With the opening of Duobao Villa, a steady stream of spars was sent to the new site of Canglei Academy on the Tianqing side, part of which was used to rebuild Canglei, and the other part was used to recruit troops and expand the martial arts hall and battle hall of the Duobao Chamber of Commerce.

Continue to uphold the tenet of preferring shortage to indiscriminate, if you want to join the two halls, you must have a certain amount of cultivation, and at the same time, you must be recommended, only people who know the roots and know the bottom are likely to join, even so, the personnel of the two halls quickly broke through hundreds and moved towards the 1,000 mark.

During this period, there were several unidentified people who tried to get close to Zhao Feiyu in vain, but they were either discovered by vigilant members of the Chamber of Commerce, or they were taken down by Gu Yuxia with a thunderous blow, and the previous assassination never happened again.

Therefore, Tang Lang readjusted the personnel layout, and the three branches of Zhantang Greedy Wolf, Lian Zhen and Pojun were distributed in a triangle in the outermost layer, showing a horn to defend Canglei Academy, and Zhao Feiyu's residence was surrounded in the middle by the martial arts hall led by Jiang Dali, protecting Zhao Feiyu's safety layer by layer.

Gu Yuxia was the last line of defense, living less than a hundred zhang away from Zhao Feiyu, and with his powerful strength of the half-step curse emperor, ordinary masters were taken down before they could get close at all.

There are also Father Jiang and several newly recruited forging masters, who have also tempered a lot of handy blades for the two halls of war and martial arts, and over time, the two halls will surely become a great help for the restoration of Tianqing.

Greedy Wolf, Lian Zhen and Po Jun set up camp outside Ziwei City as before, set up three military villages to practice day and night, Rong Xingzhou cultivated the slowest among the three branch masters, and had just reached the sixth rank of martial arts, he was silent on the surface, but he was anxious in his heart, and he was doubling his training every day, which was the hardest.

That evening, he once again tirelessly practiced his martial arts, jumped high, and slammed his fists into the white ruyi stone used for the test, before he could see the power of this blow, the ground under his feet suddenly collapsed into several bottomless holes, and one leg was stuck in it and could not move.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack ......" Rong Xingzhou's first reaction was that someone sneaked into the camp through the tunnel, and while struggling to crawl out of the hole, he shouted the police, and the entire camp suddenly sounded the alarm bell, and dozens of members rushed towards this side, although they were slightly panicked, but they still maintained a formation against the enemy.

"What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and pull me out of this hole!" Rong Xingzhou's leg was stuck, he couldn't use his strength, and he was still trapped in place.

Several members of the Broken Army Branch stepped forward to help him out of the hole in the ground, and after a cursory inspection, it was okay, and after repeated searches on the camp side, nothing unusual was found, so everyone gathered around the hole to study.

"Hey, is there anyone down there?" one of the members shouted into the hole, but no one answered but an echo.

A timid member whispered: "Will the cave here be connected to the underworld, I heard that the underworld is full of man-eating ghosts, so let's leave quickly......"

"! What Hades, it's just a hole in the ground! If I can open an entrance to Hades when I practice, then Hades has nothing to fear. Hurry up and pop up a ghost for us to see!" Rong Xingzhou didn't want people's hearts to be turbulent, so he quickly stopped the man's wild conjecture.

"Go, find some iron pickaxes! Dig some holes and see what's inside! Besides, find someone to tell the president, just say we dug a hole!" Rong Xingzhou continued to instruct and found more people to dig the hole in the ground, only to find that there was something inside.

When Tang Lang heard the inquiry, it was already close to night, the Broken Army Branch was brightly lit, and a cordon had been temporarily set up near the cave, and a fence more than half a person high was simply pierced with tree branches.

"Boss, you're here! Go and have a look with me, I feel like I've dug up some treasure!" As soon as Rong Xingzhou met, he hurriedly pulled Tang Lang and walked inward.

Tang Lang followed the other party over the fence, only to see that the ground had cleared out a large pit several zhang square, and the outline of several walls could be clearly seen at the bottom of the pit, and there was a stone step in the middle of the pit extending downward.

"Have you sent someone down?" Tang Lang turned his head and asked.

Rong Xingzhou shook his head: "I haven't had time yet! I don't know what's going on below, I want to wait for the boss to arrive and listen to your decision!"

Tang Lang approvingly: "Yes, it's not as reckless as before! There is a hole in the ground inexplicably, who knows if it's a blessing or a curse, it's right to be cautious!"

Rong Xingzhou scratched his head embarrassedly and smiled: "Boss, in fact, I'm not cautious, but I'm mainly afraid that after going down, if I break something important, I will be scolded by you!"

Tang Lang couldn't help but wonder, Rong Xingzhou seemed to think of something, and continued: "Boss, don't worry about going down! I cleaned up some things when digging just now, you can see if you can find any clues from them!"

Rong Xingzhou took Tang Lang to the fence on the other side, there were many bricks and rubble fragments on the ground, as well as some broken pots and pots, and there were several stones of different sizes in the middle, the big one was one foot, and the small one was less than three inches.

