Chapter 14: Lantern Worm Poison Ointment

However, in the secret passage, the light is bizarre and dangerous.

How could Yu Qi not know? But in order to appease Sanxi, she must be so righteous and awe-inspiring.

Right now, this pitch-black secret passage is even darker and colder than the previous few times I came in. She groped all the way, breathed rapidly, counted her heartbeat all the way, and almost turned her head in fright because of the light and shadow in front of her, but she turned her head and looked down at the ground below her, her slender black shadow was like a ghost, more terrifying than the shadow of unknown things in front of her.

Passing by the scabbard, passing by the bones, turning the corner, coming to the fork.

Yu Qi complained in his heart that his feet were small and narrow, and he hated that he couldn't do it all at once. But I also thought: How hard I have walked all the way in, even if my feet are small, it is enough to trample you and other family members without the power to recover.

That's right, every place and every step here has its meaning of existence. And what he stepped out of is to prove that its meaning does not have to exist, so that their home is as dilapidated and decadent as their own house.

Therefore, Zhuo Yiting, like at the beginning, has to climb in when he crawls, and he has to kneel down when he walks.

Yu Qi couldn't help but think of those hateful clouds and cheered himself up. Finally, I arrived at the secret room where the stone door was opened with a bracelet.

Stand in front of the stone door, remove the bracelet, and put it in the groove.

There was the sound of chains sliding and pulling on the walls.

The stone door opens.

As before, a frame is pitch black.

Yu Qi carried the lantern, held his breath, and saw that the frame in front of him was pitch black, like a black mouth, as long as he accidentally stepped into it, it would be swallowed and corroded.

This time when I came in, there was no one around, and it really happened, and it really called the sky and the earth not to work. My heart was beating suddenly in the depths of my chest, and the closer I got to it, the more violently I beat it, and my scalp and skin were numb.

Just said those righteous words to Sanxi, and that momentum came here, but it was gone.

What's going on? Scared? Surprised? Want to back off?

No, even if you don't come this time, you will come in next time! If nothing else, just for the jewels in the room, for the mysterious man covered in silver, I have to be brave enough to find out. What's the difference between coming next time and coming this time?

Yu Qi closed his eyes and tried to calm down. I can't calm down, pinching my wrist, the pain can remind me of the tragic death of my parents, my sister is in the cold palace, and Xianyuan'an is stained with blood......

Pain, pain inside and outside the body.

At this moment, Yu Qi took a step. The lantern sticks in first.

feet, fall inside, step on soft moss. One step, one step, the whole body. The cold wind that came out of nowhere surrounded and wrapped tightly.

Yu Qi felt his own trembling, and his palms were cold and moist as he pinched the lantern pole.

Squint your eyes and keep walking. Finally, after passing the moss area, I reached the black floor stone, and stepped down inadvertently, and there was a sound.

Suddenly, the fluorescent sparkle and rippled outward like a halo of water.

Yu Qi glanced around, as before, quiet.

Yes, my pace is not slow, I walked to the edge of the stone in the "Rosewood Dock". The fluorescent lanternworm around you is the best place to sign.

Follow the lamp to the back of the stone, so in front of the position, turn the amethyst gourd stone of the red sandalwood dock, there is a stone door, and there will be light inside. Now, as before. On the ground behind the stone door, she blew out the light last time she came, and let Sanxi put it in a corner somewhere.

Now, the light of the lantern has been removed, and it is searched, why is it gone?

Or do you want to leave it somewhere else?

Yu Qi wanted to continue to find the candle lamp, and searched for a small half circle, but to no avail.

After slowing down for a while, thinking that it is inconvenient to stay here for a long time, it is better to quickly catch the lantern worm and leave quickly. So, she put down the lantern in her hand, took out the cloth bag she had just brought in from her body, and followed to catch the lantern worm.

The lanternworms seemed to know that someone was going to catch them, and when she got closer, they dispersed in swarms. In order to catch it as quickly and accurately as possible, Yu Qi almost chased after him, leaving the cloth bag open and fishing. Who knows, the more you chase forward, the darker it becomes, I don't know where my feet are empty, and I roll down. Fortunately, there is no danger. But when he fell, the movement was not small, and it scattered the dense lantern worms.

Frustrated, she got up in pain, fumbled for the sack, and saw how many insects were left in it, and saw that most of them flew away.

Yu Qi secretly sighed a pity, and couldn't help but think of Bojing Laoni's words: insatiable, progressive, difficult to end well; Everything is one, and contentment stops, but it will benefit greatly.

I just acted, isn't it just greed for pleasure? It really doesn't work out. But if you don't do it yourself, how do the insects get into the cloth bag?

Yu Qixin's thoughts: Master Bojing also said that it is not impossible to wait for the rabbit.

