Chapter 413: Pursuit of Ming Thirteen
According to the footprints on the ground, it can be seen that Ming 13 has indeed been here.
Well, the footprints are clear, apparently just left. No one has been here in this dungeon for at least sixty or seventy years! The only key to open the door of the dungeon is hidden in Tongma Mo, so it is unlikely that anyone will be able to enter.
Yang Shouwen followed the footprints on the ground and stopped on the side of the golden dragon chair.
Ming 13 had a very obvious stop here, because from the messy footprints, a clue could be seen.
Then, she walked down the steps on the side of Dan and disappeared in front of a seven-screen made of gold......
Yang Shouwen circled around the seven screens twice, but did not find any clues.
So, he returned to Dan Majesty and stood by the dragon chair.
Ming 13 came in this time, and the purpose was very clear, it was the contents of those golden silk nanmu boxes.
Although he didn't know what items were in the wooden box, Yang Shouwen believed that it must be very important to Ming Thirteen.
A young girl in the flower season, but she is willing to guard her loneliness and live alone on this desert island.
Any practice is nonsense.
The only reason was because there was something on the island that she had to get, so she had to stick to it alone.
Of course, with the strength of the Ming family, it is not difficult to give Ming Thirteen a comfortable environment.
But the problem is that if the Ming family builds a lot of construction, it will inevitably attract the attention of others, and it will be even more troublesome at that time. If you think about it so carefully, Mingxiu opened a store in Changzhou and fished and hunted in Taihu Lake, I'm afraid it was all for the purpose of turning off the lighting thirteen.
Well, maybe from the beginning......
Yang Shouwen stood next to the dragon chair and observed for a long time. Mai Bu put one foot on the footprints left by Ming Thirteen. She stood cautiously. Then look around left and right. One hand was inadvertently placed on the armrest of the dragon chair and rubbed gently.
Ming 13 got what he wanted, and then stopped here.
She couldn't stay here for no reason, because she had to leave the dungeon as soon as possible. Otherwise, Yang Shouwen was outside, and once he opened the underground palace, it was naturally unlikely that Ming Thirteen would want to evacuate calmly. This girl must be embarrassed...... Otherwise, she wouldn't have had to leave in such a hurry. Not even a goodbye.
But what is she stopping here for?
Yang Shouwen closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
The hand, unconsciously, swept over the cold handrail and landed on the statue of the dragon's head on the armrest.
A cold sensation came from my hands.
Yang Shouwen opened his eyes suddenly, raised his hand and looked at his palm, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face.
Putting his hand on the faucet again, Yang Shouwen gently forced.
Really!
Just now when he looked at his hands. Didn't see much dust. It stands to reason that no one has come in this underground palace for more than sixty years. There should be a lot of dust on the faucet armrest. But no, it means that not long ago, someone touched it.
With the force of Yang Shouwen's hand, the faucet also rotated.
Crunch!
The voice was small, but it was enough to lift Yang Shouwen's spirits.
However, after twisting for a long time, although the dragon head was turning, there was no reaction in the dungeon.
Yang Shouwen remembered the situation when he opened the gate of the underground palace before, so he hurriedly squatted down and carefully checked the dragon head. Reset the faucet first, then turn it three times to the left, then two times to the right, and then press down hard.
Click!
The dragon's head actually retracted, and immediately after that, I heard a rumbling sound from Dan's side.
Yang Shouwen didn't dare to delay any longer, turned his head and rushed down.
The seven screens moved slowly, revealing a hole. Below the entrance of the cave, there was the sound of running water, which seemed to be an underground river. Yang Shouwen thought about it, tightened the wrought copper, and then jumped into the hole with his gun. The hole is not deep, about two meters high. The dark river is chest-deep, but the current is not very turbulent and gentle.
Yang Shouwen stood firm and looked up.
After a while, the hole creaked and closed again.
Obviously, the mechanism of this cave is time-limited, and as long as it exceeds a certain amount of time, the hole will automatically close.
This Qimen Dunjia of the Five Doumi Sect also has a mechanism technique, which is really extraordinary.
At the bottom of the cave, it was pitch black, and I couldn't see my fingers.
Yang Shouwen was very careful, although Ming Thirteen was likely to pass through here just now, there was no guarantee that there were no strange creatures in the dark river. He raised his hand and closed his eyes. There was wind, blowing from behind.
In other words, if you follow the river behind you, you will definitely find an exit.
Yang Shouwen didn't dare to delay in this dark river, so he gently flicked the gun in front of him with one hand, and then swam along the river.
