Traveling through time and meeting fellow villagers, the secret code is right

After a moment of silence, Lin Feng took a deep breath and said slowly: "I have told you everything I know." There was a hint of helplessness in his voice.

Yi Lei stared at Lin Feng, his eyes full of suspicion and vigilance, and asked: "Are you sure you have nothing to hide?"

Lin Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head, then slowly rolled up his sleeves, revealing a hideous deep scar. This scar seemed to tell of all the things he had experienced in the past.

"Why do you think I would betray Da Fei?" Lin Feng's tone revealed endless sadness, "I'm just tired of the kind of life where I'm walking on thin ice, worried and on edge every day."

Mingzhe frowned and asked softly, "So what are you going to do now?"

Lin Feng's eyes inadvertently swept over the box tightly held in Yi Lei's hand, and his eyes became more and more complicated and unpredictable. "I have tried my best, and the rest depends on you. I just hope that you can succeed and don't let my betrayal go to waste." Lin Feng's words revealed a deep sense of powerlessness.

Yi Lei and Ming Zhe looked at each other and thought of the same person in their minds - the old man who had given them the clue.

"It seems that we have to go find him." Yi Lei's expression was solemn, "Maybe he knows the meaning of the things in this box."

Lin Feng nodded, "He is the only one who may know the truth. But you have to be careful, Da Fei's spies are everywhere."

Mingzhe patted Lin Feng's shoulder vigorously: "Don't worry, we will never let your efforts be in vain."

Yi Lei frowned and asked, "Did you really betray Da Fei?"

Lin Feng smiled bitterly, his eyes full of helplessness: "I don't want to live a life where my life hangs on my head every day. Can you let me go?"

Mingzhe sighed and patted Yilei on the shoulder: "Yilei, let him go. He has helped us a lot."

Yi Lei hesitated for a moment, and finally let go: "Okay, Lin Feng, you can go."

Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and left, his steps staggering. Mingzhe looked at his back, feeling mixed emotions. He knew that Lin Feng's choice was not easy.

"Let's go find that old man first?" Yi Lei turned to Mingzhe and said, "Maybe he knows the meaning of the things in this box."

-------------------------

Yi Lei and Ming Zhe were walking on a winding path. As they were walking, Yi Lei suddenly stopped, frowned slightly, and listened to the movements around him.

"What's wrong?" Mingzhe asked in a low voice upon seeing this, and reached out to grasp the hilt of the dagger hanging at his waist, ready to draw the sword at any time.

Yi Lei put his index finger to his lips, signaling Mingzhe to be quiet, and then listened attentively. Gradually, the strange sound became clearer and clearer - like someone moving quickly in the grass. The two exchanged glances, nodded in understanding, and then quickly dispersed, hiding in the dense bushes on both sides of the road.

A moment later, a figure jumped out from the bushes. After seeing the face of the person clearly, Yi Lei's heart tightened: this person turned out to be the black-clad assassin who had fought with them before! Obviously, the other party was still unwilling to give up and pursued him all the way here. Yi Lei knew that the situation was urgent and could not afford any delay.

The man in black was looking around warily, as if he had sensed some danger. Just when he was about to find Mingzhe's hiding place, Yi Lei suddenly jumped out from behind the tree, and stabbed the man in black in the heart with the dagger in his hand!

Facing this sudden attack, the man in black reacted very quickly. He dodged the fatal blow easily. In an instant, the dagger and the short sword clashed again, and a series of dazzling sparks burst out.

Mingzhe was not to be outdone. He flashed and attacked from the other side. His two swords crossed to form an impenetrable sword net, forcing the man in black to retreat.

The man in black obviously didn't expect them to come up with a countermeasure so quickly, and his face became even more gloomy. He said sinisterly: "Do you think you can escape from my grasp like this?!"

Upon hearing this, Yi Lei immediately snorted, with a look of indifference on his face: "What's wrong with that? Today is the day you die!" Before he finished speaking, the sword in his hand became brighter, and it streaked across the night sky like a meteor, bringing out a string of beautiful light.

In an instant, the battle escalated again, and the three figures intertwined in the night. Yi Lei and Ming Zhe cooperated well, and their offense and defense were well-balanced, gradually gaining the upper hand. The man in black was obviously a little overwhelmed, and his movements began to slow down.

At this moment, a close and urgent sound of footsteps came from afar, and it was obvious that there were other people coming. Yi Lei's heart tightened and he secretly complained, thinking that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time and he must not delay any longer. He suddenly attacked the man in black with a sword, and the sword was as sharp as a storm. The man in black was caught off guard and was forced to retreat several steps.

Taking this opportunity, Yi Lei quickly turned around and shouted to Mingzhe beside him: "Brother Mingzhe, let's go!"

Mingzhe nodded in understanding, and then the two of them quickly withdrew from the battle and ran towards the direction where the old man was. Their steps were vigorous and light, and their speed was so fast that they seemed to merge with the wind. They had no time to pay attention to the roar of the man in black behind them. They had only one thought in their minds - find the old man quickly. Only in this way can they uncover the big secret behind the box! Not only that, they must also ensure that the old man is safe and sound and not killed by those men in black...

The two finally arrived at the old man's hut and knocked on the door breathlessly. But the room was silent and there was no response. Yi Lei felt uneasy.

"Nothing will happen, right?" Mingzhe asked in a low voice, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

Yi Lei gritted his teeth and decided not to wait any longer. He pushed the door open. The door creaked open, and the room was dark. Only a few faint moonlight came in through the window, and he could barely see the furnishings in the room.

"Old sir?" Mingzhe called out tentatively, but still no response.

The two walked into the house cautiously and looked around. The house was in a mess, with tables and chairs tilted all over the place, obviously after a fierce fight. Yi Lei's heart sank suddenly, were they too late?

Suddenly, Mingzhe noticed something strange in the corner: "Yilei, there is blood here!"
