Chapter 261: The Long-Haired Old Man
The steel rope is made up of three strands, about the thickness of a child's wrist, and has obvious abrasion marks on it, which is presumably used to place the pulley.
Obviously, this is the entrance to the Netherworld Valley mentioned in black and white impermanence, and if the people in the valley want to get out, they need to take the cable car, and this cable car is mostly tied to this steel rope with pulleys.
Below the steel rope, there is another strong rope, but it is no longer a steel rope, but a thin copper wire, and at this end of the copper wire, a bell is tied.
The three of them looked at it for a while, and decided that this bell was used to ring when entering the valley, such as three heavy and one light, and after the guards in the opposite valley heard the bell, they were sure that it was their own people, so they put down the cable car and pulled people through the pulley.
The whining on the opposite side suddenly stopped, and then there was a faint sound of curses and reprimands, the sound was not loud, but the three of them were all masters of the house, and their hearing was different from ordinary people, despite this, they could only hear it vaguely, but they couldn't hear it too truly.
Du Zhenyu subconsciously wanted to pull the bell, but when Long Thirteen saw this, he immediately stopped: "Owner, you can't pull it." ”
"For what?" Du Zhenyu was stunned.
Long Thirteen smiled bitterly and said: "The owner of the village is confused, do we know the code when they entered the valley?" If we shake our anger now, the people of the Netherworld Temple will recognize our identity, or at least know that we are not disciples of the valley, and then they will be on guard, and it will be difficult for us to achieve our goal of attacking them. ”
Du Zhenyu suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "I am indeed confused, this rope is actually not difficult for us, according to our skills, it is not difficult to follow this steel rope, but it is still daytime, we can't underestimate the enemy, it is best to wait until the dead of night, in order to sneak over without knowing the ghosts, we might as well rest here for a while, and wait for the middle of the night to act." ”
Long Thirteen and Long Shuang'er naturally had no objections.
Then, Long 13 took off the travel bag from his back, took out some food, dry food and drinking water from the bag, and the three of them sat cross-legged on the spot, silently ate something, and then meditated and practiced together.
Before you know it, it is already a full moon in the sky, and tonight the moonlight is thicker, illuminating the platform as if it were day, and it is late at night, and the fog in the mountains is very thick.
The three of them woke up one after another, ate some more food, put their duffel bags on the platform, and prepared to cross the cliff.
To climb this abyss, it is naturally not difficult for them.
And to choose this time to sneak over, it is also considering that the guards on the opposite side are now the time to relax.
It's already two o'clock in the middle of the night, and this is the time when normal people are sleepy, and there may be few people in this Netherworld Valley who break in, and the guards inside won't be on duty all night, let alone sleep.
Long Thirteen was the first to prepare to leave, his body shook, his right foot was on the ground a little, his body was a few meters in the air, and then grabbed the iron rope with one hand, and his body had climbed again, and then one foot fell on the steel rope, a golden rooster was independent, standing still, the whole process, the steel rope only trembled slightly, which shows that his light skills are indeed clever.
Turning his head and nodding at Du Zhenyu, his toes were a little on the steel rope, Long Thirteen took off again, and his body quickly disappeared into the thick fog, and then, Long Shuang'er and Du Zhenyu also jumped on the steel rope, and the three of them quietly dived to the opposite side.
Three minutes later, the three of them arrived at the opposite wall, which was different from what they had imagined, with two sliding baskets on the opposite side, but no platform, leaving only a hole between the mountain wall, which could only be entered and exited by one person.
Long Thirteen gestured to Du Zhenyu, and immediately got in, and Du Zhenyu and Long Shuang'er also jumped into the hole.
Inside the cave is a stone passage, about five meters wide, and the smooth stone walls are as if they had been cut by a sharp sword.
At the entrance of the stone cave, two young men in robes were sleeping soundly, and on the stone table on one side, there was a large pot of fine wine and some leftovers.
Long Thirteen made his hand like electricity, stretched out his hands, and pinched the throats of the two of them respectively, and was pinched by their throats in their sleep, the two of them woke up suddenly, first they looked a little dazed, and then their faces changed greatly, and they wanted to struggle, but they were crushed by Long Thirteen's throat in the next second, and the two of them only kicked their legs a few times, and then hung up, but their eyes refused to close, still confused and frightened.
The passage gradually winds downward, it seems to be bottomless, the three mermaids sneak through the cat, and there are no guards along the way, and on the stone walls on both sides of the passage, a few oil lamps are lit at intervals, illuminating the passage exceptionally clearly and brightly.
After about ten minutes, there was a fork in the passage, and the two roads, one left and one right, were placed in front of the three people, and the three stopped together, looking at each other.
How to go about it?
Left or right?
The three of them hesitated for a moment, and finally didn't know how to choose.
And at this moment, in the depths of the passage on the left, there was a faint rumbling sound, as if someone was committing violence against the mountain wall, like the sound of heavy objects smashing on the mountain wall, which shook the cave to tremble.
"Left!"
Du Zhenyu walked to the left first, and Long Shuang'er and Long Thirteen followed.
After about ten minutes of walking, the popping sound became louder, and at last the three of them came to a hall, and the passage on the left seemed to have come to an end.
