Chapter Forty-Eight: Seeing the Light of Day Again
Bang
The subtle flow of water came from the depths of the earth, and although the sound was small, it was the only sound in this claustrophobic stone chamber, except for the striking of iron tools, and it was clearly audible.
Zhongli Jiujiu frowned and thought for a moment, and suddenly came back to his senses, with joy in his eyes:
"I know, it's high tide, such a heavy boulder, if you want to lift it, it can only be quicksand or water, this room is Tibetan, and it won't be used only once, so it must have been lifted by using the high tide, and the door opened immediately."
Xu Buling breathed a long sigh of relief, quickly stood up, came to Fang Cai's waistline mechanism, and pointed the direction of the swallow's head to the stone gate outside. Then he picked up the heirloom jade seal, and pulled Zhongli Jiujiu to the door to wait.
The sound of percussion behind him continued, and Zhongli Jiujiu looked back:
"What are they going to do?"
"The doors are open, they dig up the stone wall and come out, and there is Zhu Liu in the back."
"Yes."
Zhongli Jiujiu nodded, took Xu Buling's arm and waited in front of the stone gate.
It's just that the mechanism should be opened by the gravity of the water, and with such a heavy stone wall, there is obviously a lot of water to be filled.
After waiting for about half an hour, I could hear a 'click-' behind the wall, and the stone door shook slightly, and it didn't open for a long time.
Xu Buling's palms were sweaty, and Zhongli Jiujiu, who was pinching, was a little painful, and when he was looking forward to it, there was a sudden 'pop-' sound from the back of the quilt, and a few stones fell to the ground.
Xu Buling's face changed slightly, and he scolded secretly and looked back, but saw an iron tip exposed on the stone wall in the distance, and stirred it vigorously, and then a fist-sized gap popped out, and then the iron gun was withdrawn, and one eye appeared at the entrance of the cave, and Chen Chong's excited voice:
"Worn on...... I'm !! ”
Chen Chong, who was lying in the narrow hole of the stone wall, saw Xu Buling and Zhong Li Jiujiu standing in the room, and his extremely excited emotions turned into indescribable despair in an instant, and he almost pulled them directly.
"What's wrong?"
"What's going on?"
"What do you see?"
As the stone wall opened, the voices behind them could be heard clearly, and all five men were restless, apparently torn apart by the dull and desperate work.
Chen Chong's eyes were cracked, looking at Xu Buling, who was also trapped in another cell, and how desperate he felt could be imagined.
It's like a prisoner who wants to escape, digging a tunnel with a spoon for twenty years, and finally digging a septic tank, and the current situation is probably not much better than there.
"It's a promise!"
Chen Chong's face turned red, the blue tendons on his forehead burst out, and he shouted in surprise.
"What?"
"Why didn't he leave?"
"Is there an ambush?"
……
The noise was incessant.
Chen Chong was already almost insane, staring at the stone wall that was difficult to dig through on the opposite side, and he didn't know how to react.
It's just that at this moment, the stone wall in front of him suddenly lifted up slightly, revealing a gap.
!!
"Wait...... Wait a minute! The door opened, opened...... Ahem, ahem—"
Under the ups and downs, Chen Chong, who was not injured, was directly provoked out of a mouthful of old blood, and when he coughed violently, he wanted to use an iron gun to break through the stone cave.
Xu Buling turned around and raised his single knife: "Don't move, otherwise I will destroy the stone gate when I go out." ”
Chen Chong's action was abrupt, he naturally didn't believe that Xu Buling could destroy the stone gate, but the way out was close at hand, and he ran out before the door opened, maybe he would be hacked to death by Xu Buling, who had been resting, and he gritted his teeth at the moment, just staring at it.
The five people behind the door did not move, it is estimated that they were scared of being locked up, no matter what happened at this time, they would definitely go out to see the light before fighting, and no one wanted to dig the stone gate again.
