across mountains and seas

Liu Xi seemed to notice that Jing Lan was looking at her, she suddenly opened her eyes, looked at her sideways with a half-smile, and asked lightly, "Am I hideous?"

Jing Lan was shocked, her inexplicable guilt made her dare not look at Liu Xi's eyebrows, she turned her head away, pretending not to know what she meant, "I don't know what you mean."

Liu Xi did not continue to pierce Jing Lan's guilty conscience, but said slowly: "I am actually the same as you..."

"Who is the same as you!" For some reason, Jing Lan felt that Liu Xi's words had other meanings, and she didn't dare to let her continue, "Don't disturb the elder brother!"

"That's right." Liu Xi stood up suddenly, brushing the wrinkles on her body.

Jing Lan had to turn her head to look at her, "What are you going to do?"

"Shhh." Liu Xi gestured to her, glanced at Jing Duo's coffin, and seemed to reply Jing Lan's words back intact - don't disturb the elder brother.

Jing Lan could only hold back her words and watched Liu Xi walk out of the mourning hall.

"Sister-in-law, it's not yet dawn."

"Where are you going?"

Jing Tan and Jing Yuan lowered their voices and asked in a low voice.

"Pray for peace of mind."

Liu Xi left these words indifferently, and then walked towards the [Organ Tomb].

She thought about a lot of things quietly just now, she and Jing Duo fought with the eighteen Shura guards for a long time, Wei Jianbai should have stayed in the [Organ Tomb] for a long time.If he wanted to set fire to it, he would have set it as soon as he entered the 【Organ Tomb】, how could he wait until the eighteen Asura guards were all dead before doing it.

In his previous life, when Wei Jianbai showed her the layout of Haicheng, he specifically noted the location of the [Organ Tomb].

Liu Xi remembered that Wei Jianbai said at that time that this is the most important place in the entire Dongjing Clan, and every book on mechanism techniques inside is a treasure, if you can get it, it will be like adding wings to a tiger.Therefore, Wei Jianbai specifically stated at that time that when the Jing family was attacked, the firearms designed by Liu Xi could be used as long as they could be used.

How can Wei Jianbai burn the place that is so important?

Although she and Wei Jianbai were a couple in the same bed and different dreams in the previous life, they somehow understood this person's nature.If he can't achieve his goal, how can he give up?

The eighteen Asura guards could lurk in Haicheng for many days without anyone noticing, and Wei Jianbai could also go back and forth, taking advantage of Jing's attention being on Liuxi to seek his own plan.

If so, no one in Haicheng is safe.

This is a danger for the Jing family, and it is also an opportunity for Liu Xi to gain the trust of the Jing family.

If you want to rely on the Jing family to do great things, you must first master the Jing family.

Liu Xi soon came to the [Organ Tomb], the fire inside had been extinguished, and Aunt Hong was ordering people to deal with the mess inside.

Seeing Liu Xi coming at first, she was quite surprised, "Xi'er, aren't you watching the spirit?" She looked slightly sideways, and saw Jing Lan quietly following her.

Liu Xi knew that Jing Lan had been quietly following her, after all, it was Jing Lan's elder brother who died, and Jing Lan didn't believe her the most, so Liu Xi could understand.

"Aunt Hong, I want to go in and take a look." Liu Xi said directly.

Aunt Hong hesitated for a moment.

Liu Xi straightened her sleeves on purpose, indicating that she didn't bring any weapons.

Although Jing Duo left tonight, Liu Xi is still the main wife of the Patriarch of the Jing family. After all, before a new Patriarch is elected, she should be in charge of these matters.

"It's messy inside, the floor is wet and slippery, be careful." Aunt Hong could only tell her this.

"Yeah." Liu Xi raised her skirt slightly, and quickly walked into the 【Organ Tomb】.

Before stepping here, Liu Xi thought that Jing's [Organ Tomb] was the same as Xishan Liu's [Tibetan Hall], they were all bookcases, and if a fire burned them, they would all be burnt to ashes.

