A gentleman is not a group

It is very unlikely to want to go out immediately, one can only settle in as soon as it comes, and build a secret room in the house, if there is no secret hidden in it, it is almost impossible.

There must be some story behind the Rin Gang, a gangster.

There are smooth stone walls on both sides of the secret path, and a candlestick is placed every few steps. Zhou Chi lights up the candlesticks as he walks in. The shining light instantly illuminates the entire secret path, and the road ahead can be seen at a glance, but the end cannot be seen.

This secret passage is very deep, and no one knows where it will lead.

In this case, it is undoubtedly risky to continue to move forward, not to mention that the end of the secret passage may be a place where it is difficult to escape, but the secret passage itself must be equipped with traps.

But Zhou Chi had a firm thought in his heart, if he didn't move forward, he would definitely miss something, something very important to him.

Zhou Chi was worried about Xie Jianmian, turned his head and asked, "Do you think we should continue walking?"

"What do you think?" There was something brighter in Xie Jianmian's eyes than usual, he fixedly looked at Zhou Chi, and asked, "Do you want to continue?"

Xie Jianmian's words were to let him follow his heart, Zhou Chi understood, and then smiled soothingly, without any worries, he walked forward firmly and cautiously.

The secret road is very long, and I don't know where the end is. The candlelight on both sides is strong enough to illuminate the way.

But not enough to see the details clearly, especially in such a strange and murderous place, which is the most potential danger.

Zhou Chi walked carefully, for fear that if he didn't take the right step to trigger some mechanism, he would really die unjustly.

Xie Jianmian stood side by side with him, looking around while walking, after a few steps, he saw a ring-shaped jade stone inlaid on the right stone wall, as if thinking of something, he began to think about that simple jade stone.

Seeing that he hadn't moved for a long time, Zhou Chi asked, "What's the matter?"

Xie Jianmian rubbed his chin, hesitated to speak: "I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel that the layout of this secret passage is very familiar."

"Have you seen it before?"

Thinking of the Seven Star Formation in the Willow Forest, Xie Jianmian could easily decipher it, and now he feels familiar in this secret passage, the connection is not like a coincidence.

But Xie Jianmian didn't know about the Rin Gang, and Liuyun Villa didn't seem to have any friendship with a gangster with a bad reputation.

Xie Jianmian drew the shape of the jade from the air, and continued this action for a long time, sinking into some kind of thinking.After a while, he suddenly turned around and strode forward.

"Amian..."

Zhou Chi saw Xie Jianmian stop about ten steps ahead, rubbing for a while on the left side of the stone wall facing this jade, and found another jade that was exactly the same.

Zhou Chi walked over and looked at Xie Jianmian suspiciously.

Xie Jianmian pointed to the jade stone and said, "I said just now that this secret path looks familiar, and this jade stone confirms my guess. I have indeed seen this kind of mechanism, and it happens to be in the same book as the Seven Star Formation."

"The same book?"

Xie Jianmian nodded, with a surprised expression on his face: "I thought the Seven Star Formation was just a coincidence, but with this secret path, the coincidence is not enough to explain it."

"It's no good to think about it too much. We will find out the situation when we go out." Zhou Chi looked at the green jade in front of him and asked, "Now I'm even more curious about how this mechanism is triggered? Can't you touch it?"

"of course can."

As soon as Xie Jianmian finished speaking, he reached out and took out the lightly inlaid jade, and handed it to Zhou Chi: "Here, see you off."

Zhou Chi: "Didn't you say there is an agency?"

"Indeed." Xie Jianmian stuffed the jade into Zhou Chi's arms and said with a smile, "But it's no different from not having it now."

He pulled Zhou Chi to the first jade, and led his hand to take out that jade too: "Look, nothing happened."

Zhou Chi played with the jade in his hand in surprise, doubting his eyes and ears.

"Is this thing just a decoration?"

"Of course not." Xie Jianmian explained, "Actually, these two jade stones are integrated, and a single one cannot trigger the mechanism. Think about it, if someone, like us, enters the secret passage from the room just now, and sees the inlaid Looking at the excellent jade, what is his reaction?"

Zhou Chi pondered: "Is the test a mechanism?"

"Yes. He will definitely try first, but if there is only this one, nothing will happen. At this time, he will relax his vigilance, thinking that this thing is at best an ornament and has no lethality. Everyone has a greedy heart. Faced with such a harmless and precious thing, he would definitely take out the jade.

When he walks a few steps forward and sees the second jade, he will be more relaxed, because he has already taken one and nothing happened. At this time, he will take it for granted that this is not dangerous, and reach out to hold the jade again. take it down. "

Zhou Chi continued: "The real mechanism will be triggered at this time?"

Xie Jianmian nodded: "Yes. The mechanism needs two jade stones, and only when these two jade stones are taken out will the mechanism hidden behind the stone wall be triggered."

