Chapter 244: Search (Part II)

"Click, click!"

Ying Yunwei's shot was like electricity, and the gravel on the cliff flew sideways and continued to dig in.

Suddenly, there was a "clang", and the hard rock was dug through, revealing a hole more than half a foot in diameter.

"There is a door!" Ying Yunwei's eyes lit up, and his claws sped up one after another, and in a short time, the hole was dug wide, turning it into a hole more than one person high.

Behind the entrance of the cave is a grotto about five zhang wide, black and dark I don't know how deep, and the sound of the stream flowing from the outside flows down the grotto.

Gou Bizi was surprised: "Hey, the back of this cliff is empty, it seems to be a passage!"

Xiang Lin looked at the grotto and said: "I always feel that this small mountain village is full of weirdness, it is hard to guarantee that it is not Ji Chengche and Tang Xueluo who set traps to deliberately lure us in, everyone should be more careful, don't follow their way." ”

Ying Yunwei was eager to try: "Your Highness, let your subordinates go into the cave to investigate!"

Hu Xiyuan shook his head and objected: "No, the situation in the cave is unknown, and I am not sure if Ji Chengche and Tang Xueluo are also inside." If you venture alone, you are very likely to be plotted. ”

Xiang Lin decisively said: "Senior sister stays, and the others follow me into the cave to investigate." ”

Wang Rou refused to say, "I want to go in with you." ”

Xiang Lin was stunned, and immediately woke up to Wang Rou's thoughts, and said with a sinking face: "Whatever you want!"

Ying Yunwei lit a fire fold, and suddenly illuminated a radius of ten zhang as bright as day, and volunteered: "I'll open the way!"

At that moment, everyone rushed in, and after a while, they disappeared into the cave.

Seeing this, Ji Chengche couldn't help but hesitate, and wanted to go into the cave together behind Xiang Lin and the others to see what was going on.

At first, he was also very curious about what kind of secrets were hidden behind this hidden grotto, and he was also worried about Wang Rou's safety in the cave.

At this time, I heard Tang Xue fall: "Brother Chengqing, why don't we go into the cave and have a look, okay?"

"Okay!" Ji Chengche waited for the words to come back to his senses, Tang Xueluo probably guessed that he was worried about Wang Rou, so he offered to enter the cave to investigate.

He said apologetically: "Xiang Lin is right, there are a lot of strange places here, and I don't know what dangers you will encounter when you enter the cave." You must follow me closely later, and don't be reckless in case of trouble. If things don't go well, quit immediately. ”

Tang Xueluo heard Ji Chengche leaning in his ear and repeatedly admonishing himself, feeling his care, Ying Ying smiled and said, "I should say this to you." ”

Ji Chengche couldn't help but pull her behind him, and walked into the grotto first, and could vaguely see the white light emitted by the fire fold held high in Ying Yunwei's hand in front of him.

Under the light of the fire, the shadows of the stone walls on both sides glowed with a faint white light, like a smooth mirror, which is by no means a natural achievement.

Ji Chengqing was afraid that there would be a sound of water under his feet, so he and Tang Xueluo walked close to the stone wall to the right, next to the gurgling stream.

This grotto was unexpectedly deep and remote, and Ji Chengche and Tang Xueluo followed Xiang Lin and the others for three or four miles, and there was still no sign of end.

But strangely, the journey was unhindered, and it seemed that the grotto had long been abandoned.

Tang Xueluo looked at the grotto and said with emotion: "If it is all by manpower, I really can't imagine who can do it." ”

Ji Chengche said thoughtfully: "Of course it's the emperor, it's okay to collect 1.8 million people with an order." But I'm more curious, what is this grotto for?"

Tang Xueluo guessed: "Could it be another secret passage leading to the outside of the mountain?"

Ji Cheng said: "Then you don't have to chisel the stone wall so neatly and smoothly, right?"

Tang Xue was silent, pinched the law seal in her hand and silently deduced the beard, and hesitated: "Brother Chengqing, the more I go inside, the more restless I feel, I always feel that this grotto will not be so quiet forever, there must be a danger hidden inside." ”

Ji Chengche looked at Wang Rou's vaguely visible back in front of him, and said, "The snow is falling, or you retreat to the cliff first and wait for me." I followed them a little longer, and I didn't believe that there was no end to this grotto. ”

Tang Xueluo just wanted to speak, but suddenly saw the firelight in front of him flash violently and disappeared in an instant.

Immediately after, I heard Hu Xiyuan's voice shouting, "Be carefulβ€”"

Then Gou Bizi also shouted: "Don't push me-"

The shouts of the two echoed through the grotto, then faded into silence and no more.

Ji Chengqing and Tang Xue were shocked, not knowing what was going on in front of them.

The two of them were on alert and quickened their pace to catch up, and soon approached the place where the light of the fire fold had disappeared.

Ji Chenggong's eyes carefully looked around, and he didn't notice anything unusual, but he heard the sound of water gradually getting louder, turning into a small waterfall and pouring into the stone pool below.

This stone pond is about three zhang wide and five zhang long, sinking into the ground about seven or eight zhang, according to the reason, you can cross from the top of it to the opposite side with a light jump.

