Kirin family

A scholar dies for a confidant, and a woman tolerates a man who pleases her.

Qi Guanyan originally saw that Zhuang Shengyan was born and died for the Five Elements Sect for many years, wandering on the edge of life and death several times, and guarding a half-crazy lady like Lu Qianxing, who must have received some kind of great favor from the Five Elements Sect. En", it seems that the situation is far less turbulent than he imagined.

Qi Guanyan lowered his eyes, then raised his head and said to Zhuang Shengyan: "If we leave like this, you must not be easy to deal with, why don't you send me a message to Song Yan, although there is no treasure he wants in the Qilin Tomb, but the Qilin The aristocratic family has been standing for more than a hundred years, and the accumulated wealth is actually quite a lot. Qian Youcheng once told me, but I don't want to be here, so I didn't listen carefully... I vaguely remember the words "Phoenix Tower" , if he really wants it, let him go and look for the Phoenix Tower."

Zhuang Shengyan nodded: "I see, if you two want to take the secret path, just go."

Gu Ya suddenly said: "We are going through this secret path, I wonder if you will avoid it?" Zhuang Shengyan was taken aback for a moment, and then replied: "That's natural, I'm going to the second floor now."

Qi Guanyan glanced at Gu Ya curiously, but he couldn't quite understand the expression on Gu Ya's face.

Zhuang Shengyan stepped on the wooden stairs and went upstairs. He didn't know whether he was really bad in movement or to reassure Gu Ya. The sound of footsteps continued to the room at the end of the corridor, until there was a soft closing of the door. Voice.

Seeing Qi Guanyan looking at him with a half-smile, Gu Ya explained with some embarrassment: "We don't know his identity yet... If there is still contact with Song Yan, it's better to be on the safe side."

Qi Guanyan didn't say anything on the face, but he was a little touched in his heart. Gu Ya is not a person who cares about these things. He didn't understand the world at first, but now he is worried about the relationship between them. It really changes his conscience. Much, but it made him farther away from the rumored "cold heart".

"He just asked you that 73 children of the same family died on Qilin Mountain, but you only found 71 pieces of Qilin Armor." Gu Ya watched Qi Guanyan squatting on the ground, and wiped away the dust on the ground little by little, leaving the original The mark here is revealed: "You said that you haven't found the two pieces, one is Qi Guanli's, and the other is your own."

Qi Guanyan was focused on the mechanism of the secret passage, subconsciously nodded and said: "Yes, that's right."

This is true at first glance, after all, the two pieces of unicorn armor that are missing belong to their owners, but in fact they cannot withstand scrutiny.What Zhuang Shengyan said was that there were 73 disciples of the Qilin family who died on Qilin Mountain, but Qi Guanyan actually survived and has lived well until now. His Qilin armor should not be counted among those 73 people at all. middle.

"But what he's talking about is the 73 dead qilin armors of the descendants of the Qilin family. How can you... be counted in that?" Gu Ya asked very cautiously, fearing that he would step on some minefield of Qi Guanyan again.

Qi Guanyan paused his movements, took a breath and said, "So you were worried about this, I said why your expression is not right... Don't worry, the person in front of you is a living person, not some lonely ghost She... I didn't find my Qilin armor, do you remember what I told you before? I don't have a Qilin armor."

Gu Ya knew that he was unwilling to answer directly, so he had no choice but to squat down and look at the lines on the ground.

Tianyuan Inn used to be a very prosperous inn in Qilin Town. The children of the Qilin family would go down the mountain and walk in the rivers and lakes here. Many guests who visited Qilin Mountain would also choose to rest here. The information is also transmitted here, so before the Qilin family was destroyed, the Tianyuan Inn should be a very lively inn.

It can also be seen from the remaining things here that the tables and chairs that Qi Guanyan and Gu Ya sat on just now are all made of gold silk teak, presumably Zhuang Shengyan does not understand wood, otherwise the tables, chairs and benches left in the hall can be sold Paying a very high price, the floor inside the store is paved with a layer of stone slabs, all of which have engraved patterns, and the two stone slabs under the counter are engraved with the description of the secret channel mechanism.

The Qilin family has a great career, and naturally there are many enemies. This is to allow the disciples of the Qilin family to go to different halls to avoid disasters when they are in trouble. The patterns on it are also understood by people from the Qilin family. Although Qi Guanyan lived in Shannan since he was a child, Qian Youcheng also let him learn this code in case of emergency.

The original counter had already been demolished, and the big cabinet behind the counter was almost smashed, with only scattered pieces of porcelain remaining on it. In the gap on the ground, he tapped lightly on the lower wooden board of the cabinet, and then felt that the king of wooden boards went up. Inside were the 81 grids he was familiar with. He pressed another stone board on the ground. After pressing seven or eight wooden buttons in a row, the stone slab on the ground began to vibrate slightly.

Gu Ya couldn't help being stunned. Only now did he understand why Qi Guanyan was so confident, he didn't care at all whether Zhuang Shengyan was on the side or not. From his perspective, he could only see Qi Guanyan knocking on the bottom wooden board of the cabinet, and then he didn't know what to do. What, the stone slab on the ground sank by itself.

The groove of the wooden button is in the upper room at the bottom of the cabinet, and Qi Guanyan can't see the wooden button when he presses it, but this is a mechanism commonly used by Qi Guan's family, and it is not difficult for the Qi Guan family to operate.

The stone slab hadn't been moved for a long time. It made a lot of noise and splashed a lot of dust. It dropped about three inches, and then inserted into the stone wall beside the secret passage along the groove on one side. A square secret passageway was revealed.Seeing that the secret passage had been opened, Qi Guanyan couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, pulled his hand out of the groove, and closed the mechanism that initially covered the groove. , you can re-seal the secret passageway.

