Chapter 643: Trace and Follow, Ask Strictly!
The passage was narrow, large enough for one person to walk down, and the steps were so wet that it was easy for one to fall down if one was not careful. Now that this passage has appeared, it is not good for me to go back to my home, maybe this passage is the secret passage connecting the Tang Gate.
I hesitated for a moment, but decided to go down and have a look. I stretched out my finger and tapped my eyebrows, and then whispered, "God's Eye, open!"
When I opened my eyes, even if it was dark in this passage, I could see clearly. Step by step, the more I went down, the more sparse the oxygen in the passage became. If it were an ordinary person, it would probably be suffocating when he walked here.
This passage has obviously not been opened for many years, which means that no one has walked here for a long time. If so, is the place to which the passage is connected really inhabited by living people?
I thought crankily as I walked down. After walking for more than ten minutes, the passage suddenly turned upward, and the steps that were originally down became steps up.
I continued along the steps, and after walking for a short time, I saw a few rays of light coming down from above. In this way, the exit of this passage is not far away. I picked up my pace, and in less than five minutes, I was at the top.
At the top of the passage is a lid, which is made of stone, but leaves a few small eyes. That's through this little eye. Having come to this point, I already have a certain understanding of this passage.
It is a V-shaped passage, except that the first half of the journey is longer and the second half is slightly shorter. If you guess according to common sense, if you go out of this passage, you should not come to the open air. Unless, the place of arrival is a cave.
Of course, the stone cover couldn't stop me, so I moved the stone cover away with a slight force. I jumped out and looked around. Apparently my assumption was correct, this is indeed a cave.
However, this cave is not big, only a dozen square meters. Torches were placed on the walls of the cave, from which the light that had just entered the passage came from. I looked around in the cave and there was nothing.
However, there was no way forward around, but if this was the case, what were these Tang Men people digging such a passage for? Could it be that they were full, idle and bored, and had nothing to do?
I thought about it for a while, and I thought it must not be that simple here. Maybe there's some mechanism in this cave. I approached the wall of the cave and searched carefully.
But after looking for half an hour, I didn't find anything. This makes me a little depressed, could it be that I am thinking too much?
But suddenly, I thought of the torch, and I looked up sharply. This torch is made of wood, to put it bluntly, it is a piece of wood with some combustibles wrapped in it, dipped in some oil, and let it burn slowly.
But when I got closer and took a closer look, I found that the oil on it was just ordinary oil, not shark oil. So why does it keep burning? Torches like this last a day or two at most before they go out.
But this passage has obviously not been walked through for a long time, and it can be discerned from the air inside. From this, I came to the conclusion that someone went into the cave from time to time to change the torches.
If you don't take the passage, it means that there must be a dark passage. I've inspected almost all of this cave, and if there's one place I haven't checked yet, it's this torch. I reached for the torch and tried to take it down.
But by the way, I pulled the hook embedded in the cave wall. At this moment, only the sound of "poo" was heard, and an upward path appeared above the torch. If you were an ordinary person, you wouldn't be able to get out of this place even if you found out.
The entrance to this upward passage was two or three meters above my head. And in the passage, there is no handrail that can be pulled at all, which means that if you really want to get out of this passage, you can only "fly" out.
Although I am stupid and talented, I don't know the ability of the little Taoist priest to fly with the sword. But my whirlwind leg still allows me to fly for a while. I stared at the vacated passage, and then transported the true qi in my body, and my legs suddenly exerted force, and my body shot directly towards the passage like a rocket.
I flew up for less than a minute before the passage reached the top. Although it could not continue upward, it could move forward because there was a forward path next to the top of the passage.
I didn't hesitate and went straight in. This new passage is only one meter high, so I have to climb forward. I'm not ambiguous, just climb. I crawled forward for about 500 meters, and the knees of my pants were worn out, which was a miserable thing.
Finally after the hard work, I climbed here, and the height of the passage rose a little. I'm bent on my waist, but I can walk forward. As long as you can walk, who will climb. I held on for a little longer, and the height of the passage increased again.
This time, I was finally able to walk with my back straight. Now that I can walk normally, my speed has increased a bit. It wasn't long before the exit came into my sight.
I ran to the exit in one gulp, and then took a big breath. It's a really nice feeling to be able to see the sun. But at this moment, I suddenly realized that the place where I am now is actually on the broken wall of a canyon. And beneath my feet was a staircase that snaked downward.
