Chapter 174: The Strange Shadow of the Stone Cave

When the fire is lit, the person gradually warms up.

Xu Yongzhi divided the cheese and dried meat in the bag among Kou and Xiaogui.

"I miss my bed at home." Coco looked sorry.

"I still want to go to the front and have a look," Xiao Gui said, stretching the torch into the fire and lighting it, "If you don't explore the front, if there is any danger, it will be bad." ”

"I'll go with you." Xu Yongzhi kept up with Xiaogui.

"Hey, don't go!" Tian Kokou said.

She looked at the cave walls, her long shadow shaking on them.

"Hey, wait for me!" She saw that the backs of the two men were about to disappear into darkness, and hurried to follow.

"The wind is coming from the other side of the mountain." Xiaogui said.

"So what?" Tian Kokou asked.

"We don't have to climb the iceberg anymore, maybe there is a way to the Peach Blossom Spring." Xiaogui said.

"That's the best, I really injured myself climbing the mountain today, and I kicked in the air several times." Tian Kokou said.

"The style of wizards should also have such a way." Xiaogui said.

She thought of the secret passage in Lin Quanzhen's house, and she once escaped from there with Xu Xiaoduo.

"That's right, like that secret passage in my house."

The passage was not particularly deep, that is, half a mile up and down, and they saw another exit.

But it's not a horizontal exit, it's a shaft-like, upward exit, from which you can see the starlight.

"Found it." Xu Yongzhi looked up, where it was, I don't know yet.

"It's hand-chiseled, and there is no bird or animal droppings or branches underneath, so it's obvious that someone has cleaned it." Xiaogui touched the stone wall and pondered the secret of this well.

Tian Kokou saw the stars, gradually regained her courage, and also began to observe the stone wall, touched it, and found a crack.

"It's like a door," said Tian Kokou, "and you come and see." ”

Xu Yongzhi touched it, and Tian Kokou grabbed his hand and pressed it on the crack of the door.

"It's a stone gate, indeed." Xu Yongzhi touched it carefully.

"I guess it's a treasure trove in there." Tian Kokou said.

The wizard's children would explore some of the depths of the Peach Blossom Land when they were young, and legends about the treasures of ancient wizards have always existed, but unfortunately, such things have never been found.

"I'm guessing it's a tomb in there." Xiaogui didn't want to scare Tian Kokou, but she really felt so, her heart has always had such a sad background.

"I think it's a living person living in it." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Cousin, are you always so optimistic?" Tian Kokou asked.

"Not really, but I think there are people here who are clean and take care of it, and they should be alive." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Who would want to live in such a high mountain, where the wind is strong and cold, and this is not suitable for human habitation at all." Xiaogui said.

"Maybe it's a high-ranking person, but one thing is certain, if it's a living person living inside, he won't like Yu Sanjiang." Xu Yongzhi said.

"It may have turned into a pile of bones, after all, the people who oppose the Wizards' Guild now have either joined us or are gone, but if you can go in, maybe you can listen to the teachings of the dead like you did last time you met the emperor, or find some suicide note, it is also valuable." Xiaogui said.

As soon as the words fell, she saw Tian Kokou trembling.

"Xia Xiaogui, do you have to scare me like this?" Tian Kokou asked.

"Scaring you? Where to start? Xiaogui was by her.

"I can't listen to ghosts in a dark, confined place...... I ...... "Tian Kokou trembled violently.

"Ahh So you're afraid of ghosts! Xiaogui said.

"It's not that I'm afraid of ghosts, the three of them can't talk about ghosts, otherwise ghosts will really appear! Two or four are fine, but three are not. Tian Kokou said.

"Is this a wizard's superstition?" Xiaogui asked with a grin.

"Not superstition, you believe me!" Tian Kokou said.

"I didn't expect you to be afraid of ghosts, Longhu Mountain is a ghost hunter, I'm not afraid of ghosts." Xiaogui said.

"You always have something to be afraid of." Tian Kokou said angrily.

"Yes, I'm afraid of big spiders, the kind bigger than fists, and I can't walk when I see them." Xiaogui said.

"Cousin, what are you afraid of?" Tian Kokou looked at Xu Yongzhi.

Xu Yongzhi sighed, he didn't know what he was afraid of, he had been making medicine for so many years, all kinds of insects, snakes and beasts were not a problem, and he didn't seem to be particularly afraid.

"Oh, by the way, you're afraid of Forsythia!" Tian Kokou said loudly.

Xu Yongzhi really shuddered when he heard this name.

He looked around, of course there was no one around, but he still felt that shouting the name of Li Lianqiao would bring unforeseen danger.

Loud girls are really a headache, but Kou has lived in Yuzhou for many years, and she talks like the people there, full of momentum.

"It's too cold here, let's go back to the fire, there will be light coming down from above after dawn, and we'll explore the stone gate." Xu Yongzhi hurriedly diverted the topic.

