Chapter 55 The Red Gate Inn (55) The Secret Room of the Qian Family

"Spread your shoes and ask for directions?" Mo Chen looked at Zheng Yi with a dark face and raised his eyebrows incredibly.

??Zheng Yi licked his lips and did this "unreasonable" thing with a very serious expression.

Zheng Yi closed his eyes, held his shoes in his hands, muttered in his mouth, waved his way to two forks, threw his hands forward, and with a click, the thrown shoes fell to the bright passage.

Mo Chen snorted, "I've decided, let's go this one?"

Zheng Yi waved a finger and shook it at Mo Chen, "NO!NO!NO! Let's go!" He pointed to another dark passage and said.

"School!" Mo Chen muttered and walked in first, feeling a little regretful. He really shouldn't have come to check Zheng Yi's condition, which made him unable to help but accompany him to "go crazy" underground.

Zheng Yi was in a good mood and hummed a small song, put on his shoes, took two steps and walked around Mo Chen to explore the way, and said, "It's okay! Brother Yi protects you!"

The two of them tentatively groped forward one after another. Mo Chen reached out and wiped the top of his head. Except for the family at the entrance of the cave, the more they walked inside, Mo Chen found that they could actually stand up straight and didn't have to worry about touching the hole wall above his head.

"I said Brother Yi, you won't think of a way to make some light come out!" Mo Chen reached out to touch Zheng Yi's shoulder, patted him, and said to him.

He walked forward in the dark, not to mention slow movements, he could not see clearly what was ahead. Needless to mention the potential danger, even if there was a stumbling stone on the ground, he could not notice it.

"Please respect yourself objectively. Your request is not in the small scope of service." Zheng Yi replied without any seriousness. Although he couldn't see the other party's outline clearly, Mo Chen still imagined Zheng Yi's look of being slutty.

I don’t know how long I have been walking, but Mo Chen only felt that the time was very long. I don’t know if the person’s eyes would break through the physiological limits and adapt to the environment he was in, or because of Zeus in his body. Mo Chen slowly felt that there was light gradually beginning to begin to appear around him. As they moved forward, they could see the road under their feet more and more clearly.

Zheng Yi suddenly trotted two steps and shouted, "It's almost over."

Mo Chen took two steps and his vision gradually widened. They finally walked out of the secret passage and came to a cave and open space slightly different from before. Zheng Yi, who went out first, blew up at the wall, and a bright fire suddenly lit up. Mo Chen saw that it was a homemade torch placed beside the wall. The torch was tied with an oil cloth on it. I don’t know what material it was, but it would be bright when it encountered the wind.

With the fire, Mo Chen saw that there were two bookshelves neatly placed in the cave, and in the middle was a big red solid wood desk with pen, ink, paper and ink, etc. on the table.

Unexpectedly, there was a different kind of cave underground. Judging from the posture of this cave, it seemed that someone had lived here. This cave was not the end of the secret passage, right next to the wall of the bookshelf. Mo Chen saw that there were two other holes. Zheng Yi took off the torch, lit the bookshelf, and the oil lamp on the desk, and drilled into the hole of one of the branches.

"Don't run around!" Mo Chen shouted, Zheng Yi waved his hand, signaling that he would just check it out and come back soon.

There are many book volumes displayed on the bookshelf. In addition to some famous books, calligraphy and paintings, they are the genealogy of the Qian family and the ancestral teachings.

A black cover booklet suddenly came into Mo Chen's eyes. The handwriting on the cover may be because it has become moldy over the years, or because of some external reasons, it can only see four ink marks on it now, and I don't know what it is written.

Because the handwriting in the booklet is as unclear as the cover, and with many pages in the middle, it was torn off, Mo Chen could only reluctantly sort it out through the words and sort it out, and understand what was squeezed in the booklet by himself.

Mo Chen did not see the records of the world, and could only guess based on speculation that the ancestor of the Qian family was an official of the Qing court. Because he knew the secret of a royal relative who could not see people, he was forced to flee his family and even changed his name. Later, he settled here and abandoned his official position and went to business. The ancestor of the Qian family fled with a lot of silver when he fled, and was already very smart, but he didn't expect that he would do his business and live a prosperous life.

The person who built this underground secret passage was the ancestor of the Qian family. The purpose was to prevent the enemy from pursuing this, which would help save lives. Mo Chen saw from the records that this secret passage had multiple exits connecting the Qian family courtyard on the ground. Two exits were set up to escape into the mountains, which could be said to be a cunning rabbit's burial. However, for safety reasons, the secret passage was designed to be extremely complicated, with many forks and lame connections, and was also placed in an ambush. Only the heads of the Qian family's past dynasties knew the secret.

Seeing this, Mo Chen breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they were lucky enough to find the exit, he and Zheng Yi would have the chance to escape from here. It is worth praying that they should not be ambushed by the mechanism.

According to the records in the booklet, Mo Chen learned that the extremely attractive treasure land of Qian’s family was in this secret passage. The way to open the “treasure house” was the double dragon jade pendant that Haitang asked Qian Tianlong for before.

"Old Mo!" Zheng Yi called Mo Chen and hurriedly ran back.

Before Mo Chen asked, Zheng Yi pulled him to the fork in the road he had just entered, shouting, "Guess what I found?"

"Have you found the exit?" Mo Chen asked. If it weren't for the exit, Mo Chen really didn't know what else was worth Zheng Yi being so excited about.

"No!" Zheng Yi said, forcing Mo Chen to pull around a cave that was divided into fork, drilled into the secret passage that had been forked again, and walked around to an extremely spacious open space.

Zheng Yi spread Mo Chen's arm away. Mo Chen stood there and did not dare to move his footsteps. The scarlet lines on the open space arrogantly outlined a pattern similar to the Western magic array. Unlike the common magic array, there are some religious symbols drawn between the arrogant lines of the magic array. Whenever there are interlaced, a piece of yellow paper is pressed with stones, which are probably some talismans.

In the middle of the magic circle, there was a rectangular box of half a meter in size. The lid was thrown aside. From Mo Chen's angle, it could be seen that it was empty and nothing. The walls around the cave were accompanied by each wall, and there was a red flag in all directions. On the velvet flag, there were golden lines and strange patterns embroidered with strange aura.

Mo Chen frowned, his face particularly dark. Although he didn't know much about these strange techniques, he had a premonition that the magic circle seemed a bit evil. He asked, "What are these... what are they for?"

Zheng Yi rubbed his chin and snorted coldly, "Hmph! What can you do? It's not a shameful thing."
