Chen Zhi heard him say this, and then looked at his frightened expression, and he was also a little frightened in his heart, but he never believed in ghosts and gods, and he didn't even believe in what Chen Zheng said about the immortal dream awarding the "National Salvation Policy", let alone that there would be ghosts in this cave. The old soldier was a little unimpressed when he saw him, and said, "Little brother, look at your appearance, you are new." You don't know, it's only been a few years since our Longscale Mountain Cottage was established, and we have all figured out such a complex terrain, but only this cave, none of us who went in it have ever come out alive, including our previous Wuzhai master. After the master of the five villages died in the cave, everyone dared not go in, and the master of the big village made this cave a forbidden place, and no one dared to enter it again. ”

Chen Zhi heard that there were dead people inside, although he still didn't believe that there were ghosts inside, but he didn't dare to rush in again, thanked the veteran, and quickly walked away.

Chen Zhi walked for a long time but did not find the cellar, so he had to go back to the cell, and he did not know how to explain to those people, but he saw that the guards were drunk and fell asleep on the ground and table.

Chen Zhi saw that the guards were asleep and quietly walked to the door of the cell. When the people in the prison heard the snoring outside, they all leaned on the cell door and asked, "Are all the guards outside asleep?" Chen Zhi nodded, and those people hurriedly said: "Then you go and steal the key and let us out." Chen Zhi shook his head and said, "Even if they steal the key, their number is far greater than ours, and we can't escape." Besides, the road outside here is complicated, and it is difficult to find out. You should bear with me, reinforcements are coming soon. When the people saw that he did not want to save him now, they could not help but scold, saying that he was unkind and unjust, and some said that he was as cowardly as a mouse. Chen Zhi felt that these people were unreasonable, so he left them and left.

The next day, Chen Zhi didn't dare to see everyone in the prison again, so he stayed in the back mountain early and waited for Mu Kang to come to connect. Finally, at noon, Chen Zhi saw movement in the grass outside the fence, and quietly slipped over while no one was paying attention.

I saw Ma Yibing and the two young men he had seen hiding outside, Chen Zhi himself did not hold grudges, and he did not have a bad feeling towards Zheng Yan and Han Lian, but Han Lian looked at him with a contemptuous look at him, which made Chen Zhi quite uncomfortable, but he didn't take it to heart. Ma Yibing said softly: "Brother Chen, Senior Mu asked us to sneak in from the back mountain, saying that you would pick us up, we are here, and you are really here." What do we do now?"

Before Chen Zhi could speak, Han Lianxian said: "What else can I do?" Of course, I lurked in and killed them by surprise, took their leader hostage, and forced them to release those friends of yours. Chen Zhi only felt that Han Lian's voice was quite familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it. He listened to Han Lian's opinion and objected: "No, I clearly feel in this cottage that day these bandits are all desperate, if their leader is desperate, then not only will we not be able to save people, but even we will get into it." ”

Han Lian said disdainfully: "Who are you to be this bandit? I don't believe that they are not afraid of death, if you dare not participate, you will honestly watch the wind outside the gate, and we will not force it." Zheng Yan hurriedly said: "Third Senior Brother, what Brother Chen said makes sense, we can't act rashly, let's sneak in and observe first." Ma Yibing also nodded yes.

Although Han Lian was extremely reluctant, it was difficult to refute when he saw that everyone had the same opinion, so he had to agree. The three of them took advantage of the change of guards and slipped in with light skills. Han Lian grabbed the three people, directly twisted their necks, then changed into their clothes and threw the corpses directly down the mountain. The other three were very unbearable, Han Lian smiled and said: "If the eldest husband wants to succeed, if he is not ruthless and decisive, it will definitely be bad, if these three people don't kill, if they reveal our whereabouts, it will be very bad for us, so we have to kill." Chen Zhi said: "If the husband wants to succeed, decisiveness is needed, but when it comes to ruthlessness, it is redundant." Han Lian was furious and was about to argue with Chen Zhi, Zheng Yan was worried about alarming the guards, so he hurriedly separated the two. Han Lian walked to another place in a huff. Zheng Yan was on the side, and he only felt very strange: Han Lian usually has a good temper and rarely gets angry, but when he sees Chen Zhi today, he easily loses his temper, which is really incomprehensible, could it be that he is helping Zhang Renjie and them to take revenge?

The four of them decided to find out the route of this cottage first, but it took most of the day without a clue. Han Lian couldn't help but say angrily: "If you knew this, you should have listened to me and arrested their village master." Zheng Yan said: "Why don't we raid the cell today, release them directly, and run away directly at night." Chen Zhi shook his head and said: "No, we haven't even figured out the route, if we let people go but can't get out, it will be dangerous." Han Lian said: "Then how did you find the cell?" Chen Zhi smiled bitterly: "It's all random walking, but after walking, it always takes half a day to walk to the back mountain or the council hall." ”

Han Lian listened to Chen Dao's answer, and said unhappily: "This damn bird cottage, I don't believe that these roads have no rules at all, I'll go and investigate again." Zheng Yan sighed, didn't follow, and sat down with Chen Zhi and Ma Yibing to rest.

It took a lot of trouble for the four of them to find the cell, Ma Yibing got in touch with the people in the cell, everyone was still quite dissatisfied with Chen Dao, and Han Lian also took the opportunity to mock Chen Dao. When Chen Zhi heard this, he didn't want to entangle with these people too much, so he left alone. Zheng Yan chased after him and said, "Brother Chen, my senior brother really doesn't know what's wrong, he is targeting you everywhere, please don't take it to heart." Chen Zhi sighed and said, "Brother Zheng, I don't blame him, let me go and relax alone." Zheng Yan stopped following him and returned to his cell.

