Got up and watched the little girl leave, looking at the bouncing figure, Zhong Zhengnan had mixed feelings, in this world, there are always some people with a breeze in their eyes, a bright moon, and there are always some people who will always have hope in their hearts, no matter how disappointed the world brings him.

After the little girl's figure disappeared at the end of the alley, Zhong Zhengnan also came to the main road from a corner, worthy of Kyoto, it is really easy to stop the car halfway, and he will come immediately.

In about half an hour, Zhong Zhengnan arrived at his destination, the Rejuvenation Hall in the west of the city.

When he arrived at the door, Zhong Zhengnan wanted to scold his mother, because the door in front of him was completely open, and when he looked inside the door, the front yard was in a mess, as if he had been patronized by bandits and robbers.

The house is not big, the style is old, and the front yard is roughly divided into two places for taking medicine and consulting from the furnishings, and it is a medical hall that is a little too simplified.

Zhong Zhengnan took a turn in the front yard, and really understood what it meant to be looted, even the medicinal materials in the medicine cabinet were gone, and the only thing that was still worth losing was the two large barrels of tung oil in the corner, and in addition, where was there any tatters to pick up.

Abandon the front yard and turn into the backyard, there is a small patio, surrounded by three houses, without exception, the same door is open, the same is a mess, but unlike the outside, there is a faint stench echoing in the backyard.

Zhong Zhengnan, who was especially unrelenting, rummaged through the three rooms one by one, but did not find anything of value, and sat down on a wooden stake the thickness of a basin with a curse. The wooden stake is about half a meter high, and it is full of knife marks, which should be used by the owner of the house to cut medicinal herbs, Zhong Zhengnan pulled a green shoot from the root of the wooden stake that is not yet dead, and looking at the appearance of the leaves, it should be a willow tree.

Just when Zhong Zhengnan was about to pat his ass and leave, Zhong Kui in Linghai suddenly said: "Stinky boy, just give up?" Don't look for it anymore? ”

"How do you find it? I've been turning back and forth for so long, and I'm three feet away from digging into the ground......"

In the middle of his words, Zhong Zhengnan suddenly reacted, this is often left as a Jindan monk, there must be a secret room or something like the place to secretly hide treasures, it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be a basement like his own pawn shop, and since he has not seen the traces of the entrance to the secret room that has been opened for so long, it means that no one has found it yet, maybe the real good things are still there.

Zhong Zhengnan, who was suddenly bright, suddenly jumped up from the stump, groped for every room, put his ear on the wall and knocked on it, and after working for a long time, he still found nothing, and returned to the stump with a depressed face and sat down.

"It doesn't make sense, it can't be without a secret room!"

Seeing Zhong Zhengnan working blindly like a headless fly, Zhong Kui just shook his head and didn't make a sound, until Zhong Zhengnan finished his busy work, he hated iron and said: "How did you find out about the secret method of the Zhong family, forgot?" Lao Tzu taught you Taoist spells, so that you don't do your job to look at beautiful girls? ”

Zhong Zhengnan's face was embarrassed, and he went directly to a room opposite the front yard across the patio, because this room was the most suspicious during the previous investigation.

When he first entered the backyard, Zhong Zhengnan faintly smelled a foul smell, somewhat like the smell of dead animals, when he walked into this room, the smell that was not very obvious suddenly became strong, so he was most attentive to the investigation of this room at that time, but unfortunately in the end it was in vain.

Now that there is a way to find a secret room, it is natural to start from the place with the greatest chance.

Coming to the middle of the room, a foul smell came to his nose, Zhong Zhengnan held his breath and condensed, chanting a spell, and everywhere the inner god within a radius of ten meters, everything became invisible, if you want to only look at something, you can only look at something, and if you want to see something else through something, it is also easy.

Slowly scanned the whole room, and finally saw a passage under a bed, Zhong Zhengnan was overjoyed, laughed and ran to move the bed, lay on the ground and gently knocked on the floor tiles covering the passage, and then knocked on the floor tiles without a passage next to him, the sound was exactly the same, Zhong Zhengnan didn't believe in evil, and knocked twice, but there was still no difference, so he wondered: "How is this no difference, is it also sealed with a spirit rune on the top of the passage?" ”

Zhong Kui was a little relieved, this kid was hopelessly stupid, clever and clever, "That's right, there is a spirit rune sealed at the entrance of the passage, which has two purposes, one is to prevent someone from knocking on bricks to explore the way, and the other is to prevent the passage from being forcibly broken!" ”

"Prevent forcible breaking? How do you say that? ”

"It's very simple, as soon as someone tries to forcibly open the passage, the spirit rune will burst open and destroy the passage!"

