20, Shen Lang of Tricky Death (middle)

When I went out, I saw that the moonlight was like water, and the clear light was sprinkled all over, and when I looked up, there seemed to be a mist rising in the mist. It was one of a row of bungalows, the two ends of which were connected to the wall, extending at a right angle of ninety degrees, and connecting to the wings on the left and right. Obviously, similar to most ancestral halls, the ancestral hall of the West Ancestral Hall in Wenfeng Town is also a quadruple courtyard. The house in front of the bungalow is built on a foundation half a meter high, with green bricks and green tiles, solemn and solemn, and the vicissitudes of life are silent.

Shen Lang couldn't help but calm down, and he said softly: "Brother Wei, Brother Chen, I'll go over and open the tunnel first, and you guys wait here for a while." With that, he walked to the corner behind what was supposed to be the main ancestral hall, looked around, and then disappeared into the shadows.

"What do you think, madman?" Wei Fei looked at Shen Lang's fleeting back, "I have a feeling that this kid Shen Lang seems to be the same as us, he knew that Zhang Tongzu's life was a catastrophe, and when he drank last night, he wanted to get Zhang Tongzu and you and me drunk." You see what he did just now, they were planning and then acting, and they were methodical, but ...... If he really knew that Zhang Tongzu was in calamity, why did he pull Zhang Tongzu to see what kind of Kui Xing Dou? ”

Chen Feng pondered for a moment, "I have also thought about this, Shen Lang is concerned about Zhang Tongzu's death, or Shen Lang knows that Zhang Tongzu will have a catastrophe, but he has always been a teenager, he is too playful, and he can't imagine Zhang Tongzu's catastrophe, but it is a matter of life." However, one thing is certain, behind Shen Lang, there should be someone guiding him. ”

"Not bad!" Wei Fei nodded heavily, "Although this kid has some potential, with his current experience and strength, he can't do it." But madman, who is the man behind him? And for what purpose? "If Shen Lang came to save them at someone's behest, then did this person already know that he and Chen Feng were the descendants of the Qimen, and was it related to the person who made their trip to the northwest?

"No matter who this person is, he has no ill will towards us for the time being." Chen Feng thought for a moment, "Otherwise, he wouldn't have let Shen Lang come to save us, and this person doesn't know our true identity at least for now, but ...... He saved us, I'm afraid it's not that simple. ”

At this moment, Shen Lang suddenly stretched out his head, "Brother Wei, Brother Chen, come with me." "In front of it is a square courtyard, with a big tree planted in each of the four corners, and in front of the main ancestral hall where the three people have just turned, there is also a platform. Wei Fei and Chen Feng knew that it was the altar used to perform the ceremony at the shrine. In a town like Wenfeng Town, which has an ancient heritage, when the shrine is sacrificed, it will not be as simple as the incense palace ceremony, the ritual is a set of extremely complex procedures, choosing a day to fast, the date and the hour, all pay attention to it, and the confession also needs to be written by a special person, and a complete set often takes three days to complete.

Shen Lang led Chen Feng Weifei to a room on the left, there was a plaque hanging on the door, but the moonlight was faint, and he couldn't see what was written. The window of the room was ajar, Shen Lang turned over and got in, turned around and waved at Wei Fei and Chen Feng. The two of them did not hesitate, and directly followed in. Shen Lang's appearance has made things more complicated and inexplicable, but there is no need for them to show their identities, anyway, the two of them can leave Wenfeng Town at any time, so they might as well follow Shen Lang to see who is hiding behind him.

This house is supposed to be the layout of a hall, and in the wide space, there are faint rows of black shadows standing upright. Chen Feng and Wei Fei couldn't help but be shocked in their hearts, but then they realized that these black shadows were not people, but rows of stone tablets. This kind of stele is called "Monument of Fame", and it is found in the ancestral halls of wealthy families. However, although the stele is called "Monument of Merit", what is engraved on it is not a lifetime fame, but a chant left by the ancestors. After reading hard in the cold window, after winning the fame, they generally have to return to their hometowns in fine clothes, worship the ancestral hall, and then chant a song, inscribe the inscription, and stay in the ancestral hall forever. This hall should be the famous monument of the champions of the Western Ancestral Hall.

"Brother Wei, Brother Chen, come here." Shen Lang was behind a stone tablet in the corner of the wall, and greeted Wei Fei and Chen Feng. The two of them bypassed the rows of stone tablets, but saw that Shen Lang had already gone down half of his body into a hole. The entrance to the cave was square, and there was a stone tablet lying horizontally on the ground next to it, which was obviously used to cover the tunnel.

Following Shen Lang down into the tunnel, where he landed was a slope, groping his way down for seven or eight meters, and the terrain gradually flattened. Shen Lang, who was walking in front, stopped, and lit the lighter with a "pop", he shone on the earthen wall beside him, and suddenly there was a "whoop", and the surroundings suddenly lit up, and Shen Lang lit a torch inserted in the earthen wall.

"This tunnel was found when there was a sacrifice in the West Ancestral Hall, and Datongzi took me in to see the excitement." Shen Lang turned around, "Brother Wei, Brother Chen, you wait a minute, I'll go and cover the tunnel entrance above." ”

The width and height of this tunnel are about two meters, both sides and the ground are built very flat, the torch is inserted in a round hole, there is a square cave cut in the side of it, and several broken clay pots are placed in it, but it is the same as the cave wall on both sides, it is full of dust, and there is a mildew smell in the air, which shows that the tunnel has been built for some years. Although Chen Feng and Wei Fei felt a little strange, they didn't think much about it, tunnels like this are very common in the northwest, and if it was during the Anti-Japanese War, there would still be conditions for a tunnel war here.

At this time, Shen Lang had already walked back from above, and he picked up a torch to lead the way. "The exit of this tunnel is under a tree three streets away, covered with a thick layer of grass, and no one pays attention to it on weekdays, I believe that no one will know except me and Datongzi. In fact, the distance is not too far, but when this tunnel was built, it may be afraid of communicating with other houses, so it turned around and made a lot of bends. ”
