Abduct a shadow guard to investigate the case

"You mean, the Wujia Village compiled the secret roads of attack and defense into nursery rhymes passed down from generation to generation?"

"Yes."

Shen Yao followed Xuan Qi and moved forward on the roof with lightness kung fu. Every time he reached a certain place, Xuan Qi would lead him to choose a direction to move forward after making a little judgment.

Behind them, the demon soldier who had not yet been defeated was chasing after them, and the two of them would turn around to fight back every now and then, and tiles would splash and shatter from under their feet from time to time.

Xuan Qi's dagger had been left behind just now, Shen Yao pulled out a soft sword from his waist and handed it to him, "Use this, it was captured from the gray-clothed killer earlier."

Xuan Qi put down the sword and explained to Shen Yao, "If my deduction is correct, we can see the eaves with carp or flying cranes, just follow the direction pointed by the statue's head."

The two passed over the roof at a high speed, and after a while, an open space appeared in front of them. Lightning flashed, illuminating the doorplate of a building in front of the open space, with the words "Dragon King Temple" impressively written on it.

They found that the fish head on the eaves at their feet and the crane head on the cornice of another house on the right all pointed to the Dragon King Temple.

The footsteps of the magic soldiers chasing after them approached again, and the two of them stopped hesitating. Like swallows catching water, they landed on the open space one after the other, flew over the temple wall, and entered inside.

After entering, the two went straight to the main hall.The temple has been in disrepair for a long time, and the door of the main hall is crooked and drooping at the door.

"Dragon King Temple generally enshrines the Dragon King, and there are many statues of the Sun, Moon, Xingjun, Thunder God and Lightning Mother, but the one who can fly into the sky and play in the water should undoubtedly refer to the Dragon King himself." Shen Yao said as he walked.

When the two stepped into the main hall, they saw a sitting statue with a dragon head and a human body standing in the center.

There was a heavy banging sound at the entrance of the temple, and Shen Yao said, "It's really haunting", and stepped onto the base of the statue in one step, followed by Xuan Qi.The two pushed the base vigorously, first moved back and forth, left and right, and found that the seated statue was not moving at all, Xuan Qi said, "Turn it around and try."

The two turned the base vigorously in one direction, and the Dragon King Statue was turned around. The floor tiles under the wall facing it moved impressively, and an entrance appeared for the two of them to walk side by side.

They walked to the entrance and looked down. There were stairs leading to the dark underground. Shen Yao and Xuan Qi looked at each other, then raised their legs and stepped down the stairs.

At this moment, the door of the main hall was kicked in, and the huge figure went straight to where the two were, panting heavily.

"Come down quickly!" Shen Yao grabbed Xuan Qi's hand and jumped down. The two of them went down the stairs in three steps at a time. As soon as their feet stepped on the flat bottom, the torches on both sides lit up one by one, illuminating a long distance ahead. long passage.

The two ran forward, and the magic soldier also descended into the passage with a "bang", chasing after them with heavy steps.

"Continuing like this is not the way to go, we have to deal with him quickly." Shen Yao let go of Xuan Qi's hand, turned around and stood still, the jade flute turned horizontally, and was just about to attack, but he didn't know who stepped on the secret channel mechanism, and the two ends of the passage where the three were in The stone gate slowly fell, and the walls on both sides of this passage also began to move inward and squeeze.

"Let's go!" Xuan Qi pulled Shen Yao and wanted to pass through the stone gate quickly, but Shen Yao flipped his wrist, broke free from his hand, and pushed him hard on the chest, Xuan Qi was pushed out, and flew over short Shimen.

"Young Master—" Xuan Qi flipped over on the spot, easily stabilized his body, shouted inside, and wanted to rush back again.

"Wait for me there!" Shen Yao shouted, with a tone that could not be refuted.

He looked at the magic soldier rushing towards him, raised one corner of his mouth, and said, "It's exactly what I want."

The stone gate fell lower and lower, and the passage inside was squeezed and narrowed by the walls on both sides. Shen Yao stepped on the wall and flew up. The magic soldier slapped the air with his palm and hit the wall, making a big hole in an instant.Shen Yao kicked several times, kicking the demon soldier's head, face and chest, pushing him back to the center of the passage.

After landing, Shen Yao frowned, and her legs trembled slightly.

The passage had become almost as wide as the shoulders of the demon soldier, and he obviously noticed something was wrong, he yelled and pushed his hands outwards, and he forcibly pushed the stone wall against it.

The stone gates at both ends were only a foot away from the ground. Shen Yao heard Xuan Qi calling him loudly, so he turned around and ran towards the gate with all his strength.The stone door was getting lower and lower, and he saw Xuan Qi was already on his knees, with his knees bent and his hands resting on the ground, as if he was about to throw his body into the door in the next moment.

The walls on both sides began to move inward again, and there was a desperate roar from behind. The stone gate was close in front of him, Shen Yao calculated the distance, threw his body forward, stretched his hands forward, and slid forward against the ground.

As soon as his hand rushed out of the stone door, it was held tightly by Xuan Qi, and his whole body was pulled out of the door by a powerful force, and the stone wall almost touched his ankle at the last moment.

The Shimen slammed shut behind him, and Shen Yao pressed his whole body on Xuan Qi's body, with his head buried by Xuan Qi's neck.The two of them lay on the ground, and neither of them moved for a moment.Shen Yao felt his own heartbeat filling his eardrums, making him a little dizzy.

