Chapter 25: Fear
Before Chu Yunsheng could widen his eyes and adjust his vision, Eryuan had already taken out the fire fold from his arms, and took out a lantern to light it again, and walked in front to guide them.
Through the faint light of the lantern, Chu Yunsheng could barely see that in this cave was a stone staircase leading to the underground, and the hard stone walls on both sides were made extremely smooth, she subconsciously raised her hand to touch it, and the touch was very good.
But Binary's words frightened her and immediately withdrew her hand.
"There are mechanisms on this stone wall, so remember to be careful, don't touch it. ”
Seeing Chu Yunsheng retract his hand in shock, Eryuan turned his head and walked down the stone steps all the way.
Chu Yunsheng thought that the construction of this stone cave was not simple, and he deliberately touched it just now, just to let the two yuan confirm his guess.
Binary walked in the front, Chu Yunsheng followed closely, and Dumb was at the back.
The three of them walked all the way down the stone steps, the further down they went, the colder they became, the little bit of fire in the lantern in Eryuan's hand was extinguished a few times, and Chu Yunsheng was also sweating in the cold wind coming from the pavement.
It's not just that ordinary women are afraid of ghosts, Chu Yunsheng has a huge psychological shadow against the darkness, especially for such a narrow space and unknown darkness.
She is afraid of the dark, especially of such a bottomless black hole that can swallow a qiē.
And the reason for this is naturally because after being locked up in the dark demon tower for sixteen years, the fear of darkness has long been ingrained in her heart.
This will remind her of the unbearable sixteen years, of the boundless fear and loneliness, of her mother, of her own life and the spurning of the world......
The further down she goes, the heavier her heart becomes, and the past events that have been shackled in the most secret places in her heart come to mind one by one.
She was immersed in the past, but she didn't know that at this time, she had already burst into tears, and her limbs were already cold to the bone.
Until a pair of warm big hands covered her palms, holding her little hands that no longer had a little temperature, and accurately finding her eyes that were already full of tears in the dark, and wiping away the tears for her.
Chu Yunsheng turned his head in some surprise and looked at the dumb who was doing this qiē intimately.
In an instant, such a thought suddenly came to mind, maybe in the eyes of the claustrophobic and withdrawn Dumb, she was just a childish little girl. That's why he has matured a lot and taken care of her.
Without waiting for her to think about how accurate this guess was, the binary who led the way in front had already stopped, Chu Yunsheng let go of Dumb's hand, and no matter whether he could see it in this dim light, she still turned around and said two words to him with her mouth, thank you.
Then they turned around and followed in front of the two elements, between which the stone steps had come to an end, and in front of them was a huge stone door. The stone doors are covered with bumps marked with various colors.
The binary raised his hand and pressed it three times on one of the red bumps, and three times on one of the white bumps.
The huge stone door opened.
With the sound of the mechanism in the rumbling stone door turning and moving the stone door slowly opening, the bright light inside was accompanied by the rich smell of fat powder, the aroma of wine and meat, and the noisy sound of the market.
When the stone doors were all opened, even Chu Yunsheng, who had seen the luxurious Chen State Palace, couldn't help but be secretly surprised, this place was really worthy of the words Heaven and Escape Cave on Earth.
What catches the eye is a huge sprinkling flower embroidered gold silk moire tent, hanging on the top of the huge bottom hall, below, is a huge high platform, there are four inlaid stone pillars on the high platform, the moire carved on the pillar, hanging with golden and brilliant decoration, in front of each pillar, there is a bronze nine-branch lamp more than one person high, the whole high platform illuminates like day.
Compared with the brilliance on the stage, the audience is much simpler, and the light is much dimmer, I don't know whether it is deliberately highlighting the dazzling on the stage, or for the safety of the identity of the high-rollers in the audience, so this arrangement is made. When Chu Yunsheng entered the door, he only faintly saw many rows of seats, as well as heads of people who exchanged their ears from time to time, but everyone's appearance was hidden in the dim light, and he couldn't see it clearly.
After Chu Yunsheng quickly glanced at the audience, Eryuan had already walked in front, led them to the two positions on the left of the fourth row and sat down, and after a few simple words, he retreated.
Chu Yunsheng took Dumb and sat down together.
Unlike the cautiousness that I saw in the hall at night, I don't know if it was because of the dim light, which made everyone abandon so much caution, or because the rules and layout here gave everyone a full sense of security, in short, after Chu Yunsheng sat down, he only heard the noisy discussions around him, some noisy, some noisy, and a little interesting.
Someone said: "The auction of this red sleeve move, the old man is here for the third time, I hope that this year I can see the peerless sword that can make the old man look at a glance, and it is not in vain to look forward to the past few years." ”
Someone said: "Last year, I actually photographed Xiaoyue, the world's first sword, here, so let's take a look again this year, if I can meet a peerless master again, I will shoot it at any cost and be a guard for my youngest son." ”
Someone said: "What's the use of shooting those martial arts masters, martial arts cheats, peerless swords, this son has always only liked to be drunk and gentle, you know, the girl who took out the red sleeves for auction in which year is not a peerless beauty?"
In the end, the person's voice fell, and several people around him made the sound of swallowing saliva in unison, Chu Yunsheng heard it clearly, and before she suppressed the disgust in her heart, she heard someone raise her voice a little and said: "I've heard, the finale of this year's red sleeve move is more exciting than in previous years." It's a peerless beauty!"
"What year is the woman who launched the Red Sleeve Move, and what is the difference this year?
There were doubts in the crowd, because the light was too dim and there were many people, Chu Yunsheng couldn't tell which position and which mouth this voice came from, so she had to prick up her ears, pretend to drink tea, and continue to listen.
Until someone said: "I heard that that beauty, but the demon princess of Chen Kingdom!"
Click, the jade porcelain cup in his hand shattered in response.
Hearing this sentence coldly, Chu Yunsheng couldn't grasp it, the internal force in her hand was out of control, she instantly crushed the cup in her palm, and the hot tea instantly spilled on her hand, but she didn't seem to feel the slightest pain, and the nerves in her whole body were concentrated in the conversation of these people.
Fortunately, because the light was dim, he couldn't even see the expressions of his neighbors clearly, and everyone's attention was pulled away by the raised volume just now, so no one noticed Chu Yunsheng's gaffe.
