Chapter 59: The Dark Prison

"It's a pity."

Li Bingru put down the brush and crumpled the dirty manuscript.

"Sister, are you sad about that vow?" Li Bingwu looked at Li Bingru's face carefully. "Since Li Gongzi didn't care about his sister's past, how could he care about his sister's words?"

Li Bingru smiled nonchalantly, "What kind of oath is that?" ”

"What is that sister hurting her mind for?" Li Bingwu was puzzled,

"Xiao Wu." Li Bingru pulled Li Bingwu to sit on the futon, "I thought about it seriously, Li Yuchen may really be a relative of the emperor." ”

"So what?"

"Even if it is a royal relative, how can it be that at this age there is no wife and concubine? Or what childhood sweetheart? ”

Seeing that Li Bingwu was still looking over with a pair of big eyes open, he was puzzled.

Li Bingru smiled, "Xiao Wu, it's a last resort to come to another world alone, I can do anything, but there is absolutely no one thing." ”

"What is it?"

Li Bingru raised her eyes and glanced into the void distance.

"One life, one couple."

Li Bingwu suddenly fell silent.

When Li Bingru retracted her gaze, she inadvertently skimmed into the narrow and dark stone crevice. Thinking of Nangong Xuanming's insistence at that time, curiosity suddenly arose.

"Xiao Wu, let's go to the dark prison and have a look."

"But it's dark down there."

"Don't be afraid."

Li Bingru said and took out an extra-thick wolf hair, wrapped it in an old clothes, put it in an oil basin and soaked it in fire oil, and immediately became a big torch that lasted all day. Then another torch was prepared, and the two walked down the originally dark steps hand in hand.

On the top of the steps, the air was as warm as spring, and as soon as you entered the crack in the stone, the cold air rushed in.

Li Bingru wrapped the clothes on her body tightly, and slowly moved down with Li Bingwu.

The half-foot-wide staircase stood out of thin air, with a stone wall on the right and a hanging in the air on the left, and torches stretched out, faintly glowing, like a stream running down the stone steps. At the end of the stone steps, there is a quiet path, and there is a clear stream of water on the left, so you can't tell whether it is dead water or living water. On the other side of the stream, there is a faint intrigue, like a rolling shrunken mountain, with uneven stone walls overhead, and occasionally stone cones leaning.

Li Bingru tried to avoid places with stone cones above her head, the path was very long, and she didn't know how much she walked before an iron prison door appeared in front of her. The foundation of the cell door was sunken, and the half-man-deep foundation was submerged in water, and the stone walls were covered with wrist-thick chains.

Li Bingru felt a kind of pathos fill her chest.

There is only one cell here, which shows that Li Yuchen spent four or five days in such an environment at the beginning. He changed into Yan Feng's clothes, not only to cover up the bloody clothes on his body, but also to cover up the cold and wetness of his body.

His face was as white as snow, his palms were as cold as ice, and even he was holding her through a layer of sleeves, and he tried extremely hard to make her ignore the strangeness of his body with pain.

Nangong Xuanming insisted on not letting her come down, not because there was some trap in it, but because she was afraid that she would not be able to stand the scene of Li Yuchen's punishment.

Li Yuchen, what kind of person are you? How much forbearance is there?

"Sister, do you still want to go to the front?"

Li Bingwu hugged Li Bingru tightly, it was too cold down here.

It was dark ahead, and the torches that rushed to the sky could not reach the end.

"Let's go check it out!"

Li Bingru used a torch to illuminate the road under his feet and the surroundings, but there was no change. The stone wall slopes slowly, and the road beneath your feet gradually curves towards the rolling hills, where the flow of water comes to an abrupt halt.

"There's no road ahead." Li Bingwu's cold voice trembled a little.

Li Bingru nodded, the rolling mountains did not grow a single grass, only a long loess accumulation, probably because this was an underground secret room.

However, what is the significance of the existence of such an underground chamber? There is a dangerous mechanism set up at the door, it can't be to set up a prison to hold a prisoner, right?

"Let's go back."

I can't think of anything standing here, and it's cold here.

"Ahh

Li Bingwu tripped over something at his feet, and the whole person fell to the ground.

"Be careful!" Li Bingru stopped Li Bingwu in time to prevent Li Bingwu from coming into close contact with the ground. The torch in his hand was thrown out, and I don't know what it hit, and there was a rumbling sound.

"Sister!" Li Bingwu was frightened and frightened, and hugged Li Bingru tightly.

"Don't be afraid." Li Bingru hugged Li Bingwu in time and reached out to pick up the torch, but fortunately, the torch was not extinguished.

"Just now...... What's ringing just now? ”

"I don't know."

Li Bingru comforted Li Bingwu while looking around with a torch, a groove was opened on the wall at the end of the stream, Li Bingru took the torch to take a closer look, and saw four lines of words engraved at the bottom of the groove.

"The treacherous peaks and evil mountains walk the dragon and snake,

The Gen character is reversed to show Kun Qian;

If you get the blue and red twin jade,

All beings are stacked up! ”

Li Bingwu followed the torch and read aloud. "Sister, what does this mean? Are the rumors true? ”

"What rumors?" Li Bingru asked.

"It's a rumor about Celestial Dragon Castle!" Li Bingwu raised his little face, and Qingming's voice said slowly.

"According to legend, the ancestors of Tianlong Fort and the ancestors of the current emperor fought the world together, but the emperor could only have one, so the two ancestors discussed, one was the emperor in the court, the other was the hegemon in the rivers and lakes, the other was in charge of life and death in the world, and the other was sitting on the wealth of the enemy country."

