thousand words

"Click."

There was a soft sound from behind the stone wall, and Baili Mingyan held his forehead again. At this moment, he felt despair, deep despair...

A fine layer of sweat oozed from Qian Yuhan's forehead, he wiped it off with his sleeve and turned to Baili Mingyan, "Why is this so complicated..."

Baili Mingyan didn't want to talk to him, because this was the tenth time the two of them tried to return by stepping on the stone pillar. The previous nine times all failed because Qian Yuhan stepped on the wrong trigger mechanism. Fortunately, Qian Yuhan was not an ordinary person, otherwise the two of them People are either shot into a hornet's nest by a back arrow or smashed into a meatloaf by a hammer.However, no matter how good Qian Yu's martial arts skills are, there will be times when he will be exhausted. At that time, Baili Mingyan believes that this person will definitely use him as a shield and run away by himself.

After a long while, there was a sound of mechanism starting, and Qian Yuhan saw the change of the stone pillar above his head and said quickly: "Look quickly, how should we go now?"

Baili Mingyan said: "Do you think I'm a machine ghost? You can know how to crack the seven-star orbit at a glance."

Qian Yuhan ignored Baili Mingyan's complaints, scratched the back of his head with a heartless look, and said, "Then hurry up and see, I'm about to starve to death, do you know that?"

Hearing this, Baili Mingyan became angry immediately, and said angrily, "Are you hungry? I still have a headache! Who made you so stupid? I've made it so clear that you can still step on the wrong foot..."

Qian Yuhan stopped talking, and looked up at him coldly.Seeing this, Baili Mingyan felt that he had made a slip of the tongue and immediately kept silent, and silently raised his head to observe the seven star orbits.

Immediately Qian Yuhan came over and stood in front of Baili Mingyan and said calmly: "Come up."

Baili Mingyan said vigilantly: "Why?!"

Qian Yuhan said indifferently: "Don't you want to leave...or are you going to go up by yourself and then burst your meridians and die?"

Baili Mingyan curled his lips, and reluctantly walked over. Qian Yuhan's body looked very thin, but when he actually touched him, he could still feel that he had a physique that had practiced martial arts. Although he was thin, he was not weak.Baili Mingyan raised his head and took another look at the seven-star track above his head, wanting to engrave its shape into his mind. This is the last chance. If he fails, there will be the last one left. Once there is no light, there is no hope of getting out.

After a pause, Baili Mingyan jumped onto Qian Yuhan's back and hugged his neck tightly, took a deep breath and said, "East one, south three, north two, east four, west six, south six, north seven."

Qian Yuhan looked up at the uneven stone pillars, tightened his grip on Baili Mingyan's hand, let out a long breath, and jumped up suddenly: "One, two, three... six..."

Suddenly, there was a loud noise behind the stone wall, and then the contact point of the stone pillar of "North Seven" suddenly retracted. Qian Yuhan had nowhere to use his strength to step on the North Six. In the dark passage, in a hurry, Qian Yuhan jumped directly into the opposite dark passage with all his strength, and the secret passage was like a trap waiting for the prey, which was closed immediately after the prey fell into it.

Baili Mingyan was thrown to the ground, and when he realized it, the entrance was completely closed.

"What are you doing?!" Baili Mingyan was shocked and angry.

Qian Yuhan picked up the nearly extinguished Huozhe, tidied up his clothes and sighed: "It's another secret passage..."

"Hey! Did you listen to me?"

Qian Yu coldly snorted and said, "Is there anyone who talks to Master like this?"

Although Qian Yuhan said that he was joking and joking and not serious on weekdays, if his face turned cold, Baili Mingyan would still feel a little apprehensive when facing him.Baili Mingyan slowed down and said, "Why did you suddenly jump in here?"

"If you don't jump in, why don't you stay outside and be shot to death by random arrows?" Qian Yuhan's tone was indifferent, and Baili Mingyan couldn't see his expression clearly because the fire was too dim.

"you……"

Before Baili Mingyan could say anything, he heard Qian Yuhan softly say: "I'm tired, if I get caught again, I won't have the energy to protect you."

There was a trace of exhaustion in Qian Yuhan's tone, obviously exhausted his energy just now carrying him up and down to avoid the mechanism.Seeing Qian Yuhan taking such painstaking efforts to protect him, Baili Mingyan's heart softened a little bit, and he said with a little apology: "Then let's rest for a while."

Qian Yuhan said, "No, it's better to return to the ground as soon as possible. You should have also discovered that this darkroom is much more than what we saw."

In fact, since Qian Yuhan stepped on the wrong stone pillar Baili Mingyan for the first time, he discovered the abnormality. The general seven-star track will never change the contact point because of the wrong step, but simply trigger the mechanism. The fixed rule of changing the contact point every hour is It won't change, but the contacts will change every time they guess wrong before, and just now it is clear that there is no mistake, but the stone pillar suddenly retracts, and this strange secret passage appears.These points all prove the same problem - there is more than one organ formation like the Seven Star Orbit in this secret passage.

Baili Mingyan pondered for a while and said slowly: "The formations of machine ghosts are known for being weird and varied. Maybe this is not a seven-star orbit, but it just looks like a seven-star orbit."

Qian Yuhan said: "It doesn't matter what mechanism formation it is, the point is to get out from here."

