When we encounter a strange and confined space, curiosity defeats our fears. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Ryan explained to the companions, "It's all Miss Water reversing black and white and framing me. The fire in the Shui Clan Stockade was set by the Chaojiang Dragon gang, and they robbed a handful when they fled, and my companion deliberately left the lives of the Shui people in the Shui Clan when they attacked the Shui Tribe's village. After they drove away the Gangjianglong gang and rescued me, we lived in the Shui clan village for a while, and I also specially ordered my colleagues from the Emei faction to treat the clansmen in the village! ”

Kuang Anran said: "I believe that the leader of the alliance is not the kind of person who kills people and sets fires, is it Miss Yu Xiao who led the people to save you?" ”

Ryan nodded in response and said, "She is my guide, my master, and my friend!" ”

They talked for a long time, and when the sun was about to set, Feng Chendong woke up, and the big yellow dog also returned, barking at him.

Feng Chendong said: "Rhubarb must have seen something, let's quickly pack up our things and follow it!" ”

With the big yellow dog leading the way, they climbed up the hill and saw a hole in the ground outside a wood, but the entrance of the hole was obscured by lush weeds, and it was impossible to see it if you didn't look closely.

The crowd was overjoyed, and immediately lit a ball of fire and threw it in. A puff of smoke wafted out of the cave, and everyone coughed.

When the dust settled, Feng Chendong said: "Why don't you let Rhubarb drill in to explore the situation?" ”

Kuang Anran said: "No, let my lightning marten go in and check it!" With that, he released a small mink and quickly burrowed into the burrow.

Li En said: "I really should let Shi Cangwu come, he has entered the ancient tomb of King Yan and has experience!" ”

Ping Jizong said: "Phoenix Ancient City is not an ancient tomb, the two are different!" ”

The lightning marten quickly came out of the hole in the ground, and then rolled on the ground, Kwong Anran hurriedly grabbed it and put it in the palm of his hand, but it was still rolling, and his whole body trembled, and after a while, it returned to normal.

Feng Chendong asked, "Alliance leader, what are your plans?" Shall we go down? ”

Ryan shook his head and said, "Don't worry, explore the situation first, and let your big yellow dog in!" ”

As soon as the morning whistled, the big yellow dog immediately drilled into the hole, and after a stick of incense, the big yellow dog came out of the bottom pit, and then it was completely dark, and everyone lit torches to illuminate it.

The big yellow dog came out with a dead man's bone, Kuang Anran was startled, and Feng Chendong said: "You stupid dog, what are you doing with the bone!" ”

Yi Sanxi picked up the bones and carefully examined them before the torch: "This is a human calf bone, there are no traces of external injuries, and there are no signs of poisoning, and it can be seen that there is no poisonous gas in the cave." ”

Ryan said, "We'll camp here today, and we'll call someone to enter the cave tomorrow!" ”

Sleeping next to a hole in the ground, Kuang Anran was a little scared, and he didn't dare to go alone at night, but he was embarrassed to ask these men to accompany him, Feng Chendong saw her situation, and said: "Take my big yellow dog with you, don't go too far, and don't go into the woods!" ”

Kuang Anran was a little embarrassed, but still looked at Feng Chendong with a grateful look, and then left the camp.

Yi Sanxi jokingly said to Feng Chendong: "You said that there won't be any fierce beasts or lonely ghosts coming out of this cave, right?" ”

Feng Chendong immediately denied: "No, otherwise Rhubarb will react when he goes in, I never believe that there are any ghosts in this world!" ”

Ping Jizong said: "I don't believe that there are ghosts and gods in this world!" ”

Yi Sanxi asked: "You two are both Buddhist disciples, but you don't believe that there are ghosts and gods in this world, so there is no Buddha anymore?" ”

Ping Jizong said: "The Buddha was originally just a person, but his thoughts and opinions explained the world, and he became a Buddha. ”

Feng Chendong added: "Buddha is just a kind of spiritual sustenance and belief, and if you believe in Buddha, your life will not feel ethereal!" ”

Kwong Anran came back with the big yellow dog and said to everyone: "I saw many fireflies floating out of the hole in the ground. But these fireflies can't catch them. ”

Feng Chendong said: "In the past, there were a lot of ghost fires here at night, and this ghost fire would follow people!" ”

Kuang Anran felt frightened when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Don't say it, it's too unlucky to talk about ghosts in the middle of the night!" ”

These three normal men plus a dog were about to take turns to be on duty at night, but Yi Sanxi immediately stopped: "It's not like this, the alliance leader has a special identity, and his martial arts are not high, so he can't be on duty at night, the two of us take turns to be on duty at night, and the alliance leader and the Ping Xia Shi take turns chatting with us, so that we won't fall asleep when we are on duty alone!" ”

They talked a lot, in the first half of the night, Feng Chendong chatted with Lien, and in the second half of the night, Yi Sanxi chatted with Ping Jizong, and there was nothing to do all night, and naturally there were no beasts or ghosts coming out of the cave.

Kuang Anran prepared breakfast for everyone, and after eating, Li En said: "Your senior brother and sister will return to the town first, please Xiao Biye, Shi Cangwu and Jin Guoshi to meet us, and you two will stay in the town to assist the divine doctor in treating the fellow sect of the Xiuzhen sect." ”

Kuang Anran immediately reluctantly said: "Why, we haven't entered the cave yet!" ”

Rien said: "The situation in the cave is unknown, I can't take your brother and sister down for an adventure, you go back and summon the news quickly!" ”

Yi Sanxi persuaded his sister to return to the town with him.

Rien said to Feng Chendong: "Let's widen the entrance of the cave today, and when Jin Guoshi and my guards arrive, let's go in and investigate." ”

The two men removed the shovel and pickaxe from the elephant's back and began to dig into the ground.

The soil at the entrance to the cave was loose and easy to dig, but they soon dug up the rocks, which at first glance were marble blocks, apparently polished by hand.

Ping Jizong hurriedly came over to check and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the city brick on the city wall, and the Phoenix Ancient City is at our feet!" ”

Now the entrance had been enlarged, but it could only allow a calf to pass through, and the entrance to the cave was only as wide as a large millstone, and it was pitch black inside.

Ping Jizong continued to observe, and Rien wanted to go in to check, but he stopped him, and said, "No, this is not the city wall, but the drainage outlet of the Phoenix Ancient City." ”

Feng Chendong immediately questioned: "How can there be such a large drainage hole?" And in which city has a horizontal drain? Can the water flow out in this way? ”

Ping Jizong continued to observe the entrance of the cave and came to the conclusion: "This is the drainage outlet of the Phoenix Ancient City, originally the entrance of the cave was opened upright and vertically, but it may be that the city collapsed, and this opening is inclined and gradually becomes a horizontal plane. ”

Li En and Feng Chendong continued to dig along the drainage hole, and sure enough, they dug up a large piece of stone bricks, and Ping Jizong said: "Phoenix Ancient City is right in front of our feet. ”

Feng Chendong asked: "But in front of us is this mountain forest?" ”

"The ancient city of Phoenix is under this mountain forest, maybe there was an avalanche or an earthquake, Phoenix fell into the ground overnight, and was quickly buried by snow or rocks, and the mountain wind swept the dust and completely covered the ancient city, leaving only a drainage hole to expose the surface."

Ryan immediately said, "It should be a torrential rain or snow that poured into the ancient city through the drainage holes. ”
