When Han Xuening woke up again, it was already very bright outside.

She looked around, and everyone had woken up.

Han Xuening asked everyone, "Did you hear footsteps moving underground just now?" ”

Everyone looked at Han Xuening and shook their heads.

Han Xuening was very puzzled in her heart, why didn't anyone else hear it, but she heard it alone?

Liang Gang asked, "What?" Miss Xue Ning, do you hear footsteps in the house? ”

Han Xuening said: "Just now, I heard the sound of footsteps moving underground, and later, I heard the sound of breathing. ”

The jade girl said in fright: "Miss Xue Ning, why didn't we hear it? Could it be that there really is a secret passage underneath here? Maybe those old-timers are in the secret passage. ”

As you know, what the jade girl said is not impossible.

However, after searching for most of the day yesterday, they couldn't find a place where the secret passage could be hidden in these houses in the manor.

Wei Yunxuan thought for a moment and said, "It seems that we have to look here again today." ”

The group began to search again in the manor, and searched almost all the corners, but still found nothing.

However, Han Xue Ning was very sure in her heart that there must be a secret passage hidden in the manor, which could lead to the underground.

Han Xuening suddenly thought of the courtyard in the back, maybe there would be a secret passage there?

After Han Xuening told everyone her guess, the group went out of the back door and came to the back yard to start searching.

There is an old tree three or four meters tall in the yard, this tree is strange, it looks like it is decades old, but it is not tall and the tree is relatively thin. There was no comparison with the towering trees outside the manor.

Several people began to slowly gather around the tree, and Bai Zijun began to look carefully at the edge of the tree.

He looked east and west, but he didn't see anything famous.

Han Xuening asked, "Brother Zijun, have you found something wrong?" ”

Bai Zijun shook his head, "Not yet, I just think this tree is a little strange." ”

In fact, everyone can see that there is nothing strange about it.

Wei Yunxuan thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Look, this tree seems to grow with an object in the middle?" ”

Han Xuening took a closer look, and the body of the tree looked like there were many small stripes. Moreover, the body of the tree is uneven.

Han Xuening borrowed her strength to go up to the tree and looked down at the trunk, but found that the trunk was hollow.

Han Xuening shouted to the people below, "The trunk of this tree is hollow. ”

The jade girl said: "What Lord Wei said is really right, this should be a parasitic tree, and the vines grow in circles around the hollow pole, and it looks like a slender tree at a glance. ”

Bai Zijun said: "Even if it is a parasitic tree, we can't be sure that there is a secret passage here." ”

Han Xuening, who was still at the top of the tree trunk, took out a rope from his side, tied a small glowing stick to the rope, and then slowly lowered the glowing stick through the rope.

The underside of the tree hole, which had been dark, was now illuminated by small glowing sticks. Han Xuening could clearly see the things around her.

It is surrounded by a relatively smooth round wall, and you can see the gray dust on the round wall.

The rope is relatively long, Han Xuening kept putting the rope down, and after putting it down for four or five meters, it was not yet finished.

At this moment, Han Xuening understood in her heart that there was indeed a secret passage down here.

She saw through the dim light of the glowing sticks that she could see a large space underground.

The people below saw that Han Xue Ning had been looking into the trunk, and Wei Yunxuan shouted, "Miss Xue Ning! Did you find anything? ”

Han Xue Ning replied: "The pipe here is empty, and it can be directly connected to the basement below. The basement is huge, I just don't know how to get down. ”

Liang Gang said: "There is indeed a secret passage under the house. ”

Han Xuening continued to lower the rope, and after putting it down for more than two meters, she finally reached the ground in the basement.

Judging by the length of the rope, Han Xuening said that the height of the basement was almost two meters five.

Then she pulled the rope up and came down from the tree.

She said to everyone: "I just lowered it with a rope and roughly measured the depth of the basement, which should be one meter below where we are standing. The basement is about two meters high. ”

Now, although everyone knows that there must be a basement underground, they are still struggling with how to go down.

Liang Gang said: "Although there is a basement below, we can't find a place to go down. ”

Bai Zijun said: "Just now, Miss Xue Ning said that the basement is one meter below the ground, we can dig up the soil on the ground one meter down, and we can go in." ”

The jade girl objected to Bai Zijun's plan, "Brother Zijun, this won't work. If you dig hard, you are afraid that you will damage the structure of the basement and cause the entire tunnel to collapse. Besides, this is someone else's place, let's dig it privately, in case there is someone in the basement, how can we explain it to others? ”

What the Jade Girl said is right, this kind of behavior seems very impolite, in case, several masters of the Heavenly Domain are in the basement, and they dig like this, people still think that these people are here to steal.

Wei Yunxuan also said that Bai Zijun's method would not work, and he had to find a place to go down to the basement.

Bai Zijun said again: "Otherwise, let's move this tree and expand the hole in the basement, and then we can go down." ”

Han Xuening said to Bai Zijun: "Brother Zijun, why do you always think of such a bad idea? This one doesn't work either! This vine climbing tree should be no less than a few decades old, you have damaged it for others, and when the time comes, people will ask us to accompany us, how can we accompany it? ”

Liang Gang thought for a moment and said, "It seems that we still have to find the entrance to the basement or a mechanism that can open the entrance to the basement." In this way, it is possible to enter the basement. Just now, the plan that Brother Zijun said, in case the basement is damaged, there are hidden weapons or mechanisms shot out inside, we are also very dangerous. ”

In this way, everyone thinks that when they enter the house again, they should look for a place with similar mechanisms.

The direct entrance to the basement is definitely not in the house, and the five of them have been looking for it for almost a day, and they don't see a big downward entrance at all.

So, the group went into the house and looked around carefully.

Han Xue thought about it, the layout of this manor was built according to the five-star coat. So, if there is a mechanism in the house, will it also be designed according to the five elements of gossip?

The five of them must have spent two and a half days searching the ground and walls, and they couldn't find any place where they could set up a mechanism.

Han Xuening suddenly thought, will this mechanism be set up on the roof beam?

Thinking of this possibility, Han Xuening performed light skills and took advantage of the strength to climb the roof beam, which was more than four meters high.

The few people below all looked at Han Xuening, not understanding why she went up to the roof beam.

Bai Zijun asked, "Miss Xue Ning! What are you going up there for? ”
