Xie Rulan's mind was focused on listening to the movement downstairs, but she didn't hear footsteps for the time being, and it was estimated that Chen Qianfan would not come up. He was still uneasy, and didn't notice that Xiao Xingyu was still holding his hand tightly.

Xiao Xingyu pulled him to sit on the stone steps, the more he looked at the secret passage, the more curious he became, and asked Xie Rulan in a low voice: "Xie Ning, have you been to this secret passage before?"

The two sat down next to each other. Xie Rulan also looked up at the secret passage when she heard the words, shaking her head and said, "No, I didn't know there was a secret passage here. It seems that this place should be somewhere on the first floor. Thinking that this organ building really hides a secret room."

"Office building?"

Xiao Xingyu was a little curious, Xie Rulan nodded and said: "Well, this used to be a government building. My grandfather came here when he was young, and he established a sect here by chance, and even the name of the sect was used. Xue, but no one dared to come here easily, and it was designated as a forbidden area by my grandfather, and it was not until my great uncle succeeded the landlord that the first floor was set up as an ancestral hall to enshrine the former landlord and some elders who passed away."

Xie Rulan added: "I heard this from my mother. I don't know the details. I just know that this place used to be an office building."

Seeing his explanation like this, Xiao Xingyu suddenly laughed, "I found that you are very gentle every time you get hurt, so it's not like when I first met you, you looked so unreasonable..."

"..."

Xie Rulan talked to him well, but when he said this, he was really a little dumb, and his face was already blushing suspiciously.Xiao Xingyu smiled lightly and said, "You must be very obedient when you are at home, especially listen to what your parents say, am I right?"

It was commonplace to gossip, Xie Rulan said: "How do you know?"

Xiao Xingyu analyzed it with reason, and said with a smile: "Look, you are always indifferent in front of outsiders, but when you were injured last time, you still called your parents in your dream, limp like a lamb Also, although you don't seem to care much about anything, sometimes you are really stubborn, and you are so strong every time, if I yell at you, you won't dare to mess around."

Xie Rulan thought to herself what kind of metaphor is the little sheep?A little dumbfounded, he quickly lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "My parents never killed me, but they died because of me..."

Xiao Xingyu just wanted to say something to make him not be so nervous, but he didn't expect to remind Xie Rulan of something unhappy, so he quickly changed the subject and said: "By the way, since there is a hidden secret room here, if your mother knows about it, will the landlords of all ages know about it?" Would he know it too? I mean, would Chen Qianfan know it too?"

The worry in Xie Rulan's heart quickly dissipated, and she opened her eyes wide and said: "I don't know, logically speaking, he probably knows too... Then isn't it very dangerous for us to be here now?"

"Don't worry!" Xiao Xingyu comforted him, and felt distressed when he saw his frown.

"Even if Chen Qianfan knows, he probably won't come to check every day, right?"

Thinking of something, Xie Rulan sighed with a smile: "But he does come here to offer incense every day, every day."

"..."

Xiao Xingyu was dumb for a while, and his heart was also tensed by Xie Rulan's words. He squeezed Xie Rulan's hand tightly, looking for a place to hide, but found that the corner not far away seemed weird, he let go of Xie Rulan's hand , holding the torch and walked a few steps forward.

"There seems to be a light ahead..."

"bright?"

Xie Rulan also followed, and Xiao Xingyu was exploring the way in front of him. The two approached the corner of the corridor carefully, only to realize that it was a right-angled corner, and there were high stone steps under the wall. Candles are brightly lit, but I don't know where it is.

Xiao Xingyu said: "People must come and go here often. According to what you said, it can only be your Master Chen."

Xie Rulan also nodded, "Is there something hidden here, so he..."

The two looked at each other, and they both saw in each other's eyes that they wanted to go down and check for a second, and immediately agreed, Xiao Xingyu took Xie Rulan's Weiliang hand again, and said seriously: "You wait for me here first, I will Go down and explore."

Xie Rulan thought he was going to go down with her, seeing his nervous appearance, he was about to say something, but his hand was released, Xiao Xingyu stepped down the stone steps, turned around and gave another order, Xie Rulan didn't move up.

"wait for me."

Xie Rulan was stunned for a while, then nodded obediently.

Only then did Xiao Xingyu feel relieved, he stuffed the fire bag into his hand, and walked down slowly by touching the wall, leaving Xie Rulan waiting anxiously at the corner.

There were more than a dozen stone steps about two people high, and when Xiao Xingyu went down, he was shocked to find that there was a huge and empty basement below. There were candlesticks placed in the four corners, and the rows of candles were about to burn out, which seemed to indicate that it was time to replace them with new ones. up.

There are some tall shelves in the corner, on which are [-] kinds of weapons, and some scrolls and classics, and there are quite a few, it must be someone's private collection.

