Chapter 20 Watching the Bucket - Turtle Room

☆☆☆

"There is no door in this room!" Ning Yi flew to the wall of the stone room, he remembered that he was just leaning against the wall just now, and he touched the mechanism, and they fell down, and said, "There must be a mechanism!"

yes, Chris thought so too. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ning Yifei began to circle around, groping for the walls as he went.

Yin Chen also walked over and did the same thing as him.

After a circle, no clues were found.

Ning Yifei and Yin Chen noticed almost at the same time that the circle of lights on the wall seemed to be different. Ning Yifei saw Yin Chen jump lightly, and at such a high place, he grabbed the lamp handle, and it seemed that it was not effortless at all.

Seeing this, Ning Yifei did not hesitate to do the same thing with him, he flew up and jumped, but he couldn't reach the lamp handle by half a palm. He looked down at his feet, probably because the ground was soft and sandy, and it was difficult to focus.

Yin Chen tried to turn or move up and down, but the light didn't move in any direction. He rolled over and jumped from one lamp to another. The distance between the two lights was not close, but his body was very light, like a gecko, as if swimming on the wall.

After watching Yin Chen's movements, Ning Yifei seemed to understand something, tried to relax the tense muscles of his body, and was ready to jump again, he felt that the sand under his feet seemed to be like the surface of the water, and he needed better skills, and suddenly he jumped up and grabbed the lamp handle.

Yin Chen thought that Ning Yifei was very bad at light skills, but he didn't expect that his feelings would jump up when he learned his own, and thought: I didn't expect him to have a bad understanding.

Sure enough, it was very strange, and when I looked closely, I found that the lamp was not a real candle, and there was a small hole in the glass lampshade, from which the unique smell of oil emanated.

Ning Yifei was still concentrating on observing the lamp, Yin Chen had already turned around, he had checked each lamp, but there was still no response.

After the two jumped down, Yin Chen said: "I thought that such a strange lantern would hide a mechanism! Could it be that this is a secret room and can't get out?" Thinking about it, he shook his head, feeling impossible.

Ning Yifei suddenly shouted: "I remember, I read it in a book, according to legend, this lamp was made by Lu Ban's apprentice, called 'glass candle'! ”

Compared to the glass oil lamp, the two "rattling" sounds of water under his feet attracted Chris's attention even more.

Yin Chen asked, "Then what is the mystery of this glass candle?"

Ning Yifei shook his head: "I don't know, I just suddenly remembered to see it in the book!"

Yin Chen said: "Alas, make me happy in vain!"

"Whoa" was two more sounds, and Chris noticed something, and immediately became alert: "Shh

The two stopped talking.

There was a constant sound of water waves in the stone chamber, and it was the water flowing, and a large amount of water suddenly gushed out, and the sand was also surging with the current. They hurried to the higher place, the water rose very quickly, and the sand on the lower side was waist-deep, and there was a salty smell in the water, which Chris was familiar with, it was the smell of seawater.

Suddenly, Chris saw a huge black shadow in the water in the distance, slowly floating towards them, Chris was startled, obviously Ning Yifei and Yin Chen also saw it, the three of them looked at each other nervously, slowly moved back, and leaned against the wall. They stared at the water, and the black shadow floated slowly, and suddenly floated upward, and a large turtle with green skin and black spots suddenly emerged from the water! As soon as it touched the beach, it began to crawl slowly. The turtle was the size of a square table, and it was extremely slow, soaking wet, and crawling into the middle of the sand.

Immediately afterward, turtles of all sizes emerged from the water and crawled towards the sand, and these turtles were significantly smaller than the first one.

They crawl slowly towards the sandy shallows, some lazily lying on them, others digging up the sand to trap themselves inside. Soon the sand of the circular stone chamber was crawling with turtles of all sizes, who didn't care at all about the people around them, and there was water and mud stirred up everywhere, and Chris and the others were squeezed by the walls of the stone chamber and couldn't move.

Seeing that these large sea turtles were not aggressive, Chris and the others were a little relieved. Ning Yifei's eyes were sharp, he pointed to the largest turtle that crawled out first, and shouted, "Look, there is something on the back of that big sea turtle!"

