"Lost your shoes and asked for directions??" Mo Chen's face was black, and he raised his eyebrows and looked at Zheng Yi incredulously.

?? Zheng Yi licked his lips and did this "improper" thing with an extremely serious expression.

Zheng Yi closed his eyes, held his shoes in his hands, muttered in his mouth, waved towards the two forks in the road, threw his hand forward, snapped, and the shoes that were thrown out fell to the bright passage.

Mo Chen snorted, "It's decided, just go here?" ”

Zheng Yi waved a finger and shook it at Mo Chen, "NO!" NO！ NO！ Go for this! He pointed to another dark passageway.

"Childish!" Mo Chen muttered, and walked in first, feeling a little regretful in his heart, he really shouldn't have come over to check on Zheng Yi's condition, and now he can't help but accompany him to "go crazy" underground.

Zheng Yi was in a good mood humming a little song, put on his shoes, walked two steps around to explore the road in front of Mo Chen, and said, "An!" Brother Yi protects you! ”

The two of them went one after the other, tentatively groping forward, Mo Chen stretched out his hand and wiped it on the top of his head, except that the family at the entrance of the cave was a little short, the more he walked inside, Mo Chen found that they could actually stand up straight, and there was no need to worry about touching the cave wall above their heads.

"I said Brother Yi, you won't think of a way to get some light out!" Mo Chen reached out and touched Zheng Yi's shoulder, patted it, and said to him.

Walking forward in the dark, not to mention moving slowly, it is impossible to see clearly what lies ahead, not to mention the potential danger, even if there is a stumbling stone on the ground, there is no way to notice.

"Please be objective and respectful, your requirements are not in the scope of small services." Zheng Yi didn't reply properly, although he couldn't see the outline of the other party clearly, Mo Chen still made up Zheng Yi's cheap look.

I don't know how long I walked, Mo Chen only felt that the time was very long, I don't know if it was because of the time spent in the dark for a long time, the human eyes would break through the physiological limit and adapt to the environment they were in, or because of Zeus in the body. Mo Chen slowly felt that light gradually began to appear around him, and as they moved forward, he could see the road under his feet more and more vaguely.

Zheng Yi suddenly trotted two steps and shouted, "It's almost the end." ”

Mo Chen took two steps, their vision gradually widened, and they finally walked out of the dark passage and came to a cave clearing that was slightly different from before. Zheng Yi, who went out first, blew on the wall, and the bright fire suddenly lit up, Mo Chen saw that it was a homemade torch placed on the wall, and the torch was tied with an oilcloth on its head, I don't know what material it was, and it was bright when it was windy.

By the light of the fire, Mo Chen saw that there were two bookshelves neatly placed in this cave, and in the middle was a bright red solid wood desk, and the desktop was displayed with pen, ink, paper, inkstone and other things in the study.

I didn't expect that there was a cave in this underground, and looking at the posture of this cave, it seems that someone had lived here. This cave is not the end of the secret passage, next to the wall of the bookshelf, Mo Chen saw that there are two other holes. Zheng Yi took off the torch, lit the oil lamp on the bookshelf and desk, and went into the hole in one of the branches.

"Don't run around!" Mo Chen shouted, Zheng Yi waved his hand, signaling that he was just checking it and would come back immediately.

There are many books on the shelves, except for some famous calligraphy and paintings, which are the genealogy and ancestral teachings of the Qian family.

A booklet with a black cover suddenly caught Mo Chen's eyes, the handwriting on the cover may have been moldy for a long time, or because of some external reasons, so that now I can only see four lumps of ink on it, I don't know what is written.

Because the handwriting in the booklet was extremely unclear like the cover, and the many pages in the middle were torn off, Mo Chen could only reluctantly sort out the words and phrases in one place, and understand the things crowded in this booklet by himself.

Mo Chen didn't see the record of the world, so he could only guess that the ancestor of the Qian family was an official of the Qing court. Because he knew the secret of an invisible person of a royal relative, he was forced to flee with his family and even change his name. Later, he settled here, abandoned the official to engage in business, and the ancestor of the Qian family took a lot of silver taels with him when he fled, and he was originally very smart, but he didn't expect to do business prosperously, and he lived a rich and prosperous life.

And the person who built this underground secret passage is the ancestor of the Qian family, and the purpose is to prevent the enemy from pursuing it here, and play a role in saving his life. Mo Chen saw from the record that this secret passage had multiple exits, connecting the Qian family's compound on the ground. In addition, two exits have been set up, and you can escape into the mountains, which can be described as three caves of cunning rabbits. It's just that, for the sake of safety, the secret passage is designed to be extremely cumbersome, and many forks are arrogantly connected, among which there is also an ambush of the agency, and only the successive heads of the Qian family know this secret.

Seeing this, Mo Chen breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they were lucky enough to find the exit, he and Zheng Yi would still have a chance to escape from here. It is worth praying that they don't fall into an ambush.

According to the records in the booklet, Mo Chen learned that the extremely attractive Qian family's treasure hiding place was within this secret passage. The way to open the "treasure house" is the double dragon jade pendant that Haitang asked Qian Tianlong for before.

"Old Mo!" Zheng Yi called out to Mo Chen and hurriedly ran back.

Without waiting for Mo Chen to ask, Zheng Yi pulled him to the fork in the road he had just entered, shouting, "Guess what I found?" ”

"Did you find the exit?" Mo Chen asked, if it weren't for the exit, Mo Chen really didn't know what else was worth Zheng Yi so excited about.

"It's not!" Zheng Yi said, forcibly pulling Mo Chen, bypassing a cave that branched out from the fork in the road, burrowing into the secret passage that branched again, and came to an extremely spacious open space.

Zheng Yi spread Mo Chen's arm, Mo Chen stood in place and didn't dare to move his steps, the scarlet lines on the open space arrogantly outlined a pattern similar to the Western magic array. Different from the common magic array, between the arrogant lines of the magic circle, there are some religious symbols, and at each intersection, a yellow table paper is pressed with stones, which are probably spells.

In the middle of the circle, a rectangular box half a meter in size, the lid of the box was thrown aside, and from Mo Chen's angle, it could be seen that it was empty and there was nothing. The walls around the cave, with each wall, are hung with a square red flag, and the flannel flag is embroidered with strange patterns with golden threads, showing a strange atmosphere.

Mo Chen frowned, his face was particularly gloomy, although he didn't know much about these strange sects, he had a hunch that this magic circle seemed to be a bit evil. He asked, "These...... What is it for? ”

Zheng Yi rubbed his chin and snorted coldly, "Hmph! What can be done, it's not an unsightly deed. ”
