Chapter 113 Meeting Ni Ya Again
"But this lock..." Zhuying was a little embarrassed.
"Get out of the way." Bai Sui'an said.
Zhuying took a few steps back and saw Bai Sui'an draw out his sword. He swung it a few times neatly and split the wooden board in half.
Inside was a tunnel that Zhuying was familiar with, bottomless.
"Very decisive." Zhuying gave Bai Sui'an a thumbs up.
He also had a sword and was thinking about how to open the lock, but he didn't think about being able to split the wooden board directly.
Bai Sui'an's face turned pale, and he nodded and said, "Go down."
She let Zhuying walk in front so that she wouldn't notice anything unusual about her.
When Zhuying came here just now, he walked along the wall by feeling his way. There were no traps along the way. Now it was daylight outside, and the road he just entered was not dark.
He took a step, and Bai Sui'an followed, their movements very light.
When you get to the back, you can't see your hand in front of you.
Just as Zhuying said, it was really smelly down there. The two of them covered their faces and smelled a pungent odor before they even reached the bottom, as if there were hundreds of rotting rats trapped inside.
Zhuying couldn't help but dry heave. Bai Sui was calmer, so he slowed down his breathing and didn't react much.
The narrow wall suddenly widened and the candlelight stopped.
It means that this path has been completed.
There was still pitch darkness ahead. Bai Sui'an took out a candle from the space and lit it with a candlestick. The way forward finally became clear.
With the light, the two realized that there was a torch nearby.
The door was locked from the outside, and the two men guessed that there were no guards here, so they lit torches along the way.
After walking along another small path, we came to a three-way fork in the road. The stench affected our sense of smell and it was very quiet everywhere. We could only see that the two roads on the left and right were newer than the one in the middle, probably because they were not dug as long ago as the one in the middle.
Just go one by one. Bai Sui'an kicked a small stone at the intersection on the left and then walked in.
The road was not very deep and it didn't take long to reach the bottom. The stench inside was exactly the same as the smell Bai Sui'an had known before - the smell of a rotting corpse.
Zhuying had been staying by Ye Lingche's side for so many years, and had never smelled such a strong smell before. She lifted the covering and vomited a lot of water.
Bai Sui'an took out a bottle like a magic trick, which contained the spiritual spring water she had prepared in advance.
Hand the bottle to Zhuying, along with a leaf.
"Give me back the bottle after you finish drinking it. Smell this grass, it will make you feel better. Just stand here and I'll go in and take a look."
Those are the leaves of a kind of herb grown in the medicinal field. They smell like orange peels. If you smell them closer, the stench will be alleviated.
Zhuying trusted Bai Sui'an. He nodded, drank the spiritual spring water, and then put the leaf in front of his nose to smell it.
His eyes fell on Bai Sui'an, ready to draw his sword and go in to protect her at any time.
There is a wall inside for storing medicinal herbs, with countless wooden boxes inside, and labels on the outside.
Bai Sui'an took a quick look and put all the precious and rare medicinal herbs into the space one by one. The environment was dim, and the candlelight only saw Bai Sui'an opening the boxes one by one to check, and did not see anything disappear.
There was a stack of booklets on the table. I flipped through a few pages and found that they were all about the effects of various herbs mixed together, most of which were poisonous.
There's not even any record of an antidote.
This pile of things was too conspicuous, so Bai Sui'an did not take it away immediately. Instead, he went to look for the source of the smell and finally found a large wooden barrel that was two people tall in the corner of the room.
A lot of black water leaked out of the cracks, making the ground wet and a little sticky to shoes.
There was a ladder next to it. Bai Sui'an walked up and lifted the lid. A foul smell came towards him, making his eyes hurt.
Not daring to look closely, Bai Sui'an closed the lid.
Even though she had seen many rotting corpses, she was still choked by the fumes. She hurried out and couldn't help retching.
Zhuying returned the bottle to Bai Sui'an and said, "I couldn't help but drink it all. How about you?"
Bai Sui'an waved his hand: "It's okay, let's go first, there are only some animal corpses inside."
Zhuying nodded and left quickly.
Bai Sui'an turned around and put the stack of medicine formulas into his space before following.
After smelling it for so long, their noses were numb when they walked back to the fork in the road, and they couldn't tell what the specific smell was.
The only roads left were the middle and the one on the right. I wanted to take the middle road, but after walking two steps I found that it led downhill.
"The path in the middle goes down, and the one on the right is a straight road. How about we finish looking at this floor before going down?" Bai Sui'an asked.
Zhuying wanted to finish this quickly, so he said, "The ones hidden deep down are on the lower levels. Why don't we go search the very bottom. If we find nothing, we can come up here and look for it. It will be easier to get out then."
"it is good."
The two decided to take the middle path.
The road is very steep and quite long, and it must be far from the ground.
This road should lead to the dungeon connected to the tower that Li Xi mentioned, right?
After lighting all the torches along the way and walking for a long time, we finally saw a fire at the exit.
Zhuying stopped Bai Sui'an.
There was no fire along the way, which meant no one came down.
But there is a fire here, does it mean that there is someone here?
Before the two could discuss, a figure approached the exit and stood at the entrance of the cave.
"Since the distinguished guest is here, don't even think about leaving."
Bai Sui'an recognized the man.
You can recognize it just by the iron ring on its hand without having to listen to the sound.
"Ni Ya." Bai Sui'an said.
Zhuying drew his sword and stood in front of Bai Sui'an.
Ni Ya recognized Bai Sui'an from his voice as the man who tied her up that night.
Zhuying's attire remained unchanged, and she recognized Zhuying as the arsonist.
She snorted coldly and said with a smile: "Okay, you are still alive after being poisoned by our poison. You have made me lose face. This time I will make sure you die!"
Taking a stance, Ni Ya gathered his true energy in his left hand and rushed towards the two men.
Zhuying raised his sword to greet him, but Bai Sui'an behind him suddenly pulled him over.
"Don't force it."
After she finished speaking, Bai Sui'an flashed in front of the candlelight. The cave entrance was not high, so she couldn't move freely.
Fortunately, Ni Ya was very strong and difficult to move. Bai Sui'an turned sideways and raised his elbow, hitting the iron ring, deflecting Ni Ya's attack route. He then nimbly dodged behind her and ran out of the exit.
Outside were cages separated by countless iron bars, with many people imprisoned inside. There was a pungent smell of excrement in the air.
Afraid that Ni Ya would hit Zhu Ying first in the alley, Bai Sui'an started to provoke, "That's all you can do. You claim to be the best master, but aren't you still so pathetic in front of me?"
"I can't kill you!"
The effect of his verbal attack was obvious. Ni Ya was really angry and turned around to chase after him, like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, wanting to tear Bai Sui'an into pieces.
Bai Sui'an was naturally not someone she could easily control, so she took out the whip, intending to use softness to overcome hardness like last time.
Zhuying chased after him with a sword in hand, and the two of them were fighting till they were inseparable.
Ni Ya's attack was very weak. She always used her left hand to punch, supplemented by her right hand, but the power of her right hand was not as strong as that of her left hand. Bai Sui'an adjusted the rhythm of his attack and fought back and forth with her.
Seeing Zhuying about to join in, Bai Sui'an took the time to shout, "Don't worry about me, go in and find someone."