"I see." Li Bingru said thoughtfully, "It seems that this may be where the treasure is." ”

The dangerous heavenly road in front of the mountain is not difficult to explain.

Li Bingru couldn't help but tighten his grip on the torch, treasure, I don't know how many gold and silver treasures there will be? What kind of spectacle should it be?

"For more than 100 years, no one in the imperial court or in the rivers and lakes has not wanted to get this treasure, but no one has succeeded."

"A treasure that rivals the richness of the country, if it is really so easy to get, it is not called a treasure."

Li Bingru said that her eyes fell on the sentence "If you get the green and red twin jade", "green and red...... Jade? Could it be Qingli and Hongzhu? ”

"The legend goes like this." Li Bingwu nodded very seriously.

"The old ancestor is really smart."

Li Bingru coldly hooked the corners of her lips. "It seems that from the day I stepped into Celestial Dragon Castle, there were already people who wanted me to die."

"Who is my sister talking about?"

As soon as Li Bingwu's surprised words fell, there was another rumbling sound on the stone wall, a boulder was pressed down, just sealed on the groove, and one side of the stone wall was intact, and there was nothing unusual to see.

Li Bingru patted it with his hand, every sound was the same, and there were still some natural cracks on the stone wall, and he couldn't tell which part of the groove just now was in.

The two searched for a long time, but they couldn't get the groove to reappear.

"Sister." Li Bingwu said dejectedly, "The oil is almost burned out!" ”

"Let's go up."

Li Bingru clapped her hands, even if she found the groove, without the two jade pendants of Qingli and Hongzhuo, she would not be able to find the treasure, and if she took a step back, even if she found the treasure, the two of them would not be able to move out, and maybe they would be killed.

"Xiao Wu, don't tell anyone about today."

Li Bingwu knew the seriousness of the matter, and nodded very seriously. The two of them walked up the steps of the stone crevice and walked to the mouth of the stone crevice, where Li Bingru threw the two burned torches into the dark water.

"Ah, it's finally warm."

Li Bingwu clasped his hands, jumping and jumping, as happy as he was for the rest of his life.

Li Bingru squinted at the inky black stone crevice, who could say that the experience they had just experienced was not a catastrophe of life and death?

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

Suddenly, there was the sound of gold objects hitting the stone wall at the door of the stone cave.

Li Bingru and the others were startled, and they both ran to the stone gate. Outside the thick stone door, the sound of sharp weapons breaking through the air and piercing could be faintly heard.

"Sister!" Li Bingwu leaned towards Li Bingru.

"Don't be afraid." Li Bingru's face was calm, and her hand fell on the nearby stone wall, not knowing whether to shoot it or not.

Could it be Li Yuchen?

Still is...... Those who want to snatch the treasure?

While hesitating, the stone gate rumbled to the side.

Li Bingru was startled, and when she started again, Nangong Yifeng appeared at the stone gate with a murderous aura, and when she saw Li Bingru, her tense mood was slightly relaxed.

"Ru'er, follow me!"

"What's wrong?" Li Bingru asked out loud, and did not forget to pull Li Bingwu.

Outside the stone gate, there were a lot of black-clothed masked people lying in threes, threes, twos, and twos, standing at the entrance, waving the sword in his hand, and fighting to the death with a few black-clothed people.

"Assassins have entered Celestial Dragon Castle!"

Li Bingru stopped talking, and instructed Li Bingwu to follow Nangong Yifeng's footsteps carefully.

"The windβ€”"

Sun Zixi rushed to this side, holding a silver sword in her jade hand, and her purple gauze skirt fluttering in the wind, indescribably heroic and charming.

"Are you alright?"

Nangong Yifeng shook his head, looking at the sword and the two remaining black-clothed men flying with a dignified expression.

"My sister isn't hurt, is she?" Sun Zixi gritted his silver teeth and glared at Li Bingru, annoyed that at this time, Nangong Yifeng's first thought was Li Bingru in Wusi Mansion.

Li Bingru didn't want to pay attention to it, but thinking that they were here to save her and Li Bingwu, she couldn't help but shake her head silently.

"Young master!"

After finishing the man in black, he carried the sword and saluted Nangong Yifeng.

"There are a total of thirty-two assassins who rushed to Wusi's mansion, and now they are all destroyed."

"Hmm." Nangong Yifeng pursed his lips.

Jian Jian said again: "This time the assassin's swordsmanship is ruthless, and the advance and retreat are also very orderly, as if he has undergone some kind of special training......"

"Then it's not a person from the rivers and lakes." Sun Zixi glanced at Li Bingru meaningfully as he spoke, "Since letting go of that Li Yuchen, how many assassinations have we been in Tianlong Castle to now?" ”

Li Bingru was stunned, isn't this the first time such an assassination?

"Alright, Xi'er!" Nangong Yifeng said in a deep voice, and said to Jian Jian: "Go and see the situation in other courtyards." ”

"Yes!" The sword took the order and left.

"What the hell is going on?" Li Bingru asked Xiang Nangong Yifeng.

"Sister, of course I don't know about the comfort you've lived in Wusi Mansion in the past few months." Sun Zixi handed the sword to Dong Hui, who came later, and said hatefully: "Since you entered the Wusi Mansion, Tianlong Castle has not stopped, you are either an assassin or a thief, and there is no peace for a day. ”

"You mean, I recruited all these thieves and assassins?" Li Bingru looked at Sun Zixi with a cold gaze.

Sun Zixi bit her lip and said, "I didn't mean that." ”
