After staring at Pang Tong for about a quarter of an hour, Pang Degong let out a long breath, and seemed to have made some kind of decision in his heart.

"Tong'er, you come with me!"

"Yes!"

Pang Tong replied respectfully, followed behind Pang Degong, and walked towards the other room. Following behind Pang Degong, Pang Tong thought for a while in his heart, I don't know why Pang Degong had such an expression, giving him a look as if he was saying goodbye. However, Pang Tong didn't ask, he knew that if Pang Degong wanted to say it, he would naturally tell him.

In another room, Pound walked straight to the corner, where a delicate candlestick was mounted in the corner, smooth and shiny. As far as Pang Tong knew, Pang Degong cherished this candlestick very much, and no one was allowed to touch it. Pang Tong once wanted to scrub this candlestick for Pang Degong in good intentions, however, after being seen by Pang Degong, he was not praised by Pang Degong, and Pang Degong, who had always been kind and charitable to him, was directly scolded. After that, Pang Tong no longer dared to have any thoughts about this candlestick.

I saw Pang Degong walk to the candlestick, stretched out his hand and turned it violently, and Pang Tong heard a "boom" sound. In Pang Tong's shocked gaze, a wall next to the bed slowly moved to the side.

"This..."

There is no doubt that Pang Tong's surprise in his heart is that he has followed Pang Degong for many years, but he didn't know that there was such a secret in Pang Degong's family. If it weren't for Pang Degong to let him see it today, I'm afraid he wouldn't know this secret until he died. At the same time, Pang Tong also had some excitement in his heart, and it seemed that he was about to see something amazing.

Pang Degong didn't pay attention to Pang Tong's thoughts, didn't say anything, and walked directly towards the secret passage, and Pang Tong hurriedly followed.

"Boom!"

Every time he walked a distance, Pang Degong had to open a mechanism before he could move on. After walking for about two quarters of an hour, Pang Tong followed Pang Degong to a fine wooden door, which was tightly closed, and on each side of the wooden door was a candlestick. Pang Degong stepped forward and rotated a few times on each of the two candlesticks, and with a "squeak", the wooden door slowly opened. Looking at Pang Degong's operation methods, it is obviously not simple to open this wooden door, if there is no correct method, what will happen, no one can predict. At least, Pang Tong didn't know what would happen after the hard break.

Originally, Pang Tong thought that after entering the secret room, he would see something shocking. However, when I walked in, I was disappointed that the secret room was only the size of a room, and there was nothing left except for a seemingly ancient wooden box on a stone platform in front of it. Of course, Pang Tong also knew that things were definitely not so simple, and that wooden box must be extraordinary. Otherwise, Pang Degong would not have shown such a serious expression, and would have to hide an ancient, dilapidated wooden box in such a place.

Under Pang Tong's gaze, Pang Degong walked to the stone platform with a dignified and solemn expression, stretched out his hand and slowly picked up the wooden box, and carefully glanced at it, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, as if the wooden box in his hand was some earth-shattering treasure.

"Tong'er, come here!"

Pang Degong shouted with a serious expression, and Pang Tong hurriedly walked up to Pang Degong and waited solemnly. Pang Degong touched the wooden box in his hand and said with emotion: "Tong'er, do you know what is the reason why my wife and children have not lived together all these years? That's right, maybe you have guessed that it is to protect the box in your hand." Because I know that if I get along with them for a long time, I may let the secret of this box be revealed. Therefore, I dare not slack off, lest something go wrong. This box was passed down to me by my master, who once told me very solemnly that this box is related to the safety of all the people in the world, and there must be no negligence. Originally, I would examine you for a few more years to see if you were fit to take over the burden in my hands. It's just that now it's no longer necessary, perhaps, the owner of this box has appeared. ”

"I hope my uncle will forgive me, but my nephew will be stupid and fail to understand!" Pang Tong asked with some puzzlement, is a box really so important?

"I know, for a moment you can't accept it, but you understand. Still, listen to me tell you slowly. ”

With Pang Degong's narration, Pang Tong gradually understood. Of course, after understanding, Pang Tong was even more shocked, it turned out that the water in this world was so deep.

