Chapter 396: Confusing Truth with Falsehood (2)
Xianren Palace is very quiet, although the palace door is closed, it can't stop me and Lu Yanqing.
Lu Yanqing didn't know why I came here, but I knew it myself.
Cao Fu and Ding Yu'er, who had returned to the drunken Hongchu with me, were nowhere to be found, and they inquired in the city, but I didn't hear about them at all.
Ding Yu'er once said that the secret passage of the drunken Hongjian leads to Shanglin Yuan, if they did escape through the secret passage of the teahouse that day, then it is very likely that they will eventually come to the palace, Li Xuanba already knew the existence of this secret passage, but they did not know that Li Xuanba was the real mastermind of this Luoyang covenant.
They have been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, even if Li Xuanba wants to plot against them, it is very likely that he will miss, he will not take such a risk, but if he wants to gag them, he can also change the way.
I told Lu Yanqing this on the way here, and began to search for their whereabouts. But I searched the Xianren Palace, but I didn't find any trace of them, did I guess wrong?
Lu Yanqing and I met in Shanglin Yuan, the sky was already light, he looked at the east and reminded me to withdraw.
I thought about it, but I returned after a busy night, and I walked out of Shanglin Yuan absent-mindedly and came to the meditation room where Yan Cong Zen translated Buddhist scriptures, which was the place where Li Xuanba followed Yan Cong to practice Buddhism, and I heard that he still lived here for a long time after becoming the emperor, and now I think about it is really ironic.
Seeing that I was stopping, Lu Yanqing pulled me and reminded me to hurry up.
I looked at the slightly dilapidated meditation room, but I didn't move, and my heart was full of emotion.
When Lu Yanqing saw my appearance, he glanced at the meditation room with some disdain, suddenly covered his mouth, and said softly: "This place is so dilapidated, I can't imagine that there are still people?" ”
I was stunned for a moment, and when I looked into the room, I saw someone reclining on the couch, and I could only catch a glimpse of a pair of feet.
There should be no one in this place.
I walked slowly towards the meditation room, Lu Yanqing had always been curious, so he naturally followed, and after walking two steps, he suddenly grabbed me and said, "Beware of fraud!" ”
There was a slight light all around, but no one came.
I pointed around and said, "You see it's overgrown here, obviously no one has been here for a long time, don't worry." ”
As he spoke, he had already walked to the window, but there was not only one person lying inside, but two people. Although I can't see the appearance clearly, but as I thought in my heart, they are dressed in gorgeous clothes, but I will never admit that these two people are none other than Cao Fu and Ding Yu'er, Ding Yu'er is lying on Cao Fu's chest.
Seeing this, I ignored Lu Yanqing's reminder, walked straight to the door, and with a slight push, the door opened. In my heart, Li Xuanba is also a thoughtful person, so unguarded, could they have ......
Lu Yanqing rushed to the couch one step ahead of me, stretched out his hand to probe, took a deep breath, turned back to me and said, "Don't worry, they are still alive!" ”
I was relieved a lot, walked closer, and said to Lu Yanqing: "Are you afraid of death?" ”
Lu Yanqing didn't know why, and asked, "I'm afraid, I'm scared to death!" ”
I said, "Then you can go." ”
Lu Yanqing snorted lightly and said, "What if you are afraid of death?" It's not the same to die, isn't it possible not to die if you are not afraid of death? Say, what do you want to do? ”
I smiled and pointed at them, "Get them out!" ”
Lu Yanqing said: "This deep palace compound, with the light skills of the two of us, can come and go freely, and it is not a problem, but ...... Carrying two more half-dead people, it's hard to say. ”
I said, "If you don't want to help, that's fine. ”
Lu Yanqing said: "If it's the hatred you said before...... Qiu Budu and Tang Lin are here, will they help you? ”
I smiled wryly, thinking to myself that if they were here, I wouldn't have to say these words at all.
Seeing that I didn't answer, Lu Yanqing already knew in his heart, helped Ding Yu'er and said, "Sacrifice your life to accompany the gentleman...... No, you're not a gentleman, but since I'm here, I can't help but accompany you, let's go! ”
I smiled helplessly, picked up Cao Fu, and began to observe the terrain here.
Lu Yanqing asked, "How to go?" ”
I helped Cao Fu out of the meditation room, thought for a moment, remembered the place that Ding Yu'er had pointed out to me, and walked north for a while along the route in my memory, and then turned east.
Lu Yanqing followed behind me and asked, "The more you go, the more remote you become, you won't lead the wrong way, right?" ”
I ignored him, stopped at the southwest corner of Shanglin Yuan, and said, "This is it." As he spoke, he put down Cao Fu, groped on the ground for a while, lifted the dust around him, and sure enough, he saw a flipper.
Lu Yanqing walked around me to the corner of the wall, turned around and stared at the wall for a moment, and pointed to one place: "Hey, this brick is different from the side." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and buckled it, and the flap opened in response, revealing a section of stairs.
I picked up Cao Fu and walked down, Lu Yanqing grabbed me again and said, "Do you know where this place leads?" ”
I didn't answer, I just went down, Lu Yanqing had no choice but to follow me.
After walking down for a while, Lu Yanqing said, "You wait for me for a while." As he spoke, he put Ding Yu'er beside me, but he returned to the ground.
I don't know what he was tossing on it, I just know that there is a faint light shining down the hole into the ground, and the sky is getting brighter, although this place is desolate, but if it is detected, not only can it not save Cao Fu and Ding Yu'er, but Lu Yanqing and I will also be buried here.
After waiting for a while, I was already a little impatient, and I heard a "pop" sound in my ears again, Lu Yanqing flew down, and the entrance to the cave was also closed with this sound.
He clapped his hands and smiled, "No one should be able to find out now." It turned out that he was afraid that this place would be discovered, so he disguised the entrance of the cave with the intention of restoring its original appearance.
I shook my head helplessly and said, "It doesn't matter how you disguise yourself, the reason why they are the way they are is because someone already knows about this secret passage, and it is futile to restore it to its original state." ”
Lu Yanqing shouted out when he heard the words, and hurriedly said: "Then if we go through this secret passage, won't we be sent to death?" Where is the end of the secret passage? ”
I said, "Drunken Hong gradually teahouse." ”
When Lu Yanqing heard this, he rushed forward and grabbed me and said, "In the drunken Hongjian teahouse, it is full of ...... Your opponents, I have nothing to do with them, they may let me go, but you are simply ......"
I smiled, pointed at Cao Fu and Ding Yu'er and said, "No, there are people in the Drunken Hongjian Teahouse to pick us up." ”
Lu Yanqing shook his head and said, "Who else can there be besides you and your wife?" But your lady is not very skilled, and the drunken teahouse masters are gathered, what can she do? ”
I shook my head again, ignored it anymore, and said: "I've come this far, there's no turning back, whether you go or stay, whatever you want, I must take them out of here." ”