Zhong Zhengnan suddenly took away the hand that was pressed on the floor tile, for fear that if he accidentally triggered the spirit rune and destroyed the passage, he would lose a lot.

"How should I get in?"

There must be a way to get in, this talisman should only be used to prevent thieves, Zhong Zhengnan asked anxiously.

Zhong Kui frowned and thought for a while, and replied: "The spirit rune is easy to handle, but the trouble is the things in the passage!" ”

When Zhong Zhengnan heard this, he hurriedly looked at the inside of the passage, and was instantly terrified, the passage was long and narrow, and he couldn't see the end, but at this short distance near the entrance of the passage, a kind of insect that Zhong Zhengnan had never seen before was covered all over the passage. These insects are the size of a palm, resembling silkworm chrysalis, and the most frightening thing is that the insects have no head, only a mouth, and they are two, distributed at both ends of the body, and the mouth is jagged teeth.

Zhong Zhengnan gasped and said in horror: "This ...... What is it? ”

"It's a soul corpse silkworm, a good soul carrion, of course, they don't refuse living people, and these things seem to be soft but actually very hard, and knives and axes are hard to hurt!"

Zhong Kui's tone was flat, but Zhong Zhengnan was in a cold sweat when he heard it, and he said unwillingly: "Then what should I do?" It's all here, how can I go back empty-handed!"

"There are ways to do it, and it's easy to do, but there are some risks! These things are naturally water-friendly and fire-resistant, so burn them and you're done!"

"And what are the risks you are talking about?"

Zhong Kui smiled, "The risk is that if the fire is too strong and burns all the rags you are going to pick up, wouldn't it be even more wasteful!"

Zhong Zhengnan thought about it, but he couldn't make a decision quickly, and asked tentatively again: "This is the only way?" ”

Zhong Kui nodded and held up a finger, "With your current cultivation and physical condition, there is only one way!"

"Then do it! I admit that the baby burned it! Sometimes you have to have it in your life! ”

Thinking of the two barrels of tung oil in the corner of the front yard, Zhong Zhengnan guessed that maybe burning the corpse silkworms was an alternative plan for often staying in the secret room, if this was true, it would indicate that the fire would not affect the secret room itself, so Zhong Zhengnan gritted his teeth and made this decision.

If this decision destroys the secret room, it is nothing more than "life has no time", just don't force it, although he has always said that he is afraid of losing, but Zhong Zhengnan knows very well that what he has never owned in the first place cannot be lost at all, so he is still afraid of a bird!

Hurriedly moving two barrels of tung oil to the house and removing the lid of the oil cans, Zhong Zhengnan asked, "Are you sure you can burn them to death with fire?" Is it really okay to get this charm? ”

Zhong Kui Yuanshen left the spiritual sea and appeared beside Zhong Zhengnan in a spirit state, glanced at the spirit rune, and said disdainfully: "A yellow rune is not so helpless that I will be helpless, I will strip the spirit rune off the floor tiles later, you just set it on fire!" ”

"Open the passageway, and those things won't come out and eat me?"

Zhong Kui's five fingers formed a hook, aimed at the spirit rune hidden in the floor tiles, and began to slowly lift up, a light cyan spirit rune pattern slowly emerged on the floor tiles, and at the same time said to Zhong Zhengnan: "Soul corpse silkworms, the movement speed is extremely slow, but the reproductive ability is extremely strong, so it is often used in tombs, in order to target tomb robbers!" You don't have to worry about them coming out, just set them on fire! ”

The spirit rune was torn into the air by Zhong Kui without knowing what magic power he used, and then he held it hard, and the spirit rune completely dissipated, Zhong Zhengnan saw this, and quickly took out the long sword frost snow and pried the floor tiles open.

The suffocating stench and the squirming sound made Zhong Zhengnan's scalp numb for a while, and he didn't dare to look at the entrance of the passage, so he poured two barrels of tung oil directly into it, and then took out a piece of tattered clothes picked up from the yard, lit it and threw it into the passage, and suddenly the whole passage was full of fire, if it wasn't for Zhong Zhengnan's fast flash, he would have been burned into a monk by the fire that just burst out of the passage.

