Chapter 32: Escape through the Secret Passage

The secret passage winds and turns, spiraling down diagonally, the road surface is steep, Lan Yue walked forward with a torch in his hand, and walked for a while, it is estimated that after reaching a depth of more than ten zhang underground, the space is wider, and the road no longer goes deeper, but goes parallel forward. It's just that there are water droplets oozing from the top and walls, and Blue Moon guesses that the tunnel is here through the bottom of the lake.

After walking for a while, there was a loud "boom" sound in the distance behind him, and then the entire secret passage seemed to shake with it, as if it was about to collapse, Lan Yue was startled, thinking that if he was buried here, it would really be a shame every day. The ground was ineffective, and he quickly ran forward for a while, and the sound of collapse behind slowly stopped, and when he looked back, it was dark, and he couldn't see anything, and after thinking about it, he immediately understood the reason, Liu Ji in order to protect his absolute safety, he actually let himself manipulate the mechanism and completely block the road, although he didn't understand why Liu Ji loved himself so much for only one side, but he was really full of gratitude, and he actually had some guilt in his heart, regretting that he had hidden it when he talked about Xu Moran at that time, and he didn't treat him honestly. At the same time, thinking of the poison in his body, he wondered that he had no grudge against Zhu Bai, even if he was a prisoner, why did he secretly do this to himself?

While thinking wildly, his footsteps did not stop, and after a while, he came to the first fork in the road that Liu Ji said, and couldn't help but stop, sure enough, there was a passage to the left and right, Lan Yue had absolute trust in Liu Ji in his heart at the moment, but he still couldn't help but think, if he was uneasy about what Liu Ji said and went to take another road, what would he meet? Where to go? Just when he was thinking about it, he remembered another voice in his heart, and said to himself coldly: "At this moment, the future is unpredictable, there are chasing soldiers behind, and you are highly poisoned, so you still have the leisure to think about some boring things?" With a wry smile, he collected his mood and walked forward.

When you encounter a fork in the road again, you don't stop but turn in the direction Liu Ji said. After turning the third fork in the road, the terrain gradually increased, and Blue Moon understood that she had now stepped out of the bottom of the lake and walked towards the surface. Immediately lift your spirits and speed up your pace.

After walking a short distance, I found that there seemed to be light coming from the distance, and the ground had changed from the earth surface to stone steps at some point, and it was getting steeper and steeper, and the surrounding walls were also stone walls, and Lan Yue judged that it should be drilled into the cave from the ground.

At this time, the light became stronger and stronger, and at the same time, the sound of running water hitting stones gradually came to my ears. Blue Moon knew that the exit was not far away, and it was just ahead, and she was busy climbing hard.

Finally, the sound of the water became louder and louder, and the eyes were bright and white, and Lan Yue hurriedly extinguished the torch, put it in a corner, and stared at it, it turned out that there was a waterfall outside the cave mouth flowing from top to bottom, just like a curtain blocking the entrance of the cave, and outsiders could not easily detect it. Blue Moon stood at the entrance of the cave, took a big breath of fresh air, suddenly felt refreshed and comfortable, and all his worries were temporarily put aside.

After resting for a while, Lan Yue carefully observed the entrance of the cave, and found that the original cave entrance was between a cliff, the two sides of the cave were flat and smooth, and almost perpendicular to the ground, and it was impossible to settle down at all.

Thinking about it again, this hole is both an exit and an import, so how did it come in the first place? Presumably there must be a hidden mechanism, carefully watched, found that both sides of the cave entrance were covered by grass and vines, my heart moved, I hurriedly stretched out my hand to grope, sure enough, there was an arm-thick iron cable hidden on the right side, and a deep groove was secretly dug on the stone wall, and the iron cable was placed in the middle of it and the stone wall was level, and then there was grass and vine covering, and it could not be found at all.

With this discovery, Lan Yue was also excited, and at the same time, she admired Liu Ji so much that she threw herself to the ground, and then thought that she disappeared from the island out of thin air, and the pursuers would be able to guess that there was a secret passage on the island. Liu Ji turned himself off, causing the cave entrance to collapse and seal, giving people the illusion that the secret passage had been destroyed, of course, this move was to protect himself from being caught up by the pursuers, but more importantly, in order to protect the entrances or exits of the secret passage, other exits could still come and go through this secret passage. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but be full of strong curiosity about this secret passage, but I thought that I was highly poisonous, so when I found Xu Moran first, I picked up my mood, held the iron rope, and climbed up.

The blue moon climbs to the top of the cliff, looks westward, it is the twilight time at this time, the birds fly back to the forest in the distance, the water and the sky are the same color, and a remnant sun slowly sinks into the river, it is the scenery of "the mountain reflects the slanting sun and the sky receives the water, the grass is ruthless, and it is more outside the slanting sun". Blue Moon stood for a long time, and she was stupid. As early as the top of the mountain, there seemed to be a house in the woods not far away, and after seeing the terrain, the blue moon went straight away, hoping to spend the night there, and then go out of the mountain tomorrow.

When you look at the house from the mountain, it doesn't feel very far, but walking through it step by step is not at all, and the mountain road is bumpy, or even impossible, so it is very slow. Fortunately, there were no clouds that night, and the bright moon was at the head, so Blue Moon was able to move forward with the memory route in her mind.

After walking like this for an hour and a half, the house was not far away, but it turned out to be a dilapidated old temple, and at this moment there was a faint fire light from it, and the blue moon slowed down, and when it was closer, a burst of barbecued meat wafted out, and there seemed to be a woman's laughter coming from it.

Blue Moon paused and listened. Suddenly, the laughter stopped, but another man said aloud: "How can you be happy when your guests are here?"

Lan Yue saw that he was being seen through the hiding, so he simply patted his sleeves, tidied up his clothes, and walked in proudly.

In the middle of the main hall, a bonfire is burning, the fire is roasting fragrant game, from time to time there is grease dripping from the fire from above, making a "bang" sound, a man and a woman sitting side by side of the fire, seeing the blue moon come in, they all stand up.

The man was about 20 years old, with broad shoulders and a thick back, a majestic figure, a red scarf on his head, a square face in Chinese characters, eyes like electricity, and a sense of hope. Carrying a scimitar. The woman was seventeen or eighteen years old, with a beautiful appearance, a well-proportioned figure, a long whip around her waist, and a short sword on her side. Both wore Mongolian costumes.

Lan Yue walked into the main hall and appeared in front of them, the two of them were also slightly surprised, and secretly surprised in their hearts, in this night in the barren mountains and mountains, in a rare place, there was a handsome young man with a noble temperament, and the clothes he was wearing were so incompatible with this place, but his demeanor was so peaceful, as if his noble son was strolling in his own garden.

The man hugged his fist at Lan Yue, and said loudly: "In the lower red wolf Meng Lichi, this is in the lower junior sister Silver Fox Ye Mei, dare to ask Your Excellency's surname?

Lan Yue first saluted the other party with Mongolian etiquette, and then said unhurriedly: "If you meet and have a fate, why ask your name?
