across mountains and seas

The two exchanged glances, and Jing Lan walked to the wall lamp with her sword in hand, and turned the wall lamp.

After hearing a few "clucks" from the locomotive, the mechanism pulled by the wall lamp began to rotate, and one of the stone walls in the [Organ Tomb] turned over.

This is just an ordinary stone room in the [Organ Tomb], and inside it are bamboo slips engraved with the art of casting soldiers.Because bamboo is easy to rot, Jing specially set up a stone room to store these bamboo slips.

This is actually not a secret in the [Organ Tomb], after all, the guards of the Jing family guarding the [Organ Tomb] know the existence of this stone room.

The more ordinary a place is, the easier it is to hide secrets.

The game that Jing Lan and Liu Xi set up took advantage of this kind of thinking.

After Liu Xi walked into the stone room, she subconsciously raised her eyes to take a look at the top - there was a star picking net on it, and as long as that person dared to come in, he would not be able to escape from this star picking net.

Jing Lan went straight to the bamboo slip bookshelf, pretending to be looking for something.

Liu Xi walked over and asked, "Alan, what are you looking for?" While speaking, she almost pricked up her ears to listen to every move outside.

Apparently people entered the outer room of [Organ Tomb].

Even though the man walked very gently, Liu Xi still caught his subtle voice.

"You're not qualified to watch." Jing Lan purposely sneered.

On the contrary, Liu Xi became interested and moved closer, "I'm your sister-in-law..." As she spoke, she gave Jing Lan a look, and looked over the bamboo slip bookshelf from the corner of her eye.

The person who came was a man with a slightly bowed waist, which seemed to be a little hunchbacked.

Liu Xi was not idle during this time of recuperation. She asked Aunt Hong to bring Jing's roster from Mr. Chen, and secretly wrote down all the people on the roster while flipping through it.

In Haicheng, there are only two types of people with hunchbacks, one is the one who forged sharp weapons in the casting platform for a long time, and the other is the elderly.

There are no more than a dozen people on the roster who meet this point.

If he didn't catch this person today, Liu Xi would know who to start with and track him down to the end.

Jing Lan spoke harshly, "So what?" While speaking, she turned around and looked at the man who entered the stone room——through the gap between the slips, she could only see the man's old eyes, and suddenly smiled at this side.

wrong!

That person seemed to know that this was a game!

Jing Lan didn't feel well, the figure flickered, and raised his hand to smash a stone sculpture by the door of the stone room.

Jing Lan and Liu Xi felt that their feet were suddenly empty, and the stone slabs on the ground collapsed.

The swords and swords were unsheathed together, and they wanted to nail them into the stone wall to slow down the falling momentum of the two of them, but no matter whether it was a sword or a sword, hitting the stone wall was like hitting hard iron that was hard to break through, not to mention it couldn't go in, even My hands were numb from the shock.

It doesn't matter if it can't poke into the stone wall, the sharp edge is more like scraping the frozen ice deep in the East China Sea, and it makes two piercing and sharp sounds.

Fortunately, the place where it fell was not high.

It's just that Liu Xi's injuries haven't healed, and when she staggered to the ground, her wounds were so painful.After slowing down, she covered the wound on her heart and let out a series of violent coughs.

There was a huge grinding sound of stone slabs on the top, and the falling light was instantly cut off by the restored stone slabs.

The square inch of land under the stone chamber was instantly plunged into darkness.

Jing Lan withdrew her long sword, took out the fire pocket from her pocket, and after blowing it on, held the fire pocket and looked around here in the dim light.

Jing Lan grew up in Haicheng since she was a child, and she has traveled to every corner of Haicheng.After becoming the head of the family, holding the keys to all the secret rooms in Haicheng, Jing Lan quietly searched all the secret rooms.

She never knew that there was such a grotto under the stone room with the bamboo slips, and even before her father disappeared, she never mentioned that there was such a mechanism in the stone room.

The flame on the fire folder swayed slightly, causing the light and shadow to flicker.

Since there is wind in this grotto, there must be another exit.

Jing Lan took a closer look, and found that the stone wall was made of Haiqing talc, which was considered to be the strongest part of Haicheng's foundation.Not to mention Jingyue, even the best cold iron weapon in the world can't pierce this Haiqing talc.

