The crisp sound of the mechanism reached Chu Tianhe's ears, and he saw the old woman leading Chu Tianhe forward for a certain distance, and opened a secret door in a hidden corner behind the bar counter, with a dark wind blowing inside.
The steps slope downward, and the walls on both sides of the passage are inlaid with candlesticks. I don’t know what is fused into the candles, but the flames that emerge are actually blue!
"Go down, she's waiting for you inside!"
The old woman's hoarse voice sounded behind Chu Tianhe, and the smile on her face looked unusually eerie and eerie against the wrinkled skin.
Faced with this situation, most people would definitely not dare to go down the mysterious steps that slope downward. After all, it all looks too weird!
But Chu Tianhe is an exception. As the saying goes, people with high skills are bold. Even though he has noticed that the situation here is unusual, Chu Tianhe does not have the slightest fear in his heart. Looking at the mysterious steps sloping downward in front of him,
Chu Tianhe didn't even say any nonsense, he just raised his feet and walked in!
"Rumble..."
However, just after Chu Tianhe stepped into the steps, the secret door at the top suddenly closed. Chu Tianhe turned around like lightning. Only at the moment when the secret door closed, he saw the old woman's strange smile through the gap, and that
A twisted and sinister face!
In an instant, Chu Tianhe frowned and looked at the closed secret door without stopping too much. Since he had already come in, he might as well go straight down and see where the underground secret passage leads to.
Why would Youruo invite herself to a place like this!
"Pap...pap..."
In the dark and narrow passage, water droplets fell and echoed in the corridor for a long time. Chu Tianhe went all the way down and finally came to the end of the passage, only to see a huge underground space suddenly appearing in front of him.
"Mr. Chu, my lady has been waiting for you for a long time!"
Immediately after coming down from the Chutian River, a stooped old man came to greet him carrying a kerosene lantern.
"Your lady?"
Seeing this old man, Chu Tianhe frowned suddenly. After looking carefully, he saw that this old man was about sixty years old. He was just like the old woman he met in the bar before. His face was full of wrinkles and he looked like
He was very old, and there was a bulge on the old man's back, which made him stooped and unable to straighten up, which made him even more ghostly and abnormal!
"Oh, my lady is Nangong Youruo!"
Seeing Chu Tianhe's confused question, the old man quickly explained: "I am the old butler of the Nangong family, nicknamed Ghost Master, and I also open this bar."
After hearing the old man's words, Chu Tianhe suddenly realized that no wonder this bar was called Gui Ye Bar. It turned out that the name came from here!
"Mr. Chu, please come this way!"
The ghost man was hunched over, holding a kerosene lantern in one hand, and he led Chu Tianhe forward. As he walked, he said: "In these years, the young lady has been locked up in a deep-sea prison. We, the old couple, have thought of many ways.
We went to rescue her but failed. Thanks to Mr. Chu's intervention, my young lady was freed. You are the benefactor of our Nangong family!"
"I can't talk about my benefactor!" Chu Tianhe frowned and said in a deep voice, "I rescued her because I had other plans!"
Faced with Master Gui's gratitude, Chu Tianhe did not hide anything. To be honest, he rescued Nangong Youruo just because he wanted Nangong Youruo to serve the Pantheon, not for any other reason!
Therefore, there is no need for the ghost master to express his gratitude!
"No matter what your plan is, you have finally brought our lady back from the deep-sea prison!" Although Chu Tianhe said that there was no need to thank him, the ghost master's attitude towards Chu Tianhe was still very respectful, and the two of them continued to go.
