Chapter 53: The Secret Room at the Bottom of the House

"The people are gone!"

As soon as he entered the firewood room, the little snake's head poked out from the placket of Ye Chuchen's shoulder, and his voice murmured.

Ye Chuchen looked around, in the house, except for some utensils hanging on the wall for cooking on the fire, there was nothing worth noting.

"Let's take a look at where the mechanism might be hidden. While speaking, Ye Chuchen cautiously walked to the pile of dry wood next to the stove.

The pile of dry timber was half-leaning against the not-so-clean wall.

"Huh!" Ye Chuchen gently opened the pile of materials with both hands, and suddenly, a thumb-sized button appeared in front of him.

"Sure enough!" Ye Chuchen exhaled, presumably the button in front of him should be the mechanism.

Boom!

"Sizzle~" With Ye Chuchen's fingers pressed, the next moment I saw that the wall that was originally covered by dry wood also made a soft sound.

In the blink of an eye, a small square slab of stone had tilted into the wall, revealing a slit that could fit through a person's body.

"What are you waiting for, don't you go in yet?" Looking at the secret passage at the entrance, Ye Chuchen's brows furrowed slightly, and the little snake's head was attached to Ye Chuchen's shoulder, and he couldn't help but say.

"I think it's better to be careful. Taking a deep breath, Ye Chuchen's figure slowly sank into the dark passage.

"This, how can it be so cold?!" As soon as he entered the secret road, Ye Chuchen's body couldn't help but shiver.

From the moment he stepped into the secret tunnel, he was surprised to find that the temperature inside the secret tunnel was much lower than the environment outside the entrance. Even at a distance of one meter from the entrance, the temperature is very different from the outside world.

"There seems to be a terrifying existence in this dark passage!" Feeling the cold air around him, the little snake on Ye Chuchen's shoulder also spoke in a heavy tone.

Following the rock wall, Ye Chuchen walked cautiously.

The dark passage is not too narrow, and for Ye Chuchen, he can walk freely in the dark passage.

It's just that for the sake of safety, Ye Chuchen also had to stick to the rock wall, so that the probability of being found would be reduced accordingly, although the low temperature in the dark tunnel made a thin layer of ice on the rock wall, but it was still okay to stick to it.

And as Ye Chuchen gradually deepened, the light in the dark passage also became dark.

"The light is getting dimmer. Ye Chuchen secretly said in his heart, and Ye Chuchen also had a trace of worry about the gradually deepening secret path.

"Look there's a ray of light ahead. ”

"Shh

Seeing a bright spot appear in front of him, the little snake on Ye Chuchen's shoulder couldn't help but get excited, and Ye Chuchen hurriedly stopped it, indeed, in this kind of unfamiliar place, it is very unwise to shout loudly, let alone in a dark passage that is so cold that it is to death.

Following the light, Ye Chuchen moved in small steps, and it didn't take long to reach the source of the light.

It was a ninety-degree corner, and the corner was not narrow, not much different from the dark passage that had been passed before, and the light came from the other side of the corner.

Slowly turning his head, his gaze passed through the dark passage, and immediately, a circular altar-like secret room appeared in Ye Chuchen's eyes.

Ye Chuchen looked intently, the secret room was not too big, and it looked like it could accommodate up to a hundred people.

Around the secret room, there are a number of candlesticks arranged regularly, and the top of each candlestick is divided into three prongs, and a white candle is burned on each fork.

All the candles on the candlesticks add up to more than a hundred, and the light of the candles illuminates the secret room brightly, and it is obvious that the light that came from the corner is also from this.

However, what attracted Ye Chuchen's attention the most was not the candles and candlesticks in the secret room, but the two figures in the center of the secret room.

If Ye Chuchen wasn't blind, he would definitely be surprised by what he saw. Before, because that person had been wearing a veil, but now, the veil on that person's face was removed, and it was impossible for Ye Chuchen to recognize it.

Because of the two people in the center of the secret room, one was the black shadow he was following, and it was also the holy aunt he saw on the first day he entered Chang'an City.

As for the other one, he looked like an old man with disheveled hair and a little ragged clothes, looking like a beggar who hadn't eaten for a long time.

But if that's the case, you think he's not in the slightest danger, and that's a big mistake.

From the first time Ye Chuchen saw the old man, a numbing chill emanated from the old man's body.

That kind of cold level, if it weren't for Ye Chuchen's physique being quite strong as a cultivator, I'm afraid he would have been lying on the ground trembling at this time.

All in all, in Ye Chuchen's opinion, this mysterious old man is definitely not simple, and it can even be said to be very scary. As for how terrifying it is, Ye Chuchen also has his own thoughts, that is, if the person in front of him wants to kill him, then he doesn't even have a chance to escape.

"Uncle Yin. ”

I saw that the girl in front of the old man bowed slightly, and then said in a sweet voice.

The old man nodded, with a strange fluctuation in his eyes, and then said, "It's all done......!"
