Brewmaster

The halo gradually dimmed, and the red plum disappeared again. Shi Mu's eyelashes trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes.

Shi Mu blinked quickly a few times to adapt to the nearby light, and then saw Huarong at first sight.

Shi Mu subconsciously smiled.

No sarcasm, no ridicule, not like Shi Mu's usual funny smile.

It was like a child's smile, extremely pure.

Pure happiness - because I saw Hua Rong.

Huarong knows.

The heart that was hanging in the air suddenly fell to the ground.

Huarong understood that he wanted to go wrong.

If the immortals have intentions, the so-called flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water are nonsense.

As for what the immortal thinks, it seems obvious now.

What else did he have to worry about?

Huarong smiled back.

Shi Mu raised his eyebrows instead: "What are you smirking at?"

"It's nothing," Huarong categorically denied, why would he express his panic, fearing that Shi Mu would mercilessly laugh at him, "It's you, what did you see?"

Shi Mu gave a meaningful "Oh", and the corners of his lips curved into a sneer again: "You are right, there are indeed people from the Di tribe, but there are others, you must guess..." Shi Mu extended his tone, The conversation changed, "Well, maybe I can guess."

Huarong raised her eyebrows.

Apparently someone he knew.

Secretly colluding with foreigners, occupying a ghost city, and covering up all the news, it can be regarded as covering the sky with one hand in this boundary.

Who else could there be such an ambitious and powerful person?

"The people there are all weird." When Shi Mu deliberately squeezed his voice while talking, Hua Rong almost couldn't help laughing.

Obviously, exactly what he thought.

That father-in-law is still so greedy!

"Sure enough, you chose a good place." Huarong's eyes lit up with excitement, "What a coincidence."

It's not easy to enter the palace, so it's another story about the stronghold Qin Jin set up secretly.

"Obviously it was calculated by this immortal."

The immortal said there is no burden.

It's just... who knows the truth.

But Huarong's connivance towards Shi Mu has no bottom line, because the fairy rolled his eyes with a childish smile, and said, "That's really great."

How can the immortal not see it, it's just that this person is too careless and accommodating too obviously.

A touch of shame welled up, and Shi Mu felt that he had become an unreasonable child, and the handsome face that he regarded as just a boy coaxed him like an adult.

However, I couldn't restrain my happiness.

After all, everyone wants someone who can accommodate themselves without a bottom line, even immortals are no exception.

The immortal blushed quietly, at a loss.

Shi Mu turned his face away, and felt that this was more like a child, [-]% weaker. Instead, he turned his head and stared at Huarong, smiling wildly: "You said, if we destroy Qin Jin's stronghold, he will How do you react?"

This reaction is really cute, Huarong thought so, but she couldn't tell Shi Mu, she had better follow Shi Mu's words first: "I'm afraid I can't wait to burn my eyebrows."

Colluding with foreigners is not a good thing that can be made public.

Qin Jin has made many enemies in the court. If it is exposed, after several rounds of impeachment, the charge of treason will be suppressed.

Even if the emperor is stupid, even if he is stupid, which emperor can bear such disobedience?

Qin Jin was suspicious, and would not dare to let others handle this matter, so he could only fool the emperor first, and then rush to Fengdu himself after he stabilized the other party.

It's just that he doesn't know that it's easy to come, but difficult to go.

"What's the matter? Are you going to take a look now?"

"where is it?"

After all, Hua Rong only guessed a rough idea, but she couldn't see what Shi Mu saw, so she had to understand it first before making a decision.

"Tsk, mortals are really troublesome," Shi Mu breathed out, but still explained to Hua Rong, "The place with the most people is right in front, do you see that? It's quite a big building, I don't know what it was for."

The so-called "building" was indeed not far from them, and they could be seen through the gap between the low walls. Part of the place had burned down, and only half of the tall building was left alone on the ground, which looked quite tragic.

Looking closely, it can be seen that the building is not only large, but also has extremely gorgeous carvings. I don't know which house it was originally, or some romantic occasion.

It's just that no matter how luxurious it was before, it's just a few incomplete walls now. If the owner sees it, he doesn't know how sad he should be, if he can still see it...

Hua Rong nodded, and Shi Mu continued: "There is a large space dug out in the basement of that building, and that's where I saw the barbarians and those eunuchs. Guess what it is for?"

Huarong frowned, it's hard to guess.

This place is as high as the sky and the emperor is far away. If I really want to come, anything is possible.

I'm afraid that Qin Jin really has objections, the underground is not as simple as just people...

Seeing Huarong's incomprehension, Shi Mu pretended to be confused, and said, "I'm going to tell you that you will definitely go and have a look, so let's go over there first, and talk as we go."

When Shi Mu stepped out of the short building, feeling the fresh air outside, he couldn't help but want to stretch his waist, but he forgot that there is a lot of dust in Fengdu, and when there is a slight breeze, the dust can't wait to rise up, Shi Mu is still lazily Exhaling deeply, I was so choked that I couldn't help coughing, my tears were stimulated, and I felt so uncomfortable.

