Chapter 32: The Suspicion of the Dragon Girl
On the afternoon of that day, Yin Zhiping went to the ancient tomb from the secret room where Wang Chongyang was in seclusion during his lifetime. When he arrived at the ancient tomb, he sneaked into the bend where the kitchen and the canteen were located in front, took out Li Mochou's handkerchief from his arms and threw it on the ground, and then returned to the stone room where the two of them met quietly.
He had come many times, and the time was already pinched quite accurately. After reaching the corner, he glanced into the kitchen and saw from the open kitchen door that Grandma Sun and Sister Zhao were already busy with lunch in the kitchen. It was estimated that it would be time for dinner in a short while.
Sure enough, not long after he left the handkerchief, Sister Zhao left the kitchen and went forward to call Li Mochou, Xiaolongnu and Hong Lingbo to have the meal, while Grandma Sun opened the stone door of the canteen opposite, lit the candle, and delivered the meal inside.
After Grandma Sun almost finished delivering it, Sister Zhao also called Li Mochou and the other two to come over. Grandma Sun gave Li Mochou and the other three left the food for Li Mochou and the other three to eat in the canteen, and she and Sister Zhao and the other two used it in the kitchen. After the meal, Li Mochou and the other two left to return to the front room, while Grandma Sun and Sister Zhao came to clean up the dishes.
After Li Mochou left the canteen, he took a look at the bend behind. Because Xiaolongnu and others were still there, he didn't go over to see if there was a handkerchief that Yin Zhiping had left behind. She was afraid of causing Xiaolongnu and others to suspicion, so she didn't dare to use the old routine of deliberately grinding the food and selling it until the end. So after using the trick that was last eaten several times, he kept eating as usual, followed Xiaolongnu and Hong Lingbo back. Then she calculated the time and waited for Grandma Sun and Sister Zhao to clean up the kitchen and the canteen and left, before she returned to the canteen. Go back to the bend to check whether Yin Zhiping had thrown his handkerchief.
It was still the same today. Li Mochou returned to the room. He lit a sandalwood and calculated the time accordingly. When a stick of incense burned out, she waited for a while before she got up and opened the stone door in her room. She looked outside and saw no one, then opened it and walked out, then turned around and closed the door, and walked backwards.
The passages in the ancient tomb are well connected and there are many routes. Li Mochou got the general route map of the ancient tomb given by Yin Zhiping. In addition, since he returned to the ancient tomb last year, he has lived there for more than three months and has already figured out all the roads, mechanisms, etc. in the ancient tomb.
Since she started having a secret meeting with Yin Zhiping in the tomb, she has found a safe passage. Although it is a little more roundabout and takes a lot of detours and long roads to the cafeteria, it is very remote. Few people walk, so it is much safer.
She left the passage leading to her room and turned to the remote and safe passage. She had just left the passage entrance and turned to the fork next to her. Suddenly, a white figure turned out from the other fork behind her. It was Xiaolongnu.
Xiaolongnu looked for her because she had something to do. She didn't want to leave before she could get into her room. As soon as she turned here, she saw her apricot yellow Taoist robe and just turned into another fork and disappeared.
Xiaolongnu didn't expect to bump into her senior sister Li Mochou here, and she was stunned for a moment. When she opened her mouth and wanted to shout again, Li Mochou's figure had already turned into another fork. She came back to her senses and identified the passage where Li Mochou turned into. It was the very remote place. She couldn't help but feel strange and said in her heart: "Senior Sister, where are she going?"
Thinking of the past month since the end of last year to the beginning of this year, she has gone to look for Li Mochou after lunch, but Li Mochou is always not in the room and doesn’t know where she went. She always doesn’t come back until nightfall.
She also asked Li Mochou later, and Li Mochou always said that he had gone out to the mountains to relax, or practiced martial arts outside, etc. Anyway, he had gone out to the tomb, not in the tomb. She knew that Li Mochou was not willing to be content with loneliness, and it was good to be able to return to the ancient tomb. Of course, it was mainly due to the merits of the Taoist Yin Zhiping. So Li Mochou said that he would go out to relax every day, but Xiaolongnu did not suspect that she had her. Moreover, during that period, she did not find Li Mochou in the tomb.
But today I happened to run into a very remote passage, which made her feel suspicious. The passage did not lead to the main entrance outside the tomb, but instead led to the back of the ancient tomb. Suddenly, I felt a move in my heart and said to myself: "Is it because my senior sister who discovered the "Jade Girl Heart Sutra" engraved in the stone chamber behind the tomb? In the past month, she has left the tomb and went out to relax. In fact, she has been secretly sneaking behind and secretly learning the "Jade Girl Heart Sutra"?"
After this guess, I couldn't help but want to figure out what Li Mochou was going to do. With a move under her feet, she also turned into the passage where Li Mochou entered and followed her secretly. She turned around for many thoughts in her mind very quickly. In fact, it was not long before, and Li Mochou's figure had just turned into the passage and disappeared in her sight. She followed into the passage and immediately saw Li Mochou's figure in front of her moving forward more than two meters away.
She slowed down a little, and only walked quietly behind her when she could see Li Mochou, so that when Li Mochou looked back, she could withdraw from Li Mochou's sight at any time and prevent Li Mochou from discovering it.
