Chapter 146 Secret Path
The two of them were very excited, and from the first drop of rain fell, they divided into two ways and searched along the lake in the rain, but after looking for a long time, they still found nothing.
Feng Yan walked to a place at this time, the lake was full of thorns, hundreds of meters, and no one could get close, last time Jiang Xiaobai felt that this place was strange, and he looked at it a few times, but he didn't find anything.
Feng Yan wanted to bypass this place, but he was still not at ease, anyway, his clothes were already soaked by the rain, so he gritted his teeth, and went down to the lake before he reached the thorns, looking for it from the waterway.
As a result, he walked forward for dozens of meters, and suddenly felt that the underwater undercurrent was surging, as if there was a water ghost dragging his lower body, and he couldn't stand steadily, so frightened that he screamed, grabbed the thorns on the shore, and his hands were pierced and he didn't dare to let go, and he used all his strength to go back, and at the same time shouted in his mouth, "Young master, help, there are ghosts!"
When Jiang Xiaobai heard this, he hurriedly ran over, jumped off the lake, walked over, grabbed his hand, and said, "What's the matter?"
Feng Yan said: "Just now, a water ghost hugged my waist and pulled me down desperately, but now the water ghost seems to have run away." ”
Jiang Xiaobai frowned and said, "What are you making a fuss about? Is it time to make a fuss now?"
Feng Yan wiped a handful of rain on his face, opened his bloody hand to show him, and said hurriedly: "Do you see that my hands are tied like this, like a trouble? There is really a water ghost holding my waist, I don't believe you can go forward and take a look yourself." ”
Jiang Xiaobai nodded and said, "Let's talk about it when we go ashore." ”
After going ashore, Jiang Xiaobai pulled out the Suyue sword and cut a path in the thorn bushes, his clothes were already weathered, and he was torn by the thorns, and he was suddenly tattered, and his clothes did not cover his body.
The two of them stood on the shore, and Jiang Xiaobai said: "You take out the Dinghai God Needle, I'll go down and take a look." ”
Feng Yan nodded, and took out the magic needle, Jiang Xiaobai grabbed the magic needle and jumped down.
At this time, I knew that the rumors were right, the water looked extremely calm, but there was an undercurrent rolling underwater, if it wasn't for the preparations, it was estimated that it would have been swept down.
Feng Yan grabbed the divine needle and dialed it back and forth on the surface of the lake, the left dialed the right, the right dialed to the left, and after a long time of probing, Jiang Xiaobai finally determined where the undercurrent was the largest, and then went ashore.
Feng Yan said: "How about young master, is there a water ghost hugging your waist? I don't know if it's a male ghost or a female ghost? It can't be that the broken sleeve that ran out with us in the Nine Demon Slayer Domain has become a ghost, right?"
Jiang Xiaobai said: "Nonsense! There must be a hole below, this mechanism is not simple, last time I went down, there was no movement at all, let's wait for the rain to stop!"
So they stood wet in the rain and waited for the rain to stop.
An hour later, the rain finally stopped, and although the sky was still cloudy, Jiang Xiaobai still grabbed the magic needle and couldn't wait to go to the ground. Sure enough, he guessed correctly, and the surface of the water had become calm, so he found the place where the water was flowing the most violently just now, plunged down, and touched down the lake wall, because it had just rained, the lake water was turbid, and he couldn't see anything below. The stone was huge, but there was no mud on it, and it was extremely smooth, presumably caused by the erosion of the lake, and it should be this stone that blocked the entrance to the cave.
Jiang Xiaobai found the edge of the stone and wanted to lift the stone up, but it took his strength to feed, and the stone did not move at all. Although he was a monk and held his breath for dozens of times longer than mortals, he couldn't stand it even after lifting it a few times, so he surfaced again to breathe.
Feng Yan hurriedly said, "Young Master, how is it?
Jiang Xiaobai gasped and said, "I found it, but it was blocked by a stone, and I couldn't lift it." ”
Feng Yan said: "Then what should I do? I don't need strength underwater? Or let me smash it with a stick." ”
Jiang Xiaobai said: "I'll go down and try again." He took a few breaths and dived again.
This time he didn't use brute force again, but groped inch by inch along the boulder to see if there was any mechanism. But after touching for a long time, except for a small hole in the middle of the stone, there was no mechanism around it at all. The small hole felt like it was quite deep, and Jiang Xiaobai tried to reach into it with his hand, but the hole was too small to reach into.
Jiang Xiaobai surfaced again and said, "Give me your Dinghaishen Needle!"
Feng Yan said: "What are you doing?"
Jiang Xiaobai stretched out his hand and said, "What so much nonsense, give it to me!"
Feng Yan squatted down and gave him the Dinghai God Needle, and said at the same time: "Don't mess me up, this is my life!"
Jiang Xiaobai glanced at him, didn't speak, took the magic needle and dived down again, groped for a small hole, inserted the magic needle into it, and listened to the "click", as if he had touched the mechanism, Jiang Xiaobai was overjoyed in his heart, and waited for a miracle to happen, but he waited for a long time, but there was no reaction at all.
