Chapter 760
Situ Qiao touched around the earthen wall, but did not find the secret door and other mechanisms, and was slightly disappointed. After he had walked around the room and found nothing, he walked back to his place, standing right in front of the broken bed.
When the people fled to this deserted village, they broke into this thatched hut. It's just that there are two skeletons in the house, which is extremely terrifying. Although the people had searched the room, they did not look closely at the broken bed. Later, Situ Qiao and the others had already guessed that the skeleton lying on the bed was Zhao Kuo, and they were afraid, wishing that they would be as far away from this broken bed as possible. This time, I searched the house again, and although I looked very carefully, I only carefully surveyed the earthen walls and ground. As for the broken bed, no one dared to move it, and no one even wanted to approach it, as if they were afraid of being contaminated with bad luck.
Situ Qiao stood in front of the bed, thoughtful. A moment later, he lifted his right leg and kicked him on the edge of the broken bed.
The broken bed looked crumbling, as if it could collapse at any moment. Although Situ Qiao's kick only used three points of strength, he thought that it was enough to kick this broken bed down. Unexpectedly, after kicking it, although the broken bed shook a few times, it did not collapse.
Situ Qiao was surprised and delighted, and couldn't help but shout: "The mechanism is on this broken bed!"
The crowd was rummaging through the room. Some stood by the wall, scratching inch by inch, while others squatted on the ground and struck everywhere with the blades in their hands. It's just that I searched for most of the day, but I found nothing, and I couldn't help but be a little frustrated. Hearing Situ Qiao speak, everyone was overjoyed and gathered in front of the bed.
Situ Qiao put his hands on the edge of the broken bed and lifted it upwards with force. Although the broken bed "creaked", it did not leave the ground. Han Li and Li Xu hurriedly stepped forward to help, and the three of them held the broken bed and lifted it upwards with all their might. only heard a loud "click", and the broken bed was finally lifted up by the three of them.
It's just that after the foot of the bed leaves the ground, I can only hear a strange sound under the bed, as if several pieces of iron are rubbing, and the sound is extremely harsh. Li Qiufeng and the others were shocked, and they couldn't help but retreat a few steps back. Situ Qiao, Eldest Sun Guangming, Han Li, and Li Xu were proficient in the secret art of the mechanism, but they were overjoyed when they heard this voice. The four knew that this was the sound of the wooden wheel chain that drove the mechanism as it turned. Now that you hear this voice, there must be something strange under the bed.
The trio lifted the broken bed and leaned it against the earthen wall, revealing the ground under the bed. The floor was no different from the rest of the house, except that it had been hidden by the broken bed for a long time, and the floor looked darker than the rest of the room. Situ Qiao, Han Li, and Li Xu stood aside, looking at the ground in a daze, and they were a little uneasy in their hearts.
Seeing that he finally had a glimmer of life, Gao Lishi was ecstatic. It's just that after the broken bed was lifted, Situ Qiao and the others stopped and just stood in a daze. Colliers was so anxious that he couldn't help but squeeze over, wanting to see what was going on. Who knew that he had just stood next to the broken bed, but he heard Han Li exclaim: "Tall butler be careful, don't be injured by the organ!"
Gao Lishi was stunned and was about to speak, but he felt a chill coming from the ground, and he couldn't help but shiver. He was shocked, hurriedly took two steps back, looked at the ground that was originally covered by the broken bed, and then raised his head and said to Han Li in a trembling voice: "Mr. Han, what's going on?"
Han Li said: "Although there is nothing unusual about this ground, it is just that there is an extremely heavy cold air from the ground, and I think there is something strange below. We have to be careful not to fall into the trap. ”
At this time, Situ Qiao and Li Xu were already searching around on the ground. The eldest grandson Guangming also approached, sometimes squatting on the ground and beating with a long sword, sometimes looking up to the sky, muttering to himself. Li Qiufeng knew that these four people were the best warlocks in the world, and the four of them joined forces, but they were afraid that there was no mechanism that could not be cracked. It was Li Qiufeng's heart that calmed down for a while, turned around and walked to the door, and helped the Xuanji monk in. After the Xuanji monk applied the Yang family's golden medicine, his injuries had improved a lot at this time. He thanked Li Qiufeng, but he saw that Situ Qiao and the others had opened the broken bed and were carefully searching on the ground, not knowing what they were doing, and he was quite puzzled.
Previously, Yang Yansi kindly carried back Chai He for the old man from Fusang, but then disappeared quietly into the grass hut. Although Yang Ye and Yang Yanzhao searched carefully in the house, Yang Yansi was nowhere to be found. Although the skeleton soldiers attacked on a large scale after that, the father and son of the Yang family fought with all their might, and they had no time to care about Yang Yansi's whereabouts, but they were always worried about his safety. At this time, seeing that Situ Qiao and others had found the mechanism under the bed, they were surprised and happy, hoping to find Yang Yansi's whereabouts. It's just that the two of them squeezed in front of everyone, but they were forced by the cold, and they were terrified, secretly thinking that if Yang Yansi fell underground, even if he was not attacked by the enemy, he was afraid that he would not be able to resist the cold. Thinking of this, the two of them were very nervous, and they only hoped that Situ Qiao and the others could open the mechanism as soon as possible and rescue Yang Yansi.
Everyone had their own thoughts, and when they were thinking about it in their hearts, they didn't know which of the four people including Situ Qiao had touched the mechanism, only to hear a soft sound of "click", the faces of the four changed greatly, and they hurriedly retreated. At this moment, I saw that the ground suddenly collapsed, and a large square hole appeared. The broken bed leaning against the earthen wall fell silently into the hole, as if the ground had opened a large mouth and swallowed the broken bed.
