The two returned to the backyard and circled the dry well a few times.

The wellhead is very wide, about half a zhang in diameter.

Extremely deep, Zhang Xiaopaw looked down, and couldn't see the bottom at a glance. You must know that his subtle state of mind can already cover a distance of two hundred steps, which means that this well is at least two hundred steps deep.

"Why is this well so deep?" Zhang Xiaopaw asked with a frown.

"Is this what you said wrong?" Wan Qiuqing couldn't help but feel crying and laughing when he heard this, and said in his heart that it was no wonder that he had gone around the dry well a few times and didn't see anything wrong, it turned out that what Zhang Xiaopaw said was wrong actually meant this, so he smiled and explained to Zhang Xiaopaw: "Yancheng is located on the South Ridge, and the groundwater is extremely deep from the ground, so every well in Yancheng is wide and deep. Especially in the central city at the top of the South Ridge, the well is particularly wide and deep. If you want to dig such a well, you have to use at least ten cultivators who are proficient in the Earth Domain, and it will take half a year to a year to complete it. So there is a well at home, which is a symbol of high status in Yancheng. ”

"No wonder I can't see it all the way. Zhang Xiaopaw suddenly understood, and after speaking, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the well rope and rocker, and said: "This well should have been dry for a long time, but you can see that the well rope and rocker have not accumulated a lot of dust on them, which means that they have not stopped working." ”

Wan Qiuqing frowned slightly, and said, "It may also be that the servants at home are looking forward to a miracle life, and they will shake the bucket down every few days to see if there is any water." For example, in the past six months, every morning before I get up and open my eyes, I look forward to the heavy rain pouring outside the window when I open it. Sometimes I want to take a bucket to see if there is water in the well. ”

"I don't think so. Zhang Xiaopaw shook his head and said, "Only those who are full of food and have nothing to do will have the leisure to do this, it is not easy for servants to eat and drink, how can they waste their strength to shake the well." ”

"—Are you turning around the corner and scolding me for having enough to eat?" Wan Qiuqing asked with the corner of his eyes twitching.

"-You think about it too much, I don't dare to lend me ten guts!" Zhang Xiaopaw said with a smile on his face.

"Then what do you think is going on?" Wan Qiuqing looked at the bottom of the dark well, in fact, Zhang Xiaopai's analysis had already touched the suspicion in her heart, and what she said was just some possibilities in passing.

"I think there's something strange at the bottom of the well. Zhang Xiaopaw said bluntly.

"You mean there's a secret room hidden in the well?"

"Possibly. Zhang Xiaopaw nodded.

"Go down and see. Wan Qiuqing said, and with a movement of her mind, the wind element condensed at the feet of her and Zhang Xiaopaw, dragging the bodies of the two of them over the edge of the well and falling down the wide well.

As the fall deepened, the light in the well became dimmer and darkened, and finally it was completely pitch black. But a flame suddenly burst out of thin air, illuminating the black

Dark. Of course, for Zhang Xiaopaw, it is the same with or without flames, and under the cover of the subtle state of mind, he can see the scenery in the well clearly.

"Madam, can I take the liberty of asking you a question?" Zhang Xiaopaw suddenly broke the silence.

Say. ”

"How many elemental realms have you comprehended?"

"Seven or eight, forgot. ”

Zhang Xiaopaw opened his mouth in surprise, and said in his heart No wonder it was so powerful, a sword slashed out and suddenly burst out the power of seven or eight elemental realms, who can withstand this.

Seeing Zhang Xiaopaw's greedy appearance, Wan Qiu Qingwan smiled and said, "Each has its own strengths, there is nothing to envy." I ask you, if you could exchange it, would you be willing to exchange your subtle state of mind for my seven or eight elemental realms?"

"Don't change!" Zhang Xiaopaw shook his head without thinking, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth hooked up and smiled: "Found it." ”

"Where?" Wan Qiuqing asked.

"About twenty paces down, there's a brick behind you, which should be movable. Zhang Xiaopaw said.

Wan Qiuqing fell twenty steps down the distance according to his words, turned around to face the wall of the well, and searched carefully around the city, but there were no movable bricks that Zhang Xiaopu said. Because each brick is covered with a thick layer of dry moss, there is no difference to be seen.

