"Okay, my complaints are almost done," Third Young Master Mo breathed a sigh of relief, he pretended to be relaxed and smiled, and said to the two of them, "Passing through this door is the dark room leading to the puppet room." The door was closed, and if...someone opened it later, we should be able to get there directly."

The meaning of Mo Bin's words is very obvious. He said that the gate leading to Yanshi Pavilion in this secret passage has been sealed by him. "The famous Second Young Master Mo, who can complete this matter?The third young master Mo already had the answer in his heart, but when he saw the trap door he made back then, he still refused to admit that his second brother, who died young for many years, was still alive, and even killed his father. murderer.

The secret passage is long and extremely low and difficult to walk through. Two teenagers can probably pass through this secret passage quickly, but compared to three adult men, it is still too narrow.Especially Tao Mo, the deeper he went, the more he had to bend down so as not to hit his head.Compared with the previous secret passage paved with stone bricks, this secret passage is rougher. On the ground of the secret passage not paved with stone bricks, a small path was stepped on. Bai Wangyan frowned. Stained by the dust, he lowered his body and stretched out his hands to wipe the dirt on the ground, and twisted it carefully with his hands. Suddenly, he seemed to have found something on the ground suddenly, and stretched out his hand to brush the dirt away, revealing the reflections underneath. Fragments come out by the light of the candle.

It was a piece of iron the size of a fingertip. Seeing Bai Wangyan's appearance, Mo Bin wanted to ask something, but when he saw the iron piece, he suddenly called out softly with an "ah": "Meteor!" Iron sheets!"

Bai Wangyan took out the silk handkerchief, carefully pinched the piece of iron, there were still some indistinct patterns on it, he winked at Mo Bin.Mo Bin understood, nodded, and spread the handkerchief in his arms, revealing another piece of iron inside.This piece of iron was found from the hair of the merman puppet before. When the two compared the pieces together, they found that the pattern on it matched somewhat, and it should have been peeled off from the same object.

"What the hell is this?" Bai Wangyan pinched the small piece of iron with a handkerchief, lost in thought.

"Hmm... Meteorite is usually used to make magical weapons." Mo Bin was also a little puzzled, he thought about these two small pieces of iron, and guessed: "Could it be a sword? "

Tao Mo also came over to look at the two iron plates, shook his head and said, "No."

Since people who are good at using swords say so, Mo Bin immediately gave up the guess about swords, and he sighed: "There are only two small pieces, and it is difficult to tell what belongs to them. I can only say , the material of these two fragments is indeed meteorite, but it is hard to say about the others.”

"What I'm more concerned about is its location," Bai Wangyan pointed to the pattern on it, "The patterns have the same vein, so they should belong to the same object, but the one is on your merman puppet's hair, but this one is on the hair of your merman puppet." Here, this connection..." He rubbed his chin, "Where was your puppet stored before? Or, could it be that under the water of the lake..."

"Yes, it's Tiange," Mo Bin replied affirmatively, "I used the mechanism of Yanshi Pavilion to transport the merman puppet out of Renge, and controlled it to swim over from the lake next to Xianhu Courtyard - Xianhu Courtyard is assigned All the places where puppets were transported from Renge to Tiange, although the Xianhu Courtyard is hidden in the bamboo forest, the location of the Tiange is indeed under the lake, but the lake extends towards the bamboo forest, which is the same as the one we first saw All the lakes belong to the same place.”

Hearing Mo Bin's explanation, Bai Wangyan remained silent. He seemed to have found the source of the two fragments, but it was difficult to confirm, so he couldn't speak for a while.

"What's the matter? I heard there is something in your words," Mo Bin asked, "Do you think this thing... has something to do with my puppets?"

"But it only stays on 'relationship'..." Bai Wangyan sighed, he returned the meteorite piece to Mo Bin, and put the other piece away, "Go on, I always feel like Forgot about any particularly important thing, maybe you can find out when you get to Tiange."

"Okay." Mo Bin nodded.

The three of them passed through this long secret passage. During this period, Bai Wangyan kept staring at the ground he stepped on, trying to find traces of those iron pieces, but unfortunately, after removing the piece just now, there was no gain.The further he walked, the worse Mo Bin's expression became. He was still trying to put on a casual attitude before, but now, all his expressions seemed to be exhausted.The tragic death of his father had hit him like a boulder. He still had a glimmer of hope, hoping that this secret passage would not lead through. He could tell the other two that this place cannot lead to Yanshi Pavilion, Mo Yang It wasn't what Bai Wangyan and himself suspected, but the further he walked, the heavier his heart became.Judging from the dirt road caused by walking back and forth before, it must be that people often shuttle here and there, so the ground is like this, and when Bai Wangyan stretched out his hand to shake the dirt, he also saw that there was no accumulated dirt on it. Ash.Everything pointed to Mo Yang, who had passed away long ago. Mo Bin bit his lip secretly. He only had one wish now, and he hoped that the road ahead would be a dead end, impassable.

But things turned out to be contrary to expectations, when the three of them reached the end of the corridor, a small narrow door suddenly appeared. Mo Bin took a deep breath, touched the secret door lightly with his hand, and finally gritted his teeth and pushed it open. Turning around, the ground where the three of them were standing turned upside down, and the unprepared Bai Wangyan almost fell to the marble floor, but in such an instant, the white-clothed scholar was hugged by the black-clothed swordsman who landed just in time , so that it didn't fall so badly.

