Volume 1: Past Memories Chapter 15: Adventures in the Devil's Cave

The sky is about to break, and among the vast peaks, a wisp of fish belly white gradually emerges from the sea of clouds. In the eastern sky, the red sun is rising, and the glow is bursting, shining on the earth, exuding colorful light!

On the bank of Mingyue Peak, the morning bell of Hongqinju rang early, and the daily routine morning class time has arrived, but today is an exception. For the first time in history, today's morning class was cancelled.

Before dawn, the huge courtyard was already full of people. From the host, housekeeper and guests, down to the housekeepers, maids and cooks, dozens of people in the entire Hongqin Residence gathered, each with a serious expression, waiting for the master Xu Feng to speak.

The hosts, Xu Feng and Shangguan Hongqin, almost didn't close their eyes all night, and the two sat in the room worriedly for the second half of the night, just hoping that the sky would light up earlier. At the thought of the two sisters, whose whereabouts were unknown, the two sighed and became anxious. They racked their brains all night, but they couldn't figure out how the two big living people disappeared without warning, and they were always happy to see them, but they didn't see any unusual emotions. Why did the silent world evaporate?

Today, there is only one thing that dozens of people in Hongqinju have to do, and that is to continue to look for Xu Lengyue and Chu Xihua sisters.

Xu Feng stood on the high platform of the courtyard, his brows furrowed, his expression haggard, overnight, he seemed to have aged ten years old. The heroic spirit of the former mighty and domineering no longer exists. In its place was just a worried old man in his twilight.

When the morning sun sprinkled the entire courtyard, he spoke: "Thank you for looking up to me Xu Feng and following me for many years, I am deeply grateful to you. Now, the two children have disappeared inexplicably, I feel deeply remorseful, maybe I usually don't care enough about them, I'm just busy with the affairs of the rivers and lakes, I never know what they are thinking, I am really an incompetent father. Today, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to find them!" He paced back and forth on the high platform, his eyes were like torches, and he ordered in a deep voice: "Now, let's set off to the back mountain and continue to search!" He turned his head and glanced at the lady beside him, his eyes were resolute, as if he was conveying to his wife a kind of courage and confidence like a ship.

Everyone was divided into two teams, still the same as last night, one team went to the Valley of Forgotten Sorrow on the left side of the back mountain to search, and the other team headed for the butterfly garden on the right side of the back mountain. Two teams of more than 40 people, facing the morning light, walked mightily on the plank road leading to the back mountain.

In the early morning, the back mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist, and under the gentle sunlight, it emits a colorful light.

After a night's sleep, the earth reawakens to life. Everyone was silent, their expressions were serious, and everyone had only one wish in their hearts: to find the sisters as soon as possible. Then figure out the truth of the matter. Everyone is guessing in their hearts what the truth of the matter will be!

Liu Ruyan still followed behind Xu Feng, silent all the way. Last night he was lying in bed, tossing and turning, and he didn't feel sleepy.

He spent half the night, recalling the bits and pieces he had experienced with Hua Mei since he was a child, as if those were what happened yesterday, when he was a child, the master often took him and Hua Mei to practice martial arts together, they competed in the backyard, every time he would let Hua Mei, pretend that he lost, and then lie on the ground and pretend to cover his chest and shout pain, pretending that he was injured by Hua Mei, every time at this moment, Hua Mei would throw the sword in her hand aside, and was frightened by his pretending to be in pain, crying and shouting: Brother Liu, what's wrong with you, are you okay, don't scare meAt this moment, he couldn't help laughing, and then Hua Mei knew that he was deliberately pretending to scare herself, so she would scold him for being a bad brother and keep chasing him...... Together, they weeded in the garden, picked vegetables, chased butterflies, and caught crickets...... Let's go down to the river pond to catch fish...... Let's go to the tea garden to pick fresh tea for the master...... All the good past events are vivid, and when he thinks about it before, he always smiles unconsciously.