Look at the opposite side of the stone pond again, it has reached the end of the grotto, there seems to be a huge relief carved on the stone wall, but unfortunately it is too dark in the cave to see what kind of pattern is engraved on it.

Tang Xueluo looked at Xiao Shitan and said, "They should have fallen into the pool." ”

Ji Chengche nodded, and flashed a flash of light and shot at the relief mural opposite.

"Uhh

These eighteen scenes are arranged in a circle on the stone wall, and there is a large blank space in it, like an unfinished part, which is very abrupt and conspicuous.

Ji Cheng looked at the relief with full attention, and the figures on the paintings were lifelike, and the knife work was so detailed that even the hair on the figure's head was completely visible.

"From the knife work, it is very likely that the entire relief is from the same person, and it would never have been completed without more than ten years of work. Tang Xueluo said: "The five-mile-long passage in the belly of the mountain, the huge relief, even I suspect that this stream is also drained here by manpower...... Why did such a big deal come about?"

Ji Chengche was also wondering about this, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that it is necessary for us to go down to the pond to take a look, where is this sacred one-third of an acre." ”

Tang Xueluo stared at the relief and said: "I always feel that this relief at the end of the grotto is definitely not an ornament, but unfortunately I can't guess what secrets are hidden in it for a while." ”

Ji Cheng saw that there was still no movement under the stone pool, and he didn't know what Wang Rou was doing, so he couldn't help but get anxious and said: "I don't know where those villagers went, otherwise I would catch a few and ask them, I wouldn't believe that they didn't know." ”

He tried to approach the edge of the stone pool step by step, and said, "The water of this stream is very clear, and you should take a cold bath if you jump down......

Before he finished speaking, a strange and uncontrollable force suddenly appeared out of nowhere, pushing his body forward.

Rao is Ji Chengche had already taken precautions, and his body still involuntarily fell into the waterfall, followed by a "bang" along the turbulent waterfall and fell into the stone pool.

"Brother Clear!"

He heard Tang Xueluo's shout, and just wanted to respond, but suddenly felt an undercurrent sweeping over, and couldn't help but rush himself to the bottom of the pool.

Ji Chengqing hurriedly held his breath and held his breath to protect his body, and the person was pushed down by the undercurrent like a wanderer, and the black rumbling around him couldn't see his five fingers, only the sound of "coo" water in his ears kept ringing.

In the next moment, another huge wave slammed his body away, rushing forward like a cloud.

"Bang la-" Ji Chengche only felt that the sky was spinning, and his body was washed by the huge waves onto a hard and cold ground.

He stood up with his waist straightened, and he didn't know where he was in the darkness around him.

"Po!" Ji Chengqing lit a cluster of witch fires, and the halo slowly spread, illuminating the surrounding scenery.

It turned out that he was pushed back to the stone pool by the sudden huge wave, and he was standing in the gravel field at the water's edge.

"Snow falls!" Ji Chengche shouted, looking around but couldn't see Tang Xueluo.

He was slightly startled, and fell into the grotto above, this time the strange force that had pushed it into the stone pool did not reappear.

Ji Chengche waited in place for a long time, but still didn't see Tang Xue fall back, and she chased her into the stone pool, but she didn't know what the situation was.

Ji Chengche gradually became anxious, so he went down to the pond again in the hope of finding Tang Xueluo.

He went down to the pool step by step, who knew that the whole process was extremely smooth, and the calm waves in the pool were very different from the previous encounter.

He soon reached the bottom of the pool, and by the flickering light of the witch fire at his fingertips, he saw that the bottom was surrounded by dozens of feet of water and grass, and the fish and shrimp were extinct and there was a dead silence, and there was no one except himself.

Ji Chengche did not give up, and searched carefully in the pond again, and it took half an hour for Ji Chengche to return to the shore.

He originally expected that when he went ashore, he would see Tang Xueluo standing at the water's edge at first glance and looking at him with a smile, laughing at himself for becoming a soup chicken. However, it backfired, and the sky above the stone pond was quiet and quiet, and there was no trace of the Yiren people.

Where did the snow go?

Ji Chengche felt as if his heart had been pulled out and pulled out painfully, every nerve from head to toe began to tense, and he frowned as he looked at the silent grotto.

With Tang Xueluo's temperament, it is impossible to leave him alone and walk away, unless, could it be that she encountered an accident?!

Ji Chengqing's heart sank, and Huo Ran raised his head. His gaze had just happened to fall on the giant relief at the end of the grotto.

"Boom!" Suddenly, Ji Chengche's body and mind shook as if he was stunned, staring at the relief without blinking.

The reliefs are as silent as ever, and the scenes of hell are eerie and terrifying, as if they are telling something in the darkness.

It's just that the blank space that should have been located in the center of the relief has an extra picture of quicksand without a top.

A group of men and women with hideous faces and frightened faces were submerged in the quicksand and were struggling desperately, trying to crawl out of the sand. Although it was only a relief, Ji Cheng's ears could vaguely hear their desperate and painful wails before they died......

And where this scene should have been, it was empty and blank...... (83 Chinese Net.)
