At the end of the canyon is a towering rock wall, which at first glance looks like a dead end. Qingzhou groped on the stone wall for a while, pointed to a place and said to Mo Ling, "Brother Mo Ling, come and help me." ”

Mo Ling stepped forward, followed Qingzhou to pull out a square stone several feet in length and width from the stone wall, and carefully placed it on the ground. There was a black square hole on the stone wall, and Qingzhou pointed to it and said: "There are four stone mechanisms in this, which must be pressed in turn, and you can't make a mistake." ”

"This mechanism looks familiar. Magic Ling crossed her arms and looked at the stone traps quietly, "Do you know the order of them?"

"I've come here once a month just to test the stone traps on the stone wall," Qingzhou said, "and so far, I've tried out the order of the first two. After that, Qingzhou took a step forward and pressed the two mechanisms one after another, "Brother Moling, do you want to try your luck?"

"Choosing one of the two, interesting. Demon Ling came to the square cave, stared at the remaining two mechanisms, thought for a while, and put his hand inside. Before pressing the mechanism, Mo Ling turned around and asked, "Brother Qingzhou, what will happen if I choose the wrong one?"

"Nothing, the door to the stone wall won't open. Qingzhou replied with a smile.

"I see. Mo Ling turned her head back, her face cloudy, "Then I'll press it." ”

After a while, there was no movement in the square cave, and there was no crack in the stone wall, Qingzhou felt strange and asked, "Brother Moling, have you pressed it?"

"I pressed it, and as soon as I pressed it, it bounced up on its own," Mo Ling turned around, looking surprised and confused, "It doesn't seem to work even if you press it." ”

"How is this possible, which one are you pressing?"

"The one on the left, I pressed it a few times and it bounced back on its own. Magic Ling pointed to the mechanism on the left and said, "Why don't you try it?" With that, Mo Ling stepped out of the way.

"This ......" Qingzhou's face stiffened a little, "Maybe Brother Demon Ling didn't choose the right one, can you try the one on the right again?"

"Don't try, don't try," Mo Ling waved his hand, "You can choose one of the two wrong, it seems that I am not suitable for cracking the mechanism, Brother Qingzhou, you can come by yourself." ”

"......" Qingzhou stood in front of the square cave, and did not move for a long time, until he was stared at by Mo Ling's suspicious gaze, then he hesitantly put his hand in, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked, "Brother Mo Ling, you really pressed the mechanism on the left just now, right?"

"Hey, what am I lying to you, if you don't believe me, just press the one on the left and make sure it will bounce on its own. ”

"In that case, then I don't have to try again. Qingzhou took a deep breath, closed his eyes and pressed the mechanism on the right.

After about a few breaths, Qingzhou slowly opened his eyes, looked at the only mechanism left in the square cave, let out a long sigh of relief, turned back to Mo Ling and said, "Brother Mo Ling, it seems that the one on the right is the right mile." ”

Mo Ling saw the fine sweat of the stars oozing from Qingzhou's forehead, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, but he didn't say anything.

As Qingzhou pressed the last mechanism, the entire stone wall began to tremble, and after a while, a crack opened on the stone wall that was one person wide, and Qingzhou was overjoyed, "Brother Moling, the mechanism is open!"

"It's really hard Brother Qingzhou," Mo Ling was not as happy as Qingzhou, "Then let's go in." ”

"Of course, I'll go in first, Brother Moling, you can follow!"

After Qingzhou finished speaking, he couldn't hold back his excitement and got into the crack. Mo Ling watched Qingzhou's back disappear into the darkness, and only then did he take out a piece of jade pendant from his arms, shake it a few times, and a vague figure appeared from it.

"Did you see everything just now?" asked Mo Ling.

"Well, I see. "Then I'm in. "Be careful, watch out for the one named Qingzhou. "I know. ”

After saying that, Mo Ling put the jade pendant back into his arms and followed it into the crack. After about half a cup of tea, the stone wall shook again, until the cracks closed, and there was no one in the canyon, and everything was silent again.

