Chapter 221: Originally a bait
The two of them walked forward for a while, and the top of the tunnel was getting damp, and in some places there were some traces of water. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Xiao Shura said, "We should be under the waterhole at this time. I don't know where this tunnel leads, but I haven't seen any signs of the end after walking for a long time. ”
Li Tianqi said: "The waterhole is about a mile wide, and if I remember the direction correctly, at this moment we are walking through the bottom of the waterhole and towards the gap under the two cliffs. ”
Xiao Shura shook his head and said: "It seems that this blood-sucking leech is too capable of tossing, isn't it easier to make a wooden boat, why bother digging a tunnel like this?" ”
Li Tianqi said: "There may be some strange here, but we don't know, and he should have his own purpose in building this tunnel." ”
Xiao Shura smiled: "But speaking of which, since he has cultivated into a demon, doesn't he know the art of maneuvering?" It took a lot of effort. ”
The two of them suddenly came to a shaking, like the ground moving, the tremor was extremely strong, and they heard a dull sound from the depths of the tunnel one after another, like a boulder falling. However, it only lasted for a while, and then calm returned.
Xiao Shura said in surprise: "Is it really a trick again?" They've blocked us in there? ”
Li Tianqi also felt a little strange, but after thinking about it carefully, he said: "I just heard a sound in front of me, but I didn't hear a sound in the rear, maybe it's just a collapse in front of us, but since we have come here, we can only continue to break into it now, and then we will see the opportunity to act." ”
Xiao Shura sighed: "It can only be like this." ”
The two quickened their pace, walked forward for a cup of tea, and saw a stone door.
There is no collapse here, and there is no sign of a trap.
There was a push ring on this stone door, and Li Tianqi tried to push it hard, and the stone door moved outward slightly, penetrating some light and heavy dust.
At this time, neither of them bothered to observe the outside, they were more worried that the outside of the stone gate had been blocked by things.
This stone gate was extremely heavy, Li Tianqi couldn't push it open, Xiao Shura assisted from the side, and the two of them worked together to slowly push this stone door open.
"Pushed away!" Xiao Shura was extremely happy in her heart, which proved that someone did not deliberately block the tunnel, and she was a lot more relieved.
Outside the stone gate, but seeing the dust rolling inside and the smoke filled, the two of them didn't know what was going on, and hid back in the tunnel behind the stone gate again.
After a while, the dust gradually cleared, and the two of them came out of the tunnel and saw the situation. Everywhere there were fragments of rock falling from the top of a hundred feet high, and the top seemed to have been torn open by a great force to make a wide hole so that you could see the stars above, and it seemed that it was night.
Xiao Shura waved his hand and slapped the side of his nose a few times, and said, "What happened just now?" Why are there so many rocks here? Could it be caused by ground movements? ”
Li Tianqi looked at the scattered rocks everywhere, including boulders and rocks that had broken into pieces, and there were mud puddles thrown out of these falling rocks everywhere.
The stone gate they had just moved was built in the mountain wall, and it was not hit, but it was blocked with some stones, which was difficult to open.
Li Tianqi said: "It seems that something has happened here. But he searched everywhere, but apart from the scattered stones, he found no figure of the woman in white.
This is a grotto, and it looks like the inside of the two cliffs, two fires are erected in the corners, and one of the fires has been hit by a boulder and has fallen to the ground and continues to burn.
The grotto is a mountain on three sides and only one side is a pool of water, the water surface is about seven or eight zhang wide, and many broken boulders roll into the water, wet.
This pool of water should be connected to the previous Black Dragon Pond. The place where you can see is less than ten feet from here, and the black hole doesn't know where to go.
Xiao Shura shook his head and said, "There is no other exit here, and I haven't seen any traces of those white-clothed women hiding here. ”
Li Tianqi said: "Either they are flying up." Either that, or just wander away from here. ”
Xiao Shura looked at the top of the hundred-zhang high cave, shook his head and said, "Don't say it's them, even if it's me, it's impossible to jump up." Not to mention flying. ”
Li Tianqi pointed to the water's edge and said, "Then there is only this way." But this waterhole feels a little strange to me. ”
Xiao Shura smiled: "Isn't it just water?" Although our Nanzhao is located in a remote area, the rivers are dense, and I am familiar with the nature of the water, so I have no problem swimming for a few miles. ”
Li Tianqi said: "I'm afraid that there is a problem with this water. ”
Xiao Shura smiled: "What's wrong with water? She stretched out her fingers, and a piece of gravel was sucked from the ground into her palm, and she waved her hand to throw the stone into the pool, and with a "poof" sound, some splashes of water.
