Chapter 23: Forbidden Secret Passage, Mysterious Old Man

Qin Tianci stepped on it for two days in a row, and he was familiar with the kitchen to the back door, and he still needed to go to more places to see.

That night, taking advantage of the darkness, Qin Tianci quietly came to the gate of the back mountain, but there were people guarding it for twelve hours a day. Fortunately, I have carefully observed the terrain in the past few days, and about thirty steps to the left along the back door, there is a slightly lower position on the fence, and I don't know why it has not been repaired. Qin Tianci jumped up vigorously, grabbed the top of the wall with his hand, and then rubbed the whole person hard and turned in. This is the utility room next to the kitchen. The things they brought during the day were all moved here by the people of Lingyun Pavilion.

Qin Tianci is familiar with these sections of the road, and after passing through an arch, there is the front yard and the main hall and pavilion, and Qin Tianci has never been here. Now I can only take one step at a time, but fortunately this is not a palace, and there are not so well-guarded guards.

Qin Tianci took advantage of the moonlight to look for a while. I found a sound in a room in the side hall, and when I got closer, I found that there was still candlelight. There should be several people in the house, and although they are talking quietly, it is very quiet, and it is obvious that there are several people talking in the house.

Qin Tianci thought to himself, who else would be talking in the house at such a late hour? Could it be grandpa? Uncle, second uncle? However, thinking of the information inquired about in the past few days, in recent days, several special guests have come to Lingyun Pavilion and have been talking secretly for several days, and no one has ever seen what they look like, all of them were personally received by Uncle Yun Feilong.

Qin Tianci leaned closer slightly, wanting to hear what they were saying. Hear a few words,

"Two months later, on August 15, the Mid-Autumn Festival will be the time for our big plan."

"There are many people in Shaolin, and there are many masters, are you sure?"

"Rest assured...... As long as he is there, how can Shaolin be concerned......"

Qin Tianci wanted to listen more carefully, so he put his ear closer, and just put his ear on the window paper. The people inside had terrifyingly sensitive ears, and one of them shouted, "Who? Who's eavesdropping outside? ”

Qin Tianci was taken aback, how could their hearing be so sharp! Frightened, Qin Tianci hurriedly ran along the corridor.

Immediately the door of the house opened and a man came out, and saw him about forty years old, dressed in a neat body, with a green dragon embroidered on a light white silk costume and a pink peony around it. There was a domineering flashing between his eyebrows, and his mustache showed his old way in the rivers and lakes and his domineering status in Lingyun Pavilion.

He shouted, "Someone! ”

Suddenly, three people rushed into the courtyard, the first one was in his fifties, holding a sword and holding his fist, "Eldest son." ”

"Uncle Cheng, there are thieves in the courtyard, how do you look at the home nursing home!" The eldest prince, this person is the eldest prince of the Lingyun Pavilion Lord, Yun Feilong. Yun Feilong roared angrily.

"Yes, my subordinates immediately sent someone to inspect it. Come. ”

The two people next to him said, "Yes!" ”

"You guys quickly send someone to search the top and bottom of Lingyun Pavilion, and those who capture the thieves must be captured alive!"

"Yes!" The two of them received the order, quickly retreated and gathered people to start searching. Everyone hadn't received an order for a long time, and everyone was in good spirits.

Qin Tianci was running around, he didn't know where he went, he only knew that he was very dangerous. Now almost all the disciples of Lingyun Pavilion have been dispatched, just now they ran around in a panic, and now it is dark and they can't see anything clearly, and they don't know where they are in Lingyun Pavilion right now. If he is caught, it will be troublesome, if it is announced to them that he is Yun Mu Nan's grandson, no one will believe that he will die without a place to be buried, and he will not even have the opportunity to find his master.

Be calm! Be sure to calm down!

Suddenly, I heard someone talking nearby.

"Did you find this back garden?"

"Uncle Cheng, we don't dare to enter, this is the private place of the pavilion master and the two sons. Don't dare to enter. ”

"Let's go, I'll lead the team, let's go in and search."

It turned out that this was the living room of my grandfather, eldest uncle, and second uncle. How can you evade their search? By this time, they had already seen the light of the torches, and it would be terrible if they found out. Taking advantage of the light of this torch, Qin Tianci saw that there was a large courtyard behind him, and there was a large pool in the middle, and there was a pavilion-sized rockery in the middle of the pool. A path stretches from the mouth of the rockery cave to the water to the grass behind him.

