Yi Dan and Du Qian both looked at each other, and they lit the oil lamp and went to the place where the wall collapsed to take a look. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Seeing that there was a dark passage with no end in sight, Yi Dan said happily: "Great, maybe this is a secret passage to get out." ”

Du Qian said: "I really didn't expect that there are really many organs here, open pits and secret roads." Miss Yi, let's go in and have a look, maybe we can really go out. ”

Yi Dan said: "Well, you go and call Qiao'er and them over, and I'll explore the way for you." ”

"Well, okay. With that, Du Qian called everyone over.

Everyone followed behind Yi Dan, along the dark passage, and slowly explored forward. After walking a distance of about two zhang, we saw a circle of stone stairs in front of us, and everyone groped again, and walked up about three times along the stone stairs to the end of the secret passage.

Seeing that there was no way out, Du Qian said: "What should I do, there is no way to go ahead." It seems that this path will not work, or let's look again and see if there are any other secret paths, right?"

Everyone looked around, almost ripping off a layer of dust from the wall, but still couldn't find any trace of the mechanism.

Du Qian said: "Miss Yi, it seems that this is a dead end. ”

Qiao'er said, "Then what should we do? Or let's go back the way we came, and then think of another way, right?"

Du Qian said: "Since this is not the way out, why do you build so many stairs? It makes my head dizzy, it turns out to be a dead end, it really makes no sense." ”

Yi Dan heard Du Qian's words, and said as if he suddenly remembered something: "Du Gongzi, it was the third underground layer just now, right? Now that we have been climbing up for so long, in terms of height, there are at least two floors." That means our current position should be on the ground, right?"

Du Qian was surprised: "Yes, why haven't I thought about this truth? In that case, then we should indeed be in the position of flat land now." But why are there still stone walls around it?"

Yi Dan said: "If I guess correctly, the place where this dark path is right should be the exit." Why don't we try it with our palms and push it away together?"

"Hmm" Du Qian nodded, walked to the wall, illuminated the wall with an oil lamp, and then touched the wall with his hand. Just listen to the sand on the wall, and brush the ground and fall down.

Du Qian said in surprise: "Miss Yi, come and see, this wall seems to be made of sand and stone and is very fragile, and the sand will fall down when you touch it." ”

Yi Dan hurriedly stepped forward and touched it with his hand, and sure enough, the sand and gravel fell down again. So she used the sword in her hand to make a few vigorous strokes on the gravel, and many more gravel brushes fell down.

"Great, it seems that this gravel wall should be the exit back to the ground. Yi Dan said.

"Well, great, we have hope. Qiao'er said.

"Get out of the way, everybody, and I'll push the gravel wall away. Yi Dan said.

So everyone stepped aside, and Yi Dan used the Infinite Cirrus Cloud Palm that he had just learned in the secret room to roll up the dust and mud on the ground with the power of his palm, and struck it towards the sandstone wall.

Sure enough, the wall in front of him that had fallen off the sand was punched out of a big hole more than five feet high, and a dazzling light shone in from outside the hole.

Du Qian said excitedly: "Great, this is really the exit, Miss Yi, we succeeded." ”

"Let's wait inside, I'll go out and check the situation first. Yi Dan jumped to his feet and flew out of the hole.

She looked around closely, and saw that it was under the same bridge they had entered the valley earlier.

Seeing that there was no one around, Yi Dan cautiously shouted towards the cave: "Du Gongzi, Miss Qiao'er, it's safe outside, you all come out." ”

After the women all walked out safely, Du Qian was the last one to come out and asked, "Miss Yi, isn't this Taniguchi?"

Yi Dan said: "That's right, this is under the bridge at the entrance of the valley. ”

Du Qian said: "It turns out that this road leads directly to here." ”

Qiao'er and the other women were locked up in a dark dungeon for many days, their eyes were a little uncomfortable with the bright light, they all blocked their eyes with their hands, squinted and looked around vigilantly.

Yi Dan also had to save the others, so Yi Dan said to everyone: "I see that the eyes of the girls can't adapt to the bright light immediately, I think it is better for everyone to go back to the cave and wait for a while, and after I rescue the others, how about everyone leave together?"

Du Qian said: "Also, the most dangerous place may also be the safest." Let's go back to the cave and wait a while. ”

Everyone followed Yi Dan's advice and returned to the cave to wait.

Yi Dan said to Du Qian: "Du Gongzi, I'll go and save them first, how about you stay here to protect their safety?"

Du Qian: "No problem, I know martial arts now." Miss Yi, pay attention to safety by yourself. ”

Yi Dan nodded and said, "Okay, let's go our separate ways." ”

Du Qian, along with Qiao'er and the rest of the women, stayed at the entrance of the cave. And Yi Dan carried the oil lamp alone and returned to the underground.

Yi Dan came to the stone pillar that had sent them to the third basement earlier, and used the Infinite Cirrus Cloud Palm that he had just learned in the secret room, and broke the stone pillar with a fierce palm.

