On the evening of this day, the prince stayed in Yun'er's room, and Yun'er said: "Lord, Yun'er has something I wanted to tell you a long time ago, and I am afraid that you will not dare to say it if you are afraid." ”

"What's the matter? And the black dragon is here again? "The prince is a little nervous. He himself was not afraid of the black dragon, but he was worried that Yun'er would suffer another unwarranted disaster. hugged Yun'er tightly, as if the black dragon was really coming.

Yun'er laughed: "What are you doing?" Talking about the dragon's color has changed? Not her. ”

"You scared the hell out of me. What's up? Seems to be very secretive? ”

"Yes, some time ago, when Yun'er was not well, I couldn't sleep at night, and when you weren't here, Yun'er tossed upstairs and downstairs. One night I wanted to read a book, so I went to the bookcase against the north wall to get the book, who knows where I touched it, the bookcase actually became a door, and it opened......"

"Do you know what you're talking about? The bookcase becomes a door...... No, I'll have to see. ”

"What are you doing? More anxious than Yun'er? ”

"Okay, you say, you say."

It just so happened that Yun'er had a candle in her hand and entered through the open door. To the right is a passage that goes down sixteen steps, and then there is a passage that resembles a sandwich wall, about a zhang away, and a section of steps leading to the bottom, also a dozen. ”

"Wait! You mean, you're the only one who went down? You girl is so bold, why don't you ask the fish to go down with you? Didn't she spend the night in the outhouse? ”

"There are two more grandmothers in the outhouse, okay? There is an underground secret passage in the house, and everyone shouldn't know about it, right? It's a shame that you're still a prince. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, what you said makes sense, you can't tell anyone about this kind of thing, you continue."

"Maybe Yun'er borrowed the courage of the black dragon, and he was not afraid to go down the secret passage at all. It should be called the secret room, and it is a large, very large place, with stones at the feet, slabs on the head, and several rows of stone pillars in it. There were two glowing balls on the wall far away, and Yun'er walked over to see that the glowing balls were embedded in a wall carved with nine dragons. The light was not particularly bright, but Yun'er's own feet could be seen. I took the candle lamp and shone it around, and found that the secret room was very large, and I couldn't see it from a distance, and it was very scary, so I hurried back. ”

"You're so bold, what if there's a person or any mechanism or animal hidden inside?"

"Where did Yun'er think of so much? I didn't stay in it for a while, I wore less, I was cold, and I was a little scared, so I came back quickly, closed the bookcase, and didn't push it open with my hand. When I came back, I was scared and slept for a long time. ”

The prince was very distressed and hugged Yun'er in his arms: "Don't go down by yourself again, you know?" ”

"Yes, Yun'er won't go again, I'm very scared to think about it."

"What do you think it's for?"

"What can you do? It's just a room frame, if you store grain, vegetables or something, it's not bad, it's cold inside, it doesn't seem to have rats. ”

"Don't tell anyone about this, do you?"

"Didn't Fu Jin tell you either?"

"Whether it's Fujin or your parents, you can't reveal a word! They are all thoughtful people, and they think a lot, and if they knew that there was such a big cave under our feet, they would definitely be so worried that they couldn't sleep. If the relevant people know about it, go to the informant, say that we are going to rebel, and prepare the secret room where the grain is stored, what will happen to us? ”

Only then did Yun'er realize the seriousness of the matter. Since Yun'er recovered from her illness, Fu Jin opened her heart to Yun'er, taught her how to deal with the daughters of the royal family, and bluntly told her that the queen mother was suspicious and scruples about the prince, in case the queen mother came to the house, she must be cautious and cautious when talking to her, and don't let the queen mother seize the so-called handle, otherwise not only the prince, but also the lives of hundreds of people in the palace will be gone.

The prince asked Yun'er: "Have you mentioned the underground secret room with Yu'er Shui'er?" ”

"No, no! Yun'er knows that this kind of thing can only tell you one person, because you are a family member in the house, if Yun'er hides such a big thing from you, if there is something in the future, it will be too late to regret it, at least you can think of a way to deal with it. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, don't be too nervous. This secret room must have been dug out by the prince of the Ming Dynasty in order to hide the gold and silver. What else did you find? ”

"A few days ago, Yun'er framed a painting in the hall downstairs, and it was very spacious. I put the framed heart and painting heart in the actor's dressing room in the northwest corner of the small stage. In addition to the heart of the word, there are also sky rods, ground rods, shaft heads, brooms and so on. In the middle of the night, I suddenly wanted to sweep the yard on a whim, and remembered that the broom was in the small room of the dressing room, so I went downstairs to get it. Yun'er went downstairs in the hall, but no one found Yun'er. As a result, he stepped on a round pole and rolled on it, and almost fell, so he grabbed things everywhere, and ended up grabbing at the feet of Maitreya Buddha who was enshrined on the north wall. This is called temporary cramming, but the lamp in the hand is not thrown away, if it is thrown, there are waste paper strips and sawdust under the feet, and it is really possible that there will be a fire. Just as I was thinking about coming back quickly, the shrine dedicated to Maitreya Buddha turned into a door and opened like a bookcase......"