But now that he thought about it, he only felt a kind of pain in his heart, and he thought about it, and unconsciously moistened his eyes. Great sorrow hung over my heart. I don't know how long later, he closed his eyes in a daze and fell asleep, he even had a dream, in the dream, he saw Hua Mei and Leng Yue girl holding hands in the sun and running towards him, the Hua Mei he was looking for finally came back, and suddenly fell into his arms, sad and weeping! Then, he and Hua Mei said goodbye to Uncle Xu and Mrs. Shangguan, and after Xihua and Leng Yue girl said goodbye, the two rode on a white horse and embarked on the long road home......

As dawn approached, he suddenly woke up from his sleep, looking at the empty room, tears sliding down his cheeks, and it turned out that this beautiful picture was nothing but an ethereal dream.

The crowd searched carefully along the area they had searched last night, focusing on the hidden corners that were not easy to find. Liu Ruyan pondered and said to Xu Feng: "Uncle Xu, the younger generation has a bold speculation, I don't know if to talk about it or not?"

When Xu Feng heard this, his heart sank, and he said eagerly: "What does the virtuous nephew think, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" He looked at Liu Ruyan eagerly.

Liu Ruyan's eyes flickered, and he pondered, "Last night, we searched most of the area on the ground of this Forgotten Sorrow Valley, but we didn't find any valuable clues. This shows that the chances of finding them in these places are slim to none. ”

He continued slowly, "Yesterday, I heard from Steward Ma that Miss Leng Yue and Sister Hua often come to the jungle in the back mountains to look for Dendrobium orchids, and as far as the younger generations know, this herb grows on steep cliffs and cannot be easily found and picked. If the juniors didn't guess wrong, is it possible that the two of them found the dendrobium orchid growing on the cliff wall, and accidentally fell off the cliff when they went to pick it?"

They had searched all the areas of the back mountain last night, but they didn't find even a clue. Now, there is only no search left under the steep cliffs on three sides. He had to come up with this terrible conjecture. Of course, this is the worst-case scenario, and if the sisters have fallen off the cliff, as he expected, then their chances of survival are too slim.

When Xu Feng heard this, his heart was suddenly stunned, and then his eyes widened as if he suddenly realized, and a terrible premonition came out of his mind: Could it be that the sisters have really been buried under the cliff? Last night, I only cared about searching in the valley, but I didn't expect that under the cliffs on three sides.

Xu Feng couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart that he was not thoughtful, why didn't he think of this cliff? Immediately, he waved his hand to gather everyone to him, and said: "I heard Liu Shaoxia just say that we are the only ones under the cliff who have not searched, Liu Shaoxia's conjecture is not unreasonable, we will now go down to the cliff and search carefully." He ordered two long ropes to be found, and fixed one end of the two cables firmly to the trunks of two old trees on the edge of the cliff, and five strong men held the ropes on them, and then the two of them tied ropes around their waists and slid down into the cliff.

The cliff is unusually steep, the cliff wall is full of thorns, looking down, the fog is filled, unfathomable, and everyone can't help but feel timid. Seeing this, Liu Ruyan bowed to Xu Feng and volunteered: "Uncle Xu, why don't you let the younger generation go down to explore! The younger generation grew up in Zhongnan Mountain with the family teacher since childhood, and often climbs and picks with the family teacher, and has some experience in the environment of the mountain cliff, so I implore Uncle to allow the younger generation to go down and find out!"

He looked at Xu Feng eagerly, Xu Feng hesitated slightly, pondered for a long time, frowned and said: "Nephew Liu Xian, this mountain cliff is a hundred zhang deep, the cliff is steep and smooth, if you are not careful, your life will be in danger, if you have something wrong, how should I explain it to the commander?" He couldn't help but have doubts, thinking that Liu Ruyan was a guest, how could he let him take this risk!

Liu Ruyan raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly: "This ...... Uncle can rest assured that if he encounters a critical situation, the juniors have their own way of dealing with it! However, I need to send someone to go down with me, so that if there is an emergency, we can echo each other. ”

Xu Feng frowned, nodded slowly, sighed, and said: "Alas, it has to be like this, Liu Xian's nephew must be careful, in case of danger, he will send a sound arrow to the sky in time to inform him, Xian's nephew remember!"

Then he chose a strong and brave man, with a crossbow bolt tied to his back, and a bag containing food and water, and tied a rope around his waist, and after a careful examination, five strong men slowly released the rope on the edge of the cliff, and the two of them carefully descended slowly from the cliffside.

