Marry a eunuch to catch demons

Chapter 75: Human Heart and Ghosts

In desperation, Ye Ge quickly draws a stroke, the white seal flashes past, and the little pigeon flies out quickly, circling and searching in the burnt black house.

Ye Ge followed the little pigeon closely, expecting to find clues, but after flying a few times, it seemed to be confused, but it didn't fly back, and only landed in a messy corner of the side room.

Ye Ge frowned, and was about to push the little pigeon again, but Xie Zhen held her hand down.

"Sir?" Ye Ge turned her head, looking at Xie Zhen in confusion and anxiety.

Xie Zhen looked at the position where the little pigeon was staying, held up the half stick, and whispered to Ye Ge: "I'll come—"

Afterwards, white smoke came out in response, and there was only a crackling sound, and all the square bricks on the floor in the side room were engulfed in white smoke and lifted off.

The smoke and burnt dust mixed and flew up, and when they dispersed, a very black hole appeared in the place where the little pigeon was originally staying.

Looking from above, there are layers of steps chiseled below the black hole, extending to the depths of the invisible bottom, as if silently luring them in.

Xie Zhen stared at the hole intently, and already understood the other party's intentions.But when he glanced at Ye Ge's dusty face from the corner of his eye, he was shaken for the first time.

At this time, Ye Ge grabbed Xie Zhen's hand and said firmly, "Sir, don't leave me!"

"Pigeon..." Xie Zhen just wanted to speak, but felt the strength in his hand tightened a bit, and after a lot of thought, he could only smile helplessly.

He held Ye Ge's hand instead, wiped the dust off his cheeks for him, and promised, "Don't leave my little pigeon behind."

"Take it with you wherever you go."

It is not yet possible to figure out the opponent's way, who can guarantee that Ye Ge will be kept on top so that he can be safe.

Ye Ge also laughed, holding Xie Zhen's hand firmly, and the two finally walked down the dark steps hand in hand—

Although half of the pole was burning with light, the cave was very narrow, and it was still difficult to see the road ahead.The undulating stone steps under the feet seem to be endless.

This time, because they were afraid of missing the pass, they didn't rush forward on the dragon again, but just walked like this until Ye Ge's knees were almost bent, and finally finished the stone steps.

"Are you there?" Ye Ge looked at the last stone step, and looked down with the pen to guide the light. Although the road ahead was still cramped, but there were indeed no steps, he was a little relieved.

"Are you tired?" Xie Zhen put his hand on his shoulder, and Ye Ge immediately shook his head.

He didn't feel very tired, but as they went deeper, Ye Ge always felt a sense of restraint. Although it was not heavy, it was hard for him to ignore. Even the light drawn from the pen, It also looked a little darker.

"Did sir feel—"

"Well," before Ye Ge finished speaking, Xie Zhen nodded, and then put his hand on his shoulder.A warm breath followed, which diluted the sense of restraint on Ye Ge's body a lot, and the light on the rune of the pen also became brighter.

"Is it better?" Xie Zhen asked in a soft voice with his head lowered a little further away from Ye Ge.

"I'm fine," Ye Ge carefully felt the changes in his body, and then walked forward while holding Xie Zhen's hand, and asked, "Sir, what's going on? Something evil trapped me just now." Yet?"

"No, no," Xie Zhen's voice sank again this time, and he stroked one side of the cave wall with his hand, and the light that was half a pole wide spread out: "Geer, take a look at this."

Ye Ge heard the words, and just leaned over to look, but saw that the wall of the cave was not flat, but it was not a natural mess, but was full of traces of pickaxes.

"Ge, what do you think this burrow should be used for?"

Xie Zhen's question really stopped Ye Ge.At first, he just took it for granted that this cave was dug by Tie Luohan, but after thinking about it carefully, such a deep and long cave must use a lot of manpower.In addition, Tie Luohan always concealed his identity, so when he hired someone to dig the hole, it must be in the name of being serious.

Before Ye Ge could sort out his thoughts, Xie Zhen continued to speak: "In the first year of Xuantong in the previous dynasty, the governor of Cangcheng reported to his superiors that a large amount of minerals were discovered in the area."

All of a sudden, Ye Ge looked at Xie Zhen in a daze, as if being pricked by a needle, and heard him say: "The situation in the court is in turmoil, and local officials privately ordered the digging directly to collect money, but they don't want to have a mine disaster in three months. Hundreds of dead."

Speaking of which, this record is what Xie Zhen saw in the palace back then.After the mine disaster happened, somehow the matter was brought to the center of Beijing. It is a serious crime for the local government to mine mines privately, but the Qing government at that time wanted to control it but couldn’t manage it, so this matter had to be shelved, and the mine was only used as a mine. After a long time, the seizure and processing will be forgotten by people.