Chen Zhi reluctantly walked to the back mountain, and said in his heart: "These people have no relatives with me, I am kind enough to help them, not only do they not appreciate it at all, but they speak ill of me, can I save them?" After thinking for a while, he said in his heart: "That's it, since the eldest husband is determined to help the world and benefit the people, why should he care about this? It is my decision to save them, and how to treat me is their behavior, how can I force others?" Thinking of this, his mood recovered, and he rushed back to help.

At night, Fang Zong, the second master of the bandits, led people to inspect the cottage. Han Lian wanted to capture him alive, but Chen Zhi and Zheng Yan took a lot of effort to hold him back, only to see that he took a few of his subordinates and was very skilled everywhere, and there was no mistake in re-leaving. Han Lian couldn't help but say proudly: "This bird cottage must have a rule, otherwise with these hillbillies, I don't believe they can go so smoothly." Chen Zhi suddenly thought of the veteran and said, "I know a veteran here, I'll go look for him, maybe I can ask something." And he turned and walked away. Zheng Yan and the three of them had to wander around the cell.

Chen Zhi walked not far away, and got lost again, but happened to bump into Fang Zong, Fang Zong saw him wandering around in a daze, and asked, "Boy, are you lost?" Chen Zhi quickly shook his head, but Fang Zong smiled and said: "It seems that you are new here, tell you, why do you have a pattern on the road of the cottage, starting from the council hall, and walking down towards the road with three knife marks on the wall of the road, you can reach the back mountain." If you have two scars and one scar, you don't need to dig deeper, and you have to remember it yourself when you find your own residence. ”

Chen Zhi didn't notice that there were still knife marks on the wall, listened to his instructions, quickly thanked him, and turned to leave. Fang Zong showed a chilling smile, and the subordinates behind him asked in a low voice: "Second Village Master, why did you lie to him?" Fang Zong said with a smile: "When you enter our cottage, the first thing you need to do is to be familiar with the laws of our roads, this person doesn't know anything about our roads, but he can still come in, obviously using improper methods." A few of our old brothers have disappeared inexplicably these days, but the number is not very small, and I think they must have caught our old brothers and mixed in. Tomorrow night I will tell my eldest brother to call everyone and I will definitely catch them. ”

The subordinate also smiled and said: "The path you pointed out to him is a forbidden land, even if they can escape from the council hall, they will flee directly to the forbidden land, so that they will kill themselves without us taking action personally." Fang Zong smiled: "That's right. ”

Chen Zhi hurriedly went back and told the three of them about it, Han Lian was skeptical, and said, "It's that simple? Could these knife marks really mean this?" Chen Zhi said: "If you don't believe it, you can try it." Han Lian was about to try, Zheng Yan hurriedly grabbed him and said: "No, it's too late now, only the people patrolling the camp can move around the village at will, let's try it now, we will show our feet." Han Lianxin said: "Even if I show my feet, what can they do to me?" But after all, the junior brother was reasonable, so he had to give up.

In the early morning of the next day, Han Lian was about to go to the method of Fang Religion to test, but a thief came to give an order: "Listen to each cave, the lord of Dazhai has an order: go to the council hall collectively tonight, except for the change of guards during the day today, everyone is not allowed to leave their caves." Han Lian was puzzled and said, "Chen Dao, did you show any flaws yesterday? Why did they give this order inexplicably." Chen Zhi was puzzled: "Why is this order related to me?" Zheng Yan hurriedly explained: "Tonight's deliberation is likely to expose our flaws, so we can't escape from this order now." ”

Ma Yibing said hurriedly: "Then what should we do?" Zheng Yan said: "Don't worry, I'm not sure if it's related to us yet, or it's better to wait and see what happens." Han Lian said unhappily: "Senior brother, according to our identity, it is really shameless to bow our heads under these thieves, and if I continue to do this, I will have to do it." Zheng Yan hurriedly persuaded him and said, "Okay, senior brother, if we can't figure out this cottage tomorrow, we will do what you say, how about it?"

At noon, the whole cottage was silent, and the four of them were idle and bored in their cells, when suddenly they heard a noise, and many thieves rushed out of their respective caves. The four of them didn't know what was going on, and suddenly, a small leader came up and said, "Someone is coming to attack the cottage, and the owner of the big village has an order to come to the council hall in advance." Han Lian said in a low voice: "There is no direct connection between these two things, I'm afraid this discussion is not a good thing." Zheng Yan replied in a low voice: "Having said that, you still have to go and take a look, otherwise you will be exposed." Chen Zhi knew that something was wrong, so he had an idea, covered his stomach and said, "Oops, my stomach hurts, I want to go to the thatched house." The little leader glanced at him and said displeasedly: "Hurry up, come here when you're done, and you guys will come with me." Then he took Zheng Yan and the other three and other guards away.

Yuan Qisan, the third master of the bandits, heard that someone was challenging outside the village, he didn't know how thick the sky was, and rushed to the gate with more than a dozen men, only to see a delicate girl standing outside the gate, dressed in yellow, but it was Chu Zhao.

In fact, Chu Zhao had already arrived at Dragon Scale Mountain, although she set off nearly a day later than Zhang Renjie, but Tai Wuyun was really fast, and Zhang Renjie had to constantly find a route according to the "wine five scattered", so he was surpassed by Chu Zhao a lot. After Chu Zhao found Mu Kang, Mu Kang suggested that she borrow Zhang Renjie to break the Dragon Scale Mountain Cottage, Chu Zhao stayed to find a way and waited for Zhang Renjie to come, and when he was looking for taste, he would lead him to the gate of the Dragon Scale Mountain Cottage.

Yuan Qisan didn't recognize Chu Zhao, but it was the first time in his life that he saw such a beautiful and lovely girl, and his aggressive attitude just now suddenly dissipated by more than half, and asked, "Girl, what are you doing here?" Chu Zhao smiled: "Don't you know? I'm here to camp." ”

Before Yuan Qisan could speak, his subordinates behind him smiled lewdly: "Little sister, it's too dangerous here, you better not come here to play, but what if you want to join us?

