"Quick! Hurry up and open the window! "When they reached the second floor, they hurriedly prepared to open the window.
However, the person in the lead couldn't open the window even after a long time.
"What's going on? Don't tell me the window is locked too? "someone couldn't help but ask.
"It seems like it's really locked. I can't open it or push it open!" the person who opened the window said helplessly.
"Damn it! Don't tell me the Cheng family has already discovered us, so they're trying to trap us here until we die? " Without another word, Li Yun rushed up to try, but the window didn't budge at all. It was infuriating.
Hence, the others hurried to try the other windows. The result was without exception, all of them were tightly shut. Even with their strength, they couldn't open a single window. It was shocking.
"We're really done for this time. The Cheng family must know we broke into the tower, so they deliberately locked the doors and windows. We might not be able to get out!" Realizing that they couldn't even get out of the window, everyone became even more panicked.
"Since we can't get out stealthily, why don't we break the window and rush out? As long as we're fast enough, we can rush out immediately. How will the Cheng family know we rushed out from here? "Tao Wensheng suggested.
He felt that the tower was increasingly unsafe. Now, he just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
"That's right. If we can't open the door and windows using normal methods, then we'll force our way out. I don't believe the door and windows are so tightly shut. There are so many of us here, so why can't we open a window?" the others echoed.
Now, everyone was afraid to stay here, because the situation was getting more and more disadvantageous for them.
"That's definitely not possible. If we force our way out, we'll definitely cause a huge commotion.
I'm afraid that the commotion will attract many people here before we can get out. If that's the case, how are we going to explain ourselves? Won't that be awkward? "Xu Shouwang objected.
Their movements were very covert. Of course, they couldn't expose themselves.
If they really attracted people here, the Cheng family definitely wouldn't let them go so easily.
"This won't work, that won't work. Then you have to think of a way to get us out!" The others were very dissatisfied with Xu Shouwang's attitude.
After all, this matter started because of them, and they were also the ones who brought everyone here.
Now that everyone was trapped here, it was impossible for them not to have any complaints in their hearts.
"Everyone, please calm down. I've already said it. Right now, we can't be sure why the Cheng family locked the doors and windows.
Maybe they're only locked up for tonight, and they might be able to leave tomorrow, "Xu Shouwang said.
To be honest, he didn't quite believe what he said, but he was looking forward to it.
Because that was what he really hoped for.
After all, they must have done a lot of homework before entering the pagoda. From the moment they arrived at the Cheng Clan, they had been observing the pagoda.
But they had never locked the doors and windows, and it was precisely because of this that they came in very smoothly last night.
If their guards locked the doors and windows every time they left, then they definitely wouldn't have been able to enter last night.
Based on this analysis, locking the doors and windows was just a coincidence.
However, they had no way of confirming whether the Cheng Family had locked the doors and windows because they knew they were in the tower.
If the Cheng Family didn't discover them, then it was very likely that they had locked the doors and windows by chance.
Maybe tomorrow, they would be able to leave as smoothly as they entered yesterday.
"I don't believe that it's really a coincidence. As early as last night when we didn't get anything, I already said that we should leave.
If everyone listened to me at that time, we definitely wouldn't be trapped in this pagoda like this now.
If the Cheng Family has really discovered that we are in the pagoda, let alone tomorrow, even if it's next year, we might not be able to leave! "Tao Wensheng was very dissatisfied with Xu Shouwang and the others.
If it wasn't for everyone being unwilling to leave yesterday, they would definitely be safely out of the pagoda by now, and would have even returned to their guest courtyard to rest.
They wouldn't be like now, trapped here in fear.
"Now I really regret it. If we had listened to Brother Tao last night, we would probably have safely returned to the guest courtyard by now.
Now that everyone is trapped here, I don't know what exactly is waiting for us! "Qiao Ansheng said with incomparable regret.
In the end, he was still blinded by the benefits. If it wasn't for Xu Shouwang and the others always tempting them with huge benefits, he wouldn't have wanted to stay for another night to give it a try.
