Chapter 204: Murals
Several people walked more than 200 meters to the depths of the cave, the stone walls on both sides became more and more rugged and towering, and the flashlights shone past, and the hazy light reflected the protruding rocks, showing all kinds of strange shapes, extremely eerie.

"Brother-in-law, have you been to this cave before?" Yan Wei did not hesitate when he saw Yun Kang's footsteps, and seemed to be very familiar with the twists and turns of the dark cave, so he couldn't help but ask.
Yun Kang raised his hand and "shh At this moment, his mind was full of pictures from the dream, and he felt that the stone walls on both sides had been seen before, and they were vividly in front of him.
He slowly stopped, closed his eyes and thought for a while, the impression in his memory gradually became clear, and he couldn't help but whisper: "There is a mechanism on the stone wall near here, which can open a secret passage. ”
As he spoke, he reached out and groped twice on the stone wall on the left side, touching a protruding round stone, and with a twist of his fingers, as if conjuring a trick, the stone wall made a "click" sound, and in a blink of an eye, it cracked in the middle, and a deep downward corridor appeared.
Everyone was very stunned, staring at Yun Kang incredulously, Xing Hao's eyes flickered, and he stepped forward and asked, "How do you know that there is a mechanism, what is the purpose of you deliberately leading us to the cave?"
Xing Hao has been in the Task Force for five years, and he has encountered many strange things when he came out on a mission, but none of them were thrilling this time, their experience was so bizarre, and it seemed that someone was manipulating behind it.
So Xing Hao couldn't help but be suspicious of Yun Kang, and when he saw him easily open the stone wall mechanism at this moment, his suspicion was even heavier, and he didn't believe that everything was a coincidence.
The others thought the same as Xing Hao, no one believed that this matter was not premeditated, but they couldn't help but ask, and they all turned their heads and stared at Yun Kang, wanting to hear what he had to say.
The flashlight shone through the deep corridor, and I saw stone steps in the passage, twisting and turning, and the end of the corner was so dark that I couldn't see anything.
Yunkang knew that this matter couldn't be more serious, if he said that he saw the scene in his dream, I'm afraid that only stupid people would believe it. He simply didn't explain, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, lit it and took two puffs and said, "From this corridor, you can find a way out, all the way out of the valley." ”
Xing Hao's face was cloudy, and he asked, "How do you know that there is a way out of the passage, and what ambush is hidden in the passage?"
Yun Kang's eyes were cold, he spit out a puff of smoke rings in his mouth, and said coldly: "Team Xing, I don't have time to answer your questions, if you want to go with us, just say a few words." If you doubt me, you can go back the way you came, whether you go or stay, whatever you want. ”
He had a strong premonition that the only way out of the valley if he wanted to leave the valley safely was under the stone staircase corridor.
But at this moment, Yun Kang also had vague concerns in his heart, there seemed to be some invisible danger in this deep and winding passage in front of him, and he didn't know what was hiding in the hidden shadows, waiting for them to throw themselves into the net.
Xing Hao's face changed twice, and he snorted coldly: "Yunkang, if you don't explain clearly, I won't let you leave easily, if you dare to resist the task force, I can kill you on the spot." ”
As he spoke, he pulled out the pistol on his waist and pointed the muzzle of the black hole at Yunkang.
Xing Hao's gaze was extremely complicated, with a hint of pity in his contempt, no matter how arrogant Yun Kang was, he would never dare to be reckless in front of the task force, as long as he was a martial artist, he would have to be under the jurisdiction of the task force.
If Yun Kang doesn't know the current affairs and falls out with the task force, don't blame the deputy captain for being unkind, and it is reasonable to shoot him.
"Team Xing, don't be impatient. The only remaining task force member beside Xing Hao was sweating and hurriedly dissuaded.
Ge Fengdu stepped forward and persuaded him: "Lao Xing, the six of us are tied to a rope, we should advance and retreat together, if there are any differences, let's talk about leaving the valley, if there is infighting at this time, none of us can escape." ”
Xing Hao has always been stubborn and self-serving, and he does not agree with Ge's demeanor, so he didn't listen to his advice at all, and the muzzle of the gun was still aimed at Yunkang, and the surrounding atmosphere suddenly froze, and the two sides confronted each other nervously.