Chu Zhao pursed his lips and scolded, "Rascal, look at my helper." After saying that, he pointed behind him, and saw Zhang Renjie running towards the cottage. Although the thieves didn't recognize Zhang Renjie, they didn't take it to heart when they saw that he was alone. Zhang Renjie stopped behind Chu Zhao and asked, "Little junior sister, is your friend in this cottage?" Chu Zhao nodded and said, "Yes, but whether you can go in depends on your ability." ”

Zhang Renjie listened, smiled slightly, and said: "It's a joke to hide in this broken cottage and want to escape with your life." Did he think that this kind of backing would be able to keep him?" After saying that, he jumped up and jumped directly over the fence of the gate, and when Chu Zhao saw this, he also used light skills to jump in.

Yuan Qisan and the others were taken aback when they saw these two people coming in lightly and skillfully, and walked forward with a steel knife, saying, "Boy, what do you want to do when you come in like this?" Zhang Renjie didn't say a word, and slapped his neck with a heavy palm, this palm actually used ten percent of the force to directly break his bones, Yuan Qisan didn't snort, and passed out. Seeing this, the others shouted, and each danced weapon stepped forward, Zhang Renjie killed several people with a few palms, and the others didn't dare to step forward and ran away. Zhang Renjie glanced around contemptuously, strode in, and Chu Zhao also sneaked in.

Chen Zhi walked around in the cottage, and because he couldn't start from the council hall, he didn't have a clue about walking. Zhang Renjie walked to the cottage and saw that there were countless road twists and turns, so he didn't think too much and picked one casually, but the more he walked, the more dizzy he became, and he just wandered around in countless roads.

Chen Zhi walked a long way away, met a person head-on, and looked at it, but it was Zhang Renjie, so frightened that he turned around and ran. Zhang Renjie came back to his senses, roared angrily, and chased after Chen Zhi, Chen Zhi ran violently for a while, but the road was relatively narrow, and the speed could not be used, and Zhang Renjie gradually caught up.

Du Shuai, Fang Zong, and Pan Dayong convened most of the people to discuss in the conference hall, and Du Shuai said: "Recently, we found out that there are moles in our cottage, and now, all our brothers are talking about how to find these moles. Immediately afterward, Fang Zong gathered everyone to take turns to express their views.

Chu Zhao sneaked near the conference hall, just heard Du Shuai's words, and knew that something was wrong, so he hid behind the big pillar where Ma Yibing and the other three were standing. It was the turn of the three of them, Han Lian and Zheng Yan learned from the people in front of them and pretended to talk about it, but they were all confused. When Ma Yibing arrived, Ma Yibing didn't dare to speak, and Fang Zong in front of her was suspicious: "Why don't you speak? Are you a spy?" Ma Yibing blurted out: "No······ It's not ······" Du Shuai sat on the tiger skin chair, heard Ma Yibing's words, and immediately said with joy: "How can there be a woman in my cottage?

Ma Yibing was at a loss, and just said, "I······ I ······" There can be no more justification. Fang Zong drew his sword and slashed at Ma Yibing, Zheng Yan next to him quickly made a move and slashed at his wrist, Fang Zong's arm hurt, he couldn't hold it, and the long sword flew out of his hand. Chu Zhao jumped out from behind the pillar, grabbed his veins with one hand, pinched his neck with the other, and said, "All retreat, or you will kill him!" Han Lian and Zheng Yan also each pulled out their long swords to protect her.

Du Shuai and Pan Dayong hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Don't hurt my brother!" Chu Zhao said: "All stand back." Du Shuai hurriedly commanded the thieves to retreat, although the four of them captured Fang Zong as a hostage, they were still trapped in the conference hall, not to mention saving Zhao Zeliang and them, even if they wanted to escape, it would not be easy for them to escape. Han Lian said in a low voice: "I'll go and save those people first." He shouted, "Call a prison guard to take me to my cell." Du Shuai didn't dare to disobey, and sent someone to take him there, and the remaining two sides continued to confront each other.

Suddenly, a sound came from outside the hall, it turned out to be Chen Zhi and Zhang Renjie, you chased me and ran here. Chu Zhao had an idea, and one person escorted Fang Zong to the center of the hall, and smiled at Du Shuai: "My helper is here, you are finished." With that, she let go of Fang Zong and pushed him out a few steps, and Fang Zong hurriedly retreated behind the bandits.

Seeing that Fang Zong had escaped, Du Shuai sat back on the tiger skin chair and said with a smile: "What helper, let him come and take a look." Chu Zhao immediately gathered his internal strength and said loudly: "Suffer death, our eldest brother is here!"

Chen Zhi, who was not far away, heard Chu Zhao's shouting and knew that she had also blended into the cottage, but he didn't know what she meant by shouting so loudly. The two had chased into the hall, Zhang Renjie thought that Chu Zhao was shouting to him, so he asked Chen Zhidao: "My junior sister said that your eldest brother is here, who is he?" Chen Zhi understood what Chu Zhao meant, and quickly pointed at Du Shuai and said with a dry smile: "Haha, our eldest brother is sitting there, are you willing to ······ Certainly not his opponent. ”

Zhang Renjie said angrily: "Just that guy, I'll kill him first, and then I'll take your head." Chen Zhi hurriedly avoided it, and Zhang Renjie swooped towards Du Shuai. Chu Zhao saw that the plan had been achieved, and hurriedly hid beside Zheng Yan and Ma Yibing.

