Jiaochu

When they arrived at the back mountain, the little Taoist priest led everyone along a small path and entered a bamboo forest. Huo Xuan said that he had been here before and got lost. Fortunately, he met the old Taoist priest, otherwise he would have spent the night there. Ye Lingxi asked him if it was easy to get lost here. Huo Xuan said that there were bamboos everywhere and it was impossible to tell the north, south, east, and west. Ye Lingxi asked him to follow closely to avoid getting lost.

However, when turning into the next path, Huo Xuan saw a bright light swaying next to him, like the light of a lantern, and then disappeared. In just a blink of an eye, the person in front of him disappeared.

The light of the lantern swayed slightly in front. The only people following the little Taoist priest were Ye Lingxi, Yan Fei and Su Shi. She noticed something strange in the bamboo forest, so she pulled their clothes with her hands to prevent them from getting separated. Yes, she also reminded Huo Xuan, but they still got separated.

"Isn't it here yet?" she asked.

The little Taoist priest replied: "Right in front."

The hazy light passed slowly and slowly through the green bamboos on both sides, and the surroundings were quiet and profound. After about a quarter of an hour, the four of them arrived in front of a stone door. The stone door was embedded in the mountain wall. The little Taoist priest stepped forward and flipped the Bagua lock on the stone door. The stone door Opened in response. When the little Taoist priest was about to go in, a saber was pressed against his neck. The knife was not unsheathed. Yan Fei asked him who he was. The little Taoist priest said, "He is inside." Ye Lingxi asked, "The high priest or... Emperor Zhou?" the little Taoist priest replied, "They are all here."

After the four people entered, the stone door was closed.

After walking along the deep corridor to the end, there were steps in front of them. The three of them followed the little Taoist priest to the last step. It was pitch black in front of them and nothing could be seen. The little Taoist priest stepped in, and the lanterns dimly lit up. Like a tiny moth, it was gradually swallowed up in the dark abyss.

Ye Lingxi looked at the hazy halo, as if she was frightened by the vague halo, and unconsciously stepped into the darkness, and suddenly stepped on the air, as if she fell into the abyss... etc. When she came back to her senses, she found that she had fallen to the ground, surrounded by darkness and couldn't see anything. She reached out and touched, but there was nothing in front of her. When she called Yan Fei and Su, there was no response.

At this time, a dim light shone in the distance, getting closer and closer. It was the lantern, but it was held in the hand of another person. The other person was dressed in white, like a cold and relegated immortal, but she couldn't see the other person's face clearly. Asked who he was, he stretched out a hand towards her and said, "I'll take you out." Hearing the other party's voice, she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity in her heart, but she still remained vigilant. When asked who he was, he stretched out his hand. He touched her head and said, "I promised you that I would pick you up when you grow up."

When I heard this sentence, my memory seemed to suddenly come back to life.

"When you grow up, I will come to pick you up."

At that time, he reached out and touched her head like this, and also gave her a fish, saying that it would take care of her for him. She remembered that it was the Black Overlord.

"Now, I'm here to pick you up." He stretched out his hand to her again. She raised her hand and hesitated when she was about to put it up. She didn't know why she suddenly felt sad, as if something important was about to be forgotten.

A trace of crystal light reflected by the jade bracelet suddenly flashed into her eyes. She immediately retracted her hand, shook her head holding the jade bracelet on her hand, and said she couldn't leave. The surrounding darkness gradually dissipated, and the cold figure who was like an immortal gradually became blurred. , as if there was a sigh left behind when it disappeared, it was so light that it could not be heard.

"Princess?!"

It was Yan Fei's voice. She heard it clearly and responded loudly, "I'm here!" She shouted to Yan Fei loudly. When the other person's figure appeared in the field of vision, she rushed over and hugged him, "Brother Yan Fei , where have you been?" Her voice was slightly choked and nasal, as if she was about to cry, and she hugged him tighter with her hands, "I thought I would never see you again." Yan Fei also said She hugged him tightly, fearing that if she let go, she would not be able to find him again.

"Small banquet? Princess?"

