Chapter 402
The three of them walked swaggeringly on the streets of the slums, completely ignoring the peeping in the dark places around them.
At this time, there were already many pedestrians on the street, but most of them looked shocked.
For these people living in slums, the most exciting thing in their lives is the things they had before, and if Mr. Gu had not turned the tide, they might have all died there.
Therefore, the old drunkard who was not very popular was now a celebrity in the slums. Along the way, whenever passers-by recognize Mr. Gu, they always thank him for a while.
Boss Li’s tavern is not far from Gu Mochen’s house, but he also spent a lot of time on the polite and humble road. Fortunately, Mr. Gu’s cold face blocked many people who wanted to get close to him, otherwise he would not know when he would go.
When they entered the tavern, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief. Boss Li closed the door with his backhand and hung up a sign that was suspended. Then he wiped his sweat and said with a smile: Old man, you are more famous than your grandson now.
Less nonsense, what about wine?
Mr. Gu didn't care about these things. He stretched out his hand and asked Boss Li for drinks.
Alas, you are
Boss Li shook his head, pointed to the back room, and said: Let's go, the wine is in the wine cellar.
He led the way first. His tavern had two halls in front and back. He dug a cellar in the back hall to facilitate Boss Li to store wine.
Boss Li led the two of them to the entrance of the cellar and opened the door to the ground. Suddenly, a strong smell of wine mixed with the fragrance of various wine came up.
Mr. Gu sniffed intoxication and sighed: I would have opened a tavern if I had known.
Boss Li was startled and waved his hands repeatedly: Master, don’t come and rob my business. With your current popularity, if I really open a tavern, I will have no business here!
Just talk, let's go!
Mr. Gu glared at him and signaled with his eyes. Boss Li then put away his expression, raised his chin, and entered the wine cellar first.
Gu Mochen helped his grandfather and followed.
The wine cellar was dug very deeply, and the three of them took one step at a time. After five minutes, they finally arrived at an underground hall with rows of wine jars.
After Gu Mochen helped his grandfather walk the last stairs, Boss Li turned around and pressed the wall. A blue brick was pressed into the wall by him. With a rumbling sound, a metal iron door fell from the top of the stairs, locking the three of them tightly in the hall.
OK, now you can speak well.
Boss Li smiled and clapped his hands, and his voice finally returned to normal. He stopped shouting loudly, deliberately attracting the attention of people outside.
Uncle Li, this is
Gu Mochen reached out to knock on the door. The dull sound made him feel the iron door was extremely heavy.
This place was originally available, and it was made by the former owner of this tavern. I think it is not bad to use as a wine cellar, so I have been using it until now. Don't worry, it is absolutely soundproof.
Boss Li also knocked on the iron door and explained to Gu Mochen.
Then, he turned to Mr. Gu and asked: Mr. Gu, why did you ask me to make an excuse to bring you here?
Gu Mochen was stunned, and then he remembered that after his grandfather had preciously broken the barrier of Qi and veins, he came to Boss Li's tavern and made a full pot of wine.
Originally, he thought that he would keep drinking, so this action did not make Gu Mochen care too much. Later, Mr. Gu also relied on this pot of wine to save his life because of his internal strength. So Gu Mochen thought that grandpa was really just a drink when he went to Boss Li's tavern.
But now it seems that at that time, grandpa secretly conveyed the message to Boss Li?
He returned home with himself first, and then asked Boss Li to come. Under the noses of spies placed by many forces, he returned to the tavern again, because it was for this wine cellar?
Xiao Li, you did a good job.
Mr. Gu nodded, glanced around the wine cellar, and then said: Xiaochen and I are leaving here, but there are too many whistles outside, so we want to borrow your wine cellar to leave, and I hope you don’t mind.
Why did Boss Li wave his hand quickly, suddenly recall it, and wonder: Old man, do you want to use my wine cellar to avoid those people’s eyes and ears?
But this place is closed, how do you leave?
He didn't ask whether Mr. Gu's cultivation level was afraid of those outside. After all, Mr. Gu really saved his life not long ago. Now that the other party wants him to repay this favor, Mr. Li did not hesitate.
Because it's not just a wine cellar!
Mr. Gu looked nostalgic and said: You may not know that the former owner of the house sold to you was actually a friend of mine. Most of the reason why I moved my family to Changtian City was because of this friend here.
Unfortunately, he had died earlier and sold the house to you before he died, so I actually know some of the secrets in this house better than you.
As soon as this said, Boss Li suddenly realized and said: No wonder, you come to my tavern every time you drink. It turns out that you are remembering your friend.
That's right.
Mr. Gu smiled and said: I am just such a friend in Changtian City. He left. I came here to drink and pay tribute to my old friends.
As for here
Mr. Gu looked around and said: My friend is a person who is safe in his work. He likes to leave a way out for himself in everything he does. You should know that in the past, Changtian City was often attacked by beast tides. In order to prevent it, if Changtian City was broken by a strange beast and he was buried in the beast's belly, my friend spent a lot of effort to dig a passage to the outside world in this cellar to escape in an emergency.
However, after he dug this passage, he never used it. Later, there were more and more warriors in Changtian City, which could also play a good role in suppressing the strange beasts outside. However, he had never been born before the beast tide.
So even himself, he gradually forgot that there was another secret story here. When he sold the house to you before, he was negligent and did not tell you.
I see!
Boss Li suddenly realized and said: No wonder I always thought this cellar was very strange. It was obviously sealed, but I didn’t feel stuffy. It seemed that the air was still circulating, and it was not as dark and humid as other cellars. It was very suitable for me to use as a wine cellar.
Grandpa, where are you talking about the secret passage?
Gu Mochen couldn't help asking curiously.
This has to be found.
Mr. Gu looked around and said: I had heard him mention it once by accident, but I never came down to see it with my own eyes. But what I can be sure is that this secret passage must exist.
Then we have to knock on brick by brick.
Boss Li smiled bitterly. He placed hundreds of wine jars here, most of which were arranged against the wall. If there was a secret message, most of them were opened somewhere on the wall. If you want to find them out, you must move the wine jars one by one. Only then can you carefully investigate.
No, I'll try it.
Gu Mochen waved his hand and stopped Boss Li from moving the heavy wine jars.
As he said that, he closed his eyes.
Since Boss Li said that there is air circulation here, he only needs to rely on his perception to find the direction of the air flow to find the secret passage.
