The entrance to the tunnel in the backyard is also located in the middle of the room. The square table above is both a cover and a switch to open the tunnel. This is exactly the same design as the secret room in Cining Palace and the secret room in Luzhou Bamboo Forest.
After entering the secret room, Shen Yuxian became more certain of one thing. Even if the person who escaped was not Wei Xuanyuan, he must be one of Wei Xuanyuan's men. Otherwise, this secret room could not be exactly the same as the one in Cining Palace.
At this moment, lying on the floor of the secret room was an officer and soldier groaning in pain. His legs were severely swollen. This is the most obvious sign after being bitten by a belly snake.
"Aqin, do you know anything about medicine?" In modern times, this kind of snake venom can only be injected with serum. She has never studied how to treat it in ancient times.
Fortunately, A Qin knows how to poison, "I happen to have the medicine." Most Gu masters know how to poison, and since Luoyue Valley is located in a dense forest, A Qin probably knows snake venom better than anyone else.
A Qin treated the officer and soldier's poison, while Shen Yuyuan and Ji Xun walked towards the middle of the secret room.
"This one is full of venomous snakes. Just open a crack and two or three of them sprang out. It's terrible." Mr. Liang was frightened and kicked the dead snake aside with its head smashed.
"Nothing, we have snake repellent powder here." Ji Xun opened the medicine box and took out a bottle of powder. He sprinkled the powder with a unique smell around the table, and then ordered the officers and soldiers to open the tunnel.
As soon as the tunnel was opened, a disgusting stench hit your nostrils. Throw a torch in and shine a light. The bottom is covered with dense white bones. The white bones are densely covered with colorful and striped venomous snakes. They hold their heads and spit out snake messages, staring. With sinister eyes.
Shen Yu pressed the snake and spread it on his body. Just as he was about to jump into the snake's nest, Ji Xun hugged him.
"Excuse me, your husband is here, you are waiting outside."
As he spoke, Ji Xun swung dozens of swords towards the snake nest. The poisonous snakes inside turned into snake corpses in the blink of an eye, and the smell of blood became a little stronger.
After that, Ji Xun took the torch from an officer and soldier and jumped in. He quickly cleaned up the scattered poisonous snakes and chased into the passage without any delay.
Shen Yuyuan also jumped into the snake's nest without hesitation and followed him.
"This~~ Miss Ah Qin, Lord Shen turns out to be a girl." Lord Liang scratched his forehead in embarrassment and asked Ah Qin with a smile.
"Of course, Master Liang still thinks they have broken sleeves?" Ah Qin had already squeezed out the poisonous blood and applied good medicine to the injured officers and soldiers, bandaged them, walked over and squatted beside Master Liang, and looked into the snake's nest.
"Master Liang, the white bones inside look a bit like human bones."
"Really? I thought they were from wild animals." Mr. Liang was still thinking about whether to send people into the tunnel to help chase the murderer. After listening to A Qin's words, he quickly sent people down to the snake's nest to clean up the bones.
Let’s talk about Ji Xun. He followed the tunnel for an unknown distance, but finally found that the exit was blocked by a large rock, making him unable to get out.
"Is the exit blocked?" Shen Yu came over behind him.
"It's blocked and can't be pushed away." Ji Xun said, "I've been waiting for too long. It should have gone far away."
After saying that, he turned around and touched his wife's head tenderly, "Why did you come in? How unpleasant is the smell in here?" Shen Yu smiled and said, "It's okay. I've examined the corpses pulled out of the graves. It's comparable. This smells much worse."
"You girl, you are so courageous. You should follow me on the battlefield." Ji Xun pinched Shen Yu's cheeks, his expression full of admiration for her.
"Maybe you will be a good player on the battlefield, hehe." The two of them said and turned back, quickly exiting the tunnel.
Lord Liang had already sent people to clean up the human bones in the snake nest, and Shen Yu followed a few others and left the secret room.
As soon as she came out of the secret room, Aqin said she smelled the fragrance of orchids and went to look for them.