It turned out that Pang Degong's master was a Taoist disciple, of course, Pang Degong's master was not a Taoist priest, but a disciple of the Taoist school, and like a Confucian disciple, he was a pure Taoist disciple. And Pang Degong's master, that is, Pang Degong's master, is also a Taoist disciple, and without exception, Pang Degong is also a Taoist disciple. Or it can be said that they are all Taoist disciples, disciples of the Taoist school of Taoism. As for whether there are other Taoist disciples in the world, it is unknown. And Pang Tong, a Taoist disciple, has the only task of guarding this box, until the master they have confirmed in their hearts appears and hands over the box to the other party, and their task is completed. According to the oral tradition of their ancestors, in fact, they have existed for a long time, and they are not schools that only appeared during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. And the original contention of a hundred schools of thought was actually a shocking conspiracy, as for what the situation was, no one knows.

"Uncle, do you mean..."

Pang Tong looked at Pang Degong and had some understanding in his heart. The reason why Pang Degong told him this was because of what happened after Xu Shu came. And Xu Shu had already looked at Pang Degong before, but Pang Degong didn't say anything. In this way, the answer is obvious, that is, it has something to do with Youzhou Mu-Yuan Chang.

"That's right!"

Pang Degong nodded solemnly, and said in a condensed voice: "We don't know who the owner of this box is. Just follow our own wishes, looking for the owner who we have in mind. And according to the wishes in my heart, when today, only Youzhou Mu may be the owner of this box. Of course, I'm not sure. Therefore, Tong'er, after you go to Youzhou, don't tell your purpose first, and after investigating for a while, you can reveal your identity again. One thing is certain, however, that the owner of this box has a name, and that is the 'Rebel'. As for the meaning of this title, I don't know, so you can only rely on yourself to explore and solve your doubts. Therefore, Tong'er, let me ask you, whether you are willing to take over this important task, after that, your safety is not just a matter of you alone, but a matter of all the people in the world. ”

"Yes, uncle, nephew is willing to take on this important task and never disappoint his uncle's expectations!" Pang Tong nodded in agreement without the slightest hesitation, his face full of resolute and resolute expression.

"Okay, Tong'er, you really didn't disappoint me!" Pang Degong nodded and said with a relieved expression. "Also, I vaguely feel that Sima Hui is not a simple person, and he must not let him know about this matter. Now Yuan Zhi is going to Youzhou, and the people and horses sent by Youzhou Pastor must not be simple, so you will follow them to Youzhou. Remember, your life can be lost, and this box must not be lost!"

"Uncle, don't worry, the box is there, and the dead box is still there!"

"Hmm!"

On this side, Pang Degong told Pang Tong a shocking secret, and on the other hand, Xu Shu also went to Sima Hui's house and told Sima Hui that he was leaving Jingzhou for Youzhou. In this regard, Sima Hui expressed regret and emotion, but there was no persuasion to stay, the two talked for a while, Xu Shu said goodbye and left, tomorrow will go to Youzhou, the road is long, if you don't have a good rest, it is very tiring.

After Xu Shu left, Sima Hui stood in place and frowned. After a few moments, he closed the door and headed for another place.

Sima Hui went to a dilapidated looking house, knocked lightly three times, then knocked heavily, and then gently knocked three times before Sima Hui stopped. He stood straight, with a dignified expression and a hint of respect, as if there was some big man in the room.

"Come in!"

After a long time, a majestic voice came from inside the room. Hearing this voice, Sima Hui exhaled heavily, straightened his sleeves, gently pushed open the door, and walked in.

"Meet Deacon Sima!"

Walking into the room, a figure sat cross-legged with his back to Sima Hui. However, although the other party didn't seem to see his movements, Sima Hui didn't dare to be disrespectful, and still bowed respectfully.

"Alright, Decao. There are no outsiders here, and there is no need for so much etiquette between you and me. The figure finally turned around, only to see a middle-aged man with a delicate face, who looked no more than thirty years old. And Sima Hui, who is now in his forties, still wants to call his uncle in the face of this person, but it makes people feel a little weird.

"Yes, uncle!"

Sima Hui replied respectfully, and then walked up to this person. It wasn't until the other party said "sit" that he carefully sat cross-legged opposite this person, his demeanor was upright and respectful, there was no superfluous movement at all, and he didn't even dare to breathe too hard.

