Chapter Twenty-Eight: Underground
"Who!?"
A strange man's voice came from the dark underground, and Yuying's first reaction was to open her mouth and want to scream.
Zhu Luan's eyes were clear, and he quickly covered the little girl's mouth.
"Huh? Isn't it Granny Chen? Hearing Yuying's voice, the man's voice in the depths of the corridor was even more surprised.
"Could it be a maid who has committed a crime?" The man groaned, "I didn't expect there to be such a smart maid in the house." ”
"Stay here and don't make a sound." Zhu Luan whispered to Yuying, walked to the bed in the corner of the room, rolled up the quilt on the bed, and made the illusion that someone was sleeping, and then she lit the candlestick on the table, picked it up and returned to the entrance of the tunnel.
"Little, small, miss......" Yuying's teeth quirmed, "do you want to go in?" ”
"You have to go in and have a look," Zhu Luan smiled and touched Yuying's head, "Don't be afraid, help me guard here, if someone comes, call me loudly, you know?" ”
Yuying nodded, watching Zhu Luan step by step into the tunnel, and the figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.
……
……
The whole secret room is made of cyan hemp stone, although it is underground, the air is dry and clean, presumably designed by a master, and often maintained and cleaned.
Zhu Luan held the candlestick, the flames in the candle flickered, the faint light could never illuminate the darkness in front of him, and for some reason the man in the corridor stopped making a sound, and the whole corridor was quiet and terrible.
She walked quietly in the dark, about a hundred steps or so, when suddenly a chill spread from her head to her feet, Zhu Luan immediately stopped, squatted down and swept the ground with a candlestick.
She couldn't help but gasp.
Less than an inch away from her toes, there was a crack in the abyss, more than a person wide, black and bottomless, faintly flashing with the cold light of a sharp blade, if she just took a step faster, she was afraid that if she fell like this, she would be immediately shattered.
Zhu Luan looked back in shock, as if he had been drenched in a basin of ice water, and it was instantly cold to the bottom of his heart.
The same crack appeared behind her at some point, like a malicious mouth in the darkness, waiting for its sacrifice.
There was the sound of sand and stones falling down in her ears, Zhu Luan's scalp exploded, the candlelight swept away, and several of the same cracks appeared around her, surrounding her, and these cracks seemed to be moving, slightly changing.
The cracks surrounded her, constantly approaching forward, staring at the constantly changing formation around her, and three words suddenly jumped out of Zhu Luan's mind: "Nine Palace Plate." ”
Jiugongpan is a kind of dangerous array against the enemy, now the formation master who can put this formation is almost extinct, it is rumored that this array generally appears in the mausoleum of the first emperor and some huge riches, can kill the enemy and suppress the demon, and the end is very ruthless. Zhu Luan has never seen the real thing, thinking of this, he doesn't dare to walk around indiscriminately, every step he takes, he is frightened, I am afraid that if he is careless, there will be a gap in her and swallow her in one bite.
Zhu Luan wanted to cry without tears, but he only doubted that he was really not wearing the wrong place? Why is there such a metaphysical and vicious thing in the underground of an ordinary big family in Huizhou.
The senses of the pores of Zhu Luan's whole body seem to be opened, the Jiugong Disk is not a Luban lock, and walking in the formation is walking on the verge of death in the real sense.
The easiest way to solve the Nine Palace Plate is to fill it with human lives, because it is a small-scale formation, and if you fill all nine gaps, there will be nothing left.
But there's another way, depending on whether you go out open-mindedly.
Since he has entered the battle, it is also a death to be trapped in it, Zhu Luan's heart is horizontal, and he blew out the candle with a pop.
Now it's completely dark.
The so-called formation, in fact, has its exact basis, small-scale formations are often confusing people's senses, thus giving people a sense of rapid change, the real thing is not moving, but you feel that it is moving.
The human eye is deceiving.
The fear of death was like a hand gripping Zhu Luan's heart, and she took a deep breath and walked forward intuitively.
This is probably the most terrifying part of the road she has walked in her three lives, the four senses except for vision have been raised to the extreme, and she is exhausted when she walks, and large beads of sweat come out of her forehead, and then roll down the tip of her nose.
After dozens of steps, it suddenly became clear.
It seemed like a long time and it seemed like it was only in an instant, and a bright white light suddenly poured in front of her eyes, and the piercing Zhu Luan had to close her eyes, and when she opened her eyes after adapting to the light, the surprise in her eyes was overflowing.
After passing through the road of death, the biggest secret of Shou'an Hall, the whole picture of the underground secret room, finally appeared in front of her eyes.
The entire chamber is also made of cyan hemp stone, which is not an exaggeration to say that it is a miniature "underground palace".
It seems to be carved out of a mold in the main courtyard of Shou'an Hall, with three bedrooms and one living room, and it is alive and well reproduced in the underground of the main courtyard.
The ground paved with good terrazzo bricks is light and smooth, smooth and warm. The soft silver silk net carried the night pearl the size of a baby's fist, hanging down from the top wall, and the pure white soft light was scattered, illuminating a secret room under the ground as if it were day.
The furnishings are not complicated, but the table utensils are exquisite.
A pavilion book, a case, the jade screen on the side of the case is painted with a full landscape, and the other side is supported by the chessboard, and the black and white clouds made of jade are shining with clear light, and there is still half of the wall left. The golden moire Boshan stove is filled with light smoke, which is extremely quiet.
The shelves are full of books, and there is an embroidery stand near the desk, on which colorful embroidery threads hang down.
Everything is no different from the house where the young lady of an ordinary family lives.
This is definitely the most extravagant secret room Zhu Luan has ever seen.
Zhu Luan looked at the furnishings in the room, and a trace of doubt came to his mind.
Pairs of teacups, ornaments of different styles for men and women, desks and embroidery stands.
Could it be that there is a man and a woman living here?
"That's amazing," the male voice I had heard before came again, only this time it was close at hand, and a man in green clothes clapped his hands as he walked out of the room, tall and tall with a bronze mask on his face.
"The frog at the bottom of the well doesn't know the sea," he continued, "and even the Nine Palace Plate can easily pass through, so I can't even admit defeat now." ”
"What is there to admire, someone must be behind it," a somewhat hoarse strange female voice came from the room, "Brother, don't talk nonsense with her, hurry up and kill something." ”
The man raised his sword and unsheathed it.
Zhu Luan's sweaty clothes that had just passed through the formation had not yet dried, and he sighed when he heard this.
She carefully looked at the man in front of her, the eyes that flashed through the man's mask flashed with pure killing intent, and the sleeves were pulled up to her fingertips, and even her hands were tightly covered.
"As for that? It's the first time you meet, why do you want to kill someone if you don't agree? ”
She hesitated for a moment, then spat out the title.
"Cousin?"
