Chapter 21 second quarter

It was very cold at night, Tang Xiaoxie tightened the quilt under her body, and still felt the coolness of the bamboo mat creeping up one by one.Xue Huadan asked her if she would like to sleep with her to be warmer.Xiao Xie said no, but now she regretted it.She put on her clothes and planned to sneak into Hua Dan's house. The lights in the front nunnery were turned off.In the second half of the night, the starlight came in from the window lattice, and the brick floor seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.Xiao Xie could even hear the sound of frost melting on the bottom of her feet.She shuddered, and suddenly heard Gu Lu coming from outside the door.

Startled, Xiao Xie retreated to the window again and again, and put his hand on the dagger at his waist.The night outside the window was like water, and a few canna plants glowed with a faint light, revealing an unusual coldness.She pondered for a moment, jumped out of the window, and went straight to the flowers.Hearing a few sounds, a black shadow rushed out, brushing her cheeks furryly. "So it's the old crow." Xiao Xie secretly laughed. Huge black mountains surrounded this small Guiyun Valley, as if countless eyes were staring at it.Tang Xiaoxie was a little at a loss.She stood blankly by the edge of the flowerbed, silently counting her own breath, after a while, she heard a sigh from an unknown depth, long, distant, vaguely absent.

Xiao Xie collected herself, and the sigh drifted away again.When she mentioned the lightness kung fu, she flitted across the flowers like a swallow and disappeared into the night. Behind him, the lights in the nunnery seemed to flicker. Xue Huadan's canna is even denser than Tang Xiaoxie imagined.In the nunnery, there are only three or five trees, but in fact there is a large dense clump behind it.When Xiao Xie was five years old, he followed his adoptive father Shen Xuan to learn the world's number one light kung fu "Treading on Shasha".Her toes gently touched the soft soil under the flowers, and she slid like a water snake, trying not to touch the flowers and leaves of the canna.

After a while, she felt a slippery object under her feet, and she just jumped half a foot before the object slid away.In the dark, only faintly visible, it seems to be a stone.Xiao Xie turned over, jumped to the top of the courtyard wall, squeezed the dagger tightly, and looked around vigilantly. Below, the scarlet canna quietly blooms in the night. After waiting for a while, I still didn't see anything.Xiao Xie was a little disappointed.She closed her eyes and counted silently, and finally felt a gust of cool wind blowing from a hidden corner outside the courtyard wall. It was an old pine, hundreds of years old, and the tree hole was empty.Xiao Xie followed the hole and touched it in.The hole really leads to the ground.It was pitch black at the beginning, and the feet were either muddy gravel or moss and vines. Xiao Xie carefully took out a night pearl from his bosom, and then tapped a little light to illuminate the path.After about six or seven feet away, I suddenly stepped on a stone slab.The four walls are also clearly excavated by manpower.

Xiao Xie was overjoyed, holding the Ye Mingzhu and walking away. At the end of the tunnel, the door of the secret room is half closed.A strange faint smell emanates from the crack of the door, sweet and rotten, like incense that lures dreams.Xiao Xie's heart trembled, and he immediately held his breath.Even so, I still felt dizzy.I don't know if I was poisoned, or I was too nervous. On the table, the oil lamp has been burned out, and the wick has turned into a charred orchid, which will not fall.Xiao Xie looked up, wanting to see if there was any mechanism on the roof.If she remembers the location correctly, this location is right under Xue Huadan's nunnery!However, the light was too dim to see anything clearly.

A thin young man was lying on his stomach under the lamp, motionless, as if he was fast asleep. With the bright blue light of the pearl, Xiao Xie saw the boy's face, and couldn't help being shocked. Said to be a young man, maybe twenty-five or six years old.Although his clothes are ragged, his face is full of dust, his handsome face and noble bearing make him look like an ordinary person. "Jiang..." Xiao Xie called out in a low voice.The man didn't respond at all. His fingertips were broken, and the small table was covered with faint bloodstains. After a long time, it turned purple-brown, and the same words were spelled one by one: "Pan, Pan, Pan... "

When Tang Xiaoxie came back, he looked back at Canna, as calm as a virgin.In the depths of the sky, a touch of the Milky Way is like a veil, leaving the dust.There was still no sound in the nunnery, but something shook her. It was a plain screen in front of the window facing the flowers. Xiao Xie rubbed his eyes, and saw correctly.But since she entered this small Guanyu, she has never seen this thing.when is it... The screen is very small, with four leaves, very ordinary, with an ebony frame, pasted with white paper.Xiao Xie moved Mingzhu closer, but still couldn't see what was painted on the screen.She stretched out her fingers to touch it, and the paper was very rough, like bark.

It was miserable white, empty, and filled with an indescribable chill. Going around the paper screen, I found the sad swordsman on the wall, still staring coldly.
