Because the crown princess was in the car, they didn't go fast.

"Is there any other way to the bottom of the cliff besides that road?" The crown princess opened the curtain and asked Shen Congxi, who was riding a horse next to the carriage. To find Cheng Hanbai, you have to start from this cliff.

Shen Congxi: "This is a mountainous area, that is, mountains on top of each other, this locust ridge happens to be the first barrier on the side of the road, one side faces the road, and on the other side, there are endless mountains stacked on top of each other. Separated by two stacks of mountains, it is the place where the homeless people gather. That road was walked by people, and I didn't find that there was a road nearby. ”

The crown princess thought for a while and asked, "Is there a river on the back side of the mountain?" Do plants grow luxuriantly? ”

Shen Congxi shook his head, and when he saw the princess's disappointed face, he recalled carefully: "Although there is no river, there may be abundant rain, and the plants in the valley grow more lush than elsewhere. ”

"Plants...... What varieties are there? The crown princess became interested and asked.

Shen Congxi smiled: "Crown Princess, you have been admitted to me, I don't even know it, so I didn't pay attention to it." ”

Yu Lang, who was walking behind: "I know the banana tree, and at that time I was afraid that its big leaves would block it, so I turned it over for a while, so I remember." ”

Begonia was overjoyed, and her heart became clearer and clearer. She closed the curtain and said to Xie Ruijiao: "There may be a dark river in the valley." When you go down, pay attention to look for plantains, reeds, or noodle grass, Jin Dai Dai, Ma Lanhua, and welcome... Big ant nest! ”

"I recognize plantains, reeds, and ants, but I don't know what the others are......" Xie Ruijiao was embarrassed.

"Then I'll go down by myself!"

"Don't! You honestly stay up there, I see a suspicious place to kick and step on, right? Xie Ruijiao hurriedly promised. If it is in the palace, Begonia should be confined to the inner hall of the East Palace and not allowed to wander around, right? Now this aunt has to climb the cliff......

When he arrived at Grasshopper Ridge, Xie Ruijiao refused to let go of the heart he was carrying along the way, even if he saw that the begonias were really fine. He glanced at Begonia's belly and smiled: "It must be a leather monkey inside, which can withstand tossing!" He took Begonia down from the car and asked Frost to quickly take the cloak and put it on.

"Let's go down and look for it, and see if there's a dark river." Xie Ruijiao said to Yan Shiyi.

Haitang nodded: "You pay attention to looking for plantains, reeds, noodle grass, Jin Dai Dai, Ma Lanhua, as well as big ant nests and swallow nests, which all like to grow and live by the water." ”

"Swallows? I've seen swallows down there! The tail resembles scissors and is easily recognizable. Cheng Shuangdao.

"Let's go, then!" Yu Lang looked for a few times, but he was already in despair, and now the crown princess suddenly came up with a new idea, and he was ready again. This time the prince is also here, even if the young general is hiding in the soil, he must be dug out!

"Congxi, Ling Xue, and Dark Qing, a few of you and the crown princess stayed on the cliff. Protect the princess and stay safe. Xie Ruijiao said, and before going down the cliff, he added to Haitang: "You put the rainstorm pear flower needle on the hand, and you are not allowed to run around." ”

Bright, the road is easy to walk, but it took most of the hour to go down to the bottom of the cliff. After the princess specially pointed it out, everyone really found some begonia plants, among which the reeds were particularly obvious, and they didn't even notice that the reeds grew along the side of the mountain.

"This bush grows so abruptly," Xie Ruijiao suddenly pointed to a bush with thorns: "There are reeds next to it, but here are thorns, cutting off the reeds alive." There must be a demon when something is unusual, go over and take a look. ”

At this time, Cheng Shuang also pointed up: "That's where I saw the swallow." Look! Swallow! Everyone looked up in the direction of his finger, and there were several brown-backed and white-bellied swallows flying on the side of the mountain, and their nests were built in the grooves of the rocks.

