"Gunpowder was buried around the shrine?!"

Bai Qiurui opened her mouth in disbelief, and her understanding of Meng Beihe in her heart rose to the level of an alternative person.

What kind of tiger and wolf words are these?!

Gunpowder was buried around the Ziyang Temple, and at that time, the emperor would lead the civil and military officials of the court, and even the queen of the middle palace and the princes and relatives.

If this blows up directly, it is equivalent to destroying the entire royal family.

Good guy, the idea of this Ministry of Rites is really punishing!

No wonder Shen Yuan tried his best to stop him at that time, if he really let him do it, it would be better to say that he would be defeated.

If this happens, there will be chaos in the world.

Bai Qiurui just listened, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, which was properly blackened.

"He must be stopped."

Bai Qiurui looked at Shen Yuan's complicated face, and immediately responded.

After a brief pause, the two continued towards the only passage in the underground cave.

It wasn't until I walked for a while that the rock walls of the cave gradually became smooth and rounded.

In addition, compared to the previous ones, there are many more chaotic dark red stains on the rock wall, which look like some liquid has been sprinkled on it and has dried up over the years.

What Bai Qiurui noticed the most was that there was an oil lamp holder on the rock wall of the passage in front of her.

With ready-made lighting objects, Shen Yuan naturally didn't have to hold the fire fold all the time, he stretched out his hand and lit the oil lamp, and the dark passage suddenly lit up.

A few lamps were ordered on the left and right rock walls, and Shen Yuan took one in his hand.

He also noticed the brown stains on the rock wall, and took a closer look at it for a moment with an oil lamp.

With a large amount of light, the uneasiness in Bai Qiurui's heart subsided a lot.

Seeing Shen Yuan suddenly get up after looking at the imprints on the rock wall, Bai Qiurui was a little curious.

"What's wrong?"

Shen Yuan's face became a little ugly, and he stretched out his hand to point to the brown marks on the rock wall: "These are all blood stains. ”

Such a terrifying word came out of his mouth like this, and Bai Qiurui's heart jumped.

She only felt hairy in her heart, and looked left and right at the rock walls on both sides, dumbfounded.

The more this entire passage stretches inside, the heavier and more blood stains on the rock wall.

Then, before Bai Qiurui could finish her astonishment, Shen Yuan spoke again.

"Some of these bloodstains are old, some are very new, and the latest bloodstains were left seven days ago."

Bai Qiurui: "......"

I know you're very strong, but, Lord Shen, can you not say it so seriously and lightly.

"Seven days ago, didn't that mean there were other people here?"

Bai Qiurui looked at the passage that meandered to an unknown place, and always felt that the more she walked inside, the more unpredictable dangers she would encounter.

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Shen Yuan speak: "In seven days, if that person is still in this passage, I am afraid that there will be less luck." ”

Bai Qiurui was silent, Shen Yuan's words were right, staying in this passage without food and water for seven days, he was still an injured person, but he was afraid that it was unlikely that he would survive until now.

Then, a new question appeared in her mind: "There are so many blood stains on these rock faces, how can there be so many people here?" ”

Shen Yuan took Bai Qiurui and continued to move forward after seeing the blood stains on the rock wall, he glanced at the little woman beside him, thought for a moment and replied.

"Maybe, it doesn't have to be people."

With this cold sentence, Bai Qiurui felt that the back of her neck was a little cold, and her hairs stood up.

She didn't think about it, and said casually: "It's not a person, is it still a living corpse?" ”

Before the words fell, she and Shen Yuan's footsteps paused at the same time.

Bai Qiurui's casual words, the end of her last word was still stuck in her throat, but her mind was cold and matched her words.

Swallowing her saliva silently, Bai Qiurui looked at Shen Yuan with a shrunken face: "I said it casually......"

Shen Yuan didn't say anything, just clenched the oil lamp tightly in his palm.

Seeing this, Bai Qiurui suddenly remembered that he had been drugged, and hurriedly asked, "Is the drug you were addicted to now?" ”

Shen Yuan bowed his head, and his dark eyes revealed a touch of incomprehensible emotion.

"I obviously didn't drink that cup of tea, but I still unknowingly fell into the drug."

In the case of drug in ancient times, Bai Qiurui in her previous life had seen various methods in the novel.

She thought for a moment, and then said, "Maybe the medicine is on the mouth of the cup, and it can be used if it touches the skin." ”

Regarding Bai Qiurui's statement, Shen Yuan glanced at her with some surprise.

