Below the dry well, surrounded by a solid darkness, the smell of decay floats in the air, and I don't know how deep it is, and in the process of climbing down, it gives people a sense of oppression that is gradually approaching hell.

Zhao Zheng didn't know if he was particularly fated to the dark, so he always dealt with the dark environment. Today, he was once again forced to work in this dark environment.

In order to probe the bottom of the dry well, he tied the rope firmly to the reel, and then climbed down the rope. It stands to reason that Li Zhenzhen's light skills are better and more suitable for doing this, but the dry well is black and dirty, how can he be embarrassed to let Li Zhenzhen come down to explore the way?

He had a candle in his mouth, and the bean-sized flame danced and drove away the darkness, and sometimes a candle fell and stuck to his clothes. His hands were clutching the rough rope, and if it weren't for the tough skin of the Dual Heavenly Martial Man, the palms of his hands would have been worn out.

Li Zhenzhen lay on the wellhead, helping to observe the surrounding situation, and sometimes talked to Zhao Zheng through the wellhead.

Zhao Zheng had something in his mouth, and he couldn't answer at all, so he could only crawl down. I don't know how deep he climbed, he finally reached the deepest point and stepped on the ground that he had not seen for a long time. He stepped on the soft soil and glanced up, Li Zhenzhen's face shrunk to a point, and the mouth of the well shining into the light was like a full moon. Judging by visual inspection, the dry well was at least thirty meters deep.

"I climbed down, don't worry about me!" Zhao Zheng spit the candle in his palm and shouted at it, his voice echoing in the dry well.

"The devil is worried about you! Hurry up and see if there is a secret passage, and if there is, I'll follow! Li Zhenzhen replied at the wellhead.

Zhao Zheng smiled and withdrew his gaze. He shook the candle flame in his hand and glanced around, the firelight illuminated the uneven surface of the bottom of the well, and the walls looked like hideous faces spliced together, which was quite scary. He walked over to the wall and reached out, searching for clues.

In the game, there will be a secret passage under the dry well in the south of Qibao County, and the secret passage leads to multiple places, which is quite complicated.

Anyone has a bit of curiosity, Zhao Zheng is no exception, when he looked at the information about Qibao County, he looked at a few special parts for a while longer, so his memory was relatively deep, and he remembered as many as six or seven percent about this secret passage and related things.

Zhao Zheng groped for a while at the bottom of the ancient well, and finally found a place with particularly soft soil, which looked like it had been temporarily buried. His eyes lit up, and he set the candle aside, then pulled the shovel behind his back, and dug it up, shovel after spade. His shovel was newly bought when he came, and the steel mouth was very good, and the soil here was very soft, and it was not long before a large pit was dug up.

"Bump!"

Zhao Zheng dropped a spade and dug this place open and went deep into a hollow. He was overjoyed to see this, and dug even harder, and dug up the rest of the earth.

A deep and dark hole appeared in front of Zhao Zheng, and from it came a strong smell of earthy air, like the throat of a giant beast.

Zhao Zheng picked up the candle again and shone it into the secret passage, the fire dispelled the darkness, but it could not be illuminated. His eyes were burning, and he said to himself, "Sure enough, there is a secret way." ”

It didn't take long for Li Zhenzhen to come down, although it was very dirty here, but it couldn't stop her probing.

"Wow, interesting, where does this lead? Who dug it? What's inside? Li Zhenzhen looked at the deep secret passage and asked excitedly.

"It's a long story." Zhao Zheng replied while standing behind.

"I like to listen to stories, I don't care how long they are." Li Zhenzhen turned her head and smiled.

Zhao Zheng nodded, opened the chatterbox, and told the origin of this secret passage. This dark and mysterious environment, combined with the jumping candle flames, fills his words with magnetism, adding a mysterious color to the story he tells.

