Chapter 922 Who is in the secret room?

Qi Ningzhi and Lu Xiaoxiao looked along the fingers of the young flower, and saw a yellow pure gold beauty goblet in the corner with a large branch of bright peony inserted in it.

The agency must be there.

Mortals are smart enough. They don't have the restrictions of formations, but they still have ingenious designs. They can almost hide the eyes and ears of a group of ascetics by creating some secret room.

Qi Ningzhi thought to himself that if he came here alone and only relied on his spiritual sense to search, he would probably be concealed.

"It's a good time for peonies to bloom now. I looked at the garden of the City Lord's Mansion. There were hundreds of old peonies blooming like clouds. Just now, there were fresh peonies even in the flower hall outside, but this time

There are raw silk flowers in the vase?"

Lu Xiaoxiao noticed something was wrong at a glance.

The young plant smiled and said nothing, stretched out its hand and gently plucked one of the peonies——

There was a soft "click" at the corner of the wall, and a hole was slowly revealed, with a wide bluestone staircase extending into the darkness.

"I have set up the early warning array. You Yucheng and You Xuelin are both outside at this time. We just need to go down."

Several light spots popped up from Xiaoyu's fingers and landed in the surrounding corners, and Xiao Diyi Jing stayed outside to take care of them.

Qi Ningzhi and Lu Xiaoxiao followed her into the dark secret passage.

Young Ao stretched out his hand and groped around the corner a few times. There was a soft "cluck" sound, and the door was closed again.

"Girl, you are quite dexterous. You look like you have been here before." Lu Xiaoxiao praised.

"There are only these types of secular institutions. If you can enter a secret passage, there must be a way to close and open it nearby. Otherwise, how can people inside get in and out? It's either a depression or a bulge. My second brother has made several secret chamber mechanisms for us.

, it can be said that all the knowledge of the world’s institutions is under the control of my second brother. What I have learned is only superficial.”

"You are being humble. As for my second brother, you are only five or six when it comes to your abilities." In the darkness, Qi Ningzhi's voice sounded.

Lu Xiaoxiao hissed, as if her teeth were sore.

Youtu smiled and led the two of them down the stairs. Although the secret passage was dark, they could see things clearly due to their cultivation.

After walking a few steps and turning a corner, a soft light came into view. It turned out that there was a bright pearl embedded at every other section on the top of the secret passage made of bluestone, which was emitting a faint light.

The cracks in the stone are slightly concave and the pearls are slightly yellow. They are obviously old things. It is expected that they were left by the previous city lord and should be a prepared place to avoid disasters.

Sure enough, he has ruled Baiju City for generations and has prepared a good retreat.

The stairs went very deep into the ground, and after walking for quite a while there was no end in sight. Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but say:

"You are so afraid of death when you are building this staircase! Little girl, you are really good! You have to be the one to do it! Hey, Qi Ningzhi, please look at the front and back. I am talking to the little girl, just in case I miss something...

"

Qi Ningzhi snorted, not knowing whether he agreed or was unhappy.

Lu Xiaoxiao is a bit like Amelia Su. She talks a lot when she meets someone she likes. Naturally, Youji is the person she likes, so she couldn't help but whisper and talk endlessly along the way.

You Gao was amused and thought to himself: When you see the real situation ahead, you won’t have time to talk nonsense.

Before I had taken two steps, a bright light suddenly appeared in front of me. It must have been that the secret passage had reached the end, and it was already the door of the secret room.

Lu Xiaoxiao cheered up, took Qingyunzhang and walked two steps quickly, and became the leader.

Yougao had no choice but to follow, but he only took two steps and then stopped - as expected, Lu Xiaoxiao stayed in place after taking those two steps.

Youtuo had expected it and stopped in time, so he didn't hit Lu Xiaoxiao's back. However, Qi Ningzhi couldn't stop his feet for a moment, and couldn't help but stretched out his hand to gently support Youtuo's shoulder, feeling the slight warmth under his palm. Shoulder bones, the little girl only turned around and smiled, he was quite a bit stunned.

After his mind wandered for a moment, Qi Ningzhi finally took a look at the scene in the secret room. When he saw it, he was also stunned.

The two heavy iron doors of the secret room were open for some reason, and huge lamps were lit on the walls of the stone room, illuminating the room as bright as day.

Only then could they see at a glance the large ashlar stone platform placed in the center of the room.

There is a person on the stone platform, covered with a gorgeous silk quilt. It can be vaguely seen from the undulating outline that this person is lying in the shape of a "big" character.

It's just that lying down must be extremely uncomfortable. Not to mention the cold and hard stone platform, there are several thick and blood-stained iron chains exposed under the silk satin. Each iron chain has been pulled straight, and the ends are submerged into the stone wall, and they are locked tightly. It's strict.

This man's limbs were bound by iron chains, making him unable to move. His face was pale, and his eyes were staring lifelessly at the ceiling of the cave. Several iron chains could be seen wrapped around his neck in areas not covered by the quilt.

Lu Xiaoxiao and Qi Ningzhi simply suspected that they had seen a ghost!

Isn't the man who was tightly tied with iron chains on the stone platform the city lord You Yucheng?

If they hadn't seen You Yucheng and You Shuhua leave the city lord's mansion early in the morning, and were dragged by Hu Qiao and others to explain the notice about the city protector to the elders inside and outside Baiju City, they would all have doubted whether the city lord was planning to rebel. His men were tied up and used as hostages.

Even though the little boy had already known the situation in the secret room from Di Yijing since childhood, now that he saw it with his own eyes, he couldn't help but feel startled.

The aroma of medicine in the room was mixed with the strong smell of blood and an inexplicable stench of filth, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

Lu Xiaoxiao approached the stone platform, looked at the familiar face carefully, and scanned the person's mind and brain with her spiritual consciousness, confirming that his soul aura was the same as that of You Yucheng in his impression.

"He... is exactly the same as You Yucheng from the inside out!"

Lu Xiaoxiao sent a message to Youji, and Youji was not surprised at all, because Xiaodi Yijing had already told her, and the result she had just verified with her spiritual consciousness was also the same.

However, Xiaodi Yijing also said:

"Although this You Yucheng on the stage is more similar to the one outside than a twin, and has almost the same spirit, the smell is still a little different. Well, most of them are the same. Just after careful identification, I found that the person outside is much It smells a bit dirty."

As for what the "dirty smell" is, Xiaodi Yijing couldn't explain it, so he repeatedly emphasized: "It's the kind that's not very clean."

You Gao guessed that it was probably because Xiaodi Yijing had a simple mind and only knew that there was something wrong with evil things, but could not identify the specific details.

"Also," Xiaodi Yijing added hesitantly, "Actually, the smell of You Yucheng outside is sometimes stronger and sometimes lighter. I didn't notice it at first, but this morning his smell was stronger again. Only when I smell it can I smell it."

Yougao was a little confused by Xiaodi Yijing's words:

"What do you mean by that?"

"The smell I'm talking about is similar to the smell of You Yucheng inside. It's light and strong for a while. Hum, even if the Nascent Soul cultivator comes here, I can't smell it clearly!"

Xiaodi Yijing did not forget to show off his abilities.
