Volume I: Revelation Chapter 9: The Secret Before It
After Liu Yu and I looked at each other, we walked over together.
Facing the door, before I landed, I only heard a "squeak", the wooden door fell, somehow, a faint mist filled the front, heard the sound, a "salsa" sounded.
Don't think about it, I immediately grabbed Liu Yu and squatted. Sure enough, just as I expected, a group of black things flew over us from inside the door.
"How can there be bats here?"
"The appearance of bats means that this place has been uninhabited for a long time, but..."
Suddenly, a musty smell came out of it, even with a rancid smell, and I immediately covered my mouth and nose as soon as my mind was clouded, and the smell was suffocating.
Liu Yu was still walking in casually, but he also knew how to block his mouth and nose, so I blocked him with my hand, grabbed his arm and retreated.
Today, I don't know if Liu Yu took the wrong medicine, or the injury just now caused his intelligence to decline sharply, such a big problem was not found, I broke out in a cold sweat from the bottom of my heart, this ancient castle is a bit too outrageous, some of the phenomena just now fully remind us that this is a long-abandoned ancient castle, but the scene in front of us is that the ancient castle is actually open and the lights are on, this is naked danger, I skipped a possible picture in my mind, and I couldn't help but shiver.
"This is Young Master Jin."
Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice sounded from behind me, I turned my head, and under the faint moonlight, with the faint light from the castle, a face of nearly forty years old appeared in front of me, dressed in a tunic suit, with a smile on his eyebrows, and it was Quan Juncai standing next to him.
I turned my gaze to Jeon Jun-jae.
"This is Captain Xiao who followed Jinren's team back then......"
As soon as this person stretched out his hand, Uncle Quan stopped talking, it was the first time I had seen Uncle Quan so obedient.
"Under Xiao Qingwen, I have heard for a long time that Young Master Jin is different from ordinary people." The corners of Xiao Qingwen's mouth twitched, and the words he spit out made me feel weird.
I looked him up and down, no matter how I looked at it, I felt that something was unpleasant, and then the corners of his mouth twitched up slightly, and he said: "If Young Master Jin has seen enough, go back with us, Xiao Qingwen is here to pick you up today." β
"But thisβ" I turned my head to look at the castle and nodded.
"You don't have to, we'll still be back here, but there is something important at the moment, so let's put it aside first, and it's not too late to come back when we figure it out."
Uncle Quan also interjected: "Yes, Captain Xiao was the captain of your uncle's team back then, and he knew more about the things of the year than I did." β
When I said this, I noticed that Uncle Quan's face was more nervous, and he was holding his left shoulder with one hand, looking very painful.
"Uncle Quan, what's wrong with you?" I tried to ask.
Uncle Quan looked up at me and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just a little bit of a slight injury." He took two steps back, and I could clearly see a hint of surprise in his eyes.
I didn't pay attention to Uncle Quan anymore, but I felt that the two people in front of me were always a little weird, and even suspicious, and I was startled, what happened to me recently, I was always suspicious, but Uncle Quan's friend came.
After that, I didn't think much about it, and Liu Yu followed the two down the mountain together, and I didn't encounter anything on the way, so I was relieved.
I helped Liu Yu back to the Imperial Spirit Hall, and then arranged for him to rest, and went to get medicine for him according to Uncle Quan's instructions.
"This Jin Rongxuan is much more mature than I imagined."
"Indeed, I have experienced a lot of things these days, and I found that this kid is indeed smart and grows up very fast."
"Hmm... I have to work harder on weekdays. β
I heard them talking about me, it was some dispensable conversation, and I didn't listen much to it, and walked out.
"Alas, but you have to hurry up about Jinren, there is already movement on the side of the armed team."
Suddenly, Captain Xiao began to turn the topic to the Jin family, and I immediately paused.
"I ......"
"Ahem! Quan Juncai, I see that your business in the Imperial Spirit Hall is getting hotter and hotter. β
"Uh... Where, where the words. β
My heart skipped a beat, and I realized I had been discovered, and I walked out quickly.
When I returned to the Imperial Spirit Hall again, Xiao Qingwen had already left, and Uncle Quan stopped at the door, as if he was waiting for me to come back, and when he saw that I was coming back with something, he ran out and took the medicine in my hand, and said, "You go to the hall first and wait for a while, I have something to say to you." β
A few minutes later.
Jun Juncai came over and said, "At present, there has been a new change in Jinren's matter, and we can't think about it little by little like before." β
Uncle Quan paused and said: "We got a little bit of news about Jinren, of course this news is not obtained by us, this time you have to contact more professional and upper-level people, the matter may be a bit big, it came too suddenly, and I will tell you slowly when I have time in the future, we have to finish one thing at present, we have to set off, you have to think clearly." β
"But ......"
"I know you have a lot of questions now, and I can't answer them for you right now, so I'll tell you about them later."
I saw that the situation could not be reversed, so I nodded.
Uncle Quan nodded when he saw me, and then said, "Next, what we have to do is to find any clues left by Jin Ren in the Ghost Valley, according to the preliminary judgment, that ancient castle is the greatest possibility of their starting point hiding residence. β
"So, you've mastered your uncle's route?"
"No, we're just having preliminary clues now, and we don't know anything about Jinren's motives and the next route, so now we're going to explore, discover, and find him little by little!"
I don't know what my uncle did back then, why he didn't leave us any traces, didn't let us know, but I feel that everything he did made sense, and the source of all this, my uncle must have deliberately protected something.
I turned my head to look at Liu Yu, who was still resting, and asked, "But now that Liu Yu is in his condition, we can't let him drag his injured body." β
Uncle Quan pondered for a moment and said, "We have limited time, and this will also be a dangerous activity, if he can't get better within three days, he will ......."
Hearing him say this, I was anxious: "What? I stood up, feeling uncomfortable for a while, how to say that he was one of us, who had helped us, brothers who lived and died together, and said unconvinced: "Will you abandon him?" Just let him stay here by himself? β
Jun Juncai shook his head and said, "You be quiet, don't wake him up, it's not good if he hears it!" β
