Chapter 558: Tunnels
Gently drawing the sword, a piece of silver light was as amazing as flowing water. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info This is a good sword, at least not worse than the handle of the Reflecting Moon Lotus that he once had. Such a sword is not like the sword used by the swordsmen of the rivers and lakes.
This sword is relatively thick, the sword is three fingers wide, and the thickness of the sword spine is nearly half a finger. The real one can be called a heavy sword. The swordsmanship of the swordsmen in the rivers and lakes has always taken the light route, and there are very few who generally use heavy swords, which is a typical military sword.
The military sword is made in a completely different way from the light sword, and it is an untold secret in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, this sword should have been made by the Ministry of Works. can be worthy of such a good sword, the entire Great Zhou is estimated to be not much.
"General—" Suddenly, a greeting rang out the door. Ning Yue hurriedly put the sword back in its place, and her figure flashed back to the roof again.
The general gently pushed the door open and lit the candle. Slowly came to the front of the long sword and gently took off the sword. Holding the sword, he slowly came to the table and sat down slowly. The eyes that looked at the sword were full of memories and sorrow.
"Bang-" A sword was drawn, and a cold light shone out, as if to light up the entire room. The sword light is like water, rippling with autumn waves. The action is smooth and smooth, but the gestures are full of heroism to guide the country.
The general gently took out the silk cloth from his arms and carefully wiped the sword body, and in the reflection of the sword body, there was an old face. He was also heroic back then, he was also full of pride, he also galloped on the frontier back then, and he was ...... back then. It is also a shining star in the hall.
But at this moment, he had to admit that the white-haired old man in front of him, whose eyes had also become cloudy, was himself. No matter how much unwillingness he has, he can't change reality. The years that were lost will be lost forever.
The general fell into a deep memory, and took the trouble to wipe his sword over and over again. And Ning Yue, who was on the roof, gradually lost her patience. Perhaps infected by the old man's sadness, Ning Yue seemed to understand the feeling of the hero's twilight. Win the name before and after your death, poor white happens!
Ning Yue guessed that the old man's past must have been a heroic figure. Otherwise, it would be impossible to have this kind of cultivation, let alone pass on the military array, and it would definitely not show such a strong sadness as now.
But no matter who the old man used to be, it had nothing to do with Ning Yue at this moment. In the end, this group of people is still not from the Xuanyin Sect, and they have nothing to do with the Xuanyin Sect. Ning Yue had no choice but to come quietly and leave quietly. Even if the Xuanyin Sect's rebellion had really escaped from the encirclement, the duel between him and the Xuanyin Sect had just begun.
Quietly back into the valley, which was lit up by a bonfire. From a distance, I saw Luoxin and Chasing Moon leaning together and saying something, and the catchers under him seemed to be busy making fires and cooking.
When she arrived at the room, Ning Yue found pen and ink. Carefully drew the sword he had just seen. A sword of this specification is by no means ordinary, so check it out when you get back. It may be possible to determine the identity of this group of deserters.
The more elite the troops, the higher their loyalty. Because elite troops have more opportunities for promotion and better treatment. So the group of troops said that they were deserters, but Ning Yue never believed that they were not for a reason.
As soon as he finished drawing the sword and gently dried the ink, there was a sudden commotion outside. Ning Yue's brows furrowed, as an elite unit of the Heavenly Shogunate, his behavior and discipline were extremely strict, and there would not be such a commotion under normal circumstances.
As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw a Heavenly Shogunate Catcher hurrying over and kneeling on one knee in front of Ning Yue, "Lord Qiqi Ghost Fox, when the brother was cooking on the fire just now, he accidentally found a hole under a stove. The brethren thought that something was wrong, so they came to report it!"
"Oh, where is it, take me over immediately!" Ning Yue hurriedly ordered, and with the leadership of his subordinates, Ning Yue soon came to the stove where the pit was found. And at this moment, Chasing Moon and Luoxin also heard the movement and hurried over.
This pit is right in the middle of the stove, originally blocked by a stone slab, and on top of it happens to be an iron pot. To see the hole, you need to move the iron pot away. And the stone slab that was originally built on top of the pit has also been moved aside by his subordinates. Ning Yue picked up the stone slab and gently covered the pit and tightly seamed it, which was simply ingenious.
The pit was about two feet wide, just the size of a person. The pit is bottomless, and when you put your hand into it, you can feel the slightest cool breeze, and it is obvious that the air in this pit is circulating. Ning Yue's eyes flashed with Dao essence, and there was a look of understanding on her face.
"Ghost fox, this pit is ......" Seeing Ning Yue's expression, Chasing Yue hurriedly asked eagerly.
"No wonder we couldn't find them with all our might, it turns out that they are not flying, but fleeing. This should be the tunnel dug out by the Xuanyin Sect, and they hid in the tunnel to avoid our blockade. ”
"Damn the Xuanyin Sect, how did they have a long brain? how did they come up with the idea of choosing the entrance to the tunnel in the stove. Chasing the moon sighed a little speechlessly, although he didn't want to admit it, but he had to admire the whimsy of the Xuanyin Sect.