Shen Duo's expression was cold, he glanced at Xing Hao, and snorted: "You can shoot and try to see who dies in the end?"
Yan Fucha's eyes rolled, a contemptuous look appeared on his face, and he said to Xing Hao with a smile: "Deputy Xing, you seem to have overestimated your strength, the two of you, the four of us, who can destroy whom?"
Ge Fengdu saw that the two sides were facing each other, and wanted to persuade him, but he stopped talking, he looked at Xing Hao, and finally remained silent, and moved to stand beside Yunkang, his position was already very clear.
Yun Kang laughed, Xing Hao was a blind clown in his eyes, with no deterrent at all, and he couldn't reach the level of his opponent at all.
So he turned a blind eye to the muzzle of the gun, and treated Xing Hao as air, and didn't look at it.
He extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand, turned his head to Shen Duo and said, "Let's get out of here quickly, we won't be able to catch up with the crew for another day, not to mention that the actor will be robbed, and even the role of the supporting actor will not be available." ”
Yun Kang was a little sympathetic to Xing Hao, this guy threatened him with a pistol, it really didn't even have any fart, even if he threw the bomb in front of him, he would still ignore it.
Shen Duo nodded to Yunkang, raised his flashlight and swept towards the stone steps passage, and said, "Let's go, I'll lead the way in front, and you all follow." ”
None of the four of them paid attention to Xing Hao, and walked down the stone steps in front and back.
Xing Hao stood in place with his pistol raised, his face extremely ugly. He has been on duty in the Task Force for many years, and the warriors greet him with a smile when they see him, and he is obedient, and he has never seen such an arrogant guy as Yun Kang.
At this moment, he was holding a sullen breath in his stomach, and wanted to pull the trigger and shoot, but he didn't dare to act rashly.
He has seen Yunkang's skills, he is not an ordinary martial artist, not to mention Shen Duo and Yan Fucha, these guys from the witch sect are not easy to mess with, once they get into trouble, he can't deal with the three thorns alone.
Seeing that the four of them had already walked into the passage, Xing Hao hesitated for a moment, withdrew his pistol with some embarrassment, and gave his subordinates a look, the two were silent, and followed them down the stone steps.
The air in the passage was a little dull, and the stone steps extended downward, and the color of the stone walls on both sides gradually increased. After turning a few corners in the passage, everyone found that the surrounding stones had turned a deep jet black, and a strong smell of sulfur wafted out.
All the way to the end of the stone steps, there is a closed stone cave with little space, only more than 20 square meters. Shen Duo said in a deep voice: "The front is blocked, and there seems to be no way out." He swept the flashlight over his head, only to see that it was full of uneven boulders, with a jagged and abrupt shape, and there was no way to exit.
"Look at it, there seems to be a painting on this stone wall. Ge Fengdu, who had been silent, muttered, he lowered his body to look carefully, his eyes suddenly widened, and his face became even paler.
The large stone is painted with brightly colored murals, and the eye is greeted by an ancient man, wearing a flowing embroidered red robe, with a golden crown in his hair, young and free, with handsome eyebrows, a rich expression on his face, and a mysterious smile at the corner of his mouth.
A fluttering purple-clothed girl stood beside the red-robed man, with a golden peacock hairpin inserted in her cloud bun, waving two colorful long silk threads in her hands, her face was extremely elegant and beautiful.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the mural, and they couldn't help but let out an exclamation of "tsk".
Ge Fengdu looked confused, looked at the red-robed man on the mural, and muttered, "This person seems to be ...... And the girl next to him, I've seen ...... before" His lips trembled twice, turned his head to look at Yunkang, and said, "She's ...... It's ......"
Yan Fucha couldn't stand his spitting, always wanting to speak and stopping, and asked impatiently: "Second brother, have you seen these two ancient people? Who are they, you can make it clear, stop halfway through, isn't this a hurry?" ”
Yun Kang frowned slightly, and wondered a little in his heart, he remembered that the mural in the dream was a man in green clothes wearing a mask, that should be the Witch Spirit King, how did he become a man in a red robe?
