Exile opening: I won with the Universal Maker

Chapter 340
Shen Yuexi stepped on the withered leaves on the ground, and the thick leaves made a crisp cracking sound.

She and Xiao Zhuo had passed by the outermost edge of this dense forest before, and rescued Feng Zhang who was being chased by a tiger.At that time, she didn't know that it was so deep inside, there were trees as far as she could see, and there was no road under her feet, which made her unable to recognize the direction.

Looking up at the sky, the dim sunlight falls from the gaps in the heavy branches, and scattered light spots on the dead leaves all over the ground.

"Doctor You, are you deliberately leading us around?" She called to stop Doctor You who was walking in the front.

Dr. You clasped his hands in his sleeves, turned around and said, "What's the use of me taking you around? I'm an old man in his 60s, and I can't run away. This road leads to that place, don't be so anxious. "

Ji Yunyan, who was guarding him with a sword, said: "My sister is with me, he can't escape."

Dr. You nodded and said, "Miss Ji is the one who can see clearly. This place is extremely secretive. If it was so easy to get there, the villagers of Daliang would have discovered it all these years ago."

Mei Dai was by Shen Yuexi's side, the two walked hand in hand, and walked for a while, Mei Dai said, "What's the smell in the wind?"

Hearing this, Shen Yuexi also sniffed, and sure enough, she also smelled a faint stench in the wind.She seemed to have smelled it before.

"It smells like a tiger," Dr. You said without looking back, "There are tigers here."

As soon as these words came out, Shen Yuexi couldn't help becoming nervous, and Mei Dai's holding her hand became a little bit harder, and Ji Yunyan looked around vigilantly.

"It used to be," Dr. You muttered, "Master sent two tigers to guard the entrance. It was so easy to give birth to a cub, but you killed it."

Shen Yuexi quickly calculated in her heart.At that time, she and Xiao Zhuo met one big and one small, three minus two, there should be a big tiger.

"Then there is another one, where is it?" She looked around nervously.

Ji Yunyan's swordsmanship is superb, and she is actually more effective than Xiao Zhuo.But for some reason, she just felt guilty.

"It's old and dead," Doctor You said with a smile back, "It's an animal, unlike a human that can live for so many years. Rest assured, if there are tigers, the first one to be eaten will be the old man. The front is here."

Turning around a row of trees, a flat land appeared in front of it. The flat land was a hill in the past. At the foot of the hill was a stone cave as tall as a person.Near the entrance of the cave, gray and white bones were scattered all over the place.

Shen Yuexi swallowed, and closed her eyes involuntarily.

"Sister, don't be afraid, these are the bones of wild beasts." Mei Dai comforted softly, "I can see clearly, there are bones of rabbits and pigs."

Dr. You walked to the entrance of the cave and stopped: "The entrance is in this cave."

Shen Yuexi opened her eyes and said, "Isn't this a tiger's den?"

"It's right here, it's a place like this, ordinary people can't find it." Dr. You spread his hands, "I've said it all, if this place wasn't hidden, it would have been discovered a long time ago."

Holding a sword in one hand, Ji Yunyan lit the Huozhe she carried with her in the other, and said to Dr. You: "You lead the way ahead, don't play any tricks."

Doctor You smiled, took the fire pack from Ji Yunyan, and walked into the cave, followed by Shen Yuexi and others.

The cave is fairly spacious, enough for three people to walk side by side.The stench was even heavier, and the light from the fire shone on the uneven stone walls, alternating light and dark.Covering her mouth and nose with her hands, Shen Yuexi walked zigzagging for a while, and kicked a few piles of dead bones on the way. Fortunately, she knew it was the bones of wild animals, so she was not frightened.

She said to Mei Dai: "Sister Mei, the ground of this tiger's den is quite flat."

Mei Dai groped with her hands on the stone wall: "This is not a natural formation, it was excavated artificially. It was later used by tigers as a nest."

"There is no way ahead." Ji Yunyan turned her head and said to the two of them.

Dr. You said: "Don't shout, hold the torch for me."

After Ji Yunyan took the fire bag, Dr. You bent over and knelt on the ground, reaching out and groping around on the ground.Not long after, he hooked an iron ring on the ground, pulled it with both hands, but did not move.

"Help me anyway, I'm old and can't lift it." He greeted.

Ji Yunyan stepped forward and held the iron ring with one hand, and the two pulled it upwards together.A large thick iron plate was lifted slowly, revealing the dark passage below, and the fire folds shone on the edge of the passage, revealing several steps.

Shen Yuexi approached the entrance, feeling a chilly wind rushing up from below, with a pungent and unpleasant smell.She had never been to such a place before, and she was a little scared in her heart, and said, "This is it?"

"Of course," Dr. You fixed the cover with the help of Ji Yunyan, took the fire bag, and walked down the steps first, "The old man will lead the way, you just follow."

Dr. You is the first, Ji Yunyan is the second.Mei Dai took Shen Yuexi's hand and said: "Sister, let's follow."

"Yes, if you don't enter the tiger's lair, how can you catch a tiger's cub." Shen Yuexi emboldened herself, and walked down carefully on the moss-covered steps.

After walking sixty or seventy steps down the stairs, the eyes suddenly opened up.

Shen Yuexi looked at the space illuminated by the fire in surprise, and couldn't believe everything in front of her eyes, even Ji Yunyan and Mei Dai showed shocking expressions.

