Volume 1 Iron and Blood Shadow Chapter 14 Dan Cheng promises

At this time, the sky was fluttering and the ground was like a drizzle, and everyone felt refreshed. Walked all the way, crossed the Tianzhong Bridge in Luoshui, bypassed the hometown of Tianliu Imperial City, walked and stopped all the way, and after an hour, everyone came to the outside of the palace unhurriedly. Looking at the endless, towering and dilapidated palace city walls in front of him, he said to Xu Feng: "I knew this was the case, I asked the uncle to issue an edict this morning, and I could enter the palace city to have a look." Now I can only look at the wall and sigh. Lin Meiyu said: "It is said that the edict to enter the palace city must be jointly signed by Dazai and the chief priest, but it is not easy. Xiang Xufeng blushed and said, "I forgot about this." ”

Lin Meiyu said with a smile: "It's okay, just take a look outside this palace city, and feel the rise and fall of Tianliu for a thousand years, isn't it also good?" Wu Di said: "It's a pity that I can't see the interior of the palace city!" The rest of the people thought that this was indeed the case, and they couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Xiang Mufeng on the side suddenly said: "Everyone, I overheard the inspector of the inner division of the palace yesterday say that there is a small hill near Jiacang in the north of the east of the palace city, near Jiacang, which has been piled up with sand and mud when Tianyi excavated the city canal for many years, and has not been removed. Perhaps we can see the interior of Miyagi from afar on the top of Natsu Mountain. ”

Everyone was overjoyed, and according to Xiang Mufeng's words, they passed through the Dongcheng that had already been razed to the ground, and saw a dirt mountain with a radius of 100 zhang and a height of about 100 feet in the north of the Dongcheng. A few patrols around Tushan saw the waist card of the Great Sikou Mansion issued to Xu Feng, and hurriedly bowed down to let him go.

The soil of the mountain was soft, and it was muddy and difficult to walk after the rain, but everyone climbed it with great interest. When you reach the top of the mountain, you can see that the Tianliu Palace City is in full view! In the hazy drizzle, I can see that the pavilions and pavilions in the palace city are endless, and although the walls are broken and ruined everywhere, the pattern is still there. Looking at it from afar, it is like a dream, and the past glory of the Tianliu Dynasty seems to be right in front of you. All the teenagers saw the world-famous Tianliu Palace City for the first time, and they were silent for a while, feeling the grandeur and desolation of this area.

Before you know it, the sky is getting more and more gloomy, and Miyagi is blurred in everyone's eyes. Suddenly, the sky suddenly went dark, there was a thunderclap, and a downpour of rain fell. There was no shelter on the dirt mountain, and Xiang Xufeng hurriedly said: "Let's go down the mountain to avoid the rain." The people came back to their senses and reluctantly walked down the mountain.

The rain was pouring down, the dirt and mountains were muddy, and everyone's cultivation was still shallow, so they couldn't help but start to struggle. Halfway up the mountain, the soft soil mountain could not withstand the torrential rain, and the mountain collapsed, and the mud rolled out like a rushing stream.

Wu Di shouted when he saw this scene: "It's not good, let's go!" But the rain was like thunder, and the thunder shook the sky, and even Wu Di himself couldn't hear his own shouts clearly. The heavy rain covered everyone's sight, Wu Di hazy stretched out his hand to grab the two staggering figures on the side, violently lifted his qi Hai Yuanqi, and rushed to the side with the light body exercises. Wu Di's cultivation is high, his body is outstanding, he jumped several times to avoid the rushing mud, and in about half a moment, he landed on a high stone platform in embarrassment. Wu Di dragged the two people in his hands onto the stone platform, and he didn't have time to adjust the chaotic aura in his body, so he hurriedly leaned over and looked at the two people beside him. One person is Qianhui, and the other is Wu Yantao, both of them look depressed and gasp for breath. Wu Di couldn't help but be anxious, and shouted loudly outside the high platform: "Scatter, scatter, where are you?" Under the heavy rain, the sound could not be transmitted at all, let alone the echo could not be heard...

Lin Meiyu walked at the end of everyone. The mud flow is surging, the crisis is steep, Lin Meiyu is not chaotic, she turns around and falls down suddenly, and the Yuan Qi of the Qi Sea is spread on her hands, elbows, feet, and knees, and the earth attribute Yuan Qi in her body and the water of the mud flow are restrained and rushed, making Lin Meiyu float on the mud flow and go down the river.

