Chapter 57 Traces of the Secret Room

Seeing Cao Zhuo and Bai Qi extremely seriously hitting the marble on the ground with the head of the knife, but the more they hit the knife, the more serious the face became, and the Tianchao guard sword in their hands still did not react at all.

Tian Yinke couldn't help but beat the ground with his sword.

As time passed by little by little, the light of the setting sun shone in from the closed window.

Bai Qi had given up searching and rested on a cushion, sweating profusely. Looking at Cao Zhuo who had not given up, he didn't say anything. He knew that unless Cao Zhuo read it all by himself, whatever he said would be treated like nonsense.

During this period, the three of them picked up the candlesticks, altars, and incense burners in the hall and carefully checked them. Cao Zhuo and Bai Qi tried to see if they could turn the Buddha statues. They also wanted to move the Buddha statues, but the Buddha statues made of solid gold were so easy to move.

The three of them sat in a ball, Bai Qi's expression was very relaxed, after all, his subordinates did not make any mistakes; Tian Yinke looked puzzled, and the beast fox would not say panic, but the beast fox kept lying at the door, looking bored.

"Tianshan, come here." Cao Zhuo should have no change in his expression.

After hearing Cao Zhuo's shout, the beast fox crawled up in a panic, trotted to the three of them, and said, "There must be a hole below, but I don't know why I just can't dig the stone."

After hearing the words of the beast fox, Cao Zhuo didn't say anything. Since it was certain and had tried it, he couldn't be sure whether it was there or not, so he couldn't say anything casually.

"Will you dig here from outside?" Tian Yinke said in a flash of inspiration.

The beast fox said with a particularly serious expression: "Yes, why didn't I think of this solution? Go now."

Seeing Tian Yinke opening the door with the beast fox and running out, Cao Zhuo and Bai Qi looked at each other, and quickly got up and ran out of the hall.

After leaving the hall, there was no trace of the beast fox. Only Tian Yinke stood in front of a small pit. Bai Qi said in surprise: "Tianbaihu, how can you dig a hole in the ground? Great, great, can you sell it?"

The four eyes looked at Bai Qi together and thought to himself: Why do they all think that the beast fox is a dog? When they see it, they ask whether it is sold. The beast fox is really popular, so many people appreciate it.

Bai Qi felt that Tian Yinke and Cao Zhuo had strange eyes, so he waved his hand and said, "A gentleman does not take away what others like, and does not take away what others like. I have never said that." But this Tian Baihu is too ignorant. With Cao Zhuo's support, I don't even give me a little face, and I don't have any distinction between high and low. You must know that a Jinyiwei Baihuo in the capital has no backing and nothing is wrong. Could it be that people with abilities are so arrogant? But I have many capable people, so why are there no such people?

Of course, Cao Zhuo and Tian Yinke didn't know what Bai Qi was thinking, so they all looked at the hole dug by the beast fox.

After a long time, Wang Cheng, who was outside the door, walked over with a lunch box of five or six layers, and shouted from afar: "Sir, the Miao Ji outside ordered people to deliver supper." He shouted without reaction. Wang Cheng did not dare to get too close. After all, the three of them gathered together and didn't know what they were doing, so his voice increased and repeated.

When Cao Zhuo and the other three came to their senses and looked at the person who was calling.

The three of them looked over without any expression on their faces. Wang Cheng was frightened and took several steps back. He immediately knelt down, sweating profusely, obviously scared.

But the three of them looked at it and turned back, continued to look at the pit, and then Bai Qi said, "I won't die inside, right?"

Cao Zhuo woke up and turned around and said to Wang Cheng who was still kneeling there and lowering his head, "Why are you kneeling there?" Then he saw Wang Chenglian's lunch box and said, "Oh, Miao Dafang is here to deliver the meal, take it into the hall, and call the other one in too."

Wang Chengru received a general amnesty, said nothing, ran back with the lunch box.

Seeing Tian Yinke and Bai Qi were confused. Cao Zhuo said with a strange expression: "Are these two people really OK?"

"It seems OK." Tian Yinke replied lightly.

Cao Zhuo was covered in black lines; Bai Qi laughed in his heart, and I could find as many people as I wanted.

The beast fox crawled out of the pit, lay on the ground with a word, grinned, shook his tongue aside, and gasped, saying, "I'm so tired."

The three of them asked quickly: "How is it?"

"I don't know why, there are large and small rocks everywhere below. I tried my best to dig to the edge of the hall and found that they were all stone slabs on the ground of the hall. I continued to dig. In addition to the rocks, they were stone slabs, and even the most strata were made of stone slabs. I also walked around specially. It was strange that since all of them were rocks and stone slabs." The beast fox said gasping.

Seeing that Cao Zhuo and Bai Qi didn't say anything, they walked to a stone chair next to a stone table and sat down, and Tian Yinke followed him.

After a while, Bai Qi was the first to say: "Do you want to find Brother Qi and pry the hall open?"

"How could there be rocks underground in the capital? And Tianshan just said that it was marble that was dug very deep. I think the Tianguo Temple was not filled with marble, right?" Cao Zhuo said with thought.

Bai Qi said anxiously: "Hey, am I just asking my brothers to dig it out now?"

