Chapter 228: The Phantom of Sumeru
The scattered rocks on the ground, as San'er moved more and more densely, and finally almost piled up, fortunately, these rocks are relatively loose, San'er can easily break them up by pulling a few times, and the road ahead of the dark road is not known how far it is, San'er will look around carefully for a while every time he walks, so as not to appear on the fork in the road and don't know the situation, but as San'er goes farther and farther, he is a little anxious in his heart, Zhang Renshan and Xiaoyue are now unknown where to go, There is only one person in the dark passage, and it seems that the surroundings are calm and peaceful, but the undercurrent surging in it is still unknown.

Walk further, there seems to be a glimmer of light in front of the dark passage, San'er looked up slightly and didn't know what the light came from, but it wasn't like a normal light, shaking his head San'er didn't dare to continue walking forward easily, thinking about turning around to see how far he had gone, but San'er was afraid that something would happen, and San'er stopped when he couldn't do it, and leaned against the wall of the dark passage on one side, he wanted to rest, but he suddenly found out, The hazy light in front of him slowly moved in the direction of his side, and now San'er was a little panicked, and his body immediately turned over, staring at the front, and now he wanted to say that he was waiting for the light to approach, which was definitely a bad idea, but to say that he took a few steps back, San'er was afraid that the intention of this light to come was to want to go backwards by himself, and San'er gritted his teeth when he was wandering, and now he couldn't leave easily, since the light dared to come, it means that it has discovered itself, To go or not to go will be a result, San'er looked at the light that was getting closer and closer in the distance, thinking about it, he felt that he couldn't sit still like this, and he moved towards the light, the hazy light in the distance, and saw San'er coming towards it and stopped slightly, as if he was observing, San'er was slowly approaching the light, and suddenly saw it paused for a while, and it also felt a little strange, it stands to reason that if it is really a demon, at this time I will be very happy to see this person not retreating but advancing, After all, cannibalism is their long work, and it is definitely impossible for the body to stop, but this light is a little dull before continuing to come towards San'er, obviously stopping to observe for a while, although San'er has not stopped but has already made a calculation in his heart: "I'm afraid that this light is not a monster at all." ”
A little bit of pinch in his heart here, San'er accelerated the speed of progress, just after leaving, San'er stopped suddenly, and when the light flashed in front of him, it was Xiaoyue who squatted on the side with a fox fire, and looked at San'er with a grin: "Little cub, why did you come here?" ”
"Huh? Fairy Gu turned out to be you! San'er heard the voice and looked up carefully, it was really Xiao Yue, who had disappeared before.
"You little cub is so slow, I've come here, you just came over" Xiaoyue complained after seeing San'er, but San'er had also heard too much of Xiaoyue's words before, and these words seemed to him as if he was chatting, waiting for Xiaoyue to finish complaining, San'er said: "Xiangu, Xian'er seems to be gone, have you seen him come here?" ”
"Yes! He's up ahead! Xiao Yue pointed to the front of the dark road, San'er turned his head and looked over, although there was still no light in front of him, but at least San'er knew that Zhang Renshan was safe and sound and there was no danger, just as San'er was about to say something to Xiao Yue again, he suddenly noticed that something was wrong, Xiao Yue went down to this dark road before the two, if you want to go ahead, Xiao Yue should be the first, and then Zhang Renshan, but now Xiao Yue is saying that Zhang Renshan is in front, San'er thought about it carefully, felt that there was still some faint uneasiness in his heart, and then spoke: "Fairy Gu, you just said that Xian'er is in front, right?" ”
Xiao Yue leaned against the wall of the secret passage on one side, and when she heard San'er's words, she turned her head a little and said, "Yes! The cub crawled faster than we did. ”
"It's not! Fairy Gu ...... Aren't you the first to go down this tunnel? Why did Xian'er run to the forefront now" San'er was a little stunned, he felt that this matter was a little unexplainable.
I wanted to wait for Xiaoyue to reply, but at the moment when San'er looked up, Xiaoyue's whole person turned directly into an illusion, and then the bright fox fire was also gone, and only San'er was left alone in the dark passage, looking at everything that happened in front of him, although San'er didn't have too much panic, but his body also shivered, this dark passage was like a nightmare land, what is true and what is false is simply difficult to figure out, a little relieved, San'er is trying to take a step forward, Fortunately, the ground is real, and the touch of the scattered rocks under the feet directly brings a trace of real feeling to San'er, and it moves forward for a short time, the lantern in San'er's hand flickered slightly, and the fire candle inside seems to be blown by the breeze, San'er looked down and only felt a little strange, the fire candle in the lantern was covered by a cover, except for the opening up and down, all around were surrounded tightly, mainly because of the fear of the wind coming, blowing out the flames on the fire candle, It stands to reason that even if there is really a wind blowing in this dark road, it is impossible to blow the flame in this lantern to shake and flicker, look at the strange lantern in his hand, San'er doesn't know what's going on, seeing that there is nothing abnormal around, San'er didn't think much about it, and continued to walk forward, but every time he walks, the light of the candle in this lantern will flicker a few times, San'er looks at the flickering light and feels that something is not quite right, but he doesn't know where there is a problem, swallowed his saliva San'er is stubborn and continues to walk forward, But as he went farther and farther, the light of the candle in the lantern was swaying more powerfully, and in the end it gave people a feeling that it was about to go out, San'er looked at the lantern and his heart was already beating a drum, and then maybe the flame in the lantern would suddenly go out, and then the surroundings would be completely dark, San'er didn't dare to think about what happened after the light of the lantern was extinguished, but now he had to go forward, and after a while, San'er was ready, saw the road ahead, and moved quickly under his feet, Even crawling in the middle of walking, San'er walked a long way.
