The Wudang disciples slid down from the cliff one after another, the disciples behind jumped up and down, and the disciples of the five factions also followed, neatly lined up and waited. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Xiao Han led everyone to retreat a few steps, and turned to look at the south mountain wall together. However, I saw that about five meters above the two boulders slowly concave to the left and right, driving the vines above to separate to both sides, revealing a black hole more than one person high and one meter wide after a few minutes.
Everyone stared blankly, and the whole venue was silent. Li Yueying let out a long breath and said softly: "My sister is really smart. Murong Qiuyu nodded and said, "Miss Chai has made a great contribution again." Everyone nodded together and looked at Xiao Han together.
Xiao Han glanced at Chai Xinyue appreciatively and said with a smile: "If there is no Senior Sister Chai, we will come for nothing this time." Chai Xinyue glanced at him and slowly turned her face to the side.
Xiao Han didn't talk nonsense anymore, and immediately ordered Chu Tianshu to order the Wudang disciples to light torches and prepare to enter the cave. Murong Qiuyu stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "It's not clear what the situation is inside, how can you easily get into danger, it's better to ask Grandpa and Zuo Long's seniors to go in and visit first." ā
Shen Zidu's old face froze, and he shook his head and said, "I'll go in alone, and I don't need others." Zuo Longxing said angrily: "I went in alone, I don't need you." Seeing that he was about to quarrel again, Xiao Han hurriedly said: "Don't be angry, let the old seniors Zuo go in first, and then the old seniors Shen will go again, as long as you two elders are not together." ā
The two of them snorted coldly at the same time, Zuo Longxing glanced at the entrance of the cave, a disciple of the Wudang Sect handed over the torch, Shen Zi copied it, and rushed to the entrance of the cave on tiptoe, followed by a slight bend of the body and drilled in.
Everyone waited quietly outside, without moving for a long time, Xiao Han glanced at Murong Qiuyu. Murong Qiuyu took a torch and handed it to Shen Zidu and said, "Grandpa, be careful." Shen Zidu nodded and said, "Don't worry." He followed his body and plunged into the cave and disappeared into the infinite darkness.
Everyone waited for half an hour without moving, Xiao Han's heart was relieved, knowing that these two people had strange temperaments, there must be no danger inside, and the two went in by themselves. Xiao Han turned his head to the head of the five factions and the twelve helmsmen of the three halls and commanded: "Brothers, this time is different, the plan can't catch up with the changes, all the plans we originally formulated are invalid, this time I will lead the team first, Qinglong and Baihutang follow, the five factions of the Lu brothers follow, Xuanwu Hall is responsible for the back of the hall, and arrange for the disciples to stay outside, so as not to be copied by others." Everyone was silent as they marched, and if anyone made a noise to alarm the enemy, don't blame the sect master for being unkind. ā
Everyone nodded at the same time, and Lu Qin said: "Sect Master Xiao rest assured, the brothers have followed the sect master to fight many times, so naturally you are the only one who will look ahead, and you will never disobey the order." ā
Chu Tianshu said with a straight face: "It's not appropriate for the head of the family to arrange it like this, the two old-timers have superb martial arts, even if there are people inside, they can't stop them, but we can't easily get into danger, all arrangements should be made properly." Xiao Han looked at him and said, "What do you mean?"
Chu Tianshu said: "I mean that I will take the White Tiger Hall first, the Qinglong Hall is responsible for protecting the head and the lady and Miss Chai, and the Xuanwu Hall protects the Seven Sons and the Queen of the Su Yatou Palace." ā
Fang Ning has now returned to Xiao Han, and when he heard this, he raised his head and said, "This faction is willing to take the lead. As soon as he said this, the other four factions were naturally not to be left behind, and they all expressed their intention to take the lead.
Xiao Han pondered: "Brothers, don't fight anymore, just do what Elder Chu says." The three halls and twelve rudders immediately began to act, and the heads of the five factions also went down to give three orders to their subordinates. Everyone knew that this trip was dangerous, and one by one their faces were serious, all their weapons were drawn, and hundreds of torches were lit at the same time.