The lanternworms shine in large patches because they are used to swarming. Otherwise, leave your pockets open and show the insects inside, so that they can attract the outside and throw themselves into the net.

Yu Qi was complacent, so he opened the cloth bag, folded some green plants from the ground, and propped them up at the mouth of the bag. So, go back to the lantern and sit down.

Wait for the lanternworm to throw itself into the net.

After sitting for a while, I saw those insects slowly leaning towards the cloth bag.

When Yu Qi saw this scene, he was overjoyed. At this time, there was a strange sound from the stone door behind the stone of Rosewood Dock.

Yu Qi was alert and listened quietly, but the voice was gone again. I think the mysterious man covered in silver came out to drink water again? For a long time, Yu Qi boldly carried the lantern and approached the stone gate.

The light inside was still the same, even brighter than the last time.

A slight probe looked inside, looking at the ball of light.

The ball of light is the same as before, the pool has no waves, the water's edge is dead, and there is no one.

I guess I was too nervous and had psychedelic auditory hallucinations.

In the blink of an eye, I looked at the cloth bag, and the lantern worm was slowly crawling in, and it would take a while to decorate it. Why don't you take a look into the light hole? Find out who the mysterious man is. If you can visit, you won't come in vain.

After thinking twice, Yu Qi boldly entered.

Inside, the stones that had collapsed before, the gold and silver jewels on the ground remained. Looking at the jewelry boxes again, if I remember correctly, last time there was a box that was smashed by the spar on the top, and there were still a few mouths on the side that had not been opened, and now, all of them have been opened.

Yu Qi was about to walk towards the box when he heard a gasp of breath. The voice came from the entrance to the cave where the mysterious man had left.

Yu Qi walked lightly towards the entrance of the cave, and the closer he got closer, the clearer the wheezing sound. When she stuck to the edge of the hole, she saw a line of wet footprints on the stone floor under her feet, and there were them last time, but they were half-dry, but this time they were freshly wet, as if these footprints had just come out of the water.

Follow the footprints and look inside. When I saw it, I was shocked, don't go outside the cave, there is a hole in the hole.

I saw that behind the stone gate was an elliptical stone cave, the strange rocks on the left were craggy, and the spring water flowed down and poured into a pool of water; The right side is flat, and the ground is covered with emerald and emerald floors, which are very empty, and when they extend to the back, they are pitch black, and I don't know what kind of landscape there is. If it weren't for the sound on the left, Yu Qi would still want to step in, and want to go to the right to find out.

I saw that the sound on the left stopped, and a drenched man came out from behind the stone with his back to Yu Qi, and he couldn't see who it was, only to see that the man was carrying a bulging cloth bag.

Yu Qi was frightened and couldn't help but want to see the person clearly.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound on the right. Yu Qi remembered the sound of the mysterious man's crutch hitting the ground.

Yu Qi was shocked: there is more than one person living here!

Yu Qi wanted to get out of the way, but the person carrying the bag on the left heard the voice, panicked, and spontaneously said: "It's suffering!" ”

The voice was very familiar, and Yu Qi seemed to have heard it somewhere.

The crutch of the mysterious person on the right touched the ground closer and closer, and the person carrying the bag on the left was even more nervous, shaking the bag in his hand, making a jingling sound, and complaining: "Leave half of it first, and I'll get it next time!" I curse whoever takes it will be struck by lightning! ”

That voice, that temperament is all too familiar.

Yu Qi thought of a person in his heart, and he was the exquisite meaning of the fence bamboo garden.

That day, he played plum blossom brand with his sisters in the rolling garden, and Zhuang Yu went outside to pick plum blossoms, saying that he saw that the girl was soaked, and he used that experience as a joke. Now this scene, this voice, I can't help but think of the plum blossom branding, and think of the girl Zhuang Yu said.

Then, the top of this place should be Dongfu. How did the girl know that there was such a place? How did she get in?

Yu Qi strengthened his courage and leaned in to see. At this glance, I just saw the person carrying the bag walking into the pool, tilting his head and taking a breath, and then sinking into the water. The moment she looked up, Yu Qi saw clearly, this person was Linglong!

Because the voice on the right was approaching, Yu Qi didn't dare to stay for a long time, and hurriedly pulled out with the lantern.

Only then did he walk to the edge of the ball of light, and a terrifying voice came from behind him: "Who? At the same time, the crutch slammed to the ground, making a loud noise.

Yu Qi stood involuntarily and held back his breath. Turning his head slightly and squinting behind him, he just saw the mysterious man covered in silver.

Yu Qi's hand holding the lantern trembled, and his heart in his chest beat sharply. Such a light, such a cave, such a voice, such a person, it is no exaggeration to say that this place is in hell.

