Jiang Yanchen's eyes flickered brightly and darkly, showing sadness and confusion for a while, and turning into gloom for a while. His eyes wandered back and forth between the tombstone and Nangong Xue, thinking of her accusation that she was indifferent and selfish, and every time she wanted to argue, she collapsed halfway. Secretly said in his heart: "Do you think you know him very well? If it weren't for his grave, you dared to be so disobedient to me, I would have killed you no less than a hundred or ten times!"

Having said that, there is still some approval of Nangong Xue in my heart. As soon as they are aware, they immediately forcibly suppress it with the rest of their minds. It is as if standing on an isolated island in the middle of the sea, guarding the only remaining faith under your feet, despite the rough waves around you and the sound of the tide, you will not move. However, one day, this small piece of land is gradually disintegrating, and it is really the world's big, and there is no place for suffering.

—————

Yuan Yi and Li Yijie traveled for many days, almost running to the ends of the earth, and finally arrived at the end of the mountain and rock, the sea and the sky. Standing in front of a cave, a dark path leads straight down. Yuan Yi suddenly raised his hand to stop Li Yijie, and seemed to be a little embarrassed when he spoke, and said: "Brother Li, it's not that the younger brother is strong, but the precepts of the ancestors cannot be violated-"

Li Yijie is a demander, and naturally obeys everything. Before Yuan Yi's guilt faded a little, he took out a strip of cloth from his pocket, smiled generously, and said, "Before I came here, I promised you, don't worry." You see, I'm not all ready?" he said, blindfolding the strip of cloth. Yuan Yi said: "Slow-" Seeing Li Yijie's sincere eyes, even a person like him, who has always been free and easy, actually took care of it, and it was difficult to speak.

Li Yijie also had a hunch that the trip would not go so smoothly, but now that he had arrived at the entrance, he would not be driven back in any way. took the initiative to say: "Yuan Gongzi, if there is anything, just just talk to me, don't worry." Or maybe there are some other unsatisfactory rules in the villa? It doesn't matter, since I'm here, the guest is as he pleases, and I can do whatever you say. ”

Yuan Yixin said: "The more generous you are, the more I will make me feel ashamed of you." He sighed and said: "Blindfolding is only one of them, and my father once said that if an outsider enters the village, no matter how noble his status is in the Central Plains, he must be treated equally at this time." All those who have mouths and can talk cannot be trusted, unless they swear not to divulge the secrets of the villa and cut out their tongues in front of him before they can leave alive. I don't want you to sacrifice so much, and I don't want to cause irreparable defects afterwards, so I think there is a plan that can be neutralized, and that is that as soon as you enter, you pretend to be a mute who is born to speak. Your father may use various methods to test you, but as long as you grit your teeth and push through, you will be able to pass the test safely. As for convincing my dad...... Leave it to me. I'm his son, after all, and I know how to do what he likes better than you do. ”

Li Yijie said: "I can accept blindfolds and poisonous swearing, but I just pretend to be dumb...... It will never work. I will also join you in begging my uncle to tell him the story of me and Cher, and I will try to make him feel emotional. In front of a figure who is equivalent to Cher's hope for survival, I am sorry to be silent, but I really can't do it. Besides, I'm full of worries, and I don't look like I'm dumb. I don't know when I'm going to show my stuff, and then it will hurt you, and it seems that my intention to ask for help is not sincere......"

Yuan Yi interrupted: "Brother Li, if I am not sure, how dare I speak out? Think about it, compared to the two of us, whose eloquence is better?"

Li Yijie said: "The original son is eloquent and talented, but I am inferior to you." Yuan Yi couldn't care about being modest at this time, and blurted out: "That's it! If even I can't say that my father can't move, what difference does it make if Brother Li's respect is open or not?"

Li Yijie's face was red for a while, he only thought about coming out of his own head before, but he ignored this stubble, and said with a wry smile: "That...... All right. As he spoke, he slowly blindfolded the strip of cloth. Circle after circle, when knotting at the back of the head, the hands alternated, and pulled hard towards both sides, and the tie was especially tight.

Yuan Yi saw it in his eyes, knowing that he intended to prove it to himself, and he would never peek, and he couldn't tell what it was like. There are so many strange rules in the family, which can prevent gentlemen and villains, but they want a good friend like Li Yijie to suffer from it. I only felt that my throat was hoarse, the tip of my tongue moistened my lips, and said, "Brother Li, when you get inside later, you will do whatever I tell you to do, and you must not talk nonsense." The mechanism has no eyes, and once it is touched, it is a matter of human life. ”

Li Yijie nodded, stretched out his palm tentatively, held Yuan Yi's palm, and said with a pun: "No problem, I will do everything you ask." Yuan Gongzi, please do everything, the net worth and life of a brother will be all in your hands. Yuan Yi felt a heavy burden on his shoulders out of thin air, and it was unknown whether he could unload it. I didn't dare to accept rashly, and I didn't dare to refuse early, so I could only smile silently.

Li Yijie followed him a few steps in the darkness, and he could still hear the sound of waves crashing on the shore in his ears. Then the road sloped sharply, and the whole person seemed to fall down, knowing that this was the downhill road, he concentrated his weight on his heels, and paused hard step by step. Gradually, even the sound of the waves could not be heard, but the smell of dampness gradually came into the nose, which is unique to the deep earth located by the sea.

This is followed by a long road with twists and turns. Li Yijie took this opportunity to think about how to speak to him when he saw the "extremely old-fashioned father" in Yuan Yi's mouth later. After a long time of drafting, I remembered that Yuan Yi asked him to pretend to be mute, but I was a little relieved to think that I would put all the power of words in the hands of others.