The three of them exchanged expressions with each other, Yin Chen jumped on the back of a sea turtle, the turtle did not react at all, he jumped on the back of another sea turtle, and jumped towards the big sea turtle like this, and soon reached the edge of the big sea turtle. He reached out and touched the bamboo tube on the turtle's back, and found that the bamboo tube was firmly glued to the turtle's back with fish glue. So, he unscrewed the bamboo pipe and found that it was a rolled piece of parchment inside. Chris and Ning Yifei also jumped over from the turtle's back.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of "rumbling" behind them, and the three of them looked back to see that the wall of the stone room was slowly raised.

"Exit!" thought to the three of them at the same time, and when they looked at the raised stone wall, there was a pair of multi-eared bast shoes with red pompoms hanging from the toes.

Someone! Yin Chen immediately flew up and jumped up, tapped the turtle's back with his toes, and swept towards the stone gate.

The first thing Chris thought of was to hide and get closest to the exit. She also immediately got up and rushed towards the stone gate.

The figure next to him flashed, and Yin Chen couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw it, because he found that Ouyang Feng started slower than himself, but his speed was extremely fast, and he overtook him in an instant, jumped next to the stone door that was being opened, and jumped onto a glass lamp with a little stone wall on his toes. Yin Chen followed and landed on another glass lamp. He was amazed in his heart, he had never seen such light skills, and his body was like a ghost.

Chris grinned at Yin Chen, but suddenly remembered, what about Xiaofei?

Ning Yifei just ran a few steps towards the door, but he didn't have time to jump up. Chris hurriedly made a gesture to him, and he had to lean down and hide behind a few turtles.

A young man with two buns walked in, dressed in a short pink brown robe, with a red silk wrap around his waist, and a long wooden stick in his hand.

He looked very happy to see the turtles all over the ground, walked up to the muddy and sandy peninsula, went straight to the largest turtle, opened the bamboo pipe, and muttered, "Huh? ”

He suddenly noticed something, and when he looked up, he found two people hanging against the wall!

"What people!"

Chris and Yin Chen jumped off the wall, and Ning Yifei also jumped up and rushed towards the open stone door.

The young man immediately chased after Ning Yifei, he stepped to the stone gate in a few steps, stretched out the long stick in his hand, and sent it to a glass lamp, the head of the rod pressed a small hole in the glass lamp, and the flame in the lamp was extinguished instantly, and then the stone door fell down. Looking at the falling stone door, Ning Yifei's heart also sank.

Chris and Yin Chen had already rushed out of the door at this time, and when they heard the stone door sliding behind them, they looked back, only to find that Ning Yifei was locked inside.

Chris said: "We can't leave Xiaofei alone!"

Yin Chen looked at the stone room and said, "There must be a mechanism to open this door!"

At the same time, there was a rustling sound from the tunnel above the stone chamber, not like Chris's and them rolling down in embarrassment, he used his strength to easily slide down in the tunnel, this person was Hong Qili. Seeing that the front was bright, knowing that it was to the exit, he used a jack pendant, his body sank, and the speed of the slide immediately slowed down, and he stopped lightly at the exit of the tunnel. After wandering the rivers and lakes for a long time, he would not go out rashly, he poked his head out first and glanced in, and saw Ning Yifei and another person standing below.

Ning Yifei was blocked by the long stick in front of him, and failed to get out of the stone gate, and the two confronted each other.

The young man showed a hideous expression and asked, "Who are you? The Shadow Turtle Secret Letter was stolen by you, and hand it over quickly!"

Ning Yifei didn't speak.

The young man flipped his wrist and the tip of the long rod pointed straight at his throat.

Ning Yifei leaned over to avoid each other and ran away. The young man stabbed him back obliquely, the tail of the stick was equipped with a sharp iron head, and he was about to be stabbed, Ning Yifei's body turned slightly, two by two, and he dodged it.

The young man saw him dodging the past, he was not surprised, there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth, he turned around and crossed the stick, the round long stick whirred with a sound, the power was amazing, Ning Yifei had to dodge, he retreated step by step, and the young man pressed step by step.

Hong Qili looked at the two of them, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in his heart: The long weapon is one inch long and one inch strong, Xiao Fei himself is also a person who is used to using sticks, this truth will not be understood, now that there is no weapon in hand, he should bully himself and fight with the other party.

Hong Qili saw that Ning Yifei was tied up and a little anxious, but he didn't plan to make a move, he was watching in secret, firstly, he was very clear about the young man's kung fu, and secondly, the opponent was not using a sharp blade, and it was too late to make a move himself in case of danger. Since he had the plan to take Ning Yifei as an apprentice, he wanted to take this opportunity to see this child's martial arts understanding.

