Chapter 102 "Warmth"(1/2)
The cave of Deputy Sect Leader Li Yulin was built against the mountain.
It can be said that this is the building closest to the snow mountain in Yunxue Sect. At a glance, you can see the snow peak not far away like a sword thrust into the sky. The dense forest on the mountain is like a dark green ocean, with a cool and profound flavor.
Li Yulin has many apprentices, but most of them live in the outskirts.
Only she and her true disciples live here, so it's a little deserted.
Most of the buildings on the hillside were dark, with only one or two rooms lit with lights.
The purple scorpion swayed outside and quickly followed a stone step into a building.
At this time, Elder Xue threw out a thin line, wrapped it around its tail, and controlled its speed.
The dark building, cold and deep in the night, also carries a sense of danger.
The four of them met under a tree. Elder Xue glanced at Ji Que rather fearfully and motioned for him to go at the end.
She was worried that if Ji Que was lucky enough to be ahead, if there was an agency, he would step on "thunder" at every step.
Ning Hongyu suddenly thought of the reason why Elder Xue made such an arrangement, and couldn't help but want to laugh.
On the way back to Tianren City last time, she had seen Ji Que's fate.
From that moment on, she felt more and more that Ji Que was extraordinary.
Anyone who is unlucky, and that level of unlucky, will inevitably become irritable and depressed, but Ji Que can still maintain a good attitude.
This kind of mentality is almost the same as that of the senior who pinched feces to exercise her mental state. Even she thought she couldn't do it.
The purple scorpion crawled into the door along the crack.
The door was bolted, and Elder Xue's fingertips were filled with energy. With a push, the door opened quietly.
It has to be said that if a monk of this level becomes a thief, he will probably be as good as the thief commander Chu Liuxiang.
After that, Elder Xue entered the darkness.
Ji Que was the last one to enter the house. In order to avoid making any noise, he thoughtfully closed the door again.
The house is not completely dark, because there is a patio in the center of the house, and through the dim skylight, you can see the thread-like appearance of the falling drizzle.
Judging from the furnishings of the room, this should be a tea room, with several tea sets placed on the table.
It's just that the room has reached the end by now.
The purple scorpion was spinning around in the room, looking anxious and unable to find its way.
Ning Hongyu walked forward, glanced coldly at the room, then squatted down and knocked on the floor and walls.
Then, she walked to a wall, pressed two bricks at the same time, and pushed them.
With a bang, just like in the TV series, a secret passage appeared in the sight of several people.
The purple scorpion was so excited that it was about to burrow in there. After being tied up by Elder Xue with a thin thread, it became quite impatient.
The dark cave entrance was filled with cold air, and Elder Xue was still walking in front, looking wary.
After going down a flight of stairs, the surroundings were no longer pitch black.
A corridor appeared in front of several people.
There are several bright pearls on the walls of the corridor, reflecting the whole space in a green light.
Elder Xue took two steps forward and stopped.
Because from this angle, you can see some transparent silk threads distributed in the corridor.
She looked in another direction and found that there were even more threads.
Some of them are highlighted by the green light, while others are very hidden and appear quite sinister.
It can be said that those who are conspicuous are covering up those who are inconspicuous.
Elder Xue knew the dangers of these threads and hesitated for a moment.
At this time, Ning Hongyu came over and said, "These lines look like they are dead."
The so-called "dead" means that it is not controlled by anyone, or at best it is controlled by agencies.
So the next moment, she pulled out the long and narrow red knife.
The condensed red zhenqi circulated, and Ning Hongyu slashed out with the knife, causing a buzzing sound.
The blade swept across, with a powerful and heavy sound of wind, and the transparent threads were cut off one after another and fell to the ground.
Midway, new threads shot out from the wall, but they were all reduced to pieces by Ning Hongyu's roaring sword wind.
So after about twenty breaths, Ning Hongyu was standing at the end of the corridor, and the ground was covered with broken silk threads.
Elder Xue is also a well-informed person, but after seeing this, he was still stunned.
She didn't expect Ning Hongyu to use such a method, because it was really simple and crude.
In her way of thinking, she is more inclined to try to find tricks. For example, in a bamboo card game, someone cheats, and she thinks about how to catch the cheat and win at the cards, while Ning Hong
Yu Ze seemed to have overturned the table with one move, put his sword on the old man's neck, and said, "Are you worthy of playing bamboo cards with a rich man like you?".
On the contrary, you can't say that Ninghongyu is brainless, because this is the most effective way.
This is the product of boldness and carefulness.
Because Ning Hongyu has analyzed it before, these threads are dead.
The silk thread was very scary in the hands of that mysterious man, causing her and Lao Wang to suffer a lot, but without that man's control, it would be like this.
At this time, Ji Que had already walked over first and joined Ning Hongyu.
Elder Xue and Old Man Luo, who originally opened the way, walked behind instead.
In front of them was an ordinary wooden door, and at this time, both Ji Que and Ning Hongyu raised their eyebrows slightly.
Because they smelled blood.
The purple scorpion, which was tied by a rope, made a faint sound at this moment and rushed towards the door desperately.
Ji Que even felt that it would rather tear off the scorpion's tail alive before entering.
With a clang, the wooden door was pushed open, and blood stains on the ground were clearly visible.
The blood stains are purple, which is a sign of poisoning.
Elder Xue's eyes twitched and he said: "She is forcing poison."
She didn't stop and rushed in quickly.
The opponent was injured and poisoned, so this was the best opportunity for a group fight.
As a result, the four of them entered the secret room almost side by side.
The secret room was not wide, and it soon reached the end.
But this time, the scorpion found its direction and pounced directly on a landscape painting on the wall.
With a snap, the painting was pierced, and the back was indeed hollow.
A long and narrow passage spread all the way to the depths, and there were some purple blood stains on the ground.
Elder Xue got in, and the flying sword in his sleeve had slipped into his hand.
After rushing through this passage, the space suddenly opened up, and Elder Xue suddenly froze there.
This is a study room lit by candlelight, with bookshelves, desks and chairs, pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and even a cup of tea next to it.
The person they wanted to fight was sitting there.
Deputy Sect Leader Li Yulin was sitting there.
No, to be precise, she was placed on the table.
Only the section above her chest was left of her body, and her eyes were so wide that they almost bulged out of their sockets.
It was an unprecedented expression of fear, so much so that her whole face was distorted.
Li Yulin is dead.
The Li Yulin they were looking for died in his secret room.
Ji Que couldn't help but feel his heart beat faster when he saw the corpse that looked like a half-length sculpture.
On the table is a cracked white mask, proving Li Yulin's identity.
The person who wanted to fight in a group was dead. Although the few people did not feel relieved at all, their expressions became more solemn.
To Elder Xue, the corpse in front of him was the second in command of the Yunxue Sect, the leader of the sect after the sect leader went into seclusion, and an insidious figure who almost killed her and Lao Wang.
But she died. From the time she killed them to the time she died here, it took less than three hours, and she died so easily.
Even though she was injured and poisoned, it was too sudden.
What kind of person would be the person who killed her?
Ji Que was also a little flustered, because to him, this was the only person he could get along with that night, and in the end, he turned into a human bust sculpture.
The purple blood on the table smeared on the rice paper, and together with Li Yulin's corpse, it was a horrifying scene.
