Chapter 57 Search



Using up his last bit of strength, the man in black turned around and saw Gu Qingsheng leaning against him, trembling with bloodshot eyes.

The look in his eyes was first surprised, then angry, and finally turned into gnashing of teeth.

"Princess Changle...you actually...you actually..."

"Still alive..."

As Gu Qingsheng's wooden stick penetrated deeper and deeper, the light in her eyes gradually faded, and finally she lowered her head and died.

The wooden stick had been completely swallowed by the body of the man in black. Blood continued to flow out from the place where the wooden stick was inserted and flowed into Gu Qingsheng's hand. The hot feeling made Gu Qingsheng's red eyes suddenly a little confused.

After realizing the current situation, she screamed, threw away the things in her hands and fell to the ground!

The bloody palm prints hit the ground, and each one looked very scary.

Gu Qingsheng was so frightened that his legs went weak and his face was dejected. He could only hear his own heartbeat.

Blood immediately flowed all over the ground. She gasped for breath and looked at the man in black who was no longer moving.

Raising his hands and looking at the blood on his palms, Gu Qingsheng's breathing became heavier.

The only person he killed in his previous life was Chu Zhiyao, who was already dying at that time.

But her memory at that time was very confused, and the overwhelming hatred had overshadowed her fear.

She is different now.

She is awake.

Gu Qingsheng's teeth were trembling as he realized that he had killed someone while he was awake.

She heard a scream from somewhere outside, and suddenly remembered Liu Yanqiu who was fighting with Wen Sa!

He gritted his teeth, crawled forward and turned the man in black over.

Deliberately ignoring the wound that was bleeding, Gu Qingsheng pulled off the mask of the man in black.

It was a young woman's face, and as expected, she was completely unfamiliar to Gu Qingsheng.

She fumbled around the woman's body for a while, and finally found a note at her sleeve.

"Kill Princess Changle and receive 20,000 taels of silver."

Seeing this note that looked like a reward, Gu Qingsheng felt relieved.

This woman must have killed many innocent people because of this kind of thing. This time, it was because he was lucky that he encountered a fire and the woman was not very vigilant, which allowed him to succeed.

This can be considered as another way for her to eliminate harm to the people.

And below the note, there are a few words

"Searching..."

Gu Qingsheng muttered to himself, but the words at the end were stained with blood and could not be read or understood.

Besides killing themselves, they are looking for something.

His gaze gradually focused on the scripture that the woman had just placed in her hand.

She stood up and began to grope slowly like the woman, and finally found a scripture made of a harder material in the same place as before.

Because the scripture was placed a little high, Gu Qingsheng had to use a lot of strength just to touch it, and he couldn't see the words on the scripture at all.

I wanted to take the scripture and take a closer look, but the moment I put the scripture down, there was a loud noise from the surrounding walls!

The loud noise came suddenly, and Gu Qingsheng immediately became alert and took his hand away from the scriptures.

Not far away, the bed suddenly began to move, eventually revealing a secret passage underneath the bed.

Now, Gu Qingsheng knew what they were looking for.

It turns out that their mission is not just to kill themselves, but also to find the secret passage.

Approaching the secret passage, there are stairs winding down continuously. It is pitch black inside and nothing can be seen.

There was nothing outside except the sound of fire. For some reason, Gu Qingsheng felt a little nervous.

She looked hesitantly at the dead woman, picked up a burning torch and entered the tunnel.

As soon as Gu Qingsheng entered, the couch slowly returned to its original state.

In the entire room, except for a dead person who was no longer breathing, everything else seemed as if nothing had happened.

The torches illuminated the entire staircase. Gu Qingsheng took each step cautiously, constantly looking around.

I don’t know why Jingyuan set up such a deep secret passage in his room.

The further down we went, the colder the air became and the dimmer the torches became.

Originally, Gu Qingsheng planned to hide in this place.

However, when she saw the brightly lit house ahead, her thoughts may have changed a little.

At the end of this staircase, there is a room that is constantly flooded with light.

When I stepped in, I found that the light there was not from candles, but from countless night pearls.

Each night pearl is worth a fortune, but I didn’t expect that there are so many of them in the secret passage under the Jingyuan collapse.

The light from these night pearls illuminated the entire room. There was no other decoration in the room, just a few boxes scattered in the corner.

The lid of one of the boxes had been opened, and it was filled with scriptures.

That's a bit strange.

If this is the warehouse of Luofo Temple, a place for storing Buddhist scriptures, why do so many night pearls need to be used for illumination?

As if possessed by a ghost, Gu Qingsheng walked up to the box, picked up a scripture and started reading it.

However, just this one glance made her expression change suddenly.

He suddenly closed the book, and Gu Qingsheng's hand was unsteady, and the scripture fell to the ground.

As if she had experienced something horrible, she turned her head stiffly to the side and refused to look at the books in the box.

His eyes were wide open, and his hands on the sides of his legs kept tightening.

These people are actually looking for these things.

What is their purpose?!

There was a vague bad idea in his mind, but the idea was too absurd, so Gu Qingsheng forced it to be suppressed.

While I was thinking, I seemed to hear the sound of water flowing around me.

Judging by the distance, she should be underground now, or in the mountains of Luofo Temple.

Since she could hear the sound of water here, did it mean that the water flowed directly to the foot of the mountain? As long as she found the spring, she could escape!

Forcing himself to put the matter of the scriptures aside, Gu Qingsheng gritted his teeth and refused to look at the boxes.

The time has not come yet.

She is too weak now.

There is no need to control these things too early, it will only bring disaster to yourself.

She listened carefully to the sound of flowing water coming from all around her. The sound was a little empty and she didn't know where it was going.

Knocking carefully on the walls around him, Gu Qingsheng tried to find a side among the walls that was relatively weak compared to the surrounding ones.

But while groping, he felt the unevenness of the walls around him, and finally found a button in a dark corner.

With a frown on his face, Gu Qingsheng pressed the button.

A secret door slowly opened from the wall.

There's actually another secret passage within this secret passage?!
