Chapter Ninety-Four: The Water Curtain Hidden Mystery in the Dark Cave
Naraku stepped forward and hesitated, "What does the owner mean... Could it be..."
"Gongma... Horses..."Feng Xuanyu muttered: "This king wants to use this temporary strategy to find out what is going on!" As he spoke, a subtle sneer crossed the corner of his mouth, and he asked Lin Quan with a sideways face, "Vice General Lin, what are the countermeasures?"
"Lin is stupid! There is nothing to do, and everything depends on the king of Yi. Lin Quan clenched his fists and said sincerely: "Please command the king of Yi!" My brothers gave it their all. ”
Feng Xuanyu raised his eyebrows, glanced at them, and said slowly: "Zhi Jian took Chu Ao to the military camp in the eastern suburbs to select a batch of high-grade and top-grade horses to temporarily make up for the number of lost tribute horses." Adjutant General Nailolin inspected the road with the king, and as far as the king knew, there was another shortcut to the mountain road leading to the military camp in the western suburbs. ”
"Yes!" Lin Quan and others responded.
"Zhuang... What can we do, King of Yi? Zhou Shen was a little dumbfounded, why was he and Yao Fang left with nothing to do? Seeing that they turned to leave, he asked anxiously.
"You guys?" Feng Xuanyu turned his back back, his eyes swept over the two of them, and said coldly: "Stay in the camp for the time being, reflect on it, when you figure it out, and then make plans!"
"This..."Zhou Shen was stunned for a while, but seeing Feng Xuanyu's cold face, he held back his words and glared at Yao Fang fiercely: If it weren't for this kid's nonsense, how could he be left in the camp for reflection! I had to whisper in a sullen voice: "Yes!"
Yao Fang didn't care, he snorted coldly and turned his face away.
Feng Xuanyu took Naluo and Lin Quan to the rear camp, at the beginning, he carefully inspected the mountain-shaped terrain of the training camp in the eastern and western suburbs several times, and found that the Wolf Hidden Mountain military camp was built on the mountain, with a steep back, suspected to be a cliff with no road, but there was a hidden mystery!
"The owner knows that Zhou Shen is innocent, why do you punish him together?" Naraku asked, puzzled.
"The law in the barracks is strict, how can I do what I want and do as I please? Zhou Shen is righteous, but his temper is reckless, this time he was wronged, he was naturally wronged, if he didn't calm down, he was afraid that he would be resentful and act more and more recklessly. Feng Xuanyu glanced at Lin Quan, his eyes were meaningful: "As for that Feiyun leg Yao Fang, he is good at arguing quickly, but unfortunately he is narrow-minded and prone to jealousy, so it is difficult to become a big weapon."
Lin Quan bowed his head in shame when he heard this, and thought to himself: King Yi is really powerful, just two contacts, just a few words can understand their brother's thoughts. "What the king of Yi said is very true! Lin was ashamed and had no way to teach, which made King Yi smile. ”
"It's okay, you are the pride of the rivers and lakes, and it is really difficult to be bound by etiquette." Feng Xuanyu said indifferently: "The rivers and lakes are happy, a pot of wine, and the rules of the military camp are strict and clear, if you are not careful, you will be doomed." If you are involved in the whirlpool, it will be difficult for you to get out of the whirlpool. ”
Lin Quan's heart was shocked, Feng Xuanyu's words seemed to be ordinary and calm at first glance, but in fact, he hit the nail on the head, revealing the dark side.
"If something really happens, it will be difficult for Captain Jiang to protect himself, but I am afraid that he will not have time to take care of you." Out of the rear camp, Feng Xuanyu stood on the edge of the cliff, the cold wind in autumn whistled through, lifted the clothes, flying freely.
"Thank you King Yi for mentioning it, and please ask King Yi to give me advice, Lin Mou listened." Lin Quan's heart was full of thoughts, and he seemed to understand something.
Who knows, Feng Xuanyu smiled indifferently, changed his words, and said deeply: "Since you come from the rivers and lakes, you will return to the rivers and lakes!"
Lin Quan was stunned, could it be that he was figuring it out wrong?
Just when he was puzzled, he only heard Feng Xuanyu say: "It seems that there is no way, there should be a way, wait for this king to go down and take a look!" With that, he jumped and fell off the cliff.
Lin Quan exclaimed: "King Yi, be careful!" But there is no longer a figure of Feng Xuanyu.
