Chapter 185: Shorty
Under Lu Mingfei's pull, Yu Yingxue quickly came out of the water.
Looking up, it was pitch black overhead, without the slightest light, but there was a passage above it after all, and although they didn't know where it would lead, they had no choice, so they still crawled towards it.
This time, it was Lu Mingfei's turn to fly in front, and Yu Yingxue followed.
The stone road above is not too wide, the surrounding is uneven, it is not difficult to climb, and the two have climbed a distance of more than ten meters in a short time.
When he went up again, the stone road bent and extended horizontally, and Lu Mingfei had no choice but to continue to move forward, hoping to find a way out.
The space around him seemed to gradually become wider, but he was in absolute darkness, unable to see, and he groped for half a day with each step, cautiously, step by step.
"What now? Do you want to keep going?"
Never perceiving the end, Lu Mingfei vaguely noticed that there was a strange smell around him in addition to the smell of wet rot, and slowly stopped his body and discussed with Yu Yingxue behind him.
"I don't know what the hell it is, if I encounter some strange beasts and poisonous insects, it will be over. ”
After saying another word, he heard a burst of echoes, and Lu Mingfei realized that he had unknowingly crawled into a cave.
Yu Yingxue wanted to answer, but suddenly heard a small voice faintly in front of her, and immediately held her breath, concentrating and being on guard.
From time to time, there would be a sound of dripping water in the cave, which was originally insignificant, but at this time it was extremely clear, in addition, Lu Mingfei and the two could clearly hear each other's breathing and heartbeat.
Suddenly, a light cough broke the silence in the cave, the sound was not loud, but here it was like thunder, and the frightened two involuntarily took a few steps back.
"Who are you two and how did you get here?"
Without waiting for Lu Mingfei to react, a hoarse voice suddenly asked.
Lu Mingfei was not lightly frightened by this sudden question, but he still stood in front of Yu Yingxue and looked ahead vigilantly.
I want to try to see the front clearly, but there is still absolute darkness in front of me, and I can't see anything at all.
After being quiet for a while, it made him breathe a sigh of relief, he didn't expect that in such a special place, there would be other people, after all, it was better than encountering fierce beasts and poisonous insects.
The hoarse voice snorted again, and then said: "I haven't seen anyone in eighteen years, I can't imagine that I will have the opportunity to see a living person, interesting, really interesting." ”
Lu Mingfei didn't pay attention to the other party's words, still looked ahead vigilantly, and said coldly: "Who are you? Don't pretend to be a ghost, you have the ability to stand up and speak." ”
The man suddenly smiled and said, "Am I not just standing here?" ”
The next moment, Lu Mingfei's eyes suddenly lit up,
The light came very abruptly and dazzlingly, and the two of them reached out to block their eyes.
It was only a moment later that I realized that the dazzling light in front of me was actually nothing more than an oil lamp.
Carrying the oil lamp was a short man less than a meter tall, wearing a tattered robe, which encased his entire body, revealing only two small hands and a head.
originally thought that the other party was a dwarf, but after seeing it clearly, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but be shocked.
The man's facial features were childish, he was clearly only a seven or eight-year-old child, and his small hands carrying oil lamps were less than half the size of ordinary people, but the strange thing was that on his face he had a gray beard, which looked nondescript.
The oil lamp was already very dim, but it was only because it was too dark around that Lu Mingfei felt that the light was a little dazzling, and after the man lit the oil lamp, he pulled his robe and blocked his face, as if he was a little afraid of the light, and he didn't pay attention to the surprise of the two, so he turned around.
"Come with me. ”
He threw down a sentence and walked towards the cave.
Seeing that the other party didn't seem to show malicious intent, Lu Mingfei and Yu Yingxue glanced at each other, and then boldly followed the dwarf towards the inside.
There is a cave in the cave, and after walking for a long time, the surroundings have become much wider, and there are many furniture in the cave, there are several broken tables and chairs, all made of stone, and various utensils of different sizes are piled up on the side of the stone wall.
Lu Mingfei looked at the other party with some confusion, and asked puzzledly, "Who are you, how did you live here, and what kind of place is this?"