In front of everyone was a dark long corridor, and on the left and right were rooms with carved lacquer and painted columns. If it weren't for the stone wall above her head, Shen Yuexi would never have believed that there were such buildings underground.

Dr. You lit the torches on the long corridor one by one with a torch: "Aren't you also shocked? Master started doing this when he was nine years old, and it took three years just to have someone dig this crypt." years."

Shen Yuexi looked left and right along the long corridor, and saw that the rooms stretched out in rows, and there was not even a long corridor, and there was a crossroad in front of it.Looking around the intersection, there are still various rooms.

"What are these rooms for?" She pushed open the door of a room and looked inside.

There are beds, tables, screens, and bookshelves inside, much like the room she remembered in the Chinese government.

Mei Dai pushed open the doors of the rooms on the other side of the corridor to check one by one, and said, "Sister, these rooms are arranged according to the rooms in Fengqi Palace. This is for the empress to meet with concubines... This room is for sleeping. This room is for dancing practice."

"As expected of a concubine Xian, I remember it very clearly," Dr. You blew out the torch, "Some of the rooms here are completely arranged according to the rooms of Duke Pei's mansion, and some are completely arranged according to Fengqi Palace."

Shen Yuexi said: "So Wen Yi has lived underground for so many years?"

Dr. You laughed and said, "If you want to confuse the real with the false, then there must be no flaws at all. You must not even be able to recognize Pei Guogong, his wife and her sister."

Shen Yuexi was a little puzzled, and said: "Where did Pei Jingyun find such a similar woman. No matter how similar, parents shouldn't be unable to tell the difference."

Dr. You smiled but did not answer.

At this time, on the other side of the corridor, Ji Yunyan said: "Come and see, there is a stone gate here."

Several people walked over, Ji Yunyan touched the stone door and said, "What's behind this door?"

Doctor You said: "Behind the stone gate is the answer to Shen Yuexi's question just now. The answer took several years for the master to find. I'll look for the agency. After so many years, I can't remember clearly."

Shen Yuexi stood in front of the stone gate in doubt, and said to Mei Dai: "Pei Jingyun spent so much effort just to let Wen Yi enter the palace instead of her."

Mei Dai nodded, and said: "I never imagined that she would do this to achieve her goal. She actually dug out such a large space underground."

"I found it," Dr. You shouted happily from the side, "I'll open the door right away."

He fiddled with the corner a few times, there were rumbling sounds inside the stone door, the sound of the mechanism turning, and the stone door slowly rose.

Just now he said that behind the stone gate is the answer to Shen Yuexi's question.Shen Yuexi was very curious about what was inside, and when the stone door was raised, she couldn't wait to bend down and look inside.

The first thing that caught the eye was a skeleton wearing a lake-green palace dress. His white eye sockets were staring at her strangely. A centipede poked its head out of the eye sockets, looking around, shaking its tentacles.

Even though she was experienced in many battles, she was shocked. Before she could cry out, skeletons in various costumes rushed towards her head-on.

The three of them were women after all, and they didn't take precautions, and were scared out of their wits.Shen Yuexi and Mei Dai screamed and hugged each other tightly, and even Ji Yunyan squatted down.

After the chaos subsided, Shen Yuexi raised her head tremblingly, then took a look around, and then quickly buried her head on Mei Dai's shoulder.

I don't know how many skeletons in different postures are scattered around the three of them, piled up in several layers.There are still several skulls rolling slowly on the ground, if there are more, they can be buried under it.

Nima, surrounded by so many skeletons at once, if she hadn't been well-informed, she would have died of fright.

"These dead people," Ji Yunyan, who was a martial artist, was more courageous and spoke out first, "They are all women, and they seem to be crowding behind this stone gate. They rushed out when the stone gate opened."

When someone spoke, Shen Yuexi became more courageous.Anyway, they are all dead, and besides, there are no ghosts and gods, so don't be afraid.

Mei Dai also regained her strength, got up and patted off the wriggling centipede on her sleeve, and pulled Shen Yuexi out of the pile of skeletons: "Yunyan, these dead... I understand."

Shen Yuexi covered her chest with her hand, still feeling her heart beating violently: "Who are they?"

"They all used to be Wen Yi." Mei Dai said slowly.

"Ah?" Shen Yuexi didn't understand what Mei Dai meant for a moment, "It's all Wen Yi?"

Mei Dai pointed it out to her: "Sister, look, these skeletons are all women, they are all about the same height, and their skeletons are also similar..."

Shen Yuexi suddenly understood why Wen Yi was able to hide the truth.

Doctor You said that the answer was behind the door, and he was right.These are all women that Pei Jingyun found with similar appearance to her, and there are more than a hundred of them by count.But with so many women, most of them will gradually have differences in body shape and appearance as they grow older, and they cannot hide it from others. In the end, only Wen Yi succeeded.

Just to achieve a Wen Yi who can hide from the world, but there are so many innocent women buried in the dark underground.

"Where's Dr. You?" Shen Yuexi suddenly found that Dr. You was gone.

Ji Yunyan paused and said: "Mistake, he took advantage of the chaos just now and ran away!"

The three of them were looking around in panic, when Dr. You's voice came from nowhere: "Hehe, I've closed the exit. You, like that meddlesome poor scholar, will starve to death here."

Then the crypt fell silent.
