Chapter 20: The Stone Cave
Before the stone gate was fully raised, Yi Tianyue pulled up Yun Hanzhi, and the two of them bent down into the cave.
Yun Hanzhi only felt that her eyes were dark, and before she could ask Yi Tianyue what was going on, he stretched out his hand and didn't know what he pressed on the side of the stone gate, and the stone gate that had risen halfway down quickly came down.
As the stone gate descended, the originally faint light in the cave disappeared, and the entire cave was pitch black.
In the darkness, Yun Hanzhi couldn't see anything clearly, and since Yi Tianyue had been holding her, she wasn't afraid.
Yun Hanzhi silently moved closer to Yi Tianyue, and was about to ask him what was going on, when he suddenly heard the sound of someone talking outside the cave.
Yun Hanzhi listened for a while, and could only be sure that there were at least two people outside, she couldn't hear what the two people were talking about, she only knew that those two people should not be from Jindu, or even from Jinguo.
After a while, there was no sound outside the cave.
Yi Tianyue led Yun Hanzhi to the cave for a while and stopped, Yi Tianyue seemed to have groped for a while and touched a fire fold. Through the faint light of the fire, Yun Hanzhi saw a stone niche, it seems that the fire fold that Yi Tianyue took just now should have been taken out of this stone niche, there is also an oil lamp in the stone niche, and Yi Tianyue has already lit the oil lamp.
Behind the stone niche, there is a rope. Yi Tianyue pulled it, and the cave suddenly lit up.
Yun Hanzhi looked up and saw a spot of light the size of a bowl above his head. The stone walls above and around the head are embedded with copper mirrors at angles of circumference. The light shuttles back and forth between the bronze mirrors, making the cave not as bright as the outside, and not much worse than the room lit at night.
Yun Hanzhi approached Yi Tianyue and asked him with a gesture if he could speak now.
Yi Tianyue nodded, and he asked, "Is there a question to ask?" ”
Yun Han's head is like pounding garlic, she not only has questions to ask, but she has a basket of questions to ask. She asked the first question, "Who's out there?" Why should we avoid them? ”
Yi Tianyue said: "It's a Rong countryman." ”
"Rong people?" Yun Han knew it, no wonder she couldn't understand what they were saying. Yun Hanzhi felt that the tone of what they spoke just now seemed to be a little anxious, the two people who spoke seemed to be masters and servants, and what they said should not be sighing about the scenery here, Yun Hanzhi asked tentatively: "Can you understand their words?" They weren't coming to us, were they? ”
"You're looking for us." Yi Tianyue replied: "I have been in the north for a few years before, and I can understand Rong Mandarin. ”
Yun Hanzhi didn't have a good impression of the Rong people, and the only few times he dealt with the Rong people, one of them was tied up again, and once he heard that the Rong people were framing her second uncle, and he intuitively felt that it was not a good thing for the Rong people to come to them. Yun Hanzhi asked, "What are they looking for us to do?" ”
Yi Tianyue's sword eyebrows sank, and said: "Entrusted by others, take my life." ”
This Yun Hanzhi was even more surprised, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the people of Rong dared to come to take Yi Tianyue's life, and they were too bold! Since the other party is so bold, he must be a very powerful person in Jindu, Yun Hanzhi guessed: "Could it be the fourth prince?" ”
She didn't know anything about politics, but she knew that what Yi Tianyue investigated in the north would definitely offend the four princes. In her cognition, the one who can attack Yi Tianyue is the fourth prince.
"Should we go back sooner now?" Yun Han asked.
Yun Hanzhi knew in his heart that Yi Feng or the guards did not come with him today. Although Yi Tianyue's martial arts are strong, Xishan is not his territory.
Yi Tianyue shook his head and said, "We can't go back tonight." ”
"Why?" Yun Hanzhi blurted out.
"Listen to their intentions, they will search this place thoroughly, and even if they get out of here, there is no guarantee that they will not stay on the other side of the iron bridge. I'm not sure how many people are out there and don't want to do anything with them. Yi Leaned more and more to Yun Hanzhi explained. If the other party used Yun Hanzhi to threaten him, he probably had nothing to do.
Yun Hanzhi expressed his understanding, after all, two fists are hard to beat four hands. She basically doesn't know anything about martial arts, she can only take a horse step, and if the two sides really want to fight, she is undoubtedly a burden.
Yun Hanzhi remembered that Yi Tianyue said that the other party would search this place thoroughly, and she was worried: "Should we prepare, in case they find the mechanism of the stone gate." ”
Yi Tianyue said: "Even if they find out about that mechanism, they can't open it." ”
Yun Hanzhi was puzzled, "Why can you open it?" It seems that Yi Tingyue is quite familiar with this place, "Just because you were here last time?" How did you discover the secret of the mechanism last time? ”
Yi Tianyue explained: "The techniques of those mechanisms are a little familiar, I tried it and opened it. ”
Yun Hanzhi remembered the cave in the north and the tunnels in Uncle Wen's manor, both of which were quite magical, and she asked, "Wouldn't this cave also be the handiwork of Uncle Wen and Aunt Wen?" ”
Yi Tianyue shook his head, "I asked them, no." In fact, he suspected that the cave had something to do with her grandfather's house, and because of the fact that he was being chased very tightly last time and was injured, he didn't study the mechanism properly, and he didn't find the right time to come here. Now that I'm here today, let's take a look at this cave.
"By the way, where are those murals you were talking about?" Yun Hanzhi asked.
Speaking of which, she said that there were murals and stories in it, and she temporarily came to see the peak.
"Follow me." Yi Tianyue said, Yun Hanzhi and she thought of going together, maybe they could find some clues from the murals.
Yi Tianyue and Yun Hanzhi walked forward for more than ten meters, and the originally wide place suddenly narrowed, turning into a passage that only one person could pass through. The two walked into the passage one after the other, Yi Leanyue was in front, and Yun Hanzhi was close behind.
In each row and section, a stone niche will appear on the stone wall, and the setting of the stone niche is the same as the one Yun Hanzhi saw earlier. Therefore, whenever Yun Hanzhi feels that the light is dark, he will lean over the rope and there will be light spots in front of him. After a detour along the narrow road, the passage disappeared, and Yun Hanzhi thought that they had reached the end.
But she thought to herself, since Yi Tianyue said that there were murals, then this was definitely not the end. Sure enough, Yi Tianyue knocked a few times on the stone wall at the end, the stone slab blocking the front disappeared, and Yun Hanzhi and Yi Tianyue walked into a spacious and deep stone chamber that was wider than the place where they entered the cave.
This time, before Yi Tilt entered the stone room, he took the lamp from the last stone niche, lit the lamp and walked in.
Yun Hanzhi was puzzled: "Is there something in this stone room that can't see the sunlight, so can't you use the sunlight outside the cave like before?" ”
Yi Tianyue shook his head, "Maybe it's okay, but I can't find the mechanism." ”
"Oh." Yun Hanzhi was used to the previous brightness, and suddenly there was only an oil lamp left in the big stone room in front of him, and Yun Hanzhi was a little uncomfortable with the dimness here.
