Chapter 40 Chapter 8 The Dark Shadow of the Stone House

Out of the outside, haunted by anything unusual, looking outside is a continuous mountain forest, he feels that this is just a passage out of the mountain of the double snakes, if those three roads can go out of the mountain, Jin Buchang is thinking, this may be the three escape routes prepared by the double snakes.

As the saying goes, there are three holes in the cunning rabbit. For such two traitorous and evil people, it is not normal to prepare two more ways to escape.

Seeing that there was no situation, and there was no trace of the twin snakes, he decided to go back to the cave first, to see if Hua Duoduo went back, and to see if Liu Tian and the others had encountered any situation.

He performed the bone shrinking technique again, entered the exit, lit the fire again, performed light skills, and ran back to the cave from the same way.

At this time, Liu Tian and the others were talking about the big pit that was smashed by a boulder in the open space outside the entrance of the cave.

When they saw him return, they were surprised and delighted. It was surprising that he came back so quickly, and did not encounter any obstacles or ambushes along the way; happily, as long as he returned, he was confident in his confrontation with the enemy, and had no worries.

The two first asked Jin Buchang what the situation was along the way. As soon as Jin Buchang told the two of them about his situation, both of them felt so relaxed, and they always thought that Jin Buchang was the escape channel for the two snakes.

From going out to coming back, it was also an hour when the gold was not exchanged. Ask for directions. Jin doesn't change, it's just that it's not too far. Because it was inconvenient for him to say in front of the two of them that he had performed light skills to come back so quickly.

In fact, he didn't delay along the way, and he also thought of everyone's safety, so he performed light skills, which would consume a lot of physical strength.

He then asked what was going on with them.

Liu Zuo said to Jin Buchang that there were people in this house, and they didn't know who it was, and now they had escaped.

Jin Buchang was also surprised when he heard that there were people in this house. Haven't the two snakes already fled, and where did the people in this house come from?

Liu Zuo told Jin Buchang what happened to the two of them.

They entered along this passage with the word "house", and the road in front of them was still very smooth, and the more they walked, the wider and higher the road. At first, you need to bend down, and after walking 30 meters, you don't bend down anymore.

Continue to walk more than 50 meters, turn left on the road, climb three steps of stone steps, and arrive at a platform, which is made of flat and smooth stones, like a large cabinet.

When I entered the cabinet, there was a bean-like light inside. The two couldn't find an exit for a while, so Tian Chun paced to the light on the left and saw that there was a book placed under the light. So he asked Liu Zuo to go over and take a look.

Liu Zuo looked at the book under the light and felt strange.

The lamp was on, but no one was there. When it was lit, who lit it, and how long the lamp was lit, there is no way to know.

What is even more strange is that this book is not a paper material, nor is it a cloth material, it is a stone book, and there are only two characters on it, one is the upper character and the other is the right character.

The oil lamp shone on these two words, and the book was fixed on a stone, and it could not be held or opened. Liu Zuo looked at it for a few seconds, his eyes adjusted to the surrounding environment, he looked left and right, and found the location of a mechanism.

It turns out that the word "up" has a secret passage on it, and the secret passage is open. Look at the word "right" again, isn't it exactly the direction they are coming from?

This time he understood that the lamp and the book were meant to show the way, upwards to the top, and right to the direction they came.

It's just that it's not clear whether the lamp was lit all the time, or if someone lit it. He said to Tian Chun:

"Let's go up and see where this secret passage leads. Where there is a passage, there is an end. It's just that when we walk, we don't follow too closely, so that the person in front of us is trapped, and the person behind us is also trapped. ”

After speaking, Liu Zuo was the first to go up to the secret door on the oil lamp. I didn't see any danger when I got to the secret door, which led to the west. He walked a few steps, but saw nothing abnormal, so he asked Tian Chun to go up too.

Seeing that the secret passage was becoming more and more elaborate to prevent any enemies from hiding inside, the two slowed down and walked more carefully.

Continue to walk west for more than 50 meters, a glimmer of light appeared at the end of the passage, the two of them were shocked, the passage reached the exit, because this light is clearly a natural light, there is natural light in, it must be to the exit.

The two of them extinguished the fire in their hands, and then lightly touched the light, so light that they did not dare to make a sound. When the two of them were still three or four meters away from the place where the light was shining, they suddenly heard a "pop" sound.

The two of them "chuckled" in their hearts, there was someone! No one came from the voice. Who is it, is it the two snakes in it, or the accomplices of the two snakes in it? The two were in a dilemma, not daring to advance, for fear of encountering a strong and vicious enemy, but not daring to retreat, for fear of making a noise and attracting enemies.

The two of them didn't dare to make a sound, they each maintained a bowed posture, and they didn't dare to move. But just after this "snap" sound, the two did not hear any sound. The two of them thought that it was the natural wind or that some rats had knocked something down or knocked it over, and their fear eased a little.