"But you also took down both of them just now, but the mechanism has not been triggered."

"Because the order is different." Xie Jianmian pointed to the position of the two jade inlays, "It can only be triggered by taking it out from the front to the back. This process cannot be reversed, and it is useless from the back to the front."

"Then what if the people passing by didn't take the jade off?"

"Of course nothing will happen if you don't take off the jade stone, so you can save your life for nothing." Xie Jianmian smiled lightly, "So, people who are greedy for money should not do it."

Zhou Chi continued to ask: "So this institution actually has many imperfections?"

"Yes, these are just some rudimentary mechanisms. They are actually useless. There are too many conditions required. Once one of them is not matched, the mechanism will not be triggered."

Xie Jianmian looked at the dark candles on both sides, and said softly, "So I find it very strange why such a useless and ordinary mechanism is set up here. It is simply too small to be useful."

Xie Jianmian then thought of something, and his expression was a bit indescribable: "I think... these bandits may have no brains at all except for brute force, otherwise they wouldn't come across any formation or mechanism and gather in their camp , I didn’t even think of such an obvious mistake.”

What he said was really interesting, and it was indeed in line with Mr. Xie's usual style. Zhou Chi couldn't help laughing out loud. Xie Jianmian glared at him fiercely, his slightly raised eyes lost all momentum under the candlelight.

On the contrary, there was a bit of indescribable charm, Zhou Zhi's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and couldn't help but licked the corner of Xie Jianmian's mouth lightly.

"Hello!" Xie Jianmian couldn't help but smile bitterly, Zhou Butou couldn't forget this on such an occasion.

Zhou Chi accepted it as soon as he saw it, took two steps back, pretended that he hadn't done anything, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Xie Jianmian snorted softly, "Probably someone is sleepwalking."

Zhou Chi nodded, serious as if he believed it.

Xie Jianmian rolled his eyes, feeling that Zhou Tutou was too naive to stand up, so he continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened.

"Hey, wait a minute!" Seeing that Xie Jianmian passed him forward, Zhou Zhi quickly grabbed his arm and pulled him behind him, "The front is too dangerous, you follow behind."

Xie Jianmian pulled down his arm, walked to the front again, Shi Shiran said: "Forget it, you don't know any organ formations, it's really dangerous to let you rush to the front. Don't worry, although I am definitely better than you in terms of martial arts." Not on you, but I am definitely better than you in these things."

What he said was right, Zhou Chi felt relieved.

The candlelight ahead was still faint, reflecting the small piece of darkness ahead, but finally came to a corner, and stopped moving forward in a daze.

"This way." Xie Jianmian walked forward along the corner, and in a blink of an eye, he noticed a change on the stone wall. The stone wall here is no longer smooth and empty. There are some patterns carved on it. It can be seen that the style is extremely exquisite. But it is far from it, resulting in these patterns with only form but no substance, which is a bit dull.

There is also a pair of stone lions at the corner. The stone lions are extremely exquisite, and their expressions are very vivid.

Especially those eyes, I don't know what kind of gemstones are inlaid in them, but there is a faint light coming out of them, making the whole stone lion seem to be alive. Xie Jianmian has seen more strange stone lions in other places, and even feels that they are more strange than flowing stone lions. Yunshanzhuang is not bad.

"Look, this little gangster can still find such a skilled craftsman to make this stone lion so realistic." Xie Jianmian said to Zhou Chi who had just turned around, and then lamented the patterns on the wall, "If these can also be Just find a good craftsman to carve, such a good pattern is for nothing."

Xie Jianmian kept talking, but he didn't wait for Zhou Chi's response for a long time.He looked over in surprise, but saw Zhou Chi standing still, staring in a daze at the patterns that he sneered at, and then walked towards the pair of stone lions as if lost in his soul, and when he saw the light in the eyes of the stone lions, he suddenly reached out to touch them.

"Don't touch!"

Xie Jianmian hurriedly stopped him, but he still couldn't keep up with Zhou's catcher's hand speed. The moment Zhou Chi touched the stone lion, a puff of smoke spewed out from all directions. Xie Jianmian quickly held his breath and covered Zhou hold muzzle.

But this is not over yet, the cold arrows are shot from the stone walls on both sides, there is almost no gap between the arrows, Zhou Chi is still in that state of being stupefied, I don't know why he suddenly fell into an evil spirit, Xie Jianmian just Can dodge while pulling Zhou Zhi back in a hurry.

Seeing that he was about to reach the safe area, Zhou Chi came to his senses. He no longer relied on Xie Jianmian to retreat passively, but the momentum of the arrow was faster than manpower after all. Opposite the stone wall.

Only then did Shibi quiet down.

Zhou Zhihu helped Xie Jianmian and fell to the ground not far away. The hand on his back touched the sticky liquid, and the bloody smell began to spread around.
