He didn't rush the tired soldiers to take action, probably because Gu Mo didn't have the spirit and consciousness of a capitalist yet, and he didn't think they were working for him.
So he very considerately let the soldiers have a good rest. It was not until the time entered the afternoon that they resumed their energy and devoted themselves to the work of cleaning up the entire mansion... After all, more people are more powerful than ever.
It's much better than the three of them searching without a clue.
——Not even three people. It should be said that he is the only one who is consciously paying attention to this matter, but it is really difficult to explain to the other two.
As for Tokichiro, he naturally didn't know about it. Although Hidechiyo felt that there was still evil spirit in the mountain, he didn't know that the secret passage into the mountain was hidden somewhere deep in his father's mansion. There was not much
Thoughts... So Gu Mo was the only one who was sure about this matter, but he had no way to explain it to them.
It's not suitable for him to do it too obviously when he's looking for it himself, and the workload is huge.
Therefore, we can only hope that the soldiers will conduct a blanket search. If there are more people and they conduct a blanket search in a logical manner, they should still be able to find the secret door and secret passage.
In fact, this matter went more smoothly than he imagined. Deep in a seemingly ordinary room, a small team of Tiepao Ashigaru discovered a wall that had been violently damaged, and a secret passage behind the wall... It looked pretty good.
Obviously, you can see it as soon as you enter this room, but if there is only one person, you may have to wander around the mansion for a long time.
After hearing the report, the three people rushed to the room and saw the damaged wall.
It seems that it was originally designed with an exquisite mechanism. Just turn the torch on the corner of the wall slightly to reverse the wall directly and enter the hidden secret passage...
——But now all this design is meaningless.
Perhaps it is the work of demons and ghosts. This room is also in a mess. The wall of the mechanism itself has also been cut through, revealing the darkness behind it. It is a man-made tunnel with thick rock walls on both sides. It is so narrow that it is only
If two people are allowed to walk side by side, there will be almost no more space.
The corridor is long and narrow, I don’t know where it leads, and there is no light at all.
"There is something deep inside the mountain that is attracting them..."
Tokichiro volunteered and fought against all the odds to get the opportunity to perform. He held a torch and walked in with his guardian spirit, but he came out again after a while and said this with a serious look on his face.
"The monsters on this mountain are probably attracted by that thing, regardless of whether they have brains or not... It's just that it's too deep inside and bigger than I thought. I don't dare to go too far."
Regardless of whether they have brains or not, those things can be attracted by the location in the middle of the mountain, and instinctively find this place, and find the road to the depths of the rocky mountain that is blocked by the entire mansion, which shows that that thing has great natural significance to them.
.
Tokichiro vaguely thought of something. He had already guessed it before, but he couldn't say much after all, and he wouldn't say it clearly if he knew it. He is a truly smart person, and he doesn't look smart but is actually stupid, so of course he understands.
It is not a good thing to judge one's own opinions, and it is even more stupid to show off what one knows.
In that case, no matter whether you guess right or wrong, there will be no good results.
"It's a good thing to find the source. It's better than wandering around in the mountains outside like headless flies..."
Gu Mo looked at the dark corridor behind the wall, nodded, and then spoke.
"That's right..." Tokichiro said dryly, trying to force out a smile. He hesitated for a moment, then looked outside. The soldiers were patrolling or sentrying outside. There were only three of them in this room, so
He took a step closer and lowered his voice——
"Brother Gu Mo, Miss Axiu... I think it's best not to bring too many people together here."
"?"
Gu Mo's expression didn't change much. He just looked at Hidechiyo who was in the secret door and secret passage, and raised his slender and delicate eyebrows.
"That's it. Think about it, this must have been built secretly by Master Dao San. This shows that Master Dao San doesn't want others to know. No matter what is hidden in the belly of the mountain, this must be a very important thing.
..." Fujikiro tried hard to organize his words, but he felt that it was really difficult for him.
You obviously know, but you have to pretend not to know.
While pretending not to know, he also had to think of ways to cover his boss's butt... Even this incident had nothing to do with him, it was just a sudden misfortune. He originally thought that he had finally waited for a great opportunity to stand out, but here he is.
You can have a chance to show off your skills here.
But, the reality is often different from the ideal situation.
