The two guards had already made way for him. Mu Yuan held his head high and had an arrogant attitude. I have decided to take revenge. No one can stop him.
Li Huaiyun followed Mu Yuan, and they entered the Xiangning Palace one after another. However, what surprised them was that the palace maid who had just let them in remained motionless by the gate until the two of them entered. Then, close the door directly.
This action aroused Li Huaiyun's vigilance. It seemed that there must be fraud in it.
He looked around cautiously.
This Concubine Rong's bedroom is simpler than the previous one, but the layout of this place is quite puzzling!
The layout of the coffin board is very typical. This Feng Shui layout, in addition to having a very good destiny, at other times, having this layout will undoubtedly make the place deserted and the family will be ruined.
Concubine Rong seems to be really alone. She has no heirs with the emperor for so many years, which is really confusing.
Li Huaiyun looked towards the woods on both sides of the road and found that the courtyard of the palace was full of locust trees. This plant is inherently yin, and it is a plant with excessive yin energy.
In addition, I also saw other types of plants, such as peach trees and willows, which all have a common characteristic, that is, they are very yin-y.
The strange thing is that although there are many such plants planted in the palace, the yin energy in the entire Xiangning Palace is not very heavy.
Li Huaiyun was a little confused about this, so he used the Qi Watching Technique to see if there was any difference in the palace in front.
An astonishing scene appeared in his eyes. Above the palace in front, although there was a large amount of Yin Qi gathering, it formed a special shape.
After Li Huaiyun looked carefully, he discovered that the appearance was somewhat similar to an ordinary Buddha statue, and at the top, a golden light similar to the Buddha's light could be seen.
He raised his head and found that there were actually some talismans and bells hanging on the two locust trees. As long as the breeze blew gently, he could hear the crisp sound and the sound of the talismans floating.
In the very center of the palace, there is a yellow mist that is constantly rolling and spreading. This kind of aura is not possessed by ordinary people.
Why does the entire Xiangning Palace look so colorful from the outside? But here is this scene, which is so strange!
After they passed through the garden, they came to the location of the palace. Just when they were about to enter, many figures suddenly appeared beside the tree trunks on both sides. They had looks of hatred on their faces and looked at them inadvertently. Go, it's really like a ghost that suddenly appeared.
Under a row of locust trees outside the door, some palace maids and eunuchs stood close to the tree trunks.
Their eyes were distracted, their limbs were limp on the tree trunk, and their bodies seemed to be floating.
The servants with gloomy, dead-like faces stood there silently, with one or half of their heads exposed, or half of their bodies falling to the ground. These people seemed to have been drained of their energy.
Mu Yuan pulled Li Huaiyun's arm, "Have you seen those people?"
"I see, there is something not right about the mental state of these people!"
"Yeah! It always feels like it's going against us."
"Not necessarily, they may have suffered some kind of injury to become like this."
They arrived at the main entrance of the palace, and Mu Yuan knocked hard on the door, feeling slightly excited.
Li Huaiyun stood aside and watched over her as much as possible. As soon as he noticed something was wrong, he would immediately stop her to prevent Mu Yuan from acting too aggressively.
"Come in! Stranger, you are welcome to come back here at any time," the voice coming from inside seemed hoarse and dull.
Mu Yuan pushed open the door of the palace. On both sides of the door, there were two-meter-high Buddha statues. The two Buddha statues were made of the same material, but their appearance was not very similar.
The Buddha statue is made of stone sculptures. It is brown in color and somewhat resembles human skin. The clothes on the body, the accessories on the head, and the gestures are also quite unusual.
There is a large area of yellow on the clothes, and the Five Buddha crown on the head is actually some kind of bird, and the gestures are also in the opposite posture.
The eyes of the Buddha statue were painted bright red, glaring at the people below.
Li Huaiyun looked around, then pinched his chin hard. What kind of Buddha statue is this? Could it be the Tantric Sect of the Western Regions?
"Don't you think the Buddha statue here is strange?" Mu Yuan asked,
"It's very strange! But I can't say why it's strange!"
"It must not be an illusion!"
"No! You remember that temple in the north of Kyoto!"
"Um!"
"Maybe it has something to do with that."
Mu Yuan nodded, "I think so too!"
They walked inside and came to the hall of the palace. The wooden bridge lay across the lake, with blue water filling the middle.
There is a window opened in the middle of the top. The sun shines in from one side.
A hunched man wearing a light yellow monk's robe sat at the end of the bridge. Opposite him was a wooden object similar to a spiritual tablet.
There are many Buddha statues of different styles on it. Many of them have very different appearances, but one thing is the same, that is, they have a ferocious face, a weird body shape, and they look cruel and fierce.
"You just want to see me?" The man's voice was hoarse, but still relatively clear.
Mu Yuan shouted loudly, "Concubine Rong, do you still remember me?"
"It's the wooden kite from Qihua Palace!"
Concubine Rong slowly stood up from the ground, then lowered her head and turned to look at them.
When she turned around, Li Huaiyun and Mu Yuan were really startled.
