Chapter 12: The Secret of the Night (2)
The two of them inserted the sword back into the scabbard, and Song Jiyun: "Can you not make a fuss and scare yourself?" ”
Luo Ran: "He really moved!" Don't you see? ”
Song Jiyun didn't want to pay attention to him and continued to explore. Luo Ran looked at Lin Yue'er and said, "Yue'er, you believe me, I really saw him move!" ”
Lin Yue'er knew that what Luo Ran said might be true, because here, she did sense the fact that the old man was indeed alive just now.
Lin Yue'er: "I believe you!" She affirmed.
Luo Ran: "It's still the best Yue'er." Luo Ran took Lin Yue'er's hand and said.
Song Jiyun saw it and immediately dragged Luo Ran over: "Come here and find the exit together!" ”
Luo Ran was suddenly pulled to Song Jiyun's right hand, and Lin Yue'er was on Song Jiyun's left hand.
Luo Ran could only start to find the exit, but he still glanced back with trepidation.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, the corner of the old man's mouth moved.
Luo Ran immediately turned his head and whispered in his mouth: "Buddha bless, Buddha bless." ”
Song Jiyun smiled: "Don't worry, there are no ghosts in this world!" ”
Luo Ran ignored him and continued to earnestly search for an exit from here.
Lin Yue'er sensed that something was wrong, just now it was obviously three people breathing, but now there are four people, which means that the old man is really alive.
Lin Yue'er turned around, and the old man sat there motionless.
Song Jiyun saw that Lin Yue'er had been staring at the old man, and asked, "You don't think there really is a ghost, do you?" ”
Lin Yue'er said seriously: "There are no ghosts, but there is one living person." ”
Song Jiyun listened to Lin Yue'er's words, and her eyes fell on the old man sitting there.
Song Jiyun seemed to notice that something was wrong at this time, he walked over with Lin Yue'er and stood still in front of the old man.
Song Jiyun went to probe the old man's snort, but he didn't breathe.
After Luo Ran saw it, he also came over, but this time he hid behind Song Jiyun and didn't dare to step forward.
Song Jiyun suddenly wanted to make a joke: "You try!" ”
Luo Ran: "Huh? I don't try! I just tried it and there was no snort! ”
Song Jiyun deliberately teased him: "Just now, now is now, you try again!" ”
Luo Ran hesitated: "Try it." Then he stretched out his finger and put it under the old man's snort, and he clearly felt the old man's warm breathing.
Luo Ran reflexively withdrew his hand and shouted: "Ah! He's alive! ”
Song Jiyun thought he was acting deliberately, so he smiled: "Look at your guts, can you be a little promising?" ”
Lin Yue'er also stretched out her finger at this time, and she said calmly: "He is telling the truth. ”
Song Jiyun looked at her, and Lin Yue'er then said, "He's still alive." ”
Song Jiyun stretched out his finger again, and this time he really felt that this old man was indeed alive.
Song Jiyun immediately put away his playful mentality and said seriously: "How did he do it?" ”
Judging by this old man's appearance, he must have been here for a long time, and I don't know how many years have passed.
They hadn't found an exit at this time, and the three of them were still in the process of discovering that the strange old man was still alive.
There was little movement outside, and the ground began to tremble.
Lin Yue'er used the Origin Technique to check again, and she quickly opened her eyes: "Some monsters that have been raised by people are coming towards us, they are not moving fast, and they will be here in about a quarter of an hour!" ”
Luo Ran exclaimed: "A quarter of an hour? Isn't that right away? ”
Song Jiyun realized something: "Quick! Come and find the exit! ”
The three of them were still groping there, and the monsters outside were getting closer and closer.
The strange old man's voice sounded from the ears of the three people: "Taiji gives birth to two yi, two yi gives birth to four elephants, and four elephants give birth to gossip." ”
The three of them stopped, and Song Jiyun muttered in his mouth: "Tai Chi gossip." I get it! ”
Lin Yue'er and Luo Ran smiled, and Luo Ran: "It's okay, this strange old man is still a little useful!" ”
Song Jiyun found the door, and before Yunli could open the door, the strange old man's voice sounded again: "Once you succeed in pushing it, if you break it again, those monsters will still follow after a while!" ”
Song Jiyun understood, he didn't want to use as much skill as he did just now.