The water is getting deeper.
After swimming for about half an hour, Yang Shouwen found that the water in the dark river was almost above his head.
He rested on a rock for a moment and plunged into the water again. From last night to now, he has only eaten a few pieces of jerky to satisfy his hunger. After another fight, to be honest, by this moment, Yang Shouwen was exhausted.
The water is getting colder and colder, and it also makes Yang Shouwen's physical strength lose faster and faster.
After swimming for more than ten minutes, Yang Shouwen finally saw that there was a little light in front of him.
Outlet!
His heart was overjoyed, and his swimming speed increased.
After about ten more minutes of swimming, a hole finally appeared in front of him.
The entrance to the cave was very small, from the surface of the water to the top, and it was only about 30 centimeters high. Yang Shouwen took a deep breath, plunged into the water, swam forward with his breath, and when he surfaced again, he found himself in a narrow bay. This is a bay located between two mountains, about two or three hundred meters long, and the water of Taihu Lake is outside. The two mountains are craggy, wide below and narrow above. If you look down from the top of the mountain, you can only see a bay of water. And that hole, if you don't look carefully, you can't find a trace at all.
Yang Shouwen swam to the shore with difficulty, walked and climbed, and dragged the big gun to the shore.
This so-called shore is composed of a pile of strangely shaped reefs.
The stones are wet, and there are even quite a few places. Not in the lake yet. It's just that Yang Shouwen can't take care of too much. After going ashore. He lay on the reef, turned over, and lay on his back with his face up. Up and down his body, he had no strength at all, his head was buzzing, and his limbs couldn't exert any strength. He looked at the sky above him and slowly closed his eyes.
The water of the lake gushes along the bay. Push Yang Shouwen's body.
Just when Yang Shouwen felt that he was about to fall asleep, there was a soft sound in his ears, as if there was a stone rolling.
He opened his eyes and was about to sit up, when he saw a cold light pass by, followed by a short sword on his neck.
If it were in normal times, this would simply not be possible.
The corners of Yang Shouwen's mouth outlined a curvature, revealing a bitter smile.
"Ming Lao Si!"
Behind him, a chuckle was heard.
"How do you know it's me?"
"Please, you'll play this trick next time. Throw away your sachet first.
Not many people use this spice. And among the people I know. It seems like you're the only one who is using it. β
"Hehe, it's really an immortal, and I've even noticed this detail."
Mingxiu's voice sounded behind him, but the short sword did not move away.
Not only that, but he also took the tiger swallowing gun from Yang Shouwen's hand, and then said softly: "Zheng Shilang, stand up slowly." β
"Why should I be able to move, and you can still put a sword around my neck?"
"In that case, then I'll help you...... You see, how good I have been to you, and how I have lifted you up. β
"Do I want to thank you?"
"You're welcome."
With Mingxiu's support, Yang Shouwen slowly stood up from the water.
Immediately after, Mingxiu withdrew his short sword, took a step back and said, "Zheng Shilang, let's talk?" β
"What are you talking about?"
Yang Shouwen slowly turned around and looked at Mingxiu.
At this moment, Mingxiu is dressed as a fisherman, but the makeup on his face has disappeared. He returned to the way Yang Shouwen had when he first met him at the Eight Immortals Inn, looking lazy and a little cynical.
"My aunt said, you can't find a secret way.
But I don't believe it, so I'm waiting for you here...... Dignified Levy Lang, Immortal, how can a small mechanism hide from your eyes? β
"Ming Thirteen, is it really your aunt?"
"Of course!"
Mingxiu, carrying a gun in one hand and a short sword in the other, took two steps back again.
He placed his gun against the rock wall, then returned his hand and pulled out a crossbow from behind him.
"Okay, this distance is the safest, we can talk about it."
Yang Shouwen leaned against a reef and sat down slowly.
"Don't be so nervous, look at me now, can I still threaten you?"
"Hehe, that's not good...... The heart of defense is indispensable. β
Yang Shouwen didn't speak again, but looked at Mingxiu quietly.
After a while, he raised his hand with difficulty and clapped his hands gently, "Ming Laosi, I have to admire your Ming family now, playing with everyone in the palm of your hand...... Hehe, poor Annan people, I'm afraid I won't understand what is going on until I die. β
When Mingxiu heard this, her face changed slightly.
"Recruiter, what do you mean by that?"
"Hehe, you know ...... in your heart" Yang Shouwen leaned on the reef and said softly: "Actually, from the beginning when we visited Puhui Temple at night, I was calculated by you, right?" β
"What do you mean?"