Listening to the crackling sound like firecrackers coming from time to time in the passage, Zhong Zhengnan's face had some joy, it seemed that this fire attack method was still useful, and he asked Zhong Kui during this gap: "If there was no Tao Mu that day, how sure are you to kill that snake?" Don't anything about the heyday, I wonder what your situation is now? How much combat power do you have? ”

Zhong Kui glared, "Don't believe it, Lao Tzu really has that ten percent certainty that he will destroy the little snake demon, but the Yuan Shen will completely disappear afterwards, when Lao Tzu Yuan Shen first arrived in the world, he also had a Yuan Infant peak combat power, now this is not a waste of twenty years, and it took eight or nine out of ten to deal with the Corpse King last time, so at present, in your world, there is barely a cultivation in the Dao Period, if you work hard, it is not a problem to beat a Jindan master at the next level!" ”

Zhong Zhengnan nodded, squinted at Zhong Kui Yuanshen, and said: "I can probably guess that you must have done something wrong to be expelled from the divine class, and you came to the world to make up for something, so don't keep thinking about dying, and then throw the burden to me, and have the ability to do it yourself!" ”

Zhong Kui was a little puzzled, and wondered: "Why are you kid suddenly so concerned about my current situation and how much combat power you have?" ”

"I'm very afraid of death, and I'm also afraid that because I killed the people around me, to be honest, I fell into the life and death crisis of the Tao house, I was really afraid, the master almost died, at that time, I was desperate and sincere, it was not my righteous and awe-inspiring fight for the Tao family, it was my own life and death struggling!"

Zhong Zhengnan looked at Zhong Kui very seriously, and then said: "If I have the ability to help others, of course I am happy to help, but let me know that I can't do it and still have to be strong, I really can't do it!" ”

Zhong Kui still didn't understand, "What does this have to do with the question you asked me?" ”

Zhong Zhengnan suddenly twisted, his voice was a little weaker, and said: "Now that I have started to practice, a little carelessness is a matter of life and death, I asked that, in fact, I want to have an assessment of my side, next time I meet an opponent, whether I am qualified to fight with someone or not, I also have points in my heart!" ”

"What if you can't beat it?"

"Nonsense, run away, of course!"

The fire gradually decreased, and there was more scorching smell in the previous stench, Zhong Zhengnan finally had the courage to lie down at the mouth of the passage and look in, this small piece in front of him was full of corpses of insects exploding from the middle, and there was nothing else.

After the fire dissipated, he had to wait for the temperature of the passage to cool down, after all, he Zhong Zhengnan did not have the ability to walk in the sea of fire and wade in the oil pot without hurting the slightest.

Nearly an hour later, Zhong Zhengnan approached the passage, stepped on the crunchy dead insects, smelled the pungent stench, and moved forward step by step, but fortunately, after crossing the insect swarm, he got up smoothly, and did not encounter any "roadblocks" along the way.

With the spell blessing his eyes, Zhong Zhengnan still walked forward unhindered in the passage where he couldn't see his five fingers, and the further he went, the stronger the smell.

Zhong Zhengnan, who was cautiously advancing with a long sword in his hand, saw a corner in front of him after walking a distance of about fifty meters, and there was a bright light around the corner, and it seemed that the real secret room was in front of him.

Walking to a bright place, Zhong Zhengnan glanced back at the passage he had just walked through, and couldn't help but complain: "This Chang Stay is also amazing, at such a long distance, he built a secret room under someone else's house!" ”

Zhong Kui, who had already returned to Zhong Zhengnan's Linghai before entering the secret path, said with a smile: "Who in the world does not regard cultivation resources as important as life, and it is reasonable to hide them deeply!" ”

With the light, Zhong Zhengnan directly withdrew the spell, after all, there is not much spiritual energy accumulated in the Linghai in the past two days, and most of it is still used by Zhong Kui to fill the land, there is really not much left, if it is not necessary, don't use it if you can, if you can leave a point.

The light came out of a blue brick basement, less than ten meters away from the corner, and from a distance, in the middle of the secret room were two cabinets with their backs to about two meters high, on which were placed many porcelain bottles and wooden boxes, which should be all the belongings that were always left.

Zhong Zhengnan, who was used to being cautious, rushed in as soon as he was obsessed with money, but first asked Zhong Kui if there was any kind of prohibition, even if Zhong Kui said no, he still threw the long sword at the entrance of the secret room with confidence.

The long sword passed through the entrance and fell to the ground without any movement, and Zhong Zhengnan entered the secret room in Zhong Kui's white eyes.

The stench was stinking, Zhong Zhengnan just entered the secret room and smelled a stench that was a hundred times stronger than the outside, he even felt that the stench was a little smoky, and bent down to pick up the long sword on the ground, but he unintentionally caught a glimpse of a thick pool of black water away from the left arm of the long sword.

A female corpse without half a piece of clothing on her body was "pasted" on the wall, her body had begun to fester, there were black spots everywhere, there were maggots wriggling in her eyes and nose, and there was a transparent water tank on the left and right of the female corpse, and there was a tube at the bottom of the water tank that extended to the heart of the female corpse and pierced into the body.

Zhong Zhengnan was in a cold sweat, his legs and feet were weak, and he couldn't move, so he stayed where he was.