This hall is actually like a stone house, but it is quite large, hundreds of square meters.
Directly opposite the mountain wall, there was a huge cage, the cage material was very strange, like alloy, and like ordinary steel, in the cage, an unkempt beggar-faced long-haired old man, at this time like a beggar on the street for many years, his feet and hands were chained, fixed in the mountain wall behind him, the cage wrapped him.
There was nothing in the stone house except for a dinner plate in front of the iron cage, which was cold and oppressive.
The long-haired old man looked at the three people in front of him, and finally stopped venting, he had been slapping the mountain wall behind the iron cage with both hands before, but unfortunately it was useless, because his hands and feet were locked, his hands could only touch the mountain wall behind him, and on the other three sides, his hands and feet couldn't reach it at all.
"Who are you?" The old man's voice was strange.
Du Zhenyu smiled: "Who are you?" ”
"Who are you? Why are you tied here? Your identity, your name, are all truthful. Du Zhenyu asked rhetorically.
The old man was silent, only staring at the three of them for a while, and his whole face couldn't see his true face, but his two eyes were blazing, and there was a ruthless look in his eyes that didn't believe the task.
It just so happened that the old man's eyes were looked at by Du Zhenyu.
"Young man, we can make a deal." The old man looked at Du Zhenyu and his party and said with a smile.
Du Zhenyu frowned and said, "What deal?" Why do we want to trade with you? ”
"I can see that you are all masters of the inner family, and only you can save me from the army!" The long-haired old man gritted his teeth and cursed: "Lisanwei, I'm going to kill you, you beast is not as good as a beast, you dare to plot against me, when Lao Tzu comes out, he will definitely pull out your skin, and then kill your old urine to the core, and then use it to commemorate the second sister, ah, ah, Lisanwei, you villain, sinister and vicious villain, I want to kill you!" ”
Boom, the old man's hands flapped wildly on the stone wall, and then the stone house sifted down.
Li Sanwei is now the head of the Netherworld Palace, and Du Zhenyu got the news from the mouth of black and white impermanence.
But the old man in front of him didn't mention black and white impermanence at all.
A friend of an enemy is an enemy, and an enemy of an enemy is a friend.
Du Zhenyu was a little moved, and a little hesitant.
"How?" The old man was probably tired from filming, and he seemed to be completely desperate, as if he knew that even if he had the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, he would not be able to get out of trouble, he stopped, looked at Du Zhenyu, and said with some mud longing.
"Why should I believe you?" Du Zhenshou smiled: "Also, what about the chips?" ”
The old man seemed to have expected Du Zhenyu to answer like this, he frowned and scolded more than three tastes, and only told the truth later, the old man had been trapped for nearly ten years, and he had never seen outsiders enter Dari, so he had to put all his hopes on Du Zhenyu.
He hated the three flavors, but it was not the reason he said.
"If you can save me from trouble, I can make you the master of our Netherworld." The long-haired old man said imposingly.
Du Zhenyu shook his head with a smile: "I can indeed save you, but I really don't have the slightest interest in the chips you gave." ”
The old man was stunned for a moment and said, "Then what do you say you want me to do?" If I don't owe a favor, after today's incident, if you have any difficulties and hurdles that you can't get over, as long as you come to me, I will definitely help you settle those things. ”
"Still not interested." Du Zhenyu yawned.
The old man's heart was the most distraught and said, "Okay, as long as you save me, I will bring the ambergris pill to you, so that you don't drill around and can't find it at all." ”
"Ambergris?" Du Zhenyu was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "What kind of elixir is this?" What does it do? ”
The old man said depressedly, "Didn't you come to find the Ambergris Pill?" ”
Du Zhenyu asked: "Where is the ambergris?" What kind of role and efficacy does it have? ”
"Then let's change the conditions, as long as you can save me, I will do three things for you, and I can pass on to you a very powerful martial arts, the Netherworld Divine Palm, which is the palm technique I just cast, how about it? This is a martial arts mastery, but you can't ask for it, as long as you practice this kind of palm technique, you can go sideways on the rivers and lakes. The long-haired old man took the initiative to divert the topic.
Du Zhenyu waved his hand to Long Shuang'er and Long Shisanyi, and said, "Let's go!" ”
"Stop!"
The long-haired old man's face was extremely unsightly, his voice was extremely violent, and he stared at Du Zhenyu and the others, with murderous aura in his eyes.
This kind of murderous aura has naturally been perceived by the three of them, and although they haven't turned back, the three of them can't take a step.
"You're not sincere, don't talk about this deal." Du Zhenyu said with a smile.
The long-haired old man's teeth creaked: "What the hell do you want?" ”
"I want ambergris, but tell me first, what is this ambergris pill?" Du Zhenyu was not affected by the old man's expression, he exhaled like an orchid, and there was no nervous expression at all.
The long-haired old man sighed and said, "Okay, let me tell you, this ambergris pill is actually from the ancient pill, it is said that after taking it, it can greatly improve the internal strength of the individual, some people say that you can get more than a jiazi's internal strength, some people say that after eating it, it will not invade a hundred poisons, and some people say that after taking this medicine, you can stay young forever." ”
"Can it increase internal strength?" Du Zhenyu was surprised, but he was surprised.
