Refinement

That old man Ji Daoxian planned many years in advance to build such a large labyrinth and secret room underground.Deliberately arrange the room in a similar way to deal with unexpected guests.But he did not count the number of these uninvited guests, enough to fill his maze.When Su Yulian thought of this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This was not the time to be happy. Everyone was groping in the connected rooms, unable to find the right way out for a while.Although Liu Ying came here once, she couldn't tell which direction was right.Su Yulian's inappropriate smile happened to be seen by Liu Guang, who opened his mouth and said, "Young Master, have you found your way?"

Su Yulian was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "I just think that the owner of Jixin Valley has set up so many secret rooms, and they can't stop the trouble. He hasn't considered the issue of the way out yet."

Liu Guang: "Then according to what the young master wants, how should we go at this time?"

The two purple-clothed women beside Fushan did not move around at will, but stood in place, quietly distinguishing the sound. The white-clothed swordsman who had just passed by had disappeared at this time, so he must have found a good way. will be wrong.The woman in purple made a report like Fushan when she had determined her direction. Fushan just nodded when she heard the words, waiting for Su Yulian to answer.

Su Yulian scratched his head: "I guess there are hundreds of ways in this secret room, and there should be hundreds of ways to go. If I were the owner of the valley, I would definitely leave a few more back roads for myself, so as to confuse intruders and at the same time keep myself free to come and go , no matter which road you take, you will probably end up with the same goal, but the distance is different. It’s better for everyone to split up and explore independently, and someone will always go the right way.”

Fushan was about to separate from Su Yulian, so he quickly expressed his agreement and said, "I will go with Luohou."

Murong Yan grabbed Su Yulian and said, "I'll go with you."

Su Yulian nodded: "There are still two teams left." The two purple-clothed women were in charge of protecting the princess, so naturally they didn't want to go alone. The rest were the ten quacks brought by Luo Xian and the twelve guards brought by Fushan.

Liu Jian hesitated for a while and said, "The five of us, brothers and sisters, can go together."

No one answered, Liu Ying looked at Luo Xian and said, "Liu Ying can walk alone."

Liu Jian: "Then the five of us brothers and sisters can be divided into two parties, and I will go with Liu Ying."

Liu Guang hugged Liu Jiang and Liu smiled and said, "Then it happens that the three of us are walking together."

What Luo Xian was worried about was Su Yulian. He was sick, and it was uneasy to bring a woman with him. Murong Yan seemed to see his worry.He smiled and said, "It's rare to be able to be alone with my husband, Lord Hou chooses to go all the way first."

Fushan guides the way, and pulls Luo Xian away.Su Yulian explained to Liu Jian and others a few things to pay attention to, and also chose a room at random and walked in.There are new forks in the new room, how to go is up to personal choice, even if you go back to the original place in a twists and turns, you still have to continue walking on your own.

Liu Ying looked at Liu Jian and said, "Liu Guang is good at kung fu and easy to use his brain, just let her go."

Liu Jian had long felt that Liu Ying was a bit weird, so he didn't want to let him go alone, so he said, "Didn't you come here before, I'll follow you to save trouble."

Knowing that Liu Ying couldn't squeeze him, she said with a cold face, "I don't want to be burdensome."

Liu Jian was speechless, and he also found that Liu Ying's steps were much lighter than before, and he couldn't even figure out what Liu Ying's next move was when he made a move.The five of them practiced together since they were young and knew each other in detail, but after walking together for this period of time, Liu Jian had to admit that he could no longer figure out Liu Ying's martial arts.

Liu Xiao laughed: "What's so difficult about it, let the light go with the shadow, and the sword go with us."

Liu Jian silently walked towards a room, and Liu Guang was pushed into the remaining room. Liu Xiao and Liu Jiang were left waiting for Liu Ying to choose. They could feel that Liu Ying had become stronger, but they were unwilling to let him take the risk alone. "Helping each other, advancing and retreating together." It was their sworn oath when they were children, and it is also their creed today.

Liu Jian waited in the room for a long time, regretting that he was too persistent.But after a while, seeing it was Liu Ying who came in, he was in a good mood, laughed and said: "You said what were you looking for just now! Finally, stay with me!"

"Liu Xiao's work is so-so. I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to handle it, so I let them stay with Liu Guang. You are still a burden."

Liu Jian pretended not to hear, and groped around: "This kind of wall made of stones is actually built manually, it seems that the old man took a lot of thought."

Liu Ying nodded and said: "Don't move, Shi Xiaoyu once told her subordinates not to move anything in the room at will. I guess every room has a mechanism to control the maze and change the route. Go to the front room first. Feel for it when you're on the road."

Liu Jian didn't intend to use his brain at first, he just wanted to follow Liu Ying.Seeing that Liuying was confident at this time, he said, "Did you see the mechanism hidden here when you came last time?"

