Chapter 286: Cover-up

The castle has a round shape and the huge stones needed to build it are polished smooth and smooth, but the interior is mostly carved from fine wood.

This circular building in the center has seven floors, and there is a three-story stone building on each side, but it has a square base and a round roof.

Outside the cave where the castle was built, it was freezing and cold, but inside the cave was as warm as spring, and the reason for this was the small river that flowed on both sides of the castle.

The river gushes out of a huge hole carved in the innermost part of the cave, and the water comes from the ground and the temperature is extremely high. Here it was artificially drained, split in two, diverted to the left and right of the small castle, and then drifted down to the unfathomable cliff valley.

Because of this, the rivers where these two hot springs converge also dilute the cold of this semi-enclosed place, so that it always maintains the suitability of spring and autumn.

Xiao Nan and Xun Yue were imprisoned in a side room on the seventh floor of the main building, and Jiang Yan's room was also on this floor, and the rest of the guests who came this time were placed on the sixth floor except for Yang Xian.

Yang Xian stuck to Jiang Yan and lived in a room with her, and her withdrawn personality was also used to the intimate entanglement of this little girl.

"How are you?" In the cramped and simple room, there was a small table and two small wooden beds placed here at midnight.

At this time, the two sat together, and Xiao Nan looked at Xun Yue with some concern.

"I'm fine, but I can't lift my spiritual power, what about you, is there still pain in your body?" Xun Yue's hand caressed Xiao Nan's chest.

"I'm fine, as long as I don't exercise vigorously, it doesn't hurt. Xiao Nan took her into his arms, his cheek pressed against her forehead.

"Brother Xiao, although I'm a little scared, I'm not very afraid. ”

Xiao Nan hummed lightly, "I don't have any way at all, I may die, but after all, the two of us are still alive now, and I may be able to find a chance to escape." ”

Xun Yue also hummed softly, she was hugged and affectionate by Xiao Nan like this, and her whole body was soft, but she was a little lazy and in a trance at this time, but she knew that the cultivation of both of them was forbidden by the other party, and if she let the two of them leave, she would be frozen to death if she couldn't go far.

"Are you tired of holding me like this? Why don't you sleep for a while? Xun Yue asked with a light shake of his forehead that was pressed against Xiao Nan's cheek twice, but in his heart he wished to be held by him all the time.

"I'm not tired," Xiao Nan probed her mouth and kissed her eyebrows, which would undoubtedly stir Xun Yue's body and mind, and her body responded accordingly, she stretched out her arm to wrap her arms around Xiao Nan's shoulder, and then put her own moist jade lips on Xiao Nan's lips.

The two of them are fascinated by this, and seem to have forgotten the passage of time.

"Disgusting!" Suddenly hearing a voice outside the window of the wood carving, Xun Yue broke free from Xiao Nan's arms in horror and stood up, but Xiao Nan just cleaned up his mind and sat indifferently.

The door opened, and a person walked in, but it was Jiang Yan with a disgusted expression.

Xun Yue sat back beside Xiao Nan, and Jiang Yan also sat on the bed opposite the two of them without a sound.

Xiao Nan remained silent, but his eyes looked down at the other party's legs, beware of the other party's heartwarming feet.

At this time, Jiang Yan's feet moved, Xiao Nan was excited, closed her eyes, but only heard Jiang Yan sneer, and then the sound of the small table dragging on the ground, it turned out that she just stretched out her legs and hooked the table legs on the side, and pulled the table to the middle of the two beds.

Jiang Yan took out four or five jade bottles and put them on the table, took some pastries and water, and said to Xiao Nan in a cold voice: "Take one pill of each of the pills inside, it can help you heal your injuries, and it can also allow you to control some spiritual power, about one layer or so, give me your left hand." ”

Xiao Nan looked at her puzzled, and had to stretch out his left hand and put it on the table. Jiang Yan grabbed his wrist and channeled spiritual power to speed up his recovery, while his free right hand unceremoniously grabbed food and fed it to his mouth.

After the two of them finished eating and drinking at the same time, Jiang Yan hadn't let go of Xiao Nan's wrist, and Xun Yue couldn't figure it out the most - some time ago, you were cruel and vicious to Brother Xiao, and now you are so concerned about healing, are you sick!

Xiao Nan had other plans, so her eyes were dumb and her expression was wooden, but she was calculating in her heart - I don't know what she wants to do, since you don't kill now, I won't sit still.

"One layer of spiritual power control, there should be no problem in resisting the cold outside, first find a chance to escape, and then talk about it, you can always find a way to lift the prohibition of spiritual power. ”

Xiao Nan thought expressionlessly, although Xun Yue's storage jade was seized by the other party, his dragon ball was still hidden in his underwear, and after escaping, even in the dungeon, there was no shortage of resources needed for life and cultivation.

A series of footsteps sounded on the corridor outside the room, and then walked into the two, it was Yang Xian and Jiao'er, Jiao'er held a steaming porcelain bowl with a wide mouth in her hand, and it was only an instant, and this small space was filled with the mouth-watering smell of meat.

"Miss, the bone broth of the Green Tiger Beast is ready. ”

Jiang Yan finally let go of Xiao Nan's hand, stood up and said, "Put it here." Then he looked at Xiao Nan, "You drink more, in addition to the best demonic beast meat, rare mushrooms and herbal roots are also put in the boiling, which is very good for your injury recovery." ”

Yang Xian went to pull Jiang Yan's arm on the side, "Okay, Sister Xiaoyan, let's go quickly, they are all waiting for us to eat below, I'm so hungry." ”

Jiang Yan nodded, but before going out, she put a few more things on the table, including a jar of wine that had not yet been opened, some fresh fruits, and more than a dozen high-grade spirit stones.

