The three of them watched as Su Qinqin drew twelve lines on the ground, and drew another line that intersected perpendicular to the twelve lines.

"Let's say these twelve lines represent Twelfth Street, and this straight line represents the tunnel where we are, and we have just been walking west for about a quarter of an hour, but we are most likely in this position with our footsteps."

She drew a circle on the westernmost two streets.

"Refreshment Street or Quyi Street."

"You mean, that sound just now may be the sound of someone from Taiyang Mansion smashing the bun shop?"

Su Qinqin nodded.

"It's very likely."

"Aren't we right under the bun shop right now?"

Wu Qinghui continued

"Is the little bell just on it?"

Several people were reminded by Wu Qinghui like this, their faces were happy, and then they darkened again.

"Even if the little bell is on it, we won't be able to go up."

"Qinqin said that the entrance in the old clock shop is just a node in this tunnel, and if there is a node here, can't we also go up?"

After Wu Qinghui's reminder, Su Qinqin and the others suddenly lit up.

"That's right, let's go forward, Refreshment Street is already the westernmost street, close to the West City Gate, if there is a node, there is a high probability that there is a node here to go up."

With that, several people stood up, patted their buttocks, and continued to walk forward.

But this time, they walked for at least an hour, and finally saw the wooden ladder that extended down from the height.

Su Qinqin looked ahead again, but it was still a deep darkness, and she didn't know how far this tunnel could lead.

"So far?"

Wu Qinghui said

"It's all out of town, isn't it?"

"Let's go up and have a look."

Su Qinqin said.

Several people climbed up the wooden ladder, but this time the wooden ladder seemed to be extraordinarily long, and several people climbed a stick of incense for a while, but they didn't even climb to the end.

"What's going on, how do I feel like we're climbing a mountain?"

Wu Qinghui said.

Mrs. Hu patted her ass underneath.

"Climb up, stop talking nonsense."

After an unknown amount of time, Wu Qinghui finally touched the plank.

Wu Qinghui pushed the similar wooden door hard, but the wooden door here was still heavy, and it was difficult for her to push it open alone.

"I'll help you."

Hu Niangzi, who followed closely, climbed two steps up, squeezed together with Wu Qinghui, and the two pushed open the wooden door with force.

"Squeak!"

The two poked their heads out, and it was pitch black.

"This should be a dark room similar to the one in the old clock shop."

Su Qinqin observed the surroundings and said.

"I don't know where this is?"

At this moment, the sound of people walking outside was suddenly heard.

"I heard that the Qiankun Palace is haunted."

The voice that spoke sounded like a little lady.

Immediately after that, the voice of another little lady sounded

"Shhhh It is said that the rebellion of the prime minister was retributed. ”

"Then why is King Xiang okay?"

"King Xiang rebelled because he wanted to be the emperor of men, and God sent the demons underground to seal the Qiankun Palace, so naturally he would not be the emperor of men."

"Well, if you don't say that the human emperor is the pride of the sky, God will protect you."

"Hmm!"

The two little ladies were chatting hotly, and suddenly there was a strange reprimand.

"You two, dare to spread rumors in the palace!"

Two loud kneeling sounds.

"Father-in-law spares his life!"

"Come on, throw the two of them out and kill them with a cane."

In the screams of the two little ladies, several ladies looked at each other.

Father-in-law? Gong Fu? Xiang Wang? Qiankun Palace?

They came to the palace!

The footsteps to be heard faded away, and several people let out a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground.

"Qinqin, what's the situation, shouldn't we be near Refreshment Street, why did you come to the palace?"

Su Qinqin was also shocked.

"Could it be that the previous speculation was wrong, we were not in Refreshment Street?"

"But we're really heading west."

Wu Qinghui said.

"There is also a possibility that the tunnel is not straight at all."

"No, even if it's not straight, from the handicraft street to the palace, there will be Changming Lake in the middle, but we have walked all the way, and there is no lake to block it."

"And what if we're underground, under the bottom of the lake?"

Su Qinqin's face was expressionless, and she said a startling speculation.

"Impossible, although the wooden ladder is long, it is definitely not as deep as Changming Lake."

Su Qinqin said

"I was suspicious of one thing before, this tunnel may not be flat, and now it seems that since the tunnel can be wide or narrow, or not straight, why can't it be high or low?"

"The person who designed this tunnel is really a brilliant person, we actually started to go down, but the slope is so small that we can't tell it at all, so when we came up just now, it took so long, it wasn't an illusion, but we were really farther away from the ground."

When Liu Niangzi heard this, she exclaimed

"This ancient man is really powerful, such a magical secret passage can be created."

"So what do we do now? Aren't we going to save Xiao Zhong? ”

Wu Qinghui asked.

Su Qinqin frowned slightly, squatted on the ground, and muttered to herself

"I want to think about it."

