Chapter 254: Nanzhao Weapons
Just as Zhou Ruolin and the Ling Tian Cave Master were once again taking advantage of the darkness to go out to explore the Xuanjing Gate, Li Tianqi heard the sound of broken branches on the ground being trampled off outside the patio, as if someone was there. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
There has been almost no one walking in the patio after nightfall, but tonight seems to be a little abnormal, Li Tianqi's heart moved, he couldn't stay anymore because he could only stay in the inn and felt idle, he blew out the candle and went out of the door, but saw that there was no figure outside the patio, but faintly felt a shadow shaking.
Anyway, there was nothing to do, he quickly closed the door and simply ran downstairs, and when he came down, he caught a glimpse of a figure shrinking into the backyard, the backyard was not inhabited, and the door of the courtyard was always closed, but at this time it was only hidden, and the copper lock at the door was opened. Li Tianqi has already understood clearly these days, and the shopkeeper also asked them not to enter the backyard casually, saying that the backyard has not been inhabited by guests for a long time, and it has basically been abandoned for a long time. But at this time, the black shadow escaped into it, what is the reason? Inevitably, the whereabouts of his group were exposed, and he was also worried about whether the person was sent by the other party to secretly monitor them, so he didn't think too much about it, so he followed.
The backyard was uninhabited, there were no lights at all, everything seemed so dark and quiet.
Through the night, Li Tianqi didn't see any suspicious shadows in the backyard, but faintly heard some creepy calls, the sound was very weak, but it was endless, if you didn't pay attention to it, you would think it was the whirring wind.
"Anyone?" Li Tianqi asked tentatively, and he also wanted to use this sound to alarm the people hiding in the shadows. After the words fell, suddenly a figure flashed by, Li Tianqi was always paying attention, and subconsciously dodged and dodged, only to see that the black shadow stood in front of him in a little stunned, it turned out to be a middle-aged man. He didn't have any ill will towards Li Tianqi, he just wanted to cover Li Tianqi's mouth with his hand.
The middle-aged man didn't expect Li Tianqi to be able to dodge his swift attack, so he gestured to his lips and said softly: "Be quiet, are you a human or a demon?" ”
Li Tianqi said: "Of course it's human." ”
The middle-aged man said, "It's a little weird here. Follow me. ”
Li Tianqi saw that this person did not mean to attack him, and seemed to be investigating something, so he immediately nodded knowingly.
The middle-aged man held his breath and walked slowly in the courtyard, where rockeries and flowers and trees abounded, perhaps for entertaining dignitaries. Although Li Tianqi has lived here for a few days, because the door of the courtyard is locked, he has never walked to the backyard, and he feels a little strange at the moment.
The backyard seems to cover an area of one acre, but due to the unfamiliar terrain, the two of them wandered around for a while, although the inside is dilapidated, but it still shows the luxurious momentum of the year, but because of the long time and people smell some damp and moldy smell.
The creepy shouts still came to my ears from time to time, but the two of them wandered around the courtyard wall for a while, and it was not until they came to an iron fence that they could hear it more clearly.
Although it is separated by an iron fence, it looks like a deserted vegetable garden by moonlight, and the vegetable garden is overgrown with dense wild herbs and weeds, and many papaya trees.
The middle-aged man asked softly, "I guess you heard that strange voice too, right?" ”
Li Tianqi nodded and said, "Yes." ”
The middle-aged man said, "I'm going to go over and see, if you're afraid, you can go back now." ”
Li Tianqi smiled: "What's so scary. I'm going to go over and see what's going on. "The reason why he is still wandering in a foreign land at this moment is not because of the pine caterpillar monster in the first place? At this time, it always felt that those voices were a little strange, and he couldn't hold back halfway.
The middle-aged man nodded, "Okay." Then let's go. He stretched out his hand and pulled the arm-thick iron cable and pushed the iron fence open.
A gust of wind suddenly blew in front of them, blowing their clothes bulging.
The place was full of potholes, and some of the potholes were perfectly covered by wild vegetables and weeds, and the two of them couldn't walk quickly for a while.
The voice was getting stronger and stronger, and it was indeed the sound of many people crying, and it sounded very sad. It seemed to come from a thick field of weeds, and there was a faint sound of smashing stones.
What the hell is it? The two of them thought about this question together.
Pushing aside the weeds that blocked the view, a well was revealed, and the mouth of the well was pressed against a boulder, weighing thousands of pounds, and the sound came from the well.
The middle-aged man pushed his palms together, and pushed the boulder aside, crushing a field of weeds.
Although the moonlight is very bright, it is impossible to illuminate how deep the ancient well is.
The middle-aged man looked up at Li Tianqi and said, "The following should be the source of those voices, you ......"
Li Tianqi said: "Needless to say. Let's go down. ”
The middle-aged man smiled: "Your little brother is also a little interesting, I didn't expect that you are not a person with deep internal strength, but you also have such courage, which makes me admire." Okay, I'll go down first, oh yes, can you go down on your own? ”
Li Tianqi saw that the ancient well was not wide, and he could go down the cave wall of the ancient well with both hands, so he said, "Yes." ”
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Okay, let's go." Out of nowhere, he took out a burning stick, and with words in his mouth, he lit it to a miniature torch.
