reborn princess

Chapter 534
Xuan Chen put away his pocket watch, and took out a night pearl from his purse.

Holding the Ye Mingzhu in his hand, he led the way in front, and let Shen Weilan follow him behind, and the two of them got into the hole one after the other. When they were outside, it was hard to see whether there were traces of artificial excavation here, but after entering, With the faint light of the night pearl, he could see that there were indeed traces of artificial excavation here.

This cave has been sloping downwards, but the slope is not very steep, and there are load-bearing wooden piles in some places along the way, which is to prevent the roof from collapsing, but they are lucky, perhaps because these wooden piles are all It was lacquered, so it hasn't rotted after so many years, and it still stands there to support the roof of the cave.

Shen Weilan didn't like this place, because the cave was too depressing, and the surroundings were so quiet that only the breathing and crawling sounds of the two of them could be heard.

The two of them climbed for about half an hour, when suddenly a small stone room appeared in front of them, and it finally came to an end.

"Huh? There is no way here..." Shen Weilan looked around with the light of the night pearl in Xuan Chen's hand. This stone room is pitifully small, not much bigger than a large cabinet, and can only accommodate four or five people standing side by side. Here, she couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. "What's the situation? It's unreasonable to dig such a hole so hard, but there is such a stone room at the end?"

"It's quite unreasonable." Xuan Chen held the Ye Mingzhu in his hand, looked around for photos, then knocked on the wall, groped randomly, and suddenly pushed down a stone.

The stone wall in front of the two of them suddenly slid away with a rumble, and a dark hole appeared, and a cold and musty smell came from inside.

Shen Weilan looked at Xuan Chen in surprise, a look of admiration flashed in her eyes, "How do you know there is an agency here?"

Xuan Chen narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I don't know, I just speculate that such a stone room, no matter how small it is, needs stone materials, and the passage we came in is too narrow, only one person can crawl through it. If it passes, it means that the stone room was built from the inside out, not from the outside in. If according to my guess, this passage is the escape passage for the tomb builders, then there must be a mechanism to open the door. "

As he spoke, he walked into the stone gate first.

At the other end of the stone gate is a boxy stone room. The stone room is very spacious. There is a long pit dug in the middle. There are wooden boards on both sides of the pit. It turned out to be a latrine.

The two looked at each other, and Shen Weilan asked in bewilderment, "Why is there a toilet here?"

Xuan Chen took a deep breath, looked around here with Ye Mingzhu in his hands, "Many tombs will dig a latrine, because in those people's minds, after death, people still need to eat, drink and scatter just like the world. "

Shen Weilan curled her lips, "How is it possible?"

Xuan Chen suddenly turned his face to look at her. Under the dim light of the Ye Mingzhu, his handsome face looked a little dark and unclear, "Then what do you think will happen to a person after death?"

Shen Weilan thought about it seriously, and replied, "Maybe it's another beginning!"

The reason why she answered this way was that she thought of herself. She died once, but she was born again.

Xuan Chen smiled with the corners of his lips curled up, and did not comment on her answer, but just reached out to her, "Let's go elsewhere."

Shen Weilan obediently passed her hand over. She didn't know when she stopped rejecting him so much. From the beginning, she wished that he would never appear in front of her eyes again, and gradually became accustomed to him. Existence, and slowly became accustomed to his physical contact.

He always tested her limit again and again, and her limit retreated again and again.

In the previous life, he was her nemesis, and in this life, she still couldn't escape his entanglement.

Sometimes she thinks, maybe, this is her destiny!

He took her hand and led her out of this underground latrine. Outside was a dark corridor. With the light of the night pearl, one could faintly see oil lamps embedded on the wall every three feet.

She looked at the depths of the dark corridor, and couldn't help being a little scared, for fear that a monster would suddenly come out of it.

Although she has already trained herself to be strong, she can kill people without frowning, but the girl's natural sense of fear makes her a little bit hesitant to move forward.

"Hey, tell me, is there a monster here?" She couldn't help asking in a low voice, and moved closer to his body, as if being closer to him would make her safer.

He couldn't help laughing out loud.

When she heard his laughter, she felt ashamed, and couldn't help pinching his arm, "What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing..." He squeezed her palm and whispered in her ear. "If there is a monster, let the monster eat me first."

She twitched the corner of her mouth, her face was indifferent, but her heart was warm.

"Let's go, time is running out, let's find out what's ahead." Xuan Chen said, holding her hand, and chose a direction to walk forward.

This corridor is not too long, which means thirty or fifty feet. At the end of the corridor is a stone room. After entering the stone room, Shen Weilan almost cried out. It turned out that the stone room was full of bones.

