Chapter 68: Into the Cave

There was a loud noise, and the guards standing in front of the cave immediately escorted Mrs. Xie and Xie Rouhui backwards.

Fortunately, only some gravel fell, and Lao Haimu climbed out of the cave with a few miners.

"How?" Xie Rouhui stepped forward and asked.

Old Haimu shook his head.

"It's a dead hole, there's no road." "Nothing," he said. ”

"How is this happening?" Xie Rouhui couldn't hide her anxiety, "There must be no more here, let's go and blow up other places." ”

"I haven't finished rummaging yet, let's look for any holes." Mrs. Xie said.

"What else are you looking for, mother, how much work has been delayed." Xie Rouhui said.

Mrs. Xie looked up at the sky, it was already the second half of the night, and it would be dawn in two hours.

There is too much movement in the daytime.

Just as he was hesitating, a shout was heard.

"There's another hole here."

Hearing this, Lao Haimu was busy looking at Mrs. Xie.

"Let's take another look." Mrs. Xie said.

"This is the last one, and if you don't have it, you'll blow it up again." Xie Rouhui said.

Before Dr. Xie could speak, a guard hurried over.

"Big lady, Miss Rouqing is here." He said.

Xie Rouqing?

She also arrived at Yushan during the day today, presumably it was attracted by passive quiet.

"Let her go." Mrs. Xie said, "I said that no one is allowed to approach here. ”

The guards were about to leave, but Xie Rouhui stopped him.

"Nope." She said, "Bring her here." ”

The guard was stunned. couldn't help but look at Mrs. Xie.

"What for?" Mrs. Xie frowned and asked.

Xie Rouhui looked at the hellish mountain in front of her.

"In order to take the things of our ancestors and offend the mountain gods, why don't you have to sacrifice to express your apologies." She said.

Old Haimu couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

This is to kill that Miss Rouqing.

Mrs. Xie was silent and did not speak.

"Don't go yet." Xie Rouhui looked at the guard who was still stunned and shouted.

The guard glanced at Mrs. Xie again, and in response, he turned around and walked away.

"Are you still stunned?" Xie Rouhui looked at Lao Haimu again and said.

Old Haimu hurriedly lowered his head and turned towards the newly discovered cave entrance, although there were blazing torches shining, walking among the gravel mountains, he still stumbled several times and almost slipped to it.

He had already explored the cave three times in a row, and his physical strength was close to the limit for an old man.

I hope I can find it this time, I don't need to open the mountain again, I just heard about it, but I really saw the opening of the mountain. He was still shocked.

It's horrible.

The place that was blown up was completely destroyed. You can't mine and build wells, not only here, but the vibration caused by this huge power must have affected many places.

Especially the nearby mines, the mines that are still in operation.

It must be dangerous in the mines. In two hours, the miners of Yushan should go to work early.

"You said you were going to dig up all the scriptures first. I'd better wait for the mountain god to familiarize myself with me. ”

An old woman's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

He couldn't help but stop and look around. There were only blazing torches, devastation, and struggle to move away from the rocks. Miners preparing to drill into a newly discovered cave.

"I hope that Lord Great Dan will protect us and we will continue to mine."

"I hope that Lord Dan will bless us with food and clothing."

"I hope that Lord Great Dan will bless us with safety and well."

Lao Haimu stood in place, hearing his own voice, and seemed to see himself bowing reverently.

"I hope Lord Great Dan will wait a little longer."

Lord Dan waited, but he didn't wait any longer.

Lao Haimu knelt down and hit the sharp rocks, the stinging pain made the whole person tremble.

"Haimu, are you alright?" Someone hurriedly asked.

Hurry up and get it over, hurry up and end this.

If you find the scriptures, you will definitely make the mine prosperous and the miners safe and smooth.

"It's fine." Lao Haimu raised his head, struggled to stand up, and looked at the dark hole in front of him, "Let's go in." ”

He took the torch and slowly leaned into the cave.

Xie Rouhui watched the group disappear at the entrance of the cave, and walked back and forth a few steps impatiently.

Guards came in a hurry.

"Miss." He said.

It was the person who came back and forth to Xie Rouqing just now, Xie Rouhui looked behind him, but he didn't see Xie Rouqing.

"What about people?" She asked.

"Ran away." The guard said.

