That's right, except for the ancestor Mu and only twenty spiritual seats, there are no other ones enshrined in this ancestral hall. Logically speaking, even if the Mu family is just an inconspicuous small family, there should be more or less a few brothers and sisters in the mansion. But no one was seen here. The most important thing is that Mu Qingling, who is the same generation as Mu Cheng, saw no one.

Jun Lingyi stared at the spiritual position of the head with thoughtfulness. Mu Qingling's doubts were not unreasonable. In a family, unless the ancestral hall needs to be reset after the separation, no matter who dies, there is a spiritual position in the ancestral hall. However, the entire Mu family was killed, so there was no so-called separation. Prime Minister Mu did not move the spiritual position into the ancestral hall after his brothers and sisters died.

What exactly is he hiding...

"Qingling, it seems you have to remind Mu Mingxuan and let him be careful of this Prime Minister Mu." Jun Lingyi withdrew his gaze and said casually.

Mu Qingling raised her eyebrows slightly. Jun Lingyi said lightly: "Qingling can tell that shortly after the Mu Mansion was destroyed, Mujia Village, a remote mountain village next to him, was also slaughtered by bandits. All the village, including the elderly, young, women and children, did not survive."

Mu Qingling gasped, how much hatred was this?

Jun Lingyi explained softly: "This happened more than 20 years ago. I also heard from my ancestors. At that time, the bandits at that time heard that Mujia Village had a large amount of treasures, so they attacked Mujia Village in large numbers. However, they obviously got nothing in the end, so they were so angry that they killed the villagers in the village. This incident was a sensation at that time. After the founder learned about it, he sent his father to wipe out the bandits. The matter also settled with the dust."

"Since it was my father who led the troops there, I had never checked this matter at that time." Mu Qingling said thoughtfully.

Jun Lingyi said lightly: "The incident of Mujia Village being slaughtered by bandits has caused a lot of controversy, and has attracted the attention of many scholars. Besides, no matter what the reason was, the demise of Mujia Village was indeed due to the forcibly entering the village by a group of bandits. This cannot be changed no matter how it is."

Now we can only say that those treasures are the fuse, while the bandits are the executioners.

"It seems that I think many of us have been fooled." Jun Lingyi narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Even though he was still young at that time, this matter was still full of doubts. Especially the batch of treasures that appeared in Mujia Village were too incredible.

Just as Mu Qingling was in deep thought about this, a muffled sound suddenly came from her ears, feeling like a heavy object was hitting an iron tool.

He looked at Jun Lingyi. Jun Lingyi pulled Mu Qingling and walked towards the side, looking for the source of the sound, but the sound only sounded for one sentence and never sounded again.

"Where will my father set up the agency?" Mu Qingling looked at the decorations in the lobby, and her eyes finally fell on the spiritual thrones, saying thoughtfully.

Jun Lingyi smiled faintly, "Since it is an underground secret room, there must be a secret door, just look for it."

Mu Qingling shrugged and went to find the so-called secret door with Jun Lingyi. Since Prime Minister Mu dared to build a secret room in the ancestral hall, he would definitely not let outsiders know easily.

There is nothing else to be used for decoration in the ancestral hall. Apart from the spiritual position placed on the top, there are several statues of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva hanging on the wall that symbolizes the merits of original vows. The most conspicuous thing here is a Buddha mantra.

Mu Qingling looked at it for a long time before she realized that it was a bit like a Buddhist mantra she had seen by chance in her previous life.

"The Shurangama Mantra is interesting!" Mu Qingling thought about it for a while before recalling her name. In fact, she was not a Buddhist, but in her previous life she had been to a more prestigious temple at an appointment from a friend. This Shurangama Mantra is as profound as the one seen in Buddhism.

"Qingling knows it." Jun Lingyi walked to her at some point, and also looked at the Buddhist mantra on the head and asked with interest.

Mu Qingling raised her eyebrows and said, "It's not a complete understanding. I just saw it by chance. This painting is called the Shurangama Mantra, also known as the White Umbrella Mantra. Buddhism says: The use of mantra can cover everything, so it is called the Umbrella Mantra. But the most interesting thing is not this, but what is said in the Shurangama Mantra is to subdue demons and kill demons and control all heretics. Simply put, those who hold this mantra can retreat from all enemies and destroy curses. In other words, it is to drive away evil spirits."