"Wait." Gu Ya suddenly said, "Don't come here."

Qi Guanyan was taken aback, he couldn't see clearly what was in the secret passage from his angle, all he could see was a dark entrance of the secret passage, so his first reaction was that someone was lying in ambush: "What's wrong? "

Gu Ya lowered his head and looked into the secret passage, then sighed and said, "You probably don't want to see it."

Qi Guanyan was taken aback, then slowly stood up, and walked behind Gu Ya, where he could clearly see what was in the secret passage.He couldn't stand it after just one glance, and he felt a chill at the thought of them going through this secret passage.

At the exit of the secret passage, there are dozens of corpses stacked together. It has been 20 years, and they can't even tell who they are. The clothes on their bodies can be seen as belonging to the Qilin family, and there is nothing else. remain.

The main disciples of the Qilin family and those with the red auspicious cloud mark on their bodies all died on the Qilin Mountain, and many more disciples from the outer sect and servants at home, many of them are missing.At that time, the four Qing guests of the Qilin family, Qian Youcheng, Qiu Mingyu, Jiang Yuan, and Zhu Xian, all escaped by chance. They hid in the granary on the wall of Qilin Mountain for more than half a month. His kung fu is excellent, he ventured into Qilin Villa several times to grab a lot of supplies, and survived the most difficult ten days.

The people who escaped from the secret path are not so lucky. I'm afraid these people don't know whether the secret path can be connected to the Qilin Tomb, but they found a secret path down the mountain and thought they could escape, but they never thought In this secret way, I survived to death.Since Zhou Yunfeng sneaked up the mountain by borrowing the Qilin Tomb at the foot of Qilin Mountain, he is naturally very familiar with the exits of several secret passages, and he should have been watched when he came here. If I don't go back, I'm afraid I'll starve to death here.

Qi Guanyan took a deep breath, and whispered to Gu Ya: "Let's go, owner."

Gu Ya saw that his mood was fairly stable, so he nodded and said, "Don't worry too much about it."

Qi Guanyan responded, tiptoedly avoiding the corpse lying by the wall, and walked down the middle of the road. When Gu Ya also followed, he stretched out his hand and pulled down the handle of the mechanism on the wall. The mechanism was already in the secret passage. Inside, it was naturally made conspicuous enough. He just pulled it lightly, and the upper stone slab moved out of the groove and slowly returned to the ground.

As soon as the stone slab returned to the ground, the whole secret passageway was brightly lit. There were oil lamps hanging on the walls on both sides. Qi Guanyan once saw it, and said that the fish oil was boiled with a kind of deep-sea fish, and it could last for a hundred years. Now it seems that Indeed.

"I reckon that this secret passage was blocked at the exit of Tianyuan Inn." Qi Guanyan stretched out his finger and pointed upwards: "Otherwise, people are going to starve to death, and they will try their best to get out."

Gu Ya nodded: "Then Zhou Yunfeng not only knows that there is a secret path under the Qilin Mountain, but also the special code of the Qilin Family?"

Qi Guanyan shook his head: "I don't think so... Although I don't want to admit it, but the Qilin family at that time probably had an inner ghost... Otherwise, Zhou Yunfeng couldn't have mastered all the secret ways to go up the mountain so easily - and he is different from ordinary people. What the disciples of the Qilin family mastered is different. It is a secret road extending in all directions. It must be that someone betrayed the Qilin family. It never occurred to Zhou Yunfeng to abandon him like a man, so he also died on Qilin Mountain. We don’t know who it is Became Zhou Yunfeng's accomplice."

Gu Ya pondered for a moment, then nodded and asked, "Does the disciple of the Qilin family know that there is a secret path in Qilin Villa that allows them to go down the mountain?"

Qi Guanyan was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "I know, it is impossible for the Qilin family to be unprepared for so many years, but no one knows where the secret path is, and no one knows where it leads."

"Does the people at Tianyuan Inn know that the secret road under their feet can go up the mountain?" Gu Ya asked again.

"I probably don't know..." Qi Guanyan hesitated for a moment: "In fact, most of the entrances and sub-rudders, and the ones under the counter are all secret rooms. They dug from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, and they must have dealt with a lot of people at that time, otherwise the secrecy would not have been so strict."

Gu Ya responded, and looked at Qi Guanyan: "Then how do these people know the secret path they are going to take, and how do they know where this secret path leads? If they accidentally discovered this secret path If they don’t know where the secret path leads to, they will definitely make full preparations, and if they don’t know that this is the foot of the mountain, they won’t be able to wait here until everyone around them is starved to death.”

Qi Guanyan looked at him with wide eyes: "What do you mean?"

Gu Ya nodded and said: "It must be one of these people who betrayed the Qilin family. This person should be the original shopkeeper of Tianyuan Inn. He accidentally discovered that this secret passage can lead to the mountain. This is a guarantee, wanting to protect the safety of my family, never thought that Zhou Yunfeng blocked this secret passage, they would not be able to get out, and there must be Zhou Yunfeng's people on the mountain, they had no choice but to wait to die in this secret passage. "

Qi Guanyan really didn't think so deeply, and was a little speechless for a while: "What... what?"

Gu Ya continued: "Do you still remember that there was a ranger who said that Tianyuan Inn was still the territory of the Qilin family? It must have been set up by Zhou Yunfeng. He is waiting for you here. It's a pity that you have never cared about these things until now Song It's been used in the past, but luckily we came here by coincidence, he wasn't ready yet."
