The two returned to the backyard and walked around the dry well several times.
The wellhead is very wide, about half a foot in diameter.
It was extremely deep. Zhang Xiaozu looked down and could not see the bottom at a glance. You must know that his subtle state of mind could cover a distance of two hundred steps, which means that this well is at least more than two hundred steps deep.
"Why is this well so deep?" Zhang Xiaozu asked with a frown.
"Is this what you mean by what is wrong?" Wan Qiuqing couldn't help but feel dumbfounded when he heard this. No wonder he walked around the dry well several times and found nothing wrong. It turned out that what Zhang Xiaozu said was wrong, so he laughed.
Explained to Zhang Xiaozu: "Yancheng is located on the Nanling Mountains, and the groundwater is extremely deep from the ground, so every well in Yancheng is wide and deep. Especially in the Central City at the top of the Nanling Mountains, the wells
It is particularly wide and deep. If you want to dig such a well, you have to use at least ten cultivators who are proficient in the realm of earth, and it will take half a year to a year to complete. So having a well at home is a very high status in Yancheng.
A status symbol."
"No wonder I can't see the bottom at a glance." Zhang Xiaozu suddenly understood. After speaking, he pointed to the well rope and rocker and said: "This well must have been dry for a long time, but if you look at the well rope and rocker, there is no
The fact that they haven't accumulated a lot of dust means they haven't stopped working."
Wan Qiuqing frowned slightly and said: "It may be that the servants at home are looking forward to a miracle, so they shake the bucket down every few days to see if there is water. Just like I have done every morning before opening my eyes for the past six months.
, I look forward to seeing heavy rain pouring outside when I open the window. Sometimes I also want to take a bucket to see if there is water in the well."
"I don't think so." Zhang Xiaozu shook his head and said, "Only those who have had enough to eat and have nothing to do will have the leisure to do this. It is not easy for the servants to have enough food and water to drink, so how can they waste their energy shaking the well."
"Are you going around the corner and scolding me for being too full?" Wan Qiuqing asked, twitching her eyes.
"You are overthinking it. I wouldn't dare even if you gave me ten more courages!" Zhang Xiaozu said hurriedly with a smile on his face.
"Then what do you think is going on?" Wan Qiuqing looked at the bottom of the dark well. In fact, Zhang Xiaozu's analysis had already triggered suspicion in her heart, and she was just talking about some possibilities.
"I think there is something fishy at the bottom of the well." Zhang Xiaozhu said bluntly.
"You mean there's a secret room hidden in the well?"
"Maybe." Zhang Xiaozu nodded.
"We'll find out when we go down," Wan Qiuqing said. With a thought, the wind elements gathered at the feet of her and Zhang Xiaozu, dragging their bodies over the edge of the well and falling into the well along the wide mouth of the well.
With the depth of the fall, the light in the well became darker and darker, and finally it was completely dark. However, a group of flames suddenly shot up out of thin air, illuminating the darkness.
Dark. Of course, for Zhang Xiaozu, it doesn't matter whether there is flame illumination or not. Covered by the subtle state of mind, he can see the scenery in the well clearly.
"Madam, may I ask you a question?" Zhang Xiaozhu suddenly broke the silence.
"explain."
"How many elemental realms do you understand and control?"
"Seven types or eight types, I forgot."
"" Zhang Xiaopou opened his mouth in surprise, thinking to himself, no wonder it was so powerful. With one strike of his sword, seven or eight kinds of power from the elemental domain suddenly exploded. Who can withstand this?
Seeing Zhang Xiaozu's greedy look, Wan Qiuqing smiled and said: "Everyone has his own strengths, there is nothing to envy. I ask you, if it can be exchanged, are you willing to trade your subtle state of mind for my seven or eight elemental fields?
?"
"Don't change!" Zhang Xiaozu shook his head without thinking. Suddenly his eyes lit up, he raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "I found it."
"Where?" Wan Qiuqing asked.
"About twenty steps down, there is a brick behind you. It should be movable." Zhang Xiaozu said.
Wan Qiuqing followed the instructions and fell twenty steps down. He turned around and faced the wall of the well. He looked around carefully and searched, but he did not find the bricks that Zhang Xiaozu said could be moved. Because each brick was attached to the dry bricks.
The thick moss makes it hard to see any difference.
