After returning home, Xiao Yu kept thinking about it, and some thoughts didn't belong. Xiao Pei thought that she was frightened in Niujiao Mountain today, or that she was contaminated with something unclean, so she put incense on the ground worriedly, prayed sincerely, and took out a bunch of spiritual talismans and other things that were said to ward off evil spirits.

Xiao Yu hurriedly cheered up, lest Xiao Pei find out that something was wrong.

In the evening, Yuanzhi hurried over with the carriage, saying that General Zhong had invited Xiao Yu to hurry over. Xiao Pei saw that it was not early, so he asked why.

"A friend outside General Zhong's city is highly poisonous, and the doctors are helpless, so I asked Second Miss Xiao to come over and take a look." Yuan Zhi hurriedly explained.

Human life is at stake, Xiao Pei naturally will not stop it, but urge Xiao Yu to go quickly.

So Xiao Yu packed up the silver needle medicine and got into the carriage. Because Xiao Yucheng was not there, and Hao Jun was not available, Xiao Yu went to Zhong Lang's friend's mansion with Dr. Tang from the General's Mansion under the escort of Yuanzhi.

Xiao Yu thought that this was just a disguise, but when she went there, she found that someone was really poisoned, and after some hecticism, she was able to meet Zhong Lang Huayue and quietly go to Niujiao Mountain.

Zhong Lang knew the location of the guards of the officers and soldiers and the time of the change of guards, not to mention that only two people came out of the ancient tomb today, one was stupid, the other said that he did not dare to go deeper, and the rest were silent. The officers and soldiers were frightened, far from the entrance of the cave.

Several people easily entered the tomb.

Hua Yue reached out and took out an egg-sized pearl that radiated brilliance in the darkness and handed it over. Xiao Yu turned his head to see that Zhong Lang also had it in his hand, and immediately carefully took this legendary rare treasure that he had seen for the first time and used it for illumination.

The tomb was cold, quiet, and full of dust. At first, the tomb path was flat enough to accommodate three or four people in parallel, but it didn't take long to reach the stone steps that descended, and the road became narrower and narrower, and finally only one person could pass through. Xiao Yu had no choice but to let go of Hua Yue's hand and fell behind.

Fortunately, Hua Yue can walk by herself without help.

I don't know how many steps I walked, and the stairs became wider again. The stone walls on both sides began to be painted with exquisite murals, flowing clouds like ribbons, a sea of flowers, and fairies dancing, which looked extremely beautiful in the faint light. The flower seemed to be a poppy.

After a while, two forks in the road appeared in front of the eyes.

Hua Yue chose the right side without any hesitation. After only a few steps, Xiao Yu felt a chill emerge from the soles of his feet.

In the dim light, the murals on both sides always felt as if they had just been seen not long ago, and the stone steps under his feet also felt high and low, making people dizzy, and Xiao Yu couldn't figure out whether to go up or down. Although the Night Pearl does not flicker like the firelight, the tomb is still light and dark. And the clear footsteps in the ears are also loud and small, echoing in the tomb, and a black hole fork in the wall pops up from time to time, which makes people tremble.

Xiao Yu's heart was pounding, and he hurriedly grabbed Hua Yue, and asked in a low voice, "Didn't someone come in before?" Why don't you see any of them? ”

"It's a different path." Hua Yue replied.

Xiao Yu stopped talking, and the tomb was quiet, only the footsteps of a few people were heard, which made people's hearts furious.

After changing the fork twice, Hua Yue paused slightly at the entrance of the first road and quickly continued to walk forward. Xiao Yu didn't think about how he judged it, he only knew to hug his arm to keep up, and even forgot that there was a Zhong Lang behind him.

"This fork in the road is right on the left." Hua Yue spoke, and after saying that, her arm moved slightly, and Xiao Yu hurriedly let go of her hand. Hua Yue should first go to the second fork on her left hand, with her back against the wall on the left.

Xiao Yu and Zhong Lang did the same, not daring to be negligent.

Not far away, a dark fork appeared on the stone wall, and there were two forks on the right. Xiao Yu's head was swollen early, and he really wanted to ask if he was tired of laying so many stone steps?

