Chapter 125: Exploration
On this day, Ouyang Feng practiced the Eight Desolations God Thunder and Hongshang, Qingfeng, and Mingyue for a whole day, and when he returned to the garden to prepare for dinner, Da Panya and Azi Cat were already waiting there, circling around the pot table, and Azi Cat saw Hongshang coming back, and excitedly ran to his side and used his big head to feed Hongshang's arm, meaning to let her hurry up and cook.
Hongshang smiled faintly, rubbed the head of the cat lovingly, walked to the stove, and tied an apron to light the fire and cook the rice.
Dinner was sumptuous, with hot and sour soup, stir-fried pork with melon slices, braised eggplant, potato slices and a plate of pickles. When the last dish was ready, Ah Zi Cat actually walked to the table and stretched out his head to smell it, then pointed to the potato slices and melon slices to fry the meat with his paws, then turned around and walked to the side, squatting in front of the big wooden basin of its 'rice bowl', looking at the red clothes with his eyes.
Ouyang Feng sat at the stone table, smelling the tempting aroma of rice, but seeing that Hongshang was busy adding more than half a pot of rice to Ah Zi Mao, and took more than half of the potato slices and melon slices and fried meat into the wooden basin to stir, serving Ah Zi Mao, the big stomach king to eat, Ouyang Feng was very dissatisfied and pointed to the few dishes left and said, "I said senior sister, you are too much, right? ”
The red coat didn't reply, gently patted the Azi cat who was feasting, and said disappreciatively: "Azi cat is hungry, let it eat more if it likes to eat, what are you fighting with it?"
Hongsheng's words made Ouyang Feng feel that the woman who was overflowing with love was really unreasonable, sighed helplessly, glared at Ah Zi Mao and said viciously: "I can eat it like this, I don't see how much you pull it out, I really don't know where you have eaten." It's even better now, and I learned to order. I'll have to give you leftovers later, huh. The cat looked up. glanced at Ouyang Feng with contemptuous eyes, roared dissatisfiedly, and licked Hongsheng's hand flatteringly, and then continued to eat.
Qingfeng shook his head with a helpless wry smile and said, "Senior brother, dissipate your anger, isn't there still a lot of dishes, enough for us to eat." ”
Ouyang said angrily: "It's not a matter of whether it's enough to eat, Azi Cat is becoming more and more arrogant now, and we haven't eaten it yet." But it ate first. ”
Mingyue sighed in a low voice: "No way, who will let the family have someone to support them." ”
Da Banya sat on the stone table, held a piece of scrap iron and took a bite, chewed while looking at Ouyang Feng and then at Azi Cat, and then ran to Ouyang Feng, raised the scrap iron in his hand and handed it to Ouyang Feng. Ouyang Feng touched Da Banya's little head, smiled with relief and said, "It's still Da Panya sensible, you can eat, I can't chew it." Big Panya blinked his eyes. looked at the scrap iron in his hand, and then looked at Ouyang Feng's front teeth, proudly patted his big plate teeth with his claws, and returned to its position with the scrap iron to continue eating.
Then. Pei Di, Rice Bucket, Barlow, and Bruce came over to eat after their cultivation, and when they saw the four dishes and one soup on the table, Rice Bucket's eyes lit up. He was very happy and said, "What day is it today? Why are there so many dishes?" and brought the rice pot over. Serve food to everyone.
Everyone sat down and waited for Hongshang to move his chopsticks. The people who had already salivated were no longer polite and shot one after another, and after a while, the plate containing the vegetables bottomed out, and the soup went down for most of the time, and at this time, everyone was only half full, Ouyang Feng's hands were quick, and when Hongshang took away the last potato slice, he buckled half a bowl of rice on the plate as quickly as possible, and while using vegetable soup to bibimbap, he proudly squeezed his eyebrows at others.
After dinner, Ouyang Feng said while drinking tea: "It's been more than a year in the blink of an eye, and it is estimated that it can't be too chaotic outside, let's also go out and go around, first, buy some food and daily necessities, and second, I plan to go farther away to see if I can buy some auxiliary pills for impacting Jindan." But before that, let's take care of one more thing. ”
The rice bucket didn't like to drink tea, so after pouring a large bowl of cold water, he asked curiously, "What's the matter?"
Ouyang Feng coughed lightly and said, "I'm talking about the secret passage in the secret room of this cave, everyone was busy cultivating and didn't have time some time ago, but now is the time." ”
Qingfeng patted his head and said suddenly: "I'm about to forget about this, when will it pass?"
Ouyang Feng originally planned to go in a while, but after thinking about it, he said: "It's better to go again tomorrow morning, everyone has been busy for a day, have a good rest at night, and tomorrow morning when everyone recovers to the best state, we will go on an adventure together." Hongshang nodded and said, "Okay, then let's go over early tomorrow morning, Barlow, Bruce, you two have a good rest at night, don't hide in the room to practice, it's not bad for half a day." ”
In order to catch up with the others, in addition to cultivating during the day, Barlow and Bruce would also practice in their respective rooms most of the time, sleeping only three or five hours a day, their hard work was obvious to all, and they had advised them to rest well, but the two insisted on cultivating for at least fifteen hours a day. The big boss spoke, Barlow and Bruce nodded again and again, and after insisting for such a long time, the two of them also felt a little unbearable, so they just took this opportunity to rest for a night.