Although the surrounding area is not large, it is all open space, and there is no way to hide. If this group of people walked here, they would definitely reveal their whereabouts. Qin Tianci couldn't care so much, he could only find the nearest hiding place, reflexively, Qin Tianci instinctively rushed to the rockery, and only this rockery could barely hide people. Qin Tianci was very nervous and scared in his heart, and now he could only pray that they would not be able to search him. But a big sect, how can the people be so careless? It's not a great hiding place, and sooner or later you'll be discovered, so what should you do?

Qin Tianci was at a loss for what to do in the hole in the middle of the rockery, nervousness accelerated his heartbeat, and he was even more anxious at this time. Just when Qin Tianci was in a panic, his hand inadvertently touched a mechanism on the rockery, and the entrance of the rockery cave was originally a cave. At this time, the inside suddenly opened half a door from the bottom to the top, and it seems to be a hole, right? But where can he manage so much, Qin Tianci immediately rolled in.

After he got in, the door closed by itself, and at the same time, Cheng Bo rushed in with someone. They looked around for the so-called intruders.

After Qin Tianci rolled into the cave, the door of the cave was closed. It's pitch black inside, this should be the secret room of Lingyun Pavilion or something. But aren't the most secret rooms built in the study, bedroom, or something like that? Why is the secret room of Lingyun Pavilion in the rockery in the center of the water surface in the courtyard? Generally, the secret room has some secrets of this door, and the secret room belongs to the forbidden place, what secrets will there be here?

The secret passage was really too dark, and there were no five fingers to be seen here, so Qin Tianci could only carefully stretch out his hands and slowly explore and move forward. It was like a set of downward stairs, narrow on both sides, and the arms could not be stretched parallel at all, it was a one-man wide downward aisle. Because of his slow walking, Qin Tianci slowly groped his way forward step by step, and after walking for nearly half an hour, his feet finally became smooth. Finally, it seems to be in a room. It's cold and damp here, and when the space gets bigger, it feels even more eerie.

Qin Tianci walked a few steps and kicked something that he touched carefully, it seemed to be a stone table inlaid on the ground, and there was a candlestick on it. Qin Tianci took out a fire fold from his arms and lit it, thank God this candlestick can be used, and quickly ignited it. After Qin Tianci put the fire fold away, he picked up the candlestick and took a closer look at the secret room. This chamber is a two-zhang room, with only one wall and an exit, which has a set of stairs upwards. It seems that he came down from there.

This room is very small, and there is nothing special, there is only a stone table in the middle, and a candlestick on it, which Qin Tianci is holding in his hand at this time. There wasn't even a stool next to the stone table, and there was a stone bed against the innermost wall, on which there was only a cushion the size of the stone bed. For the rest, there was nothing left in this room. Is this the room where my grandfather practiced his exercises? It can be seen that this room is still often visited, and there is very little dust. But what is the point of such a secret room being built in the rockery in the middle of the pool of Lingyun Pavilion? This secret room is meaningless, is there any mystery in it that I haven't figured out yet?

Qin Tianci felt that this matter was by no means that simple, so he looked everywhere for mechanisms. Since it is a secret room, it must have its special role, the structure of this house is too simple, starting from the entrance of the rockery, Qin Tianci will feel the dark little by little, so there is no fork in the road on the way, it is a direct road to this room. And this room is too ordinary, and according to common sense, there is something more important somewhere in this room.

After touching it for a long time, he didn't see anything, but found a bolt under the stone bed, and Qin Tianci pressed it. A box pops out from the head of the stone bed with a length of rope inside. Qin Tianci picked it up and looked at it, it was simply an ordinary rope, and there was no special mechanism on it. Qin Tianci really had no way to take this secret room.

You must know that if Uncle Cheng led someone to kill him from the mouth of the rockery, he would definitely die and be captured alive. One can only pray that they can't find it, or that they don't dare enter this secret room because they are guarding the door. But even if they can't find it or can't get in here, they won't survive for a few days without water or food. You can live for seven days without food, and you can only survive for up to three days without water. So you must find another way out, otherwise you can only risk your life to go out from the mouth of the rockery cave and try your luck.

