The two men were about forty or fifty years old, but the man holding the girl's hand looked extremely mature and reliable, and at first glance, he really looked like a father and daughter.

The girl seems to have just come of age, and she should be the same age as Zheng Fang, Shui Ling's big eyes look so moving all the time, even a person like Hong Mingtian, who didn't have much thought about girls, felt that his heart shrank violently, as if time stopped at the scene where the girl passed in front of him.

Following the two adults, the girl's eyes also swept to the young man who was meditating and staring at her, and for a moment her eyes were facing each other, and somehow, the girl's cheeks were slightly crimson, like a shy fawn. This moment seemed to be imprinted in Hong Mingtian's heart, making him forget the time and breathe.

I don't know how long it took, Hong Mingtian came to his senses, the girl in front of him had already left, but her face and her eyes appeared in the depths of his heart all the time, as if they couldn't be erased.

Forcibly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then closed his eyes vigorously, Hong Mingtian tried hard not to think about that girl, now recovery is the most important thing, and he didn't go back all night, it is estimated that those two guys are already pacing back and forth in the room in a hurry, right?

Pacing back and forth? No, it was dawn, Zheng Fang flashed to the roof, facing the east, meditating and sealing, exhaling the turbidity of the body and the clear qi of the outside world, which became a cycle in turn, while Fei Xuan was still sleeping at the head of the bed, and he still muttered a few words "wine, good wine" in his mouth.

If Hong Mingtian knew about this, it is estimated that his lungs would be blown up. But having said that, if there is no longer any need to stay, Hong Mingtian has no choice but to go back.

......

"Have the wounded been counted?" Dai Jianghe asked as he poured himself a cup of tea and asked one of the guards who came in a hurry. It was a quieter room, not so small that even the four of them seemed a little overwhelmed.

"Enlightened Sect Master, the wounded have been counted, the number of ordinary people killed by the fire has reached thirty-seven, the number of wounded has reached sixty, of which seven are paralyzed by serious injuries, and thirteen of our people have died in the fire, and one person has been injured, and there is no serious problem. The villagers outside have settled down, and all that remains is to wait for the fire to go out before going back. The guards announced.

"Okay, I see, you go down. Dai Jianghe commanded, and the guard obediently retreated, finally making room for the room, and then turned his gaze to Gu Ling, as if he wanted to know from him what to do next.

"Just leave these trivial things to your subordinates, and now the most important thing is ......" Before Gu Ling could finish speaking, another guard hurriedly ran in from outside, and hurriedly reported, "Report to the sect master, we found a cave in the north of the third mountain of Qingshui Mountain, and it is preliminarily confirmed that it should be a certain mine cave, and please send the master to give an order!"

This news all shocked Dai Jianghe and Gu Ling, but they hadn't found any mines in Qingshui Mountain before, but now they were burned down by Jiang Yiqing like this, and they were discovered by mistake? Dai Jianghe forcibly calmed down, and immediately ordered, "Okay, notify you to stay put, let's clean up and pass." ”

The guards retreated and passed Dai Jianghe's orders. Gu Ling and Dai Jianghe looked at each other, all of them showing a look of surprise, not to mention what was in the mine, even if there was nothing, wouldn't they have another place to take refuge? If there was really something, it would naturally be the best.

And Xiao Yu, who was sitting next to Gu Ling, looked at their strange way of chatting and didn't pay attention to it, but after a while, Dai Jianghe picked up a long stick, and Gu Ling led Xiao Yu and a group of subordinates to the so-called mine cave with a steel gun in his hand.

Even Hong Mingtian, who was meditating and cultivating in a relatively secluded place, could feel the restlessness outside, although there were only a few scattered urging sounds, and most of the rest were the sound of hurried footsteps, which was enough to attract Hong Mingtian's attention.

"What's going on outside, come over and take a look!" The curiosity in his heart was aroused, Hong Mingtian stood up from the meditative posture, and quietly followed behind a group of people who were hurrying in one direction. It was about half an hour later, but fortunately, Hong Mingtian was not discovered by others, otherwise they would not have been able to reach their destination this time - outside a relatively hidden mining cave.

In front of these three people, there was a man of about thirty years old, who was dressed very ordinarily and had a relatively thin body, and a layer of thorns and vines was removed, revealing the hole that was only one meter eight high and one meter two wide, and almost only allowed one person to pass through.

