Chapter Eighty-Nine: Falling into the Trap

Xiao Xinyi looked at the four people behind him, and gestured to enter the north courtyard, Elder Yu grabbed her and said in an almost inaudible voice: "Deputy hall master, the leaves of this forest are not moving when the wind passes, it is obvious that there is a formation in this forest, wait for the old man to go in first to investigate, and we will discuss the situation in the long term after I find out the situation." ”

Elder Yu was the only person who knew how to set up a formation in the Qingxiao Hall of Yongcheng except Xiao Xinyi, and Xiao Xinyi also knew that this method was the most appropriate, so he pondered for a moment and replied: "Elder Yu be careful. ”

Elder Yu nodded and stopped talking, and his body disappeared into the night with a slight movement. The three of them watched intently as Elder Yu entered the Shadow Forest, and after waiting for a while, there was no movement in the forest, not even a single bird, and after about half an hour, there was still no movement in the forest, and Elder Yu seemed to disappear out of thin air after entering the forest, and it was quiet and a little weird.

Mrs. Yu looked at Xiao Xinyi anxiously, Xiao Xinyi stared at the woods for a moment and nodded slightly to Mrs. Yu, and then gave Leng Moyan a look, the three of them cautiously approached the woods, Xiao Xinyi became more and more uneasy the more she walked, until she reached the edge of the woods, she did not notice any internal force fluctuations.

The last time she stood in this position, she obviously felt a strong internal force and murderous aura, but now not to mention the murderous aura, even the formation has disappeared.

Xiao Xinyi couldn't wait to step into the woods during the investigation, Xiao Xinyi was no less anxious than her, and when she saw that Mrs. Yu had entered the woods, she could only follow her and step in.

Outside the woods, a vague shadow could still be seen by the starlight and distant lights, but after the three of them entered the woods, it was like entering an endless black hole, there was no light and no sound, Xiao Xinyi could even hear the heartbeat of Mrs. Yu in front and Leng Moyan in the back, the three of them moved forward cautiously little by little, obviously with their eyes wide open, but they could only move forward by feeling like a blind man.

I don't know how long I walked or how far I walked, Xiao Xinyi only knew that there were towering trees standing beside him, and there was nothing else, the ground under his feet was firm and flat, and such a large forest did not have any fallen leaves at all.

Xiao Xinyi was in doubt in his heart, and Mrs. Yu suddenly stopped, and a little light lit up in the distance, Xiao Xinyi's eyes were as strong as others, and they could only see the bean-sized lights jumping in the distance, but Mrs. Yu and Leng Moyan could clearly see that the light was coming out of a house, and the three of them walked in the direction of the light. When they got closer, Xiao Xinyi finally saw a small house not far away, the door was closed and the window was wide open, and the fire was seen by them through the window.

It seems that the other party already knew that they had entered the woods, and deliberately lit this lamp to lead them here, Xiao Xinyi was hesitating to go to the house to find out, only to feel that there were internal force fluctuations around him, Mrs. Yu had turned over from the window and entered the house, there was only one table and one lamp in the house, and there was nothing else, and Elder Yu was lying on the ground motionless.

Xiao Xinyi was startled and then rushed to the window and climbed through the window, Xiao Xinyi glanced at Elder Yu's face and knew that he had fainted, so he calmed down at the moment, grabbed Elder Yu's wrist to probe the pulse, and after a while, he put it down and said to Madame: "Madam Yu is at ease, Elder Yu is just unconscious, and his body is fine." ”

Mrs. Yu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, and transported the internal force into Elder Yu's body, and Leng Moyan also arrived in the room at this time, looking up and down.

Xiao Xinyi stood up and didn't speak, but felt that his body shook for a while, and he was shocked that he thought he was poisoned, and suddenly felt that his body was sinking involuntarily, and there seemed to be the sound of whirring wind in his ears. I saw that in the room, except for the bottom of the table, the entire floor had sunk down, as if there was an abyss under his feet, and Leng Moyan was standing on the table and looking down.

"Old man."

Xiao Xinyi heard an exclamation from his side, and then realized that he had disappeared from Elder Yu at some point.

"The deputy hall master let go of me, the old man has fallen, and the old man is going to look for him." Mrs. Yu said anxiously.

"Mrs. Yu, there are many authorities here, and you can't act rashly."

Xiao Xinyi suddenly felt a loosening of her hand as she spoke, and Mrs. Yu had broken free from her restraints and fell down without listening to her advice.

Xiao Xinyi pulled the cloud whip hard, and her figure fell with Mrs. Yu, Zhuge Qinghong handed Qingxiao Hall into her hands, she couldn't watch the two elders fall into the trap and ignore it.

