Chapter Ninety-Five: The Strange Stone Cave
In the middle of the night, when everyone was sleeping in a daze, they suddenly heard a burst of crying and laughing sounds, at first faintly, not very clear, and gradually the whole camp was this strange laughter sound, so frightened that the people pulled the big tent tightly in case something came in.
Immediately the lights outside the tent were bright, the noise of people shouting and neighing continued, some bold people, opened a gap in the tent, secretly looked out, the officers and soldiers were all neatly draped, the monks were also in full array, all nervously looking at the entrance of the stone cave, strange laughter kept coming out of the cave, but nothing ran out. Everyone stayed up a sleepless night in this nervous way.
Early the next morning, after all the people had finished eating, some monks and officers and soldiers took the people into the stone cave, and Ah Lang saw that half of the fresh ears were inlaid in the rubble that was pushing, and the blood was still flowing in it.
"Ah...... How can there be an eyeball in this stone!" exclaimed one of the people.
"Wow...... There was a severed foot in this stone. Another man shouted.
Some civilians, officers and soldiers gathered around one after another......
Yes...... Suddenly there were screams from the stone cave.
Many people rushed out of the caves, and some even crawled out. Then there were bursts of roars, the sound of rocks collapsing, and screams. The people outside looked at the cave in horror, and after a long time, the sound slowly disappeared.
A group of soldiers in red armor and dozens of monks entered the cave again.
After a long time, the soldiers and monks came out of the cave unharmed. He urged the people to dig into the cave, but none of them were willing to enter the cave.
"My lord, I'm not going to do it, no matter how much money I give, it doesn't matter if I live!" a man cried.
"My lord, I won't do it anymore, if I die, my wife remarries, my stephusband sleeps with my wife, and spends my funeral expenses, do you say I'm wronged!" another man also shouted.
Immediately, all the people shouted and shouted.
Suddenly, a general shouted: "Don't make any noise, Lord Wei has an order, let's rest for the time being." ”
Then all the people fell silent, and went back to their tents.
A sturdy man in his forties, his eyes open and close, the essence flashes non-stop, sitting in the big tent of the Chinese army.
"Lord Qi Wei, the people have been pacified, what do you think next?" a general bowed.
"Tomorrow morning, continue to let the people dig into the cave. Wei Wang Ye said in a deep voice.
"Lord Wang, more than 3,000 people, nearly 500 people have been killed and wounded, and nearly 1,000 soldiers and monks have also been killed and injured, I'm afraid it will be ...... tomorrow" Before the general finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lord Wei.
"From tomorrow onwards, the people will have fifty taels of silver every day, and there will be brave men under the heavy reward!"
"Yes, my lord!" the general bowed.
"As long as this king can dig up the legendary treasure, what if the people are all dead? There was excitement in Lord Wei's eyes.
In the middle of the night, a sudden storm fell, and the wind blew the tent to sway, and the strange laughter on the ground sounded again, as if it had overshadowed the sound of the wind and snow, as if it were close to the ears, and everyone sat up in fright, and looked out of the tent in horror, for fear that another monster would suddenly rush in.
A scream suddenly remembered, Ah Lang rushed out of the big tent, only to see a white figure, dragging a few soldiers, had already entered the stone cave, more than ten monks chased closely behind, and also entered the stone cave.
Then there was a burst of shouting, shouting, and the sound of angry scolding came from the stone cave.
After a long time, there was silence in the cave, and not a single monk came out of it.
A group of more than 500 people, soldiers in red armor and three elderly monks, rushed into the cave again.
It didn't take long for another noise to sound, and a white-haired monk with only one arm left, his face was pale, and he was covered in blood, and just ran to the door of the stone cave, and his body flew in upside down again, and after a miserable howl, then there was silence again.
Some people quietly opened the big tent and rushed away outside the Jade Vein Mountain.
Soon after, the fleeing folks came back dejected.
"Didn't you run away, what are you doing back?" asked one of the people.
"There are officers and soldiers guarding the intersection of Yumai Mountain, only allowed to enter, not to go out, violators will die!" a bald man sighed.
"Everyone has to fight their luck, run away and die, not a penny, enter the cave and die, but there is still a funeral fee to send home, leave it to fate!" shouted another man.
They all went back to their tents and sat in a daze until the dawn.
"Lord Wang, your personal guards have already injured more than a thousand people, and the monks have already suffered more than 100 casualties, why don't we withdraw first, and think about it?" a general bowed.
"Don't panic, the master invited by this king will arrive early tomorrow morning, and you can naturally sit back and relax. Wei Ziyan said confidently.
"Yes, Lord Wang!" the general bowed and withdrew from the Chinese army's tent.
The next day, all the people didn't eat, and watched from a distance, and walked into the stone cave, a white-haired old man in plain clothes, fairy wind and bones, and a temperament that was free from the world.
Soon after, an earth-shattering sound came from inside the cave, and after a while, the white-haired old man's clothes were neat and fluttering out again. He said proudly to the people: "It's okay, you can go in and continue to work." ”
"Ahh A stout man scolded quietly.
"You're going to die! That's an immortal, you can't scold, be careful that the immortal uses thunder to slash you. Another man hurriedly stopped.
"He is your ancestor, not mine, you can keep it and worship it slowly!"
"You two don't quarrel, go in and work, finish your work early, I don't want to stay here for a day!"
Then another 300 people entered the cave, and Ah Lang just wanted to follow in, but the officers and soldiers stopped him, saying that it was full, and if people went in again, it would be crowded and impossible to excavate.
