Tianshi Museum

The direction indicated by the compass is the edge of Nancheng City.

There is the opposite of where Guo Cangzhe University is located, on both sides of Nancheng, with a distance of more than 30 kilometers.

Shen Gun and Xia Zha can shrink the ground to an inch, and the other can leap hundreds of feet lightly. For them, walking is faster than riding a car.When something happened urgently, the two of them gave up the car, shuttled through the city at an extremely fast speed, and ran towards the target direction.

Nancheng is located in a plain area, and the outskirts of the city stretch as far as the eye can see, not even a short mountain.

The two soon came to the place pointed by the compass - a village.

The village is not big, surrounded by stretches of fields, the road into the village is narrow, two cars going towards each other have to slow down to pass.This village seems to be fairly prosperous, and most of the households are small two-story buildings, with tall courtyard doors, tiled walls and red tiles on the roof.

Xia Zha is very sensitive to the breath of living people. He closed his eyes and felt it for a moment. After opening his eyes, he told Shen Gun: "Many houses are empty and there are no people living in them. There are more middle-aged and elderly people in the village."

Shen Gun said: "Most villages are like this. There are no employment opportunities in the villages. No matter how close to the city and how convenient the transportation is, most young people still want to go to the city to find opportunities."

Xia Zha asked, "Is that person hiding in this village?"

Shen Gun: "It should be, but I didn't feel other spiritual power fluctuations."

Xia Zha shook his head: "I don't feel any abnormality now, I really am a good at hiding."

Shen Gun injected another wave of spiritual power into the compass, and said, "Normal. Such a yin monk may not necessarily have strong spells, and his ability to hide and escape is absolutely perfect."

This person had done so many things before the two of them could grasp clues and find a possible hiding place. The ability to hide and counter-reconnaissance was evident.

The compass quickly gave him feedback, and Shen Gun's expression froze, and he said to Xia Zha, "Go this way."

Xia Zha followed him, walked around the winding path in the village, and walked to a downhill place.

The slope is about two meters high, and the village ends at the bottom of the slope, with only a few scattered households, and stretches of fields beyond.At the beginning of spring, the wheat in the fields has entered the period of rejuvenation, and tender green shoots have emerged.

The farmhouse pointed by the compass is surrounded by wheat fields on three sides, and only the direction of the courtyard gate leads to the path leading to the village.

Xia Zha said softly, "Go back to Yuantian."

Shen Gun continued: "It's just a cover-up."

The gate of the small farmhouse was closed tightly, as if no one had lived in it for a long time, the doorknob was covered with dust, and the gate was locked from the outside, pretending to be unoccupied.

After concentrating for a moment, Xia Zha said, "I feel the breath of a person who is dying."

Although he was a living person, judging from his breath, he was a dying person, half of his body was buried in the loess.

Shen Gun had expected it a long time ago: "I guessed right before, it really is a half-dead monster who is doing trouble."

Xia Zha said, "Go straight in?"

Shen Gun put away the compass and nodded: "Heroes see the same thing."

The two looked at each other, stood in place and bent their legs at the same time. With a little effort, they easily crossed the high wall inlaid with glass shards in the countryside and stood in the small farmyard.

In northern villages, the area of ​​the courtyard is often larger than that of the house, and this small courtyard is no exception.

There are two small suites on the upper and lower floors of the two-story building facing north and south. The courtyard door, the entrance wall and the kitchen are on the east side, and the utility room and toilet are on the west side. The doors of each room are closed.To the south is a high wall, and a row of dwarf trees of unknown nature are planted under the corner.A grape trellis was set up behind the entrance wall, and the vines in early spring were just grayish-yellow withered vines, and there was a hand-pressed water well near the small building.

Xia Zha looked around curiously but cautiously for a week, looking for the hiding place of the Yin cultivator.

"There is no smell of living people in the house." Xia Zha said to Shen Gun, "But there is in the yard."

What Shen Gun asked was another question: "Does it smell bad?"

Xia Zha laughed, "It's not fresh."

Humans are above the diet of zombies, and zombies are also picky eaters, preferring healthy and young food.Although Xia Zha only absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the power of Yin spirits, he can also tell the health of human beings by smelling their breath.

Just like what Xia Zha said when he was outside the courtyard, the people staying here are dying but are dying, and the breath they emit is naturally not "delicious food" to him.

"In this case, let's turn off the inspiration." Shen Gong said, "We just turned the ground upside down, and we don't believe we can't find that stinky fish and rotten shrimp."

Xia Zha shook his head, he had a hunch that his inspiration would be useful.

but……

"The ground?" Xia Zha looked at the water cellar, "I have an idea."

Sensing his gaze, Shen Gun curled the corners of his lips: "I also have an idea."

Their thoughts always coincide with each other, and they can understand each other without words, and they have a perfect understanding.

Shen Gun said: "Please try your best to realize your bold ideas."

Xia Zha chuckled: "Then respect is worse than obedience."

After speaking, he walked to the water cellar, put his right hand on the round heavy stone that covered the water cellar, lifted it lightly, and placed it on the ground beside him.

After lifting the heavy stone, he lowered his head and looked in - sure enough, this is not a water cellar, it is clearly a tunnel.

Although this village has running water, sometimes the water is cut off. Therefore, most of the water cellars used to store water were not removed. Unexpectedly, this family was transformed into a winding tunnel.Xia Zha and Shen Gun have clear eyes and ears, and they can see things at night, and they can easily see the tunnels extending in all directions, like guerrilla warfare.

