Zhang Baihu knew that Qingluanwei Baihu was not monolithic, and it was destined to leak the news, so he tried to make a "fast" word, and strive to act first before the opponent reacted.

It was only when they arrived at the salt merchant's manor located outside the city that they were still one step too late, and the place was already empty, leaving only an empty manor.

Although Zhang Baihu couldn't hide his disappointment, he couldn't talk about how angry and impatient. After he got the news, before he went to see Xu Kou and Qi Xuansu, he had already sent his henchmen to keep an eye on this place, and he didn't see the team of people leaving the manor, which means that there is another passage, most likely an authentic passage.

As for the formation teleportation, it's not impossible, the key is that the cost of the temporary formation is too high, just like the child and mother talisman, if it is not very urgent, it will not be used easily. This kind of county-level stronghold will not build a permanent formation that needs to be constantly maintained, because maintaining the formation not only costs money, but also consumes manpower, and Yujing spends more than one million Taiping dollars a year in order to maintain that formation that is like spring all year round, of which at least 300,000 Taiping is manpower expenses. This is still a Dao Sect, there is no shortage of alchemists and qi refiners, and if it is replaced by other organizations, the cost will only be greater.

Zhang Baihu ordered his subordinates to search around the manor.

Copying the house is one of Qingluanwei's housekeeping skills, and the key is to find out the hidden property, so for Qingluanwei, finding secret rooms, mechanisms, secret grids, cellars, and tunnels is also a good trick.

Soon, Qingluanwei's search had results, there was indeed a tunnel here, but the entrance could not be found. Now time is pressing, and there is a lack of equipment and gunpowder, and there is no way to dig directly.

Xu Kou was also from Qingluanwei, and he did not sit idly by, and also searched around for the entrance to the secret passage.

Qi Xuansu and Liu Hu followed behind Xu Kou, watching him look around, knocking and listening.

After a while, Xu Kou locked a place, which was a well located in the back house, not a dry well, and there was well water in it, which was slightly turbid and I don't know how deep it was.

Zhang Baihu also brought people here.

Liu Hu lay on the edge of the well and looked down, curious: "How can there be a tunnel here, aren't they afraid of the well water backing up?" ”

Xu Kou explained: "The entrance may not be at the bottom of the well, but may be at the wall of the well, and the well water is parallel to the inlet rather than up and down, so there is no risk of backfilling." ”

Zhang Baihu nodded when he heard this: "What Master Xu said is reasonable. ”

Xu Kou said, "I'll go down and have a look first." ”

After that, Xu Kou jumped directly into the well, causing a splash of water, and disappeared immediately.

However, he is a true martial artist, and the others are not worried.

After a moment, Xu Kou's upper body floated out of the water and said, "There is indeed a portal here. ”

Qi Xuansu said, "I'll come down now." ”

Xu Kou dived into the water again, Qi Xuansu hesitated, but still took the somewhat eager Liuhu Lake and entered the well together.

The two of them slowly descended along the well rope, and after about three feet of diving, they saw a flipping portal on the wall of the well half-open. Qi Xuansu entered it first, followed by Liu Hu.

There are steps up behind the door, the water is gradually shallow, and after walking more than a dozen steps, the water has come out. After the water came out, it was silent and dark. Suddenly, a fire lit up, but it was Xu Kou standing not far away.

Xu Kou had already steamed his clothes with hot blood, lit the fire fold he was carrying, and said, "Be careful, there may be some tricks here." ”

Qi Xuansu and Liu Hu also did the same, using real steam to dry clothes, and as for the fire guns and projectiles, they all have waterproof designs, so they don't have to worry. Qi Xuansu casually handed over the "Divine Dragon Handcuff" to Liu Hu and asked her to hold it for self-defense, while he pulled out the only remaining single knife and injected true qi, and the flame on the knife body was ignited, which could replace the torch.

This secret passage was quite wide, enough for the two of them to walk side by side without being crowded, so Qi Xuansu and Xu Kou walked side by side in front, and Liu Hu followed behind the two.

After walking out of this way, it has been out of the confines of the manor.

This road is extremely long, and it is still not finished. The three of them had no choice but to continue walking, and after walking for several miles, they suddenly saw two closed stone gates.

You must know that this tunnel is going straight, there is no need to detour, put it on the ground, it is really not short, the location of these two stone gates is very close to the county seat.

Xu Kou said: "Brother Wei, do you remember that we passed by a City God Temple when we went out of the city? ”

"Yes." Qi Xuansu nodded and said, "In terms of distance and direction, we should be near the City God Temple now." ”

Xu Kou stepped forward and stretched out his hand to push on the stone door, but he didn't push it.

