Maung-mei is wrong
Chapter 96 Labyrinth
Zhuo Yingxian stood next to Nie Yunhan, the two looked around, but did not see any movement.
"Forget it, I think even if they can see the situation outside, they may not be able to see the real situation, and they definitely dare not come out." Nie Yunhan said, "Let's go to the cellar to find it. It's easier to explain it in person."
Zhuo Yingxian followed him and jumped onto the roof of the wing room in the backyard, and ran straight to the main room.
Presumably, the organs near the main house were more complicated. They put in 12 points of energy, only to find several transparent fishing lines arranged on the roof and the threshold, carefully avoided them, and it took a long time to reach the door.
Zhuo Yingxian drew out his sword, ready to cover at all times, while Nie Yunhan clenched the knife in his hand, gently pushed open the door, and then the two of them quickly hid to the sides, even holding their breath, in case there would be jets of spray from inside. Toxic fumes.
After waiting for a moment, the door was quiet, and then Nie Yunhan winked at Zhuo Yingxian, and they entered the main room cautiously, looking from left to right.
The room is very spacious, with a hall in the middle, a study on one side, and a bedroom on the other side. Zhuo Ying leisurely touched the round table in the hall, there was no dust, it should have been cleaned two days ago.
After checking the study, Nie Yunhan didn't find anything unusual, so he backed out, and walked out of the bedroom with Zhuo Yingxian.None of them dared to enter without authorization, they just stood at the door and watched.
Zhuo Yingxian looked around and said doubtfully: "The bed is very tidy, and there is no trace of disorder in the whole bedroom. If there is an entrance to the cellar, there must be no mess at all, right? Could it be that the mechanism here is the same as my master's?" similar, on the wall?"
"Looking at the distance between this room and the path next to it, it should be at the end. It doesn't look like there is room left to accommodate a dark room." Nie Yunhan stepped into the room lightly, taking every step very cautiously.
Zhuo Yingxian stared at the bricks and stones under his feet, and stepped on them closely following his steps, so as not to bump into other places and accidentally touch the mechanism.
Nie Yunhan walked to the wall next to the bed, tapped it repeatedly, listened carefully to the sound, and confirmed: "The wall is solid, there is no dark room."
Zhuo Yingxian turned around, squatted down and looked at the bottom of the bed: "Maybe the entrance is under the bed? I've seen you use mechanisms a lot, and I always thought that the bed would pop up to reveal the passage when you press somewhere. Now It seems that perhaps the old way is more appropriate."
"It depends on personal preference, but Hirano sometimes I can't figure it out." Nie Yunhan also squatted down, looking at the bricks and stones under the bed, "I might as well get in and have a look."
Zhuo Ying said leisurely: "I'll go, the bed is relatively narrow, it's a bit difficult for you to drill."
Nie Yunhan hesitated for a moment: "Okay, be careful."
"rest assured."
Zhuo Yingxian leaned down and was about to get under the bed, but at this moment, a sudden change occurred——
The bricks and stones under the two people's feet suddenly tilted to one side and sank, they stepped on the air and fell together!
Zhuo Yingxian felt as if he had fallen into a well, but the well was not too deep, and he touched the ground very quickly.
However, the ground seemed to be a steep slope, and it was very narrow. He could only protect his head and roll along the trend. Hearing the absence of Nie Yunhan's voice behind him, he knew that the two had been separated.
Fortunately, the slope was not long, so he reached the bottom quickly, and hit a wall with a "bang".
This fell him completely, the wound that was strangled by the rope net just now was painful, and this space was pitch black, without any light, Zhuo Yingxian's eyes were darkened, and he leaned against the wall to relax , and then took out a fire pocket from his waist pocket.
When he went to the mine last time, Nie Yunhan thought the Baichuan belt he bought for him was good, so he made him a stronger one on the boat, which was simpler than the one used by red boas, and only packed some tools that might be needed. And bruises, poisonous objects are not given to him.
Before leaving tonight, although the two planned not to act separately, Nie Yunhan still asked him to wear this belt to prevent accidents.
Zhuo Yingxian turned on the light switch, adjusted the light to the brightest, looked around, and sighed: "Brother Han is very experienced!"
There is a wall on the side, the wall is about five feet wide, looking forward to the left, there is an opening to pass through, what is outside is not clear yet.
The width of the slope is about the same as that of the wall, more than five feet, and the sides and the top of the head are made of adobe. The space is very cramped, which can explain the squeeze feeling when Cai Zhuo Yingxian rolled down.
Zhuo Yingxian climbed back along the slope, and the space above his head was getting bigger and bigger. When he reached the top of the slope, he took a light with a fire pocket, and when he looked up, he could see a vertical passageway of three or four feet square. The top of the passageway should be It was the floor that made him fall.