For more than half a month, he has not had any place to show off his talents. He was not familiar with the place as expected, and was made things difficult for him by local interest groups in various ways. In the end, the ability and value to show off his skills did not appear. City management
It must be very organized, and it seems to be the same with or without him.
Because he felt that there was nothing indispensable about him, and he was afraid that his value would not be reflected and he would not be appreciated, he was working hard, but he still couldn't find any good method, and at this time,
A big problem has arisen. Maybe he will be implicated just because he happens to be working here.
"That's the truth. He probably did it so secretly because he didn't want others to know..."
Gu Mo nodded calmly and said, agreeing with the reason given by Tokichiro.
Because this statement is reasonable. Since it is a secret that Viper has tried so hard to hide, it is naturally not suitable for too many people to know... These soldiers can only help find the secret door. If they know more clearly,
Not a good thing.
Hidechiyo thought for a moment and nodded. She felt that in this case, there was no need to cause trouble for her old father.
Anyway, although the demonic energy inside is mixed, there is no powerful individual. She can solve it by spending some time by herself... Moreover, even if there is danger, there are problems that she cannot cope with, so with a group of ordinary people,
If people go in, will it really help?
The more people there are, the more burdensome it is.
"Then just the three of us can go in." Gu Mo raised his fist to his mouth, coughed lightly, and said.
Tokichiro's expression changed slightly again. He smiled awkwardly but politely. He tried his best to give a very honest smile and touched the back of his head: "How about I don't go either? I'll lead them outside to clean up the other people on the mountain.
Just be a monster... I can't help you anyway."
He said this just to get himself out.
The secret inside is so important, Master Daosan deliberately built a mansion to hide it, so it is not suitable for outsiders to know... Not only did the soldiers not be able to enter, he also did not intend to be so desperate, and if those soldiers were all
If you don't go in, he will follow you in...
As an outsider, wouldn't it be more conspicuous!
Wouldn't it appear that he was shrinking in the face of battle and afraid of death? The monkey was very worried and felt that he was really unlucky. While he was saying it, he carefully peeked at the other person's face, for fear that he would stay.
Made a bad impression.
However, Gu Mo nodded very happily, as if he was not dissatisfied at all——
"Okay! Then I'll leave the outside to you. Axiu and I can go in alone."
Hidechiyo is the real one. Even in the game, Monkey has always been the NPC who leads the missions and plots. Gu Mo didn't count on him in the first place.
……
……
After a while.
Walking along the corridor behind the wall, walking on the narrow artificial road, Gu Mo and the black-haired girl walked quietly in the area illuminated by the fire. He paid very careful attention to his steps. The further he went, the artificial
The traces become more rough and crude, and eventually disappear.
The interior of the mountain is originally hollow, and there is a huge natural cave. The artificial passage is just a road that can be connected from the mansion to the internal space of the mountain. The rest is the miraculous work of nature...
…
After all, it is impossible for Saito Dōzo to have someone hollow it out by himself. The amount of work is unimaginable.
Gu Mo held the torch and could vaguely see the winding rock steps in front of him. They went down the stone wall and submerged into the deep darkness below. On the road he was walking, there was a thick mountain on one side and an abyss on the other side.
, a large or small natural stalactite hanging upside down.
Cold, damp, and dark.
After all, the lighting range of the torch is limited, and the shadows drag in the firelight in a weird way, as if a monster with claws and teeth is lurking in the darkness, shadowy, and the atmosphere becomes weird unconsciously, which makes people feel a little hairy.
Maybe it’s because there is no longer the noisy and lively atmosphere of forming groups to open up wasteland and having voice channels?
Gu Mo thought like this. There was no longer a large group of people following behind him. He heard their heavy footsteps, the noise of armors and weapons clashing and rubbing. Naturally, there was no more courageous BUFF bonus... Axiu was very good.
, it’s just too quiet.
She basically doesn't make any sound. The lack of sound refers to all actions, even walking without any movement——
If he hadn't been able to see her, Gu Mo couldn't help but have the illusion, suspecting that he was actually walking alone in such a ghost place... Well, there is also a big fox.
The black-haired girl, who was walking briskly and seemed as if she was walking on flat ground even in such precipitous terrain, suddenly stopped. She took the long bow from behind, opened the bow and nocked an arrow, and shot out with an arrow. The whole process was very fast, and she seemed to be aiming.
No need, just omit the past.
A roaring sound was heard, followed by the muffled sound of heavy objects hitting the ground.
