Chapter 66: The Secret Passage
He Ling Jiang raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at the disciple who was standing at the very end: "What's strange?" ”
A few of the guards couldn't help but look at him sideways.
That disciple was only sixteen or seventeen years old, his name was Shouxin, and he was the youngest disciple under the Xuanyang Throne.
He has always been timid, and he has a dull temperament and does not speak much, and he is the one with the weakest sense of existence among many disciples. Now that so many pairs of eyes were staring at him in unison, his white and tender face couldn't help but turn red.
"I ...... I ......"
He Ling Jiang Rourou looked at him and said lightly: "This little path leader, you don't need to be nervous, just tell you what you think is wrong." ”
Her eyes were soft and her face was encouraging, and the disciple couldn't help but feel certain, took a deep breath, and slowly spoke: "When I went to the Master's Courtyard before, I thought it was a little strange. ”
On that day, there was one less magic weapon enshrined in the front hall, and he couldn't find it all over, and Shouxin was in a hurry, so Xuanyang said that he had a surplus there, and ordered Shouxin to follow him to get it.
Shouxin took the things and retreated, but as soon as he walked out of the courtyard, he suddenly noticed that the Qingxin talisman he was carrying accidentally slipped out of his sleeve and fell into the master's room. So he turned back and looked for it.
He stood in front of the door and knocked for a long time, but he never heard a sound in the house.
Fearing that the master would have an accident, he hurriedly pushed the door and went in to check, but the room was empty.
There is a road outside Xuanyang's courtyard, and if he goes out, he should meet the trustworthy who turned back halfway. It's just that he has never seen Xuanyang all the way.
Doubtful in his faith, he waited outside the courtyard for a while, planning to look for him again if he didn't see Master come back. About a tea time later, I saw Xuanyang open the door and walk out.
"Strange, I went indoors to see it, but there was no one in the room. At that time, I just thought that I didn't pay attention to it, maybe Master was meditating somewhere, and he didn't have time to take care of me, so that I mistakenly thought that he was not indoors. After learning what the master had done, Shouxin thought about it at the moment, and naturally felt that something was wrong.
"I retrieved the Pure Heart Talisman that day, and left in a hurry, not taking it to heart. Thinking about it now, it seems a little strange. ”
He Ling Jiang's eyebrows raised slightly, I am afraid that there is a secret room hidden in this Xuanyang house.
She looked at Xuanwei and saw that the other party was also stunned: "Has Xuanwei Daoist ever checked Xuanyang's inner room?" ”
Xuan Wei nodded and said, "I've seen it, but I didn't find anything wrong before, and now it seems that I am afraid that there is something else in the secret, but I have ignored it." ”
He Lingjiang looked at Shouxin, and couldn't help but ask again: "Has the little Taoist elder seen anything else that feels strange?" ”
Shouxin frowned and pondered for a while, Fang shook his head: "It's gone." That's all I can think of. ”
"So, thank you for the trail." Although it is only a small detail, it is enough to make people suspicious of the layout in the Xuanyang House, and if you investigate carefully, you may be able to find some more clues.
He Lingjiang asked the others again, if there was anything to add.
However, except for the eldest disciple, Xuanyang rarely summoned a few other people to his courtyard, so naturally there was no way to find anything wrong.
Shoudao lowered his eyes, and now that he thinks about it, the person who is really trusted by the master is afraid that there has always been only the senior brother, right?
He Lingjiang glanced sideways at Xuanwei.
Xuan Wei comprehended and opened his mouth to comfort a few disciples: "In this case, I will work hard for you today." If you think of anything wrong in the future, just tell me again. ”
"You should relax, although your master has gone, but after all, it is our disciple in Yunju Guanzhong, and as my uncle, I have no reason to embarrass you."
"Just a little-" Xuan Wei paused, and his expression became a little serious, "Don't make trouble." Your master's matter has been turned over here, and you should not investigate and toss in private, so as not to affect the overall situation. Otherwise, we will not be able to stabilize our entire cloud dwelling view at that time. ”
"Yes, uncle, disciples, etc., should be cautious in their words and deeds from now on." A few people who keep the way should salute.
Although the master is not angry that he is gone, but after all, after this time, they also know in their hearts that this matter is no longer something they can meddle in at will, so they have to honestly suppress their minds and be a member of this cloud residence view.