The light of the lantern moved with San'er extremely fast this time, but it did not go out, but calmed down, the flame on the candle no longer swayed gently, but quietly began to burn gently, San'er frowned, thinking about the previous lantern matter, and said secretly in his heart: "Could it be that I just encountered something false?" ”
But the unfounded San'er didn't dare to draw conclusions easily, picking up a few rocks that slightly blocked the dark passage, San'er suddenly saw a light in front of him, the dark passage came to an end, a wooden board opened upwards was shown in front of San'er's eyes, the wooden board was obviously decorated with something, looking through the gap between the wooden boards, the outside was overgrown with weeds, San'er reached out and pushed, the wooden board on the top was opened in response, the body leaned up, San'er was unconsciously shocked, the place where the secret passage leads, it turned out to be the side of the crooked neck willow tree, Get up and climb out, San'er looked down, this secret passage opening is just under the wall of his house, almost close to the root of the crooked-necked willow tree, but it is artificially paved with a lot of weeds and soil, and then mixed with the surrounding natural environment, only by the naked eye is not able to see that there is a secret passage here, after thinking about it carefully, San'er felt that this place was a little strange and said secretly: "If you want to say that the people of the Qilin Club open a secret passage next to this crooked neck willow tree and go straight to the gatehouse, it is not impossible, But what is its purpose? Is it just for the convenience of entering and exiting, but if the concierge is all those people from the Qilin Society, there is almost no obstacle to the problem of entering and exiting, after all, at night, the guards at the main gate are almost all in the concierge, and a few people are put in from the outside at will, so what is the use of this secret passage? ”
San'er has a terrible headache here, he really can't figure out the meaning of this dark passage after it is built, but at least now San'er knows that almost all of the guards before this gatehouse are the subordinates of the Qilin Society, and the abnormalities that appeared before in the house are estimated to be inextricably linked with these people. Although there are still some scattered stones on the ground, but it is not surprising, the dark passage has been explored, San'er still has not found anything, looking at everything in front of him that is both familiar and unfamiliar, San'er can only sigh, shake his head and begin to walk back along the root of his own courtyard wall, just leaving the range of the river, San'er is to see a person sitting in front of the main gate of his house, the body is not very strong but it is also so majestic, but after all, it is now at night, San'er is far away, and he can't see it so clearly, San'er decided to step forward to take a good look, but before San'er moved, the person sitting in front of his house disappeared in a trance, as if he had disappeared out of thin air, San'er was suddenly stunned when he saw it, and quickly reached out and pinched himself, and the pain came San'er cracked his mouth slightly, shook his head and muttered to himself: "Did I see a ghost?" ”
San'er's words had just been uttered, but someone on the side suddenly accosted: "Yes! You just see a ghost. ”
Late at night, the bright moon in the sky is slanting westward, there is almost no one around, only San'er stands alone in the barren grass beside the river, when the words came suddenly, San'er's blood has been frightened to stop, the hair is upside down, San'er quickly turned around and looked around, when the light flashed, San'er's surroundings were not a single figure, cold sweat began to drip down San'er's face, swallowed saliva San'er's voice was a little trembling and said: "Who is who!?" ”
No one answered and there was no other sound, standing in the barren grass San'er was already a little afraid to stay, quickly ran towards the main gate of his house in a flash, only in the blink of an eye San'er was directly to the place, the main gate was fortunately not closed, San'er stepped in, there were some guards on both sides, seeing San'er suddenly came back from the outside is a little strange, one of them is to San'er said: "Butler, when did you go out?" Why didn't we see that? ”
San'er didn't want to pay attention to these people and waved his hand without words, and a few guards naturally didn't dare to say anything when they saw it, and they stood back in their previous position and continued to stand by the front gate, San'er kept panting in his mouth, and his heart was always counting up what had just happened, to say that he saw a ghost, San'er was not so scared, but he just couldn't stand this kind of thing, knowing that the thing was beside him, but you had no way of knowing where he was, this kind of thing that made people numb, San'er was the most unacceptable.
