Chapter 58: Traces

The indoor floor is not very clean, and there are even many places where a lot of dust has accumulated, and you can touch the dust in your hand when you stretch out your hand, but Qin Ke is a small person, but he is not very afraid of dirty, but persistently touches it, and from time to time he picks at the cracks of the floor with his fingers.

Suddenly, he looked at the old cigarette stick and fell into deep thought.

Jiu Ye is obviously a very simple person, it can be seen from the fact that there are not even any ornaments in his room, but there is still such a cigarette stick in such a simple person's room, thinking that this old cigarette stick must be the ninth master's favorite.

He walked over and gently grasped the cigarette stick, but his hand felt some viscous liquid.

When he opened his hand, he was startled, and his hand was retracted as if it had touched hot oil.

Lowering his head, his fingers were stained with crimson blood, which had gradually turned black, viscous as if it had been spilled before.

He probably touched this cigarette stick a while ago, but he didn't seem to bother to take it away because he was injured?

Qin Ke was thoughtful, with a little suspicion, he stretched out his hand and patted it on the table, stroked it back and forth, and finally pushed the table hard.

With the sound of "zizizi" rubbing came out, Qin Ke was happy in his heart, sure enough, this was a mechanism, as he exerted his hand again, the table that was completely connected to the ground moved slowly, and with the "bang" after the impact, Qin Ke turned his head, and at the edge of the plank bed, a hole no more than the size of a person was revealed, which was deep inside, like night.

With a slightly fluttering candle, Qin Ke cautiously jumped into the cave. Contrary to its appearance, the cave is actually not very deep, and it is only more than a person's height from the top to the bottom, and it is a little more spacious inside, but overall it is only a small space.

"It seems to be a cellar?" Qin Ke cleared his throat and was about to open his mouth: "Nine ......"

There was a wind that blew the fire candle in the candlestick in his hand, and it seemed that a cold light flashed away, and the fire candle was extinguished in an instant, and just when Qin Ke was still defenseless, a figure quickly and quickly bullied into his arms like a tiger!

Qin Ke's heart tightened, and the dagger on his waist was unsheathed, but after all, it was still a little late, and the cold light was far faster than he imagined, but in an instant, it had already reached his eyes.

Qin Ke's pupils shrank sharply, and between the qi and blood in his body, a huge amount of power erupted from his body!

As his body shook violently, the force extending from behind his waist collided with the chest of the man in his arms, and only a muffled snort of "uh-huh......" was heard, and the black shadow retreated, and the cold light also moved back a few inches with his retreat.

The dagger in Qin Ke's hand was finally raised, and with the flip of his wrist, the dagger's palm changed a direction, and then the cold light that stabbed forward again stabbed fiercely on the side of his dagger, and the power was so great that Qin Ke's hands were slightly numb.

"Wait!" Qin Ke opened his mouth to exhale.

However, the cold light did not give him a chance to speak, and as the power on his dagger lightened, the black shadow quietly retreated, but this retreat was only a short build-up for the next attack!

Qin Ke heard the sound of heavy breathing, and the sound of the black shadow taking a step on the cellar floor, although it was pitch black, his eyes were still wide open, and the dagger in his hand should not be slackened at all, at the moment when the cold light slashed down obliquely from top to bottom, the dagger in his hand and the cold light "clanged" with a "clang" sound, and then he stomped under his feet, and with this power, he in turn crashed into the arms of the black shadow!

In the chaos, Qin Ke heard the dull sound of the iron weapon falling to the ground, and he felt that he was pressing against the black shadow's abdomen, and the black shadow's strong arms pressed his shoulders fiercely and climbed up his neck, as if he wanted to forcibly break his neck in this way!

"Rebel thief!" the shadow roared lowly.

Qin Ke threw away the dagger in his hand, his hands tightly grasped the wrist that was tightly pressing his neck, and as his legs strained, he stood up suddenly. But even though his feet were on the ground, the dark shadow still clamped firmly around his neck, tugging at him so that he could not lift his waist.

