Chapter Twenty-Six: Out of the Secret Passage
Mu Yedong walked in front first, and I pulled Wang Jinhuai to follow behind, although Wang Jinhuai didn't say anything, but he was also puzzled in his heart, seeing me talking to the air, and what he said with relish.
This time to go fast, after all, people are familiar with the road, we followed behind, and there was no danger along the way, Mu Yedong first turned back to me and said: "There are four exits here, this is the nearest one, let's go out from here, this is very close to the Iron Buddha Temple, and the front will be there immediately." ”
Sure enough, I didn't go far, and I came to a circular hall with a stone staircase. More than ten meters high, we followed the steps to the top, the top was covered with a stone slab, in the gap of the stone slab, there were still a few tree roots, it seemed to be very close to the ground, but I don't know if the stone slab is heavy, I was hesitating.
Mu Yedong said first: "Dao Chief, there is a switch on the left, and the slate will open after you press it, but hundreds of years have passed, I don't know what the situation is above, you better be careful."
I looked on the left side of the hole, and found a protruding stone, and pressed it hard, only to see that the stone slab was slowly moving, and as the stone slab moved away, a lot of soil fell from it, and it was mixed with grass. When the entrance of the cave was completely moved and the sparse sunlight shone in, Mu Yedong hurriedly retreated first, the yin soul could not be directly exposed to the sun, or the soul would be scattered. I got out of the hole and went outside, but when I saw that it was a forest with large and small mounds of earth, I knew that it was in the cemetery behind the Iron Buddha Temple.
Xiaoyi has probably never seen the sun since he was a child, and now he sees the sun, although the sunlight is not very strong blocked by the leaves, but he also feels uncomfortable, and it got into my sleeve, and it was cool and greasy, and Wang Jinhuai also drilled out. Seeing that I was about to speak, I hurriedly covered his mouth, I knew that it was more dangerous now, because the center of the Yin Demon Sect was in this cemetery, I listened to the fact that there was no movement around, and beckoned Wang Jinhuai again, and returned to the cave.
Mu Yedongxian and his men were at the bottom of the steps, because it was noon and the sun was too strong for them to walk. I came to Mu Yedongxian's side, "General Mu asked you something, when you were cultivating secret passages, was this a cemetery, and did there be other secret passages built around here?" "Dao Chief, back then, this was a forest, there was no cemetery, there were no other secret passages built in this vicinity, there were only a few exits, I know all of them, does the Dao Chief know that there are other secret passages here." After Mu Yedong finished talking first, I told me about the Yin Demon Sect's base here.
Mu Yedong pondered for a while and said, "Is this the drunkard Lao Dao who dug up again after we were trapped, if this is the case, I don't know the situation inside." If I wait until it gets dark, I'll take my men and my men to go over there to investigate, but it's noon, and we can't get out. ”
I thought about it, I can only let Wang Jinhuai wait here, I will go outside the woods to see what the situation is, and I know if the elders have come out, but Wang Jinhuai will be scared here.
"Mr. Wang, I'm going to go out and take a look, it's very dangerous in the cemetery, I can go out, but I can't get out with you, so you wait for me here, I let Xiaoyi accompany you here, and after I leave, you close the stone slab again and retreat to the inside." Don't worry, I'll be back. After I finished speaking to Wang Jinhuai, I took Xiaoyi off my shoulders and put him on the ground. told Wang Jinhuai how to open and close the mechanism of the secret passage.
After saying hello to Mu Yedong first, I went out of the secret passage.
When I came to the cemetery, it was still a little far from the center, not far from the north, and I saw that there was nothing wrong, so I jumped up to the treetops, found the right direction, and headed north.
With the elasticity of the treetops, I performed light skills, and after a while I reached the edge of the cemetery, got down from the treetops, and just wanted to go west to the Iron Buddha Temple, from the crops next to it, a few soldiers wearing military uniforms, and a soldier wearing a military uniform, holding a steel knife, pointed the knife at me and said: "What person, squatting down, dare to move and cut you." ”
I saw that even the government was alarmed, we were only in the secret passage for a day and a half, and someone reported the news.
I saw that the soldiers were pointing their swords and guns at me, and I was not afraid, it would be no problem to deal with them. I just didn't understand what was going on, I wanted to ask them, and I made up my mind, so I hurriedly said: "A few officials, I am Lei Yunzi, a Taoist priest of Laoshan Mountain, I don't know what the officials are doing here." The man in the costume of the official was obviously a small head, and said scoldingly: "It doesn't matter what kind of Taoist monk you are, the county magistrate said, as long as you come out of the cemetery, you will be arrested and sent to the south to see him." ”
Xiucai met the soldiers, he couldn't explain it clearly, and he couldn't reason with them, so he made it clear when he went to meet the county order with them.
A few men took out ropes and tied my hands. The group walked to the west, detoured to the west and came to the south of the cemetery, and on a hot day, walking in this dense crop field, sweat soaked through their clothes for a while.
As soon as I turned to the south, I found that the bell tower of the Iron Buddha Temple was gone, the collapsed garbage was piled up, and the courtyard wall had also collapsed, but the main hall was fine.
At the collapsed place of the courtyard wall, there are several big trees, and there are many people standing under the trees, looking from a distance, there are dozens of them dressed in various clothes, most of them are wearing military uniforms or official uniforms.