Xuan Wei glanced at them deeply, and then waved his sleeves lightly: "You guys should retreat first." ”
He Lingjiang looked at the figures of the few people guarding the Dao who were gradually moving away, stretched out his hand to pour himself a cup of tea, lowered his head and took a sip, and said: "Dao Chief, I don't know if I can be free right now, how about you and I go to Xuanyang Courtyard to see?" ”
"Listen to what He Qi Niangzi said."
Xuanyang, as the master of this cloud dwelling view, lives in a courtyard that is naturally very large.
In the past few days, Xuan Wei has secretly searched his courtyard, but nothing has been found.
Now that Shouxin said that there was something strange in his house, the two naturally went straight to the inner room.
Xuanwei hadn't considered the secret room at all before, and now that there were clues, the two of them groped in the house.
He Lingjiang's fingertips ran across the rows of bookshelves, and then his eyes stopped on a Shoushan stone, which was much smoother than the others, and should have been played with often.
Her eyes narrowed slightly, and she reached out to pick up the Nashou Mountain Stone, and there was a slight bulge on the shelf panel under it, and she tentatively pressed it, and the bookshelf moved away, revealing a secret passage behind it.
Xuan Wei turned his head when he heard the sound, and his eyes lit up: "It's here!" ”
So saying, he leaned in.
He Lingjiang stretched out his hand to stop his movements: "The Tao is long and slow!" ”
She pulled a random scroll from the shelf, raised her hand, and the book shot into the empty passage, and then fell to the ground with a "pop".
Immediately after, a faint sound was heard in the wall, and several sharp arrows instantly shot in the direction where the scroll fell.
Xuanwei's eyes trembled: "There is still a mechanism!" ”
If he just broke into it like this, he was afraid that he would be shot into a honeycomb.
"Seven Ladies, look ......"
"Dao Chief, later."
He Lingjiang walked to the door and instructed Ah Man and Qingzhu, who were waiting outside the house: "You go and call He Zheng, and then pick up some stones with me." ”
Aman and the others didn't know what she meant, but since they were ordered by the Seventh Lady, there was no reason not to obey.
One of them went to call He Zheng, and the other squatted in the courtyard to pick up some stones of moderate size and put them in the bag.
He Zheng came in a hurry, pushed open the door and saw He Ling Jiang Zhiyi sitting at the table, and Xuan Wei was standing in a secret passage behind the bookshelf and watching.
"Seven Ladies." He Zheng bent down and saluted.
He Ling Jiang let out a light "um" and asked, "He Zheng, can you know the art of the secret path mechanism?" ”
"Slightly. When your subordinates train, they will also learn these things. ”
"In that case, let me go through this secret passage today." He Lingjiang nodded, and then looked at Ah Man and Qingzhu, who were eager to try: "You guys are guarding here, don't let people break in." ”
didn't let himself follow, Aman was a little disappointed in his eyes: "Yes, the Seventh Lady ......"
He Lingjiang raised his hand and motioned for He Zheng to hold the candlestick on the table, and then picked up the bag full of stones on the table, and walked into the secret passage first past Xuanwei.
"Seven Ladies!" He Zheng was startled, and stretched out his hand to stop her.
There are many mechanisms in the secret passage, if it is not the owner in the meantime, and I don't know the layout and design, I am afraid that it will inevitably be injured by the mechanism.
Na Cheng thought, He Lingjiang had already avoided him on the side of his body, and took a few steps away.
"Don't worry about this little brother, I just saw that He Qi Niangzi should know some tricks." Xuanwei looked worried at him and stepped forward to comfort him.
He Zheng twisted his eyebrows, raised his hand and held the candle lamp to shine it, only then did he see seven or eight short arrows lying scattered on the ground, thinking that they were the result of the previous test of the Seventh Lady.
He Zheng hurriedly took the candlestick and followed: "Seven ladies, be careful." ”
He Lingjiang walked leisurely, and when he heard the words, he turned around and told him: "You and the Xuanwei Dao Elders follow me closely, remember to protect some Dao Masters." ”
He Zheng's hand holding the candlestick stiffened, and the Seventh Lady called him over and asked him if he knew the secret path mechanism, but instead of letting him open the way, he followed her and protected this old Taoist?