"Could it be that this is a monument?" Tang Lang felt strange in his heart, and picked up one of the stones to look at it carefully.

It's okay not to look at it, but he was startled when he saw it: "No, there is such a coincidence?"

It turned out that there was a row of small characters engraved on the back of the stone in Tang Lang's hand, and the font was vigorous and powerful, which was the handwriting of Ouyang Xiu that had been imitated before.

Countless strange thoughts set off in his heart, Tang Lang smiled bitterly: "In order to imitate Ouyang Xiu's former residence, he scanned the authentic Ouyang Xiu he found into the system, and then the system manipulated his body to simulate, so that he made a plaque that was difficult to distinguish between true and fake, and used the power of time to make the plaque old, and finally succeeded in fooling it out." Who knew that there was really a monument related to Ouyang Xiu in front of him, this is really the will of heaven in the dark!"

Since he recognized that it was everyone's genuine handiwork, Tang Lang carefully cleaned up the remaining stones, and instructed Rong Xingzhou to continue to search for similar stones, and finally used the stones to reluctantly put together a stone tablet in the middle of the night, which was densely engraved with more than 100 words.

"Contemptible Ouyang Xiu, from the ancient books, I found that this is a relic of a predecessor before the Tianlan Empire, which has a history of nearly a thousand years. I met up with a few friends to explore the ruins of our ancestors, but I didn't want to find ....... A few friends turned against each other because of this, and they were sad!"

"This place is extremely ominous, even a cursed place, and it ...... I and several friends are seriously ill because of this, there is no cure, if future generations see this monument, remember not to go deep into it, bury this place as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late to regret! Ouyang is a writer!"

After hearing this, Rong Xingzhou was shocked and said: "Bad luck, I actually dug up such a thing, I thought it was some kind of treasure! Boss, I went and ordered the brothers to bury it back as it was, camp."

We can't keep it here, we're moving east!"

"Don't worry!" Tang Lang muttered secretly in his heart. Because the stele is incomplete, it is unknown what happened underground, but he always felt that things were not so simple, why his friends turned against him, and how he was seriously ill, all of which were vague, and there may be other deep meanings.

Tang Lang walked to the side of the steps at the bottom of the pit, and with a flick of his hand, a fireball flew straight towards the depths of the tunnel, but it flew out less than ten zhang and hit the wall of the passage.

"System, start terrain scanning with all your might!" Tang Lang secretly activated the system, dividing some of his thoughts to communicate with him.

Soon, the system transmitted the scanning results within the coverage back to his mind, pretending to be meditating, Tang Lang saw that the winding tunnel led to the ground for nearly a hundred zhang, and at the bottom was a small underground dark room, at least the size of a dozen rooms.

"Is there any strange energy, or is there something moving?" Tang Lang was still a little creepy when he thought of the curse that Ouyang Xiu had said.

"No!" the system confirmed, one by one, "There are no energy fluctuations in the ground, and nothing is moving!"

Tang Lang settled down, since he didn't notice anything abnormal, how could he rest assured if he didn't go down and see: "Senior Ouyang, copying your ink treasure before was purely helpless, please bless me with good luck and resolve your regrets in life!"

As soon as Rong Xingzhou heard that Tang Lang was about to go down, he immediately stopped him: "Boss, you can't go down! If you have to see the situation below, let me go down first, in case there is a situation, you can pick me up above!"

"Don't make trouble for me! Your boss and I have never experienced any battles, how can I be bluffed by a small stone tablet! Besides, although Ouyang Xiu is a master of poetry and books, I have never heard of any cultivation from him, but he is just a scholar who has no power to restrain the chicken, and the danger to him is not worth mentioning in my eyes!" Tang Lang flatly refused, mainly worried that if something happened, it would be easier for him to get out.

Tang Lang insisted again and again, and Rong Xingzhou didn't dare to persuade him anymore, so he had to agree that after going down for an hour, no matter what the situation was, he must return first, otherwise he would immediately rush down with a large number of people.

Tang Lang understood his intentions, and after instructing him to strengthen his vigilance, he took out a few spars as lighting, walked down the steps step by step, and disappeared into the depths of the ground......

A person like this has explored many times, but it is the first time to go deep into the ground, Tang Lang knows that there is a system to assist, but he is still a little frightened, and every once in a while he will ask: "System, are you there?" Is there any movement around, and how long does it take for the passage to reach the end......

I thought of the movies and the middle of the previous life, every time this kind of secret passage was full of various mechanisms, constantly letting the system repeatedly scan the external changes, and even the extra crack on the steps was not spared, but nothing happened, and I came to the door of the large secret room I had just scanned.

"Someone will dare to venture here, but I must remind you that there is a shocking secret behind you, and you may never be at peace in the future, and it is too late to regret it now, so leave quickly!"

It is another stone tablet engraved with handwriting, which is still used by Ouyang Xiu to warn future generations.
