Chapter 660: Lost in the Cave
Yang Xianmao carefully recalled the route he walked just now, he had been paying attention to the direction he had been taking when he came in, and he had not turned forward, but sometimes he had to go around when avoiding stones, and there might be a shift in direction, but every time he turned around, he would pay attention to the direction he was going, could it be because the direction was offset when he turned the corner, and they deviated from the route?
Seeing the second daughter's panicked eyes, Yang Xianmao comforted: "It's okay, we may have deviated a little from the route, so let's go sideways first until there is an upward slope." 2.
Both of them felt that what they had said made sense, and they walked sideways along the ridge. However, they walked out of the meal, but now it was still a downward slope, and Yang Xianmao felt that something was wrong, because it was impossible for them to deviate so far, and it was impossible for them to reach such a long distance by adding up the routes they went down.
Yang Xianmao said to them: "Something is wrong, we can't go any further, let's go in the other direction, maybe there will be a way out there." ”
Both women nodded, but could tell that their faces were as white as paper from nervousness and fear, despite the glow of the red torches.
The two followed Yang Xianmao back again, this time Yang Xianmao walked in front, because this place was too weird, he had to go to the front to explore the way, and there should be a clear direction.
But they had walked back three or four meals, and the time must have added up past where they had stopped, but all they saw was a slope that stretched downward. At this time, even Yang Xianmao's face changed.
The torch in his hand was about to burn out, and he said to Liu Dongyan in a deep voice, "How many torches are there?"
"I still have three, and I didn't think I would need much, so I only took six in total, and I knew I should have brought more. ”
A girl's family really didn't expect to encounter this situation, and she can't be blamed.
Yang Xianmao saw her crying and sad face, so she comforted her softly: "Don't worry, we will definitely be able to go out before the torches run out, let's calm down first and think about what the hell is going on?"
When the three of them are together, you look at me, and I look at you, but they don't have a clue.
In the end, Yang Xianmao said: "You two are waiting here, and I will go down to find out the situation." Maybe we have the illusion that we are going down, but in fact we are still going up, or maybe we can go down and get out. ”
As soon as she heard this, the back of the two daughters was cold, there is indeed this possibility, maybe there is an illusion in the direction of up and down.
Is it a ghost who is deliberately playing tricks on them? The ghost retaining wall is like this, it will turn the view of the road you have already walked upside down and show it to you. You were on the right path, but you thought you were on the wrong side and went back to square one. You'll go in the opposite direction, and you'll never get out.
Yang Xianmao continued to walk down the slope, and Liu Dongyan said: "I'll go with you, young master, I'll go wherever you go." ”
Of course, Gui Ling'er didn't dare to stay here alone, and hurriedly said: "I'll go too, or the three of us go together, don't be separated now, what if something happens?"
Yang Xianmao also felt that what she said made sense, the more dangerous it is, the more you must concentrate your strength in order to deal with the danger as much as possible, if you are separated, it is easy to be dangerous, so he nodded and said to the two: "Then you follow me, and I will explore the way in front." ”
Both of them nodded, held torches, looked around nervously, and followed Yang Xianmao down.
But the further down they went, the more frightened they became, for it was clear that they had never walked this road, for there were uneven rocks along the way down, and there were a lot of rocks that had fallen from earthquakes, but on this slope there was not even a single rock that had fallen.
They had already walked forward for a meal, and it was still dark in front of them, and they still did not see where the slope up was.
However, along the way, they saw many coffins, scattered in the hole. It's just that these coffins are much less than the ones in front, it should be that the hole in the entrance is too deep, and those who put the hanging coffin don't dare to carry the coffin too deep, so the number of coffins here is much less than the entrance of the hole, and they can walk forward calmly, without worrying about the coffin blocking the way.
After walking forward for a meal, Yang Xianmao and the others stood again, because the torches in the hands of the three of them were almost burned out.
Liu Dongyan hurriedly took off the other three torches on his back and handed them to Yang Xianmao and Gui Ling'er.
Yang Xianmao said: "We can't order the three of us together, we must use sparingly." Order one first. ”
Gui Ling'er said: "Isn't there a coffin here? It's really not good, why don't we split the coffin to make a torch?"
Yang Xianmao did not say that it might alarm the ghosts in the desecrated coffin, but asked a very realistic question: "Did you bring a knife?"
Gui Ling'er couldn't help but be stunned, yes, she didn't bring a knife, because she wouldn't bring a knife to deal with ghosts. If I had known this would happen, I should have brought a knife. Now there is no knife, how to make this coffin into a torch? You must know that these coffins are basically carved from very hard nan wood, and the coffin lid is also thick and hard nan wood, and if you want to split it into a torch, you must use a knife.
