Chapter 414: Dry Well
Ji Minghui brought me an unexpected surprise when he came next time, he quietly stuffed me with a small baggage, and after he left, I opened it and saw that it was my lost jade dagger, the small purse that Grandpa gave me, and the earrings of the spirit egg.

I don't know how he got it, but with these things, I feel confident. This time it's good, you can go to Luo Hongxuan, or even rescue Ye Xiaolan. I ate my food haphazardly, then got up and looked out the door. Through the small window, I could see that the walkway was empty and unguarded.
I carefully used a jade dagger to pry the door, but this is an iron door, and the lock is also an anti-theft lock, where can I open it. Just as I was retreating, leaning against the wall in distress, I suddenly heard the sound of the door lock being opened, and I quickly got up and ran over. Stretching out his hand, the iron door was opened.
I ran out, and I saw a red figure flashing by, running outside, I hurriedly followed, and saw that the red figure was a woman in red, floating in the air, floating lightly towards the basement.
It's a female ghost in red! She seemed to be leading me up, and I followed her without even thinking about it. It's not that I'm defenseless, but since the female ghost in red helped me open the iron door, she deliberately let me out, and if she wanted to hurt me, she naturally wouldn't do more.
I chased the female ghost in red out of the basement, and the exit turned out to be behind the rockery in the garden. At this time, the moon was thick, and I followed the ghost in red around the garden path, and lost her trace at once. Just as I was about to give up and find my way out, the figure flashed in front of my eyes again. This time she was waiting for me, stopping ten meters in front of me.
I saw that she was trying to lure me, so I ran after the red figure. Now I am no longer the timid little woman. After all these experiences, I'm no longer afraid of ghosts. At the moment, I just want to chase the female ghost in red and see where she is leading me.
The speed of the female ghost in red was fast, but I already knew her direction, and I followed the direction in which she disappeared, and after chasing her for a while, I passed through the pavilions and pavilions, until I stopped in a small courtyard. Although the house of the Liang Mansion is large, there are very few people, and the masters of the Liang Mansion are all evil magicians who manipulate gods and ghosts, and the family does not dare to raise more people. This made it convenient for me, and no one found out after running for most of the day in the middle of the night. Maybe it was the red-clothed female ghost in front of her who deliberately took a remote path that didn't alarm the people in the Liang Mansion.
I paused and began to observe the place where the Lady in Red had led me, a small abandoned courtyard, overgrown with weeds, desolate in the faint moonlight, out of place with the delicately carved courtyards outside.
I lost the trace of the female ghost in red when I chased here, and I was not in a hurry, and began to look around in this small courtyard. I found an abandoned ancient well in the courtyard, alone in the middle of the small courtyard in the glowing moonlight. There was a stream of yin qi coming out of the ancient well, I walked forward, only to see that the ancient well was still dark under the moonlight, I picked up a stone and threw it down. After a long time, I heard only a "bang", which was the sound of a stone touching the ground. It can be seen that this ancient well has dried up at some point, and there is no water in it.
I came here looking for the traces of the female ghost in red, could it be that the female ghost entered this ancient well, maybe this female ghost died in this ancient well before her death, and she brought me here to let me salvage her body?
I observed the edge of the ancient well for a long time, and by the moonlight, I found that there seemed to be a rope hanging on the edge of the ancient well. I reached out and pulled a rope ladder out.
"Is there anyone else here?" I muttered. Thinking that this might be a place for people to come and go, I was a little eager to go down and find out.
I looked up at the bright moon in the night sky and confirmed again that this was the northwest direction of Hefu. I climbed down the rope ladder that went down vertically.
The well was very deep, and I finally reached the bottom after about ten minutes of careful climbing. The moonlight above my head shone through the small wellhead of the ancient well, giving me a piece of light at the bottom of the well.
But the area of light was very small, and I slowly groped along the wall of the dry well, trying to find some switches or something. However, after I fumbled around the well a few times, the walls around the dry well were still the same ancient walls covered with moss, and there was nothing unusual about it.
Isn't there anything here? I can't help but doubt my own judgment. However, the artificial rope ladder is still there, which means that there are still people coming and going here from time to time, and there must be some secret tunnel mechanism or something. And there is no corpse of a female ghost down there, so what did this female ghost do when she brought me here? You won't be idle and bored to come to me to play, will you? Then she didn't have to go out of her way to get me out of the basement, right?
I patiently searched again, and finally I found a protruding stone brick. I moved gently, and one of the walls of the dry well slowly opened. A passage more than half a person high slowly appeared in front of my eyes, and I was overjoyed, "I finally found it!" ā
I rolled up my sleeves, held the passage with my hands, took a breath, and crawled into the passage.
It was a long, narrow passageway, with no light around it, but there was a faint air circulation. I adjusted to the darkness and crawled down the passage. The passage was apparently dug by hand, but for some reason it was opened into a narrow passage that could only be crawled by one person.
It was only after I had been walking for a long time that the light began to come from ahead. I cautiously followed the light, which was clearly the light of a torch. I didn't dare to be careless, this secret passage was full of danger, and I crawled in it, faintly feeling the danger approaching.
But I don't want to give up easily, it's all here, I can't turn back because of my sense of crisis, and I faintly smell a familiar breath of me. I followed the breath slowly, careful not to make any sound.
Soon, I was approaching the light source, and the passage came to an end. I poked my head out cautiously, and saw myself in the middle of a stone wall, and a wide hall below. Torches were blazing all around, and I smelled a thick smell of blood.
I looked at the light source, and in the middle of the hall, a long pool of water was overflowing with crimson liquid, and above it there was a "tick-tick" sound, which was the sound of liquid dripping. The heavy smell of blood emanated from the square pool. (To be continued.) )
