Zhang Shantong was patrolling nearby at night and happened to hear something moving in the study, so he hurried over to check.
I thought it was Li Genmiao's spy who had sneaked into Longhu Mountain again, but I didn't expect to come over and take a look. Oh, there was an unexpected harvest.
Although Zhang Shantong regarded Yan Shouyi as his godson, he still had to remind him of certain things. He coughed and said:
"Shouyi, you are about to be a father. What are you doing here at night when you are not staying at your residence? And Yi Ren, since you have entered our Dragon Tiger Mountain, you should practice hard and pursue the Tao with all your heart. Although our Dragon Tiger Mountain Taoist priests are not prohibited from marrying and having children, nor are they allowed to have emotions and desires, but you should choose a normal place at least. This is the study room of the Heavenly Master. If others find out, it will be offensive!"
From what Zhang Shantong meant, it was obvious that he had misunderstood the relationship between Yan Shouyi and Liu Yiren.
The two of them waved their hands quickly, and Yan Shouyi explained: "Grandpa, you misunderstood. The reason why we are here is because we suspect Yu Luming..."
"Stop it!" Zhang Shantong said seriously, "I discovered it when I discovered it. What's the big deal? If a man dares to do what he does, why would he use the Heavenly Master as an excuse?"
"It's not an excuse, it's true!"
Liu Yiren pointed to the secret passage that appeared and said, "If you don't believe me, look, this is the secret passage we just discovered!"
Only then did Zhang Shantong notice the narrow secret passage that was not too conspicuous among the pile of ancient books.
He frowned and touched his beard: "What is going on?"
Zhang Shantong was an elder that Yan Shouyi trusted and admired. Now that he had been discovered, he had nothing to hide, so he told the truth about what happened.
The most important thing is that Yan Shouyi is worried that Zhang Shantong will misunderstand him and Liu Yiren. Lin Zitong is about to give birth, so he must not cause any trouble now.
After listening to Yan Shouyi's narration, Zhang Shantong's eyebrows almost turned into twists.
After living for so many years, Zhang Shantong is very clear in his heart. Even if Yu Luming has nothing to do with the Imperial Master regarding today's matter, he must still be hiding an ulterior secret.
This does not mean that the Celestial Master cannot have secrets, but as the head of the Taoist tradition, the Celestial Master must have a firm stance. If he has any secrets that betray the common people, then he is not worthy of being a Celestial Master.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Shantong directly chose to join Yan Shouyi's team.
"Come on, let's go down together and find out!"
With the addition of Zhang Shantong, Yan Shouyi and Liu Yiren have nothing to worry about.
Yan Shouyi left Sanyuan in the study and led the way down the secret passage with a flashlight.
Liu Yiren and Zhang Shantong followed closely behind.
The secret passage was built not long ago, and the soil was still new. Yu Luming used a formation to hide the entrance, not a mechanism.
The three of them walked through the long and narrow secret passage and got a rough feel. The secret passage did not lead to the underground, but to other buildings near the study.
After walking about a few dozen meters underground, Yan Shouyi found that he had reached the end and there was a stone door in front of him.
Without much effort, he pushed the stone door open.
Behind the stone gate was a dry well. There was still a gap of several meters between the bottom of the well and the stone gate, but this gap was nothing to Yan Shouyi and the others.
Jumping down into the dry well, there was another stone door at the bottom of the well. From the crack of the stone door, a faint light came out.
Yan Shouyi could feel that there was someone behind the stone gate. This is probably the end of their investigation.
The truth is behind this door.
The deepest secret in Yu Luming's heart is also here.
When Liu Yiren and Zhang Shantong followed, Yan Shou took a deep breath and pushed open the stone door.
This is a small secret room. There is a yellow light bulb hanging on the top of the secret room. Below it is a simple wooden bed with a quilt on it and a person lying under the quilt.
There were some leftovers on the table, and several white robes hanging on the hangers next to them.
Who is the person lying on the bed? Is he the national master?
Yan Shouyi was extremely vigilant, ready to attack the person on the bed at any time, and also ready to call Long Feicheng over at any time.
At this time, Liu Yiren noticed a pair of shoes placed in front of the bed.
She tugged on the corner of Yan Shouyi's clothes, and then pointed to the bed. Yan Shouyi couldn't help but froze when he saw the pair of shoes.
These shoes are only size 36 at most, which are women's sizes, not men's.
If the person lying on the bed is a national master, he must not be wearing such small shoes.
In other words, the person on the bed is not a national master, but a woman.
The woman on the bed heard the movement, turned over slowly, and called in the direction of Yan Shouyi and the others: "Son, are you here?"
Son? !
Yan Shouyi and the others were all stunned in place.
The only one who can come here is Yu Luming, so the "son" called by the woman on the bed can only be Yu Luming!
Is this person Yu Luming’s mother? !
The woman on the bed was middle-aged, very ordinary-looking, with sallow skin and an out-of-shape figure. She looked like a very ordinary rural woman.
It is worth mentioning that her eyes are cloudy and she seems to be blind.
Otherwise, he would have recognized that the person who came was not Yu Luming.
Yan Shouyi was a little overwhelmed for a moment and did not dare to say anything for fear of scaring the woman in front of him.
No movement was heard, but the woman clearly felt that someone had entered the secret room. A look of horror appeared on her face, and she tried her best to control her fear:
"Who are you? Where is my son? What did you do to him?"
Just when the three of them were at a loss, a voice came from behind them:
"Mom, I'm fine. These are my friends. I'll bring them to visit you."
The three of them immediately turned around and saw Yu Luming, who was wearing plain clothes, falling lightly from the mouth of the well.
Yan Shou looked at Yu Luming and opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
Yu Luming sighed and patted Yan Shouyi's shoulder: "I didn't want to hide it from you, but I didn't know how to deal with it. I really didn't expect you to find out so soon."
Listening to Yu Luming's tone, he thinks the whole thing seems to be a shame for me?
Yan Shouyi didn't understand. It was me who suspected him, so why did he feel guilty?
But immediately Yan Shouyi thought of many questions.
Yu Luming is an orphan. He was adopted by the Heavenly Master since he was a child and grew up on Longhu Mountain.
Everything was fine, why did he suddenly have a mother again?
Even if he found his long-lost mother, why would he hide her here again?
I originally thought that the truth was behind the stone door, but after opening the stone door, more questions lingered in Yan Shouyi's mind.
Yu Luming passed through the three people and came to the middle-aged woman's side, feeding her a glass of water.
"Mom, you rest here first, I'll go entertain my friends, I'll be back soon."
"Okay, son, don't work too hard. Mom is waiting for you here." The middle-aged woman replied kindly.
Yu Luming patted his mother's back, stood up and motioned to Yan Shouyi and the others to leave the dry well first.
Everyone jumped out of the dry well one after another, but they stared at each other, and no one knew what to say.
