Chapter 16: The Depths of the Cave

Lu Zhicheng's face was slightly red, knowing that his junior sister was sharp and couldn't be bored, so he hurriedly bypassed the topic and said, "Senior sister, I heard that this cave is very secret, and there are many mechanisms inside. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info You and Le Gongzi are still waiting outside the cave. Don't have to go in and venture with us. ”

Le Yiyang wanted to go in and see his vision, but when he saw Lu Zhicheng say so, he was unwilling, and stepped forward and said: "I have a narrow view in Taiyuan, but now that I have come to the Central Plains, I originally wanted to open my eyes." If you can enter this dense cloud cave today to find out, you can increase your knowledge a lot. ”

Lai Jiyun heard the conversation between the two and thought: "I have been in Youyun Villa for more than ten years, and I have only heard of the name of Miyun Cave, and I have never entered it to see it. Today, Master and Senior Brother are here, and with Le Gongzi by his side, even if there is any danger, Master and they will try their best to rescue them. If you don't go in today, it will be a little difficult to get in in the future. Thinking of this, she reluctantly said, "You all go in, and it's not interesting for me to stay outside the cave alone." Why don't you take me with you, I must be careful not to cause trouble with you and Master. Good brother, how is it?"

Lu Zhicheng wanted to protect the little junior sister, but he knew that she had always been stubborn, and now she wanted to go in together, if she didn't agree to her, she would definitely not give up easily. Besides, this Miyun Cave is deserted, if she encounters any beasts or martial arts scum who do evil, how can the junior sister be able to defeat her, so she is alone in danger. However, the Miyun Cave does not know the depth, and it is full of hidden weapons left by the predecessors, and if you are not careful, you will die in the cave. Just as he was hesitating, he only heard Xian Yunhuan say: "Since Le Gongzi and Yun'er both want to go in, then let the family members in the village stay here, in case there is any accident, they can be our answer." ”

When Ji Yun heard the master's words, he knew that the senior brother would not dare to disobey the master's orders, and his heart was full of joy, and he said coquettishly: "Thank you Master and Senior Brother for your success." Lu Zhicheng had no choice but to explain the way back to the family members around him, and then took the three of them into the cave.

The Miyun Cave was in the middle of a barren mountain, and the road inside was as tortuous as the road up the mountain just now. When Lu Zhicheng and the others entered the cave door, they found that there was only a stone crack inside. The crack was less than a foot wide, just big enough for one person to walk sideways. Lu Zhicheng walked in the front, carefully using the long sword in his hand to probe on both sides of the stone crevice, worried that a hidden weapon would attack. Hyun Yun Hwan, Lai Ji Yun and Le Yiyang followed, and their faces almost fell against the cave wall. Le Yiyang walked cautiously, and at the same time thought in his heart: "I don't know who built this mysterious cave, it must have taken a lot of effort to dig this steep road in the first place. What's the secret inside?"

The crowd walked about fifty or sixty meters before they reached an open place inside. Looking at the empty flat land in front of him, Le Yiyang sighed: "The entrance of Miyun Cave is so tactful, it is worthy of its name, but inside it is a different scene. If someone encounters an emergency here, it is not easy to escape from the cave immediately. ”

Lu Zhicheng nodded and said, "That's true." Over the years, I don't know how many heroes have sneaked in, and as far as I know, only a very few people have been able to get out alive. So everyone should be extra careful. He said to Ji Yun again: "Senior sister, you and Le Gongzi walk together, you can take care of each other." ”

Lai Jiyun responded, smiled at Le Yiyang, and turned to look at the silent cave, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

Everyone carefully looked at the cave for a while, and only after making sure that there was no danger did they dare to continue walking. After only a dozen steps, I came to a pool. The pool was about twenty or thirty meters wide from the opposite bank, and a faint white mist was shrouded in the water, and a faint array of stone slabs could be seen on the water, each of which was about five or six feet apart. If you look along the stone slab, you can see a huge door on the opposite side. There is no other road to the other side except the pool in front of you.

Le Yiyang looked at the other side, and kept searching for a way to cross the pool, and suddenly saw that Ji Yun beside her had walked to the edge of the pool, and she was about to step on the stone slab, Le Yiyang hurriedly called: "Come girl, please stay, it seems that there is something strange here." Lai Jiyun was just about to stretch out his legs, but then they all shrank back, and looked back at Le Yiyang, with a puzzled expression on his face.

Lu Zhicheng and Hyun Yunhuan were looking for a hidden weapon on the side, when they both heard Le Yiyang's words, and they both walked to the two of them. Le Yiyang said: "Lord Xianmeng, Lu Gongzi, I don't know if you have noticed that the water quality here is different from the outside world?"

Lu Zhicheng looked at the pool in front of him, shook his head and said: "It's the same water, is the water here different from the water in other places in my village?" Lu Zhicheng has never entered the Miyun Cave, and now it is all speculation.

After listening to his words, Le Yiyang said calmly, "Along the way, I've been thinking about it, why is this called Miyun Cave? Lai Jiyun walked up to Le Yiyang at this time, and said with a smile: "Le Gongzi, what the hell is going on?"

