Chapter 30: The Secret Path

Ling Fengpiao and Ouyang Yiming and I returned to the Shita Guild Hall and found that there were two plainclothes guards guarding the Uta, and there were three hidden stakes nearby, totaling five people.

We all breathed a sigh of relief. It's unlikely that many people came here. Even if three or five people came, they wouldn't dare to openly destroy it, right?

The Stone Pagoda Guild Hall is adjacent to the Wu Pagoda, facing south and facing north. It is surrounded by walls. It is an old building from the Qing Dynasty and is somewhat dilapidated. It covers an area of ​​about 500 square meters. The south of the hall is the stage and the north is the main hall, which houses the statue of Guandi.

The building here has been listed as a cultural relic protection unit, and Mr. Ouyang's apparent identity is to guard the Stone Tower Guild Hall.

After entering, Ouyang Yiming made arrangements to boil water for us to make tea, while I took out the ancient map and continued to study it. The little devils were very cunning, and there were no marks for them on the map. If I hadn't happened to know some Feng Shui theory, I would have gotten this

The map doesn't show anything interesting. Although I seriously doubt that they want to destroy the two towers, I can't see their specific plan from this map.

Xiaoxue suddenly said: "Sir, you don't understand Dongying Xizuo very well. They will not knock down the tower, but will quietly steal the treasures hidden under the tower. This can also destroy Feng Shui."

I was surprised, but I couldn't figure it out. Even if there were treasures under the two towers, it wouldn't be possible to steal them without knocking the towers down, right?

Xiaoxue said: "What about digging a tunnel? In other words, I will dig a tunnel underground."

Xiaoxue's body is a fox, so it is easy to think of digging a hole, but this is unreasonable, because digging a hole is a big project and requires a long time of digging. Moreover, the dug hole and a large amount of soil will definitely be discovered by people, and humans and foxes

Digging a hole is different.

"So what if there is a ready-made ancient tunnel? I have drilled through many ancient tombs before..."

The words woke up the dreamer, and I broke out in a cold sweat. Mr. Lin’s villa is very close to the White Pagoda, and the Stone Pagoda Hall is also close to the Wu Pagoda. They were all built very early. Who can guarantee that there are no secrets under these ancient buildings?

Dao? Maybe these two buildings are used to hide the underground exits of the two towers!

I always thought that the supernatural incident that happened in Mr. Lin's villa was a Japanese onmyoji who wanted to steal the jade charm, but the map found on him proved that he was not here to steal the jade charm. He created the supernatural incident to scare Mr. Lin's family.

He ran away to find the tunnel entrance in the villa, but he was also afraid that it would attract the attention of the Chinese cultivation world, so he did not make much noise at first. Mr. Lin refused to leave, and Ling Fengpiao, Lu Qingwen, Gao Feng and I joined in to join in the fun.

, the Ghost Festival is getting closer and closer, the Japanese Onmyoji became anxious, so they drove the dog ghosts to drive away Lu Qingwen and the others, and last night they came to find the secret passage in person...

I hurriedly asked Ouyang Yiming who was making tea: "Old man, is there an underground secret passage here?"

"Underground secret passage? No, never heard of it."

"So is there anything special? For example, ancient wells that can go deep into the ground, deep trenches, deep pits, etc.?"

Ouyang Yiming hurriedly said: "Yes, there is this one, and it is a big well. It is said that there was a great plague in Fuzhou. A Taoist priest put herbs into the well water and cured many people's diseases. Later, a stone tablet was erected called "

'Xidanjing'..."

"Take me to see it quickly."

Ouyang Yiming also became nervous. He quickly put down the teapot and ran out with me. I told him my guess as I walked.

The ancient well does not have a manhole, so it has been covered with two semicircular stone slabs formed into a circle. Four large stones were used to form a "well" shape on the ground at the wellhead. We removed the stone slabs and the walls of the well were made of blue bricks.

It is about two meters in diameter and about two and a half meters from the water surface to the ground. It is impossible to determine how deep it is under the water. Large wells like this are very rare in the south. It is impossible for a large number of people to live in the Shita Guild Hall, so there is no need for such a well.

A big well?

I was about to take off my clothes and go down when Xiaoxue said: "No need to go down, I have already sensed it. There is a mechanism at the bottom of the well, which allows you to enter a narrow passage leading to Uta. This kind of mechanism is not easy to unlock. You must follow certain instructions."

Press the bricks in the correct order to open it. If you press them incorrectly, the entire passage will collapse."

I raised my head and asked Ouyang Yiming: "Old man, there is a secret passage below, and some bricks must be pushed down in a certain order. Do you know how to open it?"

Ouyang Yiming frowned, "I didn't know there was a secret passage down there, let alone the method to open it... But my ancestors did pass down a secret formula, which was related to numbers. I always thought it was a training formula, and I couldn't believe it.

The solution. This formula is..."

"Don't tell me!" I hurriedly stopped Ouyang Yiming. Although there was no one nearby, there was no guarantee that no bugs had been installed. According to Xiaoxue, Japanese onmyojis are often spies, so they must have these devices.

Obviously no one has ever gone down into the well, let alone entered it. As long as Ouyang Yiming doesn't tell anyone, no one can go in. Since there is a secret passage here, there must be one in Mr. Lin's home. Mr. Lin doesn't know if he is in the villa...

…I hurriedly took out my mobile phone and dialed Mr. Lin’s mobile phone number, but the voice prompt indicated that the other party’s phone had been turned off.

