"You let go. Yan Ying gritted her teeth and said, but her body didn't dare to move.

"Looks like you're using this knife very well. Didn't you expect that it might be stained with your blood one day?" Wan Yan Sheng said, "I didn't expect you, you would be scared too." ”

The cold knife edge was against her neck, she didn't dare to swallow hard, closed her eyes, and said, "If you kill me, even if you reach the ends of the earth, someone will come to hunt you down until you die." ”

"There are quite a few people who want to kill me. Wan Yansheng said lightly, "To be honest, when I arrived in Bianjing, I was still worried that I would be killed." On the contrary, after I was imprisoned, they couldn't find anyone, so they thought that I was really dead, and I was able to get out. Since I've survived for half a year, I don't care how many more people will come to kill me. ”

Yan Ying said: "Is this so? That's right, I was ordered to arrest you, but I only knew that you were noble, but I didn't ask in detail, after all, there were too many people to arrest, and I didn't bother to understand." You're in the Star Picking Tower, so I don't want to know. ”

Wan Yansheng smiled: "Why are you jealous? I said, how much better can you be than me? Why do you wear silk and don't want to see the light? After that, why do you want to pretend to be Miss Nie?"

Yan Ying said coldly: "I don't want to remember anyone. If I had seen them and remembered what they looked like, I probably wouldn't have been able to control myself and kill them later. It is not a good thing to kill innocents indiscriminately, and the sect leader has said this to me several times, thinking that I am too extravagant in the matter of killing. I didn't expect that," she lamented, "I didn't guard against you, you scheming fellow. ”

Wan Yansheng said: "What you think is too terrible. I said, I don't want to take revenge, I'm here to borrow your life, to cooperate with you. ”

Yan Ying seemed to realize what he was going to do, and sneered: "Cooperation? I believe you, it's a ghost, right?

After Yan Sheng carried Yan Ying like this, he walked to the lake, and said with a smile, "I'm really sorry, the clothes you finally changed are going to get wet again, and I'll pay you one when I turn around." ”

Yan Ying said: "Then you have to survive first." Before you die, I want to ask you, what is the wind that blows you in such an inconspicuous place?"

Wan Yansheng said: "I saw a canary, it was it that brought me here. ”

Yan Ying smiled noncommittally and said, "You can be careful, this lake is not very good-tempered, don't bother me-"

Wan Yansheng turned a deaf ear, hugged her, and stepped in.

- Wan Yansheng thought at first that this lake was just a shallow ornament, but now it seems that he has misunderstood.

This is a very ordinary lake, very deep and very vast. Look around at the limit, and look down at the pitch black.

Except, the water temperature is hot.

If it weren't for the inconvenience of chatting in the water, Wan Yansheng would have to ask Yan Ying how she came up. Could it be that in fact, they are not people, but fish, otherwise how could they come ashore from this real lake and catch people?

It's unbelievable and unbelievable.

Wan Yansheng is a little afraid of water. When he was a child, he once fell into the river and almost drowned, and when he was unconscious, he saw such a scene: boundless and unfathomable, as if he had fallen into a heavy and chaotic nightmare.

But he didn't let go of the mandarin duck in his hand - at least he couldn't let Yan Ying escape. Although he was vaguely worried in his heart about whether the warbler would turn into a fish and swim away, reason told him that it was impossible—everything should happen for a reason. So he swam upstream, to the surface, poked his head out and took a deep breath—not forgetting to let the warbler breathe too, though she didn't seem to care.

Wan Yansheng felt a little embarrassed. He realized that his own nervousness was causing him to have trouble breathing.

Plan well, it shouldn't be.

Yan Ying laughed: "I can't imagine that you are so cowardly, don't you have the courage to commit suicide by jumping into the river?"

Wan Yansheng heard this laughter, and muttered angrily: "I can't go to death." Aren't you afraid that I'll drag you downstream? If you dive too deep, you'll die. ”

Yan Ying smiled: "If you really want to drown, I'm afraid you are earlier than me." When I was younger, I was more breathless than others, and I never lost. ”

Wan Yansheng said: "Is it better than holding your breath?

