Nameless, John and Gu Chunxia gathered in the hall of the old mansion, looking around one by one with embarrassed expressions.

"Do you think about it, where did the footsteps come from?" Nameless finally had no choice but to ask Gu Chunxia again.

After all, she was the first and only executor who might know the clues of the secret room.

Before the search just now, in fact, he had already understood Gu Chunxia's previous experience, but after searching for so long to no avail, he could only focus on her again.

Nameless wondered if Gu Chunxia was too scared at the time, so she forgot some important clues.

Gu Chunxia was also confused, she was not impatient when she heard the nameless question, but pointed to her feet, "It's near this hall, I was in the back room at the time, I didn't really hear it, but when I came here, I really felt that there was information about other people's activities nearby." ”

Nameless limped around with a cane and began to look at each of the tiles, smashing the ends of his trunk at them.

But judging from the thick feeling, it seems that there really is no such thing as a hollow.

Nameless was also a little at a loss, he squinted his eyes, and finally remembered Xu Lang at this time, turned to Gu Chunxia and the others and asked, "Where did Xu Lang go?" ”

"He just went out." John pointed to the courtyard.

The three of them all looked at the quiet courtyard, and saw Xu Lang facing the moonlight, tilting his head and looking intently at a certain location in the old mansion, as if he had lost his mind.

Seeing Xu Lang's appearance, Nameless thought that he couldn't accept the reality that he was about to lose his sight, sighed in his heart, and began to stagger towards the courtyard on crutches.

After Nameless approached Xu Lang, he looked at Xu Lang's eyes, and finally understood that this was not absent-minded, but something he had discovered.

When Xu Lang saw the arrival of Nameless, he didn't talk nonsense, and pointed to the beams of the old mansion, "Do you think there's something wrong there?" ”

Nameless turned sideways, stopped side by side with Xu Lang and began to observe the structure of the old mansion.

But the more he looked at him, the more he frowned, because his night eyes didn't find anything abnormal.

Hearing the nameless silence, Xu Lang chuckled, "You don't try to observe the detailed construction of the beams, you can try to squint your eyes and see the overall direction of the roof of the old mansion." ”

Nameless knew that Xu Lang had made a discovery, and he did not hesitate, and observed it all according to his words, but at first glance he didn't find anything, but when his vision began to blur, he was not limited to one place, and began to observe the old mansion in another way.

He suddenly discovered that the roof of the old mansion was wrong!

Asymmetry!

Along the very center of the old house, there is a large arch of beams, connecting the beams of the left and right rooms on both sides.

It stands to reason that in terms of traditional architectural style, it pays attention to symmetrical beauty, which is also in line with the moderate style of traditional culture, which is an artistic aesthetic that cannot be compounded.

But in this old house, the distance between the beams of the left room and the arched roof in the middle is a little longer than the connection on the right!

This point, if you look at it in a normal way, you can't find it.

Only by re-examining the overall architectural style and architecture of the old house will we find clues!

If you put this position into the structure of the room, then the distance between the hall and the inner room on the left should be longer!

This is more than the distance of the back room on the right.

In other words, there was a little more space between the hall and the room they were in before!

Nameless gasped, this kind of mechanism is extremely profound and obscure, ordinary modern people can't touch it at all, and the design is too ingenious, if they are in the house, they can't feel the abnormality anyway!

This is also a coincidence, Xu Lang went out to breathe because of eye problems, and finally discovered the strange from an alternative perspective!

Xu Lang smiled slightly, "Let's go, this time we can narrow down the search." ”

The two walked into the hall of the old house side by side, and there was a large wooden screen at the back of the hall, which also played a role in blocking the reception and entering the house.

Behind the screen, there are two doors, one on the left and one on the right, which are the entrances to the rooms on both sides.

According to their previous observations, Xu Lang and Nameless went straight to the entrance on the left.

Obviously, if there is a secret room, then it is between the screen and the entrance!

Nameless explained Xu Lang's conjecture to Gu Chunxia and John, and the four of them began to search carefully in this place of less than a few square meters.

Every floor tile and every platform were searched diligently, but it only took five minutes for the four of them to inspect all of them in such a large place, but in the end they still found nothing.

John's physical strength was already exhausted, and coupled with the long hours and meticulous work, his mental strength was exhausted.

While retreating, he waved his hand and said: "It's not a way to find it like this, it's better to take a break, don't be in a hurry to ...... for a while."

But before he could finish speaking, his backward body hit the screen behind him.

With a bang, the eyes of the rest of the people were drawn to him, and John was now holding the screen with one hand and covering his chest with the other, his eyes wide and he couldn't understand why everyone else was looking at him.

"You ......" 360 Literature Network

Xu Lang and the others were not so much looking at John, but at the screen he was holding in his hand!