Originally, staying for another night wasn't a big deal. If they stayed here for a day, even if they really didn't get anything, they could just leave at night when the guards changed shifts.
However, he had never expected that in just one day, they would miss the best opportunity to leave.
Now that the doors and windows were all locked, even a fly wouldn't be able to fly out. They also didn't know what to do.
"If the Cheng Family really knows that we are in the pagoda and wants to trap us, then regardless of whether we wanted to leave yesterday or now, the result would be the same.
If the Cheng Family doesn't know that we are already in the pagoda, then we will always have a chance to leave.
Even if we can't solve the secret of this pagoda, does that mean that the Cheng Family doesn't need to cultivate in this pagoda in the future? "Yin Tianzong analyzed and explained to everyone.
"Even so, I still feel that this door and window lock is a little strange. Why don't we try to force our way out? Maybe it's not as bad as we think.
After all, it's already the middle of the day. Even if there are people outside, there will be very few. Also, we have observed previously that there is almost no one outside the pagoda at this time.
As long as we are fast, even if we really make some noise, by the time they get here, we will have already escaped. Why would we be afraid of being caught? "Qiao Ansheng suggested again.
"I also suggest that we try to rush out. Isn't it just a window? Even if it's locked tightly, how can it stop us?
Also, I feel that the longer we stay here, the more dangerous it will be. If we go out, we will escape in different directions. How will they be able to catch us? "
Unexpectedly, the person who first agreed with Qiao Ansheng was Song Quan, who had always wanted everyone to stay.
Obviously, he had already realized that this place wasn't normal. If they continued to stay, there might be too many unforeseen events, or even danger.
"I have already tried just now. Even with my ability, this door and window didn't budge at all. Obviously, this isn't a normal lock.
That's why it's impossible for us to open the door and the window without making a sound, or to be more precise, to open it easily.
Once our plan fails, even if the Cheng Family doesn't know that we are inside, they will know that we are inside. Wouldn't that be like giving away 300 taels of silver? "Yin Tianzong said.
"Are we really going to stay here and wait for them to open the lock themselves?" Although the few of them were unhappy, they were indeed worried that they would be discovered by the Cheng Family.
After all, they weren't sure if the Cheng Family really knew that they were inside the pagoda. If they didn't know and they moved, they would be the ones who exposed themselves. That would be really stupid.
So even if they couldn't help but want to rush out of the window, they still didn't dare to do so.
"No matter what, at least we are safe now. If everyone really wants to leave this place safely, listen to me first. Calm down and stay here for a few days.
If the lock really opens tomorrow or two days later, isn't it better for us to leave quietly? Why do we have to use such a risky method to test it? If we don't test it well, the consequences will be unimaginable! "Yin Tianzong said to everyone.
"It seems like we can only do this now. In that case, let's not force our way in for the time being. What if I fail to break out and end up exposing myself? That wouldn't be worth it! " Everyone was silent for a while. They knew that the situation in front of them wasn't very clear. If they acted rashly now, they might really regret it.
Although everyone was unwilling to stay, after weighing the pros and cons, they finally decided to compromise with Yin Tianzong. They would wait until tomorrow or a few days before making another decision.
For Xu Shouwang and Yin Tianzong, although everyone was willing to stay, they weren't in a good mood.
After all, even if they had found the secret of the pagoda, they couldn't leave this pagoda.
But no matter what, since everyone was staying, they could still properly find the secret of this pagoda.
Although these people were temporarily trapped in the pagoda, the people outside didn't know any of this. Even some of them who understood the situation didn't know that those people were trapped in the pagoda.
They just wanted to know how those people were doing in the pagoda. Had they found the secret of the pagoda?
But no matter how anxious they were, they couldn't bring a group of people into the pagoda. They could only wait patiently outside.
The situation outside was still so lively the next day. Although the people in the pagoda heard the noise outside and wanted to see the situation outside, they couldn't do anything.