"Huh? How so? How many secret tunnels are there in this courtyard? ”

"Not far after Yun'er went down was the step down the secret room, very strange, how could it be the same as the secret room that I came last time? Holding the lamp and looking around, when I turned around, I saw more than a dozen steps going up, and pondered for a moment, it turned out that this place was the same thing as the passage of the bookcase in our room. That one was downstairs, and this one was downstairs straight to the steps of the secret room. I didn't go in and came back directly, tossed in the middle of the night, and when I came back, I had a cold and sneezed for several days. You can figure out how to cover up the passage of the secret room so that no one can find out. ”

"You're right, you must cover it up, you have lived here for a long time, and you don't know that the soles of your feet are empty. If someone finds out and enters the palace through other passages, they will not only steal our things, but also kidnap our people......"

Yun'er was frightened when she heard this, and hugged the prince's waist tightly, and her arms and legs chatted with the prince like an octopus.

The prince laughed: "What are you doing, I mean, look at you scared." Let's sleep, Ming'er has breakfast, let's go on an adventure. ”

Yun'er let go of the prince: "My mother, the white hair and sweat are scared out." ”

The prince said to himself: "If you use this secret room to store some food or something, you can really deal with the famine years or the war and chaos." You know this, I know this, can't you tell anyone about it? People's mouths can't be pierced, and it is unknown that people with ulterior motives will take this as evidence of our crimes. People still have the problem of adding branches and leaves, and you have heard of three people becoming tigers, right? Don't get in trouble, remember? When the day dawns, let's go down and take a look, take the household belongings, and wear more clothes, otherwise how can this king rest assured? ”

The prince patted Yun'er's back lovingly and asked, "Yun'er, there is something that this king hasn't figured out, you and Qing'er were originally people who didn't match, she practiced in the Taoist temple, and you sold paper and pens in the capital, how did you meet?" ”

"Well, that's a long story. To put it simply, at the beginning, Qing'er was still kind to Yun'er. When I first arrived at the paper store, because I was framing in the back room, I didn't wear men's clothes. One day, Yun'er went to the door to pour water and came back, so he followed up with a man, leaned forward to Yun'er, and said sweetly that he was not good, when his uncle was not there, Cousin Minghe stopped him, but he knocked his cousin down, and it seemed that he still had some effort. Then he came to Yun'er, Yun'er beat him hard with a ruler that drew a line, and shouted for help, and his cousin also got up and fought with him, protecting Yun'er regardless of his life. At this time, a very beautiful girl came in, but her skin was a little darker, and she was still wearing a practice uniform. Maybe I heard Yun'er's shouting and came in to hug each other. I didn't see how hard she used to lift the disciple up and throw him out of the door like an eagle catching a chicken, and the guy didn't scream quietly. Later, I heard that the man was the nephew of the great general Aobai, Sebende, and he was an adulterer. He relied on his uncle's power to bully young women often. In order to avoid him, his uncle rented another shop in West Street, not only changed the trade name, but Yun'er also changed to men's clothes and called Long'er. For a long time, that Sebende didn't come to Yun'er for trouble, maybe he really broke his leg to recuperate, and then met you, and soon married you again. The shopkeeper Zhao of the neighbor's shop said that not long after Yun'er got married, Seben had to come to look for it, but he didn't find it. At the beginning, Qing'er gave people a very good impression, being bold and sticking a knife in the ribs for friends. also talked about some things about cultivation, it felt quite profound, who knew that she was approaching Yun'er with a purpose. ”

