Under the crack seemed to be a long, steep, and narrow dark passage, Mu Xize and Ye Ningxiang slid down the dark passage, and finally stopped in a small and dark place. This seems to be the end of the tunnel, deep underground.

Then, due to the violent tremors, countless rubble slid down the secret passage, sealing the exit connecting the secret passage to the secret room. There were also a few smaller gravels that smashed towards them from top to bottom, Mu Xize tightly protected Ye Ningxiang under him, and his back stiffly carried the impact of this gravel, so that Ye Ningxiang was not harmed.

After a while, the tremors stopped, and the position of the two of them became more cramped and crowded due to the accumulation of rubble, and they could not walk, or even stand.

At this time, the wooden torture frame that bound Ye Ningxiang had been broken, but the iron chains on Ye Ningxiang's body had not been untied, her arms were still open, and her hands had also been marked with blood because they had collided with the stone wall when they slid down.

Mu Xize gently touched the iron chain on Ye Ningxiang's body, and it took a lot of effort to find the location of the lock, then pulled out the hairpin that tied his hair, and stretched it out towards the lock cylinder very skillfully, and after a while, the lock of the iron chain was opened by Mu Xize. Then Ye Ningxiang completely lost the support of the torture rack and almost fainted and fell into Mu Xize's arms.

Mu Xize shook Ye Ningxiang's body slightly, and kept calling Ye Ningxiang's name in his mouth, but Ye Ningxiang could only respond by increasing the sound of breathing.

Then Mu Xize's hand touched Ye Ningxiang's cheek, and it naturally roamed on Ye Ningxiang's face, Ye Ningxiang was very uncomfortable by Mu Xize's move, her eyebrows were tightly locked, and it took a lot of effort to speak, "What are you doing?"

Mu Xize didn't answer, and after his finger touched the corner of Ye Ningxiang's mouth, he kissed Ye Ningxiang's lips quickly and accurately without warning.

Ye Ningxiang was stunned by Mu Xize's sudden move, her already vague consciousness instantly woke up, her eyes were wide open, and her hands were desperately beating Mu Xize's chest, trying to break free from his kiss.

Unexpectedly, Ye Ningxiang could clearly see the Gu worms that were originally in her body, but they quickly crawled into Mu Xize's body at this moment, and those insects that were supposed to be transparent all over their bodies had become a little red because they had absorbed Ye Ningxiang's essence.

Realizing that Mu Xize deliberately lured the Gu worm to him, Ye Ningxiang resisted even more fiercely, and finally after pushing Mu Xize with all her might, she broke away from Mu Xize's kiss, and she herself fell heavily to the ground.

But those Gu insects were like being infected, even if Ye Ningxiang had broken free from Mu Xize's kiss, they still crawled into Mu Xize's body quickly, and it felt as if Mu Xize's body was thousands of times more delicious than Ye Ningxiang.

Seeing such a situation, Ye Ningxiang couldn't control her emotions, tears fell from her eyes unconsciously, and her voice was also full of heavy crying, "Why do you want to do this, you will die!"

Mu Xize smiled faintly, gently stroked Ye Ningxiang's shoulder, and said, "You're worried about me, you're afraid that I'll die, right?"

Being asked by Mu Xize like this, Ye Ningxiang's heart trembled suddenly, it turned out that she was subconsciously afraid that Mu Xize would die, so she actually said such a thing in a hurry.

She had already killed Mu Xize tens of thousands of times in her heart, but when Mu Xize went to Huangquan after suffering from great pain in order to save her, Ye Ningxiang actually felt very heartbroken, I don't know if she didn't want to accept Mu Xize's favor or still have feelings for Mu Xize in her heart, at this moment Ye Ningxiang really had only one thought in her heart, she didn't want Mu Xize to die.

Seeing that Ye Ningxiang didn't speak, the smile on his face became stronger, and he continued to get closer to Ye Ningxiang, and then gently put his right arm around Ye Ningxiang's neck from the side and took her into his arms very gently.

