Chapter 1092 Underground Drains
Cheng Laohan also knew that most of the people in the house were experts, so he took the initiative to explain: "The road is dangerous, so I have to bring self-defense belongings." ”
I smiled and didn't say anything.
Cheng Laohan asked the guys to look at the storefront, and then led us out, saying that he was going to a place where Kankan Taoist people often stayed.
As I was about to leave the door, Liang Houzai threw a worried look at me, and I closed my eyes at him, signaling that he should not worry too much.
How to say that it is also Luofu Mountain here, I don't believe that this old man Cheng will wait for us where to set up a formation in advance.
Besides, even if he sets up the formation, we should be able to break it.
As soon as Cheng Laohan left the store, he walked straight towards the back mountain of Luofu Mountain, his steps were very capable, and his speed was not too amazing, but it was really not slow.
We bypassed a few mountain roads and went directly into the dense forest of the back mountain, at this time Cheng Laohan's crutches began to play a role, and every time he went to some more rugged places, he had to use crutches to support the ground in order to maintain the balance of the center of gravity.
Before entering the forest, we met a few monks who came down the mountain on the way, and most of these monks would stop a little to watch when they saw us, but they seemed to be afraid of Cheng Laohan, and their eyes were mainly wandering away from Lao Zuo.
Lao Zuo's body is full of spiritual charm, righteousness and enough, he is indeed a good object of fate, but at the same time, he has a majestic face, and the monks watched for a long time, but they didn't dare to get closer.
During this period, I noticed that Cheng Laohan seemed to be a little jealous of Lao Zuo, and he glanced at Lao Zuo twice, his eyes full of unwillingness.
Moreover, this old man Cheng has a very tough physique, he has walked for so long on the mountain road, he doesn't breathe, and his feet are still light and fast, it is said that he doesn't need to use crutches to maintain his balance, but after arriving in the forest, he suddenly put on a drooping old look, as if he can't stand steadily without a crutch.
If that's three or four years...... Don't be three or four years ago, even a year or two ago, I may not have seen the problems in him, but I have often walked outside these years, I have seen a lot, and I naturally think a lot, in my eyes, this bad old man's acting skills are really not very high, at least far worse than the actor-level Lao Zuo.
Seeing his twisted appearance, I became more and more sure that this old man was definitely not a good man.
At this time, Liang Houzai glanced at me again, and the worry in his eyes was deeper than before.
I raised my palm, pressed down flat, and made a "deep heart" gesture, so that Liang Houzai didn't have to panic too much.
In fact, I also know what Liang Houzai is afraid of, he is afraid, in addition to Cheng Laohan in the mountains, it is possible to place other secret sentinels, if we go to the depths of the mountains and forests, Cheng Laohan and the dark sentinels will attack together, we may not be able to retreat with our whole body.
In addition, he was also worried that the mountain might have arranged a formation to deal with us in advance.
Liang Houzai is such a careful person, you must know that this is Luofu Mountain, in this kind of place, can you set up a formation casually, you just set up a formation, and the colleagues on the mountain can easily detect the abnormality of the Qi field in the forest, and then find someone to search the mountain, and by the way, clean up your formation.
Practical is also unlikely to set up a secret post here, Luofu Mountain Buddhism and Taoism two two colleagues are a lot, among which there is no lack of cultivation, superb means, place a secret whistle here, if these colleagues find out, it is not going to eat and walk around.
Of course, the formation may indeed exist, and the dark whistle may also exist, but the probability is very low.
It should be said that, according to the practical character, the probability of these two things happening is infinitely close to zero.
"It's almost there."
At this time, Cheng Laohan's voice suddenly came from the front of the team.
He stood halfway up the mountain, turned and shouted, raised his hand, and pointed to a small valley to the northwest.
Lao Zuo built a pergola on his eye socket with his hand, looked in the direction of the valley for a moment, and then asked Cheng Laohan: "Is that the place where Kankan Daoist lives in seclusion?" ”
Cheng Laohan shook his head: "It can't be said to be seclusion, it should be said to be retreat, and his little apprentice is also there." ”
As he spoke, Cheng Laohan opened his legs and walked in the direction of the valley, Lao Zuo followed behind him, and asked in a homely manner: "What is the name of Kankan Daoist, I have turned around the mountain several times, no matter who I ask, I have never heard of the name of Kankan Daoist." ”
Cheng Laohan smiled unnaturally, but he turned his back to Lao Zuo, Lao Zuo couldn't see his expression, he could only hear his tone mixed with a smile: "Hey, he, even he himself has forgotten what his Taoist name is, everyone has called him Kankan Taoist all these years, and he is used to being called a Kankan Taoist." ”
Lao Zuo then asked: "Do you know Qingyazi?" ”
A fierce light flashed in Cheng Laohan's eyes, but his tone was still very steady: "I've heard of it, but I only know that he is a friend of Kankan Daoren, and the rest is not very clear." ”
Lao Zuo nodded first, and after a short pause, he asked again: "Mr. Cheng should be a master of using swords, I also use swords, we can learn from each other when we have time." ”
Cheng Laohan said perfunctorily: "You are really good eyesight, I am indeed practicing swords." But it's all done behind closed doors, and I don't have much actual combat experience. ”
When he said this, there was contempt in his expression, which clearly meant "a young boy like you is not qualified to compete with me", but I can tell that he is not exactly a guy when he says this.