Yan Ying lowered her head and smiled: "So to speak." ”

Wan Yansheng was puzzled: "That-if you secretly ventilate, wouldn't you be able to see it?"

Yan Ying nodded and said, "That's right." So, it's a little more serious. ”

Wan Yansheng asked, "That-how do you compare?"

Yan Ying's voice suddenly lowered, and he said faintly: "Fill the bag with water and prick it on the head, whoever dies first will lose it, and the other person can take the bag......"

Wan Yansheng was shocked: "Are you all playing games so excessively?

Yan Yingjiao smiled and said slowly: "I have been playing such a game since I was a child. It's been compared a hundred times. It's not just a game, it's a stepping stone, a means of punishment...... If you slack off, you will be locked up in a house, put on a water bag and beaten up, in which you will gurgle and choke on water, and the person who has received such a punishment will often not make a second mistake, and the second torture will be longer and the chance of death will be greater. ”

Wan Yansheng said: "I can't imagine that such a cruel thing will happen in this era. ”

"Cruel things are always going to get more and more cruel. Yan Ying said, realizing that her emotions were not well controlled, and smiled reluctantly, "So, I don't think this lake is enough to bluff people." However, anyone who enters such a lake will feel scared, and that is true. ”

Wan Yansheng muttered and repeated: "Whoever enters such a lake will be afraid...... Wait a minute. Whoever sees it will be scared ......"

He realized something, thought for a moment, and laughed, "Ahhh You catch your breath, okay?"

Yan Ying sighed: "In order to control me, you really took great pains. ”

The water splashed in her face, and Wan Yansheng dived down again.

It was still the deep black, black as sleep.

Wan Yan Sheng is going downstream. The lake seems to be bottomless, and the further down it goes, the more chaotic it becomes.

Dreams will wake up, and if he "wakes up" here, what will greet him?

He didn't know. But dreams are just hallucinations, and it's the same here.

- And this rambling, perhaps, is the margin itself!

Yes, Wan Yan Sheng reached the pitch-black bottom of the lake.

It seems that in the boundless darkness, there must be edges.

And it's the only edge.

As he dived, he felt that the surrounding area seemed to be getting narrower and narrower, and when he reached out, he could reach out and touch the surrounding walls, and it turned out that the lake was funnel-shaped.

He crouched down and felt one hand down.

Because it was too dark to see clearly, he had to guard against a possible sudden attack from Yan Ying, and he was worried about whether it would be dangerous to hold his breath for too long - he was a little uncomfortable now. Wan Yan Sheng's movements were very cautious and swift, he touched inch by inch, looking for some place to get him out of here.

Sure enough, he touched a groove.

He followed the groove, and it was an arc-shaped outline.

Judging by its radian, this circle is large enough—big enough for a person to drill down and get out.

That's right.

As for what is going down and whether it will go through a longer passage, Wan Yansheng hesitated for a moment, and thought a little about whether to swim up again and come back again.

The conclusion is negative. If you go up and come down, you will consume more physical strength, and maybe you won't be able to endure even half of the time now, so it's better to gamble and take a risk.

He wanted to ask Yan Ying if it was safe to go on, but it seemed to be more like a proud show off than "asking": I have discovered this place, and it is useless for you to hide it! It's just that as soon as he opened his mouth, he spit out a bunch of bubbles like a fish, and he couldn't tell what he said, and he felt sorry for the gas he wasted, so he shut up stupidly. It's just that he can't speak, he doesn't want to choke on another mouthful of water, the gains outweigh the losses.

It's really a secret place, who has nothing to do to jump into the lake to see what will be on the edge of this lake? Even if you accidentally fall, the first thing you think about must be how to get ashore and how to escape, and as for the desire to explore inside, it is completely non-existent.

