Shen Xu was standing not far from them. She came over quietly. Now her back was turned to them, her ears raised high. She was aware of the gazes from behind. A smile appeared on Shen Xu's face and she turned around with a smile.
"Zhiyan." Shen Xu said.
"Remember to leave a mark for us," Shen Lie said, "We will be back in half an hour."
"You two, do you want one of you to stay?" Shen Xu looked at them.
No matter which one of the boys and girls in front of me makes people feel safe.
"I'm not very familiar with you." Xia Zhaoyi smiled.
"I'm following Ah Li, Ah Li is sick." Shen Lie said.
"I am also a patient," Shen Xu pointed at herself, "I am very ill."
Xia Zhaoyi smiled and looked at Shen Lie, "Please accompany your brother. Remember to leave a mark for me. I will be back soon."
She turned around and walked out of the stone door.
Shen Lie glanced at Shen Shu and followed the girl without saying a word.
Watching them disappear outside the stone door, the scornful smile on Shen Xu's face disappeared, she sighed and looked at the poisonous snake on the ground.
"Sir." Rougu came over and said.
"Um."
"Shen Lie's treatment of this girl seems unusual," Rou Gu said, "could he be interested in Ah Li?"
Shen Shu raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Rou Gu with cold eyes.
Rougu felt cold, lowered her head and said, "I..."
"The word confidant," Shen Shu said, "Rou Gu, do you understand?"
"confidant?"
"Zhiyan has always been like this. Once he regards others as his confidants, he will throw everything away. This is his enthusiasm. It was the same with Yun Yi and Liu Zhaojiang in the past. Why don't you feel weird when he treats Yun Yi and Liu Zhaojiang like this? Do girls have opinions?"
"That's not the case," Rou Gu said hurriedly, "Sir, have you ever thought about how Ah Li will grow up when she is still young now?"
She paused for a moment, her eyebrows slightly condensed.
"Didn't the young master say that he wanted Shen Lie to get married? Look at this Ah Li..."
"It's a bit scary to think about it this way," Shen Xu said.
"Terrible?" Rou Gu was puzzled, "Master, are you saying that it would be terrible for Ali Ruo to marry into the Shen family?"
"It's very scary." Shen Shu felt horrified even thinking about it. "What Zhiyan needs is a woman who can take care of his daily life, give birth to children for him, and be obedient. If it were this Ah Li, how much trouble would she cause to Zhiyan? ?”
As for the poisonous snake, he was more frightened than ordinary people when he saw poisonous snakes. If an ordinary girl killed a passing mountain wind in front of them, they would have been stunned. But this Ah Li was different. She killed the poisonous snake in the blink of an eye, but they were stunned. It felt normal and there was no sense of surprise.
Such a girl can be regarded as a close friend, and having such a legendary woman as a friend is a blessing in life, but if she is a wife, her life will be much more unstable.
"Fortunately, it's still early," Shen Xu said, "Zhi Yan may not be attracted to her, but I still have to find a way to prevent him from having such thoughts."
As he said this, he turned around, and after walking a few steps, he cast another glance at the poisonous snake on the steps.
The poisonous snake died miserably, and the appearance of the snake's head sent chills down Shen Shu's spine.
His eyes darkened and he turned to leave.
The lids of the other alchemy furnaces in the stone room have all been opened. Some are rotten herbs, some are strange animal bones, and some of the other alchemy furnaces cannot be distinguished.
The alchemy furnace under the stone pillar was not touched. In the alchemy furnace adjacent to it, there were three layers of neatly arranged golden round pills.
Rougu wrapped a round pill in a kerchief and picked it up. Under the light, the color was bright and not dull at all.
"Does anyone dare to eat this?" Rougu turned back to look at Shen Xu, "I heard that those who swallow gold will die. This elixir is coated with pure gold lacquer powder, what's the difference?"
"As long as you brag well, people will dare to eat shit." Shen Xu said calmly.
"Master, why are you using bad words?"
"If this is the Changsheng Pill in Qianqiu Palace, tell me how disappointed I will be," Shen Xu said, turning around and walking towards the largest stone door of this stone room, and said, "Let's go and look elsewhere."
His voice was soft and his figure was thin. Looking at him, Rougu seemed to see thousands of invisible loneliness appearing in the dark stone room, slowly surrounding him, trying to dissolve him into the boundless darkness.
There will be immortality, Rougu is determined in her heart, she will definitely have it.
She didn't want to see her young master reduced to desolate bones just like the thousands of living people who had lived here.
The largest stone door was ajar, and it was not as difficult to move as other stone doors. With a little effort by one of his men, the huge stone door was pulled inward as easily as an ordinary wooden door.
It is related to the door shaft, but the inside of the door shaft is wrapped in thick wood and stone, making it difficult to see what parts are inside.
Outside the stone door is a wide and long corridor.
It's the corridor again.
"I thought several alchemy rooms were adjacent to each other," Shen Xu said with narrowed eyes, "This place is really too big."
"Sir, that poisonous snake," Rougu said, "we have to be careful."
"The thing more terrifying than poisonous snakes is the person who releases them," Shen Xu raised her eyebrows and looked around the top of the corridor and said, "But I don't know where this person is hiding."
"Is there really anyone else here?"
"That poisonous snake will indeed not appear without reason," Shen Xu said, "Let's go, maybe we can still meet him."
Both sides of the corridor are made of smooth stone bricks, which are no different from those seen along the way. There are still lamp holders on the wall, but none of them can be lit.
They walked slowly and slowly, the firelight swaying gently. In the long corridor, less than ten torches could not shine very far, like a rocking boat in the long river.
Shen Xu walked in front, with the torch behind, casting his slender figure on the ground. He looked at the reflection, and gradually became lost in thought as he walked.
The venomous snake killed by the girl appeared in his mind, and at the same time he seemed to recall the shadows of those snakes that had long been buried under the dust of the years.
He is afraid of snakes to the extreme. Not only has he been killed by snake monsters, but he has also seen live snakes swallow people.
Such a long golden python swallowed up a timid girl huddled in the corner in front of him.
He still remembered the girl's head in the snake's mouth and her body struggling desperately when she was swallowed.
He was so frightened that he froze there. A pair of slender hands suddenly stretched out and covered his eyes.
Then came the voice of the biological mother angrily scolding, "You are all blind! You can't even see such a big young master!"
His mother never scolded him, holding him in her hands and keeping him in her heart, so he was not punished in the slightest, but he never saw the person who took care of him that day again.
In addition to this, he was bitten by a snake because of his mother.
She has tried her best to protect him, but what's the use? If she only has to deal with these things for ten days, nothing will happen to him. But if she deals with these things every day, how can she protect him completely?