"You're right, it's me who didn't think about it."

Seeing the man's expression, Bai Qiurui probably guessed Shen Yuan's thoughts.

Probably he didn't expect him to have such an idea, and nine times out of ten he was curious, how could she, a little woman raised in the boudoir, have this kind of thought.

Bai Qiurui smiled slyly, her clear and translucent eyes were shining, and she had no intention of explaining.

Then, she remembered Meng Beihe's incident and opened her mouth with some hesitation.

"Will you report the matter of Meng Beihe to the emperor together?"

Meng Beihe's identity was too surprising, and he wanted to know Shen Yuan's plans.

In the private room, they all heard Meng Beihe's words, he was the little son of Meng Changan, the commander of the Blue Dragon Army.

The Qinglong Army of that year was framed by King Ning and the Marquis of Zhenbei, and it no longer exists. The first to bear the brunt is the coach Meng Changan's family, who are full of beheadings and are unjust.

Now, Meng Changan's little son has become a fish that slipped through the net by mistake, and what should Shen Yuan do?

Bai Qiurui felt that he would not report these things to the emperor categorically.

After all, the current evidence has determined that King Ning and the Marquis of Zhenbei are the masterminds behind the scenes.

And if Shen Yuan wanted to hide this matter, Bai Qiurui felt that he could, but Meng Beihe might not be able to.

Just looking at his words in the private room, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get him to stop.

Moreover, for Shen Yuan, who had been tracking him down, Meng Beihe did not kill him.

He just made Shen Yuan incapacitated, did not hinder his plans, and did not want his life.

Adding up to this, Bai Qiurui felt that Meng Beihe was not a heinous person.

In the end, he just wanted to avenge his father and brother and clear the grievances of the Qinglong Army.

If it was a different place, Bai Qiurui felt that she might do the same herself.

After all, who can really let go of the revenge of killing their father and destroying their family?

Shen Yuan was also thinking about this question, he didn't answer Bai Qiurui for the first time, but pondered for a long time.

Bai Qiurui looked at Shen Yuan's side face and pursed her lips: "I don't think you will make his identity public." ”

Shen Yuan looked at the little woman beside him, but still didn't answer.

After a long time, he spoke: "Why do you think so?" ”

The little woman crossed her fingers and counted them as she went.

"First, all he did was to avenge his wrongdoing. Second, he knew that you were tracking him, but when he had a chance to be against you, he just chose to let you lose your strength and not hinder him, instead of directly asking for your life......"

"Ho ho ...... Ho ......"

Before Bai Qiurui's words were finished, the passage ahead had already turned into a wide cave.

And she and Shen Yuan heard a strange sound at the same time.

Under the reflection of the orange-yellow oil light line, opposite the cave where Bai Qiurui and Shen Yuan were standing, there were about four or five cave entrances of the same size, and the cave they stood in was more like a gathering hall.

At this moment, in every cave opposite the "hall", there began to be a faint shadow shaking, and the number became more and more dense.

Bai Qiurui felt her scalp tingle at this moment, she looked closely, and found that those shadows were getting closer and closer to their hall, and the shadows at each cave entrance were gradually increasing, and they were getting closer and closer.

"This ...... What are they? ”

Bai Qiurui, who had never experienced underground exploration, had no love, and she originally thought that she had experienced the secret passage of the mountain behind Nanyue Temple, and her mental quality would be greatly enhanced.

Besides, she didn't look forward to her secret passage every day, and she didn't know why she was so close to the secret passage, she just left the secret passage of Nanyue Temple, and fell into the cave of Ziyang Temple in a blink of an eye.

And now, the little pressure in her heart that she had managed to strengthen instantly came to naught after a rotting stump sticking out of the second cave opposite.

Bai Qiurui exclaimed, then realized that something was wrong, and quickly covered her mouth.

She stared at her frightened eyes, and at the same time felt Shen Yuan beside her gasp.

Almost in a flash of light, Shen Yuan said categorically: "It's a living corpse, run!" ”

Before he could finish speaking, the stump that was pulled at the mouth of the passage slowly revealed the rest of it.

It was a strange man who was unrecognizable, and even his body had begun to decay!

The swollen face, with dirty white cloth wrapped around the face on the head, covered a lot of a face, and it was impossible to see the original appearance.

The man was wearing tattered clothes that could no longer be seen, and his bare legs and a pair of arms were already covered with scars, most of which were festering, and it was terrifying to watch.

