Xiong Lin's eyes were also a little uncertain, but he thought honestly for a while before he said firmly.

"If I really forgot anything, I should have an impression of this kind of thing. Besides, those four old fellows should know at least some of them. You see, this secret passage is clearly in the courtyard where they live, but they have never had any trouble. However, how did Xiao Lei and Xiao Ling know? ”

Xiong Lin was secretly puzzled, and Lin Mengya did not continue to mention it.

The location where they were located was the courtyard where the elders had lived.

It's just that the entrance to the tunnel is in a room dedicated to the ancestral tablets.

When Xiao Lei and Xiao Ling brought them over, Xiong Lin was really startled.

No one would have thought that under the offering table dedicated to the ancestral tablet, there was such a secret hidden.

"I'll go down first, Ya'er is behind me, and Qinghu is behind Ya'er."

Holding the torch, Long Tianyu pushed open the entrance of the secret passage.

The offering table was moved aside, and the half-man-high entrance was open in the wall, and the inside was black and empty, without half a ray of light.

Lin Mengya couldn't help but reach out and grabbed Long Tianyu's cuffs.

"Be careful."

She knew that Long Tianyu arranged this way for her safety, but she couldn't help but be a little worried.

Patting her hand, Long Tianyu gave his beloved wife a comforting smile.

The instincts he had developed over the years told him that it didn't look like some kind of hidden weapon.

Seeing him bend down and enter the entrance, Lin Mengya couldn't help but tug up her heart.

One minute, two minutes... 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 fine."

Qinghu patted her on the 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 in there, you can come down."

didn't have time to respond, Lin Mengya took the lead in getting into the door.

Qinghu entered behind her with a torch, and soon, Lin Mengya walked to Long Tianyu's side.

At the moment, though, he was faced with a choice.

Ahead, there are three forks in the road.

"What should I do?"

Long Tianyu turned around and asked the people behind him, these three roads looked similar at the moment, they were all pitch black, and he had already explored a distance before and found that there was no danger, so it took a little time.

Lin Mengya didn't expect it, but since she came, she still had to see it clearly.

It was decided at the moment that she was in a group with Long Tianyu and walked to the middle road, while Qinghu and Xiong Lin were each in a group to be responsible for the tunnels on the left and the right.

The four of them parted ways at the fork in the road, Long Tianyu held Lin Mengya's hand tightly and walked towards the unknown secret passage.

Although people are in the dark secret passages and are easy to get lost, Lin Mengya, who has the Shennong system, has already swept the map of the entire village into the system long before entering.

Now, they were heading east of the village.

The system showed that the tunnels were now getting deeper and deeper, but amazingly, they didn't feel like they were getting obstructed from breathing.

The torches were shaking, but they were burning vigorously, and it seemed that there should be wind ahead.

Strange to mention, 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 didn't know how long they had walked, and finally appeared at the exit of the secret passage.

It was a dark gate, about a man tall.

Long Tianyu motioned for her to step back, stepped forward cautiously, stretched out and touched it.

"It's the stone gate."

Nodding, Lin Mengya also followed and walked to the front of the stone gate.

Long Tianyu had carefully checked it just now, there was no mechanism here, although the door was not very smooth and flat, but there was nothing that could be opened with the help of force.

Looking up and down without giving up, Lin Mengya found that the lower end of this door actually extended into the ground.

That is, it could be a door that can't be opened.

Digging the soil under the stone door, it was very hard, anyway, even if her finger was broken, it couldn't be dug up.

Shaking his head helplessly, he didn't expect that the path they chose was actually a dead end.

"Is it just to deceive people?"

Long Tianyu stood in front of the stone gate, whether he pushed hard or thought of other ways, but the stone gate still didn't move.

"Looks like yes, look at the dirt underneath. This stone door should have never been opened. ”

Lin Mengya pulled Long Tianyu and shone the light under the stone gate with a torch, Long Tianyu took out the dagger he carried with him and thrust it into the dirt.

Who knows, the palm-long blade can't reach the bottom of the stone gate at any angle.

It seems that it is buried very deeply.

"But it's also possible, if it's a foreign invasion, it's a good way to cover it up."

This possibility is not impossible, but Long Tianyu himself thinks it is very small.

