Chapter 53 - Foresight
Feng Shanshan jumped down, but it was a little dark underneath. Of course, for these Instrument Soul cultivators, their sight was much better than that of ordinary people. Feng Shanshan just got used to it for a while, and then she saw the young Lu Deng who was smiling at her in front of her. Lu Deng was standing at the end of the secret passage not far from the fall, and it was obvious that this was where the secret passage led.
The passage is surrounded by very soft rocks, and there are drops of water flowing between the crevices of the rocks. These rocks may have been hard as iron, but under the influence of groundwater and humid air, these rocks that were originally hidden under the ground have become very soft. Reach out and press on the rocks around you, and you will feel a soft feeling.
Lu Deng stood at the turn of this passage, which was not high, but the width was moderate. This passage looks wider from above than below, and the path to enter the secret passage below is a little narrower, but it is enough to pass through two or three people side by side, which is not too much of a problem.
Feng Shanshan stepped forward, grabbed Lu Deng's sleeve, and glanced at him a little coquettishly. He asked in disgust, "Why, from the outside, this passage looks like it leads to the interior of the city, have you noticed anything?"
Feng Shanshan also realized the importance of this passage, perhaps this was the key for them to open the current battle of Huicheng. Therefore, there was no hint of ridicule in Feng Shanshan's tone, and it was even rare to be full of seriousness.
Lu Deng originally wanted to laugh with Feng Shanshan, but he didn't realize that Feng Shanshan was not such an important person who forgot something. So he also put away his teasing heart, and said: "Judging from the terrain, it is indeed so. If this road can really lead to the interior of the city, it is not a good way, but I haven't discussed it with Brother Chong, and I don't know if it will be a little risky to do so because of the current battle situation inside the city."
Feng Shanshan admits that Lu Deng's worries are not unreasonable. Even if they were able to use this passage to lead 30,000 Ling Feng troops into the Huicheng, and even be able to reoccupy the Huicheng, neither of them could say the consequences of such a consequence. Now Feng Yuchong's life and death are uncertain, and the situation in the city is also unclear, whether the rebel army inside the city is now fighting against the army of the Sealed War Society, all these things they dare not be sure of. If these things can't be determined, there will still be a lot of obstacles to the surprise attack on the city.
Thinking of this, Feng Shanshan's pretty face also had a little more worry, the two soldiers behind them knew that they were discussing important things, they were just here as listeners and silently listened to the conversation between Feng Shanshan and Lu Deng.
Feng Shanshan's eyes as clear as water turned, staring at the bright moon as clear as snow hanging above their heads from this secret passage. Suddenly, an idea came to her mind that might work.
"Otherwise," Feng Shanshan fixed her gaze on Lu Deng's body in front of her, and said slowly: "Let's go first to see where this secret passage leads, if this passage can really lead to the city." We still made sure of the situation in the city before making plans, and knowing this secret passage, we were not in a hurry to launch an offensive against the city within this day. What do you think? Of course, if this secret passage doesn't lead to Huicheng, then let's just give up for the time being, and change our minds," Feng Shanshan finished talking like a cannon of pearls, and the method that she had come up with in her heart was not a solution.
Lu Deng pondered for a long time, and slowly, he finally nodded slowly. This idea may not be the best, but it is the safest way to do it right now. Lu Deng turned his head, his gaze staring at the end of the deep secret passage in the distance, and slowly quickened his pace and began to walk forward. Feng Shanshan silently followed behind him, even though her heart was full of thoughts, she didn't have a chance to say it for the time being, she didn't know what to think there with her skirt in her hand. Behind Feng Shanshan, there were also the two soldiers of the Ling Feng Army who were agile and wore gray robes and plain clothes.
Through the two winding crossings, Lu Deng and Feng Shanshan had unconsciously slowly opened a small distance with the two pro-soldiers behind them. For them as Soul Cultivators, the steepness and danger of the terrain could not hinder their normal movements too much. Once the light work is carried out, the footsteps are still fast here. It was only because this secret passage was a little dark and it was not possible to see the distance ahead, so it took a little more time to get to the bottom of a staircase in front of me. Fortunately, they were guided along the way by a type called the "White Sea Stone", which was placed on the edge of a large number of sea stones, and could present a bright light like snow in the dark night sky. Usually when there is sunlight, it is not possible to see too many clues, but in the dark, the light that this white sea stone can show is particularly obvious. Feng Shanshan and Lu Deng relied on the white sea stones they found along the way, so that they avoided hitting the surrounding rocks or losing the direction of the road.
