Following the light of the flashlight in Mu Xuanqing's hand, I could see the situation around us clearly: we were now standing at the bottom of the ladder, with mud rammed walls on the left and right, and in front of us, there was a long tunnel, the same length and width as the entrance, leading to the depths of the "unknown......

Mu Xuanqing blocked me behind him, shone a flashlight on the tunnel, and whispered, "Take out the knife and follow me." ”

I nodded, clutching the dagger tightly in my hand, nervous again. Although I have been here, after all, I have not "walked away", so it is inevitable that there will be some shadows.

Mu Xuanqing carried a flashlight, bent his waist, and slowly moved towards the depths of the tunnel, I carried a dagger, followed closely behind him, and did not dare to make a sound. After about ten minutes of walking, we came to the end - a steel plate blocked our way.

Mu Xuanqing walked to the steel plate, touched the steel plate with his hand, and knocked it again, and the steel plate made a "dangdang" sound, which echoed a lot in the tunnel.

"Give me the dagger. Mu Xuanqing said without replying. I obediently handed him the dagger and stood behind him again.

I saw him thrust the dagger into a gap on the right side of the steel plate, and swiped it down hard, only to hear a "click", and then Mu Xuanqing gently pushed the steel plate with his hand, and with a "squeak", the steel plate was pushed open like a door.

I looked at this scene in amazement, Mu Xuanqing pointed to the right side of the steel plate - it was an old-fashioned lock, which was already full of rust, the top of the lock had been cut off by Mu Xuanqing with a dagger, and the other half was lying on the ground.

Without the steel plate blocking it, Mu Xuanqing used a flashlight to illuminate the place covered by the steel plate - as I expected, it was the secret room where I was violently beaten! However, to my great surprise, everything in the secret room was gone, and only the empty cement walls of the door remained, and the yellow table paper, wooden tables and glassware all disappeared without a trace.

"How so!" I exclaimed.

Mu Xuanqing's face was also full of incredulity, but he was much calmer than me, walked into the secret room quickly, and began to look around. After searching around to no avail, he walked to the wooden door across the iron plate—the one I had entered. He looked closely at the wooden door, opened it from the inside, and I quickly followed. But I was disappointed again, and the vermilion Dao on the wooden door had also disappeared! But because of the darkness of the secret room, Mu Xuanqing didn't see that I was surprised to open my mouth the size of two eggs, and carefully groped the wooden door with my hands.

After groping for a while, Mu Xuanqing's brows were so tight that he could squeeze a fly to death, "It's all gone, it's really amazing, there is nothing left." Mu Xuanqing hatefully squeezed out this sentence from between his teeth.

I don't know if it was because he was unwilling, or because he tried to find clues from the wooden door, Mu Xuanqing used a dagger to cut off a piece from the wooden door and put the wooden block in his pocket. Just as he lowered his head to put the wooden block, I suddenly saw a dark shadow flash in the tunnel I was walking through!

"Who! who's there!" I yelled at the tunnel, Mu Xuanqing heard my roar, raised his head suddenly, didn't know what to curse in his mouth, took my hand and rushed towards the corridor. Originally, I had walked for nearly 20 minutes in the tunnel with steps, but it took us about five minutes to reach the top, when the black shadow disappeared from the stone door of the corridor. Mu Xuanqing and I rushed to the stone gate, Mu Xuanqing pushed the stone door open, and a sound sounded.

"Squat!" Mu Xuanqing yelled, and I quickly squatted down and hugged my head. After a "jingling" sound, Mu Xuanqing lifted me up and said angrily: "Ostrich, get out of the hole." ”

I lifted my head from my arm, my face flushed with shame, and I gave him a fierce look, not daring to say anything.

Mu Xuanqing was relieved to see that I was not injured, and his face returned to solemnity again: "This time I ran into a hard stubble." ”

I looked down at the ground and gasped: on the cold concrete floor, there were five short iron arrows, and the tips of the arrows were still shining with a terrifying cold light, which, if hit, would be instantly turned into honeycomb coal.

Mu Xuanqing put away the five iron arrows, and at this time, there was the sound of the aunt scolding and a burst of footsteps in the corridor. Mu Xuanqing immediately pulled me into the tunnel and slammed the stone door shut.

"Let's go out from that end. Mu Xuanqing whispered to me, turned around and returned to the original way. I didn't dare to stay any longer, for fear that a few iron arrows would come out of nowhere to beat me into honeycomb coal, so I hurriedly followed Mu Xuanqing to the original road.

Ten minutes later, we passed by the empty secret room again, only to hear Mu Xuanqing whisper a curse "grass", and then continued to walk towards the ladder we came down, and I followed him away. When I arrived at the ladder, Mu Xuanqing was afraid that someone would move on it, so he asked me to follow him, got up the ladder first, and climbed up quickly, I didn't dare to slack off, so I hurriedly followed him and climbed out desperately.

Luckily, there was no mechanism at the entrance of the cave, and we got out of it one after the other.

Out of the hole, I sat on the ground, gasping for breath, greedily breathing in the fresh air outside, and then I realized how beautiful the outside world was.

Mu Xuanqing stood beside me, thought for a while, and lifted me from the ground again: "You must have something you didn't tell me." Then he looked at me with burning eyes, as if he wanted to see through my whole being.

My heart sank, it was over, and he found out. When I was thinking about how to explain to him, he let go of me, and the expression on his face softened again, but his tone was not as gentle as before: "It's past 11 o'clock now, and it's not convenient for you to go back, I'll take you to find someone," his tone became colder: "You have to tell me everything you know." ”

I didn't have a choice, I didn't know who he was going to take me to, but one thing I knew was that he was angry at me for concealing it, and in the dead of night, with his skills, I had almost no way to go to heaven and earth.

I pondered a little and took a deep breath: "I'm sorry for what I concealed before," and then I looked at him without giving in: "But this is the first time I've met you, and I have my own troubles for hiding something, so please forgive me." ”

Mu Xuanqing was stunned for a moment, I guess I didn't expect me to be so arrogant,

"What a daring woman you are. He shook his head and said, "Well, I'm going to take you to a helper now, and you'd better tell me everything you know, so that you can make a decision, and please don't hide it anymore this time." ”

I was relieved to hear what he said. Although he didn't show it obviously, I could feel that he was looking at me with some condescension. After all, I am an ordinary student, he is a son of a feng shui clan, and he also saved my life. But after the confrontation just now, although it can't be said that he has completely lowered his body, it has more or less narrowed the distance between us.

"Helper, what helper?" I asked, confused.

"Hehe, you'll know when you arrive, don't worry, I'm not a human trafficker. He smiled helplessly.

I was also a little embarrassed by his jokes, after all, people just saved my life, and tried their best to protect me, but I was a little bit of a villain's belly.

I coughed awkwardly and said, "Okay, that, I'll tell you about that now,"

"Okay, let's talk as we go. After that, Mu Xuanqing took me to the outside of the school.

As I walked, I said, "Here's the thing......"
