Chapter 199: The Chamber of Secrets

The bottom of the well is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and there is a hole in the sky, and a thick stone door separates the waterway next to it.

In the center of the chamber is a table, three chairs, and two simple bamboo beds, neatly stacked with blankets, which appear to be a temporary resting place.

Luo Ling lit the wall lamp on the wall, and with the help of the dim candle flame, he turned another mechanism vigorously, and suddenly a fresh breeze passed by, and the air circulated.

Xiao Qianye looked at the place where he put his hand, there was a strange window, which was composed of special spiritual arts, and outside the window was a dark and damp sewer.

Luo Ling saw his doubts, knocked lightly on the window, and explained with a smile: "Although the sewer is next door, but this window was specially made by Gongsun Yan to find a warlock, and the air will become very clean after flowing from the spell, that guy always dislikes the bad air here, and he doesn't look at this is a place to escape and take refuge, and he doesn't come in to enjoy the blessings, where is the environment?"

Hearing this familiar name, Yun Xiao also looked over, Luo Ling looked at her, and then at Xiao Qianye, as if he realized that he had accidentally said the wrong thing, and hurriedly teased: "Gongsun Yan was originally from Wanyou City, and I have known each other since I was a child, and I have been doing business since I was a child, so it is inevitable that there will be some unsavory transactions, hehe, hehe......

Xiao Qianye is not surprised, Gongsun Yan is the master of the Mirror Pavilion, the four realms are black and white, and he is a person with eight faces, and Luo Ling controls several important business routes in the East Underworld, it is reasonable for the two of them to know each other, but he still feels a little uneasy, Gongsun Yan will raise the Shadow Butterfly, which means that once the whereabouts of himself and Yunxiao are known to him, it will soon reach Mingxi's ears.

He couldn't help but look at Yun Xiao, remembering some things that he had been doubting in his heart for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Mr. Luo, I heard that the Wind Demon has investigated the people around me after I came back, but I don't know what method you used after thinking about it, now that you are in the same boat, can Mr. tell me the truth?"

Luo Ling coughed, he didn't dare to say a word, obviously he didn't expect him to suddenly ask such a question at such a time, so he had to secretly annoy that he shouldn't mention Gongsun Yan casually, Xiao Qianye stared at him silently, and had already found the clue from the other party's embarrassing desire to speak, so he simply opened his mouth and said: "The only people who can contact me over the years are Mrs. Mingqi and her children, and it just so happens that Miss Ye is Gongsun Yan's fiancΓ©e, you shouldn't have done anything to Miss Ye, right?"

Hearing this, Yun Xiao was silent and remembered Ye Xue's strange narcolepsy, she returned to Xiao Qianye's side vigilantly, Luo Ling kept a slight smile, and her heart was crying bitterly.

Miss Ye's illness was caused by Gongsun Yan's own hands, and the special Tu Xuan aromatherapy also came from the depths of the forbidden land of the East Underworld, and he took advantage of Miss Ye's sleepiness to use a unique Wraith Soul Technique to directly extract memories from her brain, which simply and rudely obtained all the information of Xiao Qianye far away in Kunlun.

Luo Ling cautiously glanced at the two of them, knowing that this kind of thing could not be said directly, so he had to calmly play the side ball and think quickly about his words: "It is indeed from the Ye family, but I haven't investigated anything particularly important, such as Miss Yun's life experience, but I can't find it at all." ”

As he spoke, he deliberately diverted the topic, and sure enough, seeing Yun Xiao raising his eyes curiously to look at him, Luo Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said while the iron was hot: "Not only Miss Yun, but even your mother-in-law Yun Qiushui can't find any information at all......"

"My mother?" Yun Xiao was really attracted by his words, thought about it seriously, and muttered, "My mother herself doesn't know where she is from, where she was born, and there is no one else in the family, she told me that she has been in Kunlun since she can remember." ”

"Oh...... Uh-huh. Luo Ling hurriedly answered, for fear that she would mention Miss Ye again after a while, "I have always had dealings with some caravans in the Central Plains, the Central Plains has a vast land and vast resources, but there are not many people with the surname Yun, and I have met two families in Chang'an and Suzhou, but after inquiring from the side, I found that there are no women of Yun Qiushui's age, and in the end, I have no choice but to do it." ”

"Yes. Yun Xiao lowered her head, still looking a little disappointed, and said softly, "Although the current Central Plains is still a country and a people's peace, but there were often wars in the past, my mother seems to have been picked up by Shizun in the war, she was still very young at that time, and she doesn't remember more things." ”

Luo Ling was silent for a while, and blurted out comfort: "I heard that Kunlun does have a tradition of relieving the common people, saving young children in the war, but it is like their faction's style. ”

Yun Xiao smiled and pouted, suddenly gently rubbed Xiao Qianye's hair, leaned over and hugged him from behind, and quickly swept away the previous loss: "I don't care about this, my mother has never gone to find relatives herself, and now we all have the most important person." ”

Luo Ling smiled and said nothing, and was also infected by the clear smile on her face for a while: "Miss Yun can see it, such a temperament is really enviable, no wonder Pavilion Master Xiao will be tempted by you." "Beautiful book

"Really?" Yun Xiao secretly covered her mouth and deliberately teased, "Is Pavilion Master Xiao really tempted by me?"

