Chapter 106: Ancient Tomb in Distress (3)
Wang Lang suddenly came back to his senses, took a step back, and said in a deep voice: "Returning to the prince, it has arrived, it was about an hour or two ago, and I am waiting for you in the ear room on the side." ”
After speaking, he didn't dare to stay any longer, so he made an excuse and left, treating He Xi as a flood beast, He Xi didn't know it, poked his head out from behind Tuoba Yue and said, "Since Mr. Gao is already here, let's go over." ”
Tuoba Yue only felt bored for a while, didn't say much, hummed lightly, and took He Xi to the ear room that Wang Lang said before, this place has obviously been remodeled, and the layout of the organs is very different from before, thinking that even if someone lurks here, what he sees is just a simple ancient tomb, and the rest can't be found at all.
When He Xi slowly relaxed in her heart, her steps were a lot brisker, when she passed the door of the ear room, He Xi only felt that someone behind her seemed to be staring at her, the feeling of being on her back made He Xi very uncomfortable, she turned around suddenly, but saw that there were only those soldiers who were training behind her, and occasionally a few who were not careful, and they were also called aside by Wang Lang to reprimand.
Where is there any suspicious person, He Xi frowned, and even the forehead on his head was followed by a trace of wrinkles, Tuoba Yue opened the stone door of the ear room, and saw that He Xi did not follow, and asked suspiciously, "Did something happen?" ”
"Nope." He Xi can't say that feeling, such a feeling seems a little weird in a tomb, thinking of this, He Xi laughed self-deprecatingly, when did he start believing in these things, if there are really ghosts and gods in the world, why did Daddy and his brother never come back to see themselves?
As Tuoba Yue stepped into the inner room, he saw Gao Yuan and Ruian sitting at the stone table, Gao Yuan was holding a glass of water in his hand, tasting it carefully, and when he saw He Xi coming in in a simple man's clothes, his fingers trembled invisibly, rippling layer upon layer, and then returned to calm.
He smiled lightly and put down the cup in his hand, gently arched his hand to He Xi, and said with a smile: "It's hard to invite Miss He Xi to come late at night."
He Xi felt a faint sadness in her heart, she sniffed, stepped forward and said, "Mr. Yu He Xi is gracious, and now he is going to travel far away, He Xi naturally wants to come and say goodbye to Mr." ”
I felt that saying such things would inevitably give birth to a little hurt, and then I thought about it: "What's more, Mr. also remembers my old illness, how can I not come?" ”
Tuoba Yue just sat on the side, waved his hand and said, "Since this is the case, Mr. will diagnose it." ”
He Xi half-knelt opposite Gao Yuan, put his bare hands on the cold stone table, quietly lowered his eyes, for a while, Gao Yuan returned his wrist with his hand, and said softly: "Miss He Xi's leg disease has improved a lot, but you still have to pay attention to keeping warm, don't get hurt again, if there is something important, if I - if I can't come back, I will go to find Lu Chuan, the entire calendar, I'm afraid that only he dares to give you an acupuncture, can you remember?" ”
Gao Yuan has never been a person who talks much, and at this time he is nagging, he is indeed like an old man, He Xi nodded, and suddenly she asked: "This trip, but is it dangerous?" ”
Gao Yuan and Tuoba Yue glanced at each other, and said with a smile: "It's just a simple trip, how can it be dangerous, it's just that there are a few medicinal herbs that are very difficult to find, and it will take some time to come." ”
Tuoba Yue didn't speak, although he saw the suspicion in He Xi's eyes, but after all, this was a lofty matter, he didn't want to say it, and he had no reason to say anything for him.
Ryan sat aside with a worried face, he was Gao Yuan's apprentice, so he naturally wanted to follow Gao Yuan back to Miao Domain, but in his heart, those people in Miao Domain were not easy to mess with, for so many years, how many people came to their master and apprentice for trouble, when he thought of this, he was full of rejection.
"Lord Wang, the carriage and horses are ready." A man's voice came in from outside the stone gate, listening to the voice should be Wang Lang's, Gao Yuan took Ruian to get up, picked up the package in his hand and carried it on his back, and said with some regret: "I didn't expect that I came to the capital for more than a month, and I only saw Miss He Xi twice, and I don't know when I will see you next time, and I want to come to the future." ”
Tuoba Yue grabbed Gao Yuan's shoulder, his fingers were slightly forced, Gao Yuan knew what he meant, nodded slightly, signaling him to rest assured.
walked to the stone gate, turned to the two people who were about to come out, and said, "Listen to the sound outside, I'm afraid it's going to rain, so the prince and the young lady will stop there." Treasure. ”
After saying that, he turned around, and his long silver hair crossed a graceful arc in the air, and the figure gradually moved away, leaving only He Xi and Tuoba Yue standing in place.
