Ye Xiuwu squatted down, drew his sword and struck the ice.
"What are you doing? This is going to be an avalanche." Jing Che just stood aside and watched his movements, reminding him calmly.
The ice surface cracked with cracks, like winding and ferocious scars. The chiseling of the ice became more and more intensive, and the cracks opened to the extreme. Then there was a cracking sound of heaven and earth falling, and the entire hilltop seemed to be shattered.
Shaking.
Suddenly, the sky filled with snow filled his eyes. Jing Che only felt his whole body being pulled, and he seemed to be falling rapidly. However, he soon stepped on the solid ground. The surroundings were pitch black, and the roar of avalanches in his ears became distant.
I don't know where I entered.
Yesiu's voice sounded low in her ears: "No one should be able to find this place."
"What is this place?" Jing Che looked around and quickly adapted to the darkness.
"I met you in Ogi City four years ago. I knew you were still alive, so when I started looking for you, I accidentally came to this place one year ago, happened to encounter an avalanche, and fell into this hole."
Jing Che gave a forced smile: "Then how do you know no one has discovered this place?"
"There have only been three avalanches here in the past eight years. If it is such a coincidence that someone enters this cave every time there is an avalanche, then we can only consider ourselves unlucky."
"Is this the back mountain of Jiahuang Mountain?" Jing Che asked, carefully recalling the location when he came.
"Well," Ye Xiu lit up a flame on his fingertips, and the two of them walked inside, "Let's see what's inside. At that time, I was in a hurry to find a way out, so I didn't go in."
Jing Che walked along silently. In fact, she was not very curious. Xiao Jin's suspicious character made her change from a person who was keen on inquiring into a selfish person who had lost interest in everything in the world. Anyway, all this was the same as her.
It doesn't matter.
The cave was long and deep. Sometimes it was so narrow that you had to turn sideways to pass it, and sometimes it was so wide that it was as big as a stone chamber. It took countless twists and turns, and the two of them remained silent. Every time they turned a corner, Ye Xiu would look back.
He looked to see if Jing Che was following him. He always seemed to want to say something, but instead he slowly looked away and continued walking forward.
The atmosphere seemed a bit solemn. After rounding a corner, Yexiu said to her: "Ache, please go ahead."
"I'll go from the back." Jing Che retorted immediately, probably because she thought her tone was too strong, so she explained, "I'm not used to people behind me."
It was because he had lived in an environment that required a high degree of vigilance for too long, and exposed his hidden secrets to others, even Ye Xiu, Jing Che suspected that he would even be forced to draw his sword and kill the person behind him at any time.
Yesiu stared at her masked face, unable to see any emotion. He sighed slightly and continued walking forward without saying anything.
At this moment, a drop of liquid seeped out from the cracks in the rock and fell in front of his feet. With a "pop" sound, Jing Che immediately arched his body and raised his hands in a defensive posture.
After the sound, everything fell silent, and the flames in Ye Xiu's palm danced quietly. Jing Che leaned over and took a closer look, and saw that the drop on the ground was actually blood.
Looking up in confusion, Jing Che couldn't move his eyes away when he saw the rocks above his head.
If she had been in the past, she might not have recognized this structure, but now that she has become numb after doing things like cutting open a person's chest and taking out the heart with her bare hands, it is impossible for her not to recognize it——
Hanging above the head is a huge heart with weak pacing, thick blood veins wrapped around the outer wall of the heart, and dark brown blood flowing like a river.
Continuing to search inside, there is a suddenly cheerful stone chamber, but the scene inside is even more horrifying than the heart just now. The Yin Qi blows in the face, and in the dim light of the dancing flames, there are nearly dozens of coffins densely arranged in the dark stone chamber.
The two of them walked into the group of coffins in surprise. Each coffin had a name engraved on it. Looking down, it seemed that every name was somewhat familiar. Jing Che was searching in his mind where he had seen it before, and at this time he also said:
"This seems to be the mass burial tomb of sword masters of all ages."
Jing Che suddenly realized, and at the same time, he discovered that the lid of the coffin in front of him had been mostly removed, and the coffin was empty. He took a closer look at the name on the coffin, and it turned out to be Su Yue.
"Wasn't she expelled from the Sword Saint Sect..." Jing Che murmured.
And suddenly, a mysterious wind rose out of thin air. Jing Che and Ye Xiu raised their heads at the same time. Originally there were only two shadows on the wall, but now a third, fourth, and fifth figure appeared, getting closer and closer.
Come bigger.
Jing Che immediately pulled out the soft sword beside him and stared at the entrance of the cave intently, but Ye Xiu suddenly tapped Jing Che's acupuncture points at lightning speed. She gritted her teeth and looked in hatred and disbelief, subconsciously thinking that Ye Xiu was deceiving her.
He believed that she was going to be captured and brought to justice, but he didn't want to force her to push her into the coffin. He whispered in her ear: "I will lure them away, and your acupuncture points will be healed in two hours.",
Then he pushed the coffin lid, and the man turned into a white shadow and flew out.
"Where are the people?" Then the noise came.
"He's over there! Chase him!"
The hustle and bustle faded away again with the messy footsteps.
I don't know how long it took, but there was no movement outside. Jing Che huddled in the dark and airtight coffin, his heart beating like thunder in his chest, and it refused to calm down no matter how long it took.
What happened to Yexiu? Was he caught, or did he escape successfully? Can he still go back to Nanqiong?
Even if she doesn't want to admit it, she also knows that a forbearing person like Yexiu will push himself into an unexplainable quagmire in order to protect her identity. He will admit that he is a spy of the empire and accept the punishment silently.
.
But she didn't want him to experience that feeling of being wronged but couldn't talk about it. She didn't want him to make the same mistake as her. This kind of pain... How could he suffer that kind of pain... That was Nan Qiong's best effort
Disciple, the most talented disciple, the most respected disciple, he has always been so respectful and disciplined...
The two long hours were filled with torture every second, until the acupuncture points were automatically unlocked. Jingche was free, but there was no movement. She closed her dry eyes tightly, trying to get rid of the emotional torture and return to red.
The way clothes should be, without any heart or heart.
It took her a while to open her eyes, move her stiff limbs, and when she was about to push open the coffin lid and stand up, she accidentally discovered a line of words engraved on the inside of the coffin lid.
Unable to see clearly in the darkness, Jingche touched the uneven texture with his fingers, trying to identify the words.
"Ah..." The second word is a bit complicated, and I can't figure out what it is. The seven words below are connected together and are extremely scrawled. I can only get a rough idea, "...I dare to say this."
Thinking that it didn't matter, Jing Che pushed open the coffin lid and stood up.
However, as soon as she stood up, a shadow above her head completely enveloped her. A voice sounded lazily and carelessly, arousing an echo in the stone chamber: "Hongyi, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
