After the indigenous heroine was reborn, she went crazy and reorganized the plot line

Chapter 172 Secret Passage

"Break this door open!"

Rong Su tried to open the small door, but found that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't open it, as if someone had locked it from behind.

She had to find Gu Yun because the reader actually sent out a side quest at this time.

[Side quest triggered: Find Gu Yun, successfully read the reader +5 levels]

Level five?

This side quest actually adds so much!

After thinking for a while, Rong Su's expression became a little heavy, which meant that finding Gu Yun was not an easy task.

Seeing that there were no signs of fighting or struggling in the Zen room, that meant one thing.

Gu Yun probably followed that person away voluntarily.

Who on earth could make Gu Yun agree to leave with that person?

It should be someone he knows.

When the young monk heard Rong Su was going to break down the door, he immediately panicked and said nervously, "Your Highness! No, this is a sacred place for Buddhism, it's better not to destroy it."

But Rong Su didn't want to hear this at all. Her tone was firm and unquestionable, with an undeniable sense of oppression: "How much silver?"

Under the pressure from Rong Su, the little monk's head was covered in cold sweat and his face turned pale with fear.

"No, Your Highness, this is a sacred place for Buddhism, and, and if it is destroyed, I, I..."

The little monk was only about eleven or twelve years old. He had never seen Rong Su's cold and oppressive aura before, and his legs began to tremble.

Rong Su didn't want to embarrass him, so she ordered Xiao Hei directly with a cold face: "Go ahead. If anything goes wrong, you can have someone come to me to claim compensation."

After receiving the order, Xiao Hei immediately ordered the guards to start breaking down the door.

Seeing this, the little monk panicked and tried to stop it, but Rong Su stopped him with a cold expression: "If I were you, find someone who can speak with you to stop me."

The little monk widened his eyes in panic and ran out anxiously. It seemed that he listened to Rong Su's words and went to find the abbot of the temple.

The sound of the door being banged on was so loud, rumbling and echoing in the empty hall. Every sound was like a heavy hammer hitting the heart, making people tremble involuntarily.

The guards held heavy hammers in their hands and took turns striking.

The seemingly inconspicuous little door had its wooden surface broken after being hit countless times, revealing its solid iron surface.

I thought I could pry it open, but it only produced a faint cold glow on the surface, without a trace of damage inside.

Rong Su stood quietly to one side, her eyes as sharp as cold stars, fixed firmly on the stubbornly closed door, and the corners of her mouth outlined an arc that was both resolute and tough.

Beside her, Xiao Hei also had a solemn expression on his face. He used gestures to accurately guide the guards to adjust the angle and strength of each impact, trying to find the imperceptible and fragile gap in the small door.

The air was filled with tension. Every collision between the hammer and the door set off a dull and powerful roar, temporarily pulling this Buddhist pure land into the worldly turmoil and tension.

It lasted for an unknown amount of time. Just when her patience was about to wear out, Xiao Hei said in surprise, "Your Highness! The little door was smashed open!"

Sure enough, a gap had been smashed into the small door, and then the guards attacked in one go.

With a loud bang, the entire small door was finally broken open and fell to the ground, breaking into three pieces.

"Go after him! Make sure you find Gu Yun!"

"Yes!"

The guards rushed in through the small door.

After the guards entered, Rong Su squatted down and checked the small door.

No wonder this small door is so hard to break open. It is actually made of a piece of heavy iron, but a layer of wood is used on the outside to cover the heavy iron inside.

Such exquisite craftsmanship is not something that ordinary people can produce.

"Oh! Your Highness! You are destroying Buddhism! Amitabha! Good, good!"

The abbot, supported by the young monk, hurried over, sweating profusely. When he saw the terrible destruction in the meditation room, his face turned grim.

Seeing the abbot coming, Rong Su took out a large bag of silver and handed it to the abbot without hesitation, with a sincere attitude.

"Abbot, this is the money for repairing the meditation room. If it's not enough, you can ask someone to go to the princess's mansion to ask for it. I will take responsibility for my rudeness, so please don't blame this young monk."

After saying this, she clasped her hands together and bowed to the abbot who was slightly stunned by the silver, then immediately walked into the small passage behind the small door.

The little monk didn't expect that Rong Su stayed to speak for him. He suddenly felt a little ashamed, as he had just blamed the prince in his heart.

The abbot stared at the dark little door inside. Although he was concerned about the door being destroyed, he was more puzzled by the sudden appearance of a secret passage in this meditation room.

