C206 (1/2)

Xie Jingxi lay on the ground in a daze. The smoke in the secret room was getting thicker and thicker, she had already hid to the farthest place, but she still couldn't endure it in this kind of sealed environment. Gradually, her breathing became more and more difficult, and her eyelids became heavier and heavier.

They had set fire to the bodies, and felt as though the walls were going to melt, the hot air stuck to her body made it difficult to breathe. Xie Jingxi stuck both of her hands onto the stone door, wishing that she could use her hands to dig a hole in the wall.

She thought in despair that if she could exchange her life for An's safety, then there would be no harm in going. It was just that she would not be able to see Gu Yun again, it was such a pity that he was so pretty. She had always wanted to talk to him about things, but she felt that he was a little silly.

However, if she were to meet him again, she must tell him that he looked very good when he smiled, even though he was always hiding his stinginess and that An was the most similar to him when he smiled. Just looking at him made her feel very satisfied, but unfortunately, Gu Yun had not even glanced at him yet.

However, Gu Yun was definitely not laughing now, he was forcefully suppressing some kind of release that was about to occur, and patiently searching for an entrance. At that time, Doctor Chang also came at night, and there was moonlight, and after thinking back for a long while, he finally confirmed the direction. I remember now, back then when I smelled the scent of the grass vines, I only thought that it was in the garden. It wasn't strange for there to be such a smell, but it was also winter then, and it was about the same as now.

It did look rather strange. The winter was actually filled with lush green vines, and from the outside, it looked like an ordinary courtyard wall. It wasn't even a rock wall. Could it be that there was another world inside?

”Doctor Chang, may I trouble you to check if the vines are poisonous?” Gu Yun did not dare to be careless, he took out a small dagger from his body and carefully cut the vines on the wall. Then, he used the handle of the dagger to knock on the wall, ”If this wall is a certain door, then this entire wall should be it.”

If the entire wall was a door, then it would be difficult to find where the crack was. Furthermore, the mechanism would definitely not be placed on the wall. Where would it be then?

”I remember, I went down a little way when I went in first.” The Doctor Chang tried his best to recall, ”Of course I'm not sure if the door was opened in advance, but after going down the slope a few floors, just like …”

Doctor Chang didn't know how to describe it for a while, but Gu Yun suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and continuously tested the ground with his foot. He didn't know whether it was due to luck or the people being careless when they were walking, but it was as if he had accidentally stepped on a low-lying spot, which was exactly where the mechanism was located. It was as if he had stepped on half of the mechanism, which wasn't normally speaking, but Gu Yun didn't have the time to think about whether it was luck or a trap.

Not far from the mechanism, a crack suddenly appeared on the ground, followed by the sound of something being opened. Not far from the mechanism, a crack suddenly appeared on the ground, followed by the sound of something being opened.

Doctor Chang was a little excited, ”Right, it should be like this. I remember that we went down first, we walked for a long time.”

Gu Yun raised a torch and unhesitatingly stepped onto the stairs, ”Doctor Chang, I'll have to trouble you to stay outside. If I don't come up, you can go outside to find Zhao Zhang and have him bring the people over.”

”Ai ai, don't worry. I'll guard it for you.”

As Gu Yun walked down the stairs, he saw a lampstand on the stone wall along the way. As he casually lit it, the things below became much brighter, and just as Doctor Chang had said, when he reached the bottom, he would go up again, and then go through another stone door. It was so mysterious that it looked like a mausoleum.

As if he was asked about the smell of smoke, Gu Yun frowned. Carefully smelling the source of the smell, it seemed to be coming from inside the stone door, could it be that there was a fire inside?

The bad premonition became stronger and stronger, after being stuck outside for such a long time, those who needed to escape should have already ran, and those who were unable to do so would probably turn into ashes. Gu Yun suddenly became agitated from his despair, and kicked hard at the stone door, and with this kick, he felt as though stone was falling from his head, it was as though it was crumbling, making him even more irritable.

Gu Yun searched on the wall, and even knocked on the lampstand on the wall one by one. Just when he was about to exhaust his patience, a light wick on the lampstand caught his attention, he went over to smell it, and found that there were no traces of fire on the lamp, he pinched his fingers and pulled, and really made him pull.

When the lamp wick was pulled out, the stone door opened, and Gu Yun held his breath, he stared fixedly at a corner of the skirt. Without even thinking, he ran over, and when the stone door opened, he could only squeeze in the corner where a person could enter.

When Xie Jingxi felt that her soul was already floating above her head, and was forcefully pulled back, she felt a burst of coldness during the extremely sultry heat. She did not know if she had already left, but it was this coldness that caused her to wake up a little.
