Chapter 231: Entering the Secret Passage by Mistake
Chapter 231 strayed into the secret passage
There are a lot of bookshelves lined up in the basement, at least hundreds in number, and there are countless books loaded, but most of the paper that records the cheats has long been rotted and emits an unpleasant musty smell.
Xia Fei frowned, he never thought that the so-called Wanghai Tower would be such a scene, it is said that the booklet used to record martial arts secrets will not use ordinary paper, but will be treated with special embalming, and the books in the basement are so unbearable, it is obviously caused by age and poor management.
Walking along the narrow corridor to the depths of the basement, the room was not too big, and ten minutes was enough for Xia Fei to take a turn.
Stopping, Xia Fei casually pulled out a fairly intact cheats book from the bookshelf and took it to his hand to look at it, the blurred font came into view, Xia Fei even felt dizzy.
"Intraventrical?" Xia Fei smiled and said to himself, "Ghost, are you still practicing this thing?" ”
The ghost was speechless for a while, he was also entering Wanghai Tower for the first time, and he didn't know the situation, all the knowledge of this secret book warehouse came from word of mouth between the same door.
Xia Fei stretched out his hand and picked up a copy again from the shelf, and took a closer look at the secret method of vegetable planting, how to shorten the growth cycle of tomatoes by half, throw it away and take it again, this time it is more or less reliable, but it is not practical, it is about how to achieve the secret technique of drinking a thousand glasses without getting drunk, which can facilitate some leaders to make a big fortune on the wine table.
Xia Fei was completely helpless, the basement was obviously full of worthless garbage, so it was left so casually without care.
Turning around and walking out of the basement, I saw the hunchbacked old man waiting at the door with squinting eyes.
"Old man, there is nothing I need here, can you choose another place?" Xia Fei said very politely, although he hated this old guy for teasing him in his heart, but it was not revealed on the surface.
The hunchbacked old man shook his head, "Wanghailou is expected to be the rules of Hailou, the doorman can only choose any floor between the basement and the fifth floor to enter, since you have already entered the basement, you will not have the opportunity to enter the other floors, if you want to enter the other floors, wait for the next time." ”
"And those rules?" Xia Fei asked a little angrily.
The old man walked to the wall on the right side of the hall, which was covered with a thick layer of dust, like a fluffy gray cloth.
The old man used a broom to sweep away the dust, revealing an alloy plate inlaid on the wall, on which there were several lines of text, confirming what the old man said.
Xia Fei pursed his lips, snorted coldly in his nose and raised his leg to leave, this hunchbacked old man was obviously teasing himself, since Wanghailou had this rule, he didn't explain it as soon as possible, but led himself to the basement where the garbage was stored.
"What kind of martial arts cheats, it's not uncommon for you to hide Lao Tzu." Xia Fei said secretly in his heart.
The hunchbacked old man suddenly stretched out his hand to block Xia Fei's footsteps, "The door master has an order to let you choose a suitable cheat book in Wanghai Tower, you can't leave this place if you haven't chosen it yet." ”
Xia Fei smiled bitterly, "These cheats are useless to me, so there is no need to choose." ”
The hunchbacked old man shook his head again, "That's not good, since you're here, you must pick a secret book to take away, otherwise the door master won't be able to explain it." ”
His meaning couldn't be more obvious, you have to pick and choose, and if you don't pick and choose, it's not your turn to call the shots.
Fortunately, this is to let Xia Fei pick the cheats instead of picking women, although it is a little stumbling, it will not be too tragic after all, assuming that the basement is filled with a room full of extremely ugly women, and this hunchbacked old man has to let Xia Fei choose one to take home, that is a tragedy in the world.
Gritting his teeth, Xia Fei strode back to the basement, slammed the greasy alloy door shut, and cursed a dirty word in the room alone.
He even wondered if this old thing had become a little perverted because he had lived in this big deserted house for a long time, so that he would tease whoever came here to satisfy his dark psychology.
Although the person returned to the basement, how to choose a book from these messy so-called cheats was really a headache for Xia Fei.
In fact, whether it is the art in the room or the cultivation of tomatoes, it is still a little useful for Xia Fei, it is said that the art in the room can create benefits if practiced well, after all, the good-looking little white face is useless, and if Xia Fei, the speed ability, learns this kind of stunt again, he will definitely make those rich ladies die and come back to life, and they will be addicted.
Shaking his head, Xia Fei stopped his cranky thoughts and began to rummage through the bookshelves, hoping to find something slightly more practical, even if he didn't need to give gifts to others, it would always be a souvenir of a trip to this nameless planet.
There is a mural in the room, the mural depicts an old man, this painting is not very subtle but quite imposing, and the murderous aura in the old man's chest is subtle and slightly warped, as if the sky is about to kill the gods.
Xia Fei rummaged through the books all the way and happened to come to the portrait, so he stopped and looked at it casually.
