thousand words

Chapter 15

Baili Mingyan couldn't see anything for two or three seconds, all he could do was hug Qian Yuhan's waist tightly, maybe because he was too nervous, his whole body was attached to Qian Yuhan's body, so close that he could hear him to each other's heartbeat.

Qian Yuhan hugged the person in his arms with one hand, and instantly threw a cold firework from his sleeve.

The sudden light dazzled Baili Mingyan's eyes, and it took him a while to get used to it before Baili Mingyan could see the surrounding environment clearly.This is an underground stone chamber, with a vertical tunnel of tens of meters leading directly to the ground. The strange thing is that dozens of short square stone pillars grow on the stone walls around the tunnel, as if it was built for the convenience of someone accidentally falling.

Qian Yuhan hugged Baili Mingyan and fell rapidly. Baili Mingyan wondered why Qian Yuhan refused to step on the stone pillar to slow down the fall. It was not until before landing that Qian Yuhan used his left and right to use his strength to land steadily on the ground.

The cold smoke and fire were extinguished, and the surroundings returned to darkness again. Baili Mingyan touched the hand of the person beside him in the darkness and couldn't help but hold it tightly, as if he wanted to find a trace of stability from that cold hand.

"Master Qian..." Baili Mingyan couldn't help but speak.

"Don't talk." The other party hastily interrupted him before he finished speaking.

Absolute darkness always makes people feel flustered, but fortunately, the person holding it still has a familiar aura.After a while, Baili Mingyan felt that the silence was about to engulf him, and finally couldn't help but speak again, but before he could speak, Qian Yuhan spoke first: "Are you okay?"

Unexpectedly, the first sentence is concerned.Baili Mingyan was stunned for a moment before answering: "It's okay, how about you?"

Qian Yuhan grinned and said, "How can I be in trouble." As he spoke, a little fire ignited between them, turning on a lamp to dissolve the heavy darkness.

In the line of sight is Qian Yuhan's usual relaxed smile, this person seems to be able to be at ease anytime and anywhere, as if nothing can shake his heart.

"It's fine."

"Are you worried about me?" Qian Yuhan's eyes flickered.

Baili Mingyan turned his head to look at the corner of the ground, and said in a low voice like an awkward child: "I didn't."

"Then can you let me go?" Qian Yuhan raised the hand that was tightly clenched by Baili Mingyan and smiled slyly: "After all, I am still a child, and I will still be afraid when encountering such a situation. If you are afraid, what are you pretending to do?" To be brave...to be afraid is a child's prerogative."

Baili Mingyan flung his hand away as if grabbing a hot potato, an imperceptible blush appeared on his cheeks, but his expression remained cold.

"I told you I'm not a child..." He defended in a low voice, seeing the smile on the corner of the other party's mouth, as if he looked at children acting like a baby, he simply stopped explaining, frowned and said lightly: "So, what's the situation now?"

Qian Yuhan smiled and said, "Didn't you see what happened?"

Baili Mingyan was helpless, and said slowly: "Just now...in fact, you can't fall."

Qian Yu smiled coldly, and at the end he shook his head and said, "How can I have the heart to let my precious apprentice fall down?"

Baili Mingyan said: "I mean, you could have held me without falling." After a pause, he turned his head and looked at Qian Yuhan: "You fell on purpose. "

Qian Yuhan's expression paused slightly, and then his smile melted: "Is it so obvious?" He seemed to have underestimated this young man.

"Can you explain?"

Qian Yuhan said: "I just had a temporary idea. There must be a deep mystery behind the design of this store with such an organization, so I came down to take a look."

"In order to satisfy your boring curiosity, I have to waste my time." Baili Mingyan was a little dissatisfied, clearly time was running out, not to mention the nine-day appointment with Shen Qinglian, the sudden action of the government also made him a little anxious .

Qian Yuhan didn't take it seriously, and said briskly: "People should be happy and free in the rivers and lakes, why bother to be entangled in those rules and regulations, and go wherever it is interesting, even if I die like this, I don't think it is fun enough."

Baili Mingyan couldn't understand this person's thinking at all, took the fire fold from Qian Yuhan's hand, and looked around.

Qian Yuhan stopped talking and just looked at him with deep eyes.After a long time, he said, "What do you see?"

Baili Mingyan paused, turned around and shook his head, "I don't see a second exit here."

Qian Yuhan shook his head and sighed: "Who told you to find the exit, the exit is only at the top of the head, so you don't need to look for it." After a pause, Qian Yuhan approached him and fixed his eyes on him, "You didn't find anything... Hmm, special place?"

Baili Mingyan turned his head and took a few steps back, frowning: "There are stone walls all around, so what's so special about it..."

Qian Yuhan squinted his eyes, doubts clearly written in his eyes, he said: "With your identity as the young master of the Baili family, you can't tell that this secret passage is written by [Ghost]?"

Hearing this, Baili Mingyan was stunned, and looked up at Qian Yuhan in a daze.There was no wind in the dark room, but the flames flickered left and right, flickering on and off, the dim yellow light reflected Qian Yuhan's exquisite face flickering, and the corners of the lips that were clearly slightly raised were showing a bit of treachery at this time.

"The Baili Family, Qijue Villa, is another legend in Jianghu. People in Jianghu only know that the [Qijue] of Qijue Villa are Wu, Bing, Poison, Medicine, Machine, Wine, and Le. There are several outstanding things—martial arts, weapons, guns, medical skills, mechanism skills, wine, and rhythm. But few people know that the real Qijue in Qijue Villa is not seven things but seven people..." Qian Yuhan smiled and continued Said: "Or seven top killers."

