Chapter 177: The Road in the Cellar

There was no movement over there soon, and he estimated that Ming Yuchu had already gone down to the cellar.

Bai Xiu originally planned to wait for her to leave and then go to take a look, but the next development of things was far beyond his expectations - he waited for almost half an hour, and Ming Yuchu hadn't come out yet.

Did she have an accident, or was there a secret passage leading directly to the outside, otherwise a small cellar was worth her time inside?

Countless thoughts crossed his mind, and finally he made up his mind and leaned over carefully.

In front of him was indeed an ordinary cellar mouth, about a meter square, because there was no light in the living room, and it was dark below, and he couldn't see anything.

Bai Xiu listened intently for a moment, there was silence in the darkness, only the crickets in the courtyard occasionally chirped, announcing its existence.

He threw down a tissue box at hand, and with a soft sound it fell to the bottom of the cellar, which was only two or three meters high.

Seeing that there was no danger, he also jumped.

As soon as he arrived in the cellar, a damp, pungent musty smell came to his face, Bai Xiu covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve, and turned on the flashlight while carefully probing.

The layout below is simpler, with a length and width of three meters, because there has been no one living on it for a long time, and it is also empty, except for the concrete floor, only the cement wall.

Where will the mechanism be?

He looked around, and soon found a clue, there was a clear gap in the east wall, it looked very neat, not like the wall was naturally cracked.

Bai Xiu paced slowly, and pushed it tentatively, but he really pushed it, he breathed a sigh of relief, and directly pushed the more than one-meter-high blocking wall to the bottom.

The situation behind the wall can be seen at a glance, whether it is a passage or a secret room, there is no one, only a space less than half a meter deep, not to mention people, it is enough to hide something.

Where will the first repentance be?

Bai Xiu felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart, he had already realized that things might not be so simple.

But one thing he was sure of was that she would never disappear into thin air, and there must be some clues that he had overlooked.

Bai Xiu was about to search carefully, when a strange feeling came to him, he subconsciously raised his head, and a colorful face at the entrance quickly shrank back.

Someone!

Before he could turn over and chase after him, the floor tile that had been lifted was instantly covered back, and then there was the sound of someone moving a heavy object, and nine times out of ten the other party completely blocked the exit.

Trapped!

Bai Xiu stopped helplessly, and blamed him for being careless, thinking that there was no one else here except him and Ming Yuchu, and it seemed that the only way out at the moment was to find out where Ming Yuchu was hiding.

As he had planned, he searched patiently in the cellar, but found nothing in the end.

It reminded him of the situation in the basement of an abandoned office building in another town, could it be that the mechanism in the cellar needed something specific to open?

More questions followed, if this mechanism was made by Ye Xuan and Wei Wei themselves, what did they want to do?

If it is someone else, what is the origin of these people and what is their purpose?

Is Ming Yuchu also an insider?

Bai Xiu secretly decided that when he went out, he must ask Ye Xuan, if everything here was not from him and Wei Wei, then the situation would be a little complicated, and the person who built this house was afraid that there was some ulterior secret.

Of course, he had to be able to get out before that.

Bai Xiu laughed at himself and thought, if the other party really wanted to trap him, and no one knew his whereabouts, Ye Xuan and the others might not be able to come here one day to take a look, even if he died in the cellar, it was estimated that no one would find out.

He suddenly felt a little sad about himself, his parents were missing, and he would try to find their whereabouts, but he was gone, and who cared?

His aunt and his eldest brother have the Phoenix Sect, and his second brother is the murderer of Bai Yu, even in Fang Xin's eyes, he is just a liar.

Unconsciously, a feeling of powerlessness came up from the bottom of his heart, Bai Xiu let himself lean against the cold cement wall and slowly closed his eyes.

He had a strange dream.

"Brother......" The young boy's childish voice echoed in his ears, and it grew farther and farther away, and finally disappeared.

"Wait a minute!" he shouted, snapping his eyes open and looking closer, he was no longer in the cellar he had been.

I'm out?

He thought to himself, looked left and right, and found that the illusion around him was completely unfamiliar.

It's a small room, with dilapidated walls snaking in countless mottled spots, reflecting the traces of time.

There was no window in this room, and the small door of one person wide was gently covered, and Bai Xiu pushed it, but unfortunately it was locked from the outside.

"You devil!" suddenly came the mournful cry of a young woman behind the door, and the door shook violently—someone suddenly leaned in.

Somehow, Bai Xiu didn't dare to come out, so he only put his eyes on the crack in the door and looked.

In an instant, the light of the knife flashed in his sight, and a man outside the door fell silently.

A knife appeared.

It was getting closer and closer, so close that Bai Xiu could barely recognize that it was the Demon Breaking Blade.

The woman cried bitterly, as if she wanted to rush over, but her body leaned closer and tighter on the other side of the door.

"Please spare my child, I promise you everything...... You are also a mother, why do you want to kill us, I will definitely take him far away, and I will never tell your secret!"

The woman's words made the other party's hand move slightly, and then, Bai Xiu heard a familiar voice—at least in his memory—speak coldly: "Only the dead keep secrets. ”

The Demon Breaker Blade swung down without hesitation, and between the splatters of flesh and blood, the woman was already silent.

