Hou Tao and I listened to the female voice ringing in the room, and both curiously glanced towards the place where the voice originated. However, because the distance was too far, we couldn't see clearly what was on the ice for a while.

We had no choice but to hide behind the screen on the side of the door and wait quietly for Hei Wuchang to leave the secret room.

While waiting, Hou Tao and I put our ears to the screen, trying to hold our breath and eavesdrop on Hei Wuchang's words. Unexpectedly, Hei Wuchang just kept smiling and rarely talked to the woman. The woman seemed to have lost her strength.

, after saying a few words, he stopped saying anything.

The two of them stayed like that for a long time. When I almost couldn't hold on anymore, Hei Wuchang said: "You continue to rest, I will come to see you later."

After that, he held the ladder next to the ice cube and slowly walked down from the high place. Because he stayed on the ice cube for a long time, his face and body were covered with a thin layer of ice, and his complexion changed from white to white.

It turned purple. But Hei Wuchang didn't care about this. He stood on the ground, patted the ice particles on his body, wiped his cheeks, then waved to the woman on the ice and left.

go out.

When he passed by the screen at the door, Hou Tao and I immediately held our breaths and did not dare to make a single move.

Fortunately, Hei Wuchang didn't notice anything unusual, so he walked directly over, walked through a long corridor, and got to the ground. Watching the white light slowly merge at the other end of the corridor, I knew that the hidden door on the floor was closed.

"How are you going to get out now?" I said with a bitter look on my face.

Hou Tao disagreed and said with a smile: "Rather than how to get out, I am very interested in the ice."

After saying that, he walked to the corridor uneasily. After looking into the corridor again and again, he walked out from behind the screen without hesitation, and then ran toward the big ice cube with three bounds.

When we walked in, we discovered that the bottom of the ice cubes in this meter-high container had turned red due to soaking in blood, blending in with the entire blood pool.

Hou Tao grabbed the ladder on the ice and wanted to climb up, but as soon as he climbed two steps, he sneezed loudly due to the cold stimulation of the giant ice.

I couldn't reach him at that height, so I had to stand there with my arms stiff. Hou Tao waved to me and said, "Don't worry, this secret room is so hidden and so far away from the ground, it's impossible for Hei Wuchang to hear it. But to be honest,

It’s not as cold up here, do you still want to come up?”

"Nonsense, of course I have to go up and have a look. It's here." I rolled my eyes at him, grabbed the ladder and climbed up after him.

Hou Tao was very nimble, and he climbed up on the ice in a few steps. When I climbed onto the ice, I happened to see this scene: Hou Tao was squatting next to the head of a woman wearing a moon-white ancient costume.

Poke a woman's cheek with your finger.

The woman was lying quietly on the ice, with her snow-white hair scattered randomly on the ice. There was no expression on her face, she had a pair of jade feet, and her whole body was exuding a cold air.

There is a tube on both sides of the woman's neck and on the soles of her feet. The other end of the tube penetrates directly through the thick ice and into the blood pool under the ice. The tube is as thick as two fingers put together, and inside

The bright red blood flows.

"Hey, tell me, is she dead?" Hou Tao retracted his fingers, which were red from being exposed to cold things for a long time. He quickly raised his hands to his mouth and took a few breaths of hot air.

"If she is dead, is the person who just talked to Hei Wuchang a ghost?" I walked over, pushed Hou Tao away, squatted down and gently stroked the frost covering the woman's face. Upon closer inspection, this

Although the woman has white hair, she looks about 17 or 18 years old.

"Do you know Xiao Hei?" When I heard this sentence, the movement of my hand froze. The woman under my hand had already opened her right eye and looked at me with bright eyes.

"Wow -" I screamed strangely and fell back to sit down.

Due to the restriction of the tube, the woman could not move her head, so she had to stare at the gauze at the top of the room, forced a smile, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I scared you."

I also noticed my gaffe and quickly shook my head.

However, Hou Tao walked over in a few steps. He stood next to the woman's head, half-hunched over her, staring at her with his eyes and said: "By the way, who are you? Why are you in the secret room?"

." After a pause, Hou Tao added with a smile: "Should we say why you were hidden in this Wuchang Mansion by Hei Wuchang? He seems to be very good to you and treasures you very much."

The woman twitched the corner of her mouth and said with a smile: "Sir, you are joking." The woman spoke in a formal and ancient manner. As she spoke, there were two blushes on the woman's face, and she seemed to be shy.

However, I scanned the woman's body. This woman was obviously a human being, but her whole body was filled with a strong aura of death. If the blood in her body had not been replaced and the metabolism of her body had not been maintained, she might not have survived at all.

of.

It seems that this woman may have died long ago, but was just forced to live by Hei Wuchang.

And the price for continuing your life is the lives of the girls in the box!

Hou Tao couldn't stand it anymore, and while muttering, "Won't this Hei Wuchang get cold even if he stays up there for so long?", he rolled up the sleeves on his arms, revealing the white paper rolled up on his arms.

Then he took out a small knife from his pocket and directly carved two talismans on the white paper. Hou Tao put down his sleeves regardless of the bleeding marks.

He held the two talisman papers as if nothing had happened, and finally recited: "The name of the source of fire, listen to my command. Come!" After shouting, a traditional Chinese character 'fire' appeared out of thin air on the two talisman papers.

.

Looking at his work with satisfaction, Hou Tao threw one of them to me, and he stuck the other one on his chest. I followed the same example and stuck the talisman paper on my chest. Suddenly, a wave of

Warmth continues to emerge from the talisman and circulates throughout the sensory nerves throughout the body.

In an instant, all the chill in his body was removed, and he felt very energetic.

After doing all this, Hou Tao no longer stood, but sat down cross-legged. He said to the woman: "Anyway, we are very free now, why not tell the story about you and Hei Wuchang? I am very curious about your relationship.

Woolen cloth."

"Hey, how can you be so straightforward?" I secretly winked at Hou Tao.

Hou Tao ignored my signal and stared at the woman with interest. The woman didn't show any sign of reluctance to mention it. Instead, she smiled and said, "Xiao Hei doesn't like to talk. I don't know how long I haven't talked to anyone other than him."

We've had a chat, and it makes me happy to talk to you. Although I don't know if you are Xiaohei's friends, I am still willing to tell you our story."

No longer affected by the cold, I sat down cross-legged, raised my ears and listened quietly. I can guarantee that everyone except me has in common that they like to listen to other people telling stories. That is really a good thing.

Something that I enjoyed very much.

The woman nodded towards us, her eyes half-closed, as if she was lost in memories of the past. She opened and closed her mouth and began to tell the story of Hei Wuchang and her.

Do you want to listen to a story? Hehe. Bai Qi likes to tell stories to others. Although I don’t know how many people are watching, I am still willing to share the stories I think of with you.
