The old patriarch turned around and looked at the two brothers, Chen Zhongxuan and Chen Zhongju. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Zhongxuan, Zhongju, the contents of this box will be handed over to the two of you for safekeeping. When the family is in crisis, maybe these things can get through the predicament. The old patriarch said earnestly.

Chen Zhongxuan understood what the old patriarch meant, and nodded heavily. Although Chen Zhongju didn't quite understand, he saw that the eldest brother nodded, and he also nodded. For a long time, with this smart big brother here, Chen Zhongju rarely used his brain.

The old patriarch took a deep look at the two most outstanding juniors of this generation in the clan, and his eyes were full of hope, he stepped forward, patted the shoulders of the two, nodded, and left the ancestral hall.

Chen Zhongju asked his eldest brother Chen Zhongxuan, "Big brother, where should I put this box?" ”

Chen Zhongxuan thought for a while and said, "Let's put it here!" However, let's switch positions. As he spoke, he walked to the back of the ancestral hall, there was a land temple, the land temple was not small, Chen Zhongxuan walked to the land temple and looked at it carefully, and said to Chen Zhongju, "Just put it here." ”

"There? Do you want to bury it? Chen Zhongju asked.

Chen Zhongxuan bowed his head slightly, picked up the shovel placed not far away, and began to dig a pit.

Chen Zhongju scratched the back of his head, and also picked up the shovel placed next to him to help. After more than an hour of work, the two dug a pit, put down the large chest full of treasures, and restored the place to its original state. I left the ancestral hall with peace of mind and went back to rest. Prepare for the night's waiting.

The villagers who were not directly related to Chen Jiaao did not know the movements of the direct family members of the Chen family at night, and in order not to affect everyone, the people who came back from the secret room did not tell their families about the situation. Therefore, except for the people who had been to the secret room at that time, the whole day of Chenjiaao was still done at sunrise and sunset, and those who went to the farm were busy until the sun set, and they were all tired and had back pain, and they rested after dinner when they returned home.

More than two dozen young people and old patriarchs who had been to the secret room appeared at the entrance of the village, all holding things in their hands, waiting for news at the entrance of the village. The old patriarch had already arranged for someone to keep an eye on the creek, and as soon as the three entered the secret room, they would hurry up and report it.

Time passed minute by minute, until the moon was in the middle of the sky, and the person who was watching the sky hurriedly ran over. Panting, he came to the old patriarch and said, "Old patriarch, they are in. ”

The old patriarch had already prepared for mobilization, and had received the news, and with a wave of his hand, everyone followed, and quickly ran towards the stream. Chen Zhongju took a few clansmen with better martial arts skills to go first, and first went to the passage to intercept them, so as not to let them enter the secret room and find a problem and run away.

The crowd surrounded the stream, and there were two people standing in the middle and upper reaches of the stream.

The people did not intend to go in, but waited here for them to come out. The young people were a little excited at the thought of being able to catch the three people below and avenge Chen Xiaoqing and Yu'er.

After a while, the crowd could hear angry voices coming from the passageway. Then I heard the sound of running outward. Xu Jiong and the three of them quickly ran to the passage, and when they saw the two corpses that disappeared in the passage, they realized that something was wrong, and when they saw the empty box in the secret room, the three finally knew that the matter had been revealed. But he didn't expect that the three of them would be surrounded, so Xu Jiong scolded a few more angrily, and immediately realized that something was wrong, shouted "Not good," and hurriedly ran out with Yu Liang and Wang Ming. But after all, it was still a step too late, and Chen Zhongju and others were already waiting at the exit. The old patriarch and his men had already arrived and surrounded the place.

Xu Jiong knew something bad, but he didn't rush to take the two of them out.

After a long while, the three of them were still hiding in the passage, without any sound, just waiting quietly. As the saying goes, if the enemy does not move, we will not move, but they ignore a problem, that is, it is impossible for them to stop here for a long time. After all, there was a secret room here, and there was no food or water to survive.

Chen Zhongxuan heard that there was no sound in the secret room, the corners of his mouth rose, and he also knew what the people below were going to fight. I want to escape, but I can't, maybe I'm in a stalemate, maybe I'm waiting for an opportunity.

Chen Zhongxuan came back to his senses and nodded to the old patriarch, and the old clansman responded.

Chen Zhongxuan shouted into the passage, "Three, come up!" The underneath is dark and damp, and it is not suitable for staying for a long time. Let's come up and talk! Our Chen clan will not be embarrassed by you, of course, as long as you have not done anything bad. After talking for a long time, there was still no sound below, Chen Zhongxuan smiled lightly, and continued to shout below, "We are not official, just the villagers here, and we will not hurt you." ”

Perhaps Chen Zhongxuan's truth really touched them, Xu Jiong sifted through his mind, and said to Yu Liang and Wang Ming, "It seems that we can only disarm and surrender first." However, you two must remember that you must never admit to the murder, just that you have accidentally discovered this place, and as long as they don't do anything to us, they will always find a way to leave. ”

The three of them reached an agreement, then stepped up the steps, walked up, holding their heads in both hands, and when they saw the people surrounding the stream, Xu Jiong suddenly felt that he was too wise, if he fought hard, he would definitely be the three of them!

Seeing the three of them come out in this form, Chen Zhongju led people forward and took out the prepared rope and tied them up. The old patriarch said to Chen Zhongju, "You take these three people to the ancestral hall first. He turned to Chen Zhongxuan and said, "You go down with me." As he spoke, he walked towards the chamber. Chen Zhongxuan followed closely, leaving only one person to guard outside. The rest of the people pressed Xu Jiong and the three to go back to the ancestral hall

Waiting for the rabbit is considered a success.

The old patriarch took Chen Zhongxuan around the secret room. told Chen Zhongxuan some things, and after an hour, the two of them walked out of the secret room, as for what they said, maybe only the two of them know.

So when Chen Zhongju told about this period of the past, he didn't know what happened at that time. I only know that later the old patriarch and Chen Zhongxuan left the secret room and closed the stone door of the secret room, I don't know what mechanism the old patriarch touched at the location of the passage, the passage of the secret room was completely closed, and there was no need to put the jade back in place at all.

The young man who had been waiting outside had the jade in his hand, and the three of them watched by the stream as the whirlpool in the center of the stream disappeared, and they completely regained their calm.

The old patriarch looked at the back mountain on the other side of the stream, and the three of them heard that the back mountain seemed to rumble for a while, and the birds in the mountain suddenly kept calling.

Chen Zhongxuan and the old patriarch didn't have any special look on their faces, it seemed that all this was expected, only the young man standing next to them for unknown reasons was full of confusion.
