Old Man Xuanji smiled and nodded at Su Yue, "You are the smart one." Then he opened Duan Tianya's hand and said, "This door can only be opened for the teacher."
Then he scratched his palm with the knife, and blood immediately poured out, dripping into the groove drop by drop. The lines in the groove were gradually stained with the blood of the old man Xuanji. Soon, there seemed to be the sound of a mechanism turning inside the stone door, and the old man Xuanji immediately retracted his hand. Su Yue immediately took out a handkerchief to cover his master's wound, and quickly applied medicine and bandaged it.
At this time, there was movement on the stone door and it slowly opened. Because it was heavy and had not been opened for a long time, the sound was particularly harsh.
After all the doors were opened, several people couldn't help but lower their heads and cover their mouths and noses because of the dust.
Duan Tianya was the first to enter the stone gate and took a look, "Master, Xiao Wu, come in, no problem."
As soon as the three of them entered, the stone door was immediately closed. Duan Tianya wanted to stop him but it was too late, "This? Master?"
The old man Xuanji waved his hand and said nothing happened.
The interior space was very large, and as soon as they entered, all the lamps on the stone walls lit up instantly.
The three of them did not pause. Old Man Xuanji walked at the front. Su Yue and Duan Tianya followed their master, looking left and right along the way.
Duan Tianya approached Su Yue, "Xiao Wu, why do I feel like Master has been here before? Otherwise, why would he be so familiar?"
Su Yue made a silent gesture to him and followed the old man Xuanji silently.
In addition to the stone door just now, there are still many small secret rooms inside. Old Man Xuanji walked to a secret room, found the switch very skillfully, opened the door, and went in to see that it was filled with gold and silver treasures, which instantly blinded their eyes. , Duan Tianya was the happiest, "I'm getting rich, I'm getting rich, Xiaowu, quickly collect all these things, let's go back and share them equally, hahaha, share them equally."
Su Yue did not take action this time. Instead, she glanced at her master and found that he had no expression on his face. He walked directly to a closed box in the innermost place, opened it, took out a jade key from inside, and stared at it. For a long time.
"Master?" Duan Tianya saw something was wrong with his master's expression and called him worriedly.
Old Man Xuanji immediately raised his head and said to Su Yue with a smile, "You should keep all these things. Then you brothers and sisters will divide them up. They are all external things, so leave them alone."
Su Yue pursed her lips, and finally followed his master's request and put everything into the space.
At this moment, Duan Tianya lost all the excitement he had just seen the gold and silver treasures. He always felt that his master's mood was not right and he was very worried.
They followed Old Man Xuanji to several secret rooms, which were filled with yellow and white objects. Su Yue took all of them into the space. Finally, calculating the space in the mountain, they should have reached the bottom of the tomb, where there was still a stone door. However, there was obviously a keyhole on it. Old Man Xuanji inserted the jade key he just took into it, turned it twice, and the stone door opened.
Su Yue went in and took a look. It looked like an ancestral hall. There were rows of memorial tablets in the innermost part. Old Man Xuanji stood in front of the tablets and fell into deep thought again.
"This is the tablet of the royal family of Daxia Kingdom two hundred years ago, and it is also the clan member who was the teacher."
Su Yue guessed a few things, but she was not surprised, but Duan Tianya felt as if he had heard some huge secret, his eyes widened, "Master... Master? Are you also a descendant of the former royal family? "
Old Man Xuanji nodded with a smile, his expression a little vicissitudes of life, and he sat down on the stone steps nonchalantly, "Master, let me tell you a story."
Su Yue and Duan Tianya looked at each other, then sat down on the stone steps and listened quietly.
"The Kingdom of Daxia was destroyed two hundred years ago, and all members of the royal family died under the butcher's knife because they wanted to eradicate the roots. Of course, this is understandable. After all, the emperor of Daxia at that time was a bloodthirsty and cruel person. Under his governance, , the people are panicked, the people are in dire straits, and all forces are ready to take action. The disintegration of the Great Xia Kingdom is also expected. However, what no one knows is that the eldest prince is still alive, and his concubine has just given birth to a son for him. , in the chaos, the wet nurse replaced her child with her own, saving this royal bloodline. It was precisely because of this royal bloodline that everything happened later."
"In the following decades, the remaining forces of Daxia Kingdom have been assisting this royal descendant, and slowly, they have gained some power. After several decades, this royal descendant's descendants have withered away, leaving only one child, that is, I."
"It happened so long ago that I can barely remember it. It seems that starting from the age of three, I can only rest for two hours a day. The rest of the time is spent studying, the art of war, etiquette, the way to be a king, etc. Day after day, I have no friends and no other hobbies. In addition to studying, I practice martial arts. Even my biological mother cannot see me at will, because they think that women are women. In addition to teaching me weakness, there is nothing. It was useless. But my mother missed me, so she secretly came to see me. I was very happy. I remember clearly that when she secretly saw me for the first time, her excited and happy eyes and her loving look were my For the first time, I experienced what it feels like to have a mother."
"Maybe because she knew I was too lonely, the second time she came secretly, she brought me a little rabbit, a white little rabbit. I cherished it very much and kept it secretly. Besides learning and practicing, I had this little rabbit. Being with a rabbit means that my mother is also accompanying me. However, the good times did not last long. My father discovered this rabbit. He threw it to death in front of me and told me that this kind of thing only It would make me weak and most useless. I was punished with a fifty-fifty ring, deprived of food for three days, and then locked up with the dead rabbit."
"I thought that the matter would be over here. I was punished, beaten, and killed. However, what I didn't expect was that my good father would be so cruel and directly killed my mother. Well, that was my mother, the person who gave birth to my dearest relative in ten months of pregnancy. She actually killed her like a rabbit without saying anything to me. By the time I found her body, her body had already been Dumped in a mass grave.”
"When I was only seven years old, I sneaked away to the mass grave alone. When I found my mother's body, hahaha, she was the person beside me after all. He cut out her tongue and dug out her body so cruelly. Eyes." After decades, old man Xuanji's eyes were still red when he recalled the situation at that time.
Su Yue and Duan Tianya felt uncomfortable looking at them. Their master had always been a worldly master who did not compete with the world. He could deal with everything indifferently. They had never seen him show such emotions.