"Vice General Lin doesn't have to worry, the owner has his own measure." Naraku patted him on the shoulder.
Sure enough, Feng Xuanyu's voice came from under the misty cliff: "Come down!"
Naluo smiled at him and jumped down first, Lin Quan hesitated and could only jump down hard.
The fog under the cliff is indifferent, lingering around the peaks, like a fairyland on earth.
Lin Quan exclaimed: "If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, I couldn't believe that the cliff was so close to the ground!"
Feng Xuanyu looked up, the cliff was not high from the peak below, just because the fog had not dispersed for many years, and the cliff looked down, and it was impossible to see it clearly, and it was suspected that there was no way to the abyss. He pointed to the thick fog ahead and said, "What you didn't expect is still to come." As he spoke, he used his internal force to disperse the dense fog, and gradually a clear picture appeared in front of him, and a winding path appeared.
Lin Quan was shocked and said, "Ah! Is there a way out? It's incredible! Could it be that the horse thieves used this secret passage to take away the tribute horses? ”
"Maybe you're right!" Feng Xuanyu squinted, leaned over to investigate, and found the horse's hoof footprints: "Follow this road, maybe there are clues to be found!" Anyway, move forward.
Naraku and Lin Quan followed.
After walking for about half an hour, a curtain of waterfalls cascading down from the top of the mountain cut off the trail.
The three of them stopped, and Naluo said when he saw this: "There is only one path in the back mountain, but it has been cut off, I'm afraid there is a mystery in this water curtain waterfall?"
"Could it be..."Lin Quan asked puzzledly, "What does Young Master Nai mean... Can you walk through the water curtain rapids? ”
"Perhaps!" Naraku isn't very sure either.
Feng Xuanyu didn't say a word, raised his head and raised his eyes, his deep eyes stared at the water curtain galloping down, although the water was turbulent, it was as plain as a mirror, and it was not rushing violently. His heart moved, and he said, "You wait here for the time being, and this king will find out!" Feng Xuanyu said that, he flew towards the waterfall, and before the two of them could turn around, he had disappeared in the water curtain waterfall.
It was too late for Naraku to stop it, and he frowned and looked at the waterfall that was rushing down.
"What a hidden moon in the clouds!" Lin Quan exclaimed: "No wonder the third child is chattering all day long, King Yi's martial arts are really unfathomable!"
Feng Xuanyu entered the water curtain waterfall, and the eyes were actually covered with moss, and the splashing water droplets bounced into the cave from time to time, and the sun was not seen for many years, the cave entrance was dark and damp, and a cold swishing coldness came to the face.
There is a dark hole behind the water curtain waterfall? Feng Xuanyu didn't think twice and stepped into the cave. I groped for a while, and my feet didn't feel as damp as before, but the smell of damp mold became stronger, and there was a faint light in front of me.
Feng Xuanyu stopped, and by the faint light, he looked at the dark cave, the walls of the cave on both sides were covered with moss, and the yin qi in the cave was very heavy, and there was no end in sight. Feng Xuanyu didn't plan to return, he always believed that there was a mystery hidden in the dark hole, and sure enough, he took two more steps, and his ears sounded: Boom! One of them took off into the air, and the two hidden weapons clanged and fell!
The corners of Feng Xuanyu's mouth swept over and sneered: Sure enough, it's not an ordinary dark hole, there is actually a hidden weapon!
Feng Xuanyu dodged two hidden weapons, and before the mechanism in the cave found him as an uninvited guest, he leaped like an arrow, and fell back a few times, coming to a wide and deep cave where the wall was transparent and as bright as day.
In the middle of the cave hangs an iron cage that resembles a beast in a training field, a huge oval-shaped iron cage hanging in the air, surrounded by sharp, gleaming iron teeth.
Feng Xuanyu fixed his eyes and saw that there was a cloak squatting in the iron cage, and the black pressure was like a beast. Xu heard the sound of Feng Xuanyu's footsteps on the ground, and it slowly raised its head, revealing its green eyes, projecting an eerie cold light.
As it raised its head and swayed its body, Feng Xuanyu finally saw that it was actually a person! His clothes were ragged and tattered, and his long, dirty hair almost covered his entire face, and he let out a low, irritated roar like a beast when he saw the moon-white and flowing wind.
