Chapter 102: "Warmth"
The cave mansion of the deputy sect leader Li Yulin was built on the mountain.
This can be said to be the closest building to the Snow Mountain in the Yunxue Sect, at a glance, you can see the snow peaks not far away inserting into the sky like a sword, and the dense forest on the mountain is like a dark green ocean, with a cold and secluded taste.
Li Yulin has many apprentices, but most of them live in the periphery.
It was only inhabited by her and her true disciples, so it was a little deserted.
Most of the buildings on the hillside were pitch black, except for one or two rooms with lights on.
The purple scorpion swayed outside, and quickly burrowed down a stone staircase into a building.
At this time, Elder Xue threw out a thin line, wrapping around its tail and controlling its speed.
The dark building, cold and quiet in the night, also carries the smell of danger.
The four of them converged under a tree, and Elder Xue glanced at Ji Que with fear, signaling him to go last.
She was worried that Ji Que's luck would be in front, and if there was a mechanism, she would step on the "thunder" at every step.
Ning Hongyu thought of the reason why Elder Xue made such an arrangement, and couldn't help but want to laugh.
On the way back to Tianren City last time, she had seen Ji Quan's luck.
It was from then on that she felt more and more that Ji was extraordinary.
Anyone who is unlucky, that level of unluck, will inevitably be irritable and depressed, but Ji Que can still maintain a good attitude.
This kind of mentality is similar to that of the senior who pinched and exercised her state of mind, even she thought she couldn't do it.
The purple scorpion crawled through the crack into the door.
The door was bolted, and Elder Xue's fingertips flowed vigorously, and with a single pick, the door opened quietly.
I have to say that if a monk in this realm is a thief, he probably won't lose to the thief Chu Liuxiang.
After that, Elder Xue entered the darkness.
Ji Que was the last to enter the house, and in order to avoid making a disturbance, he also closed the door intimately.
The house was not dark, for there was a patio in the middle of the house, and through the dark light of the day, you could see the drizzle of rain like silk.
Judging from the furnishings of the room, this should be a tea room, and there are several tea sets on the table.
It's just that the room has come to an end by this time.
The purple scorpion whirled around the house, looking anxious and unable to find its way.
Ning Hongyu stepped forward, swept the room with cold eyes, and then squatted down again, knocking on the floor and walls.
Immediately afterward, she walked near a wall, held down two bricks at the same time, and pushed.
With a bang, as in the TV series, a secret passage appeared in the sight of several people.
The purple scorpion was excited, and it was about to drill there, but after being tied by Elder Xue with a thin thread, he was still quite impatient.
The entrance of the dark cave, with a cold air inside, was still Elder Xue walking in front with a wary expression.
After descending a flight of stairs, it was no longer pitch black.
A corridor appeared in front of several people.
There are several pearls on the walls of the corridor, reflecting the whole space in a dark green.
Elder Xue took two steps forward and stopped.
Because from this angle, you can see that there are some transparent silk threads distributed in the corridor.
She looked in a different direction and saw that there were more of them.
Some of them are conspicuously reflected by the faint green light, while others are very hidden and sinister because of it.
It can be said that those who are conspicuous are covering up for those who are not conspicuous.
Elder Xue knew the danger of these silk threads, and he hesitated for a moment.
At this time, Ning Hongyu came over and said, "These lines look like they're dead." ”
The so-called "dead" means that there is no one to control it, or at most it is controlled by an agency.
So the next moment, she pulled out the long, narrow red knife.
The condensed red true qi flowed, and Ning Hongyu slashed out with a knife, bringing a buzzing sound.
The blade swept by, and with the sound of a strong and heavy wind, those transparent silk threads were cut one after another and fell to the ground.
Let's get off the book
Halfway through, new silk threads ejected from the wall, but they were all broken under Ning Hongyu's whistling knife wind.
So after twenty or so breaths, Ning Hongyu was already standing at the end of the corridor, and the ground was full of broken silk threads.
Elder Xue can also be regarded as a well-informed figure, but after seeing such a scene, he was still stunned for a moment.
She didn't expect Ning Hongyu to use such a way, because it was really simple and rude.
