Chapter 202: Secret Exploration of the Underground Tunnel
They don't know what's in the cave. It's good to have someone to lead the way.
Murong Qiufeng saw Shangguan Ye nodding at him. Then he took out another bottle of medicine from his sleeve pocket. Pour out a pill and give it to Shangguan Ye. After coming here. They usually carry medicine with them. However, Shangguan Ye always has to act as a charge-taker. So the task of bringing things was given to him. Anyway, according to Yuka's words. They are all inseparable. Whoever carries it is the same.
Shangguan Ye directly clicked on the woman's acupoint. Let her open her mouth and throw the medicine in. Then he grabbed the woman's shoulders and told her to sit up. A slap on her back.
The woman couldn't help but cough. But the breath is much more even. Shangguan Ye took the opportunity to check her again. I found out that she was really deaf and dumb. There was no tongue in his mouth. And the ears were also injured. Apparently not born deaf. Rather, they were brutally abolished. It's still a long time. I think he was poisoned at a young age.
It's a pity that Shangguan Ye is not a soft-hearted person. Naturally, I can't sympathize. She didn't wait for her to recover. He stood up and said coldly. "Lead the way." The only pity is that this woman is deaf and dumb. Can't ask anything.
Anyone with a disability. There will always be a flaw. The other is particularly prominent. The woman was deaf and dumb. But the senses are extremely acute. You can judge the frequency of sound based on your breath and know some information about the person. Even if you can't hear it. But again, let her meet the voice she had heard. She still recognized it for sure. And she couldn't listen. But he knows lip language.
See what Shangguan Ye said. He nodded meekly. Then he slowly stood up on the ground.
They weren't afraid of her tricks. Anyway, it's nothing more than fighting and killing.
The woman walked ahead. Shangguan Ye walked behind her. Holding a fire fold for lighting. Murong Qiufeng was behind. The passages are narrow and almost allow one person to pass through. And the closer you go. The lower the above. It's like a slope. You can easily reach the top by reaching up. As they walked, they guessed what was above the passage. This tunnel is unfathomable. Looking at the surrounding stone walls is not natural. It's built and piled up by hand. And it's smooth to get into. Apparently it's been quite a few years. The stone walls were also a little wet and cold. Looks like it would have been too damp if it weren't for this tunnel. It may be surrounded by water.
But if it's true, it's the second guess. I can dig a tunnel into the water. Not to be underestimated. This craft must have been the work of some of the more advanced architects. Then there must be a mechanism as well.
Shangguan Ye held Murong Qiufeng's hand behind him. Fingers tapped lightly on the back of his hand. Motioned for him to be careful.
I walked for about half an hour. The woman finally stopped. Turning his head to look at them. Then he pointed to both sides. It seems to be asking where they are going.
That's when they knew. It's all at the three-way intersection. Shangguan Ye simply skimmed the two ways. Asked. "It's all where it leads."
The woman seemed to hesitate. This was followed by a few gestures.
Those gestures are not blind. Rather, it's some gestures that hint at specialization. As a killer and a general on the battlefield. Naturally some gestures are needed. So he can understand. Murong Qiufeng couldn't understand it.
Shangguan also said sideways. "You mean two roads, one leading to the exit. One leads to the core. ”
The woman nodded. There seemed to be a hint of weirdness in his eyes for a moment. Just quickly. It was so fast that even Shangguan Ye didn't notice it.
Since it's here. Naturally, it's a good way to explore. Both of them tacitly chose the passage to the core place.
The woman did not show any dissatisfaction or concern. It seems that they are not afraid of letting others discover their secrets. This also surprised Shangguan Ye and Murong Qiufeng the most. The main thing is that the woman's expression hasn't changed much. The one who has been obedient leads the way. It's like this has nothing to do with her.
Walked another way. Shangguan Ye suddenly stopped. Murong Qiufeng, who was behind, could only stop. He looked at him suspiciously.
The woman in front of her didn't seem to feel the footsteps and turned back. See them stop. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. Then there was a smile on his face. The corners of his mouth hooked slightly. Then turn around and continue walking. It's just not as smooth as it used to be. Instead, after taking a few steps, the figure was a little fluttering.
Both of them noticed her feet at the same time. Left and right. Minor and heavy. It's very rhythmic. It's like dancing on a dance step.
Murong Qiufeng also understood. It looks like I've encountered a trap array. And at this time, the woman had already gone through the formation. He was standing not far away and smiling at them. There seemed to be a hint of terror and provocation in that smile.
Both are gifted people. I've already memorized that footwork in my heart. Take a look. Nod. He stepped into the formation one after the other. Walk over with a light touch.
The woman saw them walk smoothly. The look of surprise in his eyes grew thicker and thicker. But there seemed to be a faint sense of joy in the surprise. Turn your head and keep walking.
It's not as easy as it used to be. Almost every thirty paces will have a trap formation. And it's more complicated than the other. Even Shangguan Ye had been specially trained by Old Man Bai Feng to form a formation mechanism. In the back, I began to feel solemn. There were a few formations he had only heard of. But I have not seen it. And it's still a peerless school. It seems that this secret sect is not simple.
Fortunately, the woman didn't seem to want to embarrass them. There was no danger. Safely pass through those trap formations. Otherwise, with the two of them. Maybe you won't be trapped or hurt by these things. But it takes a lot of energy and time.
No wonder the hole was closed. They didn't send anyone down to check on them. this place. Estimated for the average person. No matter how good the martial arts are. As long as you don't know how to move the formation. Don't talk about going out. It's hard to even find out. If the mechanism is touched. It's likely that your life will be lost here.
Almost half a column of incense was gone. I didn't encounter the Trap Formation again. But it was as if it had come to an end.
The woman looked back. Place your hand gently on your lips. Make a gesture to them. He raised his hand and pressed down on a certain wall. Suddenly, the inverted closed wall in front of it slid upward. Pumped up. A door is exposed.
The two looked at each other. Be vigilant. Shangguan Ye leaned slightly sideways in front of him. The hand rests on the handle of the knife tied to the back. Make a pose that will be withdrawn at any time.
As soon as the door opened. The first thing that catches the eye is the two stone statues that stand out from the door. It looks like a soldier with a trident. But the first thing they noticed was that the statue moved instantly. It was as if he had noticed their arrival and turned around.
The woman raised her hand and made a few strokes on the bottom of the top of the stone door. And the stone statue turned back. No more moving.