Yu Lang and Ling Feng walked over first, carefully examining the thorn.

"It should be spelled up, and the color of the soil is different. The thorns are drier than the ones next to them. Yu Lang crouched down and brushed away the grass to look carefully at the edges of the two fields.

Everyone gathered around, and sure enough, if you look closely, there is a clear boundary between the dry soil under the thorns under the bushes that are three steps long and wide, and the moist soil under the reeds next to them, but the top is covered with grass, and there is nothing unusual about the plants.

"It also needs such a big entrance and exit so that horses can get in." Yan Eleven Road. He drew his sword and thrust it into the boundary, but it only went down two inches, and he couldn't go any further. He smiled: "This can't be pryed up, there must be a mechanism nearby." ”

Ling Feng immediately circled around the thorn and searched carefully. Yan Shiyi and Xie Ruijiao went to check the rocks behind the thorns.

"There it is! Get out of the way. Yan Shiyi called. I saw his hand reach into a hole in the mountain rock, and felt another stone protruding inside, he tried to press, but there was no movement, Yan Shiyi held the stone and tried to twist it, and the whole thorn slowly sank, revealing a hole in the ground.

An instant. There was a tinkling sound of water running through the cave.

"Dark River!" Everyone shouted in unison.

"The crown princess is really a god!" Yan Shiyi patted the dust on his hands and smiled: "Without her prompt, I estimate that I won't find this place if I look ten more times." Yu Lang was so excited that his face turned red, they have hundreds of men, what are they doing?

"Ling Yun and Cheng Shuang took their own soldiers to pick up and stay outside, Ling Feng, you pick a few people, and we only have ten people to go in." Xie Ruijiao said. Ling Feng saw that there were only the prince, the eleventh master, Yu Lang, Cheng Dan and the five of them who entered the cave. The situation inside is unknown, and it is really not good to go in all of them.

When they entered the cave, it was completely dark, and everyone lit torches, and ten people walked forward along the river with great fear. This is a karst cave washed out by the river, and the top of the cave is two stories high, but it is very spacious to walk on. Xie Ruijiao touched it, and the stone wall was also wet.

In this way, the black rumbling did not know how far they went, and a section of the dark river went into the ground and disappeared, but fortunately the cave continued, and it was still very wet, and after walking for a while, the dark river seemed to play a joke with them, and came out again, and the water began to become jubilant. A bright spot also appeared in the distance.

Several people began to get excited: the exit has arrived! When I walked to the "two points", I found that this was a big hole, and the dark river went out into a clear mountain stream.

"This should be the back mountain of the mountain behind Centipede Ridge, before the guide, this is called Savage Ridge. I didn't know that there was a shortcut from the bottom of the mountain. Yu Lang said: "If the guide is good, this is the homeless settlement." ”

"Shh......h There's a voice nearby! Ling Xue said: "And it's a lot of people. ”

A few people quietly went up a dirt slope by the stream, but they didn't expect that what greeted them was a simple town! A town full of displaced people, a town made up of shantytowns where displaced people live.

However, the town does not look very peaceful now, and there is a quarrel not far away: "No need, copy the guy tomorrow!" We're going to settle on this land. If it weren't for the land, why would we hide in the mountains? There are many of you, but we will arrive first, the rules of the mountain are first-come, first-served, and we will never give in! ”

"You arrived but didn't start using it, it was the wilderness that we only opened up when we came, I remember, the Taiping King, whoever opened the wasteland, who has the right."

"King Taiping? The King of Peace is dead! We don't care about the Taiping King......"

Everyone understands that this is a turf fight between different gangs among the displaced people. The King of Taiping was killed, and these millions of people were left unmanaged, and it was only a matter of time before there was a fight.

Xie Ruijiao made a gesture, and everyone went down the dirt slope and returned to the Dark River Cave the same way.