Xu Kou's face changed slightly, and he exerted his strength again, he was a martial artist in the stage of returning to the truth, in addition to his vigorous qi and blood, his strength was also very amazing, I saw that the back of Xu Kou's hand was already bruised, but the stone door only trembled slightly, and made a rumbling sound, but did not open the door.

Seeing this, Qi Xuansu also helped.

With the power of the two true martial artists, the stone gate finally opened.

In fact, this stone gate must have a mechanism to open, but Qi Xuansu and Xu Kou didn't have time to find the mechanism, so they directly broke it with force

Behind the stone gate is an upward staircase, which leads all the way up to a dead end. It is said to be a dead end, not a dead end in the ordinary sense, but all the way up, and as a result, the steps extend all the way to the dome above, and finally standing on the steps can no longer straighten the waist.

Obviously, there should be a portal that can be opened, and since they are in the tunnel, then the portal should be above the ground.

Xu Kou began to grope around by the light of the fire, and the mechanisms under the sky were all the same, and after a while, he heard Xu Kou say: "There is." ”

Then you can hear the sound of a machine, and the dome above slowly separates and becomes an exit.

Xu Kou walked out first, Qi Xuansu and Liu Hu followed, and the three of them came to a side hall, but saw that the door was closed and slightly dim.

Qi Xuansu looked around: "This should be the City God Temple." ”

At that moment, footsteps were heard outside the door, presumably the sound of the mechanism opening alarmed the guards here.

Immediately after, the door was kicked open from the outside, and a sword shadow slashed straight down like a long electric crack.

Qi Xuansu held a knife to meet him.

I saw that the two figures were gone.

Then Qi Xuansu landed on the ground without any damage. The other person was holding a long sword, his eyes were straight, and there was a "Seven Phoenix Feather" nailed in his throat, and there was a click in his throat, and a wisp of blood water bypassed the placket of his clothes and dripped before his feet, which was a fatal move.

Qi Xuansu did not stop, and continued to kill outward, the single knife fire in his hand flickered and dimmed, strange and unpredictable, and wherever he passed, one person would fall to the ground and die.

Seeing that no one was Qi Xuansu's enemy, he suddenly rose in the wind and stabbed with a spear. Qi Xuansu felt that it was different, and he swung his knife to cut it, who knew that this shot was strong and powerful, and he was unstoppable. Qi Xuansu failed to split the spear with a knife, so he had to dodge it, and looked at it, the person who came was tall, with a fierce face, and the head of the spear in his hand was like an awl.

Qi Xuansu did not fight with this person, but carried the "Dayan Spirit Knife", seven knives in a row, cutting down seven people, and the rest of the people were frightened, and suddenly shouted, Qi Qi retreated, forming a circle, surrounding Qi Xuansu, but he didn't dare to rush forward.

At this time, Xu Kou also killed, he did not use a blade, but only with his fists and feet to hurt people, this is also the usual means of martial arts against the enemy, the fist is the best blade, but see Xu Kou use Qingluanwei's unique martial arts "big green dragon hand", five fingers like a hook, there is blood on the palm of the fingers, whistling into the wind, not inferior to the cold sword qi.

Xu Kou flickered his fingers and grasped, flickered and pointed, and in a moment he had changed more than a dozen tricks, using the "Big Green Dragon Hand" at the same time, and successively using the "Big White Tiger Hand", "Big Vermilion Bird Hand", "Big Xuanwu Hand", and the four hands in one is the complete Qingluanwei "Big Four Elephant Hands".

Naturally, none of these people are Xu Kou's opponents.

At this moment, a monk heard the sound, stood on the wall, took out a small cloth bag from his waist, untied the mouth of the cloth bag and shook it gently, a few villains carved from willow wood fell to the ground, willow wood belongs to yin, so these villains are surrounded by a faint yin qi, and each villain is engraved with a fine talisman, after landing, it instantly becomes the size of an ordinary person, and then like a military formation, rushing towards Xu Kou.

These wooden figures seem to be puppets, but in fact they can also be seen as a talisman, which is "a little spiritual light is a talisman, and the world wastes Zhu and ink in vain", which is extremely tenacious and difficult to break.

If ordinary people encounter such a formation, even if these wooden people are not flexible enough, they will have to be in a hurry, but Xu Kou is a martial artist, but he is a natural restraint talisman and spell, so Xu Kou is not afraid at all, and he went straight up, and the majestic blood and qi rolled out.