Qin Tianci was so angry that he couldn't help it, so he sat directly on the stone bed to rest, hey...... If you are trapped here, how can you find Master!

Just not knowing what to do, Qin Tianci had no choice but to move back a few times, leaning his back against the wall, the stone bed immediately gurgled, and a hole was opened in the center. Qin Tianci hurriedly uncovered the cushion on the stone bed, and sure enough, there was a more secret passage. In the center of this stone bed there is a hole about three feet in size.

Qin Tianci took a closer look at this passage, it was even more eerie inside, it seemed to be a patio, there was no place to take root, and he didn't know how to go down.

Suddenly, a powerful suction force sucked Qin Tianci inside. This force came too suddenly, and Qin Tianci was caught off guard. This force came too strangely and suddenly, and it was a strong suction, and Qin Tianci actually planted the whole person into it. The candlestick pinched in Qin Tianci's hand also fell to the ground of the secret room above as Qin Tianci fell, and was extinguished. The opening on the stone bed also closed automatically as Qin Tianci fell in. The entire chamber fell into darkness and silence again.

Qin Tianci fell into his mouth, this mouth was more than ten zhang high, Qin Tianci fell heavily to the ground, and was directly knocked unconscious.

Qianzhou City is located in the karst landform area, where most of the mountains are hollow. Especially the mountain where Lingyun Pavilion is located, I don't want it to be a very empty cave inside. There are a lot of stalactites on it, and some of the stalactites are dripping with water droplets on them, so it is more cold and damp here.

Qin Tianci fell on top of a piece of calcification, and after not knowing how long, he finally became a little conscious and slowly woke up. Finally, Qin Tianci stood up, so high, he fell down directly, and Qin Tianci was still in some pain when he was fallen, so he stood up forbearingly.

It's a little brighter than the secret room. This is a large cave, and some of the mountain walls have cracks in the walls, and a trace of light is shining in. Because the top of the mountain is stalactites, many stones are constantly dripping with water, and there are dozens of large and small irregular pools on the ground. All the pools flow out of a small stream because of the slope of the mountain from high to low. Therefore, there are many reflections in some places, and the whole cave can generally look hazy.

At this time, a voice came, "Old monk, look and see, this person has woken up, he has finally woken up." ”

Qin Tianci was startled by this sudden voice, and hurriedly shouted, "Who? Who is there to speak? ”

"Old monk, old monk, this kid doesn't seem to be from Lingyun Pavilion, guess how he came here?" The old, mischievous voice continued.

"Who the hell are you? How could it be there? Ming people don't say dark words, you have the ability to come out. "Qin Tianci is brave for himself.

Although the man's voice was loud and his voice reverberated throughout the cave, the source of the sound was clearly coming from one of the completely unlit mountain faces. Qin Tianci gave himself the courage to lean over slowly, this person spoke from here......

Qin Tianci walked over slowly, although this piece was very dark and he couldn't see anything clearly, Qin Tianci obviously felt that there was a person here, and he felt that this person was very dangerous. At this moment, the man suddenly burst out, and this pounce was like a hungry tiger pounced on a sheep. Fortunately, Qin Tianci was young and reacted quickly, and he reflexively retreated, but this pounce came very suddenly, Qin Tianci fell backwards and sat on the ground, and hurriedly sat back and took a few steps back.

With this pounce, the man could only hear the sound of chains rattling behind him, and the man stopped halfway through the pounce. It turned out that this person's hands and feet were chained, and this person's movement distance was only so much, no wonder he had to move in this area all the time.

At this time, the man shouted, "Yo, it's a white and chubby baby...... This ...... of fine skin and tender meat Hehehehehehe......"

Qin Tianci exclaimed, "What? You old man, don't you want to eat me? ”

"Eat you? Why should I eat you? ”

"Then why do you say that?"

The man wondered, "Can't I scare you?" But looking at you, it doesn't seem like you're from Lingyun Pavilion! ”

Qin Tianci said, "I am indeed not from Lingyun Pavilion. ”

The man said strangely, "Ouch, this is strange, you are not from Lingyun Pavilion, how could you come to someone's forbidden place and secret room?" ”

"This ...... This is a long story......," Qin Tianci hesitated.

The man smiled, "Hahaha, old monk, old monk, look, there is someone here, he should be able to take us out." I said boy, quick, let us out. ”
