Chapter 213: The Mysterious Cave
Sun Daoxian held an umbrella and looked helplessly at the person squatting under the tree, with a faint look of worry between his eyebrows, "You are such a big man, my umbrella can't cover two people, cover you, and get myself wet." ā
In fact, Sun Daoxian really had never seen Chunxiu crying like this, and her crying was mixed with despair. In fact, he also understood that the Liwang couple seemed to have encountered a catastrophe of life and death, and if they didn't get it right, they would lose their lives, and Shen Zhi's rash involvement was undoubtedly only a waste of life.
But now, Shen Zhi has disappeared, what else can he do?
Chunxiu wiped the tears on her face fiercely, but her eyes were hot, and there were still hot things rolling out of her eyes.
"Don't cry!" Sun Daoxian was holding an umbrella, but he was drenched in the rain, "Are you crying...... It's fat, ugly, ugly, and ugly! If you don't cry, you're a happy fat man. ā
Bo Yu's eyes were scarlet, "I don't believe I can't find Shen Zhi!" This place is so big, it must be hidden! It's been so difficult last time, and this time it's definitely okay! Absolutely! Auntie, don't be discouraged, we can definitely find it, even if we don't believe in ourselves, we should believe in Shen Zhi! ā
"Look, Bo Yu is right, self-pity is the most useless. Who knew you were crying here? With this strength, it's better to look for it, maybe Shen Zhi has already found it when you cry? Isn't it? Sun Daoxian looked at the damn rain, and his whole face twisted.
Chunxiu stood up, her face pale and pale.
It seems to make some sense!
"Crying is the most useless thing." Sun Daoxian stuffed the umbrella into Chunxiu's hand, "The more critical the time, the more you have to protect yourself, if you turn around, you have to have someone to serve you, let alone find Shen Zhi!" ā
"Here, here!" Ah You seemed to have discovered something amazing, "Childe, the slave found a cave at the bottom of the mountain, there seems to be something in it, it's very strange, I don't know what it's used for." Now, the slave has let people keep an eye on it, Childe, do you want to take a look? ā
Bo Yu's eyebrows condensed slightly, "Let's go!" Check it out! ā
"Yes!"
Everyone followed, and they didn't know what was in this strange cave.
"Could it be a blood hole?" Haru-so asked.
"I've thought about this question too, but I don't think it's likely to be a blood hole." Bo Yu's face was gloomy, "The fifth uncle's hiding place is so secret, if he can be found in this way, how can he hide for so many years?" ā
Sun Daoxian nodded, "Makes sense!" Reasonable! ā
"Look, it doesn't look like a blood hole, it's a bit like an altar or something, and some of the spells are very weird!" Ah You paused, and looked at Bo Yu thoughtfully, "Childe, why don't you go in for the time being, let's go and have a look first?" ā
The little prince has been lost, if something happens to Bo Yu again, what will it be?
I'm afraid that if you are a dry person, you will have to follow the funeral.
In the hidden place under the mountain, there is indeed a cave.
"If it hadn't rained and washed away a little of the mud and sand around the cave, we wouldn't have been able to find the cave. The entrance to the cave is covered with weeds and rattan, and even if you look closely, you may not be able to see the clues. The servant went inside to take a general look, only to think that it was very strange inside, and it didn't look like an ordinary natural cave, and there were some traces of artificial excavation on the walls. ā
When they arrived at the entrance of the cave, the rain outside was heavier, and Bo Yu let everyone follow them into the cave.
A few men were left to guard the entrance to the cave, and the others followed into the cave to have a look.
Chunxiu silently stroked it, pinned the pig-killing knife behind his waist, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, Sun Daoxian was so frightened that he was scared to death, curled up and hid behind Chunxiu, using Chunxiu as a shield, and walked so that he was tiptoeing.
Ah You protected Bo Yu and slowly walked inside, "The moss on the rock wall, looking very new, should have grown recently, and the color is not deep, so the slave thinks that there should be someone in this cave who has been active here recently." ā
"In the near future?" Bo Yu hesitated a little, "Aren't they the fifth uncle in the near future?" Either that, or that land monster. ā
Could it be that this is Lu Rujing's lair?
