Chapter 29: Enter the Hole
Thirteen hadn't digested the information of Liuyun Mountain City yet, and now all kinds of strange things had come out, and he was already a little flustered in his heart, and the current situation was becoming more and more difficult to control.
(The ten-fold master in his twenties, Nima, and Lin were only fought against the nine-fold people before...) Why don't you find a place to continue incognito... )
(I didn't die by jumping off the cliff this time, who knows what will happen to you next time...) )
(This time I changed to a place with fewer people, why don't you find a small island?)
"Uncle Thirteen, come and see!"
"What a mo..."
"Come here!"
Huang Guiyun's voice from the side of the mountain wall was not anxious or frightened, but a little excited.
Thirteen didn't want to be so flustered just now, opened his eyes and slowly picked up the more prosperous branches, and walked towards Huang Guiyun's voice.
By the faint light of the fire, Thirteen saw Huang Guiyun standing next to the mountain wall and waving at him, approaching with a burning branch and shaking it, there was a hole in the mountain wall!?
Because the vines on the cliff wall of Huang Guiyun were torn off, the hole hidden in it revealed traces.
Thirteen leaned into the cave slightly, and he felt that the mountain wall was unusually smooth, much smoother than the passage under the old banyan tree that led to Liuyun Mountain City before.
Although he had expected that this flat platform was artificially cultivated, he sat down with peace of mind and prepared to wait for dawn, he didn't want to find a way in the dark, otherwise it would be bad if he stepped on the air and fell down, but he didn't expect the road to be here.
But now the question is, where does this bottomless cave lead?
Thirteen took two steps back and looked around the entrance, and saw that there was a raised object on the left side of the opening, also covered in vines and moss.
Cleaning his hands and feet with vines and moss, he saw a small stone tablet, probably left by the man who excavated the secret passage of the cave.
Thirteen squatted down and checked sentence by sentence, and read out the handwriting that could still be recognized in his heart: "Yu... Withdraw... Rivers and lakes... Stay... Merit... Tucked in... Margin... Inherit... Name... harm..."
(Gan Linliang, do you really have a peerless cheat?)
Huang Guiyun watched Thirteen groping for the stone tablet for a long time without speaking, and asked, "Uncle Thirteen, what is written on it?"
"It's nothing, it's probably a place where a high-ranking person lives in seclusion. "Thirteen is too lazy to bother to speak, just to tell the content of the summary.
Huang Guiyun's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Is there really a high-ranking person living in seclusion here?"
The branch in his hand had burned out, and Thirteen walked back to the small fire, "Perhaps, maybe it's just a skeleton." ”
"Uncle Thirteen, are we going in?" Huang Guiyun looked at the road where he couldn't see his five fingers, and his heart was a little stunned.
"Anyway, it's idle now, so let's go in and take a look, maybe there really is some peerless magic skill, and then after you finish your studies, you will fight invincible opponents all over the world." ”
"Wow, let's go. ”
Huang Guiyun also listened to the storytellers in the town talk about the adventures of various heroes since he was a child, and jumping off the cliff is a low-risk and high-reward thing for them, and he didn't expect that he also had such an adventure, so he couldn't wait to set off immediately.
Thirteen sat in place and didn't even move: "Are you stupid, what if there is a mechanism in the black light?"
"So what to do?"
Huang Guiyun's passion for the first time to experience the adventure was instantly extinguished by Thirteen's words.
"Make a torch. ”
Thirteen had the experience of survival in the wilderness that Huang Guiyun was extremely envious of, and when the young man saw his senior, he combined the branches, strips of cloth, and the fire oil he took out of his arms into two torches.
"Uncle Thirteen, how can you take out so many things from your clothes?"
"Just kidding, this is Lin Quilt's battle suit back then, a must-have equipment for home travel, and I will pass it on to you when I come to my door. ”
Huang Guiyun once again rejected Thirteen's kindness: "It's a little short, I can't wear it." ”
"Cool ...... Rain"
......
Make a torch, step on the thirteen fires, stand on the edge of the platform and look up, look down and look down, before taking Huang Guiyun into the cave.
Thirteen originally wanted to give Huang Guiyun a partner, but he didn't know what the situation would be after entering the cave, so he decided to keep a handful, and he wouldn't lose it anyway.
The passage in the cave is quite wide, enough for two people to be parallel, but Thirteen's choice is to walk against the mountain wall and let Huang Guiyun follow him to maximize safety.
The road was not winding, judging by all indications, it should have been a long time since anyone had walked it, and the sound of the two men coming in and the light of the fire scared away a few bats, but other than that, there was no sign of other creatures.
