The village is built on the narrow backbone of the mountain, facing cliffs on three sides. There is a mountain spring under the cliff. The spring water gushes out and flows along the ravine to the depressions in the terrain.
The mountain spring is named "Xiaoquan" and the village is named "Xiaoquanzhai".
Following Xu Chao through the hall, Wang Cheng came to the room behind the hall. There were two other people in the room at this time.
There was an underground entrance beneath their feet!
The entrance was about one meter wide, enough for an adult to get in, but it was pitch black inside, like a bottomless abyss, and Wang Cheng's panoramic eyes could not see anything for a moment.
"Sir, there may be some..." Xu Chao hesitated, but Wang Cheng roughly understood what he meant.
He's not that delicate yet!
Wang Cheng completely misunderstood what Xu Chao meant. After he walked up the ten-meter-long sloping steps and entered the underground secret room, the "purgatory on earth" that he could only see on TV in the past actually reappeared in real life!
The underground secret room with a total area of less than 100 square meters actually contained more than 100 people, including a group of half-clothed women.
There were girls of thirteen or fourteen and young women in their twenties, all with dull eyes and pale faces. When they saw someone coming in, they subconsciously hid in the corner.
There were no lights or windows in the secret room, and the air was filled with a damp, musty smell, as well as the smell of feces and urine. It was obvious that they had been locked up here for a long time.
I can’t imagine how they survived here!
Wang Cheng walked up to a little girl. She was thin, short, eleven or twelve years old. In that world, she should still be in elementary school.
He reached out to touch her head, but the little girl grabbed his hand and bit it hard, letting out a wild beast's roar.
"Let go!"
Xu Chao stepped forward and wanted to force the person away. Wang Cheng waved his hand.
After a while, the little girl saw that she was not harmed and realized that the people in front of her did not seem to be bad people, so she relaxed her mouth, but she still remained vigilant.
"Sir, are you okay?" Xu Chao asked with concern.
Wang Cheng shook his head. His copper-clad iron armor could even protect against infuriating energy, so how could a child's bite hurt him?
Finally someone had the courage to ask: "Are you an army officer?"
Xu Chao said: "We are under the command of Marquis Ning, and this is my deputy lieutenant!"
He hugged Wang Cheng to show respect.
"Why are you here? Why are you here!!!"
The sudden shout was like a fuse, igniting everyone's emotions.
The painful wails immediately spread throughout the entire underground chamber.
Wang Cheng couldn't see this the most, so he told Xu Chao, and he fled out of the underground secret room.
When he came to the edge of the cliff, he took a big breath of the mountain breeze, and the irritability in his heart felt better.
At this time, Yang Si and Huang Meiren came over, all looking happy.
Yang Si said in a positive tone: "Haha! Do you know, we are developed!"
"Ten thousand taels, no, one hundred thousand taels of silver, plus those jewels, at least two hundred thousand taels. I have never seen so much treasure!" Huang Meiren said excitedly.
However, Wang Cheng poured cold water on them directly: "What? Do you want to be buried here with these gold and silver treasures?"
The two of them are not fools. They definitely can't take away so much treasure. If they bring these things, they might block the big boss.
"Damn it! Are you just leaving these things here?" Yang Si felt unwilling to do so.
Wang Cheng said: "Pick a few valuable things and give them to the brothers. Don't take too much!"
He then ordered: "Search again to see if there are any other underground secret rooms and whether there are people detained in them. If there are any, rescue them and give them some of the treasures."
The two agreed and went to search other places.
Not long after, an urgent cry sounded in Wang Cheng's ears: "Sir, it's not good! It's not good!"
The one who called out was Long Tao, who had fought with him in the ring. Long Tao said anxiously: "Sir, it's not good, Xu Chao passed out in the underground secret room!"
Wang Cheng was shocked. Xu Chao was the only martial artist among them. His strength was only inferior to that of himself and Huang Meiren. He was fine just now, so why did he suddenly faint?
He quickly followed Long Tao back to the underground secret room. At this time, all the women in the secret room had been rescued.
The secret room was empty, with a few torches stuck on the walls on both sides. Xu Chao was lying on the ground, and a Xuanwei was pinching him hard, but it had no effect.
Wang Cheng stepped forward to check his pulse. His breathing was stable and there were no fatal injuries on his body.
He took out a silver needle from his arms and performed the twisting, lifting and inserting method on Xu Chao's Neiguan point.
Xu Chao opened his eyes leisurely, and the first thing he did when he woke up was to point to the wall in front of him and said: "Sir, there is something weird about this wall!"
Wang Cheng looked up at the wall, which was the wall at the back of the underground secret room.
It does look like a very ordinary wall, with pits and scratches all over it, no different from other old walls.
But Wang Cheng's eyes can see through, and he can see at once that this wall is not as simple as it seems on the surface.
This wall was spliced together later. Its true appearance is a huge stone tablet with words engraved on it.
One stroke after another, strong and powerful, without pause, completely done in one go. It doesn't look like it was carved out with an awl, but rather like it was written with a weapon.