Su Shi's voice came from the other side, and both of them responded loudly. After the three of them got together again, they saw the dim light of the lantern. Not far in front, there seemed to be a person lying next to the lantern.

Yan Fei walked in front, followed by Ye Lingxi and Su Shi. After approaching, Ye Lingxi stared at the man's face, his expression was first surprised and then happy, saying that this was Emperor Zhou, Yan Fei and Su Shi They had never met each other before, so hearing her say this felt a bit incredible. I didn't expect someone to show up here. Emperor Zhou had his eyes closed, his face was green and pale, and he looked like a dead person. His cheeks were sunken and he was so thin that he was almost skin and bones.

Yanfei knelt down and checked the other person's breath, and found that there was another person next to him. He picked up the lantern and stretched it over to shine a light. It was the high priest. The person passed out. He didn't know whether he was knocked unconscious or drugged. Faint.

Ye Lingxi looked around, but did not find the little Taoist priest. Yan Fei carried Emperor Zhou on his back. Ye Lingxi and Su Shi lifted the high priest and came out of the underground secret room.

But the stone door at the entrance was still closed. Yanfei touched the mechanism on the stone wall on one side. After pressing it, the stone door slowly opened. Yanfei carried Emperor Zhou out, and Ye Lingxi and Su Shi worked together to carry out the high priest. . She took out the medicinal oil and gave it to the high priest to smell. It didn't take long for him to wake up. As soon as he opened his eyes, he was faced with a shiny cold knife. He was so frightened that his face trembled and he quickly begged for mercy.

Yanfei asked him to tell everything he knew. The high priest said that he also followed the queen's orders, but was forced to do it and wanted to clean himself. Ye Lingxi stood on tiptoe and whispered a few words in Yanfei's ear. Yanfei asked him to stand up. The high priest hesitated for a second, and the shining tip of the knife came closer, and he immediately stood up. Yan Fei put away his knife and took out a golden rope from his sleeve. This was specially used by Long Shadow Guard to tie people up. He tied up the opponent's hands and asked him to lead the way.

After entering the bamboo forest, the high priest played tricks again, saying that his head was still a little dizzy and he couldn't remember the way out, so he asked Yan Fei to untie the rope first, and he made calculations.

Ye Lingxi said that she could also calculate, pinch her fingers to calculate, raise her hand to point, and say which way to go. The high priest was secretly shocked, wondering who this Princess Huayang was, who could actually break the maze set up in the bamboo forest. Seeing that she couldn't be fooled, she could only take one step at a time, and then think of a way to escape.

"May I ask how Her Royal Highness found this place?" the high priest asked humbly.

Ye Lingxi said: "Of course there are experts to give guidance." Then he asked, "Why are you here, sir, and you have fainted?"

The high priest said angrily: "The lower official was also deceived by an adulterer, and he accidentally fell into his trap."

"Who caused everyone to stumble?" Ye Lingxi asked.

The high priest asked: "Did the princess meet anyone when she came?"

Ye Lingxi told the story about the little Taoist priest, and the high priest said angrily that he had fallen into his trap. Yanfei ridiculed that the high priest was lucky and did not lose his life. The high priest was holding his breath in his heart, but he had to agree with him, After all, people have to bow their heads under the eaves.

Suddenly, a green bamboo next to her bent down, and a strange face with tongue hanging out appeared in front of Ye Lingxi. Regardless of whether he was a human or a ghost, she punched him.

Yan Fei and Su Shi both looked surprised. They didn't know whether they were surprised by the sudden grimace or Ye Lingxi's extremely silky fist.

"Ah~" A scream echoed through the bamboo forest, and Huo Xuan fell to the ground. She covered one eye and quickly identified herself to avoid getting punched again. After getting separated before, he got lost again. After wandering around for a long time, he accidentally saw the light of a lantern. He saw a group of people coming and hid on the bamboo to scare them. In the end, he lost a lot of money and lost a lot of money. Instead, he got lucky.

Yanfei handed Emperor Zhou to his back. Huo Xuan was frightened again when she saw Emperor Zhou's miserable appearance. She carried him lightly on her back, thinking to herself, how many days had she been hungry?
When we returned to the city, it was already late at night.
