This is not a conclusive conclusion, but a personal conclusion that he has drawn based on the practice of the two worlds and the experience of absorbing the two worlds before and after, and then expounded it in a way that Yuan Gang can understand. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Yuan Gang, who had a torch in his hand, fell into thought.

Shang Shuqing, who was sleeping on her side, was obviously not asleep yet, her eyeballs were rolling under her eyelids, and she didn't understand what Niu Youdao said, what is dark matter? Eastern legends? Western legends? What is a werewolf?

Don't talk about her, Yuanfang, who was meditating cross-legged, actually listened quietly for a while with his ears pricked up, and he still listened in a daze, as if he didn't understand......

After Yuan Gang had dried the torches, Niu Youdao said in a low voice: "Eat something, hurry up and rest, and I'll let the old bear continue to roast later." ”

Among the three of him, Yuanfang and Yuan Gang, in fact, Yuan Gang's physical strength is the largest consumption in this rush, and Yuan Gang is pure physical consumption, unlike him and Yuanfang who can save physical strength. Of course, Yuan Gang is also the one with the best physical strength among several people, there is no way, Yuan Gang is already refining his body. But then again, the recovery of pure physical strength is the slowest, not as fast as he and Yuanfang.

Yuan Gang didn't say much, he immediately stopped, and when he touched the dry food, he gobbled it into his mouth, and after eating and drinking, he moved the package as a pillow, and lay down to sleep peacefully. There is a Taoist master personally guarding, although it is in such an environment, he still sleeps very peacefully, and he is indeed tired along the way, and soon falls asleep.

The dark underground world, the roaring water of the black river, reflects a bonfire on the shore, and the flickering fire makes the craggy rocks near and far from time to time hideous.

Everyone rested quietly, only Niu Youdao stood alone with a sword beside the fire, vigilant in all directions alone in this deep underground world, a pair of magic eyes patrolled around, and the sword in his hand from time to time provoked a few wet torches into the fire, maintaining the fire unswerving.

Two hours later, Yuan Fang opened his eyes and moved his limbs to stand up, and made a gesture to indicate that he was rested, and motioned to Niu Youdao to rest, and he came to watch.

Niu Youdao motioned for him to continue roasting the torch, and Yuanfang had no choice but to do so, while Niu Youdao continued to be vigilant around.

Almost two hours later, Shang Shuqing seemed to wake up, there was a slight movement under the covered clothes, but she didn't mean to get up, and she seemed to be struggling in her heart, but she finally got up and walked silently towards the remote place on the side.

After resting for a while, the blood blisters on his feet seemed to be more painful to walk, and he was obviously limping.

"Don't run around. Niu Youdao reminded.

Shang Shuqing stopped and turned around, a little embarrassed, and stopped talking.

Niu Youdao suddenly realized something, understood something, and said to Yuanfang: "Old bear, look at it." He turned around and walked past Shang Shuqing, looked for a corner, and pointed, while he himself stood behind a stone outside the corner with his back to the guard.

Shang Shuqing slowly got into the corner, standing inside and not moving, looking very entangled.

Niu Youdao, whose upper body was exposed outside the stone, turned his back to him: "Don't worry, I won't peek." ”

Shang Shuqing's body slowly descended into the horns, and soon, a slight indecent movement came out.

When she came out again, Shang Shuqing was obviously embarrassed, and found that she was really ugly in front of Niu Youdao, and only she knew what she felt in her heart, so she whispered, "Okay!" and returned to the fire with one foot deep and one foot shallow, his face and ears blushing.

When Niu Youdao came back, he found that Yuan Gang had also woken up.

Yuan Gang spoke: "Old Xiong, you are on guard. Master Dao, you can rest. ”

Niu Youdao sat down cross-legged, took the dry food and used it, and closed his eyes to breathe.

About two hours later, Niu Youdao, who had regained his full spirit, stood up and began to pack up and set off.

Yuan Fang tied a hundred baked torches on his back, and Yuan Gang carried fifty on his back. Shang Shuqing also knew the condition of his feet, and if he was on foot, he could not walk, at least slowly, and he didn't shirk anything, and honestly lay on Niu Youdao's back and held a torch.

The group set off again, this time everyone was full of energy, and almost non-stop along the way, all the time has been moving fast.

Along the way, more than a dozen places where the torches were stored were empty, apparently destroyed by the man hiding in the shadows. However, only these places were destroyed, and the torches were well placed at the storage point behind, and there was no sign of further damage. I don't know if the other party knows that this has no effect, or if the road behind is unfamiliar and can't touch the torch storage point for a while.

It's not completely dark underground, either, and occasionally a hole can be seen seeping through the sky.

After walking for almost a day, when he found a stone similar to a crouching tiger next to the river, Shang Shuqing, who was lying on Niu Youdao's shoulder, said excitedly: "It's almost there, there is a hole about a mile ahead, and you can go up directly." ”

As she said, after walking about a mile, she saw a hole with traces of artificial excavation, and the steps went all the way up, half artificial and half natural.

Walking up the winding steps, I walked up hundreds of meters and saw the light.

Even if there is a torch lighting along the way, it is a bit dazzling to suddenly be in the covered light.

