Chapter 227: Hidden in the City Dynasty
When the red smoke was filled, Zhang Renshan and San'er followed Xiao Yue to look at the sleeping couch, those strange cracks on the ground, as if there was a breeze floating out of it, Xiao Yue waved out of the red smoke, as long as he got close to those cracks, it would be blown away in an instant, Xiao Yue didn't say anything between nods, raised his hand and pointed at the sleeping couch and said, "Quickly move this thing away."

Zhang Renshan and San'er didn't dare to hesitate when they heard it, and hurriedly moved the couch, but after all, the couch was a little heavy, and the two of them only moved a little bit after spending a long time, but it almost revealed the cracks on the ground a little, Xiao Yue saw that there was already some space, so he stood in front of the strange crack and turned his hands over, one red and one white, and the two smoke went straight to the crack on the ground, only in the blink of an eye, the crack on the ground suddenly collapsed, revealing a huge hole in the ground, From time to time, there will be a cool cold wind blowing out, Zhang Renshan put it on the side of the couch, just thinking about asking San'er to follow his own efforts to move the couch away a little more, but he saw the changes in those cracks on the ground, and Zhang Renshan was surprised and hurriedly said: "Fox, this ...... Was it dug up by the monster? ”
"Hmm...... No! Satsuki shook her head and stared at the cave with her eyes.
Zhang Renshan frowned when he heard Xiaoyue say that the entrance of the cave was not made by the monster, and he turned his head to look at San'er who was standing aside, San'er was also a little stunned at this time, and he heard the conversation between the two before clearly, if the entrance of the cave was not made by the monster, then what was excavated? After thinking for a while, San'er felt a little terrible, if this hole is not made by a monster, then it can only be done by people, but who would dig this kind of place in Zhang's house, in fact, San'er already knew the answer, and he shuddered on his body, San'er looked at Zhang Renshan, who was standing on the side, waved his hand, and whispered to him: "Xian'er, I'm afraid that those people did this place." ”
"Those people? Kirin Club? Impossible! Zhang Renshan is a little unconvinced, after all, the location of the hole is exactly in the inner room of the gatehouse, if the people of the Qilin Club really want to dig the hole here, then they must know the exact location of the gatehouse and the scope of the excavation, when you are underground, you don't know how far you can dig underground, you can only calculate the length by measuring the range from the ground first, and then in some specific positions from the surface vertically down a few deep passages, So that the people who dig underground can use it to confirm whether the direction of their digging is correct and to replace the air underground, but these are all necessary to use a lot of manpower, not to mention that if you want to dig out the hole in the house here, then you must know where to dig, but most of the people of the Qilin Society are acting in secret, if you want to open the hole in this place, you must avoid the sight of all the Zhang family, in Zhang Renshan's opinion, this is almost impossible to achieve.
San'er saw that Zhang Renshan was a little unconvinced, so he said, "Xian'er, have you forgotten the secret passage in our cellar?" ”
"Remember...... But the one in this room is different from the other! Zhang Renshan shook his head, although he knew that there was indeed a secret passage dug by the Qilin Society under the Zhang family, but the underground hole in the house, no matter how he thought about it, he didn't feel right.
San'er didn't think about it so much, looked around, and then said to Zhang Renshan: "Xian'er, do you remember the conjecture we had in the mountains before?" ”
"You mean......" Zhang Renshan was suddenly stunned when he listened to the hint given by San'er, if this secret passage was not dug from the outside, but dug out from the inside, then all this is a good explanation.
After waiting for a long time, Zhang Renshan and San'er were a little sad on their faces, although everything in the Qilin Society in the mountains was destroyed by the two of them, but the remaining tumors were still lurking in the dark, the people in the family, the neighbors walking on the road, and even their relatives and friends were all likely to be members of the Qilin Society, they were hidden in the most hidden place, and it was also the most difficult place for people to find out, if a person wore a mask, it would be even more difficult for other people to know his true face.
After thinking for a long time, San'er shook his head, the current situation he and Zhang Renshan can't solve at all, they can't catch a person and ask if they are from the Qilin Society, and the third of their own people dare not say that they are not from the Qilin Society, but they don't dare to confirm that they are all of them, Zhang Renshan looked down at the deep hole in the ground, opened his mouth and said: "If San'er's secret path starts from this house, how to solve the excavated soil?" ”
"Xian'er is the gatehouse, specially for those who guard the door to rest, if they are all members of the Qilin Society, then the excavated soil, they can easily transport it outside," San'er said while holding the couch with one hand and pointing to the hole in the ground.
Zhang Renshan thought about it carefully, it is true, the gatehouse is used to guard the main gate, these subordinates can almost come and go at will, not to mention pouring out the dug wasteland, just if you want to bring in a person at night, it can be easily done.
