Text Chapter 49: Another Exit

The serial drug scheme has been discovered

Find another exit from the sky

"You...... You ......," Zhang Chengyong said stupidly, looking at me.

"You! When can you stop being so impulsive? I looked at Zhang Chengyong and said. After saying that, I handed him a kettle full of water and said leisurely, "Hurry up and drink it!" When you're back on your feet, we'll be on our way. ”

I deliberately understated it, because I knew that this kid's self-esteem was too strong.

"On the road? Where to? Zhang Chengyong drank most of the kettle in one go, and then asked with a sigh of relief.

"Of course it's to find Xiaomei!" I looked at him and said.

"Do you know where Xiaomei is?" Zhang Chengyong asked with wide eyes.

"Hmm!" I nodded.

"Where is she?" Zhang Chengyong asked anxiously.

"She's gone to the Lake of Inquiry on the ninth floor." Ice said coldly.

"Ask the Heartlake?" Zhang Chengyong asked curiously: "You mean where did Xiaomei go to the top of the lake?" How did she go where? Who did she go with? Could it be with Tienin? Damn it! I knew that kid's idea to beat Xiaomei! ”

"Tinin didn't go with her! She went on her own! Ice said coldly.

"What? She went on her own? Don't lie to me! Tinning? Zhang Chengyong asked.

"Tianning is dead!" I looked at Zhang Chengyong and said.

"Dead? How did Tinin die? What the hell is all this going on? Tianyi, what happened just now? Zhang Chengyong asked anxiously.

"Well, here's the thing!" I sighed and said, "Just after you rushed out to chase that person, Xiaomei walked in from the outside holding Ice hostage. She asked me to use the technique of gossip and five elements to find the escape route left by Wang Yuan back then......"

"Wait! The more you talk about me, the more confused I become, why would Xiaomei hold ICE hostage? How could she know that Wang Yuan left an escape route here back then? Zhang Chengyong suddenly interrupted me and said.

"Listen to me slowly, okay?" I looked at Zhang Chengyong and said.

"Alright! Hurry up if you want to fucking talk about it, do you want to kill me in a hurry? Zhang Chengyong said impatiently.

"Hmm!" I nodded helplessly, to be honest, I really don't have anything to say about this kid's quick temper. "Xiaomei was possessed by a witchcraft-like magic when she was under the wall of sighs, and she lost herself and became another person at one point, although I don't know why she regained her sense of self during the time she was with us before, but just now she fell into another personality. Yes, another personality, that's more accurate. ”

"And where?" Zhang Chengyong asked.

"Then she used ICE as a hostage to force me to find the secret passage, and I had to do it at that time." I said.

"And you've found that way, right?" Zhang Chengyong asked.

"Yes! I found that way. I nodded.

"Since she knows the way, and since she doesn't want us to enter this ruined temple, then the two people and the two children at the door before are also placed there by her, right?" Zhang Chengyong asked tentatively.

"She didn't put it there!" I said, shaking my head.

"Hmm!" Hearing me say that it wasn't Xiaomei who wanted our lives, Zhang Chengyong let out a long breath, "Then who wants our lives?" ”

"It's Tianning!" At this time, Ice said suddenly. "He's in the same league as Xiaomei! Although he did not lose himself, it was clear that he had also fallen for that kind of witchcraft. Prior to this, when we left the broken temple for the first time to find Tianyi, he and Xiaomei were the last to leave, in order to avoid suspicion, Xiaomei did not do such a thing herself, she bewitched Tianning as her puppet, and laid traps at the door of the broken temple and in the ancestral hall to induce us to take the bait. ”

"But what is she doing this for?" Zhang Chengyong asked.

"Her purpose, naturally, is not to want all of us to leave here alive." Ice said coldly. "And when all of us die, she can get the key she wants from Tianyi."

"Keys? Tianyi, what is the key? Don't you know? Zhang Chengyong asked.

"The key she said was this!" As I spoke, I took out a black box from my body, gently flicked the lock on it, and heard a "click" sound, the black box opened in response, and then I took out a jade key that was as green as autumn water.

"It's ...... What's this key? Zhang Chengyong asked with a glare.

"This is the key to unlocking the stupa!" I said.

"Relic stupa? So what? Zhang Chengyong asked.

"Legend has it that there are 12 relics in this world, which are the 12 monks who sat down after their deaths in ancient times, and these 12 monks have been guarding three of the 24 secret scrolls during their lifetimes, and only by finding these 12 relics and placing them in the relics pagoda, can the whereabouts of the three secret scrolls be found at a special moment." Ice said coldly: "We actually came this time to find the four relics, but I didn't expect that the key to open the relics pagoda is actually here." ”

"! It's related to the twenty-four secret scrolls! Zhang Chengyong scolded.

"What? Do you know these twenty-four secret scrolls? Ice asked, looking at me.