So he figured it out, just now he and Nie Yunhan should have fallen in two directions respectively, first fell vertically from the passage of more than ten feet, then fell to the slope below, and then rolled to the ground below.
"Brother Han? Are you there?" Zhuo Yingxian knocked on the adobe on the side of the passage. Since the two adjacent floors that he and Nie Yunhan stepped on can move, the adobe in the middle should be Not too thick.
However, he waited for a while, but did not hear Nie Yunhan's response. Then he looked up at the floor above, and felt that there must be a control mechanism there. See if you can find a way out.
Zhuo Yingxian squatted at the top of the slope, and took a photo with a fire folder. He felt that the difference between the slope and the bottom was about ten feet. So, the distance between the floor of Guan Pingye's bedroom and the ground at the bottom of the slope was about Two to three feet.
It seems that the underground part should be dug out by Guan Pingye, and now the opponent's hiding place should not be as small as a cellar.
Now he feels that maybe Guan Pingye has hollowed out the whole forest, part of it is used to hide, and part of it is used as a trap.
After returning to the bottom of the slope, Zhuo Yingxian went out from the gap on the left side of the wall in front of him, took a photo with the fire folder, and was immediately stunned.
There are many of the same earthen walls in front of them, and there is an exit on one side, but looking out from the exit, the outside is still an earthen wall!
This is clearly a maze!
Zhuo Yingxian looked up, feeling desperate.
Those earthen walls are "upright", there is no gap for people to jump on them and take shortcuts, and no matter how deep Guan Pingye dug the ground below the garden, the ceiling of the maze is not high, only more than seven feet, which makes people feel very repressed.
However, it is useless to be in a daze, he can only find a way out of this maze - if this is indeed a maze, not a cage.
Zhuo Yingxian walked through the first door and entered the second space. There are door gaps on both sides of this space, which can be passed through.So he first chose the door crack on the right, marked it, and walked out.
There are gaps in the three walls of the third space. He still chose the rightmost one, marked it, and continued down.
As he walked, the space in front of him was getting bigger and bigger, and the terrain gradually increased from the four sides. When he came to an octagonal space, there were no door gaps on the right hand side and in front of him, and the openings were all on the left side. Ying Xian knew immediately that he had come to the end.
It seems that the shape of this maze is fairly regular, perhaps a rectangle.
Zhuo Yingxian returned the original route according to his markings, so as not to mistake the route, and then planned to go again from the left.
He called Nie Yunhan a few times as he walked, but he didn't get a response. He couldn't help but feel a little anxious, wondering if the other party had encountered the same problem.
His guess was right, Nie Yunhan was looking at the pile of doors in front of him, feeling like one head became two big.
Although in the red boa, he leads the team and is good at strategy, but he has always been impatient when facing mazes, and only those who are interested in mechanical mechanisms like Guan Shanguan and Hirano like to do them. Patience and calculation are required. s things.
"So this means that the young don't work hard, and the old man is sad?" Nie Yunhan sighed helplessly, and said to himself, "Ah Xian should be more patient than me."
But he can't bear it, and he can't knock down all the walls in front of him, so he can only make a mark and go one by one.
The underground labyrinth was narrow and cramped. After walking around a few times, he was sweating profusely, so he loosened his collar a bit—no one saw him anyway.
Nie Yunhan used the same method as Zhuo Yingxian, but the order was reversed. He first went all the way to the left, turned back and then went to the far right. There are too many choices in the middle route, so let's talk about it last.
But he has been walking for a long time, and he has lost his sense of time. He doesn't know how long he has been here, and the more he walks, the more anxious he becomes.
In the end, Nie Yunhan also walked to the last space on his right, looking at the wall with no way out, a burst of despair suddenly swept through his mind, causing him sudden palpitations, he couldn't help covering his heart, and took a nap against the wall.
He felt more and more useless, and thought carefully about the victories he had achieved in leading the team before, all of which were behind the shadow of Guanshan.
Nie Yunhan couldn't help thinking: "If I didn't have my adoptive father and the organs and weapons he made, would I be so invincible? Apart from these, what is left of Nie Yunhan?"
Thinking back to starting from Tangzhou Mansion, passing through Wenzhou, Fusha County and Wulingdu, he claimed to be superior in strategy, but he was beaten everywhere and led by the nose?
Now at Guiliang Mansion, and because he was one step late, Hirano was captured, so he came to visit Linyuan at night, but he was confused by the mechanism set up by the old man.
I, Nie Yunhan, what is the value of existence?With my little ability, I can't take care of myself, how can I protect others?What face is there to talk about revenge? !
If I had been more resourceful, I wouldn't have let my adoptive father suffer, and I wouldn't have allowed the sewage to splash on him!
