Chapter 52 The Old Nest
After reading the things in the wooden box, Chen Sheng almost understood why the style of this underground building is like this.
It is entirely based on the "Secret Art of Ascension of Immortality". In general, it is to die to death. If you use this secret art, you will definitely die in the end. After death, you will not go to the underworld, but ascend to become an immortal.
The original owner here belongs to the scientific freak in the world of immortal cultivation, and the practical school among the fantasy cultivators in the world of demons. They follow the path of medical immortal cultivation.
I just don’t know who can build such a large alternative tomb underground. Although it is unfinished, it should have a reputation in history.
It must be either the Xie family, it was much earlier here.
The Xie family probably discovered this place more than two hundred years ago and plundered the wealth here, and then they began to make a fortune.
But there shouldn't be much wealth.
The original owner here didn't know what happened. The project was not completed. In the end, it was just a good product. The body was not buried here. Only two medical books and a brocade were placed.
With two medical books, the Xie family has gained a reputation as a medical heirloom, and this place has become a place where the Xie family store their wealth.
Just as I was thinking about this, I paused my hand to flip the book, and when I closed the wooden box, I put the medical books and brocade into the space, and then walked towards the depths of the hall.
As soon as the group entered the hall, they were attracted by the box placed in the middle. They did not find a big hole in the dark corner of the wall.
The diameter of the hole is about 1.5 meters, and it was dug by man. The walls and pits are very rough.
Standing at the entrance of the cave, you can feel the occasional breeze blowing, mixed with the sound of just talking and talking.
It was the conversation that attracted Chen Sheng's attention and discovered this place.
But the voice of the words was very vague and intermittent, and even with Chen Sheng's ears, he couldn't hear the specific content clearly.
"Master?" The girls also followed. They could not hear the conversation, but were surprised to find another passage, and compared with the passage when they came, this one was obviously much worse.
"I heard someone talking. I should be able to go out here, and the passage is not long. You can stay here and wait for me, I'll go in and take a look." Chen Sheng explained, then bent over and crawled in.
The passage is stretched upwards, and the slope is very steep. Fortunately, there is a digging pit every other step, which is not very difficult to walk.
But I didn't know what was going on above, Chen Sheng didn't ignite the torch, and the passage was pitch black, so Chen Sheng could only grop and move forward carefully.
After walking upwards for about three or four hundred meters, the slope disappeared, the space became slightly wider, you could stand up and walk straight, and there was a little light in front of you.
After walking a hundred meters further forward, he arrived at the bright light. Chen Sheng found himself standing at the wall of a well. He leaned out and looked up. Through the wellhead, he could see the crescent moon in the sky.
At this moment, the conversation outside finally became clear.
"...What do you think you should do? You can't just break up, you won't take revenge?" a majestic voice said angrily.
"If you take revenge, you know how to take revenge and live a good life? The young master wants to take revenge, but he ends up losing his life. Mr. Xu wants to help the young master revenge, but the result is that he died on the young master's grave. Are we better than the young master or have the ability than Mr. Xu, and can we beat Sha's surname?" a hoarse voice replied.
"If you can't fight, you have to fight. The Xie family has great kindness to us. Before his death, the master entrusted the young master to us. Now the young master is dead at the hands of Sha. We have not protected the young master well, can't we even avenge him?" The majestic voice raised the volume.
"The Xie family is good to us, but ten years ago, we didn't even care about our family and tried our best to rescue the young master. Isn't it enough to repay our kindness? Is it too late to hide in this valley for the past ten years, raise the young master, and run for him. Isn't it enough to repay our kindness? Do you have to give your life back to the Xie family?" The hoarse voice also became excited.
"Shouldn't it be right? We are originally servants of the Xie family. Besides, have the gold that the young master gave you fed to dogs over the years?"
"What's the use of gold in this broken place? Can you buy wine or meat? You can just feed the dog, but you don't even eat it."
"When you entered the city with the young master, you have been to Wanhualou a lot."
"When I'm here, are you going less than me?"
"Okay, Captain An and Accountant Li, don't argue. Now the young master and Mr. Xu are gone. We have no backbone, and we must be united and not have internal conflicts." An old voice said.
"Then Manager Liu, please be careful. Whether to leave or stay, whether to take revenge or break up, there must be a charter. Here you are old and senior, we all listen to you..."
After hearing this, Chen Sheng had already roughly understood what was going on with these people.
This should be Xie Shen's nest. These people were the servants and guards of the Xie family who escaped from protecting Xie Shen.
They were the backup plan arranged by Dr. Xu. But when they arrived at the Xie family's ancestral tomb, Chen Sheng and others had already entered the underground passage. There were only a piece of corpse left in the Xie family's ancestral tomb. These people had to return to their nests to discuss countermeasures.
There is no need to listen to the following words. Chen Sheng entered the well from the passage, supported his hands and feet alternately, and climbed up quietly.
When he arrived at the wellhead, Chen Sheng looked slightly and observed the situation.
Twenty or thirty meters away there is a row of wooden houses built together, with a total of five rooms. Only the larger one in the middle is lit with oil lamps, and the figures are shining on the windows by the lights.
The paper-paste window was supported by a wooden stick, but the angle was not large, so Chen Sheng could not see the situation inside, so it was not clear how many people were.
But in the same way, people in the house could not observe the well through the window.
Chen Sheng quietly left the wellhead and hid behind the wheel and the bucket next to him.
The bucket was still wet. It was probably because someone was fetching water just now. When he was picking up the bucket from the wellhead, he was talking to the wellhead, and then Chen Sheng heard it.
Chen Sheng did not move rashly towards the house, but slowly retreated, retreated a few dozen meters away, and then went around for half a circle, first coming outside the house with black lights on the left.
Carefully open a hole in the window paper, observe inward, and after confirming that there is no one, it will be the second place on the left hand and repeat the previous operation.
Then he went back, walked around from the back of the room to the house on the right, and checked it again, until he was sure that there was no one on the houses on both sides, Chen Sheng came out of the window of the middle room.
"...Manager Liu, has Mr. Xu mentioned to you about the old ku of the Xie family before? Without money, let alone taking revenge, how to survive will be a problem." At this time, a hoarse voice in the room said.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes turned to Manager Liu.
Chen Sheng did not miss this good opportunity, and a grenade was thrown into the gap where the window opened.
"What..."
"Not good, it's a grenade..."
boom
Chen Sheng got up from the ground, not caring about shaking off the dust and wood chips on his body, stood outside, shooting inward from the window where the air waves were blown away by the window sash. Regardless of whether he died or not, he shot him on the head.
After dealing with the people in the house, Chen Sheng walked around again and confirmed that there were no fish that had escaped the net, and then returned to the edge of the well.
Calculate the distance, tie the rope on the bucket on the wheel, slide down the rope, and return to the channel.
In the hall, when Chen Sheng came out, several girls surrounded the entrance of the cave and were waiting anxiously.
"Master, how about it?" Xiao Liu was imprisoned in an underground secret room for three years and was very disliked such a closed underground environment. As soon as Chen Sheng came out, he hurriedly asked.
"It's indeed the exit. The passage is not long, only a few hundred meters. After going out, it was Xie Shen's nest. When he encountered the enemy, he delayed a little time." Chen Sheng nodded and said, "There is nothing to stay here. Let's go out first. Hu Niu, this time you go ahead and exit in a well. After you go up, pull the wife, Chunlan and the others up with a bucket."
"Okay, lord."
