Chapter 139 Escape from the Dead
Everyone hurriedly backed away, and waited until the dust that had risen from the entrance of the cave cleared away, then they took two steps forward and cautiously leaned over to look into the cave.

By the candlelight in the hall, you can see several stone steps at the entrance of the cave, winding down.It's just that it was too dark below, and the stairs quickly disappeared into the darkness, and then it was pitch black.

Yin Qingrong glanced at it and felt a little hairy in her heart. She always felt like there was some monster in the deep hole, so she couldn't help tightening her clothes.

Shen Chuhan glanced at Mu Bai, and Mu Bai understood, took out two small torches from the bag on his back, then took out the torch and lit it, and handed a torch to Xuan Ying.

Since they were going to the tomb, they naturally made complete preparations before coming.

With the torch, everyone's mind is settled.Xuanying opened the way, and behind Mubai Hall, a group of people walked into the cave along the stairs.Although Yin Qingrong's hairs stood on end and she was reluctant, she did not lose her temper. She shook her body and followed Song Qinghuan closely, not daring to fall behind.

As soon as he entered the cave, his body suddenly felt cool, and a gust of cold wind "swish" from below, making everyone's expression shiver.

The steps are not wide enough for two people to pass.

Xuan Ying held a torch to explore the way ahead, Song Qinghuan and Shen Chuhan walked behind him side by side, followed by Liu Yue, and then Yin Qingrong and Mu Bai.

Seeing Shen Chuhan holding Song Qinghuan's hand tightly, Yin Qingrong felt a little sad.But the sadness turned into sadness, at this time, fear still overwhelmed all the emotions in my heart, glanced at Mu Bai beside him, and subconsciously moved closer to him.

Mu Bai was startled when he smelled a faint fragrance, and turned his eyes to see Yin Qingrong leaning against his side with a pale face and clear eyes, with a look of fear on his face.

He knew that Yin Qingrong didn't have martial arts, and she was an imperial concubine, although it was a bit embarrassing, besides, the son had told him before coming here that he wanted to take care of the eldest imperial concubine, so he couldn't say anything more.

After walking for a while, I felt more and more gloomy, but the journey was safe and sound, and I never encountered any danger.

At this time, Xuan Ying in front suddenly stopped.

Song Qinghuan looked over his shoulder and saw that the originally spiraling staircase stopped suddenly, and the further downward part was a steep slide leading straight to the depths of the darkness, which made people feel more eerie.

The light from the torch can only illuminate the place a few feet ahead, and then there is a deep fog that seems to swallow all the light sources.

"Young Master, what should we do now?" Xuan Ying turned to look at Shen Chuhan.

"What's the matter?" Yin Qingrong who was behind couldn't see the situation in front of her, she was confused and panicked.

"There are no stairs ahead, but a slide." Mu Bai whispered.He is taller than Yin Qingrong, and he passed the crowd on tiptoe to see the situation ahead.

"Slide?" Yin Qingrong frowned, her teeth chattering uncontrollably.

She really wanted to turn around and go back to such a ghostly place, after all, she had no interest in that Cang Xie Sword at all.But if she leaves now, Song Qinghuan may not be sure what she will think of herself. She already thinks that she is worthless. Now that she is so weak and difficult to serve, wouldn't it be more of a clue to her?

Yin Qingrong had the arrogance of an imperial concubine, and Song Qinghuan was her rival in love, so she didn't want to lose face in front of Song Qinghuan, so she gritted her teeth and remained silent.

Shen Chuhan looked around the situation, confirmed that this is the only way to go, thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Slide down."

After he had spoken, Xuanying naturally followed suit, tied the torch behind his back, nodded to Shen Chuhan, and stepped on the slide first, only to hear a sound of cloth rubbing, his figure disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye middle.

Shen Chuhan looked at Song Qinghuan, "Ah Wan, remember to follow me closely."

Song Qinghuan nodded, feeling a little nervous in her heart.

Shen Chuhan stepped onto the slide, glanced at Song Qinghuan, and soon slid into the darkness, Song Qinghuan hurriedly followed behind, and slid down.

The light of the torch behind Xuanying flashed a few times in front of her, and then disappeared quickly. It is unknown whether the torch was blown out by the wind or swallowed by the darkness.

Song Qinghuan's expression tightened suddenly, and he felt the whistling wind passing by his ears, making his whole body chill.Fortunately, Shen Chuhan's figure was still within sight, so he calmed down a little.

At this time, Xuanying's faint voice suddenly came from the front, "My lord, Your Highness, jump to the side!"

