Chapter II, Section XVIII, Tunnel Crisis 252

At dawn, the smokeless ditch sank into the lifeless and deceitful again; at the entrance of the ditch, there was still a tiger lying under the building sign, four slaves standing, and two dogs lying on their stomachs; there was still no one on the street.

Ren Tianqi and Tang Shengzhi slept very soundly, and no one came to disturb them, it was really rare and incomprehensible, perhaps, it was really the old lady in the Dragon Mansion who was in the ditch, and she had already explained.

In the morning, the two sneaked out of the room and searched the inn separately. I really saw a lot of people in the inn, the disciples of the Huashan faction, the masked fat man behind Ximen Qingyuan, and several Jianghu guests, but all of them were sleeping in bed, as if they were dead, and they only had one more breath than the dead.

Ren Tang and the others secretly rejoiced, if it weren't for the two of them pretending to pour the two cups of tea on their clothes as soon as they entered the room, it is estimated that they would be like these people now, unconscious and slaughtered. But Ren Tianqi still didn't quite understand what the bottle of medicine that Xiaoyu secretly gave him was used for, so he took it out and showed it to Tang Shengzhi, and the two concluded that it should be an inexplicable antidote, but they didn't know what to do. The two of them combined, Xiaoyu's move is absolutely not malicious, regardless of his three seven twenty-one, the two of them will take it first, even if there is a big harm, with Tang Shengzhi, it will be no big problem for a while.

The two of them failed to see a single person in the inn, but their hearts were clear, and they understood that their every move was under the supervision of others, and there were not many secrets to speak of; since the two of them had nothing to hide, why not sit and search in the ditch during the day, and find more clues, so the two of them went separately in the ditch: Tang Shengzhi went straight to the grocery store, and Ren Tianqi was looking for the tunnel in the inn.

It was easy to find the tunnel entrance yesterday, hidden under a plate of flowers and trees at the corner of the corridor. Ren Tianqi moved the bonsai, jumped into the tunnel, and walked forward along the tunnel.

The tunnels are cool, airy and brightly lit.

Ren Tianqi walked very slowly along the way, holding the Tianshan Divine Mang, and kept knocking, stabbing at the two walls of the passage. Ren Tianqi knew that this passage extended in all directions, and the road was intricate, and if he took a wrong step, he might fall into a deep predicament and not be able to get out; and there were many secret doors and secret passages everywhere, which were extremely difficult for people to discover, so he needed to be cautious to identify the marks he left on the wall yesterday.

I stopped and walked all the way down to the fork crossing, and I saw that the two crossings were the same, but the road that I had never walked seemed to be wider, and the lights were dimer.

Ren Tianqi was guessing what Zhu'er's intention was when she glanced back, whether she was kindly hinting that there was a secret she wanted to know on that path, or whether she was pretending to be a gesture to lure herself to the scheme. Zhu'er has a good impression of herself, she can't talk about it, good intentions are innate, look at the two mother-in-law and grandson are so complacent in the ditch, I'm afraid it's not good, the possibility of good intentions is not much, and it's probably possible to lure you to the front.

Ren Tianqi put on the iron palm cover again, held two Tianshan Divine Mangs in his hand, and touched towards the other crossing, but he didn't take a few steps, but he heard a sound of footsteps on the other side, and there seemed to be a person humming a small song, walking slowly towards this side. Ren Tianqi was frightened and fled, hurriedly retreated, rolled on the spot, rolled back to the road he came from, walked back quickly, hid it, and probed out to keep an eye on it.

With the footsteps and the indistinct minor tone, an old man in tattered clothes, with white eyebrows and white eyebrows intertwined, walked cautiously forward at the crossing, holding a small wine jug in his hand, with his head bowed and one hand behind his back. It was as if he had heard something moving, and he was also moving quickly, lying on the spot, and the probe couldn't help but look around.