"You still pretend to me, by this time, what else will you pretend?"
Mingxiu stared at Yang Shouwen and was silent for a long time.
After a while, a smile appeared on his face, and he pointed at Yang Shouwen and said, "Aunt said, I definitely can't hide it from you, I don't believe it yet." β
Yang Shouwen sneered, leaned against the reef and said weakly: "It's also that I'm stupid, and I didn't understand the mystery until just now." I have always felt that behind these Annan people, there is a more powerful force. Otherwise, how could that group of barbarians alone do such a big thing, and no one noticed?
Someone is supporting him, covering him......
It's just that I thought at first that it should be the Su family who supported the people of Annam, after all, the Su family is the head snake of Suzhou.
But I later felt that the Su family may be a prominent family in Suzhou, but it is far from enough to support such a big action. These people can travel rampant in the north and south, and enter and exit the divine capital more calmly. They made such a big movement that no one noticed? Also, Xiao Luantai's secret rudder has always been secretive, but when he escaped fearlessly, he accurately picked two Xiao Luantai's secret rudder...... Hehe, if you don't know much about Xiaoluantai, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it. β
Mingxiu put away the short sword, rubbed his nose, and sat down on the side.
He didn't make a sound, just looked at Yang Shouwen, and after a long time, he let out a sigh of relief.
Yang Shouwen said: "Just now, especially when Ming Thirteen...... By the way, is her really Ming Thirteen? The girl's family, it's really ugly to call such a name. The name Linxizi sounds good, but it's a pity that it's a road number. β
"Mingxi."
"Huh?"
"My aunt's name is Mingxi, and Linxizi is the number given to her by her master."
"That's it, the name Mingxi is in line with her cold temperament."
Yang Shouwen smiled, and that smile looked extraordinarily innocent.
He pointed at Ming Xiu and said, "Ming Laosi, if I guess correctly, what Annan people, what Su Wei, everything is under the control of your Ming family." Let me think about it, my master was born in Taoism...... I don't know if there is any connection with the Five Dou Mi Sect. You have long known that there is such an underground palace, but unfortunately there is no chance to explore it.
Even if my master followed the saint, he would not be able to find out the truth. β
"My uncle followed the saint with sincerity.
My Ming family once had ancestral training, the chicken was in the morning, and the sun and the moon were in the sky. The sun and the moon are bright, and the sky is prosperous...... In other words, only by following the saints can my Ming family prosper...... Later, the uncle discovered the existence of Youxian Palace in a classic. Since then, my Ming family has been looking for a way to open the Immortal Palace. β
Mingxiu's expression was calm, and he even looked a little tired.
Yang Shouwen was stunned for a moment, and said softly: "So, you found the Annan people?" β
Mingxiu, smiled!
"Actually, it's not that we found the Annanites, it's the Annanites who found us.
But we don't know each other's background, they don't know our background, and we don't know who is behind them. Anyway, they want to get the gold, and we want to get some of the items in Asgard. It's just a matter of cooperation...... But those guys are so stupid! Ten years, a whole ten years let them operate, but in the end, they still didn't find the key to the mechanism, and even because of this, it attracted the attention of the saint. β
"So, you let them kill Su Wei and pull me in to force them to speed up, right?"
"Well, sort of."
Mingxiu nodded and said, "It's just that I didn't expect that they would later find a Japanese to cooperate, which also prompted me to make up my mind and lure you to the island."
Aoyuki, I like you, you're a smart person.
From the first time I met you, I knew you wouldn't let me down.
So, in return, I won't make it difficult for you either...... Those Annam people are now in Yulong Bay on Zeshan Island. I'm sure you'll be able to find that place easily, and that's a credit I've given you, do you think that's okay? β
Yang Shouwen couldn't help but squint his eyes and stared at Mingxiu.
For this handsome young man, Yang Shouwen really didn't feel too much anger, and even had some appreciation.
Playing with him in the palm of his hand is indeed very powerful.
Therefore, Yang Shouwen didn't think about embarrassing Mingxiu, let alone stabbing this matter.
After all, the relationship between the Ming family and the Yang family is also very close. My father is a disciple of Ming Chongyan, if I really report this matter to the court truthfully, I am afraid that according to Wu Zetian's temperament, in the end, my father and him will also be very uncomfortable.
However, there was still a question in his heart that had not been solved, so after a moment of silence, he said softly: "I really want to know, with the care of the saint for the Ming family, why do you set up such a bureau?" What's in it for you? β
