Sha Dutian cautiously illuminated the passage with a flashlight, for fear that many snakes would come out of it. The quiet passage was pitch black, there was nothing, and the expected snake nest did not even see a snake skin, which was much more than Shadu Tian expected. The cool breeze blew on Sha Dutian's bearded face, and he was happy in his heart, and if there was wind, it must be connected to another place.

Seeing that there was a passage under his cellar, Zhao Ruozhi's eyes widened, from childhood to adulthood, there was a passage in this place that he often came to, it was really incredible, he really couldn't understand who would dig a passage here, and what was the purpose of digging the passage.

Sha Dutian was very excited, he turned his head to Zhao Ruozhi and said, "Mentally retarded, I'm first, you follow me." ”

Before Zhao Ruozhi could answer, Sha Dutian held on to the wall of the cellar with both hands, entered the cave with both feet at the same time, and slid into the passage. Zhao Ruozhi gritted his teeth, and followed in with a ruthless heart, he didn't want to be alone with the beautiful snake lying on the ground.

After entering the passage, Zhao Ruozhi found that Sha Dutian was standing upright, not like bent in the cellar, he raised his head and looked at it, the top of the passage was still a certain distance from the top of Sha Dutian's head, he also straightened up, and pulled Sha Dutian's arm tightly with one hand, like a girl.

The passage is about a meter wide and long like a corridor, Zhao Ruozhi shines a flashlight on the wall, looking very nervous, for fear that something unclean will suddenly appear on the wall.

Sha Dutian knew that Zhao Ruozhi was afraid, but he didn't expect him to be afraid of being like this, so he grabbed his clothes and held on to them. He looked ahead and didn't find anything unusual, thinking that this place might have been abandoned a long time ago, and it was relatively safe for the time being. Sha Dutian said: "It seems that there is nothing abnormal here, it is likely to be used for hiding. ”

Hearing Sha Dutian's words, Zhao Ruozhi calmed down a little and let go of the hand holding Sha Dutian. After walking forward for about five minutes, Zhao Ruozhi saw a dirt bed open on the wall of the passage, and there were several niches on the wall, and a few books were neatly placed in the alcoves, although the books were old, there was no dust. There was also a hole in the wall opposite the earthen bed, and at the top of the hole there were droplets of water dripping, and below was a small pool of water, and the drops of water were dripping and tinkling. Under the light, the pool was crystal clear, and Zhao Ruozhi found that the water in the pool did not overflow, and he expected that there must be some clues at the bottom of the pool.

Sha Dutian casually took a book and said: "Who is so bored to read the Classic of Mountains and Seas here, it's really a pain in the idle egg." ”

Zhao Ruozhi saw the Classic of Mountains and Seas, took it from Sha Dutian's hand and flipped it over, and found that there was a label in the book, and the location of the label was the overseas North Classic: the god of Zhongshan, known as Candle Yin, regarded as day, blind as night, blowing as winter, calling for summer, not drinking, not eating, not resting, and breathing as wind. Thousands of miles long. In the east of Wuyi. It is a thing, a human face, a snake body, red, and lives under the bell mountain.

Seeing this content, Zhao Ruozhi remembered the snake in the cellar, the face shape of the snake head, could it be related to this book? But most of the Classic of Mountains and Seas are myths and legends, how can such a snake exist in reality? Could it be a domesticated snake? Thinking of this, Zhao Ruozhi's heart trembled.

Sha Dutian didn't see Zhao Ruozhi's expression, he continued to flip through the books in the alcove, he was not interested in books at all, and he didn't know what he was looking for, so he didn't find a reason for turning it over for a long time.

"Lao Sha" Zhao Ruozhi suddenly shouted.

Sha Dutian asked, "What's the matter, what treasure did you find?" ”

Zhao Ruozhi said: "I think the snakes in the cellar may have been specially raised. ”

Sha Dutian said incredulously: "Human-raised? It's impossible, this is your family, how can someone raise snakes under your house, besides, how can he only raise one snake, then he will pay for death. ”

Zhao Ruozhi handed over the book and said, "I don't know how many you raise, you look at this book, this is the bookmark left by the owner of the book here, and the content of this page is related to human snakes." Sha Dutian stretched his neck to look at the words in the book, he scratched his head with his hand, looked at the annoying ancient text, and said that he had a headache.

Zhao Ruozhi continued: "Moreover, have you noticed that the books here are very clean, although they are old, but there is no dust at all, and the owner of this manual often turns or cherishes these books." Then he pointed to the earthen bed and said, "This earthen bed is probably where the owner of the book sleeps." ”

Sha Dutian looked at the book in Zhao Ruozhi's hand, and then looked at the books in the alcove, they were indeed very clean, even the earthen bed was very clean, but it was very strange, there were no bedding and clothes on the earthen bed.

