Volume 1 Pangea Chapter 17 The Chamber of Secrets
When Yue Qingshan and Peng Zhiyi walked out of the dilapidated house, it was already late at night. After seeing Peng Zhiyi leave, Yue Qingshan did not leave in a hurry, but took another turn in the place where he had just competed, and then took Hu Lin in the direction of Juxianzhai.
Back in Juxianzhai, Yue Qingshan called Hu Lin to his house. He didn't speak, but glanced at Hu Lin a few times with a little meaning, then walked to the side of the bed and carefully counted the floor tiles under his feet. His eyes were confirmed, and he stepped his toes, and the secret door on the ground reappeared.
Although it was not the first time Hu Lin had seen this secret door, he still pretended to be very surprised. Yue Qingshan walked up to Hu Lin, patted him on the shoulder, motioned for him to follow, and then walked towards the entrance of the cave. Hu Lin was full of suspicion about Yue Qingshan's actions, but he still followed his footsteps and entered the cave.
The passage inside the cave is very narrow, and the oil lamps on the walls are constantly flickering, illuminating the stone steps in the passage. Hu Lin followed Yue Qingshan's footsteps downward, and only the footsteps of the two of them could be heard in the quiet passage.
Descending to a place about four or five meters above the ground, a space about the size of a hut on the ground appeared in front of Hu Lin, much brighter than in the passage, but still dim. The place is divided into four rooms by a stone wall, and the side near the passage is surrounded by a metal fence.
In each of these four rooms, four women with very different styles were imprisoned, all of whom were outstanding in figure and appearance, but all had scars on their bodies. Hu Lin also saw the woman who resembled Yuan Jing, and her body had significantly more scars than the other three women.
Yue Qingshan didn't stop here, but continued to walk down the stone stairs on the side of the hall. Hu Lin's eyes didn't linger on the four women for long, and followed Yue Qingshan towards the bottom. After two more turns along the stone staircase, Hu Lin finally saw the end of the passage.
At the end of the passage is a cyan stone wall, on which is carved this one, a round relief of the height of a man. The content of the relief is a very ordinary shepherd girl, and there is nothing unusual about it from the surface. I saw Yue Qingshan stop in front of the stone wall, stretched out his hand and touched the relief a few times. Hu Lin was behind Yue Qingshan, silently remembering his every move.
When Yue Qingshan's hand was placed on the shepherd girl's forehead, the relief, which was originally integrated with the cyan stone wall, suddenly moved. It moved in a clockwise direction, then turned into the stone wall. On the cyan stone wall, where it was originally a relief, a circular hole appeared.
When the entrance to the cave appeared, the inside of the stone wall shone brightly. Yue Qingshan stabbed Hu Lin, who was in shock, beckoned to him, and walked into the cave, and Hu Lin followed in his footsteps and followed the entrance of the cave.
After entering the entrance of the cave, Hu Lin's eyes lit up, and the dim feeling just now disappeared in an instant. A bright room appeared in front of him, the room was not very large, only about ten square meters. All around are cyan stone walls, each of which is inlaid with several night pearls the size of a head, and the room is so bright because of these night pearls.
When Hu Lin entered the room, he began to look around. In one corner of the room, there were six or seven large wooden chests, the lids of which were ajar, revealing the glow of gold coins and precious stones. Except for these shiny chests, the rest of the furnishings are ordinary, with several quaint wooden shelves scattered under the surrounding stone walls, on which a few items are scattered around. In the center of the room, there is a round table and two chairs, which at first glance are used by Yue Qingshan to enjoy the items in the room.
When Hu Lin's gaze swept to the table under the innermost wall of the room, he felt that the heart in his chest suddenly disrupted his usual rhythm. I saw a book lying quietly on the top of the case, and the surface of the book was covered with a layer of black light. The moment Hu Lin's gaze made contact with the black light, he felt his heart beat violently a few times.
At this time, Yue Qingshan had already sat down at the table and looked at Hu Lin with interest. When he saw Hu Lin staring intently at the strange book, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't bother Hu Lin, and drank the tea on the table by himself.
After a cup of tea, Yue Qingshan put down the teacup in his hand and suddenly said to Hu Lin, "Fu Bo seems to be very interested in that book......
The voice fell into Hu Lin's ears, and he chuckled in his heart, he must have been staring at that strange book for too long, which aroused Yue Qingshan's suspicions. Hu Lin had to pretend not to hear him and continued to stare at the book.
Seeing Hu Lin like this, Yue Qingshan chuckled twice and continued, "Hehe~ Fu Bo...... Now that I've brought you here, I don't think you need to pretend to be deaf anymore......"
Obviously, Yue Qingshan had seen through his disguise, since this was the case, he wanted to see how this Yue Qingshan dealt with himself. So he said to Yue Qingshan in an old voice, "Young Master, how do you know that the old slave is pretending to be deaf and dumb?"
Yue Qingshan saw Hu Lin speak out loud, there was no surprise on his face, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the chair next to him, motioning for Hu Lin to sit down.
After Hu Lin sat on the chair, Yue Qingshan continued, "If you want to see through Fu Bo's pretending to be deaf and dumb, it is basically impossible for ordinary people, after all, you are a deaf and dumb person who is very perfect. But when I saw the mark on your chest, I knew that you were just a disguise. ”
Hearing him say this, Hulin opened the hem of his robe, pointed to the mark, and said, "I have not noticed anything special about this thing in me for so many years. But why did the young master say that it was because of it that he saw through my disguise? Moreover, since the young master had already seen through it, why did he keep me by his side?" After speaking, Hu Lin looked at Yue Qingshan with a vigilant gaze.