In the ancestral hall where her ancestors were worshipped, there was a spell. Her father's idea was really novel.

But what really made Jun Lingyi care about was not what this sentence meant. A pair of dark and deep eyes fell on Mu Qingling, and Jun Lingyi spoke calmly, "Qingling seems to surprise me every time."

Mu Qingling laughed dryly, and she knew how strong Jun Lingyi was. However, he had never really taken Mu Qingling's uniqueness again and again to heart. But at this moment, Mu Qingling suddenly realized that it was not that Jun Lingyi didn't care, but that she had unconsciously ignored many things. There were many of them that Jun Lingyi deliberately indulged.

"Since this painting is unique, it should be somewhat related to the secret door of the secret room." Jun Lingyi quickly turned his gaze away and looked at the painting with thoughtful words.

After saying that, Jun Lingyi took down the painting, but the back was still a neat wall, and there was nothing special. With a snorted lightly, Jun Lingyi fumbled carefully on the wall. Soon he narrowed his eyes slightly, and the next moment he hung the painting up. He pulled Mu Qingling and walked in the opposite direction.

Mu Qingling was speechless, what is the principle!

As if he saw Mu Qingling's doubts, Jun Lingyi explained lightly: "I just found a small dark mark on the wall, like a symbol, which corresponds to a certain direction."

"What you mean is that the secret door should be in this place." Mu Qingling pointed in front of her.

There was nothing special about the place where Mu Qingling pointed. The only special thing was that it was slightly damp at the edge of the corner of the wall, and the vermilion paint in the corner of the wall fell a lot.

Wet, vermilion lacquer! Mu Qingling was slightly stunned and looked at other places with her head on her back. However, compared to this place, the rest of the places were dry. Even though this ancestral hall was built for a long time, the vermilion lacquer was not so serious.

Jun Lingyi nodded, "It's just a guess. You can only know if you have tried it."

Mu Qingling withdrew her gaze and curled her red lips, "I think your guess is correct." He pointed to the ground, and Mu Qingling continued, "Look at this place and then look at other places."

Jun Lingyi looked at Mu Qingling's finger and said slowly: "It seems that Prime Minister Mu has been building this underground secret room for more than a day or two."

Maybe it has been built since he came to the capital. If so, he must have planned something.

Jun Lingyi groped along the corner of the wall, and soon he could only hear "Crack"

With a sound, a gap appeared in the corner of the wall beside him. Along the gap, Jun Lingyi continued to grop, and the crack became bigger and bigger. He pulled the corner of his lips, and Jun Lingyi put his palm on the edge of the crack and pushed it inside. A stone slab slightly smaller than the door immediately separated from the ground.

Looking at the dark steps in front of you, Mu Qingling sighed inwardly about the unique ingenuity of the ancients.

"Let's go." Jun Lingyi wrapped Mu Qingling into his arms, and did not look at the steps that were only seven or eight in front of him, and hugged him and jumped down. As the figures of the two men disappeared, the secret door outside also closed.

It was not until it fell to the ground that Jun Lingyi put Mu Qingling down. There was no candlelight in the basement, but a few night pearls the size of eggs were inlaid on the wall for lighting.

Relying on the faint light at first glance, the layout of this underground secret room is not as simple as I imagined. For the sake of making it easier for me to rest and work, this basement has been planned into several rooms in total. The place where they are located is not useful.

"From this pattern, this underground secret room accounts for at least one-fifth of the entire Prime Minister's Mansion. Mu Cheng was very quiet at first, and he was really good at doing such a large secret room." Jun Lingyi sighed.

Building a secret room is different from building a villa. It can be said that the project of building a secret room is even bigger because he needed to hollow out the ground and re-strengthen it. Moreover, there must be some maids and servants in the mansion at that time. But it seems that no one has noticed anything.

"Is his father planning to use it for his retirement?" Mu Qingling curled his lips.

"It is impossible to retire in old age, but it is possible if it is used to escape temporarily." Jun Ling said with a chuckle.

After walking for a while, Mu Qingling sighed: "No wonder my father took Liu back from Jingxin'an."