Du Shuai saw a person rushing towards him with a fierce momentum, and raised the big axe beside him to meet the enemy. Zhang Renjie suddenly accelerated, and in a flash, he arrived in front of Du Shuai, Du Shuai's big axe had not yet fallen, Zhang Renjie slapped Du Shuai on the face with all his strength, and the "Mountain Xiaogong" burst out with all his strength, smashing him back into the tiger skin chair, and died instantly. Fang Zong and Pan Dayong saw that their eldest brother was beaten back to the tiger skin chair, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead, so they raised a hammer and a steel knife to attack Zhang Renjie with all the thieves.

Chen Dao, Chu Zhao, Zheng Yan and Ma Yibing saw that the scene was chaotic, and hurriedly took advantage of the chaos to leave, Fang Zong was directing the siege of Zhang Renjie, shouting: "The guards go after the four undercover agents!" Among the bandits, a group of people chased after the four people, Zheng Yan pushed Chen Zhi and said: "Quick! Go to the back mountain according to the method you inquire." Chen Zhi hurriedly led the three of them to walk according to the method taught by Fang Zong, and halfway through, he happened to meet Han Lian Zheng with the thirty or forty people walking around like headless flies, it turned out that Han Lian was in a hurry to kill the person who led the way when he arrived in the prison, and as a result, no one led the way, so he couldn't go out.

Everyone followed Chen Zhi and walked around, and at the end, Chen Zhi was stunned to find that he had arrived at the forbidden land. Han Lianqi said: "We don't seem to have been to this small hole yet, are you sure you haven't taken the wrong path?" Chen Zhi said: "It's impossible, that's what he said." Chu Zhao said: "Maybe he is bluffing you, we are all fooled." ”

At this time, there was a lot of movement behind him, and Han Lian said: "It seems that they can only be killed, there are not many of them, and under my leadership, they will definitely be able to break through." Zheng Yan asked Chen Zhi and Chu Zhao: "How?" Chen Zhi just wanted to nod, Han Lian said first: "Don't worry, let me take you out, there is one condition, give me the "National Salvation Policy". ”

When Chen Zhi heard him say this, his face sank, and he said: "I can give you whatever you want, but the "National Salvation Policy" must not be. Han Lian sneered: "So, are you planning to die here with this book?" Chen Zhi said coldly: "This is my Chen family's thing, where will it go in the future, and who will be buried with it, I don't need to worry about Han Gongzi." ”

Zhao Zeliang and the thirty or forty people were already prejudiced against Chen Zhi, and when they saw this, they all became noisy, and they were all insulting and urging Chen Zhi, Chu Zhao shouted: "What are you yelling about?

Han Lian said again: "I'll ask you for the last time, give me the "National Salvation Policy", otherwise you can go by yourself." Chen Zhi said: "I will say it one last time, it is absolutely impossible." Han Lian sneered: "Then you can watch it." Turning around and brushing his sleeves away, Zhao Zeliang and the others wanted to call him back, but he ignored him at all.

Zheng Yan was supposed to leave with his senior brother, but when he saw that Han Lian was rude, he didn't want to, so he didn't follow. Seeing that everyone began to blame Chen Dao, he hurriedly said to Chen Dao: "Brother Chen, what should we do now?" Chu Zhao asked: "Gongzi Zheng, don't you go with your senior brother?" Zheng Yan looked at Ma Yibing, saw that there was reluctance in her eyes, and strengthened his determination, and said: "I, Zheng Yan, am willing to live and die with everyone today, and never run for my life." The crowd immediately cheered at him.

The shouting and killing behind him gradually got closer, and Chen Zhi said: "We have few people, we can't go head-to-head with them, now we can only go into this cave to explore, there is no other choice, everyone follow me." The crowd had no choice but to follow. Chen Zhi lowered his head and got into it with difficulty, followed by Zheng Yan, Chu Zhao, Ma Yibing, Zhao Zeliang and others, Chen Zhi walked dozens of steps, and finally became spacious, but it was dark and quiet everywhere, and some timid people couldn't help but scream. Chen Zhi said: "We don't know what the structure of this cave is, everyone touches the wall to move, be careful." When the pursuers outside the cave saw that they had entered the forbidden land, they didn't dare to chase them, but they just sent people to guard the entrance of the cave and reported to Fang Zong and Pan Dayong.

Han Lian performed light skills and avoided the pursuers, but he still couldn't recognize the way, and walked back to the council hall after walking around. Zhang Renjie was surrounded by heavy heavily, and he was even more ruthless, just slapped a person to death with one palm, and two spears behind him pierced his ribs, Zhang Renjie spread his arms and clamped the two spears, Fang Zong and Pan Dayong attacked Zhang Renjie together, Zhang Renjie's "Mountain Xiaogong" burst out from both arms, and fiercely twisted the two spears. With his left hand, he swung the head of the gun and smashed it towards Pan Dayong's steel knife, the heavy internal force knocked him upside down, and his right hand grabbed the half of the gun and stabbed Fang Zong's arm, Fang Zong let go of his hand in pain, and his hammer fell out of his hand and fell into Zhang Renjie's arms. Zhang Renjie threw away the two halves of the gun, grabbed the hammer and smashed it on Fang Zong's head, only to hear a "bang", Fang Zong's brain burst and died tragically in the hall.

When Pan Dayong saw that his second brother was also dead, he shouted angrily: "Give it to me!" Hundreds of thieves swung their knives and spears and slashed at Zhang Renjie, Rao is also extremely brave, and he can't resist it. Just as Han Lian also rushed to the conference hall, Zhang Renjie saw him at a glance, and no matter why he came here, he shouted: "Han Sanye, come and help me." Han Lian also had the heart to help, pulled out his long sword and swept towards the besieging crowd, and hacked three people to death, the crowd was chaotic, Zhang Renjie swept the hammer again, and killed several people, and the scene was even more chaotic. Pan Dayong hurriedly hid in the center of the bandits, and hundreds of bandits surrounded Zhang Renjie and Han Lian in two circles, and fought again.