I called Mr. Lin more than half an hour ago, but why did the phone suddenly shut down? And he was still in the villa at that time! I started to get nervous and said to Ling Fengpiao and Ouyang Yiming: "There must be a secret passage in Mr. Lin's house."

, the devil caused a supernatural incident last time to force him to leave. Mr. Lin was still in the villa just now, but now he has turned off his phone, I'm afraid something is wrong!"

"Hurry up and call the police..." Ling Fengpiao just said these four words, and quickly closed her mouth and slapped herself loudly. Do we still dare to call the police?

"They can't get in here. It's okay for the time being. Let's go to Yushan and have a look." I hurried to where Ouyang Yiming lived and picked up the small cloth bag that he had stored here before. Inside was my magic weapon and

The things used for casting spells were tied on the backs and the two of them walked out.

Ling Fengpiao asked: "The old man doesn't even know there is a secret passage, how could the devil know it?"

"Didn't the old man say it this morning? There are relevant records in their ancestors. The ancient books were lost during the Anti-Japanese War, and they must have fallen into the hands of the Japanese. Also, the descendants of the Cao family are fond of gambling. If someone gets close to him, what secrets can he dig out?

Not coming out? In the end, he died unexpectedly, but I’m afraid it wasn’t an accident.”

Ouyang Yiming immediately said: "It makes sense, Xiao Zhang, your mind is spinning very fast. By the way, during this period, a middle-aged man often came to me to play chess, talk to me about ancient formations and other things, and

You gave me a set of chess pieces and two boxes of tea, is there something wrong with that?"

There is no doubt that he is also Japanese. I quickly asked: "What did you say to him?"

"This... is just some small talk, right? I still know the seriousness. I'm talking about the person you saw when you came to me this morning. Now that I think about it, he is indeed a bit suspicious. Fortunately, you came to me, otherwise he would be here tonight.

They will definitely use some method to deal with me."

I suddenly remembered something. I have always suspected that the "Taiwanese photographer" had an ulterior motive in approaching Ouyang Zhenfei. What if he kidnapped Ouyang Zhenfei and forced the old man to tell the truth? I once asked Captain Wang to send someone to protect Ouyang Zhenfei.

But I guess he didn't take it seriously. I quickly took out my mobile phone and dialed the public phone number of Ouyang Zhenfei's store.

"Who is it?" Ouyang Zhenfei's mother's voice came from the other end of the phone.

I hurriedly said: "Is Xiaofei at home?"

"No, I went out to play!"

I was even more frightened: "When did she go out? Where did she go? Are there any police officers following her?"

"Okay, it's you again. Ever since you came, she can't keep her temper in check. She runs out all day long. From now on, she's not allowed to see Xiao Fei. She'll move out for me tomorrow. Xing Ying is busy (crazy)..."

Ouyang Zhenfei's mother was very angry and hung up the phone with a bang.

I was speechless and handed the phone to Ouyang Yiming. A daughter-in-law shouldn't interrupt her father-in-law's calls, right? Unexpectedly, Ouyang Yiming called her three times and the other party didn't answer.

"Old man, you'd better go home and take a look."

Ouyang Yiming hesitated for a moment and immediately shook his head: "No, maybe she went to a classmate's house to play. If the Japanese really attack her, it's too late for me to go back now. It's better to go to the White Tower!"

It's rare for him to be so calm, and I secretly admire him. If I encountered such a thing, I would probably be in chaos.

The straight-line distance between Uta and White Pagoda is not far. They are only separated by two or three blocks of Bayiqi Middle Road and Fahai Road. The main reason is that we cannot go straight and have to go around a lot. Ouyang Yiming and I ran fast, and Ling Fengpiao chased behind us.

I was out of breath and gradually fell behind.

In less than half an hour, Ouyang Yiming and I arrived in front of Mr. Lin's small courtyard. It was pitch dark inside, and we didn't see any police officers or security guards. The matter from the previous night should have been almost settled, and the police officers might have

Everyone has been evacuated, but where are the security guards?

I signaled Ouyang Yiming to slow down his steps and stay back. I dove in first because I had the advantage of night vision and my steps were particularly brisk.

The door was closed. I pushed it gently and locked it from the inside. Then there must be someone inside! I listened carefully, but I didn't hear any sound, and I didn't sense any unusual breath.

I stepped back a little, looked up, and saw that there was a window that was not closed, and there was an extending corridor on the second floor, so I took a few steps, jumped lightly, hooked the edge of the corridor, and turned over.

Xiaoxue told me that there was no one upstairs. At this time, there was a slight muffled sound below. I entered the house and quietly walked down the stairs. I didn't see anyone when I walked to the hall, so the enemy was in a certain room.

, I didn’t rush to find anyone, I opened the door first and let Ouyang Yiming in, then I motioned to him quietly and followed.

I seriously suspect that Mr. Lin has fallen into the hands of the Japanese, so I want to make a surprise attack to rescue Mr. Lin, otherwise we will be very passive.

There was another slight muffled sound. It felt like it was under my feet, but the ground under my feet was intact. The doors to other rooms were closed, except for Mr. Lin's bedroom door, which was ajar.

Xiaoxue said: "I sensed that there was a secret passage under our feet, and three people were pushing a stone door... The entrance to the secret passage was in the master bedroom over there, and there were two ordinary people who were unconscious inside."