The morning fog had not completely dissipated in the sun, and the cliffs were still thick with fog, white and white, and visibility was extremely low, so they could only grope their hands and feet and use the exploration to find a fulcrum to step on. Liu Ruyan looked at the strong man who was descending beside him, and said with a smile: "What is the name of this big brother?"

The strong man had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and said with a smile: "My name is Lu Yuanming, and everyone calls me Alu." Liu Shaoxia, you can also call me that. ”

Liu Ruyan said with concern: "Oh, it turned out to be Brother Lu, below here is an abyss, the cliff is damp and smooth, you must be careful." ”

The strong man puffed out a pair of big eyes like copper bells, nodded, and said with a sneer: "Thank you Liu Shaoxia for reminding me, I will be cautious, don't worry!" He suddenly smiled, and a touch of sadness appeared in his eyes: "Usually, the eldest lady is very good to our subordinates, and often carries the old man to give us delicious food, I really don't know how she and the girl Xihua are doing, I hope God will open his eyes and bless them to come back safely." He suddenly remembered that the eldest lady had been kind to him before, and his heart became sad for a while.

Liu Ruyan climbed on the cliff with his hands, moved his steps carefully, and comforted him: "Brother Lu, don't be sad, they have their own natural appearance, and they will be fine." At this moment, he suddenly saw Lu Yuanming's feet slipping, one foot hanging in the air and unable to reach the fulcrum, he was startled at the moment, and shouted loudly: "Brother Lu, be careful of your step!"

Lu Yuanming grabbed the trunk of the tree growing in the rock crevice with both hands, but his feet were slippery and he couldn't step on the solid fulcrum. He could only hold on to the trunk of the tree with both hands, his chest and abdomen against the cliff wall, and he was busy looking down to find a suitable place to stay, while using his arm strength to move his body to maintain balance.

Liu Ruyan saw that he was in danger, so he slapped the rock wall with his left hand, and then let go of his right hand, and with the help of his arm strength, his body slammed outward, and kicked the rock wall under his feet, and the whole person swung towards him, swinging to his side and holding his figure with both hands, helping him move to a small raised rock crack. Seeing that he stabilized his figure, he was relieved.

The ropes above slowly lowered down, and after about half an hour, they had descended to the cliff face. The two reminded each other to be careful, and their eyes looked around, looking for traces of the sisters. While searching, shouting loudly. The empty mountains were silent, and only their shouts could be heard echoing among the cliffs for a long time, but no response could be heard.

After searching between the cliffs for a long time, but still not finding any clues, Liu Ruyan's heart couldn't help but sink a little: "Where are they? What happened to them? Could it be that the two big living people really disappeared out of thin air like this?"

Of course, he is unwilling, he wants to see people in life and corpses in death, whether they are dead or alive, he will find them.

At this time, Xu Feng on the cliff looked at their figures gradually becoming smaller until they disappeared out of sight.

The ropes on the cliff are getting shorter and shorter, and although the rope is already long, it is obviously not enough to measure this unfathomable cliff. Xu Feng saw that the two of them hadn't heard any news for a long time, so he couldn't help but be anxious and paced back and forth on the edge of the cliff. I was worried about the life and death of the sisters, and I was worried about the safety of the two people under the cliff!

He shouted at the two people under the cliff with his profound internal strength and mastery "Lion's Roar": "Nephew Liu Xian, Lu Yuanming, how are you doing down there? Can you find any clues?"

I could only hear his voice on the cliff, like thunder, echoing between the cliff walls, endlessly.

Liu Ruyan and Lu Yuanming heard his shouting, and suddenly their hearts were shocked, and the two of them let out a sigh one after another. It is now twenty feet below the cliff. Do you have any instructions?" As soon as the words came out, it was really like a thunderclap, and waves of echoes echoed between the cliffs, which lasted for a long time.

At this time, half a morning had passed, and the dense fog that shrouded the cliffs had gradually dissipated.

The scenery around the mountain wall became clearer, they had been down for almost two hours, but they still found nothing, except for the bare bare weathered rocks and the weeds and trees that grew in the crevices of the rocks, there was nothing left behind by falling from the height, not even a trace of slippage left by rolling down the cliff.

