Not far ahead, we encountered another fork in the road.
Anyway, he didn't know where these roads would lead, so Chu Tianshu chose one at random.
However, before leaving the fork in the road, he made a mark with his fingernail in an inconspicuous place under the wall.
The further you go, the more complicated the road becomes, with many forks, like a maze.
Even with Chu Tianshu's outstanding sense of direction, he was a little dizzy.
Fortunately, he had encountered this complex environment many times before, so he was considered experienced and had left marks on all the forks he passed in advance.
Otherwise, Chu Tianshu is not sure whether he can still find the way he came.
After staying down there for a short twenty minutes, when Chu Tianshu was thinking about the entrance to the warehouse above and was about to return for fear of being discovered, another fork in the road appeared in front of him.
This fork in the road was different from the ones he had encountered before.
On the left is the straight path forward, and on the right are the steps going up.
Chu Tianshu hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't suppress his curiosity and decided to explore the situation on the steps.
Chu Tianshu walked up the steps, only to find that there was no road in front of him, but a wall.
Chu Tianshu said angrily: "What are you doing? There is no road, and you want to build a special step?"
After much thought, Chu Tianshu felt that the person who designed the secret passage wouldn't be so boring, right?
Is it just for fun to put so much effort into designing a staircase here?
So, he stepped forward and carefully observed the wall in front of him.
From left to right, top to bottom, Chu Tianshu looked very carefully, not missing any detail.
Just when Chu Tianshu checked the entire wall but found nothing, and was about to leave, he suddenly inadvertently discovered that the cracks around a brick on the upper right seemed to be loose.
If you don't look carefully, you really can't tell.
Chu Tianshu's heart moved. He stretched out his right hand, pressed down on the brick, and pressed down hard.
Sure enough, there seemed to be some mechanical spring hidden under the brick. Chu Tianshu pressed it hard and pushed the brick down.
Then, Chu Tianshu saw the wall in front of him shaking.
He pushed gently, and the wall in front of him opened like a door.
The moment he opened the door, the light from outside came in, and Chu Tianshu's eyes were instantly filled with light.
Although he missed the entrance above very much, he was really unwilling to let Chu Tianshu give up after exploring this step.
After hesitating for a moment, Chu Tianshu walked in.
Behind the wall that opened like a door, there was still no way, just a wall.
There is a hole the size of a walnut in the wall, and light pours in from that hole.
Chu Tianshu listened carefully for a moment to make sure there was no movement outside.
Then he stepped forward and looked out of the small hole.
Outside, there is a wide space. There are many tablets placed against the wall on one side, and incense candles are burning below.
It looks like an ancestral temple or something.
Inside the ancestral hall, there was no one.
Chu Tianshu was about to leave when he suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside.
He didn't know the other party's level of cultivation, so Chu Tianshu hurriedly held his breath and tried to slow down his breathing rhythm to avoid being noticed by the other party.
What came in was a handsome young man dressed all in black.
The young man was very alert and a little sneaky. After entering, he checked everywhere in the ancestral hall, even the space behind the tablets and behind the surrounding curtains.
After checking the entire ancestral hall, the young man came to the corner of the ancestral hall and stood in a direction where he could not easily be noticed by the outside world.
From the look of him, he looked like he was waiting for a secret meeting with someone?
Could it be that I could happen to hear something secret?
Thinking of this, Chu Tianshu suppressed his anxiety and waited silently.
About four or five minutes later, someone else entered the ancestral hall.
The person who entered this time was a woman in her thirties, with a charming face and a graceful figure.
Although she is not young, she is well maintained and has a good temperament, so she is charming and can still easily arouse men's inner desires.
The charming woman carefully closed the door, twisted her waist like a water snake, walked to the memorial tablet, lit a bunch of incense, and inserted it into the incense burner.
His behavior and movements were very casual, and there was no trace of solemnity in his expression.
After putting on the incense, she walked towards the young man next to her and said with a frivolous smile: "Why don't you come to me? Am I a ferocious beast?"
The young man frowned and said in a deep voice, "Didn't I tell you that it's not convenient for me to see you recently?"
The charming woman said: "No one usually comes here, and I have left a close confidant on guard. What are you afraid of?"
The young man said anxiously: "Don't beat around the bush."
"Okay, okay." The charming woman gave the young man a charming look, "You can guess it even if I don't tell you, it's just something I asked you to do before."
"Do you want the city lord to reuse your husband?"
The young man said expressionlessly: "He is the son of the city lord. As long as he performs well in front of the city lord, the city lord will naturally reuse him. Do I need my master to come forward for this kind of thing?"
He said, with a bit of anger in his words: "Do you think it is appropriate for my master to interfere in the city lord's family affairs? Do you think my master will listen to me about this kind of thing? Are you afraid that my master will not notice the relationship between us?
thing?"
Seeing this, the charming woman's expression turned cold: "Jusword City is affiliated to Renyin Palace, and your master was sent to Jusword City by the hand of Palace Master Fang. Every word he said in front of the Palace Master was very important.
To a large extent, it can influence Palace Master Fang’s attitude towards the City Lord. Do you dare to say that your master cannot influence the City Lord?”
She stretched out a jade finger and poked the young man's chest: "You clearly don't take my affairs to heart."
The charming woman said angrily: "If it had been in the past, I would not be in a hurry, but you have also seen the city lord's attitude towards the second master today. You really want to hand over the entire Jusword City to the second master. Besides, the city lord's son is not only
I have a husband. If he doesn’t increase his weight in the city lord’s heart, what chance will he have in the future? Do you think I can take my time?”
The young man said helplessly: "I know you are anxious, but as I said, even if I want to help, I can only speak for your husband in front of my master at the right time, deepen my master's good impression of him, and then influence
To see how the city lord treats your husband, this kind of thing cannot be rushed, so I can’t make it too obvious."
The charming woman hummed: "If you had said that earlier and let me know that you would do your best, would I still be so anxious?"
A flash of disdain flashed across the young man's face: "Do you think, based on your family's ability, that he can take the position of Lord of the Great Sword City even if he is given the position?"
"Isn't it still you and me? Even if your master returns to Renyin Palace in the future, he will most likely find a way to keep you in Jusword City. With my brain and your help, there is no need to worry about his city lord's
The seat is not stable."
The charming woman snuggled into the young man's arms and said with charming eyes: "When the time comes, the power of Jusword City will be in your and my hands. Why don't we just meet whenever we want?"
