Chapter 241: The Show Goes On
Dozens of warriors marched along the woods by the lake with four hostages, torches and flashlights in their hands, illuminating a bright passage through the dark forest. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yan Fucha exchanged himself for Changqing and went back, and there were only two hostages left, Brother Li, who was in his forties, and Xiaoliang, the young man who was short and dundun.
Shen Moutong ordered someone to loosen their bonds, there are so many warriors guarding them, they can't escape if they want to, and it is inconvenient to move with ropes.
The reason why he left these two people was because he had a plan in his heart, first, he wanted to hold them in his hands as hostages, in case of a conflict with the task force in Xiancheng, they could still block them with hostages.
In addition, there is another idea, legend has it that the secret realm of the fairy city is blessed by the gods, and they open the secret realm on the night of the full moon, and they always have to offer human and animal sacrifices to the gods to appear pious. Shen Mouton believes in ghosts and gods very much, and opening the secret realm without sacrifices will provoke the anger of the gods, and when the time comes, the curse will be cast, but there will be endless troubles.
So he held Brother Li and Xiaoliang tightly, just to let them be sacrificed.
The two men knew nothing and thought that they had been robbed by robbers and that someone would always come to their rescue. Thinking of the five people who came together, the other three were luckier than them, and the two of them couldn't help but hang their heads, like two lambs waiting to be slaughtered, silently following in the middle of the procession, not daring to resist at all, let alone knowing that they were heading towards the place of death.
Shen Mouton didn't care about the two hostages, he was worried that Yunkang would make a ghost halfway, and deliberately delayed the time to let the task force catch up with them.
He ordered the warriors to move quickly, and their path followed the woods on the east side of the lake, with the lake on one side and the steep cliff on the other, and the path in the middle was so narrow and rugged that they could not walk side by side, so they had to form a line and make their way through the dense forest.
Walking to a place about two kilometers away from the camp, the person leading the way in front suddenly stopped, Shen Mouton stepped forward, looked left and right a few times, ordered someone to burn the vines and weeds on the cliff wall next to him with a torch, and then took a bundle of explosives and put it on the cliff wall.
As soon as he gave the order, everyone prostrated on the ground, hiding far away, only to hear the sound of "boom", and a huge grotto exploded on the cliff wall, revealing a deep cave inside.
Yun Kang had already discovered that the back of the cliff was empty, and the entrance was blocked by a boulder, which was overgrown with vines over the years, and if anyone wanted to enter the cave, the boulder had to be blown open.
It's just that he can't figure it out, the light in the dense forest is insufficient, the cliff wall is overgrown with vines, and everything looks the same everywhere, what method did Shen Mouton use to easily find this boulder that has been hidden for many years? He couldn't help but sigh secretly, it seems that this hunter kid has some real material, at least the ability to track down clues should not be underestimated.
After Shin Mouton opened the cave, he didn't go in immediately, but discussed his next move with the people around him.
The task force will soon be following them, and the explosion just now revealed the target, so in order to distract the task force, they must split up after entering the cave.
Shen Mouton told the plan, and the other warriors had no opinion. So this group of people was divided into two teams, and Shen Mouton first led a group of warriors to open the way in front, and escorted Yun Kang and Yan Fucha into the cave. Five minutes later, another group of warriors followed with Brother Li and Xiao Liang, and after entering the cave, they went out through another fork in the road, and the two teams finally met at the altar of the fairy city.
After discussing it, Shen Mouton said: "There are many forks in the road in this cave, and the task force can't understand the special identification signs, even if they follow in, they will be dizzy and confused, and they can't find the right direction, so we can delay time and go straight to Huanglong." ”
Yun Kang and Yan Fucha glanced at each other, and they both had the same idea, this kid is really a chicken thief!
Listening to Shen Mouton's words, he wanted to take the first step and let others help him cover. This kid is worried about the task force tracking, those are all excuses. He proposed to act separately and take people to the Xiancheng altar first, the purpose was too obvious, and a thief's heart was clearly revealed, so he wanted to be one step ahead of others and get more benefits.
According to Shen Mouton's arrangement, another group of warriors were led by the Tang family brothers and sisters, and followed up the cave after five minutes, and then the two teams acted separately, and the people behind were responsible for leading the task force.
The IQ of the Tang family brothers and sisters made Yunkang speechless, thinking that these two people were really good mallets, and they played a lot for Shen Mouton, and they didn't know that they were cannon fodder. At this time, the Tang family brothers and sisters were all wearing gas masks, and they didn't know that they had been recognized, so Yunkang didn't bother to debunk them, pretending not to see anything, and didn't want to remind them to be careful of Shen Mouton.
Tang Yao and Shen Moutong must have known each other for a long time, these two people should cooperate inside and outside, exchange news, and toss so many famous halls, what tricks do they want to play, is it just to trick Yan Fucha into Immortal City?
Yunkang felt that things were not so simple, he had dealt with the Tang brothers and sisters, and knew that they liked to shoot the "Treasure Hunt" show, but they were not enthusiastic about finding treasures. The Tang family is the descendants of the Seven Great Chinese Clans, and they don't care about the amount of money, unless the treasure has special meaning to them, they will come all the way to the Eight Immortals Town to adventure.