With a loud bang, the broken stone pillar fell. The ground on the second basement floor, which had lost its support, also fell.

At this time, Du Gao was standing at the entrance of the cave to investigate, when suddenly the ground fell, startling him.

In a panic, Du Gao hurriedly stretched out his head to see what was going on.

"Hey, Miss Yi, Qian'er, is that you?" Du Gao shouted down.

"That's right, it's me, Mr. Du, are you okay?" Yi Dan asked.

Du Gao responded: "I'm fine, Miss Yi, are you and Qian'er both safe?"

Yi Dan said: "We're all fine, Mr. Du, you get out of the way first, I'll come up first." ”

Du Gao answered and left the entrance of the cave. And Yi Dan stood under the hole, jumped with light power, and flew up.

Du Gao saw Yi Dan coming up, so he hurriedly asked, "Miss Yi, how are you? I was scared to death just now, may I ask where is Qian'er?"

Yi Dan said: "We found another exit, Du Gongzi is waiting for us at the exit." I'm just going to come back now and try to get the others out, and then we'll get out of this secret passage. ”

"But the big stone door is closed, and I don't know what happened to them outside. Dugo said.

"Let's find a way to open this stone door. ”

At this time, in the closed mezzanine room outside the stone gate, the water had risen to a height of nearly a zhang. Everyone, including Jiao Gongxian and Ma Buwei, could only use their hands to pick at the uneven wall of the stone wall, and climb up with the buoyancy of the water, hoping that a miracle would occur if they persisted for a little longer.

Jiao Gongxian grabbed Master Ma Buwei's clothes with one hand and grabbed the stone above his head with the other. Even so, the water was almost up to their necks, and the pool was about to fill up, and everyone would be buried in the water.

"Ahem" Ma Buwei tilted his head with difficulty and coughed twice.

"Master, are you okay, can you still hold on?" asked Jiao Gongxian.

The water had already flooded Ma Buwei's neck, and he shouted loudly: "Xian'er, you leave me alone, hurry up and find the way." ”

"No, Master, I can't leave you behind. Jiao Gongxian held the horse and said, holding on to the stone at the top of the cave.

At this time, Du Gao said in the stone gate: "Why can't you find the mechanism of this stone gate?" ”

Yi Dan asked, "Let's think about it carefully, how did Zhen Zhen open it just now?"

Du Gao said: "I saw that the person before used his foot, and he stepped on it here a few times and then opened it, but after I stepped on it a few times just now, I leaked you down." I don't dare to step on it now. ”

Yi Dan stood over, squatted on the ground and carefully observed the number of stones, and said, "Since the construction drawings here are from Yuan Tiangang's hand, they should be inseparable from the hexagram array image. You see that there are six stones on the ground, and according to the Bagua Array when we came down from above, the hexagram that opens the door should be the Dikun hexagram in the Bagua hexagram. ”

"Why do you think it's the Earth Kun Hexagram?" asked Du Gao.

Yi Dan said: "You look at the six stones, which seem messy, but they are actually symmetrical. It looks very much like the earth kun in the gossip. ”

"Well, what you say makes sense, so let's give it a try. Du Gao suggested.

After saying that, Yi Dan raised his feet and stepped on the six stone slabs in turn.

Sure enough, the heavy stone door slowly opened, and a trace of joy appeared on the faces of the two. Suddenly, an incredible scene unfolded before their eyes. I saw that under the stone gate, a huge stream of water began to gush out and rush towards the two of them.

Yi Dan hurriedly pulled Du Gao and retreated to the right side of the cave door. A huge flood gushed out from under the stone gate that slowly rose from inside, and it gushed bigger and bigger, and went straight down to the huge hole in the ground.

At this time, the Jiao Gongxian people who were trapped in the flood were taken out of the mezzanine room by the flood water due to the huge suction force of the rapid drop in the water level and rushed to the cave inside.

Jiao Gongxian helped Master Ma Buwei and shouted, "Everyone hand in hand, don't be rushed out and hit the wall." ”

Everyone listened to Jiao Gongxian's words, blocked the door hand in hand, and never let the water wash them away.

After a while, the flood water was gone, and only a small stream was still washing inside.

Yi Dan stepped forward and shouted, "Brother Jiao, are you all right?"

Jiao Gongxian said: "We're fine." Uncle Zhen is really amazing. It's disgusting to release water to flood us. ”

Ma Buwei spat out a mouthful of water, and Yi Dan hurriedly asked, "Senior Ma, how are you, are you injured?" Yi Dan asked.

Ma Buwei finished spitting water and said, "It's okay, it's just a mouthful of water." Thanks to a few of you for opening the mechanism in time, otherwise I, an old ghost, will become a water ghost. ”

Yi Dan said: "Well, since everyone is safe, let's get out of here quickly." ”

"Have you found the exit?" asked Jiao Gongxian.

Yi Dan nodded and said, "Well, I've found an exit. Come and leave with me, everyone. ”

Jiao Gongxian looked left and right up and down, and asked, "Where is the exit?"