But that's enough!

Qin Ke's legs seemed to be rooted in the earth, and with this posture, he also found the best position for his strength. As he bent his knees sharply, the power went from his shoulders to his outstretched palms, and his hands were like two thin knives, sharp at this moment.

The hand knife was naturally not meant to kill the heart of the black shadow, if that was the case, Qin Ke would not have to throw his dagger aside. His hand thrust forward, and his fingertips slid into his neck and the black shadow's iron pincer-like palm.

The power of the black shadow is very great, but after Qin Ke has gone through the initial panic, his blood is surging, and he will only be stronger than the black shadow. And as his hands exerted force outward, the black shadow's hands were slowly torn apart.

The black shadow gritted his teeth and held his breath, as if he had exhausted all his strength, the corners of his mouth made a sound of "Mmmm......mmmm

But Qin Ke's power that erupted again made him suddenly tear away the black shadow's hands, and he got out at once! When he stood up straight, he finally shouted: "Stop fighting!"

The black shadow did not pounce again, but it was not because he was frightened by Qin Ke's shout and turned into a little girl hiding in the corner and shivering. Violent wheezing sounded from the mouth of the black shadow, and each gasp was accompanied by a long, sawn wood-like sound.

He seemed to be wounded, and it was very bad, the violent attack had taken him so hard that he didn't even have the strength to get up from the ground.

Qin Ke was a little worried, reached out and took out the fire fold from his waist, and picked up the broken candlestick on the ground again, by the light of the fire, he saw clearly the black shadow covering his chest with a dull pain, he was just a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties, his long hair was messy, and his eyes were bright in the dark.

"Nine...... Master, right?" Qin Ke asked with some uncertainty.

"Kill me. The shadow didn't seem to have any strength to get up again, and his voice became hoarse from the sharp one it used to be, "I won't give you anything." ”

"Why should I kill you?" Qin Ke looked at the black shadow blankly, took a step forward, looked at the blood on his hands covering his chest, and exclaimed, "You...... It's bleeding!" he hurried over and removed the shadow's hand, the wound on his right chest, but the blood that had spilled had already bloomed a delicate red flower on the hem of his robe.

"Also...... OK...... On the left is the heart...... It's okay on the right...... It's okay on the right...... "Qin Ke is actually not very knowledgeable in medicine, but he also knows some truths, thinking of this, he pulled off his cuffs hard, folded them into a small piece, and pressed them the black shadow's chest.

"You're not one of theirs?" asked the shadow as he felt the pain in his chest, but he also felt his own blood slowly draining, and he gasped violently, hoarsely.

"Whose person?" Qin Ke couldn't understand, and reached out to find the jade bi in his arms and said, "Zhuge Wanling asked me to come to you." ”

The candle flame danced actively in the cellar, and the warm luster of the jade sparkled in the firelight. The black shadow was stunned, this was not the first time he had seen this piece of jade, but he didn't expect that this time he would see him again in such a place.

But he suddenly laughed: "It's just the right time!" Although he was pressed by Qin Ke on his chest, he still struggled restlessly, and did not listen to Qin Ke's persuasion of "don't move and you are bleeding", dragged his body to a corner of the cellar, his fingers were bent like hooks, and he quickly found a roll of bamboo slips wrapped in linen cloth from the loess.

"Take it!" "Take it!" the black shadow's voice suddenly rose up, "Take it to the oil shop on Lintang Street, and tell the shopkeeper that something happened to my ninth master, and he will understand." ”

Qin Ke took the bamboo slip almost without refusal, looked at the blood on his chest and continued to help hold his chest, and said, "What is this?"

"Account book...... "The ninth master grinned, "but it's not an ordinary account book, just such a volume can decide the life and death of many people." I wanted to send him out myself, but I couldn't seem to do it...... Fortunately, with you, you can definitely do it. ”
