Chapter 267: South Snake Cave 2
The frightened big bull glanced at the dying man, dressed strangely, but he was no stranger, "It's really a Sang countryman?" ”
"I didn't lie to you!" Hua Jingwan patted Da Niu's shoulder proudly, and crossed the Da Niu with the wind, "Lead the way, be alert, remember to hide behind me." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Recalling the fateful arrow before, Da Niu still had palpitations, touched his head, smiled innocently, but did not lag behind, and ran past Hua Jingwan.
Da Niu walked very fast and energetically this time, and it didn't take long for the group to come to a cave with a large entrance.
Liu Ping lit the torch, and the majestic fire lit up this side, and he saw that this was a general hole with a large mouth and not a deep one. Below the cave is a shallow pond with fallen leaves floating on the surface of the water, and in the center of the pond there is a stone path that allows a person to cross the rocks to the depths of the cave.
Da Niu wiped the juice beads on his forehead, pointed to a round hole about a meter long and wide in front of him, and said, "The South Snake Cave is really a hole in a hole. The outer cave is like this, and I don't know how big the inner cave is, but I heard that there is a deep pool inside, which is very gloomy. ”
Without further ado, Hua Jingwan took the lead in jumping to the narrow stone path.
When he came to the entrance of the cave, the sword was unsheathed, and he did not dare to rush in, so he picked up a small pebble and hit it into the cave.
Two 'whooshs', followed by a dead silence.
The two sounds just now were the faint sound of arrows, so it can be seen that the ghost is still hiding in the cave.
After a try, knowing that the ghost was hiding in the cave, Hua Jingwan leaned sideways against the cold cave wall, motionless. Subsequently, Song Jing and Liu Ping led ten people to arrive.
There are still more than ten people standing outside the cave, and they are like Hua Jingwan, making a warning.
The entrance to the cave is narrow, and it is pitch black inside, and you can clearly feel the wind inside outside the cave entrance, and if you go in like this, you will undoubtedly be attacked by them hiding inside. Thinking that he was not sure that the ghost would disappear, he pondered for a while and beckoned to Liu Ping.
There was a whisper in Liu Ping's ear, and Liu Ping took the torch and turned back to the stone road.
Liu Ping came to the outer cave entrance, inserted the torch between the two stones, and let the soldiers at the outer cave mouth scatter and hide, and then left with the big bull and ten people.
There was a dead silence in the cave, like a dusty dead hole, and there were ghosts waiting for people to enter; Outside the cave, in case there are ghost people suddenly out of the cave, they are also silent, the torches at the entrance of the cave suddenly pull left and right in the cold wind, the atmosphere here is very strange.
Half an hour later, Liu Ping and others arrived with a large hug of firewood, and Hua Jingwan commanded them to quickly pile up firewood at the entrance of the cave.
The fire that sealed the entrance of the cave was lit, and the thick smoke poured into the cave, and she asked Liu Ping to pick some branches that had not dried up and put them on the fire.
As a result, the smoke poured into the cave became even thicker.
Da Niu looked at Hua Jingwan, "If this hole is very big, it may not be able to stun them." ”
Da Niu's is all reasonable, but the people of the ghost gate should still have eight people left with the ghost without a trace, except for the ghost without a trace, they are all first-class good hands, except for Song Jing, they are all ordinary soldiers, and the strong advance will only cause unnecessary sacrifices, and if it is not good, they will have to be escaped by the ghost without a trace.
Ghost Without a Trace is a big man, a powerful person, and a despicable and shameless person, and he must not be allowed to escape,
The hand unconsciously touched the wound, there, there was still a faint pain, remembering the dagger that the ghost stabbed without a trace, Hua Jingwan beckoned to Yao Ran to run, Yao ran closer, she lowered her voice and said: "You go to the Jicheng General's Mansion immediately, and let Lord Wu transfer a thousand troops to come." ”
A thousand people, no matter how powerful the ghost is, the heavy soldiers guarding the entrance of this cave have to trap the ghost without a trace in the cave.
Yao ran and arched his hands and ran towards the stone road.
Hua Jing looked at Yao Ran's vigorous back, deliberately raised her voice and smiled: "It's okay, it's much colder in this cave than outside, there is no fire, they can't last long, besides, in order not to expose their whereabouts, they may not have dry food." We're standing guard outside this cave. ”
Unconsciously, half an hour passed, Xu was bored, Liu Ping said: "Big bull! This cave is called the South Snake Cave, is there any legend? ”
Da Niu looked at the firelight, his brows twisted into a rope, as if he was caught in a memory, and his expression made the atmosphere here even more depressing and weird.
"Listen to the old generation, far away, when there is a giant snake living in this hole, the giant snake is surrounded by blue light, relying on the blessing of this giant snake, this area has always been smooth and rainy, later, this giant snake in a thundering fire, wind and rain back in the night to get the way to rise, in order to commemorate the giant snake that blesses the people of this side, this hole is naturally named the South Snake Cave.
The cave once lived in the gods, and the nearby villagers revered the cave from generation to generation, walked around the cave, and over time, formed a habit and a tacit rule. Not long ago, someone suddenly died at the foot of the mountain, which alarmed the government, and the government came to investigate the case, saying that the person was drowned, so they tracked down the hole.
The villain was also among the curious people at the time, and the villain recognized that the dead person was Wang Laosan from the neighboring village. Wang Laosan usually likes to work hard and likes to wander around the mountains in his spare time, digging up some strange mountain goods to sell in the city. Later, the villain could hear that the messenger of the inner cave came out and said that there was a deep pool in the cave, and Wang Laosan had died in the deep pool in the cave, and then he was dragged to the foot of the mountain. ”
Hua Jingwan, who was also listening, said: "Did you find the murderer?" ”
Da Niu gathered his head, looked at Hua Jingwan and said, "It doesn't seem to be." And the case is not being pursued. ”
Wang Laosan will not die in the South Snake Cave for no reason, he must have broken into the South Snake Cave regardless of the silent rules and saw something, frowning, Hua Jingwan said: "How long has the murder happened?" ”
Under the light of the fire, Da Niu Lahuang's face flickered brightly and darkly, and he thought about it for a while, "It was only about a month ago!" ”
A month ago, at that time, Bacheng had been broken, and now the ghost was hiding in the South Snake Cave without a trace, could it be that Wang Laosan was killed by the people of the ghost gate? "At that time, did anyone from the ghost gate appear in Jicheng and Bacheng?"
The big cow added a wet tree to the fire, "Sang and China are separated by the sea, and the two countries were also in a hostile situation a few decades ago. At that time, the fishermen of Sang often came by boat to kill people and loot things in the coastal villages, and the relations between the two countries were very tense for a while. It is only in recent years that the relationship has eased. In the past six months, the relationship has been even better, so there are more people from Sang who come here, and even more people who come to Sang after the city of Ba is broken. Among them are people dressed like arrow-shooting villains. ”
"Do you see people dressed like that in the mountains?"
"I've seen it in the neighborhood, but I haven't seen it in the mountains near the South Snake Cave."
Hua Jingwan gasped, in this way, there are no three hundred taels of silver here, and there is a mystery in this South Snake Cave, "Big Cow!" If I guess it is not wrong, Wang Laosan broke into the South Snake Cave in spite of the silent rules and saw something, and was killed by the people of the ghost gate in the cave. ”
Da Niu shuddered, "Impossible, right? ”
"When you get in*into the cave, you'll know if my guess is right or not." Hua Jingwan smiled faintly, and her eyes locked on the hole blocked by the fire. (To be continued.) )