Chen Zhi and the others walked for a long time in the cave touching the wall, but there was no progress, Zhao Zeliang said impatiently: "After walking for so long, when will you be able to go out?" Ma Yibing hurriedly said: "Brother Liang, don't talk too much, just follow along." Zheng Yan said: "We have no way out, going out is death, only by going down can we live." The others who wanted to complain didn't speak.

Chen Zhi took a few more steps, but he felt that he had come to the end, Zheng Yan also reached out and touched the front, and said, "There are walls in front, it seems that there is no way." When the crowd heard him say this, they immediately became noisy and insulted Chen Zhi and led them to a dead end. Chu Zhao shouted angrily: "It's you who are willing to follow up, and it's not your uncle and brother who forced you, if you really die here, can we escape?" When everyone heard this, they slowly quieted down, and Zhao Zeliang said in his heart: "Now I can only believe in you first, and if you can't get out, I will clean you up." ”

Chen Zhi said: "The veteran told me that these bandits had died in the cave, and they didn't go in to clean up the corpses, so there should be human bones here, if there are no bones, there must be a way out." When everyone heard this, they began to look for the bones, and Chen Zhi also pulled out his long sword and kept poking at the ground to find it.

After about half an hour, the people who were scouting everywhere came back dejectedly and said, "No. Only Zhao Zeliang and Zheng Yan are still exploring. The crowd touched the wall and waited quietly next to their place.

Chen Zhi and Chu Zhao sat in place and didn't follow, Chen Zhi stroked Chu Zhao's hair in the dark, and sighed: "Xiao Zhao, it's all my fault for trapping you here." Chu Zhao leaned his head on Chen Zhi's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhi, brother, I said that I would always be with you, and since we are trapped here together today, Xiao Zhao has no regrets." Chen Zhi touched her face and said, "That's it, if you die, why don't you two die together." Chu Zhao also said: "Okay, Xiao Zhao also died with Uncle Zhi's brother." ”

Zhao Zeliang and Zheng Yan looked for a while, Zhao Zeliang sighed and said, "Alas, there is no here." When they heard this, they sighed and dispersed.

Zheng Yan said: "No, there is something strange here. Everyone gathered around again, Zhao Zeliang said disdainfully: "I touched it, it's all walls here, what's wrong?" Zheng Yan smiled: "The walls here are different, the soil here is soft, I think there may be a dark passage here." ”

Zhao Zeliang said: "Secret Dao? I'll try it." Without waiting for Zheng Yan to answer, he rushed forward and pushed the wall, but there was no movement. Zhao Zeliang jokingly said: "Where is the secret way you are talking about?" Ma Yibing saw him so rude, grabbed him and said, "Brother Liang, don't be like this." Zhao Zeliang said unhappily: "Senior sister, don't help this outsider." Zheng Yan knew that he was holding Ma Yibing's hand, suppressing his anger, and said with a smile: "You try it with more force." Zhao Zeliang snorted, let go of Ma Yibing and slammed into the wall, the mud wall collapsed instantly, but the wall was not only thin but also empty at the back, Zhao Zeliang couldn't control his body, screamed, and fell directly into it.

Ma Yibing screamed in surprise and was about to rush over to save her, but Zheng Yan hurriedly stopped her and said, "I'll go first, you will follow behind." He shouted to Chen Zhi and Chu Zhao again: "Brother Chen, you have found your way." Chen Zhi and Chu Zhao were talking about love, and after listening to Zheng Yan's shouting, they immediately walked over in the direction of the voice.

Zheng Yan said: "Presumably this is the secret passage in this cave, Brother Chen, I will go down first, and you and Miss Chu and Miss Ma will follow behind." Chen Zhi nodded, Zheng Yan held the mud walls on both sides with both hands, and walked in cautiously, this dark passage was quite steep, Chen Zhi was defenseless, just went in and stepped into the air, fell down suddenly, and landed on Zheng Yan's back. Zheng Yan was struggling to slowly descend, and suddenly there was an extra Chen Dao on his back, and his hands suddenly couldn't hold the weight on his body, and the two screamed in unison, and both fell down.

Chu Zhao had just taken out two daggers from his waist, when he heard the screams of the two, and hurriedly stepped forward to save him, but the result was also a foot in the air, and she was about to fall, so she hurriedly inserted the daggers in both hands on the mud walls on both sides, so she didn't fall.

Chen Zhi and Zheng Yan fell heavily, only to feel that they fell on the soft object, and did not feel great pain, Zhao Zeliang was cushioned by the water, but he also fell in severe pain, and was hit hard by the two of them, and couldn't help screaming: "You bastard!"

Zheng Yan was also hurt by Zhao Zeliang's bones, and when he heard that he was still scolding, he also slapped Zhao Zeliang in the face, Zhao Zeliang was in great pain, so he didn't dare to say it again. Chen Zhi and Zheng Yan got up one after another, Zhao Zeliang didn't know who hit him just now, and he didn't dare to scold anymore when he got up.

Chen Zhi shouted loudly: "Xiao Zhao, you guys slow down, let's continue below." Chu Zhao agreed, pulled out the dagger with his left hand, and inserted the dagger into the mud wall in front of him with his left leg, and then moved his right body, and finally went down to the end step by step. Ma Yibing and the others drew gourds in the back, and they all went down safely to the end, but it took a few hours, and everyone's physical strength was consumed a lot.

Everyone found a place to sit down and rest, Zheng Yan saw that everyone was a little weak, reached out to test the depth of the water, and felt that the water was cold and biting, overflowing his ankles. Said: "Listening to the sound of the water here should be constantly flowing, so follow the sound of the water and you will definitely find a way out, everyone is tired, so I and Brother Chen and Brother Zhao will go to explore the way first." Chen Zhi stood up, but Zhao Zeliang didn't die, and said, "No, I seem to have fallen and injured myself just now, so let's go explore the way." Zheng Yan didn't force him, snorted coldly, and walked with Chen Zhi along the sound of the water.