Jiang Xiaobai couldn't help but feel disappointed, and pulled out the magic needle again. Unexpectedly, the boulder reacted at this time, trembling and shaking, Jiang Xiaobai was startled, and saw that countless cracks suddenly appeared on the boulder, and the lines were shining with golden light, although the lake was turbid, but he could also see clearly, just about to escape, he heard a sound of "bang", the stone exploded, and a huge hole appeared under the stone, and the lake water rushed to the hole, surging like a tide.
Jiang Xiaobai was engulfed by the powerful undercurrent, and his struggle was only like a grasshopper shaking a tree, and he was rushed into the hole in one fell swoop.
The hole is very deep, there is a high drop, and the lake falls like a waterfall.
Feng Yan stood on the shore and saw a huge whirlpool appear on the surface of the lake, and the lake water was surging from all directions, rumbling.
Feng Yan was taken aback, and hurriedly shouted: "Young Master—Young Master—"
But all that responded to him was the sound of gushing water.
The water in the lake dropped sharply, and in a few moments, a huge hole came to the surface. At this time, the water flow was also small, Feng Yan hurriedly jumped down, lay at the entrance of the cave to see, there was a black hole inside, and hurriedly shouted: "Young master-young master-"
Jiang Xiaobai fell down from the waterfall, but fortunately there was a pool below, so he didn't fall to his death. When the water above his head was light, he swam to the edge of the pool, stood on a rock, looked in, and through the faint light of the hole, he saw a long passage leading into the depths of darkness.
At this time, he heard the cry of the wind and said, "I'm fine!"
Feng Yan was overjoyed and said, "What about my Dinghai Divine Needle?"
Jiang Xiaobai was not angry and said, "I can't run." ”
Feng Yan took a long breath and said, "That's good, that's good!"
Jiang Xiaobai said: "You bring Uncle Feng here, there seems to be a passage out here." ”
Feng Yanxi said: "Okay!" climbed ashore with a rolling belt, ran all the way, found the old butler, and without saying a word, he ran back with his back.
Lying at the entrance of the cave and looking at it, he didn't dare to throw the old butler down, looked on both sides, and found that there was a step more than two feet wide on the edge of the hole, so he led the old butler down slowly, and said at the same time: "Young master, why don't you go down the steps here? Why do you want to jump down? If you don't go through the window when you don't go through the door, I really don't understand you." ”
Jiang Xiaobai was so angry that his teeth itched, but he was speechless.
Feng Yan walked down and stood with Jiang Xiaobai, looking at the dark passage ahead, like a gluttonous mouth, ready to swallow them at any time.
Feng Yan was a little nervous, and said, "Young Master, are you sure that this passage is the exit? How do I feel that it is not leading to light, but to hell?"
Jiang Xiaobai said: "Even if it leads to hell, do you think we still have a way back?"
Feng Yan said: "In other words, you have to go in hard?"
Jiang Xiaobai sighed: "Whether you are dead or alive, you can only gamble." And he led the way into the darkness.
Although there was water from half of the lake gushing into the cave, there were probably other hidden passages in the cave, and when the water poured in, it diverted out, and after walking a little further, the ground was actually dry, but it was mildew.
Jiang Xiaobai slammed a beam of fire on his fingertips, only the size of a candle, with his cultivation, it was impossible to brighten it up a little, but in the dark hole, it also illuminated a large area.
The three of them were afraid that there would be a mechanism in the cave, so they walked carefully every step, and after walking down for a while, their eyes gradually became accustomed to the darkness and saw farther. At this time, Feng Yan said: "Young master, look, is that a torch on the wall?"
Jiang Xiaobai glanced at it, it seemed to be a torch, so he flicked the flame on his finger, and the torch was immediately ignited. To their astonishment, only one torch was lit, and as a result, there were countless torches stuck in the walls of the cave, and one after the other, all of them spontaneously combusted until they reached the deepest part of the cave.
The cave was as bright as day.
Jiang Xiaobai and the three of them stayed in the dark for a long time, and when they saw the bright light at first glance, they couldn't open their eyes, and it took a long time to get used to it.
Feng Yan looked around and whispered, "Young Master, there won't be ghosts here, right?"
Jiang Xiaobai said: "Have you ever seen a ghost who is not afraid of fire?"
Feng Yan looked solemn and nodded, "I've seen it!"
Jiang Xiaobai was stunned: "What the hell?"
Feng Yan said solemnly: "Big pervert!"
If it weren't for the old housekeeper at home, Jiang Xiaobai would definitely kick him twice, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you." ”
Feng Yan smiled and said: "Didn't I see that everyone was too nervous, let's relieve the tense atmosphere!Young master, I heard that broken sleeve say, this is the cornucopia of the Nine Demon Slaying Demon Domain, do you think we will find a big treasure?"
Jiang Xiaobai said: "I'm satisfied to get out alive, and I still think about the big treasure? ”
Feng Yan nodded and said, "Yes, yes, hurry up!"
The three of them quickened their pace and walked deeper into the cave, and after walking for two or three hours, the torches were not extinguished, but the road came to an end, and the way was blocked by a stone wall in front of them.
The hearts of the three of them sank, and the secret path was not good, so Feng Yan rushed over, kicked on the stone wall, and shouted: "his uncle, it's a dead end, isn't it fun for Lao Tzu?