Shen Gun scoffed: "Sure enough, it's a mouse in the gutter, it likes to make holes."

Xia Zha: "Maybe there is an underground palace."

"The project is too large, I don't think it can be dug out." Shen Gun said, "This guy probably wouldn't dare to ask for help."

"It's hard to say." Xia Zha joked, "If you live a long time, you can create miracles by yourself."

Shen Gun: "Go, let's see a miracle."

The two jumped and went down the tunnel.

in the tunnel.

After feeling it quietly, Xia Zha said: "The smell of living people has become stronger, and the degree has increased several times. It seems that the heavy stones in the water cellar can also isolate the breath."

"The heavy stone has no traces of refining." Shen Gun didn't check the lid of the water cellar carefully, so he could only guess, "It should be a special material."

Xia Zha seriously suggested: "Maybe it can be displayed."

The display area of ​​the Tianshi Museum needs to add more exhibits.

Displaying the top of the cellar?

His cute idea made Shen Gun chuckle: "Okay, then we will take it away in a while."

Xia Zha: "Yes."

In order to confuse the public, there are many forks in the tunnel.Whenever encountering a fork in the road, Xia Zha will start inspiration and distinguish the direction according to the breath of the living.But in general, after going around, the tunnel still goes straight down.

Walking and walking, Shen Gun frowned and stopped: "The little place where yin and yang overlap."

"The little place where yin and yang overlap?"

"That's right." Shen Gun nodded, "A place suitable for ambitious people."

This explanation was concise and to the point, which also made Xia Zha laugh and cry.

The two descended to the fifth floor, and after twists and turns, they saw another intersecting tunnel.

Xia Zha was about to tell which entrance was right, but was stopped by Shen Gong: "I don't know how many floors there are in this way, let's break through violently."

Xia Zha: "Is a violent breakthrough feasible? Will it collapse this place?"

The above is not a barren mountain, there are still a few families living there, and the movement is too loud for fear that it will affect them.

"It's feasible." Shen Gun said, "When the tunnel was excavated, the supporting material was injected. After a while, I will melt a few cast iron symbols into the soil and drill a hole with a diameter of one meter straight down. There will be no problem."

Shen Gun never breaks his promise, he said it can be done, then it can be done.

Xia Zha's strength is also different from ordinary people, but the thickness of the tunnel is unpredictable, and the cast iron talisman is melted. It may take some effort for him to penetrate it, and there is no guarantee that it will be successful.

There is no need to force what you are not sure about.Xia Zha had a cast iron talisman on him, and he melted the cast iron talisman into Qiangzhong, then took a few steps back, and made a gesture of invitation to Shen Gong: "Then leave it to Boss Shen."

Shen Gun said: "Unplugging the network cable, deleting the code, shutting down the server, the most high-end business war often only requires the simplest hand-off."

"Look for the underground palace for the same reason."

After all, he drew a circle with a diameter of one meter on the ground with a talisman pen, then he clenched his fist and smashed it hard towards the ground with spiritual power.

After the loud bang of "Bang!", the area drawn by Shen Gun fell completely, and its roundness can be called a human-shaped compass.It is enough to show how terrifying his control over strength and spiritual power has reached.

Xia Zha's clear eyes were full of admiration: "It's amazing."

Shen Gun straightened his waist in an instant, and said in a steady tone: "It's so-so."

Just like that, after going down the fourth floor in the same way, the two of them suddenly fell silent at the same time.

Shen Gun looked at Xia Zha, and the two made eye contact.

Xia Zha: Below.

Shen Gong: Exactly.

The two looked solemn and alert, and they read the same message from each other's eyes: every hit is sure to hit.

Almost at the same time, Shen Gun broke through the tunnel, and Xia Zha took out his wooden fan to activate his spiritual power.

"boom--"

At the same time as the ground was broken, the two of them fell quickly, and were instantly enveloped by the strong Yin Qi inside.

It is very spacious below, about half the size of a basketball court, and all that can be seen is a tunnel leading to it, and the soul fire is burning on the wall, which is able to illuminate this space.A foul-smelling black mist filled the air, and there were layers of white bones on the ground, and nothing could be seen except dead bones.

The man reacted so quickly that he had already hidden himself.

His dying breath merged with the bones all over the floor, and a black mist of decay and staleness rushed over his face, making it difficult to distinguish.

Shen Gun made a decisive decision, threw two talismans, and rushed towards the entrance of the tunnel and the breach above his head respectively.The talisman instantly became larger, enough to cover the two holes and seal the two exits.

I don't know if there is another way out here, if I don't find it out from the thousands of broken bones quickly, I'm afraid he will escape.

The strong yin energy is extremely troublesome for any celestial master, but Xia Zha will not be affected. On the contrary, because of the harmony with the pure and strong yin energy, his inspiration and ability have been improved to a higher level.

"You are 13 meters to the left!"

Xia Zha spoke suddenly.

Without any hesitation, Shen Gun rushed to the position Xia Zha had mentioned, conjured a mahogany sword out of thin air and stabbed down fiercely.

"Jie Jie—"

A sinister voice sounded, and a black shadow sprang out from the place where Shen Gun stabbed, sprinkled a cloud of black powder on him, then turned and flew in another direction.Xia Zha had expected it a long time ago, and appeared behind him, cutting off his retreat.

Xia Zha attacked him with a blade-like fan. The black shadow couldn't dodge in time, and half of his arm was cut off in one encounter.

At the same time, Shen Dang followed, his shot was as fast as lightning, and when the shadow was screaming in pain, he raised his sword and cut off his legs.