Thinking of this, Chunxiu didn't know if it was frozen, or if she was chilling in her heart, and she couldn't help shivering.
If this is really the place where Lu Rujing lived, it would be really terrifying!
Fortunately, it's not.
"This doesn't seem to be where the monster lived." Bo Yu followed behind Ah You, "I don't smell the smell of that weird bug, and there is still the smell of rotten, but it's a little ...... Some ......"
"It's the scent of sandalwood!" Sun Daoxian spoke, "I am most familiar with this taste. ā
Bo Yu was puzzled, "Why are you most familiar with the scent of sandalwood?" ā
Sun Daoxian laughed dryly, how should he say this?
It's hard to say that I often run to the gate of the temple, just waiting for those young ladies of the family, or the daughters of whom's family, when they get off the sedan chair, they poke their heads out and peek, and occasionally look at what they like, and they have to go up to show their "talents" and "talents", right?
"When I was a child, my health was not good, so my mother often took me to the temple to pray to the gods to worship the Buddha more, and naturally there are gods and Buddhas to bless me." Sun Daoxian panicked, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, and what he said made some sense.
"Pray to God and worship Buddha, it is better to do more good deeds." Chunxiu tightened the knife in her hand, how dare she relax her vigilance.
After walking out of the narrow mountain road, the front suddenly opened up, and a round platform appeared, and a large tripod was placed in the center of this round platform.
"What is this?" Chunxiu was puzzled.
Bo Yu had never seen it, so he slowly walked up the stairs and approached this big ding.
"Is it Dading?" Bo Yu asked.
"I think this thing is like Dr. Shen's alchemy furnace." Chunxiu put away the knife and walked around Dading with his waist in his head, "Don't say what this thing is, it's just ...... Why is it here, and how did you get it? ā
Thinking of this, Chunxiu reached out and hugged it.
One person can't hold it at all, and it takes at least two people or more to lift it.
"This thing is too big!" Sun Daoxian tapped lightly twice with his knuckles.
Everyone's complexion changed suddenly, and they stared at him in unison.
"I ......" Sun Daoxian was stunned, "I'm just going to try it, what is this thing made of?" But now I understand that it's definitely not gold and silver! ā
If you say this, you don't say it.
"Who would leave the gold and silver here, is your brain in water?" Chunxiu rolled her eyes, "I just think this thing is a little familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere." ā
"Aunt Chunxiu really thinks, where have you seen it?" Bo Yu asked.
Chunxiu nodded, "I don't have a good memory, if Zhi'er is here, I will definitely be able to ......."
Speaking of this, Chunxiu silently shut up, yes...... Zhi'er is lost, they are looking for Zhi'er.
Shen Zhi is so smart and has a good memory, if he is here, he will definitely be able to see the clues.
"If Shen Zhi is here, he is erudite and strong, and he will definitely be able to say something famous!" Bo Yu choked with timbre, walked down the steps silently, looked at the entire stone platform, and was slightly in a daze.
"Isn't there any use for this thing here?" Sun Daoxian touched his chin and asked.
Chun Xiu was angry, "Fools should laugh, such a behemoth must be of good use if it is placed here." Now the key question is, what exactly is this magic use? It can't be placed here to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, right? ā
In a cave, there is no aura at all, and if there is, it is just yin!
Bo Yu asked, "Or what kind of little bugs?" ā
Sun Daoxian's entire hair stood up, "Don't talk nonsense, how can there be any small insects in this place?" I'm most afraid of bugs, there can't be little bugs. ā
"Maybe there will be a poisonous snake!" Chunxiu hummed softly.
A big man, always hiding behind her, what does this mean?
"These eight stone pillars standing on the edge of the round platform are all engraved with special words, and there are some patterns, which are very strange to look at, and the minions can't understand what this play means?" Ah You pointed to the eight stone pillars.
On the edge of the round platform, there are eight round stone pillars, each of which is carved with a lifelike phoenix pattern. The phoenix has a pearl in its mouth, which was originally a double dragon playing with pearls, but now it looks like a phoenix seeking a phoenix.
