Chapter 263: There is a secret passage in the Listening Rain Building
At this moment, he heard a sudden shout from the door of the rain building, it was the guard who found out, and he was stunned before he could react Mo Ziyu had already strode over.
Xu Yuanshan, who came back to his senses, trotted forward, and the eagerness on his face was not diminished.
On the left side of the house, the wooden board where a calligraphy and painting was originally hung has been lifted, and the back is empty, and it is pitch black inside.
When Xu Yuanshan ran in, the guards were carrying kerosene lamps and preparing to go in, while Mo Ziyu was standing aside with a gloomy expression.
He was shocked in his heart, and a bad premonition came to him.
But there was no time to say more, and he immediately asked the guards to go inside to find out.
The entrance is about half a meter from the ground, oval, the entrance of the cave is quite spacious, under Xu Yuanshan's command, the two thin guards moved very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they climbed in and quickly went inside.
At this time, Mo Ziyu's gaze swept over the wooden board and the calligraphy and painting, this secret passage was very hidden and could not be easily discovered.
The guards here are reporting to Xu Yuanshan, they were searching separately before, there is a guard who just knows calligraphy and painting and wanders in front of this calligraphy and painting to admire, the more he looks at it, the more he likes it, and he admires it incomparably, and he has not been able to hold back and take a closer look, at this time the leader scolded the action to hurry up and don't delay things, he promised to hurry up and prepare to hang back, he never thought that his feet were unstable and the whole person hit the wall, he was worried that the calligraphy and painting would be broken in his arms, but the calligraphy and painting were safe and sound, but his head came into close contact with the wooden board...
I don't know if I don't hit it, I was startled when I hit it, but I didn't expect one of the planks to be directly broken by him, and someone came to check the situation and soon found that it was empty inside, so I immediately reported it.
It sounds really a coincidence, but if it weren't for such an accident, I'm afraid it would still be difficult to find.
Xu Yuanshan was stunned in place, his expression kept changing, and after a few breaths, he seemed to wake up suddenly, and hurriedly took two steps forward to the secret passage, he breathed a sigh of relief and shouted loudly, asking about the situation inside, what did he find?
From the shaking light, it can be seen that the secret passage is very straight, and the two people inside are gradually moving away, and after hearing Xu Yuanshan's inquiry, one of them has a response but can't hear clearly.
Xu Yuanshan was anxious, raised his hands into a trumpet shape and shouted a few more times at the secret passage, and after a while, the reply inside finally became real, and it was one of the guards who climbed back.
"Lord Xu, it is a secret passage, the distance is not long, smooth and straight to the outside, and I have not found Miss Ling's figure and have no other clues."
"To the outside? This, how can this be. Xu Yuanshan muttered in disbelief, hurriedly turned around and ran outside.
As the guards inside gradually approached, the secret passage became clearly visible under the illumination of the kerosene lamp, and Mo Ziyu, who had been standing on the side for a long time, suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, and quickly stepped forward with half-squinted eyes.
There are several scratches on the right side of the top of the secret passage, which are difficult to find if you are not careful, which is directly related to the light and the angle at which you stand.
After staring for a few breaths, I watched the guards inside jump down.
"Master Mo, there's nothing to be found in the secret passage, why don't we go to the back exit and have a look?" The guard said cautiously.
Mo Ziyu ignored his words and raised his hand slightly: "Lamp!" ”
The puzzled guard quickly came back to his senses, and before he had time to think about it, he hurriedly offered the kerosene lamp with both hands.
Mo Ziyu, who was carrying a kerosene lamp, strode to the entrance of the secret passage, and there were indeed clear scratches on the inside edge of the top, compared to the smooth secret passage, this trace was rougher, and it could be seen that it was left in a hurry, thinking of using his fingertips to slash hard nearby, the marks were the same.
Traces left with fingertips in an emergency!
The thought flashed through Mo Ziyu and looked at it again, it was two symbols, which looked a little familiar.
He moved his hand over the trace, and a picture quickly flashed in his mind, a gesture that Ling Lan occasionally did: OK.
It was really left by Ling Lan, that is to say, Ling Lan was conscious and not unconscious when she was taken away.
Thinking of the meaning of this gesture, his heart gradually relaxed a little, and he always felt that something was wrong, it seemed that it was very interesting to take Ling Lan away, so that Ling Lan chose to cooperate with the other party and left obediently...
All thoughts flashed through his mind, and Mo Ziyu quickly returned to normal, and after hearing the sound of continued footsteps behind him, he shook the lamp in his hand, and seemed to be carefully observing the secret passage.
Xu Yuanshan staggered in and almost fell down because of anxiety, and then knelt on the ground with a thud, and his speed of speech was also very fast.
"My lord's atonement, it's all the lower officials who deserve to die, I don't know that someone has dug up a secret passage here, and the whereabouts of the victim Ling are unknown, please rest assured, the lower officials will gather all the manpower, and they will definitely find Miss Ling as soon as possible."
Mo Ziyu looked at him condescendingly, his deep eyes showed a chill, and the anger emanating from his body made his heart palpitate.
Xu Yuanshan's heart was beating faster, and his body couldn't stop trembling.
"Master Mo, Xiaguan is just going to do it, don't worry, Xiaguan guarantees that Miss Ling will come back intact." After saying that, he stood up and trotted out all the way.
Seeing him like this, the other guards didn't dare to stay here, and they couldn't stand the fierce momentum on Mo Ziyu's body, and they all withdrew silently.
Mo Ziyu squinted his eyes, threw the kerosene lamp aside, and strode outside to let people lead the way to see the exit of the secret passage.
The guard walked a little slower and fell behind, and when he heard his words, he did not dare to disobey his orders, so he could only stubbornly agree, and made a gesture of please to the left.
Listen to the rain floor surrounded by water on three sides, after coming out of the gate is a long corridor, out of a section of the road to the left, turn a few times before coming to the destination, if you go directly to the will be very fast, but that needs light work is better to walk on the water...
The gap outside the secret passage is tightly blocked by a square stone carving, Mo Ziyu raised his hand to push the stone carving, it was lighter than expected, it was not difficult to move, and there were other stone carvings not far away, it didn't look abrupt.
Mo Ziyu looked at the dark entrance of the cave, thinking about the location of the secret passage inside and this place, and felt a little calculating in his heart.
The guards who led the way felt pressured under his fierce momentum, and trembled and proposed to search elsewhere, Mo Ziyu hummed! And he fled.
The surrounding footsteps were noisy and shouting, and everyone was looking for Ling Lan for a while.
After a while, Ye Feng jumped down from the nearby roof and dodged to his side: "My lord, the situation is wrong. ”
Seeing that he didn't react, Ye Feng continued: "This is tantamount to startling the grass and scaring the snake, putting Miss Ling in danger. ”
Mo Ziyu finally reacted, raised his hand and pointed to the secret passage opposite.
Ye Feng was stunned, stepped forward to check the entrance, and climbed in directly without speaking.
After a few breaths, he stepped on the surface of the lake, and returned to Mo Ziyu's side without saying a word, obviously, he also realized something.
At this time, Mo Ziyu said in a low voice: "Don't worry about the others, just look for it nearby." ”
Although the other party took Ling Lan away in a short time, he would definitely not be able to go far if he found out in time, and he must have hidden Ling Lan around here...
