23. [IIIII] Headless corpse

The sound of water ticking in the bleak tunnel, everyone's every breath is clear, behind them is a scooping ladder, and in front of them is an unknown long road. Huo An'an's hair stood up in an instant, and the cold wind flowing through seemed to change shape in front of his eyes, twisting into figures with teeth and claws prostrate on the mountain wall to look at him, staring at him coldly, wanting to tear him apart......

He shuddered and took a step back, his chest heaving violently, the figures intertwining before him, approaching gradually, baring their fierce fangs.

"Smack!" Half of Huo An's cheeks were numb by this slap, his ears buzzed, and he blinked his Venus eyes vigorously before he saw the appearance of the person in front of him, and stammered, "Husband, madam?" ”

Qin slowly rubbed his wrist, smiled at him very apologetically, and explained to himself: "Huo Xiaogonggong, this red ground moss was born by clinging to the coffin, absorbing the poisonous qi all year round, the inner foundation is not deep, and those who are not firm in perseverance are easily confused by it and fall into illusions. She gritted her teeth and used enough strength for that slap, and Huo An couldn't tell that she couldn't hurt herself, "I was really sorry just now." ”

Huo An covered half of his hot face, and it took a long time for his drowsy brain to wake up, and he was extremely ashamed to look at Yongque's seemingly casual glance: "Madame's words are serious, it's a slave who wants to thank Madame for coming to the rescue." He said and slapped himself, "It's all because the minions are useless!" ”

Qin snorted slowly, and hurriedly reassured him.

Yongque watched coldly for a long time, and the breath in the cave was different, and he noticed it as soon as he came in, after all, it was deep underground, even if it was ventilated, it was inevitable that there would be toadstool spores, and these things were the easiest to disperse in the air. This weight is not to be feared by them, and when it comes to the real thing, Huo An and Qin Slow are the two lowly martial arts, but he never thought that it was Huo An who lost the Tao first, not Qin Slow, who was the most unhelpful......

Huo An was ashamed of himself for a moment, and knew that it was not the time to feel sorry for himself, so he said to Qin slowly: "Madame's kindness, the slave remembers it in his heart, and in the future, he will not hesitate to do what a slave can do." ”

Qin slowly shook his head and said, "No, no", patted him on the shoulder, took out a neatly folded handkerchief from his arms, walked to the stone wall, bent down and carefully wrapped the small piece of moss into the handkerchief, and then folded it neatly.

Huo An exclaimed, anxious to stop her: "Madam, why are you still taking this harmful thing!" ”

Qin Chu smiled slightly, and put the handkerchief back into his arms: "It's okay to wrap it, don't look poisonous about this thing, but it's also a rare thing, ordinary coffins are not alive, so you have to attach good ebony." As if she had obtained some treasure, she said happily, "Ren Zhongpingxiao has been thinking about it for a long time, but unfortunately ebony is rarely used for royal coffins," she sighed slightly, "He has a cloth coat, and he can't enter the imperial mausoleum, so he can only squat at the door and drool, which is really pitiful." ”

Yongque's ears twitched, and he subconsciously looked at Qin Chu, but saw that her face was happy, as if she was really happy for her friend to find a rare treasure.

If it is really as she said, eighty percent of the case of Princess Hui's disappearance is inseparable from the royal family...... Then this matter is not just as simple as the whereabouts of a vassal princess and princess are unknown.

He weighed the pros and cons and figured out the key points, but at this moment, footsteps sounded in the deep corridor, light and rhythmic, and suddenly Huo An and the brocade guard who stayed behind raised their guard and protected Yongque and Qin Slow to the rear.

Two people went and one person returned......

A little fire lit up in the depths of the darkness, ethereal and faint like a lamp from another world. The Jinyi guard who was blocking Yongque's body had slowly pulled out his knife, the blade was cold, and the cold color that folded out still Huo An couldn't help but become more nervous, and he whispered to Qin Slow: "Madam, there will be a case later, no matter what others do, you can protect yourself first." ”

"Oh......" Qin slowly replied in an equally nervous voice.

A wisp of wind swept by, and the torches flickered. Suddenly the footsteps disappeared again, and a little firelight was dimmed by the heavy darkness. That is, they floated there near and far, like an eye, staring coldly at them.

A figure loomed there, motionless and silent.

"Hey......" Qin slowly hid on Huo An and Yongque, leaned out his face and looked at it for a long time, "Look, that person doesn't seem to have a head......

Her voice was as light as a floating feather, and with the cold wind swishing in the tunnel, Huo An was so frightened that he wanted to scream, but when he saw Yongque, he immediately swallowed the scream back into his throat with difficulty, and said tremblingly: "Madam, don't scare the villain, okay?" ”

Qin Slow was serious: "I didn't scare you." She held out her hand and pointed at the figure, "Look closely, that person just doesn't have a head." ”

Huo An was so frightened that he couldn't open his eyes, how dare he tell if he had a head.