The two of them were suspicious for a long time, and they didn't discuss which people are good and which people are bad, Zhang Renshan and San'er were thinking about talking for a while, Xiao Yue, who had been standing next to the cave entrance, had disappeared without knowing when, the two looked at each other and hurriedly left the bed, standing next to the entrance of the cave, Zhang Renshan squatted down and looked inside, the mouth of the cave was almost black without five fingers, although there was little cold wind blowing out of it, but it only made the two of them feel cold on their backs, Swallowing his saliva, Zhang Renshan nodded at the hole and said, "San'er, did the fox go down?" I don't think we'll follow, I'm feeling a little cautious. ”
San'er shook his head and looked at Zhang Renshan and said, "Xian'er, we can't retreat now, this cave should be connected to some secrets of the Qilin Society, after all, this cave is open in the room." ”
"I know this, but we don't have any lighting now, and we don't have any helpers, so what if we really encounter some evil under here?" Zhang Renshan looked up at San'er, stretched out his hand and patted his waist.
San'er understood what Zhang Renshan meant, Xiaoyue is now gone, if the two of them go down rashly, if they really encounter the kind of situation that Zhang Renshan said, it will definitely be a little difficult to deal with, but if they don't, then it is very likely that they will miss some things to solve the mystery of the Qilin Society, and after thinking about it for a long time, San'er nodded and said: "Xian'er, let's go down and have a look, after all, Xian Gu has already taken the first step." ”
When Zhang Renshan heard that San'er was determined to enter the entrance of this cave, he reflexively stood up and said: "San'er can go down here, but we have to have some lighting!" It's pitch black and you can't see anything, and even if we go down, we don't know where to go, do we? ”
San'er really has to think of a way to hear it, now it's not as good as when it was in the mountains, at that time there was Xiaoyue to the two of them to light the fox fire, now there is nothing around the two of them that can be used at all, except for the oil lamp used to illuminate in the gatehouse, there is almost nothing else, shaking his body San'er searched for a long time, only to see that there are some lanterns in a corner of the inner room, but it seems that it has not been used for a long time, there is a lot of dust on it, reach out and get one, Took a breath San'er blew the dust accumulated on the lantern, although the dust is a little choking but this lantern can still be used, by the flame on the oil lamp in the gatehouse, San'er is to light the fire candle in the lantern, the light is not too big, but at least it plays a role in lighting, Zhang Renshan saw that there was light, and he didn't say anything else, he set off to stand next to the hole, looked down, the light of the lantern shone down, and saw that his head was not too high from the entrance of the cave, There are some cavities around the entrance of the cave that have been artificially excavated, extending to the deepest depth, which seems to be used to facilitate people to climb up and down in it. ”
"Huh? If you don't go down at this time, then when do you want to go down? San'er only felt that Zhang Renshan asked a little strange, but he didn't think so much, holding the lantern in his hand San'er was to light up for Zhang Renshan, originally San'er was going to give Zhang Renshan a lantern, but Zhang Renshan himself said no, because the space at the entrance of the cave is still very narrow, if both of them are lit, it will definitely be a little crowded, Zhang Renshan is most afraid of the body movement in such a narrow place, if there is any danger, it is a little too late to react.
San'er didn't care about him, anyway, Zhang Renshan didn't say anything, and barely moved down for a while, Zhang Renshan's feet reached the ground in the cave, looked up at the top and said, "Okay, San'er, you should come down quickly!" ”
San'er held the lantern in his hand and saw that Zhang Renshan was already at the bottom, and he hurriedly set off to pick up the edge of the hole, and when he was thinking about going down, the door of the gatehouse was gently knocked, San'er stopped when he heard the sound, and bowed his head to Zhang Renshan below: "Xian'er someone is coming, I'll go and see it first." ”
"Oh! That's fine! Give me the lamp first! Zhang Renshan raised his hand when he heard San'er's words, San'er didn't say anything and immediately handed the lantern in his hand to Zhang Renshan, and then reflexively crawled out from the mouth of the hole, Zhang Renshan saw that San'er had already left and raised the lantern in his hand, and shone around. Looking back and forth, there was only one road in front of him, and Zhang Renshan didn't want to wait for San'er to come back before leaving, so he raised the lantern in his hand and saw his feet clearly, so he groped all the way forward.
After San'er left the entrance of the cave, he went to the door of the gatehouse, and the sound of knocking was still there, and San'er said through the door: "Who?" ”
"Oh! The housekeeper is my Qifu" A familiar voice outside the door came into the gatehouse, San'er heard that Qifu had arrived, he reached out and dragged the door open, looked up twice, Qifu is now a little bit of a bad face, after all, he also drank the well water mixed with demon poison.
"Blessing...... What's the matter? San'er looked at the Qifu Dao standing in front of him.
"Butler, that ...... The well in the backyard seems to smell of medicine, and the cooks don't dare to cook and eat, do you think we should go out and prepare some water with the surrounding neighbors? Qifu lowered his head and didn't dare to look at San'er, muttering softly.