Then the next question is, how to open it.

It didn't bother him. He quickly found the doorknob, which indicated that the door was being pulled outward. He still held Yan Ying with one hand, pulled the doorknob with the other, and kicked it to the side, and then he heard the roar of the water, and the huge suction force climbed up from the soles of his feet, pulling the two of them down.

Wan Yansheng admired himself a little, and really found this mysterious entrance by mistake, which maybe not many people had discovered.

Yan Ying faced the secret door and slowly opened it in front of her, and the light came through, feeling a little surprised and lost.

She didn't expect him to react so quickly, perhaps because he had seen her emerge from the water, which cemented his faith.

Has his obsession always been so deep that even the smell of her has been obsessed with it for so long?

She was still thinking when her neck was pressed against the cold blade.

She smiled helplessly, thinking to herself, maybe luck is also a person's ability, otherwise how could Wan Yansheng encounter a certain death situation several times and three times, but miraculously not be able to die.

Maybe that's what makes the difference. The moment Wan Yansheng opened the door, he keenly felt the presence of light. His senses were already keen, and he had lived in the dark for a long time, and he was in danger at this moment, so a little light made him feel 100,000 points up: something bright must be a good thing.

When he was at the bottom of the lake, the light came from below, and when he entered, the light suddenly became a little stronger, and he clearly felt that it was a light shining down from the top of his head, like, maybe it was the sun?

He struggled upstream.

Great—I thought I was going to swim to the distance where I could do my best, but I didn't expect him to just scratch five or six times, and with a bang, the top of his head was light, and the fresh air penetrated into the seven orifices from all directions, and his limbs were so brisk, he shook his head in disbelief and inhaled hard: he was out of the water!

At this time, Wan Yansheng realized how bold he was. It's a joke with your life. After all, if he has a little longer, he may suffocate to death.

Thank you for the magnanimity of fate.

He walked to the shore with Yan Ying, his legs were soreness and weakness for a moment, and at the moment of staggering, he resisted the body's reaction, and his body slammed all the way.

However, Yan Ying keenly sensed his weak behavior, and immediately seized the opportunity to mock: "I said, you are tired from swimming, why don't you find a place to rest? ”

Wan Yansheng said: "I was worried about whether you would die the whole time. ”

Yan Ying refuted mercilessly: "I said it all, I am very good at water, and I can't die at all." You should be worried about whether I will kill you halfway, but I didn't expect that you still pretended to care about me? I'm afraid that you will drown, so say something that you don't have to cover up. ”

Wan Yansheng said: "I like the way you speak. It's normal for you to think that way, but I don't have to believe everything you say. If only one word you said was true, I wouldn't be like this," he sighed, "and put a knife on your neck." ”

The mandarin duck left Yan Ying's neck by an inch.

Yan Ying shook her head and said, "Words can't be said so absolutely. I've told more than one truth, but when you almost died, I was telling a lie. You can't think I'm cheating on you from start to finish because of one of your own results. Even if I want to arrest you, if I want you to submit, I will at least hand over a little bit of sincerity. You just can't tell when I'm lying. Would you like to take a guess?"

- Whoever makes me sad will be worse off than dead.

Yan Ying thought that if this sentence was true, then maybe it was her own problem.

Wan Yansheng shrugged his shoulders and said: "What is true and what is false, I don't bother to distinguish." I've hated guessing the most, and I've always been since I was a kid. So, I'm just going to ask – what is this place?"

Yan Ying laughed: "I also hate people who ask knowingly, of course, if you really don't know, then I didn't say it." This is the place you're looking for, Huayang's Sect - in the words of the righteous people, it's the 'lair', right?"

"Is it underground?"

Yan Ying said: "Let's just say that. Strange, when you're in the water, do you have water in your head? If you don't go downstream, do you still go upstream?"