"I think it's like a special ritual in some tribes." Chunxiu frowned, "The lines on this stone pillar seem to be a little familiar!" Look at it, are these pentagram very similar to those things that Dr. Shen encountered at the beginning? ā
Bo Yu hurriedly stepped up, stretched out his hand and gently stroked the lines on the stone pillar, and looked at the phoenix carving, "Isn't it...... Phoenix Gu? ā
He got along with Shen Zhi day and night, and Shen Zhi didn't hide many things from him.
In the past, Bo Yu only didn't know that even when Bu Tang mentioned these things to Shen Zhi, Bo Yu only went in and out of his left ear. Those things are Shen Zhi's secrets, and Bo Yu will not tell them even if he dies.
Unless......
Shen Zhi encountered danger.
"It seems to be a little ......," Ah You frowned, not daring to continue.
"Pentagram, Stygian Flower, but no eyes!" Bo Yu looked around, "Let's look around, where is the eye in the center of the pentagram?" ā
"Looking for eyes?" The second monk of Sun Daoxian was puzzled.
What eyes are you looking for?
"Shen Zhi showed me the painting at the beginning, and I remember that it was composed of three parts, which was the mark of the Protector." Bo Yu ran quickly in the cave, "Hurry, hurry up and find it!" Find a mark of the eye! Hurry up! ā
"Good!" Chunxiu turned around and went to look for it.
Everyone was looking for it, only Sun Daoxian pursed his lips and shook the wet clothes on his body, probably because he felt cold, he subconsciously shivered, and slowly walked up to the round platform, and stood leaning on Dading, "Eyes? What eyes to look for? The eyes are naturally on the face! It's weird! ā
Looking at the appearance of a group of people, Sun Daoxian covered his mouth and snickered, "What a bunch of fools." ā
Everyone searched the cave inch by inch, Ah You even flew up, and even searched the stone wall at the top of the cave, but he didn't see any eye marks, and the dark flowers were all over the place, but he couldn't see the eye of rebirth.
"Nope!" Ah You shook his head, "Childe, are you really not mistaken?" Will there really be a mark of the eye? ā
Bo Yu walked onto the round platform and looked around with a cold face, "It stands to reason that you can't be mistaken, Shen Zhi's memory is so good, and what I see is drawn by him himself, unless he draws it wrong!" ā
No, Bo Yu would rather have misremembered.
Shen Zhi is so smart, he will never be mistaken.
So what's the problem?
"Yu'er, I really didn't find it!" Chunxiu gasped, "I've searched it all!" ā
"The minions let everyone search inch by inch, for fear that there would be a mezzanine or a secret room mechanism or something, but all the stone walls here are solid, indicating that there is no secret room here. It's just a cave with such a thing, and there's nothing unusual about it! "A right salute.
Bo Yu shook his head, "Impossible! No way! Phoenix Gu, Dark Flower, and Pentagram, unless there is something we didn't expect, it must be something we overlooked! ā
"I also believe in Yu'er!" Chunxiu calmed down and thought about it, "You and Zhi'er have been together, what he knows, you must know some too." I've seen some of these patterns with Dr. Shen, so I think what you said should be true, but we can't find it! Let's be more careful and search again, maybe there will be any corners that you haven't found! ā
Sun Daoxian poured cold water on the side, pouted and sat on the ground to rest, "Hey, I've seen this place at a glance, why are you searching for the second time?" It's better to sit down and have a good rest. ā
"Shut up!" Chunxiu drank coldly, "If you dare to talk nonsense, I will throw you out in the rain and let you freeze to death outside." ā
"I have no conscience, I just gave you back the umbrella!" Sun Daoxian snorted twice, and said goodbye in displeasure.
This son is not happy, this son ignores you!
"Let's look for it again!" Bo Yu ordered, "Be careful, you must be careful, look for every inch, and don't miss the slightest clue." ā
"Yes!" Ah You commanded.
Sun Daoxian leisurely leaned on Da Ding's legs and stomachs, looking at a group of people like ants on a hot pot, circling in front of him, Xu was tired of seeing it, and he wanted to sleep when he closed his eyes.
