Chapter 414: Inside the Yang Gate
The grandfather walked in with a candle, and inside the yang gate, it was similar to the yin and the door, with a white canal on one side and a stone wall on the other. After walking a short distance forward, he suddenly saw that there seemed to be a bright light in front of him, faintly, as if it was firelight, and the master suddenly accelerated his pace.
The white aqueduct soon came to an end, and like the black aqueduct, a beast's head also appeared, and milky white water flowed out of the middle of the fangs of the beast's mouth, and then, the surrounding space behind it became larger, almost the same as in the yin and the door, and further on, there were also stone pillars.
The grandfather tried to extinguish the candle and look at the stone pillar again, perhaps because of the faint fire in front of him, the grandfather did not see the flames spewing out from the stone pillar.
Then he lit the candle and shone it on the stone pillars, which were also engraved with talismans, and the master immediately repeated the old trick, drew out the long sword, and scratched the talisman on the stone pillar while walking forward.
At the end, a small door appeared, at this time, the fire inside the small door jumped, the master stood at the door and looked inside, it seemed to be a tunnel, but this tunnel with a turn, the fire came from the other side of the bend.
The master put away the long sword, blew out the candle, took out the Liangyi Yin and Yang Sword, and carefully drilled into it with the help of the fire in the cave.
Soon, the master came to the bend of the tunnel, turned the corner, a fire appeared on the ground not far away, the master took a closer look, it was actually a torch placed on the ground.
Next to the torch, with his back to the master, there was a person sitting, judging from the figure, it looked like Xiao Laodao.
The master walked over quickly, and as the distance narrowed, the master saw clearly, it was indeed Xiao Laodao, and the master hurriedly put away the Liangyi Yin and Yang Sword, but, for the sake of prudence, the master tried to shout: "Brother Xiao, is it you?" ”
Xiao Laodao didn't move, still sitting there, the grandfather shouted again, Xiao Laodao still didn't move, the grandfather walked behind Xiao Laodao in a few steps, reached out and touched Xiao Laodao's shoulder.
At this moment, Xiao Laodao turned around abruptly and shouted: "Sin, obstacle, suffer death!" ”
As soon as the cold light flashed, the master was shocked, and saw Xiao Laodao holding a dagger in his hand and quickly stabbed it out.
Fortunately, the master was on guard, reacted very quickly, and quickly took a step back, and the dagger swept past the grandfather's two knees.
Stabilizing his figure, the master shouted: "Brother Xiao, don't do it, it's me!" ”
"You're the one who killed!" Xiao Laodao shouted, turned over and stood up from the ground, and grabbed the dagger to attack the master again.
The master hurriedly retreated again, with the help of the light of the torch on the ground, and looked at Xiao Laodao's face, he saw that Xiao Laodao's face was blue and his eyes were misty, as if he was confused by something.
The dagger stabbed him, and he couldn't let the master think too much, so he directly grabbed Xiao Laodao's wrist, "Brother Xiao, wake up, I'm Bingshou!" ”
"You're the one who killed!" Xiao Laodao shouted again, and his other hand slashed at the Taiye's chest, and the Taiye hurriedly parried with his arm, and Xiao Laodao slapped the Taiye's elbow.
Without waiting for the master to react, Xiao Laodao turned his palm up, and hit the door of the grandfather's face again, the master was helpless, and took advantage of the situation to raise his arm upwards again, blocking Xiao Laodao's palm.
Xiao Laodao was like a demon at this time, and he didn't give up, and the other hand holding the dagger slammed outward, and while breaking free from the master, he quickly stabbed the master in the abdomen.
The master was helpless, so he had to retreat backwards again, replacing the knife with his palm, and without waiting for the dagger to stab himself, he quickly slashed at the back of Xiao Laodao's hand, Xiao Laodao suddenly snorted, the dagger in his hand fell, and the master stretched out a kick and kicked the dagger away.
"Brother Xiao, what's wrong with you, wake up!"
Xiao Laodao didn't pay attention to the master, the dagger was gone, and he waved his fists and feet at the master, with a desperate posture that never stopped.
The master concluded that Xiao Laodao was definitely confused by something, and it seemed that he couldn't wake him up by normal means.
Dodging Xiao Laodao's attacking fists and feet, the master drew the two yin and yang swords from his body, at this time, Xiao Laodao slapped him, and the master raised his hand to block it, and at the same time, he quickly bullied up, slashed the two yin and yang swords upward, and stabbed Xiao Laodao's eyebrows.
Xiao Laodao was very mechanical at this time, and he didn't know how to dodge at all, the master's wrist sank, the tip of the sword cut down, and he nodded at Xiao Laodao's eyebrows impartially.
The master grasped it just right, the tip of the sword gently cut through the flesh of Xiao Laodao's eyebrows, and blood gushed out, Xiao Laodao suddenly became excited, stopped attacking, and looked dazed.
"Brother Xiao, are you awake?"
When Xiao Laodao heard this, he looked at the master, raised his hand and touched his eyebrows, a little blood on his eyebrows was stained on his fingers, and he asked instead of answering: "Brother, is it really you?" ”
The master put away the Liangyi Yin and Yang Sword and replied, "Of course it's me, Brother Xiao, are you okay?" ”
Xiao Laodao glanced at the master suspiciously, "You tricked us into the water, and Thirteen has been dragged into the water by you......"
