Chapter 144: To each his own mind
The sound of shuttles approached quickly, but it was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.
Thinking of what happened in the silver treasury before, Yuan Shidie raised her heart to her throat.
If she encountered that strange wind in such a small space, she didn't have the confidence to avoid it smoothly.
At this moment, only a crisp sound was heard, and a firelight ignited in Jingfa's hand.
"There is a tinder, why didn't you take it out earlier!" Seeing the tinder in Jingfa's hand flickering with active light, Yuan Shidie looked angry.
"That's all I have left, so of course I have to save some money. After Jing Fa finished speaking, he cautiously walked in the direction from which the voice came.
But the moment the firelight appeared, the sound of the shuttle stopped, and Jingfa was so frightened that he also stopped and stopped.
Yuan Shidie snatched the tinder from Jingfa's hand, aimed at the front and threw it hard.
"Hey, what are you doing!" The flame will be extinguished after the fire hits the ground, and then it will be difficult to light it again, so seeing Yuan Shidie throwing the fire so impulsively, Jing Fa was so angry that he screamed.
The fire flew in the air, constantly illuminating the scene in the passage, and at this time, the two of them clearly saw that the source of the sound of the shuttle was only a gray mouse.
Wasting precious fire for the sake of a rat is something that no one can restrain from putting on him.
Before the word "he ......" grandpa burst out of Jingfa's mouth, I saw Yuan Shidie's long sword wave, and a lot of flowers appeared in the air under the torch, holding the torch and falling back into her hand steadily.
Seeing this scene, Jing Fa swallowed the words that came to his mouth and swallowed them back into his stomach.
"Since there are rats, it means that there is a way out, let's go. Yuan Shidie didn't pay attention to the change in Jingfa's expression, picked up the fire, and took the lead to walk forward.
The passage was so low that both of them could only move forward on their waists, and it was because of this that they could see the scene clearly under their feet.
didn't take a few steps, Yuan Shidie suddenly stopped, causing Jing Fa to almost hit her by inertia, when she saw a sharp sword tip appear an inch in front of her, and Jing Fa was so frightened that she hurriedly stopped her figure.
Yuan Shidie squatted down and looked carefully at the ground.
Crossing the other party's shoulder, Jing Fa saw that there seemed to be some dark red dots on the ground, but it looked like it had been some time, and he would never find it if he didn't look closely.
Yuan Shidie reached out and touched the dots, and then shone the fire forward, and found that this dark and red dot would appear on the ground at a distance.
She quickened her pace and followed the dots, and slowly, the distance between the dots on the ground became shorter and shorter.
After walking for a while, Yuan Shidie stopped.
Although the passage in front of her was still extending, Yuan Shidie didn't seem to have any idea of continuing to walk, she stood in place, stretched out her hand and groped for the surrounding stone walls.
Jingfa saw a large pool of dark red dots on the ground at the feet of Yuan Shidie.
Along the way just now, Jing Fa had already suspected in his heart that those dark red dots might be the blood flowing from someone's body, and now he finally confirmed this idea.
Once upon a time, a man was wounded, entered this secret passage, walked all the way, and finally stopped here.
Did he die here?
Impossible, because there were no bones around.
Since he wasn't dead, he should have escaped, and the exit must be nearby.
Of course, Yuan Shidie had already thought of this, so she stopped here and carefully looked for possible mechanisms on the stone wall.
At this time, Jingfa remembered the purpose of Yin Tiancheng's sending him.
Three years ago, it was the former residence of He Wenyuan, the former head of the household department, and one night there was a bloody massacre here, and it is said that 48 people from the He Mansion died in that massacre. Recently, I heard that one of them may have survived, and that person is He Wenyuan's son He Zhichu.
And the reason why Jingfa racked his brains to enter the silver vault was precisely because this silver vault was He Zhichu's room at that time, and it was also the room where He Zhichu's stand-in body was found.
Therefore, if He Zhichu is not dead, then the clue is likely to exist in this room.
And coincidentally, there was a secret passage hidden under this room, and blood stains were found in the secret passage, all kinds of signs showed that Yin Tiancheng's guess was correct, He Zhichu really escaped.
As for where He Zhichu went, and why he evaporated like the world in the next three years, there was no news at all, these questions had to be left until Jingfa found the exit where He Zhichu went out before he had a chance to think about it.
The meal had to be eaten bite by bite, and the task had to be completed step by step, Jing Fa knew that this mission was very difficult and complicated, but as soon as he thought of the rich task reward and the mysterious yellow-robed man, his heart was inexplicably excited, so he also began to help Yuan Shidie find it on the surrounding stone walls.
Yuan Shidie didn't know what Jingfa was looking for, and she didn't think that Jingfa knew what happened to this bank three years ago.
In fact, Yuan Shidie's purpose in coming to the silver vault is exactly the same as Jingfa, and it is also to find clues to He Zhichu, who may not be dead.
But this task was not given to her by Your Excellency Wuyan, but by one person, Liang Bo, Bai Liying's junior brother.
Before Bai Liying asked Yuan Shidie to follow Li Cheng'an to Luoyang, Liang Bo found her and told her a story, a story about the tragedy of Hefu three years ago, and hoped that she would take the opportunity to go to Luoyang to carefully investigate He Zhichu's whereabouts, and told her that this was a secret mission and should not be revealed to anyone.
Liang Bo is the second only person in the Boundless Pavilion after Bailiying, no one dares to listen to the task he ordered, and Yuan Shidie left Emei three years ago, and it was through Liang Bo that he joined the Boundless Pavilion.
More importantly, Liang Bo promised her that if he could find out He Zhichu's whereabouts, then he would promote her to become a member of the Panlong Palace.
And joining the Panlong Hall is the purpose of Yuan Shidie's joining the Boundless Pavilion, because the Panlong Hall contains all the bizarre and unsolvable cases in the world, which must include the truth that she has been searching for for three years.
So she took on the task and didn't even think about it.
Although the task is arduous, but tonight when she discovers this secret passage and sees the old bloodstains, Yuan Shidie always feels that the three most important people in her life are guiding her in the sky.
This task must be completed, and I will definitely find the exit of the passage.
With this determination to win, Yuan Shidie's movements were much more delicate, and in the process of sliding over the stone wall on the left, she suddenly felt a little strange.
It was a faint flow of air, drifting slowly through the stone wall.
She reached out and knocked on the stone wall, and there was a sound on the ground, as if an echo echoed inside the stone wall.
"Jingfa, come and help, this stone wall is hollow!" Yuan Shidie listened against the wall, and suddenly her face was filled with the joy of success.
The two men lined up on both sides, each drew his weapon, used enough internal force, aimed at the stone wall, and attacked together.
Hearing a loud bang, the stone wall shattered, and then a torrent poured out from the breach, rushing the two together and slamming into the stone wall.
