Chapter 104: What's in the Cave
Beyond the pool, there was not a wilderness, but a spacious stone chamber, which looked like a bath, and where he was was a bath. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThere is no light in this stone room, the light shines in from a dozen gaps in the stone wall directly above the bath, the gap is not big, the shape is different, but under a closer look, it spells out the appearance of peony flowers, I can't see the depth, I'm afraid that only snakes and rats can enter and exit, but it is the light that shines in these gaps, so that the whole stone room is not too dark.
Xiao Shu was dumbfounded, only to feel an eerie smell with a rancid smell coming to her face, and couldn't help but sneeze before crossing the water to the shore, shouting, "Shadow!" while wringing out his clothes, he walked out of the stone room.
Out of the stone house, it was dark outside. Xiao Shu saw through the dim light from the stone chamber that it was a zigzag passage, all the way up. Xiao Shu touched the stone wall and walked forward, and after walking out of the passage, he felt that his eyes lit up, and the place he went was actually a huge karst cave.
This karst cave has seven or eight zhang high, more than ten zhang wide, the stalactites in the cave are obviously artificially carved, some upside-down stalagmites are carved into the appearance of various birds, although it has been corroded, the appearance is still very realistic, and there is the relief pattern of the flying dragon at the top. There was no light in the whole cave, like the bathroom, and the light came in through some crevices in the top and in the cave, and although it was not very bright, it was enough to see the surroundings and distinguish day and night.
The protruding rocks at the bottom of the cave have also been carved into stone statues of beasts and beautiful women, and some have been carved into exquisite candlesticks, but most of these stone statues and candlesticks have been destroyed, and they are scattered on the ground with dozens of corpses, which is very messy. The dozens of corpses were sitting or lying, or curled up, or broken, and there were weapons next to them, some were judge's pens, some were short guns, some were big knives, some were iron whips, and some were strangely shaped, Xiao Shu had never seen them. Apparently there had been a fierce fight here before.
Xiao Shu looked around again, and found that there were six passages in the eight directions of the cave, and the two directions without passages were opposite, one was a stone wall, and if you looked closely, it looked like a huge stone standing tall, two feet high. On the other side, there are two stone pillars that are enough for two people to hug each other, the stone pillars are carved with the pattern of coiling dragons and auspicious clouds, and there is a throne like an imperial dragon chair in the middle of the two stone pillars, covered with the fur of fierce beasts, and there is a dry bone sitting on it. The stone wall behind the throne is carved with the image of a flying dragon soaring into the sky and calling for wind and rain.
Xiao Shu was hesitating to go to the other passages to see where they led, when he saw Ye Shuying walking out of one of the passages with a candle in his hand.
Ye Shuying glanced at Xiao Shu and said, "You're here." I found something to illuminate. As he spoke, he took out a candle from his bosom, lit it and handed it to Xiao Shu, and hurried to another passage.
Xiao Shu hurriedly followed and asked, "What did you find?"
Ye Shuying said: "In addition to the passage we came out of, I walked the two passages on the left side of the throne, one of which is also a cave at the end, there are six stone gates, behind the stone gate are four bedrooms and two study, there is a secret room in the bedroom, and there are many precious calligraphy and paintings in the study and secret room. Another passage led to several warehouses, where almost everything was found, where the fire sickle and candles were found, and a lot of food, but it was all broken, and I thought there were a few jars of good wine, but unfortunately the jars were empty. ”
It turned out that after he came ashore from the water, he was also taken aback by the development of this mysterious place, so he began to explore the passage on the left side of the throne.
Xiao Shu said with a smile: "There are baths, warehouses, bedrooms, and food, it seems that the owner of this room is going to live here for a long time." I just don't know what kind of place this is, who the owner is, and why there are so many corpses. ”
As they spoke, the two of them each struck on a stone wall, listening to the sound to discern whether there was a hole behind the stone wall, and at the same time looking for a switch button on the stone wall.
A moment later, Ye Shuying and Xiao Shu found buttons on two stone walls at the same time, and the two turned around at the same time to stop each other, but found that each other had found the button, only looked at each other and smiled, and then pressed the switch.
There was a loud "boom", and a stone door on each side of the stone wall was moved to the side, and behind the stone door was a boxy stone room.
There are more than a dozen blades hanging on the stone wall in the stone room that Ye Shuying opened, including knives, swords, whips, spears, hooks, forks and other common weapons, and more than a dozen pieces that Ye Shuying has never seen and can't name. Ye Shuying looked casually, walked to the stone room and knocked on the stone wall, checked the candlestick, and found that there was a mechanism under one of the candlesticks, twisted the mechanism, and another stone door opened, behind the stone door was a small stone room, there was a stone table and four stone frames in the room, two of which were empty, and the other two were placed with a sword and a knife, but there was a dragon-shaped golden whip on the stone table.
Ye Shuying stroked the dragon-shaped golden whip, and said in his heart: "This whip has anti-scales all over the body, not only can it stick to people's blades, so that the opponent's blades can get rid of their hands, but also can stick to hidden weapons; dragon horns can be used to make all kinds of soft blades; this open dragon mouth and straight dragon tongue must also be useful......
