Shu Shan approached the row of bookshelves on the left, leaving a half-man-wide space between the bookshelves and the wall, and only by turning sideways could he squeeze into it.

He rotated the oil lamp on the wall three times to the left and four times to the right. As soon as Shu Shan let go, the oil lamp entered the wall, and soon there was a sound of a machine twisting from the wall, and a stone door slowly opened in the darkness.

Shu Shan turned around and said to the two people behind him who were looking surprised, "Both, let's go this way?" ”

"Here?" Chu Huai incredulously pointed to the road that could almost be regarded as a gap, "The entrance is actually located in this kind of place?" ”

"It's a shame to say that this is the old village owner in order to make the basement more private, so he chose such a place, if he is a little fatter, he really can't get by. The two of them followed behind Xiao Sheng, and they would definitely be able to enter. ”

After speaking, Shu Shan took the lead in getting up sideways, facing the wall, his body was close to him, and he moved in small steps, looking carefully at his back, he could still see that there was still a little distance from the back of the bookshelf.

Chu Huai looked at his figure, it seemed that he was not much different from Shu Shan, since he could go over so easily, then he shouldn't have any problems. Just thinking so, Chu Huai approached the aisle according to Shu Shan's posture, but the moment he walked in, he was stuck.

"Poof." The mandarin duck covered his mouth, but he still laughed, "Master, I didn't expect you to be so fat." ”

"What are you thinking? How can I be fat? Chu Huai glanced at the mandarin duck, obviously dissatisfied with her mocking herself.

"Lord Chugu, don't be angry when you come in." Shu Shan stood at the stone gate, although he couldn't see his expression, but listening to his voice, he was indeed dyed with a smile, "If you try to lift your breath, you won't be able to get through, it's better to take it easy and it will be easier to come in." ”

"I see."

Chu Huai relaxed the whole person, compared with Fang Cai, it was indeed much easier, this time, he obviously felt that the gap between the bookshelf and the wall seemed to have become larger, and he turned sideways and walked in, and he inexplicably felt a little spacious.

It was very dark inside, Chu Huai groped for the wall, but still didn't find any place where the stone door was sunken, "Master Shu, where are you, why didn't I find where the door you opened after I left?" ”

"Master Chugu, don't worry, just go further."

Shu Shan's voice seemed to come from directly in front of him, but everywhere his hands touched, except for the stone wall, there were only wooden bookshelves.

"Walking forward......" Suddenly, Chu Huai felt the strength on his wrist tighten, and the whole person was pulled inward unguardedly.

Soon, under the influence of this power, Chu Huai threw his body forward, and the whole person threw himself directly into the stone gate, and the person who had been pulling his wrist was Shu Shan.

There was a faint candlelight in the stone gate, and I think it should have been lit after Shushan entered. At the foot of Chu Huai is a staircase that extends downward, and the firelight can only illuminate a short way forward, and further down, there is endless darkness.

The mandarin duck was soon helped into the stone gate, Shu Shan picked up the oil lamp placed on the ground, and Chu Huai held the small jar containing the Seven Lives Gu for him, letting the mandarin duck walk between the two and walk at the end.

The firelight was only enough to illuminate the feet of the two of them, which caused Chu Huai to be in a state of moving forward in the dark, but fortunately, his eyes adapted to the darkness relatively quickly, otherwise he was really afraid that he would accidentally step on the air and bump into the two.

Fortunately, Shu Shan quickly walked to the flat ground, he placed the oil lamp on a table made of polished stone, and then walked to the corner, squatted down, not knowing what he was doing.

But soon, as Shu Shan got up and walked to the next corner, the corner where he had been squatting was lit up, and Chu Huai saw clearly that it was a huge night pearl lying quietly in the box that had been opened. With Shu Shan's squatting, the four corners soon lit up, illuminating the entire basement as if it were daytime.

The stone table was placed in the center of the basement, although it was not large, but on the ground against the wall around it, it was full of jars exactly the same as those in Chu Huai's hand.

"These are the failures of the Seven Lives Gu." Shu Shan took the jar in Chu Huai's hand and the dark purple book in the mandarin duck's hand, put it on the stone table, and invited the two of them to sit down on the stone bench with him.

"Why put the failed product here?" The mandarin duck was very puzzled.

"The protozoa of the Seven Birth Gu can't see the light, as soon as they see the light, they will become rampaging monsters, even if they are failures, that is, they are already dead, as long as they see the sun, they will immediately come back to life and begin to mutate."

"Mutation? Gu worms can even mutate? ”

"Well, it's just that only the Seven Lives Gu will be like this, although it has never been recorded in the annals, but this does exist."

"And what happens if it mutates?"

"This ...... I'm sorry, Xiao Chang is so big but I have never seen the original Gu worm mutation, this statement is also what the old village owner told Xiao Sheng. However, at that time, I heard him say that there had been no proto-Gu worm mutation for hundreds of years, and we had always been very careful to pack it in such an opaque jar. ”

The mandarin duck nodded as if he didn't understand, "So that's the case, no wonder I saw that the other Gu were all packed in glass jars, but only the Seven Life Gu were different from them." ”

"That's right, Xiaosheng was packed in a wooden box again, just for double insurance, and I was afraid that someone would break the jar."

"Will there be such excesses?"

"After all, the rumors of Qisheng Gu are very tempting, and if you can make your beloved fall in love with yourself completely, naturally many people will come to the door to ask for Gu, but they are all rejected by Xiaosheng."

"But even so, you're still going to give me the Seven Lives Gu......"

"Who made the valley master Chu a friend of Xiaosheng, then the apprentice of the valley master is also a friend of Xiaosheng, if the friend wants it, how can there be a reason not to give it?" Chu Huai, who had been listening quietly to the two of them, couldn't help but take over the mandarin duck's words.

"Master Shu, if there is anything that I or Huaihua Valley can help me in the future, please just say it, and I will definitely do my best to repay you."

"Lord Chu Gu, you are serious, how can it be so exaggerated as you said, this is just a very ordinary thing, just like the medicine you gave to Xiaosheng back then, which can make begonia flowers grow healthily in the Western Regions."

Chu Huai's expression was stunned, and he said in a trembling voice: "Do you remember? ”

"This is natural, you helped Xiaosheng so much at that time, Xiaosheng didn't have time to thank you, he was already locked up in the house by the old village owner, how could Xiaosheng forget this kindness?"

"I thought you had forgotten about it a long time ago...... Chu Huai's brows that had been frowning finally stretched out, revealing a knowing smile, so an unintentional move many years ago can be remembered until now, it turns out to be such an easy thing to satisfy!

"How can it be, since then, Xiaosheng has made up his mind to repay you well, and it's great to be able to help you now."
