Chapter 168: Entrance to the Secret Realm
I looked at the winter and said, "You don't think there's anything else you haven't told me, right?" β
According to Winter, there will be no one else in the secret realm except for those who sneak in.
She didn't pinch the magic trick, and she didn't open the mechanism, how did the cave door open? Something must be hiding from me in winter.
Winter gently pressed his hand on Xiao Baitang's shoulder and smiled: "Even if I have something to hide from you, can you still go back?" β
Holding Xiao Baitang in winter is not to threaten me with her, but to tell me the fact that all my friends are in her hands, even if the secret realm in front of me is the Longtan Tiger's Den, I must step towards death, because I have no choice.
I looked at each other for a long time before turning around and walking back into the cave. It wasn't until I stepped into the door of the cave with both feet that I heard Winter whisper: "Continue! β
I turned around suddenly, only to see Winter throwing the little sugar in front of me. I instinctively grabbed the little white candy, and it took me a few directions to dissolve the strength of winter, but I also stepped into the depths of the cave.
As soon as I put down the frightened little white sugar, the cave door slowly closed before our eyes. The figure standing between the two gates in winter began to get narrower and narrower, but her voice came clearly: "Although the Miao people can't enter the secret realm, they can open the mechanism in the secret realm. I've opened all the traps, and the secret realm is a killing game for anyone. I let you enter the secret realm just to make sure that anyone is still alive. I don't want anyone else to come out alive but the two of you. β
When Winter said the last word, her figure left in the crack of the door was only one eye, and between me and Winter looked at each other, I saw a strange red light flash in her eyes.
After the bronze gate closed, I could only follow the torches on both sides of the cave to the depths of the secret realm, and I had not long walked out before a three-way intersection appeared in front of me. I crouched down and looked through the light of the fire on the wall for a long time, but I couldn't find a trace of anyone passing. Could it be that the people who went to the cave first flew from the sky?
I was undecided when I heard Little White Sugar say in a trembling voice, "Over there...... The man over there seemed to be alive. β
"Who?" I didn't feel like anyone was around since I came in.
"Under that lamp over there!"
When I looked in the direction of Xiao Baitang's finger, I did see a figure kneeling on the ground. The other man held his hands high above the top, palms facing the sky, holding a basin-sized lamp plate, and in the center of the lamp plate was a burning wick.
Along the way, I saw at least four similar lampholders, but only this "lampholder" made people feel that they breathed faintly.
"You stand still!" When I let go of the little white sugar and slowly walked towards the lantern, I gradually saw the other person's hair spread out. No matter how carefully a real lampholder is made, it will not leave a person's hair behind. There must be a living person underneath the lampholder.
When I reached out and grabbed the man's hair and slowly revealed his face, I couldn't help but be slightly stunned: I have seen this person, isn't he Sun Xiaomei's subordinate?
Gu Piaoran brought Sun Xiaomei in?
When he saw me, he made two strange "uh-uh" noises from his mouth, as if he wanted to say something to me, but the only half of his tongue left in his mouth could only make him whimper like a dying beast.
I hesitated for a moment before grabbing the other person's body and pulling him forward, and the man couldn't help but shudder, and his mouth let out a scream, until I let go, and he slowly calmed down.
The moment the man was pulled away from the wall, I saw behind him four iron hooks stuck in the flesh. He was hung on the wall and made to look like a lamp plate.
From the position of the hook, I could tell that the wound was not the result of the mechanism. Although the ancient secret techniques of the mechanism were exquisite, they could not accurately penetrate human bones without injuring the internal organs of the opponent.
After a few steps of retreat, I removed the three ghost eye coins from the rakshasa and sat cross-legged on the fork in the road, throwing the ghost money into the air. The three large coins flipped in the air for a moment, then floated into the sky at the same time, and then crossed in front of my eyes in turn.
As soon as I caught my eyes on the first coin hole, I saw two sorcerers of the Hanging Mirrors, despite the pleading pleas of their companions, shoehorn their iron hooks into each other's ribs from behind and hung him on the wall.
I was about to take a closer look when a strong wind suddenly rose behind me. Before I could react, the first ghost coin was out of my sight in an instant, and the strong wind that was about to hit me disappeared at the same moment.
The second coin turned to me, and this time I saw only two legs of a person walking past me, and I was clearly looking at each other in a kneeling position. What's going on?
The moment I stared at Qian Kong, Xiao Baitang suddenly slapped me from behind. I was shocked, three ghost coins fell to the ground at the same time, and I couldn't help but turn around and say, "You want to ......"
"Shh Xiao Baitang made a silent motion, "Someone is coming!" β
I immediately lowered my body and pressed my ears to the ground, and there was indeed a sound of footsteps in the passage to the left.