"What?" The master was puzzled when he heard this, "How can Brother Xiao say this?" ”
Xiao Laodao didn't answer the master, turned around and walked back to the torch, picked up the torch from the ground, and then turned around again, looked towards the front of the cave, and suddenly showed a look of surprise, and asked to himself: "Where is the waterhole?" ”
"What waterhole?" Seeing that there was a pit in front of the cave, and there were steps connected to the ground, Xiao Laodao said with a confused face: "This is obviously a waterhole just now, you are standing in the water, and let us go down with you, I asked you how you came here, you didn't answer me, and dragged Thirteen into the water." ”
The master frowned suddenly, and said: "You should have encountered an illusion, I have never been here at all, just now I encountered an illusion in the Yin and the Gate, and I almost fell into the Tao." ”
"Really?" Xiao Laodao glanced at the master again, "Since it is an illusion, then what is it at this moment?" ”
The master was stunned for a moment, "Brother Xiao, what do you mean by this?" ”
Xiao Laodao said: "At this moment, when you and I meet, will it also be an illusion?" ”
"This ......" the master was speechless.
Xiao Laodao stretched out his hand to the master, and the master was even more puzzled, "Brother Xiao, what do you mean by this?" ”
Xiao Laodao said coldly: "Give me your Liangyi Yin and Yang Sword." ”
The master frowned slightly, but he still reached out and took out the Liangyi Yin and Yang Sword from his arms, handed it to Xiao Laodao, Xiao Laodao took the sword and said, "The opening in the center of my eyebrows was cut by you with a sword, right?" ”
The master nodded, and Xiao Laodao said again: "Then you stand still, is it true or not, let me cut a sword in the center of your eyebrows." ”
When the master heard this, his face became solemn, and the whole atmosphere became tense, the master did not distrust Xiao Laodao, but just like Xiao Laodao said, if it was still an illusion at this time, he would just stand still, if Xiao Laodao suddenly made trouble, he would definitely die.
"What, don't you dare?" Xiao Laodao asked coldly.
The master gritted his teeth and said: "Brother Xiao, you are right, you and I are in an illusion, it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, I know that you are forced to do this, I, Liu Niandao, have always been Brother Xiao is friend of life and death, come on!" ”
"Good!"
Xiao Laodao held the Liangyi Yin-Yang Sword and lifted it gently, the Taiye took a deep breath, and the tip of the Liangyi Yin-Yang Sword slowly approached the center of the Taiye's eyebrows.
Seeing that the tip of the sword was about to be next to the center of the master's eyebrows, Xiao Laodao suddenly put the sword back, "Okay, brother, I believe you are real!" ”
The master secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Xiao Laodao returned the Liangyi Yin and Yang Sword to the master, and asked, "Brother, why did you come down too?" What about eleven and twelve? ”
The master briefly told the story, and Xiao Laodao frowned slightly after hearing this, "In this case, we may not be able to get out?" ”
The master nodded, "I don't know who put the stone chair on it back into place, but I couldn't push it away with all my strength." ”
Xiao Laodao asked again: "Can't you go down the cliff at the end of the Yin and Gate?" ”
The master replied: "It's straight and steep, and it's bottomless, I'm afraid I can't go down." ”
Xiao Laodao held a torch and took a picture of the hole in front of him, "I don't know if there is a way out at the end of this yang gate." As he spoke, he turned around and walked to the dagger that was kicked away by the master, picked up the dagger from the ground, and said, "Let's go, let's go down and have a look, Thirteen was dragged into it by the illusion, and life and death are uncertain." After speaking, Xiao Laodao went down the steps, and the master immediately followed behind Xiao Laodao and also went down.
In the beginning, the pit was very large, and the further you went inside, the smaller it became, and the damper it became, and water droplets fell from the top of the cave.
After walking inside, the cave became narrower and narrower, only about three feet wide, and the roof of the cave became much lower, almost within reach, and the water droplets that kept falling from the roof of the cave were some dripping on the torches, making a "stinging" sound of evaporation.
At this time, Xiao Laodao, who was walking in front, muttered: "After walking so far, why haven't you seen thirteen?" As soon as Xiao Laodao said this, a large drop of water fell on the heads of the two people, like a downpour, beating the entire upper body of Taiye and Xiao Laodao, and almost extinguishing the torch.
The two of them looked up at the top of the cave at the same time, and saw that there seemed to be a lot of gaps at the bottom of the cave, and there were many water droplets hanging in the gaps. The grandfather nodded.
The two men continued on, and after walking for a few feet, the cave narrowed again, but at that moment a man appeared in front of the cave, lying on his back on the ground.
Xiao Laodao turned around and gestured to the master: "It's thirteen!" ”
Soon, the two of them arrived in front of Xiao Thirteen, at this time, the cave was narrow and only allowed one person to pass, Xiao Laodao handed the torch to the master, he squatted in front of Xiao Thirteen, probed Xiao Thirteen's nose, checked the pulse, and finally, gestured to the master: "Thirteen seems to be choked by water." ”
The master was puzzled, and Xiao Laodao didn't explain to him, so he grabbed Xiao Shisan's hand, rubbed it softly with his own hands, and softened his right hand and left hand.
After tossing for a while, Xiao Shisan let out a "wow" and squirted out a large mouthful of water from his mouth, and at the same time, there was a "boom" sound from the cave, as if a landslide had fallen, followed by a strange gushing sound.
Xiao Laodao suddenly shouted: "It's not good, it's a torrent ......"
