Both worlds are like dreams

In her previous life, she stayed here for three years and never entered the study. In this life, although Mo Yunchen didn't say that she was not allowed to enter, she hadn't come here either.

The layout here is exactly the same as that of Shuanglin City, except that it is a lot bigger.

And like everyone else, he exudes a sense of coldness and seems unpopular.

But a guy like him is obviously someone who has secrets. Even the royal palace in Shangyang City has such a large secret room, and this place must be no exception.

"Do you know where his secret room is hidden?" Xue Huang asked.

"There's nothing strange about the appearance and layout of this house. It's possible that it was built underground."

"That makes sense. His martial arts were practiced in extremely cold places. He can't just sit in the snow."

"Look at this light."

"Which one."

"that."

"Which one is that?"

"On the pillar next to the bookshelf, on the left."

Xue Huang walked over. The bronze lamp embedded in the pillar had no trace of candlelight. The lamp was not used for lighting, but for decoration, which was quite interesting.

She reached out and touched it, and found that the lamp could be rotated.

Turning to the right, there was a slight sound, and the bookshelf next to it moved away a meter wide, revealing a dark passage leading to the underground.

"Are you going in?" Mu Guang asked. "It would be so embarrassing if we were caught."

"What are you afraid of?" Xue Huang went down the stairs directly. "If I run into him, I can just snatch him away."

The steps here were paved with bluestone slabs, and the walls were made of bronze. The steps were very long, leading all the way to a depth of more than 20 meters underground. And the deeper you went, the colder it got.

Xue Huang didn't even take a candle, she walked down completely relying on her hearing. Soon there was light in front of her, and she could vaguely see that this was a natural underground cave, with countless stone pillars hanging above like stalactites, covered with thick frost.

The ground was almost covered with ice. What was even more strange was that there was a pool of water here, and in this extremely cold environment, it did not freeze.

Xue Huang walked closer and touched it, and found that it was spring water gushing out from deep underground, but it didn't feel hot. Why wasn't it frozen?

Opposite the pool was an ice bed, probably where Mo Yunchen practiced martial arts. A faint light shone through it and hit the pool. It must be moonlight.

Xue Huang went around to look for Mo Yunchen's whereabouts. There was a small path behind that led to a farther place, and there seemed to be a fire over there. If you light a fire here, aren't you afraid that it will burn down and bury you?

She walked over curiously. In order to avoid embarrassment, she adopted Mu Guang's advice, restrained her breath, and walked over quietly.

This is a cave within a cave, but there is no frost or ice, perhaps because the temperature is too high.

Moreover, the cave was almost completely covered with bronze, and there seemed to be a passage leading to the outside. So he was not worried about the landslide at all!

Xue Huang hid in the cracks of the rocks and couldn't see clearly, but she saw Mo Yunchen pick up something from a shelf full of books and bottles and jars and throw it into the furnace. It should be an alchemy furnace. What was he refining? The antidote for the heart-eating poison?

Half an hour later, the fire went out and Mo Yunchen seemed to have succeeded.

He put the pills in the bottle, put out the fire, and finally walked out slowly.

Xue Huang's legs were numb from waiting. Finally, she saw him leave and heard his voice fade away. Then she carefully came out from behind the rock and walked into the cave.

Only then did she see the appearance of the place clearly. The cave was very large and was illuminated by a night pearl. No wonder she felt that the firelight was a little strange just now.

This should be the place where Mo Yunchen refines the poison, because those jars are filled with medicinal herbs and some strange insects and poisons.

Some are alive, some smell bloody.

There was also a wine table next to him, with all kinds of wine. It seemed that he would wait here until the poison was refined. Wouldn't he have to drink wine while smelling the blood and strange smell? He could really drink it.

Xue Huang looked at the various vessels and furnaces used to refine poisons and shuddered, fearing that a bug would fly out and bite her, so she hurried to look through the bookshelf.

