Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 1134 The secret passage is like an ant’s nest
What is that?
Sima Xuanmo subconsciously took out a fire stick and threw it over, immediately igniting the thatch.

They also saw clearly that the so-called crying face of the little girl was actually a kite that had broken its string and landed here.

Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, Sima Xuanmo quickly put out the fire with his coat.

Because he was too anxious, Sima Xuanmo's eyebrows were licked by the fire and instantly became curled and blackened.

Sima Xuanmo touched it with his hand and almost shouted out in anger: "I'm disfigured!"

Lu Mingyu pinched him: "Isn't it just a few eyebrows? What do you call me?"

Si Ma

Lu Mingyu rolled her eyes at him and said, "I'll get you a new one when you go back. We need to do business first."

The two of them came to this mysterious dry well under the moonlight.

Sima Xuanmo whispered: "It is rumored that this is a man-eating well, and it often swallows people who pass by the well at night."

"Master came over to see it when he passed by the capital in the early years. In fact, the so-called cannibalism is completely nonsense. Someone killed people here. In order to escape/escape from guilt, the rumor of cannibalism in the ancient well was fabricated."

"In order not to cause panic and prevent people from using this well to kill people again, I wrote it in another way in the book. Unfortunately, it failed to stop the flood of rumors."

"Affected by rumors, this place was classified as a restricted area. Although the well still exists among the residences, no one dares to approach it anymore, which is why it is so desolate."

Just as Sima Xuanmo finished speaking, he saw that Lu Mingyu had lifted up the stone slab covering the ancient well and was ready to take a closer look.

"Ayu!" Sima Xuanmo scolded, "Why are you so frizzy? What if there is some mechanism? Besides, this stone slab is so heavy, you should let me carry it."

Lu Mingyu overturned the stone slab to the ground and glared at him: "Can't you help me lift it when I say these words?"

Sima Xuanmo touched his head: "Look at me, why didn't you think of that?"

Lu Mingyu gritted her teeth, as if she had returned to the days when she was crying in Cuiping Mountain. How could she trust her cousin and let him work with her?
At the bottom of the well, it was pitch black.

Lu Mingyu was about to drop a pebble to test the depth of the well, but was stopped by Sima Xuanmo.

The next moment, Sima Xuanmo pushed Lu Mingyu away and stabbed into the well with his sword.

"Keng!"

The sound of weapons clashing sounded, but it was someone coming out of the well.

Sima Xuanmo kicked the man away and stood at the mouth of the well.

The heavy sword is full of strength. When the sword stabs down, the strength penetrates into the well.

Not long after, there was a series of sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground.

"It seems that this is the enemy's lair!"

Lu Mingyu clenched the dagger and prepared to help Sima Xuanmo.

But suddenly, Sima Xuanmo jumped directly into the well.

"What a fool! You still call me reckless!"

Lu Mingyu sighed and jumped in.

There is indeed a very deep well underneath.

The people who had been beaten down by Sima Xuanmo before were all floating in the well.

But just about half a foot from the waterline, there was a large entrance, with warm orange light coming from inside.

Just as Lu Mingyu fell straight to the bottom of the well, Sima Xuanmo pulled him and pulled her directly into the spacious door.

"walk into."

Lu Mingyu glanced behind him warily to prevent someone from attacking from behind.

Inside, there is a more spacious secret room.

There are tables and chairs in the secret room, and there is wine on the table. It doesn't look like a residence, but like a guard at the door.

There is a tool for collecting water next to the well. It is thought that the source of water for the people in this secret passage is this well.

Sima Xuanmo and Lu Mingyu groped for a moment in the secret room and found a door. The door fit perfectly with the wall and could not be seen at all without looking carefully.

"Ayu, follow me."

Sima Xuanmo warned, raised the heavy sword in his hand, and used the sword energy to open the door.

Lu Mingyu had no time to stop her, and the sword energy raised thick dust and fell on her face, choking her and leaving her speechless for a long time.Looking at the switch hidden on the wall, Lu Mingyu spit out the dust in his mouth and glared at Sima Xuanmo: "Cousin, did you grow your head to look taller? Why did you make such a big noise?"

Si Ma "

Lu Mingyu rolled his eyes and pulled Sima Xuanmo behind him: "Let me go in front, my big idiot brother!"

Sima Xuanmo said: "It's too dangerous ahead, no way!"

Lu Mingyu ignored him, shook the ashes from his head, patted the dirt on his face, picked up a door panel and threw it into the passage ahead.

Seeing nothing unusual in front of her, she gripped the dagger and walked ahead.

It was a very long passage, but they walked smoothly. There were no traps or hidden weapons.

Suddenly, Sima Xuanmo muttered: "This tunnel is too dirty, how can there be spider silk?"

"Don't move!" Lu Mingyu stopped him in time.

But when Lu Mingyu turned around, Sima Xuanmo had shattered the crossbow arrows flying from the wall with his sword.

It turned out that it was not spider silk at all, but thin and strong silk.

These silk threads are connected to the mechanism. As long as the silk threads are pulled, poisonous arrows will be shot out.

Lu Mingyu was not tall and walked in a crotchety manner, so he did not touch the threads, so he directly slapped the tall Sima Xuanmo in the face.

Fortunately, this Hanhan possesses brute strength and can directly knock over those crossbow arrows.

Sima Xuanmo put the sword on his shoulder and said nonchalantly: "Let's go! It's okay!"

Lu Mingyu pinched his eyebrows.

If we continue like this, can we still save our lives?

The two of them walked about a mile before they found a spacious secret room, which was also guarded.

Si Ma

After passing the secret room, there are many tunnels in front of you.

They groped for a while and found that each tunnel was connected to a secret room. These secret rooms were equipped with simple beds, but they seemed to have always been inhabited.

But where have all these people gone?Are they the ones we met earlier?
But there's something wrong with the quantity.

The two found a passage that led deeper, but the deeper they went, the more accessible the tunnel became.

Originally there were only five or six tunnels, but now they are densely packed.

Like a termite nest, it extends in all directions, making it difficult to tell where the way out is.

Lu Mingyu reminded in a low voice: "Cousin, it's more difficult to walk ahead. Let's turn back, otherwise we may get lost in there."

Sima Xuanmo knelt down and carefully observed the color of the soil, then tapped the ground with his sword scabbard, and then said: "This is just a cover-up, the road is below."

Lu Mingyu frowned: "Huh?"

Sima Xuanmo said: "Have you ever seen an ant's nest? The structure of this secret room is like an ant's nest. The densely packed roads are used for the passage of worker ants and also to confuse the enemy."

"And the really important things, such as the ant's mother and cubs, will be hidden in the depths, and there can only be one way to get there."

Lu Mingyu said: "Aren't you a fool? Can I trust you?"

Sima Xuanmo said: "I can't do anything in the inaccessible forest, but as long as there are people, I can recognize the way. Just trust me once."

Lu Mingyu was doubtful. His cousin seemed to have forgotten that he couldn't even find his way to the capital.

But before Lu Mingyu could say anything, Sima Xuanmo had already stabbed him with his sword. Not only did it not penetrate him, but it shocked his mouth so much that it hurt.

He kicked it with his foot and said, "There is a stone slab underneath. Sure enough, there is something terrible underneath."

Lu Mingyu said: "What's the use of looking here? The entrance is definitely not here."

Sima Xuanmo asked: "What did Wu Ti tell you?"

Lu Mingyu said: "He just described the original text written in your book."

Sima Xuanmo suddenly realized: "I know where the entrance is."