"Sure enough, it's hidden enough, I hope there's something inside!, Mr. Gu, you stay outside to protect Miss Jiang first, and let me go in to find out." Dai Jianghe stopped Gu Ling outside, which did not arouse Gu Ling's disgust, but made him feel kind. The situation inside is unknown for the time being, and Dai Jianghe led more than a dozen subordinates to enter through the cave in turn.

At first, it was fine, but some light shone in at the edge of the hole, but the more you went inside, the more dim the light became, and in the end, more than a dozen people were completely engulfed in endless darkness. As a last resort, he retreated in turn, and instructed several subordinates to bring fire folds and explore the contents again.

"Be careful, the ground here is rough and wet, don't slip. The subordinates reminded each other, paying more attention in the deep cave. The number of fire folds is limited, more than a dozen people, one for each person, and even then it can only illuminate a certain range inside.

However, it can be clearly seen that there doesn't seem to be much worth noting, except that there are three entrances, which appear in the left, right, and front directions of the crowd. I don't know if these three entrances lead to the same place, in order to determine the authenticity of this, Dai Jianghe decided to divide the troops into three ways.

The crowd was divided into three equal parts, and the brightness emitted by the fire fold was also weakened a lot, and Dai Jianghe led four subordinates to the front entrance, which was two or three times larger than the one outside, allowing two people to enter side by side. The warm light of the fire fold shone on the surrounding rock walls, and you could see a few black blocks scattered on the rock walls.

The largest stone is only the size of a human head, and the rest is the size of a fist. Unlike other stones, these stones embedded in the rock wall can also glow black under the faint light of the fire.

Dai Jianghe poked into the first position, except for the stones that were somewhat different from ordinary stones, there was nothing suspicious, and when he led the team to walk in, he found that something seemed wrong.

From the depths of the cave came a "squeak" sound that was sharp and piercing, sounding like rats. Of course, they are not afraid of rats, what they are afraid of is only the unknown, and before they see the true face of Lushan with this voice, everyone inside does not dare to take it lightly.

Sure enough, the answer was finally revealed, it was a bat. Bats are not scary, but to the surprise of many people, the size of this bat is so large that it is the size of a wild dog, and even the wingspan can touch the rock walls on both sides, marking a thin trace on the rock wall.

This is definitely not an ordinary bat, they actually have a lion-like mane in their necks, which looks very dangerous, one by one getting closer and closer to Dai Jianghe and the others, and the harsh sound is becoming more and more obvious.

"Get down!" Dai Jianghe whispered, and the five of them were prostrate on the ground almost at the same time, and about four giant bats above their heads almost attacked the five of them and flew into the wider cave outside.

"How can there be such big bats? They're back, lie down again!" As soon as several of his subordinates stood up, they looked in the direction they had come, only to find that the bats had flown back and immediately lay down in warning. This time it was even more dangerous than the previous one, and the two deadly subordinates could even feel a cold wind blowing on their backs, and their wings even flapped on their backs.

"If you're guessing correctly, these should be a mountain of giant clawed bats, so there should be a bat king in it. Dai Jianghe said secretly, but he was not in a hurry to explore again.

He knows that bats are generally in groups, and the ghost knows how many giant bats there are, besides, there are a lot of poisons in the cave, even if he enters with the strength of the four mountains, he will be attacked by one of them, and when the time comes, he will die of poison, and there is no place to bury the dead.

After a while, more than a dozen people who had entered had all come out, and according to the subordinates who had entered the other two caves, they had also encountered several giant bats, so perhaps the three entrances inside were connected.

Gu Ling thought for a moment and said, "Prepare more firewood, put it in those three entrances and light it, and then you will come out, smoke these bats, and slaughter them all in an open place, so that you can know what is deeper." ”

Hearing this method, the big guys all thought it was easy, so they hurriedly went to pick up some dry firewood and dead leaves, and after a while, it was ready, and after one of the guards in the cave shouted "It's okay", Dai Jianghe ordered the firewood to be burned. After a long time, thick smoke billowed out of the cave.

"All stand back, find a relatively open place to avoid first!" Dai Jianghe immediately ordered, but after all, there were more than 100 people coming, and although their location was relatively empty, it still seemed so crowded.

"Come out, get ready to fight!"