As a member of the Jing family, I didn't know there was such a place in the Jing family.

It's ridiculous.

Jing Lan turned her head to look at Liu Xi, whose cough had subsided a little, and said in a deep voice, "You... are you not hurt?"

"It's okay, cough cough." Liu Xi covered her heart and coughed twice more, which seemed to be her recovery.She took advantage of Jing Lan's flashlight to take a glance here, "What is this place?"

"I don't know." Jing Lan replied truthfully.

Liu Xi was a little surprised.

Jing Lan said seriously: "If I knew there was such a trap here, how could I be so stupid as to stand on the trap and wait for someone to trigger the mechanism?"

Liu Xi smiled lightly, "This ghost seems to be an old man of your Jing family."

At least, this ghost didn't come in from the outside in the past few years.

As long as you can leave here, the scope of the search can be further narrowed.

Jing Lan took a deep breath. If it was an old man, the identification mechanism must be quite capable. The decorations she made in the past few days fell into the eyes of the inner ghost, just like a child running a house wine.

The class door makes an axe.

Liuxi walked along the grotto with the handle of Jingyue's knife and knocked. After walking around, she stopped at a place where the sound was different, and listened carefully by sticking to the stone wall.

"There's still a gap behind this."

Jing Lan approached this stone wall, knocked a few times, and there was a "dong dong".

From the sound, the gap behind is not small.

It is futile to break the stone wall here, presumably there is a mechanism to open it here.

"Give me the fire pocket." Liu Xi took the fire pocket from her hand, and searched around the stone wall again, but found nothing unusual.

Instead, it smelled dangerous.

"What time is it?" Liu Xi suddenly turned around and asked Jing Lan.

Jing Lan made up her mind, "After midnight."

Liuxi stomped her feet twice, and the sea water entered the ground at some point, "After high tide, will this place be submerged by sea water?" As she spoke, she paid special attention to the years-old water stains on the stone wall, at least they stood This place must be submerged by sea water.

Jing Lan realized the danger of the matter, "I can only find the mechanism quickly!"

This is the only thing they can do.

The sea water seemed to rise very fast, and the two groped around in the grotto three times, but the sea water had already reached their knees.

Jing's organ technique, adapting to local conditions, has infinite changes.

Liu Xi didn't learn the lesson well in her previous life, but she has truly learned it in this life.

This grotto uses the stone wall as a prison, leaving small holes for the seawater to seep in, and those who fall are afraid that they will be drowned by the seawater alive.The corpse soaked in seawater is extremely smelly. If the corpse is not cleaned up, the smell of the rotting corpse will definitely waft out.Liu Xi thought back to the ground she looked at when she came down, there was no trace of rotting corpses, and there was no smell of corpses here either.

Either they were the first to fall into this trap, or there would be other places here to dig out the corpses.

Haicheng has been built for hundreds of years, it is impossible that no one has ever been hit.

Therefore, there must be a hole here to dig out the corpse.

Just as Liu Xi was contemplating, Jing Lan stepped on the stone wall with her legs left and right, and climbed up for a while. She lowered her head and shouted at Liu Xi: "Give me the fire pocket!"

Liu Xi knew that she must have discovered something, so she immediately threw the fire bag away.

Jing Lan caught Huozhezi and approached the stone wall.

On the stone wall is a half-carved unicorn head, Jing Lan is not in a hurry to touch it, "If there is a mechanism..."

"I won't drag you down." Liu Xi seemed to know what Jing Lan was worried about, and opened her mouth in a serious voice.

Jing Lan didn't talk too much, she pinpointed the position of Qilin's head, and struck hard with the hilt of her sword.

The unicorn's head shattered instantly, and the locomotive rattled.

Jing Lan vigilantly guarded against possible hidden arrows around her, and the dim light of Huozhezi could only faintly illuminate the square inch of her body.

The sea water under my feet suddenly poured down, and I don't know where it went.

Liu Xi only felt a tremor in the soles of his feet, and the stone wall that had been knocked loudly just now opened a hole, and a faint yellow candlelight penetrated.

Outside the stone wall, there is no smell of blood, sea water, or rancidity.

The calmer it was, the more vigilant Liu Xi was.

Seeing that the stone wall was opened, Jing Lan jumped down, blew out the fire pocket, and put it away carefully.

The grotto fell into darkness again.

