Xiao He knew that Mu Churan was scaring her, so he glanced at him angrily, "Everyone is going to be scared to death, are you still in the mood to joke?" ”

This place is eerie and scary.

Mu Churan looked at the surrounding environment, shook the torch, the flames jumped twice with his shaking, and the light and shadow also dimmed, and said to Xiao He with a wicked taste: "Is this okay?" ”

Xiao He was going crazy, under the shadow just now, she seemed to see something flashing, and hurriedly pointed over there and shouted, "Okay, don't be kidding, let's see if there's something over there?" I just saw something passing, someone else, right? ”

In this case, they are not familiar with the place, but the other party is familiar with the environment, if they really want to deal with them, just ambush in a place they don't think of, and break out, they will definitely suffer.

Hearing Xiao He's words, Mu Churan's face turned solemn, put away his joking mentality, and slowly walked towards the direction Xiao He was pointing just now with a torch, but Xiao He didn't dare to stay next to the skull alone, took Mu Churan's arm, and followed his steps, and went over there.

It was close to the window, and the shadow of the flame could still be seen outside the window, and there was also a little light that came in, Mu Churan and Xiao He lay there and watched for a long time, and saw that the footprints on the windowsill were like a mouse's footprints, very small, and occasionally the squeak of a mouse sounded.

"Oh," Mu Churan straightened up after reading it, and gave Xiao He a reassuring look, "It turns out that it's just a few mice, don't be afraid." ”

Xiao He breathed a sigh of relief at this time, but he was unusually dissatisfied with Mu Churan's behavior just now, and made a suggestion, "Don't joke with me here." Otherwise, if I don't get killed by those secret weapons or something, I will be scared to death by you first. ”

She is not a little timid, and she has climbed mountains and entered caves by herself in the past. However, being brave is not small, and in such an environment, next to a skeleton, even if you are not small, you will be a little scared.

Regarding Xiao He's proposal, Mu Churan readily agreed, this place is indeed not suitable for joking anymore. In fact, he was so scared of Xiao He just now, and he didn't really want to scare her, but he just looked at the surrounding environment and wanted her to relax. It's just that I didn't expect his action to be counterproductive.

Since he knew that Xiao He didn't like it, he naturally wouldn't do it again.

Besides, if there is any real danger for a while, why does Xiao think he is joking, wouldn't he really be in danger?

Therefore, Mu Churan said to Xiao He: "From now on, you remember, I won't make any jokes with you again, if I say that there is danger, then there is really danger, you must find a way to save yourself, you know?" ”

Xiao He saw that Mu Churan said solemnly, and nodded seriously, and at the same time she was not angry in her heart, since she entered this house, she has always been very serious, taking everything here seriously, carefully looking at whether there are hidden weapons, and carefully looking at whether there are any holes under her feet, only Mu Churan has been unsuccessful again and again, scaring her half to death.

"I see, I'll take notice." Although he was angry in his heart, Xiao He would not make an awkward fuss at this time, and while looking around, he nodded, indicating that she would definitely take his words seriously for a while.

After saying this, Mu Churan's expression immediately became serious, holding the torch in one hand, grabbing Xiao He's hand while slowly turning around, while observing the surrounding environment.

There was nothing to observe in this environment, just some ordinary furniture, which they had already seen when they first entered.

Except for the skull sitting in the middle, which is different from ordinary people, everything else is very ordinary.

"Where do you think the mechanism will be?" Xiao He followed Mu Churan, bypassed the skull again, asked as he walked, walked a few steps, and frequently looked back to see if the skull would get up and bite her rashly.

What reassured Xiao He was that the skull was just a skull, and it didn't suddenly erupt arrows and daggers from his mouth or from the eye sockets of the black hole.

But Xiao He was still not at ease, following Mu Churan to take a step, he had to look back, take a step, take a look, it was like having some kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Mu Churan shook his head amusefully when he saw Xiao He's movements, he never knew that Xiao He's courage was so small, he would be afraid of skulls? She is like this, if she goes outside, how can she survive without his protection? Won't be bullied to death? It seems that he can only suffer a little more and help her.

"I don't know," Mu Churan replied directly and frankly to Xiao He's question, "I didn't build this house." ”

This is true, this house was indeed not built by Mu Churan.

Just, what's the use of saying that now?

Xiao He gently pushed Mu Churan, "Then why don't you hurry up and find it?" After a while, Zheng Xianfeng will come back, let's not talk about saving people, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out. ”

Zheng worships that kind of martial arts, Xiao He feels that even if all the killers in Weiyang Palace are combined, I am afraid that they will not be his opponents. If you want to defeat him, you must find another way, such as a secret weapon, such as poisoning.