"You don't have to worry, I'll be fine, those Gu worms like the smell of me, but they can't kill me. Mu Xize said with a smile.

Ye Ningxiang felt that Mu Xize deliberately made up lies to deceive herself in order to make herself feel relieved, so she got up, opened her eyes wide, and asked very seriously, "Is it true?"

Mu Xize smiled a little helplessly and said, "I have been friends with Ji Beiyuan for nearly twenty years, and I have also learned some techniques from him in dealing with witchcraft. I really won't die because of this. ”

Ye Ningxiang felt that Mu Xize was very sincere in what he said, and he should not be lying to himself, so his heart hanging in mid-air slowly fell to the ground.

Probably suffering from the Gu worm for half a day, Ye Ningxiang's body was so weak that she couldn't even sit still, and finally gave up resistance and lay down obediently in Mu Xize's arms.

And Mu Xize seemed to be overjoyed because Ye Ningxiang was lying in his arms, and while his body kept leaning towards Ye Ningxiang, his hand was still very dishonestly either touching Ye Ningxiang's cheek or touching Ye Ningxiang's shoulder.

"Why do I think you're so satisfied with your current situation?" Ye Ningxiang asked a little angrily because of Mu Xize's behavior.

Mu Xize really smiled happily again, his joy overflowing, "You know how happy I was when I found you!"

"I'm going to die, why do you want to jump into it when you know it's a trap? Now we're trapped in the depths of the ground, and we're going to suffocate sooner or later. Why are you doing this?" Ye Ningxiang asked in confusion, but her voice was a little weaker than before.

Mu Xize first held Ye Ningxiang's hand, and then replied very solemnly: "Xiao Yezi, you listen well, if you are born, I will live, and if you die, I will die." I will live and die with you. ”

Hearing this, Ye Ningxiang couldn't help but think of the tragic death of her relatives and the letter of resignation written by Mu Xize himself, and couldn't help but sneer, not wanting to talk to Mu Xize anymore.

Winter nights are already cold, and it's even colder in the depths of the earth. Because he had been tortured by Gu worms for most of the day, and was in such a cold situation, Ye Ningxiang's body couldn't help but tremble. Coupled with the thin underground air, Ye Ningxiang felt dizzy, and her breathing was not smooth, and she was almost about to faint.

In a hazy mood, Ye Ningxiang felt as if several layers of clothes had been draped over her, and the body she was leaning on was warm and slippery, as if it lacked the cover of clothes.

"Little Yezi, wake up, don't sleep!" Mu Xize noticed Ye Ningxiang's strange appearance, and while calling Ye Ningxiang, he tightly covered Ye Ningxiang's body with the clothes he had taken off.

Xu heard Mu Xize's call, Ye Ningxiang opened her eyes weakly, and then got up slightly from Mu Xize's arms with great difficulty, and said with a smile: "Xize, I can't hold on anymore, you don't have to treat me like this, if you continue like this, you will freeze to death." After speaking, Ye Ningxiang raised her hand with difficulty to remove the clothes covering her.

Mu Xize grabbed Ye Ningxiang's arm with his hand, and said very gently: "Xiao Yezi, I'm fine, and you'll be fine." So, can I tell you a story?"

"Okay, then you can say it!" Ye Ningxiang stopped resisting and let go of the hand that was clutching her clothes.

Somehow, when it came time to die, Ye Ningxiang didn't have much hatred for Mu Xize, leaning on Mu Xize's side like this made Ye Ningxiang feel very down-to-earth and warm, and she didn't even want to leave.

If she really passed out, would she have a chance to see Mu Xize again in this life? Was she already separated from him forever at that time? Thinking of this, Ye Ningxiang didn't want to lose consciousness like this, maybe deep in her heart, she couldn't give up this man who was determined to have a grudge against her.

"Shall I tell you the story of Qin Dabao first?" Mu Xize hugged Ye Ningxiang tighter, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly to reveal a shallow smile.

