There was no shadow of Shen Huafeng nearby, Yu Jingnian didn't think he would check the surrounding situation first, and walked forward alone, but in the current situation, if not, then it is only possible that Shen Huafeng fell into some kind of trap , is now in a state of isolation.

Although this possibility is not completely impossible, but the experienced Shen Huafeng, would it?

"Where's the general?" Hua Yilian also found the same thing and asked suspiciously.

Seeing his reaction, Yu Jingnian became even more convinced that Shen Huafeng's disappearance was not unexpected, and an ominous premonition came to his mind, but he still pretended to be calm: "Maybe I went to explore the way, have you ever been to this tomb before? "

Hua Yilian glanced at Yu Jingnian with great contempt, "If you think about it, it's impossible. This tomb is only the robber's hole I made just now, which is very biased in the entire structure of the royal tomb. Normally, we official robbers are Go directly into the main tomb, aiming at the buried gold and silver treasures, and then diverge outwards. This time, because of this burden, it is very easy to be discovered if you enter the capital of King Yan, so I had to go to the capital of the king. The outer suburbs of the city, that is, this ear chamber comes in."

Yu Jingnian nodded, then pointed to the light spots on the wall with some puzzlement and asked, "Then what are these? Is it used for lighting in the royal tomb?"

Hua Yilian's dislike can no longer be described in words, and he scraped off an amber with a knife helplessly and said, "This is the fake seven-grass stone that General Shen showed you before. Although it is a fake, it is indeed genuine. The amber is priceless. It’s not a night pearl, so how can it emit light for lighting? It can only reflect light to make the tomb a little brighter. To put it bluntly, this is Gong Ziqing’s declaration of war on us tomb robbers, which means that he will Light up the tomb for you, and go forward to seek death as much as you want."

After finishing speaking, Hua Yilian threw the amber aside with disdain, and patted the dust on her hands.

"Then, is there really an ever-burning lamp made of shark oil in King Yan's tomb?"

"Of course there is. Although some people always think that there is no such thing, it's just because they don't believe that there are people in the world who can capture sharks. As for the fact that the long-burning lamp will go out by itself after burning for too long, such a large royal tomb has just started to be built. From time to time, several secondary vents will be designed to ventilate the craftsmen and escape after completion.”

Yu Jingnian seemed to understand, but then asked, "Then what should we do now?"

Hua Yilian was exhausted and out of breath because she had just dug the robbery hole, and she didn't have any time to rest, she looked a little decadent, she sat down with her butt against the wall, and waved her hands helplessly: "Just wait here General Shen, come back and look for us, otherwise you will run around..."

Before he finished speaking again, he heard a terrifying noise of gears meshing and turning.Hua Yilian, whose reaction was slowed down due to exhaustion, fell into the trap of the king's tomb before she could get up, and was pushed to the tomb at the back by the turning stone wall without even screaming.

Seeing this, Yu Jingnian immediately stepped forward to grab Hua Yilian, but it was already too late.When he stepped over, the stone wall was closed, and there was not even a trace of movement.Yu Jingnian immediately knocked on the stone wall with his hands, but he couldn't even hear the sound, which is enough to show how thick the stone wall is.It wasn't something that sound could penetrate, let alone something he could break with his bare hands.

Yu Jingnian didn't know what to do next, so he asked Chu Jiuge behind him. The latter kept silent, not because he didn't want to talk, but because his ears hurt so badly that he had no time to think about anything else.

"Jiuge, what should we do now?"

Chu Jiuge felt more and more that his hearing was declining, and he couldn't even hear what Yu Jingnian was saying clearly, so he said loudly, "Say it again, I can't hear clearly."

Only then did Yu Jingnian realize that it was not at 01:30 that the situation was so bad. Shen Huafeng disappeared, Hua Yilian fell into a trap, and Chu Jiuge was temporarily blind and deaf. He was left alone and unable to climb up. Burglary.

How can this be good?

After hearing Yu Jingnian's description with his last sense of hearing, Chu Jiuge immediately asked, "What was written on the stone wall?"

Yu Jingnian looked back, a little puzzled: "Is...a human face? I feel the expression is a bit mocking, the mouth is a notch, there should be something embedded in it."

"That's it!" Chu Jiuge exclaimed, "Shen Huafeng who came down first must have seen the Qishi on the stone wall! Because there is a herb in the Qishi, called Yemingcao, which can emit a faint green light in the dark, so He was going to take down the Qishi, but he didn't want to touch the mechanism. If he didn't wander around, he should be with Hua Yilian now."

Yu Jingnian felt reasonable when he heard the words, so he asked, "Then should we go to them now?"

Chu Jiuge let out a "huh", then covered his ears and stopped talking, there were bright red blood flowing out between his fingers, he could feel the moistness, and knew that he was about to lose his hearing.