Ah Lang had to follow the rest of the people, together to clear the gravel, after a long time, suddenly there was a loud roar in the cave, and then there was no sound, that is, there was no sound in the cave, that is, there was no sound in the cave, and the rest of the people did not dare to approach the cave, a team of officers and soldiers under the leadership of the general, courageously came to the stone cave, after a while, the general hurriedly ran out with a group of officers and soldiers, and went straight to the big tent of the Chinese army.
The general bowed and said in a trembling voice: "Lord Qiqi, there is a translucent stone wall in the stone cave blocking the way, and the three hundred people who entered the cave to dig have all disappeared, and there are no traces of fighting or blood in the cave, as if they are ...... It seems that they have all entered the stone wall. ”
Wei Zixin was stunned when he heard this, then looked at the white-haired old man sitting beside him, and said with a smile: "Senior brother, I have to trouble you to check it out for yourself!"
The white-haired old man didn't speak, frowned slightly and nodded, got up and entered the stone cave again under the leadership of the general.
After a long time, a terrifying scream mixed with a furious sound shook the boulders above the cave, and they fell one after another, followed by silence.
At this time, everyone was completely frightened, and all the people rushed to the outside of Yumai Mountain, and the officers and soldiers couldn't stop it at all.
Nearly half of the people escaped from Yumai Mountain, and the remaining 1,000 or so people were suppressed by the officers and soldiers who came later.
"Earthquake in the North Heaven" Wei Ziyan's face was pale, and he was pacing back and forth in the big tent of the Chinese army, and now some officers and soldiers were also afraid, if he hadn't forcibly suppressed it, it is estimated that half of the soldiers would have fled.
"Lord Qiqi, now the army's heart is unstable, the soldiers are not afraid of death, that is not a battle-hardened, honed from the pile of dead, but this into the stone cave, you can't see the other party at all, what is it, no one can come out alive, tell what is in the cave! This unknown fear is the most terrifying! Even the prince's senior brother did not come out, and the others ......" Before the general finished speaking, Wei Ziyan waved his hand violently to interrupt his words.
"The king himself went into the cave and saw what it was!" got up and walked out of the tent.
"Lord Wang, you must not! You are the first person in the army, the pillar of the country, if there is a mistake, the last general and others will be forgiven!" The soldiers in the big tent hurriedly stopped Wei Ziyan.
"Lord Wang, see if you can invite your master to come, you should be able to get rid of the calamity in this place! First, he avenged his apprentice, and second, if his old man can open the stone wall, his face will also be very radiant, and his reputation will spread, it can be said that he will kill two birds with one stone, and there will be no harm in all benefits!" a general pondered.
"That's right, but the master is an old man, his whereabouts are uncertain, he has been practicing outside all the year round, and everyone in the door doesn't know where he is!" Wei Ziyan sighed.
"Ziyan don't be in a hurry, isn't the master here!" Before the words fell, a tall, skinny little old man walked in from outside the tent, although his image was not good, but he had a breathtaking temperament all over his body, and his eyes were even more open and closed, revealing a essence like a substance, so that people did not dare to have the slightest contempt and contempt after seeing it.
Wei Ziyan and the generals in the tent bowed to the little old man one after another.
"While it's still early, go into the cave for the teacher to take a look, Ziyan, you let the remaining more than 1,000 people enter the cave first, and press the formation behind the teacher. The little old man said awe-inspiringly.
Some generals secretly pouted their lips and said in their hearts: Your old man is also the head of a sect, and letting those ordinary people go in is not simply sending them to death, but also calling it "pressing the array"! It can only show that you are also afraid, you are not sure, you are cunning, and you are careless of human life. But he was still polite, and kept praising the little old man for being as wise as the sea, so that he could come up with such a good plan.
Then the officers and soldiers drove all the people to the direction of the stone cave, and everyone retreated in horror, and the officers and soldiers killed dozens of people on the spot, so that the rest of the people were scared, and they were hard-headed, trembling, cautious, and slowly walked to the stone cave.
Ah Lang was squeezed at the back, and he also followed everyone, walking slowly. The little old man didn't urge, he followed behind unhurriedly, without squinting, leisurely brushing his beard and taking figure-eight steps.
The soldiers felt their stomachs tumble over for a while, and some of them almost vomited on the spot.
Ah Lang followed everyone into the stone cave, and saw that the inside was extremely wide, the walls on both sides were also translucent, dozens of zhang wide, and there was a faint white mist in front of them, which could not be seen clearly
Anomalously, there were no corpses or blood left in the cave!Gradually moving forward for nearly half an hour, through the white mist, I saw a large, translucent stone wall in front of me blocking the way.
All the people looked at the huge stone wall in front of them in amazement, and from the stone wall, a huge, hairy arm stretched out, enveloping the entire stone cave, and grabbed the people......
The person in front of him snorted, turned around and ran, and the person who followed closely behind also turned his head and ran back, and suddenly more than a thousand ghosts cried wolf howls, Ah Lang looked at it, and was about to make a move, the little old man behind him, a scold, the energy in his hand shot the giant palm, and after a loud bang, the giant palm did not move at all, without any damage, and the speed was accelerated. The little old man's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly took out a small jade bottle from his arms and threw it at the giant palm, when the small jade bottle was close to the giant palm, it suddenly burst, and the green liquid inside instantly sprinkled all over the giant palm, and a terrible roar came from the other end of the stone wall, and the giant palm was covered with many holes, as if it was corroded by something.