This Concubine Rong's face was full of wrinkles, as if her face had been carved by a carving knife.
Moreover, her head was bald, and her thin face made her look particularly ferocious and terrifying!
Seeing Concubine Rong's appearance, Mu Yuan suddenly felt a little pity in her heart, "I'm afraid the empress has such a dignified appearance that she doesn't need to care about the world anymore!"
Concubine Rong's attitude seemed quite indifferent, and she didn't take her words to heart, "Yes! The poor nun has devoted himself to practicing Buddhism and has broken away from the world."
Mu Yuan shouted angrily, "You said it doesn't matter, so it doesn't matter?"
"The past Concubine Rong is dead!" Concubine Rong clasped her hands together and bowed deeply, "I hope you two can understand and stop disturbing me."
Mu Yuan smiled and said, "If you have done evil things and you can wash away your sins by becoming a monk, then where is the justice of this world!"
"The laws of heaven are at their ease, and there is no need for the benefactor to ask for them."
Mu Yuan was speechless for a moment, a little annoyed and angry.
When Li Huaiyun saw this, he laughed calmly. Compared with the empress who devoted herself to Buddhism, the ideological gap between this woman and the empress was too big to argue.
"The laws of nature are there, but if no one follows them, someone needs to uphold them."
When Concubine Rong heard this, she lowered her head and kept reciting Amitabha silently!
Obviously the other party's words left her speechless.
Mu Yuan glanced at Li Huaiyun with a soft look. Fortunately, there is this guy, otherwise I wouldn't be able to say anything.
After a while, Concubine Rong said, "The poor nun knew that his sins were serious, so he became a monk and practiced Buddhism, hoping to use Buddhism to wash away his sins! The past has nothing to do with me! I hope the donor will make it happen."
"You are too simplistic in your thinking. This has nothing to do with you and everything to do with me!" Mu Yuan shouted loudly. This woman looked like it had nothing to do with her. It was so annoying. She became a monk, so she Without those previous sins, how could she say these words? She wished she could attack this monk directly.
Li Huaiyun thought to himself, this woman said she was a monk, but in fact her motives were not pure at all. It was just that she didn't understand that the foolish king didn't care about such behavior at all. Could it be that there was something against this woman? Have to turn a blind eye.
Li Huaiyun stretched out his hand and pulled Mu Yuan's sleeve, and said softly, "Don't talk about these things first, and ask about the situation clearly!"
Mu Yuan glanced at him and then calmed down, "Concubine Rong, since you have become a monk and have nothing to do with the past, you can always tell us what you did more than ten years ago!"
"Those things!" Concubine Rong's whole body was trembling, and her eyes became dull. "They were all sinful things! I don't want to remember them anymore, so just let those things pass!"
Li Huaiyun crossed his arms in front of himself. He had great opinions on this statement. Since he has nothing to do with the past, will the things he did in the past still affect him?
"This shows that Concubine Rong, you have not given up at all. The so-called letting go is just escaping!"
"No! No!" Concubine Rong's hands trembled and her voice became a little sharp, "I didn't run away from the past!"
"Since there is no escape, please tell me about the past and stop talking about such nonsense as breaking off from the world!"
Concubine Rong turned her head away and said nothing.
Li Huaiyun said to Mu Yuan, "As expected, she just chose to escape everything in the past in the name of becoming a monk."
"You better know your stuff, otherwise you'll be deceived by this woman!"
"Keep asking! Make sure she says something."
Mu Yuan stood in front of Concubine Rong, "Did you kill my mother?"
Concubine Rong calmed down her emotions, clasped her hands together, and bowed, "These are things in the past, and I don't remember them anymore. Maybe they are, maybe they are not."
But after a while, a ferocious look suddenly appeared on her face. It passed by in a flash, and then she regained her composure, looking calm and pitiful. "I'm like this now, and you still don't want to Let me go?"
"As long as you make things clear, we will let you go! If you continue to be stubborn, don't blame us!"
"Speak clearly! What exactly do you want to know?"
"Why did you kill my mother and that maid?"
"That woman couldn't compete with me, so she harmed my reputation at will. I was despised by the emperor because of her."
Li Huaiyun immediately asked, "Did you do those things alone? Or was there someone else helping you?"
"I do not know I do not know!"
"Is there someone in black robes secretly helping?"
"No, I did it alone!"
"Then how did you kill the maidservant? Why is her body inside the tree trunk?"
"I..., I don't know!"
The look on Concubine Rong's face had become quite impatient. She looked at Mu Yuan in front of her and seemed to recall what happened more than ten years ago. The corners of her mouth kept twitching, and then she muttered silently, "She was the one who harmed me first. She harmed me first!"
She seemed to be unable to suppress the manic feeling in her heart now.
Mu Yuan was just about to speak and continue to ask, but this woman pretended to be crazy, turned around and giggled, and walked to other parts of the palace with crazy steps.
Anger arose in her heart, and she wanted to step forward immediately and slap the woman awake.
"This woman looks so good at pretending!"
