Chapter 236: After the Truth
The moment he saw the long and narrow shadow, Wu Zhiyuan was shocked. But before he could react, he saw the shadow short, and it seemed that the thing behind him was crouching down and approaching him.
Wu Zhiyuan almost screamed, he didn't think much about it at this time, turned his head suddenly, and at the same time leaned forward with the oil lamp in his hand, and looked at it, there was actually a person standing behind him!
"Moon Shadow!" Wu Zhiyuan lowered his voice and shouted, both surprised and delighted in his heart, "How did you get in?" ”
Standing behind Wu Zhiyuan was the Moon Shadow Fuxian, at this time she looked back at the huge snapping turtle in the pool with a nervous expression, and saw that the snapping turtle did not move, so she whispered: "It's a long story, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, we have to leave quickly!" ”
Seeing that Moon Shadow Fuxian looked nervous, and remembered the previous scene when the snapping turtle climbed out of the pool and attacked him, Wu Zhiyuan suddenly had palpitations, so he nodded and was about to stand up.
At this moment, the voice of the black-clothed man and Li Lanru came from the opposite side of the stone wall, Wu Zhiyuan hurriedly stopped his action of getting up, and at the same time waved his hand to the Moon Shadow Fuxian behind him, signaling her not to make a sound.
I only heard Li Lanru cough a few times, and asked the man in black, "How is that girl from the Black Gate now?" ”
Wu Zhiyuan suddenly became suspicious in his heart when he heard this, and said secretly in his heart: "The girl who descended from the black gate? Could it be that he was talking about Moon Shadow Fuxian? Thinking about it, he turned his head sideways to look at the Moon Shadow Fuxian who was squatting beside him, and saw that she was also turning her head to look at herself, with a very strange expression on her face.
Moon Shadow Fuxian pulled the corner of Wu Zhiyuan's clothes, and was about to stand up, as if to signal Wu Zhiyuan to leave immediately. Wu Zhiyuan saw that she was so anxious, so he held her slender jade hand with his backhand and nodded to signal her not to worry.
Moon Shadow Fuxian continued to crouch down with great reluctance, looking restless between his actions.
Wu Zhiyuan wanted to say something to comfort, but he heard another voice from inside the stone wall, so he hurriedly listened carefully.
"I had just come back from the mass grave, and the girl was so clever that she had discovered a secret passage left by the grave builders, but the steel rings on her neck and feet were made of stainless steel, and although she found the exit, there was nothing she could do. In addition, the water and rice have not been eaten for a few days, and now they are skinny and dying, haha......" The man in black said, laughing wildly.
Hearing these words in Wu Zhiyuan's ears, it was suddenly like a thunderstorm on a sunny day, he only felt a "buzz" in his ears, and the conversation between the man in black and Li Lanru had no intention of listening, and then they said roughly that they could not hand over the Moon Shadow Fuxian to Nantian Eagle for the time being, and they wanted to use her to blackmail Wu Zhiyuan or something.
Wu Zhiyuan turned his head sharply to look at the Moon Shadow Fuxian who was squatting beside him.
What the man in black says is never false! In other words, the Moon Shadow Fuxian asked Wu Zhiyuan to crawl out of the stone crack first, and she herself failed to escape at all, and she has been imprisoned in that mass grave!
Who is the Moon Shadow Fuxian beside him who accompanied him through the dangers in the imperial tomb? Is it a human or a ghost? Still is......
Wu Zhiyuan looked at this unidentified woman, only to see her looking at the stone wall opposite in a daze, with beads of sweat rolling down her cheeks.
She obviously also heard the conversation between the man in black on the other side of the stone wall and Li Lanru, and gently pulled back the soft and slender hands that Wu Zhiyuan was holding.
"Is that you?" Wu Zhiyuan vaguely guessed the identity of the other party, the Moon Shadow Fuxian in front of him has always been fake, and it has always been the woman who looks the same as the Moon Shadow Fuxian before, that is, the "princess" that Li Lanru and the black-clothed people said.
The woman's gaze kept looking at the stone wall, and she didn't answer.
"You want this towel?" Wu Zhiyuan took out the towel with the treasure map from his arms, and said in a deep voice, "I can give it to you, but there is one condition!" ”
The woman suddenly turned her head to look at Wu Zhiyuan, her eyes sparkling, as if she had a thousand words to pour out.
"Release the woman you arrested who was locked in a grave for 10,000 people!" Wu Zhiyuan said with a straight face, "I am not rare at all about the treasure map on this scarf, as long as you let her go, I will give you this scarf immediately." ”
The woman's eyes were fixed on Wu Zhiyuan, and under the light of the oil lamp, her pupils flickered.
Wu Zhiyuan looked at this mysterious woman, thinking that Moon Shadow Fuxian was locked in a dark and damp mass grave and suffering, and his heart was about to burst into anger, but he also thought that he and this woman were also husband and wife, so he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and stuffed the towel into his arms. Knowing that this woman is a princess, her words must be not light, if you can convince her, it will be much easier to save the Moon Shadow Fuxian. I was about to say some more persuasive words, when I suddenly heard the sound of "banging" water behind me, followed by a sound of breaking wind!
Wu Zhiyuan didn't have time to look back at the situation behind him, but he had already guessed very thoroughly in his heart, the snapping turtle had crawled out of the pool and was swooping towards the two!
Although the snapping turtle is huge, it is very agile, and it is almost close to the lightning and fire.
At this moment, something unexpected happened to Wu Zhiyuan, only to see the woman pounce and throw Wu Zhiyuan aside. The oil lamp in Wu Zhiyuan's hand did not grasp it steadily, he flew away and fell on the gravel on the ground, the kerosene was spilled on the ground, and the oil lamp was immediately extinguished. Almost at the same time, the snapping turtle swooped into the air and slammed headfirst into the stone wall, knocking it out of a hole more than a man high.
There were a few oil lamps on the opposite side of the stone wall, and the light was very bright, illuminating the position of Wu Zhiyuan and the woman a little.
The woman threw herself into Wu Zhiyuan's arms and let out a few moans. Wu Zhiyuan's hand holding her left shoulder suddenly felt slimy, and with the light transmitted, Wu Zhiyuan stretched out his hand to see that it was actually full of blood!
It turned out that when the woman knocked Wu Zhiyuan down, although she moved extremely fast, she was still cut by the snapping turtle's sharp claws and cut her left shoulder, and the wound was deep, and the blood was already flowing at this time.
At this time, the huge body of the snapping turtle was almost completely blocked at the entrance of the cave, and the panicked cries of the black-clothed man and Li Lanru could still be heard inside.
"Chitose, don't panic, put out the oil lamp quickly!" The man in black shouted in a panic.
As soon as the words fell, the light in the stone wall dimmed, and the surroundings suddenly fell into a terrifying darkness.
At the same time, there was a dead silence all around, and there was no sound inside or outside the stone wall.
Wu Zhiyuan hugged the woman in his arms, just lying next to the snapping turtle at a distance, he covered the wound on the woman's left shoulder with his own placket to prevent the blood from flowing out, one was afraid that the woman would bleed too much and her body would not be supported, and the other was afraid that the snapping turtle would smell blood and attack the two.
For a while, there was a strange atmosphere in the air, and Wu Zhiyuan seemed to hear the rapid and restless breathing of the two people in the stone wall.