Sha Dutian asked puzzledly: "According to what you say, the owner of this book is nearby now?" That's weird, there's nothing in this bed, how did he sleep? ”

Zhao Ruozhi also went up to the earthen bed, looked at the book in the alcove and said: "I don't know about this, maybe he went out to run errands, in short, he must have come back from where we are going, or maybe this is his temporary foothold, so there is no bedding and clothes on the bed." ”

Sha Dutian was stunned, he picked up the fire pestle, stretched his head into the passage, and shone a flashlight on both sides of the passage, without any movement, he breathed a sigh of relief, he turned his head and found that Zhao Ruozhi was looking at another book. Sha Dutian was a little puzzled, why didn't the timid retarded mind panic at this time? On the contrary, he was a little uneasy in his heart, was he too worried, he was afraid that the owner of this book would come back suddenly, since he was a person who raised strange snakes, he was definitely not a good master.

Sha Dutian saw that Zhao Ruozhi was very quiet, so he asked: "Mentally retarded, what are you flipping, they are all broken books that you can't understand, what is there to see." ”

Zhao Ruozhi took a book and said: "Lao Sha, there are still books of the Mo family here, could it be that the owner of this book is a long-lost disciple of the Mo family?" No wonder he was able to raise that strange snake, if he was really from the Mo family, how could we get here so smoothly, it should be full of mechanisms, it's really strange. ”

Sha Dutian said disapprovingly: "Mentally retarded, are you in the water of your brain, what kind of Mo family, I think you are too much of cartoons, I think the owner of this book must be idle and bored, it is possible to buy a few books to see, just a few books to determine what the origin of the person is, you are too powerful." ”

Zhao Ruozhi thought about it, what Sha Dutian said was very reasonable, maybe he was thinking too much, he looked at the book in his hand, there was a giant monster drawn on the letter, with six long claws, clutching the ground tightly, there were no eyes on his thick face, there were two tentacles on his forehead, there were many gears inside his body, and there were some notes next to the pages, which was probably a structural analysis of this giant. Zhao Ruozhi was very interested in such a book, so he actually loaded it casually and stuffed the book into his backpack.

Sha Dutian didn't see Zhao Ruozhi take a book, he saw that there were no important clues and things here, so he got off the earthen bed and used a flashlight to shine on the passage in front of him, and the weak flashlight could not help him see the end of the passage.

Sha Dutian saw that Zhao Ruozhi was still reading with his head buried in his head, and said impatiently: "Mentally retarded, are you going to stay here and sleep." ”

Zhao Ruozhi only found out at this time that Sha Dutian was already standing in the passage, he knew that Sha Dutian was urging himself, he was very interested in sorting out the books in the alcove, and also jumped down from the earthen bed and said, "Let's go." ”

Sha Dutian is very worried about this book owner, if it is really according to Zhao Ruozhi, then he is likely to come from the front, in case he takes a picture, it will be embarrassing, he has become a burglar alive, he prayed in his heart that the book owner will not come back for the time being.

Zhao Ruozhi asked: "Lao Sha, what should we do if the master of this book comes back from the front?" ”

Sha Dutian was thinking about this, he snorted and said, "What else can I do, he dug through your cellar, why don't we go to him for a review?" Besides, sneaking under the houses of the common people and doing unseemly things is just so that we can eradicate evil and eliminate harm for the people. ”

Zhao Ruozhi thought to himself: "Although Sha Dutian suggested it for his own good, I always felt that he had some ulterior motives. He said: "I think we better be careful, we don't know how many people on the other side, look at this channel project, not a single person's effort." ”

Zhao Ruozhi's worries are not unreasonable, although Shadu usually likes to talk big, but in the face of the situation in front of him, he is still very cautious, he slows down and carefully follows the passage ahead.

Zhao Ruozhi paid attention to the back of the passage, the dark passage, he always felt that someone was following behind, he turned his head from time to time and shone the back of the passage with a flashlight, at this time, he heard the sound of 'buzzing', the sound was like a gale wind rolling the main pole of the tree, the main pole desperately resisted the fate of being broken, and let out a roar before the ruin.

Sha Dutian also heard a strange humming sound, and he thought to himself: "I don't know what happened ahead, there was no such sound when I first came in, and now that such a sound suddenly appears, will it be a bad omen." He paused and looked ahead.

Zhao Ruozhi asked in a low voice, "Lao Sha, what is that voice?" He was afraid that he had woken up some monster, and it was roaring angrily.

Sha Dutian frowned slightly and said: "Listening to the sound, it seems that it is not far from here, it may be a vent, and such a sound will be produced when the air is convection." He held the pestle tightly in case anything happened, and he added, "Retard, do you know where this direction leads?" ”

Zhao Ruozhi looked at the road, recalled it carefully, and said in surprise: "This direction leads to Sanfeng Mountain, is it possible that the exit is in the mountain?" ”

Sha Dutian nodded and said, "That's right, it must be a vent, the wind on the mountain is generally not small." He asked again, "Are the twelve street caves you mentioned far away from the Three Peaks Mountain?" ”

Zhao Ruozhi said puzzledly: "Not far away, the twelve street caves are at the foot of the mountain, opposite the Phoenix Terrace, if you follow this direction, it should be almost there." He couldn't understand why Sha Dutian was so interested in the boring Twelve Street Caves.

Sha Dutian pondered slightly: "I see. ”
