Cypress Boat Floating

Zhang Quansheng was worthy of being the most famous array-breaking expert in Da'an. In a short while, he led them to break the maze.

The moment a few people walked out of the maze, they saw a small house in front of them. They didn't know if there was anyone living in it. At this time, Master Liu started to speak in a mysterious way again.

"There must be a ghost in this house. We can't go there. We must get down the mountain quickly. Otherwise, if we are discovered, we will definitely be killed."

Zhang Quansheng was so angry that he slapped him on the back, and the slap almost made his lungs pop out: "Don't talk nonsense here. The Eighth Prince is here, so there won't be any ghosts or monsters coming out. Besides, this formation was set up by just one person, you better look at it carefully!" Zhang Quansheng was so angry at Master Liu's nonsense that he wanted to sew his mouth shut.

Among the five people present at the scene, it is estimated that only Liu Hanyun understands Master Liu. The other three people are indifferent to what Master Liu says.

Master Liu was frightened by Zhang Quansheng and didn't dare to say anything. He closed his mouth and followed them closely.

"Your Highness, how about I go over and take a look?" After Zhang Quansheng finished talking about Master Liu, he turned around and asked Lu Ci Qiu.

Lu Ci Qiu looked at the small house in front of him, a little puzzled. Zhang Quansheng suggested that they go and take a look, but he always felt that the small house was weird, so it would be better for everyone to go together to avoid getting lost.

"Let's go together." Lu Ci Qiu said.

Ye Jianqing naturally had no objection. Just like in horror movies, when something happens, the main group will split up to investigate. Only fools would split up. If something happens when they stay together, at least everyone is together and can discuss things. Moreover, one more person means one more direction to think in. If they split up, what if they are defeated one by one by others?

Seeing that everyone agreed to move together, the formation, led by Zhang Quansheng and with Ye Jianqing as the tail, continued to move forward.

Ye Jianqing looked at the four people in front from behind. She didn't know why she always felt that Liu Hanyun and Master Liu were so afraid to go up the mountain not only because of the so-called mountain spirits and wild monsters, but there must be other reasons. Although Liu Hanyun was afraid, at least he remained calm. But Master Liu was timid and looked around, looking like a guilty thief. Moreover, he just kept saying that there was a ghost in the hut. It seems that this person has a story! Ye Jianqing planned to find an opportunity to test them later.

Several people quickly walked to the front of the hut. The hut was overgrown with weeds and covered with dust. It looked like no one had lived in it for a long time.

"This house looks like no one has lived in it for a long time, but why is there a maze outside the house?" Zhang Quansheng was puzzled.

Master Liu and Liu Hanyun stood at the door and didn't dare to come in, while the remaining three checked the house inside and out.

"Strange!" Suddenly, Ye Jianqing seemed to have discovered something and asked a question.

"What's wrong?" Hearing Ye Jianqing's voice, Lu Ci Qiu hurried to her side.

"Look, there seems to be a crack here. Is there a secret passage?" Ye Jianqing pointed to a crack in the wall and said to Lu Ciqiu, "And I can clearly feel the wind when I put my hand over it."

Hearing their words, Zhang Quansheng hurried over and fumbled around the wall and tried to push it. He also discovered the secret of the wall and told everyone about his discovery.

"You are right. There is indeed a secret passage here, but it can only be opened by finding a mechanism. It won't work if you force it. Sister Xiaoqing has very sharp eyes. She can find it even in this way."

Ye Jianqing smiled and said, "Then let's find the mechanism quickly."

Several people gathered around the wall and began to study it. Liu Hanyun and Master Liu felt embarrassed to just stand outside and watch. Even the Eighth Prince was working on it himself, so how could they dare not just stand there and do nothing? So they ran in to help look for it.

But you know what, Liu Hanyun actually found this mechanism. I don’t know where he pressed the button, but suddenly the door of the secret room creaked and then started to turn.

"This... I don't know anything." Liu Hanyun looked confused. Everyone thought he was a blind cat that had caught a dead mouse. Anyway, it was enough that the door was open now.

Ye Jianqing looked at the long passage leading to the secret room and said, "Arrange someone to guard outside, let's go in and take a look."

Zhang Quansheng looked around and to be honest, he now regretted why he didn't bring two more people. Among the five people here, the only ones he didn't trust were Liu Hanyun and Master Liu. But leaving Lu Ci Qiu here didn't seem to be a good idea, so he decided to leave Ye Jianqing here. Ye Jianqing's martial arts skills were also good, and he could help deal with anything if they encountered anything inside.

Finally, Zhang Quansheng decided to go in alone: ​​"How about this, Your Highness? You guys wait outside now, and I'll go in and check it out first. I'll let you go in after I'm sure there's no problem?"

Looking at this dark and narrow passage, Lu Ci Qiu was a little worried, but he also understood Zhang Quansheng's concerns, so he had to agree with his idea.

