Volume 2 Cloud Gate Six Colors Chapter 129 There is another black hand
In the dark passage, two subtle rays of light shone through, piercing the silence in front of him.
"This is the exit. ”
At the end of the passage, a stone gate blocked the way, and these two rays of sunlight penetrated into the passage through the gap on both sides of the stone gate.
Looking at the gap where the sunlight was leaking, Chu Zhen didn't look for any more mechanisms, and directly pushed open the stone door that was blocking the way with a push of his hand.
As soon as the door opened, the dazzling sunlight poured in, and with it, a cool breeze with moisture.
Stepping out of the dark passage, what you see is a black meadow. The grass was filled with a slightly rancid smell of moisture, and in the meantime, a few strange birds flew out of the meadow.
Behind them was a high hillside, and the exit to the secret passage was at the bottom of this hillside.
"Here, this is outside the valley. ”
Samber looked at the grass in front of him, then looked back at the towering hillside, and recognized where they were now.
Chu Zhen calmly looked at the end of the meadow, as if thinking about something.
"Samber, do you know where the other end of the meadow is?"
Samber looked over there, his face couldn't help but change slightly, and he replied in a deep voice, "That direction, it should be the Great Swamp." ”
The Great Swamp was the mysterious area in the middle of the Cloud Mountain Realm, and no one would want to set foot in that place. What's more critical is that there is a rumor in the Yunshan Realm, it is said that the top powerhouses in the Yunshan Realm like to live in seclusion in some treacherous places, where they cultivate wholeheartedly, waiting to deal with future disasters, and this large swamp is one of the places where the rumored strong may live in seclusion.
The top powerhouse, Chu Zhen has seen one, that is, a sword ruffian who likes to travel around, but among the many hidden powerhouses, the sword ruffian can only barely be regarded as touching. When it comes to a realm like a sword ruffian, many things have already been seen lightly, and things are more in his mood, in case someone is provoked, whether to kill or not to kill, only between his thoughts.
Just when Chu Zhen was still thinking about the whereabouts of the water ghost, Sambo spoke again: "In the past, there were many sect members who walked through this meadow and went to the swamp to find their own opportunities. ”
"Serendipity?"
Hearing Sambo say that the people from Heishuimen actually went to the swamp to find an opportunity, Chu Zhen and Long Yixuan were slightly stunned. There are unknown dangers there, even Chu Zhen, the leaders of the four sects of Yunshan, dare not set foot easily, these disciples of the Black Water Gate dare to walk in, where is this to find an opportunity, it is clearly to die.
Samber let out a long sigh, and seemed to understand the confusion of Chu Zhen and the others. Immediately afterward, he explained.
"We have our suffering, the strength of the cultivators here is not as good as outside, stay here, you can see the edge at a glance in this life, and if you go out, it won't be long before you become a vain ghost. In order to change this status quo, many people choose to take a gamble and go to the swamp that ordinary people dare not set foot in, if they are lucky, they may be able to become a strong man, and then they will be able to leave this ghost place, even if they die inside, they will only leave this world one step earlier. ”
As soon as Sambo explained this, Chu Zhen immediately understood what these people were doing. If it were him, instead of staying here for the rest of his life, Chu Zhen would be like them, gambling everything and fighting for his future.
Samber didn't say what happened to those who entered the Swamp, but anyone could guess that they all died there.
"Then what does the water ghost think of this matter, since he wants to use these people to cultivate evil skills, he shouldn't sit back and watch these people leave. Chu Zhen asked.
"It's strange that every time I hear that someone is going to venture into the swamp, the owner not only never stops them, but also personally sends them to this meadow. ”
The water ghost sent people here himself, and those who were determined to give up their lives might not even have a chance to set foot in the swamp, so they were all secretly brought back to the secret room hidden under his room through this secret passage.
"Look around and see if you can find any traces of the water ghosts. ”
The water ghost is hidden so deeply, which shows that he is also a scheming person, and he will not only leave himself this secret passage to escape, but in other places, there should be another hiding place.
Hearing Chu Chen's words, the others scattered to look for it.
With the help of Sambo and the others, the range of a hundred meters was quickly clarified, but no clues about the water ghosts were found.
"It's strange how he seems to have disappeared all of a sudden. ”
Long Yixuan muttered, her eyes full of puzzlement. With her strength, the water ghost can leave quietly, which shows that his strength is far above their group, but if that is the case, he can take the opportunity to kill them, so why should he run away?
"Come and see. ”
Long Yixuan's doubts had not been answered, and an exclamation attracted their attention.
Chu Zhen and the others immediately ran in the direction of the sound, and saw two Black Water Sect disciples standing by a puddle with frightened expressions.
Running quickly to the edge of the pit, the first thing I saw was the accumulation of white bones in the pit.
This puddle is more than ten meters wide, but there are hundreds of bones piled up in it, many of which have come out of the water, and in this puddle, there are many poisonous insects, poisonous snakes, and even poisonous snakes coming out of the eye sockets of the skull, which looks extremely terrifying and disgusting.
Chu Zhen frowned, stood on the edge of the pit, and carefully observed the bones in the pit. Suddenly, as if he saw something, he picked up a bamboo cane in his hand, and picked up something like a waist ornament.
"This thing, this is Li Laoer's. ”
Chu Zhen didn't recognize the thing he picked up, but Samber did, because its holder was also a disciple of the Black Water Gate.
"It seems that the bones in this are other than the disciples of the Black Water Gate. ”
According to Samber, there are more than 50 missing people in the Black Water Gate, which is far less than the number of bones in the pit, so it seems that in addition to the Black Water Gate, the water ghosts are also looking for targets outside.
"There are footprints here. ”
At this time, Jing and his entourage, who rushed over, found a footprint in the grass by the puddle that was not very clear.
Chu Zhen lowered his head and glanced at the direction of the footprints, but he pointed directly at the big swamp on the other side of the meadow.
Chu Zhen thought about it carefully, and said to Sambo: "Sambo, thank you this time, we still have something to do, so we will leave." ”
After speaking, Chu Zhen glanced at the others, and Long Yixuan and the four of them immediately understood, followed the footprints with him, and walked into the black grass.
Behind them, Samber stared at the bones in the pit and sighed helplessly, then turned around and led the doorman back to the Black Water Gate through the secret passage.
The water ghost fled, Chu Zhen and the others left, but Heishuimen failed to exchange for peace.
That night, a terrible howl echoed through the Black Water Gate, and the blood that burst out of the blood stained the surrounding walls and the ground red.
The corpses fell to the ground one after another, and in the eyes that could not be closed, in addition to horror, there was also a deep disbelief.
And behind this tragedy, there was a smug and cruel laugh.