Yu Jingnian had mixed feelings in his heart. He really hated the feeling of being alone and helpless. Last time, he lost Chu Jiuge when he was powerless in the Wei Gong battle. Could it be that this time, he will lose him again? ……

Yu Jingnian shook his head, trying to put those wild thoughts behind him, the most important thing now is to find Shen Huafeng and Hua Yilian, otherwise they will all be in danger.

Yu Jingnian cautiously entered the corridor, and alertly used stones to open the way and threw them on the ground to make sure there were no traps before he dared to move forward.His hands were always protecting the bamboo basket behind him, instead of standing in front of him, for fear of accidentally hurting Chu Jiuge.

Yu Jingnian is becoming less and less confident about the way forward. He doesn't expect to find Shen Huafeng and Hua Yilian in this kind of royal tomb that is more complicated than a maze. The three-legged cat with a blind man is stronger. He is not worried about their safety, but how can he protect Chu Jiuge in this unknown tomb full of traps.

While thinking like this, Yu Jingnian lost his mind for a moment and stepped on a movable stone slab. He immediately felt that something was wrong, and his first reaction was to push Chu Jiuge to a safe place.But the narrow corridor didn't allow him to turn around. He could only watch a black object approaching above him, but he was helpless.

Just when he closed his eyes and was about to receive a heavy blow, a pair of hands suddenly blocked the black object for him. Yu Jingnian looked puzzled, and it turned out to be Chu Jiuge!

Standing in the bamboo basket behind Yu Jingnian, Chu Jiuge was half a body taller than Yu Jingnian, so naturally he could use more strength than Yu Jingnian.It's just that he really didn't expect that Chu Jiuge would recover his vision at this critical moment and block the blow for him.

Chu Jiuge pushed the black object aside, and then he escaped, squatting halfway in the bamboo basket, panting heavily.

Yu Jingnian immediately went to see his condition, only to find that Chu Jiuge had a small, red and swollen scratch on the corner of his eye, which was scratched by a fingernail.

It turned out that Chu Jiuge, who had lost his hearing and had not yet fully recovered his vision, realized how troublesome it is to lose both senses at the same time in this life-and-death situation, and even rubbed his eyes to moisten them with bloodshot eyes. Restore vision to meet urgent needs.

Yu Jingnian felt his nose sore, he untied the cloth belt wrapped around his body, turned around and hugged Chu Jiuge tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to melt him into the bone marrow.

Chu Jiuge was a little frightened, not only the fright that he blocked the blow for Yu Jingnian just now, but also the fright that Yu Jingnian lost his composure. He was a little at a loss as he let Yu Jingnian press his head on his shoulder and was forced to accept That forced hug.

The feeling... isn't bad either.

I don't know when it started, Chu Jiuge yearned very much for someone to treat him sincerely and hug him tightly.

This kind of hug is not the kind of hug full of lust, nor the kind of persuasion and comfort, but a hug that can let him entrust him wholeheartedly.

Chu Jiuge felt that it was such a hug that he had waited for 20 years...

Yu Jingnian had already burst into tears and choked with sobs. He didn't know how he, a man of seven feet and a former general protecting the country, could cry so ugly like a child.He didn't even know why.

Because the silent dedication has finally paid off?Or the comfort of a loved one from death?Or maybe both.

Like this, Yu Jingnian leaned into Chu Jiuge's ear and said over and over again: "I love you...Jiu Ge, I love you..."

Even if he knew that Chu Jiuge couldn't hear it... no, it was precisely because Chu Jiuge couldn't hear it that he was able to boldly speak out about the longest backlog of love in his heart.

Of course Chu Jiuge couldn't hear it. According to folk superstition, his ears were taken away by the errant.But he could feel the warmth of the clothes on his shoulders, which was the result of dripping and penetrating tears.

Chu Jiuge knew that Yu Jingnian was a pitiful person just like him, otherwise he would not have chosen him to take on the important role of saving him from his confusion.

Chu Jiuge patted Yu Jingnian on the shoulder, indicating that he should sort out his emotions, then got up, walked to the black object, and checked what it was.

Stretching out his hand to lift off the gray cloth covering it, Chu Jiuge was so frightened that he almost sat on the ground, and stepped back quickly to relieve the violent heartbeat.

Seeing his appearance, Yu Jingnian immediately leaned over to take a look. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a mummy with a severely dehydrated face, like a piece of rotten wood.

Although it was normal to encounter dead bodies in places like mausoleums, they were caught off guard and unable to adapt for a while.

While Yu Jingnian and Chu Jiuge were concentrating on studying the mummy, the latter felt a cold sensation on his neck, and a slightly cynical male voice asked, "Have you seen enough?"
