Dead vines, old trees, faint crows.

This is the truest portrayal of the outside of the Dry Vine Cave.

Above the withered vine cave is a towering ancient tree, a big banyan tree, but the word "towering" is only a big tree within the scope of common sense, but it is not like the peach fairy tree that stands in the sky and the earth like Jiangning County.

The reason why it is called an ancient tree is only because of its appearance, it is obvious that it has gone through the baptism of wind and rain, and the years have passed, and it is about a thousand years old.

The tree is not leafy, but gloomy, withered.

As the saying goes, the east is not bright and the west is bright, and the ancient trees are depressed on the ground, but under the ground, they are intertwined and the root system is flourishing.

The Dry Vine Cave is an underground cave formed by various creatures or human beings digging deep around the underground root system of ancient trees for thousands of years.

People have seen bears, wolves, tigers and leopards, snakes, rats, insects and ants, herbs and calamus, oleanders and poinsettias, etc., in the dead vine cave or near the ancient trees.

Although most of the people on Buji Island have been in the interior of Zhongzhou for many years, it is too difficult for them to say that they are fully aware of the details of various places, and if this is the case, Lan Sheng and others will not have yet found the root cause of cholera outside Zhongzhou, but the people of Buji Island are not stupid, and they quickly figured out the doorway to inquire about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and there are not many people in the rivers and lakes who know that there is a hole in this withered vine cave, and Bao Da must be one of them, as long as you want to know, pay the corresponding reward, there is no news that you can't get from him.

Naturally, the people of Buji Island also asked Bao to ask what the root cause of cholera was in Zhongzhou, but Bao asked about the price offered, and they obviously couldn't afford to pay it for the time being, so they could only retreat and ask Bao Da where to start to find out the truth, and the answer Bao Da asked them was a painting, which showed a crow and an old tree, however, the scene in the painting is not uncommon in Zhongzhou, and there are no more details on the painting to be screened, and Bao Da will certainly not tell them more.

With a lot of questions and a little speculation, the people of Buji Island focused their detection on the areas where large-scale casualties and vicious battles had taken place in recent years, and the famous ancient sects that had gradually retreated to the mountains and forests.

Due to his daily activities in Xijiang County, Buji Island also used twenty red wolf skins to inquire about it in exchange for a lot of key information about the Tushi Gang and the Nether Sect, and the location of the Tushi Gang's lair was also in these information.

Ordinary people will think that the nest of the Tushi Gang is in the Posa Hall on the Zibodhi Mountain in Xijiang County, but they don't know that in the Hejia Valley behind the Zibodhi Mountain, there is another place in the well-known Withered Teng Cave in Xijiang County, and the Withered Teng Cave and then go down and deeper, which is the real heart of the Tushi Gang.

Most of the characters at the core level of the Tushi Gang come from the dense forests of the Yunze Realm, and the humid and hot climate environment in the depths of the Withered Teng Cave is also close to it, and the Po Sa Hall is set up on the Zibodhi Mountain to let the whole gang have a big façade, and the establishment of another heaven and earth in the Withered Teng Cave is to continue the living habits and ensure the necessary environment for cultivating the exercises, and at the same time, it is also conducive to raising the insects, snakes, spiders, and scorpions brought from the Yunze Realm.

............

In the night, three figures appeared in the already sparsely populated palace.

The three of them were all dressed in masked night clothes, and it was vaguely visible from their figures that they were two men and one woman, and then a closer look at the weapons used by each of them, they were two swords and a dagger.

The identities of these three people are Jiang Yichen, Red Leaves and Eggs.

Red Leaves and Jiang Yichen came here to save people, and Buji Island is to take the Tushi Gang as a breakthrough to find out more information related to the general trend of Zhongzhou, in terms of purpose, the two do not conflict, therefore, it is not surprising that eggs will appear here, not to mention that the Buji Island side took the lead in finding Red Leaves and Jiang Yichen, Lan Sheng, Shu Tong, Mei Huaijin The three of them are not strong in martial arts, and can only strategize, and it is too dangerous for eggs to go behind enemy lines alone, information sharing and risk sharing are the basis of this cooperation between the two sides.

