The bearded man was sitting quietly on the top of the rockery alone, half drunk, half awake and half leaning on the stone, taking advantage of the mottled light and shadow to hide, sometimes looking up at the stars, sometimes watching the warblers and swallows laughing and entangled with the benefactor.
The sudden movement under his butt made him feel bad all over. He suddenly woke up and remained motionless, not daring to make the slightest movement.
After seeing the rockery gradually being pushed away, he slowly turned sideways and fell down, sticking his whole body against the rockery to hide...
After emerging from the rockery, Yu Qing leaned against the rockery and observed quietly for a while. Then he walked out in a swaggering manner, staggering around the pool. He looked a little drunk. When he got close to the wall, he loosened his belt under the wall and wanted to pee at the wall.
Posture.
After pulling on the waistband of his pants and looking around casually for a while, he suddenly jumped up, climbed over the wall, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
The bearded man who was lying on the rockery stood up with a look of surprise and uncertainty. He slid over to the place where Yu Qing appeared. He stretched out his hand to touch the rockery and pushed it twice. He didn't bother here. He could go back and investigate slowly.
Suddenly, like a ghostly wisp of green smoke, it floated across the water, flew over the wall, and disappeared silently into the canopy of a big tree outside, observing...
Yu Qing, who came out of Yuchun Tower, quickly walked away from this area along the alley, walking quickly through Jingliao Street, observing his surroundings from time to time.
There was no one on the street at this hour, almost everyone was asleep.
I found a bridge, confirmed my location, and then quickly dived towards a corner of the city.
Finally, they arrived at a private house, which was currently unoccupied. It was originally a place rented by the three brothers. It was not used to hide their identities, but was used as an emergency place to stay temporarily in case anything happened.
After getting into the house, he touched the kitchen and moved the large water tank half filled with water. There was a stone slab underneath. After uncovering it, there was a pit underneath, which he dug. There was a sword and a package in it.
.
I opened the package and looked at it to make sure that there was nothing missing, including banknotes and other money, so I tied it up again and carried it on my back.
After resetting the stone slab and water tank, he left the house and started to turn back.
There may be things hidden by Nan Zhu and Mu Ao in the house. Everyone hides their own things, and he doesn’t know where they are. Yu Qing has no interest in rummaging through their things. Those two are so poor and want to hide their things.
What can there be.
We turned back all the way to Yuchun Tower. There was an alley outside the building, and there was a wooden wheel stall. There was roasted chicken on the stove of the stall, and the aroma wafted through the streets late at night.
When Yu Qing passed by, an old man sitting on the bench behind the stall shouted, "Brother, the roast chicken is very delicious."
Yu Qing stopped when he heard the sound and took a look, feeling a little wary. He had suffered a lot from the Zhong family in the capital. A noodle stall on the street near the Zhong Mansion turned out to be the outside eyes and ears arranged by the Zhong Mansion.
However, when I saw that the old man was wearing thin clothes and staying up all night relying on the warmth of the stove in this cool night, I couldn't help but ask, "It's already past half of the night, why are you still setting up a stall when there are no passers-by?"
The old man pointed to Yuchun Tower, where there were still merrymaking noises floating around, "There is always someone who is hungry. It's just me being greedy. I saw the sales were good a few days ago, so I baked a few more yesterday.
Only, in the end, there was only leftover. I couldn't afford to lose if I didn't sell it. I went back and took it out the next night to sell it. I was afraid that the food would not be good, which would ruin the stall and ruin the stomachs of the customers. This Yuchunlou would not
Let me set up a stall here again. Little brother, it’s late at night and you’re hungry. Just buy and taste it. I’ll sell it cheaper just for you.”
Yu Qing was silent and asked: "How many more are there?"
The old man immediately became energetic and pointed to the three simmering on the fire, "These are the three."
Yu Qing raised his chin and said, "It's all covered, I want both."
"Okay, okay." The old man quickly pulled off the oil paper, wrapped the three roast chickens, and tied them into skewers with hemp rope.
Yu Qing reached into his bag and took out a silver coin worth about one tael. He threw it on the stall, picked up the roast chicken and left.
"Brother, if you don't need this money, I haven't given you any change yet."
"Keep the change, please."
The old man was stunned, and quickly bit the silver nugget with his teeth. After confirming that it was genuine, he immediately became overjoyed and began to close the stall.
After walking around to the back of Yuchun Tower, leaning against the wall and listening intently for a while, Yu Qing jumped up and lay down on the wall, stretching his head to look inside.
He knew that there were guards and thugs in places like this, but he really didn't pay attention to the guards in places like brothels.
After confirming that there was nothing wrong, he turned over the wall, landed and walked around the pool in a swagger. He reached behind the rockery and then suddenly dwarfed. He reached into a hole in the rockery, groped around inside and caught the metal chain.
Ring, pull it out hard, and there is a clicking sound from inside.
When he stopped his hand, he pulled back the rock with the hand that was digging out the hole. A hole immediately appeared on the edge. He quickly got in sideways, quickly reset the opened rock, and disappeared.
The commotion in Yuchun Tower is still going on, and on the big tree outside, a bearded man hiding in the canopy is staring at the rockery.
After waiting for a while, he suddenly stepped out, appearing next to the rockery like a wisp of blue smoke, and listened carefully to the movements in the rockery.