Lin Meiyu slid down the river for less than a moment, and suddenly an arm stretched out in the mudflow, grabbed Lin Meiyu's right foot like a withered vine, and pulled down sharply, and then a figure rose into the sky in the mudflow on Lin Meiyu's right, and flew straight down the mountain with strength. Lin Meiyu was defenseless, she couldn't see what was happening behind her at all, her breath suddenly stagnated, and she could no longer condense Yuan Qi evenly distributed all over her elbows, feet and knees, and her breath was disordered and fell into the mud under the impact of the mudflow, and she fell deeper and deeper between the struggles, unable to extricate herself. In an instant, the mudflow did not pass over Lin Meiyu's head, Lin Meiyu's mouth and nose were blocked, and her breathing was not smooth...

Liu Sanzhi was cautious by nature, and at the beginning of the descent, he felt that something was very wrong, and when he saw a half-human-long dead wood next to his feet, he picked it up. When the earth mountain collapsed and the mud flow surged, Liu Sanzhi involuntarily leaned towards Lin Meiyu and went down the river on the left side of Lin Meiyu. In the haze, he suddenly saw Lin Meiyu falling into the mudflow, Liu Sanzhi couldn't help but be shocked, and eagerly gathered the whole body Yuan Qi on his feet and knees, carried Yishan Gong, and shouted: "Burst!"

Lin Meiyu's sinking force was huge, how could Liu Sanzhi pull and move? Liu Sanyi gritted his teeth, and the person urged the little remaining Yuan Qi in the sea of qi in the air, and with the Yishan Gong folding technique, he forcibly turned his body, and threw his body down the mountain with a forward flip, and with the help of the power of his body swinging, Lin Meiyu was narrowly pulled out of the mudflow! Lin Meiyu's body flew out and smashed into Liu Sanzhi's body. The two of them were exhausted, and under the heavy blows to each other, they both fainted, but Liu Sanzhi's hand that held Lin Meiyu's wrist tightly did not let go...

I don't know how much time passed, Liu Sanzhi woke up and opened his eyes, and it was pitch black all around, and he vaguely saw a pair of lacquer-like starry eyes staring at him.

"Are you awake?!" Lin Meiyu's soft voice seemed to come into Liu Sanzhi's ears from afar. Liu Sanzhi struggled to sit up and stammered, "You, are you okay?" Lin Meiyu laughed softly: "I'm fine! However, you'd better let go of my wrist, otherwise you'll be broken!"

Liu Sanzhi hurriedly let go, lowered his head and said embarrassedly: "Yes, I'm sorry." I didn't mean to!" Lin Meiyu was sore and weak, rubbed her wrist, and said softly: "I should thank you." If you hadn't saved me, I'd probably be buried under the sand by now. ”

Liu Sanzhi muttered: "It's nothing, it's nothing! By the way, where are we now?" Lin Meiyu said: "I don't know either." It was as if we had been washed into a ditch. I woke up with the water, which dragged you out of the ditch. You've been lying here for half a moment. ”

Liu Sanzhi sat up, groped and took out the flint velvet from the leather belt around his waist, lit the velvet, and Lin Meiyu's beautiful face was close at hand. Liu San's heart panicked, and he almost dropped the velvet to the ground.

Liu Sanzhi calmed down, and saw that there were still many mud spots on Lin Meiyu's head and face, so he took out his square scarf from his arms and handed it over, saying, "You wipe your face." Lin Meiyu nodded and took the scarf.

Liu Sanzhi turned his head to look around, and it turned out that the two of them were in a long corridor. The corridor is about four feet high and five steps wide. The road is made of bluestone, the walls are colorful, and the black and dark on both sides do not know where to extend. The two of them were standing on top of the stone steps on the side of the tunnel, and there was a surge of water in the waterway below the stone steps. Lin Sanzhi said: "Could it be the underground waterway of Tianliu Palace?"

Liu Sanzhi lowered his body to look at the water flow with the fire velvet, got up and said, "Lin... Lin Meiyu said: "Call me Meiyu." I'll borrow your scarf and return it to you when I get out. With that, he tied up his loose hair with a square scarf.