Thinking of this, the evil fire in his heart seemed to be fueled by someone, and it suddenly burned up. Countless self-blame swirled in his mind, like mosquitoes and flies, gnawing at his swollen and cracking flesh. Heart.
Nie Yunhan's mouth was parched at the moment, and the only clear line of thought left in his mind made him understand that this situation is exactly the same as when he was locked in an iron cabinet at Wulingdu. It is this cramped space that makes the darkness dominate his heart. Overwhelmed thoughts, a lot of negative thoughts.
If it was him two years ago, it would definitely not be like this.
But after experiencing Guan Shan's death and two years in the dark prison, Nie Yunhan only felt that he was like a rusty knife at the moment, which looked capable of a battle on the outside, but was actually vulnerable.
If Zhuo Yingxian hadn't shone a beam of light into his heart, he might have collapsed long ago.
Thinking of the vitality that always radiated from that person, Nie Yunhan couldn't help but smile wryly.
What a good person that is, why should I deserve him? !
"A Xian..." Nie Yunhan pressed his forehead against the wall, knocked lightly, and muttered, "A Xian..."
While thinking about it, he raised his voice again and shouted, "Ah Xian! Zhuo Yingxian! Where are you?"
Nie Yunhan's eyes suddenly became hot, and he felt as if just chanting the other person's name would bring hope out of despair.
There was silence all around, so quiet that it was suffocating.
Nie Yunhan sighed heavily, determined to hide his shameful fragility at this moment, and returned along the road to find a way out again.
Just as he walked to the crack of the door, a faint voice suddenly sounded: "Brother Han? Is that you?"
The sound sounded far away through the adobe wall, but it was not difficult to locate - it was just behind the wall that Nie Yunhan's forehead was touching just now.
Nie Yunhan was overjoyed, returned to the wall, and shouted loudly: "A Xian! I'm here, can you hear me?!"
After a few breaths, Zhuo Yingxian's voice became clearer: "I can hear you, I can hear you!"
Zhuo Yingxian was overjoyed, he had already reached the bottom end of the left side of the maze on his side, and he couldn't hold it anymore, it was too stuffy here, so he just took a quick glance, made a mark, and was about to go back, But he vaguely heard Nie Yunhan's voice, so he hurried back.
While responding to Nie Yunhan, he tapped the adobe wall in front of him with the hilt of his sword: "I don't know how thick this wall is, should we try to dig it?"
Nie Yunhan's voice came over: "Don't dig, stay away!"
"How far to hide? What are you going to do?"
"It's almost three or five squares away, I want to explode it!"
Zhuo Yingxian was startled, not knowing that Nie Yunhan was still carrying this kind of thing, but he couldn't help asking more about the current situation, so he said: "Okay, I'll step back now, you count to five."
He hid three squares to the right according to what the other party said, and looked through the earthen wall. He didn't know what Nie Yunhan was going to use to blow it up, would it be too powerful, and what if it collapsed here? ?
However, he quickly convinced himself that Brother Han was not someone who had countless people under his command, so he would not make such low-level mistakes.
Just as Zhuo Yingxian was thinking wildly, there was a sudden "boom" from the adobe door, dust splashed everywhere in front of his eyes, and then he heard Nie Yunhan's voice: "Axian, where are you?"
Zhuo Yingxian covered his mouth and nose and poked his head out, only to see loess in his eyes, he stretched out his hand holding the torch and shook it: "I'm here!"
A vigorous figure passed through the loess and rushed straight at him. Before Zhuo Yingxian could see clearly, he was pushed against the wall by that person, and the hand covering his mouth was pushed away: "Hey, you ……Well!"
He got a kiss that was so dusty that it was almost swallowed alive.
The kiss didn't last long, but it was full of nostalgia and the surprise of reunion.
Panting quickly, Nie Yunhan let go of his lips, and hugged him tightly in his arms again. The passionate kiss just now and the thunderous heartbeat now made Zhuo Yingxian a little dizzy.
"Brother Han, what's wrong with you? Why is your heart beating so fast?" Zhuo Yingxian put his arms around his waist, "Is it too boring here?"
Nie Yunhan hugged him, trying to control his breathing, and asked in a low voice, "Did you miss me just now?"
Zhuo Yingxian was pressed on his chest by him, panting slightly: "Nonsense, I have been wondering where you are, the forest garden is not too big, so logically this labyrinth is not too big, I don't think we are divided into two In the maze, the two ends of the maze are separated. If you go around a few more times, you will always meet. I have been calling you, and I don’t know if you heard it.”
As he spoke, he felt Nie Yunhan's violently heaving chest gradually calm down, and then he realized that what the other party asked just now didn't seem to mean what he answered.
Nie Yunhan let go of him, stroked a strand of sweaty hair on his forehead, and smiled: "I really can't leave you now."