The round stone house was not big, and Ning Yifei was quickly forced into a corner.

Seeing that the long stick was sweeping towards him, in a hurry, Ning Yifei lowered his body, and a move of "general ambush" could be drilled under the stick.

Who knew that a force pulled him back, Ning Yifei looked down, and the red silk around the young man's waist didn't know when it was wrapped around his right wrist, he was startled, and just tore open the red silk, but saw a long stick with a pointed tip piercing.

This time it was extremely fast, and if it was too late to dodge, it would hit the vital point. Ning Yifei was already unavoidable, he shouted, stretched out his left arm to meet the stick, and punched the man in the face with his right hand. In a hurry, Ning Yifei used the Taizu stick method that he had already practiced, and this move was called "Go to the office", which was a fist method sandwiched in the stick method. Block your opponent's weapon with a stick, then punch your right hand straight to the door in front of you. This should have been an extremely strong punch, but because Ning Yifei was blocking with his bare hands, his left arm was in pain, and he lost his head with a punch in his right hand, only causing the man's nosebleed to flow out, but he was not seriously injured.

The young man wiped his nosebleed with his sleeve, his face flushed, and scolded: "Little bastard, the little master has three heads and six arms! Let you taste the power of the "Seven Killing Sticks"!"

Hong Qili was a little puzzled, he had never heard of any "Seven Killing Sticks". He saw that although the young man's moves were fierce, his moves were bland, and he could only bluff people for a while, and he didn't necessarily have much profoundness, as long as Xiao Fei dismantled the tricks with his heart, he would definitely be able to find flaws.

Attacking with a pointed move, the young man turned the long stick in his hand into a spear, this move "picked a line of guns", three times quickly stabbed out, Ning Yifei dodged and dodged, and when the pointed head hit the fourth attack, the bullet came, and the young man shouted: "Go!" stabbed Ning Yifei's thigh and cut a hole in his trousers.

The long stick has been handed over again, swept and picked, and divided the upper and lower plates. Ning Yifei was difficult to resist for a while, and with a quick move, he slid in front of the young man, and the long stick naturally couldn't be collected so quickly. Ning Yifei's left arm went up a dot, but his right arm went down, and he went straight to the opponent's knee, which was a move in Taizu's stick method, "Flat Sticky Knee", the person was caught off guard, and was hit in the knee with a punch, but Ning Yifei's strength was small, and he only made him scramble.

Both of them retreated a few steps, Ning Yifei's left arm was faintly painful, but his heart was bright, why not use his arm instead of a stick, and perform the Taizu stick method? He thought in his heart, his feet had already moved, and the other party swept a stick again, his body shook, Ning Yifei made a move, his right arm slashed, and his head circled down, it was a move "dark cloud cover", the opponent saw that this split came quickly, and he was busy blocking the stick, this time Ning Yifei would not be hard to touch, he withdrew his hand, turned his feet, and his left arm had swept out, but it was a move to "ride the green dragon upside down" , a punch hit the man in the jaw, this punch was very heavy, only to hit the man dizzy, stumbled under his feet, and almost fell. Although Ning Yifei didn't have a stick in his hand, he gradually felt a lot more comfortable when he used the stick technique, and the opponent's offensive was no longer fierce.

Hong Qili has been watching the competition below, and sure enough, as he expected, this so-called Seven Kills Stick is just a loud and scary name, but in fact, there is no change, although Xiaofei is initially disadvantaged, even in distress, but he can be in a hurry and know how to be flexible, which makes him very pleased.

The young man attacked again, and the attack was still the seven consecutive moves in the "Seven Killing Sticks", after four stabs, he first picked up and then swept, Ning Yifei defended his last move, and sure enough, after the powerful sweep, the tip of the long stick smashed down towards the top of Ning Yifei's head. This move is powerful, but there is a very big closing action, which is a flaw. Ning Yifei got into it again, maneuvering with the other party between his arms, he became more and more comfortable, and he was already attacking more and defending less.

The young man was even more annoyed, he quickened the movements in his hands, his hands were faster and more ruthless, and his strength was so fierce that he couldn't wait to put Ning Yifei to death with every move.

Ning Yifei saw that although the opponent's "Seven Killing Stick" was a few points faster than just now, the tricks were the same as before, so he let go of his courage to attack closely. Seeing him approaching, the young man withdrew his long stick backwards, and at the same time showed a hideous smile on his face, he tricked Ning Yifei to attack these times, just to let him know the power of his big killing move "Burning the Sky".

