Chapter 48: Under the Wooden Ladder

Xing Hou and his entourage left in the middle of the night. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

When they left, it was still dark outside the window. Han Feng sat on the bench and took a nap against the wall, listening to the constant noise outside the window, and woke up suddenly. He propped up a crack in the window and looked out, and saw that in the firelight, Xing Hou was riding on a horse with a straight figure, and several people behind him were carrying a large iron box that was sealed and impermeable on all sides.

Han Feng rubbed his eyes, said "farewell" to the owner of the ready-to-wear store who was lying on the counter and had just raised his head in a daze, and then picked up a bag of clothes and wanted to push the door and leave.

The boss hurriedly stopped him: "Young man, don't be in a hurry to leave. ”

The two talked for a little in the middle of the night, and by this time they had lost their initial rustiness, and unconsciously, the boss's name for Han Feng had also changed.

Han Feng said, "What?"

The boss said, "You come from outside, it's late at night, and the inn won't open." If you don't dislike it, you might as well spend one night in my shop. Anyway, you don't need money, you are a young person, you can save some if you can. ”

When Han Feng heard him say sincerely, he only felt grateful. Thinking that Fang Cai secretly planned to take him hostage, he felt ashamed.

Han Feng left the capital, this was the first person to speak calmly to him, and he was completely considerate of him. Ever since he was betrayed by Liu Quan on Hongyuan, after Zhuo Xiaoting's death, and then to Yu Tianxing's recent misunderstanding of him, his heart was cold, but he felt extremely warm at this moment.

He smiled, "Thank you." But I still don't need to, I have a place to live. Uncle, you have to be careful when you go back alone at night. ”

The boss said, "Okay, good." Since you have a place to live, I won't keep you. Let's get acquainted once, it's fate, I'll advise you one more time. Since you are an Orion, you might as well join the Hundred Ape Society. Although you can't count it all on your head if you hit Naruto, no one will kill you for gold. I know the second of their leaders very well, and I also buy some fur from him to make clothes, and if you want to go in, I will help you talk. ”

Han Feng smiled: "Okay." I thought about it, and I came to you when I made up my mind. After that, he respectfully bowed his hand to the boss, said "take care" and pushed the door away.

There were more than three or two people on the street, and they were in a hurry, and it seemed that they were all trapped because of Xing Hou's arrival. Han Feng walked around the street twice, and saw that those people were scattered, and the streets and alleys were deserted, before he walked towards the house that Yu Tianxing said.

The house was low, unguarded, and even the door was wide open, and the black hole looked like the mouth of a monster, as if if you would be swallowed to the point of not even a bone if you stepped into it.

Han Feng only felt a chill rise on his body, but at this point, it was already superfluous to think about whether Yu Tianxing was lying to himself, no matter what was in that door, he would have to break in and try it.

He tightened his grip on the cold iron sword, and stepped into the door.

Two steps down from the gate is a wooden ladder that goes down. The wooden ladder was old, and it "creaked" when stepped on, and several times Han Feng suspected that it could not bear its own weight. There were more than a dozen torches next to the wooden ladder, and Han Feng picked up one and took out a flint to light it, reflecting the road ahead.

After walking down a dozen wooden steps, the walls on both sides are no longer wood, but stones. The stones were large and heavy, and every second stone, there was a stone with a word carved on it.

"One, two, three......"

There is a keyhole made of black iron under the stone of the inscription, which is supposed to be opened with a jade key.

Han Feng couldn't believe his eyes at first, until he reached over and touched the keyhole and felt the chill to the bone, that he was sure that this inconspicuous-looking keyhole was really made of dark iron.

Dark iron is the strongest material, and even the cold iron sword can't hurt it in the slightest. It seems that there is some truth to the fact that it is left unattended here.

It's just that the dark iron is so precious, but it is only used as a lock, the thing behind the boulder...... I'm afraid everything is worth a fortune.

