60. Chapter 60
People like Duan Qihu, although they are now enjoying wealth and glory, they must have expected that they will encounter unexpected situations. The cunning rabbit has three holes. If he really doesn't set up a secret passage or a secret room mechanism as a way out, just in case, that would be a strange thing.
However, Cui Buqun did not expect that the entrance to Duan Qihu's secret passage was not in the common study or bed, but behind the railings of the corridor in the courtyard.
People come and go here on weekdays, but it is logically not concealed at all. But the most unlikely place has become a glimmer of life for Duan Qihu at this time. When Cui Bulu fell from the gap opened by the agency, he thought that there must be other entrances in the Duan family besides this entrance. Otherwise, Duan Qihu would not be in danger in the yard today, but in the study or bedroom, he would probably have a dead end.
The entrance of the secret passage is a diagonally downward corridor. Duan Qihu must have spent a lot of effort on it. The corridor is polished and smoothed, and there are no thick stones that can easily hurt people. Cui Buqu slipped for a while, and he felt that his feet were empty. He fell down involuntarily. At this time, his waist was gently supported by a gentle force, avoiding the fate of falling apart.
"Thank you." He whispered.
"Master Cui is so polite." He stretched out his hand and couldn't see his five fingers. I guess Bingxian was also observing the situation around him. "Just Master Yan and Duan Qihu fell from here just now. Logically speaking, they should not have gone far."
But the surroundings were silent and there was no movement.
That is to say, the two of them should not be nearby.
"Let's go ahead and take a look." Cui Bu said.
Bingxian naturally had no objection: "There is no sun here, and I can't see clearly. Master Cui, please follow me closely, so as not to save me if I have something to do."
Cui Bulu said, "I'll go ahead of you."
It is sometimes wide and sometimes narrow, so it is obvious that two people can't stand shoulder to shoulder. If there is any danger, there is no time to hide. If Cui does not walk behind the ice string, it is easy to bump into the ice string in front because it is invisible, which will be embarrassing for life.
Bingxian smiled in the darkness.
She has seen many men who take advantage of the pretext, and is even more full of false benevolence and righteousness. She has been unable to walk when she sees beauty. She even admires Cui Buqu’s behavior of not saying anything but drawing a line in fact.
"No need." Bingxian said, "The Taoist priest should follow me."
After saying that, she walked forward first, touched the wall beside her, and moved forward slowly.
"There should be a candlestick on the wall, and I'll find it... I have it."
Bingxian took out the fire from his arms and lit it. A cluster of light slowly emerged within his sight. Both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Darkness means the unknown, and people will always be afraid of the unknown. With this ray of light, even if there are any trap mechanisms here, it will at least be easier to discover.
Bingxian took the candlestick off the wall and wanted to light up the candlesticks around him, but found that the candles were burned out, and the only one in his hand was gone, and the lamp was gone, and it was at the end of his strength.
This means that people often come here.
The place where they fell was a stone chamber that was dug up for personal purposes. It was flat in all directions, but empty and had nothing.
There is no bed, no seat, let alone a table and pen.
Bingxian frowned.
If people often come, would they do nothing, just sit on the ground here, or leave after standing and speaking?
But the entrance is so steep that it is not easy to climb back.
Cui Bugu squatted down, reached out and touched the ground, then put it in front of his nose and sniffed it.
"It's blood, they've been here just now."
Bingxian said intimidatingly. She had just been looking around, but forgot about her dim feet. At this moment, she was busy squatting down and following the place where the other party said, and found a trace of blood dragging.
Cui Buyou asked Bingxian to pass the candlestick, and almost lay on the ground and looked at it carefully. After a while, he pointed to a corner and said, "They disappeared there."
The blood was twisted and twisted, and the sand and gravel on the ground moved, and the traces were sometimes light and sometimes heavy, indicating that Duan Qihu's injuries were not fake. He might not even stand up, and he staggered. After being caught up by Yan Xuexing, he dragged it directly on the ground. As a result, the two suddenly disappeared together.
There is nothing in the corner.
The mechanism should be hidden on the floor tiles or walls. There is no need to say much, and the two walked over and started searching separately.
Cui Bu went here and found nothing, and Bingxian exclaimed.
As soon as he turned his head, the ground under his feet began to shake. Bingxian was startled and reached out to stick to the wall on the side. He turned around to catch Cui Bugui, but it was still half a step late. Cui Bugui had already fallen down. The two of them had just missed their hands, and Cui Bugui grabbed the sky directly.
The next moment, his back first hit the wall, and a severe pain came, followed by a fishy storm, accompanied by a roar of a beast.
Cui Buqu was so sad that he fell, his chest was stuffy and painful. He subconsciously wanted to say something with a cough, but was yelled back by this roar.
If it is Bingxian or Fengxiao, it is definitely not difficult to avoid it, but it is even more difficult for Cui Wulu.
There was no way to avoid it, so he could only close his eyes. Even though he had done everything, he did not expect that he did not die under the toxic attack of Naihexiang. He was not killed by Yuxiu or Yuheng, but was in this nameless secret room and was bitten to death by a beast who didn't even know his name.
My arm was suddenly grabbed and I pulled it hard!
Cui Bugu bumped into someone's arms, and was hugged by the other party and rolled down to the side.
The beast rushed into the air, roared angrily, and rushed towards them again.
Cui Buqu just felt that the other party put him down, his weapons whirled, and he faced the beast head-on.
In the darkness, one man and one beast were fighting together. The beast was very interested in Cui Buqu. He had already regarded him as a meal on the plate, but who knew that the person who was in trouble had repeatedly cut wounds on it. The beast became more and more impatient and roared towards the man, but was directly opened by a sword light, falling heavily from the air, making a dull sound.
A beast is fearful, but for ordinary people, this beast is no match for people with martial arts.
What's more, this person has good martial arts skills and can even be called a master.
It’s not Duan Qihu, nor is it Yan Xuexing.
Who could that be?
Feng Xiao didn't use a sword either.
Cui Buqu felt that he might have been confused when he fell just now, and even his thinking and reaction was a little slower than usual.
Until the other party talked to him: "Are you okay?"
Cui Buqu couldn't help coughing a few times, feeling the familiar smell of blood coming from his throat, and said hoarsely: "Thank you, you are the one who dares to ask about the name Gao?"
The other party said: "Xiao Lu."
Cui Buqu said in confusion: "Cao Tou Xiao?"
The other party smiled and said, "No, staggering."
Cui Buqun frowned while holding his dizzy forehead, and felt that the name was a little familiar, and he remembered it for a moment.
Sure enough, he is another famous person.
And he is also a very famous person.
What kind of virtue is the Duan Mansion in this city? In one night, there are many heroes gathering and tourists from all directions?
