Chapter 1195 Hits the target
It’s not unusual for the Sirius Sect’s hometown to have secret passages. All major sects will have some when they are first established. Even a small sect like the Qingshan Sect still has a secret passage. The master's secret cave.
However, Li Chengqi didn't expect to see the entrance to the secret passage as soon as he entered.
Some are used as escape routes, while others are secret storage vaults for storing valuables. You have to open them to find out what they are.
This side hall seems to be used to store things like the Sirius Sect's teachings and scriptures. There are tall bookshelves everywhere, and the sound of fighting comes from behind several bookshelves in the front right.
"Take two steps forward, and the floor tile under the bookshelf on your left can be opened."
Li Chengqi could see the secret passage, but he didn't know where the mechanism was unless it was within Yang Yiyi's field of vision.
Of course, this is not necessary.
Yang Yiyi immediately took out the mace and dealt with the floor tiles Li Chengqi said.
The floor tiles were originally empty, but within a few strokes, a big hole was opened, and it was pitch black underneath.
"Go down and have a look."
Qin Yan said at this time:
"I'll go ahead. I'm more used to traps."
The thieves in the Sixteenth Village are indeed good at this. Yang Yiyi handed the flashlight to Qin Yan, who jumped off first, and Yang Yiyi followed with Wu Shaoyi's wheelchair.
Wu Shaoyi and Qin Yan didn't know that Li Chengqi could use the Sky Stone to cut Yang Yiyi's hair and cleanse his marrow. Currently, only Yang Yiyi and Li Chengqi knew this.
This secret is of great importance and cannot be revealed casually. If the news leaks out, things will be in trouble.
However, the two of them had no objections to Li Chengqi's instructions. After all, just from the experience of going to southern Xinjiang, they knew that Li Chengqi's instructions were correct every time.
Anyway, the two of them didn't think they could handle the leader of the Sirius Sect. Since they were not the main force, there was nothing wrong with them. Especially when a secret passage is discovered, it would be a great achievement if an important person from the Sirius Sect can be blocked in it.
There was nothing much to say about the secret passage itself. It was narrow and dark as expected. Qin Yan walked in front with a flashlight. In some places, she had to lower her head and bend down to get through.
But this secret passage seems to be surprisingly large, and the route is surprisingly complicated.
At first, Li Chengqi thought it would lead to some secret place, but as he walked, he discovered that he was very wrong.
When walking in this secret passage, you will often see "thin lines" formed by light shining from the outside on the wall or ceiling. After groping for a while, you can also find the handle that can be used as a pot lid to lift the wooden board.
And every time you open it, you will find it in a different place. It feels like this is not an escape route, but more like a quick passage to facilitate the activities of a few people in the palace.
It's a bit hard to understand why this thing was built, and it's too complicated.
Yang Yiyi and the others could still identify the direction at first, but after a few turns, it was obvious that they couldn't tell the difference between east, west and north, and they couldn't go back the way they came.
Since the secret passage is either in the wall or on the floor, you can hear the sounds of fighting along the openings that can be opened. It must be that the martial arts heroes are still having intense physical exchanges with the people of the Sirius Sect.
The three of them wandered around for almost a stick of incense. The more Li Chengqi looked at it, the more unreliable it became. He was always wandering around here, so he might as well go out and look for a place that might be a treasure house.
So he said:
"When you encounter the exit again later, go out. I suspect this secret passage may be a circle. If you continue to go around, you may go back."
As soon as Li Chengqi finished speaking, the three of them saw a bright spot projected by a faint light in the darkness not far ahead.
So the three of them quickened their pace a little. Qin Yan, who was walking in the front, was about to push away the barrier when her ears suddenly twitched.
She made a silent gesture to Yang Yiyi and Wu Shaoyi who were following behind, and then put her ears against them.
All three of them heard the sound of approaching footsteps while talking. At first, they were far away and could not hear clearly what was being said. Soon, the footsteps became closer and closer.
A voice that sounded very old spoke in poor Chinese Mandarin:
"Now that our teaching is facing such a catastrophe, your department still persists. It is really rare." Then another younger voice, like a middle-aged man, responded:
"Where is the Heavenly Wolf Sect?" The calamity is only temporary, I believe that the leader will definitely make a comeback. "
There is no Western accent this time, and he sounds like a Central Plains person.
The three of them immediately realized that there was someone inside.
Shen Qingluo also knows this. There are thousands of people, no matter how careful they are, the news will inevitably leak out. It is not uncommon for insiders to sneak in.
This is why Yang Yiyi needs to be extra careful when sending letters. Only the leaders of each faction know the real action plan. Even the elders have a partial understanding and try to avoid leaking important things.
However, as soon as the three girls heard that there was a mole, they all wanted to find out the identity of the mole and take care of things later.
So they leaned against the baffle and listened more carefully.
The footsteps were still approaching. It sounded like there were about four or five people, but there was one person who seemed to have three legs and was probably on crutches.
None of the people who came to attack the Sirius Sect were on crutches. If you think about it, the person on crutches was probably the old voice who connected the Sirius Sect and the mole.
"However, with such a huge momentum, how can the leader escape?"
"Then it's none of your business, we have our own solution."
The man was quite cautious and didn't say any important information at all.
The voice of a middle-aged man who must be the mole hurriedly said:
"I'm just talking too much, I shouldn't ask."
"You're welcome. There are some things I really can't say, but it doesn't matter if you ask."
Then the old voice said:
"It's right here, wait a moment."
There was only a thin slit in the part of the baffle that could transmit light. Qin Yan tried very hard to see something through this slit, but it was too narrow and she couldn't see where the sound was coming from.
Then the three of them heard a clicking sound, like the sound of unlocking or opening some kind of metal box.
Immediately afterwards, the old voice continued to speak in a poor Western accent:
"This secret book is specially given to you by the leader. It is not included in the promised reward. If you study it carefully, it will definitely be of great benefit."
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey. Thank you very much."
It sounds like some secret book was used in exchange.
Although the strength of the members of the Sirius Sect is uneven, the style of the middle and upper classes is very obvious.
If nothing else, at least three of the four heavenly kings currently appearing have nothing in common with their martial arts.
Either the three of them are from different sects, or the Heavenly Wolf teaches so many martial arts that they can teach them according to their aptitude at will.
Putting it this way, the door is probably a key place where martial arts secrets are stored?
"In addition, there is this thing, and the promised reward will naturally not be less."
I don't know what was taken out this time. Qin Yan only heard a slight banging sound, like a bag of silver.
Neither Wu Shaoyi nor Qin Yan understood what it was, but Yang Yiyi became anxious as soon as she heard it.
This feels like a Skystone.
