Chapter 7 There is a hole in the mountain

This is a natural karst cave, and only the erosion of flowing water for countless years can create such a warm rock wall and stalactites of different shapes. But in it, there are traces of artificial excavation.

The traces were clearly very old, some of the places near the flowing water had long since become very smooth and unrecognizable, perhaps they appeared decades ago, even centuries ago, but because they were hidden deep in the belly of the mountain away from the light of the sun, everything was still in the past.

And today, these traces that were originally sealed by time have been reawakened by the man in green shirts and his entourage, plus Qin Ke.

Following the man in green shirt into the cave, Qin Ke looked at the wide cave, and then looked at the back of the man in green shirt who was walking steadily step by step, the night did not make his green shirt completely hidden, just because Qin Ke had night vision beyond most people's imagination.

After a few hundred steps of further walking, his amazing night vision gradually lost its effect, and the cavern was as deep as the throat of hell, as if it was walking all the time, and even any light would be swallowed up by darkness.

If there is no light, it is easy to give birth to ghosts, if it weren't for the sound of flowing water still ringing in his ears, I was afraid that Qin Ke would immediately retreat.

Qin Ke knew that his ability to see at night came from the fact that he could magnify the faint light around him ten times in his eyes, but after going deep into the cave, the moonlight that came in from the outside had also disappeared without a trace.

Naturally, he could only touch the rock wall, control the footsteps, and follow the two of them step by step.

For a moment, he regretted that he had followed the Tsing Yi man up the mountain without thinking about it, he always felt that the Tsing Yi man had many secrets hidden in him, and now, when the black cloth symbolizing the secret was lifted, some things were connected in his mind.

Jianghu people. Treasure. Black Ride. Are these people and things that shouldn't have appeared in Daoxiang Village related to the people in green shirts?

Although it was just a guess for no reason, Qin Ke was a little stunned in his heart, did he touch something that he shouldn't touch?

As we move on, the cave becomes more and more open. By now, Qin Ke had no idea where he was in the mountains.

In the icy water, some palm-sized fish gradually emerged, and unlike the fish in the outside world, these small fish were transparent, and under their shells, their internal organs could be seen clearly only by the naked eye. There was a faint glow on them in the dark, and they had no eyes, but they were able to swim nimbly without hitting any obstacles, which was amazing.

Qin Ke knew this kind of fish, and remembered that there was a book that said that the bones of this kind of fish were usually divination props in many sacrifices, although these fish could not see things, but because of this, they could see clearly things beyond what their eyes could see, such as good fortune and misfortune, such as good fortune and evil.

The man in the green shirt was obviously very familiar with the cave, and he didn't even slow down in the face of these fish, but Abu behind him was a little curious about these fish, and he leaned down to touch them while stepping on the water, but he almost fell because of the slippery cobblestone.

At the end of the current, there is a spring, which is gushing out of the water.

Qin Ke leaned against the rock wall, only to feel that the breath around him was getting wetter and wetter. It's just that...... In addition to the heavy moisture, he also smelled a not-so-pleasant smell of rust.

In the shadows, there seemed to be a figure dressed in white, holding a spear, walking slowly.

Qin Ke squinted his eyes, although the light of the fire fold did not allow him to see the whole picture of the cave clearly, but with this bit of light, he could still see clearly that the person in white was not a hellish ghost, but a man with a well-proportioned body and broad shoulders.

But somehow, Qin Ke was frightened, just a jump, he climbed up a section of the inclined rock wall, along such a place, he continued to go up, found a high raised rock, one turned over, and lay on it.

"Coming?" the man laughed, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

The man in green shirt nodded: "It's here." ”

"You're not mistaken. Although it is vaguely said in "Cuiwei Collection", the mausoleum here can't be faked, that thing, now it must be sleeping in the deepest part, I'm afraid that I don't know that my nest is coming to us at this time. The man said, stretching out his hand and lighting the fire, and a moment later a flame lit from the torch in his hand, and the light of the fire illuminated the cave, drawing their shadows into long pythons, and in the blink of an eye, they looked like ghosts lurking in the cave.

Fortunately, Qin Ke was lying in a very high position, three zhang away from the green-shirted man and Abu Shang, although the light of the torch below him flickered, but such a light could not really illuminate this huge cave at all, and naturally it was impossible to illuminate him, a mouse immersed in darkness.

Because of this, Qin Ke had more time to think. The dew dripped down the stalactites and on his shoulders, bringing a bit of coolness, but he didn't have the heart to enjoy it at all, but tried to restrain his breathing, and let his heart beat as gently as possible as if it were sleeping.

The voice of the green-shirted man talking in his ears weakened, Qin Ke's heart was a little calmer, but the doubts in his heart swelled, in fact, he has never liked to study very much, and the master once said that if he was willing to put half of his heart into swordsmanship and body technique, he should have read the Four Books and Five Classics a long time ago. It's just that today, there are very few poems that he can memorize.

But the exception is "Cui Wei Ji", which was Master's favorite book during his lifetime.

A person likes books to the extreme, and naturally he can't put the book down, and he grew up watching his master hold "Cuiwei Collection", so he naturally knows a lot about this book.

If there was any time when he raised his eyebrows in front of his master, it was probably when he recited the verses of "Cuiwei Collection" in a straight voice, right? It's just that the deceased is gone, and now that he thinks about it, he can't help but have a little sour eyes.

However, the whole text of "Cuiwei Collection" is just some verses, at most it is a little bit of customs, and what secrets can it hide? What is that thing? And ...... Why do the people in green shirts have so much in common with the master?

"Let's not call it a 'thing'. At this moment, the man in the green shirt spoke again, "If it is a thing, then what are we?"

Abu looked around, but felt that he couldn't see anything, so he could only sigh: "It's a pity to think about a divine thing, but hiding in such a dark place." ”

The man with the gun smiled: "If he wasn't forced to hide in this kind of place, where would we have a chance?" Personally, I hate the sadness of being at such a time, which makes me feel as if I am confessing to the roast chicken on the table." ”

Qin Ke's mind was even more confused, what is that?

But in any case, this group of people must not have come for the stone lion buried in the earth, otherwise...... He shouldn't have heard these people in this cave now, but he saw them digging three feet into the ground with shovels at the entrance of the village.

"Don't be poor. Changgong, you go first. The man in the green shirt spoke again.

And the man known as Chang Gong smiled, waved the fire fold in his hand, and the light shone brightly and darkly on his body, revealing the steel spear in his right hand: "Of course ......"

Qin Ke heard his voice disappear completely, and the firelight also disappeared.

The footsteps were far away in the darkness, Qin Ke slowly breathed a sigh of relief, he had been hiding in this place and eavesdropping on them for a quarter of an hour, in this quarter of an hour, he controlled his body to be as quiet as possible, but it also took a lot of energy to maintain this state, at this moment, he was so tired that he seemed to have run back and forth from the mountain to the mountain several times.

But he didn't dare to let up in the slightest, and as the footsteps faded away, he could finally be sure of one thing.

The man who was called Chang Gong was the most terrifying person in this group.

As a teenager, he practiced his hearing acumen under the guidance of his master, and by now he can hear many things clearly from a distance. And in such an environment, many voices would be amplified countless times, and he could hear Changgong's heart beating continuously every moment.

Boom. Knock knock.

He had no doubt that if he was discovered, he was afraid that the sound of his heartbeat, which was as deep as a war drum, would turn into the roar of a lion in an instant, swallowing him whole.
