After leaving Huishan, Haijing and Feng Xiangyue set up horses in a nearby city and rushed to Fengyezhuang.Fearing that the tattoo would be too ostentatious, Feng Xiangyue tied a piece of white satin to his forehead to cover it up.

After six days of running around, the two finally arrived at Feng Ye Zhuang, and Hai Jing's injury had completely healed.

The gate of Fengyezhuang was burned to pieces in the fire, and the houses in the courtyard were all charred and black, with only collapsed ruins remaining in several places.Because this house was built outside the city, its location was remote, and it was severely damaged, so no one moved in again.

Standing in front of the gate of Fengyezhuang, Hai Jing looked at the whole house with his hands in his arms, "Xue Xin really deserved to be the richest man in martial arts back then. Hailanzhuang can only be used as a backyard envoy in front of Fengyezhuang."

"What about the richest man? At least Hailan Village still exists, but there are only ruins here." Feng Xiangyue glanced at him, then walked quickly into the courtyard, leaving a series of footprints on the snow.

Seeing him walking in first, Hai Jing hurriedly followed.The two passed through houses that were about to collapse, and walked through corridors that were burnt black. During this time, Hai Jing carefully groped every wall and every floor.

Seeing this, Feng Xiangyue asked, "Do you think there is a dark room in this village?"

"Of course, and there is definitely more than one dark room. In fact, even Hai Lan Villa has several hidden rooms. I'll take you around later." Hai Jing replied casually.

Feng Xiangyue was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but smile, "This is the secret of Hai Lan Zhuang, did you tell me so easily?"

Hai Jing looked at him sideways, "What does it matter, you will also be from Hailan Village in the future, I just let you know in advance."

"Wait a minute...why am I from Hailanzhuang?" Feng Xiangyue was groping the wall with his hands, and he couldn't help but pause when he heard these words.

Hai Jing came to him in a few steps, pressed his shoulders, and said with a smile: "It's not easy? I will definitely find a way to return to Hailan Villa. At that time, the first thing to do is to put the You marry back..."

Before he finished speaking, Feng Xiangyue's fist had already swung over, "Marry you! Stop talking nonsense to me!"

Feeling the wind of the fist blowing towards him, Hai Jing hurriedly grabbed his hand and took a wrong step to dodge.But it didn't matter that Feng Xiangyue was pulled unsteadily by him, so she threw herself forward, pressing down on him and falling towards the wall.

Hai Jing suddenly bumped into the wall behind him, only to hear a "creak", and a gap was cracked on the stained wall.The two of them fell down and fell to the ground with a bang, and the secret door was completely opened.

Hai Jing lay on his back, his eyes shifted from the cobweb-strewn corner of the wall above to Feng Xiangyue who was pressing him down, and he gritted his teeth, "It hurts..."

Feng Xiangyue immediately jumped up from him, "Are you okay? Does it hurt?"

"It's okay, I can let you fall into my arms, no matter how painful it is, it's worth it." Hai Jing rubbed the back of his head and got up, smiling.

Hearing this, Feng Xiangyue couldn't help but cast him a blank stare.But seeing that he could still tease herself, Feng Xiangyue felt at ease immediately, and focused on the secret room.

The two looked around, and saw several rows of mahogany bookcases at equal distances in the room, with papers and books piled up messily on them, and each compartment was covered with thick dust, as if no one had been there for a long time.

It was quite dark in the dark room, and it was impossible to see clearly only by the sunlight penetrating through the door.Hai Jing had no choice but to take out the fire pocket, light it up and search around.

Feng Xiangyue also lit the torch and went to another place to search.As soon as his hand touched the cabinet, the dust flew up like a curtain, making him cough a few times.

He raised his hand and slapped it in front of his eyes. When he retracted his hand, his elbow suddenly touched the bookcase behind him. He heard the "bang" of the cabinet, and then something fell to the ground with a "slap".

Hearing the voice, Hai Jing came over immediately, "What's wrong?"

Feng Xiangyue leaned over and saw a small wooden sign lying on the ground.The wooden sign was about three inches long and less than one inch wide, with leaf-like patterns carved on it, and a few wavy patterns like water flowing underneath.

Feng Xiangyue picked it up, turned it over and looked, "What brand is this? There are patterns engraved on it."

Hai Jing took the wooden sign and looked at it carefully, "This sign is made of nanmu, and there are many small scratches on it, it should be some years old."

"However, if this is something very important to the Xue family, how could it be left here at will?" Feng Xiangyue wondered.

"Although it cannot be confirmed that it is an important item, it cannot be said that it is completely worthless. Anyway, let's put it away first." Hai Jing said, and handed the wooden sign back to Feng Xiangyue.

Feng Xiangyue put the wooden sign in his arms, and was about to follow Hai Jing to continue searching in the house, but the secret door was slammed shut.

Hai Jing was startled, and handed the Huozhezi to Feng Xiangyue, stepped forward quickly, and pulled the door hard, but the Shimen didn't move at all.Seeing this, Feng Xiangyue came over and set up two torches on the ground, and worked together with him. After tossing for a long time, there was still not a single crack in the door.

Feng Xiangyue couldn't help but slammed the door hard, "This door must have been closed deliberately, who is outside!"