Chu Tianshu took Jin Yushu and Shui Chenglang, the main helm of the White Dragon, Shan Wenhao, the main helm of the White Horse, Xiong Zhize, the main helm of the White Elephant, and Ning Hongcai, the master of the Baiwu Helm, climbed up to the entrance of the cave first, followed by several Wudang disciples with excellent light skills, jumped up to the entrance of the cave, hung down several ropes, and the rest of the people held the rope in one hand and were pulled up with a torch in the other. Chu Tianshu took the lead in getting in, and everyone walked in turn, slowly disappearing into the depths.
After a candle of incense, a disciple of Baiwutang came out of the cave and said happily: "There is nothing ahead, Elder Chu asks the head of the sect to come over." Everyone was happy, and immediately protected Xiao Han into the cave. Xing Anping took Rui Yinglang, the helmsman of Qingji, to lead people to walk in the front, followed by Xiao Han, Li Yueying, Murong Qiuyu, and Chai Xinyue, followed by Qinglongtang Qingxing, Qingping, and Qingning's three rudder disciples, and then the five factions, and finally Xuanwutang protected the Seven Sons Palace, and left ten disciples of Xuanwutang waiting below.
The cave was gloomy and dark, the walls were wet, the ground was slippery and mossy, and it was obvious that no one had been in or out for a long time, which also confirmed the previous conjecture that the men in black and others must have another secret passage in and out. The stone cave is two or three miles long, everyone turns east and west, walks for two quarters of an hour to see a glimmer of light, everyone is happy, knows that the exit is in sight, immediately walks a few steps, and finally comes to the entrance of the cave.
Xiao Han saw that the previous Wudang disciples jumped down one after another, knowing that there was nothing to do, and followed to the entrance of the cave, just glanced down, and was immediately stunned.
I saw that there was an empty space below, there were hundreds of acres of size, surrounded by mountains on all four walls, clouds and mist on the top, the four walls were planted with pines, cypresses and ancient poplars, and there were countless flowers that could not be named, exuding bursts of strange fragrance, revealing a strange atmosphere.
Below the entrance of the cave is a large open space, two or three hundred meters away from the open space, countless ancient pines embrace an antique gatehouse, this gatehouse is all made of boulders, there are four or five meters high, the lintel is written with the ancient seal "Dhara Zhuang" three big characters.
Under the gatehouse is a red lacquered gate, covered with copper nails, like the official yamen. The stone courtyard walls can be seen faintly behind the ancient pines on both sides of the gate, which are connected to the mountain walls on both sides. Every 10 meters, you can see a watchtower, which is supposed to be used for defense.
Shen Zidu and Zuo Longxing stood in front of the gate and watched, the two stood opposite to each other, no one cared about anyone, but they did not break in recklessly, obviously waiting for Xiao Han and them to arrive.
The world is so big that there are no wonders, who would have thought that there would be such a strange scene in the reckless Barberry Mountain, everyone was like Xiao Han, they were all surprised, and at the same time admired Chai Xinyue.
The crowd came down one after another and reassembled in front of the village. The strange thing is that this village is now silent, dead silent, as if there is no one inside.
Everyone got Xiao Han's strict order, and naturally no one spoke. After a while, Wudang three halls and twelve rudders, and the five factions were assembled, and everyone looked at Xiao Han together. Li Yueying didn't dare to speak, but just signaled him to give an order with her eyes. Murong Qiuyu frowned slightly and looked at Tuoluo Zhuang, turned his head and whispered to Xiao Han, "Why is there no movement?"
