Chapter 490 Getting Stranger (One More)
The wind blows over the pinna, crying like a ghost.

Xia Zhaoyi's small face was pale, and there was a little gray in the corners of her eyes. If it wasn't for the eyes that were still bright when she came back from concentrating her soul, Shen Lie even worried that she would faint on the ground in the next moment.

Xia Zhaoyi slowed down, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's not an important matter, let's go find Shen Fan."

"It's important," Shen Lie said solemnly, "You know how bad your complexion is."

"Is it bad?" Xia Zhaoyi murmured and repeated, paused, turned around, and said as he walked, "Let's go, find Shen Fan first."

Although this trip was not for Shen Nan, it was also because of Shen Nan. Only when she got rid of Shen Nan's affairs, would she have the extra thought to go back to the stone room to take a good look.

All the trance was due to that stone room, and her mental energy was really consumed by that stone room.

"Ali!" Shen Lie called her.

Xia Zhaoyi looked back.

Shen Lie looked at her, thought for a while, stepped forward a few steps, and knelt down in front of the girl: "I'll carry you on my back, don't say distracted, just sleep, I will protect you. "

Xia Zhaoyi was slightly stunned, looking at the boy's broad and straight back, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

After a while, Xia Zhaoyi said, "No need, get up."

She stepped forward and reached out to hold Shen Lie's arm.

"If you let me carry me, I will be very useless," Xia Zhaoyi said, "I came to help you, but in the end I caused you trouble, am I not a joke?"

Shen Lie mo frowned: "Who would laugh at you?"

"Don't worry, I'm really fine. It's not that I'm unwell and insist on being brave. After Shen understands those things, I'll tell you about my worries. Let's go to him first." Xia Zhaoyi said.

Her voice was very soft, very gentle, and slightly hoarse with a sick body. Looking at her pale face, Shen Lie felt even more worried.

But she raised her hand and patted him on the shoulder as if comforting her little brother, and walked past him.

All the way forward, the lights were brightly lit. Although there was a torrent of water in the distance, the tide and fog did not dissipate. The corridor was dry and exuded a musty smell, which was related to the special construction here.

This area has already been searched by them, and the organs that can be found have basically been found, so the way back is smooth without fear.

The marks left by Shen Yan were obvious, but when they followed the marks to find an intersection, the marks changed, appearing on both the left and right sides.

"Shen Jian's mark is difficult for others to imitate in a short period of time," Shen Lie said, "I confirm that the two marks are left by them, but he will definitely not leave such two marks."

"What if both roads lead to each other?"

"Then he will only keep one."

Xia Zhaoyi nodded, looked around, and pulled out the map from his sleeve.

"Maybe the agency involved in the agency room we found is here." Xia Zhaoyi said looking at the map.

"Can the corridor move?" Shen Lie asked.

"En." Xia Zhaoyi nodded.

When they first found their way, there were several loud noises. Adding the one that came down, there were three loud noises in all directions.

The first bang was the bone-filled field full of rats. There were about five bangs, and it was the most violent of the three bangs.

The second place is in the direction of the big waterwheel. I can't remember exactly how many times it rang, but the sound was rather dull, like firecrackers stuffed in a pot.

The third place was equally dull, but with a wider area. There were less than three times in total. When the sound rose, they were looking for their way, and they followed the loud noise, and found a large mechanism in an underground stone room.

There are so many organs involved that it is difficult to see them all at a glance with the torch in hand. The large and small gears are full of rust, and they rotate slowly with a dull sound.

"It's really a big deal," Xia Zhaoyi looked at the map and said, "This Qianqiu Palace, why do I think alchemy is the second priority?"

"It's like a slaughterhouse," Shen Lie said, "Human life is too cheap here, like ants."

"I want to throw up..."

"Are you feeling unwell?" Shen Lie asked hurriedly.

Xia Zhaoyi paused, turned to look at him, curved his lips into a smile, his eyes were as bright as stars.

"No," Xia Zhaoyi said, "I was just muttering, I just don't like it here."

Shen Lie looked at her with serious and helpless eyes, he really didn't know what to say.

Xia Zhaoyi put away the map, looked to the right, and said, "It should be this way, let's go."

"Okay." Shen Lie said.

Stuffing the folded map back into the interlayer of the two sleeves, Xia Zhaoyi narrowed his brows and eyes slightly, and the feeling of unknownness that had been suppressed all this time hit his heart again.

She looked up, the fire was still bright.

In the darkness beyond the map that she has not been to, it seems that there are countless shadowy lonely souls wandering.

She doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, she really doesn't, but she can't even explain why she is still alive.

Why was she able to be reborn, and why was she in the body of this girl named Ah Li?

Xia Zhaoyi suddenly recalled that day when Lin Youqing handed over the ashes of "Miss Xia" to her. The moment of icy coldness pierced her bones, and instantly placed her in the world. The water encroached on her, and she couldn't resist at all, her arms were like a cart.

Now, she underestimated this place too much. When she came here, she didn't expect it to be so weird, and it even seemed to be related to her somewhere.

However, the more this happened, the more she felt that she was in the right place.

Taking a deep breath, Xia Zhaoyi suppressed the emotions in his heart again, not allowing them to disturb her anymore.

On this road, there are several intersections, and the marks left by Shen Ming and the others can be found in these places, proving that there is no mistake.

After about a quarter of an hour, they found a large open space where wooden cages were hung. Chains hanging in seven directions and eight vertical directions hung in the air. There were more than a dozen wooden cages hanging down, and there were bones in the wooden cages.

Further forward is the vast and empty stone steps. The horizontal length of the steps is extremely long. There is a towering large platform at the end of the line of sight under the stone steps. There are three great alchemy furnaces on the platform.

Here the main hall is not like the main hall, nor is the open space, the space is very vast, all the lamp sockets are lit, and the light is still dim.

Xia Zhaoyi and Shen Lie went down to the big stone platform, there were many snake corpses on the ground, and there was half a human body left outside in the mouth of a big snake corpse in the distance.

Looking at the clothes of the corpse, it is a person who is well versed.

There were many pills and residues scattered around the pill furnace, Xia Zhaoyi picked them up with a towel, and heard a deep sound, and found a path behind the stone platform.

"It smells so good..." Xia Zhaoyi stood at the entrance of the steps, sniffed it with his small nose, and said, "But I can't tell what it smells like."

It's familiar, but it's strange when you smell it again, and it becomes another smell.

Her nose seemed to be a little out of order due to illness.

And there is a name in her throat, she can't say it.

"Moonlight Shao." Shen Lie said.

"...Yes," Xia Zhaoyi nodded, "It's Yuexia Shao."

The last time she smelled the fragrance of flowers was half a year ago in the Dragon and Tiger Hall, in the garden of the bandit son.

"This is from the Qiao family," Xia Zhaoyi frowned, "How can the Yuexia Shao, which is unique to the Qiao family, be here?"