Yuan Yi suddenly said: "Brother Li, hold your breath." Before Li Yijie came back to his senses, he felt a burst of mist hit his face, which immediately filled his nostrils, and he couldn't help coughing in a low voice. The nose was sore, and the tears gushing out were still bound by strips of cloth, mixed in the corners of the eyes, and the eyes were slightly swollen.

However, this can only be regarded as an appetizer in comparison, and the deeper you go, the greater and more rapid the current, pouring down from the top of your head, and your hair, clothes, and whole body are soaked, and you can't find a dry place to wipe it off. This may be cool and comfortable in the summer, but at this time, it is late autumn and winter, and the clothes are wet and sticking to the body, and the cold is drilled straight into the collar, as if it goes straight to the bones. I thought that I could only have this power if I had just passed through a waterfall.

Although the water was cold on the body, it was extremely clean, and the whole person was refreshed. Suddenly, I thought, "I don't know what kind of place this is? How can there be such a big flow of water deep underground......?" I really walked into the water...... Don't...... Could it be that the real location of the four great families is actually hidden at the bottom of the sea? No wonder no matter how the world searched, they could never find it. ”

As soon as this thought came to mind, I couldn't help but blame myself in my heart: "Li Yijie, you have clearly said that if you don't go to spy on other people's secrets, you should turn a blind eye to all the strange things here and ignore them." How can you just go through a little abnormality, think about it, and analyze it endlessly?"

There is a section that is specially designed to wring out people's clothes, at least Li Yijie used it to come in handy. finally got rid of the dilemma of wet answers, and before he could take a breath, he heard Yuan Yi shout: "Be careful!" I don't know what mechanism he pressed, and then hurriedly pulled Li Yijie. After jumping several times, I could hear the sound of the mechanism behind me popping up one after another.

At last, I stepped on a piece of ground, and before I could breathe a sigh of relief, the ground actually descended straight to the bottom. When you reach a certain depth, you jump to another platform, and although you can't see it, you can vaguely feel that you are flying towards the upper corner of the diagonal corner.

After a series of earth-shaking tosses, he finally stood on tiptoe, stepped on a very thin steel wire, and walked forward in a staggered manner. Fortunately, he was blindfolded at this time, and he couldn't see that there was an abyss-like high platform under him, and the bottom was lined with dense and extremely thin steel needles.

However, people cannot be disguised, and so are mundane things, and on the tip of each needle, there is a layer of unique poison. Once the steel needle penetrates the human body, it will immediately swim deeper, and the toxins will invade the veins, and there is no cure. Li Yijie is not afraid of those who don't know, and Yuan Yi has been rolling on this tightrope since he was a child, and he belongs to the first-class "practice makes perfect".

After crossing the tightrope, I stepped into the innermost secret room. Yuan Yi gestured: "Brother Li, you can untie the eye cloth." ”

Li Yijie was waiting for his words, but as he traveled in the original mansion with many organs for less than half an hour, he could only feel safe by blindfolding and being led by others, and he was a little reluctant to be a "blind man".

I was about to joke with Yuan Yi when I heard a cough in the room. Although the voice is soft, it is no less than a muffled thunder for Li Yijie. In front of the original owner, he didn't dare to be out of line, he had nothing to do with him, but at this time, it was like sending him to the door and being his son, and he would be afraid of him with a snort.

He hurriedly ripped off the eyecloth and looked around with wide eyes. I saw that the place was an extremely spacious hall, the windows were cleaned everywhere, and the furnishings in the house were all paved with jade and glaze, which was no different from the most magnificent palace, and even had a victory. It's hard to believe that this paradise-like place is a manor hidden deep underground.

Then there was a large round spar in front of him, which was placed squarely in the center of the hall, and there was a special stand to support it. Waves of colored light flowed from the top of the hedrons, and the side walls were so clear that they could reflect their reflections. Li Yijie wanted to come forward to check, but when he saw the middle-aged man standing behind the spar, he immediately dispelled all the ridiculous thoughts when he came.

The man was tall and thin, wearing a dark green python robe, and his face was grim, as if his face was covered with a layer of frost. With his hands behind his back, his hairstyle is still as similar as before, hanging straight down to his shoulders. In recent years, forced by the power of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, many people had to shave their heads painfully, leaving long braids that could withstand the rules, and the few who had never shaved were several influential figures in contemporary times, and the imperial court could not restrain them for a while.

Although he has been living in seclusion all the year round, and the emperor is far away, but from him, there is another kind of momentum that is not angry and self-imposing, which makes people see it at first glance, and they have to be forced by this invisible pressure and dare not make any changes. Just looking at his face, he is more like a certain big brother of a similar age in Yuan Yi. However, according to Li Yijie's guess, this is most likely the "main master" who came to find this time.

Sure enough, Yuan Yi stepped forward and introduced: "This is Li Daxia, the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance." This is Jia Yan. Li Yijie remembered that he had told him to "pretend to be deaf and dumb", and he was busy and humble, and he fell to the ground.

The original owner snorted coldly: "Martial Arts Alliance Master, forgive me for not knowing how to lift, I don't have much contact with people in the rivers and lakes, and I don't have anything special to entertain you." Please forgive me for any inadequate courtesy. Although the mouth is called "forgiveness", but the look on his face is full of self-respect, how can he have the luxury of asking for the understanding of others?

Li Yijie nodded awkwardly, or he was in preconceived awe, and he was uncomfortable in front of this worldly master. It's a shame that Yuan Yi told him to pretend to be dumb, otherwise he would be speechless, and he would be even more scorned. But everything is difficult to take care of, but neither of them has thought deeply before, the Central Plains martial arts talents are numerous, how can they allow a dumb man to be the leader of the alliance?
