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?"

Xue Bailing looked up. "I'm afraid of danger."

Chu Ming said, "Then wait for me here. I'll go down and take a look."

Xue Bailing pulled at Chu Ming and said, "That won't do, I'll accompany you down."

Chu Ming said, "Alright, then let's go."

The two of them entered the wall and followed the long stone staircase down. They saw that the stone staircase had some curves and it took the two of them a long time to reach the bottom. If one looked carefully at the bottom, there was only a stone door in front of them. There was a golden lock on the door, and from the crack under the door, it could be seen that the interior was completely dark.

Chu Ming's interest was piqued. He brought up the four techniques and asked Xue Bailing, "Hundred Spirit, can you step back a little?"

When Xue Bailing heard this, he took a few steps back and asked, "Are you planning to break it down by force?"

Chu Ming didn't wait for her to finish speaking before slashing down at the golden lock in half.

Chu Ming put away his sword, pushed open the stone door, and walked in. Xue Bailing, who was behind him, quickly followed.

Xue Bailing saw that the stone door was completely dark and asked, "Can I take out the fire piston now?"

Chu Ming nodded and said, "Sure."

Xue Bailing took out a fire piston, unscrewed the lid, and blew on it.

Chu Ming took the fire piston and looked around. Only then did he realize that the stone house was extremely narrow. In front of him was a golden chest, obviously containing some sort of treasure.

"What's in this box?" Xue Bailing walked up to the chest and prepared to open it, but was stopped by Chu Ming. Without a word, Chu Ming pulled Xue Bailing to his side and used the four swords to prop up the chest. Once the chest was opened, a few short arrows flew out and pierced the top of the chest.

"I think you're just messing around!" Chu Ming said, "You really don't know your place. Such a mysterious thing would definitely have some kind of concealed weapon. You shouldn't worry about it!"

Xue Bailing pursed his lips. "What do you think!"

"What can we do? At most, we'll just be nailed to it." Chu Ming laughed, "That way of dying is unique too."

"Humph!"

Chu Ming smiled and turned around. He walked up and looked at the treasure in the box. When he saw it, he was shocked.

"Is there anything good there?" Xue Bailing asked. As he spoke, he walked over.

It was a long crystal necklace, and each of the crystals connected to it had a small word engraved on it. However, because the characters were too small, it was impossible to see clearly, but overall, the necklace was very beautiful, especially eye-catching in this dark stone room.

Xue Bailing grabbed the necklace and said, "What a beautiful connection!"

"Then I'll give it to you." Chu Ming laughed.

"This is stealing!" Xue Bailing rolled his eyes at Chu Ming. "You think I need you to send me off?"

Chu Ming said, "This is called offering a flower to the Buddha. Anyways, that old man Shao Zhi is wicked, and he has a lot of money. Isn't it a drop in the bucket for him to have these two?"

Xue Bailing grinned and said, "That's true. This necklace is so beautiful, how wasteful would it be to leave it to that rotten old man? I'll be a beauty in adulthood then!"

"Let's see what good stuff there is. If I had the ability, I would really want to move this box." Chu Ming reached his hand in and saw a teardrop-shaped gem. He liked it very much. He took it out and said, "This thing is really good at making."

"Ah!" Tears of Acacia! " Xue Bailing exclaimed loudly when he saw the gem.

Chu Ming was puzzled and asked, "What are these lovesick tears?"

Xue Bailing explained, "I once read in a book in my home that the Nuwa from ancient times bid farewell to Fuxi, the person they loved and loved the most, leaving behind a teardrop. Later on, Fuxi used that teardrop to bestow spirituality on it, and it was said that as long as a woman left a drop of her blood on the teardrop, the man would be able to engrave the woman's appearance into his memory. If there was a man who was wholeheartedly in love with her, then that man would be able to see her figure in those love-tears."

Chu Ming looked at Xue Bailing in disbelief, "Is it true or not, is there something so strange about it?"

When Xue Bailing heard this, he thought for a moment. Then, he suddenly took away the lovesick tear, bit his finger, and dripped his blood onto the lovesick tear. He then closed his eyes and held the tears tightly in his hands.

Chu Ming said, "What are you doing?"