Just as the two of them were about to move on, they heard the slight footsteps and the rustling of someone tidying up.

This time, the two were completely sure that there was someone outside, but they still didn't know who. They stopped in mid-air with their feet that had just stepped out, and did not dare to move. Suddenly, there was a crisp "snap" sound under Tian Chun's feet, and the two of them were startled at the same time, it was over, the enemy found out, and was about to face a battle of life and death.

Seeing that he couldn't hide his whereabouts, Liu Zuo also put down his supporting feet.

"Who?"

There was an exclamation outside.

At this time, I heard a few footsteps outside quickly, and then there was no sound.

The two knew that the man outside had fled, so they boldly chased after him.

Outside, it was a small room, and there was not a single figure. There was a door in the room that was open to the outside, and the two of them only glanced at the room before chasing them outside.

When the two chased outside, they saw a masked man from the smashed hut, glanced back at them, and flashed into the jungle. The two didn't know who this person was, they didn't know whether they were friends or enemies, and they weren't sure that they could defeat each other, not to mention that it was unknown whether they could even catch up, so they gave up the chase.

What the two of them knew for sure was that this person must not be either of the two snakes, because when this person looked back at them, although he was wearing a mask, his hair and dress were not at all the habitual attire of Yin and Yang Deficiency.

Liu Zuo asked Tian Chun what was going on with the sound under his feet just now, it turned out that Tian Chun's supporting feet had been standing for a long time, a little sore, and he was nervous and afraid, and what was even worse was that his supporting feet were a little slippery, sliding little by little, he couldn't stand, he was afraid and nervous, and accidentally stepped down.

The two of them walked in through the leftmost room of the stone house of the two snakes, and returned to the hut where the man had just made a sound. This is also a dark room, and there is no window leading directly to the outside, but this room has a window that communicates with the outside room and the secret passage inside. The faint light they saw in the dark passage was the second time the hut was emitted from the cubicle.

The room was much brighter than the passage they had just walked. Although there is only one window less than a foot long, the furnishings in this cottage can be seen more clearly.

Hearing this, Jin Buchang was also a little curious, so he said to the two:

"Let's go and see what is nice in this room, why someone is looking in there and stealing. ”

In fact, Liu Tian and the others have been out for a long time, and after they came out, they were waiting for the two of Jinhua outside. Because they have self-knowledge, it is unrealistic for them to fight the enemy here with their martial arts. It's best to have strong reinforcements. If there is no support, if they encounter the enemy, the two of them are also ready to come up with a thirty-six plan - go ahead.

What is the structure of this hut, and what is strange about it, the two of them really haven't re-entered. Now Jin Buchang said that he wanted to go in and have a look, which was also the idea of the two, and they walked towards the hut again.

Jin Bu took the lead and wanted to enter through the smashed hut, Liu Zuo said:

"Jin Daxia, this hut is behind the three rooms of the Twin Snakes, so there is no need to take the dark passage to detour. ”

The three of them walked in from the left room of the three main rooms of the Twin Snakes. Because of the room on the left, there are doors and windows. The two rooms on the right have windows but no doors. The only way to enter is to enter from the room on the left, and then go to the right. Go through the middle room, then through the door of the middle room to the right room.

The room on the left is also the passage that Liu Tian and the others chased out just now. Walking in, these three rooms are the same size, no more than thirty square meters. The furnishings are very simple, there are only two stone benches on the left, a stone round table in the middle, and nothing else.

There are two beds in the middle room, and the so-called bed is just a bed. In fact, these two beds, without legs, are a few wooden planks placed on a few stones, covered with some hay, and then a bamboo mat on top, and a bed of cotton wool on one side of the bed.

The cotton wool is also not covered, it is said to be cotton wool, that is, naked cotton wool, which is also covered with dust and some cobwebs, which shows that no one has slept here for a long time. On the stone wall next to the bed, two or three shirts were hung, and in the dim light, only the color of the clothes could be roughly seen, two were green clothes and one was gray clothes.

Under the clothes, there were two weapons each, both of which were swords, but there was no scabbard, and the body of the sword was also dusty, I don't know whether it was a good sword or an ordinary sword, and the three of them did not move to take the sword off.

Further to the right, there is a kitchen. Because there are stone pots and stone stoves in it. There were also several bundles of dry firewood, all flammable pine and cypress firewood. A stone table with several thick bowls on it. I didn't see a pair of chopsticks, and I don't know what the owner used to make chopsticks to eat.

There was an iron pot above the stone stove, which had grown a thick rust, and nothing else was found. Because the two snakes have not lived here much since they came out of the mountain, they only come back to live for a period of time when they need to recuperate after being injured or when they need to study their poisonous palm kung fu.

Even when they come back like this, they will bring back things that are very convenient, and rarely have to cook their own food. Therefore, the dust of these food, clothing, and housing things is very thick, and it is normal.

At this time, Liu Zuo suddenly asked:

"Hey, it's been so long, why haven't you come back yet?"
