Chapter 67 The Secret Path
He Lingjiang raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the disciple standing at the end: "What's so strange?"

A few of the guards couldn't help but turn their heads to look at him.

That disciple was only sixteen or seventeen years old, named Shouxin, the youngest disciple under Xuanyang Throne.

He has always been timid, and he has a dull temperament and doesn't speak much. Among many disciples, he is the one with the weakest sense of existence.Now that so many pairs of eyes are staring at him, his white and tender face can't help but turn red.

"me……"

He Ling Jiang Rourou looked at him and said in a low voice, "This little Taoist priest, don't be nervous, just tell you what you think is strange."

Her eyes were soft and her face was encouraging. The disciple couldn't help but take a deep breath and said slowly, "I felt a little strange when I went to the master's courtyard before."

On that day, there was one less instrument enshrined in the front hall, which could not be found anywhere, and Shouxin was anxious.

Shouxin took the things and left, but just after walking out of the courtyard, he suddenly realized that the pure heart talisman he had been carrying had slipped out of his sleeve by accident, and perhaps fell into the master's house.He turned back to look for it.

Unexpectedly, he stood in front of the door and knocked on the door for a long time, but he never heard the sound in the house.

Fearing that Master had an accident, Shouxin hurriedly opened the door to check, but the room was empty.

Xuanyang's courtyard is just a way out. If he goes out, he should meet Shouxin, who turned back halfway.It's just that he has never seen Xuan Yang along the way.

Shou Xin was puzzled, so he waited outside the hospital for a while, planning to go look for him if he didn't see Master coming back.After about a cup of tea, Xuan Yang opened the door and walked out.

"It's strange, I went indoors to check it out, but there was no one in the room. At that time, I just thought that I didn't pay attention to check, maybe Master was meditating somewhere and didn't have time to take care of me, so I mistakenly thought he was not indoors ." After learning what Master did, Shouxin thought about it now, and naturally felt that something was wrong.

"I retrieved the Heart Purification Talisman that day, and left in a hurry, not taking it to heart. Now that I think about it, it seems a bit strange."

He Lingjiang raised his eyebrows slightly, this Xuanyang House was afraid that there was a hidden room.

She looked at Xuanwei, and she was surprised when she saw the other party: "Has Daoist Xuanwei checked Xuanyang's inner room?"

Xuanwei nodded and said: "I have seen it, but I didn't find anything wrong before. Now it seems that there is something else in the dark, but I have ignored it."

Looking at Shouxin, He Lingjiang couldn't help but ask again, "Have the little Taoist priest seen anything else that seems strange?"

Shouxin frowned and thought deeply, Fang shook his head: "No. I can only think of so much."

"So, thank you Xiaodao Chang." Although it is only a small detail, it is enough to make people suspicious about the layout of the Xuanyang House. If you investigate carefully, you may find some clues.

He Lingjiang asked other people if they could add something.

However, apart from the eldest disciple, Xuanyang rarely summoned other people to his courtyard, and naturally he could not find anything wrong.

Shoudao lowered his eyes. Now that I think about it, the one who is truly trusted by the master is probably the only one who has always been the elder brother, right?

He Lingjiang glanced sideways at Xuanwei.

Xuanwei understood, and spoke to appease the disciples: "If that's the case, it's hard for you guys today. If you think of anything wrong in the future, just tell me."

"Relax your heart. Although your master has gone, he is still a disciple of our Yunju Temple. As my uncle, I have absolutely no reason to embarrass you."

"Just a little—" Xuanwei paused for a while, and his expression became a little more serious, "Don't make trouble. You master, let's just leave the article, you don't have to investigate and toss in private, so as not to affect the overall situation. Otherwise At that time, I am afraid that our entire Yunjuguan will not be stable."

"Yes, Uncle Shi, disciples and others should be cautious in their words and deeds from now on." A few people guarding the road should salute.

Although they are not angry that the master is gone like this, but after all, they are in a loss. After this, they also know that this matter is not something they can interfere at will, so they have to honestly suppress their minds and do a good job of this Yun Juguan. member.