"Ran away?" Xie Rouhui raised her voice, "You told me that a cripple ran away right under your noses?" ”

The guards obviously knew that this was unspeakable, and lowered their heads and blushed.

"Originally, they were standing next to the cow, but they said that they would only go to the forest and sit on the stones, and if they looked up again, there would be no one left." He whispered.

Xie Rouhui kicked away a piece of gravel.

"She's certainly not alone." She gritted her teeth.

"Xie Wenchang's people must be watching her well." Mrs. Xie said.

"Go and search, don't live it, just the dead one, and keep Yushan well, don't allow any idlers to enter and leave, dare to violate it, no matter who it is." Xie Rouhui said, her eyes fierce, "Don't kill." ”

The guards were just about to look at Mrs. Xie when a shout of surprise sounded.

"Lord Great Dan! Lord Great Dan! Traces of excavation have been found in the cave! ”

Excavated!

That's what Ru Dadan dug before!

Mrs. Xie immediately ran over there.

Xie Rouhui only felt feverish all over, and turned her head to glare at the guards who were still standing in place.

"Don't go yet!" She shouted.

The guards immediately turned and ran.

Got it! Got it!

Xie Rouhui hurriedly chased after Mrs. Xie.

…………………………………………………….

A dark shadow shuttled through the forest for a moment before stopping.

Shao Mingqing put down Xie Rouqing on his back.

"How did you get here!" He whispered, "Didn't you say I wouldn't let you come?" ”

Xie Rouqing looked at him. Although only a silhouette could be seen in the darkness.

"Do you know what they're going to do?" She whispered.

"I know." Shao Mingqing said, "It's all arranged, and they won't be allowed to do what they want." ”

A hand grabbed him by the shoulder, the strength of his fingertips piercing through his shirt and falling onto his flesh.

"But they've got their wish." Xie Rouqing's voice was hoarse.

"No, after they find the scriptures, I will grab them, Jiajia was also brought by Zhou Chengzhen at that time, and everything will be her ...... at that time" Shao Mingqing also pressed his hand on her shoulder, trying to calm Xie Rouqing's trembling.

But the tremors are getting worse and worse.

"But they've got their wish!" Xie Rouqing said again. "The mountain was dug up. Yushan is ruined, Shao Mingqing, do you know that this is everything to her! ”

Mountain?

Shao Mingqing was stunned.

The fingers on his shoulders pushed hard, and the sound in his ears continued.

"Why don't you stop it! Why don't you tell her! Are you crazy? What the hell are you thinking! ”

What the hell are you thinking?

Oh, yes. What the hell are you thinking?

Thinking about pushing the boat with the current. I want to make their bamboo baskets empty. Thinking that everyone will see who is the real Divine Mandate, thinking that this is all over quickly, and wanting her not to be so painful anymore.

But. But does it make her more painful?

"Don't move here, they must have issued a killing order, you should hide and don't move."

Shao Mingqing said in a dumb voice, getting up and running.

"Cousin!" Xie Rouqing shouted, hearing the sound of brushing and pulling, and watched a black shadow disappear into the night.

Bright torches lit up the cave, and with the sound of chaotic footsteps, Mrs. Xie and Xie Rouhui walked in quickly.

"Lord Dan, you see, this place is by no means natural." Old Haimu staggered.

Mrs. Xie and Xie Rouhui looked around.

The cave was narrow, rugged and uneven, with a wide space, marks of swords and axes everywhere, and rotten tools scattered in the corners.

"The hole leading to the inside is here." Old Haimu said, pointing to one place.

Mrs. Xie walked over a few steps, this is also a hand-dug hole, and the piled up of rocks has been removed, revealing a path that can accommodate two people in parallel.

"Someone has already gone to see it, because the torch is out and they don't go any further." Old Haimu said, "I threw a stone into it, and the echo was very loud. ”

"Let's go." Mrs. Xie raised her feet and stepped forward.

Lao Haimu immediately took the miners to go in first, and Mrs. Xie followed closely, watching the guards also enter, Xie Rouhui gritted her teeth and had to follow up.

Walking through a narrow cave, as the old Haimu said, the front is open again, but this cave is not as artificially excavated as just now.

"Lord Dan, I can't find my way."

The miners said after looking around.

Can't find it?

Xie Rouhui frowned.

