Through the window, Chen Pingan checked carefully again, and indeed the figure of the old Taoist was not missing.

"There is a dark room in the room!"

In almost an instant, Chen Pingan made a judgment.

It is impossible for a person to disappear for no reason. There must be a dark room in the room.

"It's really strange!"

Chen Pingan thought for a while, walked to the side, and put his palm on the door.

Buzz~

The true energy trembled slightly, and the bolt inserted in the door jumped up.

At this time, Chen Pingan seized the opportunity and pushed the door open directly. Before the bolt fell to the ground, he took it steadily in his hand.

He was also a skilled and courageous person, and he actually went directly into the room of the old Taoist.

This courage was also given to him by strength. If he was still in the inner energy realm now, he would have hesitated to do this. But the Xuanguang middle realm... made Chen Pingan act quite recklessly.

The worst case scenario is that he was discovered and fled directly.

He did this mainly because he felt that this Taoist temple was somewhat strange. Not to mention that everyone here has embarked on martial arts practice. Let's say there is such a Taoist temple in the wilderness, and there is a dark room in the room of the Taoist temple master.

If it is a secret compartment, it is understandable to hide treasures, but it is a bit strange to build a dark room that people can enter.

In addition, Chen Pingan also discovered a detail. The supplies just purchased were full of seven or eight people, and there were really a lot of things. And listening to the conversation between the two Taoists before, they said that today was the monthly purchase, and it was normal to come back late. The other Taoist remembered it wrongly and thought it was the ten-day purchase.

In other words, this Taoist temple will purchase once every ten days. The reason why the monthly purchase is singled out should be a little different from the ordinary ten-day purchase.

After observing this Taoist temple, there are less than twenty people going up and down. Is it necessary to buy so many supplies in just ten days?

Chen Pingan had a vague guess in his heart.

He closed the door, inserted the bolt, and restored it to the way it was just now. Then he observed the situation in the room. The layout inside was very strict, and all kinds of furnishings were available. Chen Pingan looked around and did not find any secret room entrance or any mechanism.

The Taoist priest could come back at any time, so Chen Pingan's top priority was to find a good hiding place. He first looked under the bed, but unfortunately, the Taoist priest's bed was solid, leaving only a small gap, and it was obvious that no one could hide inside.

Chen Pingan's eyes moved and fell on the wardrobe not far from the bed. There were several wardrobes, and the one on the far right could just accommodate an adult standing in it.

"That's it." Chen Pingan walked forward and prepared to open the wardrobe to observe whether it was suitable for hiding.

As soon as his hand was placed on the handle, a strange thought suddenly popped up in his mind.

No, as soon as he opened the wardrobe door, he would see the Taoist priest standing upright inside, looking at him motionlessly.

This scene, thinking about it, is a bit creepy!

Fortunately, Chen Pingan was overthinking. There were only some clothes in the closet, and there was no scene as he imagined.

After confirming that there was a place to hide, Chen Pingan began to explore the room. As a result, not long after he looked, a faint sound came from the ground.

"I'm back!" Chen Pingan's expression was stern, and he quietly ran into the closet with a move, and then carefully closed the door. The closet door was not closed, and there was such a small gap in the middle.

The room was lit with candlelight, and the closet was extremely dark. Chen Pingan could just observe the scene in the room through this small gap.

In addition, Chen Pingan has now entered the realm of Xuanguang. With full concentration, he can perceive the outside world to a certain extent. Even without this slight gap, he can roughly sense the scene outside.

A mechanical sound rang out, and the floor of the room suddenly sank, and then a passage of not too big or too small appeared. A tall and thin old Taoist walked out of the passage.

After the old Taoist came out, he walked to the side and rotated the round table used for decoration.

Click, click, click!

A slight mechanical sound was heard, and the sunken ground returned to its original state.

After coming out of the passage, the old Taoist paced back and forth in the room with a worried look.

Chen Pingan hid in the closet and observed quietly.

Suddenly, the old Taoist stopped and turned around, just facing the closet where Chen Pingan was hiding.

Hmm?

Chen Pingan was startled.

Found me?

The old Taoist walked towards the closet, and Chen Pingan held his breath and concentrated, ready to jump up at any time and control the other party.

Squeak!

The closet door rang, and the old Taoist opened the closet door next door and took out a long gown from it.

Then he changed his Taoist robe into a long gown and sat cross-legged on the bed.

"This old Taoist!" Chen Pingan said inwardly, and then waited quietly in the closet.

To be honest, he really had an impulse just now, and he jumped up and controlled the old Taoist directly to find out what was going on here. It would save him from sneaking around like this and wasting his time and energy.

Wouldn't it be better to just rush in!

However, after thinking about it, I decided to be cautious first and wait until the situation is not right before rushing in!

Hmm! Wait!

Why do I always think about rushing in? Could it be that I am really a reckless man?

No, it's impossible! Absolutely impossible!

......

Early in the morning of the second day, the old Taoist woke up from his slumber. The first thing he did after getting up was to take off his robe and change back into the Taoist robe in the closet. Then, Chen Pingan also observed that he seemed to deliberately touch the inside of the Taoist robe.

After doing all this, the old Taoist left the room in a short while. Before leaving, he closed the door.

Chen Pingan waited in the closet for a while, and after making sure that the old Taoist would not come back, he pushed open the closet door and walked out.

There were already bursts of noises coming from outside the room, which were the sounds of Taoist priests doing morning classes in the Taoist temple.

Chen Pingan glanced at the round table decoration on the side, and without any hesitation, he began to turn it like the old Taoist yesterday.

Click, click, click!

The sound of the mechanism sounded, and a part of the ground in the room began to sink.

When activating the mechanism, Chen Pingan actually thought about whether there would be someone in the dark room. If he opened it here, wouldn’t he find it over there? It’s not safe to open it directly like this.

But if he didn’t open the mechanism, he could only wait for the old Taoist to open it and follow him in directly. But looking at the situation before entering the room, it is obvious that there is a mechanism to close the passage on the other side of the dark room.

The logic of following in is not very valid.

If you can't follow in, there is a risk of being discovered if you open the passage yourself.

After thinking about it, it seems that there is no other good way.

So...

Just open it! Just rush in!

Hmm...?

Wait! That's not right!

I'm really not a reckless man!
