Chapter 384 Heavenly Abyss
Honestly, sometimes Ji Ruyan thinks Lu Qingqing is really bold.
He wanted to pull her away again.
Stick your whole head in, just in case there are any traps, rats, snakes, or insects inside.
He was absolutely terrified of this dark and unknown environment.
He gripped Lu Qingqing's back fabric tightly, thinking that if something was wrong, he should pull her out quickly.
Lu Qingqing was confused and shook her head in dissatisfaction.
Why are you arresting her? You're choking her!
“Young master, your master has ordered you to release him,” Mo Lang said.
The two guards widened their eyes.
Brother Mo is amazing! He actually dared to order the young master around!
Has he gotten too big for his britches and lost sight of his place?
Unexpectedly, Ji Ruyan only glanced at Mo Lang and actually let go of his hand!
The two guards were filled with shock, confusion, and... a sense of inferiority in front of Mo Lang!
They didn't say anything nonsense in front of Brother Mo just now, did they?
Lu Qingqing listened for a while, and apart from the "thumping" and "clanging" sounds, there were only faint footsteps. It wasn't chaotic, and there weren't many people.
She deduced, "Laying the pipes is a huge project, it can't be far away, it's probably inside this mansion. They might be remnants of the Holy Physician Sect hiding there, hurry and find them!"
In the dead of night, all the guards were mobilized to search every nook and cranny.
Forbidden area, in the backyard.
Two dark figures were digging, panting heavily.
"Mother, I can't do it anymore, you dig it yourself!"
"You're so filial! Get up! Let's dig another half meter and then stop. I have a feeling Shi Zhao is lying to us!"
"I've known this for a long time! Let's stop digging!"
"Let's dig a little longer, just in case we actually find something. Hurry up, I think it's almost dawn!"
"Your Majesty, it's almost dawn! We've been discovered!"
What?
Jin Diandian, who was engrossed in her work, looked up and saw the courtyard filled with the light of fire—it was indeed…bright…
A group of guards rushed into the courtyard.
Lu Qingqing approached her like a star surrounded by admirers, "Jin Diandian, how did you know I was going to bury you while you were digging a hole in the middle of the night?"
"No, Qingqing!" Jin Diandian was so frightened that she dropped the shovel and climbed out of the pit.
"That's how it is! Ouyang Bingyan's third apprentice didn't die. He forced us to do it. He put a curse on those two soldiers and made them keep an eye on us. We didn't dare to disobey!"
Jin Diandian spoke with remarkable fluency, as if she had already rehearsed her lines many times in her mind.
Lu Qingqing nodded. She had already seen it; the two soldiers guarding the door had indeed been bewitched.
Neither of them saw who put the poison on them.
"What did he tell you to dig here?"
"He said there were gold and silver treasures, as well as land deeds, hidden here, and asked us to dig them out for him."
Now it seems that Shi Zhao was lying to them; there was nothing here at all!
He wanted Lu Qingqing to kill them to avenge Ouyang Bingyan!
But why is Lu Qingqing always so calm? She's not surprised at all by the news that Shi Zhao is still alive, which makes people uneasy.
"Um……"
Lu Qingqing looked at Jin Diandian.
She always felt that Jin Diandian was hiding some secret.
Her dull appearance always gives people the illusion that she's good for nothing but causing trouble.
Ignoring her appearance, if you think about it deeply, she grew up in the Holy Medicine Sect. Even if Ouyang Bingyan banished her to the fields, she couldn't possibly have become an outsider.
When she arrived at the Holy Healer's Gate, she didn't provide any useful information.
"Jin Diandian, you really like fields?"
"Who doesn't like fields! Qingqing, I'm your mother's junior sister, and we grew up together. I'm in charge of all the medicinal fields in the Holy Medicine Sect, so you should give me more."
"Fine, as long as you tell me where all the people the Holy Healer Sect killed went."
"I don't know! I really don't know!"
"That's a real shame. I won't give you the ginseng field either!"
As the saying goes, bad people are easy to guard against because at least they have a set of logic.