In her way of thinking, she will be more inclined to see tricks and dismantle moves, such as playing a game of bamboo cards, someone out of the thousand, she thinks about how to catch the thousand, but also win on the card, while Ning Hongyu is like a handful of the table, with a sword on the neck of the thousand, said: "You, the thousand, also deserve to play bamboo cards?" ”。
On the contrary, you can't say that Ning Hongyu is brainless, because this is the most effective way.
This is the product of audacity and carefulness.
Because Ning Hongyu has analyzed it before, these silk threads are dead things.
The silk thread was very terrible in the hands of that mysterious person, and she and Lao Wang suffered a lot, but without that man's manipulation, it was like that.
At this time, Ji Que had already taken the lead and joined Ning Hongyu.
Elder Xue and Old Man Luo, who had originally opened the way, walked behind instead.
In front of them was an unremarkable wooden door, and at this time, Ji Que and Ning Hongyu both raised their eyebrows slightly.
Because they smell blood.
The purple scorpion, which was tied to the rope, made a small sound at this moment, and rushed towards the door desperately.
Ji Que even felt that it would rather tear off the scorpion tail alive than go in.
With a bang, the wooden door was pushed open, and the blood stains on the ground were clearly visible.
The blood was purple, which was a sign of poisoning.
Elder Xue's eyes jumped, and he said, "She's forcing poison." ”
She didn't stop and rushed in.
The other party was injured and poisoned, and this was the best opportunity for a group fight.
So, the four of them entered the secret room almost side by side.
The chamber was not wide, and soon it came to an end.
But this time, the scorpion found its way and pounced on a landscape painting on the wall.
With a snap, the painting was pierced, and the back was hollow.
A long narrow passage stretched into the depths, and there were some purple blood stains on the ground.
Elder Xue got in, and the flying sword in his sleeve had already slipped into his hand.
After rushing through this passage, the space suddenly opened up, and as a result, Elder Xue was stunned for a moment.
This is a study room with a candle flame, with bookshelves, books, desks and chairs, pens, ink, paper, inkstones, and even a cup of tea next to it.
The person they were going to beat was sitting there.
Deputy Sect Master Li Yulin sat there.
No, to be precise, she was put on the table.
All that was left of her body was the top of her chest, and her eyes were wide open, almost protruding from their sockets.
It was an expression of fear that had never been seen before, so much so that her entire face was slightly distorted.
Li Yulin died.
Li Yulin, who they were looking for, died in his secret room.
Rao is Ji Que saw the corpse that seemed to be half-sculpted, and his heart couldn't help but beat faster.
On the table, there was a cracked white mask, which proved Li Yulin's identity.
The people who were about to be beaten were dead, but although they did not feel the slightest relief, their expressions became more and more solemn.
For Elder Xue, the corpse in front of him was the second-in-command of the Yunxue Sect, the master of the sect after the sect master's retreat, and the sinister figure who almost killed her and Lao Wang.
But she died, less than three hours between the time she killed them and the time she died here, and she died so easily.
Even though she was injured and poisoned, it was too sudden.
What kind of existence would the person who killed her be?
Ji Que was also a little flustered, because for him, this was the person who could open with him that night, and as a result, he became a half-body sculpture of his flesh.
The purple blood on the table was smeared on the rice paper, and with Li Yulin's corpse, it was a gruesome scene.
At this time, Ning Hongyu carefully observed for a while, and calmly analyzed: "The fracture of the corpse is tooth-like, as if it was bitten off by something. ”
This statement sounds even more scary.
In other words, the guy who killed Li Yulin is not a human?
Ning Hongyu touched Li Yulin's head, and then analyzed: "Her hair is not messy, it can be seen that she died very suddenly, and it is very likely that she was attacked by a sneak attack and was killed by one blow."
At that time, the murderer may have been ambushed here, and when she relaxed, he delivered the fatal blow. ”
"In short, this is indeed a very scary existence." Ning Hongyu analyzed.
Elder Xue's face was a little pale, and he said, "I feel like we have to continue to find helpers. ”
Ning Hongyu said, "Who are you looking for?" ”
"Sect Master, this is not the time for him to retreat." Elder Xue said with a solemn face.
The candle flame in the secret room reflected the faces of the people, some of them green.
Ji Que took the mask, looked around, and had to admit that the study was quite warmly furnished.
He should also get a study in his residence, no matter how he says that he is also a scholar, how can there be no scholars?
Well, this style can be used as a reference.
Ji Que looked at Li Yulin's half-cut corpse and thought.
