The main hall is not as spacious as the main hall, but it is still four doors deep. There are narrow floors on both sides, with gray painted wood and gray railings.
There is a whole wall of relief murals on the main seat, with cranes flying in the sky, lifelike.
When Xia Zhaoyi entered, Shen Lie was agile and had climbed to the height of the mural. He was holding a crane wing with one hand and looking down behind the seat.
He looked up and saw her coming in. Shen Lie fell down from the wall and came to pick her up: "There is a secret passage down there. It is two feet wide and deep inside. The sound just now must be a mechanism."
"Can you see someone?" Xia Zhaoyi said.
"I didn't see it, and the hall was gathering dust. There were no other footprints before I came."
Xia Zhaoyi glanced at the vast hall, then raised his eyes to look at the murals in front of him.
"This mural is so big," Xia Zhaoyi said, "it occupies an entire side of a hall, it's really spectacular."
Shen Lie also looked at it and said lightly: "The color of the mural is made of mineral materials and will last a long time."
Xia Zhaoyi looked around as he walked. When he reached the back of the main seat, there were several low steps with wide slopes. Under the low steps, a huge secret passage opened.
Xia Zhaoyi groped around her waist for a while, and a small oil ball lamp fell leisurely on her fingertips.
She tied the small oil ball lamp to the silver whip she took off from her waist, and then looked at Shen Lie: "Borrow the sword and use it."
Shen Lie took off the long sword from his back.
Soon, Xia Zhaoyi lowered the long sword, attached to the silver whip, and attached to the small lighted oil ball lamp inch by inch.
The weapons of both of them were rare treasures of an admiral in the world. At this moment, in the narrow tunnel, the small oil ball lamp became the protagonist.
As the weak little lamp sinks, the space below is gradually illuminated.
There is not much visibility, and wherever the light reaches, there is a dense mass of bones and corpses.
The air below is thin, and the small oil ball lamp gradually fades away. As it sinks further down, the firelight disappears.
Xia Zhaoyi lifted the sword in his hand.
The small oil ball lamp is coming back from the ashes.
Lifting the silver whip back, Xia Zhaoyi put away the small oil ball lamp: "It seems there will be no one down there."
"I don't know what agency caused that loud noise."
Xia Zhaoyi thought: "Maybe we did something to trigger this mechanism."
Shen Lie also began to recall where he had been since last night.
Xia Zhaoyi lowered his head and looked back at the deep tunnel.
It's two feet wide and about three feet deep, but I don't know if the space below is flat or if there is a tunnel going down.
But with so many corpses, it was easy for her to think of a place.
Xia Zhaoyi looked at Shen Lie, and saw Shen Lie looking at her as well, with clear and bright black eyes.
Their eyes met, Xia Zhaoyi said softly: "I thought of Long Yuan."
"Will there be any connection?"
"I don't know yet," Xia Zhaoyi looked back, thought for a while, and said to Shen Lie, "Shen Lie, my legs and feet are inconvenient, so I will help you to go and pick up a few stones."
"Well, I'll go right away," Shen Lie said. After turning around a few steps, he turned back to look at her on the stone steps and said in a deep voice, "Ah Li."
"Um?"
"...There is no need for you and me to be so open to each other in the future."
"I haven't seen anything outside of it."
Shen Lie gently tightened his fingers and suddenly said: "As long as you have a wish, you can go through fire and water. I will not blink an eye and you can go immediately. So there is no need to... say thank you to me for such trivial things in life."
Xia Zhaoyi looked at him steadily, paused for a while, and nodded: "Okay." Then she smiled on her lips, "Then, I won't be polite from now on."
Shen Lie also curved his lips and smiled. He was extremely handsome, his black eyes were deep and focused, and the softness overflowing from his eyes could melt thousands of glaciers.
He turned around, the smile in his eyes getting stronger and stronger, raised his hand to gently rub the tip of his handsome nose, and strode away with his heartbeat pounding wildly.
Xia Zhaoyi looked away, but her eyes had nowhere to focus.
As rational and calm as she is, with a strong mind, this is the first time in her two lifetimes that she is at such a loss.
She did not deceive herself, she knew early on that this might be the relationship between a man and a woman.
But the love between a man and a woman is not just a certain product of a certain age, but a change in the body that leads to the onset of love.
The master said so, the book said so, and what she saw was the same.
Tao Lan treated her second brother like crazy and took his anger out on her for no reason, making her disgusted and disgusted.
Yan Qinglin's madness towards Song Zhiyi also seemed to have lost his mind, both stupid and bad.
The various people who pursued her in her past life were all inexplicable and chaotic.
The craziest person in this world, Liu Xianbao from Bajiang Lake, but I don’t know if she still remembers her appearance.
Xia Zhaoyi frowned, not knowing when he started.
Suddenly a ridiculous picture appeared in her mind. She was wearing Liu Xianbao's clothes and combing Liu Xianbao's hair, standing by the lake and looking at the thousands of sails...
Xia Zhaoyi closed her eyes.
Look, the relationship between men and women is so absurd. She, a clear-minded person, is also confused.
And Shen Lie's treatment of her may be more like an elder brother's treatment of a younger sister. If she has any unreasonable thoughts, is it ridiculous?
Furthermore, no matter what the consequences were, she was determined not to marry a married woman, and she would not have any involvement in the matter of marriage.
Shen Lie came back with a bag of stones and a long wooden crutch in his hand.
Seeing the girl sitting blankly at the foot of the steps, Shen Lie said: "Ah Li."
Xia Zhaoyi raised his eyes, his eyes clear again.
"Here." Shen Lie handed over the wooden stick.
Xia Zhaoyi took it: "You are considerate, thank you very much."
Looking at the stone in his hand, Xia Zhaoyi blinked: "So many."
"Come." Shen Lie stepped up the steps.
The highest point of the steps is the first one. Behind the first one, you have to step down a wide terrace.
When he reached the edge of the secret passage, Shen Lie put down the cloth in his hand. It was full of stones, large and small.
"How to throw it?" Shen Lie asked.
"Come here," Xia Zhaoyi said, "in a slightly skewed direction. I'll listen to the sound to identify the location and distance."
"Okay, how big of a stone do you want?"
"random."
Shen Lie picked up a piece and weighed it in his hands. He turned his head and saw her turning to the dark passage and closing her eyes.
The long and lightly curled eyelashes trembled slightly, the side profile was beautiful and peaceful, and under the straight bridge of the nose were small but plump lips, which were still bloodless and tempting to kiss.
"..."
Shen Lie was suddenly annoyed and felt that he was rude.
When he saw her this time, he was out of control, had wild thoughts, and had no self-control.
It would be better to hit yourself on the head with the stone in your hand.
"Huh?" Xia Zhaoyi looked at him.
"I, I was distracted," Shen Lie said, his clear voice just enough to cover up his panic. He looked to the secret room and said, "Ah Li, I threw it away."
"good."
Shen Lie raised his hand and threw it to the right first.
The stone fell to the ground, and the echo was long.
"Five feet." Xia Zhaoyi said with his eyes closed.
"Continue?"
"continue."
So Shen Lie picked up the stone again and continued to throw it, this time in a different direction.
Every time he threw a piece, Xia Zhaoyi told the distance.
Until a stone suddenly stumbled and rolled down, Xia Zhaoyi opened his eyes and looked at the deep secret passage with Shen Lie.