San'er also knew in his heart when he heard this, he had also inquired about this matter with the Monkey King before, shook his head and San'er said, "I know this...... No, the smell of medicine in the well was cast by me, mainly to cure the plague in our house, it's not a big deal, you can go back and tell the cook to cook normally. ”
Qifu also doesn't have so much consideration, San'er has already said it's okay, then there is nothing to worry about, nodding Qifu is retired, San'er looked at Qifu and sighed when he walked away, he and Zhang Renshan actually thought that there would be such a question when they rescued people, after all, the well is the only place in the house that can be used for drinking and washing, and as for the plague, it first came out of Zhang Renshan's mouth, but San'er felt that this statement was really feasible and used this lead, Whenever someone asks why the people in the family have become like this, San'er will say that it is because of the plague, although it is a bit absurd, but it is really believed by everyone.
Closing the door of the gatehouse again, San'er immediately turned back to the inner room, lowered his body and looked down at the hole, the light of the lantern was still there, although he didn't see Zhang Renshan's figure, but presumably he didn't go far, otherwise the light of the lantern would not shine on the range of the entrance of the cave, San'er didn't think so much, and when he saw the light below, he immediately started to climb down, and just touched the ground under his feet San'er hurriedly said: "Xian'er, you haven't moved for a long time!" How...... You don't dare to leave without me? ”
But after the words were spoken, San'er didn't get a response, and San'er turned around to take a look at the doubts, only to see the dark passage on the ground, just standing alone on the lantern, Zhang Renshan didn't know where he went, and he shivered, San'er had a bad feeling in his heart, looking at the lantern standing on the ground, San'er looked around, there was no sound or a trace of abnormality, moved his body slightly, San'er came to the lantern, looked down, the lantern was intact, It's not like it was lost in a fight, it should have been put on the ground by Zhang Renshan safely, San'er blinked twice, looked ahead, this dark passage is deep In addition to the light of this lantern, there is almost no other light source, and then it is pitch black, Zhang Renshan is absolutely impossible to just drop the lantern and walk away, thinking about calling softly, San'er didn't dare to open his mouth, the current situation is unknown, if there is really something wrong, and he suddenly makes a noise to attract it, then it will be too late to regret it.
Reaching out to pick up the lantern, San'er looked up at the front, the dark passage was built almost straight, all the way to the courtyard of the Zhang family, although it is underground, but the direction of San'er remembers clearly, slowly lifting the steps, San'er slowly went forward, the walls of the dark passage on both sides are only slightly chiseled gently, without any processing, almost all of them are made of gravel and mud, every short walk there will be some wooden load-bearing frames used to support the top of the dark passage, these are used to bear the load, it seems that there are still some new, San'er raised his hand and touched the top of the wood, although it was a little rough, but he could still see some traces of polishing, he should be afraid that when he moved forward in this dark passage, he would be torn by the hooks on these woods and tear his clothes, and looked around San'er said secretly: "It seems that this dark passage should have just been completed, otherwise these woods would not be so fresh, but why do the people of this Qilin Club still dig a dark tunnel underground?" It stands to reason that after the copper tripod is taken away, it should stop blocking all the secret passages to prevent being discovered, but why do you still dig here? ”
I can't figure out San'er is no longer thinking about it, shaking his body and continuing to move forward, Zhang Renshan is now nowhere to be found San'er said that he is anxious, but he can only move forward along the dark road in front of him, hoping to find some clues, and not long after walking San'er came to a corner of this dark road, to not San'er does not want to go elsewhere, the corner of this dark road is a road, only turned to the right, San'er thought about it for a while, if he goes to the right now, it should be the direction to the river, there is no hesitation, San'er walked up directly, along the road, the dark road walls around still have no change, but there is something wrong under the feet, the ground is some dry and hard soil before, but when it comes to the road around this corner, the ground is all replaced with scattered rocks, and the size is different, it seems to be casually sprinkled on the ground, although there are some stumbles, but San'er still insists on continuing to move forward, shaking the lantern in his hand, San'er suddenly found that there seems to be a person sitting in front of the road, looking at the figure should be Zhang Renshan, But San'er didn't dare to step forward easily, this underground secret passage, when it appeared, it was so weird, Zhang Renshan disappeared at first and now suddenly appeared, San'er felt that something was wrong inside, so he stood far away and then said tentatively: "Xian'er, what are you doing sitting there?" ”
The words were spoken for a long time, but Zhang Renshan, who was sitting in the distance, didn't say a word, San'er's heart jumped violently, swallowed his saliva and said secretly: "It seems that this shouldn't be a fairy, but it's in the way, and I don't dare to go over, how can this be good?" ”
San'er was still thinking about it, but the person sitting in the distance suddenly disappeared in a flash, San'er hurriedly widened his eyes, and kept looking around him in case there was any danger, but after waiting for a long time, there was no movement at all, wiping a handful of sweat oozing from his forehead, San'er didn't dare to stop in place, and hurriedly walked towards the dark passage......
