Wind and Rain - Chapter 33

Chu Feiyang and Qinglang followed Cheng Xuexiang and walked all the way to a dry well in the backyard of Changqingmen. The wellhead was covered with a boulder, and it didn’t look out of place.

“This is what Alliance Leader Cheng said?!” Qinglang looked around, “It doesn’t look any different.”

Cheng Xuexiang smiled, bent over to lift the boulder, pushed it aside, pointed to the well, and said, “There is a cave at the bottom of the well, only when Brother Chu and Brother Qing are ready.”

“What are you looking for down the well when you have nothing to do?” Qinglang looked down with his probe and said.

Cheng Xuexiang said: “This is wrong. I originally just walked around to have a look. When I got here, I saw a few butterflies burrowing out of this big crack. How can a dry well attract butterflies, I feel weird, I just wanted to go down the well to explore, but I didn’t expect to find something strange. I’ll go down first, Brother Chu Qing, be careful with your feet, you will know after you see it.”

After Cheng Xuexiang finished speaking, he jumped down to the bottom of the well, and Chu Feiyang and Qinglang followed. The well was not big. I thought that the three of them would be very crowded after coming down. I didn’t expect the two to reach the bottom of the well, but Cheng Xuexiang was nowhere to be seen.

Underfoot is soft and slippery mud, which is very uncomfortable to step on. Chu Feiyang and Qinglang looked around and could only see the slippery well wall covered with moss, but they didn’t know what mechanism Cheng Xuexiang had opened, and they could disappear out of thin air.

“Brother Chu, Brother Qing, here.” Cheng Xuexiang’s voice suddenly sounded overhead. As soon as the two looked up, they saw Cheng Xuexiang’s face appearing at a height from the bottom of the well. A square hole was opened there, just in time. One person can pass through.

Chu Feiyang and Qinglang went up one after another and entered the cave.

“This hole is very secret. When I came down just now, a butterfly flew out from here, and then I found out that there is still a mechanism on the wall of the well.” Cheng Xuexiang said as he led the two of them to the depths of the hole.

There was no sunlight at the bottom of the well, and the cave was even darker, but a small hole was cut in the wall with a torch on it.

Chu Feiyang took out the fire book and lit a torch and held it in his hand. Qinglang simply lit all the torches along the road, and the cave instantly brightened, dispelling the original gloom a little.

The three walked along the narrow walkway that was one person high for a while before entering an open space. Chu Feiyang moved the torch forward, and his face instantly became solemn.

I saw that in the underground cave half the size of the valley, there were actually dense piles of air-dried corpses. At a glance, it was like being watched by dozens of pairs of empty eyes, which made people feel cold.

These corpses are complete with all limbs, and no obvious injuries can be seen. Obviously, they did not die in the conflicts between the rivers and lakes, and most of them still maintain their postures before they were alive. Most of them just sat against the wall and looked up at the top of the cave. Although they couldn’t see what they looked like in their lifetimes, this posture showed a sadness of resignation.

In addition, the most bizarre thing is the lush flowers and plants growing under the feet. In this dark cave where there is no daylight, these green grass and flowers grow, reflecting strange bright colors under the light of the fire.

A few butterflies were still flying among the flowers, and were alerted by the three of them, and together they flapped their wings and flew out of the cave.

“This grass—” Qinglang remembered the scene when he was holding the injured Qinying, “These are Qinying’s clansmen?!”

Cheng Xuexiang nodded: “Brother Qing also thought of it?! Qin Ying’s clan has a close relationship with Wuji Villa, so many people died here, it seems that their blood is the same as Qin Ying’s, which is a little strange and unpredictable. Efficacy. This time we found Changqingmen, but we found the right one.”

When the two of them were talking, Chu Feiyang walked over to a corpse and squatted down, holding a torch to examine it carefully.

Qinglang walked over and said, “Brother Chu, did you find something?!”

Chu Feiyang pointed to the damp cave wall: “There seem to be words here.”

“Oh?! It would be of great benefit to us if we could know more about it. What was written on it?!” Cheng Xuexiang just looked at it casually when he came, but he didn’t find any words engraved on the wall, so he approached and asked.

“…I don’t know.” Chu Feiyang said.

The three took turns to observe carefully, but in the end, no one recognized the writing on the wall. It is very different from the text used in the Central Plains, and it is impossible to even guess.

Qinglang took out a white towel from his arms, pressed it against the wall, and rubbed the handwriting down.

“Forget it, the three of us will look at it again for nothing, take it back and talk about it.” Qinglang folded the handkerchief with the handwriting and stuffed it back into his sleeve.

The three of them looked around the hole carefully and found nothing of value, so they returned to the bottom of the well and jumped back to the ground from the bottom of the well.

Cheng Xuexiang moved the stone back to the well, and the three of them wiped away the traces around them and left the place quickly.

Chu Feiyang and several people walked to the place where there were people coming and going in the house, then they calmed down together and walked back slowly. Qinglang took out the handkerchief again and looked at it in the sun. Those who didn’t know it still didn’t know it.

“This is probably the language used by Qinying and his clan.” Chu Feiyang said, “Qinying’s clan is isolated from the world. Except for the people in their clan, I’m afraid no one can recognize these words.”

“It’s a pity that this clue is missing.” Cheng Xuexiang sighed, “Although what I saw at the bottom of the well today is shocking, there are only a lot of doubts so far. The one I can’t figure out the most is Qin Ying’s clansmen. Their origins are a mystery. It seems that he is willing to be enslaved by Wuji Villa, and even life and death are under the control of others, which is really unreasonable.”

“Brother Cheng is right, but it’s not nothing today.” Chu Feiyang said, “It doesn’t seem to be an accident that the Changqing Sect is going to the Wuji Villa to celebrate his birthday. The Sect Master of the Changqing Sect must know something, but he hides it from Yan Feixiang. Ning Zi and these juniors. Shu Ying and Gao Fang should also be informed about this matter, and let them be careful to guard against it.”

The three of them said as they walked, all the way to the guest room where they were staying, bypassing a rockery, and there was a small artificially excavated lake in front of it.

On the edge of the gazebo, under the old tree.

The maid looked at the figure in the gazebo.

“Sure enough, he is a suave and handsome young man.” The maid snickered and looked at He Yidao, “Miss can’t even see the deputy sect master and Young Master Xiang, I thought that Miss would not be tempted for a lifetime. It turns out that the lady’s eyes are too high.”

“What nonsense are you talking about, it’s just because he saved my life, I, I am grateful…” He Yi blushed and whispered.

The maid pushed her and said with a smile, “Since the young lady is grateful, there is no reason to hide after seeing the benefactor, so why don’t you hurry up and thank the benefactor.”

He Yi was pushed by her and stepped out of the tree, and there was nothing to block in front of him. Looking at the back in the pavilion, with a maid behind her, she gathered up her courage, straightened her hair and clothes, and walked towards the pavilion.