The scene in front of me did not find anything unusual, the cliffs were eerily quiet, and there was silence all around, as silent as death, with an indescribable strange and desolate aura. It's as if it's a secluded and mysterious place. Occasionally, a fresh breeze blew from the distant mountains, which blew on their bodies and made their minds and thoughts clear.

The people on the cliff stared intently at the bottom of the cliff, anxiously waiting, but as the time passed, no news came from below.

Xu Feng was even more anxious like an ant on a hot pot, pacing back and forth there, and his mood gradually became irritable. Leng Yue and Xihua have been missing for a day and a half now, their whereabouts are unknown, and their lives and deaths are unknown, which is difficult for any father to accept. Daughter Leng Yue was born to him and Shangguan Hongqin when he was forty years old, he was middle-aged and had a daughter, he was naturally ecstatic, he had been doting on her since he was a child, as long as it was something his daughter wanted, he would do everything possible to get it for his daughter. Even if Leng Yue wanted the stars in the sky, he would send someone to pick them off for her.

On top of Leng Yue, he also has a son who is eight years older than Leng Yue, and his son's name is Xu Shiyu. is suave by nature, chic and uninhibited, and he changed his young girlfriend one after another at a young age. Once, when he wandered the rivers and lakes alone, he took a fancy to a newly arrived head card in the "Drunken Fragrance Building" in Qinghe Town, the woman was born with picturesque eyebrows, charming and moving, a cherry mouth red like a burning flame, thin legs and willow waist, graceful and colorful, not only people look wonderful, but also piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, all of them.

The first time I saw the woman, I snatched his soul away. After that, under various pretexts, I went to the "Drunken Fragrance Building" to drink and have fun, saying that it was to listen to the music, but in fact I just wanted to take a look at the delicate beauty. After several conversations, the two gradually became acquainted.

It is said that for this woman, he once had a big fight with a rich boy outside the drunken fragrance building, and finally missed for a while and beat the other party to a cripple. The rich son, in a fit of rage, sued him in court, and in order to avoid prison, he could only hide his name and escape. I don't know where he fled, Xu Feng once sent people to inquire about his whereabouts, but there has been no news so far.

The unsuccessful son completely disappeared from his life, and a few years after Xu Shiyu's crime, he gave birth to a daughter Xu Lengyue with Shangguan Hongqin.

The arrival of their daughter gradually freed them and their husband and wife from their longing and resentment towards their unsuccessful son. The daughter's smart and clever knowledge of cold and heat also gave them the comfort of their hearts. It's just that after so many years, they have never given up inquiring about Xu Shiyu's whereabouts.

Someone once saw his figure appear in the southwest border, so he sent someone to chase him over and inquire, and went to report it, but said that he had recognized the wrong person. Now it is not even known whether he is dead or alive. And now, her daughter Xu Lengyue, like her brother who has never met, disappeared suddenly and inexplicably, as if she had evaporated from the world, without any clues.

I don't want to think that now, his daughter is the same as his son who was lost many years ago, and when he thinks of this, he can't help but feel sad and crying. He raised his head to the sky and exclaimed in sorrow: "What kind of sin did I Xu Feng do, God, why did you punish me so cruelly? Do you really want me to cut off my children and grandchildren? Why? Why is all this?" The mournful cry resounded among the rolling peaks......

Time passed minute by minute, and the horse steward and Cuilian who searched in the butterfly garden did not find any trace of the sisters, just when everyone was depressed and disheartened, suddenly, a family member launched an arrow in the depths of a forest leading to the hinterland of the valley in the butterfly garden, and the arrow whistled in the air "Bang Bang", everyone followed the reputation, only to see him climbing on the trunk of the tree waving his arms to everyone, shouting loudly: "Everyone come and see, I found a woman's handkerchief here, come here!"

