Chapter 386
Feeling the constant peeking eyes from the side, Zhou Ji turned his head and smiled, his indifferent eyes revealing a questioning look.
Nangong Pushe avoided Zhou Ji's gaze, turned around and looked at a hidden secret door opened on the ground, and said clearly, "So there is really a secret passage below."
Zhou Ji looked at Xu Fengnian who was panting while leaning on the bookshelf, and said with a smile, "Do you believe it now?"
"I believe it, I believe it."
Xu Fengnian believed it in his heart when he pushed the bookshelf of the round platform. He walked to the entrance of the tunnel and looked down. The long and narrow steps lead to the deep darkness, and there is no end in sight.
"I've been listening to the tide pavilion coming in and out on weekdays, but I haven't noticed it all the time."
Xu Fengnian pointed at the entrance of the cave and looked up at Zhou Ji, wondering, "What's down here?"
"This is your home, you ask me?" Zhou Ji gave Xu Fengnian a blank look, then reached out with his spiritual sense, bypassed a cave that suppressed Ling Lie's sword energy, and said quietly, "Although I don't know where the tunnel leads to, I I can feel that there is a master suppressed here."
Calling Zhou Ji to be called a master, Nangong Pushe put his hands on Xiudong Chunlei, his expression became dignified.
master
Xu Fengnian was as heartless as ever. Hearing what Zhou Ji said, his first reaction was to think of the old man at the bottom of the lake who was once locked in Chaohu Lake.
"He's stronger than all the old men you've ever seen." Zhou Ji smiled and said, "Maybe Lao Huang who re-entered the Finger Profound Realm plus Zhao Xituan and Wang Chonglou are as strong together?"
"Zhao Xituan is one of the four great celestial masters of dragon and tiger, and Wang Chonglou is the contemporary head of Wudang. With the addition of Jian Jiuhuang's talents, it is hard to say that the following is Deng Tai'a or Wang Xianzhi?" Nangong Pushe frowned, looking In the deep and dark tunnel, the eyes are flickering, and the fighting spirit is sprouting in the heart.
Xu Fengnian glanced at the two, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile, "Why don't you go down and have a look together?"
Nangong Pushe shook his head, jumped onto the bookshelf, leaned on the fence and read his book again.
"Hey~ Aren't you curious about what's down there?" Xu Fengnian ran under the bookshelf and said anxiously.
Nangong Pu shot without raising his head, and said coldly, "Curiosity."
Xu Fengnian was about to ask her why she refused to go down since she was curious.
Flipping a page with his pale and slender jade fingers, Nangong Pushe raised his eyes and said, "Since your father has been hiding the secret from you, if I really go in with you, I'm afraid your father will drive you out of Tide Tide Pavilion."
"Old Zhou." Xu Fengnian turned to look at Zhou Ji, and said with a smile, "Aren't you also afraid of Xu Xiao?"
"Stimulus method?" Zhou Ji shook his head and chuckled, "Suddenly looked towards the door, and said with a strange expression, "It seems that I don't need to accompany you. "
Xu Fengnian looked along Zhou Ji's line of sight, showing doubts, the door suddenly opened, and a majestic and sturdy figure came from outside the door. Seeing the open secret door, he fell into chaos.
"Old." Xu Fengnian subconsciously turned around and looked to the side, only to find that Nangong Pushe was sitting on the far fence quietly reading a book, and Zhou Ji, who was originally standing with him, also ran there at some point, holding a book Pretentiously flipping through, from time to time showing a frowning expression, nodding suddenly.
Xu Fengnian spewed old blood to his chest, squeezed his mouth tightly and forced out an ugly smile, swung his sleeves, tilted his head and said, "I just found out by accident."
The mechanism can be opened without a key. Seeing Xu Fengnian's unspeakable appearance, there are only three of them on the first floor. Xu Xiao doesn't believe that this matter has nothing to do with Zhou Ji Nangong Pushe.
However, his city is very deep, and he is good at hiding his true intentions, so he didn't take it seriously: "It's just right, I asked you to come to Ting Chao Ting to take you down. Since you have opened the secret door, it will save you trouble."
Xu Xiao stuffed the key back into his sleeve, entered the secret passage first, and signaled Xu Fengnian to follow.
Xu Fengnian turned his head and glared at Zhou Ji. Zhou Ji had become Si Teng's book-turning tool full-time at the moment, and he didn't even raise his head, and ignored him at all.
The cave is deep, and only a faint ever-burning lamp illuminates the stone steps. Xu Fengnian followed Xu Xiao, silent for a long time, and then said: "What is hidden under here, even I want to hide it?"
Xu Xiao stopped in his tracks, put away his usual laughing expression, and said in a deep voice, "I can only bring you down if you promise to take over Beiliang."
Xu Fengnian vaguely feels that Xu Xiao today seems to be different from before. Under the flickering light and shadow of the lights, the man in front of him is no longer a father, but a king of Beiliang who shoulders thousands of mountains.
After a long time, Zhou Ji finished reading the strange talk in his hand, glanced at the tunnel, shook his head and smiled slightly, and said goodbye to Nangong Pu and left.
Going down with his spiritual consciousness just now, he has already seen the huge spiritual hall dug deep in the tunnel, and the broken helmets are piled up to form a towering tower, majestic and towering.
Zhou Ji didn't recognize any of the names on the spiritual tablet. They were soldiers who followed Xu Xiao to conquer the kingdoms and sweep the world. Zhou Ji didn't know their names.
Xu Xiao recognized it.
Throwing the anchor of spiritual consciousness into the cave, every step that Zhou Ji took from the Tide Tide Pavilion to Chaohu Lake, every heroic spirit that Xu Xiao cherished rang in his ears.
As Zhou Ji got closer and closer to Chaohu Lake, his consciousness became weaker and weaker. He propped up a reclining chair and cast a pole for fishing, and the consciousness anchored in the Spirit Hall gradually retracted into the sea of consciousness.
Xu Fengnian quietly listened to Xu Xiao's story, telling about these martyrs and their ambitions.
"This Liyang Dynasty, with the imperial examination system, is a hope for all people in the world, rich or poor, high or low." Xu Xiao looked around, turned to look at Xu Fengnian, his torch-like eyes were burning like fire, "Everyone in the world Everyone calls me a human butcher, but if the aristocratic family hadn’t been wiped out during the national war, believe it or not, the way to become an official is still to be recommended by the aristocratic family.”
Xu Xiao looked up at the dome, stretched out his hands and said, "You see the world as a big tree, and those aristocratic families are the thick branches, which take away all the sunlight, and most of the remaining people can only be under the tree. The weeds are gradually withering and rotting, so after cutting off the dead, the world will be reborn, this is their dream, and it is also mine."
There was no old Huang and no old Kui in the mansion, and Zhou Ji was the only fisherman left. Hearing the footsteps behind him, Zhou Ji didn’t turn his head. He raised the fishing rod by his hand and said with a smile: “It seems that the fisherman below The thing touched you a lot, and even your steps became a lot heavier."
"I finally understand why when she told my sister yesterday that she wanted to take over Beiliang, she said that my reasons were not enough." Xu Fengnian sat on another recliner next to her, really wanting to talk to someone.
"I went to see Xu Xiao in the morning, and Xu Xiao also said the same thing. He took me to the depths of the tunnel just now, and added a layer of responsibility to my reason, a layer of responsibility called 'Dream'."