"Wuzhi. Find your uncle and tell him to come to my meditation room. I have something to ask him."

Wuzhi was surprised. Erzhang looked at the abbot in confusion. "What about His Highness and the others? Should we help them? Young Master Gu suddenly disappeared in our temple."

The abbot said solemnly, "You should also ask a few novice monks to help His Highness."

"Yes."

Rong Su went to chase Xiao Hei, but unexpectedly there was a fork in the secret passage.

And there’s more than one.

In the dim secret passage, the wind blew through the corridor with a constant whistling sound. The fire starter in his hand flickered, reflecting Rong Su's furrowed brow.

She stood at a fork in the road with two signs, her eyes sharp as an eagle, not missing any tiny clues around her.

The air was filled with dampness and chill, as if even the pace of time had stopped at this moment, and everything was silent.

She slowly bent her knees, her fingers gently stroking the arrows simply outlined in charcoal black, thinking silently in her heart.

The mark on one side appears a bit hasty and messy, with the edge of the arrow unintentionally blurred, as if it was left in a hurry; the mark on the other side is completely different, with the arrow neat and powerful, revealing that it was done deliberately.

Rong Su gently closed her eyes and thought quietly.

After a moment, she suddenly opened her eyes, and a glimmer of unquestionable determination danced in her pupils.

I chose the path with neat arrows and slowly walked into the increasingly dark corridor.

The surroundings were so quiet that the only sounds I could hear were my own rapid breathing and heartbeat.

The sound echoing in the long secret passage seemed to be amplified several times, sounding particularly harsh.

Both sides of the secret passage silently devoured every ray of light that attempted to escape, and the faint light of the tinder could only barely illuminate the few stumbling steps ahead.

In the air, an indescribable musty dampness intertwined with the decay of time makes people feel a chill in their hearts and spines.

Rong Su held the fire starter tightly in his hand, and every step seemed particularly heavy.

She was cautious and alert to the front and back. In the darkness, her nerves became very sensitive and she was wary of the dangers that might be hidden in the darkness.

Just then, she saw a figure in front of her.

In the dim vision, it looks particularly creepy, like a ghost that can eat people at any time.

"I didn't expect you to come to this path. It's not as if you can't see that this path is not marked by the same signs as your followers."

It's Magnolia's voice.

Rong Su was sure that even if the other party had deliberately used ventriloquism to change his voice, she still managed to capture the details of the tone.

"I chose this path on purpose. You can tell I can tell whether a mark is real or fake, but I still deliberately made a fake mark."

Staring at Yulan's back, she gently put her hand under her sleeve: "Isn't your purpose to make me come to you, Yulan?"

Yulan obviously knew that she had guessed her, and was not surprised. She sneered in her own voice.

She turned around slowly, and at that moment, the silver needle in Rong Su's hand immediately shot towards Yulan.

Yulan's eyes flashed, and her figure moved lightly in the dark and cramped secret passage. The sharp whistling sound of the silver needle cutting through the air followed closely behind, almost passing by her fluttering clothes, and finally with several "thumps", it was deeply embedded in the hard stone wall.

Seeing her extraordinary skills, Rong Su aimed at several acupuncture points on the opponent and shot out silver needles.

Yulan was hit by a silver needle and frowned. Then she pulled out a thin and soft whip from her sleeve. The whip seemed to absorb all the darkness around it and emitted a faint cold blue light. She turned her wrist lightly, and a sharp and elegant arc went straight to Rong Su's door.

The air seemed to be torn open, with a sharp sound of breaking wind.

Rong Su saw the whip coming at an extremely fast speed and dodged sideways, but was still whipped. The burning pain burned on his shoulder.

The flames and whip shadows intertwined, and every move of Yulan contained a deadly threat that took people's breath away.

In this narrow space, although Rong Su used his lightness skills to dodge, the space was limited after all, and he had suffered multiple injuries.

Naturally, Yulan did not seem to be at ease under her attack of silver needles and darts, and she also suffered many wounds on her body.

Until their final attack, Yulan's whip was cut in half by Rong Su with a dart, and Rong Su's darts and silver needles were also used up.

They distanced themselves from each other, staring at each other warily.

"You were the one who took Gu Yun away."

Yulan's expression was calm, and Rong Su knew that she was not wrong.

She smiled coldly and looked at Yulan: "From the beginning, I vaguely guessed that you had ulterior motives when approaching me, and I have been waiting for you to make a move."

