Two flowers, one on each table. When Lu Liang and Chen Zhushu were searching for other clues in the hut, Cui Mian, Fan Shuqing and Zuo Yuntang had already walked forward more than ten meters along the dark passage under the lantern niche.

The dark passage was extremely dim, and the unknown formation master might have set up an ambush in advance, so the three of them were very cautious, and even Zuo Yuntang, who was extremely excited in the inn before, was engrossed in observing the walls of the dark passage.

As the three of them went deeper, the light shining in from the dark passage became weaker and weaker, and they couldn't see the surrounding scene clearly, but fortunately, Cui Mian had already prepared, took out a bead the size of a dragon's eye from his arms, injected spiritual power, and held it in the palm of his hand.

As the aura was infused, the bead began to glow with a faint blue light, and then the light grew more and more intense, until it illuminated the entire dark passage.

"Huh, Cui Sicheng has this kind of treasure to take out earlier, I just made me want to slip away in advance." Zuo Yuntang breathed a sigh of relief, and the raunchy and crazy appearance of the hanging boy began to emerge a little again.

Cui Mian took out two more beads from his arms and handed one to Cui Mian and Fan Shuqing.

"You take it first, this bead can be used to clear your mind and destroy illusions in addition to lighting, and if you find something wrong, you will immediately smash it."

The two stretched out their hands to take it, and Zuo Yuntang was very curious to take it to his lips and sighed, and found that a faint spiritual mist appeared on the bead to isolate the bead from the outside world.

Carefully put the beads close to his body, and after patting them lightly twice, Zuo Yuntang asked with a smile: "Cui Sicheng, what is the name of this good baby, where did it come from, can you give me a few more boxes?" ”

Cui Mian glanced at her and said calmly: "This is a high-grade shark pearl, Your Majesty gave me a total of three, if you want it, please see Your Majesty yourself." ”

Zuo Yuntang honestly closed her mouth, she actually had nothing to do with Ling Taiwei, at most, the master once wanted to ask her for an official position to serve Hanlin.

However, she has ruthlessly refused, because she has seen with her own eyes how hard those teachers and commanders who are called servants and are actually workers, every day they either give Ling Taiwei a feast or are called to work overtime from morning to late at night, and they don't even have the leisure time to go shopping, so letting Zuo Yuntang live this kind of life is simply asking her for her life.

That is, Zuo Yuntang doesn't know the title of 996 or 007, if she knows, she will definitely have to give Ling Taiwei a thumbs up, and praise you for exploitation.

Under the light of the shark pearl, the scene around the three people was illuminated. The entrance to this secret passage is only less than half a step wide, and before coming down, the three of them thought that the secret passage would be very narrow, but after walking down the steps, they found that the secret passage was getting wider and wider as they walked inward, and they were even able to walk side by side when they walked to the position of the three of them.

"Prisoner Zuo, have you found that kind of strange pattern along the way?" Cui Mian raised his head and looked around.

Zuo Yuntang shook his head: "I didn't find it, except for the steps at the entrance, there are no other places with those formation patterns." ”

Hearing Zuo Yuntang's answer, Cui Mian nodded, which was the same as the result she noticed: "Combined with the traces of excavation, this secret passage should have been more than ten years old, I have seen the information of this inn before, it happened to be bought by the rich family of Wangji Village more than ten years ago and changed into an inn, this secret passage should have been built at that time." ”

"Is the rich man still alive?"

Cui Mian withdrew his gaze from the wall of the secret passage, shook his head and replied: "Again, no body was found, but according to the results of the Criminal Department's visit to nearby villages and towns two days ago, the rich man should have also died in the village." ”

Just as the two were talking, Fan Shuqing, who was walking in the front, suddenly pulled out the long sword, and at the same time untied the long whip tied to his waist and held it in his hand.

"The dark path is over, there is a formation ahead."

Zuo Yuntang and Cui Mian immediately looked intently, and in front of the three of them, there was a pitch-black light mask standing quietly at the end of the dark passage like an upside-down bowl.

Without any hesitation, the two of them each carried their own exercises, allowing the aura to surge rapidly in the meridians, staring at the pitch-black light mask vigilantly.

Fan Shuqing stepped forward silently, the long sword slowly floated up, suspended at her side, the starlight on the sword body flickered, and the tip of the sword pointed to the center of the light mask. However, Fan Shuqing did not rush out of the sword this time, but instead raised the long whip in his right hand high, and then lunged forward with his left foot slightly, and threw the long whip out with a "snap".

And as Fan Shuqing's long whip was pulled out, the pitch-black light mask immediately shattered inch by inch like broken glass, revealing the scene behind it.

"This formation is simpler than before, and it is arranged in a hurry." Putting the long whip back and tying it around his waist again, Fan Shuqing calmly commented.

Zuo Yuntang and Cui Mian did not have the slightest intention of relaxing their vigilance, they both carefully followed behind Fan Shuqing and walked forward.

The end of the tunnel was dug to the left and right, forming a simple underground hall, which was about forty or fifty square meters, and the walls around it were built with bricks and stones cut from unknown materials, and in addition to several stone pillars, which supported the dome of the hall.

Cui Mian raised the shark bead in her hand high, trying to illuminate the scene, but at only one and a half meters, her arm was still a little powerless, no matter how high she stretched it.

Zuo Yuntang on the side looked at Cui Mian who was tiptoeing forward, and couldn't help laughing, and then Lehehe took the shark bead in her hand to illuminate the hall for her.

However, when they saw the scene in the hall, they couldn't laugh anymore, where seven corpses were neatly tied to a large box.

The seven corpses were all dressed in black night clothes, with a flaming flame tattooed around their necks.

Cui Mian stepped forward, took off the face towels of the seven corpses, lifted their heads and observed them carefully, and then sighed and said, "It's the Cold Flame Army who is secretly guarding the caravan." ”

Zuo Yuntang also stepped forward to look at the corpses, and actually recognized one of them: "This is ...... The lady who raised lotus flowers in the country's prison? ”

Cui Mian nodded silently and replied: "Exactly, the identities of the Cold Flame Army cultivated by His Majesty are very mysterious, except for themselves and their one-line bosses, no one else knows their identities." ”

While speaking, Cui Mian and Fan Shuqing untied the bodies of the seven people from the box and helped them to the side to sit on the stone pillar.

"They were ordered to protect the evacuation of the Pang caravan some time ago, but they didn't want to be attacked and killed in Wangji Village, and the strongest seven of them died on the spot, and only a few people found a chance to barely escape back."

"Alas...... O loyal servant of the kingdom. The raunchy Zuo Yuntang straightened his crooked hat and bowed long to the corpses of several people.

Cui Mian stepped forward and knocked on the outer wall and lid of the box, and took out a neat stack of drawings from his arms, and after repeated comparisons, he muttered to himself in surprise: "Huh? How did this box end up here? ”

Zuo Yuntang also looked at it when he heard this, and asked curiously, "......What is this box?"

Handing the drawings in his hand to Zuo Yuntang, Cui Mian replied: "This is the 100 boxes used by the Ponzi caravan to collect property, which can store a hundred times its own volume. ”