If it is really a trick, then there should be at least some mechanism here, and the fork in the road leading to this place will be more conspicuous than the other two, making people feel at a glance that this is the most correct place.

For example, put some traps on the other two crossings that are not powerful, but are enough to be prohibitive.

But he'd probed it all, but he didn't.

If not, then wouldn't it be a bit redundant to have a stone gate here that doesn't open in a flash?

Lin Mengya raised the torch and carefully observed the surroundings.

The walls of the cave were not very smooth, and when they came just now, the passages were large and small, and there was no regularity.

She didn't know how to dig, but there was no lighting equipment or special markings in the secret passage.

It's like a tunnel that ordinary people have made out to take refuge.

However, she looked left and right, and felt that something was wrong.

"Tianyu, if it will be used to hide in the tunnel, then at least some food will be hidden, or the specific division of some areas, right?"

She turned her head and asked, Long Tianyu thought about it before answering her words.

"That's true, that's right, when we were at the border in the past, we also saw the common people there digging tunnels to defend against foreign enemies. As you said, not only are there some emergency supplies, but the living area is also very well demarcated. Here, it's just a passageway. ”

She knew that Long Tianyu had also discovered the anomaly here.

In other words, the secret passage here is okay to escape, but if you want to hide, it is a little difficult.

While the two were talking, footsteps suddenly sounded outside.

They immediately shut up and leaned against the corner, their torches pressed against the wall, trying to make themselves as inconspicuous as possible.

Long Tianyu even pinched his dagger, and as long as there was something wrong, he immediately made the blood of the person who came splash three feet.

The first figure gradually appeared, and the light elongated the shadow of the other party, making people a little unrecognizable.

Lin Mengya obviously felt that Long Tianyu's breath was gradually lowering, and then, she heard another voice.

"Why are you here?"

It's Xiong Lin!

"I'm here when I come here."

The other one is actually Qinghu.

Lin Mengya immediately breathed a sigh of relief, it was just a false alarm.

The two men immediately stepped out of the corner.

However, Qinghu and Xiong Lin were very surprised when they saw the two of them appear.

"Why are you here?"

Hey? The two men asked in unison.

Lin Mengya suddenly felt that the situation was a little weird, she was not here, where else was she going to be?

Four people, you look at me, I look at you, in the end, Lin Mengya couldn't help but speak.

"Didn't you two go to another fork in the road? How can it be behind us? ”

As soon as her words fell, Qinghu said angrily.

"I followed the fork on the left, and there were quite a few forks on the way, but many of them were exits in the village. Later, I walked down the tunnels that weren't exits and came to this place. ”

After he finished speaking, Xiong Lin also said.

However, his experience is similar to Qinghu's, when he keeps encountering forks in the road, he chooses the road that is not the exit and continues to walk.

When Lin Mengya heard this, she felt a little strange.

Because when she walked over with Long Tianyu before, she didn't find any intersections.

Could it be that they came through the walls?

"So, which intersection did you come from, do you remember?"

"Isn't it just in—huh, why not?"

Qinghu casually pointed in a direction, but what he didn't expect was that there was indeed a dark cave wall, and there was no intersection there.

He rubbed his eyes and touched it reluctantly.

It's hard, it's cold, and it doesn't look like you can walk through it at all.

Xiong Lin also turned his head, and all of a sudden, a lot of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

What's the matter, the intersection he walked to, why is it gone?

A layer of cold sweat flew up the backs of the four people.

This kind of thing is too weird, isn't it?

"We're not going to... Did you encounter a ghost? ”

Xiong Lin said in a low voice, his eyes widening.

However, at this time, even Lin Mengya was a little overwhelmed.

Fortunately, there were not many abnormal events she had encountered before, and she said after calming down for a while.

"Let's go back down this road and see if we can't get out yet."

The four of them walked along the middle road together, but unlike when they came, they couldn't help but have some various guesses in their hearts.

Fortunately, the way back has not changed.

When they returned to the hut where the ancestral tablets were kept, all four of them felt a little uneasy.

Especially Qinghu and Xiong Lin, the two of them can be said to be bold, but despite this, they still have some instinctive fear of the dark tunnel.