Wang Cheng walked closer and was about to take a closer look when a spear suddenly appeared in his eyes, stabbing him from the void with endless killing intent.
His whole body seemed to be frozen, and his consciousness was very slow to react at this moment. He could do nothing but watch as the spear stabbed him.
The spear pierced his mind, and the next moment it pierced the planet where the soul-eating bead was transformed.
"Buzz..."
The murderous intention released by the spear was almost substantial, like a meteor dragging a long flame outside that day, the Soul-eating Pearl trembled faintly, and the endless breath rushed towards the spear.
One is bright, one is dark, one is unstoppable, and the other is boundless. Two completely different breaths collide in this moment!
"boom!"
Wang Cheng's brain seemed to explode from the inside out, and he fell straight to the ground.
Don’t know anything anymore!
In an underground tomb an unknown distance away, there was a jade coffin on display. The lid of the coffin suddenly flew off with a "boom".
A man climbed out of the coffin. He was short in stature, with a braid on his round head. His face was as white as powder, and he wore a silver collar at the base of his neck. He wore a red bellyband with a A large black robe.
Who else could it be if he wasn't the Yin Tong old man?
With a wisp of blood at the corner of his mouth, he stood on the mortuary coffin, pointing to the sky and cursing: "Who? Who is ruining my affairs? I will destroy your ancestors!"
He hates it!
It seemed that the split soul would be able to seize control of that body in a short time, but with one fucking move like this, the split soul was about to be dispersed, and more than a month of hard work was in vain!
He himself had suffered severe injuries, and it would take at least more than a month to return to his previous state and seize control of that body.
Wang Cheng didn't know that he had somehow escaped. He was unconscious for more than an hour, and it was already dusk when he opened his eyes again.
From time to time there would still be a "buzzing" sound in my mind, and the watermelon-sized soul light was no longer as bright as before. It was wilted like an eggplant beaten by frost, as if it would fall away at any time.
The biggest change was undoubtedly the soul-devouring bead, which had shrunk countless times and was now only as big as a watermelon, similar to his soul light.
Wang Cheng's face became extremely solemn, because according to the book, when the soul-eating bead becomes the size of an ordinary bead, it needs to "eat".
How many days can I hold on for?
"Brother Wang, how are you?" Huang Meiren stood in front of the bed and asked with concern.
There were other people in the room, including Xuanwei from both teams and Yang Si.
Wang Cheng waved his hand and said, "I'm fine!"
There is indeed nothing wrong with his body, but something wrong with his mind. The Panoramic Eye cannot be used for the time being. If he wants to return to his original state in a short time, it will take at least several months unless he obtains a spiritual object such as a piece of Ice Soul Cold Lotus. Time to sit and forget about meditation.
After asking how the people imprisoned in the village were doing, he was relieved to learn that those people had taken the money and left.
"Sir, what should I do next?" Xu Chao asked.
Wang Cheng got up from the bed and then entered the underground secret room. Everyone was suspicious, wondering what he wanted to do?
In the confusion of everyone, he walked to the wall and pressed hard somewhere on the wall.
"Click!"
There was only a mechanical sound, and the stone tablet slowly opened inward, revealing a deep secret passage.
"this……"
Everyone was surprised. They never thought that there was a secret passage hidden behind this most filthy and darkest chamber, which seemed to be quite long.
"Sir, what do you mean, let us go through this secret passage? But we don't know where this secret passage leads to. If it leads directly to Black Dragon Village..."
At this point, Xu Chao suddenly stopped and said in surprise: "Sir, could it be that this secret passage really leads to Black Dragon Village?"
Wang Cheng nodded. Seeing that everyone was still confused, he asked someone to take out the map.
Lianyunbao's thirteen villages correspond to thirteen hills respectively. Xiaoquanzhai is located on the easternmost hilltop, which can be said to be Lianyunbao's "bridgehead".
From the top of this mountain to the west, there is a mountain range that leads directly to the Black Dragon Village where Yang Dalong is located!
"High! It's really high!"
Xu Chao suddenly clapped his hands and said "Okay". He almost understood Wang Cheng's intention and said: "My lord, you want to go straight to the Black Dragon Village through this secret passage! Hey! Yang Dalong is robbing and killing our Xuanwei, so we can pass through this secret passage." Use a secret passage to destroy his lair!"
Yang Si raised his hand and said: "I have a question. We don't know where Yang Dalong is. If he is in the Black Dragon Village, wouldn't we throw ourselves into a trap?"
"Don't worry! He will definitely not be in Black Dragon Village!" Wang Cheng said confidently.
He looked at Xu Chao, and Xu Chao looked at him, and the two of them smiled knowingly.
"Leave now!"
Wang Cheng gave the order again, and everyone quickly entered the secret passage without any delay.
After everyone went in, he looked at the mysterious stone monument again, took out his mobile phone from his arms, and then took pictures of the stone monument.
After returning to the ground again and setting a fire, he returned to the secret passage, pressed the switch, and the stone tablet closed again.
