There is no channel for communication with the outside world at all, all the necessities of life can be purchased in the shopping mall at the entrance of the village, and the employment of young people can also be solved by currying favor with the agents of the Xuanyin Sect, and it seems that there is no need to communicate with the outside world.

But under such a closed rule, the Xuanyin Sect completely controls the spirit and daily life of the villagers, and the village chief sent has absolute control over the villagers.

But no matter whether Dazhu has done something angry and resentful, these powerless villagers have no way but to endure it, not to mention the difference in strength between the two, Dazhu in the Shenhai period can easily wipe out the entire village with one finger, and the impermeable rule of the Xuanyin Sect alone makes these simple villagers unable to bear the consequences of angering them at all.

If nothing else, the lack of water and food alone is enough to drive these villagers crazy, who cannot rely on the land to support themselves.

And the fear of the villagers, hidden behind the mask of fanaticism, is a testament to this.

But Nie Tian was now not interested in saving the common people from the evil rule of the Xuanyin Sect, and as the full picture of the Xuanyin Sect was revealed little by little, Nie Tian found that he was more and more interested in it.

Hopefully, they'll keep themselves fresh, otherwise......

Nie Tian sat cross-legged on the bed, Zhao Song saw it in his eyes, knowing that the master was going to concentrate on cultivation, so he retreated very knowingly.

Back in his room, Zhao Song was a little annoyed.

Although he knew that the master must be confident, he still wanted to do more for Nie Tian, even if he got more information?

It's a pity that now he is completely under the surveillance of the Xuanyin Sect, and his strength is insufficient, although he can scare a person like Dazhu, whose strength is too different, but Zhao Song himself knows very well that if he really fights, he is afraid that he will still be involved in the master's rescue.

In that case, even if the master is definitely invincible in the world, his own recklessness will definitely destroy the master's plan.

But just do nothing, and don't be reconciled.

Thinking so, Nie Tian looked at the gloomy sky outside, only to feel that the future was dim, and he couldn't help but fall headlong on the tatami mat.

"Boom!"

Zhao Song rose in response, looked at the position where he had just fallen in confusion, and tentatively reached out and knocked on it.

"Knock! knock!"

"Hollow!" Zhao Song's eyes lit up, he lifted the tatami mat to reveal the sturdy floor tiles, knocked it carefully, and sure enough, he found that there were about three brick-sized floors, all of which were hollow!

The bricks used to build the houses in Joy Village are all small, and so are the floor tiles, the distance of three bricks is just enough for an adult man to barely get into, and judging from the sound of the floor tiles, it is not just as shallow as a dark grid.

Is it authentic?

Zhao Song thought and probed around.

Unfortunately, I searched the entire house, but I couldn't find a mechanism that could open the entrance to the tunnel.

"Isn't it here?" Zhao Song was worthy of being Nie Tian's disciple, and immediately realized that this was most likely not the tunnel entrance he had guessed, but a one-way exit!

Otherwise, there's no way to explain that it's built in the room in the tunnel, but the mechanism isn't here.

And judging from Zhai Qing's normal reaction before leaving, he probably didn't know the existence of this tunnel.

Then there are only two explanations.

Either this tunnel was built by the Joy Village itself, and Dazhu didn't know that he wasn't really "his own person", and under trust, he felt that it didn't matter if he knew.

Another hypothesis is that the existence of this tunnel doesn't even know about the big pillar, and it was there early on, and he just happened to encounter it.

Among these two hypotheses, Zhao Song prefers the second one, because with the thickness of the floor tiles, if he didn't happen to plant himself just now, just walking and sleeping, it would be difficult to find this hidden tunnel.

"No matter what it is, in short, it's fate to meet it, let's find a way to go down and have a look. Zhao Song thought about it, and immediately slipped out and told Nie Tian about it.

"Master, let me go down and explore first?" Zhao Song asked expectantly.

"Yes. ”

Nie Tian didn't refuse, with him, no one could do anything to Zhao Song.

"Thank you, Master!"

Zhao Song was very excited, hurriedly returned to the house, lifted the whole tatami mat, and poured another cup of tea on the hollow floor tiles, watching the tea quickly penetrate down.

Sure enough, it's authentic!

Zhao Song rolled up his sleeves, carefully touched the gaps in the floor tiles, and tried to pick them with his fingers, but the lines did not move, but the nails were lifted a little.

"It hurts! It's not that simple. ”

Nie Tian poured some wound medicine on the edge of his nails, and looked at the unpretentious three floor tiles in front of him with a little headache.

Because of his background and strength, Zhao Song is much more cautious than Nie Tian. If you don't want to cause trouble for the master, it's best not to expose more, without transferring his cultivation, he is just an ordinary person who is a little stronger than ordinary people, and if he wants to pry open these three obviously locked floor tiles, he really has to find a tool to take advantage of.

Speaking of tools, the golden statue of Qingchengzi enshrined under the portrait in the main hall suddenly appeared in Zhao Song's mind.

He seemed to remember that the right hand of the golden statue seemed to hold a miniature "sword" cast of fine iron, if I remember correctly, it should have been strengthened by Xuan Qi, and when I saw it at the time, I still felt that it was a waste, and now that I think about it, isn't it just right to use it to pry bricks!

Thinking of it, Zhao Song got up suddenly, carefully put the tatami mat back in place, and after repeatedly confirming that he couldn't see that he had passed, he sneakily slipped out of the room and touched the lobby.

This time, Zhao Song found that there were really a lot of people in this mansion, in addition to the few black-clothed people who came with them, there were also many ordinary people wearing ordinary villagers' clothes and holding various tools to clean the house.

Most of these people are teenagers in their twenties or even below, seeing Nie Tian bending down and saluting, a few of them are still a little familiar, they should be one of the onlookers before, so these people are all villagers of Xile Village?

Zhao Song thought about it, casually summoned a young man who was mopping the floor, and asked, "You are all from Xile Village?"

The young man looked to be no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, and he didn't seem to have thought that one day he would be able to talk to the high-ranking disciples of the high-ranking "Young Master", his cheeks were red with excitement, and he stammered a little when he spoke: "Yes, yes, we are all preparatory disciples who were selected by the village chief to serve the statue of the sect master!"

When the words "preparatory disciple" were spoken, the young man obviously straightened his back, his eyes were shining, and he was obviously very proud of his identity.

Prep disciples?

Zhao Song blinked: "How long will it take to turn positive?"
