Chapter 593

"Qiuqiu hasn't recovered yet. I understand if you want to hide it from her for the time being, but you can't lie to me."

After hesitating for a moment, Li Qing nodded very seriously: "I also found the clue a few days ago. Qiuqiu was attacked this time by Lin Sheng."

"What!" Ning manxuan stared in disbelief, "Lin Sheng? Isn't he Qiuqiu's grandfather?"

Li Qing couldn't help laughing bitterly: "yes, the power struggle of big families is really incredible sometimes."

"Then this time..."

"Solve the trouble." Li Qing said, "Lin Sheng and I reached an agreement to let Qiuqiu leave the Lin family. Although the process was a little tortuous, the ultimate goal was achieved."

"That's why you have to hide it from Qiuqiu. I see." Ning manxuan nodded gently. "You're right. Qiuqiu's injury hasn't healed yet. Please tell her later."

Ning manxuan didn't mention it any more. She walked along the sidewalk side by side with Li Qing. They talked very little along the way. It seemed that they deliberately didn't touch something. Finally, she bought some snacks at the roadside Hotel and took them back to the ward.

Lin Qiuqiu has a good appetite. She can eat and drink these days. Ning manxuan joked that when she recovers, she will become a pig.

After dinner, Ning manxuan went back to her room to rest. Li Qing talked with Lin Qiuqiu for a while and coaxed her to sleep.

"Does the wound still hurt?" Li Qingrou asked.

"It hurts, and it's a little itchy." Lin Qiuqiu pursed her ruddy little mouth and said softly.

Li Qing smiled and leaned forward: "let me see?"

Lin Qiuqiu blushed: "you really don't have a face."

"Well, let me see your wound. Why are you shameless?"

"You just want to see, just want to see..." Lin Qiuqiu covered her face with a quilt and was too ashamed to speak.

With such a woman who is sometimes sexy, charming and charming for the rest of her life, Li Qing really doesn't know that she has cultivated her nature for several generations.

"Old husband and wife, what are you afraid of? Let me see." Li Qing said, reaching out to unbutton Lin Qiuqiu's sick suit.

"Come on, man Xuan is still in the room." Lin Qiuqiu knocked Li Qing's restless hand off and turned his eyes at him.

Hearing that Lin Qiuqiu mentioned Ning manxuan, Li Qinggang's joking mind suddenly became bleak and sighed softly. Lin Qiuqiu naturally noticed the change of Li Qing and whispered, "Li Qing, in fact, I feel very sorry for man Xuan."

"Qiuqiu, you can't get everything in your life. In order not to hurt others more, I've learned how to choose." Li Qing smiled and helped Lin Qiuqiu tuck in the quilt. "It's very late. You're not well now. Go to bed early."

Having been sleeping with Lin Qiuqiu, Li Qingcai quietly left the bed, wrapped a blanket and slept on the sofa next to him all night.

The next morning, when Li Qing was having breakfast with Lin Qiuqiu and Ning manxuan, Xie Yuyan called. Obviously, some progress has been made on the metal box yesterday.

Li Qing hurried to eat something, picked up his coat, went out of the door and went straight to Xie's house. When he arrived, Qi Yiping had been waiting there early.

With a chill, Li Qing entered the room. She pulled over her chair and sat closer to the stove. While baking, she asked, "what did you find?"

Xie Yuyan saw that he was cold, so he stuffed the warm stove in his hand into his arms, then leaned back and said coldly, "I had people check the liquid in the box yesterday. It is really acid."

Qi Yiping said with a grin: "what's the meaning of that stinky smell?"

"It's a corpse." Xie Yuyan said faintly.

Both Li Qing and Qi Yiping were stiff, slightly opened their mouths and stared at Xie Yuyan in disbelief: "what!"

"Corpse." Xie YuYan's voice is still not urgent or slow, "I don't know whether it's human or beast for the time being. However, I prefer the former. After all, it's unreasonable to make such a big noise if it's the corpse of a beast."

Li Qing breathed, only feeling as if it was cold out of thin air. He turned and looked out of the window. The small pool outside had been covered with floating ice, and the colorful Koi could be seen swimming below.

"You mean those bodies were melted in acid and then sealed with cast copper?" Li Qing's voice was dry and even slightly changed his tone.

"Not bad." Xie Yuyan nodded gently, "not only that, but also found some other things in those liquids."

While talking, Xie Yuyan took out a piece of printing paper from his robe pocket and handed it to Li Qing.

