Chapter 269: Secret Path

At twelve o'clock in the morning, after everyone in the village had rested, we slipped out.

There are no street lights in the village, but they are bright in the moonlight. In the past few days, I have basically figured out every grass and tree in this ancestral hall.

The walls on both sides are high on the left and low on the right, and there is a small dirt slope on the left that is very easy to climb, although I haven't done this kind of physical activity for a long time, but it is still easy to climb the wall with the help of a dark shadow.

As for Rong Rong, her figure is petite, but her hands and feet are particularly neat, and she also turned over very smoothly.

At this time, the courtyard was still so lonely, Rong Rong and I glanced at each other, and then walked towards the ancestral hall.

When you enter the room, you will be greeted by tablets of all sizes. In front of these tablets was a table covered with a yellow cloth, and there was a layer of ash on it.

If you want to say that this criminal clan is really interesting, you say that he attaches importance to the ancestral temple, but this is usually not managed, but you have to say that they don't pay attention to it, but as soon as something happened to this ancestral temple, all the people of the criminal clan rushed here.

Since the entrance was in the back room, we didn't linger too much outside, and went straight inside after bypassing the large number of tablets.

In the back room, there are rows of bookshelves, and all that is left on the shelves is dust, and all that remains is basically worn old books.

I went up and took a look, and found that what was recorded in those books was probably the genealogy of the Xing clan. But this genealogy is really thin enough, and I guess there shouldn't be a few names on it.

Rong Rong used to monitor here, so she is very familiar with the news of the authorities here. He walked over to the bookshelf in the corner, where there was an incense burner.

The bookshelf was covered with a layer of dust, but the censer was clean, apparently someone had recently touched it.

Rong Rong gently removed the incense burner, and then reached out and grabbed a wooden board behind the bookshelf. I saw her hand gently buckle down, and I only heard a "pop" sound in my ears, but I saw the floor tiles on the ground slowly rising.

"This is the mechanism?"

Rong Rong nodded slightly, she pointed to the open space next to the bookshelf, and said, "That's the entrance." ”

With that, she stepped on the rising floor tiles. And at the moment when the floor tile was stepped on by her, the floor tile on the open ground was slightly raised.

"Go and lift that brick."

I nodded and ran over, lifting the tile hard, only to find that there was a knocker with a beast's head under the tile.

"This knocker can't be lifted!"

Rong Rong couldn't seem to leave the stone brick, so she could only command me remotely.

"It's definitely useless, you have to rotate clockwise."

I nodded, and rotated clockwise as she did. Sure enough, as I kept turning the knocker, I felt less and less pressure on my arm.

I felt that I was almost turning, so I lifted it up hard, and the iron door was directly lifted up by me.

But there was still no entrance under the iron gate, and it was pitch black inside, and it seemed to be a space less than half a person high.

Rong Rong walked up to me, reached in and groped for a long time, I don't know what she touched, in short, as soon as her hand was lifted, the bookshelf by the wall opened directly to one side.

"Why is it so troublesome?"

"Maybe the designer doesn't want outsiders to enter, I'm afraid that even the Xing clan doesn't know about this dark layer."

Rong Rong and I hurriedly talked about everything being restored, and then walked into the cave.

This ancestral hall is backed by a mountain, and the mountain is connected to the dirt slope. Two of us held flashlights prepared in advance and found that there was a pull tab behind this entrance.

Rong Rong stretched out her hand and gently pulled, and the bookshelf at the entrance was restored again. Rong Rong and I glanced at each other, took the flashlight and walked into the depths.

The entrance to this cave is very small, and only one person is allowed to pass through on the left and right, but the further you go inside, the more space there is, and by the time you are halfway there, you can already have two or three people on the left and right.

"Do you think this tunnel was built by your uncle?"

Rong Rong shook her head and said, "Probably not, under that kind of condition at that time, there would definitely be no way to build such a huge tunnel in just half a year." ”

"In other words, this place existed before your master came."

"Let's just say so, I guess that the female corpse should have been sealed underground by the uncle."

Walking along the road, we soon came to a large cave, which was large enough to accommodate hundreds of people at once.

Standing at the mouth of the cave, I followed my flashlight and looked inside.

"This should be a shelter in the village, like the tunnel war back then?"

Rong Rong nodded.

"It's possible."

There was nothing in the cave, so we stepped in. It was found that there are also two exits in the cave, one facing south and the other facing north.

"From where?"

Rong Rong looked at the two exits in front of her, thought for a while, and said, "It should be heading north, if I'm not mistaken, the base of the wooden pagoda is due north." ”

I probably understand what Rong Rong means, maybe this wooden tower doesn't exist at all. Her uncle just built a foundation, and directly below this foundation was the location where the female corpse was sealed.

"Did you say there was cement back in their time?"

Rong Rong shook her head and said, "There shouldn't be, I think the cement should be reinforced by later generations." ”

"Posterity...... This means that you are not the only one who knows about this matter, and there are still people who are worried about it. ”

"Yes, there are so many people going out in this village, and there will always be a word about it."

Behind this exit is a long and narrow corridor, and now in the middle of the corridor, I feel that the temperature around it is getting colder and colder.

"You feel it, there's something wrong with the aura in front of you."

I nodded, and subconsciously tightened my clothes.

I could feel a sense of righteousness, but I also felt a resentment around that Gu Zhengqi. The feeling was like a deflated balloon, and the resentment slowly poured out of the wound.

As we continued walking, we found the body of a man lying not far away. I hurried to check and saw that the man's face was handsome, his mouth was wide open, and his mouth was full of bitter taste.

"He was scared to death, and his courage was broken."

Rong Rong nodded slightly.

"Judging by the direction in which he fell, he should have escaped from inside, maybe...... There are more dead people inside. ”