If the formula of the heart-eating poison and the method of detoxification were known, Gu Qinglan would never be tortured again.

She searched for a long time and finally found a box in a corner. Inside was the recipe for various poisons.

She didn't bother to read it and directly found the records about the Heart-Eating, but damn it!

The rest of the page had long been torn apart, with only a few useless words.

Xue Huang gnashed her teeth in anger, "This bastard!"

"It seems like he was prepared. How could he wait for you to find him?" Mu Guang sighed. "Let's think of another way."

Xue Huang closed the book and walked up the stairs. "Where is this place?"

“It seems to lead to the outside.”

"Go and see."

After Xue Huang walked up part of the stairs, the stairs became flat because they were connected to a stone wall. The ground was smooth as if something was dragging it frequently.

"This place seems to be artificially built." Mu Guang said. "But it is also very old. It is estimated that this cave was built first, and then the Hanxi Palace was built above."

"I don't understand why anyone likes to stay in this dark underground. It's already very deep underground. It's cold, damp, dark and fishy."

Xue Huang found several rags, like scraps of clothing, and broken bracelets stuck in the rock wall. Why are there so many girls' things here?

"Do you remember Mo Yunchen's blood poison?" Xue Huang asked.

"what happened?"

"The cave just now is where Mo Yunchen refines the Gu, and his blood Gu is refined with the blood of young girls, so where did those girls who never left the palace go?"

"How about we go back?" Mu Guang said. "I really don't want to see a pile of dead bodies."

Xue Huang hesitated for a moment, but still walked forward. However, the wind here was getting stronger and stronger, and she seemed to see the sun.

At first, she thought it was an illusion, but when she really walked out of the passage and saw the sunlight, she was dazed for a moment, and after a while she realized that it was really sunlight, but this was only halfway up the cliff. She didn't see the body, if there was any, it should be at the bottom of the cliff thousands of feet below.

She had also been to that place, but it seemed to be smashed to pieces.

"It seems that he took advantage of the terrain here and threw all the bodies down this thousand-foot cliff."

"Sure enough, I ended up like those people in my previous life. I just had better luck and was a canary for three years."

"Don't be sad, it's all over."

Xue Huang looked up and saw vertical cliffs covered with frost.

"It doesn't look very high from the ground. If we go up, it should be the cliff at the back door."

"But there's a thick layer of ice here. Your martial arts skills aren't good enough to survive a fall, nor are they good enough to allow you to fly up this smooth cliff without any help."

"Can't you just not hit me?"

"I'm telling the truth. Why risk your life when you can just walk?"

"I didn't say we had to go that way." Xue Huang raised her eyebrows and left along the same route.

When she passed by the stone cave where the Gu was refined, she stopped, carefully read the entire book again, and then put it back. After making sure that no traces were left, she returned to the exit of the secret room.

She listened carefully at the exit of the secret room and found that there should be no one in the study. So she pressed the button and left the study quickly.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, she did not go back to the room directly, but came to the cliff at the back door.

Looking down from here and looking down from the position just now are two completely different feelings.

The snow-capped mountains in the distance are majestic and steady, and the sea of clouds floating on the top of the mountains is dyed with brilliant light.

The scenery here is nice, but who would have thought that this bottomless abyss buried countless dead bones.

When she stood here, she was intoxicated by the beautiful scenery before her, but she never thought that it would be the last scenery she would see.

As she fell, everything in front of her seemed to be covered with blood.

She hated that color.

However, can you see the hole below from here?

Xue Huang came to the edge of the cliff, wanting to see more clearly.

The next moment, a hand suddenly appeared, grabbed her tightly, and pulled her back to the edge of the cliff.

The force was so strong that it almost broke her arm. She frowned and was about to scold someone for being so strong when she was pulled into another embrace.

Judging from the color of his clothes, it must be Mo Yunchen, but she didn't know what illness he had, and he was strangling her to the point where she almost couldn't breathe.

"What are you doing? Let me go?"
