Xu Zhenren said that the secret room is under the water, but this does not mean that you have to swim down from the water.
Outside the door is a trestle made of wooden boards. An Xin stepped lightly on a certain wooden board, and several wooden boards next to it fell in parallel, revealing a row of narrow stairs.
She just walked down the stairs. Shen Gong and I followed her. We walked down for about ten meters. As An Xin opened a heavy iron door, a small secret room of dozens of square meters was just like this.
appeared before my eyes.
Qingqing was lying on a chair in the secret room with her back to me, not knowing what she was doing.
When she heard the door ringing, she said three words in a cold tone: "Get out."
I cleared my throat: "You first look back and see who I am, and then decide whether to let me go or not?"
It was obvious that Qingqing paused for a moment, turned her head suddenly, and her eyes changed from the initial daze to surprise in an instant.
Then she curled her lips and said, "You still know how to come?"
I was quite confused at the time and had no intention of arguing with her. I walked up to her and said, "Stop talking about this now and come with me quickly. Something big happened in Shanyin City."
Qingqing stood up in shock.
At that time, Mr. Shen was standing outside the secret room. After seeing him, Qingqing smiled and said hello: "Mr. Hu, I haven't seen you for a long time. I have caused you trouble."
Mr. Shen hummed and just nodded: "I'll wait for you outside."
Then he turned around and walked out, and we both made preparations to go out, but at this moment Anxin, who had been standing at the door, spoke: "Mr. Gu, the deadline agreed between you and Senior Brother Xu has not yet come."
I squinted my eyes and looked at him: "Your senior brother Xu is dead."
"But I'm still here."
An Xin's eyes were firm: "The senior brothers outside the door are also there. If you insist on leaving, then I can only be rude to you."
"Who are you trying to be rude to?"
Qingqing immediately changed her expression: "The seal here is effective on everyone, no magic is needed. Do you think you can defeat the two of us?"
A meaningful smile appeared on An Xin's face: "No, but it's not difficult to trap the two of you."
After saying that, she suddenly reached out and patted the wall behind her.
I cursed in my heart, "Damn it," and pulled Qingqing to run out, but it was a pity that it was too late.
Only a 'dong' sound was heard, and the heavy iron door closed instantly, sealing the three people inside the house.
I was so angry that I couldn't help but point at An Xin: "Open the door for me!"
An Xin didn't say anything, just stood there motionless and looked at me.
"Are you guys sick? You deceived me and locked me up here for several days, and now you're using me to deceive Gu Yan. What are you going to do?"
Qingqing couldn't hold herself any longer. She pointed at An Xin and shouted, "Do you hear me asking you to open the door? Don't force me to kill you!"
At this time, Shen Gong, who heard the sound, also ran over from outside. His somewhat dull voice came from outside the door: "What's going on? Why did you close the door by yourself? Gu Yan, what's going on inside?"
Immediately afterwards, there were two sounds of "bang bang", which was obviously Duke Shen kicking the door.
But Anxin acted as if he hadn't heard anything, and ignored Qingqing. Instead, he raised his head and asked me: "Mr. Gu, actually we have met before. The first time you came to Shanyin City, the day you came to Cuiyun Tower, I was standing on the building.
Watching you."
I suppressed the anger in my heart: "Can you stop telling me this nonsense? Open the door, I want to go out."
But she seemed to be stunned, and said to herself: "Actually, like Xiaoyan, I have been living in Cuiyun Tower for hundreds of years. It's just that I'm luckier than her, and I have some bones, so
Only then will he be favored by Mr. Yin.
Not long after you left, Mr. Yin deliberately made a gap to let me and these senior brothers out. I also just got this body. Mr. Gu, do you know how precious it feels to be a new human being?
In the past few months, I have seen the outside world for the first time. The changes outside are so big. There are so many high-rise buildings, people are dressing more and more beautifully, and there are cars running on the streets. Hey, come on
The last time I saw a car was in the palace, it was a gift from foreigners to Lafayette."
Her eyes were full of longing, and the corners of her mouth were smiling unconsciously: "Actually, like Senior Brother Xu, I have been prepared to lose my soul since the day I came out of Shanyin City.
I am satisfied to be able to take a look at the outside world during my lifetime, and I will die without regrets.
Mr. Gu, this door will open by itself at midnight. I have wronged you and Miss Liu during this period. I hope you don’t blame me, senior brother Xu, and Mr. Yin.
Let us redeem Mr. Yin’s mistakes."
As soon as she finished speaking, I had a bad premonition.
Sure enough, before I could react, An Xin had already pulled out a dagger from his sleeve and swiped it at his neck without hesitation.
"Damn it, there's no need for this, put the knife down!"
The hairs all over my body were exploding, and I rushed towards An Xin, but how could I outrun the knife?
As soon as I took a step, the blade of the knife cut a deep wound on An Xin's neck. Blood spurted out, and two drops even splashed on my clothes.
"Gu Yan, she is about to lose her soul, please stop her quickly!"
Qingqing shouted behind me, and I turned around: "Sister, how do I know how to operate it? Go, go quickly!"
Only then did she react, rushed to squat down in front of An Xin, and just stretched out her hand, but her body suddenly froze.
Then Qingqing sighed helplessly: "Oh, I forgot that there is a seal in this room. We can't stop her."
I was stunned. I froze in place and felt a panic in my heart.
Wisps of white smoke floated out from the top of her head. Anxin was obviously out of her mind, but her body with a torn artery had not completely lost its vitality. She was just half-lying on the spot twitching, which was a sign of excessive blood loss.
Qingqing and I could only watch helplessly. After dozens of seconds, her body completely stopped and became motionless.
After a long time, Qingqing asked me with a trembling voice: "Why is she like this?"
I leaned down and closed An Xin's open eyes: "Perhaps like Master Yin, it is an act of martyrdom. As for what the Tao in her heart is, I don't know."
Duke Shen, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked: "Gu Yan, I heard that the woman committed suicide, right?"
I hummed, and Shen Gong asked again: "Are you two locked in by her and can't get out?"
"Yes, she locked the door with a mechanism and said she would open it by herself in six hours."
I walked to the door and shouted to Mr. Shen outside: "I can't wait that long. You can think of a way. If it doesn't work, go grab a Taoist priest outside and use witchcraft to control him and ask him to open the door for me."
"Catch? Catch whom?"
Duke Shen's voice was a little heavy: "I just went out to take a look. Not long after we walked out, those Taoist priests had already sat cross-legged next to Xu and committed suicide."
