Chapter 501 Catacombs
He looked at Bai Qiyun with a silent smile, and the dagger in his hand gestured around Bai Chenxi's neck.
Bai Chenqi's face was gloomy and clear. Now Bai Shan and Bai Shui have both left. With his ability, he has no way to deal with Wu Yan, let alone Bai Chenxi is still in his hands.
Wuyan is also observing the sky now. It is still early, and he must drag them here. As for Baishan and Baishui have left, Wuyan is not in a hurry. Even if they go back and meet Zhao Yuan and others, as long as they explain the situation, they will definitely not stop them with their personalities, and they may also help find the secret.
As long as most of the Bai family members dragged them here, seeing that Bai Qiyun didn't reply for a long time, she smiled silently and said, "I've been talking about this for so long and I'm hungry. The head of the Bai family, why don't you get some food?"
Bai Qiyun was stunned and then said angrily: "You actually want to eat, do you want anything else?"
The silent dagger gently gestured on Bai Chenxi's neck and said with a smile: "Yes, it's better to say that he has cut a few times now. Anyway, he has fainted now and does not feel the pain. In addition, I am very responsible and will not let him bleed and die!"
"you……"
Bai Qiyun said angrily with eyebrows.
Wuyan said: "I wonder what the head of the family is thinking now?"
Bai Qiyun looked at his son with a dark face and said viciously: "What do you want to eat?"
Wu Yan tilted his head and thought for a while, saying, "Well, the weather is slightly cool and a little chill. It's best to have some mutton hotpot at this time. But by the way, head of the family, you'd better not poison it. Then I'll let my second brother drink it with me. My internal strength is much stronger than his, and I've also blocked my internal strength. I can guarantee that if this poison is fired, his life will definitely not last as long as mine. If you poison your son yourself, you will be the one who kills your relatives for the sake of justice and you can't rely on me!"
Bai Qiyun did have such an idea in his heart. When he heard Wu Yan say this, he could only put away this idea and said, "Don't worry, I will not poison, and I, Bai Qiyun, will not be so shameless!"
Wu Yan laughed and said, "The head of the Bai family is right! Then please arrange it!"
…………
At this moment, at the Bai family!
After Bai Qiyun left the Bai family with a large number of experts, Zhao Yuan and the other two took the opportunity to quietly enter the Bai family. According to the signs on the map, the three of them easily avoided the hidden stakes and arrived at the ancestral hall.
There was no one guarding the Bai Family Ancestral Hall at night, but the eternal lights and candles are lit all year round. The famous ancestors of the Bai Family's ancestral hall were worshipped here. Those who could enter the Bai Family Ancestral Hall and were worshipped were all very outstanding figures of the Bai Family's ancestral hall. As for their corpses, they were buried in the underground palace below the ancestral hall.
The Bai family's ancestral hall is also a relatively magnificent building in the Bai family. After Zhao Yuan and others entered, they found that the size of it was beyond their imagination.
"It's so big here. Where is the entrance to the underground palace?"
Zhao Yuan looked at the huge ancestral hall in front of him and looked at it for a moment, but did not see the entrance to the underground palace. After saying that, he looked at the thief. He said that he was doing this business after all. He should be very clear about those institutions, entrances, etc.
The thief said: "Since this underground palace is used by the Bai family to store the coffins of the ancestors of the Bai family for generations, it is also the place where they robbed those secret books. It should be very secret. Why don't you look for it first and see if there are any suspicious places!"
Shang Qianfei said: "I heard that there are masters guarding this underground palace. Since there are people, they must eat, drink, defecate, and so on. Then people will bring in all day long. Since there are people delivering food."
As he said that, Shang Qianfei took off a candle, first looked at it from the door, then walked forward along the door, and soon came to the wall. After taking a closer look, he reached out and grabbed the candlestick on the wall, and pulled it hard.
"Click!"