Yongque's expression was cold, staring at the figure for a moment, but he took the initiative to meet it.

"Overseer!" Wang Xi wanted to stop him, but Yongque slammed into a blow, and put it down in a cold sweat before he could raise his hand.

Yongque stepped forward, Qin slowly looked at it, and actually came out from Yue and followed. Huo An wanted to stop her, but after thinking about it, he went with her: "Madam, aren't you afraid of this kung fu?" ”

Qin slowly hit casually: "The other party is not a ghost, what am I afraid of." ”

Yongque walked ten steps in front of the figure and suddenly paused, and quickly pulled back Qin Que, who had been bumping past.

Poof, with a dull sound, the viscous and thick smell of blood came to his face, and a trickle of blood spread down his headless neck, causing Qin to take a few steps back again and again, until his back was next to a solid arm.

The fallen corpse was wearing a flying fish suit specially made by Jinyiwei, the embroidered spring knife he carried with him was held in his hand, and a head was rolling a few feet away behind him, which was Shang Rong who had gone to explore the road with Lu Cun before.

Wang Xi's face was ugly and terrifying, and the back of his hand holding the knife bulged with green tendons. Those who have entered their line of work have seen countless lives and deaths, but the brothers who have lived and died together for many years died violently in front of their eyes, and the seven-foot-tall man also had red eyes. He stepped forward silently, touched the corpse, and said in a low voice: "Overseer, the man has been beheaded and died. ”

Yes, if a person is beheaded off, it is a hell to live.

But obviously just now, this person was still walking towards them step by step, the width of the corridor is limited, and they can immediately notice that there is one more person, it will not be ......

Everyone's eyes focused on the embroidered spring knife held by the dead Shang Rong, the blade was splashed with a little blood, Huo An said in a trembling voice: "No, it won't be Brother Shang who cut off his own head, right?" ”

Such a ridiculous speculation seemed to be the only explanation for the scene in front of him, and Wang Xi shouted: "Impossible! He clutched his knife and looked around viciously, his eyes bloodshot, "There must be something here pretending to be a ghost!" In short, he will never ...... him."

The rough man's voice was choked and couldn't go on, he and Shang Rong were Jinyiwei who entered in the same year, and the two were fellow villagers, coming and going in the wind and rain, and they were closer than their own brothers. Such a big living person said that death would die in front of him, and he didn't even have a breath......

The icy atmosphere was broken by a murmur: "yes, it's impossible to ......"

Yongque raised the eyelids that hung down to look at the corpse, glanced at Qin Slow without surprise, and said lightly: "How can one be impossible?" ”

Qin Slow's gaze slipped from above the corpse to the embroidered spring knife in his hand, and he wanted to step forward but found that he couldn't move, it turned out that Yongque was still firmly grasping her arm, like pinching a chicken......

Before she could struggle, Yongque had quietly let go of her hand, she blinked, looked at the corpse again but did not go any further, and said to herself: "Actually...... It's impossible to see if you see it. Although Shang Rong has a knife in his hand, it may just be for self-defense, you can see that there are blood stains on his knife but only spots, and the sleeve of his right hand can be regarded as neat. She looked at the neck with the missing head again, and said slowly, "But...... There was a lot of blood splattered on the hem of his clothes, almost staining his clothes. This shows that he did not commit suicide at all, and the wound on his neck was smooth and unbleached. Well...... It must have been caused by something extremely sharp and quickly cross-cut. ”

She finished speaking slowly, and subconsciously looked at Yongque, there was no joy or anger on the young handsome face, and only after listening to her words did she bow slightly: "That's true." He raised his eyes and looked straight ahead, "There is no one in the cave, and the murderous thing must have been set up earlier, so don't act rashly." ”

His words could stop Wang Xi, who couldn't wait to find out, and the atmosphere that had eased down suddenly became tense again because of his words. The formless, colorless and tasteless murderous thing is still here??

When everyone looked around, they didn't want to hear footsteps on the other side of the road, and suddenly their faces changed.

Huo An's mind turned extremely fast this time, and he almost immediately put his hands together and shouted on his lips: "Is it Lu Qianhu on the other side!" ”

The torch on the other side of the darkness flickered three times, confirming his identity.

Qin said slowly, "Let him not go any further," he said with a slight hean, "Let him use the torch to move forward and left and right twice." ”

Yongque laughed softly.

"Uh...... Good. Although he didn't understand the intention of Qin Slow's instructions, he immediately returned the words to Lu Cun on the other end without landing a word of the instructions.

Lu Cun really stopped, and saw the flame waving evenly from the left, and before it reached the right, he only heard a pop, and Huo An screamed.

A fire dragon suddenly appeared at the end of Lu Cun, and the blazing fire appeared only for a moment, and then disappeared from sight in an instant, leaving only a faint smell of burnt in the air.
