Chapter 388 The King Does Not See the King
Unlike the last time I came to the old house of the Ruan family at night, this time it was during the daytime. Apart from being too deserted, the house was not as gloomy as last time.

I have been here once, and I am quite familiar with the layout of the house, so I walked straight to the wing room in the backyard.

Jiang Xiaoxi looked around, judging from her curious face, it was probably the first time she had come to the old house of the Ruan family, and she was very curious about this famous house.

"I don't see how scary it is, why does everyone walk around here?" Jiang Xiaoxi muttered to himself.

"Beauty, don't look at the daytime, this house is not very scary, do you know what we encountered when we came over that night?" Fatty Wang said in a mysterious tone on purpose.

"What did you meet?" Jiang Xiaoxi showed a look of interest in his eyes.

It was rare for Fatty Wang to find an opportunity to express himself, so he immediately spit and narrated the thrilling experience of that night with more details.

"How about it, is this the first time you've heard of a strange snake with a human head?" Fatty Wang finished speaking and looked at Jiang Xiaoxi triumphantly.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xiaoxi didn't show amazement as he thought, but frowned slightly, looking thoughtful.

Fatty Wang boasted a few more words, and Jiang Xiaoxi kept thinking about his own problems, and didn't even reply, begging Fatty Wang, who was boring, with a embarrassed look on his face.

"I seem to have seen that man with the birthmark on his face that you mentioned before." Jiang Xiaoxi murmured.

"He's also from the Ruan family, speaking of which, he's somewhat close to you." I explained from the side.

"Ah, I remembered, he is not from Panlong Town, and he was investigated by me because he was involved in a murder case." Jiang Xiaoxi said in a dazed tone.

"That guy, I met him today, but he was scared away by the fat man." Fatty Wang boasted shamelessly.

I looked at Fatty Wang and sighed, I really felt sorry for his parents, I really don't know how he cultivated such a superb character.

Fatty Wang belongs to the character of brown sugar. Once it gets on it, he can't get rid of it. I don't know if he fell in love with Jiang Xiaoxi's appearance, or he thinks her identity is attractive, so he stalks and talks nonsense. .

I quickly walked a few steps, so as not to get too close to this guy and embarrass myself along with it.

"It's very quiet in this yard, doesn't it look like someone is there?" Zhen Qingyi looked around in doubt.

I also felt that this abandoned old house was unusually quiet. I stretched out my hand and bit my finger, tapped my eyes twice, and opened my eyes.

"Dad, are you in there?" Fang Xiaomei Xiaoyi called from behind.

The yard was silent, and there was no response.

"Are you sure that Father Fang entered this yard?" I turned to ask Old Fang beside me.

"There's nothing wrong with it. I've been following behind and saw it with my own eyes." Lao Fang looked puzzled.

After he finished speaking, he turned around and asked Fang Xiaomei who was hiding outside: "Little sister, after our father came in, didn't he come out again?"

"Absolutely not. I've been guarding outside." Fang Xiaomei shook her head like a rattle.

"This is strange." I muttered to myself, and walked towards the opposite wing.

It was in this room last time that I had a fierce fight with the snake demon and the birthmark man.

The door of the room was ajar, the light inside was very dark, and the window sill was covered with dust and cobwebs.

"This room does look a bit like a haunted house." Jiang Xiaoxi said nervously.

I pushed open the half-covered door, and the body of the snake demon had long since disappeared, but the inside of the room was in a mess, as if half of it had been invaded by thieves.

"Look, why is there a hole in the corner of the wall?" Zhen Qingyi pointed to the wall on the left.

It was a square hole more than one meter high, and it was dark inside, so I couldn't see what was there.

I remember that when I came here last time, this old-fashioned wardrobe was placed there. At this moment, the dilapidated wardrobe was overturned to the side, revealing the hole hidden behind.

"Ask Miss Fang, did she hear any noise when she was outside?" I turned to the old Fang and said.

Lao Fang walked to the door and asked the little girl outside if he heard any abnormal noise.

Fang Xiaomei replied in an affirmative tone, since the old Fangtou came in, the yard has been quiet, without any sound.

"Could it be that someone has been here before the old square head came in?" I stared at the scattered furniture on the floor.

If the old Fangtou made this scene of being attacked by a thief, it is impossible for there to be no noise. Now there is only one explanation, that is, before the old Fangtou came over, this place has already become like this.

It's not that I didn't suspect that these were all made by the little girl pretending to be a ghost, but I stretched out my hands and tried it. These furniture are made of good wood, which is dead and heavy. A little girl doesn't have such strength.

Zhen Qingyi took out his mobile phone, turned on the flashlight function, walked to the wall, and took a photo towards the hole.

"It seems to be a secret road, but I don't know where it leads to." Zhen Qingyi looked around.

"Maybe it was a big family in the past who built a secret road for escape." Lao Fang said in an uncertain tone.

