Chapter 37: Digging the Tunnel

As a living dead, Yun Hailan can only move freely at night, and if she is exposed to the sun for a long time, she will turn into ashes.

And only during the day, can it be determined that the Li family father and son are not indoors.

It's just that this problem can be easily solved through tunnels. In the tunnels, there is no sunlight.

Wu Feng said: "In the residences of important people in the Valley of Forgotten Worries, there is a tunnel that leads to a secret passage. This secret passage leads to the outside of the valley, and can be used for escape when the Valley of Forgotten Sorrow encounters great calamity. For example, if the Valley of Forgotten Sorrows is attacked by a flock of fierce beasts and birds dozens of times more powerful than jackdaws, you can escape through this secret passage. However, now that the Valley of Forgotten Sorrows is sealed by the Martial Spirit Array, it is a three-hundred-and-sixty-degree all-round blockade, and the secret passage is naturally impossible to get out. โ€

"However, the retreat where the Li family father and son live is very close to a certain section of the secret passage, and they can dig from there all the way to the bottom of the retreat. โ€

Wu Feng said, walked to the storage room, and took an oil lamp and a stainless steel shovel.

He first tied the oil lamp with a rope and put it down, and after a while he lifted it, and the oil lamp was still bright.

"Plenty of air. Miss Yun, how is your earth-based Dao art attainment?" Wu Feng asked.

Yun Hailan smiled: "It's not superb, but if it just helps you dig a tunnel, of course it's not a problem." โ€

"Then let's go down. โ€

Wu Feng carried the oil lamp and went down into the secret passage. Yun Hailan then entered.

โ‰กโ‰ฅ๏ผŒwโ‰กww.

When I entered the secret passage, a damp earthy smell rushed to my nose, but fortunately it was not too unpleasant.

The passage was dark, except for the oil lamps flickering slightly, emitting a faint light that illuminated the small area around them.

This secret passage was built very simply because it was only used for escape, and it was dug directly into the earth, and the top was paved with wooden planks to prevent the earth and rocks from falling, and the bottom was still mud and rocks.

On both sides of the passage, at intervals of a certain distance, there are wooden pillars that penetrate into the land, and the wooden planks on top of the passage are used to support the passage and prevent it from collapsing.

Since the two walls of the secret passage are also made of dirt, it is very easy to dig holes in them.

Wu Feng's footsteps were steady, and in the dark tunnel, he made a steady sound.

"One step, two steps, three steps...... Wu Feng secretly calculated in his heart, he needed to measure the distance by footsteps, so every step must be taken accurately.

"This is it. Wu Feng stopped: "I have already calculated the location of the guest house where the Li family's father and son lived, as well as the distance from the entrance of the secret passage. Moreover, the cave walls here are also more humid than other places, which must have something to do with the lake. But just in case, I also asked Miss Yun to launch a 'wall insight' technique. โ€

Yun Hailan nodded, waved her bare hand, twisted the Dao technique, and a bit of white light shot out from the tip of her jade onion-like index finger, landing on the wall of the cave that Wu Feng's finger was pointing at.

The white point of light quickly expanded, spreading out into a circle of light, and the edge of the circle flowed with colorful colors, like a glow, and like a rainbow, brilliant and eye-catching.

The wall of the cave surrounded by the aperture was still a piece of dirt, mixed with some sand and gravel.

After all, there is still a certain distance from the lake.

Yun Hailan bit her lip lightly and shouted, "Open!"

At this moment, her eyes were condensed, her demeanor was solemn, and under the dim light of the oil lamp, she looked more and more confused, like a goddess who came out of the illusion.

Aperture brilliance.

Yun Hailan clenched her palms into a fist, urging the Dao technique with all her strength, and soon, fine beads of sweat flowed down from her snow-like skin.

The scene in the aperture quickly became clear, like a long glass tunnel peeking at the lake under the rising sun.

A few rows of green wattles, swaying gently in the field of vision, are like a dream, and lively fish are constantly flowing in the water.