Cao Zhuo shook his head and said, "It's too late. I guess there is still a long distance between the hall and the basement, otherwise why would our knife not respond?"

"By the way, I also found a lot of such things." Seeing the beast fox coming over, I handed a ball of hay that looked as delicate as silk.

After reading it, Cao Zhuo shook his head and gave it to Bai Qi next to him. Bai Qi looked at it for a long time and shook his head and said, "I haven't seen this thing before, but how could there be such a thing below?"

Then, Bai Qi threw it on the stone table and Tian Yinke picked it up.

Item information: cotton,?????????????.

"cotton?"

Cao Zhuo and Bai Qi looked at Tian Yinke in surprise and said, "Do you know?"

As a result, Tian Yinke shook his head and said, "I only know it's a kind of cotton, but I really don't know what it is."

Wang Cheng and Chen Long walked over and said, "Sir, it's time to eat."

Tian Yinke handed the "cotton" in his hand to the two of them and asked, "Have you seen this thing before?"

After watching for a long time, Wang Cheng looked at Chen Long with uncertain eyes, but Chen Long understood that this was a signal to ask for help from him, and immediately said to Tian Yinke: "Three sirs, Wang Cheng should know."

Cao Zhuo and the other two showed joy, but Wang Cheng was full of surprise, but Chen Long said that he knew, and if he still said something he didn't know, it wouldn't be as simple as death.

"Sir, this... the young one is not sure if it is." Wang Cheng said in a squirming manner.

Cao Zhuo was a little unhappy when he saw this: "If you have a lot, please let it go, what's wrong? I'll just say it."

Wang Cheng was frightened by Cao Zhuo's roar and hurriedly said, "Sound-absorbing cotton, an item that can absorb sound. The little one has seen some scammers using these to deceive some rural people. Later, he broke the trick and learned that it was sound-absorbing cotton, but this kind of thing should not have grown in the capital, but an extremely cold place."

Item information: Sound-absorbing cotton can reduce the decibels of the sound, and when there are too many, it can directly block the sound.

The item information of Tianyinke just now has become complete.

Bai Qi suddenly stood up and shouted: "Come, come, call everyone over to me."

Cao Zhuo seemed to remember something and hurriedly said to Wang Cheng and Chen Long: "Hurry, go and bring the food here."

After hearing Bai Qi's shouting, a group of Jinyiwei quickly gathered in front of Bai Qi.

Bai Qi ordered without saying nonsense: "Everyone listens to me and searches the hall with all his might. Even if there are so many tiles, bricks, and even dust inside, I need to know, go immediately."

A group of Jinyiwei responded in unison and rushed into the hall, some of which were on the roof.

Seeing Wang Cheng and Chen Long coming with lunch boxes, Cao Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, dinner is fine."

Speaking of this, everyone was hungry. Wang Cheng and Chen Long took out the food in the lunch box one by one. Bai Qi looked at the roasted pigeons, roast ducks, garlic-flavored pork ribs, and a series of good dishes and meat on the stone table, and his stomach "gurgled".

Cao Zhuo smiled and said, "Come and make some food."

Bai Qi smiled on his face and was about to say something, but he found out that Cao Zhuo asked Wang Cheng and Chen Long to do it...

"Tianshan, it's time to eat." Cao Zhuo called out to the beast fox, and the beast fox quickly occupied a stone chair.

But the beast fox said, "Why are they all meat? I am a vegetarian."

Cao Zhuo laughed and put some vegetarian dishes in front of the beast fox and said, "It's so generous. It's actually made by Jinyu Mantang. The most famous one is this roasted pigeon. After eating it, it has a fragrance left on the lips and teeth, and it has endless aftertaste. One for each person."

Tian Yinke, who was on the other hand, had already taken action first. He glanced at Wang Cheng and Chen Long next to him, lowered his head and ate hard and said, "Just let go of your stomach and eat a lot. Lord Cao doesn't care about this when he eats."

But the two of them still looked at Cao Zhuo, and Cao Zhuo glared: "You can eat it, just like a woman. Could it be that I have to feed you one bite by one?"

The two of them quickly picked up a pigeon and started eating with relish.

Bai Qi on the side was full of stomach rumbling. Because he couldn't get out, he only ate some dry food at noon. He smelled the fragrance and sucked it hard, but he became even hungry.

The Jinyiwei in the hall kept looking at Cao Zhuo, obviously smelling the fragrance.

"What do you think? Search me carefully. If you miss a little, you will pull your skin." Bai Qi yelled at his subordinates.

Suddenly, something flew over from behind. Bai Qi jumped forward and turned halfway, and caught the attacking hidden weapon with one hand, but it felt a little wet and sticky. When he looked closely, it was a bone. Bai Qi quickly threw it off with one hand and wiped it on his clothes. He was about to roar, but he heard it.

"Let's find a chair to eat together. No one here will serve you." Cao Zhuo said to Bai Qi with a big mouthful of biting the roast duck leg.

"Hmph, just eat it, I'm afraid you won't be poisoned." Bai Qi, who was desperate to save face, whistle back.

The night began to fall, and Cao Zhuo, Bai Qi and Tian Yinke's mood became more and more complicated; the Jinyiwei had been over and over again, and he could even count how many gray particles there were in the hall.

"Is our search direction wrong?" Tian Yinke said in confusion.