Soon after the smiling Maitreya returned, he left in a hurry, and at the same time took away the strongest combat power in the Tushi Gang at present, the great protector Chang Kun.

While Xie Fei followed the two of them, he also passed the signal to his brothers, so that they could act on the opportunity.

In this way, the gang leader, the great protector and many main forces of the Tushi Gang all went to Pinghai County, and the guards in the Po Sa Hall were weak for a while, which also made Jiang Yichen and the three of them drive straight in, and they had already come to the fourth floor of the Po Sa Hall without disturbing half of them.

Purple Bodhi Mountain is a thousand high mountains, and this Po Sa Hall dwells in the mountainside of the strange position, leaning on the mountain and built, or it can be said that the whole building is completely integrated on the mountain stone cliff, like a tower shape from the bottom to the top gradually shrinks, the bottom of the hall is about a hundred zhang square, a total of ten floors, if you put aside this is the area of the evil sect and the demon sect, do not attract people to see, just talk about the grandeur of this building, call it decay into magic, the creation of heaven and earth is not an exaggeration.

"This palace is no worse than the inner courtyard of the palace, if it is in broad daylight, you will be blinded by the dazzling golden light and magnificent decoration here. It was the first time he had seen this scene, and his eyes were particularly bright in the dark.

"You've been to the inner courtyard of the palace?" Momiji questioned coldly.

"Uh, imaginary, imaginary, I think that the Zixuan Hall of Gusu should be similar to the style of the inner courtyard of the palace, it is all the affairs of the official family. The egg was embarrassed for a moment, and then found an excuse.

"If it is reasonable to say that the imperial court has such the ability to build a palace in this majestic mountain, but it is the Tushi Gang who is upright and everyone shouts and beats in the rivers and lakes, it is too unbelievable, and I am becoming more and more curious about where the Tushi Gang came from. Jiang Yichen was also amazed by the scene he saw.

"Maybe the answer lies in the dry vine hole, alas, after coming to the southwest region, I burrowed into the ground all day long, and if I couldn't reach out and see five fingers, I would almost think that I would have become a gopher. The egg complained.

Momiji sneered, amused by the eggs, but fortunately there was no one in the fourth floor, and the laughter of the three of them was kept low, so as not to alarm the enemy.

"The temple of the ten evils refers to the temple of the ten evils, which is divided into ten layers: killing, stealing, fornication, lies, gossip, evil mouth, two tongues, greed, anger, and stupidity, and the smiling Maitreya's sleeping room is on the ninth floor of the hall of hatred, and Bao inquired about the hint that the entrance to the withered vine cave is a tiger, and the tiger should be bluffing, referring to the fourth layer where we are, the hall of vain, and look around here, where is the entrance. The egg took out the portrait in his arms, recalling the smile that Lan Sheng had when he handed it to him, and he couldn't help but hate it.

In the portrait, Bao inquire's painting style is still so rough and not vivid, but Jiang Yichen and Hongye can clearly distinguish that the animals in the painting are indeed the king of the mountain.

In addition to being empty, the hall of vain is almost empty, and the only things in the hall are the floor tiles, columns, beams, vaults, windows, doors, and frescoes on the walls.

Although all the bricks in the hall are three feet square, the number of bricks on the whole floor is also quite a lot, so after a little thought, the egg gave up this tiring hard work, went directly to the wall, and identified the contents of the mural one by one according to the tiger portrait in his hand.

"Lies are falsehoods, lies and falsehoods, this withered vine cave is an inconspicuous cave on the surface, but in fact there is another cave, such a trick is a lie, therefore, this entrance is reasonable in the hall of lies, so what seems to be in this hall, but is hidden strange?" Momiji did not take direct action like an egg, searching the floor tiles or murals, but paced and muttered to himself, thinking about the puzzle of the fourth floor hall.

"If this withered vine cave is a place where the Tushi gang often enter and exit, then this entrance should not be in a place that is out of reach, and the entrance mechanism should be within reach, as far as the hall of delusion is concerned, the entrance to the withered vine cave can only be there. Jiang Yichen looked around according to what the red leaves said, and locked his gaze on the pillar that was the thickest in the entire floor of the hall and happened to be in the center of the hall.

"Pillar?" Following Jiang Yichen's gaze, Hongye was puzzled.
