"I heard some strange noises in the street next door yesterday." Ruhua, who was selling steamed cakes at the door, said curiously to the kid next to her, "Is someone getting married?"
"I don't know." Chu Changzui said in a baby voice while chewing on a steamed cake, "Maybe they were catching mice."
"How strange." Ruhua said to herself. She glanced at Xiaobai, smiled and lowered her head and said, "Do you like to eat this? I see that your inn seems to have a girl who likes to wear white clothes recently. Is she your new partner?"
"Her..." When Chu Changzui mentioned this person, he suddenly felt that the steamed cake in his hand was not fragrant.
The woman actually stayed there so openly. Although she paid the rent, she had only paid for half a year. She was visiting relatives here, but her relatives got into trouble and she had no choice but to live in the inn.
The shopkeeper actually believed the answer to the question, which had so many answers, and let the woman stay there openly.
Chu Changzui felt that this was definitely a backdoor, otherwise, how could an old man believe such an excuse that sounded full of loopholes?
"What a sin, this is a sin." Chu Changzui shook his head and sighed, while stuffing the pancake into his mouth.
But he couldn't say anything.
Because the woman was really capable. After getting in touch with her during this period of time, Chu Changzui had only one evaluation of her.
- A shrewd person.
Chu Changzui knew that this woman must be a very ruthless person, as she could make Li Qi, who had a bad temper, just give her a cold look instead of attacking her.
People around here all had a good impression of that woman. She was very good at dealing with people, and even when she went to buy rouge, people would give her a few cents off.
It was indeed impossible to catch such a woman by the braid, so Chu Changzui could only hold his anger secretly.
"How was your stay in the inn today?" Feng Qing said to Bai Yan'er with a smile.
She was actually quite happy. She
had been here for so long, and although there were many employees, and each of them was very well behaved, after all, there were no sisters of the same age to play with.
As the saying goes, after people's basic desires are satisfied, they will always desire something more high-end. After becoming a shopkeeper, Feng Qing, who has always been a social phobia, actually began to secretly fantasize about whether there is anyone who can go shopping and strolling with her.
Feng Qing originally thought that her dream might never come true in this lifetime, but she didn't expect that after a long time and a different situation, she actually found such a person.
"The rouge in the powder shop is really beautiful today." Bai Yan'er said to Feng Qing with a smile. She smiled and took out the rouge box she bought today to show Feng Qing, with a sparkling light in her eyes.
Feng Qing felt overjoyed instantly.
A normal life of a normal girl.
One day, someone will actually share the rouge she bought with her. Such a touching feeling...
"Yes." Feng Qing was afraid that the expression on his face would scare Bai Yan'er, so he immediately restrained his expression, lowered his voice, and said seriously:
"Yes, it's really beautiful."
Bai Yan'er's face instantly became hot again.
"What's wrong with that guy Bai Yan'er?" Two people outside the room whispered.
"She said that although she has attracted Feng Wuhen now, she can't stop Feng Wuhen from killing people." A person next to him whispered.
"So Xuanyuanxing is really dead?"
"I think so." The person outside whispered, "But Bai Yan'er has been in the inn for so long, and she hasn't even figured out the internal structure of the inn. Her speed is too slow." "
Is that true?" The person next to him asked in a serious tone, "That there is actually a secret passage in the inn?"
"Yes, it's true."
"Feng Wuhen must think she is hiding well, right?" The person next to him sneered when he heard it.
"Unfortunately, if it weren't for Master Mo, her plan would have succeeded."
"But now... Master Mo has seen through everything."
...
Mo is originally a relatively rare surname.
In the world of martial arts, some people's identities can often be distinguished by some special surnames.
And this so-called Master Mo, his full name is Mo Huanyan.
——The 26th generation descendant of the Mohist school, proficient in mechanical arts, and familiar with all kinds of machinery.
The world has always known that some of Feng Wuhen's men often come in and out of this nameless inn. They all believe that there is a secret passage hidden underneath, but for so long, no one still knows the correct location of the secret passage. There
are also some "guests" who often enter the inn, trying to find the location of the secret passage, but they all find nothing.
That mysterious place seems to be hidden deliberately. Although it cannot be seen, it attracts the hearts of countless people.
However...
for some people, the secret passage that seems to be hidden very perfectly is clear to them.