"There is a rich Zhang Yuanwai in Qibao County, he is a very good person, he likes to mess with flowers and grass, but there is a very powerful lady in the family, who controls the family's accounts, manages him everywhere, and does not let him mess around outside. The husband and wife often have conflicts over this, which makes the family uneasy and the chickens and dogs restless. Zhang Yuanwai has no real power in his hands, and he is not his wife's opponent, so he is very depressed, and he thinks hard all day long about how to get the best of both worlds, and he doesn't want to fall out with his wife, but also wants to mess around outside. Finally, one day, he had a whim, and really thought of a good way, so this secret passage came into being. ”

"What does the secret passage have to do with his methods?" Li Zhenzhen asked.

Zhang Yuanwai's method is to dig a secret passage, take it under his bed, and then go straight to the Qinglou. This is a somewhat whimsical method, but it is easy to do things if you have money, and he spent money to hire a group of workers to work underground and night, digging this secret passage, and making the whimsy a reality. Zhao Zheng pointed to the dark secret passage and explained the origin of the secret passage, which he saw from the game materials.

"So this secret passage is for this kind of thing? It's terrible. Li Zhenzhen frowned.

"The story isn't over yet." Zhao Zheng shook his finger and continued to preach, "After Zhang Yuanwai dug through this secret passage, he was no longer afraid of the tigress at home, and went to the Qinglou every night through the secret passage to have fun. Qinglou made a lot of money from this Zhang Yuanwai, and felt that this was a good way to make money, so he taught this method to two other rich people who were in a similar situation to Zhang Yuanwai, and these people also secretly dug tunnels underground, leading to the Qinglou from different directions. Over time, these tunnels have been connected together and become a whole. ”

Zhao Zheng opened his hand and gestured, and with his movements, Li Zhenzhen imagined a complex world buried deep underground in his mind.

"How big is this secret passage now?" Li Zhenzhen gasped and asked.

"I don't know much about that, but I've guessed which green building they lead to."

Li Zhenzhen rolled her eyes and speculated: "With so many rich people cheering the party, this Qinglou must have made a lot of money, and now it should have developed into the largest Qinglou in the local area." The largest green building in Qibao County is the Baihua Pavilion, and the place where this secret passage leads should be there. ”

"I guessed right, I thought so too, the secret passage here should lead to the Hundred Flowers Pavilion." Zhao Zheng snapped his fingers crisply, "How is it, are you still satisfied with this place?" Do you think the three days are worth the wait? This kind of unsightly secret passage is not available everywhere. ”

"It's funny, it's quite interesting, but it's a little disgusting to think that it was a secret passage dug by a group of men to go to the Qinglou." Li Zhenzhen stuck out her tongue, suddenly remembered something, and asked instead, "By the way, you are not a rich outsider, where did you know about this secret passage?" Could it be that the warbler of the Hundred Flowers Pavilion told you? ”

"It wasn't the Wandering Bird who told me, how dare the Wandering Bird talk nonsense about this kind of confidential thing? Actually, I heard these things myself. Before I entered the Red Dust Inn, I was a beggar and lived by begging every day, and one day, I overheard about this secret passage from someone else, so I knew about it. Zhao Zheng made a slick excuse for himself.

"I remember you said you could make money here, what do you mean?"

"This secret passage can help those outsiders solve a big problem, of course they have to keep it a secret. Only the three outsiders and a few people in the Qinglou knew about this secret passage, and even the family members outside the staff didn't know anything about it. We can take advantage of this to extort a sum of money from those three members. The more Zhao Zheng talked, the more energetic he became, and there was also this task in the game, which was specially used to make money.

"You just said that Zhang Yuanwai was looking for workers to dig a tunnel, didn't those workers also know this secret? Why didn't they go to the three outsiders to extort money? Li Zhenzhen was puzzled.

"They know it's true, but they won't say it." Zhao Zheng's face froze and shook his head.

"Why?"

"Because the dead don't extort anyone's money."
