Chapter 526: Face-to-face
The reason why Qiqi Gate is called Qiqi Gate is because of its design.
The whole gate is seven meters wide and seven meters high, hence the name Qiqi Gate. Such a huge door, placed underground, is definitely worthy of the word magnificent.
Of course, this is definitely more than spectacular. Behind it, there is also the ability of the Nine Turnstiles.
Make such a door here, and behind the door, there must be a huge dungeon!
Ding Qin had already thought of this. However, when the door opened, he was shocked.
The scale of this dungeon is several times larger than you imagined!
The entire dungeon descends in a spiral shape, and various buildings are built on the spiral ladder surface. Each staircase is not less than two meters wide, from top to bottom, there are fifteen or sixteen floors, and in the middle of the ground floor is a grand palace-like building, although it is underground, it does not lose its majesty and solemnity.
This is the Nine Turnstiles!
Digging such a project underground may not be possible for decades, or even hundreds of years!
Seeing Ding Qin's shocked look, Mei Qing gave him enough time to relax. After Ding Qin took a deep breath, Mei Qingcai said, "Let's go." We don't have to go down one floor at a time, there are vertical ladders that go up to the bottom. ”
With that, she beckoned to one of the guards inside the door. After showing their tokens again, the guards communicated downward through a special communication pipe, after which a stone chamber slowly rose along a stone pillar.
"Let's go. Mei Qing took the first step and entered the warehouse. Ding Qin then stood firm, and the warehouse began to fall.
The speed of their descent was not slow, but the overall feeling was very smooth, and there were no sudden starts and stops. After reaching the lowest level, the door opened, and four people came up to check it.
Judging from the speed at which Mei Qing passed the verification, she still has a certain status. Leaving the barn area, the two of them walked straight towards the palace-like building in the middle.
When passing through the so-called Nine Statues Gate, Mei Qing used another token. The token is smaller, blood-red, and doesn't look like a mortal thing.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the guards of the Nine Zun Gate saw this token, they did not interrogate too much and immediately let it go.
Entering the palace, someone greeted him again. Mei Qing still used this token as a sign, "Quickly inform the door owner and his wife, Mei Qing has an important matter to report." ”
The people there didn't ask much, and immediately turned back. Mei Qing said, "This blood drop order was given to me by my wife herself." It can only be used when something big is happening. And if you see a blood drop order, no one can question it, and you must immediately do what the order holder asks. ”
"If that's the case, wouldn't it give others an opportunity to take advantage of it, and what if the drop of blood makes the user feel bad?" Ding Qin asked.
Mei Qingdao, "There are very few people who are qualified to hold the Blood Drop Order. And the holder only has one chance to use it. After use, the blood drop order was withdrawn. So, unless the person has made up his mind, he won't take such a risk. What's more, the Blood Drop Order is only valid in the Nine Sects. ”
While speaking, Mei Qing took Ding Qin to a meeting room in the palace. When she arrived, she added, "Here we are." This is the place where the blood drop order is specially met. ”
Not long after, a man and woman in their fifties, accompanied by six retinues, entered the parlor.
Ding Qin knew that these two people might be the master and wife of the Nine Turnstile Gate.
Judging from the appearance, the master of the Nine Turnstile Gate does not have much outstanding. His hair was gray, not particularly finely combed, and the beard on his chin was not very carefully shaved, and his coarse cloth clothes gave him a sense of unkemptness, especially in such a palace, and as a man of the highest position, it was a little unpleasant.
But the lady of the door is different. Although she is also dressed relatively plainly, she is born with a noble air, and every inch of her body has a sense of indelible; especially her face, although she is over fifty years old, still carries a youthful temperament, and when placed in the crowd, it is definitely better than the vast majority of women in her thirties, and has become a stunner in the eyes of men.
Mei Qing stepped forward first, saluted and said, "My subordinate Mei Qing has seen the master and the lady." ”
The two also bowed. Because he was Madame's subordinate, Madame asked directly, "Qing'er, you came back in such a hurry this time, and you used the Blood Drop Order, why exactly?
Mei Qingdao, "Madam, the stakes are high. The Nine Turnstile Lord Jia Gu Yun has rebelled and slaughtered the Seven Star Stacks and the Green Water Stacks, most likely destroying the formation of the Five Star Ring Heart Array, with the intention of pointing directly at the headquarters. ”
As soon as she said this, the faces of the owner and the lady changed. The master of the door immediately raised his hand and motioned for all his followers to go out.
When there were only four of them left in the room, the door master said, "Mei Qing." You are just a disciple of Madame's seat, where did you hear all this news? Besides, who is this son you brought?"
Mei Qing was not half restrained, and said very calmly, "Door master." I personally experienced Jiagu Yun slaughtering the Seven Stars with poison. If it weren't for the fact that I still have the poison of the three biochemical spirits that my grandmother was inflicted on me at that time, I'm afraid I'd be dead now. If you don't believe it, the owner can verify it. As for him,"
She glanced at Ding Qin, "He is Ding Qin." ”
As soon as they mentioned the poison of the three living spirits, the faces of the door master and the lady immediately became a little ugly. It's possible that they thought Mei Qing didn't know about it.
