This dungeon is a bit weird, this is what Chu Mingyun and Su Shiyu found out after turning around.
A few steps away from the corner, the oil lamps were all burning brightly. As far as the eye could see, only the place where they were before was dark, as if a thin line separated the realm of yin and yang. The more you go inside, the more cells appear in front of you. The thick door is tightly closed with small iron windows, and the door is empty. The air was full of blood, and there was a stale smell while walking, and only the footsteps of the two of them were quiet around.
The structure of the dungeon is very complicated, and the forks are crisscrossed. Chu Mingyun turned around several times by feeling, and stopped abruptly after stepping out of a walkway, his face slightly condensed. Su Shiyu, who was following behind, walked to his side, looked at a pool of ashes not far away, and said, "We're back where we were."
His words were not meant to be mocking, but Chu Mingyun couldn't help twitching the corners of his lips, "Then what is the opinion of Master Su?"
Su Shiyu smiled gently: "Where is the insight, you and I are not familiar with this kind of place, you can only try to walk around." He looked at Chu Mingyun, "People who have been fighting on the battlefield will always have a more accurate intuition, Chu Lord, continue to lead the way."
Chu Mingyun glanced at Su Shiyu sideways, turned and walked into the road again. This time he was no longer casual, and kept an eye on the wear marks on the stone wall along the way. When he was about to leave for half a cup of tea, Chu Mingyun suddenly raised his hand to stop Su Shiyu, stopped and listened for a while, a smile appeared on his lips, he saw Going to the fork on the left, he said to Su Shiyu, "Finally, someone who can ask for directions has come."
The next moment, there were clear footsteps, and a team of more than a dozen guards came. The leader was stunned when they saw the two of them, and then shouted: "Take them!" The bright sword slashed over.
Chu Mingyun stood in front of Su Shiyu and sighed faintly, "It's really troublesome, the folding fan has ruined you, and now you have to carry it with your body."
The words are a bit pitiful, but the actions of the hands are fierce. He casually folded the guard's wrist and pressed down the long knife to stab the two people on the opposite side. He flashed a sharp blade on one side, and shattered the man's throat with his backhand. Although Chu Mingyun was surrounded by guards and fought, he did not appear embarrassed at all. Instead, he was flexible and casual when walking around, and even a drop of blood did not get on the corner of his clothes.
The opponent's offensive was gradually declining, and Chu Mingyun suddenly remembered that someone seemed to be heading towards Su Shiyu before, so he hurriedly took time to look back.
I saw that there were already several corpses lying behind him. Su Shiyu's face was pale. People are speechless.
Chu Mingyun raised his eyebrows and withdrew his gaze, thinking that the decision to thoroughly investigate Su Shiyu was indeed correct. At least in this capital, few people knew that this gentle and gentle censor actually knew martial arts. He suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps rushing towards this side, and a palm shook the person in front of him away. As expected, he saw another team of guards rushing in from the fork, following the attack of the predecessors, and the team grew for a while. Get up, it's kind of endless.
Chu Mingyun was suddenly grabbed by someone's arm, and Su Shiyu said before him, "Follow me."
Su Shiyu was pulling him back and forth, but Chu Mingyun didn't know, so he still followed. The guards suddenly became anxious and strode up to catch up. Along the way, there were countless guards chasing out from another fork in the road. The dungeon, which was quiet and uninhabited, turned into chaos in the blink of an eye.
Su Shiyu stopped at the pool of ashes, raised his hand and groped for something on the stone wall.
Chu Mingyun leaned against the wall and looked at the road that the guards had not yet caught up with without looking back: "What did you find?"
The answer to him was a crisp 'click', Chu Mingyun turned around in surprise, and saw that the stone slab in front of Su Shiyu rose up, showing a path in front of him, and the oil lamps were also bright.
