Chapter 871: Old Fox
"Ahh ”
Li Qing exclaimed and suddenly opened his eyes.
With round eyes, Li Qing's brain went blank, and the almost hideous expression of fear stayed on his face for more than ten seconds before it quickly converged, followed by bursts of sharp pain that spread throughout his body.
Li Qing gasped in pain, struggled to sit up and looked around, his cheeks swelled with astonishment again: "Where is this?"
At this moment, the place where Li Qing is a stone room, with an area of more than 100 square meters, and the ground is full of broken stone statues, lying there horizontally and vertically, like a broken corpse.
The bronze lantern in the corner of the wall was burning slowly, I don't know what kind of anointing oil was inside, exuding a faint fishy smell, but it illuminated this space very brightly.
Li Qing was leaning on a stone platform behind him, he should have been placed on the stone platform before, and he fell from it in a coma, so he had the feeling of falling into the abyss.
Holding the ground with one hand, Li Qing gritted his teeth and forced, and took the dislocated arm back up. Moving his shoulders, Li Qing climbed onto the edge of the stone platform and climbed up, only to realize that the clothes on his body had dried up, and he seemed to have been in a coma for a long time.
Raising his wrist, Li Qing looked down at the electronic watch, or because it was soaked in too much water, the electronic watch was also broken, and he couldn't see the time at all.
Li Qing sighed, took off his watch, and threw it on the pitted stone platform rather casually.
With his hands on his hips and a few circles in the stone room, Li Qing bent down and picked up the head of a stone sculpture and looked at it, shrugged his shoulders and threw it down.
"If it is not bad, this should be the place where the stone statues were carved during the construction of the ancient building, and the defective products were thrown away. Li Qing thought secretly in his heart, his eyes swept over the entire stone room, and finally stopped at the stone road entrance facing the stone platform.
Correspondingly, there is also a stone path on the other side, which I don't know where it stretches.
Li Qing felt dizzy in his brain, and hurriedly walked back again, holding on to the stone platform and sitting down.
"If this is really the place where craftsmen carved stone statues... Then there must be a transportation channel that goes directly to the ancient building of the town. In this way, did he find out that I was lost, and he intended to show up, and wanted to lead me to the Ancient Mansion of the Zhen Domain?" Li Qing tugged at the corners of his mouth, and suddenly sneered, "Old fox..."
"I'm over 100 years old, and I'm not dead yet..."
"What is the purpose? What is his purpose? Let me save her great-granddaughter? Why not himself?"
"After all these years, I'm still not this old and immortal opponent. Li Qing raised his hand and touched his cheek, I have to say that Gu Yue's disguise methods are superb, Xiao Yin's face is still attached to Li Qing's face.
"Disguised like this, can you still recognize me?" Or has he been secretly following me..."Li Qing gritted his teeth, grabbed his sideburns with his fingers and tore them fiercely, tearing off the swollen and pale face and throwing it aside.
The stinging pain like a fire made Li Qing twitch the corners of his mouth and take a hard breath of cold air: "Ah." ”
It lasted for more than ten minutes before the tingling pain on his cheek slowly subsided. Li Qing raised his hand and patted the stone platform under him, and glanced at it lightly, but the corner of his eye suddenly noticed the handwriting on it.
"Huh?" Li Qing leaned over on the stone platform to look, and with the light emitted by the ever-bright lights, he saw three crooked ancient characters.
"Don... Bosom... Jin?" Li Qing was slightly stunned, "What does this mean? The ancestors of the Gu family have been here?"
"Hehe, it's really interesting, are the women of the ancient gate so wonderful?
Li Qing complained to himself, walked to the corner of the wall, pressed his finger on the bronze lamp and touched it, and then pulled his head and looked at it.
The anointing oil in the lamp had all melted, and the pungent smell made people frown. Li Qing has never believed in the so-called nonsense that the ever-bright lamp will not be extinguished for thousands of years, so the lights here should have been lit after his arrival.
"This object is also an antique, so it must be worth a lot. Li Qing thought silently, and casually lifted the bronze lamp in front of him.
It was indeed heavy, but fortunately, such a weight was still within the range that Li Qing could bear. He immediately carried the lamp directly and walked into the stone path beside him.
Li Qing wasn't sure which of the two stone roads would lead to the Ancient Mansion of the Zhen Domain, so he chose one randomly, planning to walk a little way first to see the situation. There were only two turns along the way, and in addition to this, the stone road was unusually straight, and Li Qing walked forward for three or four minutes, when he suddenly felt a cool breeze, and the firelight in the ever-bright lamp also swayed gently.
"Doesn't seem to be on the wrong track. Li Qing's eyes burst into a flash of joy, and he accelerated his speed again, walked fifty or sixty meters again, and finally arrived at the end of the stone road.