Liu Sanzhi: "Mei, Mei Yu." Looking at this tunnel, I think it should be the Miyagi underground waterway. We were actually rushed into here!" Lin Meiyu nodded and said, "I'm the same as you think." But logically speaking, Miyagi is heavily guarded, and the waterway exits should be blocked, so how can we be rushed in?"

Liu Sanzhi took a few steps on each side of the road with the velvet, and when he came back, he took a closer look at the waterway and said, "There are traces of dredging in the waterway, and it seems that there is silt on the stone steps on both sides not long ago. I estimate that it is the rainy season, and there are many torrential rains, so Miyagi is dredging underground waterways to prevent waterlogging. I am afraid that the heavy rain came suddenly today, and the workers were all diverting the stagnant water on the ground, and went up before they could close the exit here, so that we were coincidentally washed into the Miyagi waterway by the mudflow of the earth and mountain collapse. ”

Lin Meiyu nodded and said, "It should be what you said." We must get out as soon as possible now, otherwise we will be in big trouble if we are discovered. My sister had told me before that if I entered the palace without permission, I would not even be given a chance to explain. ”

Liu Sanzhi handed the velvet into Lin Meiyu's hand, stretched out his hand and inserted it into the water, up to his upper arm, and after a while, he stood up and pointed to the right hand, and said: "There are two strands on the left and right, the water flow on the right side is strong but gradually weakening, and the exit is here." Let's go!"

Liu Sanzhi raised his feet and left, but he heard Lin Meiyu screaming, and hurriedly turned his head to look, only to see Lin Meiyu bending down and squatting down with both hands supporting his right foot. Lin Meiyu's soft brocade air boots on her right foot no longer knew where they had been left behind, and blood oozed from the sludge-stained Ayaluo socks. Liu Sanzhi exclaimed: "You are injured?!"

Lin Meiyu frowned and said, "There was a cut on the foot." Liu Sanzhi scratched his head and said, "Then, it's better to... Mei Yu, why don't I bandage you?" Lin Meiyu hesitated and nodded.

Liu Sanzhi asked Lin Meiyu to sit on the stone steps, squatted down and gently lifted Lin Meiyu's right foot, and removed the silk socks on the girl's feet. Lin Meiyu's jade feet are slender and exquisite, pink and fair, and her toes are like five dazzling small pearls against the backdrop of firelight. Liu Sanzhi held Lin Meiyu's smooth and soft ankle with his left hand, and couldn't help but be a little dizzy.

Although Lin Meiyu was quite open-minded, she couldn't help but be hit by Liu Sanzhi's ankle, her face was crimson, and she hurriedly said: "Brother Sanzhi, what's the matter?" Liu Sanzhi came back to his senses, and he didn't raise his head with a fever on his face and said: "Fortunately, I don't know what has been scratched on the inside of my thumb, and the wound is not deep." I'll take care of it. ”

Liu Sanzhi put down Lin Meiyu's jade feet, took out a small flat copper pot from his waist, opened it and put it on the ground, and then took out a pill and a roll of cloth belt from a leather bag on the other side of his waist. Liu Sanyi put the pill in his mouth and chewed it, while lifting Lin Meiyu's jade feet again and gently rinsing the wound with the water in the flat pot.

After about half a cup of tea, Liu Sanzhi finished dressing Lin Meiyu with medicine. Seeing that Lin Meiyu didn't have boots, Liu Sanzhi took off his right foot six-way boots, and was about to hand them to Lin Meiyu, but he felt that something was wrong, tore off the corners of his missing robe, wrung it out and put it into the shoes, and by the way, he also spread the remaining strips of cloth on it.

Liu Sanzhi: "Put it on." Lin Meiyu has been watching Liu Sanzhi busy with a little curiosity. Seeing Liu Sanzhi handing over the boots, he said, "Brother Sanzhi, I wore your boots, what should you do?" Liu Sanzhi smiled and said, "I still have them." With that, he took out a mass of things from another leather bag around his waist and unfolded it, and it turned out to be a pair of grass shoes.