At this time, Yue Qingshan stared at that mark deadly, and there was greed in his eyes, but it disappeared in an instant. He settled down and said to Hu Lin, "Hehe~ Fu Bo doesn't need to be so nervous...... I have no ill will towards you, and it is precisely because of this mark that I will keep you with me. ”
When Hu Lin heard this, his face softened a little and said, "Young Master, do you recognize this mark on my chest?"
"Of course I recognize the mark on your chest...... And apart from me, the whole of Lincheng, no! I'm afraid there are not many people in the entire human world who can recognize this mark on your chest. Speaking of this, Yue Qingshan stopped and added some tea to his teacup.
When Hu Lin heard him say this, he hurriedly bowed and saluted and said, "Please also ask the young master to solve my doubts...... This mark has followed me since I was a child, and the old slave is now a dying old man, and this mark has become a heart disease. Please also ask the young master to tell the old slave what this mark is......"
"Hehe~ Since Fauber wants to know, then I'll tell you. Yue Qingshan paused, took a sip of tea and continued, "This is a demon mark, does Fu Bo know what this demon mark is?"
Hu Lin shook his head and said that he didn't know, so Yue Qingshan told him about the Demon Mark. The demon mark in Yue Qingshan's mouth is basically the same as what Yuan Jing described. It's just that when he introduced the Demon Mark, his tone was full of admiration. This made Hu Lin can't help but feel that Yue Qingshan and even the Yue family seem to have some kind of connection with the demon clan.
After Yue Qingshan finished popularizing the knowledge of demon marks to Hu Lin, he continued, "What you have on your chest is not an ordinary demon mark, it is a demon mark laid by the Devouring Demon Ancestor, one of the Seven Great Demon Ancestors!"
"Devouring Demon Ancestor?" Hu Lin scratched his head and said, he obviously didn't know who this Devouring Demon Ancestor was, let alone why this demon mark on his body was so special in Yue Qingshan's mouth.
"Fu Bo doesn't need to know who this Devouring Demon Ancestor is, as long as you know that with this demon mark on your body, you can be protected from all diseases. That's why I can see through the fact that you're pretending to be deaf and dumb when I see the mark. "Yue Qingshan didn't tell Hu Lin who the Devouring Demon Ancestor was.
Hu Lin saw that he didn't say anything, and he didn't dwell on this issue. With a roll of his eyes, he remembered the change in the demon's face on his chest, and he asked tentatively, "Young Master, since you know the demon mark so well, do you know that this mark will change after it is imprinted on your body?"
When Yue Qingshan heard him ask, he raised his eyebrows lightly and said, "This mark on Fu Bo's chest, it turns out that it is not like this?"
"Back to the young master, it really wasn't like this before...... Before coming to Lincheng, this demon face was not much different from an ordinary person's face except for the horns on its forehead. But since entering Lin City, this demon face has become hideous, and it has opened its mouth......" After speaking, Hu Lin also pointed towards the mouth of the demon face.
"Oh, there is still such a change...... After speaking, Yue Qingshan pretended to frown, and then five pitch-black beads suddenly appeared in his hand, handing them to Hu Lin's chest.
When the five beads approached the demon face on Hu Lin's chest, the vortex in the demon face's mouth actually turned. The five beads in Yue Qingshan's hand also moved. The vortex in the mouth of the demon face turned faster and faster, and suddenly a suction force erupted from the mouth of the demon face, Hu Lin wanted to block it but it was too late, only to see that the bead in Yue Qingshan's hand was instantly swallowed into the devil's mouth.
Hu Lin touched his chest, and he couldn't help but regret it in his heart. But now it's too late to regret it, he hurriedly checked his body, and found nothing abnormal. When he finally looked at the demon face and found that it had not changed, Hu Lin was relieved.
"Young Master, what was that bead just now, it won't hurt my body, right?" Hu Lin asked Xiang Yue Qingshan with a scared expression.
"Fu Bo, rest assured, those beads are just some demonic qi condensed, they are absorbed by the marks on your body, and they will not harm your body. It's just that the mark on your body can actually take the initiative to absorb demonic energy, why is that?" After speaking, Yue Qingshan fell into deep thought.
After a long time, Yue Qingshan patted his forehead, stood up and walked towards the case. Reaching out and taking the book covered with black light on the desk in his hand, he turned back to the table and sat down, and looked through the book carefully.
When Yue Qingshan opened the book, Hu Lin's heart began to beat violently, and the thought of snatching the book even appeared in his mind. Hu Lin tried his best to control this thought, but the demon face in his chest moved again, and the vortex in the demon mouth spun even faster.
The black light on the strange book in Yue Qingshan's hand seemed to be pulled by the imprint on Hu Lin's chest, and slowly surged towards Hu Lin. Of course, Hu Lin didn't want this black light to touch him, and wanted to stand up and stay away from this strange book, but his body seemed to be imprisoned, and no matter how much he struggled, he couldn't move a bit.
Hu Lin could only watch as the black light entered the demon's mouth, and the demon's face burped contentedly after inhaling the black light. This made Hu Lin's expression weird, and he wondered what was imprinted on his chest, and he actually absorbed the demonic qi one after another.
At this moment, Yue Qingshan put the strange book on the table, knocked over the teapot with his left hand, and held the staff tightly with his right hand, and used the ice sealing technique against Hu Lin. I saw that the water spilled out of the teapot turned into solid ice and locked Hu Lin's hands and feet firmly.
"Young master, why did you lock up the old slave ?!......?"