Raising his hand to push the door of the door, San'er wanted to go in and take a good time, but found that Xiaoyue and Zhang Renshan were sitting at the table and chair in the gatehouse, drinking tea while looking at the door, San'er's face was full of surprise, thinking about asking a few words, but because of what happened just now, he couldn't speak for a while, and his feet moved San'er stood inside the gatehouse, closed the door with his backhand, and looked at the two of them stupidly.
Zhang Renshan took a sip of tea and saw San'er standing motionless by the door, so he smiled and said, "What's wrong with San'er?" ”
Where is San'er still in the mood to speak now, listening to Zhang Renshan's words, he didn't even know how to open his mouth, Xiaoyue saw some clues, patted Zhang Renshan's shoulder and said, "He was very surprised to see the two of us appear here." ”
"Oh! That's it! Zhang Renshan listened to Xiaoyue's words, reached out and took a teacup, then poured a cup of tea for San'er, raised his hand and handed it to San'er, and then continued: "Give ...... San'er, you suppress the shock first, and I'll explain this matter to you. ”
San'er didn't speak and put the lantern in his hand aside after extinguishing it, and then took the tea handed to him by Zhang Renshan and drank it all, Zhang Renshan saw that San'er eased up a lot and sat on the chair and said: "San'er, don't think so much, I didn't encounter any danger with the fox, when you left the entrance of the cave, I was thinking about walking forward, but I happened to meet the fox running back from the front, I was also very strange why the fox ran back, and then she explained that I knew that the monster that robbed Xiao Lingling, Although it was to walk this dark road, but it did not go to the end, but in the corner of the place, opened a road on its own, I and the fox found out and chased all the way over, the lantern was actually deliberately left for you, after all, you have to use it to illuminate when you want to come down, isn't it! Later, the fox and I chased all the way along the underground passage opened by the monster, and finally intercepted it, fortunately, Xiao Lingling's life was great, and the monster hadn't done anything to her, and then the thing was what we often did in the mountains before, and the monster told me and the fox to clean up well, but when we took Xiao Lingling back, we found that the underground passage dug out by the monster was completely closed by itself, and then there was really no other way, and the fox and I dug a way out by ourselves, San'er, don't say that we really succeeded in digging it back. ”
San'er stood aside and listened to Zhang Renshan's explanation, although there are some places where San'er can understand, but there are still a lot of questions, San'er calmed down a little and then said to Zhang Renshan: "Xian'er, you mean, there is another way to go at the corner of the dark road?" ”
"Hmmm! There is indeed another one, but we have to use the fox to cast a spell before we can see it," Zhang Renshan turned his head to look at San'er Dao, who was already a little more normal.
"Oh! So it's no wonder that when I went down to the secret passage, you and the fairy girl were gone, so you went to the other end! San'er thought about the situation when he arrived at the corner of the dark passage before, and said with a slight ease.
Zhang Renshan nodded and didn't explain anything, stretched out his hand and moved the chair next to him and then beckoned to San'er, San'er didn't think so much, he walked over, sat on the chair, looked at the two and continued: "You don't know, the secret passage is simply too dangerous, and some strange things will appear from time to time." ”
"Oh...... That's what you're talking about! Little cub, you saw the demon magic left by the monster, and it was mainly afraid that someone would find out the passage it had excavated, so it used some false techniques to intimidate you mortals, so that you would not dare to easily investigate the road below," Xiao Yue drank a cup of tea and then explained to San'er.
"So...... What I saw down there was all an illusion, wasn't it? San'er hesitated for a moment, and then said in a trance.
"Hmmm! That's right, it's all fake, just to scare you," Xiao Yue smiled at the corner of her mouth, and then looked at San'er and said.
"Uh......" San'er didn't know what to say, but he was a little angry in his heart, smiled awkwardly on his face, and didn't say anything else.
Zhang Renshan shook his body, leaned on the back of his chair, looked at the top of the gatehouse, and said, "Where does Xian'er's secret passage lead to in the end?" ”
"Oh! This one! Xian'er's secret passage is simply unbelievable to me, you didn't expect it to end up next to the crooked neck willow tree where we went at that time," San'er blinked twice and then said.
"Where are you going?" When Zhang Renshan heard this, he lowered his head again, and looked at San'er.
"That's the problem, I still don't understand why," San'er had nothing to say, only told the doubts in his heart.
Zhang Renshan shook his head helplessly when he heard that San'er didn't make a fuss: "It seems that the people of this Qilin Club are also a little strange in doing things. ”
"Xian'er, what you said is really a bit right, aren't all the strange things we see and hear in that mountain!" San'er looked at Zhang Renshan and said.
"Hmph...... That's what I said," Zhang Renshan blinked twice, and then took a sip of tea.
San'er looked at Xiao Yue and Zhang Renshan and suddenly thought of what happened to him just now, and wanted to hurry up and talk to Xiao Yue, but the door of the gatehouse was suddenly knocked......
