"Jiang Yuanzhong?"

Obviously, he had already made a judgment in advance, but Su Muxian still called tentatively.

"It's me."

A little orange light dispelled the darkness in the tunnel, and the fire light was extinguished, reflecting the young man's half-handsome face. With his stature, he even had to bend down slightly in the tunnel, even so, at this moment, he looked as tall and majestic as Mount Tai.

…… Don't accept any rebuttals, it's tall anyway.

Su Muxian looked up at him blankly, and the feeling of thinking about it coming true made her a little confused for a moment whether it was a dream or a reality. If it's a dream, can the dream be longer?

Jiang Yuanzhong squatted down in front of her helplessly: "Why are you crying?" ”

Su Muxian didn't know why: "Huh? ”

"It's okay, don't worry, I'm already here."

He stretched out his hand, and Su Muxian subconsciously covered his forehead and dodged back, in exchange for an even more helpless sigh.

"What are you hiding?"

Su Muxian put down his hand and said, "I thought you were going to flick my forehead again." ”

It's all because he usually plays too easily, and now whenever I see him raise his hand, I will have such an illusion.

Jiang Yuan shook his head again, took out a clean handkerchief from his arms, and carefully wiped the tears hanging from her eyes. He looked at her half-sitting on the ground again, and asked in a low voice, "Can you still walk?" ”

"Yes, yes." Su Muxian replied hurriedly, and was about to hold on to the wall, but as soon as she used her feet, there was a burst of heart-piercing pain, which made her eyebrows twist into a ball.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yuanzhong held her shoulder in time and asked with concern, "It hurts?" ”

Su Muxian bit her lip and looked embarrassed, and whispered, "It seems to be ...... The soles of the feet are blistered. ”

She had walked for so long before, and she had almost lost sensation in her legs and was only driven by inertia, but now she stopped and rested for a while, and as soon as her feet regained consciousness, the pain of wearing out the blisters instantly surged up.

"I'll carry you." Jiang Yuanzhong said immediately.

"It's useless, it's so low here, you can't stand up straight yourself, how can you walk with me on your back." Su Muxian shook his head and simply rejected his offer.

"Then go a little further, and the road after that will be wider, and I will carry you again when I get there."

"It's fine."

Jiang Yuanzhong asked her to lean on most of the weight of her body, encircled her with one hand, and raised the fire fold with the other hand to light the way, and the two slowly walked forward along the tunnel.

The road was quiet, and only the sound of breathing and footsteps of the two people could be heard.

After being silent for a while, Su Muxian couldn't help but ask, "How did you find me?" ”

She accidentally touched the mechanism and entered the secret passage, and walked alone for most of the day, never thinking that Jiang Yuanzhong would come to save herself. He didn't know where he disappeared, and he didn't necessarily know where the secret passage was, and it was impossible to find her accurately. And yet he showed up.

"This is an underground secret passage secretly built when the palace was built."

Walking to the spacious place, Jiang Yuanzhong carried Su Muxian on his back, and explained the background to her first as he walked.

"And then?" Su Muxian lay on his back and tossed gently with his steps, and the hot breath exhaled was also far and near in his ears.

Jiang Yuanzhong ignored the strange appearance coming from his ears and continued: "You have been missing for most of the day, and Master Xiangming and I have found no trace of you since we found Tianliang at night, and we once suspected that you were taken away again. However, when we saw Lu Sheng and the others who were rescued, and asked a little monk who had seen you, we immediately overturned this conclusion and speculated that you may have strayed into the underground secret passage of the temple. ”

"This tunnel was built by the craftsmen who built the palace, and it extends from the palace all the way to Qiyun Temple. The master only had the approximate marked route, and since we weren't sure where you were, we had planned for a long time before we decided to blow up the way in a corner outside the temple and let me go down and try to find you. ”

Su Muxian suddenly interjected when she heard this: "You don't know where I am?" So there are a lot of tunnels underground? ”

Jiang Yuan nodded again: "That's the case, and the so-called map in Master Xiangming's hand is also calculated by later generations based on the notes of predecessors, and in fact, there is no definite number for whether it is accurate or not." But fortunately, it was a one-hit hit, and I dug a secret passage along the way. ”

"How many secret passages are there underneath?"

"Twelve."

Su Muxian blinked a little surprised: "So many." ”

Qiyun Temple is not necessarily how big, this is a secret road underneath?

"It should be said that with the addition of the one you walked, it is a total of thirteen." Jiang Yuanzhong added.

"What do you mean by this that my path is not a real secret way?"

No wonder she said that the road they were walking on was so wide, and that the road was so narrow, and they had to be careful not to hurt their foreheads at all times. It turned out that it was not the same use in the first place.

"The palace is building a secret passage to give latecomers a way to live, and there is only one exit that can really escape from these twelve secret passages." Jiang Yuanzhong explained, "After the construction of the palace is completed, the craftsmen have to extinguish their mouths, so in order not to be destroyed, someone secretly built another way to escape, which is the one you just walked." ”

"In other words, is it luck that I have walked for so long and not gone any other way?"

Obviously, I feel that she has been going straight all the way, and she has no choice to face a fork in the road at all.

"So to speak." Jiang Yuanzhong said, "When I came down, there were three intersections in front of me, I chose one at random, and I picked up the hosta you dropped after walking for a while." ”

What he just bought a few days ago, what style and what material, he already knew it in his chest, and he knew everything as soon as he touched it. also made him more sure that Su Muxian must be trapped in the secret road, and this is the way he is taking.

Su Muxian hugged his neck and sighed: "This is luck." ”

Jiang Yuan bent the corners of his mouth and chuckled, "Maybe it's a bad fate?" ”

Su Muxian shook Xiao Fan fist and slapped him.

"Where are we going now?" She relied on her own sense to find that the two of them were not heading towards Qiyun Temple, but had a feeling that they were getting farther and farther away.

"Go where this road came from." Jiang Yuanzhong replied succinctly.

Su Muxian: "......"

Su Muxian: "Emperor, Imperial Palace?!" ”

Please tell her that she guessed wrong.

Jiang Yuanzhong said "um" and did not speak.

"Why go to that kind of place? It's not good for us at all, is it? Su Muxian was confused, and he couldn't understand Jiang Yuanzhong's intentions at all.

"Because ......," he smiled, "when I came down to look for you, the road was blown up." ”

And not only did the tunnels of that section of the road collapse, like a chain reaction, but the other retreats also collapsed.

Su Muxian: "...... Wait a minute. ”

How she felt as if she had heard something terrible.

"The road to the rear has been cut off, and we can't go back now, so we can only continue to move forward." Jiang Yuanzhong said very calmly, and then felt someone's teeth hit his shoulder.

"The clothes are dirty." He kindly reminded.

"Phew, bah, bah." Someone quickly put away his little tiger teeth.

"So do you have to go to the palace?" Su Muxian asked.

"You have to go, only there can you get out of the tunnel." Jiang Yuanzhong replied.

As they spoke, they stopped in front of an empty stone wall, there was no way ahead, and unless there was some mechanism, it was a dead end.

Jiang Yuan bent his fingers and knocked on the stone wall.

Tuk-tuk.

The walls are solid and extremely heavy, and it is impossible to push them open by human means.

So you have to find out where the mechanism is.

Jiang Yuanzhong looked up at Su Muxian, only to see the latter covering his mouth and yawning lazily, and the whole person casually leaned against the walls on both sides.

"Titicaca......"

The stone wall spun on its own.

Su Muxian: "Don't look at me, I really didn't do anything!" ”
