The Great Martial Saint!

Chapter 247 Discovery
Chen Ping'an looked carefully again through the window and found that the Taoist priest was indeed there.

"There's a darkroom in the room!"

Almost in an instant, Chen Pingan made a judgment.

It is impossible for a person to die for no reason. There must be a dark room in the room.

"There's something fishy going on!"

Chen Pingan thought for a moment, walked to the side, and put his palm on the door.

hum~
The true Qi trembled slightly, and the bolt on the door jumped up.

At this moment, Chen Pingan seized the opportunity and pushed the door open directly. Before the bolt fell to the ground, he caught it steadily in his hand.

He was also a man of great skill and courage, and was not at all intimidated. He actually went straight into the Taoist's room.

This courage was also given to him by his strength. If he was still in the Inner Qi Realm, he would still hesitate to do this. But the Xuan Guang Middle Realm allowed Chen Pingan to act quite recklessly.

The worst case scenario is that he was discovered and simply escaped.

He did this mainly because he felt that there was something strange about this Taoist temple. Not to mention that everyone here had embarked on martial arts training. Just say that there was such a Taoist temple in the wilderness, and the temple master had a dark room in his room.

If it is a secret compartment to hide treasures, it is understandable, but making a dark room that people can enter is a bit strange.

In addition, Chen Pingan discovered another detail. The supplies that had just been purchased were full of seven or eight people, and there were indeed a lot of things. And from the conversation between the two Taoists before, they said that today was the monthly purchase, so it was normal to come back late. The other Taoist remembered it wrongly and thought it was the ten-day purchase.

In other words, this Taoist temple would purchase supplies every ten days. The reason why the monthly purchase was singled out was probably because it was a little different from the usual ten-day purchase.

After observing the Taoist temple, there were less than 20 people in total. Do we need to buy so many supplies in just ten days?

Chen Ping'an had a vague guess in his mind.

He closed the door, bolted it, and restored it to its previous state. Then he observed the situation inside the room. The layout inside was very strict, and all kinds of furnishings were available. Chen Pingan looked around and did not find any entrance to the secret room, nor did he find any mechanism.

The Taoist priest could come back at any time, so Chen Ping'an's top priority was to find a good hiding place. He first looked under the bed, but unfortunately, the Taoist priest's bed was solid, leaving only a small gap, so it was obvious that no one could hide inside.

Chen Ping'an's eyes moved and fell on the wardrobe not far from the bed. There were several wardrobes, and the one on the far right was just big enough for an adult to stand in.

"That's it." Chen Pingan walked forward and prepared to open the wardrobe to observe whether it was suitable for hiding.

As soon as he put his hand on the handle, a strange thought suddenly popped into his mind.

No, as soon as he opened the closet door, he would see the old Taoist standing upright inside, staring at him motionlessly.

This scene is a bit creepy to think about!
Fortunately, Chen Pingan was overthinking. There were only some clothes in the closet, not the scene he imagined.

After confirming that this was a good place to hide, Chen Pingan began to explore the room. As a result, not long after he looked around, a faint sound came from underground.

"I'm back!" Chen Ping'an's expression was stern, and he quietly ran into the closet, then carefully closed the door. The closet door was not closed, and there was a small gap in the middle.

There was candlelight in the room, but it was extremely dark inside the closet. Chen Ping'an could just observe the scene in the room through this small gap.

In addition, Chen Pingan has now entered the realm of Xuan Guang. With full concentration, he can sense the outside world to a certain extent. Even if there is no such gap, he can still sense the scene outside.

A mechanical sound was heard, and the floor of the room suddenly sank, and then a medium-sized passage appeared. A tall and thin old Taoist walked out of the passage.

After the old Taoist came out, he walked to the side and vigorously rotated the round table used for decoration.

Click, click, click!
A slight mechanical sound was heard, and the sunken ground returned to its original state. After coming out of the passage, the old Taoist paced back and forth in the room with a worried look on his face.

Chen Pingan hid in the closet and observed quietly.

Suddenly, the old Taoist stopped and turned around, facing the closet where Chen Pingan was hiding.

Ok?
Chen Pingan was stunned.

Found me?

Seeing the old Taoist walking towards the closet, Chen Pingan held his breath and concentrated, ready to attack at any time and control the other party.

squeak!

The closet door rang, and the old Taoist opened the door of the closet next to him and took out a long gown from it.

Then he changed his Taoist robe into a long gown and sat cross-legged on the bed.

"This old Taoist!" Chen Pingan said secretly, and then waited quietly in the closet.

To be honest, he just had an impulse to control the old Taoist priest and find out what was going on here, so that he wouldn't have to sneak around like this and waste his time and energy.

Just rush over and it's over!
However, after thinking about it, I decided to be cautious first, and it won’t be too late to act rashly when the situation gets wrong!

Um! etc!

Why do I always think about being reckless? Could it be that I am really a reckless man?

No, it's impossible! Absolutely impossible!
The next morning, the old Taoist woke up from his slumber. The first thing he did after getting up was to take off his robe and change back into the Taoist robe in the closet. Then, Chen Pingan also observed that he seemed to deliberately touch the inside of the Taoist robe.

After doing all this, the old Taoist left the room in a short while, closing the door before leaving.

Chen Ping'an waited in the closet for a while. After making sure that the Taoist priest would not come back, he pushed open the closet door and walked out.

There were bursts of noise coming from outside the room; it was the sound of the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple performing morning prayers.

Chen Pingan glanced at the round table beside him, and without any hesitation, he started to turn it like the experienced man he had done yesterday.

Click, click, click!
The sound of a mechanism was heard, and the ground in the room began to sink.

When activating the mechanism, Chen Pingan actually thought about whether there was someone in the dark room. If he opened it here, wouldn't he find out over there? It was not safe to open it directly like this.

But since he didn't open the mechanism, he could only wait for the Taoist to open it and then follow him in. But looking at the situation before entering the room, it was obvious that there was also a mechanism to close the passage on the other side of the dark room.

The logic behind this doesn't quite make sense.

If I can't follow in, and if I open the channel myself, there is the risk of being discovered.

After thinking about it, it seems that there is no other good solution.

so.
Just drive! Just rush through!

Um.?

etc! wrong!
I'm really not a reckless man!