Baili Mingyan nodded and said: "Although I don't know where this secret passage leads to, it's better than staying where we are, let's go." He walked over and took the fire fold in Qian Yuhan's hand and walked to the front: "I Come and open the way."

In front of him was a narrow path about nine feet high, and the two could walk side by side.Baili Mingyan and Qian Yuhan walked silently one after the other, and within the effort of a cup of tea, they saw a stone step. The stone step was not high, and by the light of the fire, one could see a stone slab at the end, which seemed to be able to open upwards , Faint voices can still be heard.

Baili Mingyan stopped and turned to look at Qian Yuhan, Qian Yuhan said in a low voice, "Go up and have a look."

Baili Mingyan nodded, held the torch and walked up the steps, then leaned against the stone slab above his head and listened carefully.

"It seems that there are many people who can't hear what they are talking about?" He said.

He didn't hear Qian Yuhan's response, so he yelled again, and when he turned around to look, he froze and didn't dare to move again.Qian Yuhan was standing next to him on the next step behind him.Just looking back, the stone steps not far from Qian Yuhan's feet were densely covered with black spiders, and the spiders were bigger than ordinary spiders so that they could be seen clearly even with the faint firelight.The place where the light of the fire can't reach is also densely covered with darkness, Baili Mingyan doesn't know how many such black things there are in the secret passage that he walked through just now.

Time seemed to stand still, and Baili Mingyan stared at the spiders under his feet, sweating from their foreheads, as if they were confronting each other. The spiders lay quietly on the spot, even if they couldn't see the spider's eyes, they could still feel the chill.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Qian Yuhan was the first to see a spider move in the group of spiders, without thinking, he pushed Baili Mingyan and blurted out, "Run!"

Without even thinking about it, Baili Mingyan opened the stone slab above his head with a forceful push, and jumped out like crazy, followed by Qian Yuhan, who turned around and covered the slate tightly after getting out.

"Oh, I'm scared to death! I'm most afraid of that thing in my life!" Qian Yuhan let out a sigh of relief when he saw that those black spiders didn't get out from the cracks in the slate.

Baili Mingyan was also terrified, panting while wiping his sweat while sitting on the ground.

The two finally escaped without paying attention to the surrounding situation. When they regained consciousness, they realized that they were in the lobby of the inn at the moment, and there were people all around them, looking at them intently.

Qian Yuhan immediately stood up, straightened his clothes, and then stretched out his hand to pull Baili Mingyan.

At this time, Qian Yuhan didn't wear a mask, so he didn't hesitate at all. He looked around and then nodded slightly and said slowly: "Are you having a tea party? I'm really sorry to disturb everyone."

After a strange silence, a young man in a brocade suit responded: "It's not so much a disturbance as it is just the right time."

Qian Yuhan was confused when he heard it, and was about to ask again when a voice came from upstairs: "My lord, I found it." Turning his head to look, he saw a man in the corridor on the second floor who looked like an officer holding a The black long knife is exactly the moon that Baili Mingyan put in the house.

The man in brocade suit nodded, then his eyes fell on Baili Mingyan, he smiled politely and said slowly: "Is this thing yours?"

Baili Mingyan was taken aback and then said, "It's mine."

But seeing the man in the brocade suit had a clear expression on his face, he turned to the woman dressed beside him and said, "Miss Boss, I didn't ask you why you didn't report it, I just took him away."

The woman's face was slightly stiff, but finally she squeezed out a smile and nodded: "My lord, please do what you want."

Feng Lichou never expected that when Li Junhao left, two people suddenly appeared from the ground, and these two people happened to fit the person Li Junhao described.At this moment, she has no reason to refuse, after all, she won't get any benefit from going against the government.

After all, the officers and soldiers behind Li Junhao came up and captured Baili Mingyan, and Baili Mingyan was tied up before he even had time to react.

"What are you doing?! Let me go!" Baili Mingyan roared while struggling.

An officer and soldier said: "Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment is ordered to investigate the case himself, so don't resist!"

Baili Mingyan suddenly realized after a pause, but he still struggled and said angrily: "I didn't kill anyone, it was your own mistake! Let me go..."

Li Junhao said indifferently: "Whether there is a murder or not will be decided after the official interrogation."

Baili Mingyan refused to let go: "Why do you arrest people without evidence?!"

"Just rely on this." Li Junhao stepped forward and took a golden token from his waist, and wrote a letter, "If I come in person".

But Baili Mingyan is a Jianghu person who doesn't care about this, secretly trying to break free from the shackles, but Qian Yuhan stepped forward to stop him before he could move.

Qian Yuhan put his hand on his shoulder, leaned over and whispered in his ear: "You go first, I will help you out of trouble as soon as possible." After a pause, Qian Yuhan added: "Up to three days, three days If I still can't find conclusive evidence in a few days, I'll come and take you away." Qian Yuhan's voice was gentle and deep, and seemed to have a strange power, as if he could do it as long as he said it. There is an almost superstitious sense of security.

Baili Mingyan paused for a moment, then calmed down. Seeing the firmness in Qian Yuhan's eyes, he suddenly felt that this person might be reliable.He thought, just trust him for now, not to mention what else to do besides choosing to trust him at this time?

He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you."