Walking here, Han Feng finally confirmed the conjecture he had been thinking about.

Something like this that my father asked him to come for should be a family heirloom. Only a powerful person like Dazai in the DPRK could hide such a precious thing.

What should it be? It can't be a jade seal.

Thinking of the legends he had heard, Han Feng smiled secretly. It is said that a hundred years ago, in the battle for the imperial capital, the jade seal of the country was unfortunately lost, and because of this, there are always rumors among the people that the emperor did not get the right place, and there was no jade seal.

However, after the failure of the second prince's succession, the whole family was killed, and even the two children were shown to the public, even if he really got the jade seal of the country, according to the will of the ancestors, he would not let himself find his descendants to rebel again.

He walked another twenty paces, but saw a spear protruding from the stone in front of him, which said "Twelve."

The spear had come out of the stone, and the tip was pointed straight at the wooden ladder. The tip of the spear was purple-red, like blood and poison, and under the spear was a pile of broken bones, which had been stepped on many times, but it could be seen that there was a half-human head and skeleton inside.

There were deep chisel marks on the stone, and even the keyhole was a messy pick mark, presumably the man was using a tool made of dark iron to pick the lock, but he accidentally hit the trap and died on the wooden ladder.

The dark iron tool had already been taken away by later generations, and Han Feng looked at the ground for a long time but didn't find it.

Thinking that this wooden ladder was moving everywhere, Han Feng's back tightened a little straighter. He carefully rounded the spear and continued his way.

After walking more than 100 steps, I saw "forty-seven".

The locklight was as bright as new, and he placed the torch on the shelf next to him, took out the jade key and inserted it into the keyhole.

Turn it slightly, and with a "click", the lock opens. Suddenly, the stone sank halfway, revealing a gap behind it.

The light of the fire shone into the stone cave that only allowed one hand to reach into, and Han Feng was stunned.

If it was a treasure and antique in this stone cave, or even if it was really the heirloom jade seal, he was mentally prepared, but what he didn't expect was that there was only a small bottle in the stone cave.

The bottle was no bigger than a palm, and it fluttered lightly in your hand, but you could hear the sound of water when you shook it.

There are simply two words engraved on the stopper, and it is very hasty when I want to engrave them, so those two words are very ugly and difficult to read. Han Feng carefully recognized it for a while, and then he was sure that it was "drinking".

"Tell me to drink this bottle that has been sitting for more than a hundred years?"

Han Feng flattened his mouth, secretly helpless. It took a lot of twists and turns to get here, but I didn't expect it to end like this. However, since it is the legacy of the ancestors, no matter whether you will have diarrhea after drinking water, you can drink it obediently first.

He tightened his brow and pulled the stopper off, sniffed it, and breathed a sigh of relief: fortunately, there was no smell in the bottle.

The bottle was red, and it looked black inside, and I didn't know what kind of water it was. He drank it all with his heart crossed, his neck up.

The water doesn't smell like ordinary clear water.

After drinking it, Han Feng was full of disappointment. I was about to stuff the bottle into my arms, but as soon as I turned around, I felt my head suddenly dizzy.

"Not good. ”

It was his last thought before he lost consciousness, and he slowly fell against the stone wall, sleeping on the wooden ladder.

On the Hongyuan, the girl who was as bright as a pearl was looking at the starry sky on the back of the white-haired spotted tiger, and suddenly exclaimed: "Uncle grandfather, uncle grandfather, look at the sky!"

The old man stroked his beard lightly and narrowed his eyes: "Eh, there is a star behind Rahu, no wonder it is so bright......

※※※※※※※※※

At the same time, a beautiful man in a gorgeous costume in Xing Hou's horse team shook slightly.

Several people around him kept staring at him, as if they were afraid that he would run away again.

He sneered and steadied his horse as he took out a cyan jade pendant from his bosom. He muttered to himself, as if he was saying something to the jade pendant: "Qing Xiao, is he awake?"
