Chapter 708: Cliff Chains
I thought I was in a desperate situation, but I didn't expect it to be a dead end in the end. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Wu Zhiyuan was bitter in his heart, expecting that the snakes behind him had already chased after this hole, and within a moment and a half, the two of them would be bitten by the snakes. He imagined the situation when the snakes caught up, and suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and suddenly asked the Moon Shadow Fuxian a seemingly unrelated question: "After we entered the house, I made a fire in the kang cave, did you smell the smoke at that time?" ”
"Smoke?" Moon Shadow Fuxian was stunned, and wanted to turn her head and ask for an understanding, but this hole was extremely narrow, and she couldn't turn back at all, recalling for a moment, she seemed to understand the purpose of Wu Zhiyuan's question, so she replied, "I didn't smell smoke, because there was no smoke in the house at that time." ”
"Sure enough, there was no smoke." Wu Zhiyuan muttered, "If we make a fire in the kang cave, there will definitely be smoke, but we didn't smell the smoke in the house, which means that there is a place in the kang cave where smoke can be exhausted." And we've only found this one, so it's not going to be a dead end! ”
"But the front has indeed been blocked by mud and rocks, maybe this hole was dug here in the first place." Moon Shadow Fuxian stretched out his hand and pushed hard against the mud and stone in front of him, but the mud and stone did not move at all.
Wu Zhiyuan felt strange, he pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Look at the top of your head!" ”
Moon Shadow Fuxian looked up and was overjoyed, only to see that there was a small hole on the top of the cave, and its size was not much different from the hole he was in now.
"Sure enough, there is an exit!" Moon Shadow Fuxian smiled happily, only blaming himself for crawling along the cave all the time, not paying attention to the situation above his head at all, because he didn't notice the hole above his head at all.
The two climbed up the hole one after the other, the hole was straight up, the mud and stone on the wall of the cave were not easy to climb, fortunately the hole was not too long, the two only climbed a few feet away, and then saw the exit.
The exit is a stone cave again, the stone cave is horizontal, there is more than one person high, the cave is relatively spacious, although there is no lighting tool, there is a faint light in the cave, but it is relatively dim, and you can barely see.
Wu Zhiyuan and Moon Shadow Fuxian walked side by side, because the situation in this stone cave was unknown, the two of them did not walk fast, and they were always vigilant.
The walls of the cave are rough, but the top is covered with fine moss, and although it is late winter, the temperature in the cave is suitable, and the moss is not affected by the cold wind outside, and it grows extremely densely.
"This cave must be some years old." Wu Zhiyuan looked at the cave walls on both sides as he walked, and said in a low voice.
Moon Shadow Fuxian didn't speak, his eyes looked straight ahead, and he suddenly pointed to the front and said, "Zhiyuan, look, there is an exit ahead." ”
Wu Zhiyuan looked ahead, and sure enough, he saw the entrance of the cave, but it was a fog outside the entrance, and he didn't know what the situation was.
"Let's take a look." Wu Zhiyuan took the hand of the Moon Shadow Fuxian, and the two walked briskly in the direction of the cave entrance.
Seeing that when he walked to the entrance of the cave, Wu Zhiyuan suddenly stopped, and at the same time stretched out his hand to stop the Moon Shadow Fuxian, who was about to ask, and when he saw the situation in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh.
I saw that there is a cliff outside the entrance of the cave, the opposite side of the cliff is a mountain that goes straight up and down like a knife, it is very steep, look at the top of the mountain on the opposite side, you can only see a fog, but the end of the fog is faintly bright, it should be the sun, but the fog in this cliff is too heavy, and the sunlight cannot shine in at all. And when I looked down at the cliff, I could only see clouds and mist, and I couldn't see the bottom.
Wu Zhiyuan and Moon Shadow Fuxian were standing only one step away from the edge of the cliff at this time, and if they took another step forward, the two of them would fall down and fall to pieces.
"It's a dead end again." Wu Zhiyuan looked at the cliff under his feet, and his heart was slightly cold.
"How can there be a hole in a stone house that leads to such a place?" Moon Shadow Fuxian felt a little strange and asked puzzled.
"The hole in the stone house should act as a chimney, and the smoke from burning firewood in the kang hole will drift here through the hole." Wu Zhiyuan speculated, "No wonder the smoke here is so thick, it should be all the smoke floating from the kang cave." ”
"But how could the owner of the stone house think of leading the smoke from the kang cave here? Wouldn't it be easier for him to directly lead the chimney of the kang cave to the outside of the stone house, why should he go far? Moon Shadow Fu Immortal felt that the hole that the two of them had just climbed over was not as simple as the chimney.
"Did he deliberately put the smoke into this cliff break?" Wu Zhiyuan vaguely understood something, "Is he trying to cover up this cliff and not be discovered by outsiders?" ”
"Possibly." Moon Shadow Fuxian nodded, "If I have a strong premonition, this place is not far from the legendary Yinshan Ancient Tomb, that is, the Nine Heavens Fairy Tomb. ”
Wu Zhiyuan was shocked when he heard this, he believed in the premonition of the Moon Shadow Fuxian, because a woman's premonition was often the most accurate.
"But where do we go now" Moon Shadow Fuxian muttered to herself, frowning, looking up at the top of the cave, she had already begun to pay attention to the situation on the top of the cave with the lesson she had just learned.
Wu Zhiyuan took a step forward slightly, wanting to take a closer look at the situation under the cliff, and suddenly, he found a chain swinging on the edge of the cliff under his feet.
The chain was jet black, made of unknown materials, about the thickness of an adult's arm, and one end was embedded in the stone wall on the edge of the cliff, and the other end hung down the stone wall, with no end in sight.
"This chain is the road!" Wu Zhiyuan said in surprise.
Moon Shadow Fuxian looked down when he heard the sound, and his face was also happy, although the situation at the end of the chain was unknown, it was much better than having no way out.
"I'll go down first." Wu Zhiyuan leaned over and grabbed the iron chain, and slowly crawled along the iron chain foot pedal stone wall towards the cliff.
Moon Shadow Fuxian squatted on the edge of the cliff, watching Wu Zhi get farther and farther away from her, she was afraid that Wu Zhiyuan would disappear from her sight, so she also grabbed the chain and slid down the stone wall.
It is much easier to go down the chain than to climb up by grabbing the chain, but after a long time, the arm strength is still a little unbearable, Wu Zhiyuan secretly lucked his vitality, poured his palms, and tried his best to grasp the chain tighter.
After climbing down for half a pillar of incense, he never reached the end of the iron chain, and he didn't find any other exit, Wu Zhiyuan beat a drum in his heart, and he couldn't help but think of the iron chain that locked the dragon in the pool in Shizhong Mountain, if there was also a dragon locked under this iron chain, then weren't the two of them approaching the dragon pool at this time?
Just thinking about it, Wu Zhiyuan suddenly felt the iron chain in his hand tremble violently, he was taken aback, looked down and saw that the iron chain below was shaking back and forth, as if something below was holding the iron chain and shaking it constantly
