Chapter 56: The Unexpected
Fortunately, Chai Shien was not high from the ground, and there were rotten leaves that had accumulated for decades under his feet, and even if he fell suddenly, he was only slightly uncomfortable in his ankles. He was shocked and dragged the hemp rope that had been cut into two sections, and said to Ge Kunfeng, "Senior brother, this one is broken, let's still pick it up!"
Ge Kunfeng felt ashamed in his heart, and then the dark night could not hide the blush on his face, "Senior Brother Chai, I was careless, don't worry, I won't let go of you again this time." Sure enough, Ge Kunfeng and Chai Shien held hands, carefully bypassing the roots, trying not to touch them, let alone alarm them. A quarter of an hour later, they finally stood at the entrance to the secret passage.
There are not many trees here, but there are lush vines. What creeper wild rose, tightly cover the entrance of the cave, even if someone passes by here, they will never find it. Besides, this place has been assimilated, and the wooden plank that blocks the entrance to the cave looks no different from the cave wall. Ge Kunfeng stood at the entrance of the cave and whispered something, and Chai Shien felt that his eyes lit up, and the wooden plank was removed, revealing the true face inside.
It is said to be a cave, but it has been artificially excavated on the basis of natural formation. The walls of the cave are clean and neat, and the ground is paved with a whole piece of bluestone, which is intricately formed into a complex pattern pattern, which looks simple and mysterious.
Chai Shien followed Ge Kunfeng into the cave, and felt that the temperature around him dropped rapidly, and he was obviously not wearing thin clothes, but he felt that goosebumps on his skin were coming out, and there were layers of cold on the soles of his feet!
"It's so cold!" Chai Shien said, hugging his shoulders. Ge Kunfeng gritted his teeth and said, "I did feel this way last time I came, as if it was completely isolated from the outside, and there was no trace of warmth. But fortunately, the distance from here to the outside is not far, so we just need to speed up our pace and get out of here soon. ”
At intervals on the walls of the cave on both sides, there will be a small concave surface, in which white candles are burned, and the flames the size of beans shine far away, illuminating almost the entire secret passage. This kind of light made Ge Kunfeng and Chai Shien feel extra relieved, and they didn't think much about it, they quickened their pace, they just wanted to leave here as soon as possible and go outside to warm up.
There was nothing in the secret passage, and Ge Kunfeng personally walked through it, so naturally he did not doubt him. But beneath this surface, there are many murderous motives hidden. Chai Shien's frozen and stiff soles were hit by something, and he didn't want to pay attention to it, but when he lifted the soles of his feet, the feeling of being held up by something did not disappear or weaken with the distance between the soles of his shoes and the ground, and he immediately concluded that what he stepped on was not an ordinary stone.
"Senior Brother Ge!" Chai Shien called out to Ge Kunfeng, and slowly lowered his head to look. It's just that my feet are blocking what is underneath, and I can't see anything clearly. Ge Kunfeng heard his voice tremble, stopped and looked back, and saw Chai Shien's cold sweat dripping, and immediately turned back.
"What?" Ge Kunfeng saw Chai Shien cushioning his feet, as if he had stepped on something, but he didn't dare to push very hard. So he bent down, pouted, and looked only at Chai Shien's feet with his eyes. If this look doesn't matter, Ge Kunfeng can't get up in one breath, and he almost loses his breath.
A cylindrical bulge was two inches high above the ground. As Chai Shien's body trembled, the soles of his feet also fluctuated high and low, and this bulge also moved high and low. Ge Kunfeng swallowed hard, grabbed Chai Shien's arms with both hands, tried his best to stabilize him, and said, "Senior Brother Chai, don't panic, don't panic, Senior Brother, I have learned how to crack the mechanism, there will definitely be a way!"
"Senior Brother Ge, what do you mean, we, we have encountered a deadly mechanism?" Chai Shien secretly said that his life was not good, he wanted to escape from here and save this little life, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing before he went far. If you are not careful, you will die on the spot.
"When Shi Yuanliang brought me here last time, everything was fine, there was no mechanism!" Ge Kunfeng was even more annoyed. If you say that you have cut off the roots of those ancient trees in the dense forest, you have already revealed your tracks, and you will have to take care of them when you go back. If there is any more movement here, no one else will be needed, and Master will kill him!
"Shi Yuanliang?" When Chai Shien heard this, he immediately understood seven or eight points. He couldn't help but sigh and said to Ge Kunfeng, "Senior Brother Ge, I'm afraid you have fallen for someone else's trick!"
Ge Kunfeng was delicate and cautious, and after being reminded by Chai Shien, and then thinking back on all kinds of past events, he understood everything, "It turned out to be him, it was Shi Yuanliang! No, it was not Shi Yuanliang, it was Pi Wei! I already knew that he coveted the business in my hands, but he had no way, so he could only look at his greed, and there was nothing he could do with me." This time, it's also my fault that I was defenseless and fell for their tricks!"
"No, Senior Brother Ge, this incident is coming at me, and I am the one who has caused you to be affected. At this moment, Chai Shien calmed down, "Senior Brother Ge, does you know about the Golden Marrow Pill?" Ge Kunfeng nodded, "I know a little bit about it, I heard that it was Kang Xingxian who took it from you and gave it to Senior Sister Xi Jun." Chai Shien smiled bitterly, "Yes, that's exactly what happened. But Senior Brother knows why Senior Brother Kang has to take the Golden Marrow Pill to Senior Sister Xi Jun?"
"Hey, it seems that Xi Jun has some illness and needs to be treated by the Golden Pulp Pill. "Although Ge Kunfeng knew about this, he didn't know much. Chai Shien nodded, "Yes, but my master told me that Senior Sister Xi Jun taking the Golden Marrow Pill will accelerate her illness, not to mention, if she is not careful, she will lose her life." And the Golden Pulp Pill is symptomatic, it comes from Pi Wei. ”
"I see!" Ge Kunfeng figured it all out, "Pi Wei flattered Senior Sister Xi Jun with a dead face, but he didn't get a good face. It was with hatred in his heart that he came up with such a vicious idea. Kang Xingxian was instigated by him and snatched your Golden Marrow Pill to Senior Sister Xi Jun, almost killing her. Master, his old man was aware of everything, so he punished Pi Wei to go to the Seven Star Tower. Because of this, he also hated you, so that's why he ......"
Now it is useless to do things later, Chai Shien said, "I think it was Pi Wei who knew that I was looking for you, senior brother, and wanted to go down the mountain, so I thought of such a clever plan to catch you and me." ”
Ge Kunfeng was full of hatred, and waved his hand at Chai Shien and said, "Senior Brother Chai, don't say anything that doesn't affect you, if I hadn't believed Shi Yuanliang's words, I wouldn't have fallen to such a point." If we can get out alive, senior brother, I will definitely avenge you and me. If you want to get out now, you have to find a heavy object to press on this mechanism instead of you. You wait, I'll come when I go!"
