Xiong Lin also had some uncertainty in his eyes, but after thinking honestly for a while, he said firmly.
"If I really forgot something, I should have an impression of this kind of thing. Moreover, those four old guys should at least know some traces. Look, this secret passage is obviously in the yard where they live.
Inside, they have never had any trouble. But how did Xiao Lei and Xiao Ling find out?"
Xiong Lin was secretly puzzled, and Lin Mengya did not continue to mention it.
The location they were in was the courtyard where the elders lived.
However, the entrance to the tunnel is in a room where ancestral tablets are enshrined.
When Xiao Lei and Xiao Ling brought them over, Xiong Lin was really shocked.
No one thought that such a secret was hidden under the altar table where the ancestors' tablets were enshrined.
"I'll go down first, Ya'er behind me, Qinghu behind Ya'er."
Holding the torch, Long Tianyu pushed open the entrance of the secret passage.
The altar table was moved to the side, and the half-person-high entrance opened in the wall was dark inside, without any light.
Lin Mengya couldn't help but stretched out her hand and grabbed Long Tianyu's sleeve.
"Be careful."
She knew that Long Tianyu arranged this for her safety, but she still couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Patting her hand, Long Tianyu gave his beloved wife a comforting smile.
The intuition he developed over the years told him that there shouldn't be any hidden weapon here.
Seeing him bend down and enter the entrance, Lin Mengya couldn't help but feel her heart twitch.
One minute, two minutes and five minutes passed, but there was no movement inside. Lin Mengya couldn't help but stand at the door, looking inside with concern.
"Don't worry, it's okay."
Qinghu patted her shoulder and comforted her softly.
Finally, just before Lin Mengya's patience was about to run out, Long Tianyu's voice came from inside.
"There's nothing inside, you can come down now."
Without enough time to respond, Lin Mengya took the lead and got into the door.
Qinghu held a torch and entered behind her. Soon, Lin Mengya walked to Long Tianyu's side.
However, at this moment he was facing a choice.
Ahead, there are three forked roads.
"what to do?"
Long Tianyu turned around and asked the people behind him. The three roads looked similar at present. They were all pitch black. Moreover, he had already explored a certain distance separately before and found that there was no danger, so he spent a little time.
Lin Mengya and others didn't expect it, but now that they are here, it's better to see it clearly.
She decided at that moment that she and Long Tianyu would go to the middle road, while Qing Qing Hu, and Xiong Lin are each in a group, responsible for one tunnel on the left and one on the right.
The four of them parted ways at a fork in the road. Long Tianyu held Lin Mengya's hand tightly and walked toward the unknown secret passage.
Although people can easily lose their way in the dark secret passage, Lin Mengya, who owns the Shennong System, had already scanned the map of the entire village into the system before entering.
Now, they are walking to the east of the village.
The system showed that the tunnel was getting deeper and deeper, but what was amazing was that they didn't feel any obstruction in breathing.
The torch was swaying, but it was burning very vigorously. It seemed that there must be wind ahead.
This is strange. According to the system's records, their destination should be one of the mountains surrounding the entire village.
Could it be——
Long Tianyu quickened his pace. The two of them walked for who knows how long before they finally appeared at the exit of the secret passage.
It was a dark door, about as tall as a person.
Long Tianyu signaled her to step back, then cautiously stepped forward, stretched out his hand and touched it.
"It's Shimen."
Nodding, Lin Mengya followed and walked to the stone gate.
Long Tianyu had carefully inspected it just now. There was no mechanism here. Although the door was not smooth and flat, there was nothing that could be used to open it.
Looking up and down without giving up, Lin Mengya discovered that the lower end of the door actually extended into the ground.
In other words, this may be a door that cannot be opened.
After digging, the soil under the stone door was very hard. Even if her fingers were broken, she couldn't dig it open.
They shook their heads helplessly. Unexpectedly, the road they chose was actually a dead end.
"Is it just used to confuse people?"
Long Tianyu stood in front of the stone door. No matter whether he pushed hard or thought of other ways, the stone door remained motionless.
"It seems so. Look at the soil underneath. This stone door seems to have never been opened."
Lin Mengya pulled Long Tianyu and illuminated the bottom of the stone gate with a torch. Long Tianyu took out the dagger he carried with him and stabbed it hard into the soil.
Who knows, no matter what angle the palm-long sharp blade is used at, it can't reach the bottom of the stone door.
