Alternative Jianghu Adventures

The tunnel is extremely long and wide.Enough for four people and four horses to pass side by side.

A few people can be regarded as people who have walked through countless secret passages.Even during the year on the island, I almost lived in a dark room, but no dark passage was so suffocating.

There is no other reason, just because this lengthy dark passage is not only tortuous, but most importantly, it has no lighting!

Accustomed to the extravagance and waste of the night pearl on the island, the brother and sister knew that such a "luxury" life on the island is impossible outside, but there is not even a torch in the passage!

Just as Yuan Hua was about to take out the fire pocket, Xia Yun stopped him.

"This place can't be lit." She suppressed the excitement of going home, if she hadn't held Qiao Anyue with one hand and the horse with the other, she might have jumped up and down.

"If the guards see the light, I'm afraid the 'welcome way' is not as simple as 'two daggers'."

"Guard? Where did the guard come from?" Yuan Hua was curious.

Xia Yun smiled mysteriously, half threatening and half joking, and whispered four words into the kid's ear in the tone of a folk ghost story.

"everywhere."

Yuan Hua let out an "ah", and quickly realized that Xia Yun might be scaring her.

In such a dark place, you can't hear anything except the voices of a few of them. How could there be people?

When Master Yun was very excited, Yuan Hua was not frightened by her words, but retorted dismissively: "How is that possible."

"I can't help you if you don't believe me." Xia Yun shrugged, looking very embarrassed with a "believe it or not" look - if you can see her expression.

The two little ghosts naturally didn't believe it.But Qiao Anyue, whose cultivation had reached another level, obviously understood that what Xia Yun said was true.

She noticed it from the moment she stepped into the secret passage.

That sense of stalking.

Legend has it that Shenyuan Pavilion has a group of special guards called "bats".Martial arts can't be said to be very high, but they dare to be the first in concealment kung fu, and no one dares to be the second.

I heard that all the bat personnel suffered from eye diseases since childhood, but the darkness in the eyes of healthy people is a common sight for them.

Vision is blocked, and the remaining four senses are extremely sensitive after training.

Qiao Anyue is not sure how many people there are, nor their exact positions. The only thing that is certain is that countless pairs of invisible eyes are firmly locking on the group of four people at this moment, and they are constantly shifting with the actions of the four people .

Xia Yun grabbed Qiao Anyue's hand, and tapped a secret word in her palm with her fingertips.

point...horizontal...vertical...horizontal...

The itching of the palms, especially in this kind of place where you can't see your fingers, is even more distracting.

a...ten...hundred...

Qiao Anyue was stunned by the number Xia Yun gave - she never expected that there would be a whole hundred guards guarding this secret passage!

And this is just an appetizer. At the exit, more secret whistles will keep a close eye on everyone who enters and exits in unexpected places!

The defense is so strict.

Xia Yun pulled Qiao Anyue and started pinching restlessly after she finished talking about the business.

The palms of martial arts practitioners are covered with a thick layer of calluses, but Xia Yun felt that this person's hands were soft and boneless when pinched, and couldn't help but indulge in it.

and……

She glanced at Qiao Anyue generously - anyway, she was not afraid of being caught in the dark, and smiled secretly.

This person's body was always cold for some reason, and Xia Yun wanted to hold this person in his arms to warm him up anytime. She felt the cold palm warming up under her grasp, and couldn't control her great joy.

... always feel that something has changed.

Xia Yun's thoughts were flying in the dark night. I don't know when it started, maybe it was in Dongpingli Lane, or a little earlier, in the place on the island, maybe a little earlier, since I knew Qiao Anyue was Yue'er... ...No, when she was sixteen, she had already let go of her guard against this person...

No matter which face she is on, she can make her helpless, compromise, and then give in helplessly.

Qiao Anyue's cheeks were slightly red, and she always felt uncomfortable being watched by so many hidden guards. She kept trying to retract her hand—but Xia Yun stubbornly grabbed her.

...Probably because of reluctance.