"We did head west at first, so we did pass through Refreshment Street, and the sound we just heard was supposed to be from Refreshment Street, but it had been at least an hour here, which means that we had gone around half the city along the tunnel to the Imperial Palace."

Hiss!

"This is too weird, what is this tunnel for?"

Right now.

"Bump!"

It was as if a giant hammer had suddenly smashed into the wall of the room they were.

"Bump!"

There was another sound of smashing the wall, the wall shook violently, and the wall was smashed into a little deformed.

"Hard!"

Someone shouted outside.

Several people turned pale, flustered and at a loss.

"Go back to the secret passage!"

Su Qinqin was the first to calm down and whispered to a few people.

The other three were alerted and hurried into the entrance to the tunnel.

Touch! Touch! Touch! ……

I don't know how many times the wall was smashed, and finally it was smashed through.

An officer with a fat head and big ears poked his head in.

"Ahem!"

The dust caused him to choke twice.

"There's a secret passage here."

The fat officer shrank back and shouted.

Several ladies hiding at the entrance of the secret passage changed their faces when they heard this.

"Hurry down."

Su Qinqin said.

"They're probably going to come in."

Listening to the tone of the officers and soldiers, they should have come to find this secret passage.

A few people followed the ladder and quickly went down.

On the ground, the fat officer and soldier led a team of officers and soldiers in, followed by an old man.

"Old man Zhong, good job."

This old man is the old clock that was taken away that night.

The fat officer and soldier patted Lao Zhong's shoulder approvingly, and then beckoned the officers and soldiers behind him.

"Go down, remember to cover your mouth and nose, don't be affected."

"Yes!"

"Gollum."

Through the big hole in the wall that had been smashed open, several wooden carts were propelled.

Each wooden cart was covered with a black cloth.

"Wow!" "Wow!" "Wow!"

Officers and soldiers uncovered the black cloth one after another.

A bright red ocean appeared in front of you.

A full five carts of Manju Sawa were piled up on the car like straw!

Seeing this, the fat officer and soldier had a burst of fear in his eyes, and then twisted his fat body and ran out as if flying.

"Get to work!"

Only this one sentence remains.

Those officers and soldiers covered their mouths and noses with the black cloth they carried, and the smell of the red ocean still made those officers and soldiers palpitate for a while.

An officer and soldier picked up a handful of manju sawa, opened the wooden door, and climbed down, looking at the skillful appearance, it seemed that this was not the first time he had done this.

Then the rest of the officers and soldiers also each held a handful of Manzhu Sawa and followed closely down the tunnel.

In the tunnel, Su Qinqin and the others went down the wooden ladder as fast as possible, and then under Su Qinqin's urging, several people ran back as hard as they could.

"Quick, they'll come down soon, we'll have to run a little farther."

A few people ran along with a stick of incense, but they couldn't run anymore.

"Hah! Ha! ”

"It should be far enough from here, I can't really run."

Mrs. Hu panted, her face turned pale, and she sat on the ground.

Su Qinqin's face was covered with fragrant sweat, and she looked back vigilantly for a long time, confirming that no sound came, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's rest for a while, this tunnel is so long, they can't get here for a while, but they can't rest for too long, I don't know when, they will find out."

Wu Qinghui slowed down for a while, gained some strength, and said

"Don't say it, this way back seems to be more tiring than when you go, is it true as Qinqin said, this tunnel is down?"

Su Qinqin also noticed this and said with a wry smile

"I wish I had guessed wrong."

"If that's true, where does the end of this tunnel lead?"

Several people were shocked and looked at Su Qinqin in disbelief.

"Could it be that this tunnel really leads underground?"

"It can't lead to the underworld, right?"

"Phew! What nonsense? ”

Liu Niangzi snorted twice.

Su Qinqin's face was very ugly, and she said slowly

"Who knows, maybe it's really the underworld."

After a while, the few people were almost rested, and there was still no movement in front of the tunnel.

"They don't seem to have come."

Wu Qinghui said.

"Why don't we go over and have a look?"

Su Qinqin patted the ash on her clothes.

"It's okay, just in case, leave two people here."

"Then I'll go with Qinqin."

Wu Qinghui proposed.

Liu Niangzi sat on the ground and waved her hand weakly

"Go ahead, I don't want to move anyway, I'm tired of my mother today."

Mrs. Hu was even more straightforward, leaning on the side and falling asleep.

"Then we'll go back as soon as we go."

Su Qinqin said, and then the two turned back to the west along the tunnel.

This time the two walked more slowly, about a quarter of an hour away, when they heard a faint light of fire coming from ahead.

The two hesitated, walked slower and lighter, and slowly moved forward.

"A few of you, plant some, don't be so close, just plant one every three zhang."

"Captain, Lao Li has fallen!"

"Hurry, hurry! Lift it up, replace it down, don't ink! ”