"Ahem...... We've heard it before! I coughed lightly, glared at Zhang Chengyong, and then changed the topic and said, "Lao Zhang, are you better?" ”

"I'm fine! I was almost fucking thirsty just now! Zhang Chengyong knew that he had lost his words, and immediately changed the topic and said: "But, how did Tianning die?" ”

"Poisoned to death!" I said lightly.

"Poisoned? What kind of poison did you get into? Zhang Chengyong said in surprise.

After stabbing ICE, Mei escaped into the secret passage and sealed the entrance. Ice and I had no choice but to come to you first, in the long run, but on the way here, we found Tianning's body first. However, it seems that Xiao Mei should have been poisoned when he was bewitched by him, although I don't know much about witchcraft, but it should be the most poisonous seven-step gut-breaking Gu! Previously, he was in too much of a hurry to lure you away, and it was estimated that Gu poison attacked his heart at that time, so he died of poison not long after getting rid of you. I said.

"! You deserve it, you kid has bad intentions! Zhang Chengyong scolded. So what do we do now? Is there any way to that fountain of inquiry? ”

"Yes, or maybe not!" I said lightly.

…… ……

The wind came in and out through the dark stone gate, and blew on the three of us.

Although at this time, it still has a heavy musty smell, but it smells pleasant at this moment, because this smell represents hope, just like the hope that Athena put in Pandora's box back then, it represents survival and the future.

The stone gate was found by me on the south wall of the ruined temple.

Although, the entrance to the secret passage on the east wall pointed by the Yuan Shi Tianzun was sealed by Xiaomei from the inside. However, I have always felt that the south wall that Yuan Shi Tianzun's eyes are looking at is a little strange.

Sure enough, there really is a secret door here.

Behind the secret door is a straight up step, very narrow and steep, only more than one person wide and at an angle of 60 degrees, Zhang Chengyong and I can barely pass through with our chests in our mouths.

The staircase turned once every one hundred and twenty-seven steps, just as we had come down three times, but after three turns, the three of us came into a room.

And here, it seems, is already the end of this passage.

"What? Out of the way? Zhang Chengyong asked in surprise as he swept around the room with a flashlight.

I didn't pay attention to Zhang Chengyong's words, but looked around the room with a flashlight.

It's a strange house, and the first thing I get is that it's like an old drugstore. In the position of the north wall, there is a large cabinet standing on the sky, which is covered with small drawers, and many strange numbers are written on the drawers, some are written one hundred and seventy-four, some are written two hundred and eighty-five, some are written nine three six, and some are written three hundred and nine-six.

And in front of this cabinet there was a futon, on which leaned a man, an old man.

This old man was naturally a dead man, with dark and shriveled skin, and although he had not completely turned into a dry skeleton, he had already turned into a dry corpse because of the wind.

He was dressed in a gray robe, with no legs below his knees, apparently cut off by life, and he held a dark gray incense burner in his left hand and a bundle of thick and heavy bamboo slips in his right hand.

"Who is this man?" Zhang Chengyong asked curiously.

"I don't know!" I replied.

"He may be Wang Yuan!" Ice on the side said suddenly.

"He's the king? Didn't he escape? Listening to what you just said, didn't this old boy leave a way for himself to escape? Zhang Chengyong asked.

"He didn't run away." After picking up the bamboo slip in Wang Yuan's hand and looking at it for a while, Ice said slowly: "This bamboo slip records all the things in the last period of his life. It seems that he should know that he is running out of time, so he wrote down these things, hoping to help someone who is destined to meet him! ”

"Hey, hey! Don't say it, this old boy is cheaper for us! Zhang Chengyong smiled and snatched the bamboo slip in ice's hand and looked at it for a while, then returned it to ice and frowned and said, "What the hell is this writing?" It's the same as the ghost drawing talisman, I said Sister Bing, what did he say? ”

According to the records on this bamboo slip, Wang Yuan was imprisoned here for nearly 30 years. In the past 30 years, Wang Yuan not only built this seemingly impregnable tomb for Yuke, but he also dug a way out for himself behind the scenes. Ice said.

"Where's this exit?" Zhang Chengyong asked.

"According to Wang Yuan, this exit is just below the Yuk coffin." Ice said.

"What? Underneath Yuk's coffin? Didn't you say that the guy's coffin was in the middle of the lake of inquiry? So, that outlet is in the lake? Zhang Chengyong asked.

"Yes! Right in the heart of the lake! Ice said.

"Oh my God! We didn't have any diving equipment, so we have something to do! By the way, this old boy didn't say anything about Xiaomei's witchcraft and how to get rid of it? Zhang Chengyong asked.

He didn't say anything! However......" Ice said lightly as she flipped through the bamboo slips, "but he said something related to the Gu poison on Xiaomei's body." ”

"What's the matter?" Zhang Chengyong asked.