The fire suddenly flared, the two glanced at each other, and the middle-aged man laughed softly: "This little brother is very good-looking, I don't know what to do for a living?" ”
Li Tianqi said: "I'm just here to do some small business." I don't know how ...... brother Tai" Although he said this, his heart was extremely excited at this time, because he recognized that the middle-aged man in front of him was actually Mu Yanyuan who he met on the edge of the West Lake back then, yes, it was him, it was Mu Yanyuan of the Shushan Sword Sect, although it had been five years, Li Tianqi would not mistake him.
Mu Yanyuan didn't recognize Li Tianqi, after all, Li Tianqi was an adult at this time, not only his figure, but also his face had changed a lot.
Na Mu Yanyuan smiled: "Oh, I am a Jianghu person who travels south and north and wanders everywhere. Okay, little brother, it might be dangerous to go down, maybe I won't be able to take care of you, you have to think about it. ”
Li Tianqi said: "Please rest assured, although I am in business, I have also learned some Maoshan Taoism, and I will take care of myself." ”
"Oh, I see, no wonder the little brother dared to follow. Well, we'll go down now. Mu Yanyuan said that he was about to go down.
Li Tianqi stopped and said, "Wait." He picked up a pebble and threw it down the well.
The two listened for a while, and after a while there was a crackling sound, apparently there was no water in it. It's a dry well.
Mu Yanyuan nodded in appreciation, and then jumped down the ancient well, and when his body fell, he slid his feet a little against the wall of the well and slid down gently.
Seeing this, Li Tianqi also hurriedly followed him down the well, although his internal strength was meager now, it was enough for him to slide down easily.
The ancient well is very deep, about 20 zhang. Sure enough, the floor was dry, there was no water stain at all, and it looked unusually dry.
There was still a distance of one zhang from the bottom of the well, and Mu Yanyuan had already let go of his feet and jumped down.
"Huh?" Mu Yanyuan looked at it from afar, as if he had noticed something unusual, and screamed out loud, but because he tried his best to suppress it, his voice was extremely awkward.
Li Tianqi quickly jumped down, looked at it, and gasped.
Although they were standing at the bottom of the well, it was more like they were standing on the top of a cliff, and more than half of the walls of the cave around the bottom of the well had already collapsed inward, revealing a black opening, like a giant's mouth.
And there are many light blue points of light inside, and through those points of light, you can see that there is a huge cave inside, which is dozens of zhang deep.
As the boulder holding down the wellhead had been removed, both of them felt the gloomy air flow in the cave slowly passing by, but they did not hear those miserable sounds again.
Mu Yanyuan held the torch and reached into it to probe, and found that an arm-thick iron cable was tightly connected to the bottom of the well, and the iron cable extended downwards and submerged into the huge grotto.
He bowed his head slightly, took two steps inside, and Li Tianqi also followed, at this time both of them seemed to be standing on the top of the mountain, overlooking those pale blue points of light dozens of feet down.
The points of light were still moving slowly, and it was impossible to see what they were.
"Can Brother Tai take me down?" Obviously, Li Tianqi still felt a little lacking in confidence to go down to such a deep underground with the help of this arm-thick iron cable.
Mu Yanyuan said: "I'm still worried that you're afraid." Good. I'll take you down. You're holding a torch. After saying that, he handed the torch to Li Tianqi, and with his right hand, he lifted Li Tianqi up, and slid straight down the iron cable.
The speed of the two was strange, and it didn't take long for them to slip down to the bottom of the huge grotto.
At that moment, all the faint blue light was gone, leaving only torches illuminating a few feet away.
There were scattered rocks everywhere, and there were lots of rotten fabrics, planks, and the like.
"What the hell is this place? It's strange that there is such a thing under such depth. Mu Yanyuan muttered.
Li Tianqi followed beside him, and secretly pinched his sweat, and his intuition told him that this place was not naturally formed, and there must be some unknown secrets hidden.
"Bang dang!" The sound of a soldier falling to the ground pierced the silence of the cave, and the echo did not dissipate for a long time.
"There are weapons?" Mu Yanyuan followed the sound and found the weapon that fell not far away, it was a bow and crossbow!
"This is Nanzhao's bow and crossbow. It's powerful. "Li Tianqi has seen such a thing, and that was when he was in Nanzhao. Why is there such an object in the Tang Dynasty?
"Oh? You know? Mu Yanyuan asked.
"Hmm." Li Tianqi nodded, but of course he was taken aback when he looked at the huge rock that the crossbow had fallen.
This is not a boulder at all, but the corpse of a giant elephant! It was covered with dust and disguised its original appearance, but if you look closely, you can still see it for what it is.
"Nanzhao Giant Elephant!" Li Tianqi said softly again.
"No way, how can there be such a thing here?" Mu Yanyuan couldn't believe it, but he couldn't believe it.
A strange laugh suddenly sounded out of nowhere......
