood room was square, and when the light of the heart lamp was lit, the room could be seen at a glance.When the door opened, the puppy suddenly became a little scared, turned and ran away.

Chen Xing uttered a cry, and walked in quickly, only to see messy and broken bamboo slips on the shelf on the left side of the small room, dozens of boxes on the right side, and a locked iron cabinet in the middle.

"It's been buried in the ground for too long." Chen Xing reached out and took the bamboo slips from the shelf, frowning deeply.

There are only three people standing in the storage room, and they would run into each other even when they turned around. Feng Qianjun looked up and looked around, and said, "This must be a relic dug out of the ground when the warehouse was built."

"Can you see it?" Xiang Shu asked.

Chen Xing remorsefully handed Xiang Shu a bamboo slip. After 300 years, it was buried underground for a long time. It was eroded by running water, covered with sand and mud, and the words could no longer be read.

"It's only one step away," Chen Xing said helplessly, "It's only one step away, my God!"

"Are you sure that as long as you can read the handwriting, you can find what you want?" Xiang Shu said, holding Chen Xing's wrist with one hand, raising him slightly, and using it as a lamp to illuminate the bamboo slips in his hand.

Chen Xing: "At least we can find some clues!"

Feng Qianjun opened a box and said, "Look?"

Inside the box was a large group of sticky hard shells. Feng Qianjun broke off a small piece, which was paper.After the paper was soaked in water, it became a big ball and finally dried.

Chen Xing struggled a few times to let Xiang Shu let go of his hand. Xiang Shu threw the bamboo slips aside, and began to look at an empty scabbard again.

"What's written on the scabbard?" Xiang Shu asked.

Chen Xing recognized a line of ancient seal characters on the scabbard: "The net of life and death is firmly bound, and I wish to use the sword of wisdom to break it."

There is another heavy iron cabinet in the middle, with a black iron lock on it.

"Open it and have a look?" Chen Xing always felt that there was something unusual here.

Feng Qianjun signaled the two to get out of the way, and when he was about to draw the knife, Xiang Shu stretched out his finger, hooked it, and twisted it, and the iron piece connecting the lock on the cabinet door was unscrewed.

When Chen Xing was about to use the light to illuminate the iron cabinet, Xiang Shu was already in front of Chen Xing, holding the scabbard in his left hand as a defensive posture, and opened the cabinet door with his right——

There is a palm-sized vanity mirror in the cabinet, and the rest are made of jade, and there are chains carved from white jade, which are heavily wrapped around the vanity mirror, and the moment the iron cabinet is opened, black mist immediately fills the air.

The role of jade is to exorcise evil... This is resentment!Chen Xing made a decisive decision and shouted: "Close the cabinet door quickly!"

However, the cry came too late. As soon as the cabinet door was opened, the black mist inside burst out, sweeping the entire storage room, wrapping the three of them in it. Xiang Shu shouted: "Back!"

Chen Xing only felt a strong suction dragging him, pulling him crazily towards the mirror. As soon as he turned around, he was wrapped in a whirlwind and flew up. Get sucked into the mirror!

The iron cabinet vibrated crazily, rumbling, like a monster's mouth, and began to swallow everything around in the strong wind. Chen Xing grabbed the door of the storage room, dragged Xiang Shu with one hand, and Xiang Shu shouted: "Let go! Leave it alone!" I!"

Chen Xing turned around and shouted, "What did I say before you came in?"

Feng Qianjun roared: "Find a way to kick the cabinet door shut!"

However, Chen Xing couldn't hold it any longer, his fingers hurt so badly, he subconsciously let go, and was swept away by the whirlwind of black mist. At that moment, Xiang Shu immediately wrapped his arms around Chen Xing's waist, hugged him tightly, and the two of them were sucked in with a bang. Into the mirror!

Feng Qianjun roared: "Come on! Help—! Chen Xing!"

Feng Qianjun grabbed the knife with one hand, stuck the saber by the door, looked back at the weird mirror, and when he looked out again, his pupils suddenly dilated, and he saw outside the dark room, leaning on a wheelchair, holding a lamp, and wearing a mask, which only covered the He glanced twice and looked at his elder brother Feng Qianyi from afar.

Feng Qianyi showed a strange expression, half a smile, but shook his head helplessly.

Feng Qianjun unknowingly dropped his hand, and was swept into the mirror by the dark storm, including the man and the knife.