Ji Xun and Shen Yuxian came to sit in a pavilion nearby. Shen Yuxian said with suspicion: "Whether it is the secret room or the snake's nest, these are all Wei Xuanyuan's style. Is it possible that Wei Xuanyuan is not dead yet?"
After saying that, he wrinkled his face and shook his head, "It's impossible, impossible. Even if his injuries are not fatal, he will freeze to death if he doesn't drown in the water in the winter, so it's impossible for him to survive.'
"What was the situation at that time?" Ji Xun asked softly, but King Xuan did not elaborate on the matter with him.
"The situation is similar to today." Shen Yu said, "The guards surrounded Cining Palace, and he escaped through the secret passage~~ By the way, that secret passage was exactly the same as the one here. When I caught up with him, he was When he climbed out of the exit, I cut off half of his foot. After he got out, he moved a stone to block the exit, and I cut off three of his fingers with a sword. He escaped with his injuries.'
"Later, he was stabbed by King Xuan. In desperation, he cut through the ice and jumped into the water.'
"Our people searched almost all day and all night, but they didn't see him come out. It would be strange if he didn't die inside."
"Not necessarily." Ji Xun shook his head after hearing this, "The sewers of the entire palace lead directly to the moat. What if he hides in the sewers and waits for the searchers to leave before going out?"
Shen Yu pressed: He was stunned for a long time and nodded repeatedly: "Why didn't we think of this? This brain is really good!"
"Yu Zuan has never stayed in the palace, so I didn't expect it to be normal." Ji Xun took Shen Yu's hand, held it and rubbed it, "If Wei Xuanyuan hadn't died, he would have hated you to the core. It makes sense that I carefully planned to poison you at Wanmei Villa."
"So, it was Wei Xuanyuan who escaped from the tunnel just now?" Shen Yuyan opened his eyes wide and stood up. "Then what are you talking about? Hurry up and chase him."
"Master Liang has sent people to seal the city gate. He has been poisoned and cannot escape far." Ji Xun said and stood up, "He and Old Lady Bai should be together. Let's search."
"Okay." Shen Yu agreed, and the two of them left the pavilion.
"Sister Yu Yan, brother Ah Xun, we have made a big discovery." Ah Qin and Ah Shan each came over with a pot of orchids. Shen Yu pressed it and took a look. Wasn't it the orchid that old woman Bai was selling on the street that day? It seemed that she Selling orchids on the street is fake, but looking for 'prey' is real.
Soon, I searched the side room and found the clothes and other items worn by the old lady Bai. It was really a nest of snakes and rats~~
In the end, eight human skulls were taken out from the snake's nest, which was exactly the same number of missing extremely Yin girls.
However, one of the two girls who disappeared the night before was rescued in Wei Xuanyuan's house, and the other was probably taken away by Wei Xuanyuan.
"Aqin, how do you need to cure your poison?" Shen Yu asked Aqin. If Wei Xuanyuan escaped from the capital, he would definitely go to find the medicine to cure the poison.
Ah Qin didn't hide it, "If you want to unravel the poison I cast, you must go to Yunmeng Swamp to look for an orchid called the "ghost flower." That kind of orchid grows deep in the swamp and is surrounded by ferocious crocodiles and giant pythons. There's no way they can find it."
"Ghost flower?" Shen Yuyan was surprised, "We also need this kind of flower to cure the poison on Ah Xun, and we need ten more!"
However, Shen Yuyuan felt that it would not be difficult to get this kind of flower with her and Ji Xun's skills, so he looked at Aqin hurriedly.
"I also need Udumbara flower, corpse-scented konjac, and aqin. Where can I find these two things?"
Ah Qin shook her head after hearing this.
"I have heard of Udumbara flower and 'Corpse-scented Konjac', but I have never seen them. Grandma said these are the most difficult things to find in the world.'
A Qin also wanted to explain, but a prison historian ran in in panic from outside the hospital. The prison historian happened to know Ji Xun and Shen Yuyin and hurriedly reported to them.
"Master Ji, Master Shen, what's wrong, old lady Bai suddenly went crazy in prison and bit a woman in the same cell until she was bleeding~~ It's so terrifying.'