He kept waving the colorful signal flag in his hand, and when everyone saw this, they couldn't help but be stunned, and then they were overjoyed, presumably he had found some clue in the dense bushes! Everyone ran towards the place where he fired the arrow, and the horse steward and Cuilian bore the brunt and came to him, and the family Ding hurriedly greeted him, bowed to the horse steward, and said eagerly: "Tell the horse steward, the little one found a fan-colored handkerchief in the woods in front of him." ”

He took the handkerchief out of his pocket and handed it to the steward with both hands. Steward Ma looked at it, his eyes couldn't help but shine, his brows furrowed, his eyes flashed, the hand holding the handkerchief trembled with excitement, and suddenly shouted: "Ah, Miss, Miss, this handkerchief was given to Miss by Mrs. Shangguan on Miss last year's birthday." ”

He immediately shouted into the woods, "Miss...... Miss...... Where are you? Miss Leng Yue, where are you? Are you there?"

Cuilian and the others shouted along, looking around the woods as they shouted. In the lush jungle, Cuilian searched all the way to the depths of the dense forest along the place where the handkerchief was found, and ten meters away from the place where the handkerchief was found, she suddenly found a remote path leading from here to the hinterland of the mountain wall on the edge of the butterfly garden. The trail is hidden in deep weeds and is difficult to spot without looking closely. The trail left a long trail of disorganized footprints that stretched forward to the heart of the mountain wall.

Cuilian hurriedly shouted: "Come and see, there are many footprints here." Steward Ma and everyone gathered over when they heard the voice, and everyone was talking about it, speculating that this was the footprints left by Miss Leng Yue and Miss Xihua. Everyone suddenly perked up, and as they were talking, they immediately sent someone to tell Master Xu in the Valley of Forgotten Worries.

At this moment, Xu Feng rode over on a horse, it turned out that he had just heard the sound of arrows rising above the butterfly garden, and knew that there was a new discovery on the horse steward's side, so he hurriedly turned over and galloped over quickly.

As soon as he came closer, he asked eagerly, "Steward Ma, but what have you discovered?" He looked at Steward Ma with bright eyes.

Steward Ma hurriedly bowed, took out the pink handkerchief he found and presented it to Xu Feng with both hands, and frowned: "Master, this is the handkerchief that Wang Shun found in the grass, master, take a closer look, isn't this handkerchief the one that Mrs. Shangguan gave to the eldest lady as a birthday gift last year?" he said excitedly, the expression on his face changed, and he didn't know whether he was happy or worried.

Xu Feng took the handkerchief seriously, his lips trembled slightly, and his face showed a surprised expression. At this time, Cuilian on the side spoke: "Master, the slave maid also found many footprints in the grass over there just now, and they were heading towards the opposite side of the mountain wall. ”

When Xu Feng heard this, he raised his eyebrows, and hurriedly said to everyone: "Let's go, take me to have a look." They followed through a dense overgrown, and deep in the grass was a small pond with shallow water and surrounded by reeds as high as the height of the people. The footprints that Cuilian found were in the grass by the pond. It is located on the border of the butterfly garden, which is usually inaccessible and desolate.

Once the whistle of the Hongqin House patrolling the mountains found that there were thieves here. The two sentinels patrolling the mountain chased the thieves for several miles in a row, and when they were halfway through, they didn't see anyone in an instant, but they still let him run away. Later, Xu Feng ordered a ring of high fences around the boundary of the butterfly garden, and buried some hidden weapons in the grass next to the fence to prevent thieves from encroaching on the periphery.

Xu Feng immediately sent someone to rush to the side of the Forgotten Worry Valley, and asked Liu Ruyan, Lu Yuanming and the others to hurry over here. Xu Feng followed behind Cuilian, and Steward Ma also led a group of people to follow, along the path by the pond, to the place where the footprints were found.

The series of footprints obviously did not go from the road they were walking on now, Xu Feng looked at the long footprints that stretched all the way to the opposite mountain wall, and observed carefully, this footprint was not wide, nor too deep, it did not look like the footprints of an adult man, nor did it look like a child's, according to the size and depth of the footprints, it should be left by a young girl.

He suddenly had an idea, and asked Cuilian to put her foot on the footprint to see if it could fit. Cuilian lifted her foot and tried it, and it really closed. Cui Lian has just turned 18 years old this year, Miss Leng Yue is 17 years old, and Miss Xihua is 16 years old, all three of them are the same age. Since they are of the same age, the size of the soles of the feet is not much different, so after such an analysis, there is no doubt that the series of footprints must have been left by the Leng Yue and Xihua sisters.

