Five hundred and twenty-eight: The sound of the sea
Jia Z and Zhou Ji listened with bated breath to the movements in the darkness ahead. Even whispers were amplified countless times in the quiet culvert. Even so, because they were too vague, Jia Z and Zhou Ji still couldn't hear them.
Be clear about what is being said and how many people are on the other side.
"When...when..."
"It's almost... urgent..."
"This... what the old guy gave me... is pretty reliable..."
"That's... he can be considered... a veteran of three dynasties."
Feeling that the person on the opposite side was getting closer and closer, Jia Z quickly pressed the torch in his hand to the ground, and then hurriedly stamped it out with his foot. Zhou Ji also followed suit, Jia Z hurriedly pushed him away
He pushed against the other wall.
Jia Z himself quickly leaned against the wall, his feet slowly stretched forward and backward, and then he slowly lowered his body, pressing his left hand on the scabbard, and slowly placing his right hand on the
On the handle of the knife.
Jia Z looked like a tiger about to pounce on its prey, with a frightening cold light flashing in his eyes as he watched closely the approaching sounds and swaying firelight.
Jia Z was waiting for an opportunity to move in the darkness, and even his breathing became lighter. Seeing this, Zhou Ji on the opposite wall also tried his best to stare ahead with his eyes wide open, his heart pounding non-stop.
"Click!"
The sound of the spring on the scabbard was extremely clear in the empty duct. Zhou Ji immediately looked at Jia Z in horror. Jia Z stopped moving because the two people opposite seemed to have stopped.
"what sound?"
This time, Jia Z and Zhou Ji heard clearly that it was a man. His voice sounded a little vague. He was probably wearing a mask or something.
The other person seemed to be a little surprised and said: "I also heard it...it should be the sound of water dripping, right?"
The one who heard the words slowly shook his head and said: "It's not like that, it's more like... the snap ring of the scabbard!" The other one seemed to swallow when he heard the words and said: "Don't scare me,
No one has entered this place for hundreds of years, so how could there be such a thing?"
The other one seemed to be a little scared. Hearing the words, he said: "Go and take a look in front." The other one was a little scared when he heard the words: "Forget it. One more thing is worse than one less thing. Everything is done. Let's hurry up... …”
"I told you to go up and have a look!"
The man said in a tone that left no room for doubt. The other man had no choice but to walk forward slowly, seemingly holding a torch and reaching forward.
Jia Z listened to the cautious steps on the other side getting closer and closer, and his right hand on the handle of the knife could not help but slowly clenched...
Just when the fire was getting closer and closer, and was about to illuminate Jia Z's figure hiding in the dark, Jia Z suddenly shouted: "Where is the thief!"
At the same time, there was a flash of silver light in his hand, and he ran towards the person's throat! Unexpectedly, just when Jia Z was about to cut the man's head with a knife, there was a sudden flash of white light in front of his eyes, followed by a burst of explosion and thick smoke!
Jia Z had been in darkness, and suddenly his eyes were hit by this burst of light. His eyes suddenly burst into tears, and he naturally put down the knife in his hand.
"run!"
The two people on the opposite side didn't seem to have the slightest interest in fighting, but after one successful move, the person behind them roared, and the two people ran away!
Jia Z was blinded by a burst of dazzling white light and couldn't open his eyes. The thick smoke that the man threw out seemed to contain something like pepper. Jia Z couldn't help but blurred his eyes and burst into tears!
When Zhou Ji saw this, he didn't care to chase the two people. He quickly stepped forward to support Jia Z and said, "How are you?" Then he couldn't help coughing because of the thick smoke.
Jia Z hurriedly said: "I, cough! I'm fine! Cough! Hurry! Chase!" Zhou Ji looked up and saw that the two people had already run away and only their backs were left, so he hurriedly said: "What are you still chasing?
?Let’s go up first!”
Jia Z heard this and said anxiously: "Those two people definitely have ulterior motives for coming here! This culvert leads directly to Jinshui River.
That’s the Imperial City! They must have other plans for His Majesty!”
Zhou Ji said helplessly: "Even if this is the case, if they are frightened by us, they will not dare to act rashly, let alone they have already run away! How can we pursue you with your current virtue?"