Originally, she thought that it would be very deep below, but the figure fell to the ground in a moment, as she and Mrs. Yu landed, a series of fires suddenly lit up in front of them, and through the firelight, they saw that in front of them was a long staircase extending to the ground, and those firelights were inlaid on the left and right sides of the torches, when they landed, they didn't know what mechanism they touched, these torches were lit at the same time to reflect the bright light of this section of the road.

As Leng Moyan fell, there was a clicking sound above their heads, Xiao Xinyi secretly screamed "not good", and threw out the soft whip in his hand to block the stone slab above his head from closing, I don't want to be a step too late, just at the moment when the soft whip was about to touch the slate, the slate slammed tightly, and there was no longer a trace of gaps to be found.

"Elder Yu is down there, for the sake of now, we can only go down and have a look, maybe Zhuge Qinghong is also trapped here." Xiao Xinyi looked at the long staircase in front of him.

"Deputy hall master, I watched the old man fall with my own eyes, there will be no mistake."

Elder Yu's life and death were uncertain after he fell here, and there was a hint of tremor in Madame Yu's voice.

"Mrs. Yu, don't worry, if they have the intention to hurt Elder Yu, they have already done it just now, this move is just to lure us in, then let's go in and see who is playing what tricks."

After speaking, the pretty face was cold and walked forward first, Mrs. Yu and Leng Moyan followed closely behind her, this section of the stairs is neither long nor short, but the more they walk, the more they go down, when they see the end of the stairs, they don't know how far off the ground.

Although they were now deep underground, they were not at all depressed, and when they finished the last stone staircase, they were even more shocked by the sight of eight stout pillars, which held up a palace, an underground palace. Compared with the magnificent palaces they had seen on the ground, they were not inferior, with glazed bamboo tiles, carved beams, painted pillars, five ridges and six beasts, but under the light of the torches, this grandeur was enveloped with a layer of weirdness.

At this time, the palace gates were wide open, and the surroundings were empty. Xiao Xinyi's face turned a little pale when she looked at the incredible scene in front of her, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have imagined that there would be such a big project under Yongcheng, how much manpower and time would it take to build, wouldn't anyone find out when it was built?

But now is not the time to delve into these, she carefully probed the surroundings with internal force, and finally felt a fluctuation of internal force, followed the long whip in her hand and walked a few steps forward, entering the gate of the palace as if returning to the ground, under her feet is a bluestone paving, the top of her head is a carved gallery wood, in the middle of the palace there is a black wood carved seat, and a person is sitting on it.

Xiao Xinyi stared at the people in the seat for a moment, and the people in the seat were also staring at them for a moment. It's just that Xiao Xinyi couldn't see his expression, because he had a mask on his face that covered his entire face.

"I wonder why a few people came to the Humble House?"

Xiao Xinyi only focused on the people on the seat, but suddenly the voice of a middle-aged man came from the side, and the three of them turned their heads to see that there was another person under the seat, but he covered his face with black clothes and black hat in the dark shadow, which made it difficult for people to find.

"I didn't mean to offend, I just came to find a few friends." Xiao Xinyi stabilized his mind and replied.

"This is the friend you're talking about."

As soon as the man in black finished speaking, he walked out of the shadow next to him, and the two of them gently placed Elder Yu beside them, Mrs. Yu grabbed Elder Yu's wrist, and said to Mrs. Yu for a moment: "Elder Yu is fine." Then he clenched his fists and said to the man in black: "Thank you, Your Excellency, I will take the liberty of asking if my other two friends are also in the house." ”

As soon as Xiao Xinyi's voice fell, he only heard the man in black clapping his hands, the abrupt clapping sound was particularly loud in the silent palace, and two more people helped out one person in the clapping, Xiao Xinyi fixed his eyes and saw that it was the virtual hearing senior, and then took a few steps to take the virtual hearing, and only breathed a sigh of relief after carefully checking the pulse, and the same as the elder generally just fainted.

Xiao Xinyi motioned to Leng Moyan to take the void and then hugged his fists and said, "I don't know where the son who came with my friend is now." ”

"Hehe, girl, don't be too aggressive, we don't care about you dressing up and breaking into the cold house at night, but you ask us for people again and again, it's hard to make it possible that all your friends have come to our shadow forest, but I don't know what your purpose is." The man in black replied.

Xiao Xinyi then remembered that everyone in her group dressed up at night, including the false hearing that came before, although they came with a purpose, but this group of people in the shadow forest was not above board.

They were obviously on opposite sides now, and it was not easy for them to talk so calmly, and it was beyond her expectation that the man in black could hand over Xuan Ting and Elder Yu without saying a word.

Xiao Xinyi originally thought that after coming to the Shadow Forest, they would be greeted by a bloody and bloody battle, but unexpectedly, it has developed into a scene now, to be honest, she is also a little confused, the other party can return the false hearing and Elder Yu intact to show that they don't want to be enemies with them, and Xiao Xinyi doesn't want to turn against them before he finds Zhuge Qinghong.
