Chapter One Thousand and Twenty-Five

Xiao'er and Shangguan Xuanyi walked into this ordinary farmhouse courtyard together.

The three of them looked around the house, and there was nothing abnormal, so they went their separate ways.

Xiao'er and Shangguan Xuanyi went to the kitchen, and Zhao Yong went to the backyard to have a look.

The whole courtyard has a strong atmosphere of life, there are a few fresh cucumbers and some vegetables in the kitchen, the water tank is full, just like getting up in the morning, ready for the day, although there is no one in the house, but these things are secretly telling everyone that the master is just going out for a while, and will come back soon.

There were a few burned firewood in the stove, Xiao'er lifted the lid of the pot, and there were still a few steamed buns in it, the heat had dissipated, and only the water beads stuck to the lid and the edge of the pot.

"The family must have deliberately laid down this illusion of daily life in the morning, and then secretly left. Xiao'er put the lid back into the pot and spoke.

Just now, the courtyard door was locked from the inside, and they arranged all this with such a deliberate purpose, the purpose was not to alarm the secret guards, and to leave quietly, which can only show that there must be a secret passage in this courtyard.

"Hmm. Shangguan Xuanyi nodded in response, he looked around to see where there was a secret passage entrance, and Xiao'er thought of it.

"Master, there is a secret passage here!" Zhao Yong's voice came from the backyard.

Xiao'er and Shangguan Xuanyi quickly walked over.

A cellar was dug in the backyard, and Zhao Yong was standing at the entrance of the cellar at the moment.

"Master, there is a secret passage entrance in the cellar. Zhao Yong was holding an oil lamp in each hand, which should have been found from the house.

"Let's go!" Shangguan Xuanyi took one of the oil lamps in his hand and walked down first, Xiao'er followed behind him with a sword, and Zhao Yong also held an oil lamp in one hand and a sword in the other, following Xiao'er to protect her rear.

The inside of the cellar was dark, but it was also very dry. It is full of sundries, especially bamboo products, and it was previously investigated that the man sells bamboo products for a living, which should be made by him to hide people's ears, but the food is not seen. It seems that they were taken together.

In one place, the debris was cleared, revealing a small dark door with some ancient graphics on it.

The small door is very small, only one person can pass through, and the small door is also very short, Xiao'er is the shortest of the three, and she has to bend down to pass, not to mention her long body.

"Master, I'll go in first!" Zhao Yong said fearing that there was danger inside.

"No, you just need to protect the princess. Shangguan Xuanyi pulled out his sword, and the sword body reflected a cold light, sharp and full of murderous aura.

When Xiao'er heard this, she pursed her lips, her martial arts are even more powerful than Zhao Yong, do you need his protection!

In the dark, Shangguan Xuanyi naturally didn't notice Xiao'er's expression, but no matter how powerful Xiao'er's martial arts were, even if she was invincible in the world, he also felt that she needed protection. Shangguan Xuanyi inserted his sword into the crack of the door, and then pried open the small dark door.

A cold wind blew in through the door, and the voices of the guards were heard.

"Twelve, they're inside!" Zhao Yong said when he heard the familiar voice of his colleague.

Shangguan Xuanyi opened the door with the hilt of his sword, and Zhao Yong hurriedly used the sword body to resist the black door to prevent it from closing.

This door is pitch black, and the pictures and texts on it are very strange, who knows if it is poisonous or not, so neither of them dares to touch him directly with their hands.

"Be careful, follow me closely!" Shangguan Xuanyi turned back to Xiao'er and admonished. He picked it up in one hand and held the oil lamp in the other, and there was no hand to pull her anymore.

The passage was dark, but not too narrow, allowing two people to pass side by side.

"Hmm. Xiao'er looked at the pictures and texts carved on the wall by the light of the oil lamp, and responded casually.

The words on the wall are incomprehensible to Xiao'er, but some of the pictures are very bloody, and they look extremely infiltrating in this dark environment.

In the secret passage, a cold wind blows from time to time.

"The exit of this secret passage should be in the wilderness. Xiao'er guessed.

Because of the wind, the passage is neither damp nor musty.

Shangguan Xuanyi nodded.

The three of them soon came to a fork in the road.

"I said twelve, your mark is everywhere, is it useful? Haven't we broken through the mechanism of the secret passage back and forth a dozen times, and all the hidden weapons in the mechanism have been used up, and then we are still going around in circles! We can't get out!" At this moment, the sound of the eighteen empty came from somewhere.

"Otherwise, what good way do you want to take me out!" the cool voice of the twelve sounded.

Then there was no other sound.

Apparently Eighteen is speechless.

"Poof!" Zhao Yong smiled unkindly, he was able to break into the mechanism, and the hidden weapons that broke into the mechanism were all used up, and he was still trapped in place and couldn't get out, how unlucky it was!

Xiao'er's eyes were also dyed with a smile, she and Shangguan Xuanyi glanced at each other, and then the two of them said in unison: "Left!"

After choosing the fork on the left, the three of them saw arrows, darts, and blood stains all over the place.

Shangguan Xuanyi used the tip of his sword to pick open those hidden weapons and clear a way for Xiao'er to pass through.

Xiao'er kept an eye on her feet as she noticed the murals on the walls.

Looking at it, she actually had the illusion that she was the person in the painting, and then a violent and impulse to tear up naturally rose in her heart.

Looking too much of these murals can easily make people nervous and hallucinate.

"There is a problem with the painting on the wall, Zhao Yong, if you think there is something wrong with your thoughts, don't look at it. Xiao'er said to Zhao Yong.

Xiao'er herself also had a lot of negative emotions in her heart, such as being very irritable and eager to resist, betrayal, tearing, and bloody blades!

But if you don't look at it, you can't do it, there is a formation here, and the key to breaking the formation should be on the painting on the wall if she guesses correctly!

This requires looking at all the paintings on the wall.

I don't know who would have thought of using the twists and turns of the secret passage and these weird mural arrays!

If you want to break the formation, you have to look at the paintings, but the more you look down, the more those paintings will control your mind and make you lose yourself!

If you don't look at the paintings, you will be trapped here and starve to death, and if you look at the paintings, you may kill yourself! No matter what, the result will be death.

The three of them had walked for another quarter of an hour or so, and then they saw the Dark Twelve.

"Who!" As soon as Shangguan Xuanyi and the others appeared, they drew their swords vigilantly and aimed at them.

Then when he saw that it was his master, Eighteen was almost moved to tears: Master, you have finally found it!

If he stays in this hellish place any longer, he will go insane if he doesn't die.