Song Qinghuan was startled, but before she could react, she didn't know what Xuanying's words meant by "jumping to the side".

Just as he was wondering if he had heard it wrong, he suddenly saw a flash of light in front of him, and the soft halo instantly illuminated the road in front of him. He thought it was Xuan Ying who re-lit the torch behind him.

"My lord, Your Highness, there is no way ahead, jump to the side! There is a soft ladder next to you!" Xuan Ying's voice came again while he was concentrating on looking into the distance. I understand.

It turned out that the slideway that was originally winding down suddenly stopped in front of it again, ending in mid-air with a steep and strange arc. If a person slides down like this, he will definitely be thrown out due to the huge inertia. I don't know what horror awaits them below.

Not far from the right side of the slideway, a soft ladder hangs from above, extending straight to the unknown place below.At this time, Xuanying was climbing on the ladder.

Seeing Song Qinghuan and Shen Chuhan slide down, he hurriedly climbed down a few steps to make room for them, and then looked at them anxiously.

Shen Chuhan jumped up and grabbed the ladder lightly and deftly. He turned his eyes and stared intently at Song Qinghuan.

Song Qinghuan took a deep breath, and jumped over with lightness kung fu.

But she couldn't see clearly in the dark. She underestimated the distance between the slideway and the ladder, and reached out to reach it, but she missed it. Just as she was about to fall, a big hand grabbed her wrist. ——

It's Shen Chuhan.

Song Qinghuan was hanging in the air, looking at the black mist below him, he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Be careful, I'll pull you up." Shen Chuhan said in a deep voice.His voice was firm and deep, like a gust of warm wind, calming the turbulent waves in Song Qinghuan's heart.

She took a deep breath and nodded.

Shen Chuhan pulled her up the ladder with force.

While speaking, another figure rushed down, it was Liu Yue.

Xuan Ying hurriedly reminded again, and then moved down, Shen Chuhan and Song Qinghuan also moved down a few steps to make room for Liu Yue.

Hearing Xuanying's call, Liuyue glanced quickly, seeing him and the others hanging on the ladder, her face turned pale.Seeing that the chute was coming to an end soon, she didn't have time to think about it, so she mobilized her inner strength, soared into the air, and jumped towards the soft ladder.

Just at the moment of take-off, my foot tripped over the slide, my body staggered, I didn't find the right angle, and fell straight down.

When descending to the height where Xuanying was, Xuanying's eyes darkened, and he swung Liuyue into his arms vigorously, bumping into his arms, feeling pain for a while, and couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

"Liuyue, Xuanying, are you alright?" Song Qinghuan's anxious voice came from above.

Being held in Xuanying's arms, Liuyue's expression was unavoidable, she panted a little, and said in a hoarse voice, "Your Highness, this servant is fine, you don't have to worry." I was a little bit in a trance.

I was also embarrassed to look up, and just said in a low voice, "Thank you."

Xuanying said "hmm", but still did not let go of her, "Hold on firmly, let's go down a little bit."

Song Qinghuan breathed a sigh of relief seeing that Liuyue was unhindered, but still did not dare to relax, and stared intently at the slideway.Yin Qingrong and Mu Bai haven't come here yet, so they can't take it lightly.

This time, they waited a little longer, presumably Yin Qingrong was afraid, so she dawdled and refused to slide down.

Song Qinghuan clung tightly to the ladder, her delicate skin was aching a bit from the rough rope of the ladder.She frowned impatiently.

If Yin Qingrong's identity and Shen Chuhan were not required to go to the tomb, she would really not want to bring such a delicate burden with her.

While upset and irritable, I finally heard some movement, and it was getting louder——

It was Yin Qingrong's uncontrollable exclamation.

Song Qinghuan's heart sank, looked at the space left for her above, motioned Xuanying to pass the torch over, then raised it forward, and shouted coldly, "Jump over here."

Yin Qingrong heard her voice, her eyes widened in horror, and when she saw them floating in the air, her pupils shrank suddenly, and her face became more and more terrified.

She doesn't have martial arts in her body, so it is indeed a bit difficult for her to jump over without any worries.

While hesitating, the chute had come to an end, and Yin Qingrong was the next one to confiscate it, and was thrown out directly!

Song Qinghuan was horrified, and suddenly saw a person flying down, grabbing Yin Qingrong's wrist.

It's Mubai.

Yin Qingrong's body was completely suspended in the air, Mu Bai held her firmly, and used his toes to hold the slide, trying to prevent her body from sliding down.