Chai Xinyue pondered after observing it: "This Zhuangzi should not be small, there will be no one, there is no movement now, it is very likely that most of the people in black are out of the valley, and there should be left-behind personnel in it now, let's not be careless." ā
Xiao Han took a few steps closer, came to Shen Zidu and Zuo Longxing, and arched his hand: "Have the two seniors found it?" Shen Zidu snorted and said: "There is no one in this village, the old man will go in and have a look now." Zuo Longxing snorted: "Who told you that there is no one? If you want to send you to death, just go in, the old man will collect the body for you in the past." ā
Shen Zidu's face instantly turned pale, and he said coldly: "Who goes to the ground first may not be sure, even if the old man has something, he doesn't need you to be courteous." Then he said to Xiao Han: "This Zhuangzi is weird, the old man will go first to investigate, and you will come in again if you have nothing to do." ā
Xiao Han shook his head and said: "The man in black has extraordinary combat power, and although the two seniors are strong in martial arts, they can't easily get into danger. Although my Wudang faction is said to be inferior to the two seniors in martial arts, fortunately, there are a large number of people and well-trained, and there must be something strange in the situation, let me break through the Qinglongtang first, if not, how about inviting the two seniors?"
When he spoke like this, the two of them naturally couldn't refute his face, and immediately flashed aside. Xiao Han turned around and called Xing Anping, and gave a few soft commands, Xing Anping was overjoyed, and immediately ordered more than 100 people from Qinglongtang to rush forward.
The heads of the five factions followed and asked for battle, but were stopped by Xiao Han with a smile. It's just that the original plan was all nullified, and Xiao Han ordered his five factions to follow in and set fire to the Wudang faction after they rushed into the village, and they must raze the entire Zhuangzi to the ground, leaving no living creatures.
The five factions were ordered to immediately reorganize the team, take out all the lighters, and countless torches were also poured with the lamp oil they had brought with them, ready to kill and set fires.
Xiao Han knew that as long as there were people, there would be property, and he declared that the Wudang faction would not take anything this time, and all of them would be divided equally among the five factions. People die for money, birds die for food, the same is true in ancient and modern times, I heard that there is money to take, and the disciples of the five factions are smiling one by one, ready to make a fortune.
Xing Anping led people to rush to the front of the village, and after observing it, he immediately ordered Qingji to break the rudder and knock open the door, and dozens of disciples immediately cut down several ancient pine trees and hit the door. The door was very strong, and dozens of people fought desperately, but it was shaken slightly, but not a single crack was exposed.
Xing Anping was furious, and immediately ordered to take the few remaining fire mines, which are now the standard in the Southern Tang Army, and they are also the secret weapon of the Wudang faction. The two Wudang disciples came up with the thunder, and everyone hurriedly withdrew a few zhang, and saw the two disciples put the fire thunder under the door and lit the fuse.
I only heard a few loud "booms", and the gate was suddenly blown open with a big hole, and the Wudang disciples were overjoyed, and Shen Zidu and Zuo Longxing were all looking at each other. They had never seen such a weapon before, and they were visibly horrified.
The same is true of the five factions, Lu Qin and the others looked at each other, shocked, imagine what the result would be if such a weapon was thrown into the crowd and exploded, there were hundreds of fire and thunder thrown down, no matter what martial arts heroes you are the first in the world, there is no scum left in Guan Bao Explosion.
Xing Anping was proud, and immediately rushed into the cave with more than 30 people from Qingji's rudder, and the two disciples opened the door from the inside, and Qingxing rudder, Qingping rudder, and Qingning rudder rushed in.
So far, everything has gone well, Xiao Han breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand to Chu Tianshu and said, "White Tiger divide the rudder to keep up, pay attention to safety." Jin Yushu agreed, and just as he was about to lead the team to rush into the village, he heard a loud noise, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, which shocked everyone and their faces changed greatly.
Xiao Han stumbled and almost fell, and said in a hurry: "What's the matter? Is there an earthquake?" Murong Qiuyu shook his head and said, "It's not good, let the brothers retreat." Without waiting for her to give an order, she saw countless boulders flying out of the village, smashing them directly towards the Qinglongtang people led by Xing Anping.
Xiao Han's face instantly turned pale, and he said sharply: "There is an ambush, retreat quickly." ā