And when they heard that the other person standing in front of them was Ding Qin, their expressions were even more complicated.
Mei Qing continued, "Indeed, I shouldn't know about the Five-Star Ring Heart Array. However, this was inferred by Ding Qin from the map. ”
The door master nodded slightly, "Well, with just one map, you can make such an inference, it seems that Ding Gongzi is indeed worthy of his reputation." ”
Ding Qin also stepped forward at this time to salute, and then said, "I've seen the door master." Truth be told, in addition to the map, it is also that I have a piece of information. Previously, when I first arrived in Tiannan Prefecture, I had seen Jiagu Cloud. At that time, he snatched a certain book or a certain picture from the Shang Ling of Yangshan County, a border county. Coupled with what had just happened, and the map, I made a bold guess. ”
The door master said, "That's right, at the beginning, it was Jiaguyun who reported that there was a talent in the rivers and lakes and recommended it to me." I originally wanted to find someone to follow you and wait for an opportunity to persuade you to join us in the Nine Turnstile Gate, but then because of some things, I put it down for the time being. Actually, you know that. ”
He didn't say anything about Mei Qing, obviously wanting to hide it for a while.
Ding Qin said, "Sect Master, if there is really a five-star ring heart array in your gate, Jia Guyun must be ready or have already started to divide the stacks on Da Prawn Corner Island at this time. If the five formations are broken, his target will be directly aimed at Julin Island, and he hopes that the door master will prepare in advance. ”
The door master sneered, "Hmph, just a Jiagu Yun, even if he has such great courage, he doesn't have such great ability." However, since you have come to report to me, the award is still to be awarded. It's better to stay at my ninth turnstile first, and then reward me according to my merits after I finish dealing with the matter of Jiaguyun. ”
After saying that, he turned to Madame, "Madam, it is better for you to check Mei Qing's injuries." In addition, if you need to detoxify, then it is better to detoxify. ”
The lady of the door lord nodded. The master of the door turned to Ding Qin Meiqing again, "Let Madame take care of you, I'll miss a step first." ”
He was in a bit of a hurry when he left, obviously very concerned about the information brought by Ding Qin Meiqing. After he left, the lady of the door master stepped forward and said, "Qing'er, let me see your body." ”
After reading it, her eyebrows tightened, "Sure enough...... In addition to the three biochemical spirits, there are also eclipse spirits. ”
"What is that?" Mei Qing couldn't help but ask.
The lady of the door owner sighed, "It is Wei Zhi's unique poison, and it is also her main means of carrying out assassination missions, and it is also her ability to protect her life." ”
"But how could it be used by Jiagu Yun?" Mei Qing obviously didn't understand.
The lady of the door owner smiled bitterly, "Because, Wei Zhi is dead." Previously, when we sent someone to deliver the message to you, it was because Wei Zhi died. I didn't expect that Jia Gu Yun would be able to learn Wei Zhi's housekeeping skills! No wonder we asked Jia Gu Yun to investigate this case, but we didn't find the exact clue for a long time, it turned out that the murderer was himself!"
What she said actually coincided with Ding Qin's speculation at the time. For a while, Mei Qing's admiration for Ding Qin became even more layered, and she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Ding Qin.
Ding Qin was not surprised by this. Looking at the lady of the door master, he said, "Then may I ask the lady of the door master, is there a way to help Mei Qing cure these two poisons?"
Hearing Ding Qin asking for an antidote, the door owner's wife was slightly happy in her eyes. She nodded, "Well, I can figure it out." You two come with me. ”
On the way out, the lady of the door master really asked intentionally or unintentionally, "You two, it seems that you two are very close, I don't know if you intend to stay together for the rest of your life?" If it is inconvenient for you two to show Master Mei, I can also act as a matchmaker." ”
Mei Qing didn't say anything. Because she couldn't answer at this time.
To say that Ding Qin is unwilling is tantamount to reporting that his task has not been completed; to say that he has already planned to do so, with Ding Qin's personality, he will deny it on the spot, and it will be even more difficult to end it.
Ding Qin understood her situation and said, "Madam, Ding Qin still has something to do, this time, I came here, first, to report to the Nine Turns, I don't want the Nine Turnstile to be destroyed by gangsters, and second, to treat Mei Qing's injuries." As for other things, I don't have the heart to think about it for the time being. ”
The lady of the door master smiled after hearing this, "Well, too." Then I'll thank you for the Nine Turns. ”
After a little further walk into the palace, they entered a pharmacy. The door master's wife opened a secret room by herself, went in and took out two bottles of medicinal powder, "We have backup antidotes for these two poisons." It's just that now that the two of them have formed a balance in your body, either one of them can hurt you. Try taking both at the same time. ”
Mei Qing was about to pick it up, but Ding Qin took it first. "Mixed medicines, I've learned some before, so let's do it. ”
As he spoke, he opened two vials and pumped the powder into the air. After a while, the two medicinal powders merged into one and landed on another clean bottle in Ding Qin's hand. "It's just the right balance. ”
The door master's wife's eyes lit up, "Good technique!"
Mei Qing took the powder and took it orally. Her neck stiffened suddenly, and then her skin turned red all over her body, and she quickly fell diagonally.
