Chapter Seventy-Two: Hidden Murder
(a)
The pale moonlight sprinkled on the ground, and the air was filled with the faint fragrance of lotus flowers.
There was still silence around them, and at this point, time seemed to stand still.
The sky and the earth were dark, Bai Shiyi walked in front with a torch, and Bai Shi followed all the way.
After walking for a while, the two found the lotus pond in the backyard that the young man in Cui Yi said. By the light of the fire, Bai Shiyi carefully groped around the rockery.
"What is this thing for?" Shiraishi found a stone embedded in the rockery, so he touched it with his hand curiously.
I heard a 'boom', and a stone door automatically opened from the center of the rockery. Looking for the sound, Bai Shiyi hurriedly walked back from the rear.
"Where did you find the mechanism?" Bai Shiyi was stunned for a moment.
Baishi picked at the dough and pointed to the stones on the rockery, "Eh~ I'll touch it." ”
Seeing the entrance of the secret passage, Bai Shiyi seemed a little excited, and after looking around again, he said to Bai Shi in a deep voice: "After you go down, be careful in everything." If something happens, one of us has to run out. Whoever it is, send a message back with a blue bird at once. ”
Shiraishi nodded solemnly, "I know, you can rest assured." ”
With that, the two walked down the steps.
The narrow passage seemed to be swallowed up by the boundless darkness, and the deeper they walked, the more damp they felt. The torch in his hand began to flicker, and it looked like it was about to burn out.
"Shiraishi, go faster. Bai Shiyi activated his spiritual power and made the firelight brighter again.
"Oh, Eleven, quick, come here. At this time, Bai Shi behind him shouted and hurriedly called Bai Shiyi.
"What's wrong?" Bai Shiyi hurriedly turned around with a torch.
"You see, it's exactly the same as the side of the rockery. Shiraishi pointed to the stone inlaid in the wall.
Sure enough, judging from the shape and size, the protruding stone on this wall is no different from the previous one.
Bai Shiyi took a step forward, raised his hand and touched it gently. The next moment, another stone door opened on its own in front of the two of them.
Judging from the faint candlelight that came out of the stone door, it was more like a secret room inside. The two stood outside the door and looked at each other, then walked in extremely cautiously.
I saw that in the dim corner of the secret room, two people in red robes were tied together with their backs to each other, and their mouths were also blocked with white cloths.
The red-robed man facing the door widened his eyes and muttered a plea for help, "Hmm... Save... Fate..."
By the dim candlelight, Bai Shiyi was surprised when he saw the fire pattern embroidered on his red robe. Then, he handed the torch to Shiraishi and hurried towards the two of them.
"Are you the envoy of the Fire Realm?" Bai Shiyi squatted in front of the man calling for help, and asked.
Hearing this, the man nodded violently. Seeing that the other person behind him was already fainting, Bai Shiyi immediately took off the white cloth stuffed in their mouths, and then loosened the tie for the two.
"Ahem, cough~" The man covered his chest and coughed violently, and after his breath stabilized, he said to Bai Shiyi: "We are the envoys of the Fire Realm, I am Mo Luo, and she is a dream." ”
Shiraishi was still standing outside the door, puzzled, and asked, "Envoy, tomorrow is the Heavenly God Sacrifice, why are you here?"
After lying the unconscious Dream on the ground, Mo Luo frowned and said to Shiraishi, "Ten days ago, when we were on our way to the border of the Wind Realm, we were attacked. When I woke up, I was locked up here. ”
"Assaulted?" Bai Shiyi lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then said, "But, if you are missing halfway, how can no one report it?"
Mo Luo, who was sitting on the ground, turned his wrist that was strangled red, and conjured a bronze fire order from his palm and handed it to Bai Shiyi, saying, "A few days ago, a bewitching-looking woman in red came here and said a word. ”
"What's that?" Bai Shiyi took the fire order and looked at it positively.
"She said we don't have to worry, someone will go to the Tenjin Festival for us. Mo Luo slowly stood up against the wall as he spoke, and guessed, "I think that's why you haven't received any news. ”
If that's the case, then the Fire Realm envoy on the Remembrance Mountain at this time is fake?!
Thinking of this, Bai Shiyi vaguely had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Shiraishi, come over here and help. Bai Shiyi returned the fire order to Mo Luo, and put his arm on his shoulder.
But before Shiraishi could take a step, he heard a familiar greeting.
"Bai Gongzi, long time no see?"
Shiraishi was excited, hurriedly turned around and threw the torch in his hand out of the door.
Feng Seniang leaned sideways slightly and dodged lightly.
"Such a hidden place, let you find it, the two of you are really admired by Feng Se. Feng Seniang smiled with apricot eyes, glanced at the torch on the ground, and said softly: "And Bai Gongzi, I haven't seen you for so long, why are you treating me like this?"