"They have never participated in the martial arts conference, and they are not famous in the master list, but their existence is a big force in the martial arts, and it is they who secretly support Qijue Villa, and Qijue Villa has today's status. Currently The only ones who have shown their faces in the Jianghu are the ghost of the machine and the fairy of the doctor. But they all act in the name of individuals and have never been implicated in Qijue Villa." Speaking of this, Qian Yuhan paused slightly, with an unclear smile on his face: " Others don't know what Qijue is, so the young master of Qijue Villa doesn't know?"

Baili Mingyan's face was slightly stiff, and after a long silence, he said coldly in an extremely unnatural tone: "How do you know this?"

Qian Yu coldly snorted, and the usual sarcasm was on the corner of his mouth again: "There is no impenetrable wall in this world. People in the Jianghu don't know that it's just that they believe your words one-sidedly, and they won't pursue it if they don't doubt it. Once they have doubts, they are determined to think about it. No matter what method is used during the investigation, it will always be found.”

"You went to Qianji Pavilion?"

Qian Yu smiled coldly: "Why, do you think I can't find out about your Baili family with my ability, so you have to turn to Qianji Pavilion for help?"

Baili Mingyan pursed his lips, full of doubts in his heart.He knew where Qijue Villa was, and he was confident that no one in the Jianghu would know the secret of the villa except Qianji Pavilion.Now Qian Yuhan easily told her that something happened to Zhuangzhong...

Seeing that Baili Mingyan's expression changed, and suddenly turned cloudy, Qian Yuhan knew what this kid was worried about. He had no intention of saying something, so he said: "You don't have to worry, Qijue Villa is safe and sound, and nothing happened. I am indeed going to Qianji Pavilion..." If saying this can make you feel at ease, I will admit it as you think.

Baili Mingyan raised his eyes to look at him, the worried look in his eyes faded away and then replaced with another faint worry: "Have you been to Qianji Pavilion? What did you exchange?"

Qian Yuhan raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a smile: "Are you worried about me?"

Everyone in the Jianghu said that Qianji Pavilion would never return. Maybe they would only ask for some silver taels for the first time, but in the end they either lost their fortune or became their slaves.Qianji Pavilion is like a swamp, as long as you step into it for the first time, you will be lost forever.Even so, Qianji Pavilion is still enduring, because there are always people who confidently think that they can afford the price.

Qian Yuhan stepped into Qianji Pavilion in order to investigate the affairs of Baili's family, and must have paid some price that ordinary people cannot afford... Baili Mingyan glanced at Qian Yuhan's unreally beautiful face, and for a moment he was actually worried about Qian Yuhan Will sell his body in exchange for information.

Baili Mingyan turned away his face and hesitated and said: "My life is still in your hands. If you are captured by Qianji Pavilion in a day, I will fall."

Qian Yuhan frowned and said, "Well... this is indeed a problem, why don't I give you all the antidote right now?"

Baili Mingyan was taken aback, if he got the antidote, he could leave... No, he still has something to do, so he can't leave yet.Moreover, he doesn't seem to be in a hurry to get rid of this person...

"Are you so kind?" Baili Mingyan said contemptuously.

"Hey, you are indeed my apprentice, you know Master well..."

Baili Mingyan almost passed out, this person really couldn't believe it easily, he even doubted whether Qian Yuhan had told the truth since they met.

Thinking of this, Baili Mingyan deeply felt that this person was a mystery, and no one knew what he was thinking, so don't expect to understand him.

"What did you exchange?"

Qian Yuhan smiled and said: "It's just something from outside the province, don't worry about it."

Seeing that the other party had no intention of talking further, Baili Mingyan had no choice but to stop asking, about why Qian Yuhan investigated Qijue Villa so much that he didn't hesitate to go to Qianji Pavilion; why did he poison himself to control himself; what purpose did he have... He didn't know these things, so he could only meditate in the dim stone room full of doubts.

After a long silence, the other party's urging voice came from my ear: "Why are you in a daze, why don't you come and see your master's handwriting, find a way to get out!"

Baili Mingyan frowned and said in a low voice, "Don't you want to go out?"

Qian Yuhan wondered: "When did I say I didn't want to go out? I just want to know why the machine ghost designed and built such a secret room for this small inn in the suburbs of Beijing..."

Baili Mingyan said: "Now you know?"

Qian Yuhan shook his head, with a pure expression: "I don't know." Then the innocence turned into a strange calmness for a second: "Although I don't know why? But at least one thing is certain, if the machine ghost is not the owner of this inn, he will have a thousand threads with the boss Thousands of links, or..." Qian Yuhan paused and then looked at Baili Mingyan with a little deep meaning: "Maybe this inn is a stronghold of Qijue Villa..."

Baili Mingyan ignored Qian Yuhan's temptation, and said calmly, "Let's find a way to get out first."

Holding the fire, he stepped lightly, and with a little luck, he jumped up, and when he stepped on the first protruding stone pillar, there was a small grinding sound of mechanical gears.

"This is a simple [Seven Star Track], as long as you walk out of the star track of the Big Dipper in the four directions of east, west, north, south, and step on the point seven times without triggering the mechanism, you can go back the same way. But we must hurry up, this seven star track changes every hour Contact, I just know the position at this moment, but I may not be able to figure it out at the next hour."

Qian Yuhan said impatiently: "What's so messed up, I don't understand, I'll just tell me which stone pillar to step on behind my back later."

"……All right."