But Liu Xi realized that she was wrong.

The layout of [Organ Tomb] is completely different from that of [Tibetan Palace].

Here, the grids for storing books have been carved out according to the cold stone wall of Dali, and several stone boxes are neatly placed on each grid.Stone is the most difficult to melt, and if you store the books of institutions in it, if it catches fire, it will not be damaged.

"Young Madam."

Seeing Liu Xi walking in, the cleaning boys bowed respectfully to her—although she looked unfamiliar, one could tell from the snow-colored mourning dress she was wearing that she should be Jing Duo’s new wife tonight .

"What's that?" Liu Xi's gaze finally fell on several copper pipes protruding from the stone wall, and water was still dripping from the mouth of the copper pipes.

Before the boys could answer, Jing Lan answered first, "This is a mechanism for extinguishing fires. We call them Yinlong."

Liu Xi carefully looked at the direction of the copper pipes, it looked like hundreds of twisted copper dragons curled up on the algae well of the [Organ Tomb].She thought, there must be a machine stick here, when the fire is burning, the machine stick will be flicked, and a hundred hidden dragons will spit water at the same time, and the fire inside will be extinguished.

What's more wrong!

Liu Xi clearly remembered that the flames were soaring in the sky at that time, if Yinlong played a role, how could there be such a big fire?

She sniffed it carefully, walked quickly to the stone cabinet in the southeast corner with the heaviest scorched marks, and stretched out her fingers to wipe the remaining scorched marks on it.

Mermaid cream!

Mermaid ointment is often used as a lamp in the tomb. If there is a fire, the cold water is hard to extinguish, and the flame will float on the water and flow with the water.No wonder these hundreds of hidden dragons can't put out the fire in the 【Organ Tomb】by spitting water.

Jing Lan saw that her complexion was not good, so she also wiped it and sniffed it.

The smell is fishy, ​​she is most familiar with this smell!She and her fourth brother often go to sea to look for her missing father. Mermaid ointment is the smell she hates the most, she knows it when she smells it.

"Cough cough!"

The smell made her uncomfortable, and she couldn't help coughing violently.

Liu Xi looked back at her.

Jing Lan suppressed her coughing forcefully, her cheeks blushed instantly.

"Smell less, it's also mixed with fire and medicine."

To further confirm, Liu Xi knocked on the stone box containing the books, and it shattered.She recalled carefully that when she came here to rescue Jing Lan and Jing Huan, she didn't hear the explosion inside.But this stone box was obviously destroyed by fire and medicine. Only the Xishan Liu family can make such a firearm, and only her Liuxi can make it.

In her previous life, she carefully designed it for Wei Jianbai to assassinate the guard general of Dongfuzhou.

She still remembered that she specially named this firearm "Dementor".

"How could it be..." Liu Xi frowned, it was clear that she had not designed "Spirit-stealing" in this life, and even she had no intersection with Wei Jianbai, why would Wei Jianbai have such a firearm? !

Jing Lan looked at Liu Xi's scorched expression, wondering what she had discovered?She twitched her lips hesitantly, and finally asked, "Why?"

Liu Xi didn't answer immediately, she looked at Jing Lan for a moment, her eyes were as cold as the cold moon in the sky.

Jing Lan felt a little uncomfortable, and warned, "You... what tricks are you trying to play?!"

That conjecture was really terrible, so terrible that Liu Xi couldn't believe it.

If, as Liu Xi thought, Wei Jianbai was also the one to live again, then everything would be too scary.

The sudden coolness hit her heart, Liu Xi couldn't help shivering, glanced at this place hastily, pretending to be calm and said: "Let's go."

"Wait!" Jing Lan wanted to figure out what Liu Xi meant.

Liu Xi would never listen to her, she walked out of the [Organ Tomb] without looking back, and walked straight to the outside of Haicheng.

It is not difficult to confirm Liu Xi's conjecture.

Liu Xi only hoped that everything was not as she thought, otherwise Wei Jianbai would never let her sit in the Dongjing family.

