Chapter 1217: Finding Someone
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Xie Qiao felt as if her body and mind were in torment. There were many protective talismans on her body, but they were not of much use. Her eyes were filled with dark energy, and she kept chanting. In this yin-yang imbalance formation, it was burning hot, it was very uncomfortable.
Then, she could see the innate qi of those children.
She worked hard to pull it back bit by bit.
On the altar, there was an extremely good piece of jade, which was also playing a role.
For the first few days, Xie Qiao was still relatively relaxed, but as time went on, he became more and more exhausted.
During the day, Yang energy was strong, which was good for the ritual. At night, she could have a simple rest, but she did not dare to slack off. She ate less and slept less, afraid that if there was anything wrong, all her previous efforts would be wasted.
On the seventh day, at the foot of the mountain, Xie Pinggang looked as if he was going to kill someone.
He had already confirmed that the person was hiding right under his nose, but he could not find him. Today, he finally found something wrong.
This desolate house was not big. When he came to search, he searched everywhere, but he did not find anything special. If it were not for the repeated search today, Yu Xian would not have found anything wrong with this well!
In front of him was a shallow well. He could see the bottom at a glance. The bottom was dry, and there was nothing.
It was thanks to Yu Xian’s reminder that the well was too clean that he reacted.
In ordinary desolate wells, there were piles of old leaves, dead branches, and even mud!
Perhaps the other party was afraid that the mud would leave footprints, so he cleaned up all these things. There were only a few fallen leaves, and there was no smell of decay!
“You can hide quite well, huh?” Xie Pinggang sneered, and then he glanced at Yu Xian.
He thought Yu Xian was very bold. She was more or less a woman, so she would be more careful. Therefore, he specially invited her to go out to look for him. He did not expect that she would really find a clue.
Her eyesight was indeed the best.
“Brothers, get ready.” With that, Xie Pinggang went down to explore.
When he went down, he found that there was indeed a trap. With a light push from the wall of the well, a big hole was pushed out, followed by the stairs.
There was someone inside!
Without saying a word, Xie Pinggang drew his saber and rushed over. In just a few moments, he caught the person guarding the door.
The other brothers also went down to look for people. Yu Xian was just about to follow him when Xie Pinggang thought for a moment and said, “Master Yu, climb to a higher place and have a look. Since there is an entrance, there must be an exit. If someone has escaped, capture him immediately!”
What Xie Pinggang said made sense. Yu Xian leaped onto the top of the wall and followed the wall all the way to the roof. Wherever she sat, the surrounding scenery could almost be seen clearly.
Many of the surrounding manors had cellars in their homes. It could be seen that the secret room here was built quite deep… However, if she was the person who built the secret room, she probably would not have placed the exit near the entrance. She had to go further.
There were still a few people guarding the courtyard. Yu Xian racked her brain, thinking about how to plan the route if she wanted to escape.
This place was very far from the city gate. The secret room could not lead to the outside of the city directly, so it had to lead to a path that did not have many guards.
That path had the best number of intersections, and it was not too far from the main street that led to the city gate. There had to be a place to hide nearby…
With that thought, Yu Xian looked up from the roof and saw a piece of land in the distance.
The people living there were messy, and it was a place where many traveling merchants gathered. It was not easy to manage…
She quickly brought two other people over to investigate.
Recently, she had been following Xie Pinggang to investigate Great Consort Hui. She had memorized all the surrounding houses clearly. She knew which house was best to hide in and which alley was best to escape in!