In the few years that Yun'er and her have been friends, Qing'er has successively taught Yun'er some kung fu, she said that it is her unique kung fu called "Qinglong Claw", which is used for self-defense. You also know that Yun'er's experience, background and hobbies are not very suitable for martial arts, although he is very envious of kung fu, but if he really wants to practice Sanjiu in winter and Sanfu in summer, he really can't endure that hardship, so he is not very willing to learn. Yun'er's interest is in practicing calligraphy and painting, where is the time to practice kung fu? repeatedly prevaricated, but Qing'er became annoyed and said something ugly to stimulate Yun'er. Yun'er thought about it, she was also kind-hearted, afraid that Yun'er would be bullied by the disciples, if she had a protective kung fu, it would be a good thing. I learned from her. But I feel that something is wrong when I learn to learn, the kung fu of self-defense is to defend myself, I can't be so ruthless, the moves are all life-threatening, the movements are very sharp and fast, and the moves are also decisive and agile. Yun'er has accepted her father's teachings since she was a child, don't hurt life, don't fight bravely. Yun'er has never even pinched a bug to death, let alone killed someone. I wanted to put it down and not study, but Qing'er regarded Yun'er to death, and she had to learn for an hour every day, and if she didn't learn, she would get angry and reprimand Yun'er. In fact, the moment Yun'er grabbed your neck was the 'Black Dragon Claw', but your reaction was fast, and your kung fu was very powerful, and you avoided seventy percent, otherwise your neck tendons might be scratched. ”

"This Qing'er has a very strange temper. said that she has a good heart, she often plays with those wealthy disciples, at least she makes her nose blue and her face swollen, or she can't get out of bed because she hurts her muscles and bones. I often find some handsome young men to spend the night with her, and I heard that some of the people who accompanied her have become crippled, and there are also unconscious people for a year or two. said that she had a bad heart, but she saw that she was uneven and pulled out a knife to help. Especially like to rescue young women who were bullied by Deng's disciples, saying that bullying a woman is bullying her, and bullying the elderly and children should also be taken care of. Yun'er had seen the black dragon grab out the tendons on the arms and legs of the gangsters and break them. She didn't beat people to death, saying that she didn't kill, Yun'er was very afraid of her. ”

At the beginning, Yun'er was grateful to her, but later she didn't even listen to her own control when she thought about anything. Thanks to the master who rescued Yun'er, not only saved Yun'er's life, but also eliminated the kung fu of the Black Dragon Hard Sex Sect. In fact, Yun'er used to have kung fu, but the master didn't let it be used casually in the world, because he was afraid that Yun'er would not be able to grasp it well and show it, or if he was excited, he would hurt people's lives, so he didn't give it to Yun'er as a last resort, so usually Yun'er couldn't make it even if he wanted to, and was sealed by the master. ”

"That's fine, Master has always done things very reasonably." The prince said.

The next day, the prince and Yun'er got up early in the morning, put on tights, took the lantern, the prince carried his male and female mandarin duck sword on his back, held his iron rod in his hand, plugged in the door of the inner room, opened the bookcase and entered the secret room.

The prince took Yun'er's hand, clenched the iron rod, and slowly walked down the stairs. Yun'er's other hand was holding a lantern and nervously following the footsteps of the prince.

Sure enough, as Yun'er said, on the far wall on the opposite side of the steps, there were two shining balls, and the prince told Yun'er that they were the pearls of the night, and Yun'er's eyes widened. I've only heard of the night pearl and haven't seen it, so it turned out to be like this. The inside of the secret room is very large and long, as if it encompasses the entire patio building. The ground and the walls were all of stone, and it felt like the stone slabs above the head were very thick, and there were many rows of stone pillars supporting the stone slabs and buildings above, which were very thick and sturdy, and there was no sign of weathering. The two of them walked along the stone wall, and the prince knocked on the wall with an iron rod from time to time, and the wall was so thick that there was no sound in the air. The wall inlaid with the night pearl is white marble, and the concave and uneven carving of nine dragons with positive images should be called the Nine Dragon Wall. The carving is very good, delicate and vivid, and belongs to the relief. The prince fumbled around this nine-dragon wall for a long time, but he didn't find the switch. The prince felt that there should be an exit to this stone wall, and groped from left to right, from top to bottom, and there was no place to move. I had to give up. Although I am a little disappointed, I am relieved that at least no one will come in and hide here.

The two men then searched for an exit. The feeling to the prince is that there must be more, but it is difficult to find, the stone wall is full of potholes, if there is a switch, you have to touch it little by little, I am afraid that it will not be finished in a month. This secret room is really admired by the prince. I think of the earthen cave for grain that was cracked in Shanxi back then, which is much simpler and smaller than this secret room, and can hide so much grain and treasures, how many things can be contained in this place!

The two of them returned to the room the same way, Yun'er closed the mechanism of the bookcase, changed clothes, and went to serve tea to the prince.
