Chapter Twenty-Five: Come Up
This is a long, narrow and deep tunnel.
Although the dark passage cannot be said to be pitch black, every ten zhang or so, you can see a luminous pearl, which is embedded in the stone wall in the air.
Although they are called "glow-in-the-dark beads", the beads are irregularly shaped, and some of them are almost triangular, as if the person who made them did not care about them, but just made them out casually! And they are all very small, the largest being no more than a baby's fist.
Of course, you can't expect such a small bead to shine brightly! However, in this too dark passage, even a little firefly will appear very bright, so the faint yellow light emitted by these small luminous beads can also play some illuminating role!
"Sand, Sand......"
The sound of long footsteps came from far and near, and along the dark passage, gradually approached the largest luminous pearl, and a vague shadow gradually condensed together and became clear.
It was a man dressed in a dark color suit, with a faint yellow light, he could still see his sword eyebrows and tiger eyes, his handsome face, his long hair was meticulously tied behind his head, and the whole person's temperament, just like his clothes, was full of heroism!
The man seemed to be very familiar with this dark passage, and he saw him moving quickly along the dark passage, even if he encountered a corner or a fork, he did not hesitate at all!
All the way to the end of the dark passage, the man was blocked by a stone wall.
The stone wall in front of you is very smooth, and it seems to be one with the stone walls on both sides, without the slightest gap. If people who don't know the situation see it, they will think that there is no way forward here!
But obviously, this man knew everything about this situation, and with a slight wave of his right hand, the stone wall in front of him changed!
The originally smooth and hard stone wall is like the water in the lake being blown by the breeze, and there are even a trace of ripples!
The ripples flowed like nothing, and after a while, they stopped, and a small stone gate appeared on the stone wall that had been empty, and in the middle of the stone door, there was an irregularly shaped groove.
As soon as this stone door appeared, the man did not hesitate at all, and directly took out a piece of jade slip from his waist and put it in the middle groove - it was tightly sealed!
A "rumbling" sound suddenly sounded in the quiet dark passage, and the stone door in front of him slowly opened, and the man flashed in, and there was a small room inside.
The man pressed somewhere on the wall, and the stone door behind him slowly closed.
- Unlike the "rumbling" sound I heard in the dark passage just now, standing in this room, when the stone door closed, I couldn't hear a sound!
The man watched as the stone door slowly closed, and finally before his eyes was a wall carved with beautiful patterns. The original stone gate, the pattern is very natural to connect with the side, as if the door just now did not exist!
The man breathed a sigh of relief, tidied up his already neat clothes a little, and then walked to another door in this room, listened carefully to the movement outside, and then opened the door very naturally and walked out.
There was still a room outside, but this room was many times larger than the small room just now, and unlike the darkness of the small room, it was brightly lit, as if it were day!
If an ordinary person suddenly entered such a bright environment from a dark place, he would at least squint his eyes uncomfortably, but this man seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and his eyes did not show a trace of abnormality!
The ten-zhang square space is extremely luxuriously arranged, the walls are carved from white jade, and the complex and exquisite patterns carved by very fine golden lines loom between the walls;
Around the wall, every other zhang, there is a bowl of pearls, originally these dozens of pearls emitted a dazzling light, can make the whole room like the sun, but above the three-zhang high roof, there is a bigger pearl, the volume is even several times that of other pearls!
Around the largest pearl, there are clusters of three-dimensional golden plant-shaped patterns, and those plants can't tell what they are, but they are luxuriant and exquisite, and during the process, hundreds of brilliant gems are embellished!
The light of pearls and gemstones shines together, making everything in the room seem to be sparkling and crystal clear!
The man in the dark robe walked through two white marble pillars with a diameter of three feet, walked to the center of the room, and then stood in front of the golden steps.
At the top of the stairs was a square flat field, with a stunning maid standing at each corner, and in the middle was a huge bed, surrounded by a golden curtain, so that the view could not be seen clearly.
After waiting for a while, he didn't see the slightest sound in the curtain, and a trace of annoyance flashed in the eyes of the man in Xuanyi, and he lowered his head and shouted softly: "Master!"
The golden curtain seemed to ripple for a moment, and soon fell silent again.
The man waited for a while, and was about to exit again when a lazy voice suddenly came from the tent: "Come up~"
The man in the dark robe seemed to be choked for a moment, and looked at the two beautiful maids facing him on the steps, and his face suddenly turned red.
The maids seemed to know what was going to happen, and made a wicked smile at the man in uniform in unison, but the expression quickly disappeared, and the maid's face immediately returned to calm, as if nothing had happened......
The golden curtain was suddenly lifted, and a brightly dressed girl came down from the couch, only to see the girl smiling, Wu Nong softly said to the tent: "The slave and maid retire!"
"Hmm!" the lazy voice rang out again.
The girl turned around, and in an instant, her expression immediately changed, and her eyes, which were originally as gentle as water, glared resentfully at the man in Xuanyi who was still standing at the bottom of the steps.
The man in the dark robe did not look at the girl, but lowered his head to listen to her step by step down the steps, and even lowered his head as she passed him.
The girl looked at the man in Xuanyi who didn't dare to raise her eyes, a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes, and she snorted softly before twisting her body and walking out.
"Poof!" The beautiful maid standing on the top of the steps, after the gorgeous girl completely disappeared, finally couldn't help it, and they all laughed out loud!
"Presumptuous!" came a shout from inside the tent, but the voice was soft and not very powerful.
The maids covered their lips, but the smile in their eyes did not fade at all.
The man in Xuanyi was annoyed in his heart, ignored the maids, raised a still red face, and said solemnly to the tent: "Master, that kid from the Wu family has left Broken Creek Village!"
