189 Reason 1
Late at night, the casino was still noisy and noisy. The man wrapped in a big coat and taking a nap in the corner suddenly woke up and squinted his eyes to look at the young man standing in front of him.
"Why is it you again..." He stretched and said impatiently, "Where is the beautiful Yunzhongjian woman with you?"
Yu Shiqi knelt down and looked directly into his eyes and said coldly: "We went to the Imperial Tomb and did not see the Master of Wangchuan Ferry. Your information is wrong."
"That's because you left late." The man said with a smile on his face, "You know very well whether my information is correct or not, otherwise you would not come back to see me again."
"Then let me ask you again, where should I go to find the Forgotten River Ferry Master now?"
"I will not sell you information twice in one day. This is my rule."
"It's past midnight."
The man was stunned, and said as if he didn't believe it: "It's already past midnight? It seems that I drank a little too much tonight. Okay, but the latest news is very expensive, what do you want to give me in exchange for it?"
"
"I can write you an IOU." Yu Shiqi said.
"It's a pity that I don't need that thing." The other party held a piece of paper between his index finger and middle finger and held it up. "Your sect master has given me an IOU before. The information sold to you will change my situation.
It's very dangerous, what can you come up with that will attract a desperado?"
Yu Shiqi's eyes revealed a silent threat.
"Don't look at me like this, young man. Killing me will not do you any good, and it will also violate the precepts of your Yunzhongjian."
"Then what do you want..."
Before Yu Shiqi could finish speaking, someone suddenly pulled him away from behind.
"Nian Jiu?" Looking back and seeing an acquaintance wearing a mask, Yu Shiqi looked stunned: "Why are you here?"
"I was just about to ask you, have you found Mr. Zhong?"
"No." Yu Shiqi shook his head, "I originally acted together with the Jiuque Sect Leader, but something went wrong in the middle."
"So you're back here again."
"Yes, what about you?"
Nian Jiu replied: "During the day, Xiaoyun and I noticed something strange about Longzhu, and we planned to go find out tonight. But before that, I wanted to come here to get the information that Xiaoci and Xiaolu failed to obtain."
"The three of them are waiting outside?"
"I'm sleeping in the inn." Nian Jiu shrugged.
"Are you alone?" Yu Shiqi was a little surprised that the injured Nian Jiu would act alone.
"It is indeed a bit troublesome to be alone, but I didn't just happen to meet you." Nian Jiu smiled softly and pushed him out: "You go outside and wait for me first."
Yu Shiqi frowned slightly and told her that the information dealer was a bit difficult to deal with.
"It doesn't matter, I'll give it a try." Nian Jiu's tone sounded very confident.
Yu Shiqi had little doubt about Nian Jiu's judgment, so he obediently went to the cold street outside the gambling shop and waited. After about a moment, he saw Nian Jiu coming out.
"Let's go to Longzhu. If we are lucky, Mr. Zhong will meet him there." She breathed slightly and greeted Yu Shiqi on the shoulder.
Seeing that she had succeeded, Yu Shiqi couldn't help but be a little curious: "That guy is willing to sell you information? Why? Before, he looked like he was indifferent."
"This is where I'm better than you, I have to keep it a secret." Nian Jiu gave up.
"Then your leg is injured..."
"It's better." Nian Jiu said there was no need to worry about it.
The two of them came to the square in front of Chaotian Palace at night. The towering dragon pillars were surrounded by a giant dragon with teeth and claws, which looked a bit scary in the darkness.
"The number of guards down there remains the same as during the day." Nian Jiu observed and said.
"Why do the Habayashi Imperial Guards guard a place like this?"
"The Dragon Pillar may be very important for the heaven-sacrifice ceremony to be held on Shangyuan Night," Nian Jiu guessed.
"There's no door down here. How do you get into the dragon pillar?"
Nian Jiu smiled and repeated to Yu Shiqi what Yun Jingchen explained to him during the day.
After hearing this, Yu Shiqi was amazed: "I didn't expect that the special task force also studied the strange techniques of construction mechanisms."
"Otherwise, how can we say that Sword in the Cloud, Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger?" Nian Jiu had no intention of telling him that this was Yun Jingchen's discovery. "Let me ask you in advance, how is your water quality?"
Yu Shiqi hesitated for a moment: "It's okay."
"This request may be a bit unreasonable in the cold spring season, but I still hope..." Nian Jiu said and looked at Yu Shiqi, her eyes suddenly widened. Before she could finish her words, Yu Shiqi had already begun to take off her clothes.
Outerwear.
"Since Zhong Ling Qi might be there, I won't flinch even in the freezing cold weather." Yu Shiqi had only a single layer of clothing left on his body, and Qiu Ye was tied to his back with a belt.
"Wait." Nian Jiu pulled him and said solemnly: "I hope you can take me in with you."
Yu Shiqi looked at her with disbelief: "Special task force..."
"Why, do you think I'm a burden?" Nian Jiu chuckled.
"I still don't know what's going on inside, is it necessary to work so hard?" Yu Shiqi's eyes subconsciously looked at her injured ankle.
"I also have a reason why I can't back down." Nian Jiu showed him her clenched fist, as if it symbolized her determination.
Yu Shiqi was infected by the indomitable aura in her eyes, so he nodded and agreed to her request to go together.
Avoiding the patrolling guards, the two sneaked into the water quietly. Although the underwater environment was dim, Yu Shiqi quickly found the entrance to the interior of the dragon pillar with the help of the direction of the water flow.
He grabbed Nian Jiu's hand and pulled her to swim quickly towards the underwater door. When both of them were almost holding their breath to the limit, they finally saw the gap above their heads where they could float up.
With two splashes, two heads popped out of the water, breathing in the air. The interior of the dragon pillar was illuminated by the same everlasting lamp as under the imperial mausoleum. Nianjiu looked around and found that it was exactly what Yun Jingchen said.
The water columns spat out by the eight little dragons enter the interior of the dragon column and then fall back into the pool they are currently in that is connected to the outside, and the cycle continues endlessly.
"The craftsman who designed this dragon pillar is really amazing." Yu Shiqi swam to the shore first, then stretched out his hand to pull up Nian Jiu who was following behind.
The only single clothes they had left on their bodies were soaked in water. They had not noticed this before when they were underwater. After landing, Yu Shiqi suddenly realized that he was okay, but Nian Jiu was now facing "Frankly".
"There is no difference anymore. The thin white shirt clung to her body after being soaked in water, and her graceful curves from top to bottom were clearly visible.
"Does it look good?" Nian Jiu pushed back the hair that had been wetted and stuck to the side of her face. Even at this time, she still stubbornly wore the obstructive silver mask.
"Hug...I'm sorry! I didn't mean it." Yu Shiqi, who was found to be looking inappropriately, looked away in embarrassment and embarrassment.
Nian Jiu smiled nonchalantly, drew out his long sword and pointed forward and said: "Look, there are stairs going up there. You're all here, go up and have a look."