Wan Yansheng looked around and said, "I want to confirm that I am actually dead, so that I can see that there is such a scene underground...... It's like being on the ground. ”

Beside him flowed a stream at the bottom of a huge mountain, which towered so high that it was obscured by the branches, and he knew it was the lake that had just been—who would have guessed that the lake filled the inside of a mountain, which was the container for the lake. He looked up until his neck was slightly sore, and he was surprised that he could dive such a long distance without dying.

He raised his eyes and looked around, it seemed to be an uncultivated primeval jungle, with hundreds of ancient tree branches stretching out on top of each other, and the pale green and dark flourishing leaves were heavy dark clouds that could not be blown away, covering the sky and the sun, adding a bit of terror.

There is no way to see the road, only trees in all directions, covering the sky and the sun in the deep mountains and old forests, as if a sharp sword fell from the sky and fell into the soil. A huge ancient tree stood in front of him, its dark brown bark thick and twisted like a coiling dragon crouching tiger, and the occasional wind blowing from nowhere, the dense branches and leaves rattled to form a wall of sighs. The wind shook at the tops of the trees, and the colossal rustle slowly pushed the branches, which crossed like a desert like an ocean. The sporadic cold sensation on the body makes people shiver.

The strange and distorted shape of the trees gives people a sense of distorted horror, even though there is light on the top, in this underground sky, Wan Yansheng doesn't know where the light comes from. The light shines through the branches, casting dappled highlights on the ground.

At this time, Wan Yansheng understood that it was not bright here, but the bottom of the lake just now was too dark.

"What an eerie place. Wan Yan Sheng said.

Yan Ying said: "It's used to scare off cowards, just right." ”

Wan Yansheng smiled: "If I go back now, what will happen?"

Yan Ying thought for a while and said with a smile: "I haven't experienced it, I don't know." All I know is that the back of that door is full of traps that, if not done properly, can turn into a hedgehog, or be poisoned, or lose too much blood. It's easy to get in, but it's hard to get out. How can the people who have been caught so hard let them run away with this secret so easily?"

Wan Yansheng said helplessly: "Ah, is that so? Since this is the case, then I can only be sorry for you." ”

Yan Ying said, "What do you want to do?"

Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly let out a short exclamation and went limp.

- After Yan Sheng hit her in the back of the neck, although she did not faint on the spot, but for a moment, she trembled all over her body and completely lost the ability to be on guard.

So Wan Yan Sheng used a little force in his waist and abdomen, hooked his arm upward, and picked up Yan Ying in the air, Yan Ying subconsciously curled up, and wrapped his arm around his neck.

After neatly completing the action of hugging horizontally, Wan Yansheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yan-Ying, aren't you? You are lighter than my eagle." That way, you don't have to go all the way, just show me the way. ”

Yan Ying gritted her teeth—she couldn't run away this way, and the action made her feel unbearable.

Wan Yan Sheng was very close to her, so close that she could hear his breathing and heartbeat, his heartbeat was very slow and steady—didn't she feel any heartbeat at all? When she thought of this, she was a little angry.

However, she lowered her head, and the mandarin duck was still on her neck.

So she scolded herself secretly, men really don't have a good thing.

She frowned, shook her head to shake the memory out, cleared her throat, and asked him matter-of-factly, "So, do you know how to go?"

"I don't know. Wan Yansheng said, "I only saw the result of 'you appear', so I just need to follow your order and come in reverse." ”

He looked up and said, "You don't have to hide, come out." ”

Rattle. It's not the wind that's rattling, it's the footsteps of people.

There were seven or eight people who came, all dressed in black and well armed. Their movements were also very cautious, approaching step by step, but they were afraid that Yan Sheng would hurt Yan Ying, so they said: "Let go of the Holy Maiden, otherwise you will ......."

Wan Yansheng looked at the few people approaching him, smiled slightly, and said, "Otherwise, what? I'm not stupid, let go of her and I'll die." You don't even have the conditions for the exchange, so why should I believe you? I would like to say a condition. If you want me to let her go, take me to your master. ”