After Lu Deng and Feng Shanshan walked for half an hour, they finally saw the unusual color ahead of them after the seventh turn. In addition to the surrounding rocks, which are basically dark sea rocks, there are also small white sea stones that show a narrow and azure white light in the night sky. It was with the guidance of this white sea stone that Feng Shanshan and Lu Deng came to the end of this secret passage. Here they saw again with great clarity an unusual color, and in front of them was nothing but a step that was darker than the white sea stone, and a little clearer than the ordinary black rock.
Walking up this step, a stone slab with ropes appeared above Feng Shanshan and Lu Deng's heads. Feng Shanshan and Lu Deng, who pushed away the stone slab and climbed out, found that they were in a very bright place. Almost subconsciously, Feng Shanshan and Lu Deng both covered their eyes. Nearly half an hour in the dark, making it almost impossible for them to open their eyes when they came out, even if their hands were clasped over their heads to block the glare of light.
After waiting for Mo Yoo for half an hour again, Feng Shanshan and Lu Deng finally gradually adapted to this dazzling light, and they finally opened their eyes and carefully observed the situation around them. However, when they really opened their eyes and took a closer look at their surroundings, they were really scared.
The place where they came out of the secret passage was none other than the interior of the city they wanted to enter. And the exit of this secret passage turned out to be such a Buddhist hall with candles burning around it. In front of the Buddha hall is a large golden Buddha statue, and two small golden Buddha statues are erected around the large Buddha statue. In front of this big Buddha statue stands more than 100 long-burning candles. Fortunately, although the hall is bright, there is really no one else waiting here in the actual hall. Feng Shanshan and Lu Deng breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and after resting for a while, they prepared to quietly open the door of the Buddha Hall and leave here.
"What, where do you want to go?" Just as Feng Shanshan and Lu Deng quietly pushed open the door of this Buddhist hall and were about to go out, a cold and indifferent voice suddenly came from the door. However, Feng Shanshan, who was suddenly discovered by others and was supposed to dodge, was stunned in place, how could this voice sound so familiar
The source of the voice slowly revealed his figure, Feng Shanshan and Lu Deng were stunned in place, their faces indescribably stunned. The young man in the dark blue robe in front of him was none other than Feng Yuchong!
"Brother, why are you here" Feng Yuchong's appearance made Feng Shanshan and Lu Deng stunned, they couldn't believe that Feng Yuchong, who they were looking for all over the city, was still staying in the city. even dared to blatantly appear outside this kind of crowded Buddhist hall, which made Feng Shanshan's face uncontrollably show a worried look. She worriedly grabbed her brother Feng Yuchong's arm.
Feng Yuchong smiled slightly, grabbed the hands of his sister beside him and said with a smile: "Let's go in first, let's talk about it, I'll tell you about what happened recently." To tell you the truth, there have been so many things lately, even I can't understand it myself" After speaking, Feng Yuchong flashed into the empty Buddha hall in front of him.
As soon as Feng Yuchong said this, Feng Shanshan and Lu Deng were even more unpredictable about his thoughts. So, out of concern for Feng Yuchong and curiosity about this matter, they all followed Feng Yuchong into the Buddhist hall. Feng Shanshan carefully closed the doors on both sides of the Buddhist hall, and then turned around, staring at her brother with a pair of beautiful eyes.
Feng Yuchong sighed slightly, and he told Lu Deng and Feng Shanshan about everything he had encountered in the city. Originally, he had already discussed with Jiang Lingyue the plan to open the west gate to welcome Ling Fengjun after midnight tonight, but he didn't expect that he didn't know who passed the news directly to the ears of Xu Zhan, the deputy hall master of the three halls of the Fengzhan Society stationed in the city. Xu Zhan immediately mobilized a large army to encircle and suppress this rebel army, and Feng Yuchong hid in the city and could not go to support. However, he had already heard that most of this rebel army had been annihilated by the 15,000 elite troops of the three halls of the Sealing War Society, and a small number were still hiding in the city. This time, the plan of internal and external cooperation can be regarded as a real bankruptcy. And Feng Yuchong himself, who was also set up as the primary pursuit target by the Feng War Society, was severely pursued.
When Feng Shanshan heard this, her expression became even more worried, she held her brother's hand a little sadly, and her eyes were unconsciously full of tears. Feng Yuchong looked distressed, and hurriedly comforted his sister in a low voice: "Fortunately, I saved enough in advance." Before the battle of the inside and outside, I had already found Zheng Kang, the deputy hall master of the battle meeting, in advance, with Zheng Kang's narrow-mindedness and disregard for the overall situation. Now that Xu Zhan has exterminated the rebel army, then in this case, Zheng Kang will definitely not give up with him, and they may change from a secret rivalry to a blatant confrontation with the army. At that time, we can sit and reap the profits, sister, don't worry about me, I'm fine, you have to take care of yourself, don't let me worry" After speaking, Feng Yuchong raised his hand, wiped the tears on his sister's face, and comforted her softly.