Feng Xuanyu stepped forward, squinted, and circled around the iron cage, it turned out that his hands and feet were shackled by the iron shackles drawn down from the top of the iron basket, and with his manic swing, there was a rattling sound, and the two thick iron cables that were drawn down in the middle actually pierced the flesh and bones to fix his shoulder blades.
Rao is Feng Xuanyu has experienced a hundred battles and is well-informed, and he can't help but gasp: such a vicious method is really rare! At the same time, he wondered in his heart, who was this person? What heinous sin was committed? To be tortured like this? Who is the one who imprisoned him! Why didn't you kill him when he was so cruel and unkind?
The man in the iron cage roared like a beast for a while, and then gradually quieted down, staring at Feng Xuanyu with green eyes and hatred.
Feng Xuanyu frowned and thought about it, thinking of something, and said in a deep voice: "Isn't the predecessor the top of the Qiankun list, the ghost shadow of the former martial arts alliance leader?"
The man's green eyes froze, and then he was eclipsed, and he raised his head and hissed like the voice of a strange bird, and bowed down to reveal his sorrow.
"Who actually did this to his seniors?" At this time, Feng Xuanyu was even more sure that the strange man in front of him was the top of the Qiankun list, the ghost shadow of the former martial arts alliance leader.
Ten years ago, the various sects in the rivers and lakes gathered to crusade against the taboo Yuyu faction, when Feng Xuanyu had just subdued the barbarian Yemu, and heard a rumor that the martial arts alliance leader Ghost Shadow led the sects to disappear out of thin air after the crusade against the Yuyu faction.
The reason why Feng Xuanyu is sure that this person is a ghost shadow is because he has a pair of green lights like wolf eyes, legend has it that the ghost shadow of the former martial arts alliance leader has a unique skill, coming and going like the wind, few people have seen his true face of Lushan, the only thing that is different from him is that he has a pair of green eyes like a wolf.
When the man heard Feng Xuanyu's words, he instantly lost control, screaming, as if he wanted to express something, but he couldn't speak, and his expression was painful and sad. He threw himself and flopped wildly, helplessly bound with his hands and feet, his shoulder blades pierced, and only the iron chains sounded, and soon he was panting and collapsed in the iron cage.
Seeing this, Feng Xuanyu didn't dare to approach the iron cage easily, with his intuition, the iron cage was by no means as simple as being covered with iron teeth, I was afraid that the mechanism would be heavy, and if he was not careful, he would fall into a catastrophe and die without a place to be buried.
A slight footstep came, and Feng Xuanyu's sword eyebrows sank, and he quickly took off into the air, hiding in the uneven cave wall. The strange man of the iron cage stared at Feng Xuanyu hiding on the cave wall in a daze, his eyes swept over the astonishment, maybe he had been imprisoned in the iron cage for too long, he had forgotten that he had once led the rivers and lakes and dominated the world, and the handsome young man in front of him was so profound in martial arts, which really made him stunned.
Soon, two men dressed in black came out of the deep hole with bamboo baskets.
"Hey, this old man is usually silent, only when the master comes, he goes crazy, today is strange, how can he really tear his heart and roar? Isn't he completely insane? One of the men in black said, put down the bamboo basket in his hand, lifted the lid of the basket, and came to the iron cage. Another man in black flew a dart at the top of the cage, and with a whoosh, the cage opened a gap. The black-clothed man carrying the bamboo basket threw it hard, and the bamboo basket passed through the gap accurately, hit the iron cage, and landed firmly in front of the man.
The man suddenly stopped hissing, and sat motionless, dumbfounded, staring blankly.
"It's really strange today... If it were usual, the old man would have pounced on him..."The black-clothed man who threw the bamboo basket looked puzzled, and couldn't help but turn his head to look around vigilantly.
"Alright, alright! Don't bother yourself, whatever? If you want to eat or not, let's go! The other man in black urged, and he shot another dart at the top of the cage, and the gap closed quickly with a clang.
The two then turned and headed into the deep cave.
Feng Xuanyu waited for the two of them to walk away, jumped down from the cave wall, and came to the iron cage, and saw that the bamboo basket was actually filled with bloody pieces of raw meat. Feng Xuanyu frowned, who was the person who imprisoned the ghost shadow? Why toss him like this? Thinking that Naluo and Lin were still guarding outside the Water Curtain Waterfall, he had to say to the sluggish ghost shadow: "In the wind Xuanyu, it is fate to meet the seniors by chance, but it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, he will come to rescue the seniors one day!" With that, he flew away.
