Concubine Chongxi: Binding the Medicine Jar to the Master

Chapter 250 The Door of Life and Death under the Jade Shop
At the end of Maoshi the next day, Baili Jiuge and Mo Li took a carriage to Li's Jade Shop in Xiqi City.

What the two of them didn't expect was that the store door was closed, and Li Yuheng left a notice saying that he was going to Jiuyi Mountain to dig jade, and Jiuyi Mountain is in the land of Hunan and Chu, and it is a long way from Xiqi, Mo Li thought , Li Yuheng will definitely not be able to come back in a short time.

It happened that Brother Shi from the nearby bonsai shop saw someone coming, poked his head out, and saw the snow satin carriage painted with epiphyllum at a glance.

In Xiqi, there will only be one person marked by Meticulous Epiphyllum.

Big Brother Shi rushed over and knelt down to salute, "I pay homage to His Royal Highness and Concubine Shi Zi."

Baili Jiuge was taken aback.Where did this guy come from?
She looked at Mo Li, he smiled warmly, and helped the man up, "Don't do this big gift, I'm here to visit Miss Li, unfortunately Miss Li is out, presumably during this time, the jade shop is under the care of your Excellency Bar."

"It's the little one. What's the matter, His Royal Highness? If the little one can help, maybe he can do it for shopkeeper Li."

Mo Li smiled slightly and took out the jade Buddha pendant, "I would like to ask Miss Li to dispose of this pendant."

Brother Shi said: "Then it's better to leave this pendant on Shopkeeper Li's desk and leave a letter for her. Maybe she will come back in ten days and a half months. Jiuyi Mountain is not too far away. Little Now go get the key and open the door for His Royal Highness."

"Thank you sir."

Watching that Brother Shi hurried back to the house to get the key, Baili Jiuge laughed happily: "Yuheng even gave the key to the neighbor, they have such a good relationship."

Mo Li smiled without saying a word, and when Big Brother Shi took out the key and opened the door, he took Baili Jiuge in his arms, carefully crossed the threshold, and entered the jade shop.

According to what Big Brother Shi said, Mo Li wrote the letter and put it on Li Yuheng's desk together with the jade pendant.

Pulling back the crane cloak, he stood up slowly, and was about to leave, but at this moment, he heard unusual noises from outside, like a dozen people moving around on the cornice.

As soon as Baili Jiuge and Mo Li heard it, they knew that a group of bandits were coming again!
"Mo Li, shall we fight or hide?"

"Hide first." Mo Li took Baili Jiuge's hand, and the three of them retreated to the back.

With a light jump, he brought Brother Shi up to the roof.The three of them bent down, and they happened to be able to see everything in the hall from the open window.

Sure enough, another group of bonus hunters came, probably looking for the jade sword, and searched roughly.Many of the crisp jade pendants fell to the ground and were smashed, and the sound made Baili Jiuge feel extremely distressed.

Soon, a voice came from the room: "There is a trap! Look, there is a secret door on the wall, and there is a secret passage! The jade sword must be hidden in the secret passage!"

organ?Secret door?Secret passages?

Baili Jiuge immediately understood that this group of bonus hunters had found the secret passage that she and Mo Li strayed into that day!

Is there really a jade sword in the secret path?Baili Jiuge recalled the situation that day. She and Mo Li walked all the way to the basement, but they didn't see any storage utensils, except...the crystal coffin!

"Mo Li, Yu Heng said that her father's coffin is surrounded by traps."

"Hmm..." Mo Li responded in a low voice, as soon as the details of the jade room and the exquisite crystal coffin appeared in his mind, the almost bizarre emotions from yesterday surged in his heart again.

Lowering his eyes, he restrained his mind and said, "I'm afraid it's more ominous than good."

Almost in response to Mo Li's words, there was a shrill scream.Even in the basement, it was still so heart-piercing, which moved Baili Jiuge.

She bit her lip, and it was conceivable that those people must have been brutally tortured and killed by the institutions near the crystal coffin.

Brother Shi next to him scolded: "You deserve it, let you mess into Shopkeeper Li's basement and disturb his father's peace, go to the place on the [-]th floor to make amends!"

Baili Jiuge thought for a while, and asked: "Since those bandits are wiped out, shouldn't their bodies be left in the basement? They have to be cleaned up."

"This bag is on the little one, and the little one has helped shopkeeper Li do this a lot!"

Brother Shi proudly patted his chest, felt something was wrong as soon as he finished speaking, and immediately begged: "Your Highness, this, this is not disobedience to the king's law, it is really something that those people cannot guard against, there is nothing they can do about it!"

"It's okay, I don't want to pursue it." The minutiae, let it go, those bonus hunters and their employers are just greedy for profit and unhappy with retribution.

The wind rustled, and the heart-piercing scream just now was like a fleeting nightmare.At this moment, there is nothing but peace.

Mo Li looked at the flaming pomegranate tree in the courtyard, hugged Baili Jiuge, took Brother Shi with the other hand, and landed steadily.

After Brother Shi landed, he hurried to the secret road to clean up the body. Mo Li took Baili Jiuge's hand and walked back slowly towards the main hall, preparing to leave the jade shop.

However, at this moment...

