Chapter 153: Spring in the Grotto
Shen Chaixing walked east for a while, and when he looked up, it seemed that there was still a row of buildings on the hillside in front of him, but because of the location where Shen Chaixing lived, he couldn't see it.
Because the sky was too dark and the moonlight was unknown, Shen Chaixing could only remember the location where the black shadow flashed just now, and he was busy gathering his eyes, and then he vaguely saw a path on the ground, so he walked along the path.
After walking for a while, I turned a corner, and a stone staircase about five or six feet wide appeared under my feet, leading to the top of the mountain. Shen Chaixing looked left and right, and saw that there was no way out, if he wanted to pursue the black shadow, he could only go up the steps.
Shen Chaixing looked back, the camp where everyone was resting was already in the distance, the wind lamp swaying in the night wind in front of the camp tent emitted a pale yellow light, making people feel warm and comfortable, as if beckoning Shen Chaixing to return to the camp tent quickly, and sleep well, in the mountains and fields at night, it was normal for a dark shadow to occasionally appear, maybe a big bird flew by, maybe a hungry beast secretly foraged for food in the middle of the night. The tired body kept reminding Shen Chaixing that it was the most correct choice to return to the camp and continue to sleep. But the restless, inquisitive mind pushed his feet to keep moving.
After another bend, there were no stone steps, only a pile of wild grass. A cliff appeared in front of it blocking the road. There is nothing else, and no one is seen.
Shen Chaixing was unconvinced and walked two steps to the east, only to find that this place was already a cliff, just because it was dark and he didn't find it, thinking that it was no wonder that when he was a child in his hometown, Daddy often said that he should not walk the mountain road in the middle of the night.
Because he got up in the middle of the night and didn't bring a fire fold with him, Shen Chaixing stuck to the stone wall, watched closely, except for the stone wall, cliffs, and deep valleys, there was nothing else around, it seemed that he was too sensitive, thinking of this, Shen Chaixing wanted to return. But at this moment, the row of fallen grasses in front of him attracted Shen Chaixing's attention, and these fallen grasses were not inside, but leaned against the edge of the cliff.
Shen Chaixing suddenly became curious, rubbed his hand on the stone wall to the edge of the cliff, and stuck his head out of the cliff, only to find that on the side of the stone, on the cliff, there was actually a narrow plank road.
It's just that these plank roads are extremely simple, every other zhang away there are some wooden sticks about three feet long inserted into the stone wall to fix, and then to the horizontal sticks are tied to two logs more than one zhang long, and there are no wooden planks, and there are no handrails on the side, it looks extremely scary, obviously this plank road is not used by most people, because the timid, obese, and those who are not good at light work can not pass, especially in this dark night.
Such a dangerous and hidden plank road aroused Shen Chaixing's strong interest, curiosity overcame the tiredness of the body, Shen Chaixing lifted his spirits, mentioned light work, and walked forward lightly. The mountain wind here is stronger than elsewhere, blowing Shen Chasing the stars swaying. After walking for a distance of about ten zhang, the plank road turned in, and Shen Chaixing also turned in with the plank road, and saw that there was an open space not far in front of him, so he hurriedly stepped forward.
Just when he was about a zhang away from the flat ground opposite, Shen Chaixing's left foot landed, his right foot was just pointed, and he hadn't exerted his strength yet, he felt frivolous under his feet, and slowly withdrew his right foot, standing side by side with his feet in place, squatting down to watch: there was no problem with the log on the left side near the stone wall, and a log on the right should be tightly fixed below to leave it empty, if he accidentally stepped on it just now, it was very likely to fall into the abyss, and he hurriedly wanted to find a way to fix this wood, but found that there was a rope hanging on the side. It suddenly dawned on me that someone had deliberately relaxed this piece of wood to prevent someone from secretly following him in the dark, and he thought to himself: "This trick is also smart, simple and practical, but it's too vicious!"
Shen Chaixing stepped on another log with both feet at the same time, held on to the stone wall, and gently walked across the last plank road to a sloping land. This place seems to be different from other places, with many large stone caves, which are connected by simple roads, and are obviously man-made. Shen Chaixing stroked it with his hand and found that these man-made nicks seemed to be very old, and they were not made by people in the cottage.
Shen Chaixing groped his way into a cave, only to see that the stone cave was wide, there were holes in the hole, but it was pitch black, and he was busy gathering his eyes and walking a little, but he couldn't see anything, thinking that tonight's expedition would end here, otherwise he would get lost, knock on the stone wall and shout for help, and then be saved by the characters he was following, that would be a joke! Although he saw it as a joke in his heart, he was a little scared. Busy supporting the stone wall, relying on memory, the direction of the coming and going slowly retreated. When I touched it, I felt that there were many stone carvings, but there was no light and I couldn't see it. I guessed in my heart: "These stone lines are a bit like some kind of writing, what can be written?—— this is a forbidden place, no idlers can enter? Or please go three feet to the left, there is good fruit to eat, or someone will visit this place?"
After thinking about it, the fear gradually dissipated, and he actually returned to the same place, and suddenly felt comfortable, and secretly thought: It turns out that the thing that people are most afraid of is darkness and loneliness. Just as he was about to go back, a chuckle suddenly came from the ear chakra, which seemed to be both far and near, and after a little thought, he suddenly understood that this sound came from a hole inside, and thought that he was not wrong, and it seemed that he was not wrong, and someone did come here in the middle of the night, and he was busy pricking up his ears to listen, but he could not hear any sound again, and concluded that it should be an accidental sound from the wind, and he wanted to go back to the cave to find it. Looking at the black cave, I couldn't muster up the courage, and I thought that the next time I got up in the middle of the night, I must remember to bring the fire fold.