Jing Lan stood in front of the stone opening, looking at a long stone path outside - the light source came from the only remaining mermaid lamp on the wall, the light and shadow of the stone path were dim, and I don't know where it leads?

Liuxi poked out the startled moon, and struck left and right at the gap to make sure that there were no traps set on both sides, and then stepped out of the gap with peace of mind.

Jing Lan followed her out with a solemn expression.

The place where the stone path leads should be the ulterior secret place of Haicheng.Her father never mentioned that her elder brother, like her, had no idea of ​​the existence of this place.

Jing Lan's vest suddenly felt cold.

The inner ghost knew that there was this place, and deliberately touched the mechanism to let them find it. Is it to kill them, or to let them help take out the things inside?

At the beginning, Wei Jianbai wanted to blow up the [Organ Tomb], maybe he got the news of this secret place from the inner ghost.

"Willow Creek."

Jing Lan called Liu Xi, and asked in a cold voice, "How much does the Liu family know about Haicheng?"

Liu Xi also wanted to know the answer to this question.

Wei Jianbai brought the layout map of the organs in his previous life, who gave it to him, Liu Xi has never been able to find out.If it is really the inner ghost of the Liu family in Xishan, she was still the daughter of the Liu family in her previous life, so why not give it to her first?Therefore, although she said that the inner ghost came from the Xishan Liu family, she believed that the inner ghost should be other forces in the Jianghu.

This person is really not simple.

To be able to mix in Haicheng for decades, to be able to draw the layout of Haicheng, to know that there is such a secret place hidden here... Liu Xi couldn't help shivering, and she quickly thought of another thing.

Liu Su's weight was known to Liu Xi, even if she was reborn, she would not have such abilities.

There must be someone behind Liu Su, and that person is the real master of this ghost!

"If I say I don't know, can you trust me?" Liu Xi replied truthfully.

Jing Lan looked at Liu Xi quietly.

Liu Xi looked at each other frankly.

The dim light of the mermaid lamp cast on Liu Xi's face, the dim light swayed slightly, and the shadow of the candlelight danced on her distinct facial features, perhaps she had coughed for a long time just now, at this moment, it seemed that her cold and beautiful face added a touch of Just the right amount of cream.Her eyes were as bright as torches, without any hypocrisy, without any guilt, and more of a sincerity that Jing Lan had never seen in her previous life.

"Aunt Hong, you all treated me very well. You may not believe it. I have lived 18 years in this life. This is the first time..." As the frost faded, Liu Xi smiled slightly, "I believe that the word 'home' is It's warm."

Jing Lan felt dazed, and felt a slight chill in her heart.

Liu Xi in her previous life was very much like a bloodthirsty Shura who came out of hell, with a strong murderous aura radiating from her whole body.There seemed to be something wrong with her in this life, but Jing Lan couldn't tell.

"Thus, those who hurt the Jing family will die." Liu Xi firmly said this sentence, she didn't care whether Jing Lan believed it or not, she kept what she said in her heart.

Jing Lan smiled sadly.

Liu Xi didn't understand the sarcasm in Jing Lan's smile, she thought Jing Lan thought of her brother again.

This life is indeed something she cannot give back to Jing Lan in this life.

Liu Xi always thought that Jing Lan, a little girl, would treat her better in the future, and that she might accept her one day.But now it seems that Jing Duo's death will lie between her and her, like a gap, when will it be crossed?

In fact, what stands between her and her is not only Jing Duo's death?

It's just that Liu Xi doesn't know at this time that Jing Lan is alone in a sea of ​​ups and downs.

Jing Lan didn't want to talk about this with Liu Xi anymore, at least this wasn't the time to settle accounts.She raised her sword and looked towards the end of the stone path, "Let's go." Then, she walked vigilantly towards the end of the stone path.

"Okay." Liu Xi nodded, looking at Jing Lan's back, she suddenly had a thought - Jing Lan was not like a 16-year-old girl.

But after another thought, Jing Lan is now the Patriarch of the Jing family. If she has been trapped in the ignorance of the 16-year-old, how can she take up the burden of the Patriarch?

It was indeed difficult for her.

Liu Xi sighed softly, she quickened her pace and walked side by side with Jing Lan, at least as long as she is a sister-in-law, she will help her for a day.