Li Qing was about to reach out to pick it up, but Qi Yiping grabbed it first, narrowed his eyes, looked up and looked blankly: "what's all this fun? Why can't I understand?"

"I don't know what you're robbing." Xie Yuyan stared at Qi Yiping impatiently. "This is the composition table of that liquid. There are many ingredients in it, all from medicinal materials, and even cinnabar, ointment, mercury and so on."

"Medicinal materials?" Li Qing was a little confused. "What does this mean? Can this thing cure diseases?"

The jade hand held his chin, and Xie Yuyan pondered for a long time before he whispered, "the casting time of these bronzes is at least two thousand years ago. I think it's more like an ancient magic or sacrifice."

Qi Yiping suddenly stood up: "isn't this bullshit? What does the heresy thousands of years ago have to do with today? The Chen family will build a secret room to hide it?"

"Uncle Qi, don't be so surprised. Sit down honestly and let's talk well." Li Qing frowned. Qi Yiping is really worthy of his military background. Whatever he does is hot and hot, as if he wants to swallow a fat man.

"I just don't understand. What's the point of doing these things?" Qi Yiping sat down and put his arm on his thigh for a breath. "In my opinion, we'll seal the secret room directly. As for what it's used for and what it's used for, we don't care."

Xiumei picked slightly. Xie Yuyan turned his head and looked at Qi Yiping: "are you afraid?"

"This thing..." Qi Yiping shouted, "evil."

Li Qing reached out and took the printing paper. He looked carefully and nodded gently: "yes, the sulfur, cinnabar and mercury in it were used for alchemy in ancient times. It's really a cult bred by superstition."

He reached out and rubbed his temples gently. Xie Yuyan frowned gently: "no matter what it is for, it happened thousands of years ago. What does it have to do with people now? I mainly can't understand what the purpose of Chen Jianong's doing these things is."

Then Xie Yuyan looked up again and said to Qi Yiping, "I'll ask you to send someone down again to check the situation of the secret room. What's the news?"

"I'm obsessed. Last night, I ordered someone to do it and found two young people specializing in architectural structure. Their teachers were well-known scholars in the industry. I wanted to get the old guy into the water, but I was too old to send the young one." Qi Yiping said, taking out a drawing from his arms and handing it to Xie Yuyan.

After receiving the drawing, Xie Yuyan threw it directly onto the table on one side without looking at it, and then asked, "what's the situation?"

"After going down, the young people came back and said that there should have been no water in the secret room." Qi Yiping suddenly looked a little strange when he said this.

Li Qing was speechless: "isn't this nonsense? It's normal to pour water into the secret room after I blew it open."

"That's not what I meant." Qi Yiping waved his hand. "I invited those people to say that there was no water in the original intention of building the secret room. But after it was repaired, water poured in. In fact, there was accumulated water in the secret room before you blew it open."

Reaching out and scratching his head, Li Qing glanced at Xie Yuyan: "am I stupid? Do you understand?"

"I don't understand." Xie Yuyan said faintly, "your expression level is really lacking."

Qi Yiping stretched out his hand and motioned in the air: "let me tell you two that there is no door in that secret room. Not only there is no door, it is still sealed from the inside."

Li Qingtong and Xie Yuyan looked at each other. The fundus of his eyes could not help floating. He was stunned: "sealed from the inside?"

"In other words, the craftsmen who built the chamber of secrets were sealed inside and didn't come out?"

"That's right." Qi Yiping nodded hurriedly. "You should have heard of the ancient imperial mausoleum? After the mausoleum is repaired, in order not to leak information, the craftsmen who built the underground palace will be sealed inside. Although this secret room is not as powerful as the imperial mausoleum, this method is also adopted."

Li Qing stared: "what do you mean you just mentioned that there is water in the secret room? Is there any connection between the two?"

Xie Yuyan turned his head and blinked at Li Qing: "don't you understand?"

Li Qing suddenly realized: "the craftsman who built the secret room secretly left a secret door to escape in order to survive, so there was water in the underground palace, right?"

"Hahaha, I didn't expect you two to be so smart." Qi Yiping slapped his hands and said with a smile, "it's really good, but it's not a secret door. It's just a temporary tunnel dug into the sea. We couldn't find the craftsman's body in the secret room, so they should all escape."

After pondering for a while, Li Qing said in a deep voice, "if so, everything will make sense. Since there is water in advance and there are secret roads connected, those strange fish will have a living environment. It seems that they really come from that secret room."