In the dream, there are chickens, ducks and fish, delicacies from the mountains and seas, beauties like clouds, and ......
"Hey!" With a kick on his back, Sun Daoxian suddenly slid down the steps like a dead fish that slipped out.
Chunxiu shouted in a muffled voice, but it was too late.
Sun Daoxian's face hit the ground first, and the moment he opened his eyes, the screams like killing pigs resounded throughout the cave.
"IāI just think that if you sleep in wet clothes, you will, you will catch the cold, so ......" Chunxiu hurriedly ran down the steps, "Who knew that the force was too strong and kicked you!" ā
Sun Daoxian's face almost rubbed off, but fortunately, his skin was thick......
Rao was like this, and half of his face immediately became red and swollen.
"Where am I suffering from the wind and cold, it is clearly miserable, and it will kill me!" Sun Daoxian almost didn't cry, his eyes turned red when he covered his face, "You can't use your hands, you have to kick with your feet?" It's not like you don't know how strong your hands are, and now you still use your feet......"
Chun Xiusheng swallowed his saliva, "I, I didn't mean to, you hurry up." ā
"Don't!" Sun Daoxian exclaimed.
The next moment, only a "cluck" sound was heard.
Even Bo Yu's heart trembled, and only two words popped up in his head: It's over!
"Ahhhh......h
Chunxiu hurriedly let go of his hand, Ah You hurriedly stepped forward, led people to pick up Sun Daoxian, and carefully carried him to the bottom of the round platform to sit down.
"You really want my life!" Sun Daoxian cried in pain, "You stinky woman, you are kind to be a donkey's liver and lungs, and I will give you an umbrella, but you will break my waist, mother...... I'm so miserable......"
"Stop howling!" Bo Yu rubbed his eyebrows, "It's like killing a pig, how ugly and ugly, you're still not a man?" ā
Sun Daoxian snorted twice hatefully, "Then you can try, you almost didn't break me in two, I ...... Well? What is this thing? ā
Even if Bo Yu went down the steps, Chunxiu rushed over.
Just beside the place where Sun Daoxian was sitting, there was a raised stone, which seemed to be different from the surrounding stones. It's not a carving, it looks like it's done on purpose.
"What is this?" Bo Yu was puzzled.
Ah You thought for a while, "Childe, you and Miss Chunxiu, take the prince back and let the minions try it!" If there is danger, leave the cave as soon as possible and do not linger. ā
"Ahh Bo Yu was shocked.
"Ah You is not afraid of anything!" Ah You bowed his head, "As long as you can save the little prince and help the son, even if Ah You's life is folded here, it is worth it!" Childe, hurry up! The little prince is missing, if there is no news of the little prince, I am afraid that ......"
The longer it drags on, the easier it is to get into trouble.
"Quick, give me a hand!" Sun Daoxian thought about it, and finally simply ordered Chunxiu, "Carry me, or you won't leave!" ā
Chunxiu glared at him fiercely, turned her head to look at Bo Yu, "Yu'er, you quickly stand back, and wait until I get rid of this nasty ghost." ā
Bo Yu nodded, and quickly retreated to the narrow part of the cave, where they had come in.
"Carry me!" Sun Daoxian didn't start with a natural arrogant posture.
"Huh!" Chunxiu bent down, directly picked up Sun Daoxian, and walked quickly towards the entrance of the cave.
Everyone was stunned: "......"
"Sun Daoxian, I can tell you, if it weren't for Mrs. Hou's sake, my aunt and grandmother would definitely leave you here, let the stone bury you, and save you, a hypocritical ghost, from harming everyone." Chunxiu gritted her teeth in warning.
Sun Daoxian was stunned, he just asked her to carry him out, but he didn't expect this woman to ......
Well, it's quite comfortable to embrace, but it's this posture, why do you feel that something is not right?
It stands to reason that aren't all men hugging women?
How did you come to him and become a woman hugging a man?
Sun Daoxian sighed helplessly, who let himself have such a small body, it is not enough for Chunxiu to cut it!
