052 - Walking Light and Trickery
When he saw Yue Dengzhou again, Tang Lichuan was going to water the herbs of the pharmacist with Zhenlu, and the two of them first went to the Dharma Hall to incense the real wine, and then passed through the Minsi Hall. Hearing Yue Dengzhou shouting: "Ba Shixi, you stop me!" The two of them were surprised, and when they looked up, they only heard Ba Shiyan shouting triumphantly: "Yes, you can catch up with me with your ability!" Seeing Yue Dengzhou panting and coming out from behind the rockery and seeing them, Tang Lichuan was surprised but also saw Yue Dengzhou embarrassed and asked with a smile: "Have you seen Ba Shixi?"
Zhenlu spread his hands and said, "Brother Yue hasn't caught up yet?"
Yue Dengzhou was tired enough, and said, "That kid's light skills are really good." As he spoke, he hugged his fist towards Tang Lichuan and ran away.
Tang Lichuan turned around and asked what was going on, and Zhenlu said: "Brother Yue has a cousin, didn't he fall in love with Brother Han ten years ago! It was for this reason that Brother Han begged Emperor Xiao to transfer him to Yu'an. ”
I see. Tang Lichuan felt funny and said, "Who is Yue Dengzhou's cousin?"
He said: "It's Yan Shizheng Yan Xuanzhi's cousin! What is the name, I don't remember, I heard that she has not married yet, but Brother Han has no intention of her, it is said that she is still a big beauty......
Tang Lichuan laughed for a day.
I went back early on this day, changed the medicine, and my arm was almost better. When Tang Lichuan returned to Xingguang Courtyard, the three children were picking up stones and playing in the flowers, and the old man who swept the floor politely saluted him and asked him if he wanted to drink some tea, Tang Lichuan smiled and said that he wanted to rest early, but he closed the door and remembered Xiao Gu's injury.
He was thinking about it when he heard a burst of laughter. This laughter came from a woman, her voice was crisp and clean, but because it was suddenly frightened, Tang Lichuan's heart was pounding. And where did the woman come from in Xingguang Temple? He wondered when he opened the door to look, only to realize that the so-called woman's laughter was coming from his room.
Tang Lichuan stood there and glanced at it, although the room was dimly lit, there was nowhere to hide. After much thought, he walked inside, only to notice an extra blanket on the floor that he had never seen before. At this moment, the creepy laughter also came to an abrupt end.
As soon as the voice stopped, Tang Lichuan Fang Jue's house was quiet and terrifying. He stood where he had stopped and looked at the blanket, it seemed to be an old object, and he couldn't see anything peculiar, but after thinking about it, he felt that the laughter seemed to come from under the blanket.
The blanket was flat, and there might have been a small snake underneath, but not enough to burrow a person. Tang Lichuan thought unless there was a hole underneath. People are just strange sometimes, always thinking in strange and terrible directions, and even if it's just a misunderstanding, they will come up with something bizarre. Tang Lichuan's recent encounters made him think about it like this. He was so frightened by himself that he crouched down in fear and hesitated for a long time before he uncovered the blanket.
A small slit was up, and he glanced at it, but he really couldn't see it. Finally, thinking that there could not be a single evil spirit, he had the courage to pull up the blanket, but he still frightened himself. Because there is a boxy black hole underneath the blanket.
The floor of the house was made of stone slabs, each three feet long and two feet wide, and almost ten inches thick, so that such a stone slab could not disappear out of thin air, and it was impossible for one or two people to have enough force to move it away. It may also be that there are some secret passages in these old rooms of the Zhengfa Palace, and it is difficult to say, perhaps because of this, it is also understandable that the current situation is that some disciples of the Zhengfa Palace want to rectify him.
Tang Lichuan stared at the stone cave twice, and thought of countless possibilities in his mind. Before I knew it, I heard a "squeak" and the door opened. He looked back, and saw that a crack in the door was about to close, and a gray figure and a scent of fragrance came to his face. Tang Lichuan squatted on the ground, only saw the hem of the other party's clothes, and when he wanted to look up, he only felt that someone slapped him the head, and the other party actually swept his legs and stuffed him into the black hole in that square.
The space in the cave is much larger than the area of the stone slab, but it is not a vertical line. Tang Lichuan smashed his head twice when he was pushed down, although he wanted to protect his head, but if he slipped down like this, he was also embarrassed. At the last moment, he suddenly stretched out his leg and barely supported himself on the cave wall, because the old wound on one arm had not healed and could not exert force, but he still slid down a few feet before stopping.
A cold wind was blowing from below, and Tang Lichuan, who was panting, felt that his heart was about to jump to his throat, and when he looked up, it was also a dark mess above and he couldn't see the square hole he had fallen from. And at this moment, there was a crisp laugh of "giggles" above his head, and the laughter seemed weird and terrifying in this hole, coupled with such an environment and such an encounter, Tang Lichuan panicked, and his legs and feet couldn't get up. But now in this situation, he can only climb up. This kind of gecko-like posture is tiring, not to mention that he still has an arm that can't be used.
He had only climbed a few steps when he heard the sound of a sooth coming from below, slowly approaching him. Tang Lichuan thought that he had heard it wrong at first, and perhaps he also hoped that he had heard it wrong, so he looked down and shouted with some annoyance: "Who is here? Why did you pull me in?" Instead, the eerie laughter he had heard before came from above his head, as if it was teasing him.