"Look." Xiao Shura said, "Isn't it just ordinary water? You're also being too careful at this point. Otherwise, we'll have to go back through the tunnels. You can pass through this water, maybe you can meet those women in white? Otherwise, we will follow up here from time to time without accomplishments? Where did they go? ”
Li Tianqi said: "I just can't figure out what they are doing here? And have they gotten what they wanted? So retreated? Why choose waterways? ”
Xiao Shura smiled and asked, "If you want to retreat, why don't you go back the way you came?" Instead choose the waterway? ”
Li Tianqi nodded and said, "You have a point, returning the same way must be faster than swimming over." Unless they don't get there. ”
Xiao Shura waved his hand and said, "Don't think about it so much, see if there are any traces here, otherwise I will chase after the water." ”
Li Tianqi and Xiao Shura began to search here, but it was extremely messy by the falling rocks above, and they didn't find anything strange.
But at this moment, Li Tianqi still found a small hole on the side of the mountain, and the small hole had obviously been discovered and deliberately smashed down the mud to cover it up.
Li Tianqi said to Xiao Shura: "Short knife, hand it to me." ”
"Look." Xiao Shura threw the short knife in his hand to Li Tianqi's side like lightning, and the short knife was slightly inserted into the mountain, still trembling.
Li Tianqi gently picked up the short knife, carefully pried out the mud block that closed the small hole, and saw the situation inside, it was empty, except for some dirt powder left, there was nothing.
Xiao Shura had already walked over at this time and asked, "What did you find?" ”
Li Tianqi said: "Although there is no powder in this mark, it looks like it should have been left by the same person." ”
Xiao Shura just glanced into the small hole and smiled: "It's true, but why didn't she leave the powder?" ”
Li Tianqi said: "That's because when she left a mark last time, someone found her, but instead of piercing her on the spot, she deliberately applied some medicinal powder on it to lure us into being fooled." This time, when the demon girl tried to set up a secret mark, she was discovered, but she had already been taken away from the powder, so there was no powder here. But it was still destroyed by those women in white. ”
Xiao Shura said, "Well, but it only proves that those women have indeed been here. As for where they went, he did not say. ”
Li Tianqi said: "I suddenly had an inexplicable and wonderful idea, why did these strange women in white take away the demon girl, and what value could she have that they could use?" Is it as bait? ”
Xiao Shura asked, "What are you thinking?" Bait? ”
Li Tianqi said: "Don't you think it's strange? They had worked so hard to bring the enchantress from where you had been imprisoned all the way here, and now they are gone, and if it wasn't for the use of her, then why not find a good way to evacuate quickly? ”
Xiao Shura smiled, "I see what you mean." Are you saying these women in white are doing the same thing? ”
"Re-acting?" Li Tianqi asked puzzledly, "How do you say this?" ”
"How many **** have passed, and I forgot about it?" Xiao Shura said: "Isn't your Tang army attacked by giant spiders in the Sichuan and Shu area? How do you think about it? ”
According to the situation at that time, it is speculated that in the forests around Nachuan and Shu, it was first caused by the giant spider attacking the three sergeants who had been dug out of their eyes. But that was just speculation, and there was no evidence to confirm that it was indeed deliberately done by the woman in white, but at this time, listening to Shura say this, it was as if she had witnessed everything with her own eyes.
Li Tianqi was surprised: "Is it really them?" ”
Xiao Shura smiled: "Of course it's them." And after you attract those giant spiders, they can enter the giant spider's lair and find the giant spider king. I saw it all. ”
Li Tianqi nodded and said, "In this way, their purpose will be clear." ”
Xiao Shura said: "They kidnapped the demon girl just to attract blood-sucking leeches? ”
Li Tianqi said: "That's right, that's it. With such a reasoning, the demon girl has the value of their use, and it is as a bait that she comes, just like the sergeant of my Datang Dynasty at the beginning. But what exactly is the mastermind behind this gang doing? Are they going to do something with these weird demons? ”
Xiao Shura said: "In this case, we will only know the truth if we find them, so we will quickly chase them from the waterway." "After that, we have to go into the water.
Li Tianqi hurriedly stopped it, returned the short knife to her hand, and said, "No, there is something strange in this water." ”
Xiao Shura shook his head and said, "I can't see it." ”
Li Tianqi said: "There are so many flying ashes, it stands to reason that a layer of dust will fall on the water surface, but you can see that the water surface is still clear, obviously this is not in line with common sense, which is why I think it is strange." ”
Xiao Shura asked, "Then don't you chase it down?" ”
Li Tianqi shook his head and said, "We may not be able to catch up." ”
Xiao Shura asked, "Why?" ”
Li Tianqi raised his eyes and glanced at the top, and said lightly: "They walked from above." ”
Xiao Shura also glanced at it: "Huh? How is this possible? ”