Xuan Qi's arms were tightly wrapped around him, close to his chest, and the ups and downs of their chests echoed each other, giving Shen Yao a feeling of overlapping with Xuan Qi's heartbeat.

He felt relieved, exhaled, and let himself lie in Xuan Qi's arms.

The next moment, the world was spinning, and Xuan Qi turned over, pressing Shen Yao under him.

"Hey..." Shen Yao exclaimed briefly, but after seeing Xuan Qi's expression, he froze for a while.

The man propped his hands on his side, raised his upper body slightly and looked down at him. His breathing was a little short, and his shoulders trembled slightly. There was no concealment of emotion on his usual dull face, his brows were frowning in panic, and his lips were pursed into a line. , those black jade-like eyes were full of worry, and they stared at Shen Yao without blinking.

Shen Yao lay flat on the ground, looking at Xuan Qi from bottom to top, he felt that Xuan Qi seemed to have become a wild animal protecting its cubs, strong and full of protective desire, locking himself with his eyes.Shen Yao felt a little thirsty, the moment of life and death he had just experienced made his blood spurt, and his heartbeat hadn't slowed down yet, but now it jumped up again.

The torches danced in the passage, and the dense light illuminated the profiles of the two of them. A few strands of hair on Xuan Qi's forehead hung down, and the tails of her hair brushed against Shen Yao's face.

He carefully looked at Shen Yao's face, loosened his brows slightly, sat up, and quickly glanced over Shen Yao's body, making sure that he had no obvious injuries, then stretched out his hands to gently pinch Shen Yao's calves on both sides to check his leg bones tendons.

Shen Yao felt that his dizziness was getting worse. The place on the leg that was pinched by Xuan Qi felt infinitely magnified, and the numb and warm feeling rushed all the way to the atrium, and then to the brain, and there was a "boom" in the brain like fireworks Like exploded.

He quickly retracted his legs and sat up all at once.

Xuan Qi's hands were empty, she suddenly came back to her senses, and hurriedly said, "Forgive me, my lord, Xuan Qi just wanted to check if you were injured."

Shen Yao's eyes drifted, and he said, "No, you pinched my leg so itchy."

"Xuan Qi knows his mistake, please punish him!" the man lowered his eyes and said, his tone was not as calm as usual, but rather angry.

"Xuan Qi," Shen Yao called him, Xuan Qi raised his eyes, and Shen Yao asked, "Are you... angry?"

Xuan Qi moved his eyelashes slightly, and said, "Xuan Qi dare not," then he gritted his teeth and said, "It's just that you should never take such a risk."

"..." Shen Yao frowned and said, "What you said is, I'm sorry, I made you worry just now."

Xuan Qi was stunned, looked away, and said, "Young Master speaks seriously, it is Xuan Qi who is useless to let you take risks."

"Pfft..." Shen Yao suddenly laughed softly.

Xuan Qi looked at him with some puzzlement, but at this moment, Shen Yao held the hand hanging by his side.As soon as Xuan Qi froze, he saw Shen Yao's face approaching him, with handsome brows and phoenix eyes, only his own reflection in the eyes.

"You don't dislike touching me, do you?" Shen Yao asked in a low voice, squeezing his palm.

"..." Xuan Qi wanted to withdraw his hand, but just as he moved, Shen Yao didn't let go, but also held his other hand, gently but firmly, with both hands clasped, the tips of their noses almost touching, just like a lover Whispering gesture.

Shen Yao looked at him intently, with a smile in his eyes, and rubbed the tip of his nose against his. Xuan Qi's face burned, as if he was frozen, and he couldn't move. He opened his mouth slightly, but he didn't know What to say.

There was a flash of light in Shen Yao's eyes, he leaned forward slightly, and kissed the corner of his mouth.

Xuan Qi's eyes widened suddenly, he held his breath suddenly, his mind went blank, all his feelings were focused on the place where Shen Yao's lips touched, Shen Yao's lips were warm and soft, his movements were restrained and affectionate, and he pecked lightly. Suck, moving slowly over his lips, like tasting a fragile treasure.

Xuan Qi felt as if he took a mouthful of spring breeze, melting away the years of cold and loneliness, and warming his body that had been drenched in cold wind and rain before.He couldn't help shaking Shen Yao's hand slightly back, but unexpectedly, the man's breathing suddenly became heavier, he raised his hand, and gently held his face.

Just when Shen Yao was about to deepen the kiss, a hoarse male voice came from far away in the passage——

"Two boys, are you here to save people?"

The two were startled, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.Xuan Qi pushed Shen Yao away, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and looked at him with some scruples, Shen Yao touched his nose, smiled at him, and signaled that it was okay.

The two stood up, and at this moment, they heard the voice again——

"There is no agency in front, so hurry up if you want to come."

They looked towards the unknown side of the passage, Shen Yao frowned slightly, and said, "Go and have a look."

Just as Xuan Qi was about to take a step, Shen Yao raised his hand to give him a quick hug, the warmth of his chest passed through his rain-wet clothes to Xuan Qi's body.

Xuan Qi stared blankly at Shen Yao letting go of his embrace, Shen Yao smiled and said, "I really want to finish this case quickly." Seeing Xuan Qi nodding his head half-understanding, he said seriously "be careful", and walked in front , Xuan Qi hurriedly followed.
