Skilled in managing a house

Zhang Yu turned his head and looked at the stone gate behind him. When I took a look this time, I couldn't help but be stunned. It turned out that wherever there was a stone gate in front of me, it was clearly a mountain wall. Moreover, the mountain wall is not flat and has layers of soil, making it impossible to tell that it is a portal.

When the female driver saw Zhang Yu turning around, she also turned around. Seeing the mountain wall in front of her, the female driver couldn't help but said: "Why is this gate like this..."

Zhang Yu thought for a while and said: "The reason is very simple. This is just an exit. The people who designed the mechanism have a very clever layout. I dare to say that not only is there no mechanism coming in from the outside, but even if someone sees it, it is difficult to determine. There’s a cave inside.”

"Since...since it's like this...how could it be discovered..." the female driver said in surprise.

"It seems that among your people, there are still hidden dragons and crouching tigers." Zhang Yu said.

The female driver nodded and said, "That's right. When we came this time, we not only invited blasting experts, we even invited geological experts."

"This is it..." Zhang Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart. No matter how much wisdom the ancients had, it was nothing in the face of modern technology. With such a mechanism, no one could enter through the exit at first, but today, it can indeed be broken open by force.

"Mr. Zhang, what do you think we should do now..." the female driver said hesitantly.

"Now..." Zhang Yu also hesitated. Now there were only two choices left for them, one was to go out, and the other was to return to the Dark City.

Hua Yunong's people must have entered through here, but I don't know if the people who captured Hua Yunong followed him in.

But Zhang Yu can be sure that as long as he goes back, there will be a life-and-death struggle. Of course, we had made psychological preparations before his arrival.

"Let's go back." Zhang Yu said, squatting down and crawling in from under the stone door.

The female driver climbed in after him and returned to the Qinglong Hall. Zhang Yu walked around the screen and came to the hall.

He slowly walked towards the door of the palace again, and soon arrived at the door. Zhang Yu was about to get out through the hole under the door, but just when he squatted down, his heart suddenly moved, and the person stood up again. got up.

The female driver followed him. She originally thought that Zhang Yu was about to go out, but when she saw Zhang Yu stood up again, she couldn't help but said curiously: "What's wrong?"

"I just want to see this door..." Zhang Yu said.

The door in front of you is covered with dragon-shaped patterns, and the carvings are exactly the same as elsewhere. It is because there are two gaps that people can be sure that this is a portal.

"This door... seems to be the same as the secret door we saw before..." the female driver said in confusion.

"When we came here just now, there were five copper rings behind the door. According to the map, the door can be opened by pulling the copper rings in sequence." Zhang Yu said slowly.

"Exactly." The female driver nodded.

"But have you ever thought about it, there are mechanisms outside the Dao Sect, but why there are no obvious mechanisms inside?" Zhang Yu said.

"This..." The female driver was immediately stopped by Zhang Yu's question.

"According to the layout here, it seems that in the Dark City, there are only mechanisms for moving forward and no mechanisms for retreating. This is the same as the White Tiger Palace before. There is also a formation in it. I can also find the position with preparation, break it, and open it. The portal of the agency. But if nothing else happens, this portal must be the portal behind the screen. Following the passage behind the screen, we can leave from the entrance of Qinglong Mountain." Zhang Yu said.

"Yes, it's probably like this." The female driver nodded.

"Then this should be able to confirm that Nurhachi and the Taoist priest came in from Baihu Mountain and left from Qinglong Mountain. Maybe they didn't want to go back to Suzaku Hall and Xuanwu Hall, but because they couldn't go back. They had no choice but to go back. Go forward." Zhang Yu said.

"It makes sense." The female driver nodded again, but then added: "If you really want to, you can come down from the Baihu Mountain again..."

"It's not that easy." Zhang Yu said calmly: "At least in the underground four-image formation, the old Taoist should have exhausted his true energy. Even if he knows the method, it is impossible to break it again in the short term. Also, there is only one If you can move forward but cannot retreat, then what you will encounter after entering the Suzaku Palace or the Xuanwu Palace and where it will lead is really unknown. Therefore, Lao Dao and Nurhaci must not want to take this risk again."

"That's right... so to speak, we will face unknown dangers next..." the female driver said.

"Exactly..." Zhang Yu smiled and said, "Now I really want to see what is in the Vermillion Bird Hall and the Xuanwu Hall, and where it leads to... Okay, let's go..."

After saying this, Zhang Yu squatted down again and got out of the hole below.

The female driver immediately got out, and the two of them came to the passage one after another, and their eyes were dim. They continued walking forward, walked some distance, and came to a crossroads.

Standing at the intersection, the female driver said: "Mr. Zhang, which way should we go?"

"Which way?" Zhang Yu thought for a moment. To be honest, he wanted to find Hua Yunong and others, but it was so dark here that he couldn't find any clues. He couldn't tell which way he could meet them. allow.

After a while, Zhang Yu said: "Just walk aside..."

As he spoke, Zhang Yu pointed to the right side, and then said: "It doesn't matter which way you go, you can't meet it here, but you can meet it on the other side..."

The female driver nodded. Anyway, there are only two choices. If one side fails, the other side can also be encountered.

The two people walked along the road. Zhang Yu knew that according to the direction, this should be the Suzaku Hall.

The two of them walked forward, and in the dim light, after walking for a while, they saw a portal in front of them. In addition to this portal, Zhang Yu also felt stones stepping on his feet.

He immediately lowered his head and saw that the female driver had obviously stepped on something, so she lowered her head to watch. Just by lowering their heads, the two of them could see a pile of stones underground. Under the stone door, there was a hole nearly half a meter high.

Upon seeing this, the female driver immediately said excitedly: "They have been here."

"Let's go in and take a look." Zhang Yu said, squatting down and heading into the cave.

Entering inside, Zhang Yu immediately jumped up from the ground. He was also worried about what if someone found him inside and directly attacked him.

Fortunately, he was not attacked by any sneak attacks, but everything he saw shocked him.

Although there is also a palace in front of him, right in front of the palace, there is no longer a bookcase, but a particularly large altar table. On the altar table, what seems to be displayed are spiritual tablets.