Jia Z slammed the wall and said: "Now there are only a few culverts without underground rivers, and there are only so many exits! They can't escape!"
When Zhou Ji was about to say something, Jia Z's expression changed again, and then interrupted: "Did you hear anything?"
Zhou Ji was stunned, are you still coming? But Zhou Huan calmed down and found that there seemed to be a voice that seemed to be getting closer and closer, as if...
"The sound of the ocean?"
Zhou Ji, whose ancestral home is Quanzhou, Fujian, was stunned. Jia Z slapped him on the head and said: "What the hell! The underground river is coming! Run!!!"
Jia Z couldn't open his eyes, so he could only be supported by Zhou Ji and ran away in the direction he came from. As a result, the more he ran, the closer the sound behind him seemed. Zhou Ji was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat, and then turned his head to look in horror.
, I saw the turbulent underground river rushing towards the two people like a monster with teeth and claws.
Zhou Ji jumped immediately and said to Jia Z: "It's over, it's over! The underground river is catching up! What should I do?" Jia Z squinted and looked back after hearing this, but still couldn't see anything clearly.
He could only turn around and run wildly: "That's not right! Logically speaking, we should have arrived a long time ago! How did you lead the way?" Zhou Ji yelled: "How do I know which way? You led the way when I came here.
ah!"
When Jia Z heard this, he immediately wanted to kill Zhou Ji with a knife and cursed: "You kid, you don't know the way? Besides, you didn't tell me earlier! Now we don't even know where we are going!"
Zhou Ji yelled: "Then what should we do!" Jia Z slapped Zhou Ji on the head and said: "What should we do? Run! Run as soon as there is a road, what else can you do? How about you turn around and kill those secret
Have you drunk the river?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhou Ji stopped talking, gritted his teeth and ran crazily on two legs. Even Zhou Ji himself seemed to be unable to feel his legs.
, he turned his head and saw the underground river getting closer and closer, but suddenly he felt a surge of energy rushing up, pulling Jia Z and running desperately!
He didn't look where the road ahead was, he just ran as far as he could. Finally at a corner, Zhou Ji suddenly stopped and the two of them almost hit the wall in front of them!
Zhou Ji looked at the wall in front of him in horror and said: "How could it be a wall! How could it be a wall?" As he spoke, he stepped forward and patted the wall in front of him in disbelief. The cold and tactile feeling made Zhou Ji have to admit this reality.
, he led them to a dead end!
Listening to the surging underground river getting closer and closer behind him, Zhou Ji took a few steps back feebly. Jia Z gritted his teeth, pushed him away and said: "Get out of here!"
As he spoke, he stabbed the wall with the knife in his hand crazily. Zhou Ji looked behind him anxiously and said to Jia Z: "You said it yourself, this wall is paved with three layers of bricks! Or they are paved in a staggered manner!
How do you break it open?"
Jia Z ignored Zhou Ji and just smashed the wall in front of him crazily. He didn't want to die! At least he didn't want to die today! He didn't want to die here! There were still people waiting for him at home, his grand ambition and hegemony, and his beauty!
When you die, you really have nothing!
He didn’t want to die in this dark and damp underground culvert! This was not the way he wanted to die, not to mention that the person who died with him was a man!
Seeing that Jia Z ignored him, Zhou Ji could only look behind him anxiously, and then said to him: "Squat against the wall! If you are not washed away by the underground river, there may be hope of swimming out!"
Zhou Ji said and took off his belt, rushed forward and tied himself and Jia Z together. Jia Z pushed him away impatiently and said: "You go away! I don't want to die with you.
Son! I absolutely can’t die here! Absolutely! Not possible!!!”
With Jia Z's roar, the knife in his hand was stabbed in! Zhou Ji was stunned, and Jia Z was also stunned. The two of them stared at the knife on the wall. Zhou Ji was stunned.
Having tied himself and Jia Z tightly, the two grown men were pressed tightly together, staring blankly at the wall in front of them.
Suddenly Zhou Ji's pupils trembled, and he saw that the cracks on the wall began to gradually expand and crack. What frightened Zhou Ji was not this, but a drop of water dripping from the small crack.