"Jump over." Before Hua Yue's words fell, she jumped lightly and landed at the fork on the lower right, and took a few steps up.

Xiao Yu hurriedly looked to the right, but saw that there seemed to be a shadow flashing at the black fork above, which frightened her into distraction, and she stepped back with a scream, and suddenly stepped into the air.

Fortunately, Zhong Lang quickly held her hand and shouted coldly: "Jump!" ”

Xiao Yu's hands and feet were weak, where could he still jump, he was in a trance, his body was light, and he was thrown by Zhong Lang in the air, and Hua Yue hurriedly reached out to catch it. Xiao Yu didn't care about anything else, and immediately hugged Hua Yue tightly, and her heart was a little settled, only to feel that the tip of her nose was filled with an elegant fragrance, and she was a little distracted.

"Don't let go yet." Zhong Lang jumped over lightly and said lightly, "That's from the Great General's Mansion." ”

Xiao Yu hesitantly poked her head out of Hua Yue's arms. A few people sneaked in, and now that they've been discovered, what should they do?

I saw a figure leaping towards me.

The man was also a little surprised when he saw Zhong Lang Huayue and the others. After he stood firm, he saluted the two of them before he said to someone who was in shock: "Second Miss Xiao." ”

Hua Yue's long eyebrows were slightly raised.

Xiao Yu reacted and relieved her flowers, seeing that although the person was bloodstained on his clothes, he was still in good spirits, and he was indeed a little familiar. After listening to his own introduction, he knew that it was a soldier under Ling Yi, called Xiang Yu, and his ancestors had been digging hills.

A few people continued on their way.

Xiao Yu has been holding her breath since entering the tomb, always paying attention to the fact that she is very nervous, for fear that she will not recover from one wrong step, she is already quite tired, and she is only forced to persevere because of her own safety, and she does not dare to slack off in the slightest, but the fright suddenly tears off her tense heart, and her legs and feet are a little stiff.

Hua Yue saw that her hand was trembling while holding it, and asked with concern, "How are you?" ”

Xiao Yu gritted his teeth and shook his head, "It's okay, let's go." ”

The stone steps under your feet seem to be endless, draining people's strength and mind. A few people walked silently, unusually dull.

"Be careful!" Hua Yue said abruptly.

Before Xiao Yu understood what was going on, he fell to the stone steps next to him, and then a heavy object fell down, and then he came again, only to feel that his chest was churning, and he was so sad that he almost wanted to vomit blood, and he couldn't help but snort.

At the same time, there was a loud roar behind him, and the ground seemed to tremble.

Zhong Lang stood to the side, Hua Yue also got up from Xiao Yu's back, she felt relaxed, there was no obstacle to moving her hands and feet, she turned to look, and was shocked to find that she was on the edge of another fork, and a boulder fell from the place where she was standing, blocking the road tightly.

Hua Yue and the others stood beside them, and Xiang Yu was nowhere to be found.

Xiao Yu asked in a trembling voice, "What's the matter?" ”

"Xiang Yu inadvertently touched the mechanism on the stone wall." Hua Yue said. He just heard the subtle sound of Xiang Yu holding his hand against the wall, and he only had time to pounce Xiao Yu beside him to the left fork and pull Zhong Lang. Fortunately, he had a tacit understanding with Zhong Lang, and jumped over as soon as he pulled it. The tomb is dangerous, which is also the reason why he didn't care much about Xiang Yu, and most of the people who came in were difficult to get out.

Xiao Yu knew that Xiang Yu was more than lucky, and his hands and feet were shaking, his chest was stuffy, and he barely regained his composure after taking a few deep breaths.

"It's a dangerous fork." After resting for a while, Hua Yue said, "But there is no other way to go now." Later, you two will make a note of where I will stay, and don't be negligent. ”

Xiao Yu listened to what he said cautiously, and hurriedly cheered up his spirits.

This section of the road was extremely slow, and all three of them were cautious and extremely cautious. Xiao Yu had cold sweat on the tip of his nose, and he didn't dare to wipe it.

Another fork in the road, the stone staircase was very long, with dark red mottled blood stains on it, and it was evident that someone had gone ahead of the three of them.
