33: Secret Tunnel

"The man behind the scenes hidden in the body of the Patronus will definitely not go far. ”

Li Yanzhou said in a condensed voice: "The time is too short. He didn't have that chance. So if my guess is correct, there must be some secret tunnel hidden inside this temple. The mastermind behind the scenes escaped through the tunnels. ”

Cheng Li nodded and said, "I think so too." But...... Where the hell is the tunnel?"

Li Yanzhou groaned: "Most of them are in this hall. Let's look around, it should be easy to find. ”

Cheng Li said thoughtfully: "If it's in this hall...... Then don't look for it. ”

Li Yanzhou was stunned and asked, "You don't need to look for it, what do you mean?"

Cheng Li smiled: "That's what it means." ”

As soon as the words fell, Cheng Li's right hand shook slightly, and he had already taken out the "torrent" again. The muzzle of the gun was aimed at the ground, not to mention that it was immediately a shot.

"Boom~"

In the midst of the lightning and fire, the blazing silver light erupted, like a tsunami landslide, flooding the entire temple. Within the reach of the silver light, every grass, tree, brick and stone, was completely destroyed.

"Crazy!Brother Cheng, what the hell are you doing? You can't really be crazy, right?"

More than ten zhang away from the ground, Li Yanzhou stepped on the void, and his face was slightly pale. Next to the sideburns, a drop of cold sweat even rarerly flowed. The demeanor that has always been calm as a mountain has disappeared at this moment. He grabbed Cheng Li by the collar and shouted, "I didn't even say hello before I made a move." You're not going to kill yourself, are you?"

Cheng Li shook his head and said, "Brother Li, you think too much. Why do I want to kill myself? It's just the most straightforward way to find out the hidden tunnels in the temple. ”

Li Yanzhou was stunned and said, "Just to find out the tunnel?"

Cheng Li said as a matter of course: "That's right." If there is a tunnel in the temple, it must be very hidden. If you are not familiar with the inside story, most of them will not find any clues. Even if it is found, there must be a hidden mechanism in this tunnel. Who knows how to open it? Don't say we don't understand that. Even if you know how to crack it, you don't have that much free time. It's better to have a brute-force crack, clean and neat, and it's all over the place. ”

Li Yanzhou said a little angrily: "So it's so simple? Even if you find the tunnel now, what if the tunnel is blown up and blocked because of your recklessness?"

Cheng Li said indifferently: "If it collapses, it will collapse." It's blocked, it's not a big deal. At most, this clue is broken, so let's find another clue. ”

Li Yanzhou couldn't laugh or cry. Finally, I had no choice but to sigh: "Okay, okay, your crooked reasoning makes sense." But not as an example. Again, my heart, big brother, can't stand it. ”

Cheng Li laughed: "Li Yanzhou, who swallows the world, has such a small guts? ”

Li Yanzhou snorted coldly: "No matter how bold you are, I can't bear your surprise." Hmph, put that thing away. Otherwise, don't blame the big brother for turning his face. ”

Cheng Li smiled again and put away the "torrent" casually. Take a step to the side instead. Black qi surged and condensed into a mirror-like circle, steadily supporting his body. He turned his head and looked Li Yanzhou up and down. I saw him with his arms crossed in front of his chest, and his whole body was frozen in the air. couldn't help but praise: "I can actually step on the void and control the void." Brother Li, what a powerful light skill. ”

Li Yanzhou shrugged: "This is one of the ways in which my Tiangang Qiankun has changed: driving the clouds and controlling the wind is unique." Seriously, it doesn't really do much use other than scaring people. Compared with Brother Cheng, you are far behind. ”

Cheng Li said: "The master is over-recruited, the soldiers are in danger, and there is a line between life and death." Able to surprise and frighten. Often, the chances of success have already been laid. Brother Li said that it was useless to only scare people, and he was too modest. ”

Li Yanzhou smiled: "You and my brother, why do you still praise each other like this." Come on, go down. "Withdrawing his strength, his body fell to the ground like a straight javelin. Cheng Lize's mind moved, and he launched the "Underground Tribulation" again, condensed one dark round mirror after another, paved a staircase to the ground out of thin air, and went down the stairs.

In a moment, Cheng Li took the last step of the stairs and stepped on the ground again. Li Yanzhou really punched the ground at the moment before landing. With the help of the reaction force of the fist, the force of the fall was counteracted, and the landing was also safe.

The two stood side by side, looking around. If it is said that Cheng Li used "torrent" for the first time before, the result was that the temple hall was half destroyed. Then the second time you use "torrent", the result is that the entire hall has disappeared. It's as if the temple is a picture painted on white paper. With a slight brush of the eraser, it no longer exists.

But seriously, it's not like there's really nothing. At the very least, there is a huge crater in the ground. The entrance of the cave is about two zhang in circumference, and the inside is swarthy, and you can't see the bottom at a glance. An eerie cold wind blew from within. Cheng Li and Li Yanzhou, who were standing at the edge of the cave entrance, felt like they were in the middle of winter, freezing cold.