"That's right, it's right at the bottom of the lake. "Urging the Dao Technique to penetrate such a thick layer of soil to spy on the situation on the other side, for Yun Hailan, it was indeed very consuming Dao power, which made her gasp in a low voice.

"Miss Yun, it's okay, you take a step back and rest for a while, and I'll dig it. Wu Feng said gently.

When Yun Hailan retreated, Wu Feng took out his shovel and used force in his hand to slam a large piece of soil off the cave wall.

The soil was dug down from the cave wall by Wu Feng, as if it were cutting tofu. A martial artist with true qi in his body is naturally much easier to dig tunnels than ordinary people.

Yun Hailan rested for a while and began to activate the Earth Dao Technique.

She closed her beautiful eyes lightly, carefully sensed the vitality of the earth, and called on the power of nature with her Dao heart.

Although the eyes are completely closed, a bright yellow color gradually appears in the field of vision. The colors quickly diffused and took over her entire field of vision.

This is the distribution of the earth's vitality.

Yun Hailan sensed Wu Feng's movements, who had already dug a hole in the secret passage wall.

Her mind turned, attracting the vitality of the earth, making the area where Wu Feng was digging soft and easy to excavate, while the part that had been excavated became hard and solidified, and difficult to collapse.

The earth system Dao technique has been cultivated to a superb technique, and it can launch the technique of turning the earth into steel to defend against earth escape and tunnel night attacks. Yun Hailan's cultivation has fallen sharply now, of course, it can't reach that level, but it is not difficult to change the vitality structure of the soil layer slightly.

However, digging tunnels is a laborious task after all.

After an hour or two, beads of sweat began to trickle down Wu Feng's face and back.

And Yun Hailan's face began to turn pale because of his long-term urging of Dao techniques. She urged Dao power, in fact, compared to Wu Feng's manual excavation, it consumed more vitality.

"Miss Yun, rest for a while. Wu Feng came out of the tunnel and said with a smile: "This kind of thing is not limited to digging the tunnel, it is not limited to be done in one go, not to mention that it is necessary to affirm that the Li family's father and son are not in the house, so that they can dig directly below their residence." โ€

From the Ruyi bag, Wu Feng took out a small table, two small Mazha, and then took out a pot of brewed Gu Zhu tea. The Ruyi bag has the effect of heat preservation, and the tea is placed in it, and the temperature decreases very slowly, so it also emits a thick heat.

Gu Zhu tea, also known as Gu Zhu purple bamboo shoots, is produced in Yangzhou. Because its fresh tea buds and leaves are slightly purple, and the back of the young leaves rolls like bamboo shoot shells, it gets this name and is one of the famous teas.

The celadon teapot is very exquisite, and there are several small dragons carved on the inner wall, and in the rippling tea, it seems to come to life.

Because the teapot is made of celadon instead of purple sand, and the cyan color is extremely light, the light purple of the tea leaves is also very well expressed in the tea, and under the light of the oil lamp, it exudes a beautiful taste.

Wu Feng put the tea vessel on the small table, first poured more than half a cup in the big tea cup, and then gently mixed some herbal tea from a gourd, handed it to Yun Hailan, and said with a smile: "This flavor is a little worse, but now it's not a tea tasting, but quenching your thirst, and you can't drink the hot tea in one go." โ€

When Yun Hailan was stable, he poured another lamp for himself.

Yun Hailan put the tea cup on the table, held it up from time to time, and pursed her red lips.

The temperature of the tea is just right. In autumn, it is cold and cold, and it is in this damp tunnel, of course, it is not suitable to drink cold tea, but after exertion, you need to drink tea with a slightly lower temperature to refresh yourself.

Yun Hailan only felt that the tea was moist and refreshing, although it was a small sip of tea, but it was not slow to drink, and it was quickly drunk.

But Wu Feng was drinking tea by himself, and at the same time, he was also watching Yun Hailan's speed of drinking tea. When Yun Hailan finished drinking the tea in the cup, he also just drank his own, and then added tea for Yun Hailan, and then filled it for himself
