Mythology Starts with Childish Skills
Chapter 116 Secret Passage (Please subscribe)
At this time, Meng Zhao didn't know that the two brothers in the first house had their own agendas, and that Meng Qinghuai was planning to join the second house and was eyeing him.
After a big battle, the first thing I did after returning to Xiyuan was to take a refreshing bath.
Then he absorbs the vital essence in the Earth Spirit Pearl to restore his body's hidden injuries and depleted skills.
At the same time, he is constantly sorting out all the details of this battle, checking for deficiencies, and improving his martial arts.
Martial arts is by no means covered by pure martial arts. From a certain perspective, martial arts is only the foundation of martial arts and a tool used to practice martial arts.
Only by improving in all aspects, from quantitative change, to qualitative change, to the ultimate leap to the peak, and achieving the realm of gods and demons, can we truly achieve enlightenment.
In the evening, after dinner, Meng Zhao made a random excuse, and he and Meng Chuan escaped the attention of people in the house and quietly followed Meng Hongdao and left the Meng family.
It was now dark and the stars were dim.
In the city, only the smoke and lights of every household lit up the surrounding environment. The three of them were dressed in pure black, perfectly blending into the night.
Coupled with his superb martial arts and quick body skills, he really looks like a ghost.
The first stop the three of them came to was the third shop on Anhua Street in the South District.
From the outside, it looks like an ordinary grocery store, unremarkable at all. However, once inside, you realize that there is something special about it.
First of all, the owner of this grocery store is a son of the Meng family and a loyal servant for generations. However, this relationship is not known to outsiders at all.
What does it mean to have children at home? Even his ancestors were servants and slaves of the Meng family. When he was born, all the education he received, the most important and core thing, was to be loyal to the Meng family.
Therefore, as long as Meng Hongdao says a word, he will commit suicide immediately without any complaints. He is definitely the most loyal and reliable man.
Only such people are worth entrusting some secrets to.
Secondly, a tunnel was dug directly into the outer city in a dry well in the backyard of this shop.
It is wide and huge, with smooth sides, and the intervals on both sides are decorated with valuable luminous pearls.
When moving, a pulley device like a subway was used. There was a smooth track underneath the tunnel. After the three people sat on the pulley and started the pulley, they moved as fast as riding a horse.
Meng Chuan got into the car with such a big man, and it seemed a little crowded for a while.
However, he was very excited, and for a moment he looked like a child, and he liked this slide very much.
Meng Zhao was secretly frightened. The background of the Meng family was indeed not as simple as it seemed on the surface. This was evident from the tunnel leading directly outside the city.
Not to mention the huge amount of labor and property required, how did the Meng family manage to build such a huge project underground in this downtown area? And so far no rumors have been revealed.
Meng Hongdao also found it funny when he saw Meng Chuan's rare display of childishness.
But seeing Meng Zhao's thoughtful expression, he guessed what he was thinking and said,
"This tunnel was built in the second year after the ancestor Meng Shen passed away. At that time, a descendant of the Mohist machine arts was invited as the chief engineer, and there were 203 skilled craftsmen to assist. It took three years to open and complete the tunnel. .
It is precisely because of their existence that this secret passage can be built so cleverly that no one will notice it even if there is a busy city above them.
And don't think that this is just a simple tunnel. There are many mechanisms inside and it is very dangerous.
Even if an innate master fell into it and was plotted by the agency, he would still die. "
After a pause, Meng Hongdao hesitated, but continued,
"This tunnel was an escape route left by the ancestors of the Meng family. If the family faces annihilation one day, they can use this tunnel to preserve their vitality in order to make a comeback in the future.
Therefore, each generation of the Meng family can only know the existence of this secret passage if it is directly passed down by blood and approved by the elders.
Now, in the Meng family, the only ones who know about this secret passage are the eldest brother, me, and you two, except for the two loyal servants guarding the beginning and end. "
Meng Chuan was a little curious for a while.
"Don't you even know about the eldest brother and the second brother?"
"The two of them have been having a lot of trouble over the years, and the eldest brother is also having a lot of headaches. Before everything is settled, he will naturally not reveal the secret passage to them to avoid causing trouble.
Chuan'er, in fact, with your current performance and ability, you are not enough to know this secret.
It's just that your uncle came forward and Zhao'er was willing to help you share the burden, so I agreed to let you know about it.
So you must pay attention to it. If you reveal even a word, you will be a big sinner of our Meng family. After your death, you will be held accountable by all the ancestors of the past dynasties. Do you understand? "
Meng Chuan was not an ignorant person. Hearing this, he nodded solemnly.
Meng Hongdao turned to Meng Zhaodao,
"Zhao'er, my eldest brother and I are actually very optimistic about you. We think you are brave, resourceful, and worthy of entrusting you with important tasks, so we are willing to let you get involved in family affairs.
In the future, there will be many similar incidents, and you will be exposed to more and more family secrets.
I hope you can live up to my and your uncle's expectations and share more of the family's burdens in the future. This is your responsibility. "
"Third uncle, don't worry. My nephew knows that he will not let you and uncle down."
Meng Zhao replied dryly, and suddenly another question popped up,
"Third uncle, actually there should be many talents who know about this secret passage, right? Are the craftsmen who built the secret passage and the successor of the Mo family's mechanism skills really clinging to this secret and not letting go? "
Meng Chuan obviously hadn't realized the real reason for Meng Zhao's question and looked at him curiously.
But Meng Hongdao heard Meng Zhao's temptation and was even more satisfied with his nephew's intelligence, but also a little worried. He always felt that Hui Ji would turn against him. Can such figures, Meng Xi and Meng Wen, really be able to suppress him in the future?
Thinking about it, Meng Zhengan was actually the smartest and most qualified of the three Meng family brothers back then.
However, he was not interested in power and position, and concentrated on martial arts. Come to think of it, Meng Zhao thought the same way.
"Zhao'er, you don't need to test me. I tell you straightforwardly that all those who knew the secret passage were poisoned to death on the day the secret passage was built, and no bones were left.
The successor of the Mo family's organ skills back then was also the deceased friend of our ancestor of the Meng family, who was also plotted to death.
The purpose is to ensure that this secret will always be spread only among our Meng family bloodline. "
Meng Chuan was immediately angry,
"What, dad, how could you do this?
It's okay to kill innocent people indiscriminately. It's too despicable and shameless to even design a friend who has died. "
However, before he could finish speaking, he was slapped by Meng Hongdao in the car with a crisp sound.
"Shut up, that's your direct ancestor, how can you insult him?
Everything was for the Meng family. Even if the ancestor felt guilty, he had to do it.
Otherwise, if word spreads, this secret passage may be the cause of trouble for my Meng family.
Afterwards, the families of those 203 skilled craftsmen have been taken care of by my Meng family in Nan'an until today.
As for the successor of the Mo family's organ skills, our ancestor has always felt guilty about him, and he died in depression two years later.
I say this just to tell you that family is the most important thing. Without the Meng family and the ancestors of the Meng family, you would not be where you are now.
In the future, when you face the same situation, you must make the same decision, and no mistakes will be allowed. "
Meng Hongdao's voice was not loud, but it made Meng Zhao feel cold. Is this the way for the Guixun family to survive?
