Chapter 61 [Cave Battle] (I)
All the hopes of everyone were pinned on the map in Yan Tianxin's hands, believing that Yan Tianxin could lead them to find a way out and escape from Ling Tianbao. The surroundings of the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info were terrifying, and no bandits immediately chased after them, and they were not ambushed on this part of the road.
However, everyone did not dare to relax their vigilance, the blind man had already walked to the front of the team, among this group of people, only he had the ability to see at night, although Yan Tianxin had a torch in his hand, but with the light of the fire, his eyesight was limited after all. The blind man was reborn in this dark environment, and his eyesight was more than ten times better than in the daytime.
Several people stopped in front of an iron gate, the iron door was not locked, Luo Lie and the blind man walked over and worked together to pull the iron door open. A yin wind suddenly blew from inside, and everyone couldn't help but feel excited, and the torch in Yan Tianxin's hand was also blown by the wind, and the flames rushed to the back, Yan Tianxin subconsciously raised the torch higher. When the torch was about to run out, Zhang Longbow stepped forward and wrapped the strip of cloth stained with gasoline around it, and the flame quickly turned from weak to strong.
The blind man poked his head inside, and couldn't help but let out an exclamation, although Luo Lie tried his best to keep his eyes open, he still couldn't see what was inside, but fortunately, at this time, Yan Tianxin came to his side and leaned out the torch, the firelight illuminated the front, and a plank road meandered forward, Luo Lie wondered in his heart, why was there a plank road in the cave? The boardwalks were built against the rock walls.
The blind man's voice rang in his ears: "It's like a mine." He trembled obviously when he spoke, the blind man was afraid of heights, and he was scared half to death when he sat on the hanging basket on Ling Tianbao, these plank roads in front of him were basically erected with wooden planks, and the widest place was less than one meter, and what was even more terrifying was that the plank road was built by relying on the mountain cliff, spiraling down along the rock wall, and the plank road and the cliff wall were also supported by logs, and there was no handrail next to it.
Yan Tianxin had already taken the lead on the plank road, stepping on the plank road with her light weight, and the wooden planks made a creaking sound, making people can't help but worry that the planks might break at any time.
The blind man gasped, his legs were already trembling like a sieve, Luo Lie patted the blind man's shoulder out of comfort, and the blind man screamed in fright.
Luo Lie said: "Don't be afraid, you hold on to my shoulders, you don't have to look at your feet!"
The blind man said with a bitter face: "I can't die, my weight, this thin plate can't bear it at all." ”
Yan Tianxin had already walked to the corner of the plank road, Arnold and Park Changjie followed, Zhang Changgong was responsible for taking care of Zhou Xiaodie, naturally he couldn't take care of the blind man, Luo Lie motioned for them to go first, and he broke off with the blind man, but he didn't expect Zhou Xiaodie to suddenly say: "Brother An, can you accompany me?"
The blind man looked at Zhou Xiaodie, then at the bottomless valley, and swallowed his saliva.
Zhou Xiaodie said: "I don't recognize anyone except you......" Speaking of this, my heart was sour, and I couldn't help crying.
The blind man saw the tears on Zhou Xiaodie's cheeks, and suddenly a wave of courage surged into his heart, he nodded emphatically, took Zhou Xiaodie's hand and walked towards the plank road, Luo Lie and Zhang Changgong escorted the two of them one after the other.
Yan Tianxin's expression became more and more solemn as she walked, judging from everything in front of her, this should be a mine, and it was still being mined, Yan Tianxin didn't care about what was being excavated in this mine, what worried her was that this mine was not marked on her map.
There was a rock protruding in front of her, and everyone had to bow their heads to pass, and the blind man seemed to have overcome her psychological fear at this moment, stretched out his palm, and reminded her to pass carefully for the stone covering her head for Zhou Xiaodie.
Luo Lie turned around and looked, a knowing smile appeared on his face, the blind man actually knew how to be considerate of others, and what surprised him even more was that the blind man was able to overcome the fear in his heart and accompany them on the volley plank road, of course, this is not his own reason, Luo Lie's eyes fell on Zhou Xiaodie, full of sympathy for this blind girl who had just lost her father, but at this time another figure appeared in his heart, sparrow! Since the sparrow was captured by Lan Ximei, he has lost the news, and one of the conditions for choosing to cooperate with Yan Tianxin is to rescue the sparrow, but now it seems that Yan Tianxin is already unable to protect himself, so what ability does he have to save the sparrow?
Thinking of the sparrows that were likely to remain in the prison, Luo Lie felt an unspeakable sense of guilt in his heart, did they just leave? Regardless of the sparrow's life or death, let her fend for herself?
The blind man coughed lightly, and Luo Lie woke up from his brief contemplation.
The blind man patted him on the shoulder and said, "Stay in the green mountains and don't be afraid of no firewood, let's survive first!" and Luo Lie have known each other since childhood, although the blind man can't guarantee to see through Luo Lie, but he always knows more about him than others, and the blind man obviously guessed what Luo Lie was thinking at the moment.
