Chapter 240: A New Mission.
When Zheng Lin and the others received a new task, they were about to change their route, according to Feng Yao, those people were all Wu Menggui's subordinates, and he should have stayed behind for internal use. Hua Rushui drew a simple map on the ground with tree branches, and then marked a few places, Dao.
"Senior brother and sister, you see, this is the approximate location where we are, and from the direction from which those people came, it can be inferred that they probably came from the direction of the north-northwest and west of the Poison Mountain, so there are about five places where they may go up the mountain, and I have already marked them. In addition, Uncle Feng Yao said that their base camp may be in the Poison Mountain, then it will definitely only be in the front mountain, there are many locations on the flat terrain of the front mountain, but from that direction, there are probably only three possible places, should we find the entrance or the base camp first? ”
Lu Gong looked at the simple map drawn by Hua Rushui and said, "Little junior sister is really a living map, such a complex mountain road terrain can be remembered clearly, since this is the case, let's break into the base camp." If Master Feng Yao brought them back, he would definitely be able to find out where they came in, if he couldn't find a way for us to find out and find their base camp, he would be able to uproot the hidden dangers left by Wumenggui. ”
Zheng Lin and Qing Jue have no objections, and if they find the base camp, their task will be completed, as for how the other party came in, it is a matter for the top of the sect. After Hua Rushui destroyed all the maps, he followed Zheng Lin and the others, and according to the places marked by Hua Rushui, the first place that could become the base camp was only less than three miles away from them, so the group of four could only quietly approach.
"Qingjie, let that little guy out and explore the way." After Zheng Lin stopped, he whispered to Qing Jue, and the little guy Zheng Lin said was the Tiangong Mantis, which was manipulated by Qing Jue, and could be as far away as a hundred meters away from Qing Jue, if it was far away, Qing Jue would not be able to sense it, and it would no longer be able to control it. A few minutes later, everyone hid in a bush, cleared the Tiangong mantis, and told it to leave the bushes to check, and after about a few minutes, the Tiangong mantis returned.
Qing Jue stood up and said, "There should be no one in front, and there is a place in front that may be the entrance, they can't be stupid enough to put the base camp here." Why don't you take a look at the front, maybe there are other gains. ”
After two quarters of an hour, they came to a narrow mountain road, and there was a waterfall next to it, and the mountain road below the waterfall actually had a passage that looked like a corridor. They plucked up the courage to walk into the passage, and after about three corners, they actually came to a dead end, and everyone looked around on the side, Lu Gong said.
"It doesn't seem strange, it doesn't look like there's a mechanism, but it really doesn't look like a natural passage, it should be man-made."
"Some of the mechanisms don't necessarily use objects as switches, but they may be other things." I saw the bricks on the ground walking around, stepping on different patterns, but the other three couldn't understand what she was doing, but just when Qingjue stepped on the last piece, the dead end actually opened a door.
Zheng Lin was surprised: "How did you do it?" ”
"It's very simple, you look at the above, this is according to the nine palace gossip of the mechanism, above is the star map, corresponding to the nine palaces of the heavenly disk, and the various pattern bricks on the ground represent the eight gates in the gossip. As long as you follow the prompts of the star map and find the corresponding eight door maps, you can go out of the birth gate, and the door will open naturally. ”
Although Zheng Lin still didn't understand, his expression of sudden realization still deceived the others, anyway, the door opened, Lu Gong walked in the front and entered the door, but he suddenly stopped again. In front of them, it turned out to be a cliff, although there were two iron chains leading into the distance, but they couldn't see the road ahead at all, everyone looked at each other, and Lu Gong spoke.
"It's... It shouldn't be the entrance, it's estimated that it will be difficult for ordinary people to come from the other side, and they don't know how long this chain is, what should I do now, go back? ”
Zheng Lin stood on the edge of the cliff and looked at it, and said, "This is too high, if you fall, you will definitely be crushed, I don't think they will risk coming from here, then let's go." With that, the four of them retreated from the edge of the cliff, and when they left this place, they were about to go to a second place that might be the base camp of the other party.
There is about ten miles away from here, they need to rest and start again, Hua Rushui when resting, roughly drew the map in front of him, and said: "Now our location is about ten miles away from the second place, where the terrain is complicated, there will be a few thorny land, and the surrounding is a large bamboo forest, which is very suitable for hiding, and it is the position I suspect the most." ”
"It's just that that place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if you pass through the bamboo forest, it is likely to be discovered by the secret sentinels, but it is almost impossible to pass through the thorny land, the most important thing, that place is separated from us by a river, it is very difficult to approach, and we must discuss a complete countermeasure."
Hearing Hua Rushui say this, they must be cautious, now I don't know how many people there are on the other side, but there are definitely secret whistles, they are hidden in the poison mountain, they must be prepared, how to find and bypass the secret whistles that the other party may set up, this is particularly important. Hua Rushui here is the most knowledgeable about the terrain, although Lu Gong has been to the front mountain, but he has not been to this direction, now, Hua Rushui will take the lead, first close to the second position.
Along the way, Lu Gong would leave a mark exclusive to the Five Poisons Sect, so that Feng Yao could find them when he returned. Half an hour later, they finally arrived in front of a large bamboo forest, Hua Rushui asked the other three to stop, and said: "There are still two miles ahead of the open land, if they are there, this bamboo forest is the first barrier, there is likely to be a secret whistle, we must be careful." ”
Several people made four hats out of bamboo and put them on their heads to make it easier for them to hide, and then Hua Rushui took the lead and walked into the bamboo forest, Hua Rushui would often ask others to stop and observe the surroundings before moving forward. So their speed will be much slower, and now it is noon, the sun is high, and Hua Rushui is getting closer and closer, staring at the surrounding movements from time to time.
Suddenly, Hua Rushui squatted down in a low voice, signaled everyone to stop, then pointed to a haystack in front of her, and whispered, "There is movement, let's bypass." And in the haystack that Hua Rushui was referring to, there were indeed two men lying down below, and one of them spoke.
"It's lying on my stomach every day, when is it a head! I also encounter poison from time to time, and I don't know when I will be able to leave this ghost place. ”