I only heard Zhang Xiaopu say: "It's the piece on your right, yes, it's that piece." ”

"How did you see that there was a problem with this brick?" Wan Qiuqing found the problem brick that Zhang Xiaopaw said, stared at it and observed it carefully for a while, but there was still no problem, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"There's a handprint inside the moss, someone must have pressed it a long, long time ago. Zhang Xiaopaw replied.

"You can see this?" Wan Qiuqing said speechlessly.

"There are gaps in the moss, and my subtle state of mind can see through it. ”

"It's no wonder that the famous thieves since ancient times are all guys with subtle moods, because in subtle moods, traps, secret rooms, etc., nothing can be hidden. Wan Qiuqing said, and at the same time pressed his hand on the moss stone brick, and slowly pressed it hard. The stone bricks really sank inward, about five inches deep, and suddenly heard a click in the stone wall, as if it had touched a certain opportunity, and then the stone wall in front of Wan Qiuqing began to rotate, and there was a clicking grinding sound.

Wan Qiuqing took a step back, and the blue and white sword was horizontal in front of him, in case there was a sudden danger behind the stone wall.

Under the vigilant gaze of the two, the stone wall cracked, revealing a square, pitch-black hole less than half a zhang long and wide, which could only accommodate one person squatting or crawling.

"There's someone inside!" Zhang Xiaopu's expression suddenly became serious, and he said in a voice that only Wan Qiuqing could hear

。

His subtle state of mind stretched down the narrow passage and saw a stone chamber. The stone room is illuminated with night pearls, and the tall bookshelves and recesses on the surrounding walls are filled with books and materials.

On one side of the stone room, beside a bar-shaped table, sat a dozen pale-skinned, skinny men, who were flipping through the scrolls, sometimes writing and drawing.

Zhang Xiaopaw is not very literate and doesn't know what they write, but he is sure that these people have not written anything good, because they are all golden-eyed people with big teeth.

"Who is it?" Wan Qiuqing asked.

"Big Tooth Man. Zhang Xiaopaw replied coldly.

"How many?"

"There were fifteen people who could see it. There was a lot of space in it, and I couldn't see the end, and I didn't know if there were anyone else. The room was full of bookshelves, and they were sitting at the table flipping through the scrolls, writing and drawing. Zhang Xiaopaw recounted.

When Wan Qiuqing heard this, his eyes lit up violently, and he couldn't hide his excitement and said, "It seems that the Xue family is their main stronghold in Yancheng." Pawn, you've done a great job!"

"Be careful, someone is coming out!" Zhang Xiaopaw said urgently, "I should have heard the sound of the secret door opening and came out to investigate the situation." However, this person didn't seem to be nervous at all, probably thinking that it was a secret door opened by their own people. ”

"They have been hiding in Yancheng for more than 20 years, and they have never had an accident, and over time, they naturally let their guard down. Wan Qiuqing said, and then under Zhang Xiaopu's surprised gaze, he slowly turned into golden eyes.

Zhang Xiaopaw was stunned for a moment before she understood her intentions, and wanted to learn from Wan Qiuqing to change her appearance, but was pushed to the side of the stone gate by Wan Qiuqing to manipulate the power of the wind and hid.

"The door to the abyss and hell has finally opened from the outside, has the end of Dayu finally arrived?" An extremely hoarse and excited voice suddenly sounded in the dark corridor.

Wan Qiuqing and Zhang Xiaopaw glanced at each other and did not respond. Listening to this person's words, it may be that there is an agreement with the people outside, and the opening of the secret door from the outside is the moment when they are difficult for Dayu.

"Lao Du, is that you?" the voice in the corridor heard no one answering outside, and his tone revealed suspicion.

"Uncle Shi, it's me. Wan Qiuqing suddenly opened his mouth and shouted crisply. She couldn't help but be secretly proud of her quick move, and turned her head to look at Zhang Xiaopaw, wanting to appreciate his praise and admiration expression, but saw Zhang Xiaopaw's eyes glaring like a cow and his mouth wide open, as if she had seen an extremely shocking picture.

Zhang Xiaopaw did see an extremely shocked picture, he saw a man in the stone room carrying tea into his subtle state of mind, and this man's appearance he had seen in the City Lord's Mansion, it was Qi Yoyo's eldest brother Qi Changfeng.