This time, he only used one successful force, and the stone door was pushed open.
Before those monsters were about to come in, Luo Ran ran over, carried the strange old man on his back, and took him away.
Blame the old man: "You still have a little conscience!" ”
After a few people entered, the stone door automatically closed, and the moment it closed, those monsters came in, and the monsters were raised by someone who didn't know what kind of means they used, but looking at the appearance, it was not difficult to tell that they should be ordinary people before.
And now, their faces are hideous, they can't see the appearance of people at all, long fangs have grown out of their mouths, their arms are thick, their skin texture is even like scales, and their hair is still black as before, and their eyes are full of scarlet bloodshots, as if they have gone mad in cultivating the exercises.
A few people continued to walk, Luo Ran was still carrying the old man, at first he thought that the strange old man was quite light, but after walking for a while, he felt that it was getting heavier and heavier.
Song Jiyun and Lin Yue'er were still walking forward, and Luo Ran panted: "Wait a minute, let's rest first, this strange old man is too heavy!" With that, he was already sitting on the ground, and the strange old man was leaning against the stone wall.
Blame the old man: "You stinky boy! Don't lean me against the stone wall, it's too icy! ”
Luo Ran turned his back and leaned on his back, and the two of them were back to back.
Luo Ran slowed down: "If it weren't for the sake of you saving us just now, I wouldn't have betrayed you, you should be content!" ”
Blame the old man: "Stinky boy, I've been asleep for too long now, so I can't control my body for a while, if you don't treat me better, when I recover later, I'll be the first to settle accounts with you!" ”
Luo Ran: "Okay, okay!" You're amazing! I don't dare mess with you! Luo Ran really didn't want to talk to him more, he had been in for so long, he hadn't drunk a sip of water, and his mouth was dry for a long time, so it was better to save it.
Song Jiyun and Lin Yue'er stood there resting, not leaning against the stone wall, because the stone wall was indeed cold and difficult to reach.
Lin Yue'er: "Why are the stone walls here so cold?" It's like a thousand years of ice! ”
The strange old man answered: "How do you know that it is a thousand years of ice?" ”
Lin Yue'er: "I just said casually, there is not even a person in this world who has lived for thousands of years, how can there be thousands of years of ice?" ”
Strange old man: "You're right, it's indeed a thousand years of ice. ”
Lin Yue'er and the three of them looked at the strange old man in disbelief, and the strange old man continued: "This stone wall is indeed full of thousand-year-old ice, because the people who built this place were built with stones mixed with these thousand-year-old ice. In order to find these cold ices, he abandoned the government and ignored state affairs, and in order to build this place, he put his pregnant wife behind him. When he finished his satisfying work and went to find his wife with joy, he learned that his wife and his unborn child had been killed by the imperial teacher and had died in the palace a year earlier. Later, he killed the national teacher, gave up the throne to his younger brother, who was twelve years younger than him, and went to the underground palace alone, accompanying his deceased wife and unborn children. Until one day, he was surprised to find that there was nothing in that coffin at all, just an empty coffin. He realized that he had been deceived, so he left the dungeon and prepared to return to the palace to ask his brother if he knew the internal cause of the matter. But he didn't know what was waiting for him, and his brother, who was full of trust, was instigated by others to ...... him."
Before the strange old man could finish the story, they heard the sound of those monsters banging frantically on the stone wall from not far away.
Luo Ran: "It's not good, you have to get out of here quickly, or those monsters will probably catch up!" ”
He picked up the strange old man on his back, Song Jiyun and Lin Yue'er also quickened their pace, and the three of them all ran, because it was difficult for them to estimate the strength of those monsters who had never fought before, so they had to get out quickly while avoiding them.
Strange old man: "After a quarter of an hour of walking, there should be a stone gate!" ”
Luo Ran: "I know, I know, you don't have to say a word, I feel that you are getting heavier and heavier, like a mountain!" Luo Ran complained.
