Chapter 112: The End of the Secret Passage
Qin Lu's head was a little dizzy. It was dark around him and he couldn't see the situation clearly, and he could only tell from the sound above him that he should have fallen into a secret passage.
Merely...... Isn't that a bit exaggerated......
It was not only the strength that was strengthened by the regurgitating energy of summoned beasts such as Fu Immortal Immortals, but also the spiritual and physical strength of Qin Lu corresponding to his own rank.
It stands to reason that it was just an ordinary fall, and it should be painless for Qin Lu. But after he came to his senses, Qin Lu felt a burst of swelling pain in his buttocks, and the pain made him unstoppable. Obviously, the height of the secret passage is by no means as shallow as three or five meters.
"Brother, are you okay? Don't scare me!"
"Senior brother, are you still underneath?"
The shouts of Gao Yunliang and others kept coming from the top of his head, Qin Lu rubbed his buttocks, reluctantly stood up, and grinned: "Don't shout, I'm fine!"
"What is the situation underground?" Gao Yunliang said again: "Do you want me to pull you up?"
I want to know what's going on!
Thinking with his heels, Qin Lu also guessed that this was the secret passage that the mysterious man said. I was not in a hurry to go out, so I casually perfunctory the above sentence and looked hard into the depths of the secret passage.
It was midnight, and the moon was obscured by the clouds, so there was very little light coming down. When he was on the ground, many buildings around him were on fire, and Qin Lu could still see the clear road.
However, there are open spaces around the ancestral hall, and the light is already dim, and falling into the secret passage is as if it is blocking the black cloth in front of him, Qin Lu only knows that there should be a road ahead, but if he wants to see it carefully, it is no less than climbing to the sky, and it is extremely difficult.
"I can't see the way, any of you have a fire break, drop one!"
Qin Lu wanted to ask for help, but as soon as the words fell, there was a pop next to him, but Zhou Tong couldn't bear it and jumped in directly.
"What kind of fire break do you want, such a secret passage, there must be something illuminated, just look for it!"
With that, Zhou Tong strode out.
Martial cultivators have their own way of observing their surroundings. Zhou Tong's five senses far surpassed those of everyone present, although he couldn't see the things around him clearly, but his spiritual sense was released from his body, and he could still be unblocked.
This is like the ultrasonic positioning of bats, in Zhou Tong's perceptual world, everything in the passage has its own outline, and soon, he found several holes in the walls on both sides of the passage.
"Found it!"
Not big, not too small, boxy shape. Zhou Tong immediately realized that what was placed in the recess was the lampstand used for lighting.
"Gurrah"
Zhou Tong reached out and touched the hole, put it under his nose and sniffed it, and made sure that the fuel in his hand was fuel, so he took out the fire fold and ignited the oil lamp.
If there is a first, there will be a second. After a while, half of the oil lamps in the channel were lit by Zhou Tong. Qin Lu's eyes finally regained some light.
This is an extremely wide passageway. The place where Qin Lu fell was the entrance, about two stories high, and the passage made a ninety-degree bend at the entrance, leading straight in the other direction, like a capital "L".
The inside of the passage was a little shorter, only more than two meters high, but the width reached an astonishing half a zhang, and even Qin Lu and Zhou Tong fought side by side, without the slightest feeling of crowding.
"It's so deep...... There's definitely something good in there!"
At first glance, it seemed that such a hidden place was hidden, and Zhou Tong instantly became interested. Without waiting for Qin Lu to react, a person ran in in high spirits.
Qin Lu didn't dare to act so rashly, waited in place for a while, picked up Qin Baozhen first, and waited for Gao Yunliang to also enter the secret passage, and then went to chase Zhou Tong.
The village that had just been breached, corpses everywhere, and a secret passage where I didn't know what was hidden. The things experienced in the past day have put a lot of pressure on everyone, and all the way through, everyone tensed their nerves, lest they step on the wrong step and step on some fatal mechanism.
"Strange, why am I so restless, I always feel that something is wrong...... perhaps because he felt that the atmosphere was a little depressing, Gao Yunliang suddenly talked about the previous search for the ancestral hall.
"Senior brother, don't you think there's a problem? I searched under the table, and I knocked on the wall several times, why didn't we find any mechanism, but it was Zhou Tong's guy, who threw something casually and smashed out the secret passage......
How could Qin Lu not think of this, when he checked just now, he and his sister Qin Baozhen searched for the area of the offering table, not to mention the place near the wall, that is, the floor under everyone's feet, he also knocked it one by one, and there was no abnormality at all. Now that he has fallen, he is even more surprised than Gao Yunliang.
I couldn't think of a reason, but Qin Lu instinctively felt that the reason why the organ was touched should have something to do with the snake fragment that Zhou Tong threw over. Because just before falling, he keenly felt a wave of spiritual energy, although faint, but conspicuous enough.
"Maybe there are prerequisites for triggering...... Qin Lu thought for a while, and said uncertainly: "After all, this is Mojia Village, the birthplace of the mechanism, maybe they can only trigger the mechanism in their own way, you know, like a special aura circuit or something......"
"Perhaps......"
Gao Yunliang didn't dwell on it for too long, he originally asked casually, it was the best result to find the mechanism, and the rest didn't matter.
Everyone went all the way down like this, no one knew how deep the passage was, and they didn't know what was waiting for them at the end of the passage, only the lights on both sides reminded Qin Lu that Zhou Tong was still ahead.
Gradually, the road became narrower and narrower, and everyone seemed to enter a gradually shrinking pocket, and at first three people could walk side by side, but after ten minutes, only one person could barely pass.
Strangely, the narrow passage was only a few meters, and after that, it soon became wider, then narrowed and widened...... After repeating this twice, everyone finally saw Zhou Tong, who entered the passage one step ahead of them.
"What are you looking at?"
Qin Lu came later, looking forward from behind, he only saw Zhou Tong's back, although he was only chest high, but the Fire Demon God floating in mid-air on the side still inevitably blocked most of his vision.
Everyone bypassed Zhou Tong, who was silent, and walked to the side of the Flame Demon God. Suddenly, Qin Lu felt a scorching breath, different from the Hell Flame, it was pure, blazing flame breath, hot as if it had entered a furnace, even the surrounding air was hot, just a few breaths made Qin Lu feel unbearable, and his throat almost didn't smoke.