Zhuo Yingxian seemed to have become his backbone, now that he was in front of him, he was full of boundless strength.
"Sweet words come as soon as you open your mouth, Nie Qianhu." Zhuo Yingxian was no stranger to his flirtatious style at all times, pulled his wrist, and walked towards the adobe wall that was blown away, "I see Let's see how you got here."
The blasted loess was almost scattered, Zhuo Ying walked over and saw a big gap in the middle of the wall, and the top and bottom were intact.
"What did you use to explode it?" He looked back at Nie Yunhan in surprise.
Nie Yunhan took out a small black ball the size of a hawthorn with a fuse from his waist pouch: "This one is a bit like the mountain mines used in mines, but it's not as powerful. All kinds of traps, sometimes use this to explode, and use a few more if one is not enough, lest a single blast is too powerful and dangerous.”
Zhuo Ying played with the little black ball and said helplessly, "How many good things do you have that I haven't seen? What's this called?"
A trace of embarrassment suddenly appeared on Nie Yunhan's face: "This is called... sheep dung, and it was taken by Yu Shu! If he insists on taking it, the adoptive father will let him."
I thought this little thing had to have a very poetic name like "Hengyunpo" and "Fushengsan", or at least something straightforward like "wings", "gills" and "iron ears". Come to think of it being called this.
Zhuo Yingxian gave a "tsk" and returned the little black ball to Nie Yunhan: "I need to urge this kid to read more."
"I can't keep an eye on him!" Nie Yunhan said, putting away the "sheep poop", "These are all designed by the adoptive father, and he hasn't bought them since his death. One is used and the other is missing. If it weren't for the limited number of these things, I would Just blow it up here. Fortunately, the wall is made of adobe, so it would be difficult if it was even harder."
Zhuo Yingxian stretched out his head to look at the gap, his expression darkened.
"It's the same maze over there, isn't it?"
Nie Yunhan nodded, and communicated with him about the situation, and Zhuo Yingxian realized that after Nie Yunhan fell from the floor, he rolled all the way down the slope. The child opened the distance, coupled with the heavy adobe wall in the middle, no wonder he couldn't hear his shout.
"What should we do now?" Zhuo Yingxian looked at Nie Yunhan and asked.
He realized that when he was acting alone, he had a lot of ideas, but as long as he was with Nie Yunhan, he was infinitely dependent on him psychologically, as if he didn't want to move his mind.
It is a good thing for the two to meet again, but they still have to face the maze in front of them. If they stay here for a moment, it will be more dangerous, because they don't know whether there are hidden organs in this maze.
Nie Yunhan and Zhuo Yingxian are just the opposite, now only when this person stands by his side, he feels complete and can regain his former state.
"Don't worry, let's discuss the countermeasures." Nie Yunhan sat down against the wall and patted the ground next to him, "Come and sit."
Zhuo Yingxian sat down as he said, and Nie Yunhan said again: "This place is not a labyrinth, it should be a cage."
"After going around for a while, I think so too." Zhuo Ying said sadly, "You have repeatedly emphasized that the iron shield is for defense, if you use this place to trap thieves, naturally no one will be left to escape Opportunity. Designing such a place is like a 'ghost', which consumes a person's physical strength and breaks his spirit, killing two birds with one stone."
Nie Yunhan leaned his head against the wall, and said quietly: "Yes, so we must not panic and think about it. There must be another exit here, and it depends on whether we can find it."
After all, he didn't make another sound for a long while, but slowly slid down, leaning his head on Zhuo Yingxian's shoulder, breathing lightly and long, as if he was about to fall asleep.
Zhuo Yingxian recalled the scene when the two met just now, combined with his current appearance, he realized something was wrong.
He was so anxious just now, not only because he was worried about me, but...needed me?
Will someone as powerful as him want to rely on me?
No matter what Nie Yunhan said before how fragile he was, Zhuo Yingxian couldn't empathize with him because his appearance made him regain his confidence, and he only thought that the other party was trying to make him happy.
But at this moment, he really felt the weakness that Nie Yunhan tried so hard to hide, and he became the other's reliance. This feeling of being needed made him happy, and it also made him feel faintly distressed.
In this case, you have to coax and hurt well.
But coaxing a lion is not the same as coaxing a little white rabbit.
To coax a rabbit, you can hold it in your arms, stroke it gently, and do your best to pamper it; but in the face of a mighty lion, this method will expose the other party's fragility and make it even more difficult.
They are both men, so they can understand each other better. Zhuo Yingxian felt that when he was needed by Nie Yunhan, he felt very fulfilled and excited, so he should reciprocate in the same way.
So he chose to act like a baby.
"Brother Han." Zhuo Yingxian's voice sounded faintly in the silence.
