The geographical location of Dali City is very good, backed by Cangshan Mountain, facing Erhai Lake, and Dali has no threat of foreign enemies in the past hundred years, so Dali City has no moat.

The main road leading to Dali City is the official road outside the south gate, and out of the east gate, you can go all the way to Erhai Lake.

Because the terrain is flat and the land is fertile, many local residents have cultivated their fields, and the harvest is good if the wind and rain are gentle throughout the year.

It is precisely because of this that a residential area has gradually formed outside the east gate, especially many wealthy merchants in the city, have built mansions outside the east gate, one is convenient to collect rent, and the other is to live outside the city, after all, it is more quiet.

It is in this peaceful residential area that there is a relatively ordinary-looking compound covering an area of twenty or thirty acres, and the yard does not know which rich and noble family in the city belongs to, and because there is little interaction with the neighbors, no one around cares who lives next door.

That night, the courtyard was as quiet as ever, except that the lights were still on in the main hall, and a middle-aged man dressed in ethnic minority costumes and a Han man of the same age were sitting and talking.

There seemed to be some worry on the face of the Han man, but the man with his head wrapped in a flower cloth always laughed loudly, as if he didn't care.

While the two were talking, a young man suddenly walked in, glanced at the Han man with strange eyes, and bowed down to lie down and said something next to the ear of the tangled man.

The young man seemed to be guarding against outsiders by talking like this, but the middle-aged man who was haunted didn't seem to care, and shouted in surprise, "What did you say?" The trap of the secret passage has been triggered? This...... How is that possible?! ”

The entangled man was still laughing loudly, but after saying this, his face sank, and he stared at the Han man with two bull's eyes.

The Han man also understood what was happening, and wondered, "Could it be that I was followed?" ”

The tangled man was a little angry and complained, "It's really a big fart, who else can you have?" We have been digging this secret passage for almost three years to dig through, so you can use it once, and then someone will find out, if it spoils my big thing, see how I settle accounts with you! ”

The Han man seemed to be very calm, he condensed his eyebrows and thought for a while, then guessed something, and deliberately slowed down his speech and said, "The barbarian king is not in a hurry, Chai has already guessed who it is." Now that he's touched the mechanism, it's certain that he's trapped now, so he won't leak the news of this secret passage. ”

After hearing this, the man touched his chin and thought about it, and felt that what Chai Zhizu said still made some sense, although there was a person in the secret passage, but now that the person has touched the mechanism, he must have been trapped, since this secret passage will not be exposed, then there is nothing to worry about.

"Aman, take a few people to catch the people trapped in the secret passage mechanism, lock them in the dungeon, and I'll go to see them later."

The young man known as Aman had gloomy eyes, but he still glanced at Chai Zhizu suspiciously, and then he saluted the Wuman King with a fist, and then retreated.

……

"Brother Ren! Brother Ren! You...... Both, are you alright? ”

Lan Ruoxin endured the severe pain all over his body and got up, climbed all the way to the edge of the stone gate, and slapped the stone gate weakly, and Yang Huairen also rushed towards the stone gate on the other side, but this time he was very careful, especially noticed his feet, and did not step on the mechanism on the side of the stone gate again.

Yang Huairen glanced back at Tie Xiangyu, and saw that she had already climbed up, and it seemed that she didn't want to have something, so he replied, "Me and Mr. Tie are fine, what about you?" Are you okay? ”

"I'm fine, you're fine."

Tie Xiangyu also walked over at this time, and said a little impatiently, "I don't have time to let the two of you sing Qingqing and me tear jerker, Lan is in charge, if you are okay, hurry up and twist the mechanism to open the door." ”

Lan Ruoxin then remembered that the stone door could be opened, so she hurriedly got up, found the oil lamp that had fallen to the ground but fortunately did not fall out, found the raised stone, and twisted it hard.

The stone turned as it had just done and made a grinding sound, but strangely, the stone door did not open this time, but did not move at all.

Seeing this, Lan Ruoxin was in a hurry, let go of the stone, waited for it to turn back to its original position, and twisted it again, but there was still no movement.

Yang Huairen asked suspiciously on the other side of the stone gate, "Ruoxin, have you twisted it?" ”

Lan Ruo's heart was a little impatient, thinking that his sweetheart was locked up on the other side, and he felt as if he was so isolated, he couldn't help but have a sour nose, and said with a crying voice, "I twisted, and I twisted just like you just now, but the stone door didn't open, I, I don't know why!" ”

Yang Huairen shouted in his heart, but he still said gently, "Don't worry, calm down, maybe you twisted in the wrong direction, you twist it to the other side and try it." ”

"Oh."

Lan Ruoxin was a little flustered just now, and he didn't remember which direction Yang Huairen was twisting the stone, but this time when the stone turned back to its original position, he tried to twist it in another direction again.

But the other direction couldn't twist at all, no matter how hard she tried, as if it was stuck, she couldn't make the stone turn half a minute.

"The other side, the other side can't twist, it's dead!"

Yang Huairen suddenly realized something, so he said to Tie Xiangyu, "It's over, maybe I stepped on the trap on the ground just now, and the mechanism that opened the door on the other side was automatically locked, no matter how much Ruoxin twisted it, it wouldn't work." ”

"Then we're really dead."

Tie Xiangyu said and pointed to a raised stone on the stone wall on the side of the stone gate, "I have also tried the mechanism here, but it didn't work." ”

Then he pointed to the other side of Yang Huairen, "Well, the other side is also a dead end." ”

Yang Huairen looked through the faint light of the fire, about twenty steps away on the other side, there was another stone gate, no need to guess to know, if the person who designed these stone gates in order to guard against and catch unexpected intruders, as long as he touched the trap once, then the switch that controlled the opening of the stone door on the other side must have been locked.

It was very strange that Yang Huairen felt that when he entered this secret passage from the well, he was still a little scared in his heart, but at this time, he and Tie Xiangyu were locked up in such a place, but he didn't feel scared, and he felt a little funny in his heart.

He smiled bitterly at Tie Xiangyu and spread his hands, "Death is death, it's just that it has affected Tie Zong's dart, and I really feel a little sorry in my heart." ”

Tie Xiangyu also felt very strange about Yang Huairen's performance, and really couldn't understand whether this person was timid or bold, really calm or heartless, but replied angrily, "It's all my own fault, no wonder others." ”