From the stalactite hanging upside down in front of the head, a five to six meter long snake suddenly fell down. The upper body of the woman also had long hair and was wet all over. The arrow accurately inserted into its forehead, and the fatal blow had already taken the victim.
It took its life.
Although it was fatally injured, the centipede insect remained dead but not stiff. Its strong vitality made its heavy and huge body dance wildly on the spot, and its tail hit the ground or the stone pillar next to it, making a dull sound.
Amazing strength.
It bounced around like this for a while, and then gradually stopped moving.
The black-haired girl walked past the corpse without even looking at it. To her, this was just a normal episode. Gu Mo also followed closely, watching Ru Nu's health bar clearing, no matter what.
It was displayed again, but there was no light gathering, and it was obvious that nothing had been exploded. Of course, he would not stay too long.
It was like this all the way, because the road was rugged and winding, with extremely twists and turns, and there was a cliff on one side. If you accidentally slipped, it would be another story. Therefore, Gu Mo was not able to grab the head, knowing that here
Since there is no room for him to perform, he will naturally not ask Hidechiyo to give him the chance to fight.
In this case, the efficiency of propulsion becomes extremely high.
Regardless of whether it is the nuns coiled on the stalactites above or the demons hidden in the ordinary world, whether Gu Mo has discovered something or not, Axiu can always locate them accurately and easily.
Kill it instantly.
The journey was smooth and smooth, as if there were no obstacles.
"Axiu, look there, there is a shrine there... It should have been built here by your father."
After walking down a dangerously steep road, Gu Mo found that he could finally see the scene below. It seemed that they were close to the bottom. Some strange light was flickering, faintly illuminating the entire underground space. It was a faint light.
The brilliance of golden essence.
I don’t know why, but there seem to be a lot of fragmented spiritual stones scattered on the ground. These crystals containing strange energy are of different sizes, and their blooming glow is the main light source of the underground space.
A small river criss-crosses, with countless branches spreading like a spider web...
But it is not underground water, but a green viscous liquid all over the body. Bubbles are still bubbling on the surface, exuding a green smell that can be seen with the naked eye. The visual effect alone makes people feel full of corrosiveness. What do you think of it?
Chemical reagents.
It should be the venom of the Night Sword God that has formed this small underground river over the years. The poison of the giant snake is also part of the protection here. Gu Mo knows this very well. And on the river formed by the venom,
There are traces of construction again, and the trestles are connected to form roads, so there is no way to go.
At the end of the road, a building hidden behind clusters of stalactites appeared vaguely, with a torii gate, a shrine, and a rope... It turned out to be a shrine built in the underground space of the mountain and never seen from the sun.
Hidechiyo withdrew her gaze and nodded slightly. She also thought this was the case because her eyesight was better, and she could not only see outlines, but also many details.
This shrine still looks very new. It is not an ancient ruin left over from some time ago. It should have been built in the past two years. It may be the same project as the gorgeous mansion above. Of course, it can only be built in the past two years.
It’s my father’s handiwork.
What is the hidden thing? It seems that we already have the answer...
This strong fluctuation of spiritual stone power...
She withdrew her eyes from the messy golden crystal fragments of various sizes scattered on the ground below, and looked in the direction of the shrine again. There was an extremely strong and mixed evil spirit there. A large number of evil spirits gathered there, and there was a strong
The smell of blood.
…………
"Master Daosan, they are here, they are above..."
"Well, I understand."
In the secret passage, Saito Douzan listened to the report of his most trusted confidant and raised his hand slightly with a complicated expression. His test was about to come, so he felt a little conflicted, although he hated that hateful face very much.
The guy who kidnapped his precious daughter, but he didn’t want the other person to be able to pass this test.
It's not a test of combat effectiveness, monsters and ghosts have never been the focus.
The point is that all the spiritual stones he has collected over the years are placed on it, and the huge number is unimaginable to ordinary people.
"Boy, don't let me down..." Saito Douzan sighed to himself, and then turned to look at the black-haired girl next to him. "Yilong, take a good look, too.
Just like Oda Nobunaga, I have consulted your opinion, and now this boy is no exception."
Long black hair, moles at the corners of her eyes, clear rose-red eyes, as beautiful as rubies...
A girl who looks exactly like Hidechiyo.
She nodded calmly and lowered her eyes: "Okay, Father."