Still leaning on his shoulder, Nie Yunhan replied, "Huh?"
"You and Brother Zuo both know how to use whistle to communicate, and they can communicate with each other when it's inconvenient to show up. But I don't know how to whistle, and I won't be able to learn it in a while, how about..." Zhuo Yinghan pressed against Nie Yunhan forehead, whispered, "You and I also make up a secret language, how about it?"
Under Huo Zhezi's shining blue light, Nie Yunhan raised the corner of his mouth and smiled silently: "What do you think?"
Zhuo Yingxian took his big hand and interlocked his fingers: "I was in the maze just now and kept beating the earth wall with my sword scabbard. I thought that this method could be used to transmit simple signals and combine them with the length of the beating. What do you think?" How about it?"
"Good way, you have compiled the translation rules, just tell me."
"I'm not good at this, you think with me."
Nie Yunhan turned his head and kissed Zhuo Yingxian lightly on the cheek: "No problem."
"But I thought about something just now, and I can tell you now." Zhuo Yingxian secretly glanced at him from the corner of his eyes, and met the smiling eyes of the other party, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, as if coaxing someone to act like a baby. It's a bit difficult.
Nie Yunhan's expression suddenly became serious: "Okay, you can demonstrate it once, and I will learn."
Zhuo Yingxian lowered his head, thought for a while, and carefully tapped the back of Nie Yunhan's hand long and short with his index finger.
Nie Yunhan kept looking at his drooping eyebrows, seeing the thick eyelashes trembling gently like butterfly wings, feeling a warmth lingering in his heart, secretly remembering the order of his tapping.
When the other party looked up at him timidly, he asked sincerely, "It's a bit complicated, what do you mean?"
Zhuo Yingxian felt that he was just playing tricks in front of Nie Yunhan about compiling secret language, so he felt a little timid in his heart and always felt that he lacked confidence.
But after thinking about how to coax people, naturally he still has to coax to the end, so he leaned forward, leaned into Nie Yunhan's ear, and said softly: "My heart is with you."
"Forget it, I think even if they can see the situation outside, they may not be able to see the real situation, and they definitely dare not come out." Nie Yunhan said, "Let's go to the cellar to find it. It's easier to explain it in person."
Zhuo Yingxian followed him and jumped onto the roof of the wing room in the backyard, and ran straight to the main room.
Presumably, the organs near the main house were more complicated. They put in 12 points of energy, only to find several transparent fishing lines arranged on the roof and the threshold, carefully avoided them, and it took a long time to reach the door.
Zhuo Yingxian drew out his sword, ready to cover at all times, while Nie Yunhan clenched the knife in his hand, gently pushed open the door, and then the two of them quickly hid to the sides, even holding their breath, in case there would be jets of spray from inside. Toxic fumes.
After waiting for a moment, the door was quiet, and then Nie Yunhan winked at Zhuo Yingxian, and they entered the main room cautiously, looking from left to right.
The room is very spacious, with a hall in the middle, a study on one side, and a bedroom on the other side. Zhuo Ying leisurely touched the round table in the hall, there was no dust, it should have been cleaned two days ago.
After checking the study, Nie Yunhan didn't find anything unusual, so he backed out, and walked out of the bedroom with Zhuo Yingxian.None of them dared to enter without authorization, they just stood at the door and watched.
Zhuo Yingxian looked around and said doubtfully: "The bed is very tidy, and there is no trace of disorder in the whole bedroom. If there is an entrance to the cellar, there must be no mess at all, right? Could it be that the mechanism here is the same as my master's?" similar, on the wall?"

Zhuo Yingxian stared at the bricks and stones under his feet, and stepped on them closely following his steps, so as not to bump into other places and accidentally touch the mechanism.
Nie Yunhan walked to the wall next to the bed, tapped it repeatedly, listened carefully to the sound, and confirmed: "The wall is solid, there is no dark room."
Zhuo Yingxian turned around, squatted down and looked at the bottom of the bed: "Maybe the entrance is under the bed? I've seen you use mechanisms a lot, and I always thought that the bed would pop up to reveal the passage when you press somewhere. Now It seems that perhaps the old way is more appropriate."
"It depends on personal preference, but Hirano sometimes I can't figure it out." Nie Yunhan also squatted down, looking at the bricks and stones under the bed, "I might as well get in and have a look."
Zhuo Ying said leisurely: "I'll go, the bed is relatively narrow, it's a bit difficult for you to drill."
Nie Yunhan hesitated for a moment: "Okay, be careful."
"rest assured."
Zhuo Yingxian leaned down and was about to get under the bed, but at this moment, a sudden change occurred——
The bricks and stones under the two people's feet suddenly tilted to one side and sank, they stepped on the air and fell together!