What surprised Xiao Xingyu the most was that in the center of the basement, there was actually a jasper bed on which lay a person, a middle-aged man in black, covered with thick wool blanket.

I don't know if that man is still alive, his complexion is not good, there are some bruises in his paleness, Xiao Xingyu approached involuntarily.

On the side of the jade bed, Xiao Xingyu saw some tables and chairs. There were rows and rows of medicine bottles on the small table. There were more than a dozen small medicine bottles. There was a jade bowl beside it, half of which exuded a sweet fragrance. honey water.

At this time, he was already standing beside the jade bed, very close to the man on the jade bed.

That man has a cold and handsome face, with no beard on his face, and looks very energetic, but now his eyes are tightly closed, I don't know if he is still alive.Xiao Xingyu thought for a while, then poked his hand lightly under his nose, spraying a faint breath on his fingertips, Xiao Xingyu withdrew his hand thoughtfully.

The man is still alive.

Still wanting to check the medicine bottles beside him, suddenly there was a sound of hurried footsteps behind him, Xiao Xingyu turned his head abruptly, and he was relieved when he saw that it was Xie Rulan.

"How did you get down?"

Fortunately, there is no mechanism in this basement, otherwise, Xiao Xingyu didn't dare to think about it.But Xie Rulan said anxiously: "Chen Qianfan has gone upstairs!"

Xiao Xingyu immediately frowned, Chen Qianfan would come upstairs, probably because he knew about this basement, and this half-dead man might be hidden here by him.

Xiao Xingyu began to look around for a good place to hide, but Xie Rulan suddenly walked quickly to his side, looked at the man on the jade bed dumbfounded, and exclaimed in his mouth.

"Uncle Jiang Yun!"

Instead, Xiao Xingyu was frightened, "Is he the former landlord Jiang Yun?"

Xie Rulan ignored him, and went straight to the jade bed, but Xiao Xingyu stood behind him and said, "This man is not dead yet, but your uncle Jiang Yun died more than a year ago ?"

Xie Rulan said, "I don't know... but he is Master Jiang Yun. At that time, he was obviously pierced by Chen Qianfan with a sword. How could he not be dead?"

As he spoke, his fingertips trembled slightly and he poked under Jiang Yun's nose. Although it was very weak, his warm breath still clearly showed his existence.Xie Rulan was a little puzzled, smiled again, and said to Xiao Xingyu with joy in her eyes: "Uncle Jiang Yun is not dead!"

Xiao Xingyu nodded, and Xie Rulan excitedly shook Jiang Yun's body to wake him up.

"Uncle Jiang! Uncle Jiang, wake up, I am Aning!"

"Xie Ning..."

Just now Xie Rulan said that Chen Qianfan had gone upstairs, and Xiao Xingyu was about to persuade him to hide first, when the sound of the mechanism opening suddenly came from his ear, and naturally, Xie Rulan heard it too.

He looked at the corner hastily, and anxiously shook Jiang Yun's shoulders, wanting to wake him up quickly, and urgently called out in a low voice: "Uncle Jiang, wake up quickly..."

"Xie Ning, now is not the time to save people..."

Xiao Xingyu took his hand and wanted to take him away first, but suddenly heard some strange voices, and looked around vigilantly.

The voice was low, almost blending into the dead air, and kept ringing in Xiao Xingyu's ears—hiss...hiss...

What is this sound?Xiao Xingyu became more and more strange, but now Chen Qianfan had come down the secret path and was walking down the stone steps step by step. Xiao Xingyu had no time to let Xie Rulan mess around here, so he urged in a low voice: "Xie Ning, let's go down the stone steps first." Hide, Chen Qianfan is here!"

Xie Rulan panicked and said, "But Master Jiang Yun..."

The strange sound in his ear became more and more clear, Xiao Xingyu didn't pay attention to listen to Xie Rulan's words, because he had already found the source of the strange sound——

At this time, a small dark red snake crawled out from the blanket covering Jiang Yun's body, rushing towards Xie Rulan's hand on Jiang Yun's shoulder like lightning.

But at this moment, Xie Rulan didn't notice the little snake at all. He saw Xiao Xingyu's expression suddenly became very strange. Just as he was about to ask him something, Xiao Xingyu suddenly grabbed his hand and pulled him away. Caught off guard and fell into the opponent's arms, his forehead was a little red when he bumped into it, but there was the sound of Xiao Xingyu's forbearance gasping above his head.

He raised his head in doubt, and saw Xiao Xingyu looking behind him coldly.Xie Rulan looked back blankly, Xiao Xingyu's hand was behind him at some point, but at this moment his wrist was bitten by a small dark red snake that suddenly appeared!

Xie Rulan's eyes widened suddenly, and at the same time, the sound of clear footsteps echoed in the empty basement...