Tears rolled in his eyes. Yu Qi regretted coming in.

The mysterious man stomped his cane again and said, "Have you come to see me after all?" Then he laughed hoarsely, stopped, and said, "Finally willing to come to see me!" Why don't you speak? Didn't expect that, right? I can still speak, and I can blind my eyes, but I don't dumb my throat! Speak! Speak! ”

Blind? Yu Qi breathed a sigh of relief in nervousness, but still didn't dare to move, for fear that making a sound would make the person hear.

The man said, "You can't imagine that I'm still alive, do you?" Yes! Hahaha...... You guys are so poisonous! You're vicious! ”

As he spoke, he stomped on the crutches in his hand and walked out step by step.

Yu Qi knew that if he stayed any longer, the people behind him would definitely bump into him. So, gritting his teeth and moving his steps lightly, he gently walked out.

Even though the voice was subtle, the man noticed it, and his steps became more and more vigorous.

Yu Qi was terrified to the extreme, regardless of whether he was exposed, he just wanted to rush to the stone gate and go out quickly to get the cloth bag containing the lantern worm.

So, she ran away.

Yu Qi ran, and the person behind him let out a cold smile and chased after him.

Or because the person behind him was blind and excited, he didn't notice the scattered jewels under his feet, slipped and fell, and rolled into the water.

Yu Qi ran to the stone gate, looked back in horror, and saw the mysterious man struggling in the water to get up to the edge of the pool.

The man roared, "I know it's you!" I know! Don't go, don't go! ”

Yu Qi arrived outside the door, a little relieved; But there seemed to be tens of millions of catties under his feet, and he couldn't move away, so he could only tremble and stick to the stone door. Turning his head slightly to the side, the man climbed up to the edge of the pool, as if he was exhausted, lying there motionless. After a while, his whole body convulsed again, and slowly squirmed, and his whole body seemed to be boneless, and after a few cups of tea, the man sat up.

The man laughed heavily, sobbed, and said in despair: "In this life, in this life, in the next life, in the next life, I curse you not to die well, good and evil will be rewarded, and reincarnation is coming." Wait and see, I am in darkness, and you may not be light forever! ”

This man is so bitter that he has such a poisonous curse, I don't know what he has experienced? Yu Qi was frightened and thought that in this place, this person, what happened to this person must be the evil thing done by the people of Zhuangfu. Think about it, and have pity on that man. Listening to the scolding, he was inexplicably excited, and he suddenly gave birth to a sense of anger against the same enemy.

If it weren't for the terrible appearance of that man, I would have wanted to go up and salute him.

But who is this man? Why here? Why do you say that? What did the people of Zhuang do to her? What has happened in this place before?

Yu Qi was suddenly full of doubts, just now those fears faded in the doubts, his strength gradually recovered, and he was deeply excited: When he finds out the origin of this person, the collapse of the Zhuang Mansion is just around the corner.

At this point, Yu Qi was even more convinced that the people of Zhuangfu were evil.

Exiting the stone gate, the lantern looks for the cloth bag. When I got the cloth bag, it was really full of drills, and there was a pile of light.

Satisfied, he closed the mouth of the bag, and was about to leave with the lantern, when suddenly, the lantern flickered, and there seemed to be something on the ground. When the lamp shone brightly, I suddenly saw a skull on the ground, and its teeth were inlaid with bright gold.

Yu Qi screamed in surprise and retreated again and again.

Just then, when the man inside heard the voice, he yelled and asked, "Who?" Who is it? ”

Yu Qi bit his lip, stared at the skull, ignored the inquiry of the person inside, and then shone at the skull by the lamp, and saw that there was a stall of rotten bones on the ground next to him.

Yu Qi was frightened and his eyes widened.

A voice came from behind him: "Since you're here, why do you want to dodge?" Isn't it because you're trapped here that you want me to fend for myself? Isn't that what you want me to be? Speak, speak to me! ”

In front of and behind Yu Qi's body, he was still and moving, and he was caught in the middle, except for Mu Ran, he couldn't show anything. After a pause, let yourself be completely calm. Then I stretched out the lantern to shine and see the bones clearly, dressed in costumes, mostly women, bright pearl ornaments, between the finger bones, and emerald rings, white jade bracelets......

Seeing the hideous teeth of the skull, Yu Qi immediately closed his eyes and retreated. At this time, behind the stone gate, the mysterious man was holding there, beating with a cane, and said fiercely: "I know that you have always been ruthless, blame me for listening to you." I don't want to be able to escape and see the light of day again, but I just want you to tell me that he is okay? Are you still healthy? ”

The man wept lowly.

Yu Qi turned his face away from the pile of bones and looked at the stone gate.

I saw that the man was a silhouette, trembling in danger.