Zhou Ji only had time to curse: "You bastard..." Before he could say anything else, a stream of water spurted out and sprayed on the two people!
The two people were rushed to the ground, and then the crack became bigger and bigger, and suddenly exploded! The raging underground river rushed out from the other end of the wall! The two people were suddenly knocked over by the surging underground river,
Then he was wrapped up in the surging undercurrent and disappeared...
……………
"ah…………"
Daiyu suddenly stood up and clutched her chest with a painful look on her face. The sisters were shocked when they saw this, and then stepped forward worriedly. Zijuan also stepped forward worriedly to support Daiyu and said: "Girl, are you okay? What's wrong with you?"
?”
Daiyu covered her chest and shook her head. Baochai stepped forward and asked slightly worriedly: "Are you tired? Do you want to sit down and take a rest?"
Daiyu's face turned slightly pale, and the sudden sharp pain in her heart made her unable to even breathe. At this time, it was as if her chest was pressed by a huge stone and she couldn't breathe.
Daiyu lowered her head and waited for a long time, then slowly shook her head and said: "I don't know what happened, but it suddenly happened like this, as if someone had pricked it with an awl, maybe it caused a loss of breath...
………”
Tanchun also said worriedly: "Why don't Sister Lin take a rest? There's nothing to rush about." Everyone also nodded worriedly in agreement.
Daiyu smiled with a slightly ugly look on her face and said, "It's okay, just take it easy and it'll be fine. I'm not made of porcelain. How can I be so precious?"
After saying that, he decided to leave. Seeing this, Baochai quickly advised: "Don't show off. If you really can't hold on anymore, take a break. In the past, you could even walk a few steps and you would be out of breath! Now, you can't.
That’s awesome!”
Daiyu smiled and said, "I won't do that now! Otherwise, let's give it a try! You are definitely not as good as me!" After saying that, regardless of Baochai's dissuasion, she went up the mountain first.
Baochai shook her head helplessly and could only say to the sisters: "Look at this girl! The more she talks about it, the more energetic she becomes! It seems like she is fighting with us! Follow us quickly, otherwise it will get worse in a while.
It’s like the reins are gone!”
The sisters also smiled when they heard this, and they were not too worried about Daiyu's physical condition. However, Daiyu, who was walking on the mountain road, became dazed again, with a pair of smokey eyebrows slightly frowning. The more she thought about it, the more she felt
Something is wrong, what Zicuckoo said last night came to mind again.
Second brother...could something happen?
Daiyu's heart is full of worries. She is very concerned about Jia Z's condition in the past few days. Not seeing Jia Z for a long time makes her extremely insecure. Due to the early death of her mother, she has lacked the care of blood relatives since she was a child. Daiyu herself
She is a girl who is insecure and sensitive.
Therefore, there was no private contact with Jia Z during this period, which made Daiyu already worried and depressed. She just kept sensible and advised herself that Jia Z might have been playing with her because he had official duties to be busy with.
She has to be busy with outside affairs and take care of such a big family. Jia Z has a heavy burden on her, so she has to be sensible and not pester Jia Z all the time. Jia Z is not just hers...
Wow~ Why do I get sadder and sadder the more I think about it...
Daiyu wiped the corners of her eyes. She had never wanted to see Jia Z so much and talk to him! Just talk!
Daiyu tried her best to calm down, and everyone arrived at the door of Cicui Temple in a short while. At this time, someone had already seen the Jia sisters visiting, so someone went in to report to Miaoyu.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Miaoyu also hurriedly came out and greeted everyone with a smile. The Jia sisters have a very good relationship with Miaoyu. They are both girls of similar age and status.
It's the same, they are all talented women.
Among them, Baochai Daiyu and Xichun both liked Miaoyu and were good friends with each other. The Jia sisters even dragged Miaoyu into the Haitang Poetry Society. Miaoyu heard that Jia Z was occasionally free.
When I was young, I would come to Haitang Poetry Society as a teacher to guide them in poetry writing, and I agreed with great interest.
