Chapter 022: Lu Family, Lu Yuanheng
The underground passage is very damp, and the perennial unventilated environment makes the passage filled with an almost unbearable stench, but fortunately, there is a golden goal of the thousand-year-old golden cordyceps that attracts Ma Yuhui's attention...... To be honest, he was almost numb.
When he was chased and killed by the Lu family evolutionaries, he even drilled through the sewers, and he was still afraid of this stench?
All the way, according to the code provided by Bai Meng, the detector inside the passage was lifted like a bamboo, and Ma Yuhui came to a three-way intersection without any danger.
"Three straight, nine right, seven left...... Well, go left! After muttering to Bai Meng to tell him, after determining the direction of the route in the passage, Ma Yuhui broke into the last section of the passage.
The entire Bai family didn't know that someone had unknowingly touched the underground of the Bai family's courtyard, in fact, the maintenance code in this passage was only known to a few high-ranking members of the Bai family, and even the deacon of the Bai family was not qualified to know this password!
However, Ma Yuhui didn't know about this situation, even if he knew that this was the case, I am afraid that he would not secretly figure out Bai Meng's true identity...... Because it's not necessary at all.
"Strange, didn't you say that there was a loose steel plate? Why can't I find it? The probe that closed this passage entered it, and Ma Yuhui stretched out his hand to grope on the cold steel plate for a while, but he couldn't find the somewhat loose steel plate that Bai Meng said.
Each plate is tightly connected to the others, and none of them are loose.
After a period of fumbling to no avail, Ma Yuhui frowned strangely, turned his head to look in the direction he came, and after carefully thinking for a while, he said to himself: "That's right, the three-way crossing is forty meters to the left, and the iron wall on the right hand side is ...... I guess it's right here! ”
There was a hazy white light in his eyes, and after Ma Yuhui observed the wall in the darkness for a while, he still didn't find the steel plate that Bai Meng said.
At this moment, Ma Yuhui couldn't help but be a little confused, Bai Meng had no reason to lie to him at all, because it was not beneficial to Bai Meng at all...... Unless, is it the wrong way for yourself?
After recalling it carefully, Ma Yuhui quickly denied his guess, he was quite cautious along the way, and it was impossible for him to make such a low-level mistake as taking the wrong road.
So, where is that loose steel plate? He glanced back and forth over the steel wall twice, and finally Ma Yuhui landed his gaze under his feet and on the top of his head.
"Yes, he said it was on the right hand, but he didn't say that it was on the vertical iron wall, and it was very likely that the loose steel plate was under or above it?" Ma Yuhui muttered secretly for a while, first groping for the steel plate under his feet, but still couldn't find the loose steel plate.
Then he stood up, looked at the top of his head, stood on tiptoe, raised his hand, and pressed lightly on the steel plate above his head, this time really causing him to press a somewhat shaky steel plate.
"It's supposed to be this one!" Firmly locked on the steel plate about forty-eight centimeters long and thirty-eight centimeters wide, Ma Yuhui opened the black schoolbag that was still on his shoulder, took out his dark gold hidden knife from it, and inserted the tip of the knife into the tiny gap with great care, and gently pried it up.
Soon, the steel plate became larger and larger under Ma Yuhui's back and forth, until the last slight click sounded, and the whole steel plate was removed from the top of the passage by Ma Yuhui and gently placed on the ground by him.
"After priing open the steel plate, you can see the soil layer, dig up about one meter along the soil layer, and dig about two meters further to see the roots of the old ginkgo tree......" Recalling Bai Meng's confession in his mind, Ma Yuhui immediately began his own ground mouse life.
There are many high-level evolutionaries in the Bai family, so Ma Yuhui is very safe in the passage, but as long as he starts to destroy the soil layer, there is a danger of exposure, after all, the six senses of the evolutionary are very sensitive, and the movements under the ground cannot be concealed from the perception of high-level evolutionaries.
Therefore, Bai Meng's advice to Ma Yuhui was to start digging between two and four o'clock in the morning every day, and it was best to hide in the passage and not go anywhere at other times, and have a good rest.
For Bai Meng's suggestion, Ma Yuhui also quite agreed, and he didn't want to provoke a Lu family who had not yet solved it, so he would provoke another family that started with a political district!