Le Yiyang did not immediately answer her words, stepped forward to the edge of the pool, picked up a palm-sized stone on the ground, and threw it into the pool with all his might. I heard only a stream of heat rising from the lake, but I didn't hear the sound of stones falling into the water.

Everyone was amazed when they saw this. Le Yiyang explained: "This should be the legendary Bone Dissolving Pool. The depth of the bone-dissolving pond is more than 100 feet, and ordinary objects melt into it, which is caused by the extreme heat of the pool water. The heat of the water envelops the pool and covers the earth like dense clouds, hence the name. ”

After listening to Le Yiyang's words, Lu Zhicheng also suddenly realized and said: "What Le Gongzi said is very true, and now I finally understand." The person who trespassed into the Miyun Cave before may have died here, so we went all the way in and didn't see any traces left by the bones. Le Yiyang pointed to the other side with his finger and said, "Not really, Lu Gongzi, behind that door, I don't know how many skeletons are hidden." ”

After hearing this, Hyun Yunhuan sighed: "No matter what, it is sad that a good seven-foot skin bag ended up at the bottom of the cave." What is the treasure in this cave, so that the people in the rivers and lakes do not care about life and death, and go forward one after another. ”

Lu Zhicheng said: "I have been trying to figure out this matter for many years, and even if I lose my life today, I have to find out." However, the urgency of the delay now is how to cross this pool, and I wonder if the slate here can still withstand our weight. ”

Le Yiyang thought to himself: "Since I have come in, I must not return in vain." At this time, he remembered the rope he had brought with him, and said, "Everyone, there is a way to fall, I don't know if you can try it?" Everyone was worried that there was no way out, and when they heard his words, the anxious countenance on their faces eased slightly. As he spoke, Le Yiyang took out the rope behind him: "You can fix this rope on both sides of the pool, and then row over the rope." ”

Hyun Yunhuan said: "Although this method is wonderful, it is difficult to implement. There are four of us in a group, only Le Gongzi has no martial arts, how can he really get over?" Lu Zhicheng understood what the master was referring to, so he volunteered, "The apprentice is willing to take the first step and fix the rope on the opposite bank." Xian Yunhuan said: "Today's plan can only be like this, Cheng'er, you have to be more careful." Lu Zhicheng said: "Master, it is wrapped around me at this time." With that, he took the rope from Le Yiyang's hand, carefully unfolded the long rope, tied one end of the rope to the boulder in the cave, and then stood up.

Lu Zhicheng pulled the long rope hard, made sure that it was firmly fixed, and even the person went straight to the pool with the rope. He jumped into the pool of water, and before his feet could reach the surface, he pointed his sword at the slate. Then he jumped up again, and saw the slate slowly sinking. After a few back and forth, Lu Zhicheng arrived on the other side of the river safe and sound. Looking at the surface of the water again, the stones had sunk into the water one after another, and in the end there were only seven or eight left.

When Lai Jiyun saw this scene, he said thoughtfully: "I think there were many stones in this pool before, and they were all stepped into the water by others one by one. Le Yiyang said with a smile: "Come girl, a person with strong martial arts like your senior brother will naturally not be able to defeat him." When the two were talking, they saw Hyun Yunhuan also jumped into the pool, stepped on a stone slab on the water, and then jumped up and reached the opposite shore, without touching the long rope in the whole process.

Le Yiyang and Lai Jiyun were both amazed. The two of them walked one after the other, carefully paddling along the rope across the pool.

Lu Zhicheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that everyone had come safely, and said: "Thanks to Le Gongzi's reminder before, those stone slabs were originally all floating on the water, if you don't pay attention and step on them rashly, you will even be buried in the pool together, and you won't even have time for luck." Le Yiyang replied: "These are all things that I heard the elders talk about when I was in Daizhou before, but I didn't expect to meet here today, the Central Plains is really strange." ”

Hyun Yunhuan looked around and said, "The yin atmosphere here is pressing, we can't stay for a long time, let's finish things as soon as possible and leave quickly." ”

Everyone agreed with him, and walked towards the great gate together, only to find that it was made of blue iron, and although it had no key, it was also very strong. Lu Zhicheng touched the iron gate with his hand, and said helplessly: "With such a strong iron gate, it seems that the Qingyun Xuankong Sword is powerless." Xian Yunhuan looked around the iron gate and said calmly: "Cheng'er, don't be frustrated, I think there will be an open mechanism when this gate is built, let's look carefully around the door first." ”

Le Yiyang stepped forward, carefully examined the iron gate, and suddenly found a small hole in the rock next to the iron gate, and said: "Xian Alliance Master, if it is not as expected by your old man, the mechanism of the iron gate is here, but I don't know where the key to this mechanism is now." Hyun Yoon-hwan said: "Everyone is looking around to see if there is anything on the ground." ”

So the four of them searched for a while near the iron gate, but found nothing. Le Yiyang said to himself: "Isn't the key in the cave?" After listening to Ji Yun, he said: "It's not in the cave, so what else do you want this mechanism to do, no one can open it anyway." Le Yiyang was about to answer, but he heard Lu Zhicheng say calmly: "Senior sister, there is always someone who can open it, who is it?"
