Zhou Mansion.

The door is closed.

When Sikong Qian and Kong Ye arrived with their people, they felt a strange atmosphere.

It's not yet noon, and the house should be the busiest at this time.

But no one heard a sound coming from the mansion.

It's too quiet.

The two of them were shocked. Could it be that they were late?

However, according to the procedure, a Jin Tianwei was ordered to lead a team of people to quickly surround the entire Zhou Mansion.

When Yin Tianwei opened the door, he found that there was no one in the entire mansion.

It was empty, not even a person watching the front door.

"search!"

Sikong Qian ordered.

Two Jin Tianwei led two teams of Silver Tianwei and quickly rushed to the mansion.

"There's no one in the east wing."

"The west wing is empty."

"There is no one in the side room."

"..."

After a while, two Jintian guards came to report.

"Sir, the entire mansion has been searched, and there is no one there."

No one?

Kong Ye frowned slightly, looked at Sikong Qian, and said: "Our people found no signs of the Zhou family absconding, and the people from the Skynet Department watched helplessly as Zhou Yaoyu and others were released from the prison and entered the Zhou Mansion.

, and no one came out after that.”

Sikong Qian looked sternly and said to the two Jin Tianwei: "Continue searching! Maybe there is an underground secret passage in Zhou Mansion this week, and I have to dig three feet into the ground to find it!"

"Yes, sir!"

The two Jin Tianwei led people away.

Half an hour later.

A Yin Tianwei shouted: "We have discovered something!"

The sound came from the direction of the Zhou Family Ancestral Hall.

Found anything?

Everyone was overjoyed and went quickly.

When Sikong Qian and Kong Ye arrived, they found that this was a medium-sized ancestral hall.

There is an altar made of obsidian in the middle, about one foot long, six feet wide and five feet high, about as tall as a person.

But I saw a Yin Tianwei standing in front of a wall behind the ancestral hall.

Seeing Sikong Qian and Kong Ye arriving, Yin Tianwei cupped his fists and said, "Sir."

"Where?"

Sikong Qian looked around and asked.

Even he didn't find anything suspicious when he got here.

No passage was found.

Yin Tianwei said: "Here."

As he spoke, the wall on his side.

wall?

Sikong Qian stepped forward, knocked on it, and found that it was solid and very thick.

Suddenly I was a little confused.

There is no passage in this wall.

Yin Tianwei said quickly: "Sir, this wall is solid and there is no passage. The passage should be below."

As he spoke, he walked back and forth a few steps on the ground, each step being very vigorous.

Then he stepped hard on the place where he was standing before.

The ground shook and the walls shook.

And then...and then nothing.

The Yin Tianwei said with some embarrassment: "Two adults, I don't have enough strength, so I can't open it."

Kong Ye looked at him in surprise and said, "Did you just walk the Seven Star Steps?"

Yin Tianwei said quickly: "Your Excellency, it is the Seven-Star Step."

Kong Ye asked: "How did you come up with the idea of ​​using the Seven Star Steps to open this secret passage?"

Yin Tianwei said: "Sir, you see, the edges of these seven floor tiles on the ground are somewhat different from other floor tiles, and there is less dust.

My subordinate happened to have seen the Seven Star Steps in a book, so I thought of it.

I tried it, and sure enough the wall can shake."

Sikong Qian nodded and said in approval: "Not bad. What's your name?"

"My subordinate Zhou Jin."

"Surname Zhou?" Sikong Qian was slightly startled.

Zhou Jin quickly said: "Sir, my subordinate is from Liucheng, his ancestors are hunters, and he has nothing to do with the Zhou family here."

Sikong Qian smiled slightly and nodded.

Zhou Boli, the Minister of Rites, has been a member of the capital city for seven generations and has been an official for three generations. Naturally, he has nothing to do with Liucheng, which is thousands of miles away.

Then he turned to Kong Ye and said with a smile:

"It seems that you are familiar with these seven-star steps, so come on."

Kong Ye was not polite and walked over immediately.

Zhou Jin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and stepped aside.

Kong Ye was not very familiar with the Seven Star Steps either.

But Zhou Jin has been through it before, he just needs to follow the example of the gourd.

Every patrolling angel is in the realm of kings and is extremely powerful.

After seven steps, the ground shook.

When the last step was taken, the entire wall began to rise upwards.

A three-foot-long and seven-foot-wide entrance was revealed below.

When the entrance opened, a strong force of death surged out from below.

Sikong Qian, Kong Ye and others' faces darkened, feeling deeply that something was wrong.

"Get down!"

Sikong Qian went down first, followed closely by Kong Ye, and the others also went down quickly.

After going down the passage for more than thirty meters, it suddenly opened up and turned out to be a huge space.

But at this time, the scene in this space was shocking.

There were corpses lying scattered on the ground, and they were all mummified.

They were dressed in the clothes of slaves, and some of them were women.

They even saw Zhou Boli's mother, wife, and maid.

It's just that they are all skinny and bones, with sunken eye sockets and dull skin, as if they had been dead in the desert for many years.

Moving forward, they even saw Zhou Yaoyu's wife and children.

Zhou Yaoyu has only one wife, a five-year-old son and a seven-year-old daughter.

But at this time, they all became mummies, curled up and lying on the ground, and their deaths were pitiful.

As they walked inside, someone saw a familiar person.

In other words, the clothes are familiar.

Because this person can almost only be identified by his clothes.
