Chapter 161: Entrance

Hei Baizi walked alone in front, with no expression on his face, no squinting, no hurry or slow, and after passing through several corridors and gardens full of exotic flowers and plants, an old man dressed in a subordinate costume came to him.

Although this old man is dressed ordinarily and looks old, he has steady steps and bright eyes, and he is obviously not an ordinary person.

"Second master, where are you going?" As soon as the old man saw Hei Baizi coming towards him, he immediately smiled heaped, the wrinkles on his face suddenly squeezed together, and he bowed down and smiled.

The black and white Zipi nodded without smiling, squeezed out a smile on his stiff face, and said, "I was about to go to the fourth brother to ask for a few glasses of wine." Ding Jian, is the eldest brother back now? ”

It turned out that this old man was Ding Jian, the "one-word electric sword" who split the four tyrants with one palm under Qilian Mountain, and subdued the two heroes with one sword, and he was brilliant with a fast sword in one hand.

"The second owner is not unclear, today is the first day of the first month, and the owner of the big village went out early in the morning. Before the sun sets, how can you return to the village. Ding Jian said with a smile.

"Hmm." Hei Baizi responded in a low voice, the corner of his left eye twitched slightly, and then said: "Then I'll go to the fourth brother's side first, and when the eldest brother comes back, remember to inform us." ”

Ding Jian's identity in Meizhuang is relatively special, although he and the "Four Friends of Jiangnan" are called master and servant, but in fact, these four brothers are more polite to him and another "Five Road God", and they are not regarded as current people. And Ding Jian is also loyal to these four people, and he and Shi Lingwei handle the affairs of the mansion in an orderly manner.

"Yes, the second owner is going well." Ding Jian bowed slightly, watching Hei Baizi leave.

Hei Baizi walked past Ding Jian, and after passing through the corridor, he passed by several round halls, Dan Qingsheng's residence was indeed in the East Garden of Meizhuang, so he said it to Ding Jian casually, but it would not make people suspicious.

But after a while, Hei Baizi suddenly turned north again, and walked deeper into Meizhuang.

He didn't go far, and Hei Baizi passed through a corridor and came to the door of the Moon Cave. The word "piano heart" is written on the forehead of the moon cave door, which is made of blue glaze, and the pen is vigorous, which should be from the handwriting of a famous artist.

When Hei Baizi arrived here, his body stopped slightly, and he subconsciously glanced left and right, and he didn't seem to find anything abnormal, his body was slightly short, and he got into the moon cave door.

Ling Jing and the three of them were far behind the black and white son, and when they saw the figure of the black and white son disappear behind the slightly arched small door, the three of them couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Brother Ling, it seems that this place should be the residence of Huang Zhonggong, the owner of the big village you mentioned earlier." Qin Baichuan looked at the direction in which Hei Baizi disappeared and said in a low voice.

The place where Huang Zhonggong lives is already the back courtyard of Meizhuang, and it is much cleaner than the front yard, and there are many rockeries, flowers, grass and trees, pavilions and pavilions nearby, but there are almost no people in sight, and it is very quiet.

"Well, it shouldn't be wrong." Ling Jing turned his head to glance at Qin Baichuan, his gaze stayed on his face for a moment, then turned his head away again, and said lightly.

"Brother Ling, then what are we waiting for, if Hei Baizi enters the dungeon and closes the door again, then we won't be able to go down." There seemed to be a hint of urgency in Qin Baichuan's voice.

Ling Jing squinted at Qin Baichuan meaningfully, nodded, and said, "Okay." Let's go, then. ”

After finishing speaking, Chong Lianyi smiled slightly, Lianyi blinked, and the three of them immediately turned around, crossed the courtyard wall in front, and landed lightly in the courtyard.

Behind the door of the moon cave, there is a quiet flower path, the bamboo is cultivated on both sides, and the pebbles of the flower path are covered with moss, which seems to be plain and few people walk.

Before the flower path leads to the three stone houses, seven or eight pine trees in front of the house and behind the house are tall and tall, covering the gloom in all directions.

The three of them came to a place a few feet in front of the stone house, and hid behind a rockery, and there was no black and white in front of them.

Suddenly, a faint "creaking" sound came from the stone house in the middle, low but rather harsh, like the sound of rusty iron squeezing and rubbing against each other.

The three of them were silent for a while, and no one made any moves, for fear that the black and white people inside would notice that there were still people outside.

The "creaking" sound disappeared for a moment, and then there seemed to be a slight footstep sound of "kicking", and the rhythm of the sound was very slow, getting lower and lower.

After a while, only to hear that there was no sound coming from the house, Ling Jing and the three of them glanced at each other, walked to the stone house in the middle, and gently pushed the door open.

Pushing open the door of the house, suddenly there was a faint smell of sandalwood from the room, and there was a small piano room in sight, with several landscape scrolls hanging on the wall on the left, and a sandalwood square table on the right, on which a yaoqin was placed, and a silver incense burner. Behind the desk, there are two side-by-side wooden bookshelves, neatly filled with books.

There is a small square door above the left head of the piano room that leads to the inner room.