Ye Shuying turned around and pulled out the sword on the stone frame, only to hear the sound of "Qiang Chang", the sword made a dragon chant, and Sen Sen's sword qi came straight to him. He couldn't help but lightly slash at the stone frame where Chen Fang put his sword, and the stone frame broke into two pieces like tofu.
Ye Shuying praised: "Good sword!" Inserting the sword back into the sheath, holding it in his hand, he continued to grope and check in this stone room, and then did not find the mechanism button and the secret passage in the mezzanine of the secret room, so he retreated.
The stone room that Xiao Shu entered was indeed full of soft weapons, such as three-section sticks, nine-section whips, snake-shaped soft whips, chain guns, meteor hammers, double flying claws, dust, beads, and dragon whisker hooks...... Xiao Shu looked casually, but he was not interested, so he looked for the hidden grid and button on the stone wall, and also found the button under a candlestick to open another small secret room.
There are several stone cases in this secret room, and the three stone cases on the left side are placed with various hidden weapons, javelins, darts, throwing knives, jujube core nails, thistles, plum blossom needles, bone penetrating needles, finger swords, and stabbing ...... There are also two metal cylinders and several strange objects with metal casings. The two stone tables on the right are dozens of small jars of all kinds.
Xiao Shu walked to the stone case where the hidden weapon was placed, picked up one of the cylinders, looked at it carefully, and saw that there were three circles of more than 20 fine holes at one end, and a small button next to the handle at the other end. His curiosity was that he pointed one end of the cylinder hole against the stone wall, pressed the button, and only heard a "whoosh" sound, and more than 20 tiny steel needles shot out like a dense rain, all nailed to the stone wall, and there was a burst of fishy smell, obviously the poisonous needles were highly poisonous.
Xiao Shuyan said: "If this kind of secret weapon is launched at a person, who in the world can avoid it?"
He put down the cylinder, and no longer touched the other hidden weapons, walked to another stone case, picked up a small ceramic bottle, pulled out the cork and shook it, although he didn't smell anything, he was dizzy for a while, and he didn't know what kind of poison it was. He hurriedly plugged the stopper, put the bottle back in its place, and looked at the stone walls around the secret room, and then exited the secret room and the stone house without any further abnormalities.
At this time, Ye Shuying had also withdrawn from the stone room, handed over the sword, and said, "Here you go, you may like this sword." There are weapons in the stone house on my side, what are you on your side?"
Xiao Shu took the sword and said, "Soft weapons, hidden weapons and poisons." As he spoke, he pulled out the sword three inches, only to see the cold light shining and the cold air pressing, Xiao Shu said: "Yes, thank you." ”
The two of them explored further, and soon came to a karst cave, the bottom of which was relatively flat, and it seemed that the stalactites protruding from the ground had been destroyed, and even the upside-down stalagmites were very few, except for a few candlesticks, there were not many traces of artificial carving.
Ye Shuying said: "It's like a place to practice martial arts. The two of them looked separately and found nothing unusual, and then walked back to the large cave along the passage.
Now the three passages on the left side of the throne have been explored, and next to it is the huge rock that is more than two zhang high and one zhang wide opposite the throne.
The boulder stood almost seamlessly from the stone walls on both sides, as if it had been cut from the entire stone wall.
Ye Shuying and Xiao Shu stood in front of the boulder, looked carefully, but found that there were some scratches on the boulder, which did not look like they were caused by a fight, but as if someone deliberately carved them.
Xiao Shu approached the boulder, raised his hand to wipe the dust on it, and found that there were a total of thirteen drawings, each of which was two sword-dancing villains. On closer inspection, some of these drawings are in groups of three, and some are in groups of two, showing some martial arts moves.
The two of them raised their eyes to look at the top three pictures, the villain on the left in the first two pictures danced a wonderful move to stab the villain on the right, which is actually two styles in one move, and each style seems to imply five or six changes, at first glance, no matter which style is played, the villain on the right is difficult to resist.
Ye Shuying and Xiao Shu saw it, they were both surprised and admired, and secretly admired the swordsmanship and intelligence of the person who created this move.
The two glanced at each other, and couldn't help but pinch their right hands into sword fingers and gesture.
After a while, the two of them looked at the third picture, and when they saw it, they couldn't help but be surprised and panicked. It turns out that this third picture is of the villain on the right side cracking the first two formulas with one move. His move doesn't seem complicated, but it has endless momentum, and it seems to hide eight or nine changes, no matter how the villain's move on the left changes, it can be cracked.
Ye Shuying said: "Let's try, I'll make the previous moves, you can break them." ”
Xiao Shu nodded, the two of them pinched out their sword fingers at the same time, and compared with each other, Ye Shuying made the move of the villain on the left, and Xiao Shuying made the villain on the right crack method, and after trying it, Ye Shuying was shocked into a cold sweat. He tried more than ten changes in one move and two times, but Xiao Shu was easily broken, and Xiao Shu took advantage of the situation to change, and instantly turned against the customer, straight to his throat.
If Xiao Shu has a blade in his hand, although Ye Shuying can dodge a fatal blow, he must be injured, if the opponent is an enemy with a slightly higher martial arts, he must die.
The two of them looked at the groups of drawings behind them, and it turned out that the person on the left used a wonderful move that they had never seen before, and in the end, they were cleverly cracked by the villain on the right, which was really amazing.
