The buzzing and crashing sound echoed), and every stone brick on the two walls of the corridor seemed to be vibrating.
Shen Lie quickly walked over and pulled out the dagger, raised his eyebrows and looked into the darkness ahead.
"The others ran away," Xia Zhaoyi followed up and said, "Listen to the noise, five are not here."
"They are also very thin," Shen Lie looked at the venomous snakes on the ground. "The mountain wind will attack the same kind. If you are so hungry and have companions in this condition, you may not be locked up together."
"But they will kill each other soon," Xia Zhaoyi said, "unless they attack us again."
Shen Lie wiped off the dirt and blood on the dagger with a handkerchief and handed it back to the girl.
Watching her put away her dagger, Shen Lie said, "Did you tell your master when you came down? You came down secretly."
Xia Zhaoyi blinked and looked up at him.
"If he knew you were coming down, would he come with you?" Shen Lie said again, "After all, you are seriously ill."
It didn't happen before. Master has always acted like it has nothing to do with me whether you die or not. You can get away as far as you want and don't bother me. Even if Liling Mountain collapsed in front of him and his life-long treasures were destroyed, He wouldn't care.
Just like two years ago, when she left Liling, the master just watched her leave without saying a word to stop her.
but now……
Yesterday, Zhili kept nagging in front of her.
"How come I didn't know you were a senior sister?"
"I only know that there is a senior sister."
"Master misses Senior Sister."
"You don't even know how sad Master is when Senior Sister dies."
"But I have never met Senior Sister. Senior Sister, have you ever met her? What kind of person is Senior Sister? Master said that the most proud disciple in his life is only Senior Sister."
………………
"I don't know," Xia Zhaoyi said, "He may come, or he may not, but just ignore him."
She walked to the side, pressed her palms lightly on the big bricks on the wall, and said, "No matter if he comes or not, we still have to go the way we want to go, so just pretend he doesn't come."
Shen Lie followed with the torch and said: "These stone walls are very strong."
"Well, here is the tunnel. I passed by it, bypassed a huge rock mass, and went to the secret passage in the alchemy room. When I came up, I saw you. So, there shouldn't be a big mechanism here. If there is a big mechanism , the stone wall will not be sealed so tightly, and the rock mass here will not be easily broken open, otherwise there is a possibility of collapse. But some small mechanisms..."
She tapped her finger bones on the stone wall, making a solid dull sound.
"Small agencies are nothing to be afraid of," she continued.
Mentioning the big mechanism, Shen Lie raised his eyebrows and said, "You should have heard those loud noises."
"Well, underground," Xia Zhaoyi raised his head and said, "For a while, I happened to be standing next to the iron gate, and the vibration made my ears hurt."
Shen Lie immediately looked at her ears and asked worriedly: "Does it still hurt now?"
"It's not bad," Xia Zhaoyi smiled, raised her hand and tugged on her right ear, which was rare and playful, "Sometimes there will be a buzzing sound. If you don't pay attention, it's fine. And once the buzzing sound ends, my hearing will be special. Qing Min, look," she pointed at the poisonous snake behind her, "I just killed it like that."
Shen Lie followed her pointer, looked at the poisonous snake, and said: "That loud noise is a big trap, it will scare away the rats. Ah Li," Shen Lie looked back at the girl, "is your master worried?" You, so come down with the sect leader of Yuanhe Sect, it turns out that the old sect leader knows some of the mechanisms here."
"From what you said, it seems possible." Xia Zhaoyi nodded.
"But there are indeed people who keep these venomous snakes and starve them for a long time," Shen Lie said. "I confirm that there are people who live here for a long time or come here often."
"Well," Xia Zhaoyi retracted his gaze and walked forward, tapping his fingers on the wall as he said, "Have you seen Lin Youqing?"
Shen Lie followed her, watching her little hands tapping on the wall. He unknowingly imitated her example and raised his hand to tap on the wall too, because he was much taller than her and the place he hit was higher.
Hearing this, Shen Lie said, "I've met him once."
"Where's Shi Youqing?"
"Never."
"They are so interesting. They have the same name but different surnames. My master likes such deviant people the most." Xia Zhaoyi said with a smile.
"Dai Yu told me that Shi Youqing told him that my mother's death was related to her mother's death, and you were also present at that time," Shen Lie said.
"Well," Xia Zhaoyi said, "Shi Youqing probably wants you to help her investigate."
"Shi Yingying was already dead at that time. She was force-fed poison by my grandmother when she was greeting my grandparents. At that time... Shen Xu and I were present together."
Xia Zhaoyi paused, frowned and said, "Killing a person's mother but not taking him away from the scene?"
"Um……"
Xia Zhaoyi said "Oh" and continued to move forward.
"My mother passed away a year after Shi Yingying's death. One month before her death, she began to develop many small red bumps and pustules on her body. She felt severe pain when touched. Soon after, she began to cough up blood. The blood was black and her feet were swollen. , almost paralyzed. When she started coughing up blood, she had hallucinations. Everyone she saw wanted to harm her, so she stabbed many people with daggers and bit my mother. Rumors began to spread in the house that she was possessed by an evil spirit. , was... harmed by Shi Yingying's ghost."
"It's poisoning," Xia Zhaoyi said, "Doesn't anyone in the Shen family suspect that it's poisoning?"
"I have doubts..." Shen Lie's voice became lower.
Xia Zhaoyi paused and said, "Shen Shu?"
"Well," Shen Lie looked forward and whispered, "grandfather and grandmother all said it was him, but they couldn't find any evidence. Later, my grandmother made a big fuss, bī) Shen Shu admitted that when I rushed there, they His hands have been plunged into boiling water."
Xia Zhaoyi smiled and said coldly: "bī) He admits it as a child, just because he wants to give an explanation to the Guo family."
Shen Lie raised his eyebrows slightly and said nothing.
Xia Zhaoyi pursed her lips, looked up at him, and said, "Shen Lie, I am not..."
"It doesn't matter," Shen Lie said, "What you said is the truth, I'm fine."
Xia Zhaoyi looked at him and suddenly smiled again.
"Huh?" Shen Lie didn't understand why she was laughing.
"It's okay." Xia Zhaoyi said and walked back to the front.
In fact, I would like to ask about "Ju Zhou Ze". Although it is a book about alchemy, it is becoming increasingly rare in this world. This book appeared in Shi Yingying's hands. I wonder if it has anything to do with Shen Xu's recent autumn. .
Moreover, she now became curious about the Shi family of Shi Youqing and Lin Youqing, as well as the disciples behind them.
Including her disciples traveling thousands of miles to Beiyuan to find her ashes, what are they going to do?
There is another person here, Lin Qingfeng.
She was amassing money crazily in the capital, and she even planned a plague drama at the beginning to make a fortune for the people. She was actually from their sect.