At this time, a breeze blew, and two fireflies flew through the grass, it was early autumn, but there were still a few fireflies lurking in the grass. Shen Chaixing's heart moved, he stepped forward gently, stretched forward his left palm, and an internal force came out, sucking the two fireflies in his palm.
The two little insects fluttered their wings and wanted to fly, but they couldn't fly out, struggled a few times, and saw that their efforts were in vain, so they were at peace with the encounter. Shen Chaixing said softly: "Be good, obedient, after showing me the way, I will let you go again." With the "bright lantern" in his palm, he walked proudly towards the cave.
This time into the cave, there is a faint light illumination, although the brightness is limited, but Shen Chasing Xinggong gathered his eyes and was able to see the surrounding scene clearly.
After walking through a passage that looks like a long corridor, Shen Chaixing came to a big hole, this hole is quite spacious, it can accommodate hundreds of people visually, the stone wall is carved with patterns or words that Shen Chaixing can't understand, and there are many animal patterns and human face patterns, which is very interesting. There seems to be a high platform made of stones in the middle, which has a strange appearance.
There seemed to be caves on both sides of the high platform, Shen Chaixing was "in a dilemma", he didn't know which cave to choose to enter, he was busy gathering his ears, listening carefully, although he didn't hear any sound, but there were some unexpected gains, the tip of his nose smelled a faint fragrance, like an orchid and a musk, and he thought to himself, could someone be caught in the flowers and plants here? Suddenly I remembered that the same similar smell would sometimes be smelled around Linglong'er and Ouyang Qianqian, and I thought, it wouldn't be the two of them sneaking here in the middle of the night, right? Under the light of the lantern, go deeper.
Further on, there are still many criss-crossing roads and caves, but Shen Chasing Xinggong gathered his nose to see the "Yingxiang Acupoint", and suddenly the nose's sense of smell was extremely sensitive, and it seemed that the smell became stronger. Shen Chaixing thought to himself, this tracking method is very practical, but it is also easy to be restricted, for example, if the other party has some unpleasant smells such as fox odor, this method cannot be used, otherwise the person will not catch up, and he will be smoked to death first.
After walking a little further, there were already human voices and chuckles in my ears, and there seemed to be the voices of two people. Shen Chaixing was busy lifting his breath and walking slowly, and at the same time, he closed his pores with luck, for fear that he would be smelled by the other party.
A stone chamber appeared in front of it, and unlike that, this stone chamber had a stone door, and it was tightly closed, and the sound came from inside. Shen Chaixing couldn't help but think of the experience of himself and Lan Yue opening the stone room in King Wu's treasure, and suddenly aroused his thoughts about Lan Yue.
It is clear that the stone door is tied from the inside and can only be opened from the inside, but fortunately the stone chamber is equipped with ventilation holes, although not large, but enough to see everything inside.
Shen Chaixing was lying on the air vent and secretly looked inside, only to see that there were four or five red candles lit inside, illuminating the surroundings in detail. The stone house is oddly furnished, with two sarcophagi placed side by side on the west side, and a square stone platform in the middle with some fruit and a few jars of wine placed on it. On the right is a huge stone bed, the hard stone bed is covered with soft futon bedding in bright colors, which contrasts with the gray-black color of the stone.
A person reclining on the bed, wearing a light and soft gauze dress, with delicate curves, a pink bandeau set off the originally towering mountain peaks more eye-catching, the corners of the mouth that were originally slightly sad seem to be smiling at the moment, and the slightly pale face makes the bright red lips look like a dewy rose, delicate and gorgeous. The other person who sat on the edge of the bed and spoke to her was dressed in men's clothes, apparently having just arrived. Obviously, this person is the black shadow that Shen Chaixing saw.
Shen Chaixing would definitely not be surprised if he saw these two people alone, but he was still a little surprised to see the two together, because one of these two people was the flying leopard general Li Wuru, and the other should be Tang Xiqi in Shajiabao at the moment.
I only heard Li ruthlessly say: "Why can't you poison the food? That's the easiest way." ”
Tang Xixi said: "If it is someone else, this trick is feasible, but to deal with Shen Chaixing, you can't use the means of medicine, with his kung fu, you may have reached the realm of inviolability, if you act rashly, but he will be detected, it is better to use another method, and he can also make him die in an unknown way." ”
Li Wuru didn't say anything anymore when he heard this, but just sighed slightly. Tang Xixi obviously noticed her emotion and asked, "What, are you actually moved by him?"
Li ruthlessly stretched out his hand to support Tang Xixi's chin, stared at him for a moment, and said: "You and I have the same experience, and we both hate men in the world, how can I be tempted by him? When some men look at women, they are serious on the surface, but their thoughts in their bones are dirty, and I can see such people at a glance. Shen Chaixing is not such a person, no wonder those two Nizi are so obsessed with him, his eyes are extremely pure, reminiscent of the blue sky and the green lake, I really don't want to kill him. ”
Tang Xixi hugged Li Wuru's neck and said softly: "Why do I want to kill him? It's just that now he threatens the interests of our organization, and if we don't do it, someone will do it." ”
He smiled again: "People say, ** A moment is worth a thousand gold, and it's not easy for me to come here, do you and I have to spend it like this?"