The strange old man really stopped talking, it's not that he didn't refute, it's just that he is recovering now, and the less emotions fluctuate, the better!
Lin Yue'er ran at the back, looking behind her from time to time to see if there were any monsters catching up, after all, Luo Ran was carrying a strange old man on his back, and it was inconvenient to do it.
Besides, if you try it, Luo Ran can't beat Lin Yue'er at all. Although she is a woman, she is destined to have an extraordinary life!
A quarter of an hour later, I saw a stone door appearing inside the stone wall, but the stone door here was clearly visible, and someone should have been here recently.
Song Jiyun pushed the stone door open and entered, and then the stone door closed automatically, and the sound of monster knocking and footsteps gradually became much quieter. Several people continued to move forward, without any intention of stopping.
Song Jiyun was worried that Luo Ran would not have enough physical strength, so he asked, "Are you okay?" Do you want to replace me? ”
Luo Ran shook his head and waved his hand: "I'm okay, continue!" ”
Song Jiyun saw that he was so persistent, so he didn't ask again, turned around and continued to walk forward.
Song Jiyun OS: What is the origin of this strange old man? And why is he imprisoned here? The mechanism behind the painting, but anyone who is careful will find it, and there are so many guards guarding the outside of that house, and I don't know how many secret guards have been sent secretly, how can it be so easy to let us in? There must be some secret in this, and the key is this strange old man, how much is he hiding? Forget it, let's get out safely first!
In fact, it wasn't just Song Jiyun who was suspicious, Lin Yue'er was also thinking: The strangeness in this, as well as the coincidence of straying into the secret passage, all seem to have arranged everything in advance, who is it?
Luo Ran only did manual work, and he didn't have time to use his brain.
A few people don't know how long they've been trapped here, and what's going on outside? All of this will have to wait until you get out of here to find out.
Luo Ran was tired now, and he could hold on a little longer.
Lin Yue'er noticed that Luo Ran's steps were getting heavier and heavier: "Let's rest for a while." ”
Song Jiyun stopped, Luo Ran sat on the ground, his body was covered with sweat, the sweat on his face, and the sweat on his forehead flowed, he wiped his sleeve, trying to calm his breath.
The strange old man stopped talking at this time, and an unpleasant smell began to fill the air.
Song Jiyun covered her nose with her sleeve: "What kind of smell is this?" ”
Lin Yue'er also smelled it, she covered her nose with her hand, shook her head, and said she didn't know.
Although Luo Ran was sitting on the ground, he smelled so familiar.
Luo Ran exclaimed: "Everyone cover your mouth and nose, don't let this smell enter your lungs!" Then he reached out and covered the strange old man's nose and mouth.
The strange old man thought to himself: Well, this stinky boy is quite kind-hearted.
The strange old man spoke: "Don't move where you are, take three steps forward, then ten steps to the right, two steps in the direction of the stone wall, squat, take a stone to plug the smoking hole underneath, and you'll be fine!" ”
Luo Ran: "Then why didn't you say it earlier?!" "Luo Ran was a little angry.
Blame the old man: "You didn't ask me." ”
Luo Ran: "If I don't ask you, you won't say, I've been carrying you for so long!" What a revenge! ”
Strange old man: "You stinky boy, you wait for me, when I recover, I will definitely beat you all over the ground to find teeth!" ”
Luo Ran was not convinced: "Come on, come on, who is afraid of whom!" As he spoke, he moved harder in his hands.
The strange old man said: "Stinky boy! You want to kill me! ”
Luo Ran angrily: "Yes! I just want to kill you! ”
At this time, Song Jiyun had already taken three steps forward, ten steps to the right, and two steps to the direction of the stone wall according to the method that the strange old man said just now, squatting down, and sure enough, he saw the small hole with fragrant smoke, he picked up the stone from the side and stuffed it inside, stuffed it full, until there was no smell and smoke came in, he got up and returned to his original position.
Now there is no road ahead, Song Jiyun and Lin Yue'er are looking for an exit, this place is too big, after walking for so long, passing through so many stone gates, and walking so many roads, they still haven't walked out of the dark passage. You can imagine how much energy and effort it took to build this place at that time!
