Chapter 8: Crypt Exploration
This night, the two were surprisingly excited. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThe foggy future makes the two of them cherish the tranquility of the present.
And Rong licked all the memories in his mind, and shared all the good memories with Qingge - how he walked the streets and alleys to beg for food with a group of little beggars when he was a child, how he was discovered by nobles, how he read books for ten years, how he took the top prize, how he practiced martial arts, what books he read, what thoughts he was influenced by, how he wrote a blockbuster article, what questions the emperor asked in the palace examination, how to answer, and the details. made Qingge sigh, this talented and fairy-like person was born as a beggar without a father. When he won the championship in high spirits, who could know the bitterness behind this glamour.
Before the sky was brightened, in the gray space, just when the blurred outlines of each other could be seen, a clanging sound of iron chains sounded outside the door. Qingge's body trembled slightly, both nervous and excited, it was time to come back.
"Wait until I get back." She nodded and smiled. She'll be fine, and so will she be.
And Rong also nodded slightly, and a bright smile bloomed on his broken face.
The comers were two little eunuchs. One is short and stout, and the other is tall and thin like firewood. The two went straight to Qingge, unlocked Qingge's shackles and shackles from the iron wall, and the heavy iron chains were wrapped around their bodies several times, and then locked again. Qingge was wrapped like a zongzi, trying to lift her qi hard, but found that this thousand-year-old dark iron was really different, and it could actually restrain her true qi from wandering, making her unable to lift her qi at all. I was a little more apprehensive in my heart.
"Let's go." She said calmly.
Taking a deep breath, Qingge followed the two eunuchs into the thick darkness.
āāāā
The two little eunuchs led Qingge through a secret door and into a damp and dark tunnel. After walking for a quarter of an hour, he stood in front of a dark, old plank on the ground. The little eunuch flipped the plank upward, revealing a cryptic staircase. Walking down the staircase, there was darkness in front of her, and the little eunuch grabbed the iron chain on her body and walked down all the way.
And Rong guessed correctly, they really took her to a secret place, intending to dispose of her secretly. Although it is dark here, she has dozens of catties of dark iron chains wrapped around her body, and if she moves slightly, she will make a huge noise, no matter where she runs, they will follow the sound to find it, how can she run away.
After another stick of incense, he went down to the bottom of the stairs, and Qingge's eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness. Adjacent to the spiral staircase, there is a narrow secret passage, the wall is constantly seeping water, cold and damp, it should have reached the ground. They struggled to move forward in the dark, the feeling of stepping on the ground was very strange, sticky and slippery, and they had to carefully maintain their balance with each step, and with each step, the soles of their shoes were sucked by some kind of suction.
"What's on this ground, fishy and smelly, sticky and slippery?" Qingge couldn't help but ask.
"You don't want to know what's on the ground. Walk well, be careful not to fall, you will never be able to get up again. The tall and thin eunuch said.
"What is it?"
"Leeches, fat leeches all over the ground. When you fall, they will quickly climb all over your body, burrow into your body, suck your brain and suck the marrow, and within a quarter of an hour, you will be a dry corpse. The tall eunuch said.
Qingge gasped and stopped talking.
Every once you walk for a while, there will be a three-way intersection. Three neatly arched openings lead into the unknown darkness. Gradually, Qingge had figured out the pattern of their walking, always following the rightmost path, as if walking on the edge of some huge lair.
"What's in there?" Qingge stared at the other two holes.
"Something more terrible than a leech, you won't even have a bone left when you get there."
The words that suddenly flashed in Qingge's mind and allowed him to say:
"You're going to run where they don't dare go......"
"If you come across something...... Don't be afraid" Qingge began to faintly excited, this may be the opportunity that Rong said.
She deliberately quickened her pace, although she was already out of breath, and the two eunuchs were even more chaotic and out of breath. They may not have martial arts, or their foot strength is not as good as that of a light song. Maybe the time is ripe.
Listening to the footsteps of the two eunuchs, Qingge could already distinguish the frequency of the steps of the two eunuchs.
When he reached the next fork in the road, Qingge listened carefully. The tall eunuch who walked in front walked slowly, each step far away. She listened to the timing, gathered her strength on her toes, and kicked hard at the tall and thin eunuch. The man lifted one foot, and before he could hit the ground, he was kicked by a huge external force and lost his balance and slipped in response.
Seeing the situation, the little eunuch behind Qingge immediately firmly grabbed the iron chain on her body, making her unable to move.
The tall man rolled desperately on the ground, and the smell of blood was thick in the air. A swallowing sound gradually drowned out his cry of pain.
Qingge's forehead jumped suddenly. She, killed. In order to survive, he killed a person so easily. She felt a wave of dizziness and nausea. The chains behind her tightened tighter and tighter, reminding her that there was still one person left unresolved. looked up coldly at the other little eunuch behind her, who was shorter than her.
"Release! I'll go on my own. "Singing softly.
The little eunuch watched his companion being devoured in an instant in front of his eyes, and he was already panicking. He never expected this weak woman to have so much strength.
"Brother......," the little eunuch cried to the man on the ground.
"Say, where are you going to take me?"
"Father-in-law Ping'an asked us to take you outside the palace from this secret passage."
"Outside the palace?" There was a hint of excitement in the mood of the light song. That peace took her outside the palace, naturally not to let her go, but to kill her unknowingly. But what if she got rid of this group of people and fled outside the palace by herself? The queen, Mengbai, and Rong, are not fuel-efficient lamps, if they can really leave the palace, it will be the best. Having made up his mind, he said softly and in a deep voice:
"I'll go with you, but I'll take the middle way."
"Girl, you can't go the middle way."
"Why?"
"There's a ...... in there. A man-eating monster. Legend has it that there are youkai who have been suppressed by the Blood Curse. Everyone who walked in was eaten by the monster, and no one came out. ā
Qingge listened silently, her eyes sweeping over the mysterious hole in the darkness. There are many branches here like an ant's nest, and it is a miracle not to get lost, and one of the roads is full of leeches, and if one accidentally falls, he will be eaten to only one skin. It's not surprising that there are monsters.
Looking at the frightened little eunuch, Qingge raised his eyebrows: "Are you willing to be eaten by leeches here, or are you willing to be eaten by monsters inside?" The choice is yours. Then he smiled, and the snow-white little tiger teeth flashed in the darkness.
