113. Underground Palace
Before I could react, I felt a condensed breath rushing to my face, and the next moment, I was pulled into the other party's arms, and a soft sigh overflowed in my ears: "Small." ”
I couldn't help but pull the corners of my lips, put my hands around his waist and hugged him tightly, finally, it was him.
Two light coughs came from the side, and my body stiffened slightly, and then I thought that Zhou Tong and Liuzi were still next to me. I only heard Zhou Tong laugh and say: "Brother Yao, you and your little sister are tired of looking at the occasion, it's all bright this day, if Zhuang Yu brings someone to find it, it won't look good." Liuzi also laughed sullenly.
My face turned red, and I hurriedly wanted to get out of his arms, but the hand that could be controlled on my waist was firm, and I couldn't help but look up at him, but I was stunned. This...... Is that what Zhuang Yu looked like? Why does he look so similar to Sheng Shiyao? Almost the outline is like seven or eight percent, but the eyebrows and eyes are slightly different, no wonder when they went to the island, everyone didn't notice when they saw Zhuang Yu change his skin. suddenly remembered that my grandmother said that Zhuang Yu inherited the appearance of his previous life in this life, and in the previous life, King Dian and King Yao of Wu were brothers, and it is possible that they look alike, but Sheng Shiyao has been passed on for two lives, has his appearance not changed?
"Follow me." Sheng Shiyao's eyes sank, and he took my hand and walked behind a big tree.
My heart moved slightly, and after the experience of the past, now when I see a particularly thick tree, I wonder if it will be empty inside. But the fact that we went behind the tree, it wasn't that there was a hole in the tree, as I thought, but that there was a person lying there.
Jane Ning I.
Her eyes were blown closed, as if she had fainted, and I asked in surprise, "Why is she here?" ”
Sheng Shiyao didn't answer me, only glanced behind him, and said in a deep voice: "Zhou Tong, bring people together." ”
"Huh? Why don't you let the six sons carry it? Although Zhou Tong shouted, he still stepped forward and carried Jian Ningyi on his shoulder. Liuzi muttered in a low voice: "Let you carry it, what so much nonsense." ”
After that, we walked briskly, and I got a general idea of what had happened. It turned out that Sheng Shiyao pretended to be Zhuang Yu and took away his grandmother, and he deliberately exposed the flaws to Aunt Mei, and at that time he didn't know what Zhuang Yu was going to do when he left me alone in the inner room, and he was afraid that I would be in danger, so he could only reluctantly make this plan and wanted to lure Zhuang Yu over. But I didn't expect Aunt Mei to hide it, but fortunately, my grandmother said that Zhuang Yu would not be unfavorable to me for the time being, otherwise he would have to think of another way.
After sending my grandmother into my room, he joined Zhou Tong and the two. Before, he had ordered Zhou Tong to dig a hole from the periphery of the castle into the bottom, and originally planned to dig the hole all the way into my room, but I was locked in the ice room by Zhuang Yu, so I had to dig it instead. During this period, Sheng Shiyao returned to the ice room in order to prevent Zhuang Yu from returning to the ice room, risked sneaking into the castle again and robbed Jian Ningyi, no matter how important she was in Zhuang Yu's heart, it could have a certain impact.
Obviously, Jian Ningyi is not light for Zhuang Yu. He led people to search the house all night.
It's no wonder he didn't come to save me in person, compared to digging a hole to save people, his trip was even more dangerous. Because he had already shown his face as Zhuang Yu before, and Jian Ningyi also knew the details of the inside, he couldn't even think about wiping a sweat for him.
As I pondered, his figure froze, and then I looked around, and saw that the castle was in front of me, and we seemed to have gone back again. What's going on? Lost? Impossible.
But seeing Sheng Shiyao making a look backwards, Zhou Tong grinned: "I'm carrying a person, it's not easy to move, let's call the sixth son." This time, the sixth son didn't mutter, walked to the edge of the bushes, and opened the dense grass with his hand, and saw that there was also a hole in the back.
I was surprised and asked, "How many holes did you dig you?" ”
"Little sister, we didn't dig this hole, it was there, we just lifted the soil on the top."
Sheng Shiyao ordered: "Let's go in first." He took the lead and jumped into the hole. When I saw this, I jumped in, and when I got inside, I found that except for the slightly smaller hole, the back was very spacious, much larger than the hole I had climbed before, and the soil on both sides had dried up, and it was obvious that this hole had been dug for a long time.
Sheng Shiyao was about to pull me forward, but I heard Zhou Tong's complaining voice behind me: "Brother Yao, you have to find a way to wake up this woman, you can still carry it outside, how to carry it in the cave." Liuzi laughed unceremoniously, "Old Zhou, you just carry her on your back." ”
"How about you carry it?" Zhou Tong replied angrily.
My heart moved slightly, and I said, "Why don't I carry it." ”
But listening to Sheng Shiyao's arbitrary order: "Okay, the sixth son will carry a section of the road, and wait until he reaches the underground palace to wake people up, and it will inevitably make a sound when he wakes up here." Don't talk nonsense, this place is not suitable for long. ”
Zhou Tong immediately responded happily: "Okay, Liuzi hurry up, I'll just cushion behind." ”
Sheng Shiyao opened his mouth, and the sixth son naturally didn't dare to make a sound anymore, silently put Jian Ningyi on his back, and followed me closely, I could only give him a helpless look. After the entrance to the cave was covered, it was dark, but Sheng Shiyao had a flashlight in his hand to illuminate the way. This time I only climbed thirty or forty meters before I stopped, and I found that there was a hole in the black earth wall in front of me, and on the right hand side was a narrow passage, and I saw that there was some new soil piled up in front of the passage, which should have been dug by Zhou Tong before.
