Li Yijie noticed that Nangong Xue was suddenly not around, looked around, and let go of his hanging heart, and hurriedly rushed forward, "Xue'er, what are you doing? What can I help you?" Cheng Jiahua also followed, and said: "Yes, you just open your mouth, you don't have to be polite." ”

Nangong Xue wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, if she moved the coffin lid by herself and accidentally touched the jade coffin, it would be disrespectful. He smiled slightly and said, "Senior brother, can I ask you and Cheng Gongzi to help me carry the coffin lid back?" There is no choice but to commit the sins we have committed, even if the prince can forgive, we should try to make amends for one or two......"

Li Yijie and Cheng Jiahua didn't wait for her to finish, and they responded in unison: "Okay." Then, as if agreed, they looked at each other, and then turned their eyes away as if nothing had happened, and went to move the coffin lid. With the joint efforts of the two, it was completed very easily, and the coffin was restored to its original state after a while. Li Yijie clapped his hands, threw off the dust he had just stained, and said with a smile: "It's okay this time, the prince won't be angry with us anymore." ”

Nangong Xue smiled stiffly, and said, "Slow down, senior brother...... I also have to ask you to turn this jade coffin one hundred and eight degrees counterclockwise. ”

Li Yijie was stunned and said, "This ...... What is this for? That's not good, moving the position of the coffin is also disrespectful to the prince, let's not do it too much, it's important to find your life quickly. Nangong Xue said: "Senior brother, you and I have known each other for many years, so you should know that I will not make trouble unreasonably." You believe me in this matter, I have my own measure, even if there is any responsibility, I will bear it. ”

Li Yijie was skeptical, but he thought that his junior sister had always been steady, and she never played with a child's temper, so she had to do as she said. As soon as the two of them pushed the jade coffin, they saw a gap appear in the ground at the bottom of the coffin. The more you push, the bigger the gap becomes, and at the end there's a cave that can be entered by one person. Li Yijie never dreamed that there was such a mechanism, and praised: "It's really a god, Xue'er, how do you know this secret?" Nangong Xue smiled and didn't answer.

Cheng Jiahua was anxious to show off in front of Nangong Xue, and before she could speak, she preemptively said, "What's so strange about that? It must be something strange on the coffin lid, isn't it?"

Nangong Xue responded: "Yes, Senior Mu is also painstaking. If the person who comes is greedy for the seven evils, after opening the coffin, his eyes will only be fixed on the inside of the coffin, and he will fall into the trap of fake treasures. Only those who are kind-hearted and remember to close the lid of the coffin for the prince can get a glimpse of the mystery. This can be regarded as a good reward. ”

Li Yijie sighed: "It turns out that there are still so many complications, Senior Mu has no last resort, she really doesn't let her eyebrows, even I have to admire her." So if you go and walk this secret path, you can find the life-seeking slash?" Nangong Xue said: "It won't be that simple, but it is indeed instructed by Senior Mu, so we have to take it." Cheng Jiahua said: "What are you afraid of? The soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, the leader of the Li League will be blessed with Qitian, we will definitely be able to succeed." ”

Nangong Xue glanced at the cave and persuaded softly: "Cheng Gongzi, this ancient tomb is full of mechanisms, and under the secret passage, I don't know how many dangers. You have injuries on your body, so you can recuperate here, and when my senior brother and I quickly take our lives, we will come up to you, okay?"

Cheng Jiahua blurted out: "Don't, Xue, I'll go with you, I won't be a burden!" The title of "Shi Niang" is only called in front of Lu Qian, and it is to curry favor with him. In the past, it was okay to call younger siblings, but no one was willing to be a generation shorter than her when they came into contact with a woman of a similar age. Therefore, Cheng Jiahua suddenly changed her words, Nangong Xue didn't feel any difference, and she was tired of being involved with Lu Qian, and she was already dissatisfied with the title of "Shi Niang". But it's just one word, and it seems too intimate, and the two don't seem to be familiar to that extent. His face turned imperceptibly red, and he said, "Cheng Gongzi, you ...... Let's call me Axue. ”

Cheng Jiahua said: "Okay, don't always call me Cheng Gongzi, everyone knows me for a long time, but why is it so unfamiliar?" He thought that Nangong Xue would only call Li Yijie "senior brother" even if he could have some closer titles to himself, then he would be more capable than him.

Nangong Xue thought that men and women were already very close to each other by name, and it was said that a woman's name should not be easily shown except for her husband's family. His face turned red again, and he said, "Okay, then what do you want to call you?" Cheng Jiahua said in his heart: "What do you call me?" Naturally, it is called 'Jiahua good brother'. But that was the frivolous remark when he laughed with her in the past, and since he knew that she was tired of a slippery prodigal son like Lu Qian, and he wanted to win her favor, he must not follow suit. After thinking about it, he said, "Whatever you want...... Like. ”

Nangong Xue said: "I'...... Forget it, I will also call you Ah Hua, and I can be regarded as getting you a bargain. I really treat you as a friend, if you treat me like this......" Cheng Jiahua hurriedly said: "I am sincere, naturally I am also sincere!" Nangong Xue said: "That's good, Ah Hua, you listen to me, I don't think you're dragging you down, I'm just worried that your injury will recur, and I won't be able to take care of it when the time comes...... I don't want you to be in any danger. Don't let me and my senior brother find treasures without peace of mind, and worry about you, okay?"

Cheng Jiahua said in his heart: "It turns out that I am in danger, and you will be worried about me, I thought that you only cared about your papaya brother." Li Yijie thought in his heart: "What does he Cheng Jiahua have to do with me? Is he in danger, why should I be worried?" So the two of them were happy and worried.