Zhuo Yingxian felt as if he had fallen into a well, but the well was not too deep, and he touched the ground very quickly.
However, the ground seemed to be a steep slope, and it was very narrow. He could only protect his head and roll along the trend. Hearing the absence of Nie Yunhan's voice behind him, he knew that the two had been separated.

This fell him completely, the wound that was strangled by the rope net just now was painful, and this space was pitch black, without any light, Zhuo Yingxian's eyes were darkened, and he leaned against the wall to relax , and then took out a fire pocket from his waist pocket.
When he went to the mine last time, Nie Yunhan thought the Baichuan belt he bought for him was good, so he made him a stronger one on the boat, which was simpler than the one used by red boas, and only packed some tools that might be needed. And bruises, poisonous objects are not given to him.
Before leaving tonight, although the two planned not to act separately, Nie Yunhan still asked him to wear this belt to prevent accidents.
Zhuo Yingxian turned on the light switch, adjusted the light to the brightest, looked around, and sighed: "Brother Han is very experienced!"

It seems that the underground part should be dug out by Guan Pingye, and now the opponent's hiding place should not be as small as a cellar.
Now he feels that maybe Guan Pingye has hollowed out the whole forest, part of it is used to hide, and part of it is used as a trap.

Nie Yunhan used the same method as Zhuo Yingxian, but the order was reversed. He first went all the way to the left, turned back and then went to the far right. There are too many choices in the middle route, so let's talk about it last.
But he has been walking for a long time, and he has lost his sense of time. He doesn't know how long he has been here, and the more he walks, the more anxious he becomes.
In the end, Nie Yunhan also walked to the last space on his right, looking at the wall with no way out, a burst of despair suddenly swept through his mind, causing him sudden palpitations, he couldn't help covering his heart, and took a nap against the wall.
He felt more and more useless, and thought carefully about the victories he had achieved in leading the team before, all of which were behind the shadow of Guanshan.
Nie Yunhan couldn't help thinking: "If I didn't have my adoptive father and the organs and weapons he made, would I be so invincible? Apart from these, what is left of Nie Yunhan?"
Thinking back to starting from Tangzhou Mansion, passing through Wenzhou, Fusha County and Wulingdu, he claimed to be superior in strategy, but he was beaten everywhere and led by the nose?
Now at Guiliang Mansion, and because he was one step late, Hirano was captured, so he came to visit Linyuan at night, but he was confused by the mechanism set up by the old man.
I, Nie Yunhan, what is the value of existence?With my little ability, I can't take care of myself, how can I protect others?What face is there to talk about revenge? !
If I had been more resourceful, I wouldn't have let my adoptive father suffer, and I wouldn't have allowed the sewage to splash on him!
Thinking of this, the evil fire in his heart seemed to be fueled by someone, and it suddenly burned up. Countless self-blame swirled in his mind, like mosquitoes and flies, gnawing at his swollen and cracking flesh. Heart.
Nie Yunhan's mouth was parched at the moment, and the only clear line of thought left in his mind made him understand that this situation is exactly the same as when he was locked in an iron cabinet at Wulingdu. It is this cramped space that makes the darkness dominate his heart. Overwhelmed thoughts, a lot of negative thoughts.
If it was him two years ago, it would definitely not be like this.
But after experiencing Guan Shan's death and two years in the dark prison, Nie Yunhan only felt that he was like a rusty knife at the moment, which looked capable of a battle on the outside, but was actually vulnerable.
If Zhuo Yingxian hadn't shone a beam of light into his heart, he might have collapsed long ago.
Thinking of the vitality that always radiated from that person, Nie Yunhan couldn't help but smile wryly.
What a good person that is, why should I deserve him? !
"A Xian..." Nie Yunhan pressed his forehead against the wall, knocked lightly, and muttered, "A Xian..."
While thinking about it, he raised his voice again and shouted, "Ah Xian! Zhuo Yingxian! Where are you?"
Nie Yunhan's eyes suddenly became hot, and he felt as if just chanting the other person's name would bring hope out of despair.
There was silence all around, so quiet that it was suffocating.
Nie Yunhan sighed heavily, determined to hide his shameful fragility at this moment, and returned along the road to find a way out again.
Just as he walked to the crack of the door, a faint voice suddenly sounded: "Brother Han? Is that you?"
The sound sounded far away through the adobe wall, but it was not difficult to locate - it was just behind the wall that Nie Yunhan's forehead was touching just now.
Nie Yunhan was overjoyed, returned to the wall, and shouted loudly: "A Xian! I'm here, can you hear me?!"
After a few breaths, Zhuo Yingxian's voice became clearer: "I can hear you, I can hear you!"
