After a while, the sound of rustling and groping gradually became quieter.

Song Lian approached Lin Cen with a sad face and said disappointedly: "Brother, I didn't find the exit!"

Lin Cen frowned, looked at Chen Jianshui beside him and shook his head. They had searched through the ancestral hall, and there was no clue to the exit, except...

Except for the tablet of the god and the broad mahogany table where the tablet is located, it has not been touched.

Several people turned their attention to the mahogany table in unison, but became wary when they touched the woman sitting cross-legged in front of the table.

On the other side, Yi Lanshan and Yan Shaoting were leaning quietly in the corner, the snow-white balls in their sleeves nestled into a fluffy ball, without any movement at all.

Even the little jewels that Shan Xiu could find were not strange. He could not help but frown, and his dark eyes fell on Zhang Zheng, who had his eyes closed and cultivated.

She did not forget that Zhang Zheng emerged from the ancestral hall. If she had been in the ancestral hall all the time, why was there such a fuss outside? She could still stay in the ancestral hall and be at peace, and the villagers and husband were not happy about her presence in the ancestral hall.

There is no surprise or doubt about what happened.

It can be inferred from this that there must be another space hidden in the ancestral hall, which is most likely the ancestral land that Zhang Zheng mentioned before.

She wanted to talk to Zhang Zheng, but she caught sight of the five people on the other side, so she had to suppress her thoughts for the time being.

Naturally, Yi Lanshan was not the only one who could think of this. Chen Jianshui whispered something in Lin Cen's ear, glancing at Zhang Zheng from time to time, with an intriguing expression.

After another half-quarter of an hour, Zhang Zheng came back to his senses from sitting still. He looked around and saw that no one was busy looking for the exit anymore. Everyone was calming down in the ancestral hall.

Zhang Zheng stood up, patted his clothes, and asked calmly: "Has the guest finished searching? If so, please leave the ancestral hall."

When no one made a move, Lin Cen took a step forward, looked graceful and elegant, and said with a smile: "May I ask this girl, can you tell me where the dark room of the ancestral hall is?"

This is not disguised at all, straight to the point.

Zhang Zheng raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said with an innocent look on his face: "What the guest said about the darkroom, I am just a village girl, I have no knowledge, I really don't understand."

They called her village girls one by one, and she really pretended to be a confused village girl this time.

Lin Cen's expression did not change and he said bluntly: "Girl, don't joke with me. Just now, the girl came out of the ancestral hall. In addition to the darkroom, could the girl also walk through the wall?"

Zhang Zheng suddenly understood and smiled brightly, "My guest, you have misunderstood. I have been in the ancestral hall, but I fell asleep earlier. If the wooden door hadn't hit the wall with a loud bang, I could have slept until dark."

It seems that she refuses to tell where the darkroom is.

Lin Cen's elegant and upright face was a bit ugly. He lowered his dignity and talked to this village girl with nice words. It was her honor, but she actually pretended to be confused to fool them.

His phoenix eyes were half-squinted, and his cold gaze seemed to be soaked in the severe cold of ice, and a murderous intention quickly flashed across it.

There are chance treasures everywhere in the world of mountains and seas. If you waste one more day, you will miss a treasure mountain. You must find a way out today. If this village girl dares to block the way, don't blame her...

"Girl, I am sincerely talking to you. If you insist on pretending to be crazy and acting stupid, the conversation will have to end here."

Seeing his determined look, Zhang Zheng couldn't help but feel hesitant. She had not forgotten that these people were monks from the upper realm. The resources and magic weapons in the upper realm were far more powerful than those in the lower realm. There was no guarantee that the monks in the upper realm would not be able to relieve the suppression of spiritual energy.

magic weapon.

If people are really pushed into a panic, this village will no longer exist and will be wiped out in an instant under the pressure of the golden elixir monks.

Just as she was hesitating, a soft "click" sounded in the dead silent ancestral hall. The extremely small and faint sound was particularly harsh in the dead silent ancestral hall.

Almost at the moment when the "click" sound was heard, Zhang Zheng's expression changed drastically, and he and everyone in the room turned to where the sound came from.

The village chief emerged from the secret passage with his head covered with silver threads. He stared at the equally surprised people in front of him in astonishment. The deeply sunken folds on his face were full of panic.

Noticing that the surprised expressions of several people turned into uncontrollable ecstasy, Zhang Zheng moved slightly and stepped in front of the village chief.

Now that it has been exposed, there is no point in hiding it.

Zhang Zheng stretched out his hand to pull the village chief up from the secret passage, and told the bewildered village chief after condensing the story.

The village chief quickly calmed down, coughed twice and showed his majesty as a village chief, "How many guests want to enter this secret passage?"

Lin Cen and Yi Lanshan responded in unison.

"Can the village chief please be a little accommodating and let us go in for a look?"

"Okay, you can go in if you want, but this is an important place for our tribe. If non-tribes enter, they will be in danger of leaving and never returning. Since you have decided to go, I will not advise you to stop it."

Lin Cen's eyes flashed with a hint of calculation, but he did his best to show off. He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much, village chief, for telling me. I understand your kindness, but we must go."

The village chief looked stiff and unsmiling. He fiddled with the mahogany table a few times. The secret passage under the table opened again. He stepped aside and said, "Then I won't give it away."

The secret passage that was most likely the exit was right in front of him, full of temptation, but Lin Cen stretched out his hands toward Yi Lanshan and the two of them, smiling like a fox, "I have to thank my two fellow Taoists for this.

Fellow Taoist go first."

Before leaving, he tried to smear them secretly, but Yan Shaoting rolled his eyes, he was really a stingy man who was bound to retaliate.

Yi Lanshan looked calm, nodded slightly, did not refuse, just curled her lips towards Zhang Zheng calmly, and took the lead to walk down the secret passage.

Yan Shaoting shrugged and snorted angrily at Lin Cen and the others, and followed Yi Lanshan into the secret passage.

Then came Hu Ke, Song Lian and others, and the last one to enter the secret passage was Lin Cen.

Zhang Zheng had been staring at the movements of several people, and when she met Lin Cen's elegant and gentle eyes, he was looking straight at her with a smile but not a smile.

His eyelids twitched suddenly, and Zhang Zheng quickly reached out to pull the village chief beside the secret passage, but the harsh sound of tearing cloth broke the silence of the ancestral hall. The village chief had been grabbed by Lin Cen who suddenly took action, and fell into the secret passage.

Without thinking, Zhang Zheng jumped into the secret passage. Fortunately, they were still on the stone stairs of the secret passage. Zhang Zheng grabbed the village chief's shoulder, drew wind from his other palm, and hit Lin Cen's chest hard.

The stone staircase was very narrow, quite steep and terrifying, and there was a bottomless abyss at the bottom. Zhang Zheng was almost hanging on the stone staircase with her toes, and she was hanging upside down. The fierce palm wind hit her, and Lin Cen subconsciously wanted to pull him away.

He tried to use the village chief as a shield, but Zhang Zheng grabbed him tightly and refused to move.

Subconsciously letting go of his hand, Lin Cen crossed his hands and used them in front of his chest as a shield.

Seeing that the village chief had been let go, Zhang Zheng's eyes narrowed, and he tightened his waist and abdomen forcefully. He grabbed the village chief's hand and swung it upwards, throwing him out of the secret passage before it could be closed again.

There was a "click" in the secret passage, and the door was closed tightly. At the same time, Zhang Zheng's right palm hit Lin Cen's two blocking hands on the chest. They collided with each other with great force, and the strong wind exploded, knocking the two people away and falling down the stone.