The man paused for a moment and slowly left.

Only then did Bai Xiu realize that he had dreamed, and before he could think about it, there was a very light knock outside the door.

The woman did not die immediately, struggling to reach in a hand and hand him something.

She said with resentment: "Ruyi, you must remember that her child is called Bai Xiu, one day you will kill him, let her also taste the pain of losing her loved ones, and avenge your brother for us!"

Wishful?

Zheng Ruyi?

Bai Xiu immediately remembered this name, could it be that the child was not taken captive by his parents back then, but was hidden by his own parents?

So how did his aunt know about it?

Did the child come to her later? His birth certificate was given to her by himself?

While thinking about it, a familiar feeling struck, and the scene in front of him gradually dissolved, Bai Xiu knew that this dream was coming to an end soon.

When Bai Xiu woke up again, it was still dark in front of him, and he subconsciously looked up to see that the exit of the cellar was still blocked.

It seems that not only did the man not come back, but even Ming Zhichu completely disappeared.

However, his attention was not on this matter at the moment, and after the dream just now, he thought of a question - the reason why he had these dreams, could the culprit be the Demon Breaker Blade?

This was not an unfounded speculation, after all, whether he dreamed of his father, or his mother, or even the Heavenly Cultivator Venerable who he had never met, this sword always appeared in his dreams.

Bai Xiu took out the Demon Breaking Blade and observed it carefully, he still had a guess in his heart, could it also have the same effect as listening to soul water, and could record everything he saw one by one?

And it had already recognized him as the master, and they were so connected that at some point, he inadvertently read these memories.

In other words, what did happen before?

Bai Xiu's gaze kept wandering over the knife, and when he saw the extremely simple and unique pattern, an inexplicable sense of familiarity crept in—where did he seem to have seen this pattern?

He thought for a few seconds and reacted, he had indeed seen these patterns, and he and Fang Xuanqian had similar ones on the two jade talismans they had found in the White Tomb Secret Land.

This thought flashed, and Bai Xiu hurriedly took out the one that had been quietly hidden before.

He glanced at it, and sure enough.

Although this jade talisman was only the size of a little finger, the pattern on it was surprisingly clear, and it was really exactly the same as the one on the Demon Breaker Blade.

Could this be a coincidence?

The answer is obviously no, the jade talisman is the same as the Demon Breaking Blade, he knows at a glance that it is absolutely extraordinary, how can the two not "collide" so easily, right?

So the question is, these two things should come from the same place, the ghost girl Si Yin said that the Demon Breaking Blade originated from the Spirit Granting Ancient Realm, could it be that this jade talisman is also a spiritual thing?

Bai Xiu gently held it up, even though the light here was very dim, he could still see the faint flow of light in its body, as if it was alive.

What's even more peculiar is that there seems to be some kind of induction between him and it, and the spiritual power in his spiritual veins actually rises and falls with the streamer.

Maybe it's really as Fang Xuanqian said, he has a spirit in his body, and this jade talisman is its body, so they are so intimate.

Bai Xiu thought about it and tied it to the lanyard of the Ming greedy wolf Yuque, so that he wouldn't accidentally lose it.

However, he still had no clue about the person named Zheng Ruyi, and he could only wait for him to go back to Bai's house to inquire about Bai Yan.

What he has to do now is to continue to search for the hidden exit in the cellar, save himself and see what Ming Zhichu's intentions are.

Bai Xiu stood up and searched again, and after half an hour, he finally found a movable brick in the south near the top of the cellar.

He pressed the brick down, revealing a gap that could fit one person through, and he grabbed the corner with his demon-breaking blade and slid into it with a swing.

The space inside was very small, and he could only crawl in backwards little by little, that is, he moved a distance of about five meters, and his lower body suddenly hung in the air.

Bai Xiu slid with the trend, climbed the edge with both hands, and the whole person hung outside, he looked down and saw that less than two meters below was actually a big road.

This is not an ordinary dirt road, the ground is smooth and level, and it is actually a newly repaired cement road.

How could there be such a road underneath this residential area in the south of the city?

Could this hidden, unknown path lead to the reason why the teachings have left and never returned?

Bai Xiu's thoughts were racing, and he jumped down lightly.

In front of you is a passage that resembles a mine, and the road takes the place of the rails and stretches infinitely to both ends.

He turned on his flashlight and looked, the road was covered with ruts and footprints, and he couldn't find any valuable clues.

Bai Xiu didn't know where Ming Yuchu went, and in the end he had no choice but to choose the direction leading to the city.

Of course, he didn't completely act according to God's eyes, after all, Qucheng has been expanding over the years, and if there is any secret place, nine times out of ten it will be placed in the city where the situation is relatively stable.

And Ming Zhichu should also go there.

To be on the safe side, he turned off his flashlight and cautiously groped his way inside next to the side of the road.

I don't know how long I walked - Bai Xiu estimated the distance, he had almost reached the center of the city, but the road under his feet was still infinitely winding, as if there was no end.

This is so strange, is it going to go through the whole Qu City?