Regarding the current skills of the senior sisters, Li Mochou is still better than his junior sister Xiao Longnu. But Xiao Longnu has now mastered the internal and external skills of the "Jade Girl Heart Sutra". Although her skills are slightly inferior to Li Mochou, she is more swift and agile when using light skills. Xiao Longnu is now careful and follows Li Mochou quietly, without making any sound. She is like a ray of light smoke without any weight, and she is not surprised to touch the dust.
Li Mochou walked in front, but he didn't even notice that Xiaolongnu was quietly following behind. First, when it comes to light skills, Xiaolongnu is indeed more clever than her. Second, she has been walking in this remote passage this month and has never made any mistakes. After a long time, she has not lost her vigilance.
Not long after walking forward, she arrived at a fork in the road. Li Mochou turned into a more remote passage. The passage here was even more remote, and someone unexpectedly discovered it. In addition, she was a little anxious. After entering this passage, she immediately carried out her light skills and rushed forward.
When Xiaolongnu saw her senior sister suddenly exerting her light skills, she couldn't help but feel shocked and said to herself, "Did the senior sister find me?" But she never saw Li Mochou looking back, and was a little stunned, but she also used her light skills to follow her.
After using the light skills and practicing, Li Mochou suddenly stopped. Xiaolongnu also stopped behind him. She grew up in the ancient tomb since she was a child and was very familiar with the ancient tomb. Except for the secret path left by Wang Chongyang, she could be said to be as familiar with other places as well. At this time, she stopped and looked carefully. She immediately recognized that the place where Li Mochou was located was not far from the kitchen and the canteen. It was after a turn behind the passage between the kitchen and the canteen, and then turned around from Li Mochou and you could see the stone door of the kitchen and the canteen.
After recognizing the place, Xiaolongnu couldn't help but say even more strangely in her heart: "Strange, senior sister, what are she going to do after going back here after such a big circle?"
After thinking about it, she suddenly saw Li Mochou bent down and picked up something from the ground. Xiaolongnu looked carefully with her eyes. But she saw that it was a white silk handkerchief with flowers embroidered on it. She suddenly said to herself, "Sister Sister, is she here to pick up her handkerchief?" But then she immediately realized something was wrong, and shook her head and said to herself, "No, I remember that she had never walked back to this bend during the meal, so why did she fall down the handkerchief here? And she wanted to pick up the handkerchief openly from the shortcut you often walk. Why do you have to secretly go around such a remote passage so far, as if you were afraid of being discovered! There must be something hidden in my mind that I don't know. What exactly is she going to do?" She was even more curious and strange about Li Mochou's behavior, and wanted to figure out what Li Mochou was doing.
The kitchen and the canteen are where several people often come from in the ancient tomb. There is a torch on the wall of the passage illuminating it. Although Li Mochou was turned around, a faint fire came. After Li Mochou picked up the handkerchief, he turned around. The faint fire light in front illuminated it. Xiaolongnu saw that Li Mochou looked very happy and had a smile on her face.
Xiaolongnu felt even more surprised, "I just picked up the handkerchief. Why is she so happy with her senior sister? Is that handkerchief very important to her?"
She thought to herself, but her eyes were watching Li Mochou in the dark where she was hiding, and she had never left for a moment. At this time, she saw Li Mochou put away his handkerchief and put it in her sleeves, and continued to perform her light skills, running towards the back of the ancient tomb.
Xiaolongnu followed closely behind quietly. She thought that Li Mochou was walking behind the ancient tomb to go to the stone chamber engraved with the "Jade Girl Heart Sutra". Unexpectedly, Li Mochou kept running straight to the end of the ancient tomb.
At the end of the ancient tomb is the stone chamber where the sarcophagus is placed. Since Li Mochou returned to the ancient tomb last year, Xiaolongnu has also taken Li Mochou to worship their masters. Seeing Li Mochou running towards the end, Xiaolongnu said to himself: "Senior sister is going to worship his master and his grandmother-in-law? But she didn't bring any sacrifices, why should she sneakily avoid people?" She was puzzled and even more confused.
Li Mochou ran to the end and there was no way ahead, so he stopped. However, she did not stop in front of the door of the stone chamber where the sarcophagus was placed, but stopped in front of another stone chamber not far away. Then she saw her raise her jade hand and knock on the stone door. She first knocked slowly three times at a longer interval, and then two quick and short knocks.
Xiaolongnu said in greater surprise: "Is there anyone else in that stone chamber?" Although she is very familiar with the ancient tomb, she is only aimed at roads, institutions, etc. The ancient tomb is very large. She has not been in every stone chamber, especially behind which she is basically not used, and she has never been to explore it one by one. She has never been to the stone chamber that Li Mochou struck since she was a child.
Although he guessed that there was another person in the stone chamber, Xiaolongnu was a little unbelievable. If there was really someone, how did that person come in without being discovered by her. But if there was no one, why did Li Mochou come here and knock on the door of the stone chamber?
I guessed in my heart and kept watching. But after seeing Li Mochou knocking for five times, he withdrew his hand. After a while, he suddenly saw the stone door pulling open from inside, and then a man shouted happily, "Mochou!" He first stretched out his hands and hugged Li Mochou in his arms.
When Xiaolongnu heard the voice, her face changed, her eyes widened, her mouth slightly opened, and she was about to exclaim. She quickly reached out to cover herself, so that she did not make any sound.
