Although Ling Xueji used to abide by the dogma of a boudoir daughter in the prefect's mansion and did not leave the mansion without permission, but this did not restrain her heart that yearns for freedom and liberation of nature, so the whole area of ​​the prefect's mansion was as big as the back hillside and as small as an ant's nest , there is basically not an inch of space that the second lady has not set foot on.

Now that I think about it carefully, there is really an unexplored secret land under the well head of her house.When she was a child, her father told her that every well lived in a sacred place with a guardian dragon, so Ling Xueji never thought that the bottom of the well could hide things used by people, and even became a nest of crimes where corpses were discarded to cover up heinous crimes. .

From this, I didn't know that there was such a scene at the bottom of the well where there was no water.

The tunnel is not winding and rugged, but it is deep and long. The faint firelight can reflect a world but cannot tell you what is hidden behind the next door.Ling Xueji tightly pulled Qu Quan's sleeves and followed Qu Quan with her head shrunk. From the corner of her eyes, she could only see the purple corner of her clothes that fluttered from time to time because of the master's walking. Qiongzhi fairy birds outlined by silver threads.Under the firelight, the silver-purple silk threads are densely entwined, as if intertwined into an elegant and dreamy barrier, which isolated her from all kinds of unknown fears ahead. Although it is so thin, it can protect her to move forward with peace of mind.

The two had been together for several months, but only then did Ling Xueji realize that Qu Quan was so much taller than him, and from behind, his flesh and blood were well-proportioned, and his body proportions were also excellent. Weapon materials.It is precisely because of this that he can wear an official uniform with outstanding demeanor, and show his charm with every gesture.

Perhaps feeling the lingering gaze behind him, the person in front turned his head slightly, and the amber pupils illuminated by the firelight shone faintly, "Don't be afraid, this is just a pharmacy."

"A pharmacy?"

Ling Xueji blinked her eyes, the sudden curiosity was sharp and strong, cutting off all the hazy thoughts just now, she found that she was already outside a room at this moment, the iron door was not locked, and the two walked directly into the room.There is a stove, a boiler, and even a large bundle of unused firewood in the house, which is very similar to a kitchen at home. But after hearing what Qu Quan said, Ling Xueji noticed that there was an inconspicuous corner of the house. A strange stove with a four-cornered square pavilion and a nine-petal lotus base hollowed out in the center.

"This is a furnace for refining medicine, there are many in the Department of Punishment." Qu Quan explained.

"Ah...that's really a pharmacy..." Ling Xueji frowned, realizing that the matter was not simple, "What kind of medicine are they refining? Could it be that someone is sick and wants to make medicine to cure the disease?" She turned her head and asked , but saw the warm red light reflecting the solemn expression of the person behind him.

"It should be said, how could there be such a thing as a pharmacy at the bottom of this well."

Qu Quan's facial features are not sharp but on the contrary, new cut willow thrushes in February, peach spring eyes in March, even sitting in Xiatai tortured to extract confessions with a smile, but at this moment it seems to be covered with a layer of counting nine severe frost.

"Qu Quan, you mean..." Ling Xueji followed her train of thought, and suddenly exclaimed and quickly covered her mouth with her hands.

The bizarre fire three years ago, the secret pharmacy under the dry well, and the road map indicated by the red marks on the chaotic trees in Wanxia Mountain, all these connections are by no means a coincidence!Who exactly planned all this?What is the purpose of spending huge financial and material resources to build this secret passage at the bottom of the well, regardless of the lives of the people in the entire workshop? !Even though she has a simple experience, she definitely understands that all this is not as simple as covering up and throwing away the corpse!

"This place seems to have been cleaned up..." Ling Xueji followed Qu Quan around the pharmacy and found that it was very clean. It seems that the murderer had already anticipated their arrival, so he dealt with it in time.But if it has already attracted attention, why not seal the entrance so that this secret will be hidden underground forever?She was only puzzled for a moment, and the answer was ready to come out.

It was Amao who opened the entrance.

What Qu Quan cared about was not the same as Ling Xueji. She noticed that the medicine stove in this room didn't seem to be used frequently, but the stove had traces of frequent use. Apart from the possibility that there were people living here, would it be possible? There will be another possibility--

"Medicine?"

"Ah Qu Quan, what did you say?"

Qu Quan frowned and shook his head, "I don't know now. According to what you just said, it is true that someone is sick and needs to take medicine, but the medicine stove has obviously not been used many times. Could it be that the medicine is ready and needs to be taken?" Looking for someone to test the medicine?"

Ling Xueji thought of the mountain of corpses piled up at the entrance of the cave before, bit his lower lip and nodded, "I think what you said makes sense."

"Let's take another look and see what the murderer is up to."

Qu Quan led Ling Xueji to another door of the pharmacy, and slowly opened it.After Ling Xueji knew that this place had been abandoned and sealed off, she was not as afraid as before. After all, there was no reason to arrange anyone to guard the place that had been abandoned. As for those monsters and evil spirits, they were only in the book.But after thinking about it, her right hand was still cautiously pressed on the precious sword worn at her waist, in case of emergency.

Compared with the smooth road before, this time there are some changes. There are two forked roads in front of Qu Quan and Ling Xueji. The obviously refined wall is in stark contrast to the previous mixed natural tunnel. The master no longer intends to hide his desire/desire and purpose. Of course, the person who can come here must also be an accomplice to the mastermind.

Qu Quan and Ling Xueji looked at each other, first chose the room on the right, went in and turned around, and then leisurely chose the room on the left, anyway, they can't get out now, and time is running out.After the first torch in their hands was ignited and replaced with the second one, the two of them had already gone to the passage ahead, talking while walking.

"Sure enough, there is a pharmacy, but most of the cabinets are empty. Xue Ji, what did you find?"

Because he didn't realize the danger, Qu Quan simply lit two torches, and the two investigated separately.Ling Xueji also shared her gains with Qu Quan with a serious face.

"The pharmacy is understandable, but I don't understand the many counters in the other room." Ling Xueji shook his head and gestured with his hands.

Qu Quan interjected: "I don't really understand that table, I only see it in the Medicine House Medical Hall on weekdays, or it is used when heals serious injuries during marches and wars. It just happens to be placed here... The Yao Furnace originally existed for alchemy, if people were to test the medicine, how could they be used..."

"Wow, Qu Quan, you still know this, it's amazing!" Ling Xueji had never been to a medical center or a battlefield, and listening to Qu Quan's stories was as novel and interesting as listening to stories.

Qu Quan nodded very immodestly and seriously, "I know a lot."

While talking, the two arrived at a damp room, and at the same time, they discovered that this room was actually connected to the two rooms just now.If they were puzzled by the operating table just now, then the next scene was even more inexplicable.