Click, click, click
The sound of the gears turning intensified, and finally the earth shook violently, something fell, and the impregnable stone wall in front of him opened in an instant.
Xu Buling did not hesitate, picked up Zhongli Jiujiu, who had become a lady, and rushed out of the passage with his legs drawn.
"It's on! It's on! ”
Chen Chong did not hesitate, stirred the spear vigorously, tried his best, and after about a quarter of an hour's effort, he broke a gap in the stone wall, drilled out of it, and ran wildly towards the passage.
Although the entrance to the cave was narrow, none of the five of them were ordinary people, and they rushed out of the cave almost in the blink of an eye.
Ding Yuan and Chen Daozi quickly distanced themselves from Li Hansheng, and Chen Chong in front of him turned around and roared:
"The jade seal of the country is in Xu Buling's hands, I have seen it with my own eyes, and it has run away."
The six people who had just escaped had no time to rejoice, so they remembered the important events that mattered to the world, and after glancing at each other, Chen Daozi once again used his sword to force Li Hansheng back, and retreated into the passage with Ding Yuan.
Li Hansheng wanted to chase after the national jade seal, but his physical exertion last night was too great, and he didn't mean to fight hard with Chen Daozi and others, so he chased him out.
It's just that six people have been digging stones for a day, and it is good to be able to run at this time, and the speed is not to mention, it is about the same as ordinary people running.
At the forefront, although Xu Buling rested for one night, he lacked water and dry food, and only ate a little bit in order to prepare for the long term.
But after all, he had been resting, much better than the last few hard laborers, and in half an hour he saw the light at the end of the road.
Zhongli Jiujiu almost cried with joy, holding the jade seal of the country, and took two mouthfuls in Xu Buling, and said excitedly:
"Come out, come out, we're alive......"
Xu Buling just forced himself to calm down and comfort Zhongli Jiujiu last night, how not to panic in his heart, at this time, he saw the light again, and he was also excited and couldn't be suppressed, and said softly:
"Lady, don't move, what should I do if I fall."
Zhongli Jiujiu was slightly stunned, his thoughts gradually recovered, and his face suddenly turned red:
"Who's your lady, joking around......"
Smack-
A very hard slap on the elastic skirt, and the flesh waves.
"Shhhhh
Zhongli Jiujiu frowned in pain, almost cried, pursed his lips, but didn't dare to make any more trouble.
Xu Buling's footsteps sped, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed to the place where the light shrank, drew his knife and split the ice skate, and the two of them jumped out of the snow, and in an instant, the sea breeze paved the surface, and the dazzling light made it impossible to see anything clearly.
Xu Buling squinted his eyes and carefully scanned the surroundings, but found that he was on a small island, the landform was very different from Bodhi Island, and it was much smaller, and it was estimated that he had come to Yuetuo Island on the opposite side.
Zhongli Jiujiu's face froze: "It's ...... No boat......"
Xu Buling looked around, and could vaguely see Bodhi Island and the coastline at the end of his vision, but at least six miles away, with his current physical strength, with Zhongli Jiujiu, it was a question of whether he could swim through the cold sea.
Zhongli Jiujiu looked back at the entrance of the cave:
"What to do? Do you want to give them the jade seal? ”
"Let's look for it first."
Xu Buling gasped for breath, ran across the snow with a knife, and ran to the beach to see if he could find a fishing boat.
I don't know if the Ji people have their own natural appearance, just ran to the near sea, and saw a fishing boat parked near the beach.
??
Xu Buling's footsteps were stunned, feeling that something was wrong, no matter how lucky he was, it couldn't be so good, it was the same as what people deliberately arranged.
The doubt didn't last long, Xu Buling just stopped, and an exclamation came from behind him:
"Xu Buling!"
The voice was cold, and it was a woman.
Xu Buling's body shook slightly, and when he looked back, he saw a woman in a white dress standing up on a big stone on the side, tall and slim......
