Chapter 1749: Finally saw a living person!
As soon as Mingluo took Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe away, Yinding and the abbot got up from the ground.
The abbot quickly asked, "What's going on?"
She was in the outer room and saw nothing at all.
"Want to follow?"
"Of course," Yinding said, and whistled.
The sound was like the sound of a night bird, spreading far away.
The abbot drew his sword and said, "I will go too."
Yinding thought for a moment and said, "You should stay here. There are still those nuns who need your protection. However, there is one person I have to take with me."
"Miss Su?"
"Exactly."
The abbot nodded: "That's easy, I'll go get her."
Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe pretended to be tricked and followed Ming Liao to the courtyard wall. They watched her open the mechanism and the wall opened again.
Mingliao rang the bell and led the way.
Yan Ruyu was walking in a hurry. How long would it take her to walk at this speed?
Huo Changhe quietly squeezed her fingers, signaling her to be at ease and not to worry.
Yan Ruyu's heart suddenly calmed down and was comforted by him.
The night breeze was blowing gently, carrying with it the unique scent of spring. Although the air in the mountains was still a little chilly, it was completely different from the biting coldness of winter.
The trees are growing, branches and leaves have emerged, and dormant grass seeds have begun to break through the ground.
There seemed to be the sound of flowing water in the distance, like a dancing tune in the night.
Yan Ruyu thought that although she couldn't see the scenery, it was also rare to hear the sounds of the night.
Anyway, Huo Changhe is with me, so it doesn’t matter if it takes a little longer.
She smiled faintly, and seeing that she had calmed down, Huo Changhe also smiled.
The man in front turned around and glanced at the two of them.
I didn’t find anything unusual, but...was that an illusion just now?
Why do I feel like they are both laughing?
After a closer look, he saw that the two men had no expression on their faces, their eyes staring straight ahead, as dumb as puppets.
There's nothing wrong with that.
Mingliao calmed himself down, thinking that perhaps he had seen it wrong - never mind, he would deal with the man first when he got to the hillside, since there was no point keeping him around anyway.
Huo Changhe didn't know yet that Ming Liao had already decided to kill him.
After walking for nearly half an hour, Yan Ruyu felt that the night wind was getting stronger.
Looking more closely, I realized that it was originally a path in the forest with trees on both sides, so the wind didn't seem that strong. Now there is a hillside on one side with few trees to block the wind, so it feels windy.
The scene ahead clearly stopped, and Yan Ruyu withdrew her gaze.
Mingliao shook the little bell, and the sound became faster and more urgent.
She said to Huo Changhe, "Follow me, walk slowly."
Yan Ruyu had a feeling that she had bad intentions.
What's the purpose of taking Huo Changhe away alone?
Huo Changhe did not hesitate and walked forward with his eyes clear. Having come this far, he could not arouse the suspicion of the old nun.
When they reached the hillside, Yan Ruyu saw the scene and her heart began to lift. She vaguely guessed what Ming was going to do.
Sure enough, Mingliao's voice sounded a bit more bewitching and vicious.
"Jump down."
Huo Changhe didn't move.
Mingliang rang the bell, and the sound became sharper and more rapid, which made people feel annoyed.
"Jump!"
Huo Changhe did not hesitate this time and jumped down.
Yan Ruyu almost screamed out, but forced herself to hold it back. She believed in Huo Changhe.
Huo Changhe is not a fool. How could he really jump down and seek death just for such a thing and to make Mingluo believe him?
There must be a solution.
But even so, Yan Ruyu was still angry.
This is clear - he must die.
Mingluo was very satisfied. He walked back and took Yan Ruyu with him to move forward again.
This time the walk was very short, only a quarter of an hour, and she stopped again.
Yan Ruyu looked forward and saw a dilapidated temple without even a plaque. No wonder the abbot said it was not shown on the map.
It can be seen that Mingling's previous claims that the old abbot often brought them to repair the house, burn incense, and that some people's illnesses were cured were all lies to her.
That's not happening at all.
However, this house is drafty on all sides and doesn't look like it's habitable. What could be here?
Then she thought again, could it be that the person is underground?
Having seen too many strange and bizarre things along the way, such as underground dark rooms, Yan Ruyu was no longer surprised.
She followed Mingliao and walked into the dilapidated hut.
A little powder on the fingertips, spreading silently.
Because we don't know what the mechanism is and where it is, we'll sprinkle some incense powder now, and when Yinding and the others come later, we'll be able to find it easily.
The small house was not very big, with one room on each side and a hall in the middle. There was a statue of a god, but no one knew who it was. The shoulders and head had long been gone, and the remaining part was mottled and dilapidated.
Is this the trick? Yan Ruyu thought.
This is generally the case, because no matter what kind of statue it is, people have some awe for it and will not gather around to look at it.
It just happens to cover up their mechanism.
But Mingliao turned around and went to the west room, and Yan Ruyu had to follow him.
The room was empty, with nothing in it. Mingliao walked to the end of the wall, found a brick on the ground, and stepped on it.
The wall cracked, revealing a small dark room. Then find the switch on the wall in the dark room and turn it on.
Half of the floor of the small dark room slowly sank, revealing a tunnel.
Yan Ruyu thought to herself, what a clever idea.
Most people would give up after finding this place outside and discovering that there was nothing in the dark room. They would not guess that the real mechanism was right under their feet.
Mingliao didn't let Yan Ruyu follow him, and he didn't go down either. At the entrance of the tunnel, he whispered, "The goods have arrived."
Yan Ruyu sneered inwardly: Goods? She became a good? I will let you know who is the good in a moment!
Qiu Ke Shi inside had just fallen asleep and was drowsy when he suddenly heard a woman's voice coming from above, and was immediately startled.
"somebody is coming?"
The man in the dark sat up and finally responded: "I'll go up and take a look."
Qiu Keshi immediately seized the opportunity: "I'll go too. She said there seems to be some goods. If you can't get them, I can help you."
After hearing what he said, the man didn't say anything.
Qiu Ke Shi hurriedly followed and went out of the tunnel together.
Feeling the night wind blowing, Qiu Ke Shi sighed that it was still more comfortable up there, as the underground was not a place for living people to stay.
The man came out of the tunnel and saw Mingluo: "Where is the goods?"
He pointed at Yan Ruyu.
The man squinted his eyes and looked at her: "Just one?"
"One for now, but there will be more. We'll talk about it tomorrow. Today's one is special."
The man was very cautious: "What's the special method?"
Mingle didn't want to say too much. Firstly, if she went into details, there would be too much to say and it would be difficult to explain clearly. Secondly, she still wanted to go back and lure Miss Su out.
"That's her..."
Ming Liao thought for a moment and looked at Qiu Ke Shi: "She is here to see him."
Qiu Keshi just followed to watch the fun, but he didn't expect Ming to point directly at him.
He was a little puzzled: "Looking for me?"
He looked at Yan Ruyu. What did this woman want from him?
The moment Yan Ruyu saw Qiu Ke Shi, her stiff eyes almost couldn't maintain their original state.
He is not dead after all, and is still with this man from outside the Great Wall!