Tang Lichuan looked up again, and just wanted to climb out quickly when his feet were violently entangled by something. He didn't even have time to scream before his feet were empty, and the whole person was dragged down again. Tang Lichuan couldn't help shouting for such a shocking thing, but unfortunately he couldn't hear the voice of the second person except for his own shouting. It's just that the next hole is relatively smooth compared to the previous section, and he almost slides down until he finally falls to a relatively flat spot with a "plop" and his own scream of horror.
He lay on the ground for a while, the wound on his arm seemed to be a little torn, and it was a dull ache that reminded him that it was not a dream. Tang Lichuan shook his head in the dark, and when he got up, he noticed that there was an extra thing in his boots, and when he reached out and touched it, it seemed to be a very small fire fold. He was surprised and delighted, and felt that at least it wasn't a ghost playing tricks on him.
Unfortunately, the fire fold was so small that it could only illuminate a distance of three feet around him, and the night under the ground seemed to be able to eat him up. There were old torches on the stone walls on either side of him, and when I took them down and looked at them, I seemed to think that someone had deliberately placed them here. And so it had happened, he took the torch and lit it, and looked around. At this glance, he was startled again, for he saw a black coffin just a few paces away from him, and in addition to the black coffin there were two very neat piles of gold bars and gold cakes, the first of which was a man tall! about ten thousand pieces.
Tang Lichuan couldn't figure out the situation, he looked up. The cave was about a foot high, a square stone chamber, and the place where he fell into it did not even have anything to climb, and he could not jump on it according to his own skill. The coffin was in the stone chamber, and the gold was piled on either side of it against the stone walls. And there is a door at the back of the coffin. He walked away from the coffin with the torch and walked to the next door, and by the light of the fire, he saw that he was only going from this stone chamber to another, and it was larger, and there were many small lattices carved out of the stone walls inside, and in the lattice were some sealed things, about the same as a book. As he walked forward, he saw an arrow shaped by a gold bar on the ground in front of him.
He looked down, and suddenly felt that something was approaching him, but he didn't dare to think too much about the punch being a fierce blow. There was a "plop" sound, as if it was a person. Although Tang Lichuan's hands hurt, he thought in his heart that maybe it was really the disciples of the Zhengfa Palace who were playing tricks on him. Thinking of this, he got up and ran, and ran in the direction of the arrow for dozens of paces before he saw an exit, there were still some gold bars on the ground, and there were some paintings carved on the stone wall where the torch was shining, and he didn't have a chance to look more, so he just ran forward to find a place to hide. As a result, until the last stone room, I saw some weapons piled up on the ground, and on the opposite wall was a sword pierced with a piece of paper with a large character written on it, "Go!"
The sword was naturally entered by someone else, and the skill was very deep, the blade of the sword did not enter the stone wall at least a foot, and the ink on the paper was very new. Although there is a big character written on it, where is this going? Tang Lichuan looked around with a torch, and finally his eyes fell on those chaotic swords, and he walked over to take a look, and finally saw a black hole hidden underneath, and shone it with a torch, the hole was slightly oblique, and there was a fishy smell and rotten smell coming from inside. He didn't have a chance to think about it before he got in.
The inside of this hole was just big enough for him to curl up on his knees, and there would be stone passages and dirt holes, and then it would go up and down for a while, and it would be twisted and twisted as if it were playing tricks on people, and from time to time some rats would come out, and he almost vomited when he crawled. I don't know how long it will be, and the torch in my hand is about to go out. He was also tired enough to stop and think about what happened the moment he fell into the hole, and he thought that he could see who moved the hand, but after thinking about it for a long time to no avail, even if someone wanted to rectify it, he didn't have to be so damaging to ask him to climb other people's graves, right? Tang Lichuan screamed in nausea and threw it behind him, and began to suspect that the ghost was joking with him, and he struggled to climb up.
There was no strength in his legs, his knees were worn out, and he was sweating, but he didn't dare to stay. His fingers were also bleeding, so he had to take off his coat and wrap it in his palm. It took a whole day to climb to the end. The torch had already been extinguished, and he couldn't see what was in front of him, but when he pushed his palm, he felt that it seemed to be a big rock, which was heavier. He paused for a breath and then pushed it with all his might, and the stone slab, which he had unexpectedly seemed to be understanding, was suddenly much lighter, and was easily pushed aside by him, and when he looked up, it was still pitch black except for the fresh breath.
Tang Lichuan jumped up panting, the night wind blew, and he couldn't help but shiver when he was sweating. When he looked up, he noticed an oil lamp lit a few feet away, and the light of a bean-sized candle was extremely faint, like a firefly. He reacted for a long time before he thought that this place was the stone room on the mountain where Xiao Gu brought him to practice swords!
Outside it was night, and there were countless stars. Tang Lichuan stood at the door and looked at it, feeling a little indescribably happy in his heart. Maybe this is really someone else playing tricks on him, he was thinking like this, but there was a sound of stones rolling behind him, he subconsciously looked back, but he didn't want to be controlled by the other party's trick again, and his eyes turned black and he lost consciousness.