Xu Feng and the others immediately followed the footprints quickly to the opposite mountain wall, and when the footprints reached the front of the mountain wall, they turned left and returned to the grass on the other side.

Seeing this situation, everyone was stunned, this mountain wall was obviously not the end of the footprints. Just as he was about to continue to return to the grass to track the past, suddenly, he heard a neighing of horses in the distance, and everyone looked up, but saw that Liu Ruyan and Lu Yuanming had already rushed over on horseback, followed by more than a dozen people.

Liu Ruyan and Lu Yuanming came to the front, turned over and went down the mountain, hugged their fists to Xu Feng and Steward Ma and the others, and asked eagerly, "Uncle, have you found any traces of the two of them?"

Xu Feng nodded and said, "Yes, I just found Leng Yue's handkerchief in the grass over there, and I found their footprints here, depending on the situation, they may be around here." ”

Liu Ruyan's heart sank, his sword eyebrows frowned slightly, and he said eagerly: "In this way, they must have disappeared around here." Without further ado, let's follow the footprints. ”

With that, the crowd searched the footprints from among the mountain walls. Liu Ruyan secretly said in her heart: "Miss Leng Yue and Sister Hua, you must be good." ”

The footprints stretched to the col a mile away, and when they came closer, they saw that the footprints had turned a corner from the col and entered a trail beside a canyon, where the mountain was very hidden. This trail leads to the cliff in front and is a descending road from the back mountain. Xu Feng and Liu Ruyan glanced at each other, and they both had doubts in their hearts: "Did they go down the mountain from this road?"

When everyone saw this remote path, their hearts were shocked.

Xu Feng said suddenly: "This is a road leading from the back mountain to the bottom of the mountain, the location here is remote, uninhabited, and the terrain is dangerous, it stands to reason that it is impossible for them to find here." He turned to Liu Ruyan and said, "Nephew Liu Xian, why don't you follow your uncle to investigate?"

He then said to everyone: "The road here is narrow and very steep, everyone wait here first, and Liu Xian's nephew and I will go to investigate." ”

Liu Ruyan said yes, he was impatient for a long time.

Steward Ma said with a suspicious face: "The road here is narrow, and there is a deep stream next to it, so the eldest brother and Liu Xian's nephew must be careful." ”

Liu Ruyan hugged his fist at the steward Ma, and said, "Thank you steward Ma for reminding you, don't worry." ”

With that, the two turned and walked down the path. The trail passed through the depression at the col, turning sharply, winding between two huge rocks, Xu Feng walked cautiously in front, looking around as he went, and said to Liu Ruyan: "Virtuous nephew, do you think the two of them will enter here?" he continued, "This is already a very remote place, I have lived on Mingyue Peak for more than twenty years, but I have not come here. ”

Liu Ruyan said faintly: "The juniors really can't figure it out, how could they find such a dangerous place." However, from the footprints found outside, it is speculated that they may be trapped inside. He sighed, "Maybe they're in some danger!"

The two of them cautiously stepped between the gaps between the two boulders and entered deeper areas. While looking around, while shouting the name of the sisterhood, he walked for a while, and came to several ancient trees with thick branches, which seemed to require three people to hug, and must have grown for at least hundreds of years, behind the ancient trees was a lush vegetation, hiding a huge sunken rock wall.

Suddenly, the air was filled with a faint fragrance, the aroma was strong and fragrant, refreshing. Xu Feng couldn't help but be stunned, and said to Liu Ruyan suspiciously: "Can the virtuous nephew smell a wisp of fragrance?" His face changed suddenly, and he looked at Liu Ruyan vigilantly.

Liu Ruyan also became alert, and said slowly: "Uncle, the juniors did smell it. He frowned, pondered for a long time, and suddenly realized, his eyes lit up: "Yes, don't hide it from Uncle, when the junior came up from the front mountain yesterday, when he passed by the mouth of a cave, he also smelled such a wisp of fragrance!"

Xu Feng hurriedly said, "Oh, there is such a thing, where did the virtuous nephew see the cave?"