As soon as Feng Xuanyu left, the two men in black came back and looked around, but there was no abnormality, and they were relieved.
"I see you're too suspicious, why do you smell strangers? This ghost place, ten years the same, who will break in? Even if there is an trespasser, I am afraid that he has already died in Huangquan and went to the underworld. The man in black who shot the dart muttered lowly.
It turned out that the man in black who was carrying the bamboo basket shook his head, frowned, and said, "Look! The old man is indeed abnormal today, what does he seem to be thinking? And don't touch the meat in the basket? His body and mind have long been destroyed by his master, where can he think about anything? But you see that he has been in a daze, isn't he stimulated by something? ”
"Let's go, let's go! He looks like this, it's almost like scaring people to death, how can he be stimulated by others! The man in black pulled the other away.
In the iron cage, the ghost shadow's green eyes were lowered, his pupils were dilated, and the whole person seemed to be on the verge of death, and he was powerless to struggle.
Naluo and the others waited for a long time and didn't see Feng Xuanyu come out, they were anxious, and tried to rush into the water curtain waterfall several times, but the water was turbulent, and they were bounced out every time. The two were drenched and embarrassed, so they had to give up.
On the ground, the water flow of the Water Curtain Waterfall was abnormally separated on both sides, and a white figure flashed, jumped out through the Water Curtain Waterfall, and landed in front of the two.
The person who came was Feng Xuanyu who went into the cave to find out!
"Owner!"
"King Yi!"
When they saw the person clearly, the two shouted in unison and shouted in surprise.
Feng Xuanyu had a deep face, bowed slightly, and glanced at them with a frown.
The two of them looked down at their wet clothes, both of them showing embarrassment, and smiled wryly.
Feng Xuanyu seemed to understand something, looked up at the top of the Water Curtain Waterfall, and said to Lin Quan: "Vice General Lin will take the first step, return according to the original way, and see how about stopping the horses they chose?"
Lin Quan didn't know what Feng Xuanyu found when he entered the cave, and seeing that he didn't say anything, and it was not easy to ask, he hesitated, then nodded and said, "Okay!" Then he turned around and went back the way he came.
Seeing Lin Quan walking away, Naluo stepped forward and asked, "Owner, what did you find in the cave?"
Feng Xuanyu roughly described the situation in the cave, and said: "I will send you into the cave later, and secretly observe, who is so vicious to the ghost shadow, especially the two men in black, but you must not act rashly and expose your identity."
"Yes." Naraku was surprised and suddenly realized at the same time: "This ghost shadow is inextricably linked to the theft of Gongma, and the Dafa of Soul Transfer!"
Feng Xuanyu pondered for a moment and said: "The ghost shadow has been imprisoned for many years, and it has penetrated the bone and marrow, and it has long been mad. The question is, who is the person behind the control of him? With the skills of the ghost shadow, no one was invincible back then, but he ended up like this, which shows that the person who controls him is by no means an ordinary person. As he spoke, he glanced at Naraku and said, "You go back to the barracks and change into clean clothes,"
"Okay." Naluo nodded with a wry smile, and remembered something again: "Owner, the smoke dispersed as planned that night, the person who stole the horse should know that someone was helping, but he was able to make the horse disappear out of thin air without knowing it, it seems that this matter has nothing to do with Taiwei Jiang!"
"There are indeed other people who steal horses, and Taiwei Jiang is nothing more than a puppet, and he is still in the dark." Feng Xuanyu squinted, remembering the sad and depressed face of Taiwei Jiang when he came out of the Coral Palace that day, he said in a deep voice: "It seems that he has to give Taiwei Jiang a fierce medicine, so that he will jump over the wall in a hurry and force the person behind him to show his fox tail."
Mo Xuan Ju.
The late autumn evening glows across the sky, casting an indescribable glow that dimly paints the garden into a colorful landscape.
Su Liruo smiled at the corner of her mouth, her face was warm, looking at the glow of the maple leaves, and she was intoxicated by the dreamlike scenery.
Behind her, light steps came slowly, and she didn't call back without looking back: "Xiao Wei, you look at the autumn scenery in the south, it is picturesque, it is incomparable to the northern land, at this time, Yuguo is already cold..."
"Ruo'er's vigilance is already comparable to the sharpness of a top master, so with the flying immortals outside the sky, it is simply a superb!" The visitor jumped into the air and laughed.