This is really a wonderful show, Yun Kang glanced at Shen Moutong quietly, and snorted coldly in his heart, Then let's wait and see, and see what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of you people.
Yan Fucha has been messing with Yunkang for a long time, and when he saw his expression, he understood what he was thinking about, smiled beside him, and said in a low voice: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get a tiger, brother-in-law, this time we will make a lot of money." ”
He took the initiative to be a hostage, the purpose was not to be a good person and not leave a name, but to infiltrate into the fairy city with Shen Mouton, and after finding the treasure, it was not too late to start fighting these guys to the end.
If the other side had split the two groups, the situation would have been very different, and it would have clearly worked in their favor. There is no need to waste energy taking care of the two hostages, he has Yunkang here, the two of them act together, it is convenient to make trouble in secret, and there is no need to worry about anything.
In Yan Fucha's heart, his brother-in-law is invincible in the world and will undoubtedly win. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be a little excited, and he couldn't wait to go to the fairy city immediately, completely forgetting that he was also a hostage, and he was going to the altar as a blood sacrifice.
Shen Mouton led a group of warriors into the cave, and Yun Kang followed them in, only to find that this was a very large stone cave, and the passage inside was very spacious, and the four people did not feel crowded side by side.
At this time, Shen Mouton asked people to extinguish all the torches, there are flammable substances in the cave, and it is easy to burn the whole cave by igniting a fire, and they will become roast pigs inside.
Moreover, ignition will leave burn marks on the stone wall, marking the people who are following behind. As soon as the warriors heard this, no one wanted to be overtaken by the task force, so they extinguished the torches in their hands and replaced them with flashlights.
They walked forward for a while, and soon a turn appeared, with four almost identical turns. Shen Mouton only glanced lightly, raised his hand and pointed to one of them, and said, "Go this way." ”
Yun Kang followed them in, the passage inside became more and more complicated, and there were turns in all directions, and a team of people went around and around inside, walking a few forks, and they could barely distinguish the direction.
He couldn't help but sigh secretly, if it weren't for Shen Mouton leading the way in front, it would be really difficult to find the entrance to the fairy city.
Yunkang leaned behind him with his divine sense, and found that after the Tang family brothers and sisters led people into the cave, they took another fork in the road and drifted away from them.
He preliminarily estimated that there should be more than one way to enter the fairy city, remembering that when the city was built in ancient times, the city walls were set up with four gates in the south, east, and west. Tang Yao and the others were obviously going to another city gate, and he used his divine sense to probe the distance between the two teams, but unfortunately he couldn't estimate the size of the immortal city.
His divine sense could only sweep to a radius of about three hundred meters, and he couldn't detect the edge of another fork in the road, so he had to give up in the end, but the scale of this immortal city should be larger than he imagined.
A group of people walked in the cave for about half an hour, Yun Kang couldn't count how many forks there were, and was wondering how the cave was formed, there were so many passages, and suddenly smelled a pungent rancid smell wafting in front of him.
Shen Mouton immediately stopped, ordered all the warriors to wear gas masks, and also asked Yunkang and Yan Fucha to wear one each.
Whether Yun Kang wears a gas mask or not actually has no effect, but he follows the local customs, and it is also beneficial after wearing it, others can't see his expression, and they can observe it however they want.
So he didn't say a word, put the gas mask on his head, looked around, and his consciousness poked forward. I saw that in a hazy smoke, shrouded in a gray-black ancient city wall, with rare pavilions and pavilions, it looked mysterious and gloomy in the dark, and there was a majestic and solemn atmosphere.
He couldn't help but take a deep breath, this was the immortal city they were looking for, it was almost close at hand, as long as he went out from the cave in front of him, and walked another two hundred meters, he could reach the legendary Eight Immortal Town, where immortals soared.
When this real Eight Immortals Town stood in front of him, Yun Kang suddenly had a moment of trance, this high wall and city tower are typical Ming Dynasty style, the divine sense from far to near scan the past, the city wall in the dense fog is gray and unclear, but it seems that every detail on the eaves of the city tower is very familiar, so that he has a sense of déjà vu.
The warriors were all well-trained and obeyed the order to stop and rest, and Shen Mouton told them to pack up the equipment they were carrying, rest for ten minutes and eat something, and after going out of the cave, it was the fairy city.
At this time, some people sat on the steps of the stone cave and beat their legs, while others took off their gas masks, nibbled on bread twice, and poured mineral water with a gurgling mouth.
They dimmed the flashlight to save electricity, and everyone sat or stood against the wall, and in the dim light, everyone was wearing a gas mask, and they all looked the same.
Everyone stopped to rest, there was no sound around, it became extremely quiet, and the occasional sound of someone drinking water was also very abrupt.
Yan Fucha quietly pulled Yunkang and said in a low voice: "Brother-in-law, why do I keep frowning, I am inexplicably anxious, I don't know what's going on." ”
Yun Kang "shh
A divine sense swept to the man's face, Yun Kang was slightly stunned, then grabbed Yan Fucha, slowly retreated to the corner of the stone wall, and said, "You squat here and don't move, there is a good show to watch behind." ”
