One hundred and forty-two, a hole out of thin air
In the end, Yu Yu got on the high car accompanied by the two sisters, Tangxi and Moyao. Yingfeng and Zimo rode horses to escort the car that invited rain. Zhu Rong is also a person who can't ride a horse, and the tall car is too low for it to get into. Lu Zhen specially transferred a two-person chariot to sit for Zhu Rong.
Because Lu Zhen needed to sit in the army, and he was not worried about the emperor's safety, he specially sent the most elite team of people in the Zhenxi army to protect Tuoba Tao. Several of the martial arts who had been named to perform martial arts in the school field that day were also among them.
In addition to the personnel, there were also a lot of food, water, tents and other supplies, and ten high carts were fully loaded. This group of people and horses just went on the road in a big way, and it really looked like they were going to the wilderness.
The group stayed day and night, but arrived at Yinshan in two days. Invite Yu looked at the barren hills, and suddenly lost all interest. There are not even a single tree on this mountain, except for grass and shrubs, and many of them are simply slick dirt bags.
Tuoba Tao looked at Yin Mountain and frowned, this kind of place, you can see the top of the mountain at a glance, those who are missing, if you say that you are lost on the mountain, it is really a little reluctant. In that case, where have all those people gone?
Although the high car can walk freely on the grassland, it cannot climb the mountain. Invite Yu finally got out of the car, rode the same horse with Mo Yao, and walked up the slowly rising hill with the group.
"You can see the top of the mountain here, what else is Your Majesty going up to do?" Invite Yu complained a little.
Tuoba Tao looked ahead and snorted, "Could it be that you will be allowed to take those three years of discs for nothing?" β
Invite Yu pouted, thinking that it was going up and down anyway.
Everyone was concentrating on going up the hill when suddenly there was a terrible neighing of horses. The first reaction of Zimo and the others was that the horse who invited the rain was shocked. only to find that she happened to be sitting on the horse with Mo Yao. At this time, everyone searched for it, and found that it was the person in charge of the pathfinder at the front of the team, and his horse seemed to have stepped into a hole, and half of the horse's body went down, leaving only the front half of the body stuck there and struggling.
Tuoba Tao immediately dismounted and rushed over. Grabbing the horse's chew, he yelled and pulled the horse back. This time he attracted a burst of applause from the Wei soldiers who were traveling with him.
Invite the rain and they also came forward at this time. Invite Yu looked at the hole in the ground, and was a little strange, "How can there be a hole for no reason?" She picked up a pebble and threw it down, and it took a while to hear the sound of landing, "It's quite deep." β
Zimo pulled her back, "Be careful." Maybe the missing people just fell into the hole. β
Tuoba Tao also felt the same way, so he ordered, "Find some ropes, light torches, and send someone down to have a look." β
Everyone looked around the cave, but Yingfeng found something, probed around, and picked up a stone from time to time to weigh it.
When the ropes and torches were ready, everyone was still a little hesitant, unwilling to be the first to go down, Yingfeng stepped forward, "I'll go down and have a look first." β
In this team, if you talk about kung fu, it is best to invite rain. But she was obviously not going to be allowed to go down. Zimo only cares about the safety of Invite Yu, and he is not curious about the rest. So Yingfeng became the best choice.
Tuoba Tao thought about it and nodded, asking people to tie a few more knots on Yingfeng's body. Yingfeng was slowly lowered from the entrance of the cave.
Ying Yu stared at the rope that was put down, and it was not until the rope was three zhang long that the other end of the rope was pulled by Yingfeng, signaling him to the end. Everyone waiting on the ground was so nervous that even Zhu Rong couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Invite Yu shouted into the entrance of the cave, "Senior brother, can you hear me?" β
After a while, the inside replied, "Yesβ"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that there was no danger below.
Tuoba Tao made a move, "Send a few more people down." β
Soon another group descended into the cave. After a full hour, just as Invite Yu was waiting a little impatiently and wanted to go down in person, Yingfeng was first hung up from the hole.
Invite Yu immediately stepped forward, "How is it?" What's inside? β
Ying Feng first glanced at Tuobatao, then shook his head, "Nothing." It's a big, big hole. It was so big that the torches we brought down didn't shine far, so we walked along the cave wall and found nothing. β
Tuoba Tao asked, "Haven't you seen those who have disappeared?" β
Ying Feng shook his head again, "I didn't see it." β
Tuoba Tao frowned, "That's weird. β
Ying Feng asked rhetorically, "Dare to ask His Majesty Emperor Wei, how many people are missing?" β
Tuoba Tao thought about it, and felt that there was nothing to hide, so he replied, "There are about ten households reported from Huaishuo Town. β
In just a small town, ten people are missing. That's a bit weird.
At this time, Zong Ai also came over. Tuoba Tao looked at him, and when he saw that Zong Ai also shook his head, he knew that the group of people who went down behind him didn't find anything.
Zong Ai said cautiously, "Your Majesty, the servant sees that this is indeed a bald mountain, why don't we go back earlier." β
While Zong Ai was talking, Tuoba Tao noticed that the Wei soldiers and soldiers accompanying him were all talking, so he asked Zong Ai, "What's the matter?" β
Zong Ai said with some concern, "Many of our people believe in Buddhism. In Buddhist scriptures, it is often said that there are eighteen levels of hell after death. You look at the hole in the ground, it's pitch black, and it doesn't look like it was dug by someone. They suspected that this was the entrance to hell. Those who disappeared have fallen into hell, so they are born and dead......"
"Nonsense!" Tuoba Tao scolded, "If that's the case, why are our people okay if they go down!" β
Zong Ai reluctantly squeezed out a smile, "Your Majesty is a true dragon emperor, and he has dragon qi to protect his body. Besides, don't we still have a fairy here? Naturally, it will be safe. β
Invite Yu to pout, Tuoba Tao may be a real dragon emperor, but she is a real fake.
Tuoba Tao saw that some of the soldiers were obviously frightened, their faces turned white with fright, and they couldn't help but say angrily, "My soldiers of Great Wei are not afraid of swords, mountains and fires, they are actually scared like this by a hole!" and commanded him to go down and camp on the spot. β
Ying Yu didn't want to spend the night in this wilderness, and just as she was about to object, she was gently pulled by Zimo, and she immediately shut up with a clear heart.
The terrain here is gentle, and it is not difficult to set up camp. But everyone was trembling, and they didn't even dare to walk steadily, for fear that they would step on the top of the hole too hard and the whole team would fall.
As soon as the tent that invited the rain was set up, he pulled Zimo into it.
"What's wrong? What did you find? Invite Yu confirmed that there was no one around, and then asked.
Zimo shook his head, "It's not me." It's a winning wind. β
"Winwind?" Invite Yu was puzzled, "Didn't he say there was nothing in the cave?" β
Zimo said, "I looked around before I saw him go down. I also picked up a stone and put it away. β
"Stones?" Invite the rain to be confused.
"Fang Cai Tuoba Tao is also here, he may not be telling the truth." When Zimo said this, he turned his head to look at the entrance of the tent.
Invite Yu also sensed the breath of Winfeng, "Since Senior Brother is here, come in." β
