There's nothing wrong with it

Chapter 93
She went out through the door on the other side of the living room, which was the corridor leading to the master bedroom.She walked to the end of the corridor and looked at her watch. It was less than ten minutes before eleven o'clock. "Damn chopsticks, where did you go?" She cursed in a low voice.

There was a "squeak", "You are quite good at cursing people behind your back." Chu Xiu's cool voice sounded from behind.

"Brother Chopsticks!" She shrank her shoulders in fright, and seeing Chu Xiu coming out of a room next to her, she hurriedly asked, "Did you see Qin Xuan and Li Cuimo?"

"Well, they are lying in the front yard now." Chu Xiu casually pointed behind him.

Yeah, she didn't even go out to the front yard to check it out. "So are you here to see me now?" she asked.

"Half." Chu Xiu said perfunctorily, "Qin Xuan and the others seem to be talking about something, so I'm looking around to see if there's anything hidden here."

"Qin Xin said the same thing." She remembered Qin Xin's weird laugh when she talked about it.

"That is to say, Zishi should be a very important time for controlling their monsters." Chu Xiu thought about it, "Some monsters will change into human form or back to their original form at a fixed time, and it is also possible that at a specific time There have been changes, and these are all related to the demon's cultivation method. If this demon's spiritual power will increase greatly at the end of the day, I think it will be easy for us to find it." Still can't sense anything now.

"In other words, isn't our chance of winning smaller?" She said angrily. What they have to do is not to find the monster, but to deal with it. If it becomes stronger, it will be even more difficult to deal with ?

"We don't even know where it is now, so what are the odds?" Chu Xiu glanced at her and asked back.

Okay, okay, is it okay for her to admit that she said something wrong?Although she knew that what Chu Xiu said was reasonable, her expression did not reveal the slightest sign of admitting her mistake. "Then you have been watching for so long, have you seen anything hidden?"

Chu Xiu twitched the corner of his lips and said, "I found something interesting."

Interesting stuff? "What?" The chopstick thought it was interesting, but it might not be a normal thing.

"You come in first." Chu Xiu said.

"Is it inside?" She poked her head to look at the darkness of the room. Could there be something in it?

"Don't worry, there are no ghosts inside." Chu Xiubai glanced at her, said, and went straight to the moldy old wooden wardrobe against the wall, opened the door, and removed a wooden board from the bottom of the cabinet, "Come and see."

Zigui curled his lips and followed Chu Xiu into the room.Her eyes quickly adapted to the darkness in the room, and through the faint moonlight streaming in from the window, she saw that after Chu Xiu removed the bottom plate of the cabinet, the bottom was actually empty, and seemed to be connected to a tunnel. "The interesting thing you said is this secret passage?" Could it be that people who have even the slightest relationship with the Huangfu family will dig their own tunnels?Is it necessary to drill tunnels to avoid the Japanese devils in this era? "Did you go in and have a look?"

"Not yet, I'm waiting for you to go with me." Chu Xiu smiled maliciously and took the candlestick on the table, waved his hand on the candle, and the candle was automatically lit.He grabbed Zigui's arm and said, "Come on, let's go in and have a look."

"Aren't we going to find the monster?" She wanted to break away from Chu Xiu's hand, "The monster won't hide in the tunnel, why go in?"

"It's hard to say, maybe it's hiding inside, so we won't notice its evil spirit." Chu Xiu said gloatingly, "Don't worry, there is no Yin Qi inside, and there will be no ghosts."

"Dead chopsticks, the absence of yin energy in them means that there are no ghosts. If there is no evil energy in them, can there be demons?!" she shouted.

I didn't expect this girl to react very quickly. "Maybe there will be clues, and they may also know something about the evil spirit beast." Chu Xiu said.

The current expression of the chopsticks really looks like a human trafficker who is holding candy and trying to abduct children.She glanced at Chu Xiu, "If there is any danger, you have to stand in front."

"Of course." Anyway, the danger is more likely to come from behind.

Chu Xiu took the lead and walked in. The candle was always on, proving that there was oxygen in the secret passage, so he walked forward with confidence.The walls of the secret passage are made of limestone, and the floor is paved with green bricks, so it looks like a very ordinary tunnel.

"Brother Chopsticks, there are patterns on the floor." Zi Gui, who was following Chu Xiu, noticed that not all the green bricks on the ground seemed to be so smooth, and upon closer inspection, some blue bricks were actually carved with patterns.

"It's not uncommon for people in the past to carve patterns on green bricks as a kind of decoration, right?" Chu Xiu seemed to want to prove what he said, squatting down to look at the blue brick with patterns, but found something really surprising “Is this Pixiu—a beast that wards off evil spirits?”

"Could it be related to the evil spirit beast that appeared this time?" Her family was also in the antique business anyway, and she knew a little about these ancient patterns.

"It's possible." Chu Xiu stood up, "Let's go in and have a look."

"Ah."

They walked not far, and saw the first fork in the secret road. "Brother Chopsticks, where are you going?"

"Generally speaking, the main purpose of building this kind of secret passage is to avoid disasters and escape. Judging from the direction leading to the outside of the house, it should be to the right." Chu Xiu said.

Zigui looked at his watch, "It's eleven o'clock in less than five minutes."

