Chapter 54: The Secret Passage

 : : : :Qin Xueyi opened the messy vines and walked to the entrance of the stone cave, and Xiaoyu followed behind Qin Xueyi mechanically.

 : : : : There is a breeze blowing in the cave, faintly smelling of earth, the air is quite fresh, I think there is a vent somewhere.

 : : : :Walking into the stone cave, Qin Xueyi took out something from his belt and shook it, it was actually a fire fold. I thought that this girl heard that she was going to come to the Big Buddha Temple, so she made up her mind to come to this secret passage to find out, and even carried the fire fold with her.

 : : : :Qin Xueyi saw Xiaoyu looking at the fire fold blankly, and shook the fire fold in her hand proudly and said: "Xiaoyu, don't underestimate this fire fold, this is made by the best craftsman who spent a lot of money, and it can be lit for five or six hours in a row without extinguishing it!" ”

 : : : :Xiaoyu was taken aback by this Qin Xueyi's audacity, and hurriedly said: "Sister Qin, have you been to this place, I don't know if there is any danger inside!" ”

 : : : :Qin Xueyi smiled confidently: "Don't worry, I walked through it before, and there is nothing in it, but this secret passage is more fun." I didn't take a good look at it last time I was in a hurry, but this time I happened to accompany my sister and we took a closer look! ”

 : : : : While speaking, Qin Xueyi groped around somewhere on the stone wall a few more times, and the stone door was shut.

 : : : : As the stone door closed, the light in the cave suddenly dimmed, and only the fire fold in Qin Xueyi's hand emitted a faint light. Xiao Yu couldn't help but lean towards Qin Xueyi, Qin Xueyi was obviously a little scared, and she also reached out to hold Xiao Yu's hand.

 : : : : "Sister Qin, is there really nothing in this?" The fish's voice trembled slightly in the darkness.

 : : : :Qin Xueyi seemed to be cheering up Xiaoyu, and as if she was cheering herself up, she said loudly: "Don't be afraid, there's nothing in it!" With her voice, there was a faint echo in the dark depths of the cave, and the voice was erratic and even more eerie.

 : : : :Qin Xueyi's voice lowered suddenly, and she mustered up the courage to pull the little fish towards the depths of the stone cave.

 : : : :The depths of the stone cave are still zigzag passages, a while uphill and sometimes downhill, this passage has no traces of artificial excavation, but seems to be naturally generated, and then someone uses this natural stone passage to install a secret door mechanism.

 : : : :After walking for a while, several forks appeared, and Qin Xueyi used a fire fold to shine on the stone wall of each passage in turn for a while, and then chose one of the stone roads to move forward. The small fish is estimated to be a mark made by Qin Xueyi when she came last time.

 : : : :The two groped and walked through a few more forks, and Qin Xueyi chose a passage according to the previous method. As she walked, Qin Xueyi suddenly stopped, and the little fish that followed her almost hit her.

 : : : :Qin Xueyi reached out to hold the little fish, gently shushed at the little fish, and then gently extinguished the fire.

 : : : :She leaned down slightly, her soft lips pressed against Xiaoyu's ears, and said in an inaudible voice: "There is someone in front!" Xiaoyu was startled and almost cried out, and in the darkness she seemed to hear her heart pounding.

 : : : :In the rapid breathing of the two, Xiao Yu felt that Qin Xueyi's body was also trembling slightly, and she leaned against the stone wall and tried her best to control herself to calm down. Xiao Yu recalled, the two of them seemed to have just come to a fork in the road, and Qin Xueyi should have seen something before stopping.

 : : : : The two waited with bated breath for a while, but saw that there was no movement ahead. Qin Xueyi squeezed Xiao Yu's hand, and then whispered in Xiao Yu's ear: "Just now I saw a fork in front of me where light and shadow were shaking. I'll take another look at it now. After saying that, she ignored the little fish, moved her body to the front, and quietly looked at the other fork in the road.

 : : : : She looked around for a moment, then shrank back and whispered to the little fish, "There is no light or shadow, there is darkness over there." With that, she pulled Xiaoyu and motioned for Xiaoyu to follow her.

 : : : :Xiao Yu pulled Qin Xueyi's arm, touched the stone wall with the other hand, and stumbled along. Qin Xueyi stretched out her head to look at it again, and then felt out the fire fold and shook it.

 : : : : The sudden light in the darkness made both of them close their eyes involuntarily, and at this moment, something happened suddenly.

 : : : :Xiao Yu only heard Qin Xueyi's exclamation, and the fire was extinguished.

 : : : :Qin Xueyi screamed, and in the darkness, Xiaoyu felt Qin Xueyi's body in front of him suddenly soften.

 : : : : She was horrified, and before she could react, she felt a strong force from behind pull her aside, and then a man rushed in front of her to block her.

 : : : : With a gust of wind blowing, a familiar man's voice shouted, "Continue! Hearing this, Xiao Yu instinctively stretched out her hand, and a soft body fell on her body, almost overwhelming her.

 : : : : It's Qin Xueyi! Xiao Yu smelled the familiar smell of osmanthus fragrance on his body. She groped on Qin Xueyi's body with trembling hands, touching her body still rising and falling slightly, and then she put her mind at ease.

 : : : :Xiao Yu fumbled to hold Qin Xueyi to the side and leaned against the stone wall, and heard the sound of fists and feet intersecting in front of him, thinking that neither side was using weapons in the dark.

