Chapter 83: Half a Black Face

The two discussed the details again, and then they were about to get started. ∏∈ ∏∈ ∏∈ little ∏∈ said, x.

Shen Duo had a detailed map in his hand and had studied it many times, so he knew the distribution of the underground secret rooms well.

He took the trouble to introduce the underground situation to Yunkang, and he didn't let go of even the trivial details. Yun Kang was dumbfounded when he heard it, and he couldn't see that Shen Duo, a cold and rough man, was so careful.

"You take a closer look at this map, the structure of the outer circle and the inner square, the length of the entire circular passage is five or six kilometers, and in the middle is the alchemy secret room, not only one, but at least ** room. Shen Duo took a hand-drawn map in a plastic seal, and chattered while gesturing.

Yun Kang looked at him with the drawings, like a construction engineer, and his familiarity with this place had reached an outrageous level, which made people can't help but have an illusion.

This underground secret room is really Shen Duo's family, he is a descendant of the Taoist priest of the Jindan Sect, and the things in the treasure map are also his own!

After Shen Duo's repeated explanations, Yun Kang suddenly realized that the alchemy secret room of the Jindan Sect was not a small room, and its spaciousness was comparable to the grand royal palace, or even surpassed.

Shen Duo said that he had found the entrance to one of the secret rooms, but he could not find out the specific location of the treasure, and he needed to be guided by the talisman array.

Yun Kang was excited when he heard this, the talisman array was in his hand, he was very fascinated by the treasure hidden by the Witch Spirit King, and he was looking forward to the moment when the treasure appeared.

He turned the flashlight to the darkest level, and the light suddenly became very blurry.

Yunkang followed Shen Duo all the way, running forward from the dark passage, and in addition to the sound of footsteps, there was the sound of "whirring" in his ears.

Running in the dark, always a passageway, with the walls on both sides not changing even the slightest, made him feel as if he was standing still.

Shen Duo seemed to have two scuds, and he didn't stop when he ran, and the figure of "kicking and kicking" swept out quickly, and if Yunkang didn't use his true qi, he wouldn't be able to catch up with him at all.

But the true qi was consumed quickly, and Yun Kang ran out of breath, running a distance of more than 2,000 meters before slowly stopping.

The whole ring passage, they almost went around half a circle. Yunkang's back was covered with sweat, he was so tired that he couldn't straighten his waist, and he ran more than 2,000 meters at a speed of 100 meters, and no one could stand it.

Yunkang glanced up at Shen Duo, and saw that although his panting voice was also very heavy, his body was straight, and he obviously had a lot of stamina, and he looked like he would have no problem running another two thousand meters.

Yun Kang was a little depressed, so he hurriedly found cultivation materials and tried his best to break through the second layer of qi refining. I am now on the board, let alone flying against the wind, and I am not as good as others in running, which is too embarrassing.

The two walked slowly while resting their feet, Yunkang shone around with a strong flashlight, and suddenly saw a black rumbling head on the wall, with a very irregular shape, and a pair of long ears.

He was startled, and his head was sweating: "I'll go, what is this?"

The black head was motionless, Yun Kang was calm, concentrated the flashlight, shook it forward twice, and then looked at it carefully, and found that it was a donkey's head.

The whole donkey's head was very long, and it was black in color, and a pair of donkey eyes were very large.

Yun Kang scolded secretly, no wonder the shape is irregular, this donkey face looks like a shoehorn, a pair of ears are pricked, and I really can't tell what shape it is.

Shen Duo walked over, raised his hand and patted the black donkey's head, turned his head and said, "This is a stone wax figure, and there is a secret passage behind the black donkey." ”

Yun Kang saw clearly at this time, a groove space was dug out of the wall, and the black stone donkey was standing right in the middle of the groove, the donkey's head was half-twisted, and his neck was stretched out, and the donkey's face was facing the direction of the passage they were walking through.

The head of such a donkey sticks out of the passage, as if it grows out of the wall, and it looks very abrupt.

The outer layer of the stone donkey is wax material, and a layer of black wax oil is also applied, and the carving process is quite good, so it looks extremely realistic.

"You dead donkey, you scared me. Yunkang kicked the donkey's leg and said depressedly.

He shone the flashlight on the donkey's back, and was shocked to find a stone wax figure sitting upside down. The light was dim, and only the back could be seen, and the hunched figure was dressed as an ancient old man.

"Zhang Guo rode a donkey upside down. Shen Duo nodded and said very calmly, then he lowered his head and bent down and got into it from behind the stone statue.