Just as Zhang Quansheng was about to go in, Ye Jianqing stopped him, took out his handkerchief, folded it, and tied it on Zhang Quansheng's face to use as a mask.

"General Zhang, we don't know how long this secret passage has been sealed. We don't know if there is any smell inside that would have a bad effect on people. Although this handkerchief is not very effective, it can at least block some of the smell. Please be careful."

"Thank you, Sister Xiaoqing." Zhang Quansheng was very grateful for Ye Jianqing's behavior.

At the same time, he was a little surprised that Ye Jianqing could pay attention to this. Along the way, he found that Ye Jianqing's martial arts were not weak, and his brain was also very good. Now, he can only use one word to describe him, that is, "bold and careful". He is very brave, as can be seen from the last bandit.

She is also very meticulous. On the way to South City, she discovered some things that Zhang Quansheng did not find.

Zhang Quansheng suddenly sighed: If Ye Jianqing was a man, I would definitely accept him as my apprentice!

Zhang Quansheng put on a handkerchief and mask, then walked straight into the secret passage. Ye Jianqing and Lu Ci Qiu stood outside watching his figure.

Soon, his figure disappeared from their sight and blended completely into the darkness, with only the sound of his footsteps echoing in the passage.

"Why is there a small house here, and why is there a secret passage in the house?" They were not idle during the time they were waiting for news about Zhang Quansheng. They were looking for clues and discussing at the same time.

"County Magistrate Liu, has anyone lived here before?" Lu Ci Qiu asked Liu Hanyun.

Liu Hanyun avoided the gaze and said "I don't know" after a long time.

Ye Jianqing felt strange and looked at him, but he was evasive and didn't dare to look at Ye Jianqing at all. Ye Jianqing didn't say anything, but just continued to look for things silently, but he still remembered the incident to some extent.

Soon, General Zhang came out.

"How is it?" Lu Ci Qiu hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

Zhang Quansheng shook his head. "It's too dark in there, I can't see anything, and it feels really big inside. We need to find a torch first to bring some light in."

What Zhang Quansheng said made sense. It was pitch black inside and nothing could be seen clearly. It would be better to get a torch to go in. Everyone agreed to find a torch before going in.

So several people dispersed to look for torches, but after searching for a while they couldn't find any. Zhang Quansheng said that he and Ye Jianqing could go out and get some dry firewood.

Ye Jianqing also agreed, so he followed him out to find firewood, leaving Lu Ci Qiu and Master Liu Hanyun waiting in the cabin.

Lu Ciqiu also has some kung fu skills, and he also brought a sword with him today, so Ye Jianqing didn't worry about his safety, and they were just going there for a while, so nothing should happen. But she was very curious about why Zhang Quansheng had sent her out on purpose.

"General Zhang, we are already quite far away. Tell me why you specifically called me out." Seeing that the two of them were already far away from the hut, Ye Jianqing stopped Zhang Quansheng who was in front of them.

Zhang Quansheng looked around and confirmed that no one was there. He walked up to Ye Jianqing and whispered, "I just saw a corpse in there."

Ye Jianqing frowned when he heard this. The bones meant that there had been a homicide in this place. Then the so-called murders by monsters in the past few years must have been done intentionally.

"Are you sure?"

"Of course I am sure. This general has killed so many people and seen so many corpses. How could I not recognize this?" Zhang Quansheng had no doubt about his ability.

"That's strange. Why are there corpses here?"

"Someone must have killed someone and dumped the body here, and this must be related to the maze in front." Zhang Quansheng couldn't help but connect the corpse in the secret passage with the maze outside.

"You mean, the maze is meant to hide this hut and this secret passage?" Ye Jianqing asked.

Zhang Quansheng nodded. This was how he felt. “Besides, I suspect someone may know that we are going up the mountain today. They are afraid that we will discover the secret of the hut, so they added a killing array to the maze, hoping that we will die outside. And if the news gets out, they can say that we were killed by the monsters in Sannan Mountain.”

Ye Jianqing picked up the firewood in front of him and listened to Zhang Quansheng's opinions. After Zhang Quansheng finished speaking, they suddenly looked at each other.

"Oh no! The Eighth Prince!"

Yes, the only ones who knew that they were going up the mountain were Nan Chengyi, Liu Hanyun and Zhao Wenbin. Nan Chengyi had agreed with Zhao Wenbin to kill Lu Ci Qiu together. It just so happened that there was this rumor on the mountain, so the opportunity was given to them.

If they don't take action now, when will they take action? That's why they added an arrow array into the maze, probably to kill Lu Ci Qiu.

Liu Hanyun, who was traveling with them, was Nan Chengyi's man. Since he had discovered that Lu Ci Qiu did not die in the maze, and there were only three of them left in the cabin, wouldn't he continue to attack him?

The two of them thought of this at the same time and hurried back to the cabin.
