Shortly after Ergou left, Tang Zhen simply packed up and left the hotel.
He is going to Li Te's house to meet this guy who is suspected to be a wise man.
It was getting dark when he came out. Tang Zhen watched the scenery for a while before walking towards the dark cave.
The already sparsely populated streets became quieter at this time, and from time to time, spherical luminous creatures similar to dandelions floated overhead.
This kind of thing likes to float on top of people's heads, and follows them wherever they go. From a distance, it looks like there is a ball of light on their head, and the lighting effect is quite good.
It's also easy to drive away. Just clap your hands above your head and this kind of thing will run away.
The residents of Tianxu City have the same schedule as the outside world. When night falls, they all fall asleep.
The streets will become even more deserted, with almost no people moving around. With no entertainment activities, what can the residents of Tianxu City do except sleep?
Tang Zhen walked silently on the streets, like a wandering ghost, and no one noticed his presence at all.
When he arrived at the door of Li Te's house, the door was still closed and there was no sound around him.
Ai Li's family had fallen asleep, and Tang Zhen could even hear slight snores. Obviously, the sound insulation effect of this kind of cave was not very good.
Tang Zhen stood at the door of Li Te's house, wanting to hear what was going on inside, but it was completely silent.
Tang Zhen's hearing was excellent, and he could hear his breathing and heartbeat clearly.
There can't be any movement in a room where someone is present, so the situation is very wrong.
He took out the long sword in his hand and flicked it along the crack of the door. The hardwood door bolt was cut off directly.
After pushing the door open, a simple house appeared in front of us. It could be described as a house with only four walls.
Li Te, the young man who lived here, has disappeared now, which proves that Tang Zhen's previous judgment was correct.
There was really no one in the house, so there was no movement.
Tang Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly and scanned the entire room. On the surface, there seemed to be no problem.
But Ellie's two younger brothers said that they saw weapons and armor in the room and many glowing lines on the walls.
There were no such things in the room in front of him, so Tang Zhen had reason to believe that there was still a hidden space here.
After walking around the slightly narrow room twice, Tang Zhen did not see anything like a secret door. It seemed that the hidden secret room did not exist.
"What's going on? Are those two little guys talking nonsense?"
Tang Zhen shook his head, feeling that it was unlikely that Ellie's brother was lying. After all, at their age, they simply couldn't make up such a lie.
What's more, the door bolt is hung from the inside, but there is no one in the house, which in itself is very wrong.
Tang Zhen thought of this and looked at the house carefully again, not missing any details.
"This Li Te is very cunning. If he was not at home, he would definitely not open the secret door.
The fact that two children were able to discover the secret door shows that it is not difficult to open the mechanism, otherwise the children would not be able to reach it..."
Tang Zhen, who walked to the stone bed, suddenly squatted down and took a serious look.
"So that's the case, no wonder..."
With a smile on his face, Tang Zhen curled up and got directly under the bed.
The seemingly flat and empty bottom of the bed is actually a bluff, using something similar to a mirror to create an illusion. In fact, there is a long entrance.
This simple method deceived Tang Zhen and prevented him from discovering it at the first time.
Being accustomed to the methods of monks, this kind of mechanism without energy fluctuations actually has a better concealing effect.
After entering through the entrance under the bed, a narrow passage appears in front of you, suitable for people with thin stature.
Tang Zhen twisted his body, and then seemed to be discouraged, and his height quickly shrank to about 1.4 meters.
The outer clothes were put away, but the armor on the body shrank automatically, and it always fit perfectly.
With such a petite body, it is very suitable for drilling holes.
I sensed the road ahead. Although it was winding and winding, it was smooth and there were no traps.
It's normal to think about it. If there is a mechanism, Ellie's two younger brothers may not be able to come back alive.
From this, it can be confirmed that Li Te is not as hateful as Ellie said, otherwise his two younger brothers may not be able to survive until now.
As for his acting style, it may be related to having the memory of his previous life. After seeing through the vicissitudes of the world, it is inevitable that there will be a trace of laziness and indifference in his words and deeds.
Although the young man deliberately concealed it, his eyes had already betrayed him. Without going through hundreds of years of ups and downs, it would be impossible to have those eyes.
During the journey, Tang Zhen discovered something. This passage must have existed for a long time, and it may have a history of thousands of years.
The passage was built so narrowly not intentionally to make things difficult for those entering, but because the builder was very thin.
Li Te has memories of his past life, so he must know that this passage exists. As for why it is under his bed, perhaps only he can answer.
Unexpectedly, this passage is very long, at least about 100 meters.
As for why such a situation occurs, in fact, if you think about it carefully, you will know that this is obviously to avoid residential buildings and look for a more spacious space.
In fact, it is not an easy task to find a spacious and hidden space in a mountain that is almost hollowed out.
After walking for a while, Tang Zhen saw a brighter light and the passage had reached the end.
After passing through a small door, a space appeared in front of him, about more than 100 square meters, with many cabinets and boxes placed there.
The cabinet is full of books, the materials are different, and the writing time is also different.
On the surrounding stone walls, there are indeed dense fluorescent lines, forming a rune array that can shield detection.
The boy named Li Te was standing next to the table, holding a quill and drawing something.
Judging from his frown, he seemed to be worried about something.
Tang Zhen didn't say anything, he just stood with his hands behind his hands and carefully looked at the details of this space.
From the appearance and style of those items, it can be determined that they do not belong to this era and are also owned by a race with a thin stature.
Looking at Li Te who was still deep in thought, Tang Zhen had a suspicion in his heart that this guy might be related to the race that built this place.
It is even very possible that the other person was of that race in his previous life and is now reincarnated as a human race.
This eerie silence lasted for nearly ten minutes.
Li Te seemed to have figured something out, and a smile appeared on his face. After putting down the pen, he tried to stretch his stiff body.
Then he saw Tang Zhen, his contented expression froze, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.
He was like a frightened mouse, jumping up from the ground, as if to vent the fear in his heart.
It is said that people are taken aback, and that was the case with Li Te.
But while jumping up, he had already reached his hand to his waist, and a cylindrical object was grasped in his hand.
Just when Li Te aimed it at Tang Zhen, he saw Tang Zhen appear beside him instantly like a leopard.
"If I were you, I wouldn't do such a stupid thing to avoid losing my life."
Hearing Tang Zhen's warning and feeling the cold chill on his neck, Li Te's face was a little distorted, and his eyes were full of struggle.
After a few seconds, Li Te was like a deflated rubber ball and put down his weapon with a look of helplessness.
"Tell me, Brother Loucheng, what do you want to do?"
