Time Travel Adventure

"That should be the case. Zhiyi is gone, but Yaoyao is still here. If we act rashly, we will easily lose the ball."

I had a map of the underground palace in my mind. “How many exits does this underground palace have?”

"Yeah, there are quite a few, like rat holes, everywhere. There are also many rooms that you haven't discovered."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? There must be another room behind this wall. How can we get there? We don't have to wait, do we?"

"Yes, I know there is a room, but I don't know how to get in."

I squatted on the ground. I was ready. I waited for half an hour and took a stone to draw on the ground.

Just a quarter of an hour later, the door opened. The person behind the door shocked me so much that I almost couldn't stand still. It was Zi Fu who came out, carried out by Yao Yao around the waist. Zi Fu still looked dazed as she opened the door and walked outside.

When the door opened, I could see clearly inside. There was a wall of herbs, two beds, a large table with a pile of herbs and some knives, and a large blood trough on the ground, which was full of blood.

Now that you have seen it clearly, there is no need to go in. Just follow them outside.

I watched Yaoyao walk to the cell I had just entered. There was a bed where the exit had rolled down from above. Yaoyao put Zi Fu on the bed. I don't know what mechanism he pressed, but Zi Fu was transferred upstairs.

"Wow, this is so high-tech."

Yaoyao heard my shout and looked precisely at my position. I felt a chill down my spine and felt uneasy inside.

"Come out, you've been following me for so long, aren't you tired?"

Yaoyao seemed to have seen through me. I was about to put the knife away, but Nannan held me down and shook her head at me.

I gritted my teeth and stared back at Yaoyao. Time passed by minute by minute, and I saw that the dart in Yaoyao's hand was ready to fly out at any time.

I cursed Nannan in my heart, "Nannan, will I die if this dart is thrown? This broken road makes a noise when it moves. I don't think I can avoid it."

Before Nannan could reply, a man came out from behind me and said, "You're amazing. You can see this."

This voice, isn't it Shen Jing? What's going on? Why is he here? I turned around and saw Shen Jing in a black robe embroidered with flowers. He didn't look coquettish at all.

The two of them didn't say a word, just stared at each other, as if they were about to fight. "No, whether they fight or not, should I stand further away?"

"They can't fight, and Yaoyao is about to run away."

"How come you are just like the worms in other people's stomachs? How come you know everything?"

I simply squatted on the ground and discussed it with Nannan in my mind, muttering about the two of them.

"Look for yourself, she has put away all her darts."

Really? The dart that I had just clenched tightly in my hand has disappeared. We were still betting on when Yaoyao would leave, and Yaoyao smashed a ball to the ground, just like the smoke bomb in TV dramas.

The moment the ball hit the ground, smoke rose up and was very choking, as if it was mixed with mustard oil. I choked and started coughing.

"No, this smoke is so, cough cough cough, it's choking. It's not like this in the TV dramas I saw, cough cough cough."

I felt like I was going to cough out my lungs, and then the smoke dispersed a little. I looked again and the two men were gone. I was the only one left, and the cell door was open.

"Hey, where are the two of them?"

"Let's go."

"How did they get away with such choking smoke?"

Nannan also shook her head. Could it be that their peerless magic skills could prevent this? "No, that's not right. How can we get out? We won't have to go back the same way, right?"

That feeling of suffocation is really uncomfortable, and I don’t want to experience it again. “But the bed has been put up, and the intersection has been blocked.”

I touched the wall that looked almost intact, feeling worried, "Nannan, should we find another exit?"

"No need to look for it, I know where it is, just follow me."

Nannan took me to the room where Zhiyi disappeared just now, "Nannan, why don't you activate the magic circle and leave?"

"This is his territory. If I open the magic circle here, he will find out."

Oh, yes. This underground palace belongs to the Zhiyi people. If we open any magic circle here, it should be seen.

After entering the room, Nannan observed the four sculptures in the room. The four sculptures had different postures.

"Did you find anything?"

I was lying on the bed, pinching my nose and my head was already starting to feel dizzy.

Nannan was still shuttling between the four sculptures. She simply turned into a child, got a stick of incense from somewhere, picked up the sculpture, inserted it into the base of the incense burner, and then put the sculpture back.

The sculpture's eyes began to emit smoke. "Crack."

A pot of flowers appeared at the foot of the bed. The flowers were exactly the same as the ones above. I started to feel scared, wondering if it would happen again.

"Is there no normal way out?"

"Yes, but those two are fighting inside. If you go there now, you will definitely die."

Well, I'm just a mortal. Although I feel a little sorry for Yaoyao, whose injuries have just healed, I would just cause more trouble if I go to see her. It's better for me to save my own life first.

I moved the flower pot skillfully and started moving bricks. The area underneath was really different from the tunnel I came in from. It was all dirt just now, and it was obviously a dug tunnel. But underneath it was a passage made of bricks.

I went downstairs and waited for my daughter to come down, then I moved the flower pot. With a "click", the flower pot above my head disappeared.

The passage was just right for crawling, as there was plenty of space. It was just a little dark and I couldn't see anything, so I had to rely on the faint light from my daughter's body to light the way.

We arrived when we climbed to the point where Nannan’s light was no longer bright. Although there was still a passage ahead, since Nannan said we had arrived, we must have arrived.

I pushed the flowerpot above my head away. Isn’t this the place where Jing Fan came out before?

"Next time you ask me to come, I really can't wear the clothes I like. Now they are all dirty and torn. Nannan! You have to compensate me."

"Alright, alright, Hongdou, lie down for a while. You'll catch a cold if you keep lying down."

Hongdou? It was probably the poison Nannan had placed at the door that poisoned Hongdou. She went back to the room where she started and lay down, but she didn't feel anything at all.

When I opened my eyes, I saw everything familiar and Yaoyao. Yaoyao was sitting beside my bed, eating melon seeds. Looking at the melon seed shells all over the floor, it seemed that she had been waiting for a long time.

"Yo, I'm back."

Coming back? It seems like Yaoyao knows something. "Long time no see."

Yaoyao had also finished eating the melon seeds and clapped his hands, "We just met."

"Why did you suddenly disappear last time? Where did you go? Ah!"

I was trying to change the subject and wanted to turn my head away out of embarrassment, only to find that Hongdou was lying next to me, sleeping soundly.

Yaoyao poured herself a glass of water, and I got out of bed and sat next to her. At this moment, it seemed like I had a thousand words to say, but at the same time, it seemed like I had nothing to say.