Lin Meiyu finally couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother Sanzhi, why did you bring so many things like a sergeant? I take the liberty of asking, I see how many bags you still have hanging on the leather belt around your waist, what are they?" Liu Sanzhi laughed twice and said: "I have been moving around with my family since I was a child, so I am used to always keeping some urgent things on my body. There are not many, except for knives and copper kettles, and there are five small bags, that is, they contain some pills, salt, needle files and so on. Makes you laugh. ”

The two put on their boots, and Lin Meiyu saw that the velvet on her hand had burned off a small half, and thought about holding Liu Sanzhi's left hand with her right hand. Liu San's heart was surprised and delighted, and he couldn't help but gently shake Lin Meiyu's silky little hand. Lin Meiyu said: "The fire is precious, let's extinguish it first." Let's move forward together. ”

The two of them held hands and walked to the right-hand side. A moment later, Ryu San's right hand touched a mud wall. Liu Sanzhi stopped and lit the velvet with flint. The front of the two was clogged with mud, and water seeped out of the mud. Liu Sanzhi pushed his hand against the mud wall, and as a result, he plunged into the mud with his hands and arms. Lin Meiyu also inserted her hand into the mud wall, sensed it for a moment and said: "The soil is abundant, and the mud wall in front is very thick, and it is impossible to dig it in a short time. We have to go back." Lu Sanzhi nodded and said, "It will be discovered after a long time, so you have to hurry!" The two blew out the fire velvet and walked hand in hand.

The water level in the corridor rose rapidly, and the two of them were about to where they were, and the water had reached the highest stone steps, hitting the soles of their feet. The two of them couldn't help but speed up their pace again, and in the midst of stumbling, the sound of flowing water falling sounded.

The space in front of you seems to widen, and the wind is blowing in front of you. Liu Sanzhi was about to let go of Lin Meiyu's hand to take the flint, but he felt that Lin Meiyu clenched his hand. Liu San's heart was startled, he was busy calming down, listening carefully to the wind, and sure enough, the footsteps and noisy voices of treading water gradually came from the left side of the two.

The two of them were in a hurry, but they didn't know where to hide in the dark. Listening to the voices of people getting closer and closer in the left-hand direction, the two involuntarily retreated to the right, and hurriedly took a few steps back to the road wall.

A little light suddenly came from the darkness opposite, and Liu Sanzhi felt that the crisis was imminent and at a loss, and he was suddenly pulled by Lin Meiyu. Under a glimmer of light, Liu Sanzhi followed Lin Meiyu's finger and saw that there was a stone path flowing downward on the wall on Lin Meiyu's left side.

Liu Sanzhi comprehended, jumped up lightly, hooked the lower edge of the hole above with his hand, lifted his breath and fell into the stone path above, and then leaned down and pulled Lin Meiyu up silently.

A group of people tread water, and torches and oil lamps in their hands lit up all around. Liu Sanzhi and Lin Meiyu were lying in the flowing water of the cave above, and only then did they finally see where they were.

The round stone hall has a radius of more than 20 steps, and is about one and a half zhang high. There are two floors above and below the stone hall, and the seven or eight waterways on the upper floor fall straight into the stone hall, and then flow outward along the four waterways that open on the lower floor opposite the two of Liu San. The person who came had already walked to the center of the stone hall, Liu Sanzhi looked fixedly, and saw the word "thirty-four" on the top of the water dividing stone valve in the center of the stone hall. Liu Sanzhi nodded secretly, and had a plan in his heart.

The people below hurriedly walked towards the two of them, and one of them, who should be the leader, said, "There is only this channel left, brothers." ”

The sound of everyone's footsteps gradually faded away, and Lin Meiyu couldn't help but be anxious. The only known way of being has been blocked, and the other waterways must have been closed as well. The underground waterways of Tianliu Miyagi are extremely complicated, and I don't know anything about it, so I want to come to Liu Sanzhi the same. The two of them touched so blindly, and sooner or later they would be discovered by the palace guards...

The sound of everyone's footsteps was no longer audible, but Liu Sanzhi's disordered mood calmed down. Liu Sanzhi thought for a while in his heart and finally made up his mind, and said to Lin Meiyu in a low voice: "Mei, Meiyu, can you believe me?" In the dark, Liu Sanzhi couldn't see Lin Meiyu's slightly stunned expression, and only after a while did he hear Lin Meiyu's voice: "The grace of saving life is in the front, the love of care is in the back, and in times of crisis, I should make a promise to San's brother Dancheng." ”

Liu San's heart was rippling, and he seemed to see a bright light in the distance in the darkness on all sides. Liu Sanzhi said firmly: "Then please follow me, maybe we can escape from here!"
