62.

Zi You smiled and said, ”Let's split up for now. I saw that there are still two big rooms behind us, you and Miss Xue go to the one on the right, and I'll go to the one on the left. After that, we'll gather here, and remember to be careful not to run around.

Chu Ming and Xue Bailing nodded.

Without another word, Zi You headed to the left.

Chu Ming looked at Xue Bailing and said, ”Let's go.”

Xue Bailing held Chu Ming's hand and said, ”Let's go.”

The two took a detour to the backyard from the left, and indeed saw two large buildings. The left side was brightly lit, obviously having someone inside, while the right side was completely dark without any noise.

Chu Ming understood and brought Xue Bailing to the right side of the house. He pierced a paper window and looked inside. Xue Bailing, who had been watching from the side, laughed. ”It's pitch black. How can you see it?”

Chu Ming smiled slightly and said, ”It's not like I want to see the situation inside.”

”Then why did you poke your head through the window? Why did you poke your head out to take a look?”

Chu Ming picked up a stone from the ground and lightly stuffed it into the hole. The stone fell onto the ground and made a small sound, but there were two echoes.

Chu Ming laughed, ”Come, let's go in!”

Xue Bailing was pulled over by Chu Ming, and he gently opened the door and walked in.

It was pitch black inside, making it impossible to see his hands in front of his face. Xue Bailing was most afraid of being covered in darkness, so she could only hold tightly onto Chu Ming's arm and ask softly, ”There's no one here, right?”

Chu Ming nodded.

Xue Bailing said anxiously, ”Say something!”

Only then did Chu Ming realize that Xue Bailing could not see him nod, ”There should be no one here, and I think this place must be very spacious. There shouldn't be any decorations here, otherwise there wouldn't have been any response when the stone landed.”

”What kind of nonsense is that?”

Chu Ming pulled Xue Bailing a few steps forward and asked, ”I wonder what is placed here?” Could it be an empty room? ”

”Have you ever seen such a large empty room?” Xue Bailing disdainfully said.

Chu Ming said, ”He's rich, you know? He loves to build rooms and rooms. If he has nothing to do, he can do it himself to cause trouble and vent his anger.”

Xue Bailing said, ”What kind of mentality do you have?! I'll open the fire piston and take a look. ”

Chu Ming quickly stopped him, ”Don't, someone will find out!”

”Then what should we do?” ”We wouldn't be walking around in such a dark place, would we?”

Chu Ming raised his hand and pulled out the four techniques. Once the four techniques were used, the sword blade shone brightly, illuminating a white area of one zhang. Although the light wasn't too good, it was still better than being completely black.

Xue Bailing said, ”Your bird can emit light, but can your sword still be used as a lantern?”

Chu Ming said, ”These four techniques will emit a faint glow at night. If there is a bright moon outside, I will naturally not be able to see too clearly, but in this pitch black area, the sword is like moonlight. This light is like fire, and it's not easy to be discovered.”

Xue Bailing pinched Chu Ming's cheek and said, ”There really are all kinds of treasures here, make me jealous!”

Chu Ming didn't answer and walked around with Xue Bailing. After walking for a while, he realized that it was indeed an empty room. He couldn't help but say, ”Strange, why would there be an empty room in such an important place?”

Xue Bailing said, ”Maybe it's built so that we can put some things in later?”

Chu Ming shook his head and said, ”It doesn't look like it. I'm afraid there must be some sort of secret.”

Xue Bailing said, ”You just like to be suspicious.” As he spoke, he let go of Chu Ming's hands.

After looking for a while, he decided to give up and put down his sword. He placed his left hand on a pillar, and suddenly, with a ”Long” sound, he seemed to have opened something, which surprised the two of them. Chu Ming quickly lifted his sword and went forward, while Xue Bailing followed closely behind. After walking for about twenty steps, the wall in front of them opened up like a door, and there were even a few candlelight spots inside.

Chu Ming said, ”This must be a secret passage. Shall we go take a look?”
