Screech …
In an old warehouse on the west side of the backyard of the Gongsun Mansion, Wang Yan pushed open a rusty iron door. Behind the door was a staircase that led underground. Below the staircase was an underground secret room that Chen Wenyuan had found behind the mansion. Unfortunately, it had long been abandoned by the Gongsun Family, and Chen Wenyuan had used it to imprison Li Yunyang.
Wang Yan did not have much of an impression of this old man who had brought him, Xia He, and Gao Li to carry out a mission. He had never thought about this before, but now that Chen Wenyuan was dead, and the Black Water thief in Mingkang Town had either died or scattered, it was impossible for Wang Yan to ignore the fact that Li Yunyang had been imprisoned here. After all, they had traveled together, and this old man had tried to protect him when he was cultivating to break through. Wang Yan had not forgotten this little kindness.
However, Wang Yan still cared about Bai Moli. Even though Han Yurou had promised him a time limit of six hours, Wang Yan wanted to return as soon as possible. Therefore, he did not even search for the place where Chen Wenyuan had hidden the gold from the two ghosts of the Zhou Family. He only wanted to release Li Yunyang and then leave.
Therefore, after pushing open the iron door, Wang Yan raised the torch that he had found earlier, used his Qinggong, and floated inside. When he jumped over the last step, a rotten smell hit his face. Obviously, this underground secret room had never seen the light of day. After Chen Wenyuan discovered it, he did not give it a good cleaning. It was not easy for Li Yunyang to stay here for half a year.
Step …
Wang Yan's footsteps echoed in the empty underground secret room. As the footsteps spread, an old and powerless voice came from the underground secret room.
"I won't say. You can go."
Wang Yan looked in the direction of the voice with the light from the torch in his hand. He saw a skinny figure sitting cross-legged facing the wall. Wang Yan took a few steps forward and said, "Senior Li?"
Hearing Wang Yan's voice, the figure trembled slightly, then slowly turned around and stood up. Wang Yan saw that this person's face was full of wrinkles, and his gray eyes were turbid. His dirty and messy gray hair casually fell on his shoulders. His hands and feet were shackled, and there was another shackle on his neck. The shackle was connected to an iron chain, and the other end of the chain was nailed to the wall.
Seeing the person in front of him, Wang Yan immediately recognized that it was Li Yun Yang. However, this old man no longer had the demeanor of a Nurturing Embryo Stage master. Instead, his entire body was filled with an aura of decay. Wang Yan felt that even if he rescued Li Yun Yang, he wouldn't be able to live for long.
"You are …"
Li Yunyang could see that this person was not one of the Black Water thief's men. His eyes immediately recovered some spirit, and he couldn't help but take two steps forward. His eyes fell on Wang Yan's face and carefully looked at him. After a while, Li Yunyang's face showed a touch of surprise, and he said with some excitement, "You are Wang Yan, little friend Wang?"
"That's me."
"Little friend, why are you here? Could it be … "
Speaking up to this point, Li Yunyang's face changed, and he said, "Could it be that little friend has also surrendered to the Black Water thief, and is helping Poison Scholar to persuade you?"
Hearing this, Wang Yan shook his head. He was also too lazy to explain. He just untied the brocade cloth on his waist, revealing Chen Wenyuan's severed head. Seeing this, Li Yunyang's face immediately changed. He immediately wanted to say something, but Wang Yan spoke first, "Wang Yan won't say much about the reason. Now that the Black Water thief in Mingkang Town has been wiped out, this junior learned of senior's news from a thief, so I came to rescue you.
However, this junior had other matters to attend to, so I had to leave after sending senior out of Mingkang Town. “
As he said this, Wang Yan handed the torch in his hand to Li Yunyang. Without waiting for a response, he immediately swung the sword in his left hand several times, and with a "ding ding" sound, the shackles on Li Yunyang's body were all cut open.
"Senior Li, let's go."
Li Yunyang seemed to have not recovered from the shock of seeing Chen Wenyuan's severed head, and only followed behind Wang Yan in a stupefied manner. However, when he and Wang Yan walked all the way out of the underground secret chamber and saw the light of day again, the old man finally came back to his senses, and murmured, "Dead, they're all dead, my great hatred has finally been avenged!"