Zhuo Yingxian was overjoyed, he had already reached the bottom end of the left side of the maze on his side, and he couldn't hold it anymore, it was too stuffy here, so he just took a quick glance, made a mark, and was about to go back, But he vaguely heard Nie Yunhan's voice, so he hurried back.
While responding to Nie Yunhan, he tapped the adobe wall in front of him with the hilt of his sword: "I don't know how thick this wall is, should we try to dig it?"
Nie Yunhan's voice came over: "Don't dig, stay away!"
"How far to hide? What are you going to do?"
"It's almost three or five squares away, I want to explode it!"
Zhuo Yingxian was startled, not knowing that Nie Yunhan was still carrying this kind of thing, but he couldn't help asking more about the current situation, so he said: "Okay, I'll step back now, you count to five."
He hid three squares to the right according to what the other party said, and looked through the earthen wall. He didn't know what Nie Yunhan was going to use to blow it up, would it be too powerful, and what if it collapsed here? ?
However, he quickly convinced himself that Brother Han was not someone who had countless people under his command, so he would not make such low-level mistakes.
Just as Zhuo Yingxian was thinking wildly, there was a sudden "boom" from the adobe door, dust splashed everywhere in front of his eyes, and then he heard Nie Yunhan's voice: "Axian, where are you?"
Zhuo Yingxian covered his mouth and nose and poked his head out, only to see loess in his eyes, he stretched out his hand holding the torch and shook it: "I'm here!"
A vigorous figure passed through the loess and rushed straight at him. Before Zhuo Yingxian could see clearly, he was pushed against the wall by that person, and the hand covering his mouth was pushed away: "Hey, you ……Well!"
He got a kiss that was so dusty that it was almost swallowed alive.
The kiss didn't last long, but it was full of nostalgia and the surprise of reunion.
Panting quickly, Nie Yunhan let go of his lips, and hugged him tightly in his arms again. The passionate kiss just now and the thunderous heartbeat now made Zhuo Yingxian a little dizzy.
"Brother Han, what's wrong with you? Why is your heart beating so fast?" Zhuo Yingxian put his arms around his waist, "Is it too boring here?"
Nie Yunhan hugged him, trying to control his breathing, and asked in a low voice, "Did you miss me just now?"
Zhuo Yingxian was pressed on his chest by him, panting slightly: "Nonsense, I have been wondering where you are, the forest garden is not too big, so logically this labyrinth is not too big, I don't think we are divided into two In the maze, the two ends of the maze are separated. If you go around a few more times, you will always meet. I have been calling you, and I don’t know if you heard it.”
As he spoke, he felt Nie Yunhan's violently heaving chest gradually calm down, and then he realized that what the other party asked just now didn't seem to mean what he answered.
Nie Yunhan let go of him, stroked a strand of sweaty hair on his forehead, and smiled: "I really can't leave you now."
Zhuo Yingxian seemed to have become his backbone, now that he was in front of him, he was full of boundless strength.
"Sweet words come as soon as you open your mouth, Nie Qianhu." Zhuo Yingxian was no stranger to his flirtatious style at all times, pulled his wrist, and walked towards the adobe wall that was blown away, "I see Let's see how you got here."
The blasted loess was almost scattered, Zhuo Ying walked over and saw a big gap in the middle of the wall, and the top and bottom were intact.
"What did you use to explode it?" He looked back at Nie Yunhan in surprise.
Nie Yunhan took out a small black ball the size of a hawthorn with a fuse from his waist pouch: "This one is a bit like the mountain mines used in mines, but it's not as powerful. All kinds of traps, sometimes use this to explode, and use a few more if one is not enough, lest a single blast is too powerful and dangerous.”
Zhuo Ying played with the little black ball and said helplessly, "How many good things do you have that I haven't seen? What's this called?"
A trace of embarrassment suddenly appeared on Nie Yunhan's face: "This is called... sheep dung, and it was taken by Yu Shu! If he insists on taking it, the adoptive father will let him."
I thought this little thing had to have a very poetic name like "Hengyunpo" and "Fushengsan", or at least something straightforward like "wings", "gills" and "iron ears". Come to think of it being called this.
Zhuo Yingxian gave a "tsk" and returned the little black ball to Nie Yunhan: "I need to urge this kid to read more."
"I can't keep an eye on him!" Nie Yunhan said, putting away the "sheep poop", "These are all designed by the adoptive father, and he hasn't bought them since his death. One is used and the other is missing. If it weren't for the limited number of these things, I would Just blow it up here. Fortunately, the wall is made of adobe, so it would be difficult if it was even harder."
Zhuo Yingxian stretched out his head to look at the gap, his expression darkened.
"It's the same maze over there, isn't it?"
