Chapter 199: The Basement
Hoarse, muffled, relieved.
She had heard him say this more than once, and she thought that she was already in turmoil, but it turned out that she would still feel distressed.
I remember that when I woke up that day, the first thing I felt was not the piercing pain in my shoulder, but the figure next to the bed, this man was full of stubble, his eyes were staring at her hand blankly, but he didn't know what he was thinking.
She could barely recognize him, until her bloodshot eagle eyes met her and she realized that there was something called fragility in them, which this domineering man should not have......
Qing Li stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around his waist, and rubbed his sideburns against his sideburns. His firm, rough skin made her itch slightly, but her heart was indescribably steady.
"I know......" she whispered against his ear.
The loud rumbling in my ears stopped, and there was silence in the tent.
"Boss!"
The young general's voice broke the silence in the room, Ling Yichen's face darkened, and even his breathing was a little heavier, and he rushed out: "What are you doing!" ”
The angry roar suffocated the young general, and he trembled before continuing: "Boss, there was an avalanche on the top of Langya Snow Mountain, and Vice General Huang said that Xichuan's patrol guards had lost at least a thousand people, and the mountain might be closed next. ”
Langya Snow Mountain is covered with snow all year round, this time the explosion of the tunnel shook the roots, and it was expected that an avalanche would occur, and it would be better for Xichuan to close the mountain, so they could bomb it unscrupulously.
This kind of thing should also be reported to the public......
Ling Yichen had already started grinding his teeth.
The young general didn't get a response for a long time, and he boldly said again: "Boss." Found a little strange in the process of blowing up the tunnel, do you want to check it out......"
These words made Qing Li's eyes light up.
She wanted to get out and about, and now there's something interesting. Just an excuse to go out!
Looking at Qing Li's glowing eyes, Ling Yichen smiled helplessly. He picked up her fox fur and wrapped her tightly, and reminded: "An hour." ”
"Good!"
……
The tunnel had been blown up for some distance, and the heavy smell of gunpowder smoke was very pungent, and it was pitch black inside, and you had to hold a torch to see.
The young general led the two to the end of the blasted tunnel. There were quite a few people gathered in one place, squatting on the ground, not knowing what they were looking at.
Vice General Han pondered for a long time to no avail, and the big lama stood up and stomped twice. Seeing Qing Li and Ling Yichen with sharp eyes, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Boss, it took a long time to blow up a broken thing, and I don't know where that strange slate came from." Can't even move it! ”
Flagstone?
Ling Yichen walked over with a torch. Everyone consciously dispersed, and sure enough, a huge stone slab was placed on the ground, and the pattern on it was very strange, like a big flower, but there were no stems and leaves.
When Qing Li and Ling Yichen saw each other, their eyes widened in shock, and they both saw inexplicability in their eyes.
Manju Sawa ......
Once Ling Yichen took a piece of silkworm cloud brocade for Qing Li to identify, and the embroidered pattern on the head was such a flower. The two are relatively familiar with this.
Qing Li gently brushed away the soil around the stone slab and found that it was still a marble slab. It's as if it's widened, except that there are no carvings on it.
"It seems that this slate is just the tip of the iceberg, there should be something else down there, maybe it's still a basement." Qing Li pursed his lips and smiled, it was unbelievable that such a thing could be blown up in the tunnel.
Ling Yichen took a closer look at the stone slab carved with Manzhu Shahua, and felt that it was a bit similar to the embroidery on the Yunjin Pa, but it was not quite the same, and the textures on it were even a little familiar when they were blended together.
"How do I look at it, it's a bit like the Luo Shu River map?" He muttered.
Luoshu, commonly known as the turtle book, is the source of the five elements of yin and yang. In ancient times, it was once rumored that there was a turtle out of Luoshui, and there was this figure on the carapace, and then later, it deduced Zhou Yi, Five Elements, Shangshu, Hong Fan and so on.
Qing Li couldn't help but wonder, "You still understand this?" "The art of the five elements is vast and profound, and she has only heard of it, but she has never dabbled in it.
Ling Yichen shook his head, "It's just a rough fur, how can you understand?" Speaking of which, the county lord is proficient. ”
He thought for a moment and ordered: "Go and invite the county lord to come over and have a look, don't blow up here first, change the direction." ”
Everyone received the order, and dispersed in twos and threes, and Gao Ying came over after a while, and naturally followed Nangong Yue behind him.
Before anyone could speak, she saw the stone slab on the ground at a glance, and Qing Li clearly felt her eagerness and shock, and almost took three steps and two steps to pounce.
"How could it be...... How did it end up here? Her hand caressed the carved texture, and her eyes were more of a love that no one had ever seen, a little excited, but too cautious.
I saw her kneeling in the middle of the stone slab, her hands patting and tapping rhythmically in different directions around her, no one knew what she was doing, but they tacitly did not disturb her.
At the end of the beating, there was no reaction, and just when everyone was still confused, the ground seemed to tremble a little.