No one in the world would just stand by and watch his opponent get stronger and stronger until one day he came back and took his life.

Jing Lan walked out following Liu Xi, and Aunt Hong saw that Liu Xi's face was not looking very well, so she also followed Liu Xi to the gate of the Dongjing clan.

At this time, the sky was already dawning.

The twilight in the sky intertwined with the faint moonlight, and the outline of the sea cliffs surrounding Haicheng was hideous, like a big mouth of a sea monster, holding the brightly lit Haicheng in its mouth.

There are the most organs in the Butianshi Gorge leading to Wanghaidu in the East China Sea, so when Liuxi got the layout plan of the organs, he designed the firearms specifically to attack the Butian Stone Gorge.

The Santu Shixia mechanism leading to East Fuzhou is the most ingenious. The more ingenious, the more dangerous it is. You don’t need too many mechanisms, as long as you are caught off guard and deadly.

No one dared to sneak into Haicheng from the top of these two stone gorges, because the mechanism above the stone gorge was unpredictable, and no one dared to take risks with their own lives.Therefore, the top of the stone gorge is unexpected for everyone, and it is also the best gap to sneak into Haicheng.

Liu Xi has studied the layout plan for a long time in her previous life, and she firmly believes that as long as it is a man-made mechanism, a flaw can be found.The so-called wealth and wealth are sought in insurance, the more unexpected, the safer.

In the end, she finally found a gap in the layout.

That is a very small gap, it is at the highest point of Butianshi Gorge, and it is also the most precipitous place in Butianshi Gorge.

Back then, the ancestors of the Jing family named this stone gorge Buyian because it looked like it could be used to catch the moon and pick the heart from the bottom up.

The ancestors of the Jing family must have tried to let the mountain ape go. The rock wall here is steep, the mountain ape is difficult to climb, the rock is hard, and it is difficult to enter with a sharp knife.

This line of natural danger is the best organ born.

Ordinary people are indeed not as flexible as mountain apes, but if they are masters who have practiced for many years, coupled with the mountain-climbing claws made by her Xishanliu family's unique military technique, this line of natural danger can also be as smooth as walking on flat ground.

Dongjing's family and Xishanliu's family are located in the east and west of Daliang, separated by thousands of miles, and the well water has not interfered with the river water for a hundred years.

The ancestors of the Jing family must have never imagined that a hundred years later, the Xishan Liu family would join forces with the general Wei Jianbai, and even join forces with the Shura Court, which everyone hates, to destroy the Jing family from this front line.

Liu Xi didn't have time to lament about these things, she just wanted to make sure that Wei Jianbai was what she thought.

At least one thing she can confirm is that in his previous life, Wei Jianbai had contact with the Liu family of Xishan only after he asked her to marry him.Moreover, ordinary climbing claws can't be nailed into the mountain wall here. In her previous life, Liu Xi had to think hard for many days before she thought of how to improve the climbing claws.The imprint left by climbing claws on the mountain wall is unique.She only needs to take a look to know if Wei Jianbai and the eighteen Asura guards sneaked in from here?It can even be confirmed whether this climbing claw is the one she improved in her previous life?

Liuxi found the position of the natural danger on the first line of Butian Shixia, took out the fire book, and blew it on.

Jing Lan saw that she wanted to go up the cliff with light work, so she said anxiously: "Don't mess around! There are traps on the mountain wall!"

"Don't worry." Liu Xi turned her head and said coolly.

Jing Lan wished she could bite her tongue, "I'm not worried about you!"

The gleam of Huozhezi reflected on her face covered with cold, Liu Xi looked up at the towering Shixia mountain wall quietly, her eyes flickering and dimming, and said softly: "Go back to watch the spirit."

"..." Jing Lan didn't know what to say in reply to her, she could only watch Liuxi's toes pointing, and she flew up the mountain wall like a bird.

She was holding the Huozhangzi in her hand, and the more she turned it up the mountain wall, the smaller the sparks of the Huozzizi would be.