But the slideway is made of unknown material, it is slippery and tight, and the angle is very steep, and in addition, Mu Bai has pulled another person in his hand, so it is not easy to keep it still?
Seeing Mu Bai slipping down little by little, Song Qinghuan's heart was hanging in her throat, but she couldn't protect herself in the current situation, and she couldn't say that she could do anything to help.

At this time, Shen Chuhan's hand touched her waist, "Ah Wan, I will lend you a soft whip."

Song Qinghuan nodded, and the next moment, Shen Chuhan whipped the soft whip around his waist, looked at Yin Qingrong and said coldly, "Grab the whip!"

Tears welled up in Yin Qingrong's eyes, but she didn't dare to cry out, so she nodded her head.

Shen Chuhan flicked his hand.

Yin Qingrong hurriedly reached out to reach for it.But she was timid after all, she didn't dare to let go of Mu Bai's hand, her body swayed like this, the movement range was a little bigger, Mu Bai's toes that were holding on to the slide slipped, and she couldn't support it all of a sudden, her body suddenly fell down Slip, the two fell down together!

"Mubai!" Xuanying shouted, watching the two figures pass by her eyes, but she was powerless.

Song Qinghuan was horrified, his eyes suddenly turned red.

Although she didn't like Yin Qingrong, she never thought of letting her die, not to mention, Mu Bai also fell down with her.This mausoleum has been so dangerous from the very beginning, and I don't know what is more dangerous below it.

Xuanying clenched her fists and lowered her head resentfully.

Liu Yue was also startled and horrified, and couldn't help shouting twice, "Mubai! Ning Le Chang Di Ji!"

Except for the echo coming up, there was no sound.

The coldness in Shen Chuhan's eyes condensed, he glanced at the bottomless bottom, and said in a cold voice, "Go down first."

Xuanying took the torch from Shen Chuhan and fixed it behind his back, then took a deep breath and began to climb down the soft ladder.Liu Yue, Shen Chuhan and Song Qinghuan followed closely behind.

Unexpectedly, they did not climb to the bottom for long.Presumably it was just because there was no light source below and it was pitch black, which caused them to miscalculate the length of the distance from the slide.

As soon as his feet hit the ground, Song Qinghuan looked around, searching for the whereabouts of Mu Bai and Yin Qingrong.

The place they were in was like an empty room, or tomb, square in shape, with earthen walls, and only a long passage in front of it, leading to nowhere.

Other than that, there was nothing in the tomb, let alone Mu Bai and Yin Qingrong, they didn't even see any decorations.

Song Qinghuan couldn't help but frowned. How could it be possible for two living people to just disappear out of thin air?

Taking a look at the dark and gloomy passage, I couldn't help but have some guesses in my heart - could it be that Mu Bai and Yin Qingrong have already entered the tomb passage?

Her eyes darkened slightly, and she felt that it was impossible.

Yin Qingrong didn't say yet, with Mu Bai here, if they really fell, they would definitely wait in place and never wander around.After all, in such a mausoleum with many organs, if you don't pay attention, you will fall into a trap, so you can't act rashly.

So, where did the two of them go?

Apart from her, the others were also puzzled.

Shen Chuhan glanced at Xuanying and Liuyue, "Look around to see if there are any traps."

In response, the two tapped on the wall and the ground to check.

Song Qinghuan looked at Shen Chuhan, "Ashu, what do you think is going on?" Well, it's impossible for the two living people to disappear out of thin air, right?

Shen Chuhan remained silent, his eyes darkened even more, and after a while, he said, "I don't know, but there is something strange in this mausoleum."

Song Qinghuan nodded and said, "Did you notice it just now? The hanging ladder is clearly still new, which means it hasn't been here for a long time."

"It seems that Emperor Zhao really took great pains for this sword-seizing conference." Shen Chuhan sneered slightly.

Song Qinghuan's mouth also curled into a sneer.

Normal mausoleums are built to put the emperor's coffin inside. Even if it is to prevent people from entering, such a tricky mechanism will never be set up at the entrance.Now that they had just entered the mausoleum, they encountered one mechanism after another, which was indeed a bit abnormal.

If she guessed correctly, these were clearly added later by Emperor Zhao.

Although they received the news of Cang Xiejian's appearance in May, what if Emperor Zhao didn't fully reveal the truth?He can definitely delay for a month or two, reset the mechanism in the Infinity Mausoleum, and then notify all countries about the Cangxie Sword.

She knew that Emperor Zhao had always been ambitious, since the Cangxie sword was in Zhao Kingdom, how could he be willing to hand it over to others?

Xuanying and Liuyue searched around, but found no clues, so they had to come back dejectedly.

Shen Chuhan took a deep look at the dark tomb passage, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go inside first."