——Mo Huanyan is such a person.
The two people who were monitoring outside returned to the inn where they were staying. In that inn, there was an old man with white hair and beard, who looked elderly.
Despite his age, the old man's eyes were bright and there was no sign of aging.
In front of him was a huge drawing with
all kinds of rooms marked on it. Every length and every height was recorded clearly.
You know, this drawing, which would shock civil engineering students in the future, was drawn by this old man in just three nights.
This was a person who was so sensitive to space and structure that he was almost afraid of it.
"Master Mo, we are back." The two people outside came back and said to Mo Huanyan.
Mo Huanyan didn't even raise his head, and the two people beside him didn't dare to do anything rash, and still stood respectfully by the side.
"Oh, you're back. I'm so sorry, the old man's attention is not good." After a long time, Mo Huanyan seemed to suddenly realize that there was someone next to him. He smiled, and his beard fluttered up with his movement.
"No." The two people beside him said hurriedly, "Master Mo, did you see anything?"
"This inn is indeed a little strange." Mo Huanyan showed the densely drawn drawing to the two people beside him. Although the drawing could only make them dizzy,
they could still understand the almost pure white area on the drawing.
"What is this?" A person beside him said in shock.
"I have been walking around the inn for a long time these days. According to the information you have found out and what I have observed myself, I have drawn all the rooms in this inn." Mo Huanyan said, stroking his beard.
"It's actually quite strange. This inn looks like any other inn on the surface, but it's really a lot of things inside. Many of the architectural styles are a little different from the usual ones."
"Take this kitchen for example." Mo Huanyan pointed to the place marked with the word "map" on the map.
"According to Feng Shui, it shouldn't be here. It's deliberately placed here, as if to prevent the guests outside from seeing it..."
Mo Huanyan was almost talking about this kind of thing.
If archaeologists in the future are lucky enough to find the notes he wrote, I'm afraid there will be another news item on the headlines [Shocking! The wisdom of the ancients is so profound! ]
Most people in the martial arts world have heard of Mo Huanyan's name. After all, he is the descendant of the Mo family. Even if a rookie who has just entered the martial arts world hears these four words, he should know the weight behind them.
But this does not mean that everyone can understand what he said.
The two people next to him were a little confused. Mo Huanyan smiled as if he remembered something and said, "Oh, you see, I am confused again. Why am I telling you this? Let's talk about something serious."
His expression became serious.
"I know why your leader came to me. However, there is no mezzanine in the wall of this inn as your leader said, nor is there a secret passage, let alone a basement."
Mo Huanyan said with emotion, "You can rest assured. If you can't trust others, can you not trust me?"
"But, but..."
Seeing the two people's entanglement, Mo Huanyan suddenly laughed again.
"But you don't have to worry. Although there is no secret passage in this inn, there is a hidden secret room."
"What, what?" The expressions of the two people changed at once.
This news was like a ray of hope for them.
"Yes, it's here." Mo Huanyan pointed to the blank area on the map. "I have counted the rooms nearby. The length and width don't match. Although no one has ever discovered such a place, there should be a small house hidden here."
"!"
...
A secret room.
A secret room that is hidden with great effort.
No matter who it is, upon hearing this combination, three words will pop up in their mind.
"That's it."
The expressions of the two people now can be described as overjoyed.
They thanked Mo Huanyan and said, "Master Mo is worthy of your name. You can tell right away."
"Thank you." Mo Huanyan waved his hands. "It's just a small favor. Your leader has been kind to me. We have done our part. I will take my leave now."
He left. The two people behind him were dumbfounded. They tried to stop him but could only let him go.
"This... Master Mo has left. What should we do?" said one of the remaining two people.
"Ask your men to search." The person next to him said as a matter of course, "Let's use our previous plan to lure them away from the inn, and then we sneak in."
"Hiss, okay." The other person had a headache whenever he thought of Li Guxing, but his face soon turned into a smug look again.
"A secret room that is hidden very deeply and doesn't want to be discovered."
"Tell me, why did the shopkeeper deliberately hide this place?"
...
Feng Qing silently lowered her head and looked at the black hole in front of her.
This black hole, like a secret room, leads to an unknown place.
"Oh my god, it's blocked again, what should I do." She murmured.
"Forget it, find a plunger to clear it, otherwise what else can I do."