He was slightly stunned, and then smiled hoarsely, the dream was just a fragment of the subconscious, not real, and it was ridiculous that he took the dream seriously.
When I looked up, I saw the red robe of the man on the mural fluttering, lifelike against the black stone, as if he was about to walk down from the painting.
Yun Kang looked at the red-robed man's eyes, feeling familiar, but very unfamiliar.
His gaze moved to the side, attracted by the beautiful purple-clothed girl, and then heard Ge Fengdu say that he had seen this girl, and quickly turned his head and asked, "Where have you seen her?"
The girl in purple appeared in his mind more than once, sometimes with haunting memories and sometimes dreams like reality, making Yunkang feel restless every time he thought about it, as if she was an extremely important person in his life, but unfortunately he couldn't remember who it was.
Ge Fengdu coughed, his eyes flickered twice, avoiding Yun Kang's gaze, and only after a while did he say, "This is a secret of one of my friends, I can't tell it." ”
Yun Kang saw that he had such an attitude, and he didn't want to force it, Ge Fengdu looked like a burly man, but he was indecisive and had a lot of worries about doing things, not a neat and neat character, and forcing him to say it would only be counterproductive.
He scanned the two divine senses, carefully examined the surrounding stone walls, and found that these jet-black stone walls could block the divine sense.
Yun Kang frowned, and took a dagger to cut the stone wall, it turned out that the mural was made of sulfur stone, and a large amount of asphalt was smeared on it.
He slowly retracted his consciousness and said, "There should be an exit nearby, let's look for it separately." ”
The stone cave here is obviously artificially hewn, and the four walls are made of sulfur stone and asphalt, deliberately preventing the divine consciousness of the immortal cultivators, just not wanting people to find the secret of the stone cave.
Yan Fucha scratched his ears and cheeks and looked around, but he didn't find a way out, so he couldn't help but shout: "Second Brother Ge, you are really not interesting, and there are still secrets hidden at this time." We've been in trouble, maybe we'll die together later, and we'll die in the same hole, how can you bear to hide it from everyone, it's too chilling. ”
Ge Fengdu frowned, his expression was hesitant, Yan Fucha hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, and said: "Second brother, the characters on this mural may be the key to our escape, if you don't say it, you won't be able to find the mechanism, and everyone will be trapped to death at that time, don't you feel guilty?"
Yunkang didn't want Yan Fucha to continue to embarrass him, so he raised his hand and said, "Fucha, let's study the matter of the mural again, since Ge Er doesn't want to say it, don't ask again." He is reluctant to reveal, and it is a waste of time for you to say more. ”
Shen Duo was very dissatisfied with Ge Feng, glanced at him coldly, then circled around and said, "The stone cave is completely closed, there is no exit, you can only retreat from the original way. ”
Yun Kang thought of the large group of witch locusts outside the cave, and at this time retreated from the original road, it was a dead end, and it was better to die in the stone cave than to be eaten by the witch locusts.
He shook his head unwillingly, looked around, and said, "I trust my instincts, there are stone steps built in the cave, and there are so many murals, there is definitely a special purpose. Let's look carefully, maybe there is a way out. ”
Several people immediately dispersed, all holding flashlights and searching carefully.
At this time, Xing Hao walked down the stone steps, entered the stone cave, shone a flashlight on the mural, looked at it twice, and suddenly said "Huh", and said: "Isn't this person Liang Ziye? ”
As soon as Yun Kang heard him say this, he hurriedly came to the mural, pointed to the ancient red-robed man on it and asked, "You said that he is Liang Ziye, and that mythological anthropologist?"
A strange feeling floated in his heart, he had suspected that Liang Ziye was an immortal cultivator before, but there was no evidence. If the red-robed man on the mural is really Liang Ziye, then his guess is not groundless, chasing the wind.
Xing Hao looked at the red-robed man on the mural, pursed his lips, and snorted: "Liang Ziye, this guy, used to be a special adviser to the Task Force, and he usually likes to play tricks on the mystery, and he is a god and a god all day long, not to mention that he is dressed in ancient costume, even if he turns into ashes, I know him." ”
He obviously suffered a loss under Liang Ziye, and when he talked about this person, he had a gritted tooth expression.