Yi Dan pointed to the hole in the ground and said, "This is the exit." ”

Jiao Gongxian walked to the cliff-like cave and looked down, it was pitch black, and there was a rushing water flowing down from here.

Everyone also gathered around, and the echo of the underground water and the dark world made everyone feel inexplicable fear and panic. No matter how you listen to it or look at it, you can't imagine that this underground river-like place will be the exit.

Jiao Gongxian asked, "What kind of place is this?" Why is it so eerie?"

Yi Dan said: "There is another layer below here, which is where Zhen Zhen imprisoned the young woman for his amusement. ”

Ma Buwei said: "I know here. This bottom layer was originally the place where my master, Huo Yingguang, practiced in retreat. But I didn't expect that it would be used by my junior brother Zhen to do such a dirty thing, which was really humiliating to my master and ruining the century-old reputation of my martial arts hall. ”

Yi Dan said: "Well, don't waste time, let's go down quickly." Otherwise, the water below will accumulate deeper and deeper, and I am afraid that I will not be able to get out. ”

Jiao Gongxian said: "Are you sure there is an exit below? Let's go on like this, but we have to take a big risk."

Yi Dan said: "Don't worry, Du Gongzi is already waiting for us at the exit, let's hurry down, otherwise it will really be too late." ”

Jiao Gongxian looked at the bottom of the dark cave and asked, "This... How does this go down? There's no rope. ”

Yi Dan took out the nine-section whip from his bosom and said, "Use my whip, the length is just right." Everyone hurried down one by one. ”

Jiao Gongxian said: "Okay, I'll catch the whip, you go to pick them up first." ”

Yi Dan nodded, and jumped into the three underground floors where water was constantly accumulating. By the time she hit the ground, the water below had already covered her calves.

After standing firmly, Yi Dan shouted upwards, "Brother Jiao, I'm down there." Hurry up and put everyone down."

So Jiao Gongxian and Du Gao tightened their whips and put the rest of the people down one by one.

Yi Dan caught the people one by one below, and finally the two put the horse down.

Ma Buwei gently slipped down the rope and stood in the water.

Seeing that the master also fell safely. At this time, Du Gao also jumped down without hesitation, and Jiao Gongxian was the last to jump.

After meeting below, Yi Dan and Jiao Gongxian, holding Ma Buwei, led everyone together, dripping through the deep water that had already overflowed their waists, and carefully and slowly walked into the secret passage in the secret room that had just been opened.

After a while of shuttling through the secret passage, the water was about to cover their shoulders, and finally they walked up the stone staircase at the end of the secret passage. Everyone climbed up the ladder, and it didn't take long for them to come to the entrance of the cave where Du Qian and Qiao'er were waiting.

Seeing that everyone was wet, Du Qian asked, "It's great that you all came out safely." Eh, why are you all soaking wet?"

One of the prisoners said, "It's that hateful Zhen Zhen who wants to release water to drown us." ”

Du Qian asked, "No one was hurt, right?"

Yi Dan said: "Fortunately, everyone is safe, but the clothes are soaked." ”

Du Qian hurriedly took off his coat and draped it on Yi Dan.

Yi Dan said: "Thank you Du Gongzi." I don't need it anymore, I'd better give it to Ma seniors. ”

Du Qian said: "Miss Yi, you are so brave and chivalrous when you go into the dark city alone. Compared with you, I'm ashamed of myself. ”

Yi Dan said: "Du Gongzi, you are too modest, you are kind-hearted, broad-minded, and you are also a person I admire." ”

After seeing these women, Jiao Gongxian asked, "Are these women all there?"

Yi Dan said: "That's right, don't mention it, this Zhen Zhen is really too guilty." ”

Jiao Gongxian couldn't help but start looking at these women with disheveled hair and dull eyes.

Ma Buwei sighed and said: "Hey, what a sin, this underground secret room was originally the place where the ancestors of my martial arts hall practiced martial arts. They retreated here to attain enlightenment, in order to realize higher martial arts, punish evil and promote good, and protect their families and defend the country. Unexpectedly, now, Senior Brother Zhen has become a dirty place to satisfy his personal ****. If Master had knowledge in heaven, he would have been very sad. ”

Jiao Gongxian said: "Yes, the most hateful thing is that Uncle Zhen has won the false name of a decent gentleman outside, and he is indeed such a dirty person behind his back." It's just that I know people, I don't know my face, but I don't know my heart. ”

Yi Dan said: "In fact, there are many people in the world who look righteous on the surface, but in fact, their hearts are extremely dark. It seems that the human heart is really the most complex and elusive thing in the world. It's impossible to really understand a person just by a few superficial things. ”

Jiao Gongxian answered: "Miss Yi is right, people's hearts are unpredictable. I think most of them are born evil, where do they come from? ”

Yi Dan said: "Brother Jiao, in this point of view, it seems that we are quite similar." ”

Jiao Gongxian said: "Well, let's not talk about this for the time being, we can discuss this issue when we are empty in the future." We'd better get out of here first. ”

So everyone came out of the cave one after another. (To be continued.) )
