Zhe Jinchun

Chapter 233 Before Dawn

"Prince Jing hid here, and he died before he could escape into the secret path, and the secret path was also buried here, but he was known by Gu Cha. This is God's will."

In memory, the shady man said so, the golden crown on his hair glowed coldly under the moonlight.

The reason for discovering that secret path is all because of the word "clever".In the 19th year of Zhongyuan, Emperor Zhongyuan, who began to believe in Taoism, suddenly became interested and allocated a sum of money to have people renovate Baiyun Temple as a whole. When renovating those quiet rooms, some craftsmen accidentally discovered this place.

The craftsman and all those who knew were executed immediately, and this secret path has since become a real secret, only Emperor Zhongyuan knew about it.

This secret path leads to the foot of Ciyun Ridge, and the exit is hidden in a deserted earth temple. Not far south from the earth temple is the official road.

After discovering this secret path, Emperor Zhongyuan ordered people to stop repairing Baiyun Temple. It was not until the 28th year of Zhongyuan that he took Qin Sunan on a tour, and he took her for a walk in person.

In this life, Qin Su often needs to use this secret path, so it is necessary for her to explore it in advance.

Thinking of this in her heart, she bent down slightly again, and looked at Ah Kui who was sitting on the porch.

Aoi had already fallen asleep leaning against the pillar.

Qin Su stretched out his hand to push her, and her body leaned limply to one side, breathing evenly, obviously the drug was taking effect.

That's it.

Qin Su raised the corners of her lips, stood up and looked around.

The surrounding area was still quiet, and there was no sound in the whole yard. The only sound that could be heard was the sound of "Bippo" when the Sutra Library in the distance was burned by the fire.

She lifted the hem of her skirt, and under the cover of smoke and night, she walked quickly on the mountain path for less than half an hour, and then came to the Danjing room.

The former Danjing room has now become ruins all over the place.The stone house was gone, only large pieces of broken stones were piled on the ground, many stones were broken from the middle, and the fractures were criss-crossed, like the wounds cut by lightning on the ground, ugly and shocking.

However, the corridor of Danjing Room still exists.These wooden buildings seem to be more able to withstand the manipulation of the Creator than stone blocks. Qin Su looked at the dilapidated scene in front of him, like the previous life, and there seemed to be stars dancing in his cold eyes.

She first went to the stone house where A Gu passed out, checked A Gu's body, and made sure that she had passed away.

After verifying that she was upright, Qin Su turned out of the corridor briskly, walked about a hundred steps towards the cliff, and came to the half-broken wall in memory.

There used to be a high wall here, but now there is nothing left.

According to the memory of the previous life, Qin Su lowered his body and touched the bricks on the wall one by one. The mechanism that opened the secret path was behind a certain brick, and there was a hidden pull ring under the loose brick.

Black and yellow clouds rolled in the night sky, but there was no light.

Under the ruined wall, there was a thick darkness, and the distant fire passed through the broken stone wall, projected from the top of Qin Su's head, and disappeared in the endless darkness.

With a soft "click", Qin Su's movements stopped abruptly, and the frowning brows were loosened.

found it!
As she looked around, she carefully pulled out the brick, and within reach of her fingertips was a cold ring-shaped metal object.

This cold and hard touch made her heart shudder with joy.

This pull ring seemed to be the most gracious invitation, giving her vague expectations and vague hopes.

With a smile on her face, she gently pulled the iron ring, listening to the dull "click" sound in her ears, and looked at the hole slowly revealed under the ruined wall.

At that moment, the way she looked at the cave seemed to be looking at the most precious treasure in the world, full of joy and joy.

Holding the hem of her skirt, Qin Su carefully leaned out and stepped down the deep hole.

At that moment, she couldn't help but think of that "Piaoxiang Teahouse".

That was the place where she had made an appointment with Fu Peng long ago.

Qin Su's lips curled up.

It was really an excellent place to meet, just like this ruined Taoist temple.

For Qin Su, the connection between these two places and the building on Donglaifu Street is a way for the Qin family to survive.

It was opened by her own hands, the road to tomorrow...

**************************
The sky before dawn was as black as ink, without any glimmer of light.

Thunder still sounded from time to time, but the lightning was not as strong as it was in the middle of the night, and only occasionally appeared in the clouds, as if there was a giant holding a candle, shuttling between the thick clouds.

The aftershocks have subsided, but the noise in the city has not yet calmed down. The lights lit by every house and house reflect the dark clouds in the sky.

As straight as the end of the world will be destroyed.

Xue Yunyan stood under the eaves of the corridor with his hands behind his back, looking at the dark sky in the distance, his calm eyebrows looked like distant mountains, like empty valleys, leisurely and calm, without emotion.

"It seems to have passed." Xue Yunheng's voice came, as clear and pleasant as before, but there was a hint of compassion in it.

At this moment, his mood was really complicated.

He was thinking about the letter left by Mr. Dongling Ye.

The first letter Xue Yunyan got led them to find the lost piece of human skin.

Zou Yishou was indeed very shrewd, he actually thought of hiding the human skin in the biggest trick house in Shangjing City - the Furong Hall, I don't know how he did it.

The piece of human skin has been carefully tanned. Lime and ice flakes are placed in the box containing the human skin to prevent it from rotting. Blood table, and recorded the location of the hidden evidence.

"This blood book on the surface should be tattooed a year ago. The imprint on it has penetrated deep into the skin and is indelible." After inspecting the piece of human skin, Duan Ma said so, and then pointed at the person The short passage under the skin, the tattoo in that place, are the places where the evidence is hidden.Duan Ma explained: "These small characters were only tattooed on, at most not more than half a month old, the red seal is still fresh, and there is no penetration under the skin."

"A year ago, Zheng Yishou gathered all the evidence. At that time, he knew that the matter was dangerous, so he stabbed a blood letter on his chest to show his determination and to keep it secret." After seeing the piece of human skin Afterwards, Mr. Chen felt a little emotional, stroked his beard and sighed: "He may want to leave some more clues so that we can find this piece of human skin. It's a pity that we didn't have time."

Mr. Bai also agreed with this statement: "It should be so. He fell at the gate of the city, probably on purpose, just to show us the way. At that time, he may have realized that he could not escape to the capital. gone."

Mr. Bai is a counselor under Xue Yunyan's sect, and he is also a scheming figure.

After the two gentlemen had finished expressing their views, they looked at each other, and there was a bit of embarrassment on their faces.

Zou Yishou is indeed a talented person, and what is even more rare is his perseverance and determination, and he can be so cruel to himself.It's a pity that others are so weak that they can't succeed in the end, which is really regrettable.

"Look for things first, then save people. Mr. Dongling, you are really ingenious." Thinking about the past, Xue Yunheng sighed slightly, and there was a solemnity rarely seen in his narrow eyes.

He walked slowly to Xue Yunyan, put his hands behind his back, looked at the thick dark clouds in the eastern sky, seemed to be in a daze, and after a long time, Fang asked: "Those certificates... are all collected?"

"It's all set." Xue Yunyan said, looking into the distance, far away and empty: "Zheng Chengwei is extremely careful, and he has some tricks. He hides things all over the road from Fujie to Shangjing. He even set up anagrams. If my surname is not Xue, I'm afraid I still can't get it all. Some things, or what happened when Fu Jie and Xia Chenghu met, he wrote it all into the riddle, and calculated it very accurately."

When it comes to business, he obviously talked too much, but his expression was indifferent, as if he had no intentions.

　Thank you Zhenyiyi Children's Shoes for the two amulets.Thank you for your monthly pass.The new year is here, happy new year everyone.