Yun Kang's heart moved, he turned his head to look at Ge Fengdu, and saw that his face changed color with a "swish", and he knew that Xing Hao was right, the red-robed man on the mural was Liang Ziye.
He suddenly said in a deep voice: "Ge Er, the person who gave you a blood transfusion should be Liang Ziye." Because he is your friend and benefactor, you are to keep it a secret for him. ”
Yun Kang paused for a moment, and then continued: "Liang Ziye has been to this cave before, and the topographic map in the valley was also drawn by him, so he must know the way out of the valley. ”
Ge Fengdu's pale face trembled twice, revealing a painful expression, and said, "You guessed right, we went on a mission a year ago, and Liang Ziye saved my life, but he didn't escape himself. And my brothers, none of whom survived. ”
His gaze turned to the mural, raised his hand and pointed to the girl in purple and said, "Liang Ziye collected a portrait before, and it is this woman in purple, who is said to be his crush. ”
"Who's in your interest?" Yun Kang was slightly stunned, turned his eyes to look at the purple-clothed girl in the mural, saw her pretty face, looking forward to Shenfei, standing next to Liang Ziye in a red robe, with a look that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, which made him feel a little sour in his heart.
This purple-clothed girl was Liang Ziye's crush, which made Yun Kang unexpected and felt very surprised.
He was a little angry, raised his hand and slapped it heavily on the mural, exuding a breath of true anger, wanting to dissipate the portrait of the red-robed man, but he didn't want people to see his thoughts. So he coughed dryly, diverted the topic, and said: "The mural is nothing beautiful, and there is no need to find out who painted it, it is important to find a way." ”
A large area of red paint was melted by the true qi in his palm, and the portrait of the red-robed man soon became mottled, and after the mural faded, the blue background was faintly revealed.
"It's weird. Yan Fucha looked at the stone wall in the light of the flashlight, narrowed his eyes and said, "Look, there seems to be a layer of murals down here. ”
Everyone was stunned, and hurriedly approached the mural, followed the light to take a closer look, and sure enough, after the portrait of the red-robed man peeled off, another portrait mural was revealed.
Yun Kang immediately shot out a ball of true qi, completely melting away the red paint, and soon a man in ancient Tsing Yi was revealed on the stone wall, wearing a blue mask on his face.
Shen Duo looked at this mural, and showed a surprised look, this ancient man wearing a blue mask was the image of the Witch Spirit King. As a disciple of the Witch Sect, he couldn't be more familiar with the Witch Spirit King.
He turned his head and glanced at Yun Kang, his expression was a little strange, it seemed that there was some relationship between the Witch Spirit King, the purple-clothed girl and Liang Ziye, and the relationship between the three of them was quite complicated.
Yunkang was a little embarrassed, pretended to cough calmly, and said, "It turns out that there is a layer of murals underneath, which I really didn't expect." ”
The mural was originally the Witch Spirit King and the girl in purple, exactly the same as the scene he saw in his dream, Yun Kang saw the girl in purple and the person in Tsing Yi together, and his heart suddenly felt much more comfortable.
Except for Shen Duo, the others present did not know that Yun Kang was the Witch Spirit King, and they were all full of reverence and curiosity about the masked man in Tsing Yi. A few of their eyes swept over the mural, only to see the man in Tsing Yi fluttering in his clothes, majestic, riding a fanged white tiger beast with long wings.
Dazzling red flames erupted from the blood basin mouth of the divine beast, and the forehead was covered with a hard beast armor scale, and it was an adult poor beast.
The man in Tsing Yi held a strangely shaped jet-black halberd, and the sharp tip of the halberd pointed diagonally downward, looking a somewhat strange and unnatural posture.
Several people looked at each other, looked in the direction of the tip of the halberd, and saw a pile of black broken stones next to the stone wall, exuding a rich and pungent sulfur smell, and the tip of the halberd on the mural pointed to this inconspicuous pile of sulfur stones.