After everyone stepped back and made sure that if there was an accident, everyone could escape smoothly, Ah You quickly pressed down the raised stone.
There was a loud bang, and the first reaction of all the guards was to protect Bo Yu.
Ah You flew up and rushed straight out.
However, the next moment, it was Bo Yu who exclaimed, "Look! That big tripod sinks! ā
After the loud bang, there was a strong tremor in the cave, and the rubble kept falling from the top, but it was only a few small gravel, and it was not a big deal.
The big tripod on the round platform is slowly sinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"What's going on?" Chunxiu's face was shocked, "This ...... What's underneath this thing? ā
I only heard a rumbling sound, and the entire Dading completely sank in the center of the round platform, and then there was a stone slab that quickly closed it, hiding the Dading, and I couldn't see that it had been let go of such a behemoth here.
"Eyes!" Ah You shouted, "Childe, it's the eyes!" It's the eyes! ā
Although Ah You was vaguely excited, Bo Yu understood, pushed away the guards who were protecting him, and rushed to the round platform like crazy, clearly seeing that there was an eye at the place where Da Ding disappeared.
"Eyes!" Bo Yu was excited, "It's the Protector!" It's the mark of the Protector! That's right, that's right, this is the one left by the Protectors, and the moss marks near are still very new, maybe Shen Zhi is nearby! ā
Will Shen Zhi be around?
"Sit down!" Chunxiu quickly put Sun Daoxian down.
The chill on his back came, and Sun Daoxian shivered instantly, inexplicably missing Chunxiu's warm embrace...... The ground was also cold, and it was so uncomfortable for him to feel anywhere.
"Auntie, look, it's the eyes, I'm right!" Bo Yu hurriedly pointed to the eye mark on the ground.
Chunxiu nodded, "This should be the place where the Protector is used to worship, right?" Look at these pillars, and these lines. ā
Bo Yu was stunned, "Altar?" ā
"Perhaps!" Chunxiu was a little worried, "This altar is still new, and there have been people moving recently, maybe those people will come again." As for what you want to do, let's ask when the time comes! ā
"Auntie mean, wait for the rabbit?" Bo Yu blinked.
In this cave, you can see the edge at a glance, and it is inconvenient to hide, and it is impossible to hide here.
"When the time comes, we will wait outside, and watch who enters and exits this cave, and turn around and block the entrance to the cave, and that person will not be able to escape!" Chunxiu looked at the eye pattern on the ground, and felt a little inexplicably anxious.
She remembered that Ah Luo had explained to her that if the eyes were closed, it was ordinary, and if the eyes were open, they would ......
Well, this eye is open, so there must be a big conspiracy here.
Chunxiu hadn't read anything, and she couldn't tell any big truths, but she saw that the hunters in the mountains were digging pits to let animals jump down, and these were probably the same truth!
"I know what my aunt means, wait for the rabbit and catch the turtle in the urn!" Bo Yu's eyebrows furrowed, "That's it!" ā
After the rain stopped, everyone exited the cave, and Ah You led people to completely clean the traces in the cave and return everything to its original place, so as not to be seen abnormally at the time.
After doing all this, Bo Yu led everyone to hide outside the cave, quietly ambushed, just waiting for the prey to come to the door.
Since it is the cave of the Protector Clan, it stands to reason that it will also be the Protector of the Clan, Shen Zhi is the young master of the Protector Clan, even if it falls into their hands, it should not suffer too much.
That Luo Nanchen, isn't he already serving Shen Zhi?
Should...... It's going to be okay, right?
The night was quiet, and there was no movement inside or outside the cave.
Bo Yu blew the wind all night, and did not wait for the owner of the cave to appear, and there seemed to be no movement during the day, but no one dared to move, so he could only stay in place and continue to ambush.
No one knows when the owner of this cave will appear?
One day?
Two days?
One month?
Two months?
Or, longer......
"When is this going to be?" Sun Daoxian had a bitter face, "Chunxiu, I'm hungry......"
Chunxiu glanced at him fiercely, "Shut up!" "Read with a quick eye _
