Chapter 339 Ghost Haunted? (one more)
Wu Chen looked up at the darkened sky, and said to himself, "What can't be done from the front, but from the side? Or they tried many times from the front and found that it didn't work, so they figured out a way from the side. Years have passed, and a solution has just been found? It can't take so long, can it?"

Xing Yun said impatiently: "If you want to know what's going on, why don't you just go and have a look?"

Wu Chen waved his hand and said, "It's not easy for you to become one. If you go down, if you are buried inside, the officials will definitely blame me, and your brother won't let me go..."

"I'm dead, are you alive?"

"It's not that you haven't experienced it, I can't die."

"Hmph!" Xing Yun snorted coldly, but didn't say anything else.

Wu Chen further explained: "If you analyze more possibilities, you can make some preparations in advance. This is like training soldiers before a battle. More practice can save your life. Besides, if I go down, if the outside is not properly arranged, I will not feel at ease. "

"Now can you be sure that there is poison below?" Shang Gong asked seriously.

Wu Chen nodded, looked at Xing Yun and asked, "Do you have a universal antidote? Back then, you gave me a pill to remove poison from corpses, but do you still have other poisons?"

Xing Yun took out the small medicine bottle, opened it, took a pill quickly, and asked, "What else should I prepare?"

Wu Chen said: "I will eat one for those who will stay here later"

After finishing speaking, Wu Chen pointed to the old man on the ground who didn't know whether he was dead or alive, and then analyzed:

"There must be something they are very afraid of down there, so they will send this father and two, and the old man has made preparations first. Just now he slipped his mouth and said that I will do something when it gets dark. I deduce that someone will come after dark. Help them, now that I think about it, there may be something down there that will come out after dark, and the two of them are waiting for that thing to come out before going down..."

"What a mess!" Xing Yun was a little confused.

Shang Gong looked around and asked, "What comes out at night?"

"Ghost, what else can it be? He can see it and subdue it, so what's so scary about it?" Xing Yun was a little puzzled.

Wu Chen asked: "I can see it, can you see it? Can they see it? If they can't see it, how can they be sure that a powerful ghost will come out at night? What is it doing? How long will it take to go back?"

Xing Yun was stunned, Shang Gong leaned over to Wu Chen's side after hearing this, and said in a low voice, "What do you mean, there will be ghosts here at night?"

"It's still haunted by bears! It can't be ghosts..."

"Is there a bear?" Shang Gong was shocked.

"No! That's what I said, come on, I'll go down first to see what the old man has prepared, maybe I can guess what's under Liu's house, and those people who came outside should be in their positions, Shangfu Yin hurriedly ordered people to take this The two of you are gone, as well as Liu's house, don't move for the time being."

Xing Yun hurriedly asked: "What am I doing?"

"You guard the entrance of the tunnel, and no one is allowed to go down. If I don't come up with a stick of incense..." Wu Chen was silent for a moment and said: "Immediately block the tunnel, and no one is allowed to go down! Report to the officials, Seal it within a ten-mile radius, and let the officials find capable people to break it."

"You can't do it, who can do it?" Xing Yun seemed to realize that something was serious.

Wu Chen chuckled and said, "What I'm saying is, if I can't do it, who can do it? In the same way, if I can't do it, no one can do it."

"But Vice Envoy Wu, you just said that this old man went down..."

"Yeah, it wasn't dark then, but it's almost dark now."

Wu Chen interrupted Shang Gong, walked to the entrance of the tunnel, and stayed there for two seconds. The reason why he didn't go down to have a look was because he was waiting for the boss. From past experience, once he had the heart to do something, And if this matter is dangerous, the big head will feel it.

According to Wu Chen's current familiarity with the capital, he couldn't figure out the time it would take for the big head to arrive, but he probably calculated the time when the second child came to pick up Xu Da and Gu You. One-way, if it was faster, it would take half an hour. enough.

Ever since Wu Chen talked to the old man, he had already made up his mind that he would go down to have a look tonight. The old man wanted to delay, so Wu Chen was delaying, he was waiting for someone to come.

When Xing Yun came, he and Wu Chenyi were usually accompanied by Xu Dasonggu, a sophomore in high school, and someone followed, at least they could discuss things, sometimes they could help, and no matter how bad they were, they could pass on a message.

Now the second year of senior high school is going to pass the message, Shang Gong has come, the second year of senior high school has not yet returned, probably went back to the house to visit Xu Da and Gu You, Song Gu and Gu Shiming went to the clinic again, fortunately Xing Yun came, he alone can take care of both.

Wu Chen walked down the steps at the entrance of the tunnel, Xing Yun hurriedly asked, "You didn't bring a torch?"

"In the way!" Wu Chen responded.

The tunnel was pitch black, with only some light at the entrance.

Wu Chen carefully looked at the road under his feet, and looked forward from time to time. He frowned and smelled the smell in the tunnel. There was no damp and rotten smell. On the contrary, there was a smoky smell after something was burned.

He took a closer look at the wall. It was made of bricks and stones. He stood still and looked at the steps under his feet, and he could think that the road in the tunnel was easy to walk, and it should be a paved brick road.

Wu Chen walked down slowly and carefully. There were many steps, and it seemed that the tunnel was very deep. Wu Chen's eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, and his steps became faster.

Wu Chen quickly walked down the remaining steps, then stood in the tunnel and looked ahead as far as he could see. The tunnel was built straight, with a distance of about 50 meters. Wu Chen could see the dark door in the distance. Who repaired it?It must not be the Liu family. Why did those people build a gate?Wu Chen walked a few steps forward, and heard the sound of a mouse. He looked around and finally found out what the old man had put.

mouse!

Live mice seemed to be fixed under the corner of the wall by something, and there was one every two or three meters. They were struggling, and occasionally made a 'squeak' sound. No, and he went down the tunnel and walked a few steps before seeing it in front of him. What does that mean?
The old man should be the mouse that was taken down after running out.

Wu Chen no longer thought about turning around and exiting the tunnel.

Seeing that it was Wu Chen who showed his head, Xing Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

Wu Chen said, "Quickly look around to see if there are any mice?"

"Ok?"

"The old man put live rats down there, but there were no more when he got to the exit. I suspect that he ran out of the ones he took down..." Wu Chen went up to the ground, before he finished speaking, he lowered his head and listened carefully. .

Xing Yun understood what Wu Chen meant, and started looking around, saying, "If it's for bait, then these mice should all be together. This yard is full of withered grass, maybe in the haystack, maybe in those few haystacks. In a dilapidated house..."

Xing Yun suddenly stopped talking.