"I just didn't expect that you had been here from Zhongzhou to Dongzhou for so long without revealing yourself. You lay dormant for so long, and then suddenly left. You did it because of Gu Yun."

Yulan didn't deny it. Her eyes suddenly narrowed, and her tone was filled with anger and questioning, as if the emotions that had been pent up for a long time burst out at this moment: "If you can truly treat Gu Yun with all your sincerity, I will retreat to a corner and watch quietly! Why do you always pester Shen Peiqing in front of Gu Yun?"

"You've broken his heart so many times! Someone like you doesn't deserve Gu Yun's feelings! I'm going to take him away! Also, I have to complete my final mission and kill you!"

As she spoke, she slowly approached, emitting an oppressive feeling that could not be ignored. The dim secret passage seemed to become even colder because of her anger.

Instead of taking a step back, Rong Su took a step forward, with unquestionable determination flashing in her eyes. She had already seen through Yulan's delicate and subtle feelings for Gu Yun, but she had never expected them to be so deep.

In fact, she felt guilty towards Gu Yun, and she still hadn't figured out whether she had any romantic feelings for him.

However, Yulan's questioning and resentment made her very unhappy.

It was not her turn for others to dictate her feelings, and she had a cold expression.

He sneered, "Kill me? That depends on whether you have the ability."

As she spoke, her fingers moved slightly. Although she had no hidden weapons to use, her calm and composed demeanor did not diminish in the slightest.

Yulan's eyes became sharper and sharper, and she clenched her fists, obviously intending to fight her bare-handed.

In close combat, Rong Su was definitely no match for Yulan. From the previous match, she had already seen that Yulan was a person with strong martial arts skills.

But she only knows how to use hidden weapons and simple martial arts, so she will lose in a direct hand-to-hand combat.

Thinking of this, Rong Su had already made plans to escape first. He kept a vigilant eye on Yulan's approach while observing the surroundings for a way out.

Yulan was so angry that she shouted and rushed forward immediately. Every move she made was fierce and every attack was aimed at her fatal point.

Even if Rong Su used his lightness skills to dodge, he could not dodge many times in this narrow corridor.

Yulan was hit by several punches on her abdomen, chest, and shoulder blades. The pain made her grit her teeth and step back repeatedly.

"Hehe, you are no match for me, Rong Su. If you don't fight back, I can let you die more easily." Yulan mocked her, obviously no longer taking her seriously.

Rong Su covered his shoulder which felt like it was hit by a stone, gasped for breath, pushed his tongue into the right side of his mouth, and grinned coldly.

"Okay, I won't resist. Tell me whether my guess is right or wrong. Rong Yingxin sent you to kill me, right?"

As she said this, she looked closely at Yulan's expression. When she saw her face froze for a few moments, she understood.

Then he continued, "Also, your approach to me should have been Rong Yingxin's idea from the beginning. She probably asked you to approach me just to monitor me, right?"

Seeing that Yulan had a tense face and didn't speak, she suddenly smiled casually, as if she was not fighting a life-and-death duel with Yulan, but rather as leisurely as drinking tea and chatting.

"Since you already know this, I will definitely not let you leave this place alive!"

After she finished speaking, Yulan jumped up, and her seemingly slender fist was actually full of power, which set off a gust of wind and rushed towards her face.

She quickly dodged to the side, but just as she dodged, a right hook came towards her left cheek.

She pushed the ground with her heels and moved backwards, leaving a long trail. As soon as she stood firm, the opponent began to chase her relentlessly. A few crazy punches forced her to retreat to the edge of a protruding stone.

The head of the stone was a very sharp protrusion. Seeing that Yulan's attack was fierce, if she retreated any further, she would have nowhere to go. If she was not careful, she might get her back rubbed against the sharp stone.

She quickly scanned the area and saw a cracked spot on the stone wall closest to her.

Seeing that Yulan had obviously entered a crazy attacking state, she clenched her fists in front of her to block her fierce attack, but the opponent's strength was obviously greater than hers.

Rong Su already felt exhausted. It turned out that fighting hand-to-hand with a martial arts expert was unbearable.

After being punched several times by Yulan, her vision was a little blurred. She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and curled the corner of her lower lip.

Seeing that she was still laughing even though she had beaten her black and blue, Yulan couldn't understand her and frowned, "What are you laughing at?"

He groped behind himself with his right hand, staring at Yulan, and smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled: "What are you laughing at? I'm laughing at your ignorance!"

"what!"