Xuan Ying showed a worried look, hesitated for a moment, but still responded, raised the torch, and walked towards the tomb passage.

Liu Yue took two steps forward, walked to his side and lowered her voice to comfort him, "Xuan Ying, don't worry, Mu Bai is very strong in martial arts, he will be fine!"

Xuan Ying glanced at her sideways, seeing the concerned expression in her eyes, her eyes moved slightly, and nodded, thanking her for her relief.

Walking to the entrance of the tomb, Xuanying stopped in her tracks.

This tomb passage is so long, if it is said that there are no mechanisms, he will not believe it.

He held up the torch to take a light, and found that the tomb passage in front of him could roughly accommodate two people to pass through. The center was paved with marble floor tiles, and the sides of the floor tiles were filled with gravel. The walls of the tomb passage were also rough mud walls.

Xuanying leaned over and picked up two pieces of gravel, and threw them into the corridor.

There was only a "swish" sound coming from the ear, and dozens of sharp darts suddenly shot out from the wall, and shot towards the place where the gravel fell. Under the faint light of the torch, the heads of the darts shone brightly.

Sure enough, it's not a thoroughfare.

Song Qinghuan's eyes were narrow, and she stared intently ahead.

Jun Che came in before them, but there were no darts left on the ground, which meant that he hadn't touched the mechanism.It seems that he really has a distribution map of the organs in the mausoleum.

Shen Chuhan glanced at the white jade slab illuminated by the torch, and said, "Follow Jun Che's footprints."

Song Qinghuan was slightly surprised, and leaned over to take a closer look, only to find that there had been a thin layer of dust since no one had come here for a long time, and just now the footprints of Junche and his attendants were lightly imprinted on it. There are certain rules.

Song Qinghuan took a serious look, and suddenly found something, his eyes darkened slightly, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

Xuanying was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly responded, walking into the tomb passage first.Song Qinghuan, Shen Chuhan and Liu Yue quickly followed closely.

But at this time, under the empty tomb where they stayed just now, there was a different scene.

"Mubai, I... I'm afraid..." It was a pale woman who spoke, her tone was soft, and she was crying with fear, as if she was about to faint at any moment.

It was Ning Le Changdi Ji Yin Qingrong who disappeared inexplicably just now.

At this time, her body was hanging in the air, and her wrist was tightly grasped by someone.

Under her body was a steel plate covered with giant steel needles. Under the faint light of the torch, the sharp steel needles were less than two feet away from Yin Qingrong's body, which made people even more frightened.

The person holding her tightly is Mu Bai.

Mubai tied a torch behind his back, held a sharp dagger in his left hand, and thrust it into the wall forcefully, thereby stopping the downward trend.With his right hand, Yin Qingrong was firmly grasped, his teeth were clenched, his face was as pale as paper, and the sweat was pouring down like rain.

Just now when they fell from the slide, the momentum was too great, they directly knocked a hole in the ground, and then fell into here.

Fortunately, he tied the torch behind his back in advance, and the moment he fell in, with the faint light of the torch, he saw a silver light flashing under his body. When he looked closely, he broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab the fallen Yin Qingrong.

As long as he was a little slower at that time, Yin Qingrong would have fallen down by now, and was pierced into a hornet's nest by the steel needle!

Thinking about it, I broke out in a cold sweat, and I was terrified.

Originally thinking about holding on for a while longer, perhaps waiting until Mu Bai and Young Master found them, but after carefully looking at the surrounding environment, despair arose.

At the top of the head, the place where they fell in just now has been completely closed and tightly sealed, and no gaps can be seen after sweeping it with a torch.Since he couldn't hear any voice from above, he tried to shout, but there was also no response.

In other words, the place they are staying in now is isolated from the above.

If he guessed correctly, the mechanism they touched just now has something to do with the impact force.Once the floor of the burial chamber above was hit by a huge impact, the floor would open automatically and people would fall in.

That's why the slideway above stopped abruptly in mid-air, in order to make people unable to hold back the downward momentum, and directly transferred into this trap full of steel needles.

The young master and the others came down from the ladder, without the huge impact, the mechanism above would never be opened.It seems that it is impossible to rely on them to find themselves and Chang Di Ji.

This time, he was bearing the weight of Yin Qingrong on his hands, and his strength was getting weaker and weaker. When his hands slipped, Yin Qingrong fell another half an inch.

"what!"

Yin Qingrong screamed in fright, closed her eyes in fear, her face was pale, and crystal tears kept falling from the corners of her eyes.

Although she knew that crying at this time would not be of any help, but as a delicate emperor, she had never experienced such a terrible situation, her whole body was cold, and she couldn't hold back her tears.

