Drive towards the inside tunnel and swim out of the tunnel to widen the water.

Yan Lan quickly went up, did not open her mouth in a hurry after surfacing, and only began to adjust her breathing after opening her eyes to make sure that her surroundings were safe.

It's a huge cave, and a few meters further up the river bank.

Oil lamps are placed on the stone walls, burning calmly and faintly illuminating the innermost groove in the most central depression.

It seems that something is still enshrined.

Yan Lan went ashore, brushed her wet hair, and shook off the water in her palm.

On the inner groove is a palm-sized long black wooden box, carved with strange patterns, and even the grooves are carved with a pattern of flowers and grass.

There is also a lock on the black wooden box.

"Silver."

Yan Lan flicked the small silver lock, reached out and grabbed it, wanting to break the lock directly.

A black shadow suddenly flashed in the afterglow, extremely fast, and took the wooden box in Yan Lan's hand!

Yan Lan's eyes quickly reached out to block, and pushed out with Tai Chi Shed Strength, knocking the attacker back half a step!

"Everything is on a first-come, first-served basis, and it's rude to grab it directly."

Yan Lan withdrew her hand and lifted her eyes to look at the attacker.

The other party was wearing old clothes stained with red clay, which was a Miao style, about 1.8 meters tall, and he looked like a man on the outside.

He wears a black hood on his face, and only the human eye is dotted with two red spots.

Laundry is dry.

"It's not wet, and there's a secret passage inside?"

Yan Lan raised her eyebrows.

Without saying a word, the masked man stepped forward and took the wooden box directly!

Yan Lan walked diagonally, left hook and right support to block the opponent's competition with a single whip, and hit her face with her right hand, and the mask man cultivator Neg knocked her strength off.

Wing Chun?

Yan Lan recognized it instantly.

The two brushed sideways, Yan Lan struck back with her left hand, and was blocked by the other party's palm, and the fingers of her right hand loosened, and threw the wooden box into her trouser pocket.

The two sides turned around at the same time after passing half a step apart!

Yan Lan stepped forward to press her body and shot, slid down at the moment when the opponent raised her arm to block, and with the help of Tai Chi Punch, she introduced a failure, bypassed the opponent's arm and turned to attack the lower position, her hand was not hung up, and she attacked with both hands with her belt.

The masked man tied his hands to block, and Wing Chun rushed to break through Yan Lan's defense, Yan Lan pushed his hand, and used his palm to pluck the attacking arm, and used stickiness to unload his strength.

Almost every palm is stuck to the strength of the Wing Chun fist.

Yan Lan pinched the right time, suddenly changed momentum and hit the other party with a double push palm, and saw that the masked man was shocked back a few steps!

"The introduction of the void is out, and the stickiness does not lose the top, these tricks are the essence of Tai Chi."

Yan Lan smiled, took out the wooden box from his pocket and shook it: "Even if you continue to fight, you can't take this thing away." ”

The masked man couldn't see his expression, as if he looked at Yan Lan for a few seconds, and then turned around and threw himself into the water.

Yan Lan didn't chase.

"Although I used Wing Chun, I didn't make a killing move...... Do any of the villagers in Donghua Village know how to Wing Chun? It's almost the same as splashing me with Gu worms. ”

Yan Lan thought about it, and directly pulled the lock on the wooden box and forcibly opened the wooden box.

The contents were wrapped in a red cloth, and Yan Lan's pupils shrank the moment she opened it-

It is an extremely complete snakeskin.

The head of the snake bites the tail of the snake to form a ring, with a layer of white scales on the outside and dark black scales on the inside.

"Interesting."

Yan Lan didn't act rashly, and chuckled lowly, "You said that I just entered the game, and I just returned to the circle, and I didn't even show my head, and this mess is all sticking to me." ”

The shadow behind her fluctuated like the surface of the water for a moment, and several wriggling tentacles poked out, whispering in the hallucinations.

[Those who deceive you are all killed, and those who dare to play with you are all killed, gnawing off their hearts and brains......]

[I'd rather kill by mistake than let it go, let's do it, I'm so hungry, you're hungry too, you have to bear double the pain of me, that little bit of something, how can you suppress the side effects......]

[You can't always support me on your own, you have to think about ...... cub]

The words all rang out at the same time, coming from different voices, scrambling to stuff into the ears and fill the brain.

It's almost going to tear the brain apart.

"That's enough."

Yan Lan buckled the box, and the gentle "click" sound was accompanied by a calm and indifferent command sentence.

The ever-expanding tentacles snapped, quickly retracted into shadows, and crept silently.

No, I forgot to care about this thing as soon as I went crazy last night, and I couldn't close it as long as I released it once.

Yan Lan gently slapped her head with the box, thinking with a headache:

Almost always staring at the moment, trying to change from shadow to body...... Forget it, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth.

Yan Lan put away the box and inspected the surrounding walls, but found no other entrances at all.

She thought about jumping into the water and going back the way she came.

……

"Wow, it's so cool."

Yan Lan emerged from the mouth of the pool and couldn't help but shudder.

It's still early February, and it's in the mountains, and this pool of water is freezing to death from the ground.

"Cool, why don't you hurry up?" Tu Yu urged, stretched out his hand and pulled Yan Lan up, "Here you go, put on a dress." ”

"Thank you," Yan Lan waved her hand to refuse, "I can't wear children's clothes, give me the coat." ”

“……”

Tuyu threw the clothes on her, and said angrily:

"No matter how wet your clothes are, will you be able to wear them tomorrow? And your coat is close-fitting, and I'm a school uniform! ”

The school uniform of an ordinary middle school student.

That's fine.

"You can trap two of me."

Yan Lan put it in, shook the wide sleeves of her school uniform, and sighed softly.

"It's about the same as my robe, but I haven't worn it for a long time."

"We middle school students are almost the same as you, Taoist priests with pure hearts and few desires, that is, we read and learn the Tao, and we read and study."

Tu Yu looked at the small wooden box in her hand, "What's down there, what did you get?" ”

"The snake molts." Yan Lan threw the things to her.

If Yan Lan wants to hide the clues, she can put them in her backpack.

Tuyu didn't touch it, just looked at it, "This skin looks like a little white snake, but it's a bit big...... His mother's? ”

"Perhaps." Yan Lan didn't refute.

"I don't have a clue either," Xuan Mingfeng shook his head and returned the wooden box, "I probably don't know as much about Donghua Village as you do, and I'm mainly here to investigate the matter of Bai Marsh." ”

"Alright," Yan Lan tossed the wooden box into her backpack, "let's take a look at the village." ”

"Let's go back to the village later, we've found something too."

Tu Yu led Yan Lan to the highest point of the three mountains of Yan, and it was also the highest place in the entire Donghua Village.

"Look at this."

Tu Yu stopped and crouched, turning over the heaps of rock, revealing the corroded steel bars.

"Foundation?" Yan Lan touched the rust on the steel bar, "In such a high place, you want to build a signal tower?" ”

Xuan Mingfeng nodded: "Yes, and according to the humidity of the air and the degree of rust of the steel bar, it has been here for at least ten years." ”

More than ten years......

Yan Lan frowned.

That's wrong, these times don't match.
