Chapter 22: The Secret Passage
The three of them packed up and prepared to go out, during which they were worried that the fat man would have an accident at home alone, so everyone worked together to get him to the old man Zhuo's room and let him lie on the bed, and locked the door, this is afraid that the fat man would feel puzzled if he woke up, Shen Jinsan also left a note by the bedside.
In the middle of the night, Old Man Zhuo took them to a remote forest not far from the ancient well in Longjing Village, where there was a very hidden low and barren tomb made of small stones, and the grave was overgrown with weeds.
In front of the deserted grave, there was a stone tablet engraved with the word "Wu" the size of a washboard, and the old man Zhuo told Shen Jinsan and Wu Xin that this was the entrance to the secret passage into the cave, and the word Wu was the nickname of Yue Fei "Wu Mu".
Old man Zhuo asked Shen Jinsan and Wu Xin to move the stele and the stones behind the stele to the side, and after emptying, a low hole that could be drilled into was revealed, Shen Jinsan looked at Old Man Zhuo suspiciously, and the old man knew what he was thinking at a glance, so he told Shen Jinsan that this secret passage was told to him by his mother later, and he never thought that he would enter the cave again in his life, and he didn't expect that this time it would really come in handy.
"You wait!" Shen Jinsan wanted to take the lead, but as soon as the cat bent down, he was stopped by Wu Xin: "Uncle Zhuo said that this secret passage should have been used by no one for a long time, do you want to be stung to death by the poisonous insects living inside, please flash to the side, and then all the actions will be commanded by me, Uncle Zhuo, do you think this is okay?" ”
"Okay, that's it!" Old Man Zhuo agreed, fortune telling and feng shui, he should be the best, and it is more appropriate to hand over this kind of work to the more professional Wu Xin.
I saw Wu Xin take out a small incense burner from her bag that she could hold with one hand, open the lid of the incense burner hollow and carved, and she could see that there was a pale yellow thing like soap inside, she lit this thing with fire and then covered the incense burner, and then continued to emit a slightly pungent white smoke.
Wu Xin picked up a fairly sturdy branch in the dry grass pile next to him and broke off its branches, looked around, and after making sure that there was no one else, she waved at Shen Jinsan and them, she grabbed the incense burner with one hand and got into the hole.
The secret passage is very long, a little stuffy and a little downward, and from time to time there are a few scorpions and centipedes that come out of the mud hole and run around, but they are all killed by Wu Xin with a dead branch, this girl's experience is still quite old-fashioned.
The three of them had a hard time crawling on the cobwebs, and it was then that Shen Jinsan understood the benefits of wearing night clothes, at least the insects would not get into the trouser legs and collars.
Wu Xin said while picking up the roots of the tree that penetrated from the ground: "The ointment in the incense burner is made by myself, adding sulfur and some herbs can be used to repel insects, and the ashes of the burning embers can also stop bleeding and disinfect when applied to the wound, and I will try and drink, every time my father receives a job, I will do some, compared to the things in the grave, I am still most afraid of these insects, who designed this secret passage How is it so narrow, and it seems to be a thief!" ”
Old man Zhuo responded: "It's not easy to open a tunnel in this mountain full of stones, girl, don't be disgusted, my old man got into it from a well, not only got water, but was almost eaten by a dragon!" ”
Shen Jinsan: "Yes, you must be careful when you go down later, I and the old man have been here, Wu Xin, you follow us, that thing is chained, as long as you don't get close to the waterfall, it's fine." ”
Old Man Zhuo: "There are some things that I haven't figured out, even if Yue Fei's corpse is transformed, but there is a Nine Evil Soul Locking Array pressing, why bother to ask the disciples of the sect to guard it for generations, if it burns at the beginning, it should not bring any misfortune to the descendants of the Yue family, if it really will cause trouble to the Yue family, with the ability of the Heavenly Machine Dao people, it must be resolved in other ways, why do you need to work hard for a little thing, your mother didn't tell me which faction she was taught from, so I can't find out, However, judging from the attainments of the ancestor of their sect in Qimen Dunjia, it is definitely not an ordinary small sect, this time with the help of the girl, I hope to solve the doubts in my heart for many years! ”
In fact, the one who wants to know the answer the most should be Shen Jinsan.
The sound of gurgling water could be heard as he spoke, and the secret passage finally made a nine-degree turn, and the three of them climbed out one after another through the vines hanging at the entrance of the cave.
Shen Jinsan felt strange, why didn't he find such a hole hidden behind the vine when he ran away with the fat man, as the old saying goes, a leaf is just right, if he and the fat man fell off and fell to their deaths on the stone stalactite, it would be really wronged.
The fresh and pleasant air came to his face, Wu Xin stretched his neck and couldn't believe it, because with a flashlight, the underground world was green everywhere, and the stream was clear and crystal tinkling, where it looked like a place to bury the dead.
But when Wu Xin suddenly found that many insects as big as earth dogs were being attracted by the light and slowly crawling over, he immediately screamed and hid behind Shen Jinsan like an ordinary girl.
Strangely, these insects seemed to be suddenly frightened, and they fled in a panic.
"Shhhh ...... Be quiet, girl! ”
Seeing this, Old Man Zhuo hurriedly covered Wu Xin's mouth, because there was a dragon nearby, and if he brought it over without being ready, he was afraid that he would not be able to eat and walk around.
"Roaring ......"
Said Cao Cao Cao arrived, there was a low sound like thunder rolling in the dark, and when I heard it, I knew that someone had broken into my territory, and Jiaolong was issuing a warning.
"Hurry back!"
Shen Jinsan opened his arms to protect the two of them and quickly retreated.
Wu Xin swept it with a flashlight, inadvertently illuminated the dragon's bull's eyes, the three of them couldn't help but feel a chill down their spines, but fortunately they retreated in time, it turned out that this cunning beast had already hidden his whereabouts and quietly leaned over, and when he was found at this moment, he was only three or four feet away from them, if it weren't for the dragon who couldn't bear to let out a low roar, I'm afraid that some of them would have already been reduced to their meals.
"Oops! It's all messed up! Old Man Zhuo muttered, he was annoyed in his heart, this girl was really reckless, he originally wanted to lure Jiaolong out when he was ready, and the three of them could easily enter the underground palace of King Yue's tomb after they subdued it, but now he was caught off guard by it, how should this be good.
