Chapter 296
"You saved me?" Lan Qiao asked hoarsely.
Ling Yufei nodded with a smile, "I came here after hearing the sound of you tapping the stone door."
Lan Qiao looked around and saw a stone room that he had never seen before. "Where are we now?"
Ling Yufei spread his hands and said, "If I knew where I am now, I might not have the chance to fish you out."
"What are you talking about?" Lan Qiao stared at Ling Yufei for a long time, and suddenly laughed dumbly and said, "Could it be that Brother Ling is actually a road fool? Even if I sent a message in the copper tube to tell you how to find the treasure room, you are still confused."
road"
Ling Yufei said displeasedly, "Don't say it so bluntly." He paused and said, "Also, you don't have to always call me Brother Ling, just call me Ziyi."
"Brother Huaiyuan, thank you Brother Ziyi for saving me." Lan Qiao breathed in the fresh air greedily. After his body recovered a little, he sat up and said, "I owe you this life."
Ling Yufei waved his hand and said, "Don't mention it, is Zhu'er okay?"
"She is with my junior sister." Lan Qiao thought of Bai Xueyin and Li Zhuer and said worriedly, "They are all in the treasure room behind Tianjiuqi. We'd better get there quickly, otherwise if Hua Yuxi and the others find it first,
I'm just afraid there will still be trouble."
He rested for a while and felt that his physical condition had recovered slightly, so he motioned to Ling Yufei, and the two of them went into the water together and swam to the stone chamber of "Tian Jiu Qi" on the third floor.
At this time, Lan Qiao had recalled the various marks on the general map of the organization, and quickly found a shortcut to "Tianjiuqi". He returned to the treasure room in almost no time. At this time, the water on the third floor had already
Rise to the depth of the thigh.
He took a closer look, but didn't see Bai Xueyin and Li Zhuer, and felt bad. When he looked back, he found that Ling Yufei, who was following behind him, was gone. He wondered if he had gotten lost again.
After a moment's hesitation, he decided to find Bai Xueyin first.
Lan Qiao walked to the array of treasure chests strung together by iron chains. Just as he was about to shout, he suddenly heard the sound of rushing water approaching from outside the treasure chest.
His first reaction was that the person coming was Ling Yufei, but after thinking about it carefully, it was hard to be sure. So with a thought, he climbed into the outermost box and waited to see what happened.
The box was very big. Even if he, a big living person, hid in it, there would still be a lot of space left in the box. At the same time, the box was also very thick. After closing the lid, he could hardly hear the movement outside.
Lan Qiao felt uncertain and couldn't help but raise his vigilance to the limit, and then held the night pearl tightly in his hand to prevent the light from leaking out through the gaps in the box.
A moment later, a strange noise was heard, and the box where Lan Qiao was hiding was opened.
Lan Qiao was shocked, and just as he was about to jump up and fight to the death, he felt a gust of fragrant wind blowing against his face, and a wet and warm body came in.
With such a familiar scent, Lan Qiao knew it was Hua Yuxi without even looking. He quickly stretched out an arm and strangled Hua Yuxi's neck.
Hua Yuxi obviously didn't expect that there was someone hiding in the box, and was startled. But she reacted quickly, twisted her delicate body, and the dagger was already pressed against Lan Qiao's heart.
She had just recovered from the shock, her delicate body was heaving violently, her beautiful eyes glanced at Lan Qiao, and she said with a sweet smile, "Young Master, do you know that people who are strangled will burst out with amazing power before they die? My dear wife, my concubine Zuo Yong"
If the one on the right suddenly dies in a box that no one will open for hundreds of years, wouldn't it make them extremely sad and have no choice but to marry as women? Young Master, just imagine, your Feng'erxue'er will be held by other men.
Can you bear the scene of intimacy in my arms?"
Lan Qiao had a character that was not afraid of death. After hearing what she said, he really couldn't think about it anymore. He didn't dare to let go of the arm that was holding Hua Yuxi's neck, and he didn't dare to really push her and himself.