Everyone was shocked, looking at the sudden appearance of the hole, and everyone was horrified.
I saw that the entrance of the cave was pitch black, and although everyone was holding a fire fold in their hands, they couldn't see the depth of the hole. Bursts of cold air continued to pour up from the entrance of the cave, forcing everyone to take a few steps back.
Yang Ye and Yang Yanzhao were worried about Yang Yansi's safety, because when everyone retreated, the father and son of the Yang family did not retreat but advanced, and squeezed in front of everyone again, until they reached the edge of the cave. The two of them raised the fire fold and looked into the cave. I saw a stone staircase at the edge of the cave entrance, which extended to the bottom of the cave. It's just that the light of the fire fold is limited, and you can only see five or six stone steps, and then there is a dark patch, and you can't see how deep the cave is.
The father and son of the Yang family stood at the entrance of the cave, only to feel that the cold was pressing and invaded the bone marrow. The two of them thought to themselves, standing at the entrance of the cave, the cold was unbearable. Yang Yansi has been in the cave for a long time, although he is as strong as an ox, he can't withstand such a cold. If you don't get him out as soon as possible, I'm afraid that my life will be in danger. The father and son of the Yang family had the same mind, glanced at each other, and then immediately held the fire fold and walked straight to the cave.
Li Qiufeng and the others stood behind the father and son of the Yang family, and when they saw the two of them suddenly walking into the cave, they were all shocked. Because everyone was standing behind the father and son of the Yang family, they didn't know that there was a stone step in the cave, and when they saw the two of them suddenly sinking into the cave, they thought that something had changed. Li Qiufeng admired the behavior of the Yang family's father and son, for fear that the two would lose. Seeing this, he hurriedly rushed forward, wanting to help. It's just that when he rushed to the entrance of the cave, the father and son of the Yang family had already walked down the three or four stone steps with a fire fold.
Li Qiufeng found out that there was a stone step in the cave at this time, and he was surprised and happy. Seeing the father and son of the Yang family walking down the stone steps, not falling into the trap, they were relieved. Situ Qiao and the others also rushed forward, but they were also surprised when they saw the stone steps in the cave. Cao Bin said: "Since several gentlemen have found the secret path of the organ, we naturally have no way out. Let's go down together, so we can take care of it!"
Everyone nodded yes and rushed to the cave. Li Qiufeng saw that Cao Bin, Han Li, Li Xu, and Gao Lishi had walked down the stone steps, so he helped the monk Xuanji to walk towards the cave. Situ Qiao, Eldest Sun Guangming, and Su Yan followed behind Li Qiufeng, holding the fire fold in their hands, and cautiously walked into the cave.
The stone steps were extremely steep, and the cold air kept pouring up from the bottom of the cave. Although everyone has martial arts, they also feel extremely uncomfortable. I had to use my internal strength to fight against the cold around me. After walking for half a pillar of incense, Li Qiufeng was getting farther and farther away from Cao Bin and others in front of him because he wanted to support the Xuanji monk. Later, I could only see a few blurred lights in the shadows under my feet, but I couldn't see the figures of Cao Bin and the others clearly.
After walking for another cup of tea, Situ Qiao suddenly "pouted". Li Qiufeng was stunned, he didn't know what Situ Qiao had discovered, and when he was about to ask, he heard Situ Qiao tremble behind him and say, "Strange, why did those people in front suddenly disappear?"
Li Qiufeng's heart sank. When he walked, because he wanted to support the monk Xuanji, he was cautiously looking at his feet, so he didn't pay attention to Cao Bin and the others who were walking in front. At this time, hearing Situ Qiao say this, he hurriedly looked down. By the light of the fire fold, you could only see two or three stone steps under your feet, and further down there was darkness. The few dim points of light that were originally a few feet away have all disappeared at some point.
Li Qiufeng couldn't help but stop, and his thoughts turned sharply. Situ Qiao took two steps down, stood side by side with Li Qiufeng, and said, "Brother Li, I've always been worried about something strange in this cave, but Han Li and Sun Xu are proficient in the five elements of Qimen, and it's a good thing to have these two guys in front of us to open the way." It's just that I'm worried that these two people have other plans, so I'm keeping an eye on them. The light in front of him suddenly disappeared, something must have happened......"
When Situ Qiao said this, he heard the eldest grandson Guangming say behind the two: "Mr. Situ is right. They did disappear suddenly. We're five or six feet away from them, do we still have to keep up?"
Li Qiufeng was shocked and uncertain. After pondering for a moment, he continued: "Cao Bin is right, we are already advancing and retreating now. It's just that you have to be very careful to move forward. ”
Situ Qiao said: "Brother Li, if you want to protect Master Xuanji, let the elder brother open the way for you!"
The eldest grandson Guangming walked a few steps quickly, walked to the two of them, and said, "Mr. Situ, I will explore the road in front with you." ”
Li Qiufeng knew that the two of them were proficient in the five elements of Qimen, so he no longer shirked. After Situ Qiao and Eldest Sun Guangming walked down the stone steps, he also supported the Xuanji monk and followed closely behind the two. At this time, Su Yan also followed, helping Li Qiufeng to support the Xuanji monk. The five of them walked down more than a dozen stone steps, estimating that they had reached the place where Cao Bin and the others had disappeared, so they walked more carefully. At this moment, Li Qiufeng suddenly felt that his feet were empty, and his body fell down rapidly. His heart sank, and he only felt that the dazzling white light was constantly changing, and it was extremely strange.
Li Qiufeng was horrified, and couldn't help but think: "Could it be that I am already dead?!"
