Chapter 80: Stony Brook (2/4)

At that time, a large cedar tree as thick as several people embraced, next to the rocks, was more than ten feet high.

At the bottom of the cedar tree, for some reason, there was a large hole in the tree, which seemed to hollow out the entire trunk, and inside the hole was the rocks.

The tree hole is only about half a person high, but the space inside is enough for two or three people, although they can't stand up, but it is more than enough to shelter from the wind and rain.

When night fell, the Henglong Mountain Range in the darkness was even more like a ghost domain, except for the swishing of the yin wind and the rustling of the branches and leaves in the forest, there was not even the slightest sound of insects and birds. In this dreary night, where I can't even see the slightest bit of starlight, I don't know when another mountain rain will fall.

Xiao Suifeng and Yu Wenqian hid in the hole in the tree, in order to prevent being discovered, they didn't even make a fire, they just got some water, and ate some dry food in the dark, which was considered hasty.

Both of them are from the rivers and lakes, although Yu Wenqian has an extraordinary background and is a daughter, but she is not very squeamish, Xiao Suifeng is used to hardship on Luo Qingfeng, and he will not care.

After eating the dry food, the two of them half-leaned in the tree hole, listening to the night wind outside the tree hole, and couldn't help but gradually become quiet.

The two have been together for a long time, and when they are in the same place at this moment, even Xiao Suifeng is not as embarrassed and restrained as before. I saw his long sword across his lap, his arms folded in front of his chest, his eyes closed and enjoying the rare tranquility, as for Yu Wenqian, he was naturally leaning on his side, looking like a little bird.

The night outside the cave is bleak, but inside the tree hole, it is peaceful and warm.

......

After a night together, when I opened my eyes again, the sky was already bright.

Looking at the night last night, I thought it would rain, but the rain did not fall in the end, and the dark clouds accumulated in the sky still did not disperse after the night, so that the whole world was a gray and gloomy scene.

Xiao Suifeng was still the first to wake up, and when he saw Yu Wenqian leaning on his shoulder and still asleep, her face was calm and her breathing was even, she didn't bother her, she was still leaning motionless, just looking at the hole in the tree.

There is actually nothing special in this tree cave, Xiao Suifeng and Yu Wenqian have already explored it when they were searching before, except for the traces left by some beasts such as animal fur and bones, there is no trace of people in the cave, and on weekdays, I am afraid that only some wild beasts have settled here.

However, at the moment, Xiao Suifeng was bored, his eyes looked carefully in the hole in the tree, but his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he had found something different.

At this moment, Xiao Suifeng only heard a soft groan in his ears, turned his head to look, and saw that it was Yuwen Qian who woke up leisurely.

Although it is in the mountains and forests, and it may even encounter danger at any time, with Xiao Suifeng by her side, Yu Wenqian sleeps very peacefully. At this moment, Yu Wenqian woke up, although she still looked sad, but the laziness between half asleep and half awake was a different scenery.

It's just that today's Xiao Suifeng, in the face of the beauty and charm of this Yuwenqian, although he can't stop his heart like water, he can do it on his face, and he can do it as usual, and he will turn his head again without a trace.

"Childe, what are you looking at?" Yu Wenqian rubbed her eyes, stretched her waist slightly, and finally came back to her senses, seeing Xiao Suifeng frowning slightly and staring at the mountain rocks on the other side of the tree hole, she couldn't help but show a gentle smile on her face, and asked softly.

Xiao Suifeng glanced at him, then stretched his body slightly, and said, "That place seems to be a little strange. ”

With that, Xiao stood up with the wind and walked over half-bowed.

This tree hole is supposed to directly penetrate the entire trunk of the tree, but one side is next to the mountain rock, which is blocked, so if you don't pay attention to it, it is easy to be thought that there is only one hole.

Xiao Suifeng leaned over and stared at a stone the size of a grinding disc for a while.

They had noticed the stone before, but it didn't look like it at first glance, so they didn't examine it closely. It's just that when I went seriously at this moment, I saw that there were some scratches on the edge of this stone, faintly with some stone moving scratches, which were covered by grass and dust, if you didn't look carefully, I am afraid that I really couldn't see any clues.

Yu Wenqian also walked over with a hunched waist, and after looking at it, her eyebrows were also slightly wrinkled, and she said, "Is there any other mechanism here?"

Xiao Suifeng was noncommittal, and after groaning for a while, he suddenly made a move, and easily moved the stone the size of a grinding disc away, and a crack in the stone that would squeeze enough for one person to squeeze in it appeared in front of the two of them.

Seeing this, Yuwen Qian couldn't help but snort softly, "Is there really a secret way?"

Xiao Suifeng shook his head, "It should be naturally formed, not a secret passage, but I don't know where it leads." As he spoke, Xiao Suifeng kicked away the branches and leaves on the ground with his foot, looked at the obvious shift, and said, "Obviously, someone should have found out before us." ”

"Could this be the clue they found?" Yu Wenqian began.

Xiao Suifeng is naturally not sure, but after this mountain crack was discovered, it was deliberately covered up, which obviously shows that there should be something special in this mountain crack, otherwise, it is not worth deliberately bothering to hide it.

"Why don't we go down and have a look?" asked Yuwen Qian, eager to try.

Xiao Suifeng thought for a while, and after pondering for a while, he spoke, "Don't worry, go out and see the situation first." Yu Wenqian thought for a moment when she heard this, but she also nodded.

There are two reasons why I didn't immediately enter the crack.

First, the two had an agreement with Hou Yuanshan and others, the better it would be to meet before noon today. Of course, this agreement does not have much benefit, it was temporarily put together for their own interests, even if they do not abide by it, the two of them do not have much burden in their hearts, so the main reason is the second reason.

The second reason is very simple, Xiao Suifeng and Yu Wenqian have not gotten rid of the dangerous situation, and they don't know what is going on in the stone crack. If the two of them enter the stone crevice and find that there is no way forward, and the back road is blocked by those gang forces, it will really become a turtle in an urn.

Therefore, naturally you can't act rashly, in order to have no trouble, it's better to check the situation first, after all, it's been a night, who knows what the situation is outside?

After making up his mind like this, Xiao Suifeng moved the stone back, pressed the stone crack, covered up the traces, and restored it to its original appearance. Then, after eating some more and making some preparations, the two of them left the hollow.

As the two expected, although the night passed, but those gang forces still did not disperse, at this moment, although it was just dawn, but the search all over the mountains and fields had already begun again, looking at their appearance, it seemed that they would not give up if they did not turn over this piece of mountains and forests.

Xiao Suifeng and Yu Wenqian didn't take a few steps before they found those gang disciples, so they could only jump on the spot on a tall tree with dense foliage to take shelter temporarily, and they were naturally secretly afraid in their hearts. Those gang disciples were in groups of three or five, and they had already searched the vicinity of the tree hole, fortunately the two of them came out one step earlier, otherwise, I am afraid that they would really be blocked in the hole, and when the time comes, it will inevitably be another fierce battle.

At this moment, Xiao Suifeng and Yu Wenqian hid in a big tree and looked at the situation below.

Seeing that those gang disciples found the tree hole, and the cat went into the tree hole to check, Yu Wenqian was also slightly nervous, hoping that those sect disciples would not be able to discover the secret under the stone, but her mouth was a little silly, "Damn, why did these guys get up so early?

Looking at Yu Wenqian's stupid appearance, Xiao Suifeng couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

In fact, in this Henglong Mountain Range, there are probably few people who can sleep so peacefully like Yu Wenqian, even Xiao Suifeng himself always maintains twelve points of vigilance, who can compare with Yu Wenqian?