Ling Jing's gaze looked around for a moment, his eyes flashed, and then he said in a low voice: "Okay, the black and white son disappeared in this piano room and the inner room in front of it, so the entrance to the dungeon must be here, let's look for it carefully." Be sure to hurry, though. ”

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Qin Baichuan, walked to the bookshelf with a smile, took down a few booklets, and looked behind through the gap in the bookshelves.

Lian Yi went to the left side of the piano room, opened the landscape scrolls, and looked at them.

Qin Baichuan's gaze glanced at the entrance to the inner room, then frowned and glanced at Ling Jing and Lianyi, who were busy separately, walked to the root of the opposite wall, stretched out his hand and slapped it on the wall a few times.

After a while, when the three of them found nothing, Qin Baichuan turned around and said in a low voice, "Brother Ling, why don't I go to the inner room first and take a look, and I'll leave it to you first." ”

Ling Jing was fiddling with the sandalwood square table, and immediately said without raising his head: "Okay, if Brother Qin finds anything, he must inform us immediately." ”

Qin Baichuan answered in a low voice, turned around and walked to the side of the small square door, and after a pause, he got up and went inside.

Qin Baichuan's figure disappeared into the door, Ling Jing immediately let go of the silver incense burner in his hand, raised his head, and looked at the small door, with a hint of a smile on his face.

Inside the inner room, from time to time there was a sound made by Qin Baichuan when he turned things, Ling Jing lowered his head, looked at the Yaoqin on the table, the five fingers of his right hand were bluffed, as if he was playing in the air, but there was no trace of anxiety on his face.

"Brother Ling, come quickly!" After a while, Qin Baichuan suddenly let out a low cry in the inner room, and his words were full of surprise.

Lian Yi glanced at Ling Jing, saw him smile and nodded, and the two immediately turned around and entered the inner room. I saw that there were a few beds in this room, the furnishings were simple, and the gauze tent was hung on the bed, which was very old and yellow. There was a short piano on the table, which was dark and seemed to be made of iron.

Qin Baichuan had already lifted the futon on the bed at this time, uncovered the bed board, and revealed a blue-black iron plate underneath. In the center of the iron plate are two copper rings with a diameter of two or three inches.

"Huh!" Ling Jing's face showed a hint of surprise, and he let out a shocked "huh", and blurted out, "How did Brother Qin find out that the entrance to this dungeon was under the bed?" ”

Qin Baichuan smiled slightly and said, "It's just a mistake." After a pause, he said with a straight face: "Brother Ling, without further ado, let's go down quickly." ”

"What Brother Qin said is reasonable." Ling Jing also nodded cautiously, and took a few steps forward with Lianyi.

Qin Baichuan clasped the copper ring with both hands, pulled it hard, and only heard a few "stabs" sounds, and an iron plate that was four feet wide and five feet long rose in his hand, revealing a long square hole.

Qin Baichuan held the iron plate with one hand, and looked down a few times, only to see a pitch-black mass, and there seemed to be irregular stairs on the ground in the blur.

"Brother Ling, you and Lianyi go down first, and I'll hold on to this iron plate first." The iron plate was slightly tilted, and all the weight was concentrated on Qin Baichuan's right hand.

"Then there is Brother Lao Qin." Ling Jing saw that the cave was dark and he couldn't see anything clearly, so he immediately took out a fire fold, lit it, and then went into it lightly.

Lianyi followed closely.

After Ling Jing and Lian Yi jumped into the cave one after another, Qin Baichuan's eyes flashed when he looked at the entrance of the cave, his legs first stepped into the cave, and then his body was short, and the iron plate finally slowly fell back to its original position, and the bed board and bedding on it also fell.

At this time, at first glance, I only thought that the bed was just a little messy, and everything else seemed to have not changed, and even the gauze tents on both sides had fallen again.

After Ling Jing lit the fire and entered the cave entrance, he didn't go far, only to see an oil lamp lit on the wall below, emitting a pale yellow light, and the place he was in seemed to be a tunnel.

Although the light of the oil lamp was weak, it was stronger than the fire fold in his hand, and he immediately extinguished the fire fold, and looked at the tunnel by the dim light.

This tunnel is narrow, no more than five feet wide, no more than one zhang high, the walls on both sides are full of potholes, it seems extremely uneven, except for the hole, in the tunnel behind, it seems that there is an oil lamp fixed on the walls on both sides at intervals.

Lian Yi and Qin Baichuan came behind him one after another, glanced at the tunnel in front of him, Qin Baichuan said in a low voice: "Brother Ling, we have been delayed for a lot of time to find this entrance, let's go to the front and have a look." ”

Ling Jing nodded, and after the three of them walked forward for more than ten zhang, they saw that a huge stone door had been pushed open, the thickness of this stone door was almost a foot, and there was a keyhole on the right edge of the stone door.

The three of them looked at this stone gate, and they were slightly surprised in their hearts, this stone gate is huge, I am afraid that it will weigh more than a thousand catties, and it may be possible to push it with internal force, but if you want to destroy it with brute force, it is definitely a fool's dream.