Cheng Jiahua said: "Ah Xue, if you let me stay here, when the old man wakes up, remember that I broke his palms, even if he has exhausted his martial arts, and many disciples and grandchildren in the palace are vying to invite merit in front of him, isn't that just a matter of passing on? As he spoke, he took one of her hands and looked at her pitifully.

There is inevitably some artificiality in these words, Nangong Xue knows this, but when she hears him say it is really miserable, she feels a little sour in her heart. In the past, hearsay, after all, was not as shocking as what I saw with my own eyes. Thinking that Mu Qingyan did everything for her lover, although she claimed to be in love with her senior brother, she couldn't be like her. Thinking of her final fate in the future, the person who wants to fall in love may not be able to grow old together, and all the women serve a husband together, which seems to be complete, but in fact, everyone suffers. When I think of myself, I am extremely depressed, and my heart is softer than usual.

The group of disciples were all busy serving Liu Mujian, and none of them had the leisure to take care of them. Cheng Jiahua said in a low voice: "Duplicity, yang and yin, even if you promise well on the surface, but what to do in secret, who can know?" Ah Xue, I don't want to embarrass you, so I will always listen to you." If you insist that I stay, I will stay, and even if I do kill them, I will never complain. ”

Nangong Xue felt a twitch in her heart, looking at the swords hanging from the waists of the disciples, she could feel a cold aura through the scabbard, and what was even more fierce was the murderous aura.

This group of people had seen the whole process pass by, and knew that the master hated these three people to the bone before he fainted, especially Cheng Jiahua, who was secretly tricked, and then cut off his palms with his own hands. Without waiting for the master's order, if you can take the head of this little cub first, and when the master wakes up, he will offer it. The master will definitely be "dragon-faced and happy", maybe everyone will be rewarded, and most of the first person to hold the head of the person will become the successor of the next generation.

Nangong Xue has been wandering in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and many things that she didn't know much about before have been mastered. Even she could think of this thought, how could those disciples of the Huangshan Sect who were calculating all day long not be able to think of it? If Cheng Jiahua was really allowed to stay in the palace, it would only be at the mercy of others. Since he has such trust, you can't harm him for your own sake. Nodding his head, he said, "That's fine, you just go with us, but you have to be careful along the way." ”

Li Yijie was impatient to listen to their chatter again, and said, "I don't know what the situation is underneath, I'll go down to investigate first." I'll let you know when it's safe. Nangong Xue said: "Senior brother, you are also injured, you must be careful." ”

Li Yijie snorted and said in his heart: "It turns out that you still remember that I was 'also' injured." Shake off her hand that tugged at the sleeve of her shirt and leap down.

He had been prepared to breathe several times along the way, but it was unexpected, and almost as soon as he jumped out, his feet were already on the ground. The hole was not deep, and it was about level with the top of your head and the mouth of the cave when you stepped on the ground. It is only because the light above is dim that it is impossible to see what is going on in the cave, so there is a suspicion of a bottomless deep hole. He stomped the ground a few more times, waved his hand and hit the four walls, confirming that there was no mechanism. Only then did he raise his head and shout, "Xue'er, you...... You guys...... Come down, it's safe here!"

Suddenly, a sudden thought popped up in my mind: "If I don't greet them anymore, I will turn around and leave, first go to get the life-seeking slash and then turn to rendezvous, so what? Anyway, the senior sister doesn't want Cheng Gongzi to take risks, and the elder brother should protect the younger sister, so let me stand in the way of the danger alone." ”

Then he thought: "Li Yijie, what's the matter with you? One dark night is not enough, and now for that kid of unknown origin, you are suspicious of Xue'er again? What kind of person is she, don't you know? What are you thinking about every day in your mind? You should really fight! You should fight!" While clenching his fists, he hit himself on the head.

After a few knocks, a voice as soft as water said, "Senior brother, what are you doing?" Then two warm hands clasped his fists and said, "Good and dignified, why do you want to beat yourself?" The person in front of her was Nangong Xue, and under the meager light at this time, her face was a little softer, and the reflection was even more dreamlike. Li Yijie was stunned for a while, but held her soft palm, really hoping that time would stand still, or stay with her at the bottom of this dark cave for the rest of his life.

The atmosphere was in a good mood, Cheng Jiahua's voice suddenly sounded, and he smiled in a greasy tone: "I think, Li Mengzhu probably thinks that he is too smart and hinders others from standing in the world, so he wants to knock himself stupid in order to blend in with everyone, I don't know if I am right?" Nangong Xue said angrily: "You, it's just nonsense." If you don't learn, learn from your master. ”

Li Yijie was even more unhappy when he heard this, and when he saw that their hands were holding hands together in the dim light, his face immediately darkened a few layers, and without saying a word, he took Nangong Xue's other hand, turned around and walked forward. I heard Nangong Xue smile to Cheng Jiahua: "My senior brother, this person, said that the wind is the rain, and it is always like this...... There was a nameless fire in my heart.

After walking for a while, my heart suddenly beat like a drum: "What happened just now? Am I eating my sister's vinegar again? Could it be that I keep persuading her to give up on me and find a good person, it's all a lie? Could it be that I still can't bear her in my heart after all? No...... No...... Lu Qian is right, I don't love her, but I want to occupy her, could it be ...... Am I subconsciously using her as a stand-in for Yun'er......? How can I be so despicable!"

At this time, there is only one thought left, even if you don't love Nangong Xue, you can't deceive her anymore and give her false hope, she is her own junior sister, the cute little sister she should protect, and she is definitely not a tool for him to heal emotional trauma. As soon as he thought of this, he immediately shook his hand and let go of Nangong Xue and quickened his pace.

Nangong Xue was talking and laughing with Cheng Jiahua, and her hands suddenly emptied, and when she saw Li Yijie's distant back, it seemed that a piece of her heart had been dug out, and there was a hole in her blood.