The two looked at each other and nodded slowly. Cheng Li said: "Sure enough, there is an authenticity. ”

Li Yanzhou said: "Look at this wind, most of the things below are different. ”

Cheng Li said: "It doesn't matter what he does, go in and explore, and everything will be clear." ”

Li Yanzhou said: "Okay." Let's go. Without further ado, he jumped into the hole. Cheng Li also followed from behind.

It was pitch black in the tunnel, and I couldn't see my fingers. But Li Yanzhou, of course, has already prepared for this kind of ** lake. He took out a fire fold from the leather bag around his waist and lit it, the soft light of the fire, although it could only illuminate a small area around the two of them. But for the two, it's definitely enough.

Looking up left and right, I saw that the four walls of the tunnel were very smooth and flat, and it was obviously artificially modified. Li Yanzhou couldn't help but sigh: "To dig such a tunnel, it can be described as a huge project. The amount of manpower, material resources, and time required is definitely a staggering figure. Even if it is presided over by the Golden Dragon Gang, I am afraid it will be very difficult. I didn't expect that such a small gang as Yongzhou Pai Jiao could do it. ”

Cheng Li looked around and asked, "Brother Li, do you think this tunnel was excavated in Yongzhou?"

Li Yanzhou said: "That half-human, half-snake guardian saint was picked up by Yongzhou Paijiao. This temple was also built by Paijiao. Then this tunnel, of course, was also dug by them. ”

Cheng Li groaned: "I don't think so. But let's ignore these minutiae for now. Well...... It's a long tunnel. Let's hurry up. ”

Li Yanzhou nodded, accelerated with Cheng Li, and went down diagonally along the tunnel. After walking for about a cup of tea, my eyes suddenly lit up, and the surrounding environment suddenly opened up. It was no longer a dark and narrow tunnel, but an extremely wide and vast underground cavern.

Around the cave, there are strangely shaped stalagmites and stalactites everywhere. Under the light of the fire fold, it looks strange. Anyone who comes here can tell at a glance. This cave is purely natural, and it was not excavated by man.

But when I looked far away, I could see that the walls were densely packed with countless holes. Behind each hole, there must be a tunnel. I don't know where they lead.

Cheng Li looked around and said in a condensed voice: "I didn't expect that there was such a big cave under Yongzhou City. It seems that the leader of the Yongzhou Pai Sect discovered this cave by accident, and then used it to build a secret passage, so that the guardian spirit could appear in any corner of Yongzhou City at will, creating the illusion that the guardian spirit was omniscient and ubiquitous. In order to deceive the common people. ”

Li Yanzhou bowed his jaw and said, "Probably so." However, the cave is too big. There are too many tunnels. With the two of us alone, it's hard to find the person behind the scenes. It seems that the only way to go back to the ground is to think about it in the long run. ”

Cheng Li sighed: "It seems that this is the only way." ”

The two had no choice but to turn and leave. After a short time, it was back on the ground. As soon as I walked out of the tunnel, my eyes suddenly lit up. I saw that the disciples of the Golden Dragon Gang lit dozens of torches, shining brightly all around. In the firelight, the helper's wife, Song Shirong and Xiaoqing, as well as the Bodhisattva Man, and other three women, were waiting here.

Suddenly, seeing Cheng Li and Li Yanzhou walking up, the three women immediately greeted them with concern. Song Shirong held her husband's hands and said softly, "Big brother, you're not injured, are you?"

Li Yanzhou held his wife's hand and said with a smile: "I want you to worry." Don't worry. I'm fine. With me and Brother Cheng here, what else in the world can hurt us?"

Xiaoqing was a little impatient, and asked Cheng Li, "Little brother, what's down there?"

Cheng Li said the matter briefly. "From this point of view, if you don't have someone who knows the inside story to lead, it's hard to find the right path." ”

The Bodhisattva sighed, "It would be nice if the third junior brother was here. His tracking skills are second to none. No matter how subtle the clues, he will definitely be able to find them. ”

Li Yanzhou waved his hand disapprovingly, and said, "Far water doesn't save near fire." What's the use of saying this now?"

Song Shirong sighed: "I can't imagine that even the Great Heavenly King has taken refuge in the imperial court and wants to trouble our Golden Dragon Gang." Now, things are even more complicated. Big brother, you have to be careful. After ten years of hard training, I wish the strength of the Great Heavenly King is definitely not what it used to be. If you are left alone, I am afraid that it will be dangerous. ”

Li Yanzhou sneered: "What kind of water dragon king? In my opinion, it's just a local chicken and a dog." Hey, if he's still a little bloody, he should rush up and fight with me. But he actually shrunk.

It can be seen that in the past ten years, Zhu Shunshui has not made much progress. At most, the palm technique is more proficient, and the internal cultivation is deeper. If I really fight, I can defeat him in fifty moves. Water Dragon King?haha~ I think he is the Water Snake King. ”

"Snake? Ahhh

Xiao Qing's eyes lit up, and he paused and said, "Snake! As long as there are snakes, no matter how many tunnels there are in this underground cavern, I can still find the most correct way to live! No matter how many secret scrutiny the Patronus Spirit has, he will never escape my good friends!"
