Chapter 247: The Grotto
The cave is damp and slippery, and the smell is unpleasant. The entrance to the cave was extremely narrow, and Xiang Yan bent over, still hitting his head several times, and had to lean even lower. Xiang Yanxin said: "If there is really any poisonous beast in the cave, it will be bad, there is no way to hide in such a narrow place." "Busy with the "rest work", all on guard.
Xiang Yan walked forward for a while, and the tunnel gradually widened, and he was able to move forward upright. After a long walk, there is no end to it, but the ground is getting flatter and flatter. Xiang Yan's head also began to ache faintly, and the backlash of "Gathering Breath Gong" was coming. Xiang Yan hurriedly stopped running the "Gathering Breath Gong" - fortunately, he didn't encounter any poisonous beasts along the way, and Xiang Yan felt a little at ease.
Xiang Yan continued to hurry, turned two more corners, and suddenly the light in front of him was dazzling - in front of him was a large grotto, and there were many large jujube trees growing in the grotto where the sun reached. Suddenly, he suddenly saw the sunlight from the dark crocodile pond tunnel where he couldn't see his fingers, Xiang Yan was overjoyed, and hurriedly ran forward, finally able to get out.
Xiang Yan arrived in the grotto, and his heart sank. There is a big hole with a round diameter on the top of the grotto, and the sunlight shines down from the hole, but the big hole is more than 100 zhang from the ground. So high, so up? Although there are jujube trees growing in the cave, they are only four or five zhang high, and they are far away from the entrance of the cave. Xiang Yan pondered for a long time, and was indeed helpless.
There are many jujube trees in the grotto, and the dates that bear them are not picked, and they fall to the ground and rot and turn into dirt. There is a thick layer of soil, and Xiang Yan only feels that the stench is unbearable when he stands in the grotto. Originally, it was not impossible for Xiang Yan to feed on dates and wait for a few months in the grotto to ascend, but the smell in the tunnel was unpleasant, and the stench in the grotto was stinking, and Xiang Yan really did not want to stay in this environment for a long time.
Xiang Yan decided to go to the tree to take a look and make plans. Jumping on the jujube tree, climbing to the top of the tree, you can see that the stone wall at the height is uneven and uneven, not as slippery as the bottom. I secretly rejoiced in my heart: "There is no endless road to heaven." Although this grotto is high, it is not necessarily impossible to go up. "Jump up the stone wall, climb all the way up, climb higher and higher.
After climbing about sixty or seventy zhang, the concave and convex convex on the stone wall became more and more shallow and shallow. Xiang Yan's light skills were not good, and it was difficult to gain a foothold on the stone wall, so he had to use the "Nine Yin Divine Claw" to insert his fingers into the stone wall and continue to climb upwards with strength. Xiang Yan secretly sighed in his heart: "Thanks to Zhou Zhiruo for urging herself to practice the 'Nine Yin Divine Claw', if it weren't for today, I wouldn't be able to go up." Anyway, Sun Jike went to Emei to find Zhou Zhiruo, do I have to go to Emei to see after I go out? ”
When he was seven or eight feet away from the top of the cave, Xiang Yan's fingers were dripping with blood, and the stone wall was smooth and abnormal, and there was no place for his hands and feet, so Xiang Yan expected that it would be difficult to go out directly. Looking at the situation around the world, the cave above the head is long enough to enter and exit. I have a plan in my heart, and now I return to the bottom of the grotto.
Xiang Yan reached out and grabbed the bark of the jujube tree and twisted it into a rope. Xiang Yan's finger was injured, and it was difficult to insert his finger into the stone wall to climb upwards with strength, but it was still possible to pinch a few pieces of bark from the jujube tree. It took a long time until it was dark to make a bark rope.
Xiang Yan grabbed the rope, pulled it a few times, and nodded with satisfaction, it was very strong and couldn't be broken. He then broke off the trunk of a jujube tree, about one foot and five feet long, tied one end of the rope to the middle of the trunk, crawled upward, climbed to the end of the stone wall, and made a thousand catties of kung fu with both feet, firmly stepped on the stone wall, and threw the trunk out of the cave with both arms.
Xiang Yan pulled the rope and pulled the trunk
Pull to the edge of the cave, so that the ends of the trunk are more horizontal on the ground, and the middle volley is only a few feet. I tried pulling the rope twice, and I knew that the horizontal frame of the trunk was quite stable and could withstand the weight of my body. He grabbed the rope with both hands, and rose up in turn, and in a moment he had caught the trunk of the tree at the entrance of the cave. With a bend of the arm and a snort, it had already flown out of the cave and landed on the ground.
Xiang Yan breathed a long sigh of relief and stood up straight, but saw that the Dongfang Wheel had just risen from behind the mountain. After a day of confinement in the dark crocodile pool and grotto, I regained my freedom at this time, and my mood was indescribably comfortable. I thought of Lin Xue and Xiaolongnu again, and I don't know what happened to the two of them. After some hesitation in my heart, I decided to find the two.
Xiang Yanyou looked around, it turned out that he was on the top of a peak, surrounded by dense forests, looking at the mountain villa in the distance, and it was several miles away. After Xiang Yan went down the mountain, he quietly detoured to the back of the village and climbed over the wall. The villa where Gongsun Zhi lives is not small, and Xiang Yan is not familiar with the place, for a while, Xiang Yan turned around in the villa like a headless fly, but he never found the location of Lin Xue and Xiaolongnu.
When Xiang Yan was anxious, there was a sound of footsteps behind him. Xiang Yan's heart moved, he went up and pinched the man's neck, leaned the man against the wall, and shouted in a low voice: "You ......" Hey, it turned out that the person who came was Gongsun Zhi's daughter. Xiang Yan couldn't help but be angry when he thought that he was so miserable by Gongsun Zhi, but looking at the elegant and clear-eyed Gongsun girl, he instinctively felt that it was not good to be angry with his daughter because of Gongsun Zhi.
Xiang Yan withdrew his hand and said softly: "Girl, do you know where Li Mochou's master and sister are?" Miss Gongsun nodded and said, "Yes! I'll take you. With that, he walked forward.