The three women walked out of the house, and when they went down the stairs, Jiang Yan suddenly stopped and said, "I'm not going down to eat, Xiaoxian, you go and tell them, I have something to arrange." Jiao'er, go and bring a bowl of stewed soup to my room. ”

After speaking, without waiting for Yang Xian and the two to reply, they walked straight to their door.

Her room was twelve or thirteen meters away from the small room where Xiao Nan was imprisoned, and after the sound of the door closing, she walked over to the wall on the left, where there was a large wardrobe standing upright.

Jiang Yan opened a small door in the center of the wardrobe, only to see that there were no clothes placed in it, it was empty, but there was a dark golden trumpet-shaped utensil in the middle, which was hollow.

She pulled the chair behind her and sat down, her head on the side facing the object, only to hear a bunch of male and female voices intermittently coming from inside, the voice was small but extremely clear.

"I've tasted it, this broth tastes excellent, you eat more, drink more. ”

This was Xiao Nan's voice, and then the sound of eating and drinking came from the artifact.

"Now I will eat as much as I can, and after a while, I will absorb these spirit stones, and the chance of escape will be greater. ”

I only heard Xun Yue hum, and then listened to her: "Brother Xiao, I don't understand, that surnamed Jiang started to be so cruel to you, and she didn't care about your life or death before, but now why does she want to heal you personally?"

Jiang Yan overheard this, immediately concentrated, and also put her head closer to the speaker in the cabinet.

"I can't figure out her thoughts, anyway, she can't be trusted, I told her before I came, and I will exchange you for ...... back. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Nan paused for a moment, and then his voice came again, "Try not to provoke her now, I have more eyes on the two of you, it is best to have a chance to understand the situation of this castle and the surrounding castle, and it will be smoother to escape." ”

"When I came, I found that there were many guards and many servants...... Brother Xiao, this broth tastes so good, I've eaten enough, you can eat more. ”

"You're still halfway there...... I went to check on the outside of the door, which was just closed and not locked on the outside. ”

Then Jiang Yan heard footsteps.

"The hallway on this floor is empty. ”

"She may have concluded that I would not dare to escape, or that I would not be able to escape at all, so she did not even lock the door. ”

"It's just that there are guards at the gates, and we can only climb over the walls on one side, and as long as we cross the bridge and escape into the jungle, we will be safe. ”

After Jiang Yan heard Xiao Nan's words, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curve into a contemptuous smile, and she secretly said in her heart: "I'll let you escape, if you can escape from me, I'll be a stupid donkey...... Phew, you're a stupid donkey!"

Xun Yue's voice sounded again, "I really can't figure it out, when I was in Ikeda Castle, he was dressed as a man, pretending to be an embarrassed passer-by, buying a gift for his mother, and you kindly gave him an extremely rare piece of jewelry...... Now, you have fallen in her way, but she has no idea of your kindness to her. ”

"You can't use your mind to measure others, people are good and people are bad, there is a reason to find it, but you can only analyze people with the same mind as yourself.

"For example, Zhuge An and Qian Yuehai are both people who are extremely evil, you have to find their truth, analyze and analyze, we only feel unreasonable. There is a saying that best sums them up - hell is empty, and the devil is on earth. ”

"Hell is empty, and the devil is on earth. Xun Yue repeated this sentence thoughtfully.

Jiang Yan also recited this sentence.

Xiao Nan's solemn voice sounded again, "Anyway, I can't trust her, not to mention that I both know the relationship between the Xuanling Sect and their dungeon, it is impossible for her to let you and me go." I also know the chances of escaping are slim, but I'm going to try this one anyway. ”

"I don't think this woman is as perverted as Zhuge An! Xun Yue didn't know what to think, so she pulled the topic aside.

Jiang Yan here was quite surprised to hear her comment on herself like this.

Suddenly, I heard a wry smile, "During this time, I have been tortured by her inside and outside my body, and I want to die several times to avoid her suffering...... For the first time in my life, I had such a thought. I have experienced a lot of hardships, but this is the first time I have ...... such despair. ”

"Brother Xiao, it's all my fault, and I've affected you. After Xun Yue finished speaking, she sobbed.

"Don't ...... Xiaoyue, despite this, I don't regret coming to see you at all, even if something like this happens again in the future, thousands of times, I will not hesitate to come to you. ”

"I know, I just feel so much pain in my heart, seeing you hurt, I can't do anything about it. ”

Jiang Yan sat in a daze, and the voices of the two continued to come, but her mind became more and more dim.

First a wave of grievance, then a burst of sadness, and after a burst of self-pity, she finally clenched her fists and stood up, and closed the open wardrobe door with some annoyance.

She circled around her spacious room, feeling like her heart was going to burst open at any moment.

"Say I'm a demon, I'll show you a demon!" Although she shouted so resentfully in her heart, it was only a momentary rebellion, but in fact she didn't find a trace of hatred for the man.

No one will give birth to inexplicable hatred, and even if there is, this kind of hatred is the least reliable, and a warm breeze can blow it away, and after it is blown away, it will be found that the original false emotion is only to cover up another completely opposite emotion.
