    Going around the screen, there is a stone corridor inlaid with stone steps in front of it. The Zhao residence is generally facing the north, and it will make people feel very cold after entering.

    "Look at the end of this road, what is that?" Xie Jin just took a few steps and looked up to see what was at the end of the stone road, because there was still a certain distance from where they were now, plus the backlight of the house , leaving that thing almost mostly hidden in the shadows.

    But if you look closely, you can still make out that the fuzzy outline is clearly a black lacquer coffin.

    From the visual point of view, this coffin is at least a circle larger than the one seen in the old house of the Li family. It seems that it is not just a single-layer coffin, but a set of coffins with a coffin.

    "So, it is true that every household in Badong Village has a coffin." The three looked at each other and approached the black lacquer coffin.

    From the limited sunlight into the shadow, for some unknown reason, every pore of the skin was penetrated by an invisible chill, Xie Jin couldn't help shivering, he suddenly felt as if someone was watching him behind him.

    He looked back and saw that the gravel road they had walked on had been left far behind. There was something swaying in the inexplicable grass. He opened his eyes and happened to meet that thing.

    "Everyone, be careful, there are snakes in the grass." Xie Jin kept his back close to the left wall and as far away from the grass as possible. His eyes were still looking at things in the grass. The snake was not afraid of people, so he stood upright. Leng Leng "standing" there.

    "It's fine, it won't be too dangerous." Wen Liang glanced in that direction, his hand made a chopping motion in the air, and said mysteriously, "I wonder if you have ever hit a snake when you were young? Remember to hit seven inches, the non-venomous snakes caught are squeezed out of the venom glands, peeled and roasted to eat."

    When Xie Jin looked back again, where was the shadow of the snake in the grass? Wen Liang smiled a bit presumptuously, "Did you see it? As soon as I heard that he was going to be skinned and eaten, he disappeared instantly."

    "Be a little more serious, anyway, this is someone's yard." Ji Duan touched Wen Liang with his shoulder, "and I don't think the one or two little snakes are enough to stick between your teeth, you have to find some big ones if you want to eat them, here It seems to be a snake nest, there should be the kind you are looking for."

    The two looked at each other and laughed sullenly at the same time. Xie Jin always felt that they were more and more similar to some extent, "Don't make trouble, hurry up and look at the coffin."

    Xie Jin took a few steps forward, and when he was approaching the coffin, he suddenly stopped, he looked at the top of the coffin in surprise, the light smile that appeared just now suddenly froze on his face, "... This is the coffin, has it been opened just now?"

    The eyes, who were already familiar with the brightness of the shadows, could not see clearly now. The lid of the black gold-coated coffin was clearly opened by something, and there was a faint transparent viscous liquid on it.

    "You guys step back and I'll go take a look." Wen Liang put away his sullen expression, and he only looked forward. The gap opened by the coffin lid was as thick as an adult's arm, and he looked inside without a flashlight. Looking at it, there is only darkness, like an endless black hole.

    Just as Xie Jin wanted to tell him to be careful, he saw Wen Liang shoved his arm into the gap without warning.

    "It's empty inside." Wen Liang's arm stirred in the coffin for nearly half a minute, but couldn't get anything out. He pulled his arm back from the gap, and it was covered with the transparent mucus he saw on the coffin lid.

    "Come here, to be precise, there is only one coffin liquid inside." Greeting the two of them, Wen Liang dipped the mucus on the coffin lid with his other hand, "Don't you think this looks like some kind of animal's crawling trajectory?"

    "Snake." Ji Duan was close behind Xie Jin, looking at the long crawling traces, he immediately thought of something related to the Zhao family, "This place is like being crawled by an unimaginably thick snake. Does the family keep snakes in the coffin?"

    "It looks like it, but the mucus is still fresh. If a snake of this size climbs out of it, it should make a loud noise."

    Wen Liang pointed to the grass on both sides of the coffin, where there was no trace of being pressed, "The snake probably heard our movement and climbed out of the coffin, but the only strange thing is here, the snake's habit is to It's strange that it goes against nature to drill in the grass instead of the buildings inhabited by people."

    "Unless, unless this is not an ordinary snake?" Xie Jin frowned, he suddenly thought of something along the way of Wen Liang, "I remember that the five immortal families all have real bodies, do you think there is a possibility, eight Tongcun is where the real bodies of those immortals are located?"

    "There is indeed such a possibility. He Nian once told me last night that Badong Village is the entrenched place of the five great immortals. This entrenched place is very clever, and it seems reasonable to push it down according to this statement."

    Wen Liang held his chin with one hand, and the expression on his face gradually became clear, "Before this, I have not figured out the hierarchy of Badong Village, if those five families actually worship the body of the Five Immortals, and other ordinary people follow the It is not only the hegemony of the clan system, but also the monopoly of the five immortals, doesn’t it make sense?”