So, after Ma Yuhui removed the steel plate, he leaned directly against the steel wall in the passage and slowly closed his eyes, waiting for the arrival of two o'clock in the morning.
This kind of taste of waiting in a dark environment can really torture ordinary people to gnash their teeth, but Ma Yuhui is different, even if he stays in this environment, he can find something to do for himself.
While maintaining the muscles near the acupuncture points to continue to move, he was injecting the innate Gang Qi into his ears, listening carefully to all the sounds on the surface, and at the same time, he was also trying to change the arrangement of his facial muscles, trying to change his appearance through this method.
In short, Ma Yuhui, who found something to do, soon found that the time was already two o'clock in the morning, so, let's start work? Picking up the dark gold Tibetan knife that was placed on the side of him, he stood up from the cold steel plate, and after moving his body slightly, Ma Yuhui raised his head and raised his hand and began the work of digging the passage.
He didn't dare to use too heavy a hand, so he could only pry the soil layer little by little as if he were scraping, trying to make the sound he made when digging the passage as soft as possible.
In this case, the speed of Ma Yuhui's excavation channel is no different from that of ants moving, and the excavation work in the early morning of the first day lasted two hours before it was completed, and Ma Yuhui dug up less than 30 centimeters in total, and was almost startled by a few stones that fell with the dirt on the way.
Fortunately, he reacted in time to catch these stones, otherwise, the sound of the stones hitting the steel plate would be quite pleasant!
For the next twenty-two hours, it became Ma Yuhui's time to rest, sitting honestly in this passage, reaching out from time to time to catch the relatively large pieces of dirt or small stones that fell from it to pass the time.
The black schoolbag contained enough supplies for Ma Yuhui to live for ten days, although the water was a little less, but saving some drink was still enough for him to survive for ten days.
Twenty-two hours later, after resting for a day and a night, Ma Yuhui once again grabbed the dark golden Tibetan knife and began his great excavation, this time it was relatively smooth, and he dug up about forty centimeters in two hours, and did not make any big noise.
After four o'clock in the morning, Ma Yuhui stopped digging on time. Although he also wanted to get the thousand-year-old golden cordyceps as soon as possible, he also knew that he couldn't rush it, so he could only wait patiently, otherwise, once the Bai family evolutionaries on the surface noticed something, wouldn't he have to give up all his efforts?
Ma Yuhui still has this patience, so he strictly follows the time planned before to slowly dig this short passage, and he must ensure that his movements will not be discovered!
Five days have passed in a flash, and Ma Yuhui's passage has gradually changed from longitudinal excavation to horizontal excavation, but compared with longitudinal excavation, horizontal excavation is more difficult.
Each time he excavated, he spent more than an hour just transporting the excavated soil and pebbles, so Ma Yuhui's excavation speed became slower and slower.
Seven days have passed since the excavation began, but the total length of the passage, which is only three meters long, has only been dug to less than two meters long. Ma Yuhui, who had been in this passage for seven days in a row, was already discouraged, but for the sake of the thousand-year-old golden cordyceps...... Dude endures!
In the early hours of the morning, as soon as two o'clock arrived, Ma Yuhui reflexively stood up from the ground, grabbed the almost omnipotent dark gold hidden knife and began to dig again.
It's just that when Ma Yuhui got into the horizontal passage and was about to start digging, he faintly heard a slight conversation on the surface, and he immediately held his breath and lay motionless in the severely oxygen-deprived passage.