"Is this also a wonderful idea?" Ning Yue slowly turned her head and glanced at Chasing Yue with disdain, "Send an order to go down and search all the stoves, wells, wall roots, and cabinet bottoms. Find out all those secret tunnels for me!"
With Ning Yue's order, the Heavenly Shogunate took action one after another. In the blink of an eye, there were only a few people left in the whole room, Chasing Yue looked at the tunnel in front of him, and finally gritted his teeth, "Ghost fox, let me go down to explore the depth of this tunnel, right?"
"The tunnels are small enough for one person to walk through. In case there is a trap down there, even if you can't do anything about it, I'll go for it. Even if they are ambushed, I can take it in stride. Ning Yue shook her head and vetoed, jumped slightly, and her figure fell into the tunnel like a basketball falling into the net.
In the tunnel, it was as narrow as Ning Yue guessed. After falling a foot or so, Ning Yue stepped on the dirt on the ground. In the pitch black environment, Ning Yue could also see. So he also clearly saw the traces of artificial excavation all over the tunnel. Follow the traces, and it is another downward tunnel. Ning Yue felt that after she had walked into the ground for at least five zhang, the tunnel space had enlarged.
Stroking the hard rock on the tunnel wall, Ning Yue's brows suddenly furrowed, this turned out to be a natural underground lava, and the rock wall was covered with honeycomb-like pores. Walking along the cave, when I walked out of Shizhang, I stepped on a wooden stick like chopsticks on my foot. On the stick, there are two clear tooth marks.
In an instant, Ning Yue's face changed drastically. Hurriedly walked forward, and sure enough, he found some debris left by man in the hole. Ning Yue's eyes flashed with Dao essence, and the hand hidden in her sleeve slowly clenched inadvertently.
There was a jumble of footsteps behind him, and in a few moments, the light of some torches was getting closer and closer like a long dragon, "Those bastards, you really want to think about it." You don't know, some of the entrances are under the bed, some are on the edge of the well, and some are on the edge of the manure tank, but they make me sick to death.
What about those Xuanyin Sect rebels? This is not our battlefield, let's go up and burn some cigarettes, force them all out, and then slowly clean them up. Good fellows, after such a great effort, I finally caught them, I will not spare them!"
"They...... It's already gone!" Ning Yue said with a gloomy face.
"What? ran away?" Chasing Moon asked in disbelief with mung bean-like eyes, "Where can they run? Can they dig the tunnel to Liangzhou? We have laid a net on it, and they can only hide underground as rats, how can they escape?"
"Let's take a look at the surrounding environment!" Ning Yue said with some unhappiness, "This karst cave was not opened up by them, but a naturally formed karst cave!" As she spoke, Ning Yue handed the wooden stick to the face of Chasing Yue.
"Look at this stick, there's a tooth mark on it. It shows that Xuanyin taught them to leave the ground with a stick in their mouths. The karst cave extends in all directions, and such a large karst cave must be extremely wide.
Maybe we found out they were still there when we first arrived, but now ...... I'm afraid they're out of our encirclement. The Xuanyin Sect actually had a time difference with us, and we were really caught off guard!"
"Could it be...... Just let them run away?" Chasing Moon asked with a blank look in her eyes.
"Lord Ghost Fox, Lord Chasing the Moon, how can you just give up if you don't chase it?" asked with an excited expression on the side, "Even if they escaped from our encirclement, didn't the Heavenly Shogunate set up checkpoints at the passages of various places?" Xuanyin Sect has so many people, it is obviously impossible to be so blatant. Maybe it's too late for us to catch up!"
"It may be too late for a large force to pursue, but it is still possible for me to pursue with all my might. How many brothers are still up there?"
"That's not even eight hundred!"
"Chasing the moon, I will chase it alone, and you will lead the brothers to gather out immediately. Then wait for me to send a message, and you will come at once. With so many Xuanyin Sects evacuating, I don't believe that no one from the Xuanyin Sect will respond. Order Xuanzhou, the brothers in Liangzhou to be on standby at any time. If you don't get it right, it's going to be a final showdown!"
"This ......" Chasing Yue hesitated, but looking at Ning Yue's serious eyes, he finally nodded silently, "Be careful yourself, the Xuanyin Sect Master is eager to break your body into ten thousand pieces." Compared to the remnants of the Xuanyin Sect in the Wasteland, your life is more than ten times more important, if the Xuanyin Sect Master comes in person, you will evacuate safely immediately!"
"I have my own measure!" Ning Yue said lightly, and her figure disappeared in front of Chasing Moon in a flash. Chasing the moon looked at the endless and far-reaching cave in front of him, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. The actions of the Heavenly Shogunate were too smooth before, and the Xuanyin Sect had almost no power to parry.
However, when Ning Yue hadn't come to the Northland at the beginning, how badly was the Heavenly Shogunate suppressed by the Xuanyin Sect? Ning Yue didn't know, but Chasing the Moon knew it. Therefore, chasing the moon has always been a little uneasy, and such a smooth operation seems so unreal.
But chasing the moon and thinking of Ning Yue's martial arts, the uneasiness in his heart slowly dissipated. The only people in the world who can take down Ning Yue are the Water Moon Palace Lord and the Xuanyin Sect Master, and they must join forces. A group of remnants of the Xuanyin Sect are not enough to fear.
