Chapter 455: Secretly Elite
Let's go, that's all you need to know. ”
Xiao Chumo gently raised the corners of his mouth, took Yu Panxi's hand, and led her along the stone steps until he walked to a very simple stone door.
The carved hollow pattern on the door is vivid, and you can faintly see the exquisite skill of the craftsman at the time. It's just that for some reason, Yu Panxi was not attracted by those carvings for the first time, but couldn't help but look at it twice, and always felt that there was something wrong with that door.
I don't know what Xiao Chumo did on the stone door, only heard a "click", there seemed to be a sound similar to the operation of the mechanism, and when he reached out to push the stone door that looked extremely heavy, there was no difficulty at all. It was as if what he was pushing at this time was not a stone door at all, but an ordinary wooden door.
Yu Panxi had never seen a mechanism that could drag this kind of stone gate, and he thought that he should also have the strength of a thousand catties, so he only felt a little magical, and couldn't help asking, "What did you do just now?" ”
"I opened the door with the 'key', if you are interested, I will give you the key, and you can take it yourself to study and study."
Xiao Chumo could see the light in her eyes at a glance, and couldn't help but be a little funny when he saw her looking like a curious baby. But in fact, he didn't know much about things like mechanisms, so while answering Yu Panxi's words, he simply handed over a ring-shaped jade pendant that he had picked up after opening the door.
The latter didn't expect that the key to open such a large stone door was actually just a jade pendant less than the size of a palm. After taking it from Xiao Chumo's hand, he immediately looked at it over and over again, but in the end, he couldn't see any mystery from it, so he threw it back again.
"Forget it, this place is so deeply hidden, it must be a very important place for you. I don't have the ambition to learn any tricks, it's useless to hold this thing, so you should keep it yourself. ”
Compared with the strange mechanism that suddenly appeared in front of her, she was still more curious about what Xiao Chumo was going to take her here to see. Such a mysterious and secretive, and the answer to what she wants to know is here, she wants to see what kind of medicine is sold in his gourd!
Xiao Chumo didn't deny what she said, just put away the jade pendant with a smile, and then walked into the door with her. After turning around and passing by the other two smaller stone doors one after another, just when Yu Panxi felt more and more wrong because of the layout here, suddenly there were bursts of uniform footsteps faintly. As they walked, their voices grew louder, as if someone was sneaking around to train the army.
Before she could ask the doubts in her heart, Xiao Chumo took her around the last corner, and her vision suddenly widened. However, what appeared in front of her was not some dug out room or some strange secret room, but a very wide open space, and looking at the traces around her, this should be a natural formation in this mountain.
And just above this clearing, there are densely packed, shirtless young men who are sweating profusely and training. Because they are standing relatively high at this time, they can barely take in the entire training ground at a glance.
It was the first time Yu Panxi had seen such a shocking scene, not to mention that the current location of the training ground was actually inside the mountain. I saw that her eyes widened slightly, and she took a rough look at the surrounding environment in some incredulity, and then turned her head to look at Xiao Chumo: "How did you find such a hidden and wide place?" And the people below......"
She had a vague guess in her heart, but she didn't know if it was right or not, so she hesitated and didn't ask it immediately. But even if she didn't finish her words, Xiao Chumo could probably guess what she wanted to ask, so he replied to her words with a light smile: "You're right, those people who are training below are the real elite forces under my hands." Although the secret guards who are responsible for guarding the security of the palace are also very good, if they are compared to them, they are still a little worse. ”
As he spoke, he walked down the steps with Yu Panxi on the side. It was just the training grounds, and there were some places to store weapons, and he hadn't taken her to see them yet.
Although the movement of the stone door when it opened was not loud, the slightly dull sound was still very obvious in this empty place. As early as when the two of them came in from there, Xiao Chumo had already discovered their arrival when they were in charge of supervising and training the elite men here.
It's just that the people under him know the rules very well, and seeing that his master was busy taking his wife to visit, he didn't seem to care about them, so when they met, they only saluted quietly, and after Xiao Chumo nodded, he went back to doing his own thing.
Yu Panxi and Xiao Chumo walked side by side in this amazingly large cave, the further she went, the more shocked she was by these things she saw, and she couldn't help asking: "Such a big place, and the entrance when you came in was so small, how did you find out in the first place?" And although the air here is a little humid, it doesn't look stuffy at all, could it be that there are other outlets here? ”
This was not a random guess on her part without evidence, but she had already discovered it as early as when Xiao Chumo brought her in from the small cave above. The moss on it was densely grown, but it didn't look like it had been trampled on a lot. And there are so many people who train here, and the amount of food that needs to be consumed every day is not a small amount, and if someone often carries food down from above, it is impossible not to leave any traces.
"The lady is really smart!"
Xiao Chumo raised his eyebrows and echoed rather flatteringly, and then continued: "There is indeed another exit, look over there-"
He suddenly raised his hand and pointed in a direction, and a damp wind was blowing from there with a hint of coldness. When the two walked in a little, Yu Panxi saw clearly that what he wanted to say turned out to be an underground river with a turbulent undercurrent under a small slope here. On both sides of the riverbank, there are some very obvious trampling marks, and it seems that many people pass by here every day.
"If you go out along the river, you will see a small village when you get out of the mountain. In fact, the people who live there are all the people I have arranged in advance, and they are responsible for the food problems of these elites on weekdays. And as for the question you just said about this cave......"
Xiao Chumo smiled a little, but soon became a little more serious, "This cave is indeed naturally formed, but it was not so big originally, and after I discovered it, I ordered someone to find a way to expand it." Do you remember the stone doors and chambers we walked by? ”