Xia Yun thought in a trance, these two words jumped into her mind and she couldn't get around them no matter what.

Because of reluctance to give up, that's why I keep giving in—or holding on stubbornly like now.

For some reason, her thoughts diverged to the scene of bumping into each other in Dongpingli Lane, the two women were panting and moaning... Waiting for her to see their faces clearly... Xia Yun was in a bad mood!

What was she thinking just now?

Why would you want such a thing?

Why did she weirdly substitute herself... No, not only her, but also...

Shocked, Xia Yun quickly shook off Qiao Anyue's hand, and felt that his reaction was too great, so he quickly pulled someone's hand back again, but this time his shoulders were trembling uncontrollably.

"...What's the matter with you?" Qiao Anyue looked at Xia Yun who suddenly became nervous, inexplicable.

"No! It's nothing! It's nothing!" Xia Yun yelled hastily, his throat was dry and hoarse.

After that, Xia Yun survived unexpectedly for a long time, and led the three of them through many forks that separated left and right.

Even Yuan Hua and Yuan Chong took out Mu Zhi's token and threw it into the sky when Yuan Hua and Yuan Chong couldn't see it-of course they didn't hear the sound of falling.

This is to confirm the identity of the "bats" guarding the intersection.

Mu Zhi's token in Shen Yuan Pavilion is only inferior to Shen Gongze and the great elder, so Xia Yun can lead a group of people straight to the path without hindrance.

After an unknown amount of time, Qiao Anyue finally noticed a cool breeze breaking in from the front.

The strength of this wind was getting stronger and stronger, and soon the two brothers and sisters also noticed that the exit was approaching.

"The road ahead leads directly to the utility room, and we'll be there soon." Xia Yun's footsteps were a little faster, Xu Shi was about to go home, the uncontrollable excitement still radiated from her whole body, her mouth Li started rambling again.

"Although there are many guards in the main pavilion here, Shen Gongze and I live there all the time. The group of elders only set up some rooms here, but they don't see anyone here all year round. They are even less reliable than me. Occasionally there will be rankings. The top ten come to report on missions or visits from guests, but there will not be many..."

Xia Yun said happily, the light in front of her eyes became brighter and brighter.

"If I'm not wrong, Shen Gongze should be the only one staying here now. If Cheng Zhe and Chuyi can really find it, it may take some time to go through the secret passage to report, and they may fall behind us."

Said, came to an end.

Xia Yun pushed the blocked stone slab in front of him, and exhausted all his strength to move the slate on the ground by a gap the size of a fingernail.

Expose the organs below.

Pull the handle away, move it skillfully left and right, and there is a click, which is the sound of the mechanism spring springing off.

The slate slowly moved away, revealing the scene outside.

It's a wine cellar.

The wine in the big altar and the big altar is hoarded in this narrow basement, neatly stacked on the ground, and the surrounding walls are covered with yellowed white rice paper, on which the thousand-character inscription "Heaven and earth are mysterious and yellow, and the universe is prehistoric" The dog lay there in fear, so ugly that it was shocking.

"...you wrote it?" Qiao Anyue stared at the words for a long time before she managed to see a trace of Xia Yun's handwriting from the completely disintegrated characters.

Xia Yun replied embarrassingly: "Didn't you make up your mind to learn to write at the beginning... Then you often fell asleep looking at it, so you might as well move your things here and practice calligraphy while drinking, the effect is amazing!"

Yuan Hua and Yuan Chong were stunned when they heard it, wouldn't they fall asleep sooner?

But obviously this kind of embarrassing thing Xia Yun didn't want to talk about in front of the two brats. He pushed people and horses out of the basement like ducks, and went up to the utility room above. It flew up, choking several people to cough again and again, and even the horses snorted a few times.

Just as he patted off the ashes on his body, before he went out, he heard a familiar voice coming into his ears from outside the house——

"Why...are you here?"

Xia Yun raised his eyebrows, and subconsciously glanced at Qiao Anyue, his whole body was surprised.

"Cheng Wangcai? How did he come so fast?" Xia Yun said to himself.