"Is it another dead end?" She said.

Mrs. Xie looked around, the torches were burning in the cave, the smell was pungent, but it was not spicy, it seemed that there was a wind echoing in it, and the smoke of the fire shook almost imperceptibly.

"It's not a dead end." She said, "Find." ”

Lao Haimu responded and led the miners to start digging in all directions.

Hearing the clanging sound echoing in the cave and the sand falling from time to time overhead, Xie Rouhui was a little uneasy.

"Mother, why don't we go out and wait." She whispered.

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger." Mrs. Xie said.

Did you see Huzi lose his life like Lord Ru Dadan? What's the use!

Xie Rouhui clenched her hands and was about to speak, when she heard a commotion and cheers at the same time.

"Lord Dan, there is a hole here!" Old Haimu shouted excitedly.

Xie Rouhui was overjoyed and hurried over.

Two miners pushed through the piles of rocks, and a tall hole appeared in front of them.

"Go in and have a look." Xie Rouhui said urgently.

A miner walked inside with a torch, and after a while he heard the sound of digging inside, followed by the rolling of rocks.

"I can walk, I can walk." The miner's voice came from within.

That's great!

"You ......" Xie Rouhui hurriedly urged people in, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she heard a loud noise, shaking under her feet, and shattering the earth and stones.

Is it going to collapse?

There was a scream in the cave, but with a scream, everything stopped again.

What's going on?

Xie Rouhui held on to the rocks and raised her head from the ground, seeing that everyone was rushing to the entrance of the cave, she hesitated and walked over carefully, and through the torch thrown in, she could see that the miner was smashed on the cave wall by a rock, only a pair of feet were exposed, and blood slowly seeped out.

stoned to death......

There was silence.

"Hold on." A miner muttered suddenly.

Hold on to the mountain bones?

Xie Rouhui understood what this meant, and her face suddenly appeared happy, looking at the hole not far from the corpse.

This was smashed open by the miner.

Yes, that's right, it's holding the mountain bones.

"Go! Keep going! She said.

Although the miners were pale, they still obediently went in one by one, carefully removing the falling rocks, and sure enough, as they said, the dead miner held on to the bones of the mountain and did not shake and collapse again.

Step by step, I walked through a winding cave, and then came to a wide cave.

"The scriptures are carved in stone?" Mrs. Xie asked, looking around.

The torches shone and the rocks were all black.

"Yes, they had to memorize the scriptures." Lao Haimu said, walking towards a boulder in the cave, "because the whole scripture is engraved on a stone slab, and it is too late to dig down, let's see if there are any words on the stone......

As soon as he said this, he suddenly turned into an exclamation.

This sudden echo was particularly piercing in the cave, causing everyone to tremble, and the ground seemed to shake for a while.

What's going on? What's going on?

Xie Rouhui grabbed the guard, only feeling suffocated.

A few more times, she would have to be scared to death if she wasn't stoned to death.

Fortunately, there were no rocks tumbling down.

"What's going on?" She shouted, looking in the direction of Old Haimu.

The old Haimu, who was originally standing on the ground, was missing at this time.

"It's empty, I'm stepping on it." Lao Haimu's voice came from the ground, and at the same time, a hand stretched out, grabbed the ground, and then poked his head out.

Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

"Be careful." Mrs. Xie said.

Lao Haimu, who stood up, also climbed up hard, and the two nearby miners were busy pulling Lao Haimu.

"My foot is stuck." He said as he lowered his head.

Stuck?

The two miners hurriedly looked inside with torches, and sure enough, they saw that Lao Haimu's left foot was stuck in the crack in the stone.

"You can't pull it, you have to dig it up and move the stones." A miner said, looking at Mrs. Xie.

Mrs. Xie frowned, but didn't say anything and waved her hand.

The miners rushed forward to grab their tools and prepare for the excavation.

"Wait." A female voice said suddenly.

Everyone present was stunned and looked at Xie Rouhui.

The guards hugged the torches, and Xie Rouhui, who was standing not far away, looked bright and dark.

"It's not stuck." She said, "This is Master Haimu holding the mountain bone. ”

Hold on to the mountain bones, then you can't take them out again, otherwise the hole will collapse.

Lao Haimu's face turned pale instantly, and he looked at Xie Rouhui in disbelief.