Nie Yunhan nodded, and communicated with him about the situation, and Zhuo Yingxian realized that after Nie Yunhan fell from the floor, he rolled all the way down the slope. The child opened the distance, coupled with the heavy adobe wall in the middle, no wonder he couldn't hear his shout.
"What should we do now?" Zhuo Yingxian looked at Nie Yunhan and asked.
He realized that when he was acting alone, he had a lot of ideas, but as long as he was with Nie Yunhan, he was infinitely dependent on him psychologically, as if he didn't want to move his mind.
It is a good thing for the two to meet again, but they still have to face the maze in front of them. If they stay here for a moment, it will be more dangerous, because they don't know whether there are hidden organs in this maze.
Nie Yunhan and Zhuo Yingxian are just the opposite, now only when this person stands by his side, he feels complete and can regain his former state.
"Don't worry, let's discuss the countermeasures." Nie Yunhan sat down against the wall and patted the ground next to him, "Come and sit."
Zhuo Yingxian sat down as he said, and Nie Yunhan said again: "This place is not a labyrinth, it should be a cage."
"After going around for a while, I think so too." Zhuo Ying said sadly, "You have repeatedly emphasized that the iron shield is for defense, if you use this place to trap thieves, naturally no one will be left to escape Opportunity. Designing such a place is like a 'ghost', which consumes a person's physical strength and breaks his spirit, killing two birds with one stone."
Nie Yunhan leaned his head against the wall, and said quietly: "Yes, so we must not panic and think about it. There must be another exit here, and it depends on whether we can find it."
After all, he didn't make another sound for a long while, but slowly slid down, leaning his head on Zhuo Yingxian's shoulder, breathing lightly and long, as if he was about to fall asleep.
Zhuo Yingxian recalled the scene when the two met just now, combined with his current appearance, he realized something was wrong.
He was so anxious just now, not only because he was worried about me, but...needed me?
Will someone as powerful as him want to rely on me?
No matter what Nie Yunhan said before how fragile he was, Zhuo Yingxian couldn't empathize with him because his appearance made him regain his confidence, and he only thought that the other party was trying to make him happy.
But at this moment, he really felt the weakness that Nie Yunhan tried so hard to hide, and he became the other's reliance. This feeling of being needed made him happy, and it also made him feel faintly distressed.
In this case, you have to coax and hurt well.
But coaxing a lion is not the same as coaxing a little white rabbit.
To coax a rabbit, you can hold it in your arms, stroke it gently, and do your best to pamper it; but in the face of a mighty lion, this method will expose the other party's fragility and make it even more difficult.
They are both men, so they can understand each other better. Zhuo Yingxian felt that when he was needed by Nie Yunhan, he felt very fulfilled and excited, so he should reciprocate in the same way.
So he chose to act like a baby.
"Brother Han." Zhuo Yingxian's voice sounded faintly in the silence.
Still leaning on his shoulder, Nie Yunhan replied, "Huh?"
"You and Brother Zuo both know how to use whistle to communicate, and they can communicate with each other when it's inconvenient to show up. But I don't know how to whistle, and I won't be able to learn it in a while, how about..." Zhuo Yinghan pressed against Nie Yunhan forehead, whispered, "You and I also make up a secret language, how about it?"
Under Huo Zhezi's shining blue light, Nie Yunhan raised the corner of his mouth and smiled silently: "What do you think?"
Zhuo Yingxian took his big hand and interlocked his fingers: "I was in the maze just now and kept beating the earth wall with my sword scabbard. I thought that this method could be used to transmit simple signals and combine them with the length of the beating. What do you think?" How about it?"
"Good way, you have compiled the translation rules, just tell me."
"I'm not good at this, you think with me."
Nie Yunhan turned his head and kissed Zhuo Yingxian lightly on the cheek: "No problem."
"But I thought about something just now, and I can tell you now." Zhuo Yingxian secretly glanced at him from the corner of his eyes, and met the smiling eyes of the other party, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, as if coaxing someone to act like a baby. It's a bit difficult.
Nie Yunhan's expression suddenly became serious: "Okay, you can demonstrate it once, and I will learn."
Zhuo Yingxian lowered his head, thought for a while, and carefully tapped the back of Nie Yunhan's hand long and short with his index finger.
Nie Yunhan kept looking at his drooping eyebrows, seeing the thick eyelashes trembling gently like butterfly wings, feeling a warmth lingering in his heart, secretly remembering the order of his tapping.
When the other party looked up at him timidly, he asked sincerely, "It's a bit complicated, what do you mean?"
Zhuo Yingxian felt that he was just playing tricks in front of Nie Yunhan about compiling secret language, so he felt a little timid in his heart and always felt that he lacked confidence.
But after thinking about how to coax people, naturally he still has to coax to the end, so he leaned forward, leaned into Nie Yunhan's ear, and said softly: "My heart is with you."