Regarding Zheng Xianfeng's departure, Xiao He also had a hunch, that is, he didn't really go to put out the fire.

When she first came to report to him, Zheng Xianfeng's face had always been very flat, until she said the word "master", pointed to the fire, and deliberately guided him to the place where Liu Zong'an was still in the study, his face changed, and he began to care about the fire in the study.

From this point of view, Zheng Xianfeng didn't care what the fire of the Liu family would burn, nor did he care whether the Liu family would become destitute because of this fire, he only cared about Liu Zongan.

As long as Liu Zongan is fine, even if the Liu family is burned to the ground, Xiao He estimates that Zheng Xianfeng will not show the slightest intention of helping.

Only when Liu Zongan is in danger will Zheng Xian be in a hurry.

As for the study, Liu Zongan was not there, and when the fire was set at that time, the two of them were afraid that there would be many secret guards or killers in the dark rain over there, so they didn't dare to go forward, so they didn't know if Liu Zongan was there.

According to Zheng Xianfeng's performance just now, if Liu Zongan is not there, he will definitely detect something wrong, and he will definitely rush back as soon as possible, so there is not much time left for them, they must find the secret passage as soon as possible, find the people inside, and take them out safely.

After thinking about it, Xiao He looked at Mu Churan, his brows were furrowed, his arms were tight, and he was trying to think about it at a glance.

Looking at the pictures in front of him for a while, Mu Churan suddenly turned around and looked at the window lattice, where a little light came in.

"What's wrong?" Xiao He Mu asked with a strange expression.

"I might probably find the entrance to the secret passage." After Mu Churan finished speaking, he handed the torch to Xiao He, "You help me hold it." ”

Xiao He was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly took the torch and raised it high to illuminate Mu Churan.

Mu Churan stood in place, turned left and right, and then took two steps to the left and two steps to the right under the light, and then stopped on a square brick.

Mu Churan's face was happy, nodded, and said, "This is it." ”

Then he squatted down and knocked on the bricks with his hands, Xiao He heard it clearly, it was obvious that the sound under the bricks was relatively hollow, the bricks were empty, and there was a secret passage underneath.

Xiao He was also smiling, if it weren't for the fact that the environment here was really inappropriate, she would have raised her hands and cheered.

Mu Churan stood on the square brick and looked at it for a moment, took out a dagger, inserted it into the gap of the square brick, and pried the brick up with a slight force.

Underneath the bricks, a black hole was revealed, and underneath the opening, there were steps made of bricks that stretched into the darkness.

It's just that in the farthest distance, a little light came through the cave, and Xiao He guessed that it was about the light of the secret room.

"You..." Mu Churan took the torch and wanted Xiao He to wait here before entering the secret passage.

Xiao He knew why he did this, but he was afraid that there would be danger underground and hurt her, but she looked at the skull in the distance, tightened the clothes on her body, and shook her head suddenly, "Don't you want to leave me alone, I tell you, I will never stay alone with that skull." ”

Mu Churan looked at the surrounding environment, and had no choice but to stretch out his hand to her, "Don't run around for a while, and don't touch anything." ”

Xiao He was a little dissatisfied with Mu Churan's behavior of treating her as a three-year-old child, and muttered: "I'm not a three-year-old child, how can I touch things here?" ”

After saying that, he pouted, which was very cute.

Mu Churan took a look, scratched her nose, and said, "Don't talk big, who told me about that skull just now, it might be a ball?" ”

"Huh?" Xiao He was speechless, as if she was indeed speaking.

"Let's go, Zheng Fengfeng should come back in a while." After saying this, Mu Churan didn't want to waste time, so he took Xiao He and went down.

There is no dust on the steps, and the air inside the cave is still fresh, so it looks like it is used regularly. Mu Churan and Xiao He glanced at each other, it seems that if someone is really tied up, it should be here.

The two of them carefully looked at their feet along the way, did not dare to touch anything, and reached the secret room unimpeded.

Seeing the scene in the secret room, Xiao He was stunned.

It's not because it's so bloody or how hard to accept, but because it's so normal that it makes people suspicious.

Several of the killers in Weiyang Palace were separated one by one and locked in a small room with separate partitions. The gate is a fence so that you can see clearly from the outside.

There was unfinished food in front of those killers, and it could be seen that chicken, duck and fish were available, and the food was good.

The killers were also intact, fair-skinned, cleanly dressed, well raised, and not tortured.

Xiao He muttered a little in his heart, Liu Zongan is so kind, willing to raise these killers?