The candlestick turned a small curve toward the side, and then a crackling sound of the crack came. In a moment, the wall that looked tightly clamped suddenly shrank backwards, and then came into the side wall. In front of everyone, a passage was exposed, which was about one zhang wide and one zhang high.
Zhao Yuan walked over, looked at the door that had been opened in front of him, and said in surprise: "How did Miss Shang know that the mechanism is here?"
Shang Qianfei said: "This is the Bai family's ancestral hall. There should be not many people here on weekdays. Generally, there are many people here when encountering large-scale sacrificial activities. However, the person who has to come every day is the person who delivers food. The status of the person who delivers food should be very low in the Bai family. He must not be allowed to go in randomly after entering. Therefore, the only way after he comes in is to enter the door and enter the underground palace gate. After a long time, the bluestone slabs on the ground he walked on should be smoother than the bluestone slabs in other places. Needless to say, the candlesticks have been pulled many times, which is much smoother than other candlesticks."
Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "So that's the case. Miss Shang is still smart, so let's go in first!"
The three of them carefully bought into the cave, then fumbled for a while, found another candlestick on the wall and pulled it out, a rumbling sound rang out, and the ground arch closed again.
The passage that appeared in front of everyone was probably only a few feet long, with four large ropes and stones standing on both sides to form a unicorn. It was illuminated by candlelight on both sides, and where was this huge iron door at the end of the passage?
Zhao Yuan reached out and pushed hard on the iron gate, but found that the iron gate was not moving at all. He was surprised, so he increased his strength again. The iron gate made a little sound, but also did not move at all. He couldn't help but say in surprise: "This iron gate is so heavy."
The thief went up and observed the iron gate carefully, then pointed to a small hole on it and said, "This should be a keyhole. To enter here, it seems that there must be a key."
Even underground, Zhao Yuan did not dare to take the risk and directly use his internal force to bombard him, so he asked, "You should be able to open this key, right?"
The thief shook his head and said, "In fact, there are still a few keys that I can't open. This is one of them, called the Qiqiao Linglong Lock! I never expected that the Bai family could use this lock when they were building this underground palace. I thought the lock had been lost!"
Zhao Yuan said in confusion: "This kind of lock is very powerful?"
The thief said: "Of course it's amazing! The keys of this lock are very special and the style is very strange. This lock corresponds to seven keys. When the last lock was opened, the next lock will naturally be replaced with the next key. There is no idea which one next key is the next one. Only when the seven keys are all arrived, I will know it after trying one by one. Moreover, almost all the parts of this lock are hidden in these two iron doors. If the lock is destroyed by internal force, the door will never be able to be opened unless the entire door is removed."
Zhao Yuan said: "Since that's the case, that is, if we don't have seven keys, we will not be able to open this door anyway? The key is where can we find the key now?"
Shang Qianfei looked around and said, "There is another thing I'm very curious. Since it takes seven keys to open this door, it's impossible to bring seven keys to deliver the meal. After entering the first door, he arrived here and delivered the food. There is another thing that the seven keys are in Hengshan, and Bai Qiyun got those secrets and wanted to hide them in the underground palace, it would be impossible to alarm other people. How did he get in?"
Zhao Yuan said: "In other words, there may be other entrances here to enter the underground palace, and the door in front of him is just a decoration?"
The thief said: "It's not the decoration. Judging from this passage, the coffins of the dead ancestors of the Bai family should be moved in from here, but as Miss Shang said, it is impossible for those who deliver food and those who Bai Qiyun and others to enter to open the door every time. There should be other places in there. We might as well look for it!"
The three of them began to fumble in the cave, but the walls around the cave were made of hard stones, which were not only smooth, but also very hard. Moreover, the stones were built in the wrong seams. In this way, there was no way to see the vertical seams like a person!
The three of them looked at each wall here carefully, but still couldn't find any suspicious points.