The stone slab where Gao Ying was kneeling suddenly opened, and her whole person quickly fell, and Nangong Yue and Qing Li, who were closest to her, were about to grab her, but they were all brought in by inertia, Ling Yichen was so shocked that he jumped down without caring about anything else.
As the four people fell, the slate was closed again, and the remaining onlookers around looked at each other, and they all rushed over and smashed and pounded the slate for a long time, shouting loudly over and over again, but no one responded......
The sky was spinning for a while, and it was even more gray and dull in front of him.
Qing Li only felt that she was falling quickly, and there were exclamations from Gao Ying Nangong Yue and Ling Yichen in her ears, and before she could react, she was hugged into a thick embrace, and the familiar ink rosin made her feel at ease.
A muffled snort shook Qing Li's already injured shoulder with the impact to the point of pain.
It was soft underneath, but not as hard as expected.
"Tatsu!" In the dark, she fumbled around in panic.
She knew that Ling Yichen had blocked her meat pad, and if she fell down from such a high place, he must have been injured with that suppressed cry of pain just now!
"I'm fine." With a tightening of her waist, Qing Li was almost completely attached to his chest, and the sonorous heartbeat and warm breathing finally calmed her heart temporarily.
"Ahh
"Shut up!"
Nangong Yue and Gao Ying's voices rang in his ears, Qing Li breathed a sigh of relief, and then Ling Yichen got up.
Nangong Yue had brought in a torch before, and it was still sporadically fluttering with faint firelight, and he hurriedly picked it up and saved it, so that he could vaguely see the surrounding scene clearly.
And just looking at it is horrifying.
Everywhere you look, there are pieces of white bones, rotten corpse gas, gloomy atmosphere, on each skeleton, the throat, ribs, and spine have been pitch black, obviously they died of poisoning, but so many people committed suicide by taking poison at the same time, it is really appalling.
Ling Yichen hugged Qing Li a little tightly, as if to tell her not to be afraid.
Qing Li just smiled and shook his head, then turned around and asked, "Ah Ying, where is this?" How do we get out? ”
Gao Ying was silent, the firelight was dim, and she couldn't distinguish her expression, and after a long time, she looked up and slowly replied: "I don't know how to get out, let's take one step at a time." ”
With that, she took a step forward. Everyone looked at each other, and had no choice but to follow.
The place just now seemed to be a vast stone chamber, but it was not sight-looking to be piled up with white bones.
Qing Li paid attention to the clothes of the deceased halfway, and the style of the clothes Qing Li only felt that her eyes were raw, but she was clear about the hairpins scattered on the ground.
That is the most popular pattern in the previous dynasty, the nine-song female hairpin, especially the maid in the palace, almost everyone has such a hairpin, and there are even poems: Luyun Xiao sideburns female Luo Chun, that is, when the palace holds a spring banquet, hundreds of palace people wear uniform costumes and come over, and the delicate cloud sideburns hang high.
It is related to the previous dynasty again......
Qing Li was silent all the way, and suddenly heard the sound of rustling behind him, and by the faint light, he seemed to be able to see something flying around.
In this kind of place, there is no light all day long, even if there are creatures surviving, when they first encounter the light, they don't shrink back, why do they still have the audacity to pounce?
It felt like the sound was getting louder and louder, buzzing, like bees......
Her expression changed, and she exclaimed, "Put out the torch and run!" ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Ling Yichen quickly extinguished the fire and pulled her all the way to run.
Before Nangong Yue could react, he only felt that his arm was numb, and he screamed, and in the next moment, a cool and soft little hand grabbed him and pulled him all the way up.
That hand is clearly a woman's, and Qing Li has long been taken away by Ling Yichen, here, there is only ...... Gao E!
Nangong Yue's heart was pounding and beating fast, ignoring the stinging pain in his arm, grinning and smirking, and running with Gao Ying all the way.
Qing Li finally breathed a sigh of relief when he couldn't hear the buzz in his ears anymore, and Ling Yichen asked, "What was that just now?" ”
Gao Yi pulled Nangong Yue over, he didn't feel it in terms of excitement before, but now Nangong Yue found that his arm was in pain.
"Hey! What's wrong! Gao Ying gasped, because he couldn't see, so he had to ask loudly.
Wanting to see the situation in Nangong Yue, Qing Li asked, "Which of you brought the fire fold?" ”
Ling Yichen took out a light and approached Nangong Yue's arm, only to find that there was already black blood flowing there.
Qing Li took out a dagger and cut his clothes open, and as expected, the arm began to rot.
"Bear with me!" whispered, and with a scream of "wow", the piece of arm meat was cut off.
He quickly sprinkled the powder and tore off the hem of his shirt to bandage it, but fortunately there was not much blood left.
"Are you a man who can scream so loudly with a little injury?" Gao Ying's hand has been firmly grasped, and he has just been pinched lightly, so he couldn't help but sarcastically say a few words at this time.
Nangong was in a cold sweat as much pain, but he didn't have the strength to argue with her anymore, he looked at the cut meat on the ground pitifully, thinking about how much to eat to make up for it...... (To be continued......)
