"An Ran, Xia Shuang, ...... when it rains," Tang Qianlin said and pointed at Yan Liuyan, "And you, Yan Ye, the four of you stay, don't let the torches go out, so that you can show us the location." ”

With that, Tang Qianlin left the house with Li Yunfan, Li Qingxiang and Yefeng, and after going out of the gate, he came to the foot of the city wall.

Tang Qianlin used the Xia Feng spear to carve a mark on the city wall: "With this as the boundary, we will divide it into two groups, one from the left and one from the right, to see how long it will take to meet, and by the way, we can roughly estimate the approximate area of this city." ”

Li Yunfan said worriedly: "What if this city is very big? What should I do if I can't finish walking for a while? If the Japanese find out and catch up, I'm afraid they will be in trouble. ”

Tang Qianlin said: "I guess this city shouldn't be too big, otherwise we won't build exactly the same buildings to cause our visual error, without further ado, let's start." ”

Tang Qianlin and Li Yunfan went to the left, and Yefeng and Li Qingxiang went to the right, continuing to advance along the city wall.

Ye Feng and Li Qingxiang walked for less than two hundred meters, and then returned to the city gate where they had entered earlier, and after making a mark, they continued to move forward.

After a long time, the two groups of people met again under the city wall, and after Tang Qianlin asked about the approximate number of steps, he said: "It seems that this city is rectangular, about 230 meters long, about 160 meters wide, and the entire area is about 36,000 square meters. ”

Ye Feng looked around: "This kind of area, it can't be regarded as a city, it's really not big, and there is only one door." ”

Li Yunfan said: "The key is, since it is not big, why do we get lost." ”

Li Qingxiang frowned and shook his head, he really couldn't figure out why.

Tang Qianlin said: "We can first exclude certain factors, and then speculate on reasonable results. ”

Yefeng said: "Qianlin, you can talk about it." ”

Tang Qianlin analyzed: "First of all, we are underground, this is a cave, that's for sure, secondly, the environment we are in is a small city in a cave, the small city has walls on all sides, and there is only one city gate, from these factors, we have to move forward, and it is blocked in all directions, right?" ”

Li Yunfan and the three nodded.

Tang Qianlin said again: "And it is impossible for us to go up, so the direction of leaving this city and continuing to move forward is here......"

Tang Qianlin said and pointed to his feet.

"Below? Underground? Yes. Li Qingxiang suddenly realized, "Listening to your analysis, it does make sense, but our feet are full of water, if there is an entrance, it means that there is a gap, and the water will not leak down?" ”

Li Yunfan and Ye Feng also looked at Tang Qianlin and nodded yes.

Tang Qianlin said: "This is the problem, first of all, we have to figure out, why is there water here?" What is the role of water? If it doesn't, then isn't the water acting to disguise the entrance? ”

Li Yunfan wondered: "Cover up the entrance? ”

Tang Qianlin explained in depth: "The thinking of ordinary people is the same as what the predecessors said just now, if there is an entrance, but there is water under our feet, we will naturally rule out the speculation that the entrance is underground. ”

Yefeng said: "I understand what you mean, but this place is so big, how to find it?" ”

Tang Qianlin said: "I always think that if you just use water to cover up the entrance, it will be a bit of a fuss, right?" What is the city's raison d'être? ”

Li Yunfan said: "According to the Five Evil Stars, this is the position of the heart, which represents wisdom, and it is also the location of the crow spirit, what about these aspects?" ”

At this moment, the tremor came again, but this time the vibration was even more frequent than before, not to mention, and it continued for a long time.

"Doesn't sound right, let's go back." After Tang Qianlin finished speaking, he waded in the direction of the house with the fire with the other three people, and then helped each other climb over the wall and enter.

As soon as the four of them landed, they saw An Ran and Xia Shuang clinging to each other, Tang Yushi looked around, and Yan Liuyan also looked extremely nervous.

Tang Yushi asked, "Dad, is it an earthquake?" ”

Tang Qianlin was a little unsteady on his feet, raised his hand to hold the banyan tree next to him and said, "I don't know, anyway, don't go into the house first, and observe for a while." ”

The shaking lasted for at least five minutes before it suddenly stopped, followed by a strange noise, whistling and screaming like the wind in the winter woods, and the Yin Bees that had been buried in the bronze lanterns flew out, gathered with the other Yin Bees, and flapped their wings towards the top of the cave, and then clinged to the top and never moved again.

Because of the large number of yin bees densely spread on the top of the cave, coupled with the reflection of the water surface on the ground, the cave suddenly became much brighter, as if it was a summer night.

It's just that, listening to the strange scream, there is a feeling that the winter wind is blowing on a summer night.

Suddenly, the bluestone slabs under everyone's feet began to split, Tang Qianlin saw this and immediately led people to the house, and when everyone ran to the steps under the eaves to stand firm, the position they were standing on before had become a huge hole, and the bluestone slabs before had disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Standing on the edge of the huge hole, everyone's hearts rose to their throats, and all this came so fast that it didn't give people any time to think.

"What the hell is going on?" Li Yunfan looked at the bottomless hole, "Shouldn't this be the entrance?" ”

Tang Qianlin said: "It doesn't look like it. ”

An Ran closed his eyes tightly, and grabbed Tang Qianlin with one hand: "I can't stand anymore." ”

Suddenly, a huge air stream rushed out of the hole in front of it, followed by a column of water that rushed to the top of the cave.

