Chapter 103 Underground Abyss
Thunder Mountain Villa.
The empty building complex is still quietly located there. From a distance, there are many pavilions scattered and magnificent, and the end is majestic and majestic.
In the twilight, the half-round setting sun, which is half hidden in the clouds, spreads the crimson sunlight on the tiles and cornices, melting like flowing blood, making the entire Leiting Villa seem to be shrouded in endless blood light.
"I used to wonder why Wen Yusi was so keen on fame, wealth and power, but now that I think about it, Wen's residence is indeed too petty." Qixian held his hands behind his back, looking at the entire Thunder Mountain Villa in the twilight, his godless eyes seemed to reflect the skylight, At that moment, it even made people feel that he was not blind at all.
Although this illusion was quickly shattered, Qi Xian tilted his head, "Apart from those just now, what else did you see?"
Wen Nianyuan stood expressionlessly half a step behind him, glanced unkindly over those pavilions one by one, shook his head, and brought a breeze, "The Wen family has enough."
No matter how much the Wen family has stood for a hundred years, it is still just a family, and its martial arts are only passed down to the Wen family line, which is not comparable to those sects that have established sects and recruited many disciples, and do not need to occupy a large territory.
In their generation, Wen Wuyi and him are the only direct descendants of the Wen family. Even with Qixian who lives outside the home, which is considered unfair to most people, it is only three people, so Wen Nianyuan has never been able to I understand why Wen Yusi has such great ambition and confidence to plan so many unimaginable layouts. After all, ambition is often the product of power expansion to a certain extent.
And it was obvious that even with the addition of the Huang family, the Wen family had no possibility of dominating the world. Why Wen Yusi was so obsessively obsessed was actually a very unwise thing in itself.
...Wen Nianyuan's heart skipped a beat. Although he didn't see anything strange other than the buildings, when it comes to aristocratic families, Leiting Villa is actually...just a family.
The Ye family and the Wen family are actually quite similar to a certain extent, but it is obvious that in today's Jianghu, the Ye family is far more popular than the Wen family, and its reputation and prestige can be said to be at the height of the sky.
But no matter how prosperous it is, the buildings in Thunder Mountain Villa seem too—
"It's so spectacular, tsk tsk." Ning Xiumao touched his chin, tsk tsk loudly, "When I came back, I wanted to say that Thunder Mountain Villa was built too domineeringly, not to mention Shaolin Wudang, I think it can catch up with the royal family, which shows this ambition But it's really not small...you think so, Xiao Qingtong?"
He reached out to touch Qingtong's head, but Qingtong quickly dodged it, and the young man floated to Qixian's side, silently looking at the plaque of Thunder Villa.
Hearing the sound of the wind, Qi Xian raised the corners of his mouth, stretched out his hand to rub Qingtong's hair accurately, raised his chin slightly before Wen Nianyuan looked over, and said, "Such a big villa with so many people, what do you think? The power to make them disappear overnight?"
"No, they didn't disappear at all." Wen Nianyuan whispered firmly.
The man who asked the question raised his eyebrows, "I found that you are getting smarter and smarter, so sure, tell me your reason?"
"I don't know." Wen Nianyuan looked at the person in front of him very honestly, even though he knew that the other person could no longer meet his gaze, he still watched intently, "All I know is that you are very smart, you are willing to come, explain here It’s definitely not an empty city.”
"..." Qixian was silent for a long while, let out a long breath, put his hand on Wen Nianyuan's chest, and murmured, "Who taught you to speak sweet words so beautifully? Or, did you inherit this Wen family's flair? talent?"
Ning Xiumao saw that they seemed to be going to fuck again, so he hurriedly pulled the reluctant Qingtong away, so he didn't hear Qixian leaning against Wen Nianyuan's chest and whispering in his ear, "" careful."
As for who to watch out for, the person who said it didn't point it out, and the person who listened didn't ask.
Afterwards, the four of them entered the Thunder Villa silently, but this time was completely different from their first time stepping into the Thunder Villa. They were equally heavy and tense, but the reasons for their actions were completely different.
Walking all the way, the courtyard is still sparsely populated with flowers and trees, and there is no one there. The setting sun slowly becomes silent, stretching the figures into thin and long figures, like ghosts and ghosts, projected on the ground.
"Is there... really someone here?" After an unknown amount of time, Qingtong slowed down, hesitated for a moment, turned to Ning Xiumao, and asked in a hoarse voice.
Ning Xiumao shrugged and nodded again, "Yes."
Qingtong didn't make a sound, but the suspicion in his eyes was obvious enough, Ning Xiumao grinned, "Many people, who have done too many bad things, dare not stay where the sun shines, such as my old man, who used to go out After looking for flowers and asking Liu Wan, I always hide in the secret room in the basement—and then I was blocked by the Lion Roar of the River East, haha."
A completely unsmiling joke passed by Qingtong's ears, he pursed his lips, and suddenly thought of something, his whole body shook, and some kind of flame seemed to burn in his eyes.
Ning Xiumao understood, "Have you thought about it?"
The young man's face was full of tangled expressions, as if he was caught in a deep contradiction, and even his facial features became a little distorted, as if he had to use a lot of strength to speak again, "You clearly said last time that the Liu family and Thunder Mountain Villa The situation is different, the people in Thunder Mountain Villa may be alive, but it is very difficult for the Liu family..."
"You actually understand." Ning Xiumao sighed, helped him take over his clenched fist, spread it out carefully in the palm of his hand, so as not to hurt himself if he squeezed too hard, "The conclusion last time was Based on the clues we had last time. Now, the information we know is different."