"Say, what are you doing here today?" The middle-aged man didn't say much politely, and asked directly, just like a superior asking a subordinate.

"Yes, uncle!"

Sima Hui was a well-known celebrity outside, but he didn't dare to have any arrogance in front of this person, and after listening to the other party's words, he hurriedly said: "Before, my uncle asked my nephew to pay attention to the situation of a few people, so that they can be trained and useful to the alliance in the future." It's just that today, Xu Shu, whose uncle paid attention to his nephew, is now leaving Jingzhou and going to Youzhou. The nephew did not dare to make a decision on this matter, so he came to inform his uncle. ”

"Huh?"

Listening to Sima Hui's words, the middle-aged man's brows furrowed slightly. However, soon the middle-aged man's expression returned to normal, as if nothing had happened just now.

It turned out that this middle-aged man was an elder of the Yuan Heavenly Elder of the Shadow Pavilion of the Shuntian Alliance, named Sima Yuantian.

Sima Yuantian's personality is rather weird, so he did not stay in the lair of the general alliance, but went to the land of Jingzhou with beautiful mountains and rivers to enjoy life. Of course, once there is a task in the alliance, Sima Yuantian still has to participate, otherwise, according to the rules of the alliance, he will not be able to avoid punishment.

And Sima Hui is Sima Yuantian's nephew. Of course, because Sima Hui was not suitable for martial arts, Sima Hui took the literati route. It's just that for the Shuntian League, Sima Hui is just an eyeliner planted in the outside world by the Jingzhou Branch of the Shuntian League. Although Sima Yuantian is Sima Hui's uncle, the internal feelings of the Shuntian League are weak, and Sima Yuantian is too lazy to pay attention to Sima Hui's affairs. Say a few words to him when you're happy, and let him get out of the way when you're unhappy. The distortion of the human temperament in the Shuntian Alliance to such a point shows how sad it is.

The existence of a figure like Sima Hui has another role, that is, to cultivate talents for the family that controls the world of the Shuntian League, and it will be useful in dealing with the government faction in the future. Of course, for the Shuntian Alliance, it doesn't matter whether there are such talents or not, after all, their strength is strong, as long as the general trend of the world is under their control, other actions are superfluous. Therefore, among the Shuntian League, the literati who cannot practice martial arts and have low military force have the lowest status, and they are not even as good as guards.

"Now the alliance has determined that Yuan Chang is a rebel, but there is no way to know what his strength is. Now, the alliance has ordered not to have any conflict with Yuan Chang until he finds out the truth. Otherwise, Elder Ben will definitely take action personally and kill those few people, hum!"

The news that Yuan Chang is a rebel has spread all over the Shuntian Alliance, but after Zhao Tongtian escaped back to the Shuntian Alliance's lair last time, he bluntly said how powerful Yuan Chang is, and all the people under his command are not bad. Of course, a large part of the reason why Zhao Tongtian said this was to exonerate himself. Although, Zhao Tongtian still failed to escape punishment in the end, and apologized with death. However, the Shuntian League paid more attention to Yuan Chang, after all, several shots were folded in Yuan Chang's hands. If they don't find out the truth and send people to kill Yuan Chang, and then the whole army will be wiped out, I am afraid that the Shuntian Alliance will have a situation of lack of success. Even if Yuan Chang is solved, when the next rebel appears, what will they do to deal with it, will they wait for the other party to grow up, and they will sit back and wait for perdition? Therefore, before dealing with Yuan Chang this time, the Shuntian Alliance must thoroughly investigate Yuan Chang's reality and truth, and there can be no more mistakes. Therefore, Sima Yuantian did not make a move. Otherwise, once the action is made to attract Yuan Chang's attention, Jingzhou's power will be reduced again, although the status of the alliance is low, but it is also an indispensable part. After all, a lot of information in the general alliance has to be transmitted by the alliance, otherwise, the rebels don't know how to deal with others when they appear.

"Uncle and nephew think that as long as we don't reveal our identities, it's not impossible to deal with them secretly. Sima Hui on the side rolled his eyes, but the bad water came out.

"Oh, let's hear it!"

Sima Yuantian didn't have any excited expression, as if he was dispensable for this matter, and after listening to Sima Hui's words, he just said lightly. (To be continued.) )