Therefore, at this time, all the familiar people came up to say hello and chat. Daiyu smiled and said to Miaoyu: "I have been feeling restless these days, so I thought about worshiping Buddha and listening to scriptures. Who knew that when I said I wanted to come, they would
It's stuck on like a dog-skin plaster, and I can't even shake it off..."
After hearing this, everyone was "dissatisfied" and attacked Daiyu, but Daiyu had no intention of changing her words. Miaoyu smiled and said: "It has been raining these days, and people are agitated."
Yes, this is the time to meditate and straighten your mind.”
Daiyu smiled and nodded, and Miaoyu led everyone to have tea first. Everyone knew that Miaoyu's tea was excellent, so they all followed. Miaoyu's mind suddenly changed, and she led everyone there.
The main hall where I talked with Jia Z before.
Everyone sat down and Miaoyu ordered some tea sets and invited everyone to watch together. Baochai and Daiyu all liked Miaoyu's tea art very much. It looked pleasing to the eye, so they were all very attentive.
Tanchun, who was sitting opposite, glanced boredly and was attracted by the flying characters on the wall! He couldn't help but look at the wall blankly. Miaoyu glanced at Tanchun and said nothing.
At this time, Xichun also noticed something was wrong with Tanchun. Following Tanchun's line of sight, he couldn't help but see the poem on the wall. He got up and walked slowly towards the wall. Everyone couldn't help but be attracted by Xichun's movements.
Towards Xichun.
Baochai opened her mouth, but still didn't say anything to tell Xichun not to run around. However, she was attracted by Xichun's gaze and couldn't help but be stunned when she saw the words on the wall.
Miaoyu was obviously interested in Jia Z's calligraphy, and specially ordered someone to hang a gauze tent on it to prevent it from getting dusty.
: "This! This is my brother's handwriting!"
As he spoke, he turned to look at Miaoyu and said, "This is really written by my brother? How could he write poetry here?" Miaoyu smiled and nodded. Before she could say anything, Tanchun also ran away excitedly.
He went over and said to Miaoyu, "Can you uncover it and take a look?"
Miaoyu nodded, and Tanchun opened the gauze curtain. He couldn't help but admire it, and then he looked up in awe, and murmured: "I feel like visiting the mountain temple on a rainy night. Don't listen when you read."
The sound of beating leaves through the forest is why we are whistling and walking slowly. The bamboo stick and awning shoes are lighter than the horse. Who is afraid? You can live your whole life in the misty rain!"
"The cool spring breeze blows me away from my drunkenness, it's slightly cold, but I welcome the slanting light from the mountain top. Looking back to the desolate place I came from, there is no wind or rain...and no sunshine..."
Miaoyu smiled and said: "This is the calligraphy treasure left by Ninghou when he suddenly visited last night. It suddenly rained heavily and Ninghou had no place to take shelter. Then he ended up at our Cuicui Temple somehow."
Daiyu also looked at the poem in front of her with fascination, and the scene of Jia Z dressed in white and walking casually in the heavy rain suddenly appeared in her mind!
The anxiety that had always been in my heart was relieved a lot because of this. How could something happen to my second brother in such a state of mind? I thought it was just unfounded worries...
Baochai naturally admired Jia Z's poetic talent for a while, but Jia Z's poetic talent had long been obvious to all, so what really interested Baochai was Miaoyu on the side!
Baochai smiled and tried: "Second brother's visit to Caocui'an on a rainy night put Miss Miaoyu in a difficult situation. Please don't blame him. It's really a matter of urgency."
Miaoyu pursed her lips when she heard the words, and poured tea in her hands. She just shook her head. She didn't know why, but she was a little disgusted by Baochai's words. It seemed to tie Jia Z and her together, and Miaoyu was reborn.
The points are the same! It seems like Baochai is replacing Jia Z!
This made Miaoyu feel a little uncomfortable, so Miaoyu just said lightly: "It's nothing. I had a great chat with Ninghou. If Ninghou hadn't been busy with official business the next day, we would have talked at night by candlelight.
of."
This sentence disgusted Baochai! Even Daiyu, who didn't think anything was wrong at first, was shocked by this sentence and looked a little unnatural.
