I swept the Phoenix with the Onmyoji Shikigami

Xinghan and Qingji looked at each other, and both of them understood that the current situation was very strange.

They quickly gathered their minds and began to carefully observe their surroundings, trying to find a clue.

Qing Ji frowned, and there was a hint of uneasiness in her voice:

"Sir, what is going on? Why is Boss Yi here? Is he also your partner?"

Xinghan shook his head, his eyes also full of doubts:

"I don't know either. Boss Yi's appearance was too sudden, and his departure was so strange. I have no idea either."

Qingji turned her head slightly, her eyes gleaming with memories, as if she had traveled back to the days when she served Kuro Seimei.

She spoke slowly, with a hint of nostalgia and determination in her voice:

"Sir, I have speculated on how Kuroo Seimei opened the mysterious cave, and I have also seen Kuroo Seimei several times with my own eyes."

Her fingers lightly sketched in the air, as if recreating the scene at that time.

When Xinghan heard this, he couldn't help but feel a surge of joy in his heart, but then he was also shrouded in a trace of vigilance.

Although this clue was important, he always felt that something was wrong.

However, he couldn't tell exactly what the problem was and could only respond cautiously based on his intuition.

He clasped his hands together, bowed slightly to Qingji, and his tone was full of respect and pleading:

Xinghan looked deeply at Qingji, his voice revealing an indescribable heaviness and determination:

"Qingji, I must explain to you why I do this. Do you know that in that cave, besides the prince, there are countless innocent lives waiting for salvation? Those innocent creatures may not be able to speak for themselves, but as powerful people, it is our unshirkable responsibility to do good for them every day. This has nothing to do with morality and character, it is just the behavior that people should have."

Qingji nodded slightly, and a trace of deep emotion flashed in her eyes, as if she was deeply touched by Xinghan's words: "Sir, Qingji was also a weak person, weak and powerless, and of course I understand the situation of the weak. I understand your intentions, and I will definitely lend you a helping hand."

Xinghan nodded deeply, his eyes filled with firm belief and expectation:

"In that case, Qingji, please use your memory and bravely try to open the cave."

"Okay!" Qingji answered calmly, closed her eyes, and tried to immerse herself completely in that long-lost memory.

She clearly remembered that when she was following Hei Qingming, she once witnessed the cave entrance opening.

But the specific location and method are as if shrouded in fog and are unclear.

Hei Qingming always thinks everything through and never makes any mistakes. Even if you see with your own eyes how to look at the cave entrance, you probably won't be able to imitate it.

She slowly opened her eyes and began to search carefully around the cave based on her memory.

“Could it be related to the stones?” Xinghan glanced around the cave. There was nothing special inside except a few stones, some unknown vines and unrecognizable plants.

"I think so."

With Xinghan's guidance, Qingji first came to a huge rock.

This rock stands out particularly compared to the surrounding stone walls.

Qingji remembered that in her memory, the entrance to the cave seemed to be near this rock.

She squatted down and gently stroked the surface of the rock with her hand, trying to find a possible mechanism or secret door.

She ran her fingertips over the rock, feeling every groove and bump.

However, no matter how carefully she searched, she found nothing unusual.

"What? Is it not possible?" Xinghan walked over with a frown, and also mobilized his spiritual power to try to do something with the stone.

It took a lot of effort, but the stone didn't respond.

"Why not?" Qingji frowned in confusion, staring at the stone and refusing to let go.

"It's okay, hahaha." Xinghan tried to relax his brows and show an indifferent look, hoping not to affect Qingji's morale.

"I'm sorry, I should be able to find it. If it were in the past, I would definitely be able to find it." Qingji stood up, shook her head slightly, and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

"Who can hit the target in one shot? Don't worry, don't be anxious, it's okay. Let's continue." Xinghan patted Qingji's cold shoulder, trying to encourage her.

"Yes, if you insist, you can do it." Although Qingji's expression was ferocious for a moment, she soon relaxed her brows and revealed an adorable smile.

It doesn't look like it's giving up, but continues to move on to the next possible location.

She came to a relatively flat ground with several depressions on it that looked like they were naturally formed.

Qingji squatted down again, just like a little squirrel looking for food. Instead of climbing a tree, she jumped around on the ground.

Her slender hands pressed back and forth on the concave edges of the ground, as if playing a silent "ground symphony", expecting some strange notes to burst out from it.

She opened her eyes wide, as if she wanted to see through the ground and directly peek into the hidden secrets. The way she stared at the ground looked a little funny.

However, no matter how she "played", these depressions remained silent, like the ground that could not be more ordinary.

"Could this cave entrance be underground? I remember it was clearly in a cave."

Xinghan looked at her funny appearance and couldn't help but twitching his mouth. The doubts in his heart grew like a snowball.

He couldn't help but ask, but was worried about angering this unpredictable snake-type shikigami.

After all, if she is unhappy and refuses to cooperate, then it would be a waste of time and effort.

Xinghan could only be patient and accommodate her.

He muttered to himself, "Could it be that Miss Qingji's memory is simply unreliable?"

Can you expect a snake to have a photographic memory? You might as well expect a cave to talk.

While Xinghan was doubting himself, Qingji was immersed in continuing her "ground exploration".

"I remember that once Lord Kuroharu Ming pressed lightly like this, and the hole opened."

Qingji recalled the "strange stories" that the soldiers told her, her eyes flickering with anticipation, as if she believed it firmly.

Xinghan looked at her serious expression. Although he was half-believing and half-doubting, he didn't know what to say. He could only watch her performance silently from the side.

I couldn't help wondering if I had seen it wrong.

He really couldn't imagine Kuro Qingming doing this...
