Skilled in managing a house

As long as the stone is partially removed, you can see what's going on inside. Behind the pile of stones is a small place, less than two meters long, and beyond that is the end.

Zhang Yu couldn't believe his eyes, so he threw a fire gathering talisman over and observed carefully.

As you just saw, the area inside is really small, about two meters long and about one meter wide.

The young man couldn't help but wonder: "What's going on? Why is there a dead end behind the stone?"

"It shouldn't be... If there isn't anything important, who would be free to do something like this..." Zhang Yu said with a frown.

"I think we should go over and take a look first," the young man said.

Zhang Yu nodded and said, "I'll go there first."

The stone was not completely removed, just the upper part. But the area where these stones are accumulated is not small, almost one meter in length. Zhang Yu stepped on the stone and went up. With the light of the fire, he could see everything clearly. The ground in front of him was empty and there was nothing abnormal.

He jumped over and looked around, but didn't see anything special. He took a few steps forward and came to the front. There was just a normal layer of soil. Look, the cave seemed to be dug right here.

But Zhang Yu didn't believe this, so he stretched out his hand and patted it. The soil in front was very thick, and it looked solid at first glance.

"It's no problem..." He said and stamped his feet again, trying to hear whether they were hollow under his feet.

The result is the same, the bottom is also very thick.

At this time, the young man also stood on the pile of stones. She did not jump down directly. Instead, she subconsciously looked up and said, "Have you noticed that this place is higher than the previous place..."

"High..." Zhang Yu raised his head and immediately discovered that the height above his head here was indeed higher than all the places he had passed before.

Along the way, the length and width of the corridor are almost the same, and the height is basically less than two meters. If you are a tall person, you have to bend down to walk. But here, the height reaches two and a half meters, which is obviously abnormal.

"It is indeed relatively high. It seems that there is really a problem here..." Zhang Yu said.

"You don't seem to have noticed the location down there," the young man said.

"That's right, there is nothing found either under the feet or directly in front." Zhang Yu said.

"What about the places that your hands can't touch?" the young man asked.

"The place that can't be reached by hand..." Zhang Yu took a few steps back and looked up again.

The area above seemed to be just soil, nothing special.

Zhang Yu gritted his teeth, took two steps back, and then rushed forward. He kicked the soil in front of him, then used the force to jump up, and raised his hand to slap the soil above. .

"boom!"

Zhang Yu's palm was quite forceful, because he wanted to hear clearly. However, with this palm strike, something unexpected happened to him.

His palm actually punched a hole in the soil above. Zhang Yu was even sure that the hole was not soil at all, but just a thin layer of bricks.

"This..." The young man was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but said excitedly: "There is indeed a problem!"

Zhang Yu was also overjoyed. It seemed that there really was something different here. Otherwise, it shouldn't have been blocked with stones.

"Are you done..."

Just when the two were surprised and delighted, an old man's voice suddenly sounded from the top of the hole.

Hearing the sound, the two of them were even more surprised, and then heard the old man say: "You guys give way..."

Accompanied by this sound, there were two more "bangs", and a series of stones fell from above.

The place soon revealed a hole that could accommodate one person entering and exiting, and soon a figure fell out of it.

Zhang Yu subconsciously took a few steps back and looked at the person who came down. I saw this man, naked from the waist up, with only a pair of white shorts underneath. His body was very strong, but there were many scars. He has white hair and a good complexion, but he looks very fierce.

Zhang Yu and the others looked at each other, and the other party also looked at them. After looking at them for a while, the old man suddenly asked in confusion: "Who are you two?"

"We..." Zhang Yu didn't know how to answer for a while, but from the old man's previous words, he noticed that the other party seemed to be waiting for someone, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to directly say 'it's done'.

"We are the great protectors of the Dharma." At this time, the young man suddenly said.

"The Great Protector..." The old man muttered, and then he lunged forward, raised his hand and punched Zhang Yu, who was standing under the stone.

Zhang Yu never expected that the young man's words would provoke the old man to take action directly, because the distance was too close and it was too late to dodge.

In desperation, Zhang Yu immediately used the Tai Chi move to part the mane of a wild horse. With his arms, he gently and deftly moved the old man's fist aside, and then waved his pipa again, pushing the old man backwards. After several steps, he hit the soil.

Zhang Yu swung his arms forward, and the jade rope sprang out from his cuffs. With a "swipe" sound, the old man was tied up tightly.

The old man originally wanted to steady his steps and continue to pounce, but now, with a "clang", his body lay heavily on his side on the ground.

Zhang Yu deliberately did not lock his mouth because he was very curious about who this person was.

"Who are you?" Zhang Yu asked.

"You..." The old man was startled when he heard Zhang Yu's words. He then let out an "uh" sound in his mouth and stopped moving.

Zhang Yu quickly rushed to him, stretched out his hand to check his breathing, and found that the old man had no breath. Zhang Yu immediately put his fingers on his pulse gate to check his pulse, but he found that his pulse was gone.

"So fast!" Zhang Yu was surprised and immediately took the Yuxu rope.

Through the old man's pulse, he could feel that the old man should have committed suicide by taking poison, but the poison was too toxic and would be fatal on the spot.

Zhang Yu laid the old man's body flat and opened the old man's mouth. He immediately smelled a fishy smell, but the fishy smell was also mixed with a fragrance.

For a moment, I didn't know what kind of poison it was, but Zhang Yu felt a little dizzy when he smelled the smell, which showed how overbearing this poison was.

The young man jumped down from the stone pile, walked to Zhang Yu's side, and said, "It seems that he died of poisoning."

"Yes." Zhang Yu nodded.

The young man looked at the old man carefully and said, "Did you notice something was wrong?"

"What's wrong?" Zhang Yu asked curiously.

"Usually people who are poisoned, especially those who are highly poisoned, will have a black face. Look at his face, it's still the same as usual, there is obviously something wrong." The young man said.
