The character design of the Flower of the High Ridge has collapsed

Chapter 89
There were guards holding torches in front of me, and several people walked down the secret room from the stone steps. Before going down, Song Zheng said to his guards: "Strictly guard, no one is allowed to enter."

After a few people entered, they found that the surrounding area was surrounded by walls made of bronze. After walking the stone steps for more than ten quarters of an hour, it was only when they reached the bottom that they realized why the place was so humid.

The reason is that the bottom is full of water, probably no more than a person's calf, and several people are groping forward with dripping water.

Jiang Youzhi was holding an oil lamp in her hand. She was close to the wall here, covered with green moss mud. She bent down slightly, and tried to reach into the water to feel for it. silt.

After Pei Xun saw it, he asked, "Is there any question?"

"I can't tell. The structure here is very strange." Jiang Youzhi shook her head, and bent her body harder. When she groped to the side of the wall, she felt a shape similar to a groove. Going forward, she found this groove. The groove extends all the way forward.

When they came to a fork in the road, Song Zheng wanted to send troops to divide into two ways, and go to explore the road first, but Jiang Youzhi stopped him.

"Wait a minute." As she spoke, she took out a light object that looked like a copper coin but was not made of copper from her sleeve, and gently placed it on the water.

Seeing that thing was about to float away in one direction with the current, she said: "The underwater groove is for drainage. There should be no water here, but due to years of disrepair, the drainage has been blocked." The current stagnant water is due to the blockage of silt, but the drainage has not completely failed, so the water above will still flow, and we should follow the direction of the water flow, which should be right."

Ah Chang behind her was a little puzzled and said, "But why is there so much silt and stagnant water here?"

Jiang Youzhi said: "I guess, the outside of this secret room is connected to the tidal flat."

Several people walked out of the drainage system following the direction of the water flow. After resting in place for a few quarters of an hour, they continued to move forward.

The aisle just now was very narrow, even enough for one person to stand alone, but now the field of vision has gradually become wider, and the surrounding walls have also changed from bronze to stone, a bit like a natural cave.

It was another fork in the road. A few people first walked along the east road. After more than a quarter of an hour, they walked to the end and found that it was a dead end, but there was a stone step on the southwest side, which was rugged and connected to a stone slab. .

Jiang Youzhi said, "This should also be a temporary entrance."

Ah Chang said, "This subordinate will go up and have a look."

Pei Xun nodded: "Be careful in everything."

After Ah Chang went up, he pushed the stone slab hard, and found that the stone slab was poured very firmly, so he shouted at Pei Xun: "My lord, I can't open it, do you want to open it by force?"

"No." Jiang Youzhi shouted at A Chang. The first time she forced it open from the outside, she didn't know what was inside. Now she has understood that this is a secret room, so there must be a mechanism, otherwise the builder would have Why did he spend a lot of time building this secret room.

Then he shouted to Ah Chang again: "A Chang, you come down first, let me go up and have a look."

"Yes." When Ah Chang came down, Jiang Youzhi climbed up, and when she reached the top of the block, she tried to push it with her palm first, and found that it was indeed as Ah Chang said.

Then she carefully groped around the gaps in the stone slabs, and found a protruding arc-shaped stone in the gap on the east side. She tried to press it, but found that her strength was not enough.

She stood on her tiptoes and pressed hard, only to hear the sound of a rotating shaft rolling. At this time, she pushed the stone slab upward with her palm, and it became easy. An abandoned house.

I heard that this place was because someone had hanged himself, and after the room was vacated, every owner said that he could hear a woman sobbing in the middle of the night, which scared people out of their wits. Later, they found someone to do ghost exorcism, but it was of no avail , Over time, this room was sealed enough, and it was completely abandoned.

Let’s not say whether this story is true or not, but it is precisely because of such a shocking story that everyone does not take the initiative to approach this room. Now that I think about it, I am afraid it is to deceive people.

When she came down, Song Zheng asked, "Where is that up there?"

Jiang Youzhi patted the dirt on his hands, and said, "It's an abandoned house in Jiaofang Division. It should be just a temporary exit. We have to go back and look at the other side."

Immediately, several people returned the same way, chose the west side of the fork and continued to walk forward. After two hours, they finally figured out the way in the secret room, but there was no valuable object stored here at all times. Presumably, they used the This secret room transports things.

When he was about to go back, because the oil lamp was almost burned out, the road under his feet was getting darker and darker. Jiang Youzhi walked to a corner, because he didn't see the stones below, he slipped and almost fell.

Pei Xun on the side quickly supported her, while Jiang Youzhi grabbed Pei Xun's sleeve with one hand, and subconsciously leaned against the wall with the other, but because of her haste, her palms were a little hard.

But the voice next to her ear made Jiang Youzhi suddenly realize something, she quickly stood still, and then hit the wall with her fist.

She turned her head to look at Pei Xun, and Pei Xun immediately stepped forward and knocked a few times clearly: "This wall is empty."

Jiang Youzhi nodded, and kept knocking around the wall, trying to find the mechanism. Then, an inconspicuous raised stone on the east side of the door caught her attention.

The shape of this square stone is extremely irregular, which seems to be formed naturally. Jiang Youngzhi groped to put it on the stone, pressed down gently with one finger, and then it was like a key unlocked, and an unknown object came out of the stone. The block below suddenly falls.

When Jiang Youzhi retreated subconsciously, there was a pulling sound, and the door in front of him opened.

The door was very dark, so Ah Chang said to Pei Xun, "My lord, let the subordinates go explore the way first."

Seeing Pei Xun nod his head, Ah Chang drew out the sword at his waist and stepped forward cautiously. After a few quarters of an hour, Ah Chang's voice came out: "Who is here?"

Everyone went in immediately, and only one person was facing the wall. Her hair was disheveled, and her clothes were a little tattered. When she heard the sound behind her, she didn't turn her head back. She just smiled mockingly: "This Are you ready to kill me?"

Hearing this voice, Jiang Youzhi couldn't help but frowned. Because he was too familiar, he asked, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

The woman said: "What? This is your new trick? How do you want to torture me today? You can just do it directly."
