Promise of wind and rain

Chu Feiyang and Qinglang followed Cheng Xuexiang all the way to a dry well in the backyard of Changqing Gate.The mouth of the well was covered with a boulder, and it looked normal.

"This is what President Cheng said?!" Qinglang looked around, "It doesn't look different."

Cheng Xuexiang smiled, bent down and lifted the boulder, pushed it aside, pointed to the mouth of the well and said, "There is no hole in the bottom of this well, Brother Chu and Brother Qing should be prepared."

"What are you looking for at the bottom of the well?" Qinglang looked down and asked.

Cheng Xuexiang said: "It's a shame. I was just walking around and looking around. When I got here, I saw a few butterflies coming out of the cracks in this big rock. How can a dry well attract butterflies? I feel weird. I just wanted to go down the well to explore, but I didn't expect to find some strange things. I'll go down first, Brother Chu and Qing, be careful with your steps, you will know when you see it."

After Cheng Xuexiang finished speaking, he jumped down to the bottom of the well first, followed by Chu Feiyang and Qinglang.The mouth of the well was not big, and I thought the three of them would be crowded after they got down, but I didn't expect the two of them to reach the bottom of the well one after another, but Cheng Xuexiang was nowhere to be seen.

There is soft and slippery mud under the feet, which is very uncomfortable to step on.Chu Feiyang and Qinglang looked around and could only see the slippery well wall covered with moss, but they didn't know what mechanism Cheng Xuexiang had opened to disappear out of thin air.

"Brother Chu, Brother Qing, here." Cheng Xuexiang's voice suddenly sounded above their heads, and as soon as the two looked up, they saw Cheng Xuexiang's face appearing at a height of one person from the bottom of the well, where a square hole opened up, just right Can accommodate one person through.

Chu Feiyang and Qinglang went up one after another and got into the cave.

"This cave is very secretive. When I came down just now, a butterfly flew out of it, and only then did I realize that there is a mechanism on the wall of the well." Cheng Xuexiang said, leading the two into the depths of the cave.

There was no sunlight at the bottom of the well, and it was even darker in the cave, but a series of small holes were cut out on the cave wall, and torches were stuck in it.

Chu Feiyang took out a torch and lit a torch in his hand, Qinglang simply lit all the torches along the road, and the cave was brightened instantly, slightly dispelling the original coldness.

The three of them walked for a while along the narrow aisle as high as one person, and then entered an open place.Chu Feiyang raised the torch forward, and his face suddenly became dignified.

I saw that the underground cave, which was half the size of the valley, was densely packed with air-dried corpses. Looking at it at a glance, it was like being watched by dozens of pairs of empty eyes, which made people feel cold all over.

These corpses were complete with all four limbs, and no obvious injuries could be seen. Obviously, they did not die from conflicts in the rivers and lakes, and most of them still maintained the postures they had before they were alive.Most of them just sat against the wall, looking up at the ceiling of the cave. Although they couldn't see their appearance when they were alive, this posture revealed a sadness of resignation to fate.

In addition, the most strange thing is the lush flowers and plants growing under the feet.In this dark, dark cave, these green grasses and flowers grow, reflecting strangely bright colors under the light of the fire.

A few butterflies were still flying among the flowers, but they were startled by the three of them, and they flapped their wings and flew out of the cave together.

"This grass──" Qinglang recalled the scene when he hugged the injured Qinying, "These are Qinying's people?!"

Cheng Xuexiang nodded: "Brother Qing also thought of it?! Qinying's tribe has a close relationship with Wuji Villa, so many people died here, and it seems that their blood is the same as Qinying's, which is a bit strange It works. We found the Evergreen Gate this time, but we found the right one.”

When the two of them were talking, Chu Feiyang walked up to a corpse and squatted down, holding a torch to look at it carefully.

Qinglang walked over and said, "Brother Chu, did you find something?!"

Chu Feiyang pointed to the wet cave wall: "There seems to be words here."

"Oh?! It will be of great benefit to us if we can know more things. What is written on it?!" Cheng Xuexiang just looked at it casually when he came here before, but he didn't find the words engraved on the wall, so he also leaned forward and asked.

"...I don't know." Chu Feiyang said.

The three of them took turns to observe carefully, but in the end, none of them recognized the writing on the wall.That is very different from the characters used in the Central Plains, and it is impossible to even guess.

Qinglang took out a white scarf from his pocket, pressed it against the wall, and rubbed the handwriting down.

"Forget it, it's useless for the three of us to look at it again, take it back and talk about it." Qinglang folded the printed handkerchief and stuffed it back into his sleeve.

The three of them took a closer look inside the hole and found nothing else of value, so they went back to the bottom of the well and jumped back to the ground from the bottom of the well.

Cheng Xuexiang moved the stone back to the mouth of the well, and the three of them wiped away the traces around them, and then quickly left the place.

Chu Feiyang and the others walked to the place where the servants of the house came and went, they calmed down together, and walked back slowly.Qinglang took out the veil again, looked at it in the sunlight, and still didn't recognize those he didn't recognize.

"This is probably the language used by Qinying's clan." Chu Feiyang said, "Qinying's clan is isolated from the world. I'm afraid no one can read these characters except their clan."

"It's a pity that this clue is missing." Cheng Xuexiang sighed, "Although what I saw at the bottom of the well today is shocking, so far there are only a few mysteries. What I can't figure out the most is Qinying's clan. It seems that he is willing to be enslaved by Wuji Villa, even life and death are under the control of others, which is really unreasonable."

"Brother Cheng is right, but today is not nothing." Chu Feiyang said, "It seems that it is not accidental that Changqingmen will go to Wuji Mountain Villa to celebrate his birthday. The juniors like Ning Zi, Shu Ying and Gao Fang should be informed about this matter, so they should be careful."

The three of them talked while walking, walking all the way to the temporary guest room, bypassing a rockery, and in front of them was a small artificially dug lake, matched with trees on the shore, it was patchwork and unique, with a special charm.

Next to the gazebo, under the old tree.

The maid looked at the figure in the gazebo.

"Sure enough, he is a suave and handsome young man." The maid covered her mouth and snickered, and looked at He Yidao, "Miss can't even look at the deputy door master and young master Xiang. I thought that she would never be tempted for the rest of her life. It turns out that the lady's vision is too high."

"What nonsense are you talking about? It's just because he saved my life, I, I'm grateful, that's why..." He Yi blushed and said in a low voice.

The maid gave her a push and said with a smile: "Since Miss is grateful, there is no reason to hide from the savior, why not hurry up and pay respects to the benefactor."

Pushed by her, He Yi stepped out of the tree, and there was nothing to cover him.Seeing the back figure in the pavilion, and the maidservant agitating behind her, she mustered up her courage, straightened her hair and clothes, and walked towards the pavilion.
