Chapter 2391 This is the efforts of the whole town
The sound of cursing outside the door was mixed with the continuous sound of explosions.
Just when the iron plate was about to be destroyed, several fierce fire thunders struck the iron plate again.
The outermost iron plate had been destroyed by this time.
If these dead soldiers want to destroy the remaining layers of iron plates, it is only a matter of time.
At this time, from when Gu Yuan appeared on this street and Mrs. Wang grabbed his wrist, to when Ji Jiu pulled Gu Yuan into the blacksmith shop.
Only half a cup of tea has passed!
Everything goes too fast.
"My benefactor, time is running out, let's escape from here."
Ji Jiu said and pressed a few more times in the hidden compartment.
An iron plate in the middle of the bluestone floor first moved downwards, and then slowly descended, revealing a descending stone step.
"My dear benefactor, there is a tunnel leading to the back mountain outside Kaoshan Town. Let's escape quickly."
"When we escape to the back mountain and use the flying magic weapon to leave, we will be completely safe."
Ji Jiu originally didn't know that Gu Yuan had a flying magic weapon.
According to his original idea, he wanted Gu Yuan to leave alone along the tunnel.
And he stayed to block the pursuing dead soldiers and buy Gu Yuanduo some time to escape.
Now that Gu Yuan has handed him the flying magic weapon, he has hope of living, and he even speaks with more momentum.
Gu Yuan looked at this deep tunnel and asked in surprise:
"This secret passage leads to the back mountain?
How big of a project would that be?
How did your Ji family accomplish this?"
It's definitely not a coincidence that this tunnel appeared here, and it couldn't have been dug to save Gu Yuan.
There is still moss growing on the stone steps of the tunnel, and it looks like they were dug many years ago.
Kaoshan Town is an unremarkable small town, but it is a little more prosperous.
This blacksmith shop is quite satisfactory. How could such a tunnel exist?
This is too much of a coincidence.
Ji Jiu smiled honestly, "This is not the credit of my Ji family, but the efforts of the whole town!"
"My benefactor, as I mentioned to you before, there was a group of evil cultivators hiding in the mountains near here in the early years."
"There are so many of them that they often come to Kaoshan Town to rob."
"Not only did they steal rice, noodles, and property, but they also robbed living people to practice evil arts! They really did all sorts of bad things, and everyone in this town hates them."
"Every household in the town dug tunnels and arranged warning guards to patrol day and night."
"As soon as there is any disturbance, everyone will run along the tunnel without leaving any hair for them!"
Gu Yuan asked in surprise: "Don't the dead soldiers outside know about such a big thing?
Why don't they follow the tunnel?"
Ji Jiu chuckled: "This happened before I was born. Later, people from the imperial court destroyed that group of evil cultivators, and these tunnels were forgotten by everyone."
"It must have been more than fifty years since then, right?"
"Even the people in Kaoshan Town have forgotten that there is this tunnel. Who outside still remembers this?"
"Besides, those dead soldiers outside are not locals to this town."
"They're not even from Qingcheng Mountain, so I'm not sure where the Liu family recruited them from."
Gu Yuan asked again: "Then the people in Liujiabao don't know about this tunnel?"
Ji Jiu said uncertainly: "I guess you don't know, right?"
"More than fifty years have passed, who still remembers so much?"
"The person in charge of the Liu family didn't come. Only a few deacons like me who had no say in the matter came to show up. Not even an elder from the inner sect came!"
Gu Yuan was stunned instinctively, "The person in charge of the Liu family didn't come?
What are they doing?"
"No, if their leader didn't come, then there must be follow-up plans to intercept and kill me this time."
Ji Jiu didn't have so many ideas. When he heard what Gu Yuan said, he instinctively felt that something was wrong.
"I don't know about that. Even though my legs were chopped off by my benefactor, they didn't shy away from me when they talked about it."
"But I really haven't heard what follow-up plans they have."
Ji Jiu thought for a moment and then said.
"But before I came here, I heard Deacon Liu Yonghao say that these fierce fire thunders should not be a problem against you. He also told the newly elected great elder to relax!"
Gu Yuan frowned and said, "If you think about it again, is there anything wrong with them?
Or did something big happen in Liujiabao?"
Ji Jiu obviously didn't pay attention to this, "Big deal?
It seems like it’s really no big deal.”
Gu Yuan had no choice but to change his mind: "Then, are there any other people with high cultivation level in Liujiabao?"
Ji Jiu scratched the back of his head, "It does exist, but I haven't seen it before. I have heard from the elders before that there are several ancestors in Liujiabao who are in retreat."
"Ancestor?"
Gu Yuan raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose. How could the Liu family be in a relationship with the unbeatable Xiaoqiang?
Ancestors one after another?
"What kind of cultivation level do their ancestors have?
did you know?"
"I don't know about this, it should be the peak of the golden elixir, right?
I just heard the elders say in a boastful tone that several ancestors who are in retreat are attacking the Nascent Soul Mirror!"
Ji Jiu had an envious look on his face, for him and most people.
This is an unattainable realm, like a god-like existence.
Gu Yuan nodded slightly. The ancestor of the Liu family was only at the peak of the golden elixir, so he was absolutely sure of a fight.
At this moment, another violent explosion sounded.
"My dear friend, let's go quickly. If you hesitate any longer, this iron plate will break."
Ji Jiu first handed the torch to Gu Yuan.
He picked up another torch and walked ahead, taking the lead down the stone steps to lead the way for Gu Yuan.
When he turned around and saw that Gu Yuan was still where he was, not following him down, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"My dear friend, this tunnel is complicated and connected to many houses in the town. After you come down with me, you must follow me closely and don't get lost."
Gu Yuan walked forward while looking at his surroundings.
This tunnel is dug in all directions, and a person walking in the tunnel can walk straight without even bending down.
"This road has so many forks and has been abandoned for a long time. How come you are so familiar with it?"
Ji Jiu chuckled, "My dear friend, when I was a child, I and my neighbor's son played in this tunnel every day. I am more familiar with this tunnel than at home!"
Gu Yuan was a little confused, what was so interesting about this tunnel?
You have to hold a torch to get in, and there is nothing else but a fork in the road.
"To tell you the truth, my wife's home is in the north of the city..."
Gu Yuan knew it in his heart, no wonder it was so familiar.
"Can this tunnel also lead to the store next to yours?"
"Yes, yes, you can follow me and take two steps down and you will see that there are forks in the road here."
"Look, benefactor, that road is the way to the rice paste shop west of my house."
"This road is the way to the sugar shop east of my house."
Ji Jiu led the way and turned around to introduce Gu Yuan.
