Chapter 313: The Right Way
Shen Tao's idea meant that there was no torch in the middle of the team, so he could only follow the people in front of him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Fortunately, there are only fourteen of them, which is not a lot of people, and the line is not long. There are three people walking side by side in this passage, but in order to be less crowded, two people are walking side by side. In other words, there are seven rows in total, and if everyone gets closer, the torches at the beginning and end can still slightly shine on the two people in the middle.
Not knowing how long it would be dark ahead, tensor nodded in favor of Shen Tao's proposal.
Soon everyone determined their positions in the team, Xie Hao and Qin Tianbao of the Casting Mountain Villa each took a torch and walked at the front of the team, the people in front were all from the Casting Mountain Villa, and Yan Bihai and Zhang Chuming of the Yunlong Sword Sect also took a torch and walked at the back of the team, Chen Feifei and Xiao Mufeng walked in the penultimate row of the team, and in front of them were Shen Tao and Shen Fei.
Because the light was much dimmer than before, everyone moved forward more cautiously than before.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Xie Hao, who was walking in the front, suddenly shouted, "There is a bright light ahead." ”
A few steps further, Chen Feifei also saw that there was indeed a glimmer of light diagonally above him that was far away from him.
Since there was light, of course, everyone would not stop, so they continued to walk up the stone steps.
It didn't take long for everyone to reach the place where there was light. The light shone down from the top of the stone steps about a foot high, and it was through a small square hole, and it was supposed to be the sunlight outside.
"Shine the torch upwards. Tensor said.
Xie Hao and Qin Tianbao immediately raised the torch high, only to see that in addition to this hole, there was also a circle around it, and it was obvious that there was a stone slab above them.
"You two jump up on it and see if you can open it. Tensor commanded again.
The height of one zhang is nothing for a person who can do light work, and the two of them handed the torch to the person behind them, and then jumped up, and lifted the stone slab with both hands at the same time.
Without the shade of the stone slab, the dazzling sunlight is projected from above without hindrance, making people unable to open their eyes for a while.
The two of them jumped out of the hole, stepping on some soft dirt, and looked around, and there was a cliff on one side, and a very steep slope on the other, bare, so steep that ordinary animals could not climb up at all.
"Master, this path is gone. Qin Tianbao said loudly towards the cave.
The dazzling sunlight illuminated the entrance of the cave clearly, and Chen Feifei found that in addition to the road when he came, there were stone walls on three sides around the entrance of the cave, and there was indeed no road.
Tensor and Shen Tao jumped out of the cave together, looked at the situation around, there is indeed no road here, the steep slope is going down the mountain, but below the steep slope is a large forest, the world sword should not be hidden below, is it under the cliff? The two of them did not dare to take such a big risk, and they both felt that it was better to return the same way. Since there are four holes, there must be fraud among them, both of them are old rivers and lakes, so naturally the more cautious the better.
Everyone returned the same way, and when they reached the entrance of the four caves, they saw two disciples of the Hongyan Gate standing there.
"Everyone. One of the women said, "Presumably you haven't found the real entrance! Senior Sister Shang asked the two of us to stand here because we have found the real entrance, and several other sects have already entered, so it's up to you." ”
Zhang Liang and Shen Tao looked at each other and didn't speak, only to see Zhang Liang nodding and saying, "Thank you." ”
The two female disciples of the Hongyan Gate led the way, and everyone followed them into the second cave on the right.
It was also dark in the cave, and everyone had to light the torches, and walked forward for about three quarters of an hour, but there was a fire in the cave, and they saw that there was a torch lit on the stone wall every dozens of steps on both sides.
"This was lit when we first went in. There has always been something inside. Another woman from the rainbow smoke gate who accompanied her explained.
They had walked a dozen steps further, and then they saw a large number of dead bats lying on the ground, and the bats were as big as cats without their wings, and they were very terrifying.
"It's a vampire bat. Shen Tao said.
"We lit the torches and we met these bats. The woman said this lightly, as if she was not afraid of these vampire bats at all.
Continuing to move forward, after walking for less than a quarter of an hour, suddenly there was a faint voice in front of me, and the road that the three of them could walk together was getting wider and wider, and when I saw dozens of people in front of me, it was already wide enough to be able to walk more than a dozen people in parallel.
"Master Zhang. Lin Yaokun turned around and stepped forward.
"Lin Shaoxia, you are... ?" asked the tensor exit.
"Oh, there's some danger here, you have to go through them one by one. Lin Yaokun replied, and seeing that Chen Feifei and Xiao Mufeng were also there, he hurriedly came over and said hello.
When everyone heard that there was danger here, they went up to see what was going on, and it turned out that there was a deep ditch not far in front of them, and the wind was blowing upwards in the ditch, and this ditch was also a big ditch, and the two sides were four or five zhang apart, but fortunately there were two hemp ropes in the middle. Lin Yaokun said that the past by one is from the two hemp ropes.
Fortunately, everyone can work lightly, and with a few taps on the hemp rope, you can leap to the opposite side of this deep ditch, but now it will take a little time to pass one by one.
After crossing the deep ditch, and continuing on, the road began to narrow again, until it reverted to the appearance of only three people in parallel.
"How is Miss Shang ahead?" Zhang Liang asked Shang Lin, who was walking beside Lin Yaokun.
"Master Zhang, the little woman doesn't know. Shang Lin shook her head in embarrassment.
"This... Didn't you Hongyanmen inform everyone that this is the right way?" said Tensor.
Shang Lin smiled and said: "We found that there was a gate blocked in front of us, but it couldn't be opened, so we went back the same way, and we saw that the Qian Gang Master and Senior Li of Fan Tiangu also returned to the same place, and after asking, we felt that this path was the right one." I don't know, Master Zhang, what is the situation of which road you have?"
"We're a dead end. Tensor replied.