"This is the Mo family's lair...... Qingzhou looked at the countless caves and forks in front of him, and was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth, "Which road is real?"

Indeed, as Qingzhou said, the scene behind the stone wall is difficult to reminiscent of words like "mansion" and "family house", but it is the word "nest" of reptiles, which is more vivid and accurate. Mo Ling swept over at a glance and counted out more than a dozen large and small caves, each cave counted as a fork in the road, that is, dozens of different passages, if the depths of the cave branched out, then the total number of caves may be beyond imagination.

"Brother Qingzhou, do you think we should act separately or act together?"

"Of course it's acting together, it's dark and dark, mysterious and abnormal, maybe there will be some traps, and there will be a response to the action together. ”

"That's true, but firstly, I don't know the purpose of your coming here, Brother Qingzhou, and secondly, you don't want to help me find a companion, so it's hard to say that we can help each other, so it's better to part ways and settle our own destiny. ”

"This ......" Qingzhou's face was not very good-looking, "Brother Moling, you have come to this point, and it is too bad to say such things." Let's sneak in together, it's a grasshopper on a rope, and it's discovered by the Mo family, and no one can escape, so don't share anything with each other at this time. ”

"You're mistaken, Brother Qingzhou. I came here just to find someone, and this person has some background, and the Mo family doesn't dare to touch her, so this matter is easy to solve. But you are different, you have been planning hard for more than a few months in order to come to the Mo family's lair, and the purpose must not be simple. I will not stand with you until you confess your purpose. ”

“...... You're threatening me, Brother Moling. ”

"What can I threaten you?" said Mo Ling with a smile, "It's better to say the opposite?"

"You ......" Qingzhou's face was hidden in the shadows, and he could only see the muscles at the corners of his mouth twitching, "Then I'll tell you my purpose—it's not as ill-intentioned as you think." ”

"Listen up. ”

"Brother Demon Ling, do you know the name of the disciple of the branch who was imprisoned by Mo Si'an?" "I have some impressions, but I can't remember exactly. ”

"His name is Qingwei, and he is my younger brother. Qingzhou's words were very light, but they had a shocking power, "My brother and I are both members of the Mo family. ”

After Qingzhou finished speaking, he didn't say anything for a while, and Mo Ling had to speak: "Are you here to find your younger brother Qingwei?"

"Not bad. Qingzhou nodded, "At this point, our purpose is the same, so I hope Brother Moling will help me." ”

"In that case, why didn't you tell me earlier, I thought there was some shady secret. ”

"Because Brother Moling suddenly changed his mind and decided to go to your companion, I was in a hurry, so I didn't say anything about it, but I didn't expect to attract Brother Moling's misunderstanding. ”

"In this way, Brother Qingzhou seems to have expected that our two goals are the same from the beginning," Mo Ling smiled with sarcasm, "so he has been silent." Before I came, the disciples of the branch family said that a young man would come to help, and I asked you again, is that young man you?"

"......" Qingzhou was silent and did not answer.

"You are Qingwei's elder brother, the disciples of the branch in the school rushed to the canyon to save Qingwei, if you know everything about Qingwei being imprisoned by Mo Si'an, but you don't know anything about this matter, you can't say anything. No one among the disciples of the split family knew where Mo Si'an was hiding, and only 'that young man' knew about it, and in this respect, you were very similar to him. Finally, you said that you came in through the entrance of the canyon, and you will not be blind to the disciples of the branch who are sitting at the entrance, and you can know from them the purpose of their coming to the canyon even in the simplest two sentences of conversation. Strangely enough, you didn't say anything about it, and when you saw me, you asked me why I was in the canyon. Brother Qingzhou, I want to ask you, did you really come in through the entrance of the canyon, or did you lie in ambush in the canyon early in the morning, waiting for us to appear?"

In the face of Mo Ling's aggressive questioning, Qingzhou was a little overwhelmed, and after a long silence, a low and long laugh flowed from his mouth, echoing in the empty lair, exuding a seeping smell.
