The oath of rebirth not to be a concubine

Chapter 272 Carved Box

That's your business, not mine.

"you do not believe?"

The fire was burnt out, and it went out with a whoosh, and the surroundings were plunged into darkness again.

I touched Mo Que instinctively, but I heard him slowly say, "Thinking about it, it's really strange."

You have never been kind to each other, and this time we met, there were two or three times of murderous intentions. I knew it every time, but I didn't want to blame it.Tolerate in my heart again and again, as if I owed you something in my previous life. "

You really owe me!

You owe me love, you owe my life, you owe the Feng family thousands of debts and justice!

I held Mo Que tightly, but for some reason, my hand was shaking.

He sighed, and said again, "Princess Ning'an, do you still remember what Tianqi said to you in Xiqi back then? Even today, those words still hold true.

If I were Qing Emperor in other years, the retribution and peach blossoms will bloom together.Now that Tian Qi is the emperor of Dongmu, if you wish, the crown of Dongmu's successor is yours. "

It's ridiculous.

At the beginning, I gave up everything, just wanted to marry him.Now, he can casually promise me the next position, but I really don't care about it at all.

The more he is like this, the more pathetic I feel for myself.

What he wanted most, turned out to be... what he could promise to others at will.

"Tick...tick..."

The sound of water rang rhythmically.

The past is over, lovesickness turns to ashes.

All affection has dissipated with the wind, leaving only endless hatred.

Those things that were once the most important, after all, are no longer needed...

Baili Tianqi sighed suddenly, "Princess Ning'an, do you still remember the old man I told you about? That old man is my fiancée."

I narrowed my eyes sharply.

He sighed softly, "Back then, I lost her in front of my eyes, but these years, every late at night, I tossed and turned, thinking about the past years.

I used to have her by my side, and I didn't understand why she was always acting like a fool, but now I finally understand, it's because I care.The same is true of Tianqi's feelings for the princess.

Knowing that you always want to kill me, I am willing to jump down with you.Even now, you hold a knife in your hand and want to rush over and stab me in the heart to take my life at any time, I am still willing to pretend that I don't care, just sit quietly opposite, and say what I want to say. "

he knows!
I was startled, but I didn't let go of Mo Que.

He suddenly chuckled and stopped talking.

Since he was able to speak clearly, he must be prepared.If I rush to kill him, I will not succeed.

Since I can't kill him for the time being...

I pondered for a while, and said, "Now, it's not the time to talk about these things, let's think about how to get out of here."

I took advantage of the darkness to sit up straight, pressed and turned over.I have quite a few scrapes on my body, although it hurts when I press it, but it is not serious.The most serious injury was on the left side of the head, where it was broken. When I touched it with my hand, there was a throbbing pain, but the bleeding stopped.

Regrettably, the medicine pouch on his waist was missing, and there was no food at all except a handful of Mo Que and the only pill.

He said earlier that there was a cave-in in the stone chamber, but I don't think everyone died.

Xuanyuan Chen and the others are all masters, and Liu Dehai has some skills, so he will definitely find a way to escape.

Five hours is not too short a time...

I haven't found it yet, and there are only two possibilities.

There is no way to turn on the machine to find me, or I am still trying to figure out a way.

No matter what the possibility is, I can't just wait where I am, and either find a way to leave or find a way to go up.

This place is too high from the top, I'm afraid it's impossible to go up, so I have to leave first.

It's a pity that I can't use my strength for the time being, otherwise...

There was silence around, Baili Tianqi remained silent.If it weren't for the sound of "tick..." coming from a distance, I wouldn't even think he existed.

After a while, there was a sound of groping in the darkness, and then, "呵...", a bean of fire ignited.

"Okay, let's leave first and then talk."

He straightened up, raised the fire fold, the flames kept tilting to the north side, which happened to be the direction where the sound of dripping water came from, and he headed forward.

I got up to leave, but suddenly thought of something, I carved a few large characters on the ground with the ink que, and then walked forward slowly with him.

The light of Huozhezi is weak after all. In this pitch black area, it is like a firefly. The ground is full of stones. I fell from a high place, and my whole body hurts. When I walk, I stumble and stumble. When it came to my wound, I was in a cold sweat from the pain.

At this time, I thought of Xuanyuan Chen again.

I cut a little finger, and he felt so distressed. Knowing that I am in such a mess now, he will definitely feel sorry for me.

I don't know what happened to him...

I sighed secretly, and walked forward more carefully. Just like this, after walking for nearly an hour, the water in the air became bigger, and the stone under my feet turned into sand at some point. The further I walked, the ground was muddy. The deeper it gets, the harder it is to pull it out.

I suddenly thought of the countless dry bones under the rotten leaves when I first entered the mountain, my stomach churned and I almost vomited it out.

"How are you?" Baili Tianqi stopped.

I shook my head and said, "It's okay, let's go on."

He pondered for a while, then took out all the fire folders from his sleeve, divided them into two parts, handed them to me, and said, "Take these, one can burn for half an hour, I will go to the front Look, you are waiting in place, if you are afraid, just light one, I will come back as soon as possible, before I come back, you don't want to wander around."

I looked at the seven or eight fire folds in my hand, thought for a while, and finally nodded and agreed.

He didn't hesitate, and immediately walked forward quickly holding the torch.

I stood quietly on the spot until the spark was so bright that I could not see it, I quickly took out the only pill from my sleeve, put it in my mouth and melted it, and my whole body seemed to be filled with warmth.

I took a few deep breaths, and then focused on watching...

Perhaps the body is too weak, and everything he sees becomes blurred.I quickly turned my gaze upwards, piercing through the darkness to see above...

little by little...