This screen is all carved from wooden boards, the front is engraved with feng shui, and the back is simple, it is a tabula rasa, but the whole material is extremely light and thin, and the bottom is hollowed out, but there are wooden roots supporting the ground one by one.

Although John is aging, the weight of his whole body is there, how can he not move at all under a push?

John also sensed that something was wrong at this time, turned around and patted the screen, but it did not move at all, as if it had taken root, extremely firm.

"How can it be so strong?"

Although Xu Lang's eyes were not good at this time, he could still see the outline of such a big thing, and he said: "Yes, it is too strong, it looks like it grows on the ground!" ”

Hearing the nameless words, his eyes were dark, he understood the meaning of Xu Lang's words, and came directly to the screen, first observed the cover, and then leaned down and carefully looked at the two-finger-thick wooden root on the left side.

The roots of the wood were inserted into the tiles of the floor, and it really looked as if they were growing on the ground, and he touched them with his hand slightly, but he felt that the roots seemed to be very flexible.

Nameless raised his head, "Get ready, stand in the corner!" ”

Everyone understood what was going to happen next, and they were leaning against the wall with joy on their faces.

Seeing this, Nameless did not hesitate, clenched the wooden root and turned it around.

Then Xu Lang felt that the floor tiles under his feet seemed to vibrate, and the dust began to tremble with the shaking of the ground, and he could even hear the twitching sound of chains coming from the ground!

The moment Nameless turned the mechanism, he was ready, leaning to the side, his eyes fixed on the ground in front of him.

Sure enough, in the area they searched before, about two square meters in the center, a square began to collapse.

Stone bricks began to sink, driving large clouds of dust to fall, a slow and mechanical step, but the nameless heart finally let go.

After a while, the stone bricks began to stop sinking, and everyone heard a clattering sound.

Nameless poked his head to see a wooden slide suddenly appear under the sunken stone bricks, and in the pitch black environment below, Nameless's night eye came into play.

He could see that it was a secret passage!

It's no wonder that each stone brick doesn't feel hollow, as they have wooden planks embedded in the back, and once the trap starts, it falls.

This kind of semi-automatic mechanism has given a few people here a lot of knowledge.

Nameless came to the entrance of the secret passage on crutches, and said to Xu Lang and the others, "I'll open the way first." ”

The other people looked at each other, John's situation was not much better than Nameless, and even if he was close to him, he would not be able to fight Nameless now.

Not to mention Gu Chunxia, Xu Lang's eyes are even weaker in this situation.

Although Nameless was seriously injured, after a period of recuperation, except for the right hand and foot can not move normally, other aspects are not bad.

Xu Lang thought for a while, and finally took out the gun from his arms and handed it to Nameless, "In my case, it doesn't matter if there is it or not." ”

Nameless thought for a while and didn't pretend to shirk it, took it with his left hand, retreated directly into his sleeve, was ready to take it out at any time, and walked down the secret passage first.

Next is Xu Lang, John, and Gu Chunxia for last.

As soon as they entered the secret passage, a cold and damp feeling hit their hearts, and everyone couldn't help but shiver, and the four walls were dripping with dew from time to time.

Nameless looked around and whispered: "I don't rule out the possibility that there are still people from Peach Blossom Village in the secret passage, and now it's best not to touch this situation, so we don't make a sound as much as possible, so as not to startle the snake." ”

There was no light source around, which made Xu Lang's already unbearable vision even more difficult to function, and he almost walked forward by feeling.

Xu Lang stepped on the somewhat soft and wet dirt road, and there was a strange feeling in his heart, like stepping on human flesh and blood, and each foot sank into half of the soles of his feet, but he didn't feel the dirt sticky shoes when he continued to walk.

This narrow and closed secret passage always made Xu Lang always have a bad feeling in his heart.

I don't know how long I walked, Xu Lang's hazy vision began to glow, and the nameless body in front of him paused suddenly, turned his head and whispered: "There is a corner ahead, and a light source has appeared, be careful." ”

Hearing this, Xu Lang's heart couldn't help but tighten, which shows that there is a high probability that there will be a living person ahead!

Under the secret passage, their original purpose was to obtain some clues, but even Xu Lang was not ready to confront the people of Peach Blossom Village head-on.

But Nameless had already taken the lead at this time, and walked around the corner, Xu Lang thought that since he came, there was no need to retreat.

Several people walked forward again.

And then, a little torch appeared in front of them, illuminating the front.

Nameless was at the front, his pupils shrank, and his body stopped, because a stone room in front of him was piled with a large area of straw, almost filling the entire stone room, against the ceiling!

It turned out that the straw in Peach Blossom Village was piled up here.

And just as they came to the front, a voice that did not belong to any of the four suddenly sounded in the stone room, and suddenly the nameless person in front of him slipped on the soles of his feet, and fell head-on towards the straw pile in front of them!