“…… I heard that the old men of the Lu family have been dispatched, and this time there is a good show. An old man with a slightly sharp voice said with a slight smile: "That kid surnamed Ma is really bold, thinking that he will be invincible in the world if he kills a few Gang Extreme Realm evolutionaries?" ”
"Who's to say it isn't." The old man with a very thick voice smiled when he heard this: "Lu Yuanheng is the third powerhouse of the Heaven Killing Mirror, some time ago it was said that he was in retreat, so he did not intervene in the pursuit of Ma Yuhui, this time as soon as Lu Yuanheng made a move, the kid surnamed Ma is estimated to be unable to escape." ”
"I would like to see the kid surnamed Ma continue to grow up and directly end the Lu family...... In recent years, relying on the increase in the coverage of the pharmacy chain, the Lu family has become more and more unpopular. The old man with a somewhat sharp voice chuckled: "This time I suffered a big loss, but I am much more stable." ”
"Hehe, this kind of thing is still left to the elders to have a headache, but it has nothing to do with us." The old man with a strong voice said: "But it is said that the boy surnamed Ma has advanced all the way from the Northeast Political Region to the southwest, and now it is estimated that he has entered the Central Political Region, right?" I don't know which rat hole to hide in. ”
"Look, as soon as Lu Yuanheng intervenes, many families involved in the Lu family will also join in." The old man with a sharp voice said: "It is said that the Lu family has already submitted an application for temporary transfer in the Huatong Club, and it is estimated that in two days, the entire central political region will be stared at by the people of the Lu family's camp!" ”
"We can't control things at this level." The old man with a strong voice sighed, and then smiled: "Okay, okay, let's go to my place for a cup of tea, it's not too early!" ”
"Okay." The old man with a sharp voice agreed, and then Ma Yuhui heard a sound of footsteps from near to far, gradually disappearing within his hearing range.
"Hiding in a rat hole?" After the footsteps were far away, Ma Yuhui lay on his stomach for nearly a minute, and only after he was sure that the two had left did he mumble with a wry smile.
Half of your body is stuffed in a narrow passage, isn't this just hiding in a rat hole? The old man's description is really apt...... Ma Yuhui laughed at himself in his heart.
The conversation between the two old men aroused a strong anxiety in Ma Yuhui's heart, of course he knew that the Lu family had an old lady with the third weight of the Heaven Killing Mirror, otherwise, he would have been killed by the Lu family's base camp a long time ago, and he could still let the Lu family continue to hunt him down?
I hadn't heard for so long that the old lady of the Lu family had personally intervened in the pursuit of him, and Ma Yuhui really almost thought that the other party was concerned about his reputation and didn't want to do anything to him, an evolutionary in the Gang Extreme Realm...... Now it seems that the reality is that the other party is in retreat!
Hearing the news suddenly, Ma Yuhui's heart was really a little cold, and now that he thinks about it carefully after the first few encounters, he is really gambling with his life.
The old lady of the Lu family never interfered in the pursuit of him, because he happened to be in retreat at the time...... Is it because of his own good luck, or is the Lu family's luck too bad?
Ma Yuhui didn't know how to choose, but he knew that he seemed to be really unlucky this time...... Qiu Zhizhan, the heaviest player in the Heaven Killing Mirror, was able to beat him to a serious injury and almost died, and Gang Ye has not heard from him until now because of that incident.
The guy who is the first layer of the Heaven Killing Mirror has such terrifying strength, so what about the third level of the Heaven Killing Mirror?
Gang Ye told Ma Yuhui that the gap between the Heaven Killing Mirror powerhouses is quite obvious, and a Heaven Killing Mirror third level powerhouse can completely abuse and kill dozens of Heaven Killing Mirror first level evolutionaries with an overwhelming advantage!
But Ma Yuhui is not even the first level of the Heavenly Mirror, he is just a sixteen-year-old boy who is the seventh level of the Gang Extreme Realm!
Lu Yuanheng intervened, and the Lu family was about to block the Central Political Region...... These two bad news fell into his ears, and immediately made Ma Yuhui's mood sink to the limit.
But he can't help it, for the sake of now, that is, to obtain the Millennium Golden Cordyceps and return to the academy as soon as possible, and try to stay in the academy and not run around until he has enough strength to protect himself...... Ma Yuhui is not a fool, he will run when he knows that he is invincible, and he will never rush up to kill himself like a dumbfounder.
Hearing the conversation between the two old men, Ma Yuhui's originally relaxed mood suddenly tensed again, he knew that he was about to start racing against time again...... "We must leave the Central Administrative Region before the Lu family completely blocks the Central Political Region!" Ma Yuhui gritted his teeth, and the speed of digging the passage was subconsciously sped up by him.
Ma Yuhui, who was digging a passage under the surface, didn't know that at this time, in the Lu family meeting hall in the Northwest Political Region, there was also a large group of people standing there silently, and just like him, they didn't even dare to gasp......