I finally found the stone room where I fell. As Baili Tianqi said, the stone room had collapsed. There were huge boulders in a mess, and there were many dry blood stains, but there was no corpse on the ground.

I felt relieved, as long as there were no corpses, as I thought, they were all fine.

I looked along the stone chamber again, and after only a certain distance, my sight suddenly went black, my head became dizzy, my legs went limp, and I almost fell into the mud.

I quickly slid out of Mo Que, flipped the sword body into three feet according to the mechanism, stabbed it vertically on the ground and supported it, and finally stabilized my body.

After a while, I wiped the sweat from my brow.

It seems that this power can no longer be used...

"Squeak...squeak..."

Suddenly there was a strange cry in the silent darkness, I was startled, and I quickly lit a torch, and under the light of the beans, a big fat rat was startled, turned around and ran eastward.

mouse?

What does it eat to live?

Along the way, I didn't see any living things, but at this time I saw a mouse...

There is a way!

I was overjoyed, and hurriedly followed it behind.

Seeing me chasing after me, the big rat was even more startled. It ran with all its strength on four short legs.

After a while, it walked to a mountain wall, walked close to the mountain road for a while, "Zi Liu..." suddenly got into a wide hole.

Although the hole is wide, it is only half the height of a forearm. It is easy to get in, but I can't get in.

"Bah..."

The candle light flickered in my hand, I turned my eyes slightly, and saw something engraved on the stone wall in front of me.

With my thoughts together, I quickly lit another fire booklet and leaned over to take a closer look.

The brown stone wall has many horizontal lines engraved one by one, and the entire wall looks like an engraved calendar used by the sun and the moon.

Could it be that there used to be people who couldn't live here?
With my thoughts together, I held the candle and walked along the horizontal line. After about tea time, the unchanging horizontal line on the wall suddenly changed.For every ten scratches, there is a circle, and after walking a certain distance, the imprint has completely changed.

Butterflies, bugs, birds...

At the end, a few words appeared on the wall: Tired, go out to play.

I smiled, and sure enough there are people living here.

This is the heart of the treasure, and this trace must have been left by the person guarding the treasure.

Could this last word be left by Su Qingmu's mother?
If so, there must be a way here.

I was overjoyed, so I looked forward carefully, and it was time for a cup of tea when I walked out. A stone gate appeared on the mountain wall in front of me. There were many patterns of flowers and plants carved on this stone gate. I reached out and patted it twice, and there was no echo No, it's another trap door.

I don't have much research on mechanisms, but Ji Yunchang once said that the more dangerous the door is, the more fancy the mechanism is, while the mechanism is simple and easy to break for ordinary stone doors.

Since people used to live in it, this stone gate must be walked in and out every day, since it has to be walked every day...

I leaned over and searched carefully on the stone door, and finally found that there was a cluster of flower centers on the door, which was sunken than other flower centers. I reached out and tried to press it lightly, but the door didn’t move. I pressed harder and pressed again. Hearing the sound of "Boom..." the stones rubbing against each other, the door opened from both sides.

After a while of dusty and musty smell dissipated, I held up the torch and looked inside. Inside the door was a not too long stone corridor, and at the end there was an identical stone door.

He poked Mo Que in, hacked the stone wall left and right, saw no response, then walked over carefully, and pressed on the flower center at the same position, "Boom..." The stone door opened.

I carried the fire folder in first, it was a small stone room, there was a stone table on the right side, and there were several stone benches beside the table, very unexpectedly, I saw half of a thick candle on the stone table.

Walking in carefully, Wang picked up the thick candle, although the wick was a bit withered, it was still usable.Lit the thick candle, and the vision suddenly lit up.

I held up the candle and looked around, and found a secret door on the right side of the stone room, with a camel flower mark on the side of the door.He took out the jade pendant and buckled it in the depression, and with a light tap, the door opened.

This stone room is more than three times larger than the previous one, and there is still condensed oil in the copper lamp by the door. I lit both lamps, and the room was brightened immediately.

Upon closer inspection, it looks like a living room, with all the items and chairs in it, a sword of autumn water hanging on the right side of the stone couch, and bookshelves full of books.

I walked to the dressing table and put some rouge and gouache on it. There was a layer of dust on the copper mirror, and after wiping off the dust, it was still able to reflect people. Only then did I realize that my face was covered with mud and blood, and my clothes were dirty. It was already in bad shape. Looking back, I saw a bamboo box next to the couch. I went to open it, and there were indeed clothes in it.

After thinking about it, I finally picked out a plain skirt, changed out the blood-stained rags, and bandaged the wound on my head with cotton gauze. There was still medicine in the box, but I didn't dare to use it.

The arm has just been connected, and this simple change of clothes and raising hands is already exhausting and sweating.

Qian walked to the table, wanted to take a rest, passed by the bookshelf, saw a stone box at the bottom of the bookshelf, carved with phoenixes on it, it can be said to be extremely delicate.

I stooped to pick up Shihe, went to the table and sat down.Lightly buckle the Qiqiao lock on the box, and the box will open.

This is a jewelry box, in which there are two pairs of jadeite carvings, two hair ornaments of oriental beads, and some jade earrings.These things are extremely exquisite in workmanship and high in quality, and all of them are of great value.

I took a few glances and found that the inside of the stone box was slightly shallow. I removed the velvet satin covering the bottom of the box and tapped it twice, and it was indeed empty.

After studying it carefully for a while, I found a small hole on the wall of the stone box, picked up a pearl hairpin, and poked lightly with the sharp corner.

There was a "click..." sound.

The interlayer of the stone box was opened, revealing a stack of thin paper inside.
