Xiao Laodao didn't say a word, he didn't seem to understand this, the master squatted down, looked at a few wood carvings again, and said: "No matter what is going on, using wooden people to collect souls is evil art, I think it is better to burn these wooden figures." "Draft, revised tomorrow.

Xiao Laodao hurriedly stopped, "Before you figure out the situation, it's better to keep it first." As he spoke, he turned his head and instructed Xiao Shiyi, "Take these wooden people away, and wait until you find Xiaoqing and the monkey." ”

Xiao Shiyi hurriedly came over, opened the small baggage, and put the wooden figures into the baggage one by one. Xiao Laodao held a torch at this time, looked at the vertical hole on the stone pillar, and said to the master: "Let's divide the soldiers into two ways now, you take Eleven, climb into the vertical hole above to see, I will take Chu Jiu to other caves to see, whether you can find Xiaoqing and them, after an hour, we will return here to meet." The grandfather nodded.

The rope, Xiao Shiyi, and the burden of the grandfather were all left to the master, and Xiao Laodao left with Xiao Chujiu.

The master held a torch and circled around the stone pillar, the roof of the cave supported by the stone pillar was not too high, only five or six feet high, and the stone pillar was not too thick, and the diameter was only about one foot. The master commanded Xiao Shiyi and asked him to wait below, he wanted to climb up and take a look first. However, Xiao Shiyi pulled the master's clothes and gestured to the master, he wanted to go up first, Xiao Shiyi's meaning, as long as the master supported him below, he would be able to hold the vertical hole, his body was small, and it was easier to drill the vertical hole.

As soon as the master summed up, it was okay to let Xiao Shiyi go up, and when he went up, he would go down the rope and it would be easier to climb up by holding the rope by himself.

Of course, the master is not as strong as Xiao Chujiu, although his hands can also hold up Xiao Shiyi, but he is not as high as Xiao Chujiu, so the master let Xiao Shiyi sit on his shoulders and held him up, and then, Xiao Shiyi stood up on the shoulders of the master himself, and stepped on the shoulders of the master with both hands, and the master put his hands on the same height as the shoulders, and Xiao Shiyi's feet stepped on the master's hands from the shoulders.

Xiao Shiyi held on to the stone pillar, the grandfather screamed with both arms, and lifted Xiao Shiyi up with both hands, the height of the master, plus the raised arms, was close to the height of two meters and five, plus Xiao Shiyi's height was about one meter six, which was almost equal to four meters, and the height of the top of the cave was only five or six feet, that is, about three meters high.

Xiao Shiyi didn't need to climb at all, the upper half of his body went directly into the vertical hole, and then, the master lightly held his hands, looked up at Xiao Shiyi again, and quickly climbed into the vertical hole.

The master asked, "Eleven, how is the situation inside, is it easy to climb?" ”

Xiao Shiyi couldn't speak, and slapped his palm twice, meaning that it was easy to climb, and the master said again: "I'll throw the rope to you now, can you catch it?" "This kind of small hole master also climbed before, and he couldn't turn around after he got inside, and since Xiao Shiyi was short, it was impossible for him to turn around.

Soon, Xiao Shiyi stretched one leg out of the vertical hole, snapped and slapped his palm twice, the master understood, took the rope over, pulled a looper at one end of the rope, and threw it on Xiao Shiyi's leg, the rope sleeve hung on Xiao Shiyi's ankle impartially, Xiao Shiyi was very clever, felt that he was caught by the rope sleeve, and quickly retracted his leg and brought the rope into the vertical hole.

After a while, he slapped his palm twice, and the master asked, "Is the rope tied?" ”

snapped and slapped twice, and the master immediately pulled the rope and tried his strength, but it was okay. took a breath of dantian qi, grabbed the rope and climbed up.

When the master climbed into the vertical hole to see, this vertical hole is not as imagined straight up and down, the whole vertical hole is also horizontal, only the hole mouth more than two feet high distance is vertical, after climbing up, it is a 90-degree big turn, turning the corner, the small hole from vertical to horizontal.

Xiao Shiyi untied the rope from his waist at this time, it turned out that he tied the rope to his waist, kicked the hole walls on both sides with his legs and feet, and fixed the rope for the master with his body, and the master asked him, "Eleven, are you okay?" ”

Xiao Shiyi couldn't turn back, clapped his palms, picked up the torch in front of him, and climbed forward, the master put away the rope, put it on his shoulder, and climbed up with him.

I don't know how far I climbed, Xiao Shiyi slapped his palms twice in front, and followed him to completely lie down.

As soon as he lay down in front, the field of vision of the grandfather looking forward was wide, and the grandfather looked forward, and a small bright spot appeared in front of him, and the grandfather said excitedly: "Hurry up, the front is like an exit!" ”

Xiao Shiyi slapped his palms twice, as if agreeing with the master's statement, so the two of them sped up. The bright spot in front, facing the advance of Taiye and Xiao Shiyi, is getting bigger and brighter.