Hai Jing stroked his chin and murmured, "Why did that man lock us up? Is there something in this house that no one can discover?"

"Maybe we have already discovered that thing." Feng Xiangyue raised the wooden sign that Yang just picked up, "Since there is a pattern on this sign, you can ask Xun Qianliu, maybe he knows the meaning."

Hai Jing nodded, "Well, we will go back to Nether Valley immediately after we leave here."

After that, he picked up the fire pockets, extinguished one of them, and handed it to Feng Xiangyue, "There is no light here, let's not waste the fire pockets, use one first."

Afterwards, Hai Jing lifted the Huozhe up, and in the dim light, cracked walls and mottled spider webs passed before his eyes one by one.Seeing that no other exit could be found, the two simply wandered around the room to search for other clues.

Suddenly, Hai Jing stopped and put his ear against the wall opposite the door, as if he heard something.

Feng Xiangyue cast a questioning look at him, Hai Jing immediately put his finger on his lips, made a silent gesture, and listened seriously.

After a while, he stood up and pointed to the wall, "There is the sound of water on the other side of the wall."

"Sound of water? But there is no river nearby." After hearing this, Feng Xiangyue's expression was even more puzzled than before.

"This is the strange place..." Hai Jing looked up at the wall, and was about to say something when the hidden door suddenly made a loud noise.

Hai Jing and Feng Xiangyue were startled, and hurriedly turned their heads to look, only to see that the stone door was being slowly opened.Wisps of sunlight poured in along the opening gap, and a figure gradually emerged from the shadows.

After seeing his face clearly, Hai Jing couldn't help being surprised, "Fu Xiang?"

Fu Xiang still smiled innocently, and walked in with big eyes blinking, "I saw a lock outside this door, so I wanted to pry it open to have a look, so there are people inside."

"Give me the lock!" Feng Xiangyue spread her hands in front of Fu Xiang and said bluntly.

Fu Xiang was taken aback by his attitude, Hai Jing hurriedly pulled Feng Xiangyue, and dealt with Xiang gently: "We were locked in this room just now, but we didn't see the prisoner, so I want to see if the prisoner is locked. Are there any clues?"

Hearing this, Fu Xiang's face softened a little, and he handed the lock to Hai Jing.Hai Jing took it over for a closer look, but didn't find anything special, so he looked at Fu Xiang kindly, "Why are you here?"

"Guangzhu Lu felt that the brothers and sisters of the Xue family died strangely, so he sent me out to investigate. I just wanted to come here to take a look." Fu Xiang rubbed his head, "Are you also here to investigate?"

"That's right, did you find anything?" Hai Jing said.

Fu Xiang frowned, "I've searched all over the house, but I haven't seen anything special."

"Then did you see the person who locked the door?" Feng Xiangyue took the lock out of Hai Jing's hand, and shook it in his hand.

Fu Xiang shook her head, "No, I thought this room was locked."

As he said that, he led the two of them straight outside, sighing annoyedly, "I thought there would be some clues here, but I still didn't find anything... You two, come back to the Magic Dragon Gang with me. Thinking about your safety."

Hai Jing thought for a while, if he wanted to go back to Nether Valley, he had to go through Panlong City, so he agreed.Seeing this, Feng Xiangyue didn't say much, and followed Hai Jing out.

The three of them came to the city near Fengyezhuang, bought a boat, and headed for Panlong City.Due to the downstream direction to Panlong City, and Fu Xiang's skillful boating skills, the three of them could arrive in the city the next day.

As night falls, the Bright Galaxy is like a silver dragon, entrenched in the sky.There are layers of mist floating on the surface of the river, like a veil of light gauze, against which the sound of waterfowl sings, making it far and quiet.

Hai Jing stood on the bow of the boat, let the wind blow him from head to toe, and his eyes fell on the distant sky.After a while, he seemed to think of something, and suddenly said: "Xiangyue, after we go to Nether Valley, how about going to Yueqing Inn?"

"Why?" Feng Xiangyue, who was sitting cross-legged on the side, glanced at him upon hearing this.

"Do you still remember the girl I took to the inn? At the beginning we agreed that she was not an ordinary girl. I was a little concerned about this and wanted to see how she is now."

Feng Xiangyue thought of the girl, and felt a lot of doubts, "Okay, after leaving Nether Valley, we will go to the inn."

Fu Xiang shook the oar, listened to their conversation, looked at the two with a puzzled look, and turned to the water again.He has maintained this state since he got on the boat, without any pause or slack, as if he would not feel tired.

Seeing this, Hai Jing walked over and patted him, "Give me the paddle, and you go to the cabin to rest."

Fu Xiang immediately shook her head and said with a smile: "No need, I'm in good spirits!"

Hearing his refusal, Hai Jing couldn't help but grab the oars, and raised his chin towards the cabin, "Don't do this, go in quickly."

Fu Xiang's expression was a bit complicated for a moment, "...I didn't expect you to be so considerate of me."

Hai Jing was puzzled, so Fu Xiang waved his hand and said with a smile, "I don't have any other intentions, so don't think too much about it."

As he spoke, he took a few steps forward, and when he opened the coarse cloth curtain hanging in the cabin, he looked back at Hai Jing again, "Then I'm going to rest."

Hai Jing nodded with a smile, took the oar and swiped it up and down, creating waves of water.