Looking at Gao Yuan's back, He Xi asked softly, "Gao Yuan's trip is very dangerous, isn't it?" ”
Tuoba Yue was silent, and the silence behind her seemed to confirm the conjecture in He Xi's heart, and she remembered what Lu Chuan said that day in the Lufu Hot Spring Annex.
Although Gao Yuan didn't admit it, He Xi always felt that Lu Chuan should be right, as for Gao Yuan's going, what was the reason. Maybe if he didn't check, Tuoba Yue wouldn't tell himself.
She stretched out her hand to hug her shoulder, only to feel that there was a heavy thing in her sleeve, it was a dagger, He Xi raised her feet and walked outside, but at this time, where could she still see Gao Yuan's figure, she didn't have time to speak, she could only rely on her memory, and ran towards the side of the road, but no one noticed that someone quietly followed.
Tuoba Yue saw He Xi running out, and he chased after him quickly, but he didn't want to just leave the door of the ear room, when a man in a navy blue linen shirt came over, and said with a solemn face: "Lord Wang, our people encountered an ambush on the way here, and most of them were lost. ”
Tuoba Yue was stunned, but after a moment's effort, he could only see He Xi's petite figure flashing at the entrance of the road, and then disappeared. Tuoba Yue flashed a hint of urgency, and just ordered: "First go and verify how many people have been damaged, and who did it." ”
Just finished speaking. The man has already drifted away. He Xi kept walking towards the front according to the path in her memory, calling Gao Yuan's name, she forgot to give him something, but this narrow corridor couldn't see far at all, and the voice was just a muffled echo in it.
When she turned a corner, He Xi once again saw a thin figure flashing from the front, and that feeling swept up again, and suddenly she felt that her feet were empty, and the road that was originally paved with bluestone suddenly disappeared, she didn't ask, and fell down, she exclaimed, and as soon as her wrist tightened, she felt that someone fell with her.
He Xi raised her head laboriously, and in the dim firelight, she saw a red dress fluttering down, as poignant as a butterfly, and she heard an anxious shout: "Lord Wang! ”
At the same time, she also heard the sound of the machine closing, the last ray of light above her head disappeared, she was still falling, Tuoba Yue's long arms stretched, and he Xi held He Xi in his arms tightly, He Xi also knew the danger of the two, and did not move, just the whistling wind in her ears, and her mind kept recalling the structure of this ancient tomb.
It stands to reason that the place where they met Gao Yuan was already the lowest level of the ancient mausoleum, and the top was the burial mausoleum, but what was under this organ?
Feeling that He Xi didn't speak, Tuoba Yue only thought she was scared, and couldn't help but comfort her softly: "Don't be afraid, with me, I won't let you have anything." ”
The voice was magnetic and reassuring, and He Xi shrank into Tuoba Yue's arms and nodded.
The eyes adjusted to the darkness, only to find that there was no light at all, like a cave, on both sides of the stone wall, the stone wall was entwined with dense green vines, the speed of the two fell faster and faster, if they could not find anything to borrow, presumably the two did not have to wait for others to save themselves, they would be thrown to death.
Tuoba Yue lowered his head and saw He Xi hanging on his chest like a cat, he couldn't help but be a little funny, and he said softly, "Hold on." ”
As soon as the words fell, the whole body twisted, and the volley swept towards the stone wall on the side, he sent away a hand holding He Xi, to reach the thing that was clinging to the stone wall, but he didn't want to, as soon as his fingertips touched, the thing seemed to be alive, and moved.
Rao is Tuoba Yue was also shocked in his heart, he couldn't help but catch a void, he lifted his breath, and grabbed the ghost thing again, this time the shot was as fast as lightning, startling a piece of vines, but there were a few dodges that were not in a hurry, and were caught in Tuoba Yue's hands, the slippery and sticky touch made Tuoba Yue think that he was catching a snake, but when he looked at it, it was really a vine.
Fang Cai can still twist and dodge the vines, but at this time, it seems that he has lost his life, and obediently let Tuoba Yue hold it in his hands, and the two of them are still falling, but because of the strength of the vines, they have slowed down a lot, looking at the ground below, thinking that it will not take long to reach the ground.
But I didn't want to be when the two of them were all breathing, He Xi felt that her waist was tight, and she was pulled by a strange force, soaring into the air, she was not bad for a while, but she was pulled by that force and took off her hand, she exclaimed: "Tuoba Yue!" ”
Tuoba Yue was pulling the ghost vine with one hand at this time, and wanted to hug He Xi with the other hand, but the speed of the ghost vine was extremely fast, and in a moment's effort, it had already pulled He Xi down in the air, and the vine was constantly winding and twisting in front of the two, like a green snake attached to the rock wall, He Xi endured the nausea in his heart and wanted to break free, but it was getting tighter and tighter.
"This thing is alive, if you don't move, it will be dead." Tuoba Yue shouted anxiously below.
He Xi also stopped moving, and the thing gradually stopped as she stopped, and He Xi suddenly felt relieved.
Tuoba Yue was using the strength of the ghost vine to leap in the direction of He Xi.
