Gu Yu and Pei Yan were wrapped around their heads in sacks, and their hands were also tied with thick ropes, and they were escorted all the way to the dungeon by the group of NPCs and Han Yifei, who had become the housekeeper of the Golden Mansion again.

Looking at the faint firelight outside through the gap in the sack, Gu Yan suddenly had a feeling of returning to the Heavenly Prison Cell, and subconsciously sighed lightly, but was heard by Pei Yan, who was sitting on the ground back to back with her.

"Gu Fei, you didn't hurt anything, did you?" he asked in a low voice.

Gu Yu was stunned for a moment, and the hand tied behind her slowly groped and moved, "No, it's just a little helpless, I finally ran to the corridor, but I was still arrested." ”

Pei Yan was silent for a while when he heard this, "Now there is no movement outside, those ghosts should be gone, the knot on my side was loosened by me just now, or we will untie each other ......"

Before he finished speaking, Gu Yu quickly pulled her hand out of the knot, raised her hand and took off the sack on her head, and turned to look at Pei Yan, "Teacher Pei, I'm untied, do you need help?"

Pei Yan: "...... Okay, excuse me. ”

"Well, what's the trouble with this. Gu Yu untied the rope that bound Pei Yan three times and divided it by two, got up and looked around in this cell.

The cell was rudimentary, surrounded by mud, with several peeling bricks and a straw on the floor, and the only place to rest was a dirt bed against the wall, covered with a thick layer of ash.

Looking at the antique designs around her and the brass locks hanging from the cell doors, she touched her chin and said, "If my guess is correct, this should be a secret room, and it should have been locked up before." ”

Pei Yan patted the straw on his body, picked up a prop prosthetic hand on the ground, and shook the gold ring hanging on his head, "You guessed right, the last one to be locked up here should be Master Jin, and the housekeeper imprisoned him in the dungeon before he died." ”

"No wonder..."Gu Yu followed his movements and looked at the prosthetic hand, her eyes widened in surprise, and then she suddenly thought of something, and her eyes lit up, "Wait, since the last person who was locked up here was Master Jin, then he might leave some clues, and this hand will definitely not stay here for no reason like this, it must be to give us some instructions, look at that ring!"

Pei Yan took off the gold ring from the fake hand as he said, handed it to Gu Yan, and began to observe the surroundings.

Gu Yan stood at the door of the cell and carefully looked at the gold ring by the light of the torch outside, and said "hey" in surprise, turned to look at Pei Yan, "There is! There is some dirt left on the inside of this ring, and there are still many traces of wear and tear on the corners, I guess it should be something that has been taken off and polished by Master Jin." ”

Pei Yan was stunned when he heard this, and raised his hand to the wall in front of him, "Maybe that's it." ”

Gu Yan looked in the direction of his finger, and when she saw the traces on the wall, she also reacted, "He used the ring to grind off the wall skin and left us a clue." ”

"Yes, and you're going to look at it upside down," Pei Yan said, tilting his head and pulling his right hand in the air, "Connect all the places where these walls have fallen off, it's an arrow, pointing in the direction of-"

"Under the dirt bed!"

The two of them said in unison, looked at each other tacitly, and stepped forward together to wipe off the ash on the earthen bed, only to find that there was a wooden plank below.

"This is a secret passage," Gu Yu poked her head in and looked at it, "The size is quite wide, it should be no problem to accommodate an adult." ”

"Now it seems that there is only one way. Pei Yan thought about it, looked at Gu Yan again, and asked seriously, "You don't have claustrophobia, right?"

"Hmm, no," Gu Yu curled her eyebrows and smiled confidently, and patted her chest gently, "Teacher Pei, don't worry, I'm just like you, I'm an eight-point player!"

Looking at her still bright smile although she was a little embarrassed, Pei Yan hooked the corners of her lips imperceptibly, but quickly recovered her cold expression, and bowed her head calmly, "Okay, then I'll go down first, you follow closely, pay attention not to be scraped." ”

The two of them soon entered the secret passage one after the other, and crawled silently for some distance in such a dark and cramped space.

During the break, Gu Yu hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but speak: "Teacher Pei, I actually have an idea, and I have wanted to talk about it for a long time......

Although he couldn't see it, Pei Yan still turned his head, "Well, you can say it." ”

"Yesterday in the afternoon after your disappearance, we were woken up by the sound of singing on the stage, and then we sat in the backyard with Mr. Huang Yifu and them to watch the play, but when we left, an actor made a lip gesture to me and told me to run. She paused, "And the ghosts used to catch us in the corridor, but they didn't look at the others... If it's because they completely listen to Han Yifei, but I always feel that something doesn't make sense. ”

Pei Yan couldn't help frowning when he heard this, lowered his eyes and thought for a while, and said seriously: "I also think something is not right when you say this, but what puzzles me the most is why Han Yifei took great pains to arrange us to marry underground, and also arranged the front hall to look like a marriage ceremony?"

Hearing this, Gu Yu also frowned, and after a while, her eyes lit up, "I understand! Because we are all living people, the living cannot marry the living, and the dead cannot participate in the wedding of the living, so if he wants to kill us justifiably, he can only hold a living wedding for us underground, and the decoration in the front hall is reserved for those guests who have become ghosts!"

"Makes sense, if you say it, then everyone else is ...... too"

Pei Yan suddenly stopped talking, and the two looked at each other in the dark, both understood what the other party meant, and were silent for a while.