There was a slight "click" sound, as if it came from the ground.

Baili Jiuge stopped walking and looked at Brother Shi.Brother Shi was also stunned, looking down at his feet.

He seems to have stepped on something strange...

It happened so suddenly, a hole suddenly opened under Baili Jiuge's feet.She screamed and fell down, at this moment she stretched her arms excitedly to catch Mo Li, but the two had already let go, and Baili Jiuge was instantly shrouded in darkness.

Who would have thought that Big Brother Shi accidentally stepped on the mechanism, causing Baili Jiuge to fall into the hole, and the hole closed the door the moment it swallowed her!
"Ink!"

She shouted desperately, but couldn't stop her body from falling.The surroundings were all black, she couldn't see anything, and the strong smell of the soil made her suffocate.

Then, the body fell on the soft object.Baili Jiuge grabbed it like a cloth cushion.But the angle of inclination of the cloth cushion was too small, and Baili Jiuge rolled down the cushion uncontrollably.

"Nine songs! Nine songs!"

In the dark, she heard Mo Li calling her, and even heard him pounding on the cave door.He beat so hard, that desperate action made her palpitate.

But all of this is rapidly moving away, and all the voices are cruelly flying away in the darkness... No matter how much she shouts, he shouts, but the distance is getting farther and farther away, and it is only when there is no more sound that one realizes that it is a disaster Descending from the sky, everything seems to be separated from yin and yang!
"Mo Li..."

Baili Jiuge's call gradually became hoarse, and the surprise and anxiety in his heart had turned into fear.

She was dizzy, and her body was still rolling on the mat, as if she had rolled down a series of strange stairs. She didn't know when it was the end, let alone what was waiting for her at the end.

"Mo Li, Mo Li..."

He must still be in the yard, frantically trying to destroy the cave door and come in to find her.How broken and anxious would he be at this moment?He is not in good health, so he can't be so emotional!

Suddenly dizzy, Baili Jiuge's body finally stopped, she lay on her back on the cloth cushion, her hands were still in the posture of protecting her lower abdomen.

Just now when he rolled all the way, his body was already covered with hot and cold sweat.Baili Jiuge took a deep breath, warming his abdomen with internal force...

Fortunately, her baby is all right!

Unable to rest more, because of the current situation, some danger may suddenly arise, Baili Jiuge stood up firmly and looked around.

This is a secret room, it should be no more than three feet from the ground, the space is not big, and some torches were lit.The dim light cast her shadow on the wall, she moved slightly, and the shadow was stretched to be as scary as a ghost.

Baili Jiuge stared, and could vaguely see that there was a passage ahead.And the direction she came from just now... She looked at it, it was dark, and she knew in her heart that the cloth cushion was extending from the entrance of the cave.

If you go back the same way, the space is too narrow, and there is no way to use lightness kung fu to go back.Moreover, that cave... even Mo Li couldn't open it, so how could she open it?
Since she couldn't retreat, she could only move forward, and she believed that there would be a way out.

Taking a deep breath, Baili Jiuge got off the cloth cushion and walked towards the passage ahead.

Under the sleeve, three feathers were picked up in the left hand, and the short knife was clenched tightly in the right hand.She must show a state of preparation to ensure that she can respond to various crises in the first place.

In order to protect herself and her baby, she has to go all the way, just like she did in the Tower of Nine Deaths, and survive from adversity!

wait, wait...

A strange thought made Baili Jiuge gasp.

Tower of Nine Deaths?

She turned her head subconsciously, looking at the weird cloth cushion behind her.

She remembers the experience in the Tower of Nine Deaths deeply, and she will never forget that Han Chan saved her life.It was Han Chan who turned on the mechanism when the Tower of Nine Deaths collapsed, and a cloth mat was born at the bottom of the tower to catch them.

Cloth cushions, cloth cushions...

Isn't this kind of approach very similar?

The heart was beating so hard that Baili Jiuge only felt dry mouth.

How could there be so many unreasonable institutions in Yuheng's family?Before, she felt that Yuheng was not as simple as a merchant, but she was afraid that Yuheng's hidden side would shock her incomparably.

Baili Jiuge took a deep breath, clenched the things in his hands with his two little hands, sweating coldly.

She stared, and walked resolutely towards the depths.

Walking in this dark long road, the scattered torches on the wall are like malicious eyes. The flames are on and off, dancing with faint blue light, which is extremely gloomy.

Baili Jiuge remained focused, listening carefully to any changes around her, but she was always calm, with only her voice.

After turning several corners, Baili Jiuge finally saw an unusual sight.

What appeared in front of her was a fork in the road, and there were two roads on the left and right in front of her. The contrast between the two entrances made Baili Jiuge startled.

At the entrance on the left, two red lanterns are hung, and the red candles inside are burning fiercely. More than a dozen red lines block the entrance from bottom to top. The word "Shengmen" is written on the cinnabar.

As for the entrance on the right...the phosphorescent blue lanterns, there are actually two dark green ghost-skin lanterns hanging, with blue flames burning inside.The same entrance was also blocked by more than a dozen blue lines, and on the top of the entrance was written the word "Death Gate" in dark blue.

What the hell is this place?
