The cave was pitch black, I didn't know how deep it was, and the sunlight outside could only shine a few feet away.

There are countless rocks piled up at the entrance of the cave, some of which are probably old rock landslides, and more of them are deliberately covered up when the cave entrance was made.

The entrance to the cave is about two zhang high and three zhang wide, and the largest four-horse carriage in the army can easily pass through guò. Near the entrance of the cave, you can see that the ground is paved with stone slabs, but most of them have been shattered, I don't know if it is because of age or because of some heavy objects that have passed by.

Xia Shaoyuan held a torch and stood beside Chu Feifei, the flames flickering in the mountain wind.

Wu Yi, who was behind, stepped forward, took the torch, and handed the reins to Xia Shaoyuan: "I'll go explore the road reads();." ”

As he spoke, Wu Yi held a torch and walked along the dark cave.

Chu Feifei stood at the entrance of the cave, frowning and looking at the faint light source in Wu Yi's hand, which was getting farther and farther away in this cave, and then suddenly disappeared.

Chu Feifei was taken aback, and Xia Shaoyuan hurriedly said, "Don't worry, this cave is probably not straight." General Wu just hit a bend. ”

At this time, Zhang Shouyi and Du Ziqi also led their horses into the cave, Zhang Shouyi looked at the surrounding cave walls and said: "Legend has it that during the battle for survival, the Great Wu clan suddenly disappeared overnight, and it turned out that they had taken this secret road. ”

Chu Feifei glanced at the giant ape standing outside the cave, and the scarlet ape eyes looked at them silently, as if there was some remembrance and reluctance.

"The big monkey said, go all the way here, and you will reach Jinzhou, but" Chu Feifei said hesitantly: "Zhang Shouyi, do you really think that the Wu people can really dig such a long tunnel?" That's a distance of hundreds of miles. Chu Feifei felt that with the level of ancient science and technology, digging for such a long time. It would definitely take many years for such a large mountain tunnel.

Zhang Shouyi smiled: "The Wu people have many means, who sues you, they must have dug it themselves?" ”

Didn't you dig it yourself, could it be that the Wu people actually used the relics of their predecessors? In this way, those who dug the predecessor of this tunnel are also rebellious.

Chu Feifei's conjecture about this tunnel was interrupted by Zhang Shouyi's movements.

I saw this guy turn around at the entrance of the cave, suddenly lifted his robe, raised his leg and kicked violently at a place on the mountain wall.

There was a muffled thud. Zhang Shouyi held his feet and his face was wrinkled. Silently oops.

Chu Feifei looked at the neuropathic eyes: "What are you doing?" ”

Zhang Shouyi ignored Chu Feifei, changed places, and kicked him again. Of course, not surprisingly, his feet didn't please him.

Chu Feifei decided to ignore this "madman".

Looking at Du Ziqi Du Imperial Doctor, who was originally standing behind her, she didn't know when she got to the front of the mountain wall and groped with her hands. Sometimes turn your head sideways, against the light. Take a closer look.

"What are these two people doing?" Chu Fei said suspiciously.

Xia Shaoyuan smiled slightly: "Let's just wait." ”

Zhang Shouyi even chose a few kicks, but it had no effect, and he couldn't help but be a little deflated, and he was panting with his waist crossed: "Hell." ”

Du Ziqi said coldly on the other side: "I guess this is what you are looking for?" ”

Zhang Shouyi turned his head to look. In between, Du Ziqi was using his fingers to peel off the gravel and dry moss on the mountain wall, revealing a stone trough inside. There was an obvious stone wrench on the stone trough, and Du Ziqi held the wrench. looked at Zhang Shouyi and smiled slightly, and then pulled hard.

Inside the mountain wall, there was a rusty hinge-like roar.

Zhang Shouyi rolled his eyes: "The blind cat meets the dead mouse!" ”

A black liquid gushed out from the side wall of the stone trough and spread along it

Du Ziqi sniffed, revealing a clear expression, took out a fire fold from his arms and put it on the black liquid, coaxed, the flames jumped up half a foot high, Du Ziqi hurriedly dodged, so that he was not hurt by the flames.

Seeing Du Ziqi's wolf appearance, Zhang Shouyi laughed on the side.

Du Ziqi snorted coldly, put away the fire, took a few steps back, and quietly saw that the flames spread forward along the stone trough.

The stone trough, which had been hidden by the traces of time due to the weathering of the rocks and the vegetation of the mountains, made a crackling sound with the help of the flames. The gravel and moss covered on it burned and fell one after another, and only a foot-wide belt of fire was seen, which quickly stretched along the cave wall, and the entire passage was also brightened.

"You already knew there was a lighting mechanism here?" Chu Feifei looked at Zhang Shouyi suspiciously: "Don't tell me, you read it from a book." ”

Zhang Shouyi said innocently: "It's really from the book, the ancient book of the family, and there is nothing outside." ”

"Your family heirloom, even the fire trough is on the left or the right, is it wrong?" Chu Feifei sneered lightly.

Zhang Shouyi was speechless, if he wanted to talk about ancient books, although he was the young master of the Holy Domain, he was not the real ruler after all, and he could only read a small part of the cheats in this scripture pavilion.

In fact, most of these secrets of the Wu clan were told to him by the third elder as a story. Even these three elders are unreliable, obviously the fire trough is on the left, how can he say that it is on the right? caused him to make a fool of himself in front of Feifei.

Wait, are the three elders talking about the left or the right? Could it be that you remembered it wrong?

Just as Zhang Shouyi was thinking about it, Wu Yi had already walked back quickly, and shouted from afar: "This is good, the flames in this fire trough are really big enough, and the torches are not needed, when they suddenly ignited just now, it really scared me a lot." ”

Chu Feifei smiled.

Wu Yi walked closer, put out the torch, inserted it back into the saddle, and said to Chu Feifei: "The air in this cave has no peculiar smell, there has always been a breeze inside, I think there must be an outlet connected to the outside." From here, straight ahead, there is no fork in the road, and I think this path is feasible. ”

Chu Feifei nodded, and at this time, the giant ape roared outside the cave, which meant urging Chu Feifei to move.

Chu Feifei looked back at the giant ape, waved his hand silently, and the giant ape also nodded his huge head very humanely.

So Wu Yi took the lead, Chu Feifei was second, and Du Ziqi was behind, and the group walked towards the depths of the cave.

The giant ape squatted outside, its scarlet eyes deep as it watched the pedestrian disappear from sight completely, before turning around and roaring at the forest.

In the depths of the dense forest, the trees shook violently, and a black animal, walking out of the forest with graceful steps, was like a leopard, but had a cat-like cat face, a pair of green eyes and a strange grin, as if mocking silently.

The great ape lowered its body vigilantly, as if it was very jealous of the strange creature.

In fact, according to the body size, one of the arms of this giant ape is thicker than the body of the black creature, but the giant ape obviously did not underestimate the creature, and as the creature moved, the giant ape also moved its body carefully, always keeping itself in front of it, facing the creature.

The elegant black creature, ignoring the giant ape, walked in front of it, stood at the mouth of the cave and looked around, grinned, jumped lightly, and when it landed, it had become a black cat with four short legs, and hurried to the place with four short legs.

Only then did the giant ape snort as if relieved, and rushed into the dense forest on all fours, and went to the gate. (To be continued.) )