"Don't make a fuss. Xiao Qianye was helpless, so he had to change his serious tone, pressed her hand on his head, and frowned slightly, he knew that Luo Ling was deliberately bypassing the most critical core question, but it was not easy to ask too directly.

This matter must be inseparable from Gongsun Yan, and judging from his current understanding of the Wind Demon, Gongsun Yan is undoubtedly the most complicated and tricky person.

Feeling that the atmosphere had slowed down slightly, Luo Ling breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the corner of the secret room, took out a map from the cabinet and spread it out, motioned for the two of them to come and look, he pointed to one of the places marked with red marks and said: "This is the waterway map of Wanyou City, the stagnant water in the city will flow down the waterway into several large rivers in the East Underworld, this is where we are now, this road will go all the way to the vicinity of the Crescent Spring, and then there is the Holy Land of Emptiness, you should be able to understand it, right?"

Xiao Qianye nodded, his eyes quickly browsed in the direction of his finger, he was very familiar with the terrain of Feiyuan, not only the mountains in the East Ming are intricate, but also the water system is also very numerous, Xiaoxiang River, Crescent Spring, Lishui three main waterways convergence, forming the largest inland lake in the whole territory - Wudi Lake, Wudi Lake across the two forbidden places "Empty Holy Land" and "Forbidden Valley", is one of the few gathering places for foreign people in Feiyuan.

"You can sneak out of the city from the underground waterway, but ......" Luo Ling sold a pass, deliberately coughed a few times, scratched his head and smiled, "But the waterway is very dirty, the smell is not good, and there are many small animals that live dormant in it, such as mice, frogs, and some fish that I can't name." ”

"Is it on the other side of this wall?" Yun Xiao lightly knocked on the wall of the secret room, put her ear to listen carefully to the sound of the water, Luo Ling nodded, and took out a key from his arms and handed it to her, pointing to the innermost door of the secret room, "Go out from here, keep following the map, the exit is near the Crescent Spring, let's rest here for the night first, and when I go out, I will arrange for the other people of the Wind Demon to pick you up there." ”

"Pick us up?" Xiao Qianye looked at him vigilantly and refused, "No need, I am very familiar with the road of the East Underworld, so I don't bother with the wind demon." ”

"Uh......" Luo Ling blinked awkwardly, but he still had a smile on his face, so he simply moved his gaze to Yun Xiao, decisively stopped continuing the topic, and said, "This secret room was originally built under the well, and when the lid is lifted over there, it will be clean well water, I think Miss Yun should know some magic, you can heat the well water by yourself and wipe your body first, I also took back the clothes you threw on those two guys, and I will send it to you later, the two of you will rest first, I will keep an eye on the situation outside." ”

Yun Xiao walked to the mouth of the well, and could touch the clean well water with just a little probing hand, and hurriedly washed her face with both hands.

Luo Ling smiled unexpectedly, turned his head and met Xiao Qianye's unhappy gaze again, he waved his sleeves and persuaded in a low voice: "Pavilion Master Xiao himself is young and vigorous, so he should also consider girls." ”

Hearing him say this, Xiao Qianye had to turn his head and sit down, Luo Ling was amused in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it too obviously, he paced back to the gear mechanism, suddenly remembered something, turned his head and asked: "I'll come back later, the two of you have a good rest here first, it happens to be the New Year, do you need me to bring some other pastries?" I remember that the Central Plains people always like to eat dumplings and rice cakes every New Year, but Feiyuan is not very particular about these things, and it may not be authentic. ”

"Is it already the New Year?" Yun Xiao jumped up and said unexpectedly, "But I can't see the New Year at all in the city." ”

"Feiyuan is just this kind of festival...... Luo Ling's eyes showed a faint smile, a little envious, "The most important festival in Feiyuan is the Twin Gods Festival, which has to be measured by the Star Palace, and the time is not fixed every year, but it is not as lively as the New Year in the Central Plains." ”

Yun Xiao looked at Xiao Qianye and found that he was also smiling carelessly, most of Kunlun's disciples worshipped the disciples when they were young, perhaps because they were isolated from the world since childhood, in fact, they were not particularly interested in the various festivals under the mountain, but as they grew older, when they reached the age when they could go down the mountain for trials, they were often extremely curious, and when these disciples came back, they would be affected by this, pasting red couplets on their doors, and even hanging lanterns and sticking paper cuts.

Although Xiao Qianye had been practicing in Kunlun for ten years, he had already returned to Feiyuan in a hurry when he was old enough to go down the mountain for trials, and his mother had never cared about this, and they actually didn't have a decent New Year like ordinary people.

Yun Xiao sat down opposite him with her chin propped up, poked his cheek, turned her head and smiled at Luo Ling: "Then please trouble Mr. to plate dumplings." ”

"Heh......" Luo Ling laughed silently, stood up straight, and bowed slightly to her politely, like a very cultivated nobleman, "Then please ask Childe and Miss to stay for a while." ”

Yun Xiao laughed, but felt that the guy in front of him, who was originally a shrewd businessman, suddenly became amiable.