It seems that it is buried very deep.
"But this is also possible. If a foreign enemy invades, this place can be a good cover."
This possibility is not impossible, but Long Tianyu himself thinks it is very unlikely.
Its tiny.
If it is really a cover-up, then there should be at least some mechanisms here, and the fork leading to this place will be made more conspicuous than the other two, making people feel at a glance that this is the most important place.
The right place.
For example, put some mechanisms at the other two intersections that are not powerful, but are enough to deter people.
But he had checked it all, and found nothing.
If not, then wouldn't it be a bit unnecessary if there is a stone door that doesn't open for a moment?
Lin Mengya raised the torch and looked around carefully. .??.
The cave wall is not very smooth, and when they came here just now, the passages were large and small, and there was no pattern.
She didn't understand these excavation techniques, but there was neither lighting equipment nor any special markings in the secret passage.
It really looks like a tunnel made by ordinary people to take refuge.
However, she looked around and felt something was wrong.
"Tianyu, if the tunnel is used to hide, then at least some food will be hidden, or there will be specific divisions of some areas, right?"
She turned around and asked, and Long Tianyu thought for a while before answering her.
"It's true. When we were at the border in the past, we also saw the people there digging tunnels to defend themselves against foreign enemies. As you said, not only were some emergency supplies hidden, but the living areas also had very detailed
It’s divided. Here, it’s just a passage.”
She knew that Long Tianyu also discovered something unusual here.
In other words, the secret passage here is okay for escaping, but it would be a bit difficult to hide.
While the two people were talking, footsteps suddenly sounded outside.
They immediately shut up and leaned in the corner, keeping their torches close to the wall, trying to make themselves as inconspicuous as possible.
Long Tianyu even pinched his dagger, and if anything went wrong, he would immediately let the person's blood splatter three feet away.
The first figure gradually appeared, and the light lengthened its shadow, making it difficult to recognize its specific appearance.
Lin Mengya clearly felt that Long Tianyu's breath gradually became very low, and then she heard another voice.
"How will you be here?"
It’s Xiong Lin!
"I walked over here and ended up here."
The other one turned out to be Qing Hu.
Lin Mengya immediately breathed a sigh of relief, it was just a false alarm.
The two people immediately walked out of the corner.
However, Qinghu and Xiong Lin looked very surprised when they saw the two of them appear.
"What are you doing? it's here?"
Huh? The two people asked in unison.
Lin Mengya suddenly felt that the situation was a bit strange. If she was not here, where else could she be?
The four of them looked at me, and I looked at you. In the end, Lin Mengya couldn't help but speak.
"Didn't you two go to another fork in the road? Why did you appear behind us?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Qinghu said angrily.
"I kept walking along the fork on the left. I also encountered a lot of forks on the road, but many of them were exits in the village. Later, I walked along the tunnels that were not exits and walked to
here."
After he finished speaking, Xiong Lin also continued.
However, his experience was similar to Qinghu's. When he kept encountering forks in the road, he chose the path that was not the exit and continued walking.
When Lin Mengya heard this, she felt a little strange.
Because when she walked with Long Tianyu before, she didn't find any intersection.
Could it be that they came through the wall?
"Then, which intersection did you come from, do you still remember?"
"Isn't it just here - hey, why isn't it there?"
Qinghu casually pointed in a direction, but what he didn't expect was that there was indeed a dark cave wall there, and there was no intersection somewhere.
He rubbed his eyes and turned around to touch them unwillingly.
It's hard and cold, and it doesn't look like it can be walked through at all.
Xiong Lin also turned his head, and suddenly, a lot of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
What's going on? The intersection he came to is nowhere to be seen?
A layer of cold sweat broke out on the four people's backs.
This kind of thing is too weird, right?
"We won't encounter ghosts, right?"
Xiong Lin whispered, his eyes widening.
However, even Lin Mengya was at a loss at this time.
Fortunately, she had encountered quite a few abnormal events before, so she calmed down and said.
"Let's go back along this road and see if we can't get out."
The four people walked along the middle road together, but unlike when they came, they were calm and calm. At this time, the four people could not help but have some various speculations in their minds.
Fortunately, nothing changed on the way back.
After they returned to the hut where the ancestors' tablets were placed, the four of them all felt a little bit frightened.
Especially Qinghu and Xiong Lin, they can be said to be extremely bold, but despite this, they still have some instinctive fear of the dark tunnel.