Suddenly, the eyes of the master and Xiao Shiyi suddenly brightened, and after the eyes adapted to the light, the master looked at it, and he and Xiao Shiyi were deep in a halfway mountainside, in front of him was a large valley, surrounded by mountains, waterfalls and springs in the valley, lush and green, and the scenery was pleasant.

The grandfather brought himself back to his senses, this is obviously the back of another mountain, but the scenery on the back side of this mountain is so good, like a dream fairy island.

Taiye and Xiao Shiyi didn't come to enjoy the beautiful scenery, Taiye looked down at his feet, and saw that under the feet of two people, there was a string of traces of weeds, Xiao Shiyi's reconnaissance ability in the field was much stronger than that of Taiye, Xiao Shiyi squatted down, looked at the traces in the grass nest, and gestured to Taiye: Many are traces of animals, but one is a trace of a person, either a child or a woman.

"Women?" When the master saw it, he hurriedly asked, "Is it a little green girl?" ”

Xiao Shiyi shook his head: I can't be sure.

The master looked up at the sky and wanted to see the hour, but the sky was blue, there was no sun, and there were no clouds, so he could only see that it was daytime, and he couldn't see the specific time.

The master wanted to follow the traces down to the valley, but he was afraid that he would be delayed for too long and miss the time to meet Xiao Laodao.

The master said to Xiao Shiyi: "You take the rope, go back along the cave, wait for your master and your senior brother, and I will go to the valley to have a look." The master handed the rope on his body to Xiao Shiyi, but Xiao Shiyi stood still, the master understood his thoughts, he was a little worried, and the master said: "You don't have to worry about me, I will make marks along the road, after you meet your master, hurry up and meet me." ”

When Xiao Shiyi heard this, he hesitated, took the rope and went back to the cave. The grandfather followed the traces in the grass nest and walked down the mountain.

The mountain where the master is at this time is not steep, only a slope of 30 degrees, and it is not high, it is easy to go up and down, but the vegetation is unusually lush, seeing that it is almost the end of autumn, it is still full of life here, and the wild grass does not even show a little sign of yellowing.

After descending to the bottom of the mountain, the traces of the wild grass became more obvious, leading to the depths of the valley, and the master continued to walk along the traces. After walking not far, there was a forest in front of him, and when he walked to the forest, he looked into the forest, and saw that the trees in the forest were also very lush, and all of them were towering old trees, and the thinnest one was also a hug of thickness, which made the master feel strange that the ground in the forest was clean and clean, not even a single grass, not to mention the grass, there was not even a single leaf, and the ground seemed to have just been swept over.

The master stood on the edge of the forest and hesitated, because which forest can not grow an inch of grass, even if someone takes care of it, it is impossible to take care of it so cleanly, I have to say that this forest is a little abnormal and weird. Moreover, such a large forest is actually quiet, not to mention the cries of birds, not even the crickets.

The master looked at both sides of the forest, and both sides couldn't see the end, and he couldn't get around it if he wanted to, so he had the idea of waiting for Xiao Laodao and them to come over, and looked at what Xiao Laodao meant, but then he thought about it again, my dignified dragon slayer hero didn't dare to walk into the forest in front of him, and how could he gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes when he passed it out?

The master gritted his teeth and walked into the forest.

There is no road in the forest, and there is no obstacle, and it is considered a road wherever you go, and it feels soft when you step on the ground, just like stepping on a cotton sleeve, and after walking for a while, the master will stop and touch the ground with his hand, which is extremely hard, but when he gets up and walks forward, he feels that the ground is soft, and when he stomps lightly, the surrounding land will be like the surface of the water, rippling, and the ripples will affect the trees, and they will shake together, which is very weird.

While walking, the master would mark the tree he walked on, but the Liangyi Yin and Yang Sword was engraved on the tree, and the tree body could actually flow bright red blood. This is my grandfather, if I were someone else, I was afraid that I would have turned around and ran back in fright.

After walking in the woods for an hour, the master finally walked through the forest, stood at the end of the forest and looked out, it was actually an endless flat land, loess surface, not a single grass grew, and the surrounding mountains were gone.

Looking further away, the ground in front of him was shiny, it seemed to be a big river, the master looked back at the strange forest behind him, and then looked into the distance a few times, and couldn't understand where he had come. I looked at it on the mountain before, it should be a valley, surrounded by mountains, but at this time, why has everything changed?

The master continued to walk forward, walked to the river in one breath, and saw that it was really a big river, at least twenty or thirty zhang wide, and the river was clear and visible, but it did not flow, just like a static one.

The master walked to the river, picked up the river water and drank a few sips, it was clear and sweet, and his spirit was lifted. At this time, the grandfather unexpectedly found that not far from his side, there were two shallow shoe prints, and the master hurriedly walked over to take a look, the shoe prints were very narrow, either a pair of children's shoe prints, or a woman's shoe prints.

The master came to the spirit, and if he couldn't keep the shoe print, it was Xiaoqing's, even if it wasn't Xiaoqing's, he could meet someone and ask.