Qingtong subconsciously wanted to ask why, but he swallowed the question before it rushed out. It would be too ridiculous to ask such a question now.
As Ning Xiumao said, in fact, he has roughly thought about it, even if he still wants to ask why, he should save it until he faces the person who should ask.
"What are you doing?!" Qingtong just wanted to let go of his fist, when suddenly he felt his whole body lighten up, and he was resisted by Ning Xiumao, and threw him on his shoulder. Unable to break free, "How, how is it possible?"
The old man smiled complacently, "Let's go faster, Xiao Qingtong, otherwise you will be entangled here, and then you will miss all the good shows. Shhhhh, I know you want to ask why you ran away gone?"
"Stupid boy, how could you make friends with your father when you thought I was back then? I dare say that besides the Liu family, the person who knows the ghost step across the river the most in this world is your Uncle Ning. Be good, let's go!"
Qingtong panted heavily, and after realizing that she really couldn't break free, she suddenly calmed down and closed her eyes.
For no reason, he thought of Wudang Mountain, where he had struggled so much, asked himself how to kill the enemy in front of him, and had made up his mind so much, even if he could use any means to seduce him, he didn't care to do it as long as he could achieve his goal.
I even put those determinations into action, undressed in front of this man but was stopped, and I didn't know whether it was disappointment or relief at that moment.
How ridiculous those behaviors are now, now this man is stronger than he thought, but... probably, there is no need for him to take revenge, what should he live for, for the sake of being here now, continue to go on , To finally witness with your own eyes or with your own ears, the truth that he may not be able to bear?
In the empty courtyard, a low, hoarse and old voice sounded from the boy's mouth, "So it was only me all along."
Ning Xiumao didn't speak any more, Qingtong was held on his shoulders now, so he couldn't see his current expression, which was also an expression that was extremely contradictory, struggling and seemed extremely firm and extremely cold.
Such ruthlessness made him no longer look like the usual man with a playful smile, but really Yan Luosha who was full of evil spirits.He strode forward and saw Qixian and Wen Nianyuan standing in front of a corridor.
The surrounding scenery was a little familiar, he could remember the last time when Qi Xian was walking here, his finger was pricked by a thin wooden thorn on the porch pillar, and then he was shamelessly molested by Wen Nianyuan After a while - in Ning Xiumao's view, it was definitely a tease.
At this moment, Qixian was standing in front of the pillar, almost making people think that he stretched out his hand as if wanting to relive the old dream, and then... knocked on the pillar regularly, sometimes listening to it.
"Sure enough it's here." After a while, the man in white raised the corners of his mouth, stroked the pillar with his hand, and said casually, not without joking, "I was suspicious last time, such a clean and tidy courtyard, newly painted How come there are wooden thorns on the pillars of the porch. It turns out that the belly is empty."
Ning Xiumao strode forward and laughed, "You're lucky too, Qixian, so many pillars let you meet the problematic one? Or is it because you're really lucky to solve the case?"
Qi Xian had a half-smile and didn't look back, "Luck is also a kind of strength. What's more--most of the pavilions and pavilions here are probably faulty, otherwise, this Thunder Mountain Villa doesn't need to be built so big. I just , I just found the place that saves the most effort.”
While speaking, Wen Nianyuan had moved the colonnade with luck. As expected, the colonnade could turn, but after turning, nothing happened in the surrounding area, let alone any mechanism or secret passage opened.
Wen Nianyuan looked around, but found nothing.
"Tsk, it seems that your luck is mediocre. This is a fake mechanism, just to laugh at people like you who think you are smart." Ning Xiumao put Qingtong down, but refused to let go, laughing Qixian, while carefully looking for another way out.
Qi Xian frowned slightly, "Fake agency? You think so?" He quickly loosened his brows, "Wen Nianyuan, take me to the following places, Ye Leiting's bedroom and its surrounding rooms, Ye Jiuxiao's boudoir and its surrounding rooms, The Ye family owner and his wife..."
"Hey, let me say Qixian, this is the atrium, is it far away from those places?" Before Ning Xiumao could finish speaking, Wen Nianyuan had already taken Qixian with him like a gust of wind, leaving him in place She curled her lips helplessly, and had no choice but to pick up Qingtong and follow behind.
Ye Jiuxiao was next to the maid's room.
Qixian, Wen Nianyuan, Ning Xiumao, and Qingtong surrounded the dark hole and the steps going down, "Why is it here?" Ning Xiumao muttered.
"Because no one stipulates that the opening mechanism and the secret room must be built together." Qixian sighed softly, expressing regret for Ning Xiumao's failure this time.
"Let's go." He said softly, and when he was about to lift his foot, Wen Nianyuan stepped in front of him and walked down the long stairs silently and firmly.
When the darkness finally engulfed all four of them, within a few steps, they all heard some kind of sound of a mechanism opening.
"The exit is closed." Ning Xiumao said in a low voice at the back of the hall.
No one answered, and no one stopped, probably for everyone, this is not unexpected, the stairs are very long, there is no light, the most comfortable person is Qixian, anyway, for him now There is no difference between light and darkness.
I don't know how long I walked, and finally came to the end, the road changed from narrow to suddenly open, a lonely hall appeared in front of Wen Nianyuan and others, and in the center of the hall, there was a lonely chair, and a lonely table.
There is half a game of chess left on the table.
On the chair, sat a lonely person.
He stretched out his hand, took out a chess piece, put it on the chessboard with a slow and solemn "snap", and then said unhurriedly, "You guys are still here after all."
Then he got up, turned around, and looked at them quietly.
It was Ye Leiting.
