Through the window, Chen Pingan checked carefully again, and indeed there was no missing figure of the old man.
"There's a darkroom in the room!"
Almost instantly, Chen Pingan made a judgment.
It is impossible for people to disappear for no reason. There must be a darkroom in the room.
"It's really weird!"
Chen Ping'an thought for a moment, walked aside, and placed his palm on the door.
Buzz~
The real energy trembled slightly, and the latch on the door jumped up.
At this time, Chen Pingan seized the opportunity and opened the door directly. Before the door latch hits the ground, catch it firmly in your hand.
He was also an expert in art and was bold, and he was not false at all. He actually entered the old Taoist's room directly.
This courage was also given to him by his strength. If he was still in the inner energy realm, he would still have to hesitate to do so. But the Xuanguang Middle Realm made Chen Ping'an act unscrupulously.
The worst-case scenario is that he is discovered and flees directly.
He did this mainly because he felt that this Taoist temple was somewhat strange. Not to mention that everyone here has embarked on martial arts practice. Let's just say that there is such a Taoist temple in the wilderness, and there is a dark room in the room of the Taoist temple owner.
It would be understandable to have a hidden compartment to hide treasures, but it would be a bit strange to have a dark room that can be entered by people.
In addition, Chen Pingan also discovered a detail. Seven or eight people picked up the supplies they had just purchased. There were quite a lot of things. And listening to the previous conversation between the two Taoist priests, they said that today is the monthly purchase, and it is normal to come back late. Another Taoist priest remembered it wrong and thought it was a ten-day purchase.
In other words, this Taoist temple will conduct purchases every ten days. The reason why the monthly purchases are separated out is that they are a little different from the ordinary ten-day purchases.
After observing this Taoist temple, there were less than twenty people going up and down. Do you need to buy so many supplies in just ten days?
Chen Pingan had a vague guess in his heart.
He closed the door, bolted it, and restored it to its previous appearance. Then he observed the situation in the room. The layout inside was extremely neat, with all kinds of furnishings available. Chen Pingan looked around and found no entrance to the dark room or any mechanism.
The old Taoist may come back at any time, and Chen Pingan's top priority is to find a hiding place for him. The first thing he looked at was the bottom of the bed, but unfortunately, the bottom of Lao Dao's bed was solid, leaving only a small gap. It was obvious that no one could be hidden inside.
Chen Pingan's eyes moved and fell on the wardrobe not far from the bed. There are several wardrobes, and the one on the far right is just big enough for an adult to stand in.
"That's it." Chen Ping'an stepped forward and prepared to open the closet to see if it was suitable for hiding.
As soon as he put his hand on the handlebar, a strange thought suddenly appeared in his mind.
As soon as he opened the closet door, he would see the old man standing upright inside, looking at him motionless.
This scene is a bit breathtaking when you think about it!
Fortunately, Chen Pingan was overthinking it. There were only some clothes in the closet, not the scene he imagined.
After confirming that he could hide here, Chen Pingan began to explore the room. As a result, not long after he looked at it, a faint sound came from underground.
"Back!" Chen Ping'an looked serious, and quietly ran into the closet with a movement of his body, and then carefully closed the door. The closet door does not close, there is a small gap in the middle.
The room was lit by candlelight and the closet was extremely dark. Chen Pingan could observe the scene in the room through this small gap.
In addition, Chen Pingan has now entered the realm of Xuanguang. With full concentration, he can mentally perceive the outside world to a certain extent. Even if there is no such gap, you can still roughly sense the scene outside.
A sound of a mechanism sounded, and the floor of the room suddenly sank, and then a medium-sized passage appeared. A tall and thin old man came out of the passage.
After the old man came out, he walked aside and vigorously rotated the round table for decoration.
Click, click, click!
A slight sound of a mechanism sounded, and the sunken ground returned to its original state. After coming out of the passage, the old man looked worried and paced back and forth in the room.
Chen Pingan hid in the closet and watched quietly.
Suddenly the old man stopped and turned around, facing the closet where Chen Ping'an was hiding.
Um?
Chen Pingan was startled.
Found me?
Seeing the old Taoist walking towards the closet, Chen Pingan held his breath and concentrated, ready to burst out at any time and control the other party.
Squeak!
The closet door rang, and the old man opened the closet door next door and took out a gown from inside.
Then he changed his Taoist robe into a long gown and sat cross-legged on the bed.
"What an old man!" Chen Ping'an said to himself and waited quietly in the closet.
To be honest, he really had the urge just now to control the old man and find out what was going on here. It saves him the trouble of being so sneaky now.
Just go over there and it's over!
However, after thinking about it, it’s better to be cautious first, and wait until the situation goes wrong before it’s too late!
Um! etc!
Why do I always think about being reckless? Could it be that I am really a reckless person?
No, it's impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Early in the morning of the second day, the old Taoist woke up from his composure. The first thing I did after getting up was to take off my robe and change back to the Taoist robe in the closet. Then, Chen Pingan also observed that he seemed to touch the inside of the Taoist robe on purpose.
After doing this, the old man left the room after a while. Before leaving, he closed the door.
Chen Pingan waited in the closet for a while. After making sure that the old man would not come back, he opened the closet door and walked out.
There were sounds outside the room, which were the sounds of Taoist priests doing morning classes.
Chen Pingan glanced at the round table beside him, and without any hesitation, he started to turn it like he had done yesterday.
Click, click, click!
The sound of the machine sounded, and the ground in the room began to sink.
When activating the mechanism, Chen Pingan actually thought about whether there would be anyone in the dark room. If he opens it here, wouldn't he find it there? It's not safe to open it directly.
But if he didn't turn on the mechanism, he could only wait for the old man to open it and follow directly. But judging from the situation before entering the room, it is obvious that there is also a mechanism to close the passage on the other side of the dark room.
The logic that follows from this doesn’t quite hold up.
If you can't follow them, you'll risk being discovered if you open the passage yourself.
After much deliberation, there seems to be no other good solution.
So.
Just open it and you’re done! Just rush over!
Um.?
etc! wrong!
I am really not a reckless person! (End of chapter)