Chu Zhao pulled Ma Yibing to the dark place, and said secretly: "Sister Ma, I don't think you can do it as a sweetheart, why are you tired?" Ma Yibing shook his head helplessly, and said: "When you are in danger, you can see a person clearly, sister, don't say that he is my sweetheart in the future, I will not entrust him with the future." ”

Hearing Ma Yibing say this, Chu Zhao was a little surprised in his heart, he didn't expect her to change so quickly, and said: "Zhao Zeliang is now reflected in my eyes is recklessness, small energy, and incompetence are all just trivial matters, but his sense of responsibility to the collective is the most disappointing, Sister Ma, how did you know him, can you tell me? Anyway, we may have to separate after we go out." ”

Ma Yibing sighed and said, "Okay, sister, do you know who my father is?" Chu Zhao thought for a while and said, "Is it a Jianghu person or a political figure surnamed Ma?" Ma Yibing nodded and said, "My father's name is Ma Yuanyi, and he was the leader of Luoyang in the Yellow Turban Uprising ten years ago. At the mention of his father, Ma Yibing couldn't help but burst into tears.

When Chu Zhao heard her say that her father was Ma Yuanyi, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Your father is Ma Yuanyi, is he the Neiying lurking in Luoyang?" Ma Yibing nodded and said: "Yes, he was betrayed by the traitor Tang Zhou, and was finally executed by Ling Chi, and my two best uncles, Chen Jiu and Zhao Hun, were killed in order to protect my father······" Recalling the death of her relatives, Ma Yibing couldn't bear it anymore, tears slid down her face, although Chu Zhao couldn't see her in the dark, he could hear her crying, and reached out to wipe the tears on her face.

Ma Yibing said again: "Later, the court officials who arrested my father relented for a while and let me go, I was rescued by Uncle Lu, and after a lot of hardships, I was finally taken in by the Zhao gang leader of the Tianheng Gang. My Ma Yibing has always had kindness and revenge in this life, and I have firmly remembered those who arrested my father, and one day I will make them pay the price······" Chu Zhao heard that she had such ambitions, and he didn't agree with it in his heart, so he changed the topic and said: "Sister, I think that Zheng Gongzi is good, since you have decided not to follow that Zhao Zeliang, do you want to consider Zheng Gongzi?"

After these days of life with Zheng Yan, Ma Yibing also had an unusual feeling for Zheng Yan, Chu Zhao asked like this, Ma Yibing's face suddenly flushed, and he stammered: "It's still ······ It's okay. Although Chu Zhao couldn't see her face in the dark, he also guessed seven or eight points, and said with a smile: "Okay, sister, I will help you, and I will definitely find a reliable person for your sister." ”

Chen Zhi and Zheng Yan touched the stone wall, walked slowly with the flow of water, walked not far away and listened to the sound of the water, Zheng Yan said: "Brother Chen, listen, I feel that the terrain has changed." Chen Zhi also understood, lowered his body to look for the flow of water, touched a hole, and said, "Brother Zheng, it seems that you are going to prepare to go down now." Zheng Yan also leaned down, stretched out his hand to feel the hole, and said: "This hole is really small, you can only climb one by one, if you don't get stuck in it, it will be over." ”

"yes. Chen Zhizheng reached out and touched it, grabbed an object at once, and said strangely: "What is this?" and grabbed it out. Zheng Yan stretched out his hand and touched it, and said, "It seems to be a human bone." ”

"Human bones?" the two looked at each other in the dark.

"Wow!" the two of them screamed, and ran back all the way according to their feelings, regardless of whether they could see the road or not.

Chu Zhao and Ma Yibing were the first to hear the voice, and hurriedly went up to stop the two, Zhao Zeliang heard the two of them so embarrassed, and couldn't help but say proudly: "What, you have met a ghost?" Chen Zhi panted and said: "No······ It's not a ghost, it's a human······ Human bones. Zhao Zeliang said disdainfully: "Dead people are afraid of being like this, it's really a shame." When Chu Zhao heard him say that Chen Zhi was timid, he immediately said unhappily: "It sounds like you are very bold, then please come and take everyone away." Zhao Zeliang was actually very frightened in his heart, but he didn't have a choice, so he boldly said: "Okay, I'll take you out." ”

Zheng Yan sneered slightly in his heart and said, "Okay, I'll lead the way, you lead the team, let's go." And he led them all to the hole. When he arrived at the entrance of the cave, Zhao Zeliang touched the hole and the bones in the hole, only to feel creepy, where did he dare to take the lead in it······? This hole looks like a dead end, I look at me······ Let's find another way. Zheng Yan sneered: "The water flows out of this hole, how can there be any other way out?" If you want to find it, go find it, and I will take the lead." With that, he lowered himself and plunged into the cave.

Zhao Zeliang just wanted to kick Zheng Yan's ass, but he didn't dare to do so, so he had to retreat to the back and sulk. After Chen waited for Zheng Yan to go in, he also followed, Chu Zhao and Ma Yibing followed, Zhao Zeliang waited for Ma Yibing to go in and immediately followed her, and others didn't dare to rob him.

Zheng Yan crawled through the narrow cave with difficulty, and found that this section was full of dead human bones, and about five or six people died here, but he didn't understand why these people died in this cave. Chu Zhao and Ma Yibing touched a lot of bones, although Ma Yibing couldn't see these bones in the dark, he was so frightened that he subconsciously closed his eyes. Chu Zhao groped carefully, and felt a sharp dagger in the last bone, and probably understood a little in his heart.