Just listen to Zhang Xiaozu say: "It's the piece on your right, yes, that's the piece."
"How did you know there was something wrong with this brick?" Wan Qiuqing found the brick in question that Zhang Xiaozu mentioned, stared at it carefully for a while, but still didn't find any problem, so he couldn't help but ask curiously.
"There is a handprint in the moss. Someone should have pressed it on it a long, long time ago." Zhang Xiaozu replied.
"Can you see this?" Wan Qiuqing said speechlessly.
"There are gaps in the moss, and my subtle state of mind can see through them."
"No wonder the famous thieves from ancient times are all guys with a subtle state of mind, because in a subtle state of mind, nothing can be hidden in traps, secret rooms, etc." Wan Qiuqing said, while pressing his hand on the mossy stone bricks
Go up and press it down slowly and hard. As expected, the stone bricks sank in, about five inches deep. Suddenly, a click was heard in the stone wall, as if some mechanism had been touched, and then the stone wall in front of Wan Qiuqing began to rotate.
, making a grinding sound.
Wan Qiuqing took a step back, holding the blue and white sword in front of him to prevent danger from coming behind the stone wall.
Under the vigilant gaze of the two men, the stone wall cracked open, revealing a square, dark hole less than half a foot long and wide, which could only accommodate one person squatting or crawling.
"There is someone inside!" Zhang Xiaozhu's expression suddenly became serious and he said in a voice that only Wan Qiuqing could hear.
His subtle state of mind extended along the narrow passage and saw a stone chamber. The stone chamber was illuminated with night pearls. The tall bookshelves in the stone chamber and the alcoves on the surrounding walls were filled with books and information.
On one side of the stone room, sitting beside a strip-shaped table, were more than a dozen pale-skinned and skinny people. They were reading books and sometimes writing and drawing.
Zhang Xiaozhu didn't know much about literacy and didn't know what they wrote, but he was sure that these people didn't write anything good because they were all big-toothed people with golden eyes and blue eyes.
"Who?" Wan Qiuqing asked.
"Big Ya man." Zhang Xiaozu responded in a cold voice.
"how many?"
"There are fifteen people that can be seen. The space inside is very large. I can't see the end. I wonder if there are anyone else. The room is full of bookshelves. They are sitting at the table, reading books, writing and drawing." Zhang Xiaozuo
Narrated.
When Wan Qiuqing heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't hide his excitement and said: "It seems that the Xue family is their general stronghold in Yancheng. Soldier, you have made a great contribution!"
"Be careful, someone is coming out!" Zhang Xiaozu said anxiously, "He probably heard the sound of the secret door opening and came out to investigate the situation. However, this person didn't seem nervous at all. He probably thought it was one of their own who opened the secret door.
."
"They have been hiding in Yancheng for more than 20 years, and they have never had any accidents. As time goes by, they naturally relax their vigilance." Wan Qiuqing said, and then under Zhang Xiaozu's surprised gaze, his eyes slowly turned into golden blue eyes.
Zhang Xiaozu was stunned for a moment before he understood her intention. He wanted to imitate Wan Qiuqing and change his appearance, but Wan Qiuqing manipulated the power of the wind to push him to the side of the stone door and hide him.
"The door to the abyss of hell has finally opened from the outside. Has the end of Dayu finally arrived?" An extremely hoarse and excited voice suddenly sounded in the dark corridor.
Wan Qiuqing and Zhang Xiaozu looked at each other without responding. From what he said, it seemed that they had an agreement with the people outside. When the secret door was opened from the outside, they would be in trouble for Dayu.
"Lao Du, is that you?" The voice in the corridor revealed suspicion when no one answered outside.
"Uncle Master, it's me." Wan Qiuqing suddenly spoke and shouted crisply. She couldn't help but feel proud of her quick and witty move. She turned to look at Zhang Xiaopou, wanting to appreciate his expression of praise and admiration, but she saw
Zhang Xiaozu's eyes were as wide as an ox's, and his mouth was wide open, as if he had seen an extremely shocking scene.
Zhang Xiaozu did indeed see an extremely shocking scene. He saw a man in the stone room carrying tea entering the coverage area of his subtle state of mind. He had seen this man's appearance in the City Lord's Mansion. He was Qi Yoyo's eldest brother.