Li Qing suddenly paused, slowly squatted down and shone under him with the bronze lamp in his hand, his face changed slightly, and at this moment his feet were already a dark abyss.
Taking a deep breath, Li Qing took half a step back, put the bronze lamp beside him, and raised his hand to inspect the stone wall at the entrance of the cave. Around him, he found deep holes in the stone walls, as well as broken wood. There used to be a boardwalk, but it was demolished when it was completed.
Li Qing's eyes widened in the darkness, looking towards the darkness in front of him, I don't know if it was an illusion, he seemed to be able to see the extremely faint light below.
Taking a step back, Li Qing took off his coat, dipped the unknown anointing oil in the bronze lamp and lit it, and then threw it directly from the hole.
The flame fell into the abyss, and it only took a deep breath to reach the bottom. Li Qing couldn't help but nod slightly, he already roughly knew the height of his position from below.
"It's probably more than a hundred meters. Li Qing whispered to himself, "If what I expected, I have now arrived at the inside of the sinkhole, this stone chamber is embedded in the cliff, and in front of me should be the ancient building of the Zhenfan." ”
"Gotta find a way to get down. Li Qing scratched his head and muttered angrily, "Old thing, knock me out and bring me here, and don't send a bundle of rope anymore..."
Li Qing moved his muscles and bones, then leaned over and climbed the entrance of the cave, hanging half of his body out.
Clenching his teeth tightly, Li Qing pulled one hand into the deep hole of the wooden stake in the stone wall.
At the beginning, these stone holes were laid in order to repair the plank road, but now that the plank road is gone, Li Qing can only hang these stone holes with his hands and move his body carefully. Fortunately, the stone holes are very dense, and the distance between each two holes is about one meter or so, which is also very convenient for Li Qing to borrow.
Although it is only more than 100 meters away from the bottom of the sinkhole, the construction of the plank road must maintain a slope and slowly go down, so Li Qing turned a long distance in mid-air, and the length is tantamount to climbing dozens of stairs. Thanks to his physical strength that is different from ordinary people, otherwise he would have collapsed and fallen into the abyss and died.
There was still a distance of more than ten meters from the ground, Li Qing simply let go, and the whole person jumped down directly, hugged his body in mid-air, and rolled on the ground a few times to stop his body.
I wiped my hands on the ground, and I felt a thick layer of bone powder. Li Qing was shocked, hurriedly stood up, and crushed a skull with a click as soon as he raised his foot.
Fortunately, it was dark and gloomy all around, and Li Qing couldn't see the situation around him, but he was enough to imagine that at this moment, there should be a large number of corpses of buried slaves under his feet.
Stabilizing his mind, with the continuous sound of bone cracking under his feet, Li Qing walked forward slowly. I didn't go far, and sure enough, I noticed a faint light, and the position was roughly the same as what I saw in the stone path.
When Li Qing got closer, he finally saw that it was a wolf's tooth flashlight that fell to the ground. This flashlight has a strong ability to store electricity, and it still emits a strong light at the moment.
"Tsk, what's missing. Li Qing raised his eyebrows slightly, bent down to pick up the flashlight, dusted off it, and then scanned the surroundings with the help of the light of the flashlight, and found a corpse more than 20 meters away from him.
Looking around vigilantly, Li Qing walked towards the corpse after making sure that there was no one else.
The deceased was a man in his thirties and forties, judging from his clothes, he should have been one of Zhao Qili's group. This means that Zhao Qili and the others have already entered the Zhenfan Ancient Building first, and Li Qing has been left far behind.
Li Qing squatted down and turned the corpse over, carefully examined the injuries, and finally determined that the unlucky man had fallen from the cliff behind him and died.
"Brother, you shouldn't have sent equipment for me, right?" Li Qing smiled, unloaded the dagger, gun, and backpack from the corpse, and armed himself. Originally, Li Qing was going to change his clothes, but the one in front of him was really bad, his whole face was already blurred with flesh and blood, and the uniform was not much stronger than his own clothes, so he had no choice but to give up.
After plundering the opponent's equipment, Li Qing walked to the edge of the stone wall and found a rope hanging down from above.
Reaching out and pulling the rope, Li Qing couldn't help but nodded. The rope is tied quite firmly, and Zhao Qili's group should also have a way back for themselves.
"When I find Yuyan and the others, if I run faster, I may be able to get out before them, and when we get to the top, we will cut the rope..."Li Qingmei thought beautifully, and had already calculated a way out for herself.
He let go of the rope and was about to turn away, when he heard a sharp sound above him that pierced the air.
Li Qing was startled, and hurriedly jumped backwards, jumping a few meters away. Then he was stunned to see the rope fall from a height of hundreds of meters, smashing into the ground with a thud, splashing a cloud of dust.
After being stunned for more than ten seconds, Li Qing suddenly reacted, someone was cutting the rope on it...
