22. [Two Two] into the ground

But where the secret words are chaotic, there will always be a law to follow and an orderly way to be found.

On the huge disc, Yongque's fingertips clicked on the scribbled and messy "words", and his eyes were calm and serious. The people around him held their breath and stared, for fear that a heavy breath would disturb his train of thought.

Qin slowly glanced at the horizontal and vertical stone faces, and looked away with interest, his eyes wandering from the birds frolicking on the branches to the clouds on the top of the cliff peak.

Huo An, who didn't dare to come out, pulled her sleeve and persuaded her to restrain herself, not wanting her to look at the sky and worry: "I don't know if I can rush back to dinner." ”

Even Lu Cun couldn't help but look at her twice and frowned slightly.

"If you go down now, if you don't slow down, you won't have to eat that meal."

Yongque, who had been silent, suddenly answered, his frowning eyebrows were flattened, his knuckles knocked on the stone plate, and the names of several people were named: "Lu Cun, Shang Rong, Wang Xi, turn this mill according to what I said." ”

Hearing that there would be no delay in dinner, Qin Slow relaxed a lot, and gave the Jinyi guards who came forward to withdraw from the world: "The overseer has been solved?" ”

Yongque is noncommittal, but it is a trick like a trick, everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that the ghost hand Ye Qing is treacherous, and ordinary people can't help but think about it when they see this secret word. If this is the case, I am afraid that I will not be able to unlock the key for the rest of my life.

"What's written?" Qin Slow asked curiously.

Yongque saw that she asked seriously, and raised the corners of his mouth: "The simple way of gossip, Ye Qing is good at carving and building, and it is not surprising that he has a little feng shui and strange doors." ”

"Oh......" Qin nodded slowly, "I can see that the Overseer is also amazing." ”

The corners of Yongquecai's mouth were a little unbearable, and it sounded like praising him, but why was he so distracted?

He snorted without emotion, his expression was as cold and arrogant as ever, and he looked at Lu Cun and pointed lightly.

However, after a moment, there was a loud bang, and Huo An reacted quickly and quickly protected in front of Qin Kuan to block the oncoming sand and dust, not wanting the stone plate to be separated, but not much dust was flying.

Qin slowly pulled down Huo An's arm that was blocking her, and whispered, "Someone moved it not long ago, and it won't accumulate dust." But thank you Huo Xiaogong! ”

Huo An stood aside and said ashamedly: "Madame**, it's the slave who is stupid." ”

**? She's more than a **?! Although he was not sure, Yongque had a hunch in his heart that all kinds of things here were inextricably linked to Qin Que. He is not a man who believes in intuition, and he doesn't even believe in what he sees, because what he sees, who he sees, and what he sees can be fake. He has been able to get to this point only because of his prudence, he is arrogant but never despises any opponent, even the nobody in front of him.

People's hearts are the most difficult to guess and the most difficult to grasp, Yongque has always been good at and used to figuring out other people's thoughts. His heart is like a quagmire abyss, he advances and retreats in a measured manner, and his square inches are excellent, and he has not missed. And this time he is a little difficult to hold the fire, whether the other party is wise and foolish, or foolish and wise, he has not yet seen through. Trying to see through it before it was already a sign of danger, he secretly took a breath to warn himself not to care too much about her words and deeds, and messed up his own pace and plans.

Qin slowly patted Huo An on the shoulder, followed Yongque to the black hole where Huo Ran appeared on the flat ground, the stone mills lined up in two pieces at the entrance of the cave were lying on the left and right, and a long stone staircase with no bottom came into view, and the cold wind poured up from the bottom, so that Qin Slow didn't notice it, and after eating a full mouthful, his throat suddenly itched and coughed.

As if he hadn't seen it, Yongque lowered his head and estimated the depth of the secret passage: "There is wind, depending on the situation, the ventilation inside is good, it should be the road they absconded from, Lu Cun." ”

He summoned that the young Jinyi guard was already holding a knife in one hand and a torch in the other, leading the villain into the cave first.

The torches were coated with thick oil, and even if the fire was blown to the ground, it was not extinguished, Huo An walked two steps to the left and two steps to the right around the entrance of the cave, and saw a little flame that gradually disappeared into the darkness suddenly shook three times, and said: "Overseer, save them to the bottom, it is no big problem." ”

Yongque hummed, picked up the steps to get down, suddenly paused, looked back at Qin Que who stretched out his head to the bottom of the cave and shrank his head, Qin Que touched his eyes and immediately turned his gaze away and pretended to look at the scenery, before he could speak, Yongque took a step forward and asked coldly: "What are you afraid of this time?" ”

She shrunk her neck and spouted: "I'm afraid of ghosts ......"

Then she was afraid of ghosts, and she was picked up by Yongque and taken to the cave......

┉┉∞∞┉┉┉┉∞∞┉┉┉

The black stone staircase seemed to be unable to go to the end, and the light above their heads became smaller and smaller, Qin slowly turned a corner, and the star-like point of light completely disappeared into the darkness. The dim light also seemed to blur the concept of time, maybe the darkness around was too oppressive, and Huo An, who was at the end, became more and more weak in his legs and feet, and had difficulty breathing.