For example, when the words "behind closed doors" are mentioned, his tone is more sincere. At first glance, this product is seriously lacking in actual combat experience, if he has enough actual combat experience, he can see without a competition that Lao Zuo's sword kung fu is much more powerful than him.
Everyone is an expert in sword practice, and you can see at a glance which one is stronger and which is weak.
After entering the valley, Cheng Laohan first led us to a small waterfall about two meters wide, and then climbed all the way along the hillside next to the waterfall, and signaled us to follow.
It wasn't until he was near the top of the mountain that Cheng Laohan stopped and said, "It's here."
This place is a slope with a large angle, and the vegetation on the slope is very lush, but most of it is dry, and you can see some protruding boulders except for the vegetation, but there is nothing else.
If you want to say that Kankan Taoist people retreat in such a place, the ghosts don't believe it, not only do they not even have a place to sit, but the humidity on the key hillside is very high, it is relatively slippery, and it is very difficult to even stand for a long time.
Li Huai was the fastest, and asked Cheng Laohan directly at this time: "I said old man, are you kidding us, there is not even a cave here, where are the people in retreat?" Could it be that he buried himself in the ground? ”
Cheng Laohan didn't argue with him, but walked straight behind an arched boulder and poked the soil under the stone root with his cane.
Just poked so lightly, the crutch actually sank directly into the soil, and it didn't enter most of it at once.
Beneath this seemingly ordinary layer of soil is actually hollow!
Cheng Laohan didn't seem to be sure if the soil behind the stone was hollow before, but at this time, when he saw that most of the crutches were easily gone, a very excited look immediately appeared on his face.
It's like Christopher Columbus discovering the New World.
This expression of his deepened Liang Houzai's worry, and I saw Liang Houzai frown twice vigorously.
Cheng Laohan turned his head and said to me, "We have to go in and find him." ”
Before I could speak, he put his cane under his armpit and leaped forward, sinking his whole body into the earth.
The soil behind the stone is like mud in a swamp, when Cheng Laohan sank in, there were ripples on the soil, and now Cheng Laohan has disappeared, but the ripples have not completely disappeared.
Lao Zuo and I glanced at each other, and both of them had frowning expressions.
Should I follow along?
After thinking for a while, Lao Zuo made a decision: "You go down to see the situation first, and I'll pull the yang line." ”
These words are very simple, but they do not prevent me from understanding what Lao Zuo means.
Let me go down first, this choice is correct, because we can't be sure whether there is poisonous gas in the space under the soil, ordinary mechanisms and spells, Lao Zuo can resist it, but poisonous gas is difficult for them to guard against.
I spread the yang thread on my wrist, handed the gossip money to Lao Zuo, and let him pull me, and then I also jumped, and my whole body fell into the soil.
This layer of soil was an illusion of nothingness, and my body fell, and I didn't feel the slightest resistance.
Through the soil layer, there is a straight downward channel, the depth of the channel is about three meters, below is an artificial canal, there is water in the canal, and the flow rate is not slow.
After landing, I searched for traces of Cheng Laohan in the dark, he was not waiting for us on the bank of the canal as I imagined, and there was no trace of him in the darkness within a radius of 500 meters.
Originally, I thought that he would take advantage of the moment I landed, but I didn't expect to run ahead of schedule.
Seeing that there was no danger for the time being, I pulled my arm hard and directly pulled Lao Zuo down.
If he came like this, the others would surely come down on their heels, and I would have to go back to the ground to report to them.
When Lao Zuo landed, the green steel sword was already out of its sheath, but when he saw that I was the only one on the bank of the canal, he breathed a sigh of relief, and the long sword returned to the scabbard.
I was holding my flashlight and shining a light into the canal, when I saw that the rushing water in the canal was an overly vivid pale green, and from time to time there were a lot of bubbles gushing out of the water, as if something was ventilating rapidly under the surface of the water.
Lao Zuo walked to the side of the canal, sensed the Qi field in the water, and said, "It's stagnant water, and the corpse gas in it is relatively heavy." ”
As he spoke, he picked up his flashlight and sent the beam straight upstream of the canal.
The water in the canal is obviously flowing, but Lao Zuo said that they are stagnant water, which means that the water is really circulating repeatedly in a closed environment, and I suspect that the green color that emerges from the water should come from patina, and there must be a large number of bronze creations in a certain area underground.
