Chapter 18: The Secret Passage (Seeking the First Order)
Looking at the Tianshan Mountains from afar, most of the mountain is covered by clouds and mist, and the exposed half is also snow-white.
The appearance of the clouds and mist is like a fairy mountain in myths and legends.
Seeing this mountain peak, which was both familiar and unfamiliar, Jiang Ji walked down from the carriage.
"This is Tianshan!"
With a slight sigh, Jiang Ji ordered, "Everyone speed up and take back the sect as soon as possible." ”
A large area before the Tianshan Mountains was all plains, and with Jiang Ji's eyesight, since he had not seen the enemy yet, the distance between the two teams was at least five or six miles.
This is not a long distance, but it is enough for Jiang Ji to make a time difference.
"Master, we know the eagerness in your heart, but you should know better than me how steep the terrain of the Tianshan Mountains is, rush up in a hurry, and many people will die!"
At this time, the only one who dared to talk to Jiang Ji like this was Fu Li.
Jiang Ji turned his head to look at him, "Then what do you say should be done?"
Fu Li had already considered this problem: "Wait until evening, with our familiarity with the Tianshan Mountains, even if the terrain is steep, it will not be difficult for us, and we can directly use the cover of night to launch a surprise attack." ”
Jiang Ji shook his head, "Since you can think of it, Jia Zhengdao can't think of it?"
"This ......"
Fu Li was speechless for a while, he had been thinking about the feasibility of various methods, but he forgot that the enemy also knew Tianshan very well, and he also knew them very well.
"Come with me!"
Jiang Ji was at the forefront, taking the lead, and the whole team began to speed up.
Soon they came to the foot of the Tien Shan Mountains.
Looking up at the tall and majestic Tianshan Mountain, Jiang Ji took the lead and began to set foot on the mountain road.
As time passed, the whole team was almost halfway up the mountain, but it was unhindered.
It seems that he knows that the section from the foot of the mountain to the halfway point of the mountain is not steep enough, and the arranger can't stop it, so there is simply no one to shrink the defense.
And looking at the "fortress" in front of them, which was not far from them, Jiang Ji stopped, and then actually broke away from the mountain road and walked to the side, although the others were puzzled, they also followed.
After leaving the mountain road, with the cultivation of most people, they must also focus most of their attention on their feet, otherwise the dangers hidden by the ice and snow will be enough to make their heads fall and bleed.
The "fortress" is a fortress that lies across the mountain road, the whole is made of huge stones, there are many holes in it, specially used to fire arrows, and in the middle is a stone gate of unbelievable weight, if it is guarded inside, it is impossible to pass through it unless it is forcibly destroyed.
On both sides of the fortress were smooth walls at least two or three feet high, and they were also frozen, and there were people stationed on the platforms above the walls.
Equipped with a Xuanji crossbow, a big killer weapon that specializes in breaking blood and qi, it is really difficult for a bird to cross.
In the fortress, the many disciples of the Evil Extreme Sect who had been in strict formation, ready to meet the attack of the same sect in the past, looked at each other.
"The leader just now seems to be the sect master?"
"Indeed. ”
"With the sect master's martial arts, even if we attack head-on, we can't stop it, at most delay time.
Now it's a detour from the side, and it seems that we plan to attack from behind, aren't we even more unstoppable?"
"If you can't stop it, you have to stop it, Jia Zhengdao, this brute, threatens our family, we have no other way. ”
"If this is not the case, who wants to come here to guard, and if we are basically dead here, the sect master will definitely not spare us traitors. ”
"The Xuanji crossbow is ready, at least resist it, otherwise those dogs who don't know where to hide will be afraid that they will inform Jia Zhengdao of the situation here, and our relatives will not be comfortable at that time. ”
The fortress suddenly fell silent, and many people regretted why they didn't discover Jia Zhengdao's true face earlier, so that they fell into this kind of field now.
The many disciples of the Evil Extreme Sect stationed at this level had no idea of moving, and no one planned to report the somewhat unusual behavior of Jiang Ji and his party, just quietly watched them disappear from view.
As for the hidden son sent by Jia Zhengdao among the many disciples, he didn't dare to make any unusual moves, otherwise these disciples who forcibly suppressed their anger in their hearts would tear them apart in an instant.
Now inside the fortress is a powder keg, which will blow up at the slightest bit.
Leading his team across a long and dangerous road to a place located on the back side of the Tianshan Mountain, Jiang Ji followed the location in his memory and searched continuously, and finally found a special place.
Press the mechanism, and suddenly a one-person-high hole appears in front of everyone.
"Master, what is this?"
Li Ruofei asked the doubts in everyone's hearts.
Jiang Ji nodded, "People who have no long-term concerns must have near-term worries, so the ancestors of the sect once imagined that if one day, the sect was occupied by the enemy, how to easily take it back, so there was this secret passage."
This secret passage leads to the sect on the top of the mountain, the exit is in the main hall of the council, and the other exit is in my room.
Our whereabouts have been revealed, but it will take them a long time to react.
Now hurry up and go straight to the lobby with a secret passage to catch them off guard. ”
"Yes, Sect Master!"
The crowd should whisper yes to minimize the possibility of exposure as much as possible.
Under the leadership of Jiang Ji, everyone rushed in, and then they found that in addition to this upward passage, there were also secret rooms, which were stacked with a large number of weapons, food, gold and silver.
"These are the many materials that have been accumulated over the generations, just in case, to ensure that even if the sect declines for a while, it can be quickly revitalized.
In addition, in case the sect is breached by the enemy, we can hide in the secret passage and try to preserve our vitality. ”
Jiang Ji explained casually.
After today, this secret passage will be known to many people, and it will no longer be useful.
Therefore, these things should have been known only by the sect masters of previous dynasties, and Jiang Ji did not hide them.
"Master, now that we know about this matter, will this secret passage be useless in the future?"
Jiang Ji glanced at him and bowed slightly, "That's true, after regaining the sect, the things in it will be transported out, and then this secret passage will be buried."
It's not that I don't trust everyone, but this matter is very important, if someone accidentally leaks his mouth and is known by the enemy, then the sect will be in a desperate situation. ”
Jiang Ji said very frankly, which was equivalent to explaining to them, which surprised many disciples who had some understanding of Ye Wugui's temperament, and then the feeling of being respected made them feel a little happy in their hearts.
Walking through the winding passage, everyone finally approached the top of the mountain, and without Jiang Ji's command, everyone tacitly restrained their breath and lightened their movements, for fear of being discovered.
"It's almost here, success or failure is here!"