As he spoke, Li Yunyang's old tears flowed down. Seeing this, Wang Yan was about to comfort him, but he did not expect Li Yunyang to raise his head to look at him, and said, "Little friend Wang, previously I was entrusted by Gongsun Sanniang to assassinate Kang Jianmin with you. Although it was not a complete success, Kang Jianmin still died. Now I am trapped by Chen Wenyuan, and thanks to your rescue, my old life is not worth much, but I, Li Yunyang, cannot not repay this kindness. "
"Senior is too serious."
Wang Yan only saved Li Yunyang to repay a little kindness, and as for the Gongsun family's secret vault, Wang Yan did not think much about it. In his opinion, if Li Yunyang really knew the location of the secret vault, he would have been unable to withstand Chen Wenyuan's cruel methods and spit it out. However, he was imprisoned for half a year, and Chen Wenyuan turned the Gongsun family's mansion upside down, but still could not find the secret vault. It could be seen that the family heirloom promised by Gongsun Sanniang was just a trick, and the reward for assassinating Kang Jianmin was the few hundred taels of gold that could not be cashed for the time being.
"How can you say that it's too serious when you saved my life?"
Li Yunyang obviously attached great importance to Wang Yan's rescue, and he immediately said, "Little friend, do you still remember what Gongsun Sanniang said about the family heirloom?"
"Could it be that the Gongsun family really has a secret vault?"
Wang Yan looked surprised. Seeing this, Li Yunyang smiled and nodded, saying, "Little friend, come with me."
Wang Yan did not expect that Li Yunyang would really know the location of the secret vault as Gongsun Sanniang said. His expression changed quickly, but in the end, he still followed behind Li Yunyang.
After seeing the sun again, Li Yunyang could not help but feel a little more alive. After the Internal Qi in his body started to circulate, he seemed to be more energetic. Therefore, he used his Lightness Skill and led Wang Yan to the bamboo forest next to Qiming Tower. There was a well in front of the bamboo forest. The water in the well was sparkling, and there were still water stains in the bucket beside the well. Obviously, when Chen Wenyuan lived here, he also drank water from this well.
Seeing Li Yunyang stop in front of the well, Wang Yan said with some disbelief, "Could it be that the secret vault of the Gongsun family is in this well?"
Li Yunyang smiled and did not answer. He just bent down and knocked on the edge of the well. After a while, he actually pressed on a few bricks on the well, and the bricks immediately sank a little. Then, Wang Yan only felt a slight vibration under his feet. During this vibration, the water in the well sank rapidly, and soon, the bottom could be seen.
"Little friend, the secret vault has been found. Come with me."
After saying this, Li Yunyang took the torch and jumped into the well. When he saw the bottom, Wang Yan followed the light of the torch and saw that one side of the well wall was actually empty. Obviously, the secret vault of the Gongsun family was in this well. Seeing this, Wang Yan no longer hesitated and jumped down. When he landed at the bottom of the well, he saw that Li Yunyang had already stepped behind the wall of the well.
Behind the wall of the well was a narrow stone room. It was empty except for a desk. On the desk, there were three items: an old yellow scroll, a square jade seal, and a very strange sword.
Li Yunyang picked up the seal on the table and said with a smile, "Although San Niang has many tricks up her sleeves, she did not lie too much about the blood feud she bore. It's just that the seal that makes the gold note effective is not on her body, but in this secret vault. If we could successfully kill Kang Jianmin, this seal would naturally belong to you."
Without waiting for Wang Yan to finish speaking, Li Yunyang handed over the seal, which Wang Yan naturally accepted. With this, the five hundred gold notes he had on him could be taken into effect. It could be considered as an additional sum of money. In addition to the money he had gotten from robbing people together with Xia He previously, it would not be a problem for him to go to Grandmother Long to exchange for another Solitary Heart Sword Technique.
Immediately after, Li Yunyang picked up the old yellow scroll and handed it to Wang Yan. He said, "This is the ancient book that the Gongsun family has collected. Its origin is no longer verifiable. I have studied this ancient book in the past, but I thought that the Chinese characters are very difficult to understand. Little friend, you can study it in the future, but don't lose yourself in it and forget the essence of us martial artists."
Li Yunyang's words carried a warning, but it made Wang Yan even more curious. He did not know what mysteries this ancient book had. He could not help but look at the ancient book in his hand. Although the book was old, it was still in good condition. He could roughly make out a few words on the yellowed cover.