Sheng Shiyao did not hesitate to burrow into the hole in front of him, but disappeared in an instant.
I was startled and rushed to the entrance of the cave to summon him, only to find him standing directly underneath the entrance. Slightly surprised, there is so much space inside? He reached out to me from below and whispered, "Little, come down." I measured the distance, I didn't dare to get into it like he did, I first put my foot inside, intending to go down a little bit, but he grabbed my ankle, dragged me down, and landed firmly in his arms.
He put me aside, and went to help the sixth son remove Jian Ning, and I looked around with the faint light of a flashlight. I noticed that the place seemed to be a corner platform, with two roads branching at right angles, one parallel and the other down the stairs. The height of the entire space is more than two meters, and the walls on both sides are no longer dirt, but stone walls, which is undoubtedly a dark passage that has been built for many years.
I just heard Sheng Shiyao mention the word "underground palace", is this what he refers to?
After Zhou Tong came down, he patted me on the shoulder and said, "Little sister, be surprised." This is my brother I found, I want to dig a hole to save you, I didn't think I dug out a fork in the road, but unfortunately at the entrance of this hole, the hole above was blocked with stone bricks, and I was supported by my hand, and found that it was loose, and the stone bricks were removed and found that there was no hole in it. How's that, isn't it? ”
I nodded and exclaimed, "Awesome." Zhou Tong suddenly smiled, and I couldn't help laughing. I have been depressed for a long time, and I have to worry and worry every day, but now I feel very kind when I listen to Zhou Tong's witty words. It's a pity that Liu Yue is missing among us, otherwise the five-person group would be complete again. Regarding Liu Yue's matter, Sheng Shiyao said before that he needed to find a suitable body to possess his soul, and I believed what he said at that time, but now it is known that it must not be so simple.
First of all, although Liu Yue's life-sustaining lamp is rekindled, and her soul is not gone, where is her soul? Even Sheng Shiyao's ability is so strong, his soul can't be too far away from his body, so Liu Yue's soul must still be in the soul city, even if he really finds such a suitable body, it is impossible to do it. I don't know if Zhou Tong knows the inside story about this, according to my estimation, Sheng Shiyao shouldn't have told him, otherwise he would never be laughing like he is now.
In addition, I remembered that Zhou Tong and Liuzi had a drop in body temperature after collecting souls for Liu Yue, and I didn't need to ask, just from the temperature transmitted by Zhou Tong's hand on my shoulder, I could understand that they did not get better.
Therefore, it seems that Zhou Tong and Liuzi are still fighting with each other as before, but in fact, they just buried the bad things in their hearts. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh secretly, and my heart became heavy.
"Zhuang Yu?" Jian Ningyi's exclamation pulled my thoughts back, and I turned my eyes to look at the ground, it turned out that Sheng Shiyao had woken her up. Then I saw her glaring at Sheng Shiyao with frightened eyes and said, "No, you are not Zhuang Yu!" ”
didn't expect her to be so alert, and soon realized that the person in front of her was not Zhuang Yu, Sheng Shiyao ignored her, stood straight and stared indifferently. This is the difference between him and Zhuang Yu, except for the people he cares about, he will show his emotions, and he will turn a blind eye to the rest of the people.
Jian Ning saw me in a blink of an eye, and asked silently, "Cheng Xiao?" You've been caught too? ”
After hesitating, I bent down to help her, "Ning Yi, can you get up?" A suspicious look searched my face, and after a few seconds she found the clue: "You're together?" Turning to look at Sheng Shiyao, "He is ......"
"You're right, it's him." I confirmed her guess.
Jian Ning was sensitive and knew what was going on, so she quickly guessed that Zhuang Yu in front of her was Sheng Shiyao. She was quite calm, and after receiving confirmation from me, she smiled bitterly and said, "If you want to use me to contain him, I'm afraid it won't work." ”
Zhou Tong sneered on the side and said: "It doesn't work, you have to try to know." ”
At this time, Sheng Shiyao, who walked to the side, said indifferently: "Don't delay here, go down." His eyes flashed over me, and instead of holding my hand, he turned and walked down the steps. I held Jian Ningyi and followed behind, at first she was still a little weak, but after walking for a while, I found that she could walk on her own, and I let go of her.
No one spoke again, and the atmosphere became dreary for a moment. After going down about a few dozen meters, the stairs are flat, and they twist and turn around several corners, and finally come to a stone door. Sheng Shiyao turned something on the stone door, and the door slowly moved up, and he immediately found that there was a faint light inside.
When the stone gate was fully opened, I was speechless in surprise, thinking about what kind of stone room would be behind the stone gate, but I didn't think that there was a space of hundreds of square meters, and the layout and decoration were in the shape of an ancient palace. No wonder they want to call this an underground palace, it's hard to imagine that there will be such a majestic palace under the castle.