The painting shows this person undisguised the evil in his heart, his eyes are faintly glowing with blue, as if he wants to kill all living beings in the world, but his eyes are slanted, usually the characters in the portrait are either looking forward or looking up at the sky, but this benevolent brother is good, a pair of copper bell eyes staring directly at the ground under Xia Fei's feet.
Xia Fei inadvertently followed his eyes to his feet, and suddenly, he keenly noticed that the floor under his feet seemed to be different from other places, the other places were paved with dark red stone slabs, and this stone slab had some inconspicuous blood streaks in the dark red, as if there was really blood seeping into the stone slab.
"Huh?" Xia Fei lowered his head and brushed the dust off the floor with his hands, so that the unusual features of this strange stone could be clearly seen.
If you look closely, you will find that those thin blood streaks actually seem to be really flowing, Xia Fei wiped his eyes with his sleeve, he wondered if his eyes were spent, how could there be blood streaks flowing in a good stone?
It turned out that Xia Fei's eyes were not flowery, and they were very sharp, and the ghost shadow also found the subtlety under Xia Fei's guidance.
The portrait shows the man looking at the stone, which is different from the other stones in the room, which makes things very interesting.
Fingers rummaged back and forth on the stones, Xia Fei hoped to find some mechanism or something, but unfortunately the stone slab was as smooth as a mirror, and the whole text didn't look like there was a mechanism at all.
Xia Fei frowned and thought for a moment, then closed his eyes and gently placed his fingers on the floor, carefully savoring its breath.
Gradually, a violent murderous aura was transmitted to Xia Fei's brain through his fingers, and the stone seemed to be alive, as if he wanted to use this wild aura to force Xia Fei to stop.
Xia Fei smiled slightly, mobilizing his own murderous aura to fight against it, after all, it was just a stone, even if it was accompanied by some violent aura for some reason back then, now after many years, this faint murderous aura could not compete with Xia Fei at all.
Without much effort, Xia Fei surrounded him with his murderous aura.
Suddenly, there was a squeaking sound not far away, Xia Fei hurriedly stood up and watched, only to see a crack suddenly flash out of a wall directly opposite, just enough to accommodate one person to pass through, and his murderous aura was released to touch some kind of mechanism
And the stone slab under his feet no longer has a trace of murderous aura, and even the murderous figure on the mural has returned to its normal perspective, and its eyes are looking ahead.
Xia Fei and the ghost couldn't help but open their mouths wide, such a strange and strange thing was simply unheard of, with murderous stones, murals with eyes changing, what the hell was going on?
Xia Fei was not in a hurry to pass through the crack in the door, he curiously came to the root of the wall to observe the mural.
He was surprised to find that not only did the direction of the person's eyes change in the painting, but even the original brutal aura on his body disappeared, and in the blink of an eye, he changed from a killer to an ordinary old man
Xia Fei's fingers swayed on the wall, the paint brought a warm texture, and the place where the paint was painted was obviously slightly thicker and more delicate than ordinary walls.
Gritting his teeth, Xia Fei decided to remove this layer of paint and look inside.
Just then, the open door began to heal quietly
Xia Fei had only 0.01 second of reaction time, he kicked the ground with his legs, and flashed before the crack in the door was closed, and the whole person fell into the darkness.
syllable
A dull voice came, and the door finally came together, and Xia Fei entered a completely unfamiliar space.
With a few blinks of his eyes, it took Xia Fei a few seconds to adjust to the darkness.
It was a parallel passage, narrow and wet, and it was not known where it led.
With all the weaponry on his body and gone, no weapons, no communication facilities, not even lighting, it seems unwise to go into this dark and long corridor alone
"What should I do?" Ghost Q&A.
Xia Fei smiled slightly, "If you come here, you will be safe, maybe there is some secret hidden here, if you don't go to see who can rest assured?" ”
The ghost frowned, Xia Fei is a very curious person, and it is precisely because of his curiosity that he will always cause a lot of trouble, his hunch finally came true, Xia Fei was surrounded by trouble again, and more importantly, even Xia Fei himself couldn't tell what kind of trouble all this was, but the intuition in his heart told him to keep going.
Putting his finger in front of his nose and sniffing, Xia Fei said in a deep voice: "The paint on the mural just now was mixed with human blood. ”
The ghost was stunned, "Human blood? Can you be sure? ”
Xia Fei nodded, and flicked a small piece of peeled paint from his fingertips into the darkness, "Well, although the smell of the paint tampers with the blood, it still can't erase the unique fishy smell of human blood. ”
The ghost shadow was silent, although Xia Fei was not very old, he had a lot of lives under him, coupled with his own keen perception, it was not difficult to distinguish the taste of blood from the ancient mural paint.
Xia Fei walked forward along this ancient passage, the air was cold and damp, and only his own footsteps could be heard in silence, which made people feel a little uneasy.