Luo Lie smiled, yes, let's survive first, if he insists on saving the sparrow, it will inevitably cause more sacrifices, he can't let all his companions and himself fall into a dangerous situation again because of his decision, the sparrow is a good girl, she deserves the favor of God, not to mention that she also has a miraculous lock-picking skill, and the cell can't trap her.
It took them nearly half an hour to walk across the plank road, and the exit was on the rock wall, Yan Tianxin stopped in a wide place, and when Luo Lie followed, she whispered to Luo Lie: "The passage here seems to be completely different from the map. ”
Luo Lie took the old map drawn on the sheepskin from her hand, looked at it fixedly, it was different from the map he knew, and he returned the map with some embarrassment: "When did this map come about?"
"During the Great Song Jingkang period!"
Luo Lie looked at Yan Tianxin with a shocked face, she actually took a map of the Great Song Dynasty to find a way out, you must know that it has been almost eight hundred years since the Jingkang period, Ling Tianbao has changed hands many times, I don't know what kind of changes have been undertaken.
Yan Tianxin was also a little embarrassed, and whispered, "I didn't expect that there would be such a big change here." "There is no mark on the map for this huge mine, and the underside of Ling Tianbao is almost hollowed out.
Luo Lie said: "No one is an immortal like a god, but since they are mining here, they should have a way to transport minerals, and it is impossible to rely on the plank road above." ”
Arnold's surprised voice came from ahead: "Orbit! Orbit!"
Several people all gathered around, and sure enough, they saw two tracks in front of them, the blind man blinked, and then scratched the back of his head and said, "Is there a train in this cave?" In his cognition, the rails are naturally used to run trains.
Arnold looked at the blind man with disdain, shook his head, and said, "You are stupid! This is a minecart track, which is used to transport ore. ”
If it were a blind man, he would have endured it, but in front of so many people, especially Zhou Xiaodie, Arnold actually dared to say that he was stupid, which was unbearable, he snorted and said: "Golden Retriever, you really don't know when you are Lao Tzu? I deliberately tested you, I knew that you like to show off, I bah! Of course, there are minecarts in the mine." ”
Luo Lie hurriedly stopped the two from continuing to quarrel, these two did not have a worry-free role, now is not the time to quarrel. took the torch in Yan Tianxin's hand and observed the rails, the rails are light and should be used often, but the strange thing is that there is not a minecart around, but there are a lot of mining lamps along the stone wall.
Yan Tianxin also noticed this, and said in a low voice: "Let's be careful!"
The blind man's feet fell to the ground, and he was no longer as worried as he was just now, plus he had the intention to show his bravery and fearlessness in front of Zhou Xiaodie, and he laughed and said: "What is there to be afraid of?
Yan Tianxin ignored him and said to Park Changjie: "Xiaojie, you go ahead to explore the road and see if there is a minecart!" ”
Park Changjie nodded, picked up a gas lamp and lit it, and the green flames jumped out, and then a pungent and unpleasant smell diffused in the corridor.
The blind man's little eyes were stimulated by the bright light again, he wrinkled his nose in disgust, and then covered his mouth and nose, but saw Zhou Xiaodie groping alone and sitting down on the railroad tracks, with his back to everyone, alone. The blind man was about to walk over, but was grabbed by Luo Lie's arm, Luo Lie shook his head and signaled him not to go over, now it is best to give Zhou Xiaodie a space to calm down alone.
Zhang Longbow took advantage of this opportunity to sort out the bow and arrows, and Arnold came up with a smile: "Old Zhang, have time to teach me archery!"
Zhang Changgong nodded: "Okay, you teach me to drive a tank!"
"No problem. ”
The blind man took out two grenades and handed them to Luo Lie, Luo Lie was stunned for a moment, and the blind man said: "I know that you swore to Jesus that you would not use a gun, this thing is a grenade, it does not violate your principles, and it is better than using a flying knife at a critical time." ”
Luo Lie did not refuse this time and took it from him.
Yan Tianxin inserted the torch into the crack of the stone, sat down against the rock wall, a trace of exhaustion appeared on her pretty face, her heart was far less calm than her expression, this time she came to Ling Tianbao, not to pay homage to Xiao Tianxing, but to find the shaman's golden body, Yan Tianxin's real name is Wan Yan Tianxin, is a descendant of the Jin Jurchens, her ancestor is the Jin general Wan Yan Tiexin, Ling Tianbao was broken by the Mongols, the Wan Yan family luckily retained a line, and later established Lianyun Village, becoming the oldest of the many bandits in Pale Mountain, and Lian Yun Zhai has always lived a life isolated from the outside world, although they rely on robbery for a living, but do not harm ordinary people, the reputation in Pale Mountain has always been good, and it has never had the heart to compete for hegemony.
However, the ambitious Xiao Tianxing couldn't tolerate the existence of such a force, and finally extended his claws to Lianyunzhai. Yan Tianxin remembered Xiao Tianxing's words before he died, judging from the look on his face, he should not be lying, but if it was really not him who stole the shaman's golden body, who could it be? Who led him into this predicament?