At this time, Yun Kang realized that the underground secret room was indeed Zhang Guolao's territory, and the entrance to the secret room was behind the ass of the donkey he was riding upside down.

"There's a sign on this side of the hole, come over and see what it means. Shen Duo squatted at the entrance of the cave inside and called him in a low voice.

Yunkang didn't say a word, and followed in.

The entrance to the cave is next to the two hind hooves of the black donkey, and it is a square black hole, only about half a meter in size, which looks very narrow, like a dog hole.

"You can find such a hidden place, admire and admire!" Yun Kang said sincerely.

Ever since he entered this underground fortification, he has rarely used his divine sense, because the walls everywhere are painted with asphalt, and his divine sense cannot penetrate at all, so he has a strong sense of frustration.

But Shen Duo, this kid, has no divine sense, and he can even find the entrance to the secret room, which shows that sometimes, carefulness is more important than divine sense. This made Yun Kang can't help but admire, and secretly wants to learn from him with an open mind.

Yun Kang bent down and shone the flashlight to Shen Duo's side, and saw that he was squatting in front of a stone slab, studying something carefully, and the stone slab seemed to be densely patterned and carved something.

The space in this place was so small that Yun Kang could only half-crouch down, and then moved under the tail of the stone donkey, and he tried his best to keep his head down so that his head did not hit the donkey's buttocks.

It was easy to get to the front and find that the stone slab stood on the left side of the entrance, embedded with the entire rock wall. Because the rock walls are coated with black asphalt, the gray-white slate is particularly eye-catching.

Yun Kang turned on the flashlight, and only then did he finally see clearly that there were indeed some pattern symbols engraved on the slate.

He was watching intently, Shen Duo suddenly took out a mobile phone from his pocket, turned it to the camera function, and "clicked" to take a few photos in a row with the pattern of the slate.

The flashlight in Yun Kang's hand stiffened, and he turned his head to stare at him incredulously, surprised by his actions.

He always thought that Shen Duo was a very old-school person, and the martial artists were addicted to fist and foot kung fu, dancing sticks and sticks all day long, not only had a very strange temper, but also looked down on new things.

Unexpectedly, Shen Duo, this kid is very high-tech, and he actually took out a mobile phone to take pictures.

Yunkang glanced at the brand model of the mobile phone, it is still a new model with 12 million pixels, and Shen Duoting will catch up with the fashion.

He saw Shen Duo one after another, "clicking" and patting, and asked strangely: "Aren't you here to hunt for treasures, how did you become an archaeologist and take pictures?"

Shen Duo adjusted the brightness of the lens, his expression was very indifferent, as if he took it for granted, he took a few more photos in a row, and then said: "I just saw the same figure on the wall of the secret room, I don't understand what it means, I used my mobile phone to take a picture of the slate and take it into the secret room to compare." ”

Yunkang saw that Shen Duo was thoughtful, meticulous, very meticulous, and regarded treasure hunting as a major event. On the contrary, it was himself, hanging his children along the way, as if he was playing with him.

Suddenly a little embarrassed, his face couldn't hold back, he quickly restrained the joke, his expression was also stern, and he lowered his head to look carefully at the patterns on the slate.

A thick layer of dust fell on the pattern, and the dust was swept away with cotton gloves, and the thin lines engraved on it were vaguely seen, all of which were commonly used by Taoists.

It's just that these moirés are painted black, and the horizontal and vertical strokes are very intricate. Yun Kang tilted his neck and glanced twice, the moire seemed to be combined into a figure, if you look at it from a distance, the outline of the figure looks like a long-legged bird.

However, this is all his own assumption, Taoist moire is generally related to talismans, it may be some kind of spell, and it does not necessarily have to spell out a specific image.

Shen Duo also saw that the silhouette of the cloud pattern was like a bird at this time, he frowned and pondered for a moment, and asked, "This bird is so mysterious, is it a totem of Taoist worship?"

Yun Kang looked at him as serious and serious, and he couldn't hold back his desire to laugh, just a bird, and a mystery, and a totem! But at this time, the atmosphere was tense, and it was very solemn, and it seemed very inappropriate to laugh.