Xiaogui was a little annoyed that Tian Kokou mentioned Li Lianqiao, and suddenly pointed to the stone wall: "Who is that figure?" ”

Tian Kokou screamed, and the whole person curled up and jumped, and jumped on Xu Yongzhi's body at once, wrapping his arms around his neck.

This made Xiaogui feel a little remorseful, this girl is really afraid of ghosts, there is no need to scare her, scare her into the arms of her husband, everyone is embarrassed.

"Get down!" Xu Yongzhi's voice was low, but full of majesty.

"No!" Tian Kokou buried her head in Xu Yongzhi's shoulder.

"Come down, or I won't be able to draw my sword." Xu Yongzhi's words are serious.

"Don't lie to me, you two are bad people!" Tian Kokou said.

"It's not a ghost, it's a monster." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Huh?" Now Tian Kokou jumped off the ground, where is it?

Familiar things are not afraid.

"Xiaogui, don't move." Tian Kokou looked at the stone wall opposite.

"You're scaring me again," said Xiaogui, "so I won't eat it." ”

"Xiaogui, you really don't move." Xu Yongzhi said.

What Xu Yongzhi didn't dare to tell Xiao Gui was that there was an eight-legged strange figure hanging upside down on the top wall of the stone cave.

There are many, many hairs on the feet.

A two-person wide, orange and black spider hung upside down behind Xiao Gui, and two giant black eyes stared at the three people.

Xiao Gui saw Xu Yongzhi's serious look and knew that it was not a joke.

"Now come slowly towards me, slowly, slowly." Xu Yongzhi said softly.

The spider raised one of its paws, and the thing looked like a knife.

If you raise your sword above your head, the distance between the enemy and you is half a sword, and if you are in your hand, then the distance between you is a sword.

Xiaogui is now under the spider's butcher's knife.

She moved slightly, and the spider reacted slightly, but not much.

Kou Kou nervously prepared the fireball technique, if the spider really wanted to hurt Xiaogui, he could only take the risk of detection and exposure to come to the rescue.

"yes, a little bit further." Xu Yongzhi said.

Xu Yongzhi opened his arms and waited for Xiaogui to slowly move into his arms.

He hugged his woman tightly in one hand and the sword in the other, and was not afraid of it now.

"Hey, you two, can you scare off spiders just by cuddling and hugging?" Tian Kokou lowered her voice, urging them to continue to retreat.

But at this moment, Tian Kokou saw the guy in Xiaogui's hand.

Between her fingers, there were three throwing knives.

This woman has always been prepared second-hand, and she will never rely only on the arms of men, even if the other party is Xu Yongzhi.

Xiao Gui turned around, and the three of them faced the spider together.

"Talk to it," Xu Yongzhi said to Tian Kokou.

Also, you can talk to all birds and beasts, and spiders should be too.

"What are you talking about?" Tian Kokou asked.

"Ask if it's willing to help us up." Xu Yongzhi said.

"What are you kidding, do you dare to trust this kind of thing?" Tian Kokou was taken aback.

People's attitudes towards animals have always been divided into three, six, nine and so on.

The closest thing is to be a companion, such as a ploughing ox, a riding horse, a hunting dog, a cat catching mice, and a talking parrot;

the second class is high-value and docile animals, such as deer, sheep, wild horses, and elephants;

the third class is fierce beasts, such as wolves, jackals, tigers and leopards;

The fourth class is ugly animals, such as crocodiles, rhinoceros, hippos, monitor lizards, and toads;

The fifth class is all kinds of bugs.

Wizards choose partners, and so do priorities, partners like spider ants, mostly one-time partners, summoned to attack enemies, to cooperate with a spider, and a dignified wizard will not open this mouth.

"No kidding, this stone wall, it can go up, its silk is extremely tough, it should be able to pull us up, if it is willing to help, many things will be simple." Xu Yongzhi said.

"I don't want it!" Xiaogui's scalp is numb.

Kou Ko looked at Xiao Gui's trembling appearance, and suddenly felt that Xu Yongzhi's idea seemed to be good, and she whispered to the spider in a language other than human.

"How?" Xu Yongzhi asked.

"It doesn't want to." Coco said.

"Thank goodness." Xiaogui said.

"But it suggested that we go and meet its owner, and when the master nods, it can send us away." Coco said.

"What, does this spider have an owner?" Xu Yongzhi asked.

"That's right, cousin, you're right, the owner of this spider is right behind this stone gate." Tian Kokou said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the two stone doors creaked back and slowly opened, and when they reached a narrow slit, the spider crawled sideways into the stone house.

Oil lamps are lit on the walls of the stone house.

If there is a lamp, it is a living person, Tian Kokou breathed a sigh of relief.

An old voice inside opened its mouth to the three young men.

"Come in, grandson!"