The reason why Prime Minister Mu brought Liu back from Jingxin's Temple was obviously because he was worried that he would talk too much. Liu accidentally let him talk about his affairs. Moreover, when he took action at Jingxin's Temple, Prime Minister Mu was not at ease. After all, it was not his territory, and those nuns were not his people. Even if he could bribe one or two, who could guarantee that she would not betray you the next moment.

In this way, there is no way to get insurance if you do it yourself.

"Clang" suddenly came from the room next to it, mixed with the sound of a woman cursing.

"Mu Shenghui, you must die a good death, you must die a good death..."

Jun Lingyi and Mu Qingling looked at each other, and then Jun Lingyi hugged Mu Qingling and flashed in at a speed that was not as fast as possible. The speed made Mu Qingling unable to help but burst into tears. When she realized that Jun Lingyi had already hugged her and landed in the room to rest behind the curtain beside the bed.

What a great kung fu! Mu Qingling looked at Jun Lingyi enviously. How powerful is Jun Lingyi? When she was in another village, she saw it when he fought against Qiu Ming, but it was far from real as if she had experienced it personally.

Jun Lingyi smiled silently, his joking eyes seemed to be saying, "Girl, do you want to learn?"

Mu Qingling understood Jun Lingyi's eyes very smartly and rolled her eyes in anger. She was still self-aware and knew that this kind of despicable strength could not be achieved by anyone.

The sound of cursing outside was still coming intermittently, and there was also the sound of iron chains hitting each other. Through the gap between the half-closed curtains, Mu Qingling saw clearly that there was a chain tied to Liu's hands.

At this time, Liu was far from being as energetic as when he was in charge of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Now he was covered in scattered heads and pickaxes, and his clothes were worn and gray. His five fingers fiddling with the chains were rough, and there were many wrinkles. At first glance, it looked like the hands of an old lady in her fifties and sixties.

At this time, she turned her back to Mu Qingling and the others, lowered her head, and pulled the chains on her hands and feet angrily. Perhaps because she had been working hard for nothing, Liu was approaching the edge of anger and pulled the chains like crazy. Even though her wrist had been strangled, she could not feel them numbly. She still repeated her movements.

Mu Qingling frowned. In Liu's state, even if Prime Minister Mu doesn't kill her, Liu will be really crazy sooner or later.

"Mu Shenghui, I want to kill you, kill you!" Liu roared to the sky.

"Liu Xinru, you are really dishonest." A voice with a strong murderous intent sounded outside the door. Immediately afterwards, Prime Minister Mu's carrier's anger appeared in front of Liu, looking at her condescendingly.

"Mu Shenghui." Liu gritted his teeth in hatred.

Prime Minister Mu snorted coldly, half-squatted down and pinched Liu's chin, forcing her to raise her head and look at him, "You really don't plan to say it, right?"

"Mu Shenghui, I tell you, don't know where that person is before I die. If I die, you will be disappointed and scolded by the whole world, haha..." Liu's teeth creaked and his eyes were red.

What’s rare is that Prime Minister Mu was not angry, but just threw away Liu in anger. He said lightly: “Since you are so ungrateful, then I will give you a message for free.”

Liu fell to the ground, his chin was red, as if he had just stayed by Prime Minister Mu, but she couldn't care about the pain at this time, and just stared at Prime Minister Mu with vigilance, "What do you want to say?"

Prime Minister Mu sneered and said word by word: "Mu Mingfeng killed Shen Xin, the youngest son of the Minister of Justice. How about this? The news is wonderful. Mu Mingfeng, you have a good son who is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and you will learn to murder. It really surprised me."

"What did you say? It's impossible!" Liu screamed.

"Impossible. If you say it is impossible, it is impossible. Now the Minister of Justice wants Mu Mingfeng to pay his life. Liu Xinru, why don't you teach me what to do?" Prime Minister Mu said condescendingly.

"He is your son." Liu roared.

Prime Minister Mu nodded, "Original knowledge that he is my son. But if this son is useless, he will not be able to give up."

"Beast." Liu suddenly stood up and summoned towards Prime Minister Mu, "You beast, even your own son, you are a man-eating tiger. I curse you to cut into pieces, and after death, your bones will be crushed and ashes will be thrown away."