The white bones are piled up layer upon layer, which looks shocking.

Xuan Chen frowned slightly, and sighed: "It seems that this is a burial pit, and the scale is not small. The people buried here must have a high status."

Then, he took out his pocket watch from his pocket and looked at the time, "It's getting late, let's go back."

Shen Weilan asked: "Aren't you going to take a look elsewhere?"

"No, we didn't bring dry food and water, we can't delay any longer, let's leave here first, what kind of tomb is here, let my uncle bring someone to have a look, if there is treasure or something inside, it can be filled treasury."

Shen Weilan couldn't help being taken aback when he heard his words, and then vaguely understood why he insisted on going in to take a look. It turned out that he just wanted to see if there was really a big tomb here as he had guessed, if there was one , He planned to rob someone's tomb.

She couldn't help but said timidly, "This... isn't this too wicked?"

Xuan Chen couldn't help but chuckled, "What's so wicked about this? People are dead, what do they still keep their treasures for? Do the dead people really think that these treasures are still useful in the underworld? Anyway, they also use them. No, if there is real treasure, we will use it for the common people, isn’t it just right?”

Shen Weilan felt that what he said was fallacious, but she didn't know how to refute him, so she couldn't help saying angrily: "Anyway, you talk about fallacies, and I can't stand you."

"Let's go." Xuan Chen said, holding her hand and leading her back to the ground from the original road.

At this time, the sun has already set to the west, and the sky is dusk.

Xuan Chen put the night pearl in his hand back into his purse, put the purse away, suddenly his eyes became fixed, he looked at a big tree next to him, and said in a deep voice, "Who is it?"

There was a sound of "fluttering" from the clothes, and a figure fell from the sky like a big bird and landed in front of the two of them.

Both of them put on a guarded look, and Shen Weilan even unsheathed the two knives behind her back, but when the two of them saw the person in front of them clearly, they couldn't help being stunned.

"Master?"

"father?"

The two greeted Shen Luo at the same time.

Shen Weilan asked in surprise: "Master, why are you here?"

Shen Luo looked at the two of them coldly. He was still wearing the same clothes as when he received the news of Sui Youran's kidnapping a few days ago, a sapphire blue gown with fringe, and a black gold thread embroidered with Baoxiang patterns. The belt, the beard around the mouth has grown long, and he has a dusty look, and the eyes are blue, and he can tell that he hasn't slept for several days.

After a while, he asked slowly, "Are you injured?"

The two shook their heads, Xuan Chen said: "Master, have you found Aunt Sui?"

Shen Luo tightly pursed the corners of her lips, and shook her head, "No, I came here after receiving the news from Ouyang Liang. I heard that you two chased Lan'er's mother into Mihun Mountain, so I followed Come in. Lan'er, where's your mother?"

"That's not my mother, it's a counterfeit." Shen Weilan put away the two knives in her hands, and told Shen Luo the news that she and Xuan Chen had inquired about last night. "Master, the woman who pretended to be my mother said that the Ninth Prince of Beichen Kingdom kidnapped my mother because my mother looks like a person."

After hearing her news, Shen Luo couldn't help turning pale, and his face suddenly became ugly, "Really?"

Shen Weilan nodded solemnly, "It is said that they locked my mother in a place called Liyuan Zhuangzi in Xibali, Liaocheng."

Shen Luo obtained Sui Youran's whereabouts, and said without delay: "I'm going to save your mother now, after you go out, go home first."

After speaking, his figure disappeared, and he actually used the method Shen Weilan said to leave here by walking on the top of the tree.

"Master..." Shen Weilan couldn't help being a little funny when she saw that he was even more anxious than herself, and she didn't even want to wait for herself and Xuan Chen, but at the same time she felt relieved. Nothing will happen.

Thinking of this, she turned her face to look at Xuan Chen and said: "When master rescues my mother, can you help me find some female guards with skills like your mother's?

? ”

Xuan Chen bared his teeth and smiled, "Okay! But we have to go out first!"

He reached out his hand to stop Shen Weilan's waist, jumped up, and stepped on the trunk of the poplar tree to the top of the tree.

Shen Weilan's lightness kung fu is still a little weaker, it's okay to run around the wall, but he can't walk on the tree branch as if walking on the ground, so he took the initiative to take her with him.

Sure enough, as soon as he jumped to the top of the tree, his field of vision suddenly widened. He used the sun to identify the direction, then stepped on the branches and jumped towards the southeast.

Soon, the two of them came to the edge of the forest, and he brought Shen Weilan down to the ground, and he let out a sigh of relief.
