Chapter 2398: Not moving at all

It was inconvenient to take the child with him that night, so Lin Ye chose to go back first.

Early the next morning, he handed the child to Cui Muchang and Ye Mengyao, planning to take a look at the well during the day.

He went out with An Jiuxiao. As soon as he stepped out of the inn door, he met Ming. He was standing across the street greeting Lin Ye. It seemed that he had just woken up.

Lin Ye and An Jiuxiao both waved to him subconsciously and smiled slightly.

However, as soon as he finished laughing, Lin Ye's expression suddenly stiffened.

He suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked across the street, staring closely behind Ming. This sight made Ming stunned. His head was frozen on his neck, and he didn't dare to move.

"Lin, Brother Lin, I, I, I...what's behind me?"

An Jiuxiao walked over and pulled Ming to his side. He knew that Lin Ye must have discovered something, but it definitely had nothing to do with Ming: "Don't worry, you won't see ghosts in broad daylight."

After pulling Ming away, he asked Lin Ye: "Brother Lin, what did you find?"

From the moment Lin Ye's eyes fixed, he followed Lin Ye's gaze and observed carefully, but he didn't see anything unusual.

Lin Ye looked very serious and still stared behind them.

"Have you noticed any difference between the houses opposite today and yesterday?"

"no the same?"

An Jiuxiao and Ming hurriedly walked to him and looked at the street market opposite from his perspective.

Ming scratched his head and looked confused: "Is there any difference? Why can't I see anything?"

"Ashamed, actually I don't see any difference..." An Jiuxiao said seriously, touching his chin.

The two of them couldn't see it, but Lin Ye knew it clearly.

Yesterday, when he was sitting in front of the inn thinking about a problem, he kept staring across the street.

Although there were no markers, he could clearly see that the position of the houses opposite was different from yesterday, as if they had collectively moved a few points to the right.

However, this difference is very subtle, and the houses opposite are almost identical, so most people cannot notice it at all.

It's probably... related to the moving sounds coming in the middle of the night.

He asked An Jiuxiao and Ming, but neither of them heard the sound.

They may have heard it, but the sound of movement was too subtle and too common, so they didn't pay attention.

Lin Ye didn't think this was normal, so he simply called Ye Mengyao and others together to share his views and the huge dry well in the square.

Ye Mengyao came up with an idea: "Brother Lin, if you hear it two nights in a row, maybe it will appear again tonight. As for whether the house opposite has been moved, we can do this..."

On that day, Ye Mengyao used her long sword to make a slash from A Ying's store to the door of the house across the street.

The sword marks are very thin, and you can definitely see any slight movement.

To be on the safe side, An Jiuxiao also drew a line, two parallel lines, to ensure that no mistakes would occur.

Lin Ye and An Jiuxiao decided to explore the dry well tonight to see what secrets were hidden under the huge stone slab.

As night fell, Lin Ye and An Jiuxiao didn't sleep this time. They sat in the same room, waiting for the sound of movement to appear.

Xiaopingan was handed over to Ye Mengyao and Cui Muchang tonight. When the sound of movement appeared again, the two of them set off immediately.

Sure enough, just as Lin Ye said, when the time of beauty has passed and the time of ugliness has just arrived, that familiar voice comes - "Click"!

This time, even An Jiuxiao suddenly raised his head and looked towards Lin Ye.

The two of them stood up and jumped out of the window without saying anything.

The two of them went to check the sword marks made during the day. Lin Ye checked the sword marks left by Ye Mengyao. As expected, the lines moved very slightly.

Fortunately, the sword mark was thin enough, almost the same as a hair, otherwise it would be hard to tell how much it had moved.

Soon An Jiuxiao also gave him a reply. The situation was consistent with his situation. The sword marks had moved to a certain extent, and one line was out of alignment.

"It seems like this moving sound is actually the earth's crust moving?"

An Jiuxiao was a little surprised: "But there should be people living in these houses. Don't they feel it at all? And we didn't see any cracks on the ground?"

No matter how tight it is, at least there will be a line on the ground, but they observed carefully for a long time, but they didn't find any clues.

Lin Ye frowned and thought: "Maybe it's not the ground that's moved, but the houses."

"This is the only possibility now." An Jiuxiao agreed.

"Let's go and take a look at the dry well first."

Lin Ye took An Jiuxiao to the square with him. Regarding the moving of houses, he planned to leave sword marks in different blocks after dawn tomorrow to see which houses were moved.

Master said before that Blackstone City itself is a huge formation. It is not built on top of the formation, but the city itself is built into a large formation.

In this way, the movement of these houses is most likely due to the operation of the formation.

He wanted to see what the rules of operation of this formation were, and maybe he could see from it what the ultimate purpose of the formation was.

The two came to the square. It was still the waning moon today, and the stone slab was lying quietly on the well mouth, without any trace of being moved.

Lin Ye and An Jiuxiao teamed up to lift the stone slab from the wellhead.

But when the two of them exerted their strength, the manhole cover remained motionless!

"It's strange. With the two of us working together, this manhole cover shouldn't move. There are no restrictions or formations on it!"

An Jiuxiao was stunned. He didn't expect that an ordinary stone slab without any prohibitive formation could make him and Lin Ye unable to lift it together.

Two monks in the Kongjing stage, even if they are not in physical cultivation, are more than a hundred times stronger than ordinary people. How could they not move at all?

But this stone slab was so disrespectful. Even though both of them tried their best, and An Jiuxiao blushed so hard, it just didn't move.

"Try to see if you can pry open the gap."

Lin Ye thought of inserting a sword into the gap between the manhole cover and the wellhead, but the manhole cover looked like it was growing out of the wellhead. Not to mention the sword, not even a hair could be inserted into it.

"Did I make a mistake in my judgment?"

Lin Ye began to doubt his own thoughts. Is there really nothing special about this manhole cover, just heavy?

But it’s wrong to even think about it. What kind of material must it be made of so that even two monks in the Kongjing stage can’t lift it?

And does an ordinary dry well need to be covered with such a special manhole cover?

Lin Ye always felt that something was wrong, but for a long time he couldn't think of a reason.

Is that all there is to it?