Bai Shi's face sank, and he said angrily: "Even if it is hidden, we can find it." Hmph, you don't have to be coy here. ”
Hearing this, Feng Se Niang laughed arrogantly, "Hahahaha..." When the laughter disappeared, the bewitching black eyes tightened, and he sneered in a low voice: "I don't let people show the way, do you think you can find it smoothly?!"
Bai Shiyi's face was dazed, but after carefully recalling the deep meaning contained in it, he woke up like a dream, "That little girl is..."
Feng Seniang chuckled lightly and said, "I think, you are the smartest here." After a pause, I saw that she shook her head slightly, and said regretfully: "It's a pity, after tonight, you all have to die!"
"That's up to you. ”
As soon as the words fell, Bai Shi's blood boiled all over his body, and he rushed to Feng Seniang in a few arrow steps. It's just that as soon as he lifted his breath, a tingling sensation swept away his limbs.
Shiraishi hesitated for a moment, but still punched her. In the face of his attack, Feng Seniang calmly turned sideways and easily avoided it.
The soles of Baishi's feet lost their roots, and he staggered a few steps forward, and after standing firmly, he hurriedly turned around and pointed at her, saying, "You... What the hell has been done to us?"
A sneer tugged at the corner of Feng Seniang's mouth, and she slowly turned around and sneered: "I advise you not to urge the aura in your body anymore." Hey, it seems that the people who are not Nian Mountain are just like this, you have found everything all the way here, haven't you noticed something?"
Along the way, there is no difference, except...
Thinking of this time, Bai Shiyi's eyes suddenly flashed in the secret room, and he asked in a deep voice, "Did you move your hands and feet in the lotus pond?"
Hearing this question, Feng Seniang smiled proudly, "Hahaha... It's worthy of Bai Daosi, how about the fragrance of lotus flowers?" Retracting her smile, she faced Bai Shiyi and said, "It's a pity that such a smart person died, but it doesn't matter, I will let the entire Lanfeng Town come to accompany you." ”
"Shiraishi, let's go. ”
With a loud roar, Bai Shiyi in the corner of the secret room had teleported to Feng Seniang. Without hesitation, another palm struck her.
Seeing that Bai Shiyi was deliberately containing, Bai Shi Lock Eyebrows outside the secret passage bit his lip, then turned around and swayed outward.
However, forcibly transporting the aura caused Bai Shiyi's breath to be disordered for a while, and then a mouthful of blood spurted straight out of his mouth.
At this time, Feng Seniang slapped him hard in the chest, and then Bai Shiyi stumbled again, and took a few steps back.
Mo Luo, who was behind him, hurriedly stepped forward to help some people who were unsteady, and asked in a slightly hoarse voice, "Who are you?"
Feng Seniang stroked her cuffs leisurely, and her lips lightly opened: "It doesn't matter who I am." Importantly, Hakumichi, thank you for helping me. ”
Bai Shiyi's face froze, he looked at Feng Seniang and guessed, "You, did you deliberately let Baishi go?"
At this time, Feng Seniang suddenly changed her former bewitching appearance, and said with a calm face: "It's too smart, it's not a good thing after all." ”
(b)
It was night, and the cool breeze like water gently took away the hustle and bustle of the day. At this time, the sky was full of stars, and the blue sky was already full.
Under the stars, on a wide wilderness hillside, two people lay on it.
"Bai Hua, it's good-looking, right?"
Even though there was silence at this time, Qin Binbin's voice was extremely quiet.
Tears crept down the corners of his eyes and quietly sank into the temples, Bai Hua closed his eyes and relaxed, and responded softly: "Well, it's good-looking." ”
The corners of Qin Binbin's mouth faintly fainted, and because his whole body was already unable to move, he had to turn his head sideways with great difficulty, looked at the person beside him, and asked in a low voice: "If I die and change to another person to your side, can you still recognize Senior Brother Qin?"
Bai Hua leaned sideways and rested his head on his hand, the corners of his mouth pulled an ugly arc, and he said in an urn voice: "Yes!"
The empty eyes suddenly shone brightly, Qin Binbin smiled and straightened his head, and said secretly: "Then, I'll rest assured." ”
After speaking, Qin Binbin slowly closed his eyes.
Bai Hua's heart palpitated, and he sat up. Looking at Qin Binbin, who was already with his eyes closed in the moonlight, the corners of his mouth trembled and called softly: "Senior Brother Qin~"
I waited for a long time, but I never saw him respond. Bai Hua's tears burst into the embankment, and then he half-knelt in front of Qin Binbin, carefully touched his arm, and shouted, "Senior Brother Qin, wake up~"
"Senior Brother Qin~"
A mournful cry crossed the silence of the night.
Bai Hua's whole body seemed to be emptied, and her excessive sadness made her eyes black and she fainted.
It's quiet, and the breeze is cool.
As the cinnabar red mole in the corner of Bai Hua's eyes slowly disappeared, a wisp of red mist floating out of Qin Binbin's body also drifted away with the wind.