The most frightening thing is his eyes, scarlet and bloodthirsty, as if they will bleed in the next second.

Seeing this "person" who suddenly emerged from the opposite cave, Bai Qiurui was already dumbfounded, the first time she encountered this kind of thing that was not human, ghost or ghost, her brain had stopped thinking.

She was stunned for a moment, and what was even more terrifying was that the strange man who was the first to emerge had already discovered Bai Qiurui.

The other party's blood-red eyes 'purred' and a scream came out of his mouth.

Immediately afterwards, Bai Qiurui saw his legs bounce up on the ground, and his body instantly took off, like a monkey climbing a tree branch and swinging a rope and leaping, flying straight towards her.

Bai Qiurui couldn't react, her eyes looked straight at the "person" flying towards her.

In this short moment, it seemed to have been slowed down countless times, and she could even see that the "person" opened its mouth, and a disgusting fishy smell was already wafting out of its mouth.

However, this terrifying picture was not effectively continued, in the world that Bai Qiurui thought had passed a century, Shen Yuan only passed a few seconds.

Bai Qiurui only felt that her wrist was tight, and then the whole person was dragged away by a huge force.

Shen Yuan took the lead in grabbing Bai Qiurui, who was equivalent to being scared stupidly, and ran through the passage without looking back.

Bai Qiurui never felt that she would run so fast one day, she almost did it to the point that her feet did not touch the ground, and as soon as she lifted one foot, the other one was already taken up by Shen Yuan with a stride.

And because of her own delicate body, the strength in Shen Yuan's hand was terrifying, and dragging Bai Qiurui was as easy as catching a rabbit casually.

"Is that a living corpse?"

Bai Qiurui was forced to run wildly while speaking.

Running at a rapid pace, she felt that her words were drowned in the wind.

Shen Yuan ran away with the little woman like a chicken, and even took the time to reply to her with a 'um' during the period.

Next, the two didn't run for long, and Bai Qiurui heard an unusual noise in the passage behind her.

The sound was "creaking", as if someone was chewing something, and if you listened closely, there were other noises in the sound.

In addition to the sound of chewing something like teeth, it was also like the sound of nails scraping against the rock wall.

Bai Qiurui was pulled by Shen Yuan, and she couldn't help but turn her head to look behind her after hearing the voice.

Between the flickering lights and shadows, a dark shadow was following them persistently, and it was constantly closing the distance.

This thing is too fast!

There was only one way to come, and now even if I go back, I can't avoid this thing.

But if you don't leave, you will die in the same place.

What now?

Bai Qiurui struggled to keep up with Shen Yuan's pace, and during this period of rapid running, she already felt a hot pain in her lungs.

Seeing that he was about to run out of the section of the passage that was covered in blood all around, the rock wall in front of him began to become uneven.

Bai Qiurui couldn't help but feel anxious in her heart, and while enduring the huge pain in her body, she was secretly anxious.

Run any further, and it's time to run back to where they fell.

It's a dead end, and there's no life to speak of.

Bai Qiurui was now eager to directly break Meng Beihe's body into pieces, and she began to regret what she had just said.

Don't want to hurt Shen Yuan's life yet?

In this case, I'm afraid it's too cheap to kill them directly.

So just let them fall into the secret passage, and then let these living corpses who are not ghosts or ghosts solve them?

The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, Bai Qiurui had been taken by Shen Yuan and completely separated from the bloodstained passage.

When they came, this section of the road was only lit by Shen Yuan's fire fold, and now they ran back with an oil lamp in their hands.

Seeing that the light in the cave was much more abundant than before, the places that had not been carefully observed before completely fell into their eyes.

At this time, Shen Yuan, who was running at the forefront, suddenly 'Huh? With a sigh, Bai Qiurui didn't have time to see the specific situation clearly, but felt that the direction of her whole person suddenly deviated.

Shen Yuan led her to a stop in a narrow rock wall gap, and the gap in front of her could only accommodate a person who was very cramped to squeeze into.

It was because they didn't have an oil lamp when they came, so they didn't find such a hidden gap, but now they really came in time.

Shen Yuan immediately decided: "Hide in first." ”

The 'creaking' sound of the living corpse behind him was getting closer and closer, and Bai Qiurui turned her head to see the black shadow rushing towards them at a rapid speed.

She didn't hesitate anymore and immediately got into the gap.
