Nine princesses

Chapter 121 The Weird Secret Path

"It's hard to say clearly." Hua Qingluan put his hand on the stone gate again, closed his eyes and felt it carefully, but still shook his head and said, "It just feels very strange, the heartbeat suddenly becomes very fast, and the emotions fluctuate uncontrollably. But I can’t tell exactly what kind of feeling it is. It’s not bad, but it’s not good either. It seems that something is calling me inside, but it seems to be very resistant, so I can’t tell.”

She shook her head again, with a puzzled expression on her delicate and beautiful face, and a daze in her eyes.

For some reason, Xiao Limo suddenly had a feeling of trepidation. Although it was fleeting, it still gave him an ominous premonition, and he said decisively: "In this case, let's retreat! Anyway, this stone gate is also blocking the road. .”

Hua Qingluan stared at the manjushahua pattern on the door, and nodded for a while.

The two retreated along the original road, and when they passed a certain place, Hua Qingluan suddenly noticed the faint unknown atmosphere in the air, which seemed to be particularly strong here, and looked around subconsciously, and suddenly said "Huh" , bent down, picked up an item from the ground, frowned and said, "Strange, why is there such a thing here?"

Hearing the sound, Xiao Limo looked back and asked, "What's wrong?"

Hua Qingluan handed over what was in his hand.

It was a very finely crafted hairpin, carved out of a single piece of ruby, and the tail end was carved in the shape of twisted leaves, while the head end was a blooming manjusawa flower, which glowed a faint dark red under the firelight. The light, although there is still some dirt on the body of the hairpin, is still so beautiful that it moves the soul.

After all, Hua Qingluan was a girl. Seeing that the hairpin looked good, she brushed off the dirt, put it on her hair, and asked, "Does it look good?"

The bright red hairpin is inserted on the black and shiny hair, just like the manjusawa blooming in the darkness of the void, dazzling and dazzling, complementing Hua Qingluan's gorgeous face.

But Xiao Limo instinctively disliked it, and frowned.

"What's wrong?" Seeing his strange expression, Hua Qingluan was taken aback, "Isn't it good-looking?"

The gnat's head swayed slightly, and the hairpin trembled slightly. Although it was carved from ruby, it felt inexplicably light, like a manjusawa flower swaying in the wind.I don't know if it's an illusion, Xiao Limo vaguely felt that after this hairpin was inserted into Hua Qingluan's bun, it seemed to become more bright and eye-catching, like blood.

"It's not ugly, but..."

"What is it?" Hua Qingluan asked curiously.

Xiao Limo shook his head, and said with a dignified expression: "In our Yuehua, Manjusawa is an ominous flower. It blooms on the road to Huangquan, leading ghosts to hell, and it represents blood and death. It may be because of this, so , I don’t like this hairpin. If you like red jade hairpins, I’ll find good jade to make for you when you get out. You’d better not wear this hairpin. Looking at it, I felt chills in my heart. "

"No!" Hua Qingluan pulled out the hairpin and looked it up in his hands, "I just think it looks pretty."

On the white and tender catkins, the hairpin looks more and more bright red.

"In short, this kind of flower is unlucky, so you'd better not wear it!" Remembering that the pattern engraved on the stone gate just now is also manjusawahua, Xiao Limo only felt the haze in his heart was heavier, and said eagerly, "It doesn't matter if it's the stone gate or this hairpin." , it seems that this secret path is weird and evil, let's go back as soon as possible!"

Saying that, he reached out and grabbed Hua Qingluan's wrist, and was about to take her away.

Hua Qingluan suddenly turned to the dark place: "Huh? Is there a secret passage over there?"

As he said that, he brought the fire folder in his hand closer, and sure enough, there was another secret road hidden behind the mountains and rocks.This secret passage is narrower than the previous one, only one person high and one foot wide.The secret passages are scattered on the left and right, and each has a protruding stone wall, like a door leaf, which covers the secret passages just right. In addition, the secret passages are dark and the light of Huozhezi is limited. The two did not realize that there was a fork in the road before.

"I'll go take a look."

Before Xiao Limo could respond, Hua Qingluan had already walked in sideways holding the fire folder.

Xiao Limo had no choice but to follow behind her.

The secret passage is very narrow, and only one person can pass through it. Hua Qingluan is fine, with a slender figure, but Xiao Limo has to bend slightly and turn sideways to move forward.Looking at Hua Qingluan's delicate and soft back in front of him in the light of the fire, it just matched the size of the secret passage, as if the secret passage had been dug according to her figure.

A terrifying thought suddenly flashed in Xiao Limo's mind, and a chill came down his spine.

Could it be that……

He shouted urgently: "Qingluan, come back quickly!"

Hearing his urgent voice, it seemed that there was an emergency. Hua Qingluan hurriedly turned around, came to Xiao Limo's side, and asked, "What's the matter? What happened?"

Xiao Limo didn't answer, just took her hand, and walked back sideways without saying a word.

The force was so great that Hua Qingluan followed him involuntarily, retreating back to the original secret path, Xiao Limo stopped, his dark eyes, looking at the deep and narrow secret path, revealed a faint chill, and A touch of fear.

"What's the matter?"

Xiao Limo took the fire folder in her hand, and looked towards the narrow secret passage, with a slightly hasty voice: "Look carefully at this secret passage, don't you think it's weird?"

Hua Qingluan glanced at him inexplicably, seeing that he didn't seem to be faking, then turned his head away, and carefully looked at the secret road with the flickering firelight.Through the hidden stone wall, one can only vaguely see the situation in the narrow and dense passage, which is dark and deep without end.But apart from the eerie feeling caused by the deep darkness and the slight fear of not knowing the way forward, there seems to be nothing unusual.

"Xiao Limo, what happened?"

Xiao Limo's voice trembled slightly: "Look carefully, this secret way is very strange!"

Looking at him again to make sure that he wasn't playing tricks on him, Hua Qingluan then turned his gaze to the deep and narrow passage again, inspected it more carefully, and suddenly gasped.With her composure and composure, a bone-chilling chill involuntarily appeared in her heart, she calmed down, and then said hoarsely: "This secret way..."

Xiao Limo nodded, swallowed nervously, and said, "You can see it, too?"