The stone wall here is a little warmer than the previous stone wall, and it seems that this place should not be far from the outside.
Luo Ran asked the strange old man: "Strange old man!" How long will we have to walk before we get out?! ”
The blame old man didn't squeak, Luo Ran pinched his nose, and blamed the old man: "Hey, hey, let go!" Stinky boy! ”
Luo Ran: "Let me ask you!" How long is it before you get out? ”
Strange old man: "It's still a long time!" ”
Luo Ran was surprised: "For a long time? How long is it? ”
The strange old man stopped talking again, Luo Ran: "You just said that we are not halfway through the walk now, right?" ”
The strange old man thought for a while: "It should be exactly half!" ”
Luo Ran: "Where did you start counting half of it?" "Did it start with the secret passage when they came in, or did it start with the strange old man?
Strange old man: "From the moment you saw me. ”
Luo Ran breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, that's okay." ”
Fortunately, I didn't just start counting from the place where I entered the secret passage, otherwise, I would have to die of exhaustion! Now I'm half tired of this.
Blame the old man: "Don't be too happy too early, there are still many difficulties ahead!" ”
Luo Ran: "Got it." ”
Now that the fragrance of the place had dissipated, Luo Ran also stood up and searched for an exit with the two of them.
As soon as Luo Ran passed, he didn't know where he came across, and a stone door opened on the opposite side.
The strange old man shouted, "Close it!" ”
Luo Ran hurriedly waved at the place he had just touched. But three monsters had already entered from the stone gate that had just been opened. Luo Ran didn't know where he touched it at this time, the stone door was closed again, and the monsters behind him were constantly knocking on the stone door, and the whole ground was trembling.
Before they could react, the three monsters rushed towards the three of them, much faster than before.
Lin Yue'er dealt with one, Song Jiyun dealt with one, and Luo Ran was forced to deal with one.
All three of them were entangled by monsters, and the strange old man was still recovering at this time and couldn't help.
Luo Ran was pressed to the stone wall by the monster, blocking the monster with his sword, he couldn't even pull out the sword, and his strength was not as big as this monster.
Luo Ran gritted his teeth: "Grandpa is on a par with you today!" His face was red.
Song Jiyun slashed this monster with a sword, but the monster was only slightly injured, just like an ordinary person was scratched by something, it was simply tickling.
No matter how strong Lin Yue'er is in martial arts, she can't get a monster who is more powerful than a normal young man!
At this time, a voice came to Song Jiyun's ears: "Fengyun Palm's sixth style, six successful forces, third style, five successful forces, eighth style, and eight successful forces, respectively, hit the dantian, chest, and forehead." ”
After Song Jiyun did so, the monster really collapsed on the ground like mud, and then he went to help Lin Yue'er, and Lin Yue'er went to help Luo Ran. Because she saw Song Jiyun's move just now, Lin Yue'er understood it quickly, and subdued the monster that restrained Luo Ran in a few moves.
The strange old man thought to himself: Oh? Interesting!
He didn't expect these two young people to be so powerful, and their comprehension of martial arts was so high? It's not a thousand years old!
Song Jiyun knew that the source of the voice just now was the strange old man.
After Song Jiyun subdued that monster, he muttered in his heart: Why does this strange old man know so much about the weaknesses of these monsters? Who is he?
Song Jiyun put his sword against the neck of the strange old man: "Say, who are you?" ”
Luo Ran sat on the ground and watched this scene, and he was also looking forward to the answer to this sentence.
Lin Yue'er stood there and looked at them.
Blame the old man: "I can say that, but you have to put your sword down first." ”
Song Jiyun immediately put the sword back into the sheath: "Say it." ”
Blame the old man: "Actually, I wanted to say it just now, but I was interrupted." ”
Song Jiyun looked at him, and the strange old man continued: "My younger brother, who is twelve years younger than him, at the instigation of others, imprisoned his own brother in this dark realm that his brother was proud of and wasted nearly a lifetime of energy. ”