And Qin Slow, who was afraid of ghosts in front of Yongque, walked steadily, but her eyesight seemed to be inferior to ordinary people in the dark, and she walked very slowly, saying that she was praising her if she was crawling. Take two steps at a time, look carefully, and then take a step down cautiously, and she heard Yongque behind her cough lightly.

She stopped in fear, and turned sideways to make a debut for him: "Overseer, my night vision is not as good as ordinary people, and I am procrastinating, so you should go first." ”

Yongque didn't appreciate her affection, stood by and watched, and looked at it lightly: "Then you have to walk in front, otherwise you don't know where to drag yourself behind." ”

He didn't give accommodation, and she had no choice at all, so she had to continue to walk down step by step under his scorching pressure, and went down a few steps Yongque asked, "Are you born with nocturnal amblyopia?" ”

Qin Slow paid attention to his feet intently, and replied unintentionally: "No." ”

"That's?"

I don't know if it's Yongque's illusion, Qin Slow's voice seems to be soaked in this oppressive atmosphere, revealing a hint of gloom: "Later, I accidentally hurt my eyes." ”

She continued to count the steps intently, Yongque silently walked behind her, his steps were so light that they were almost inaudible, and his long figure was pulled into a slender oblique shadow by the torch and cast at Qin Wan's feet. She looked stunned for a moment, her feet were empty, and before the person fell, a hand had firmly grabbed her shoulder and pressed her back into place: "Be careful." ”

His voice was cold, and Qin stood up for a moment with palpitations, and whispered, "Thank you, Lord." ”

I don't know if the thank you was for him to be merciful and helping, or for him to take the initiative to put her in the safest position

The shoulders under the palm are thin and narrow, and there is only a handful of bones in her hand, so that Yongque can't help frowning, usually watching her mouth stuffed non-stop, and I don't know where she has eaten. He was distracted, slowly let go of her, and said leisurely: "If you walk slowly, you can still step into the air, but it is better to roll down quickly." ”

It was already the norm for him to tease her, Qin was slow and good-tempered, and he touched his nose and decided not to bother with him.

After going down to the bottom unimpeded, stepping on the ground, Huo An let out a long breath, and the person suddenly became lively: "Girl, no madam, the little one is frightened to see behind, but fortunately, the overseer is taking care of it." Alas, the eyes are not small parts, and you have to call the hospital to take a good look at them when you turn around. ”

He was courteous, Qin Slow took it seriously, and hurriedly waved his hand in fear: "It's okay, it's okay, but it's almost at night, how can you bother the adults in the hospital." ”

Besides, once this is over, she still doesn't know whether she was released or skinned alive by Yongque, a world-famous cool official!

Yongque was used to seeing the quarrel between the master and servant, so he didn't want to pay attention to it, and when he didn't want to see Qin Slow's eyes that were slightly darker than ordinary people, he couldn't help but say: "It's the most important thing to avoid medical treatment, go back and call a few imperial doctors to take a good look." ”

As soon as Huo An heard that his old man had spoken, he said happily: "Yes, yes, the little one went back and asked Liu Yuan to give his wife a good diagnosis and treatment." ”

"Huh?" Qin Chu was dumbfounded when he heard this.

Lu Cun, who went down first, left one of them to wait for Yongque and them in the same place, and there was a passage at the end of the stone ladder, and the other two went to find out if there was an ambush trap in this passage. When they arrived, the man briefly explained where they were going and the situation in the corridor.

"I haven't come back for so long, it seems that the road is not short." Yongque gently dusted off the floating ash on his shoulders and turned his eyes to look at the mountain walls on both sides. There is a lot of living water in the mountains in the south of the Yangtze River, and the water veins are born along the rock formations, so the moisture in the Yongdao is quite heavy, and the further down it goes, even condenses water droplets.

It was a bright and sunny March day in spring, but inside it was a deep cold dew like late autumn and early winter, Qin slowly rubbed the goosebumps on his arm while staring at the mountain wall, looking at the top for a while, and looking at the bottom for a while, suddenly she sighed.

"How?" Yongque glanced at him.

Qin slowly stomped the cold air under his feet with his arms crossed, pointed to a place on the ground and said, "Overseer, look." ”

Yongque only found any clues, looked carefully, and found that the place she was pointing to was only a small piece of ordinary brown moss, Huo An took the first step to ask: "Madam, this is a piece of moss." ”

"This is a red ground moss, it is said to be moss but it is not moss, it likes shade but is afraid of moisture, so ......" Qin paused slowly, "Most of them are born in old coffins, and here ......" she looked around, "It is not suitable for the growth of red ground moss." ”

"Huh??" Huo An was confused, and it took a long time to smash it before he suddenly realized, "Madame means that someone once parked the coffin here?" ”

"......" Qin was speechless and said slowly, "Little Father-in-law Huo, do you look at the place as if it can be carried into a coffin?" Besides, what is someone carrying the coffin here? ”

Yongque didn't think about it, and already understood the meaning of Qin Wan's words: "You mean, someone accidentally scraped this piece of red ground moss from the coffin in the grave and accidentally left it here. ”

Qin sighed slowly and muttered, "I don't know if I'm not careful." ”

Huo An was horrified when he heard this, and said bitterly: "Bring it out of the coffin...... Who is that? ”

Qin slowly grinned and smiled faintly: "Ghost." ”