A snow-white mourning dress was very conspicuous on the dark mountain wall. After several sweeps, Liu Xi struggled to hold onto the protruding stone tip with one hand, almost hanging on the mountain wall.

She took the torch and approached the mountain wall, took a photo up and down, seemed to have discovered something, and was just about to concentrate to see clearly.

"call out!"

On the mountain wall, there was a sudden bowstring sound.

Hearing the sound, Liu Xi let go, stepped on the wall with her toes, and did a somersault in the air, narrowly avoiding the hidden arrow.

There are people on the mountain wall!

Even though she only had a quick glance at the silhouette of the black shadow on the mountain wall, Liu Xi knew who it was?

"Wei Jianbai!"

It's too late to say, then soon!

I saw the black shadow suddenly slinging down with a rope, raised its palm and chopped down towards Liuxi's Tianling Cap——

When Liu Xi turned backwards, he wanted to take advantage of the momentum with his feet to step on the wall to slow down the falling momentum, and then use his inner strength to sweep left and right, and landed safely under the stone gorge.

Unexpectedly, Wei Jianbai's slap seems to have determined her route, Liu Xi had to take the slap forcefully if she wanted to borrow strength.

If she received this palm, she would not be able to slow down her falling momentum, and would either die or be injured; if she did not receive this palm, her spirit would be broken, and she would only die.

Since it is a dead end, Wei Jianbai must pay a price!

As soon as Liu Xi thought about this, he hastily mobilized [-]% of his inner strength, and raised his palm to face Wei Jianbai.

"Despicable and shameless!"

Just when the two palms were about to touch, Jing Lan's voice suddenly sounded beside Liu Xi's ear.She just felt that Jing Lan slapped her in the air, and just avoided Wei Jianbai's palm.

"There are assassins!"

Aunt Hong shouted loudly under the stone gorge, and Uncle Jing Jiu rushed over with the guards patrolling the city.

Wei Jianbai's palm was full of strength, he slapped the air, his center of gravity became unstable for a moment, when he slowed down, Jing Lan brought Liuxi safely to the bottom of the stone gorge.

Jing Lan raised her eyebrows and glared angrily at Wei Jianbai who was on the rope, and shouted, "You dare to come again?! Come on! Shoot and kill with random arrows!"

"Yes, Fifth Young Master!" Uncle Jing Jiu made a big move, and the guards behind him raised their crossbows one after another, pulled the crossbows, and the random arrows shot at Wei Jianbai on the mountain wall.

Wei Jianbai flicked left and right, using the rope, flipped over like a flying ape and flew up to the top of the Shixia Gorge, disappearing instantly.

Jing Lan stared at the place where Wei Jianbai disappeared in shock, unaware that her left hand was still on Liu Xi's waist.

until--

Liu Xi said coldly, "Let go."

"What let go?" Jing Lan asked, only to realize the impoliteness of her paws. She retreated hastily, pretending to be calm and said, "I just want to save you...don't rely on me to belittle you!" For a while, she couldn't help but clenched her fists tightly, feeling cold sweat on her palms.

He clearly wanted her to die, so why couldn't he help but save her?

Jing Lan wanted to see that for the sake of her elder brother's bones, even if she had to avenge her previous life, she would avenge it with dignity.

Aunt Hong looked up and down at the two of them in a panic, "You're not hurt, are you?"

"It's okay!" After Jing Lan finished speaking, she didn't dare to look at Liu Xi again.

"The guards need to be strengthened here. This is where they sneaked into Haicheng." Liu Xi explained in a hurry, and after straightening her slightly messy clothes, she realized that the place where Jing Lan hugged her just now was slightly moist.

Liu Xi quietly took another look at Jing Lan, the girl's face was flushed at this time, it was unknown whether it was because of her slap or nervousness.

This girl turned out to be hard-spoken and soft-hearted.

So Liu Xi's tone was a little more gentle.

"Alan, thank you."

Jing Lan sullenly said, "No need!"
