Riding the Pheonix Chapter 98: A way out
"When I was ten years old, war broke out. Master took me to the war-torn place to save my soul. I saw with my own eyes the city after the riot. There were fires everywhere and corpses everywhere. It was a tragedy on earth. ”
"During this process, we encountered a group of enemies, and Master could only temporarily hide me in a water tank. The room was set on fire, and the beams fell down, burning next to the water tank. I dived into the water and felt like I had become a pot of cooked fish soup..."
Yang Shu was sweating profusely.
He is wearing white clothes today. In order to match the gilded saddle, his hair is tied with a gold crown, and there are also a lot of gold threads on his clothes.
The behavior of this coquettish guy made him look great when he came, but now he is covered in hot sweat.
Coupled with the wet soil dug out and getting on my body... I don’t want to describe it.
Yang Shu felt that he had never been so embarrassed in his life, but Mingwei was still talking vividly about fish soup...
Why do you always describe yourself as food?
Does she think she's not unappetizing enough?
Yang Shu was convinced that the woman next to him was mentally ill.
"Can you save some energy?" he said, "I can't breathe, do you still have time to say this?"
Mingwei took out a handkerchief to fan himself, and said softly: "I don't work, so of course I have the skills."
"Then help me work!" Yang Shu gritted his teeth, "Now is the time to fight for life. The sooner you dig it out, the more hope you can save your life!"
Mingwei stretched out her arms to show him her slender figure: "What kind of work can a helpless lady like me do? What you have to dig through now is masonry. I I only know martial arts but don’t have enough strength and inner strength. How can I **** my head against it?"
"..." Yang Shu had no expression on his face and could only hold the dagger in his hand tightly and chop it down with all his strength.
Mingwei looked at his stern face and sighed: "Do you know that you are more masculine like this? Why do you want to make yourself a white-faced boy? You are obviously a jackal, but you have to pretend to be a Shih Tzu... ”
"Ding!" The dagger made a crisp sound as it cut into the masonry.
Yang Shu turned to stare at her, his smile was like a secret look in his eyes. At this time, there was only a cold light, a bit bloodthirsty.
Mingwei didn't mean to be afraid, but looked at his face carefully: "That's right. No matter how much a jackal pretends to be, he is still a jackal..."
"Ding!" came out again.
Mingwei suddenly felt his hand loosen, and a piece of brick fell down.
The cool and stale air rushed out, immediately easing their desire to breathe.
Yang Shu didn't have time to talk to her, he bent his elbows and quickly knocked off the loose bricks, revealing a dark hole.
He shouted a few words and told the guards: "If you have no place to hide, dig over here, hurry up!"
Then he said to Mingwei: "I'll go down first. I'll call you later and then jump down."
At this time, of course Mingwei would not dismantle him and nodded: "Okay."
Looking at Yang Shu jumping down, she sighed softly.
This person may appear to be cynical, but in fact he hides his true self perfectly. Even if she peeled off the skin of the romantic young master, she was still not sure that the man with a beast in his heart was the real him.
After many years of walking around the world, she has never seen such a complicated person.
You are obviously young, but what kind of experiences can create such a person?
Yang Shu's voice came from below: "Jump down."
Mingwei smiled when he heard it.
No matter what he really looks like, he at least retains good intentions in his heart. Otherwise, the first reaction to a person who has glimpsed his secret should be to silence him.
Thinking about this, she jumped down from the dark hole.
The expected fall did not come, Yang Shu gently lifted her up and let her fall to the ground.
Mingwei sniffed: "There is no Yin Qi, this is not a tomb."
Yang Shu nodded, thinking that she couldn't see, and said: "Well, there is a passage here with fresh air, so we can't die."
"Huh." She tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Why is there a passage here? It's a bit weird!"
Yang Shu remained silent and took out a luminous pearl from his brocade bag.
With the faint light of the night pearl, the surrounding scenery was revealed in their sight.
This is a stone path. It is not carefully built. The bricks and stones are very rough. It is very long at both ends. I don’t know where it leads.
After a while, several guards rolled down from the top.
"Young Master!" As soon as they landed on the ground, they knelt down on one knee, "My subordinates have neglected their duties and put the Young Master in danger. Please punish me!"
Yang Shu waved his hand: "At this time, there is no question of punishment or not. Get up! Where are the others?"
The leader of the guards reported: "The brothers guarding the exit are trying to dig them out. Young master, don't worry."
Yang Shu looked at the guards with their burnt faces and sighed: "Whether it's right or wrong, we'll discuss it when we get back. Now let's find a way out."
"Yes."
A total of four guards came in, two in front and two in the back. They surrounded them and chose a direction to explore.
Mingwei said as he walked: "This tunnel is very crudely built~IndoMTL.com~ It doesn't look like an underground palace or any other building. It may have been built by Baoling Temple to prevent fire."
Yang Shu said: "Baoling Temple is a large temple. No matter in the past or today, it is very popular. It is not surprising that such a tunnel can be built."
"Young Master!" the guard who opened the way shouted, "Look."
While they were talking, they arrived at a relatively spacious place filled with jars, and an indescribable smell lingered in their noses.
One of the guards opened the jar, looked at it, and said, "It's pickles."
Ming smiled: "It seems that the tunnel is really built by Baoling Temple. It is used to store food on weekdays. If a fire breaks out, you can also take shelter." She nodded, "It's good. Go back and give the Buddha statue to Baoling Temple." Build a golden body!"
Yang Shu also breathed a sigh of relief.
The grain storage cellar, the result was much better than he imagined.
If a secret passage is discovered in Baoling Temple, and this is the territory of Prince Qidong, the outcome will be uncertain.
"Let's go!" Mingwei dusted off the dust on his hands, "We'll talk about it when we get out."
So the group continued to move forward.
The tunnel in Baoling Temple was quite long. They passed through several cellars, some for storing pickles, some for grain, and some for collecting sundries. It can be seen that the monks of Baoling Temple are living a good life and are very prosperous...
They slowly found the main road. Yang Shu didn’t know what he was thinking, so he stretched out his hand and knocked on the wall...
"Empty?" He was stunned for a moment.
The guards stopped, waiting for his order.
Yang Shu frowned and checked his surroundings.
The Imperial City Division specializes in shady things, and of course you need to know about these things.
After a while, he discovered that there was a mystery in the jar in the corner, and ordered the guards: "Go and move it."
"Yes." The guard moved the jar and a wall moved away.