So he coughed, resisted the urge to joke, nodded and said: "The early western ancestors did have the worship of bird totems, it is said that in the Nuwa era, the western leader Shaohao built a bird country, and the people and subjects in the country all had a pair of wings, claiming to be the descendants of the bird clan, able to fly in the sky, and very brave in battle. And Shao Hao is an ancient hero in Taoist mythology, judging from the five elements of the bird country, Juxi belongs to gold, and seeing wood and Ke is just the attribute of the elixir. Therefore, it is very possible for the Jindan sect to worship the bird totem in the alchemy secret room. ”

Shen Duo frowned and raised his eyes to look at him, his cold eyes flashed, and asked, "What you said, is it true or false?"

Yun Kang's expression moved, and he muttered dissatisfiedly, of course these are true, the young master is not idle and panicked, and he wastes his tongue to make up fake stories for you.

Looking up and seeing Shen Duo's stern expression, he obviously attached great importance to this matter, the corners of Yun Kang's mouth tightened, he himself was an immortal cultivator, and he couldn't reveal too much about the mysterious things about Taoism. So he pretended to joke and smiled: "It's all a myth thousands of years ago, you don't even believe it? ”

Shen Duo's face immediately turned dark, thinking that the totem bird was really something, but he didn't expect Yunkang to talk about it casually.

His eyes sank, put his phone in his pocket, and said coldly: "Since the graphics can't see anything, don't waste time, go to the secret room first." ”

After speaking, Shen Duo turned his head and burrowed into the dog-like entrance.

The entrance here is connected to a secret passage, which is very hidden. Because the walls on both sides are all pitch black, and the entrance to the cave is just blocked by the stone statues of the black donkey and Zhang Guolao, if you don't look carefully, there is no way to find a secret passage behind the black donkey.

Yunkang knew that Shen Duo was a little disappointed, but it was inconvenient to explain to him at this time. So he shut up, bent down, and went into the hole.

The head was only halfway drilled, and I suddenly remembered that I had just seen Zhang Guolao's back, this old fairy who was riding a donkey upside down, didn't know what his face looked like.

So he withdrew again, turned around with great difficulty, and shone a flashlight, wanting to see Zhang Guolao's appearance clearly.

The flashlight shone on the butt of a huge black donkey, and then Yunkang raised his hand and moved the light upward, and saw a little old man with a white beard sitting on the back of the donkey.

The little old man was bent over, his eyebrows and eyes were smiling, and a pair of small eyes were staring at him.

Yun Kang's scalp suddenly went numb, although it was only a carved stone, but the outer layer was a wax figure, and the expression of the little old man was vivid, looking at it under the flashlight, it looked like a living person who could breathe.

What made him feel weird the most was that this old man Guo looked so familiar, how could he look so similar to the old man's master?

"Yunkang, what are you still rubbing, can you move faster!" Shen Duo was very impatient in the secret passage and called out to him.

Yun Kang was scared into a cold sweat, damn, I thought it was the little old man who spoke.

"Got it, I'll go right away. He replied reluctantly, then calmed down, and then turned his head into the secret passage.

The thought just now just flashed in my mind, and I really didn't have time to continue pondering, no matter who that old Guo statue was, anyway, it was a stone statue, not a real person.

In his impression, the white-bearded old men in the world all look similar, all with the faces of smiling KFC colonels. The only difference is the difference between fat and thin, the old KFC is a little fatter, and the old man Master is a little thinner.

The more he thought about it, the more it made sense, let's see, even old men of different races have similarities, Master and Zhang Guo are of the same nationality, so it's not strange to hit your face.

As soon as Yunkang thought about it, he immediately left Zhang Guolao behind. At this time, he was half-squatting on two legs, his hands touched the ground, and he walked and crawled, and the cat bent down and concentrated on drilling forward. After about fifty meters, I suddenly saw a sharp turn of 90 degrees, and then entered a very narrow passage.

"Whew!" Yun Kang took a deep breath, this passage was sandwiched between two walls, it was narrow and long, he couldn't continue to squat, he could only straighten up, his chest and back pressed against the wall, and walked sideways like a crab.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he took two steps, the backpack behind him was stuck.

He looked up and saw that the passage looked like a crack cut in the middle by a stone, as wide as a man's side.

Yun Kang estimated the width, thinking that this passage is still picky, it has to be very thin, if it is replaced with a fat body like a fat intestine, it is estimated that he will not even be able to squeeze his belly in.

The passage is flanked by high black walls, with a pungent smell of asphalt and pine oil, which makes people have a headache.

Yun Kang struggled to move his body, quickly unloaded his backpack, and casually threw it into the Dragon Swallowing Ring. All he had left was a strong light flashlight and a dagger stuck in his equipment belt.