Pushing aside the vines that covered the entrance of the cave, several people found that they were halfway up the mountain, between the beautiful mountains, not far away from a waterfall that flowed straight down, under the waterfall was a turquoise pool, and children could be seen playing in the pool. Scattered among the mountains, it looks like a village, and it is like a paradise in this beautiful place. There seemed to be a dead volcano in the distance, at least Niu Youdao and Yuan Gang could see at a glance that it was a volcano.

There is a thatched pavilion not far from the side of the mountainside, and there is a young man in the pavilion, and after the young man sees a few people coming out of the cave, he quickly rings a bell hanging in the thatched pavilion. The melodious sound of the bell echoed through the valley, and the young man took up his sword with a wary face and stared at the few people who suddenly appeared.

As soon as the bell rang, the children playing in the waterhole immediately crawled out of the waterhole and ran for hiding, and there seemed to be a commotion in the village, and a group of men with weapons ran towards them.

"Master Dao, it's okay, let me down. Shang Shuqing, who was lying behind Niu Youdao, said.

Niu Youdao let her down, and not long after, a group of men with weapons also rushed to the mountain, many of them carrying standard bows and crossbows.

Shang Shuqing took out a token and showed it to a bearded man in the crowd, and shouted at the same time, "Uncle Luo, I'm Qing'er, do you still recognize me?"

She came all the way from the underground without wearing a veil, and the bearded man saw the token, and then saw Shang Shuqing's ugly yin and yang face, and immediately said excitedly: "County Lord!" immediately hurriedly waved his hand left and right and scolded, "Down! Let go! Don't be rude, it's the county lord who is here, put it down!"

The horse chopping knife in his hand was stuck in the ground, and he came quickly, knelt down on one knee in front of him, and arched his hand: "Humble Luo An to see the county lord! He—" shook his head, choked up and burst into tears.

Shang Shuqing knew that he was referring to the martyred King Ning, so he limped forward and helped him up with both hands, "Uncle Luo, it's all over." ”

Luo An raised his sleeve and wiped his tears, both sad and happy: "These young people have never seen the county lord, what is the collision, and I hope the county lord will forgive the sins!" turned back to a group of young people and shouted: "Don't hurry up and see the county lord!"

A group of young people looked at each other and found that the county lord was so ugly, but they still knelt on one knee one after another, "See the county lord!"

Shang Shuqing hurriedly stepped forward to signal to calm down, Luo An noticed her feet, and asked in surprise, "County Lord, what's wrong with your feet?"

Shang Shuqing spit out the truth, "It's difficult to walk on the road, and there may be blisters on your feet, so it's okay." ”

Luo An nodded again and again, expressing his understanding, he had walked through the secret passage below, and it was difficult for ordinary men to walk, let alone a woman from the county lord.

However, men and women could not kiss, and a group of men were inconvenient to support, so he hurriedly ordered to go down and let people go to the village and call two women to take care of them.

It was inconvenient for Shang Shu to clear her feet, so Luo An was not in a hurry to go down the mountain, and said with him: "I haven't seen you for seven or eight years, the county lord has grown up, and I almost didn't recognize my humble position." ”

Shang Shuqing teased herself: "The birthmark on my face should be easy to recognize." ”

This is the county lord's shortcoming, Luo An hurriedly waved his hand and did not mention it.

Niu Youdao, who was behind, looked up at the bright sun in the sky, looked back at the hole he saw, and stepped forward to ask Luo An: "Has anything strange happened in the village recently?"

Luo An's attention then fell to Niu Youdao and the three of them, and asked Shang Shuqing: "County Lord, who are these three?"

"Niu Youdao, Yuan Gang, and Yuanfang are all their own people. After Shang Shuqing introduced the three of them, he specially introduced Niu Youdao, "This is the Suihu Master of the County King." In turn, he introduced Luo An to several people, "Uncle Luo is a general under my father, and he was originally one of the generals of the Yingyang Martial Guard. ”

"Master Suihu?" Luo An frowned, looked Niu Youdao up and down, and felt that he was too young.

Shang Shuqing reminded: "Dao Ye is a closed disciple of Mr. Dongguo!"

As soon as he heard that it was Mr. Dongguo's disciple, Luo An was in awe, and did not dare to despise it anymore, he knew that Dongguo Haoran and King Ning were friends, so he hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Meet the master." ”

Niu Youdao arched his hand and asked the sentence again, "General Luo, has anything strange happened in the village recently?"

"Strange thing?" Luo An was stunned, "What strange thing? It's been good, I haven't seen anything strange, is it a few children in the village who fight?"

Niu Youdao said, "Is there a mage in the village?"

Luo An shook his head: "No, this place is very safe, and it is difficult for outsiders to find it." ”

Niu Youdao: "How long has it been since the people in the village entered the secret passage?"

Luo An's expression was a little heavy: "After the old prince was killed, we received a summons from Mr. Lan, after some people retreated from the villa in Canglu County, they cut off direct contact with the outside world, and the people in the village are not allowed to enter the secret passage without permission, and the entrance has been guarded, and no one has entered the secret passage for five years." The mage asks this, what is the matter?"

"Nothing, just to be on the safe side, casually asked. Niu Youdao smiled and stopped bothering, turned around and exchanged glances with Yuan Gang.
