Returning to you in the depths of the white clouds

Xu Yuqing's mechanical skills were not in vain.In the punctured "Martial Arts", the Five Sages left clues to the mechanism path of the final tomb.I don't know whether She Gui didn't have time to look at it carefully, or didn't understand it at all, so he missed the opportunity and died underground.

In addition, the incomplete half of "The Art of Pirates" on She Gui has also become their "pioneering stone". Although most of the books are missing, based on what Xu Yuqing has learned, it is not difficult to deduce the general topographic map from it. , They finally figured out the layout of this treasure house.

According to the clues, the two found the path behind the bookshelf in the stone room, leading them all the way deep into the mountainside on this side.At the beginning, the road was good. Although the road was narrow and winding, it could accommodate a grown man to walk upright. However, the middle part of the road became more and more difficult to walk. Due to years of disrepair, the wood and stone in some places were broken or collapsed, which made the two of them struggle After a while.

"Hey! Wait a minute, I'll take a rest." Xu Yuqing leaned on the mountain wall and stretched her body uncomfortably.Hearing this, Gu Linfeng paused in front of him, then turned around and walked towards him.

Along the way just now, some places require people to crawl or kneel to pass, which is indeed a bit exhausting.Xu Yuqing pressed her entire back against the mountain wall, relaxed her legs, closed her eyes and planned to rest for a while, then muttered casually: "This broken road is really tossing, but fortunately there is no mechanism, otherwise I... …What are you doing!"

He opened his eyes at once, Gu Linfeng was so close that he could hear his breathing.Before he was still talking, he felt his forehead was touched lightly.Normally, his reaction to this would never be so big, but right now... the touch made his body stiffen reflexively.

As soon as he spoke, Gu Linfeng withdrew his hand in embarrassment, and took a half step back: "What's wrong with you?"

It turned out that he was afraid that he would get a fever.Seeing this, Xu Yuqing laughed helplessly, but didn't know what to say, and joked, "I don't feel well anywhere. I have a sore waist and knee pain. Can you cure it, a genius doctor?"

I don't know what he thought of, Gu Linfeng responded vaguely, and turned his head silently.Using the weak light, Xu Yuqing noticed that the base of the other party's ears were slightly red.

He thought, Gu Linfeng is really interesting.The tiger-wolf attitude of last night, and in hindsight, I don't understand sex, but the usual appearance seems to be empty, no matter men or women, they can't get close.Or in these years of not being in touch, this person has already opened his eyes, and there are people who sleep with him by his side...

"Hey," he thought so, and asked, "Have you... had anyone around you these years?"

"Huh?" Gu Linfeng turned his face sideways, frowning slightly, as if he didn't quite understand what he meant.

"The person next to the pillow, is it a man or a woman?" Xu Yuqing always likes to pick up the ending when he speaks, just like his pair of peach blossom eyes, as if throwing a small hook, waiting for you to take the bait.

"No." Gu Linfeng exhaled, and turned around to face him, frowning even a little seriously, he repeated: "Never."

Xu Yuqing was stunned for a moment by his serious look: "...If you don't have it, then you don't, I'll just ask."

Gu Linfeng replied with an "um" again, and didn't talk about the topic again: "Take a break, I'll look around."

Seeing him walking a little away, Xu Yuqing let out a long sigh of relief.I don't know if it's because of the pressure or the physical strength of the first head is slightly overdrawn, but when Gu Linfeng said that to him just now, his heart tightened.

"If you don't have it, you don't have it. Why are you so serious." Xu Yuqing thought to herself, "You can't ask me to be responsible for you, right?"

Thinking about it, he bent down again and rubbed his knees.Last night, being kneeled and pressed on the cold stone bed, my knees inevitably ached and my waist was really sore.

"I'm at a disadvantage." He muttered softly, straightened up, stretched his lower limbs, and prepared to call Shanggu Linfeng to move forward.But before he could speak, he heard Gu Linfeng's voice coming from the winding path nearby.

"Yu Qing, come here."

Xu Yuqing followed the sound, and after making two turns, he saw Gu Linfeng's back standing at the crossing.There should be a wall lamp not far away, and the light is projected over, making it look much brighter.But as soon as he reached the intersection, he smelled a bloody smell.The road ahead obviously opened up a lot, he walked up to Gu Linfeng and stood still, then followed his gaze.

"This is……!"

It turned out that on the road ahead, there were many spikes rising from it, forming a burst, blocking the way.Just above the thorn array, there was a person lying on his back, and directly above him, there was another row of blood-stained thorns.This person's body was pierced by the sharp thorns below, and his body was full of holes. Blood flowed all over the place, which was very tragic.Xu Yuqing squatted down, sniffed the blood on the ground, and observed the layout of the surrounding ground.

Gu Linfeng followed behind him: "I've probably seen it. The blood is still fresh. This person died less than an hour ago. I didn't dare to move the mechanism, and I didn't get too close."

"There is no problem on this land," Xu Yuqing stood up, "Look closer."

The two stepped forward cautiously, the area of ​​the spike array was not very large, they were enough to see the face of the man clearly, they had never seen it before.His clothes were also ordinary black brocade clothes, but they had already been soaked in blood, so his status was not considered low.His saber seemed to be falling between the spikes, out of reach from their positions.Gu Linfeng didn't dare to touch it rashly, so he lowered his body and observed for a while.

"This knife...should be someone from the pylorus guard. I've seen similar ones, and the shape is a little different from that of the folk."

Xu Yuqing came over and patted him on the shoulder: "Get up and look, I checked, the mechanism in this place should have been violently destroyed by the people who came before, and it can't be triggered now."

Compared with the previous design, the mechanism setting here is more brutal, it seems that Fu Sheng is unwilling to be stepped into here.Once triggered, the upper and lower spikes will suddenly close, piercing people right through.However, the people who came here before seemed to have extremely high martial arts skills. They did not know how to forcefully destroy the upper gate, and the spikes on the upper row could no longer move.It's just that the one who is lying here on his back is probably a slingshot for the trial.

"The people who destroyed this mechanism were highly skilled in martial arts and very smart. They quickly found the gate when the mechanism was activated, and shattered it with their skills. I heard that the pyloric dark guards usually work in teams of two, and the inner guards will act alone. If it is true, then the person who came here should be in the same group as this one, and I am afraid that he is a master of foreign servants." Xu Yuqing analyzed.

"As Ying Hongting said earlier, we haven't met the person who met She Gui." Gu Linfeng added.

The two looked at each other, and both had some judgments about this unknown person in their hearts.

The road ahead is still unknown, but according to this layout, the final tomb should not be far away.