Tang Qianlin turned his head away and avoided the fierce water column, and the moment he turned his head, he saw other water columns rising in the distance, and he immediately understood that this kind of hole appeared in the courtyards of all the mansions in the city.

The water column slowly weakened as it reached the top of the cave, and the original water level slowly rose as a result, quickly moving from the ankles to the legs, and then to the waist.

In less than half an hour, Tang Qianlin and the others had climbed directly to the top of the house with the rising water level.

"It's over." Li Qingxiang wiped the water from his face, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Yan Liuyan's eyes were still staring at the banyan tree: "The water is still rising, we can only go up the tree." ”

Tang Yushi looked at the water level that was almost submerging the roof: "What if the water is still rising on the tree?" ”

Tang Qianlin said: "Then you can only resign yourself to fate, when it rains, you go first." ”

Tang Yushi was nimble, and easily jumped onto the banyan tree with one jump, Tang Qianlin directly picked up An Ran and threw it to Tang Yushi.

After Tang Yushi caught it, he helped Xia Shuang, who jumped over, to stabilize it, and the rest of the people jumped on the banyan tree one after another to dodge.

After jumping onto the banyan tree, the water level continued to rise, and everyone had to continue to climb to the top of the banyan tree, until they reached a branch that could barely support their body weight, and then stopped, but looking down, the water was still rising.

Tang Qianlin looked up at the top of the cave: "It seems that the water will at least submerge this tree." ”

An Ran anxiously asked, "How do you know?" What if you wait and stop? ”

Tang Qianlin said: "You see that the yin bees above have been clinging to the top of the cave, which means that only there is safety." ”

Tang Qianlin's words made everyone's hearts feel cold, if the water level really rises to that position, everyone can only float on the surface of the water and barely breathe, and they can barely support it for a while, but if it takes a long time, everyone will be drowned here.

"Stay still, even if the water rises, stay around the top of this tree." After Tang Qianlin finished speaking, he looked at Tang Yushi, "When it rains, you and I go down to see if there is any other way out." ”

Li Qingxiang said: "I couldn't find it just now, but now that the water is rising, what else are you looking for?" ”

Tang Qianlin said: "It's because the water is rising, maybe the situation here will be different, let's go." ”

Saying that, Tang Qianlin jumped into the water, Tang Yushi also jumped down, and the rest of the people watched the two disappear into the water, and there was nothing else to do but pray.

Not far from here, in the tomb of Hades, Kyoji Miyake walked in wearing a gas mask, and fragments of gunfire could still be heard around him, and the apostles and strangers who had been poisoned or killed were lying in the middle of the city.

When a few people struggled to fight back with their weapons, they were killed by Japanese soldiers with guns.

Kyoji Miyake stood in the center and looked around: "Is this the entrance to the Shaman's Spirit Palace?" ”

Bei Zihong was silent, just observing the surrounding terrain, he had been here before, although he was not very familiar with it, but his personal habit was that he would carefully observe the surrounding environment every time he went to a place, and in case of an accident, he could get out.

Moreover, he knows that his layout has come to an end, and if he doesn't get out now, it is estimated that he will not be able to go again, and once Kyoji Miyake finds out that he has been fooled, he will definitely take the first one to open the knife.

While Bei Zihong was planning this, Ye Da was also making the same plan, but he looked at those peers who died tragically, and he couldn't wait to go up and bite Miyake Kyoji to death with his teeth now.

Kyoji Miyake turned his head and asked Bei Zihong, "Where is the specific location of the entrance?" ”

Bei Zihong said: "I don't know, let's look around, but there must be a lot of institutions here." ”

Kyoji Miyake lowered his head and thought about it, and instructed Shimamoto Soyoshi: "Shimamoto Nakasa, don't kill them all, catch a few alive, ask them, they should know." ”

Ye Da stepped on something under his feet at this time, he looked down and saw that it was a grenade, he immediately kicked the grenade into the corner, and then took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, walked forward and picked it up and hid it on his body, ready to use it at a critical moment.

Soon, several Three Rivers soldiers came forward with four seriously wounded men, two of whom were foreign merchants and the other three were apostles, as could be seen from their attire.

Kyoji Miyake walked up to the five people kneeling on the ground, raised his gun and shot one of them in the head, and then pointed to a soldier of the epidemic prevention and water supply unit next to him and said: "I know you are in pain now, but I can save you, as long as you tell where the entrance and exit are, I will treat you, otherwise, you will all die like the person just now." ”

None of the remaining four spoke, and after Kyoji Miyake nodded to Shimamoto Muneyoshi, Shimamoto Muneyoshi fired a shot directly into the back of the head of one of the apostles.

After the apostle fell to the ground, there was still no answer.

Seeing this, Ye Da stretched out his hand to pinch the grenade, ready to open the safety and throw it out, if he could kill Kyoji Miyake, it would be the best, if he couldn't blow it up, he could also take advantage of the chaos to escape.

Just when Ye Da was about to take out a grenade, a dying foreign businessman spoke: "Entrance, below, there is a place that is being dug, I don't know if it is the entrance you are looking for......