He opened his mouth to say something, and the sound of Xiaofeng's sword suddenly rang behind his ears. Chu Mingyun suddenly turned around and kicked the sneak attacker out. Su Shiyu raised his hand and dragged him behind the door. A blue smoke burst from his sleeves, forcing the guards to retreat quickly. Only at this moment, Su Shiyu pulled the mechanism and closed the door.
Chu Mingyun was stunned for a moment, watching Su Shiyu put the empty white-glazed porcelain vase on the ground, and said incomprehensibly, "I didn't expect that Master Su would actually use poison."
"Isn't it said in the military book that soldiers never tire of deceit, they are just means to achieve their goals with minimal loss." Su Shiyu looked at Chu Mingyun with a faint smile, and said calmly: "Besides, Master Chu probably didn't think I was the Why do I have to pretend to be someone who is bright and upright in the moonlight."
Chu Mingyun smiled tacitly and changed the subject: "How do you know there is a secret way here?"
"It's just a guess, it happened to be right." Su Shiyu turned to look at the deep stone road ahead, "According to the orientation, the cell we saw was built under the pond and was guarded by guards, obviously that was the The place where people are imprisoned, then most of the iron bars where we fell were specially made for you and me. Leaving it aside, we circled back here earlier, which means that this place can be connected to many places in the dungeon. But why bother What about connecting with a dead end?"
Chu Mingyun already understood what he meant, "So, we are at the entrance and exit of the dungeon from the beginning, so the way to go inside will be complicated, and we will never find a way out." He paused and narrowed his eyes slightly. , "So, Song Heng intends to use this to trap us here?"
Su Shiyu smiled noncommittally, and suddenly said, "That's right."
"Huh?" Chu Mingyun turned to look at him.
"The organ can still be opened, does Master Chu want to go out and get a folding fan?" Su Shiyu asked.
Chu Mingyun asked, "What do I want that?"
"If there is another change in a while, you won't have to carry it in a mortal body anymore."
"..." Chu Mingyun didn't expect Su Shiyu to take his casual words to heart, "A piece of paper dust, do you want me to follow your example and spread it out?"
"The folding fan has turned into ashes, but the fine iron that Master Chu has embedded in the fan bone should still be there." Su Shiyu said, after a pause, he added: "I never use poison casually."
"It's all the same." Chu Mingyun stepped forward and walked forward, "I can still handle my flesh and blood, so you can forget about that fan."
Su Shiyu was not obsessed with this issue, and followed suit.
The stone road was still quiet, but those setbacks were gone. The more he walked forward, the more open he became, but Chu Mingyun felt something was wrong in his heart.
A cool breeze brushed across his face, Chu Mingyun stopped, Su Shiyu also noticed the breeze and asked, "Should it be the exit soon?"
Chu Mingyun didn't say a word, just stared at an oil lamp on the side of the stone wall and looked at it. The lamp was off, and the bronze lamp was not mottled like other lamps, so it was probably not used very often.
Su Shiyu followed his gaze and looked over, thought for a moment, then walked up.
Chu Mingyun frowned and blurted out, "Come back!"
It was too late, Su Shiyu had already stepped on the front, the stone slabs under his feet suddenly sank, and the heights of the stone walls on both sides opened up immediately, a fierce wind rose, and the rain of flying arrows and arrows intertwined a black shadow.
Chu Mingyun clearly saw Su Shiyu raised his eyes and glanced over his head, but he still wanted to go forward. Chu Mingyun's strength flashed behind Su Shiyu and pulled him into his arms. This action was already fast, but the arrow was imminent. Chu Mingyun held Su Shiyu in his arms, and there was only time between the lights and flints when he stepped back. The figure turned sharply, and abruptly carried an arrow between Su Shiyu's eyebrows on his shoulder, and turned to step out of the arrow rain.
Su Shiyu was uncomfortably restrained by his arm, and when he was about to move, he heard the muffled sound of an arrowhead penetrating into flesh and blood, and the people behind him trembled almost imperceptibly, and the smell of blood came out. He paused and looked back in surprise.
