Chapter 642: The operation officially begins
Although each of us has experienced countless lives and deaths over the years, we will no longer feel the heartfelt panic of the mortal danger we are about to face as we did when we first entered the rivers and lakes. It's just that when this mission, which is about to affect the future direction of the entire Central Continent and is close to death, is approaching at this moment, everyone will inevitably have some thoughts and silence in their hearts.
After everyone silently cleaned up, I looked at Nie Qi and asked, "So, where is the secret passage that you said about sneaking into the city?"
"That secret passage is actually in this cave. Nie Qi walked to a stone wall on the left side of the cave, pressed a raised stone block with his hand, and then the sound of continuous gear rotation came from the stone wall, and an entrance to the ground slowly opened that extended downward.
I said unexpectedly, "Hey, after sleeping here all night, I didn't even notice that there is a secret passage in this cave." ”
Nie Qi said: "The entrance to this secret passage is made of the oldest mechanism technique, and there are no magic circles or talismans set up at all, so there is no aura fluctuation, but it is difficult for people to detect. ”
I nodded slightly and said, "Since it is a secret passage specially prepared for us by Li Ji, the Sacred Heart Sect already knows that we will definitely appear here." They didn't even arrange people to ambush us here, so they were stable enough. ”
I looked at everyone again and said solemnly: "Everyone, it is my honor to be able to fight side by side with you in this life, and I won't say much about the rest, I wish you all good luck! Immediately, we followed Nie Qi into the secret passage one by one.
With the current strength of our people, we can still see our surroundings clearly in the dark secret passages, even if we don't use torches to illuminate them. This secret passage is much more spacious than I imagined, about half a zhang wide and half a zhang high, and the walls around it are all paved with bluestone, which is not only very regular, but also very well ventilated.
Following Nie Qi, who had been hurrying, I said casually: "The royal family of the Chu State has done a good job of this secret passage." When they built this secret passage, they were supposed to keep it for their lives, right?"
Nie Qi said: "As far as I know, it's not, the original end point of this passage is not the square in the city, it was Li Ji who transformed the exit to the square in order to deal with you this time. Originally, this secret passage could lead all the way to the palace, but it was not used for the escape of the royal family, but from here it was used to transport boys and girls and some unseen pleasures to the palace. ”
I sighed and said, "Alas... I understand, as a royal family, of course, there will always be some people who want to be arrogant and lascivious, but things that are too excessive are not easy for outsiders to see, so I made such a secret passage, right?"
"That's right. Nie Qi suddenly stopped and said, "We've reached a fork in the road." As he spoke, he briefly fumbled around the bright wall, and then pressed down a bluestone brick. The entire secret passage immediately began to shake slightly, and a one-person-wide entrance slowly cracked on the wall, and Nie Qi didn't look at any of us, and walked in first.
Wei Xu whispered next to me, "Brother You, let's just follow him like this, there can't be any problems, right?"
I nodded and said, "I'm sure there's nothing wrong with it right now." With me, don't worry. With that, I followed with my legs raised. After all of us entered the secret passage at the fork, Nie Qi pressed the mechanism to close the entrance again.
The secret passage of this fork in the road is completely different from the previous secret passage, and the passage we are walking about fifty or sixty zhang away is much narrower than the previous bluestone passage, and it can be seen that it has just been excavated, and there are still obvious traces on the rough stone walls around it.
When we reached the end of the passage, I saw the heavy stone wall in front of me that had been forcibly broken, I looked at Nie Qi and asked, "This is the road that was dug up after the stone wall of the secret room was smashed, right?
Nie Qi said calmly: "That's right, I first discovered this secret room, and then compared the map of the secret passage that Li Ji gave me before, I estimated the distance between this secret room and that passage, and it took me five days to open the two." ”
I followed Nie Qi into the secret room, and with the faint light of the fire inside, I looked around at the empty secret room and said, "Nie Qi, you can." It only took five days to dig such a passage underground, and you, the young master of the Taiyue Sect, have done this kind of thing in the past, right? Aren't you afraid that if you don't dig up the passage properly, you will bury yourself in it again?"
Nie Qi sat on the ground casually and said, "I don't think so." Let's adjust it here. A quarter of an hour further on, you will reach the Eye of the Heaven Covering God and Demon Array, which is the last place where you can rest. ”
Everyone found a place to sit down, and Wei Xu said to me, "Brother You, give me a sip of your wine." ”
I raised my hand and threw the wine gourd towards Wei Xu, and said, "I can drink two sips, don't drink it all for me." ”
"I can't. You don't know how much I drink. Wei Xu took the wine gourd, raised his head and drank a few big sips, and said with a smile: "Haha, happy! I've been nervous since I came here this morning, and now I'm about to do it, but I feel a lot more relaxed." ”
"Brother Wei, give me two sips too. Mu Wenxin said.
Wei Xu handed the wine gourd to Mu Wenxin and said, "This is the first time I've heard you take the initiative to ask for wine." What's the matter? You, the master who fought the demons in the Desert of Death, are also nervous this time?"
"I'm about to face the demon of the Red Dan Stage of the Ning Dan Realm, and it's completely a lie to say that I am not nervous at all. But like you, I suddenly feel a lot lighter now, and for the first time I find it a bit exciting. Mu Wenxin smiled and said.
I looked at Mu Wenxin and smiled: "Wenxin, I see that you have always looked like a weak scholar, I didn't expect you to be quite adventurous." You're just usually too restrained.,If you open your heart early.,You and Yue Min.。。 Kindness.. It seems that now is not the time to talk about this. Ha ha. ”
"I'll marry her when I get back. Mu Wenxin whispered, and then looked at Yin Li, who had transformed into Shi Jun, casually, and asked, "Do you want to drink some?"
Yin Li shook his head slightly and said, "Thank you, I don't need it." ”
Bao Longer took out a chicken leg and handed it to Wei Xu, saying, "Fat brother, you can eat another chicken leg." I feel that it will be very dangerous for us to go out, so if we don't eat more now, maybe we won't be able to eat in the future. ”