"Thank you Shaoxia Tao." Bai Wangyan stood firm, unhurriedly withdrew from Tao Mo's hands, and thanked him politely.And Tao Mo obviously didn't say anything, he set his eyes on the place where the three of them were, and looked around.

It is still a long and deep corridor, with expressionless puppets standing neatly on both sides, those pair of expressionless glazed eyes seem to be watching the three people who suddenly appeared in front of the gate of the Tiange, candles on both sides The fire swayed, reflecting on the pale faces of the puppets.And behind the three of them was the gate of the Tiange, which reached to the roof.

"Is this door leading to the entrance of the Tian Pavilion?" Bai Wangyan asked in surprise, "Ziwen, when you said that you can enter the Yanshi Pavilion, you actually entered the Tian Pavilion directly?"

"That's not the case," Third Young Master Mo was still observing the secret door when they came. At this time, the secret door has been integrated with the surrounding walls, and there is no door here at all, and Mo Bin is on this wall He groped carefully, as if he was looking for some mechanism, he sighed, and replied: "Although the secret road we built before led to the Yanshi Pavilion, it was only able to enter other places other than the Three Pavilions of Heaven, Earth and Man. Locked rooms, these three rooms can only be entered with the key of the secret room, they should have been changed, but I think there may be something wrong with our touch mechanism, this passage seems to lead directly into the heavenly pavilion, but this mechanism... ..." Mo Bin frowned and remained silent, and continued to observe the secret door again.

The lights flickered, and Tao Mo looked around, suddenly feeling a little strange.He vaguely remembered that when he entered the Tiange by mistake for the first time, the candles around him were the same as now, they were all of this kind...

The flickering and elongated candlelight illuminated the entire corridor, and the next moment, all the puppets looked at him.It was still the same pair of pupils with the light of the candlelight, the puppets walked down from where they were standing, and walked towards him step by step. At this moment, the tall and thin figure who had fallen in the pool of blood Standing up unsteadily like a distorted monster, he pulled out the sword stabbed in his chest.

"Tao Mo, you can't escape!" The man opened his mouth and laughed shrilly, his white teeth blurred by blood and flesh like some kind of wild beast.

Suddenly pulling out/drawing/out the long sword from his waist, Tao Mo calmly looked at the man in front of him, he knew very well that this was another illusion.The person in front of him had already been stabbed to death by his sword, and what was left was nothing but the nightmare hidden deep in his heart.

At this moment, the pitch-black nightmare swung the sharp sword in his hand like this, and rushed towards him screaming. Tao Mo turned slightly to avoid the random sword, but he never thought that the sword was actually With a false move, the opponent shook his hand, and the sword pierced directly into his shoulder.A burst of severe pain hit Tao Mo with a muffled snort, and abruptly pulled the sword out from his shoulder. At the same time, he raised the long sword in his hand, and it was about to pierce the man's body. .

"Brother Tao! Don't!" Suddenly there was an exclamation in his ear, and the sword in Tao Mo's hand suddenly eased down. He looked at Mo Bin beside him with some doubts, and at this moment, he saw the sword standing in front of him. The person who caught it was Bai Wangyan.

The sharp point of the sword was about to stab into his chest, and the white-clothed scholar who knew nothing about martial arts had a slight panic on his face, and he just stood in front of Tao Mo in a daze.At this time, Third Young Master Mo was panicked. He had just rushed over from the wall, holding a bag of unknown things in his hand, probably just when he was going to fetch the thing, he turned his head and saw Tao Mo about to stab him to death with a sword. Bai Wangyan.

Tao Mo hastily put the sword back into its sheath. At this moment, he didn't even dare to look directly into Bai Wangyan's eyes: "Yes, I'm sorry..." He couldn't figure out why the scholar in white would be pointed at by him with the sword. Can make people kill each other?

Bai Wangyan was obviously also frightened, so he struggled out of the fright, calmed his breath, and waved at Tao Mo: "It's okay, you have been affected by the 'Mirage'." After speaking, he turned to Tao Mo. Mo Bin, who rushed over quickly, asked, "Did you find it?"

Mo Bin glanced at Tao Mo, and then breathed a sigh of relief. He stretched out his hand and shook Tao Mo's eyes: "How is it, do you still have hallucinations in front of you now?"

Tao Mo shook his head, but still didn't dare to meet Bai Wangyan's gaze.Bai Wangyan also knew that he was in a tight embarrassment right now, so he took a closer look at what Mo Bin had brought, and nodded: "Yes, this is 'Mirage', it was taken from the candlestick by the wall, right? .”

"Yes," Mo Bin spread out the package, and Tao Mo saw that there was some black powder inside, but it didn't emit any smell. Seeing Tao Mo's face full of doubts, Third Young Master Mo explained, "This thing It is a kind of mist. It is said that it is made from the mist of the dragon's breath. It is colorless and odorless. When mixed with candles, it can make people who smell it hallucinate. Brother Tao, you have been deceived by it both times. Like this, I just forgot, I don't understand why we are still being recruited now..."

"It's probably been targeted by someone." At this time, Bai Wangyan recovered from the panic just now, he shook his fan seemingly casually, and looked around, "This thing has been ignited again. It means that the few of us can no longer escape."

Bai Wangyan turned around, looked at Tao Mo solemnly, and cupped his hands: "The lives of Ziwen and I will be entrusted to Tao Shaoxia."
