Chapter 62: Underground II
Deep underground in Shahu Villa is the former lair of the evil Jiao.
It's probably not been like this for a long time.
The people at the front of the queue had dispersed, and the light of the torches was scattered sporadically, near the stone wall, at the bottom of the huge pit, and there were even people climbing up the stone wall, like geckos, overhead, in mid-air.
These people walked the mountain road for most of the night, without rest, most of them did not eat, and some of them had minor injuries, but they did not show any fatigue. It is probably the belief that they will be able to find the relics and get ahead right away is supporting them, and none of them flinched backwards.
They carried torches and lamps, and searched back and forth here. The huge crater left behind after the waterhole had dried up, with their poor manpower, could not go through it all for several days. They passed over and over again in front of the stone wall with sword marks, but they were oblivious to the marks on it.
Probably everyone thinks that what he is looking for is a glittering relic, a cheat, a sword...... The messy and old marks on the stone wall were not noticed.
If they look like this, even if they look for a hundred years, they won't find the real secret.
Shigong took out an oily paper bag for me, opened it, and inside was a stack of solidly pressed flour cakes, in which the amount of sesame lard was sufficient, and it smelled sweet.
I laughed.
Shigong is always cold on the face, but hot in the heart, and very careful.
Of course, how can a person who is not careful become a master of illusion? It is not an exaggeration to be as careful as a hair. I am much worse than him, but compared with my master, I have a richer spiritual world and a much richer imagination than him.
I took a slice of cake and ate it, and my master carefully observed the people below, and counted quickly with his right index finger in the palm of his hand.
He must have set up a phantom array here, and now he is calculating the number of people and the distance.
I'm not very interested in the Phantom Array. This thing is difficult to dispense, time-consuming and labor-intensive, but easy to break. The example is that Wu Zhen set up a formation on the boat on the Wild Goose Tower, which was easily broken by Shigong and Yan San.
Eating the flour cake, I found another person, the shorter man who followed Wen Fei.
They were all dressed in similar attire, and the man was inconspicuous. Except for the people around her, others didn't see her identity. Yue Tong was dressed in men's clothes and wrapped in a headscarf, looking like a small man.
A cry suddenly came from the bottom of the huge pit: "Qian Kuang!" What's in your arms? ”
Another voice was a little unconfident: "What's that?" What nonsense are you talking about? ”
"You just picked something up and put it in your arms. Don't think anyone else is seeing it. ”
There was the sound of blades clashing from below, followed by a muffled, short scream.
One.
I sat on the edge of the pit with my master close to my master.
He didn't want me to come down with him. It's me who insist.
It wasn't long before another scream was heard.
The man named Qian Kuang was finally restrained, and the things in his arms were searched.
It was a dark, dreary box, covered in mud that looked like it was hundreds of years old.
The man who grabbed the box flatteringly wiped the mud and blood stains off his head, and held the box high and handed it to Wen Fei. Yue Tong also raised his hand to take it. But Wen Fei had already taken the box.
She leaned in and asked, "What is this?" ”
Wen Fei looked at it, but did not open the box in front of her and in front of everyone.
The couple did not appear to be honest and intimate with each other.
"Look closer, there must be something else."
Yue Tong raised the torch in his hand, but the torch could only illuminate a small area around them.
"I have an ancestor who wrote in his notes that he was also looking for the Codex Sword left behind by the Sword Immortal. But he was not found until he died. Yue Tong's voice was filled with awe and pride: "I didn't expect it, but I could do all this." ”
Wen Fei replied vaguely.
It was just the two of them at the edge of the pit, and everyone else was looking for it under the huge pool.
"Show me the box."
Wen Fei glanced at her. Yue Tong asked for it again.
He slowly handed the box over.
Yue Tong looked left and right, but he didn't see anything famous. They couldn't even find where the box was opened from. The box seems to be a whole, and it is dim here, so you can only go out and find a way. But the more they couldn't see it, the more they decided that there must be a mystery on it.
There was another shouting sound from the bottom of the pit. They found two more broken bamboo slips.
Where did all this stuff come from? Is there one at the bottom of the pit? Shigong has been here for so long, and they haven't searched carefully.
I'm too lazy to care about that much. Holding your cheeks and watching with relish.
They searched for a long time, but they didn't find anything next to them, but they were still full of energy.
There were footsteps in the distance, and a stumble of human voices.
I felt strange and turned my head to look at Shigong.
These people who came just now are already here, who are the people who are coming next?
Shigong said in a low voice: "These people are only afraid that they have their own selfish intentions, and the news will spread ten, ten, ten, hundreds, how can they keep secrets?" ”
Wen Fei and the others were on full alert, and the group of people who came later didn't expect someone to come first, they were all startled, their blades were pulled out, and one laughed loudly: "Who should I be, isn't this the Wen Pavilion Lord and Mrs. Wen?" Why, the two of you didn't stay in Yuanling, what did you do in this poor country? ”
"What the king helpers come to do, we will naturally do too."
Both sides were afraid of each other, and they were at a stalemate for a while. There were many people in the later group, but Wen Fei's reputation was there, and these people who came later did not dare to act rashly.
A wave has not settled, and another wave has risen. The third group of people also came, and this group of people was more mixed and numerous, with more than 100 people.
The three monks had no water to eat, and the scene was even more chaotic and dangerous than just now.
My grandfather whispered in my ear, "How is this play?" Lively, right? ”
I nodded vigorously.
It's so lively.
Like the children of the peasant family at the back of the cottage fishing, they tie up a jar, leave only a small opening, put some bait in the jar, and throw it into the water, and the fish will go into the jar to find food, and compete with each other. But he didn't know that he was in the calculations of others, and when he pulled the rope, every jar of fish was caught.
The people of the three parties guard against me, I stare at you, and they refuse to take a step back, but they don't dare to turn their faces and make a move, who knows who is on the same side as whom? What if the other two sides come together against their own? Besides, even the people who came with him were not necessarily in the same mind, and there was a lot of infighting just now.
What about the people in the Wild Goose Tower?
I saw them when I came in just now, why didn't I hear them for so long?

Have a great weekend to all.