After confirming that he was stable, he slowly squatted down and slowly put his hand into the hole that Yu Qing had dug out, groping around and after a while he also touched the metal chain link.
There was a clicking sound inside.
Following his example, the rock slowly opened and was pulled away by him.
He saw the entrance to the crack, but did not dare to act rashly. After hesitating for a moment, he found that the opened rock was slowly sliding back on its own. He felt that the design was clever. The closing mechanism should have made a certain slope to allow the rock to close by its own weight.
He grabbed the rock, pushed it aside again, and finally got in through the crack. He wanted to see what secrets were hidden inside. Was it Yuchunlou who was carrying his own secrets?
It was pitch dark inside. He took out a fluorite lighting device and moved forward slowly and cautiously. Suddenly there was a slight click sound from behind. He knew that the entrance should have been closed by itself. Fortunately, he knew how to turn on the mechanism. He continued to move forward.
After seeing the secret passage of steps, my heart became more and more suspicious. The stone steps and the regular stone masonry of the wall were unexpected. I didn't expect that such fine work was done under the Yuchun Tower...
Holding an oil lamp, Yu Qing walked back briskly, figuring that it would be inconvenient to complete the tunnel outline today.
There was no other way, so he took another trip to the city on his own initiative, so he didn't have much time.
I simply decided to go back and try some roast chicken while it was still hot. I haven’t had a good meal since I came to Wenfu.
As he walked, the flame of the elegant oil lamp in his hand suddenly swayed a few times. Yu Qing immediately petrified on the spot, staring at the flames. He suddenly opened his mouth and blew out the flames with a breath. He gently drew his sword in his hand and turned around to face him.
After that, he touched the wall and retreated. With his mastery of the terrain, he retreated to a corner before stopping, waiting for an opportunity to move...
The bearded man holding the torch walked forward slowly and cautiously. The further he walked, the more surprised he became. The length of this tunnel was beyond his imagination.
However, he himself did not notice that the vigilant look on his face gradually disappeared, and a slight smile gradually appeared.
Later, my smile seemed to have become silly, and my steps were unsteady, and I was dragging my feet.
It wasn't long before Yu Qing entered the room with him. Not long after waiting, he hid around the corner and saw the light of fluorite from a distance.
When looking at a dark place from a bright place, one is visually at a disadvantage. For Yu Qing, who practices Guan Zi Jue, he knows this truth very well.
He had great priority when looking into the light in the dark, so he hid in the corner and peeked, trying to see who it was.
The other party obviously came in from the entrance of Yuchun Tower. What happened to his front and back legs? What a coincidence? He wondered if he had been exposed and someone discovered it.
The first thought was to silence him, but after he changed his mind, he had concerns again and found himself, but he didn't notice it at all. Either it was a coincidence, or his cultivation level was far higher than his own.
Of course, there is a third possibility. Someone who knows the secret passage just happened to come in from Yuchun Tower, but the time makes it unlikely for him.
If he was really discovered and got involved with the Wen family, he would be in trouble.
The light is getting closer and closer, and the figures are getting closer and closer, but the speed of moving forward is really something that Yu Qing cannot praise. He is a little strange, why is he walking so slowly?
There are also strange footsteps.
When the person came closer, he finally saw the face of the person clearly. He was a bearded man with a silly smile on his face. He seemed to have seen something beautiful, and his laughter was flowing out of his mouth.
Yu Qing was a little stunned. It was obvious that the person was abnormal, like a demented fool.
Can a fool get in here?
Yu Qing secretly suspected that when he got close, he didn't dare to stretch his head anymore. He shrank his head and retreated quickly.
He quickly found his way back to the exit of the utility yard and hid there, waiting quietly, ready to go out and close the iron plate at any time.
After waiting for a long time, the fluorite light appeared, and the shuffling man slowly passed by the crossing and continued to move forward.
Where are you going? Yu Qing was suspicious and put the oil lamp in his hand back on the floor of the warehouse at the exit. He touched it back and peeked around the corner. When the figure walked away, he quietly followed behind.
.
After following him all the way, Bearded Beard entered a place that made him tremble with fear, and he smelled that vague yet suddenly strong aroma again.
The fluorescent back figure headed all the way to the end.
When he vaguely saw Bearded Beard slowly climbing the steps at the end, and vaguely saw Bearded Beard's hands reaching for the sling to put on his neck, he was shocked.
He suddenly realized something, stopped being sneaky, and quickly jumped away.
The fluorescent stone had fallen in the darkness and seemed to have fallen into the pit.
From the darkness came the strange sound of the hanging rope "clucking, clucking, clucking".
Yu Qing flew over and took out the fire stick, blew it and shined it. Under the firelight, he saw that his beard was hanging from his neck, and his whole body was hanging on it with his hands hanging down. It was obviously very uncomfortable to hang his neck.
It happened, but the man still had that silly smile on his face, as if he was enjoying himself, as if he had found heaven.
Something terrible happened. A group of white shadows spread out from the pit behind the steps, climbed up the wall, climbed upside down on the top of the wall, and then came down along the hanging rope.
Countless ants quickly enveloped the head on the hanging rope, gradually like a large surging chrysalis, completely covering the person on the rope, getting thicker and thicker.
The smell of blood suddenly filled the air, and the person who was hanged did not resist at all. Later, he finally showed signs of movement, but he was powerless and quickly stopped.
Yu Qing, who was holding the fire certificate, was frightened and did not take action to save anyone.
