Zhan Yuankai had barely begun speaking when Fan Xing interrupted him.
Qin Luo didn't think much of it; it was simply about activating the divine stone and finding a water source.
I'm no longer curious about the stone tablet. After all, Fan Xing is right; saving money is more important!
Jingming, however, invited Magistrate Zhan aside and said a few words to him.
They then followed the two spirits and one person towards the cemetery!
Magistrate Zhan stood there, completely bewildered.
"Is it just my imagination? Why does it sound like Lord Kamishiro's voice is a little guilty!"
He then beckoned a constable to the inn to relay Jingming's message to the temple keeper.
Fan Xing felt extremely guilty at this moment, and inwardly cursed...
Luckily, I interrupted her quickly. If Luo Luo knew that this merit tablet was only created because I deliberately teased her behind her back, she would be in trouble.
I bet she's going to explode again. Luckily I have a clever brain! Hahaha!
Xia Beinian could tell from Fan Xing's expression that she had done something naughty again.
He smiled at her with a look of doting affection.
She muttered softly, "The stars are still so mischievous!"
The two people and their two souls soon arrived at Fan Xing's grave.
Qin Luo originally thought it was just an ordinary grave mound.
When Xia Beinian removed the illusion, he took another look and, wow!
The mounds in front were used to conceal the truth.
That desolate mountain behind is where Fan Xing is truly buried.
Xia Beinian described the general layout of the mountains, and Qin Luo was puzzled.
"What's the difference between that and a royal tomb?"
Xia Beinian sketched out the entire landscape of the barren mountain.
"This entire mountain has been hollowed out. As long as my people and I don't tell anyone, no one will be able to tell that this is the true resting place of the stars!"
Xia Beinian waved his hand, opened the mechanism, and went inside.
The adjacent mountain wall collapsed, revealing the entrance.
The further Qin Luo went, the more amazed she became, and she couldn't help but recall what Wu Hua had said.
"Never underestimate the wisdom of the ancients!" Indeed!
Qin Luo asked Xia Beinian in surprise.
"Brother-in-law, how long have you been digging this grave? This entrance is amazing! What are those lights on the walls? Are they luminous pearls? The ground is reflecting light, could it be jade?"
Xia Beinian felt embarrassed by Qin Luo's address.
“Xiao Luo, this was not originally intended to be a tomb. My ancestors were quite skilled in construction and mechanical arts, and our family was quite well-off. Before Xingxing was captured and taken to the palace, I guessed that this day would come, so I used the strength of the whole clan to dig out this hiding place!”
He sighed as he said this.
"Who knew that she would be arrested six months before the project was completed? It's shameful to admit! If I had finished repairing this place sooner, she wouldn't have had to suffer in the palace imprisoned by that tyrannical emperor..."
Fan Xing held Xia Beinian's hand to comfort him, while Qin Luo was completely confused by their actions.
"Suffering? Being served the best food and drink every day, is that considered suffering?"
Xia Beinian nodded.
"Of course, Xingxing is lively and loves freedom by nature. Isn't it suffering to be locked up in those square palace walls?"
Qin Luo pointed around.
"Didn't you also want to hide here with her? It's true that this place is very luxurious, but there's no freedom here either?"
Xia Beinian didn't speak, but simply opened another mechanism.
Qin Luo understood immediately.
This isn't a place without freedom; this is the road to freedom!
The inner mountain walls were removed, revealing numerous interconnected corridors.
Xia Beinian introduced them to the places each corridor led to…