They died together. In desperation, they broke out in cold sweat. For a moment, they had no idea, so they could only hold on and said, "I have practiced a kind of external hard kung fu. You can use the true energy to make the muscles as hard as iron plates. If you are not afraid of death, you can try it."
.”
Hua Yuxi couldn't help laughing when she heard Lan Qiao say such "childish" words, "Why is it so dark in the sky? Oops, it turns out that Mr. Lan is bragging."
Lan Qiao said with a serious expression, "Stop talking nonsense."
Before he could finish his sentence, Hua Yuxi suddenly used her hand hard and stabbed the dagger into the flesh of Lan Qiao's chest a little, and then she whispered softly into his ear, "Don't make any sound, the enemy is coming."
Lan Qiao listened carefully, and sure enough, he heard the faint sound of footsteps approaching mixed with the sound of water. He lingered nearby for a while, and then gradually moved away.
"It's Ling Yufei," Lan Qiao couldn't help but ask, "You hid here just to avoid him."
"I met him under the water, and his ghost is still there." Hua Yuxi looked a little resentful, and said angrily, "This person's heart is really harder than a stone. He treats the slave family as if he is a dead thing. It's really annoying."
Lan Qiao secretly thought that she was mocking him for being soft-hearted, and he fell into her trap every time. He smiled bitterly, and fell into a stalemate with Hua Yuxi. Neither of them dared to act rashly.
Suddenly, he felt his body move. The box he was hiding in seemed to be lifted up and began to shake, sometimes tilting to the left and sometimes to the right. His and Hua Yuxi's bodies also swayed left and right in the small space inside the box.
twist.
The lid of the box was closed, and it was a little stuffy inside. This process took a long time. Lan Qiao kept his arms around Hua Yuxi's neck, but Hua Yuxi relaxed and leaned back, leaning against Lan Qiao's body.
A lot of her wet hair stuck to Lan Qiao's face. Lan Qiao was sniffing her fragrant girlish breath close at hand. For a moment, he somehow remembered when he hugged Li Jingshu and escaped from the foggy mountains on a raft.
scene.
It was eerily quiet in the box, and the two people's heartbeats were pounding one after another, like thunder.
Lan Qiao recalled the time when he and Hua Yuxi used their heartbeats to decipher Li Shunji's "Double Heart Link" in Jinan, and then recalled the scene when they talked about poetry at night in the Wolong Inn. He shook his head thoughtfully, as if he was unhappy.
I dare to believe that Hua Yuxi at that time and now are actually the same person.
Hua Yuxi didn't know if she remembered the same past incident, and said quietly, "Sir, if we die together in this box like this, and someone digs up this box thousands of years later, will they think that we were buried together in a coffin?"
couple"
Lan Qiao smiled bitterly, not knowing how to answer.
I don't know how long it took, but the shaking of the box gradually stopped. Lan Qiao couldn't help but said, "It seems to have stopped."
Hua Yuxi used her other hand to open the lid of the box and said happily, "It's here."
A burst of fresh air rushed into Lan Qiao's nose, immediately diluting Hua Yuxi's intoxicating aroma and refreshing him.
"Can we let go of the slave family?" Hua Yuxi said half plaintively and half pleading, "Rather than stalemate the relationship, why don't we each take a step back." As she spoke, the dagger in her hand relaxed a little.
Lan Qiao snorted, let go of his hand and said, "You are lucky."
"Young Master Lan is really calm." Hua Yuxi laughed, whether mockingly or teasingly, she retracted the dagger and jumped out of the box on her toes.
The box was shaken again by her foot, and it took a long time to calm down again.
Lan Qiao sniffed Hua Yuxi's remaining body breath, smiled to himself, looked around under the light of the night pearl, and couldn't help but be surprised again.
It turns out that from some unknown time, all the hundreds of large boxes in the treasure room have been floating on the water like a dark underground lake. Because the boxes are connected with iron chains, they are still arranged in a neat array.