Xuanwei took a deep look at them, then waved his sleeves lightly: "You guys step back first."

He Lingjiang looked at the figures of the guards who were drifting away, reached out and poured a cup of tea for himself, lowered his head and took a sip, just now: "Daoist, I don't know if you are free now, how about you and I go to Xuanyang Courtyard? "

"You should listen to what He Qiniang said."

As the spectator of this cloud dwelling view, Xuanyang's courtyard is naturally huge.

In the past few days, Xuanwei has secretly searched his courtyard, but found nothing.

Now that Shouxin said that there might be something strange in his house, the two naturally went straight to the inner room.

Xuanwei didn't think about the secret room at all before, but now that there were clues, the two began to grope in the room.

He Lingjiang's fingertips slid across the rows of bookshelves, and then his eyes stopped on a Shoushan stone. This stone is much smoother than the others, so he should play with it often.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, and reached out to pick up the Shoushan Stone. There was a slight bulge on the top of the bookshelf under it. She tentatively pressed it, and the bookshelf moved away in response, revealing a secret passage behind it.

Xuanwei turned his head when he heard the sound, and his eyes lit up: "It's here!"

Saying that, he leaned in.

He Lingjiang stretched out his hand to stop his movement: "Master Dao and slow down!"

She randomly took a scroll from the shelf, raised her hand, and the scroll shot into the empty secret passage, and then landed on the ground with a "pop".

Immediately afterwards, I heard a faint sound in the wall, and several sharp arrows shot in the direction where the scroll fell.

Xuanwei's eyes trembled: "There is still a mechanism!"

If he just broke in just now, he would be shot into a beehive.

"Qi Niangzi, look..."

"Master will come later."

He Lingjiang walked to the door and instructed Aman and Qingzhu who were waiting outside the house, "Go and call He Zheng, and come pick up some stones with me."

The two of Aman didn't know what she meant, but since it was the seventh lady's order, there was no reason for them not to obey.

One of them went to call He Zheng, and one of them squatted in the courtyard to pick up some moderate-sized stones and put them into the kit.

He Zheng came in a hurry, pushed open the door and saw He Ling Jiang Zhiyi sitting at the table, Xuanwei was standing in a secret passage behind the bookshelf watching.

"Qi Niangzi." He Zheng bent down and saluted.

He Ling Jiang Qing said "um" and asked, "He Zheng, are you familiar with the techniques of secret passages?"

"Slightly familiar. When subordinates train, they will also learn these things."

"That being the case, follow me through this secret passage today." He Lingjiang nodded, and then looked at Aman and Qingzhu who were eager to try: "You are here to guard, don't let anyone break in. Come."

Even though he didn't let himself follow, Ah Man's eyes were a little disappointed: "Yes, Qi Niangzi..."

He Lingjiang raised his hand and motioned for He Zheng to hold the candlestick on the table, then he picked up the bag full of stones on the table, and walked over Xuanwei into the secret passage ahead of him.

"Qi Niangzi!" He Zheng was startled and reached out to stop her.

There are many organs in the secret passage, if it is not the owner of them, I do not know the layout and design, I am afraid that they will inevitably be injured by the organs.

Unexpectedly, He Lingjiang avoided him and took a few steps away.

"Don't worry about this little brother, I just saw that He Qiniang should know some tricks." Xuanwei looked at him worried and stepped forward to comfort him.

He Zheng frowned, raised his hand and held the candle light to shine it, only then did he see seven or eight short arrows lying scattered on the ground, thinking that it was the result of Qi Niangzi's previous temptation.

He Zheng hurriedly held the candlestick and followed: "Qi Niangzi, be careful."

He Lingjiang walked leisurely, and when he heard the words, he turned around and told him: "You and Daoist Xuanwei follow me closely, remember to protect some Daoists."

He Zheng's hand holding the candlestick froze. Qi Niangzi called him over and asked him if he knew the secret way. Did he not let him clear the way, but followed behind her to protect the old Taoist?