After a night of nothing, after a simple breakfast the next morning, Ouyang Feng and the eight of them came to the secret room together with Big Panya and Azi Cat, and Azi Cat returned to the secret room again, looking a little uneasy, especially the prohibition that had trapped it for many years, which made it even more jealous, and did not dare to cross the line by half a step, just spinning in place, no matter how Ouyang Feng greeted them, it was useless.
Seeing this, Mingyue and Hongshang walked to the side of Azi Cat for a while to reassure, which calmed down Azi Cat, and through the exchange of hearts, Mingyue told Azi Cat that the ban had been closed, and it was just passing by here, not wanting to lock it up, and pulled Azi Cat to try, making sure that there was no ban, and Azi Cat was relieved and bold to join others again.
There are three huge iron cages in the innermost part of the secret room, and the entrance to the secret passage is on the wall behind the iron cage in the middle.
Ouyang Feng and the others curiously looked around the iron cage and found that the four corners of the original iron cage were deep into the ground, like the foundation of a building, firmly fixing the cage to the ground. In fact, there is a gap between the iron cage and the wall that is more than two meters wide, and everyone can completely bypass the iron cage to open the secret passage, but they are worried that there will be something dangerous rushing out inside, Ouyang Feng and the others discussed it and decided to find a way to move the iron cage away first, so that even if there is really something inside after the secret passage is opened, everyone will have a certain buffer distance, so that they will not all hide in that small place, and there is no place to hide and only be beaten passively.
Although this iron cage looks big and strong enough, the texture is not very good, it is ordinary wrought iron, and it took less than an hour for the big plate teeth to bite off more than sixty arm-thick iron railings.
Clearing the iron cage that blocked the view, Ouyang Feng and the others stood in battle formation, each opening their defenses and looking at the dusty wall. Red Dress came to the corner of the secret room, where it was the hub for controlling the various prohibitions and mechanisms in the secret room, pressed the jade plate on one of the grooves, and played a few more spells, in a dull sound of rock rubbing, Red Dress quickly returned to the middle of the team, and looked at the slowly rising stone door vigilantly.
The stone gate slowly opened with a rumbling sound mixed with falling dust, and Ouyang Feng's divine sense spread in for the first time, first glanced at it roughly, and did not find any living beings, so he began to probe into the distance.
The three of them, Hongsheng, Qingfeng and Mingyue, according to the previous arrangement, released their divine senses to carefully inspect every floor and wall inside from near to far, looking for possible prohibitions, mechanisms and the like, because in the records left by the owner of the cave, Xi, there was no mention of the secret passage.
After a careful investigation by Ouyang Feng and the four of them, no traps were found within a few hundred meters of the cave-like secret passage, and when the smoke and dust at the stone gate dissipated, Ouyang Feng took out a five- or six-meter-long wooden stick that he had prepared before and handed it to the rice bucket at the front, asking him to explore the way with the wooden stick.
Everything was ready, the rice bucket held a shield inlaid with moonstone in his left hand to protect his body and also used it for lighting, and his right arm held a long wooden stick to knock on the floor and wall of the secret passage, and only after making sure that there was no danger did he carefully step into the secret passage. This time, Hongshang deliberately removed a lot of moonstones from the cave, and now there are more than two hundred in her storage ring, so after everyone enters the secret passage, before they advance a certain distance, Hongshang will embed a piece of moonstone on the wall for lighting. The secret passage is not very large, only more than three meters wide and four or five meters high, and the walls have obvious artificial traces of slashing and axes, although it is not very smooth, but the overall look is quite regular.
Cautiously walking out a few thousand meters, a closed stone door appeared at the end of Ouyang Feng's divine sense, which, like other places, was also covered with cobwebs and dust. Came to the stone gate, put his ear on it and listened for a while, did not hear any sound, the red dress found the mechanism that opened the stone door, and after everyone was ready, he took out the jade plate and followed the groove, and then turned the mechanism. The stone gate opened, and the four divine senses penetrated for the first time, and after Ouyang Feng and the four of them glanced at each other, the team continued to move forward, because there was still the same passage behind the stone gate.
After advancing for a few more kilometers, the stone gate appeared in front of him again, and after opening it, it was still the same passage as before, Mingyue said inexplicably: "What are you doing with so many doors?" ”
Qingfeng shrugged his shoulders and said, "I guess I'm afraid of something breaking in." ”
Then, after passing through a stone gate, Hongsheng complained, "What kind of secret passage is this, it's too long, isn't it?"
Ouyang Feng touched the wall and said thoughtfully: "Do you feel it, the further you go, the heavier the humidity becomes, I estimate that there must be a river or lake nearby." Be careful, everyone, we should not be far from the exit. (To be continued......)