"Go in and have a look." I bent my body and got into the secret passage.

Speaking of which, I really have a predestined relationship with all kinds of secret ways, and it seems that no matter where I go, I can meet secret ways.

It may also be that our ancestors lacked a sense of security and liked to build secret rooms and passages.

It was really hit by the old Fangtou, it looked like an escape route, small and narrow, empty, with nothing in it.

"Oh my god, Fatty is crushed to death." Fatty Wang moaned from behind.

The size of this guy is seriously over the standard, and when he stops there, he is like a hill. For him, this secret passage is indeed a bit narrow.

The breeze came from the front, indicating that this is not a sealed secret road, but it is quite long with seven bends and eight turns.

"When will we reach the end? Fatty's waist is going to die of pain." Fatty Wang kept moaning along the way.

"Okay, a big man, complaining about this and that, is it shameful?" Jiang Xiaoxi said suddenly.

I looked back unexpectedly, I didn't expect this little girl to have a hot temper.

"Why are you staring at me? In our team, if you just pull anyone out, your willpower can beat you by a few blocks." Jiang Xiaoxi continued.

I laughed secretly in my heart, this Fatty Wang is indeed very noisy, someone should come and teach him a lesson.

However, the cultivation of this secret path is too short, people walk in it, they can only bend over, even I have some backaches, so I don't blame Fatty Wang for complaining.

"There is light in front, it seems that the exit is over there." Zhen Qingyi said from behind.

I squinted my eyes and quickened my pace. The further I walked, the brighter the light became. I guess it was only a few steps away from the exit.

When I got out of the secret passage, I was so tired that I could hardly straighten my back. Fatty Wang was even more unbearable, sitting on the ground without any image, panting heavily.

"Where is this place? Why are there trees all around?" Fatty Wang wiped the oily sweat from his forehead.

"This is Longchong Mountain. The Ruan family was one of the largest families in the past, and they were able to build such a long secret escape route." Lao Fang looked around and said with emotion.

"Where's the old Fangtou, he must have gone back, right?" Fatty Wang fanned the cool breeze with his hand.

"I remembered, the Rising Dragon Temple is not far ahead." Jiang Xiaoxi's words made my heart tighten.

"It's all here, let's meet the owner here." I took a deep breath and walked forward.

To be honest, I didn't expect to meet that Dao Ji in such a hasty way, but since I'm here, there's no need to avoid it.

"If we had known that there was such a secret road, we wouldn't have had to put so much thought into it, and we had conflicts with the villagers living at the foot of the mountain several times." Jiang Xiaoxi said with emotion.

"Then you call your colleagues and secretly arrest Dao Ji directly, wouldn't it save everyone trouble?" I said casually.

"Go and find out the details of that old guy first, he is very cunning, and it is difficult for ordinary people to see him." Jiang Xiaoxi reached out and touched his waist.

I glanced at her, her waist was bulging, and she didn't know if she was hiding handcuffs or a pistol.

After walking a few steps, a Taoist temple appeared in front. The Taoist temple was not big, but it was built with great momentum.

When we approached, several well-built guys were meditating cross-legged on the futon.

Judging from their clothes, they should be wealthy businessmen who have been bewitched by the Dao Festival. They all look pious, like old monks in meditation.

An old man in Taoist robes, with white hair and a childlike face, sat cross-legged in front of the tribute table, and there was still a faint mist above his head.

"Three flowers gathering on the top?" I fixed my eyes and looked at the old man in surprise.

Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, in martial arts novels, is usually used to describe inner masters, but in reality, this situation does exist.

This phenomenon will only appear when cultivators who have reached the ultimate level of cultivation are circulating their inner qi.

However, I always thought it was a legend before, but I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes today.

I pursed my lips bitterly. I knew this guy was very powerful, but I still found that I underestimated his strength.

Jiang Xiaoxi didn't understand the meaning of three flowers gathering on the top, but felt that it was very rare for a big living person with steam on his head.

It seemed that there were a few more uninvited guests in the Taoist temple. The old man with white hair and childlike face slowly opened his eyes after letting out a long breath.

I stared at the other party, and found that the eyes of this Dao Ji were particularly divine, black and bright, as if they could glow.

Out of the corner of my eye, seeing Jiang Xiaoxi staring blankly at her, my heart tightened, and I pulled her back calmly.

"Ah!" Jiang Xiaoxi exclaimed, regained consciousness, and no longer dared to look into the other person's eyes.

"What a powerful mind-confusing technique." I sighed in my heart.

"Don't stare into his eyes." Jiang Xiaoxi, who had come to his senses, pushed Lao Fang, which woke him up from a trance.

"I did the calculations in the morning and learned that there was a distinguished guest coming in the afternoon, and now it has come true." Dao Ji's voice was so magnetic that one couldn't help but be addicted to it.