After listening to this series of questions, the man just smiled faintly and said, "How did you get in? This place is naturally at the bottom of the Bihu Lake, since you can get here, don't you know?"
It is indeed similar to what Lu Mingfei expected, it is indeed at the bottom of the Bihu Lake, and I don't know how such a stone cave was formed under the vast Bihu Lake.
"Who the hell are you, could it be that the water monster at the bottom of this lake has become a spirit?"
Hearing Lu Mingfei's question, the man suddenly laughed, and said to himself: "Since you are here, it is better not to remember who you are." ”
While speaking, the man took a stone bowl casually, came to a large stone jar beside him, stretched out his hand to scoop it, and he didn't know what he scooped out, threw it on the stone table on the side, and said to Lu Mingfei and the others: "Eat, eat." ”
"Ahh
Yu Yingxue couldn't help but exclaim, and kept stepping back.
The dwarf was filled with a bowl full of unknown insects, and it was constantly wriggling in the stone bowl, which looked shocking.
Seeing that the two of them were obviously a little afraid, the dwarf didn't pay attention to anything anymore, and said with a smile to himself: "When you get here, these are the only ones you can eat, since you don't want to eat, then wait until you're hungry to eat." ”
The dwarf's behavior was obviously a little abnormal, and Lu Mingfei didn't bother to pay attention to him, so he searched in the stone cave by himself.
He also asked the dwarf what his exit was, but the other man always didn't answer the question, said something inexplicable, and only pointed to the top of the side of the cave later.
Looking overhead, he saw that there was a hole in the place he was pointing to, larger than the mouth of the bowl, and there was a hanging basket hanging under the hole, which was actually an outlet for communication with the outside world, but the width of the hole was only enough to send some small items, but not enough for one person to pass through.
After searching for a while, I learned that this stone cave was completely closed at one end, and then I thought about it, where is this still a stone cave, it is clearly a water prison. In this way, if you want to leave, you can only go back the same way, I thought I had found a way out, but I didn't expect this to be the result, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but feel a little stupid.
Yu Yingxue was still unwilling to give up, and when she saw Lu Mingfei stop searching, she took the broken sword and kept knocking on the surrounding stone walls, although the force was not great, but the stone cave was extremely silent, and the sound was extremely noisy.
The dwarf was probably a little impatient, and said with a few strange laughs: "Don't bother, it's all closed, there is no exit, and I don't know how you got in, but if you want to get out, I'm afraid it's difficult." ”
While talking, he glanced at Yu Yingxue casually, and was about to turn around, but suddenly saw the broken sword in Yu Yingxue's hand.
The dwarf's face changed drastically, and he just looked at the broken sword directly, his eyes unblinking.
"You...... Where did you get this Danqing sword from?!"
Yu Yingxue was also surprised by his question, she didn't expect the other party to say the name of her sword.
Without waiting for Yu Yingxue to react, the dwarf was about to step forward, Lu Mingfei was afraid that he would have some bad intentions, so he hurriedly stopped in front of Yu Yingxue.
The dwarf was full of excitement, pointed at Yu Yingxue and asked, "What is the relationship between you and Mr. Fu Caiyan, and why is his sword in your hand?"
Fu Caiyan is Yu Yingxue's master, looking at the dwarf's expression, it is obvious that he has some relationship with Fu Caiyan, Yu Yingxue is a little curious and inconvenient to hide something, so he said bluntly: "Fu Caiyan is the family teacher, who are you, why do you recognize my master?"
The dwarf's face became more excited, and there was a faint hint of joy, and he said to himself: "Mr. Fu actually has a successor, Mr. Fu has a successor, it's really gratifying." ”
After a few forgetful recitations, the dwarf suddenly looked at Yu Yingxue again and asked, "Little girl, what's your name?"
Yu Yingxue hesitated for a moment, seeing that the other party was extremely strange in terms of body shape and demeanor, but inexplicably felt that he was not a villain, and then said: "My name is Yu Yingxue." ”
"What!"
The dwarf exclaimed in surprise when he heard this name, and then fell to his knees with a thud, and said with a trembling voice: "It turned out to be Her Royal Highness the Princess, and the criminal minister has seen Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