"From the route of the secret road we walked just now, it seems that this secret road presents an arc." Chu Xiu closed his eyes and thought for a while, "Maybe..."

"Maybe what?" Zigui asked.

"Didn't I say that there is an ancient magic circle here that seals something?" Chu Xiu turned around and said, "Maybe it is this secret path that forms the pattern of the magic circle."

"According to this, some part of the secret passage was destroyed?" Zigui said, "This kind of tunnel may collapse due to years of disrepair, and after many years of repairing the secret passage, it will be affected by changes in the underground waterway. And it is not impossible for some of the walls to be washed down. We probably came here when we were unlucky enough to hit the critical point of the change of the magic circle."

Unlucky?Chu Xiu looked at the flames that didn't even sway in the secret passage. Could the destruction of the secret passage have something to do with the demon who attacked them this time?

"Unexpectedly, I read it right, you are a person with excellent spiritual power." The slender figure hidden in the shadow of the corner of the corridor revealed a row of shiny teeth, and a neutral but sharp voice followed that A demonic aura appeared together.

That was the laughter she had heard before!
"Quick, deal with him quickly!" the boy shouted, grabbing at Zigui's clothes.

Zigui tried hard to pull his hand away, "Don't keep barking like a chicken or a cat, what are you afraid of if it's your kind!" She just wanted to yell!
"Didn't I say that I'm different from him?" The boy hid behind her and refused to come out.

"Don't worry." The shadow let out a piercing laugh like a blade slicing through iron, "I will eat you all, no one needs to be afraid, you will not be lonely on the road to Huangquan. If it wasn't for a little time wasted by the appearance of a beast, you It's already my dinner."

What a joke!She would rather feed a beast like the evil spirit beast than cheap this sinister centipede! "Did you kill Qin Xin's family?" She asked while waiting for Chu Xiu to appear.

"That's right, their brains are delicious." The centipede came out from the shadows, and Zigui saw its appearance. It was not the weird shape she imagined, but a feminine-looking man, whose face looked distinct under the moonlight. The outside is fair and smooth, a face that would never appear on a man.The centipede looked at her and the boy, and licked his lips, as if reminiscing about something.

"I'm so sorry, I'm not interested in eating centipedes, and I'm even less interested in being eaten by centipedes!" Zigui snorted, she really wanted to beat this centipede and let him know that human beings are not so easy to bully!
The centipede disappeared suddenly.

"Ahhh! He disappeared! He must be trying to attack us!" The boy screamed desperately while grabbing her hand.

"Oh, can you be quiet?" I have never seen a more timid monster than him. Huirong looks soft and weak, but it only "looks". It looks or is actually so useless!She closed her eyes, yes, she could feel the disgusting aura of that centipede, it didn't leave at all, and it was right beside them, maybe just as the vine demon said, that guy was planning to sneak attack them.She kicked the vine demon and said, "Can you stay away?" With her current level, it is hard to say whether she will accidentally hurt the useless and harmful vine demon next to her.

"Where are you hiding?" the boy stammered.

"Where is it safe to go!" Do you still have to ask this?
"But..." The boy always felt that it was too immoral to leave her behind.

What is this guy still mushrooming?She was in a hurry—murderous!She can't control that much anymore! "Dancing fire!" She chanted a spell in the direction of the murderous aura, a ball of fire shot up from the ground, and flew towards the murderous aura that Zigui sensed. Suddenly, the fireball hit something and turned into black smoke gone. "Hmm!" There was a dull pain in her chest like being hit by a palm, this was probably the deepest backlash she experienced. "You want to hurt me with such a simple spell?" The centipede sneered with a non-masculine and non-female voice, and "whoosh" rushed in front of her, choking her neck with one hand.As if subconsciously reacting, Zigui's index finger passed through the centipede's tiger's jaw from below and twisted, and instantly broke free from the centipede's grip, causing the centipede to scream in pain.Zigui tripped while he was falling back in pain, and easily tripped the centipede to the ground.

She breathed a sigh of relief, in terms of spells, she might not be able to defeat this insidious centipede, but not necessarily in a fight.Anyway, she wanted to beat up the centipede, and now it was just right.

"You are amazing." The boy sighed admiringly.

"You haven't left yet?" She was so happy to watch the excitement, but she was still worried that she might accidentally hurt this guy. Now it seems that even if he was burned into vine charcoal by her half bucket of water spell, he deserved it!

"Don't worry about you!" The boy smiled stiffly.

What worries her?Are you so frightened that your legs are weak and you can't run?She really wanted to say that, but the situation in front of her didn't allow her to be distracted to criticize this vine demon.

The centipede sat up from the ground, looked at Zigui instead of being angry and laughed.Zigui was vigilant, stepped back in front of the vine demon, and asked in a low voice: "Hey, can you conjure something?"

"What do you want to change?" The boy didn't know what else she wanted to change at this time. Could it be that she was worried that she would not be able to defeat the centipede with her bare hands, and wanted him to change into some knives, guns and sticks?

"It's very simple, that is..." She leaned sideways to pay attention to the actions of the centipede, and at the same time leaned into the boy's ear and told him what she wanted.

"Ah?!" After hearing this, the boy almost froze into a tree as if he had changed back to his original form.
