Chapter 185 The Underground Palace

Chunniang didn't understand the difficulty of Jingmo.
She led the way with her people, descending all the way down. Along the way, Jingmo fell down countless times, but no matter how much it hurt, she would immediately get up and try to follow Chunniang's footsteps.
Fortunately, the road was not too long. After about half an incense stick worth of time, Jing Mo could already see a light in the distance.
With the help of this light, she could barely see her current location.
Here is the translation of the provided Chinese text into English, with the original HTML tags preserved:\n\n```html\nThis is a narrow passage, no wider than enough for a person to pass through, which extends downward. It seems to be cleaned frequently as there was no dust or pebbles to be seen on the way.\n```
With the illumination of the lights, Jingmo could finally barely keep up with Chunniang's pace.
After stumbling and staggering towards the light, the two of them witnessed a huge stone door.
京墨张了张嘴，不敢确认这里与刚刚自己所处的江南岸有什么关系。
石门气派豪华，与外头的江南岸装修风格极其类似，但是却又完全不同。
If the southern bank of the river outside is luxurious and extravagant, then the stone gate here is very grand and atmospheric. Although the same elements are used, the results of the design are unique.
This also made it difficult for her to describe the shock in her heart, turning around in disbelief to look at Spring Maid, only to see her smile brightly and make a gesture of silence.
京墨了然，这江南岸也好，春娘也好，都是有秘密的人。他们背后的权势极大，如果在外头乱嚼舌根，那么下场恐怕不会很好。
慎重地点了点头，果然收获了春娘更加灿烂的笑容。
“你果然聪明，比他们领进来的那些奇奇怪怪的家伙要好多了。”
The brighter she smiled, the less willing Jing Mo dared to speak. Since entering this underground palace, Chun Jiang seemed to have transformed into a different person, her demonic aura growing stronger and more intimidating with each passing moment.
"Uncle Bao is right behind the Stone Gate, isn't he?"
Chunniang smiled, thinking it was nothing, but Jingmo remembered why they had come here and didn't want to waste any more time on it. If she could, she would rather go back early, at least not feeling so scared inside.
"Of course. But if you want to go in, you'll have to do something."
"What thing?"
With her smile interrupted by Jing Mo, Chunniang didn't get angry. She lightly tapped her head with her index finger, as if teasing a child.
That is...huh!
Following Chunniang's finger, Jing Mo unconsciously looked up at her. Chunniang's thin lips lightly uttered, carrying a faint fragrance that intoxicated the heart.
But the next second, two lips, like peach petals, spewed out ethereal smoke, meandering into Jing Mo's mouth and nose, and then permeating the sky with white color.
What is this?
When consciousness returned, Jing Mo only saw the gorgeous gauze curtains.
She came to her senses in a single breath, tensed her body, and remained vigilant of everything around her.
Danger could come unexpectedly.
Smack!
Snap—
It seems to be the sound of water droplets.
Jingmo subconsciously frowned, but soon realized that the sound was far away from her.
All the sounds around her seemed to be far away from her.
\"Strange, why hasn't it woken up yet? logically, it should have woken up by now?\"
\"Could it be that the medicine this time is not effective? I said it, those people in the pharmacy who are always eating and sleeping will definitely mess it up!\"
“你等等，我再看一眼去。”
有交谈声由远及近，京墨连忙屏息凝神，不敢移动丝毫。
脚步声响起，目标应该就是自己。
Jing Mo quietly counted his steps, but the more he counted, the colder he felt at the bottom of his heart.
This place seemed to be a spacious location, and the footsteps echoed for a long time without getting any closer. If this place was very open, then if he made any movements after people left, he was afraid he would be discovered.
她心中有些焦躁，却不得不耐下心来，等待着接下来那个人的审判。
“……好像，还是没醒。”
“我就说嘛，肯定是要出了问题。你等着，我去找他们去，今天我非要讨个说法不行。”
Two noisy voices argued for a few sentences, and the nearby footsteps gradually disappeared.
Jing Mo breathed a sigh of relief and, when the footsteps had completely disappeared, slowly opened his eyes.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she was met with a pair of shining eyes.
"Hey! Gotcha!"
This horrifying scene almost scared Jing Mo into fainting. With her mouth open, she couldn't say a word. She just breathed heavily, as if her heart would stop working in the next second.
"Don't don't don't! Don't pass out!"
This also frightened the owner of those eyes. They scrambled to try to calm down Jingmo, but didn't know what to do to help her recover.
"It's all your fault, why did you scare her? Now she's got a problem because of you!"
Another voice chimed in, accompanied by the sound of footsteps coming closer. Another person ran over from a distance, not even stopping before starting to complain again.
"How can you blame me for this? Blame her instead, she's the one pretending to be asleep. Hmph, I thought the medicine wasn't working."
They bickered for a while before finally quieting down.
With the time of two people chatting, Jingmo finally calmed down her excited heart and gradually returned to normal.
These two people bickering really gave her a headache. Pretending to sleep had already been caught red-handed, so she acted impolitely towards the two strange people.
"Can you guys stop arguing? You're really annoying!"
As soon as the words were out, it did bring a moment of quietness.
Jing Mo let out a sigh of relief and looked up to assess them.
“你好凶啊！”
“对啊，你干嘛凶我们！是我们一直在照顾你！”
“我再也不要照顾你了！我要走了！”
……
这两个人又开始了新一轮的吵闹。
Jingmo has one head and two big eyes.
She gave up the idea of ​​quieting two people down, raised her head and looked at the two people.
These two people were dressed identically, their hair styled identically, and most strangely, they were both wearing the same mask.
还不待京墨仔细观察这面具的特征，这两个人许久没听见安慰声，竟然一前一后地跑了出去。
他们干别的不行，可行动起来却是十分迅速，只是一眨眼睛，就已经跑的不见了踪影。
Jing Mo didn't have the heart to persuade these two people to stay.
She had come down to look for Uncle Bao, but not only did she not find him, she also fainted. This was not a good thing.
With worry in her heart, she looked around. Sure enough, this place was very similar to what she had guessed.
四周是空旷无比的平面，地上铺着白玉石板，空中高高地悬挂着许多夜明珠，有四条通往外界的路。
刚才那两个吵人的家伙，就是从最右那一条路出去的。
Jing Mo is not prepared to follow up and take a look. One is that he doesn't understand the situation here, and the other is that from the looks of it, these two are probably going to file a complaint.
If he were to follow along, he would probably be walking into something that wouldn't end well for him.

She turned around again, her pupils contracting slightly.