It wasn't until just now that Xie Zhen connected the matter when he saw the man-made traces in the cave.

"Sir, you mean... this is a mine?" Ye Ge's heart seemed to be caught by something, and he was beating violently. He asked with difficulty: "Then what kind of mine was dug here?"

Xie Zhen shook his head, and replied: "It was not mentioned in the report."

Ye Ge's eyes were still looking at Xie Zhen, and Xie Zhen was also looking at him. The two of them looked at each other like this, looking at their own figure from each other's eyes.

"It's copper, isn't it?"

Ye Ge opened his mouth softly, so soft that he couldn't hear his own voice clearly: "It's not written in the report, but... Mister also felt it, it's that kind of copper, right?"

Bronze mirror, dagger, the previous few encounters were nothing more than the temptation of the iron masked man to prove how much this copper mine had an impact on Xie Zhen and Ban Bibi.

And today's step is his real purpose.

It is self-evident what they will do to lead them into the mine that suppressed Xie Zhen.

Ye Ge opened his mouth. He wanted to persuade Xie Zhen to leave, but Mrs. Su and Su Wenli who had been kidnapped were hanging deeper in the hole like bait, so that they had to go forward even though they knew there was a hook behind them.

more importantly……

"We have been led by him for too long. Even if we can quit now, there will definitely be another time." Xie Zhen slowly pressed Ye Ge into his arms, looking at the deep cave ahead: " It's better to catch that mouse out of the hole just this time."

Ye Ge's hand grabbed Xie Zhen's front skirt, slowly clenched it tightly, and finally nodded: "Okay."

The two continued to walk forward, and the terrain in front of them began to become more complicated. Every time they passed a certain distance, they could see brackets made of bamboo poles and wood, supporting the seemingly weak roof of the cave.

Xie Zhen always pays attention to Ye Ge's footsteps from time to time, and protects him to pass quickly when encountering danger. Although this journey is not easy, at least he has not encountered any difficulties.

Until, they came to a fork in the road.

It is perfectly normal for there to be forks in the mine, but which one to choose is also a problem.

Ye Ge just wanted to use the pen in his hand to draw a charm for finding people, but he didn't want Xie Zhen to say: "Don't bother, since he wants us to go, he must leave a guide."

After finishing speaking, he took a light on one of the roads with a lighted half pole, and sure enough, Mrs. Su's Buddhist string fell in the middle of that road.

Although they found the way, Ye Ge did not feel relaxed. Since the man led them there like this, he must have made full preparations, and the way ahead was really uncertain.

Ye Ge followed Xie Zhen silently. They walked along the road with Buddha strings for a short time, and then encountered two forked roads, and also found the silk flower on Su Wenli's head on one of them. .

Going back and forth like this, they went through four forks, and they were about to go through the seventh. This time, it was Mrs. Su's handkerchief that stayed on the road to guide them.

What made Ye Ge a little concerned was that the handkerchief was stained with red spots, which looked like bloodstains.

He couldn't help squatting down to take a closer look, and he pointed his hand at the pen for lighting, so when he wanted to pick up the handkerchief, he let go of Xie Zhen's hand.

"This..." Ye Ge picked up the handkerchief, put it under his nose and smelled it, and it really smelled a faint smell of blood: "This is really blood. Could it be that Mrs. Su and the others were injured?"

Ye Ge said anxiously, just about to show the handkerchief to Xie Zhen, but when he raised his head, all he saw was an empty mine.

The surrounding area was extremely quiet, only the pen in his hand was shining in the darkness, and Xie Zhen, who was standing beside him, disappeared silently in that short moment.

"Sir, sir?" Ye Ge stood up a little at a loss, and tried to call Xie Zhen a few times, but there was only his echo in the mine, which was infinitely elongated and reverberated, until finally disappeared.

Where did sir go, did something happen just now?

Ye Ge panicked at first, but he still had a little hope. He called Xie Zhen and retreated to the fork in the road.He thought that Xie Zhen might have discovered something suddenly, so he turned to another road.

Even though he knew the possibility was extremely low, Ye Ge still comforted himself like this, until he saw that the other road was also pitch black, and there was no sign of Xie Zhen at all.

Cold sweat overflowed his forehead at some point, and at the same time because he left Xie Zhen, Ye Ge began to feel the sense of oppression, which was bound to him again, the rune drawn by the pen dimmed, and the surrounding thick darkness Like a counterattack, he was a little out of breath.

No, don't panic, now is definitely not the time to panic.

Ye Ge tried hard to calm down, even though he had tightly gripped the blood-stained handkerchief, Ye Ge was still trying his best to restrain his panic.

He tried to draw a spell to find people, but the little pigeon that was summoned was completely like a headless fly, bumping around in the narrow mine, and finally fell back to the leaf pigeon without any results. on the tip of the pen.

Xie Zhen was no longer around him at all.