Huarong patted Shi Mu's back, and Shi Mu gradually regained his composure, and was ready to walk with his nose covered.

Shi Mu's voice was muffled through his sleeves: "It's a huge underground casino, and there are quite a few people. I took a quick look, and it wasn't just the court officials, but also people from all walks of life who participated in it." , it’s hard for them to travel all the way to Fengdu.”

"Don't you also travel all the way to Fengdu?"

"I'm not interested in casinos." It wasn't someone who said he wanted to accompany him, so he found such a place. Not only are there few people, but it seems interesting. If someone takes revenge... well, he will come here sooner or later Bar.

So it seems that there is a fate with this place.

Although it's a bit like a sinful fate...

The two approached the ruins of half of the building, and felt that the center of gravity of the building missing a few beams was shaking in the wind unsteadily, and they could also hear the sound of "squeak".

Creepy.

It is estimated that those Yi people finally realized that they should cover up their whereabouts, but instead of cleaning up this time, they deliberately sprinkled a few handfuls of ash.

Shi Mu felt that he would probably never understand what was going on in these people's minds. They really were barbarians, just a group of guys with strong limbs and simple minds.

The two walked around the building, and found that there was obviously more dust in one place, pretending to be a dry roll with few people moving, deliberately ignoring, but it was still possible to see that the ground was a little swollen, like Something is buried, but more like a... entrance.

There is really no silver 300 taels here!

Shi Mu smiled, it doesn't matter if these people are uneducated, for him it will take no effort at all.

Shi Mu drew the wind to blow away the dust on the ground, and the wind carried the dust away, Shi Mu bent down, ready to lift off the bricks on the ground.

Huarong stopped Shi Mu: "Let me come, maybe it's a trap."

The entrance is too easy to find, but it is full of weirdness everywhere.Maybe someone did it on purpose, it's better to be careful.

From Shi Mu's point of view, Huarong stopped him like this, as if he was underestimated.

Underestimating immortals, this beautiful face is the first time in the world.

But it feels good to be protected, it's just...

"It's so troublesome," Shi Mu raised his eyebrows, "I'll just take a look."

Immortals are not masters who need to be protected.

Shi Mu only needs to close his eyes for a moment to know - there are no traps under the ground, just a passage, not spacious, with torches placed on the rough stone walls, and there are only people guarding at the end of the passage, the guards are tall and wearing The armor holds a halberd and has a messy beard. It looks very rough. It should be from the Yi tribe.

"It's okay, you can go down, let's go."

Since Shi Mu said it, there is nothing to doubt.

It's just that Huarong is still a little helpless, he thinks he is strong, and in fact he is, but when he meets Shi Mu, he has a lot of strength, but he can't use it.

I don't know if this is good or bad.

However, meeting this person was enough to make him feel lucky, other things were irrelevant.

At least he can still be a coolie.

Huarong inserted her fingers into the gaps between the floor tiles, and clasped the bulging place. Huarong tried to raise her hand, but the stone bricks were heavy and did not move at all.

Huarong exerted all her strength, the veins on her arms were bulging and jumping up and down, and she was in a deadlock for a few seconds before she lifted the stone brick.

An arm-thick iron chain was connected under the stone bricks, and the stone bricks lifted up after bumping against each other, revealing the passageway covered under it.

The entrance of the passage is very narrow, and only one adult man can pass through at a time.The passage is vertical, about seven or eight meters long. From above, you can vaguely see that there is another entrance at the bottom of the vertical passage, which seems to be connected with steps.

Huarong jumped into the passage first.

The distance of seven or eight meters is not high for ordinary qi practitioners, let alone for Huarong, an expert.Huarong landed safely, looked into the entrance first, and then greeted Shi Mu to come down.

Huarong stepped into the entrance to make way for the open space, and Shi Mu jumped down after him.

Before the two walked up the steps, Shi Mu smoothly closed the bricks that were connected with the chains, the sunlight was blocked outside, and the passageway was dimmed in an instant, leaving only the yellowish light of the beating torches.

The two went down the stairs.

The stone path was obviously repaired deliberately, but it was not carefully carved. They are all natural stone bricks, with uneven surfaces and edges. I don't know how many years have passed, but they are still somewhat weathered.

It is obviously repaired in a sheltered position.

Going deeper, I don't know if it's because of going deep into the ground, the surrounding area becomes a little damp, and moss spreads on the stone wall, which is greasy.

Fortunately, the stone road has widened, and it is not too difficult to walk carefully.

Hua Rong walked beside Shi Mu, so as to protect Shi Mu for a while.

The stone path became wider and wider, the stone walls began to become more refined, the steps became less and less, and the road became gentler, as if it was about to walk out of the passage.

The two of them quickened their pace at the same time.

You can see the light of the night pearl, covering up the light of the torch, it is dazzling white.

I don't know if I still remember Qin Jin