The indistinct inscription at the entrance must have been left by the discoverer or excavator of the cave, and a few simple words make it clear that there was something left here.
As for whether there was a mechanism or not, or whether this place was where the man lived on weekdays, it was not known, so Thirteen held the torch and carefully supported the flat mountain wall and walked slowly.
Back then, in order to dig the less than fifty steps leading to Liuyun Mountain City, it took Thirteen more than ten days to get through with more than a dozen strong laborers.
And the passage of this cave is not only wider than the passage he led people to dig, but the stone wall is more like it has been finely polished, and there is not the slightest unevenness, which is really strange.
(Oops, it's over.) If that person was still alive, seeing Ah Huang, he might have to take him as an apprentice, and Lin was going to have to make some preparations...... )
As Thirteen expected, this is indeed a long road, the simple torch has burned a lot shorter, and it has become a little darker, but there is still no change in the front, and when the thought of turning back comes to my heart, I look at the front and back are dark, and I feel a little disoriented in a trance.
The two of them walked quietly like this, but there was not even a fork in the cave, and Thirteen knew that the person was not lost when he listened to Huang Guiyun's footsteps.
"Thirteen Uncle ......"
Huang Guiyun felt bored and wanted to speak, but according to the normal volume of speech outside, it caused a huge echo in such a small environment, which startled both of them.
With the experience of the past, Thirteen lowered his voice and complained: "Gan Linlao, Lin is not deaf, so you don't need to speak so loudly." ”
“......”
"Huh, have you spoken?"
"Thirteenth Uncle......" Huang Guiyun finally found the right volume to speak, and tried to suppress his voice and said, "Are you a graduate of Longquan Temple?"
"What does graduation mean?"
"That's it...... It was at the headquarters of Longquan Temple that I learned very powerful martial arts. ”
"What is the main thing, do you want to ask me if I have ever been a monk?"
The few words of conversation between the two of them made Thirteen a little puzzled.
I felt that Huang Guiyun's name for Lu Renjia and Lin Feng's seniors was a bit strange earlier, wasn't they all called senior brothers before, and he couldn't figure out any messy things such as martial arts and registration fees, but he didn't ask because of his face.
"No, didn't you use the golden bell jar when you were buried by the stone? That's a very powerful kung fu in Longquan Temple!"
"Can the Golden Bell Jar only go to Longquan Temple to learn?" continued to walk forward without looking back.
"Yes, there is no such powerful high-level martial arts taught in the martial arts hall. ”
"Death, the cheats that Lin was bought by a roadside stall turned out to be a high-level martial arts? I would have let you worship me as a teacher, I couldn't even learn these things in the martial arts hall for so much money, I can teach you without tuition." ”
"Can you buy this cheat at a roadside stall?"
Huang Guiyun really didn't believe Thirteen's words, and of course the matter of apprenticeship was rejected again: "No, I have to go to the lecture hall, because the five divisions of the imperial court will select outstanding talents among the graduates of the lecture martial arts hall every year, and joining the five divisions can not only receive a salary, but it will also be easier to find a job outside after retiring." ”
"What the hell, you spent a lot of money to learn martial arts in the academy, just to find a job, so why don't you use this money directly to do business, maybe you will earn more in the future." ”
"So how can you do business with a little money...... And if you don't learn some kung fu now, it's not easy to do anything, and for ordinary people, practicing martial arts is the only chance to turn over. ”
"Oh. Thirteen replied lightly.
“......”
Silence returned to the cave, and Huang Guiyun didn't know what to say any more.
He couldn't see the expression on Thirteen's face, and he didn't know what was contained in the bland "oh" just now, but he felt that Thirteen's back seemed to be bent a little?
Huang Guiyun didn't know the impact of his few words on Thirteen.
Back then, everyone came out to roam the rivers and lakes, for the sake of freedom and freedom, but I didn't expect that after so many years, martial arts seems to have become a job for everyone to beg for a living, doesn't it make the value of martial arts practitioners fall to the ground?
Regarding the matter of talking about Wutang, Thirteen chose to keep it in his heart for the time being, after all, thinking too much would affect his mood.
It doesn't matter how the martial arts have become now, after all, I still have some ability, so I don't even have a way.
Thirteen felt the oppression around him disappear suddenly, so he stopped and raised his torch to make the surroundings a little brighter, as if he had come to a spacious place.
Seeing that the thirteenth who was walking in front stopped, Huang Guiyun asked, "Uncle Thirteen, why did you stop, is the one in front blocked?" ”