Foolish people are hard to guard against; you never know what unexpected foolish thing she might do next.
Since Jin Diandian cares most about Tian, she'll push her a bit and see what she does next.
Jin Diandian felt like the sky had fallen, and she stood there dumbfounded.
"Master, we've found it!" Mo Lang shouted.
The hollow spot, the location of another ceramic urn, is right under the wall, less than a meter from the pit dug by Jin Diandian and her son.
What important place is this that requires Ouyang Bingyan to eavesdrop at night?
Behind it was that bloody slaughterhouse, and in front of it was a stone wall.
Where were the bodies of those who were killed taken?
Lu Qingqing stood by the wall.
The torches all converged, clearly illuminating every line and pattern on the wall.
Then she noticed a tiny scratch.
Lu Qingqing's heart started pounding.
That's a pointer with a downward-pointing arrow!
It was drawn by Dad!
The people here use compass needles to indicate directions. This simple arrow indicator was only drawn by her family members, who learned it from her!
My father has been here, he might be here!
Has he met with some misfortune?
"Smash it! Smash this wall!"
"Qingqing!"
Ji Ruyan brought someone over.
"Shi Zhao! You bastard, you lied to us! There's nothing you hid here!"
Jin Diandian wished she could kill Shi Zhao. If she hadn't fallen for his trick, her ginseng field would still be intact!
Now Lu Qingqing won't give her anything!
Without land, how can she survive?
Shi Zhao ignored Jin Diandian and, with one leg broken, was thrown to the ground by Ji Ruyan like a dead dog.
He stared at Lu Qingqing with a fierce and pathetic look in his eyes, like a stray dog.
"Did you remove the curse from that bitch, causing her to betray me?"
"You've never been of one mind, so how can you betray me? You're a villain who stole someone else's wife, do you really think you can be sincere?" Lu Qingqing mocked fiercely.
Even before Shi Zhao's body could be found during the cleanup of the battlefield, Ji Ruyan had already told her to be careful.
Later, his so-called wife revealed everything to them.
Knowing that he had hidden a large amount of treasure in his residence and might risk danger to retrieve it, Lu Qingqing had already ordered people to stake out the place.
Shi Zhao sent Jin Diandian here to dig, hoping to distract the guards.
Lu Qingqing is currently in a very unstable emotional state and is filled with hostility.
She took the sword from the guard and walked over.
Shi Zhao tried to back away, but Ji Ruyan stepped on his legs.
However, he was still able to twist his upper body, and Lu Qingqing plunged her sword into his palm.
"ah--"
"Tell me, did a night soil collector come here a few days ago?"
Shi Zhao let out a howl and gritted his teeth, his forehead veins bulging as he endured the pain.
His scarlet eyes were filled with hatred.
"Yes! That old man was courting death, sneaking in at night to investigate the secrets of the Holy Healer Sect. My master overheard him using telepathy and killed him!"
Where is the body?
"Hahahaha..." Shi Zhao laughed in a distorted voice.
You'll never find it!
Ji Ruyan crushed his broken leg with her foot.
Lu Qingqing pulled out her sword and plunged it into the bone gaps of his hand again and again. When her right hand was raw, she went to stab her left hand.
A piercing sound echoed throughout the mansion.
Jin Diandian and Jin Duoduo have already hidden in a corner.
This was the first time they had seen such a terrifying side of Lu Qingqing.
How could she be Shan Yueming's daughter? Shan Yueming doesn't act like that!
It's better for her to stay calm. It's good that she's calm!
Shi Zhao finally couldn't hold on any longer.
"Tell me—I'll tell you, I'll tell you! You, you promised to let me go... I'll tell you everything..."
Lu Qingqing's eyes were filled with violence, yet her voice was eerily calm.
"Okay, I agree."
Shi Zhao had no time to care about anything else, and shouted in anguish, "In Tianyuan! All the dead have been thrown into Tianyuan!"
Where is Tianyuan?
"exist--"
"Boom—" A muffled, trembling rumble.
The stone wall in front of us sank down.
