"So we must find the bride, who might know a secret passage leading to the outside world." Tang Zheng stood up and walked to the wooden staircase. After pacing exactly seven steps, he knocked on the floor. Suddenly, the wall beneath the stairs opened up as though it were a rotating door.
"A secret passage?" Lu Fan's eyes lit up as he asked, "Uncle, are we going on an adventure?"
"No, I just want to verify if the tunnel really exists." Tang Zheng forcefully closed the wall. If not examined closely, it would remain unnoticed. The cracks were perfectly concealed under decorative paintings.
For the next three days, Tang Zheng and his group strolled around the castle, killing as many ghost maids as possible to obtain more pieces of sheepskin paper with recorded information. Besides the occasional disturbance from patterned spiders, they had a peaceful time. They even tried crossing the courtyard, but every time, the stone statues would activate and attack them.
