Chapter 137: The Secret Passage of the Ji Mansion
Shizi nodded at King Duan and walked in first. After a while, he returned to the entrance of the cave, and Haitang and Duanwang walked in with him. When closing the door of the cave, King Duan saw that the willow tree was actually growing in a huge iron bucket, and when he pressed down the trunk, the iron bucket was lifted, and the door could be opened by touching the mechanism of the stone door.
Duan Wang pushed the mechanism that held the iron bucket open, the barrel slowly fell to the ground, and the door closed again. Duanwang lit a fire, the faint light of the fire made the cave light up, the prince saw a pile of torches at the foot of the stone wall at a glance, went over to pick up two and lit them, and the cave suddenly lit up.
Only then did King Duan hold Begonia in his arms, kiss her forehead and said, "No wonder I've been restless, thinking about coming to Jifu to find Xie Yuanyu, it turns out that you are also locked up here!" We were waiting for darkness in the trees outside the Ji Mansion, and when we heard the noise in the Ji Mansion, we didn't know if Xie Yuanyu was really locked inside, and when I came in, I saw you standing on the porch. ”
"I was knocked unconscious and brought here, and I didn't know anything, so I was locked up with the son." Haitang asked again: "How is Cheng Mansion now?" Is my brother back? ”
King Duan shook his head and said, "Your brother hasn't returned yet." The chaos at the door was probably caused by kidnapping you, so I didn't really break into it later. Dark Seven found out that you were gone, so he went to inform me. And the evidence we found at the racecourse pointed to Aoki Cliff, so I decided to go in and investigate. ”
"Evidence?" Shizi was a little interested.
"In the water of the medicinal bath, a kind of soft tendon was added to disperse the unique Tang Sect, and Tang Yu felt that it should be done by Tang Qi, who defected to Ji Chuan. I just don't understand, what is the purpose of Ji Chuan's kidnapping of you......"
King Duan still wanted to discuss, but Shizi interrupted him: "While walking, I don't know where this tunnel leads, and there seems to be a long way inside." So saying, he took the torch and went to the front. Duanwang also led Begonia to follow behind, and the three of them groped their way forward.
After coming in from the rockery, only a few steps wide began to go down the stairs, and Begonia counted it in his heart, a total of eighteen steps. The stairs are not too narrow to go down to the secret passage, and three people can walk side by side, and a tall person like Xie Ruijiao will not feel too depressed. But the secret passage is really long, and a fear of an uncertain future hangs over their hearts, and everyone has no intention of talking, and is engrossed in moving forward.
Unexpectedly, on both sides of the secret passage, one or two iron fences began to appear sporadically, the fences were flat to the walls of the secret passage, and the dungeons were recessed inward. Could it be that this is the dungeon of Himefu?
Nowadays, it is an open secret that the princes and uncles have private dungeons and basements in their mansions, and even the dungeon styles are similar, this one has never been seen.
They passed through the first three rooms, which were staggered to the left and right, and in front of the fourth room was a recessed room without doors or fences, and there was no sound, but there was a faint fire. Shizi stopped, and King Duan handed the torch to Begonia's hand. Pull up the veil around your neck, lift your sword, and touch the wall towards the firelight.
Duanwang's night clothes are indeed much more hidden than the white middle clothes of the prince. I saw him take a leap, and the tip of his sword had reached the neck of a cell head, who was sitting on one leg and drinking a little wine with fried broad beans at the table, and suddenly the assassin came, and his soul flew with fright.
Duan Wang glanced at the table, and secretly screamed that it was not good, there was a pair of dishes and chopsticks opposite the cell head, and there was obviously another cell head. He struck his elbow on the back of the cell leader's neck, only to hear two "knock" and "knock" sounds, and both cell heads fell to the ground at the same time. It turned out that Xiao Xie came back from behind the other cell leader, and as soon as he came out and saw King Duan, the featherless arrows and pebbles of the prince over there came out.
The two tied up the two cell heads, and when they walked out, they saw Begonia staring at the fourth cell. There was someone inside, a very strangely dressed person.
"Who are you? Why are you locked inside? King Duan asked, holding the torch and shining it inside, only to see the man sitting cross-legged on the straw mat, his eyes closed and ignoring them. Haitang saw that his two hands hanging on his thighs each had a different handprint. This way of making mudras is very special, and once you see it once, you will never forget it.
"I know who you are, you are the king of the dead!" Begonia said affirmatively. The master has a friend who is one of the protectors of the Dharma, and although he is the protector of the Dharma, he does not return to the village all day long, and likes to travel around the world outside. He lived in Yueling for a few days, and it was he who explained to Haitang the similarities and differences between poison and Miao poison, which was much more detailed than what was said in the "Poison Sutra".
Nowadays, the prisoners in prison are embroidered with patterns on their chests, which are similar to the patterns on the clothes of the Dharma protectors, and the difference lies in the palindrome in the middle of the cross pattern!
I saw that the man slowly opened his eyes, nodded and said, "I heard that your girl has a southern accent, could it be that you used to live in Lingnan?" It's kind of insightful. Tell me, you are a Han female doll, how do you know that I am the king? ”
"I know a Remding Clansman."
"Remding?" The king laughed: "The Han people laughed at him for being illiterate, and chose this name for him, but I didn't think he would accept it gladly?" He's a loose man, and he even made friends with a girl like you. It is the name given to us by the Han people of your Celestial Dynasty, saying that we are people who are forced laborers. We are after Jiuli Sanmiao, and we are especially people.
I have a clansman named Jiu Lu, who is this traitor who tricked me here, and Ji Chuan locked me in a dungeon, just to use me to blackmail my clansmen and make them accomplices of the Ji clan. There are more people who can use snake Gu, but there is not only one of them! ”
With a short knife, the lock that locked the door was cut in half. Shizi secretly praised: Good knife! I don't know if Ji Chuan's neck is hard, or this iron lock is hard?
King Duan pushed the door in and said, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." You can't stay here for a long time, you go out with us first, and if you have something to say, go out and talk slowly. He had discovered that the reason why the king did not move was because his hands and feet were chained. The prince passed, waved the knife a few times, and the chain fell to the ground.
The prince went to help the king up, but he did not resist, and followed the prince to the outside of the cell. When he reached the door of the cell, King Duan looked him up and down, pulled a decorated jade from his hat, threw it in the direction they had come from, and tore a piece of cloth from the corner of his coat and hung it on the side of the door.
The king knew that he was telling Ji Chuan that it was possible that someone came in to save him.
Strange to say, this dungeon is locked up with this one person, and there are only those two cell bosses guarding it. Where is the need to dig such a long passage? However, it seems that when you get to these dungeons, the road ahead comes to an end. King Duan looked at it and said, "This tunnel is definitely not built for these dungeons. Without looking back, let's go forward and see if there is a way? After speaking, he led Begonia to the front.
After walking about 20 steps, you will face the wall, but if you insist on walking to the wall, you will see an inconspicuous turnstile door on the left, and there is no mechanism, but it is disguised as a wall. Duanwang pushed, the door turned in, and several people got in. As we walked, gradually, the light on the torches began to shake.
It's windy!
