Chapter 151： first keyhole

Chapter 151 The first keyhole

When Ruan Youqing and the others walked down slowly, while being careful, they naturally saw the dazzling gold and silver jewels in the pit.

"Hiss! Master, this King of Nanjing is too extravagant! Look at the gold...it's too big..." Qiangu nimbly dodged a headless corpse, and his face was a little excited. Gu Changan spoke.

Gu Changan just glanced at the glittering treasures below, and said calmly with no expression on his face: "What? Are you envious?"

Qiangu hurriedly waved his hand: "I don't dare, if my subordinates have a wrong mind, I'm afraid I will be the same as these corpses."

Because Li Yi was also there, Ruan Youqing specially let Fan Er support her. Although he looked panic-stricken, his steps were very steady.

Because hiding and tucking in makes people feel unhappy, Ruan Youqing is a little depressed at this moment.

After listening to Qiangu's words, she said softly and pointedly: "Qiangu, these corpses are not all coveting other people's treasures. You must have forgotten that the outermost edge of the round pit just now has a long and Less those prisoner dream flowers that can confuse people's minds. If we learn the Tao, maybe... we will end up like them. What's more, these corpses may not be of any identity before they are alive. They may be civilians, or someone from the world Heroes, so we still have to learn to respect these corpses."

She originally wanted to mention that Li Yi didn't remind them about the prisoner Menghua before, but when she saw Li Yi's disdain for those corpses from the corner of her eyes, her disgust deepened.

Gan Gu scratched his head blankly, although he didn't quite understand why Miss Ruan had to say such a lot of things, but after seeing his master's eyes, he nodded hurriedly and replied:

"What Miss Ruan said is true, I understand why."

As for Li Yi, who had just kicked away a corpse blocking his way, his face turned red naturally, and embarrassment and annoyance surged into his heart instantly.

But…

He just couldn't say anything!

"Your Highness, how far is the keyhole?" Ruan Youqing glanced at him lightly, and suddenly started talking to him.

Li Yi suppressed the harshness in his eyes, and raised his face with a smile that he thought was gentle:

"Once we get around the sitting corpse in front of us, it's almost... we'll be there."

Ruan Youqing nodded to show his understanding, and after several people walked forward cautiously, they finally saw the corpse that Li Yi mentioned, while Ruan Youqing subconsciously took another look.

This corpse... would really be impressive.

Because the other corpses were either lying or lying down, it can be said that the death was miserable.

Only this one died while sitting upright. Although it was so rotten that he couldn't see his facial features, Ruan Youqing still felt a very peaceful force from this person.

Moreover, his body seems to be much taller than other corpses.

Ruan Youqing couldn't help but stepped forward and looked carefully.

As she walked to the front, she realized that the corpse did not show any injuries at all.

「There it is.」

Li Yi's voice brought Ruan Youqing back to his senses, and he turned his eyes away from the sitting corpse, and shifted his gaze to where Li Yi was pointing.

On the stone steps just one floor away from them, there is a platform protruding with three fingers. There was indeed a sharp sword sticking out next to the platform, and on that platform...

Ruan Youqing and Gu Changan walked over cautiously, and they saw a keyhole on the platform that matched the key in Li Yi's hand.

Without waiting for them to speak, Li Yi smiled and handed the key to Gu Changan, and then said: "Master Gu, let's try it?"

Gu Changan looked at the key in Li Yi's hand with raised eyebrows, and said unhurriedly:

"His Royal Highness doesn't want us to go to another place? This is... want to try one by one?"

"What does Mr. Gu mean?"

"Naturally... I want to look at the remaining two places, lest the first one opened is wrong. In case of any danger, don't put His Royal Highness in a disgraceful position."

Li Yi frowned, still a little puzzled: "The prince still didn't understand Mr. Gu's meaning."

Gu Changan glanced at him casually, then spoke very slowly:

"His Royal Highness hopes so earnestly that we can open this keyhole, but if there is an accident on the way... If this matter gets out, it may damage His Royal Highness's reputation... I don't know... I am afraid it will arrange His Highness He is ruthless and ungrateful, and regards human life as worthless."

Li Yi opened his eyes wide at this time, looking at Gu Changan with a strange fear in his expression.

Gu Shoufu...It really is not easy to deal with!

After calming down his disturbed mind, Li Yi immediately said seriously: "The crown prince was negligent, thanks to Gu Shoufu's reminder. Then...you guys go to another place?"

Gu Changan nodded, and Li Yi continued to lead the way with a good temper.

It's just that during this period, Fan'er accidentally stepped on the light-colored area due to being too tired.

A long arrow shot out instantly from the stone steps.

If it wasn't for the fact that he had quick eyes and hands to give her a quick hand, Fan'er might have been injured.

Seeing this, Ruan Youqing immediately retracted the leg that was just stepped out.

Fortunately, there was no danger and no one was injured.

But everyone became more cautious in their subsequent actions, and Fan'er also looked ashamed. The hand in his sleeve had already cut his palm, reminding himself to be more vigilant with the pain.

After they reached the second keyhole, Ruan Youqing and Gu Changan subconsciously looked at each other.

The two keyholes can be said to be exactly the same.

Even the long sword stuck on the ground next to it is exactly the same.

Gu Changan paid special attention to the keyhole he saw for the first time in advance. He remembered that there was a lightly carved pattern next to the keyhole.

However, when he leaned over to look at this, he found that there was exactly the same one next to the keyhole in this place.

this…

Is it possible to really try them all?

But... is this keyhole really as safe as Li Yi said?

Ruan Youqing suddenly thought of a difference in his heart.

So, after looking around, she had some ideas in her mind.

Seeing Ruan Youqing's solemn expression, Gu Changan asked her what's wrong.

Ruan Youqing frowned, and replied softly: "Have you seen any strange... corpses around here?"

"Strange? What does Miss Ruan mean by strange? Which one of the corpses here is not in a miserable state of death, which is strange." Li Yi interjected a little nonchalantly.

Gu Changan heard the words but took a careful look.

Sure enough, he also found out that something was wrong.

The corpses here are all lying or kneeling or kneeling. And they either had all kinds of weapons stuck in their bodies, or their heads were in different places, not even a whole body was left.

And just now…

The keyhole they went to...

But there is a…

There seems to be some out-of-place corpses...

whether…

Where the corpse is, is the correct keyhole?

Gu Changan immediately straightened his back, changing his lazy posture just now.

"Let's go back."