Liu Ruyan groaned: "The junior passed a chain bridge in the middle of the mountain yesterday, and after coming from that bridge, he walked a little further and found it on a mountain wall about two miles away from the top of Mingyue Peak. The look of astonishment on his face was even greater.

He continued: "The younger generation saw that there was a thick white fog at the entrance of the cave, and the three words of the Patriarch's Cave were written on the top of the cave entrance, and on both sides of the cave entrance were written the forbidden land of the Patriarch, and the trespasser died with two lines of red words. He paused and said, "The junior was curious, but when he walked to the entrance of the cave and looked at it, he didn't want to, as soon as he walked to the entrance of the cave, he smelled a rich fragrance, which was exactly the same as here." ”

After hearing this, Xu Feng lost his voice and said, "Ah, there is such a thing? If you continue, what else do you see?"

Liu Ruyan said quietly: "Seeing that there is a strangeness inside, the younger generation walked into the cave vigilantly, the cave is unfathomable, but it is empty, except for some collapsed gravel, and a layer of shallow water stains, there is nothing." He looked at Xu Feng suspiciously, "I just don't know where this fragrance comes from?"

Xu Feng frowned tightly and said in a deep voice: "How can there be an inexplicable aroma in this barren mountain and wilderness? He said thoughtfully, "Could it be that Leng Yue and Xihua came here by mistake, smelled this fragrance, became curious, and followed the fragrance to find the dense forest?"

Liu Ruyan frowned, and hurriedly said, "Then why don't we go in and have a look?"

The two of them cautiously pushed aside the dense bushes, and suddenly found that there were several cracks in the rock wall behind the leaves, and the cracks looked like a door frame. The two glanced at each other, and couldn't help but be shocked, Liu Ruyan said, "Uncle, look, this seems to be a door?"

Xu Feng was surprised: "Yes, this is a stone gate." ”

The two of them held the internal force in their palms, snorted in their mouths, and slammed them towards the stone gate together. Suddenly heard a loud sound of "boom", the stone gate was shaken by the palm force to the stone fell off, splashed in all directions, and then the two of them each issued another palm, only to hear the stone door make a "click" sound, in the four palms of the fierce pinch, the stone gate finally fell apart, collapsed.

A black stone cave immediately appeared in front of them, and the sight made both of them shocked: there is actually a stone cave here! This situation is really incredible.

The two of them were surprised and inexplicable, and then calmed down.

Liu Ruyan pondered and said slowly: "Uncle, this fragrance is definitely wafting from the stone cave. Could this stone cave be the patriarch's cave that the younger generation saw in the middle of the mountain?"

Xu Feng's eyes flashed, looked at Liu Ruyan and said, "Oh, yes, you just said that the Ancestor Cave you saw in the middle of the mountain also has such a fragrance, it must be the same cave." Let's go in and have a look, maybe Leng Yue and Xihua are in the cave. ”

With that, the two slowly walked into the hole. Seeing that the cave was spacious and dark, they felt the folds of fire on their bodies and lit them, and slowly groped their way into it by the faint light of the fire. There is a small amount of fallen gravel in the cave, which is unusually cold and damp. The two then shouted the sisters' names for a long time, but no one responded.

Liu Ruyan raised the fire fold and said vigilantly: "Uncle, be careful of your step. It's hidden and weird, and the younger generation really can't figure out where this fragrance comes from. We need to be careful. ”

Xu Feng illuminated the cave wall with a fold of fire, nodded, and said, "Yes, there must be some secret hidden here." He pondered and said, "You say, will the two of them be in this cave?

Liu Ruyan sighed and said quietly: "Yes, the juniors are also very puzzled. All these doubts may only be solved by finding them. Uncle, let's go in and see what's going on here. ”

The two walked and walked, and suddenly, Liu Ruyan let out an exclamation, he tripped over something under his feet, and took a closer look with the fire folds, which immediately startled him, only to see that what he stepped on was a white skull, and he immediately lost his voice and said: "Uncle, look, there is a dead man's skull here." There was a look of trepidation on his face.

Xu Feng took a closer look, and sure enough, it was a skull.

He looked around with the fire fold and said slowly, "There must be something else in here." Let's go!"