Everyone climbed in the cave with difficulty for a few hours, Zheng Yan in front of him only felt exhausted, and the narrower and narrower road made it more difficult for him to breathe, Chen Zhi's situation was slightly better, but his internal strength was not as good as Zheng Yan, and he was only panting when he got to the back. Chu Zhao was petite, and it was easier to get up, and when he heard Chen Zhi's wheezing in front, he cared in the back: "Uncle Zhi, are you okay?" Chen Zhi replied with difficulty: "It's okay." ”

Climbing another section, Zheng Yan only felt that his chest, abdomen and waist and back were stuck between the stones, and he took a breath with his internal strength, moving forward inch by inch, but unfortunately the downward slope of that section was larger, he only felt that his brain was seriously congested, and he was a little dizzy, so he quickly focused on his acupoints, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. Chen Zhi's figure was stronger than him, and he was also a little stuck behind him, Zheng Yan said: "Brother Chen, if you are stuck, urge the internal force to take a breath and drill forward." Because the space was too small, only Chen Zhi and Chu Zhao could hear his words, Chen Zhi did so, but Chu Zhao was worried: "Zheng Gongzi, will there be people stuck in front?" Chen Zhi said first: "Don't be afraid, continue to climb forward." Zhao Zeliang in the back was already exhausted, and after listening to Chu Zhao's words, he especially hoped that Chen Zhi and Zheng Yan would not be able to move, and he felt that he suddenly had strength, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, Brother Chen is right, when you get here, you can't turn back, climb quickly." ”

Zheng Yan stretched out his hand to reach forward, touched the void, and said happily: "It's over! I'll go out and have a look first." Brother Chen, stay away from me. He took a breath, kicked his legs against the stone wall behind him, and the long-prepared "Huanhu Gong" burst out from his legs.

Although Chen Zhi heard what he said, stay away from him so as not to be affected, he was stuck in a dilemma, so he had to protect his head with his arms, only to feel a strong internal force attacking him, pushing him back a few inches.

Zheng Yan exerted all his strength, and then he rushed out of the hole, only to feel that his body was empty, and he fell into the water. Zheng Yan hurriedly stretched out his legs and wanted to fall to the bottom of the water, but the depth of the water far exceeded his height, he couldn't swim, and he couldn't lift his internal strength for a while, so he couldn't help shouting.

Chen Zhi suddenly heard Zheng Yan calling for help, and he didn't know what was going on, so he asked loudly: "Brother Zheng, what's the matter?" Zheng Yan drank a few sips of water and shouted with difficulty: "I won't ······ Water ······ Help me ······" Chen Zhi was taken aback and tried his best to move forward, but he was stuck in place and couldn't move.

Chu Zhao said behind him: "Uncle Zhi, go and save Brother Zheng." Chen Zhi was stuck between the stone walls, and reluctantly shouted: "Xiao Zhao, you push me." Chu Zhao took a step forward and pushed hard towards Chen Zhi's feet, but to no avail. Chen Zhi said: "Urge your internal force and push your ass." When Chu Zhao heard him say push his ass, he couldn't help but be stunned, and said, "Ah?" Chen Zhi said again: "Yes, push your ass, quickly!" Zheng Yan's movement struggling in the water became bigger and bigger, and Chu Zhao had no choice but to push Chen Zhi hard.

Chen Zhi desperately lifted his breath, drilled forward, and his head drilled out, and he vaguely saw the splash in front of him. Chu Zhao had just urged the "Mountain Xiaogong" but his hand slipped, and his hands probed forward, only to feel that he had touched something soft. Chu Zhao was ashamed, and quickly retracted his hand, his face flushed.

Chen Zhi only felt that his face was hot, and he shouted helplessly: "Push it quickly, I'll go out immediately." Chu Zhao said shamefully: "Push it there again······ What should I do then?" Chen Zhi said angrily: "Brother Zheng is going to die, don't worry about it so much." Chu Zhao had no choice but to step forward again, sending out internal force to push forward, Chen Zhi used all his strength, pulled his hands out of the hole, pressed hard towards the rock wall, and finally drilled out of the hole and fell into the water.

Zheng Yan lost most of his physical strength, and he didn't care who was in front of him, so he hugged Chen Zhi suddenly, and Chen Zhi exclaimed: "Let go, otherwise we will die together." Zheng Yan shouted: "I can't control myself anymore, hurry up and let me go acupuncture." Chen Zhi pointed towards his "shoulder well point", how could his strength be insufficient, Zheng Yan only felt a pain in the acupoint, but his body was still moving, his legs kept thrashing in the water, and he kicked Chen Zhi fiercely. Chen was in great pain, and Zheng Yan's arms, who broke free with all his might, locked his right arm with both arms, and said, "You do it yourself." Zheng Yan struggled to stretch out his left arm and hit his "shoulder well point", and then stopped struggling.

Chen Zhi struggled to carry him on his back and climbed onto a rock, panting for breath. Chu Zhao's voice came from the cave: "How is it? Have you been rescued?" Chen Zhi responded: "It's rescued, don't rush out first." With a sigh of relief, he unlocked Zheng Yan's acupoint.

Zheng Yan escaped death and sighed: "After you go out, you must learn to swim first." Chen Zhi said: "Don't worry, as long as we can go out, we can learn anything." ”

Zheng Yan glanced at Chen Zhi in the dark, and suddenly said, "Brother Chen, how about you and I worship as brothers?" Chen Zhi was startled by his sudden words, and said, "You······ Are you serious?" Zheng Yan arched his hand and said, "Brother Chen saved my life regardless of the danger, Zheng Yan has nothing to repay, I only hope that I can share life and death with Brother Chen in the future." Although Chen Zhi had only been with him for a few days, he could see that he was a person of great affection, so he replied: "Okay, Brother Zheng, I also have this intention." The two talked about their age, and Chen was six months older and became his brother. But because they were in the dark and couldn't figure out the terrain, the two could only bow the rocks for eight times. Chu Zhao could hear it clearly in the cave, and he was also very happy in his heart.