I rolled my gaze a few times, but couldn't find a place to hide. The position I am in now is a straight road, and both sides of the road are illuminated by torches, and even if I hide at the gate, I may not be able to avoid the other party's sight.
Let me hide in another passageway? That would be tantamount to opening the way for others, and I don't want to be like that yet.
In my anxiety, I suddenly saw a coffin hanging above the cave. I reached out and grabbed the little white sugar: "Go up, quick, lie on the coffin." β
Before I could object, I lifted it on my shoulder. Without waiting for her to fully stand still, I held the soles of the other person's feet with both hands and lifted her up with force, pushing her into the air. When Xiao Baitang grabbed the edge of the coffin with both hands and climbed onto the lid of the coffin, the four ropes that held the coffin suddenly made a soft sound.
Xiao Baitang, who poked his head out of the edge of the coffin, was so frightened that he quickly covered his small mouth, stretched out his hand and pointed desperately at the rope, which meant that the rope was about to break.
I gestured to her twice in a row, telling her to quickly retreat and hide.
After Xiao Baitang retracted his head, I was worried. The rope that hung the coffin was obviously not able to bear the weight of two people, and I could no longer hide from it.
In my anxiety, a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred in front of meβdidn't I just feel like I was on my knees and saw someone pass in front of me? Then I should have hid in the lampholder!
I found a vacant groove, knelt on the ground with my back to the wall, dragged the lamp plate upwards with both hands, and pretended to be a lampholder, and soon someone came out of the corridor on the left.
I heard Sun Xiaomei's voice from a distance: "Mr. Gu, you clearly said that the road on the left is the way of life, but we lost six people in a row, but we still walked into a dead end, how are you going to explain?" β
"There's no need for the old man to explain anything." Gu Piaoran's voice really sounded, but his tone was extremely calm, "As a person in the Dao of Arts, you should know that a person's life can change rapidly under certain circumstances, especially in this kind of dangerous situation, it is even more changeable......"
Sun Xiaomei interrupted without waiting for the other party to finish: "What you said is the number of fates, can a passage be as impermanent as the number of lives?" β
"There's nothing in the world that can't happen...... Gu Piaoran said in a deep voice, "Don't you think that no one can enter the secret realm except us?" Isn't it the same time that someone has come in? β
I couldn't help but "chuckle" in my heart. I dare to pretend to be a lampstand and kneel not far from Sun Xiaomei and them, I am taking advantage of the psychology of others turning a blind eye - this place should have been searched many times by Sun Xiaomei and them, and it is because they have seen it too many times, so they will not carefully search the surrounding situation, and I can naturally fish in troubled waters.
But Gu Piaoran is different, he is a real liar, and he is also the best at grasping the psychology of others, I am afraid that I can't deceive him with this trick.
Sun Xiaomei frowned and said, "What do you mean?" β
"Look at your feet." When Gu Piaoran stretched out his hand to point to the ground, Xie Jingwen exclaimed, "Miao girl! A Miao girl has come in! Didn't you say that the secret realm of Shenzhai did not allow the Miao people to enter? β
Xie Jingwen treated Xiao Bai Tang as a Miao girl. Xiao Baitang has been wearing Miao costumes since we first met, and even her shoes have the original Miao meaning, and the footprints she stepped on are naturally no different from Miao girls.
Gu Piaoran sneered: "You can deceive the Miao girls into a mess, and let them go to the secret realm with you rather than die, can't the wizards of the Miao family make an exception to come in?" β
In Miaojiang, there is a very interesting thing, that is, whether it is a wizard or a Gu master, the most outstanding of them are women, and men rarely can achieve great witches. Therefore, what people in the Dao of Surgery are really afraid of is Miao Nu.
However, Xie Jingwen, who was born in Lianhuamen, is precisely the disaster star of women, especially the Miao family woman who is simple-minded and can sacrifice her life for love, and it is even more difficult to resist the other party's means.
The Hanging Mirror Division must have made an article with Xie Jingwen.
If I guessed correctly, the masters of the Hanging Mirror Division deliberately showed soldiers on the border of Miao Jiang and led away a large number of Miao Jiang masters, but sent Xie Jingwen out to confuse a wizard of not low status, and let her sneak into the depths of Miao Jiang with a strange army.
With a wizard leading the way, with a little makeup, it is not difficult for them to pass through many levels and lurk near the god village. It's just that Sun Xiaomei, how could they be marked with Gu Piaoran?
At that time, I had a feeling that Gu Piaoran seemed to be calculating Sun Xiaomei. If I'm right, maybe I'll get away with it.
I was paying attention to the other party's movements, and Xie Jingwen actually said in a calm voice: "Where is Dongbao?" Let her come! β
