Chapter 239 (1/2)

Shen WuJie said to Bai Jun cautiously, ”let's go.”

Bai junzhuo looked at the dark door and was hesitating. Outside, there were shouts of killing and approaching footsteps. She no longer hesitated, immediately followed Shen WuJie into the secret room behind the bookshelf.

As soon as they got inside, Shen WuJie turned the mechanism on the right wall, and the bookshelf closed again. Then they hurried to the inside.

It's dark inside, and there's a little light in front. Shen WuJie then led Bai Jun to the bright place. The more the secret road went, the more crowded it was. Later, he even had to bend down to pass.

Bai junzhuo was so crowded that he asked Shen WuJie, ”WuJie, have you passed this secret road? Can we really get out? ”

”Don't worry, zisu and I were locked in our study to read before, and often sneaked out from here,” Shen WuJie said, pausing for a moment, and then said, ”but it didn't seem to be so crowded at that time.”

Bai Jun thought about it and asked him, ”how old were you then?”

”About ten years old.”

”No wonder.” Bai Jun said cautiously, ”so how many years have you not gone through this secret road?”

Shen WuJie replied: ”I haven't been here since I was ten years old.”

Bai junzhuo suddenly some breath is not smooth, I do not know is the psychological reason or this secret way is really too depressed. She was almost kneeling on the ground and could not help asking Shen WuJie, ”WuJie, you haven't been here for so long. Is it possible that the end of the secret road has been sealed?”

”No,” Shen WuJie said, ”isn't there light ahead?”

Bai junzhuo couldn't see the light in front of him. He opened his mouth and breathed. The air around him was getting thinner and thinner. It wasn't her illusion.

She stopped and said, ”no, I can't go inside any more. I can't breathe.”

The place is too narrow, Shen WuJie can't turn his head to look at her, can only say: ”are you ok? After a while, we should go ahead

Bai junzhuo looked at the light spot in front of her. She began to feel that the spot was shaking. She said: ”no, it may not be the exit. It may be just the shining crystal stone or the light from the cracks. In short, there is too little air here. I can't stand it if I go further.”

Shen WuJie listened to her voice more and more weak, worried: ”what should I do? Shall we go back? ”

Bai junzhuo didn't speak. A buzzing sound began to appear in her ears. She had already begun to have tinnitus.

Shen WuJie did not wait for her reply and said, ”well, let's go back. It's estimated that those people can't find us. We should go out and look for us in a short time. The guard of the nine princes' mansion is empty. We can take the opportunity to escape.”

Bai junhuo was out of breath and leaned against the wall. He said weakly, ”OK, I'll have a rest first, and then we'll go back.”

”Well.”

Bai junzhuo's ears were close to the wall, and the ”buzzing” sound became more concrete. She finally realized that it might not be tinnitus. She asked Shen WuJie, ”Wu Jie, can you hear any strange sounds?”

Shen WuJie listened attentively. He leaned his ear against the wall and nodded: ”it seems that there is something behind the wall.”

Bai junzhuo nodded. She felt that the sound was like the roar of modern machines, but it was ancient times. It was obviously impossible to have machines. Then he guessed whether it was any animal, snake, insect, rat, ant and so on.

”It's possible to break through the wall and we can go out directly,” Shen WuJie said, ”Xiaobai, get out of the way.”

”No, what if there's a man eating animal in the back?”

”Don't you have the poison to defend yourself?” Shen WuJie asked her.

Bai junhuo felt the small bag on his body. The poison powder in it was enough to kill a nest of mice.

”That will do.” Shen WuJie said to go, leaving Baijun burning a distance, right palm Yun Li hit the wall, the wall had a slight tremor, but did not crack. He chopped several palms one after another, and finally heard the sound of ”clack clack clack” stone cracking. They saw the light in front of them.

From the crack to the outside, it seems to be an open area, and not far away, there is a stone step down. But Shen WuJie hit the wrong side of the road and had to jump to the other side of the steps.

”Xiaobai, I don't know where it is outside, but it seems safe. Let's go out first.” Then he jumped from the hole to the other side of the steps, and then stretched out his hand to catch Bai Jun Zhuo.

Bai junzhuo looked at the bottom. He was quite tall, so he was afraid. Seeing her hesitation, Shen WuJie said, ”just close your eyes and jump over. I will never let you have anything to do.”

Bai junzhuo looks at him, nods his head, closes his eyes, and jumps hard. Shen WuJie reaches out to help her.

After the two people stabilized, Shen WuJie looked down and said, ”go on.”

Bai junzhuo nodded and followed Shen WuJie down the steps.

It's not outside. There's no sky overhead. It's like a curved roof. Bai junzhuo secretly praised that this architectural technology was very tall in ancient times.Soon I got to the ground and looked at the surrounding walls carefully. Most of the things used for lighting were crystal stones, and there were a few long-term lights. There are also many daily necessities, food and drink, clothes, quilts, beds and everything in a row, and it smells like sweat.

Observing this, Bai Jun Zhuo asked, ”Wu Jie, have you been to this place before?”