The old man lay on his stomach for a long time and didn't see any movement, then he took out a small wine jug and drank it again, slowly got up, and muttered: "It is true that someone has walked by here, I obviously heard the sound of footsteps, why didn't I see anyone." Who could it be? I don't know who is coming up there again, hey, there is not even a person to speak, suffocating people. The old man muttered to himself, scratched his head, and looked at the fork for a while, hesitating which way to go.

Suddenly, I heard footsteps in the passage, from the side of the passage from which I had come yesterday.

Ren Tianqi was shocked, wanted to hide but had nowhere to hide, wanted to retreat, but couldn't let go of the old man opposite, and saw that the old man would never be implicated with the so-called twelve stars in the ditch, so he held the Tianshan Divine Mang with both hands and watched with bated breath.

Then the old man rolled backwards, like a ball, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Two people came out of the passage, one tall and one short, a man and a woman. It's beads and rice consumption. The beads are in the front, and the rats are in the back. The two of them walked very fast, as if they were in a hurry.

The two had been walking towards Ren Tianqi's hiding place, but Zhu'er inadvertently glanced back at the road where the old man had retreated, and saw the lights flickering, so she couldn't help but stop and turn around and stand.

Mi Yan was taken aback and said with a smile: "Zhu'er, what's wrong?"

Zhu'er shook her head and pointed to the flickering flame with a nervous expression.

Mi Qian turned his head and shook his hand, revealing the pair of five-claw rods made of stainless steel. After a long time, Mi Yan turned back to Zhu'er and said: "Go over and take a look, no one in the world can break the things of the divine machine, no one should be able to escape, who will be the one who just walked?"

Zhu'er nodded and said, "I'm afraid that there is an internal ghost, don't you smell wine?" Uncle Mi, have you drunk?"

The mouse shook his head and said, "Uncle Mi was born to never drink. ”

Zhu'er nodded and said, "Okay, then go over and have a look." Then Zhu'er shook his hand and took out a short knife, pulled out his leg and walked over.

Seeing that the two of them went to that passage, Ren Tianqi hurriedly appeared and rolled on the spot, rolled into the opposite passage, hid, and secretly paid attention to this side.

Soon saw Zhu'er and the two returning, the two of them hurriedly walked towards the passage of the inn, and disappeared in a flash.

Ren Tianqi sighed softly, and was about to turn around and lean against the wall to think about what to do, when he turned around, he saw a pair of big eyes in front of him staring at him. Ren Tianqi's soul was scattered, and he hurriedly rushed out with his feet, holding his god to protect his whole body. Standing in front of him was a masked man dressed in black, with only a pair of eyes out, shining brightly, and carrying a short sword in his hand.

Ren Tianqi didn't know when this person sneaked behind him silently, maybe just like himself, he was hiding here because he met Mi Qian and Zhu'er, and it was inconvenient to make a move, so it was inconvenient for someone to come and be an enemy, otherwise Fang Cai might have shouted a voice as soon as he stretched out his hand, and he would have suffered.

Both of them were surprised, their eyes facing each other, motionless.

After a long time, the other party trembled in a low voice: "Are you Brother Ren?"

The person who came turned out to be a woman, and when she heard her voice, she knew that it was Xiaoyu.

Ren Tianqi didn't know whether to nod or shake his head, but he just stood still.

Xiao Yu hurriedly put away his sword and said, "Why don't you leave?" It's extremely dangerous here, you are not their opponent, let's go." ”

Ren Tianqi was silent, staring at Xiaoyu motionlessly.

Xiao Yu shook her feet, sighed, and hurriedly pulled over.

At the moment when the two rubbed shoulders, Xiaoyu's eyes were full of tenderness and nostalgia, and she was reluctant.

Xiao Yu had long since disappeared, Ren Tianqi came back to his senses, calmed down, patted his brain, and flew towards the passage where the old man haunted, his body was extremely large, and his head was blank. A few jumps, is running forward, unexpectedly collided with a person in his arms, Ren Tianqi was so frightened that the double mangs in his hand turned backwards and handed them forward, refused to be a guest for thousands of miles, flew upside down with his feet, landed and stabilized his body, and looked at it.