After a while, the three of them returned to the entrance again. Looking at the passage in front of them, Zhao Yuan couldn't help but wonder: "I was wondering if this door was just a passage to transport the coffins of those dead ancestors of the Bai family. They wouldn't go in from here on weekdays. Is there another mechanism?"
The thief king pondered for a moment and said, "What Master Yang said is not unreasonable. We have already looked at it just now. There is no passage here to enter. Maybe there are other passages. Why don't we go out first and then look carefully again?"
After searching for a long time, there was no clue. Zhao Yuan and Shang Qianfei did not object. The three of them left the passage and returned to the ancestral hall outside. Although the entire ancestral hall was large, the furnishings inside were not complicated. They were basically dense spiritual positions. If there were organs, they would naturally be in places where it was easier to move. The three of them turned all other candlesticks one by one, and they were still motionless. Then they looked at the spiritual positions carefully. After all, if they had to win a spiritual position for a long time, there would be more or less traces on the spiritual position.
However, after examining the spirit positions one by one, no suspicion was found.
After working hard for more than an hour, the three of them still gained nothing.
"If it really doesn't work, we just blasted the iron gate open. I don't believe it can withstand the attacks of the three of us."
Shang Qianfei said angrily.
The thief said: "That would be too risky. The iron gate will be opened by then, but be careful to attract the rest of the Bai family!"
Zhao Yuan agreed: "Hastyness means failure, so we cannot be in a hurry now, so don't mess up our own situation first."
Shang Qianfei said: "I know, but if I don't find the entrance as soon as possible, Wuyan doesn't know how long it will take? If those people come back earlier, wouldn't we be hit by a regular one? But now there is only one passage here, and it is impossible for the other passages in the middle to be not in the ancestral hall at all, but Wuyan doesn't know it!"
The thief king asked in confusion: "Other passages, well, I'm thinking of another question. If you say that if you bring this secret to Bai Qiyun every time you are silently brought back to Bai Qiyun, Bai Qiyun would secretly hide these books into the underground palace, but it would not attract the attention of others. The others include the Bai family disciples who guard the tombs outside. So for him, where should the entrance that is most convenient and easiest to enter the underground palace and will not be noticed by others?"
Zhao Yuan thought for a moment and said, "His study or inside the house."
Shang Qianfei said: "That's true, his other entrance is likely to be in his room. Only in this way can he hide things in without knowing it. Then it is convenient for him to check it out!"
Zhao Yuan said: "If this is the case, how could Wuyan know that the secrets were hidden in the underground palace? After he handed over the secrets collected to Bai Qiyun, Bai Qiyun quietly put them into the underground palace. Wuyan should not know about this."
The thief said: "What you said is indeed true, but now is not the time to discuss. We have to go to Bai Qiyun's room first to see if there is any passage in his room!"
I don’t know how long Wuyan can delay, so the three of them must hurry up.
What the three of them didn't know was that Wuyan planned to drag Bai Qiyun and others here until tomorrow morning.
After waiting for a while, Bai Qiyun finally sent someone a copper hot pot. The hot pot was now filled with the upper-sized stock, and the carbon inside was burning strongly. The stock inside was now steaming.
After the hot pot was delivered, Wu Yan placed it directly in front of him, picked up the mutton slices on the plate next to him, put them in and brushed them, picked them up, and then untied Bai Chenxi's sleeping hole next to him with a snap.
Bai Chenxi slowly woke up and found that he was lying on the ground, still unable to move, while the person next to him was speechless, and said angrily: "You should let me go quickly, otherwise I will tear you into pieces!"
Wu Yan shook his head slightly and sighed: "Why are all people in the Bai family who are the same virtue? This brain wants to tear me out of pieces. Now my son wants to tear me out of pieces. Before tear me out of pieces, come and eat a bite of the mutton you sent by your father!"
"My dad?"
Bai Chenqi was stunned and said angrily: "What nonsense do you say? How could my father give you mutton!"