The two sat down on the rock again, and Zheng Yan took out a dark gray dagger from his arms, which also showed a hint of luster in the dark cave. Chen Zhi was puzzled: "This is ······" Zheng Yan said with a smile: "When I worshiped under the master just now, the master gave me this gray blade, and now I don't have anything else but this dagger, this dagger is extremely tough and can help the eldest brother defend himself." Then he handed the dagger to Chen Zhi with both hands.

Chen Zhi took it with both hands and said, "I haven't prepared anything, so I'll give you this." After that, he took out a sleeve arrow from his sleeve and said, "This is the sleeve arrow that my father gave me before his death, and it is also the only relic he left me, and I am not willing to use it at the moment of crisis." Now, here you go, Brother Yan. Zheng Yan said: "Since this is the only relic left by the eldest brother's father, it is better for you to keep it, the eldest brother." Chen Zhi shook his head and said, "No need, every time I see this Hidden Arrow, it will bring back my sad memories." Let's put it down, there's still a longer way to go. ”

Zheng Yanzheng took the Sleeve Arrow and placed it in his sleeve. Suddenly hearing a coquettish laugh, Chen Zhi asked, "Xiao Zhao, what are you laughing at?" Chu Zhao poked his head out of the cave and said with a smile: "How long are you two going to talk? He married Jin Lan with Chen Zhiyi, and he regarded Chu Zhao as his sister-in-law for a long time, so his name for Chu Zhao also changed.

Chu Zhao cautiously landed on the rock, turned around and pulled Ma Yibing out, both of them were very thin, so they got out easily. Ma Yibing also heard Chen Zhi and Zheng Yan's words in the cave, and came out and said, "Congratulations to the two of you." The two scratched their heads embarrassedly, and Chu Zhao hurriedly broke the deadlock and said, "This place is different from the previous cave, it feels like sunlight is shining in." Zheng Yan nodded and said, "This place seems to be closed, but we can still breathe, and there must be a way to go." ”

Chen Zhi and Ma Yibing's reactions were far inferior to them, so they had to listen intently. I only heard Chu Zhao say again: "The water here flows very slowly, but you can still find an exit according to the flow of water." Chen Zhi jumped into the water, felt it for a while, and said, "The water is converging to the right, and the specific direction is downward." Chu Zhao nodded and said, "I'll try it." Chen Zhi hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, the water is too cold, don't come down for you girl." Chu Zhao's heart was sweet, so he didn't leave.

Zheng Yan said: "Let's pull them out first, there is a lot of strength in numbers." Chen Zhi and Zheng Yan climbed to the entrance of the cave, and after half an hour, they pulled out Zhao Zeliang and others, and after more than half an hour, more than 20 people were pulled out, and everyone groped their way to the rock and sat on it. When all the seats were filled, there were still more than a dozen people in the cave. Zhao Zeliang returned to the entrance of the cave and shouted: "There is no place, you can be wronged." Although the people in the cave were not convinced, they did not dare to contradict him.

Everyone rested for a while, and Chen Zhi said, "If you know how to water, follow me down to check it out." Immediately, several people responded, and Chen Zhi handed over the "National Salvation Policy" to Chu Zhao and said, "Xiao Zhao, don't get this book wet." Chu Zhao nodded. Ma Yibing was on the side, and seeing that Zhao Zeliang never spoke, he couldn't help but say, "Senior Brother Zhao, your water is very good, go and help." Zhao Zeliang saw that her name for herself had changed, and his heart was even more unhappy, and he lay on his rock angrily, and said, "When will I get better in water? Put on a "you're all helpless about me" expression.

Although Zheng Yan couldn't see his movements and expressions, he could hear his tone, and he was extremely disgusted with him in his heart, and said: "Go and go, what is there to dare a manly man?" Chen Zhi hurriedly said: "Brother Yan, you are not good at water, it is better to stay here and take care of everyone." Ma Yibing also said: "Yes, Brother Yan, you better pay attention to safety and stay on it." ”

Zheng Yan heard Ma Yibing call himself "Brother Yan", and he was indescribably comfortable, so he said: "Okay, big brother, you take them to check, come back and ask me for help if you have any difficulties, pay attention to safety." Chen Zhi nodded, and Zhao Zeliang laughed and said, "What kind of manly man? It turned out to be blown out." Zheng Yan didn't care about his agitation at all, leaned on the rock wall behind him, hummed a little song and ignored it.

Chen Zhi said: "You know how to water, follow me and find out where there is a way out under the water, three, two, one, jump!" About ten people jumped into the water together, splashing a splash.

Zhao Zeliang was splashed with water and scolded: "Are they all fools? Won't it go down slowly?" Everyone was silent, and no one responded to him, and Zhao Zeliang himself felt bored, so he didn't say anything more.

Chen Zhi took the lead in diving, only to see that the water depth here is about several zhang, and countless aquatic plants grow under the water, Chen Zhi relied on the weak internal force to hold his breath, and after checking the time for a few breaths under the water, he couldn't hold it back, and his legs kicked the bottom of the water and surfaced. The other people who followed him had a worse level of breath-holding, and most of them had to go for ventilation before they could reach the bottom of the water. As soon as Chen Zhi showed up, everyone asked, "How is it?" Chen Zhi sighed: "This water is several zhang deep, and the bottom of the water is full of aquatic plants, my internal strength is too poor to check how much, I have to come up for ventilation, so it will take at least a few days to find the exit." Most of the other people who floated on the surface of the water could not reach the bottom of the water, and they were so ashamed that they did not dare to speak.

Zheng Yan saw that there was a dead silence again, so he had to say, "I'll try it." ”