At the end of the stairs, there were rooms. Smoke rose from the chimney of the house and turned into a thick fog. If you look down from the top of the canyon, you can't find the village under the canyon through the thick fog.
I had always wondered where the people in Tangjia Village had moved, but this time the truth was finally revealed. It's all here, so naturally I'm going to pay a visit. But will these reclusives welcome me as an uninvited guest?
I walked briskly down the stone steps and soon came to the head of the village. I was hesitating to go straight in. Unexpectedly, there was a sudden noise of gongs and drums in the village. The feelings are that I entered here and have been discovered by them.
But how did they find out about me? Could it be that they installed surveillance here? But on second thought, how could such a backward and closed village have such high-end equipment? Well, I've been discovered anyway, so I'll just meet them directly.
Thinking of this, I walked straight forward and walked straight in the direction of the gong. I had just walked for a while when I met the villagers who had come here. But what I didn't expect was that these villagers were all dressed in black suits and armed with swords.
This kind of dress is obviously inherited from the clothing of the ancient people. How far does this village have to go? This is true for all the villagers, men, women, and children. Everyone's face showed a fierce face, and the feeling was that I was not welcome at all.
I looked at the crowd and asked, "Please forgive me for trespassing on your land." I don't know if you're from the Tang Sect?"
As soon as I finished speaking, I saw an old woman with a black cane come out of the crowd, followed by two good-looking young women.
The old woman's face was wrinkled, like the bark of an old tree, and her silver hair was coiled high, without a single strand of hair scattered, and she seemed to be a person who attached great importance to appearance. Although she is old, her eyes are bright.
She stared at me for a few moments, then asked, "Where are you from, and how did you find here?"
When I heard this, I hurriedly saluted her and said, "The younger generation is a ghost catcher, and it is really abrupt to enter the treasure land without permission. Please bear with me!"
The old woman saw that I was not rude, so naturally she didn't want to get angry directly, but she said in her mouth: "In today's world, there is no Tang Sect anymore. Boy, go back where you came from!"
It's okay if she doesn't say that, but since she implies that she is a member of the Tang Sect, I definitely can't just go back.
"The old-timers, the younger generations are here, they are looking for something, and they ask the seniors to give advice. ”
Hearing this, the old woman smiled disdainfully and said, "Let's go, young man." I'm not going to tell you anything, this is not the place for you to be. Someone, send off!"
As soon as she finished speaking, two tall men walked towards me.
When I saw it, I hurriedly said, "Senior, it's a big deal." If you don't tell me, I'll never leave. "Seeing the old woman unmoved, I knew I had to do something.
The two men were very fast, and they came to me in a short time. "Please!" both of them posed to me at the same time.
When I saw this, I smiled disdainfully and said, "What if I don't leave?"
"Don't go, then don't blame our brothers for being polite. I laughed inwardly, it was exactly what I wanted.
Seeing them reach out and grab it, I immediately picked up my true qi, and then swept it out directly with one leg. I didn't use too much strength to sweep the legs. Because this is someone's land after all, I just need to show a little bit of my ability, if I hurt someone directly, then I will be in trouble.
My leg was extremely fast, and it came suddenly. The two big men were unguarded and kicked to the ground by one kick from my legs.
"Oops...... Stinky boy, you dare to do it. See we don't want your life!"
Two big men got up from the ground and immediately threw their fists at me. Seeing this, I snorted coldly, and then slapped my palms out suddenly. I heard two loud bangs, and the two big men were instantly repelled by me.
But even so, they want to fight again. It was then that the old woman finally spoke.
"Stop, you're no match for him. Ghost hunting door, I heard a little in the early years, but when I see it today, the people inside the door are really powerful. Boy, what the hell are you asking?"
When I heard this, I was not ambiguous, and said directly: "Senior, junior wants to know if you have any hidden weapons in the Tang Sect that can shoot sword qi, and can also penetrate the light of the Buddha to protect the body and scatter the three souls and seven spirits of people?"
When the old woman heard this, her pupils suddenly widened, but she instantly returned to her original state.
"No, although my Tang Sect is good at secret weapons, I don't have such a powerful secret weapon. If nothing else, you can leave. ”
Although this old woman is calm on the surface, she is actually surging.
I smiled coldly and said, "Senior, don't you want to hide the murderer? In the whole world, apart from your Tang Sect, who else can create such a vicious secret weapon?"
