The two soldiers tied the rope around their waists, stretched out their hands to maintain their balance, stepped on the wall of the well, and followed General Li into the deep ancient well.

......

The further down he went, the moss on the surrounding well walls became more and more slippery, and Li Jingyu took advantage of the fire in his hand to look around, and there were messy shoe prints everywhere on the surrounding well walls. He looked down and saw that it was still dark, and it was not until far away that the sound of water could be faintly heard.

The two pro-soldiers walked for more than ten zhang successively, but they couldn't step on the moss on both sides. At this time, they had to pull the rope, signaling that their feet could not bear the strength, and instead let the people above pull them down.

......

"Obviously, it has only been raining for so long a while ago, and I heard Chen Chong say that this ancient well has not closed the manhole cover, why is the water in this well so shallow?"

Li Jingyu danced the torch in front of him, hung upside down and touched the slightly whitish water marks on the moss around him.

The water level should have been here two days ago, but I don't know where it has fallen.

Chen Chong whispered like thunder at the mouth of the well: "General, is there nothing wrong with the well?"

Li Jingyu pulled the rope four times and signaled that he was very good.

The two soldiers who followed behind slipped their feet on the wall of the well in vain, looked at the deep and bottomless deep well and shook their heads with a wry smile.

......

Seeing that the sky from the mouth of the well was getting darker and darker, Li Jingyu didn't want to stay any longer, so he simply tore off a small piece of charcoal with sparks from the torch with his bare hands and threw it at the bottom of the well.

While he told the two soldiers behind him to pay attention to their feet, he took steady steps, and trotted down facing the bottom of the well by a little light from the falling sparks.

Chen Chong, who was above, saw that the rope at General Li's end was going down quickly, so he hurriedly came up and grabbed the rope in person.

I don't know how long the wind in my ears rang, Li Jingyu looked back, and the sky above his head on the wellhead had turned into an inconspicuous dot.

The sound of the murmuring water not far below him was finally clear.

"Tighten the rope, I see the well water!"

Li Jingyu's voice bumped back and forth several times in the well with limited space, and finally reached the ears of everyone at the wellhead.

Chen Zhong asked the people beside him to tighten the ropes, and he took out a pamphlet to prepare to record the number of times General Li had breathed in his chest and abdomen from the time he entered the well to the present.

The rope is handed over halfway.

The rough hemp rope surface suddenly broke free from the hands of the handover soldiers, and slipped down like a snake.

"Grab the rope!" Chen Chong and Du Rui beside him jumped up at the same time and rushed towards the shorter and shorter pendulum rope.

......

Li Jingyu wanted to speed up to touch the well water, but his feet suddenly stepped on a fast wooden plank on the wall of the well.

With a crisp thud, he fell completely deflected into the darkness behind the plank.

The torch in his hand snapped and fell into the well.

......

The two soldiers who were still behind him were so stunned that before they could react, they reached out in vain and grabbed them in the air.

......

Seeing that Li Jingyu was about to hit the hard well wall with his head down after crashing into the darkness because of the sudden lengthening of the rope.

Flying and tumbling green vines suddenly burst out of the heart guards on his chest, writhing like life force and grasping at the gap in the stone wall. At the place where Li Jingyu's head was still a finger away from the wall of the well, his upside-down body was stabilized.

On the right wall, a half-human-wide cave hidden behind wooden planks and moss opened its mouth and laughed mercilessly at Li Jingyu.

"Damn, I can't die!"

The people above finally grabbed the rope and breathed a sigh of relief.

Ignoring the abrasions on his arms, Li Jingyu's eyes lit up as if he had found some treasure. He motioned for his soldiers, who were still a few feet above him, to throw a torch down, and he bowed his body as far as he could, and burrowed into the cavern with his feet forward.

Torch falls.

Li Jingyu's feet were just on the floor of the cave.

With his right hand, he grabbed the dagger from his waist and held it to his chest, and his left hand was right in the air, and it happened to be on the handle of the torch.

The cave is dark, damp and cold, and there are faint droplets of water in the soft loess around it, which looks unstable.

"General, below this well is the water layer. One of Li Jingyu's personal soldiers descended, and he dared to dive into the water of the well to take a look, and he could already clearly see the water layer under the well.

Li Jingyu shook the torch in his hand and signaled that he already knew. His feet continued to walk deeper into the cavern.

After walking for about a dozen feet, he was blocked by an uneven green rock formation in front of him.

The cave seems to have come to an end.

Li Jingyuweng frowned and looked around, he thought that this cave should be the entrance to a secret passage for the traitor, how did he know that it would come to an end so soon.

The power of the wood elemental in his chest rolled, as if he was excited to try to break through the rock formation.

Li Jingyu glanced at the walls of the cave where loess particles fell from time to time, forcibly suppressed the impulse in his heart, and turned around to search around the cave.

"What is this?" Li Jingyu took advantage of the firelight to swipe into a green object the size of a little thumb in the corner.

......

"Melon peel?" Li Jingyu picked up the thing and sniffed it on his nose, and was happy for a while, these traitors are interested, and they still have time to gnaw a melon underground.

He looked around again, and there was nothing else.

......

Before leaving, Li Jingyu was still unwilling to dig the rock layer with the knife in his hand.

"It's so hard, it's not like it's artificially piled up with elemental force. ”

That group of rebels must have been hiding in this cave a few days ago, and went up to pretend to be a ghost when there were few people. In this way, after the red-clothed monk came, the group should have withdrawn.

But after the group of people had left, why did this strange monk still sit in place? After thinking about it, Li Jingyu found that it seemed that the timing of the drop of the well water was not right.

He called a soldier to ascend and asked Chen Chong and them to try to communicate with the monk. He himself stayed here and continued to rummage for a while, making sure that nothing suspicious was left.

......

Eventually, when Li Jingyu returned to the well, Chen Chong and the others shook their heads at the general helplessly, indicating that the mute monk was still sitting there.

"Tell a few people with good eyesight to keep an eye on the well, prepare more stones to store here, if there is a mess again, we will bury this well directly." ”

......

"You go and report to Changdu County about the situation here. ”

Lu Jingyu's personal soldier Du Rui nodded and asked in a low voice, "General, the embroidery-eyed bird in this city?"

"They commanded Lord Shen to suspect that there were thieves in Longbei's nest and didn't let them move. Li Jingyu deliberately said this very loudly.

"What does the cabinet mean?"

"Ouch, you kid knows a lot. Li Jingyu turned his knife with one hand and slashed at Du Rui's neck.

"Don't get out of here. ”

Dourie unloaded the spear from his back and handed it to the man beside him, stepped on his horse and flew away.