 : : : :Xiaoyu only felt that the wind was blowing on her face from time to time, and her face hurt. The voice of the person who saved her was so familiar, and Xiaoyu searched hard in her heart.

 : : : :In the midst of the lightning, Xiao Yu suddenly remembered that the familiar voice was none other than Murong Hua's voice!

 : : : : How did he get here? Why did you follow me again? What about Baifu? Xiao Yu's heart that he had just put down was lifted again, and his heart was slightly anxious.

 : : : :When someone started to save her, she thought it was Bai Fu, who was secretly following, who made a move. But now it is Murong Hua, although he rescued himself and Qin Xueyi, but this young man has always been unpredictable since he met, and he doesn't know whether Bai Fu is auspicious or fierce.

 : : : : Xiao Yu was still pondering by himself, but the sound of the battle in front of him stopped, as if the winner had been divided.

 : : : : "Light the fire!" Murong Hua's voice sounded in front of him.

 : : : :Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly groped for Qin Xueyi's hand, but Qin Xueyi's hand did not have a fire fold.

 : : : :"No... No, the fire ... I can't find the fire fold! Xiao Yu stammered, and his heart was even more uneasy.

 : : : : There was a rustling sound in the darkness ahead, and a moment later, a fire ignited in a man's hand.

 : : : :Xiaoyu raised his hand to block the dazzling light, closed his eyes slightly and waited for his eyes to adjust to the light in front of him, and looked ahead.

 : : : : The man was leaning against the stone wall, holding a fire fold in his hand, looking at her. This person is heroic, still childish, his handsome face looks cloudy and uncertain under the light of the fire, whether bright or dark, and there is still a familiar uninhibited smile on the corner of his mouth, and it is indeed Murong Hua.

 : : : :Xiao Yu's gaze looked at the ground next to Murong Hua again, where a man in black was lying silent, I don't know if he was dead.

 : : : :Murong Hua looked at the girl in front of him with burning eyes, her little face was pale, and there was still a remnant of unconcealable fear in her eyes, which reminded him of a little rabbit he had raised when he was a child. I don't know where the bun on my head is rubbed, and there is still a little gray stain left, but it doesn't look ridiculous, but it has a kind of beautiful demeanor.

 : : : :Murong Hua resisted the urge to step forward and straighten his bun, and coughed lightly.

 : : : : "The two little girls really don't know whether to live or die, and they dare to break into this kind of place", Murong Hua's playful voice sounded. Murong Hua didn't know what was wrong with him, he obviously wanted to comfort her with a few words of concern, but as soon as the words came out, his taste changed, and he secretly shook his head in annoyance.

 : : : :Xiaoyu pursed her lips, Qin Xueyi and Bai Fu's life and death were uncertain, and she was in no mood to fight with him. What's more, Murong Hua was right, she was really careless, and she actually followed Qin Xueyi to this dangerous place in a daze.

 : : : :Murong Hua saw that Xiao Yu didn't speak, so he walked to Xiao Yu with a fire fold, squatted down and probed under Qin Xueyi's nose and said, "Don't worry, she still has gas!" ”

 : : : :Xiao Yu was slightly relieved when he heard him say this, and was slightly annoyed by Murong Hua's mocking tone, so he glared at him fiercely.

 : : : : "Yo, the little girl is full of temperament, Xiao Wang, I didn't just save you, you don't say anything to promise each other, at least you should say thank you to Xiao Wang, tsk, is there no rule for everyone in this big tan to be so kind and revenge?" Murong Hua shook his head exaggeratedly as he spoke, and the kind of playful and uninhibited tone Xiao Yu was on fire when he heard it.

 : : : : She clenched her fists, although Murong Hua's words were hateful, she was right, they saved her!

 : : : :Xiaoyu stood up tremblingly on the stone wall, straightened his hair and clothes slightly, and said deeply: "Prince Murong is right, the little girl was rescued, thank you for the prince's timely help, wait for the little girl to go out, make sure her parents, prepare a generous gift, and choose a day to come to the door to thank you!" ”。

 : : : :Murong Hua didn't expect Xiao Yu to make such a big gift, he was stunned for a moment and waved his hand and said, "Hmm... This one... This, cough, why should the girl be polite, this gesture, why worry about it, why worry about it! “

 : : : :Xiaoyu's sudden move suddenly disrupted Murong Hua's state of mind.

 : : : : The little fox suddenly put away his teeth and claws, and became docile and polite, and he was quite unaccustomed to it at once.

 : : : :The fragrance of osmanthus flowers on the girl's body floated in the stone cave, reflecting the faint beating firelight, and the girl's earlobes seemed to be translucent, all of which seemed to lure him to touch the little fox he had longed for for a long time.

 : : : : As he spoke incoherently, Jun's face suddenly turned suspiciously red, and he could see it clearly in the flickering light of the fire.

 : : : :Murong Hua hurriedly let Xiao Yu get up, lowered his head to avoid Xiao Yu's smiling face, checked Qin Xueyi's pulse, then took a golden hairpin from Qin Xueyi's head, and groaned for a while.

 : : : :Murong Hua gently stabbed the tiger's mouth point on Qin Xueyi's hand with a golden hairpin for a moment, and after a while, Qin Xueyi woke up leisurely.

 : : : : "What happened?" Qin Xueyi's words were weak, and her eyes looked at Murong Hua's face in confusion.
