All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

Chapter 234 He's Really Scum

Shen Lingxi did not expect that Mu Huai'an would find the entrance of the secret room so effortlessly.

"Your level is good." She asked in surprise, "Have you practiced?"

Mu Huai'an looked at the entrance, a dark look flashed across his eyes very quickly.

He twitched the corners of his mouth, but without answering, he took the lantern from Shen Lingxi, "Follow me." He walked down first.

The secret room is not very deep, just below the room, it is an empty stone room, you can see the end at a glance.

There are several wooden shelves on the four walls of the stone room, and some black porcelain bottles are placed on the wooden shelves.

Shen Lingxi recognized those porcelain vases, which were exactly the same as the ones that locked Xie Zhanghua and Xie Zhangting back then.

With the light of the wind lamp, she saw the four corners of the secret room, which were arranged in strange shapes with black clay pieces.

It is shaped like a bull's head, with pointed horns on the head, and the horns point to the center of the secret room.

Shen Lingxi took the lantern from Mu Huai'an, and searched for it on the ground in the middle of the stone room, and soon found a circle that seemed to be drawn with black charcoal.

The circle is so big that she couldn't help but think of Su Xian's circle for saving others.

Shen Lingxi pondered for a while, then walked decisively to the southwest corner of the secret room, stretched out her feet and kicked the shapes of the black clay pieces apart——

"Oh, I'm finally free, I'm so anxious to death!"

Liu Meiren's voice came to her ears from behind, Shen Lingxi's eyes lit up, she turned around in surprise, and saw the disappearing souls, showing their shadows intact!
Several people floated out of the black circle in a hurry, all of them looked terrified.

"Are you okay?" Shen Lingxi looked at Xie Zhanghua and greeted him warmly.

Xie Zhanghua nodded with a pale face, "I've just been released from the jar, so I'm still used to it."

Shen Lingxi looked up at Liu Meiren again, and asked suspiciously: "How did you get locked in here?"

Liu Meiren circled around the secret room.

"We saw Uerda enter the room mysteriously, and followed him curiously. Who would have thought that we would be locked into this formation as soon as we entered the room."

As she spoke, she pointed to the clay tablets that had just been kicked by Shen Lingxi, "Here, this is it. In the palace, this thing was buried in the soil around the courtyard. When the Dizang Hall was being repaired, the craftsmen Inadvertently got this thing away, and we were able to walk out of the soul lock well."

"Is the Soul Locking Formation here really the same as the one set up by the previous dynasty?" Shen Lingxi asked again.

Liu Meiren turned around again and took a closer look, "Although there is a slight discrepancy, it is roughly the same. I didn't expect that Urda also had two brushes. You know, in our previous dynasty, only the national teacher would have it." Such means."

The previous dynasty, like Yunguo, ruled the country based on the belief in witches and ghosts.

The national teacher, like the saintesses of Yun Kingdom, has the ability to communicate with "gods".

Shen Lingxi has been a saint before, so she knows how much she weighs. The so-called communication with the "god" is nothing more than a good prayer dance to make people believe that there are gods in this world.

The meaning represented by the identity of the saint is all given to her by the imperial power and the people.

She respected her identity in her previous life, and she was only respecting the beliefs of the common people.

In contrast, if the former national teacher can really lock up these air-like dead souls, he must be much better than her "saint".

Mu Huai'an, who was at the side, saw that Shen Lingxi started talking to the void again, so he knew that she must have found those dead souls.

Perhaps what he saw and heard tonight was shocking enough and scary enough.

This time he didn't show the slightest fright.

"I'll wait for you outside."

Mu Huai'an walked to the entrance of the secret passage, reached out and lit the oil lamp in the room.

With his arms around his chest, his slender figure was leaning on the table in the middle of the room, staring at the idyllic picture in a daze, wondering what he was thinking.

After he left, Shen Lingxi in the secret room was about to ask the dead souls if they had seen Yun Hongshan's soul——
Xie Zhangting was alone, stopping in front of the wooden frame against the north wall, and her empty hand reached into the black porcelain altar on the far left.

Shen Lingxi walked to her side, "It's him?"

Xie Zhangting nodded without hesitation, "It's him."

Shen Lingxi pondered for a moment, then reached out and swept all the porcelain altars on the wooden stand to the ground.

"Whoa..."

All the porcelain altars on the four rows of wooden frames from east to west, north to south, were all smashed by her.

An old bloody smell also permeated the secret room.

If the soul is sealed by the porcelain altar for a long time, it will not appear so quickly.

Rather than waiting here stupidly, it is better to take the opportunity to find out if Wuerda is still in the mansion.

"Please do me a favor." She begged, "Help me find the trace of Urda."

"I'm also looking for him." Liu Mei said angrily, "My old lady has been imprisoned for a few more days. When I find him, the little girl will definitely teach him a good lesson for me."

"That's natural." Shen Lingxi responded with a smile.

Liu Meiren took a few female ghosts and floated up.

Xie Zhanghua also wanted to contribute, nodded to Shen Lingxi, and left with them.

Only Xie Zhangting, squatting among the debris on the ground, looked at a bloody Jade Pendant, with tears welling up in her eyes.

Shen Lingxi walked to her side, the light of the wind lantern shone on the jade pendant.

In the middle of the jade pendant is engraved the word "Jin", which is soft and graceful, exuding an elegant charm.

Judging from the appearance of the jade pendant, if beads are dropped on the hollowed out place, it looks like a forbidden step worn by women.

"Since I was young, I have been naughty by nature. My mother gave me a nickname, Ah Jin, to remind me to be cautious in my words and deeds."

Xie Zhangting's voice was a little choked up, "When I made love with him, I gave him this jade pendant, and he said he would always wear it. Later, when I learned that he had a lot of wives and concubines, I thought everything in the past was fake. I never thought that after so many years, I could still see this jade pendant."

Shen Lingxi was silent for a few breaths upon hearing this.

She hesitated again and again, but still couldn't hold back, and said to her: "Actually, don't think too much... Do you know that he has five hairpins, including sapphire, white jade, gold, black jade, and a topaz hairpin?" , each hairpin is engraved with the name of a concubine's room, and I will wear whichever hairpin I go to see today, it's very affectionate."

"There are also jade ring fingers, and there are several of them. There are even more purses, and the patterns are not repeated. They are all named. If you don't have a name, how can you remember it?"

"He just loves to collect these things. Maybe it happened that when he died, he happened to be wearing this jade pendant, and it was just stained with his blood."

"Oh, by the way, I have a relative who is very similar to this one. When he was young, he liked to collect women's hearts. When he was old and his health was failing, he loved to recall his youthful time."

"Even if he often wears this jade pendant, it's probably not because he misses you, but because of this thing, he misses his flirtatious self."

Hearing these words, Xie Zhangting's throat was instantly choked up.

She raised her teary eyes to look at Shen Lingxi, the teardrop in the corner of her eye didn't fall, it didn't matter if it didn't fall, it just fell so embarrassingly.

Shen Lingxi nodded to her with certainty, "What I said is true, if you don't believe me, you can ask him later."

To be honest, back then, among the royal family of Yunguo, they couldn't find a good father.

"Who exactly are you?"

At this moment, a ghost with "tentacles" all over his body suddenly appeared from the jade pendant.

He hung his head upside down, stared at Shen Lingxi, and asked in a deep voice: "Why do you know about this king?"

Shen Lingxi: ...

have to.

Just now when she was in a hurry to go out, she forgot that she hadn't had time to put the body of this "former emperor uncle" back...
