A shocking trail of blood snaked down the long staircase, for the secret passage had been so well sealed that it had not been hidden by the wind and sand like the outside world.

"Hum", there seemed to be bee wings trembling slightly, and the Heavenly Machine Sword appeared in Shao Heng's hand out of thin air.

Ning Qingyun's uncontrollable emotions caused the qi to fluctuate, and Shao Heng and the others immediately noticed something wrong and hurried over.

When Shao Heng entered the door, his consciousness was swept away, and his vest suddenly became cold, and that familiar feeling instantly came to his heart, making him instantly enter a state of extreme vigilance.

The same cold, the same dampness, the same means of isolating the senses, and the faint fragrance of some kind of agar after it had burned out.

The black-clothed people in Shuangxian Town, Yunlai Pavilion, and Jinyun City who sneaked here......

The answer to why the man had come all the way here was at the bottom of this pitch-black staircase.

Shao Heng glanced at Ning Qingyun, whose face was snow-white, and did not think deeply about the reason for her gaffe.

Although the man in black was wounded, he must have been familiar with this kind of secret passage, and perhaps there were other enemies in ambush.

Shao Heng called in a low voice: "Beidou, how are you injured?"

Nangong Beidou withdrew his gaze from Ning Qingyun and said in a cold voice: "It's okay. ”

Shao Heng nodded, bowed down and stepped into the secret passage first, went down more than a dozen steps, and when he reached the flat ground, there was only a clear bloodstain leading to the front, and there was no sign of danger.

Nangong Beidou received the news from Shao Heng, and wanted to enter by himself, but for some reason his eyes were aimed at Ning Qingyun, who was lost and depressed, and said softly: "Senior Sister Ning, Chengtai, you are advanced, and I am the queen of the palace." ”

Ning Qingyun woke up as if in a dream, bit the tip of her tongue fiercely, the sharp pain came, and her heart seemed to be a little firmer, and she immediately walked into the secret passage.

As soon as she entered, the chill made her shiver.

"Poof!" Ning Qingyun heard the sound of footsteps landing, Shangguan Chengtai and Nangong Beidou entered one after the other, Shao Heng took out the Dingfeng bead to illuminate and walked forward.

Whether it is Shuangxian Town or Yunlai Pavilion, the secret passages are different, and now the place where Shao Heng and the others are is also different.

The layout of the three places is different, but Shao Heng is more and more sure that this place must have been built using the same method as Shuangxian Town and Yunlai Pavilion.

The passage is not long, but it is only a few steps to the end.

Shao Heng looked at the iron door in front of him, but a strange feeling rose in his heart, as if he had seen it somewhere.

There were some chaotic patterns carved on the door, and Shao Heng couldn't remember it for a while.

The iron door was hidden, revealing a little light.

Shao Heng's brows furrowed slightly, and his phoenix eyes showed a look of surprise, and he immediately straightened his back, and the Heavenly Machine Sword in his hand naturally hung down.

Nangong Beidou walked at the end, and he didn't know what he noticed, and was about to ask a question, when he saw Shao Heng stretching out his hand and pushing open the iron door without the slightest cover, and suddenly couldn't help but call: "Be careful!"

The heavy iron door was like a feather under Shao Heng's palm, fluttering and unfolding, revealing the scene inside.

Only then did Nangong Beidou understand the reason why Shao Heng did this: there was only one person in the room, a dead man who had shed blood.

In the dimly lit room, a blood-stained pearl of the night was crushed under the dead man, emitting only a little light. But this light was enough to make people see inside the house and guess what had happened.

The person who died in the secret passage under Ning Qingyun's parents' room, masked and black-clothed, was the man in black who had been watching Shao Heng and Yuxushan in Jinyun City before, and was chased all the way here by Shao Heng.

Shao Heng first looked around the room, and found that there were rows of shelves on each side, and things on them were placed in a mess, as if they had just been turned over.

And in front of the wall facing the door, there was a shrine, almost exactly the same as Shao Heng had seen in the dilapidated small building of Yunlai Pavilion.

Seeing the same statue, Shao Heng couldn't help but squint, all kinds of speculations in his heart were like a storm, and he subconsciously glanced at Ning Qingyun.

Ning Qingyun's face was extremely bad, and in this dim room, she looked as pale as snow, and her body seemed to be trembling slightly.

On weekdays, there is a pool of autumn water shaking violently in the beautiful eyes of the ancient well.

Shao Heng was slightly stunned, and suddenly realized that Nangong Beidou said that this place was Ning Qingyun's hometown. And looking at her familiar appearance in this family before, coupled with what she saw in front of her, Shao Heng had already concluded that this place was Ning Qingyun's home when she was a child.

All kinds of moments about her flashed in Shao Heng's mind, including the entanglement between her and Xiao Zhuo and Xiao Yu.

Shao Heng had doubts, but he saw Ning Qingyun's eyes suddenly like ashes, so he had to put it down for the time being.

Nangong Beidou stepped forward to inspect the body of the man in black.

The man had sword wounds on his shoulder and abdomen, showed signs of corrosion on his exposed skin, and had one eye wound, which was injured by Shao Heng and his demon pet Xiaojin.

But none of these injuries were fatal, and the real fatal part was the chest that was beaten into a sieve.

The murder weapon landed not far in front of his corpse, a jade box that had fallen between the corpse and the shrine.

Shao Heng walked towards the jade box, and Shangguan Chengtai's worried voice came from behind: "Brother Shao, be careful." ”

Shao Heng nodded, and gently opened the lid with the tip of his sword, and after the "click" sound came from the jade box, a dull "poof" sound instantly sounded in the room.

A black rain mist seemed to rise in front of the jade box.

These mist-like things were all extremely tiny needles, as dense as cow's hair, and as fast as lightning.

Fortunately, Shao Heng and the others were prepared, and the second wave of hidden weapons that shot out from the jade box only hit the corpse of the dead man and the shelf not far away.

In the end, after opening the jade box, Nangong Beidou sighed in disappointment: "I thought it was something important, but it was just an empty box." ”

Ning Qingyun's pale face was also slightly stunned, and a little hope appeared in her eyes.

Shao Heng glanced at the shelves on both sides and found that there were only some broken mortal books, which were tattered at the slightest touch, and they could not be consulted at all.

"What is he looking for?" Shao Heng thought to himself: "If he came all the way here to cover his breath in this secret passage? Then why did he look like he was rummaging through boxes and cabinets......?"

Shao Heng ignored the whispers of Guan Chengtai and Nangong Beidou, his eyes did not let go of a corner to scan everything, and finally stopped on the shrine again.

He hesitated for a moment, stepped forward to take a look, and found that the portrait was not a complete one, nor was it the shattered state in the small building after the accident in Jinyun City, but was cut in two pieces from the waist of the figure with a sharp weapon.

Shao Heng only touched it inadvertently, and the figure fell down and broke in two.

At the same time, the figure was followed by a jade box that was smaller than before.

Shao Heng suddenly thought of the memo bead obtained in the shrine in the Yunlai Pavilion, and a thought suddenly flashed in his heart, and he quickly took the jade box and opened it carefully.

This jade box, which was similar to the previous one, did not hide any mechanism, and easily exposed the contents in front of everyone.

A letter, the same note as before.

PS: The rhythm of overtime every day? I have to go on a business trip during the day tomorrow, and I can't seem to touch the computer......