Ning Yifei was waiting to step forward, but the opponent's stick head suddenly erupted a stream of flames, which was sprayed in front of him in an instant, and Hong Qili, who was fighting on it, was also shocked, and said that it was not good, and was about to jump down to save people, but he saw that Ning Yifei's reaction was not slow, although he was provoked by the fire, he did not panic, turned around, flew up a leg, he made a move in Taizu's stick method, "Tiger Warping Tail", which hit the opponent's chest, the man snorted and flew straight out. When Ning Yifei turned around to look, the man was on the ground, unable to struggle.

Hong Qili was very happy in his heart, and he jumped from a high place.

Ning Yifei was still in the afterglow of the fierce battle, who would have expected that there would be others, his heart was slightly shocked, his remaining strength had weakened, and he was defenseless, but when he looked up, it was a familiar face, and he said happily: "Brother Hong, why are you ......?"

Hong Qili asked eagerly, "Xiaofei, how is the injury?"

Ning Yifei's clothes on his left shoulder were burned, but fortunately, the skin and flesh were only picked up by the fire, and a large piece of it was burned red, Hong Qili checked the injury, and was relieved to see that it was okay. He took out a small bottle from the pocket of his clothes, which was the healing medicine "Five Steps Snake Oil" made by the beggars, and he said while helping Ning Yifei to take the medicine: "These days, don't let the burned place see water, you keep this medicine and apply it twice a day!"

Ning Yifei nodded, and then said, "I'm also a cook, and it's not the first time I've been burned by fire, so don't worry!"

Hong Qili knew that Ning Yifei was a child who could endure hardships, and when he saw that the stick on his left arm was more seriously injured, it was red and swollen, and he was a little distressed. However, there was more joy in his heart, he knew that this was an important step that Ning Yifei had to take in his growth, and this child would definitely live up to his expectations.

He recalled Ning Yifei's last kick just now, in a hurry, he rushed forward in the face of fire, and turned the stick method into a leg method, and it was so powerful. Heart Dao: This well-known and simple Taizu stick method, as long as it is applied flexibly, it can also exert great power. Sure enough, it is the simplest avenue, and if this trick can be carefully scrutinized, the power can be even greater.

Hong Qili came back to his senses and said, "What kind of place is this!"

Hong Qili had already seen the turtles in the center of the stone house, and those turtles didn't seem to care about the fight just now, lying in the sand and mud.

Ning Yifei glanced at the young man who was lying on the ground and fainted, and said, "He said that these are shadow turtles. ”

"Shadow turtles, these turtles seem to be trained and not afraid of people!"

Ning Yifei nodded, pointed to the largest turtle, and said, "These turtles seem to be able to deliver letters, Yin Chen took the letter on the turtle's back." ”

The wind on this Salmon Island is strange, and the return flow is urgent, can't the carrier pigeons of the beggar gang fly in, and only by relying on this turtle can they communicate inside and outside? Hong Qili thought of this, and suddenly realized that Ning Yifei had said an unfamiliar name, and he asked, "Yin Chen?"

Ning Yifei talked about how they fell into the tunnel and entered here, and how they knew about Yin Chen pretending to be Zhang Changbei.

Nodding, Hong Qili said slowly: "I didn't expect Zhang Changbei to be dressed up as a person from the Netherworld Palace, fortunately, it is clarified that he has nothing to do with Yue Yu'er's affairs, now I just need to concentrate on dealing with that female killer, I want to see what kind of moth she wants to make?"

Ning Yifei had flown to check the glass lamp just now, and recalled the young man's action of turning off the light just now, he said: "Brother Hong, there is a small hole in the lamp in the wall, if you use that person's long stick to block the small hole, you can extinguish a lamp, so that you can open the door of the stone room!"

Hong Qili nodded, and was just about to walk over to get the long stick on the ground, when he saw that the door of the stone room had slowly risen.

"Xiao Fei!" Chris and Yin Chen rushed into the stone room together, but they met Hong Qili, and both of them couldn't help but be stunned.

Hong Qili stared at the person behind Chris, he was still the slender Zhang Changbei who looked like a bamboo pole, with dead eyebrows and dead eyes, and a gloomy face.

At this time, Yin Chen had already changed back to Zhang Changbei's face.

The tall and sturdy figure was wearing a black night suit, Hong Qili's sword eyebrows were raised, his expression was cold and resolute, and he always revealed a strong aura.