Yang Xianmao lit a torch and said, "Let's keep walking, one torch is enough, you two hold hands and follow me carefully." ”
Liu Dongyan pulled Gui Ling'er and Yang Xianmao and walked forward side by side. Yang Xianmao walked in the middle with a torch, and the two girls took his hand and his clothes one by one, and the three of them walked forward side by side, so that the torches could illuminate the feet of the three of them clearly.
Yang Xianmao's eyes widened, his eyesight was considered to be tough, but he couldn't penetrate the darkness, he couldn't see what the end was, only the boundless darkness. The slope they walked was still diagonally downward.
They walked down for another half an hour, and the torch in their hands was burned more than halfway, Yang Xianmao stood up and said, "Something is wrong, if you go down further, you don't know where you are going." ”
Liu Dongyan said with a sad face: "Didn't you say that this place leads to hell? ”
If she was at the entrance of the cave, Gui Ling'er would definitely laugh at her when she heard this, but now she couldn't laugh, and she also cried and said with a sad face: "Yes, Daoist Yiwen, you want to think of a way, don't you have a way? Hurry up and think of a way, are we blocked by ghosts? If we continue like this, even if there are enough torches, we will starve to death and die of thirst, and there is nothing to eat here." ”
Of course, he didn't need to remind Yang Xianmao to think of this, but Gui Ling'er's words just now reminded him, yes, if this is a ghost wall, can he use Guiguzi's yin and yang technique, or the wizard of the Yiren tribe to find a corresponding way to remove this ghost barrier from the witchcraft book given to him.
Yang Xianmao immediately stood up, his mind spinning, recalling all the records in the Yin-Yang Technique. It soon occurred to him that there was a spell in the witchcraft book. The name of this spell is called the Exorcism Charm, and it is a kind of sorcery used with palm thunder and spells.
The main purpose of the exorcism spell is to use it when encountering bad luck, and the ghost retaining wall doesn't know if it belongs to bad luck, so he has to try it.
He handed the torch in his hand to Liu Dongyan, asked the two of them to take two steps back, and then raised his left hand, counting his thumb from the base of his left index finger, and recited aloud the mantra of purifying filth and absorbing qi. He clenched his hands into fists and threw them out in front of him, and at the same time landed with his right foot and shouted, "Go!"
A powerful palm force erupted from his palm and swept through. Liu Dongyan and Gui Ling'er felt their bodies shake violently at the same time, as if they had been swayed forward by a strong wind, and there was really a rustling sound of wind blowing in the cave, so they looked at each other, took two steps forward, stood beside him, and looked around nervously.
After the wind swept away, everything was quiet, but the scenery did not change in sight, and the downward slope was still downward.
Yang Xianmao couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, and didn't know what to do for a while. Didn't your own witchcraft do anything?
Liu Dongyan and Gui Ling'er both cried and said, "What should I do?"
Yang Xianmao waved his hand and motioned for them not to speak.
The two saw that Yang Xianmao was listening attentively, so they also turned their ears sideways, and sure enough, there was a faint voice coming from the front, very distant but very real, there was indeed a voice, and this voice seemed to be someone calling, but what was calling could not be heard clearly.
Yang Xianmao heard it very clearly, and the voice shouted, "Dao Chief, Ling'er, where are you ......?" I'm scared, woo woo woo ......"
It's Gui Ling'er's sister-in-law Liu Qingmei!
Yang Xianmao said happily to Gui Ling'er: "Your sister-in-law is in front, hurry!"
These words made Gui Ling'er surprised and delighted, and said loudly: "Sister-in-law, where are you, sister-in-law?"
They shouted as they walked forward quickly, and Liu Qingmei's voice on the other side became clearer and clearer. Gui Ling'er also heard it, and sure enough, it was Liu Qingmei's voice.
At this time, Liu Qingmei also heard their shouts, and shouted in surprise: "I'm here, woo...... I'm ...... here."
Shouting and crying, they almost trotted forward, and if it weren't for the steep slope down, they would almost have run up. If there was only Yang Xianmao himself, he could easily rush forward, but he couldn't leave the second daughter behind, in case something went wrong, it would be troublesome.
Fortunately, they ran forward for a while, heard more clearly, followed the sound, and saw Liu Qingmei next to a rock.
Her head was disheveled, almost collapsing, and her lower body was wet. Seeing Yang Xianmao, a few of them rushed over desperately and hugged Gui Ling'er tightly.
Gui Ling'er also hugged her sister-in-law tightly, crying and said, "Sister-in-law, why did you come here? But you can't find it everywhere. ”
Liu Qingmei said sadly: "Not long after you entered, I heard a noise behind me, so I quickly turned around to see that it was my younger brother, and he was standing on a rock in the depths of the cave and looking at me. When he saw me turn around, he turned around and ran in, and I screamed to chase him, I don't know why he came here, but it was my brother. I chased all the way, my brother ran in front, the sound was faint, I couldn't see it really, the light was getting darker and darker, I chased forward desperately, but when I caught up on a slope, I fell. ”