Ye Ningxiang was originally very curious about the relationship between Qin Xiao and Qin Dabao, so her interest was mobilized by Mu Xize, and her spirit seemed to be much better.

Qin Xiao was originally a child of an ordinary peasant family, but later because of the famine, his family starved to death, and he was also exiled. After that, he specialized in stealing chickens and dogs, until he was seven years old, when he stole things and stole them to his master, and was taught a good lesson by the master. Then he followed the master with a dead face, and he had to follow the master. ”

"Master, do you still have a master?" Ye Ningxiang asked with great difficulty.

"Well, his name is Qin Mingyue, and he used to be the general of Zhenguo who left the country, and most of my skills were learned from him. Qin Xiao is his adopted son. ”

Then Mu Xize smiled again and said, "Are you very curious why Qin Xiao is called Dabao again?"

Ye Ningxiang nodded weakly and said, "Well, I think it's quite strange." ”

"Qin Xiao wandered outside when he was young, I only remember that his family always called him Dabao, but I don't remember his name, when I first met him, he was still called Qin Dabao, but I probably thought that he could be regarded as a martial arts knight, such a name sounded a little funny, so he gave himself a name that sounded very good. ”

"It seems that you and Qin Xiao are really good brothers, and you actually know many of his secret things. Ye Ningxiang said with a smile.

"I still have a lot of things I saw and heard when I traveled to the rivers and lakes back then, do you want to hear them?"

"If you want to speak, I'll listen. Ye Ningxiang leaned into Mu Xize's arms, put her body into the most comfortable position, and said very relaxedly.

But just as Mu Xize was about to tell the story, a snake crawled silently out of nowhere, the snake's body was black and shiny, and it kept spitting letters in its mouth.

Although there was no light in this small space, Ye Ningxiang still felt something hissing from her mouth, and then rushed towards her without warning.

Ye Ningxiang closed her eyes tightly and screamed in horror, and then she felt that Mu Xize had completely protected herself very quickly, and the thing did not pounce on Ye Ningxiang.

After the exclamation, Ye Ningxiang faintly heard Mu Xize also make a very faint sound, which seemed to be made because of a moment of pain.

"What's wrong?" Ye Ningxiang asked pretending to be puzzled.

"It's okay, I just want to hold you tighter. Mu Xize's words were very calm, and then he kissed Ye Ningxiang's forehead very affectionately.

Although it was pitch black, Ye Ningxiang was not deaf, and the hissing sound was clearly a poisonous snake spitting out letters, but Mu Xize was lying to her.

Listening to Mu Xize's words, Ye Ningxiang couldn't hold back his tears anymore, shouldn't he be cold-blooded and ruthless, with a heart like a snake and scorpion? Why did he risk his own life to break into the secret room to rescue himself, suck out the Gu worms for himself, and block the attack of the poisonous snake for himself at this moment?

"You lied to me, it is clear that you blocked the attack of the poisonous snake for me. ”

"Alright, alright, don't cry, my body is more poisonous than a poisonous snake, I'll be fine. Mu Xize put his head to Ye Ningxiang's ear, smiled and comforted Ye Ningxiang, but his voice was much weaker than before.

"Really, you didn't lie to me?"

"Hmm. ”

At this time, several poisonous snakes gathered around them, and Mu Xize protected Ye Ningxiang more tightly, for fear that she would be touched by poisonous snakes. But what is very amazing is that after the first snake bit Mu Xize, the rest of the snakes never dared to step forward, but just surrounded them, and spit out letters from time to time.

After that, although Mu Xize was much weaker than before, he did not faint or lose consciousness because of the snake venom, nor did he feel unbearable pain all over his body because of the Gu worm, which made Ye Ningxiang somewhat believe that what Mu Xize said to him was true.

For the next night, Mu Xize was telling stories to Ye Ningxiang, and Ye Ningxiang gradually recovered because of the Gu worm's physical strength.