Liu Ying said: "Shi Xiaoyu is very familiar with this place. I haven't seen her touch anything, but she can find a way to the outside without any obstruction in any direction. Even if there are hidden mechanisms, I don't think so. Use it on her."

Liu Jian nodded, took the sword and made a mark on the ground: "Let's go, go and see first, go according to your feeling." Anyway, Liu Ying's experience of following Shi Xiaoyu for a day and a night cannot be wasted!The two walked in the same direction and made marks on the ground at any time. On the surface, it seemed to be going well, at least they didn't go back to the room where the mark was made.

However, the rooms separated by the stone wall are almost similar in layout, connected one after another, as if there is no repetition, and it seems to be repeated all the time.And these rooms seem to welcome them so gently, there are no hidden weapons, no traps, just repeating similar appearances.So he fell into a maze, and there was always an unmarked room in front of him, as if he couldn't finish marking it.As time passed, Liu Jian finally couldn't bear his temper, leaned against the stone wall and said: "I'm exhausted, I won't go!"

Liu Ying didn't seem to be in a hurry, she sat on the stone bed to rest.Liu Jian stared at him and complained: "Why do I feel that you don't want to look for it, and you are wandering around with me!"

Liu Ying didn't deny it, and said casually, "Maybe."

"Maybe?!" Liu Jian dissatisfied, "You are talking more and more like a young master now, look! Your expression is very similar to him!" Liu Jian did not want to protect Su Yulian from the bottom of his heart. In order to protect Su Yulian, Ying is often sent out alone. The current change in Liuying's temperament may be due to Su Yulian!

Thinking of Su Yulian's cunning look in front of him, Liu Ying was a little curious about Liu Jian's opinion.He said, "What kind of person do you think the young master is?"

Liu Jian pursed his lips, carefully pondering his words: "He! He has a good appearance, a good temper, poor health, likes to read books, and he can't feel the eyes of others staring at him at all! Maybe he doesn't care, because of amnesia At that time, the reaction was also very flat, a little bit hidden, but thinking that he will die soon, he is just a poor man."

Liu Ying nodded, and whispered to himself: "Poor people—so there must be something hateful about poor people, and hateful people are also very pitiful."

Liu Jian stood up, with a distressed expression on his face: "I thought I could take the shortest path by following you, but it turned out that I overestimated you."

He remembered Liu Ying saying that he was a burden, and he couldn't help complaining: "You didn't look for it seriously because I was here, so it proves that I am a burden!"

Liu Ying smiled: "It's good to be a burden. If I'm not around in the future, you have to listen to Liu Guang. If Liu Guang gets married, you can live in seclusion with Liu Jiang and Liu Xiao. Our money is almost saved , this time no matter what the result is, you must leave the Hou Mansion and stay away from the officialdom."

Seeing that Liu Ying was suddenly so deep, Liu Jian felt a small drum beating in his heart, and Liu Ying's words were clearly explaining his funeral.Liu Jian said anxiously: "Why are you saying this all of a sudden? Are you planning to separate from us? I know that you are good at martial arts and that you have a secret—but what you said is wrong. You don't need to explain anything. You make an appointment with us. Let's stay together forever—”

"Well - just treat me as nonsense, I know you are not stupid, you will understand later." Su Yulian said when he killed Shangguannan that greed and arrogance were never the fault of others.Although Liu Ying was far away, he clearly heard these words.Think about it carefully, among the people in the company, is there anyone who is not greedy and arrogant? Whether the mistakes these people have committed themselves, like Shangguan Nan, will have to pay a huge price.

Liu Jian didn't want to discuss this further, as if the more he talked, the farther Liu Ying would be from him.So he stood up straight away, took Liu Ying's hand, picked a door opening at random, and slipped through.

Finally saw a new scene, there is no stone bed, only jagged rocks, like a real cave, with fine water flowing from the cracks in the rocks.Liu Jian couldn't restrain his excitement, took a deep breath of cool air and said, "Finally found a place that is not too heavy, do you have any impression of this?"

Liu Ying stared at the fine water oozing from the crevices of the stones, and suddenly remembered that he had been neglecting something, that is, where Shi Xiaoyu was, it seemed that there was water in every room, some water was small and slow and easy to be ignored, and some water The turbulent and thick forms the scenery, but these waters are like marks, running through the entire secret room.Liu Ying suddenly opened his eyes, and said with a smile: "First go back to the original room and see if there is any running water."

The two returned to the original room. Liu Jian hollowed out the stone cave from the side of the stone bed and found a small stream, which shuttled between the broken stones, burrowed into the crevices of the stones, and led into the ground.Liu Ying said: "If the direction of the flowing water is the direction of the exit, then we can find the source of water by going upstream, which is the center of the secret room, where Shi Xiaoyu is!"

"How did you get out?"

"I'm going out with Shi Chengqiu, he's going to find Li Chengmao."