Just as he was talking, he strode to the door, pushed the wooden door hard, and blurted out, "Cheng Wangcai, why are you..."

In the middle of saying this, Xia Yun interrupted.

She showed the same unbelievable expression as Cheng Zhe, staring at the woman in the fox white fur in the small courtyard, her tongue could not wait to tie several knots in her mouth.

"Hehehehehelian?" Xia Yun couldn't help trembling, he couldn't even speak a complete sentence, and it took him a while to find his voice, "Helianqiu?"

Didn't it mean that Baicao Valley was besieged by the northern army and completely destroyed by fire, and the whereabouts of all the senior officials of Baicao were unknown?

Why did the owner of Baicao Valley appear in Shenyuan Pavilion?

The woman in front of her was standing quietly in the center of the yard, but there was no surprise on her face.

She was dressed in fox white fur, and her skin could be the same color as the fur. Her hair was simply rolled up, and she was holding a small silver carved stove in her arms.

His hands were covered by the wide cuffs, so he couldn't see clearly. The brows were as elegant and dignified as a year ago, but although the expression was slightly covered up, there was still a sickness and fatigue visible to the naked eye.

He Lianqiu slightly nodded at the people from the two teams who arrived almost at the same time, "It's been a long time."

As always, calm.

"Why do you..." Before Xia Yun could finish speaking, He Lianqiu moved away from the back room.

That is the living room.

"It's hard to explain in one word." Helian Qiu spoke methodically, his eyes fixed on Cheng Zhe involuntarily.

Qiao Anyue could clearly see the warmth in Helianqiu's eyes.

"Advanced room."

A man walked in from the main entrance, followed by two children, and at the gesture of the man, he hurriedly led the horse Xia Yun had brought.

Dark brown leather jacket, simple sycamore leaves embroidered with gold thread on the neckline, sword eyebrows and eagle eyes, sharp but extremely peaceful.The man was not young. Although his hair was tied neatly behind his head, the white hair mixed with it was still shocking.

It doesn't look like someone who should appear in an assassin's alliance like Shen Yuange, but a Confucian businessman who is on the road of mutual market.

However, Xia Yun straightened his expression the moment he saw the man, made a simple salute, and quickly said, "Master Uncle."

Immediately, fearing that Qiao Anyue and the siblings would not be able to react, she added, "Pavilion Master."

The three hurriedly bowed.

It's Shen Gongze.

Shen Gongze raised his eyebrows lightly, and found it quite interesting to see Xia Yun's rare and calm appearance, but he just smiled playfully with his calm nature: "Why, go out for a while, so obey the rules?"

"Isn't this to save face for you old man!" Xia Yun raised his head, blinked his eyes, and immediately became cynical.

Before exchanging a few pleasantries, He Lianqiu coughed violently from the side.

Cheng Zhe hurriedly went up to her and patted her on the back without saying a word, with an anxious expression, "Are you all right?"

A dark color flashed in Shen Gongze's eyes, he turned his head and said to Xia Yun, "Bring everyone to the living room and send someone to serve tea."

After finishing speaking, he said loudly to Cheng Zhe, "Second Young Master of the Cheng family, take a step to speak."

"Huh?" Xia Yun was even more puzzled - when did these two people get in touch?

Cheng Zhe also looked puzzled, and after receiving Helian Qiu's reply that he was fine, he couldn't help pushing the wheelchair towards Shen Gongze.

"Master, he doesn't know, you don't have to—"

He Lianqiu was interrupted by Shen Gongze before he finished speaking.

This is the reprimand of the elders to the juniors, Shen Gongze said in a slightly angry tone, "Are you going to hide it from him for the rest of your life? No... In your situation, can you keep it a secret for the rest of your life?"

Helian Qiu was silent.

"Everyone, let's go to the living room first." After a long time, she said this, but she didn't look at Cheng Zhe.

It was clearly a reunion after a long absence, but there was a suffocating depression in the air at this moment.

The author has something to say: Finally!One hundred chapters!