Yin Chen took a step forward, his voice was flat, but his tone was slightly stiff: "Gang Master Hong, when I meet the Moon Girl Pingshui in the next place, I will definitely not do anything to hurt her." When he said this, firstly, he was somewhat intimidated by the majestic beggar gang leader Hong, and secondly, he was really worried about Yue Yu'er's situation, and what he said was from the bottom of his heart.

Hearing this, Hong Qili knew in his heart, he also knew that the Hunting Palace was not quite the same as the other members of the Killer Alliance, although it was also a matter of taking people's lives, but there were strict rules, and the beggar gang had always been in good hands with the river water, and now there was no need to make enemies at will. He said calmly: "Xiao Fei has already told me about you. ”

Chris chimed in, "Why did you fall in?"

"I searched around after I separated from you, and I didn't see you for a long time, and then I found that the tunnels for ventilation led in all directions, leading to all rooms, and I simply came in to find out, and as I walked, I ran into this place. ”

Hong Qili asked, "I heard Xiaofei say that the door of this stone room needs to be turned off before it can be opened, how did you get in?"

Just about to answer, Chris turned his face and suddenly saw that Ning Yifei was injured, she rushed to him immediately, and when she saw the wound, she couldn't help worrying, raised her eyes and asked: "Why are you in front of you, and let Xiaofei suffer such a serious injury!"

Hong Qili was silent.

"Don't blame Brother Hong, I've been drugged, this injury is not in the way!"

The five-step snake oil worked very well, and the red marks on the shoulders had been reduced a lot, but the injured arm was becoming more and more red and swollen.

Chris said: "I'll give you a cold compress when I go back, and then put on some bone-setting medicine, and you need a hot compress after twelve hours." ”

Ning Yifei said: "Brother Feng will still heal his injuries?"

Chris nodded, this is the way modern medicine deals with soft tissue injuries, and it is still somewhat useful.

Chris suddenly remembered something and said to Yin Chen: "Yin Chen, you show him the secret letter!"

Yin Chen immediately handed a piece of parchment to Hong Qili, which was the secret letter in the turtle's back bamboo tube.

It reads: The shadow guard is coming, the enemy is present, and don't startle the snake.

"Shadow Guard?"

Chris knew very well in his heart that the reference in this secret letter must be the shadow guard of his Iron Buddha Hall. I want to annihilate Salmon Island in one fell swoop, but someone has sent a message to the people on the island?

Hong Qili thought of the martial arts masters around Wang Xu, and guessed: "Could it be that Wang Shu was really sent by the imperial court to catch thieves?"

Shrugging, Chris said, "Anyway, this letter can't be seen by the people on the island." ”

"Then what should he do?" Yin Chen reminded everyone, he looked at the person lying on the ground, his eyes were full of murderous intent.

The young man just fainted, how could Ning Yifei hurt people who couldn't resist, but it was better not to let people know about what they sneaked in, and when he was struggling, he saw Chris walk to the side of the big sea turtle, take off the bamboo pipe on his back, and said, "I have a way." ”

Chris asked Hong Qili to light the young man's sleeping hole, and several people dug a pit in the sand, put the young man and the long stick in it, and then cut off the two ends of the bamboo pipe, let the young man's mouth hold the bamboo pipe for him to breathe, and finally covered it with sand, no one knew that there was a living person buried here. After a few hours, he woke up and was able to pick up the mud and sand from his body.

"We were already gone, and we weren't afraid of him calling someone. Chris said smugly.

Hong Qili said: "Let's explore this Black Stone Fort again and see if we can find Yue'er!"

The rest of them all nodded heavily.

A few of them walked out of the stone room, and there was a basalt relief on the wall on the left side of the stone door, Chris pointed it out to Hong Qili and Ning Yifei, and said, "This turtle with a snake tail is the mechanism, and Yin Chen found it just now." ”

Ning Yifei said in his heart: This is obviously Xuanwu. Although Brother Feng is knowledgeable, he often doesn't know the most common things.

Chris stepped forward and twisted the turtle's head, and the stone door slowly fell. She looked at the snake's tail again, and pulled it with her hand, but it didn't seem to move.

A few people chose a path and moved on.

In the stone chamber behind them, the turtles suddenly crawled out of the mud and sand one by one, as if they had received some signal, and quickly burrowed under the water, disappearing into the black water.

It was as if no one had been in the Shadow Turtle Room.