    No one spoke for a while. There were only rustling noises in the unique courtyard of the Zhao family. Xie Jin subconsciously made a swallowing motion. What crawled out was actually Liu Xian's real body?"

    "Several, what are you doing there?"

    The voice of one of the young men who had led the way suddenly came from behind, and the three of them turned their heads almost at the same time. The young man seemed to have suddenly appeared behind him, standing there quietly.

    "Patriarch Zhao sees that you haven't come in for so long. It turns out that you're lost." The young man was wearing a copper mask, but he still couldn't see any expression on his face. Push open a secret door.

    Is this the entrance to the Zhao family's house? It's probably too hidden.

    The three of them were almost expressionless, but the eyes they looked at Shimen were all suspicious and alert.

    Different from the magnificent courtyard, behind the stone gate is a secret passage that is so simple that it cannot be more simple. The stone walls on both sides are inlaid with brackets in the shape of snake patterns, and the torches are swaying quietly on it.

    They stood at the entrance, and none of them took a step inside, "Mr. Zhao Dong is really inside? In this kind of place?"

    Wen Liang raised his eyebrows and asked the masked youth, if they were ambushed in such a narrow corridor, they would be in a dilemma. The Zhao family is so big, how could the entrance and exit doors be so shabby?

    "Zhao's house has no door, and the only way to get in and out is through these door openings. Once you get in, there will be a hole in the sky. How many people please?" The masked young man seemed to be unable to see the resistance on their faces, and repeatedly urged them to come in with the same tuned voice, " Master Zhao has been waiting for a long time, so you don't need to waste too much time here."

    "Okay, you continue to lead the way." Wen Liang took out his mobile phone and quickly typed a line on the screen. He handed the mobile phone to Xie Jin behind him, "I will take the lead. You two should pay attention to the situation behind you at all times. That willow fairy should still be there." Nearby."

    Snakes prefer the cold and humid cave. It can only be used by one person to make a pass. Eight achievements are made for the Fairy Liu. As for where to lead to the end, you have to walk over to know.

    This time Xie Jin said that he had to walk at the back of the team. He was well aware of Ji Duan's situation. If he faced the attack of the immortal family's body, the consequences would be unimaginable.

    The torches on the wall are only at the position just entering the tunnel, and if you continue to go deeper, there will be a void of darkness. The masked youth walking in the front takes down the torch closest to him, holds it high over his shoulders, and his movements are not like Humanity.

    Seeing this, the three followed suit, and soon the flames that were almost static in place began to falter as they walked forward, and when they walked to certain corners, the flames would sway even more.

    There is a vent in the corridor, and it is not in one place. Although they have walked in almost the same environment for a long time, they are walking upwards based on their current feeling.

    The masked young man who walked in the front didn't say a word. He played the role of guide very competently, even though under the projection of the firelight, there was no shadow of him as a human figure in the corridor beside him.

    At the end of the corridor, a modern concrete floor began to appear. Wen Liang glanced at the waterproof watch, and they actually walked forward in this narrow corridor for more than ten minutes.

    This meant that the underground structure of the Zhao residence was more complex than they had expected. The corridor that they walked through just now had seven inflection points in total. If the whole journey was counted, the corridor was at least several hundred meters long.

    The iron gate at the end of the road was opened by the masked youth. He turned sideways to let the three pass through one after another. The masked face spit out a scarlet letter slightly through the gap.

    "Well then, I wish you all a good time."

    The iron door was closed with a "squeak" under the blunt blessing of the masked youth, and the three of them walked up the concrete stairs inside the iron door. They should be walking from underground to above ground at this time. There will be echoing footsteps in the space.

    Going further up, the rough iron gate turned into a wooden door made of paper. As soon as Wen Liang's hands pasted it, the door was pushed open from the inside out.

    What came into view head-on was a painted screen, and the pattern on it was almost the same as that at the door.

    Looking at the display in the house, although it looks luxurious, it is no different from normal people, except that there are jars of transparent liquid on those sunken wooden shelves, which is the same kind of mucus they saw in the coffin.

    Because there was no one around, the three of them took a few extra glances, and Wen Liang looked to the left one by one according to the array of glass jars, and when he got close to the middle jar, he almost choked for breath.

    It was a glass jar the size of a wine jar. It was a different color from the one next to it, and the things contained in it were also different. I saw that the blood-stained glass jar was crowded with densely packed red snakes. The "thing" that was entangled by the little snakes was struggling hard, and finally squeezed out of the snake group for a moment.

    It was a face, and it was a face they knew.

    It seemed that she saw someone coming, her face became distorted under the constant pressure of the snakes, she made a difficult mouth shape towards Wen Liang: "...help me."

    Wen Liang's eyelids twitched violently, no wonder he had been vaguely aware of Qu Wan's aura from the moment he first stepped into Zhao's house, now that his head was soaked in the glass jar and wrapped around a red snake, who else could there be besides Qu Wan?