"Your Highness, don't be afraid, this subordinate will not let you have any trouble." Seeing that Yin Qingrong was so frightened that her face paled with fright and her whole body was trembling, she had no choice but to suppress the anxiety in her heart and comfort her as gently as possible.While speaking, he tried his best to lift her up.

Yin Qingrong knew that she couldn't cause Mu Bai any more burden at this time, so she took a deep breath to calm down, bit her lower lip tightly, and nodded.

Mu Bai moved his eyes away from her, and carefully looked at the surrounding situation.

Since there are organs installed here, it cannot be a secret room, there must be a place to go out.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, his face serious.Suddenly, his expression brightened slightly, and his eyes fell somewhere.

"Your Highness...Your Highness..." He looked at Yin Qingrong who was below him.

Yin Qingrong recovered from the daze and fear, looked up at him with tears in her eyes.

"Does your Highness have a fire pocket?"

Yin Qingrong nodded.

Before going to the tomb, each of them brought some necessities with them in case of emergencies.

"Your Highness, have you seen that place?" Mu Bai raised his jaw towards a certain place.

Yin Qingrong followed his gaze, and saw that what his gaze was looking at seemed to be the edge of the huge steel plate, it was so dark that nothing could be seen.

"Your Highness lit the torch and threw it over there forcefully." Mu Bai said quietly.

Hearing the eagerness and weakness in his tone, Yin Qingrong didn't dare to delay, quickly took out the fire pocket from his body, lit it, and threw it vigorously towards the place he pointed.

A faint firelight illuminates the surroundings.

Yin Qingrong looked at it, first startled, then widened her eyes, looked up at Mu Bai, "Mubai, there... is there a passage?"

Mu Bai's eyes were fixed, and he also saw the edge of the steel plate, it really looked like there was a passage leading to the outside.

He can't hold on for long, if he persists here again, he will die sooner or later, so it's better to fight hard.Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth, "Your Highness, please forgive me for offending you."

As he spoke, he lifted Yin Qingrong up with all his strength, put one hand in his arms, and pulled out the dagger with the other.At the same time, the toes hit the wall a little harder, and he jumped towards the passage he saw just now.

The torch behind was blown out by the wind, and the light from the fire on the ground became weaker and weaker.

When Mu Bai landed on the ground, the torch flickered and just extinguished, and there was another endless darkness in front of him.

Although he hadn't seen the situation clearly yet, but felt that he was stepping on solid ground, Mu Bai couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, his back was already covered with cold sweat.

He let go of Yin Qingrong's waist, and was about to ask her if she was okay, suddenly someone threw herself into his arms, and then, there was a sobbing sound beside his ears, and a pair of small hands hugged his waist tightly .

Knowing that the person in his arms is Yin Qingrong, Mu Bai's body froze suddenly, his hands were hanging in the air, he couldn't put them down, he couldn't lift them up, so he could only freeze there.They had literally narrowly escaped death just now, so it's no wonder that she had a sudden emotional outburst.

Seeing that Yin Qingrong hadn't stopped crying for a while, Mu Bai had no choice but to clenched his fist, opened it again, reached out and patted Yin Qingrong's back lightly, "Your Highness, it's okay...it's okay... ..."

After patting for a while, Yin Qingrong finally stopped crying, and retreated from his arms embarrassingly.

Fortunately, there was no fire at this time, otherwise, Mu Bai would have seen a slightly uncomfortable expression.

Mu Bai settled down, then he took out his own torch from his bosom, took the torch down, and lit it again.

A soft halo instantly covered the entire tomb.

He raised his eyes and saw Yin Qingrong in front of him for the first time. He was wiping the teardrops from the corners of his eyes with his sleeves raised. His expression was somewhat helpless and pitiful, and his figure became thinner and thinner.

Mu Bai suddenly felt that Ning Le Chang Di Ji was also quite pitiful.

Although he fell in love with the young master, the young master never looked at him directly.Moreover, as the emperor's most beloved Changdiji, she has no strength to restrain a chicken, and she has to come to such a dangerous place.

Just as he was sobbing in his heart, he suddenly saw Yin Qingrong look up at him, and said in a low voice, "Mubai, thank you!" His expression was no longer as arrogant as before, and there were still tears in his eyes, shining brightly under the light of the fire , showing a bit of moving beauty.

Mu Bai felt a little uncomfortable, turned his head away, coughed lightly and said, "Your Highness, you are polite, this is a matter of subordinates."

As he spoke, he raised the torch and looked forward, his eyes suddenly darkened again.
