Chapter 23: The Cave of the Ming King

"In addition, there is one thing that Uncle Xu may not know, if it weren't for Wen Xuan in Xiaofushe Village, you would have been slashed to death by the Yuan soldiers in a coma."

Xu Nong was taken aback when he heard this, and asked in a lost voice, "What?" Are you saying Wen Xuan saved me? Isn't it you and Mu Chong? ”

"I know you may not believe it, but if you go back and ask the villagers who were there, you'll know for sure." Tie Niu continued to say lightly: "Uncle Xu, I also know that you are thinking about me, but I have made up my mind, and I will never go down the mountain now." ”

The voice of the yin wind cry was quietly amplified in Xu Nong's silence, and it was indeed as rumored, like an evil ghost crying, making people chill all over.

The terrible black iron bull did not beg Xu Nong to stay with him, and slowly turned his back in the darkness through the cage, no longer looking at his father's old friend.

Because Tie Niu clearly remembered every lesson his father had taught him.

I remember every word of nonsense that the man tirelessly nagged when he sat on his shoulder...... It was those words that sustained a teenager to this day.

The Tao is not the same, it is one of the sentences.

"Everyone has their own ambitions, and since that's the case, you can do it yourself."

Xu Nong knew that he couldn't convince Tie Niu anymore, and since he didn't admit his feelings, he didn't want to say anything more, so he left a sentence coldly and limped away with a wooden stick.

Although Tie Niu was born tall and big, he has always been delicate in his heart, and he knew that his attitude was a little too hurtful, so he bit his lip and said bitterly, "You take care of your injuries......"

Xu Nong's figure paused slightly, slowly exhaled the yin wind in the cave from his nasal cavity, and then turned into a meaningful sigh.

"Don't worry about me, kid, take care of yourself."

After finishing speaking, he walked quickly with the pain of the wound, for fear that he would be unbearable after taking a slow step.

Since you have chosen the same path as your father, it will be difficult for you and my uncle and nephew to go together again......

When people fall into deep nostalgia, even a man who is nearly two meters tall is as soft as cotton wool in his heart.

So when Xu Nong's words were like sharp blades to cut through Tie Niu's inner pain, he could only and could only miss his father who once carried him on his shoulder.

So in the Mingwang Cave, in a dark world where there is no light, a son who misses his father weeps loudly.

Wen Xuan above the Mingwang Cave blended with the darkness, listening to the dispute between the two sentence after sentence, and felt that there were countless knives of unknown origin stabbing his heart inch by inch.

This is the first time he knows that in addition to being warm, family affection has such a heart-wrenching side.

In addition, Wen Xuan never expected that Tie Niu would take his "unsuccessful" friend so seriously.

I really can't imagine how sad this good brother who has given great trust to him behind his back would be if he and Mu Chong hadn't met the man in black today and hadn't come here to see Tie Niu......

It wasn't until Tie Niu stopped his whimpering cry that Wen Xuan's teeth on his lip were easily opened.

After rubbing his tense face vigorously, he squeezed out a smile on his face, and took out the fire fold in his arms to ignite the fire.

Every man doesn't want to be seen at his most vulnerable, especially his confidants and friends.

Wen Xuan also knew this, so his voice was very soft, pretending to be tentative to find a way, and he rushed down and called softly, "Iron Bull? Tractor? Where are you? ”

It's Wen Xuan!

Tie Niu, who was sitting on the ground, didn't expect him to come so soon, and hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeves, and responded in the direction of the voice: "I'm here!" ”

"It's coming!"

Wen Xuan echoed, and then slowly groped the stone road and continued to move forward, and after walking more than ten steps, he saw the iron bull below by the light of the fire fold.

The stone path connecting the Mingwang Cave and the mysterious stone chamber is about three meters above the ground where the iron ox stands, and if it weren't for the light of the fire fold, the people locked in the cave would never have found out that there was such a secret passage above the top of the cave.

"There's even a secret passage here?" Tie Niu's eyes widened and he looked at Wen Xuan in disbelief.

"No wonder...... So that's it! ”

Tie Niu patted his head, seemed to think of something, and sighed.

Wen Xuan lit the torch and left it in place, while he leaned forward and jumped straight down.

"What do you feel?" Wen Xuan patted Tie Niu's thick arm.

Tie Niu explained with a wry smile: "As the only forbidden place that the disciples of the sect can touch, this Mingwang Cave has always had many wonderful legends. ”

"You're talking about the yin wind that is rumored to be like a ghost crying here?" Wen Xuan asked with a chuckle.

Tie Niu shook his head, "When I was a child, I followed my father to hunt in the mountains, and I know that this rumored cry is just a mountain wind. ”

"And what do you mean?"

"After being locked up in the Myeongwang Cave, many people almost collapsed because they couldn't stand this dark place, some cried bitterly, some meditated cross-legged, and some even committed suicide by biting their tongues...... In short, there are people who react in any way, but there is always one kind of person who has the best ending. ”

"Which?"

"Calm down and confess to King Ming."

After Tie Niu finished selling the pass, he continued: "It is said that a man once knelt down and memorized the scriptures in the sect for an hour, and the people from the precept hall suddenly came in and let him out, saying that the elders of the sect had exempted him from responsibility.

At that time, everyone thought that it was his sincerity that moved King Ming, but now it seems that it is very likely that some elder saw this scene in the secret passage and temporarily decided to let him go......"

Wen Xuan also thought it was a little funny, and I don't know which of the sages of Mingjiao who loved to play tricks on people designed such an interesting mechanism.

"When did you learn about this secret passage?"

"It's Mu Chong, he brought me here." Wen Xuan simply repeated what Mu Chong said to Tie Niu.

"This is indeed something that my father and Uncle Mu can do." Tie Niu hehehe, and then asked, "What about Mu Chong?" ”

"After all, it's a forbidden place in the sect, I'm worried that someone will find out, so I'll leave him outside to let the wind out, and I'll change him in to see you tomorrow."

"I didn't expect you two to ......"

Tie Niu's heart was extremely moved, it was really a great blessing for him to have two such friends.

"Give." Wen Xuan interrupted his words of gratitude and handed over the fire fold.

"If you're bored, just lie down and sleep here, and when you wake up, you will point this point for a while, a little light, this Mingwang Cave is no different from an ordinary cave."

Tie Niu smiled and nodded, "After seeing the true appearance of this Mingwang Cave, my heart is already much better." ”

"Next time you want to drink, don't forget to call me and Mu Chong, whether it's Mingwang Cave or Huangquan Road, you have to have someone to accompany you, right? Don't hold back the pain in your heart alone......"

Wen Xuan smiled as a farewell, stepped on the shoulders of the iron bull, and climbed back to the secret passage along the raised rocks on the stone wall.