The air in the narrow passage was unpleasant, and Yun Kang held his breath as he moved sideways inside. He sucked his abs and held up a flashlight with one hand, shining the light upwards.

The height of the wall is more than 100 meters, and the flashlight is like a ray of ray, all the way to the top of the wall, because the distance is too far, only a thin gap can be seen above.

Yun Kang craned his neck and looked up, this feeling was very strange and made people feel a little uneasy.

Shen Duo walked in front of him, also sideways like a crab, but his steps moved very quickly, as if he was worried that the two walls would suddenly close.

"Hey, you don't have to be so nervous, this wall is dead, there are no mechanisms, it won't make you into a meatloaf. Yunkang didn't like the feeling of depression and wanted to relieve the tension, so he couldn't help but joke again.

Shen Duo turned his head to look at him, his eyes were cold, and said, "Your words are not funny at all, if the wall is really closed, even the immortals will not be able to escape." ”

Yun Kang saw that he was speaking, and deliberately raised the bar and said, "Of course the immortals can escape, just use one trick to penetrate the wall." ”

"Hmph, wall-piercing. Shen Duo sneered disdainfully, "The wall is smeared with asphalt black glue, and the wall piercing technique doesn't work at all, and the ground is a solid boulder, so it's not easy to use the ground escape technique." ”

Yun Kang was stunned, Shen Duo was a martial artist, not an immortal cultivator, and it was a bit strange that he was so familiar with the Taoist immortal method. He couldn't help but ask, "How do you know this?"

Shen Duo seemed to realize that he was talking too much, so he closed his mouth, no matter how Ren Yunkang asked him, he didn't speak, his legs walked quickly, and he walked sideways with a "whoosh".

Both of them fell silent, except for the sound of their footsteps moving forward and their trouser legs grinding against the wall. This narrow passage is not very long, and after walking for about 300 meters, the flashlight can already shine on the exit in front.

Shen Duo's figure walked faster and faster, and when he was three meters away, he jumped forward, easily leaving the narrow passage, and his figure disappeared in a flash, as if he had run into a spacious secret room.

After Shen Duo left the passage, the surroundings became extremely quiet, and Yun Kang was struggling to move his steps alone, when he suddenly heard a "squeak" sound overhead.

His mind was dazed, and he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Do the two walls really have to close? He glanced at it, it was at least fifty meters away from the exit, and at this moment his legs were caught in the passage, and his knees could not bend at all, even if he wanted to run out immediately, it was impossible.

"Squeak!" the voice above his head sounded again.

Yun Kang didn't dare to think about it, it was a waste of time to delay for a second, so he quickly moved his steps outward, and at the same time swept up with the flashlight, and suddenly saw a black shadow flashing at the top of the wall, revealing half of his black face from the gap.

The flashlight shone on a pair of black eyes that were like bull's eyes, Yun Kang's scalp exploded, and he reflexively shouted: "Who is it?" The black face was stunned for a moment, and then flashed away.

The high wall was empty, and when Yun Kang looked over in the blink of an eye, half of his black face was gone, leaving only a pitch-black gap.

Shen Duo heard his shout, and his figure immediately flashed to the exit of the passage, and asked vigilantly, "What's the matter?"

Yun Kang didn't speak, and hurriedly moved forward, and soon reached the exit of the passage. He wiped away a handful of sweat, raised his flashlight again, and shone it against the high wall, but there was still nothing.

He laughed dryly and said, "This wall is more than 30 stories high, and people can't climb it at all, maybe I'm dazzled by the mistake." ”

Having said that, he was puzzled in his heart, he did see half a black face just now, and it was a human face, with a pair of black eyes.

Shen Duo didn't continue to ask, and Yun Kang didn't want to be verbose, so he left the narrow passage and entered a stone house secret room.

The entrance is a long and narrow gap, and when you enter, you find that the inside is very empty and wide.

Yunkang swept around with a flashlight, and couldn't help but say, "Shen Duo, this is the secret room you are talking about? Whose secret room looks like this, this is obviously a cave." ”

In front of me, a natural stone cave appeared in front of me, the size of a football field.

Yun Kang stood in the middle of the cave, looking at the high top of the cave with a flashlight, and suddenly had a feeling of shock. The top of the cave is about 100 meters high from the ground, and the strange rocks around it are craggy, and the rocks piled up layer by layer have different shapes, extending to the top of the cave, which looks very grand and majestic.

Compared to the large, empty cavern, he was too small.
