Chapter 83: Father and Daughter (1/4)
The secret passage in the tree hole is naturally formed, and the stone crack at the entrance is very narrow, which can only accommodate one person.
Xiao Suifeng and Yu Wenqian drilled into the stone crevices one after the other, at the beginning, the passage was still dark, and they could only bow their bodies and move slowly in the tortuous mountain road, but they couldn't walk dozens of zhang, and there was a bright light in front of them, and the passage was gradually opened, and it didn't take long for it to come to an end.
The length of this first section of the stone crevice passage is only forty or fifty zhang, and the twists and turns are calculated, and it is only less than ten zhang to go down, so it is naturally impossible to go down to the canyon so easily.
Xiao Suifeng and Yu Wenqian drilled out of the stone crack to take a look, and sure enough, what everyone was on at this moment was a protruding platform on the cliff, about the size of a zhang square, which was really steep.
Looking at the edge of the platform, next to the cliff, there is indeed a winding mountain road like a sheep's intestine, leading to the bottom of the canyon.
This mountain road seems to have been formed by perennial rain erosion, clinging to the cliff wall, very narrow, the widest is only four or five feet, and the narrowest place is probably narrower than a person's body.
Walking on such a mountain road, one wrong foot is the end of broken bones, so almost everyone held their breath and walked up one by one, not daring to push at all.
Looking at the mountain road in front of him, Hou Yuanshan, who looked at the cliff on one side, and Xiao Suifeng and them couldn't help but exclaim, "This dangerous road, even the people of the rivers and lakes who have practiced light skills are a little frightened in their hearts, then Liu Laoqi actually dared to go down like this with an ordinary mountain name, no matter what the others, he was so bold, but it was also commendable!"
Xiao Suifeng looked at the cliff with an indifferent face, but said coldly, "What is there to praise, he was also forced into a desperate situation, and he had no choice." ”
Hearing Xiao Suifeng say this, everyone couldn't help but be indifferent.
Indeed, such a dangerous mountain road, even if they are people from the rivers and lakes, they are not far away to try it, let alone mountain people like Liu Laoqi? And it is rumored that he also has a little daughter by his side, even if he is used to taking herbal adventures all year round, how can he easily take his little daughter on the adventure with him?
In the final analysis, it is just a desperate situation, and you can only take risks.
However, who forced Liu Laoqi's father and daughter to this dead end? It seems that it is his own group of people.
Yu Wenqian also glanced at Xiao Suifeng, and secretly said that his own Xiao Gongzi usually looks like a ruthless person, but these soft thoughts always pop up in his heart from time to time. Of course, if he just thinks about it, but if he has to say it to make the listener uncomfortable, it is really hard to cry and laugh.
Of course, Yu Wenqian herself is not uncomfortable, if she has an idea, she is only moved.
When she entered the mountain with Xiao Suifeng, she knew that Xiao Suifeng was actually not too willing to participate in the competition for the Martial Saint Tomb, and the reason why she finally participated was largely for the sake of Yu Wenqian. A man, for her Yu Wenqian would rather go against his own will, what else does Yu Wenqian have to complain about.
It's just that Yu Wenqian herself won't feel uncomfortable, but others don't necessarily.
Seeing that everyone was looking at Xiao Suifeng strangely, and stopped talking one by one, Yu Wenqian knew that the slander against Xiao Suifeng in these people's hearts at this moment was probably indispensable.
It's just that in the current situation, everyone's minds are on the very dangerous mountain road, but they don't have much time for them to think about it, so they set out nervously one by one on the mountain road.
Xiao Suifeng and Yu Wenqian naturally walked up, but this time, Yu Wenqian walked in front, and Xiao Suifeng followed behind.
Xiao Suifeng has nothing to fear, or rather, since he personally experienced the tragedy of his family's annihilation, it can be said that there is nothing worth him to fear in this world.
I'm not afraid of death, but are you still afraid of being high?
Xiao Suifeng was not afraid, but Yu Wenqian, who was walking in front, was obviously still a little nervous.
Yu Wenqian does not have a fear of heights, but walking on a narrow mountain road that is not much wider than her body, with the whistling mountain wind in her ears and the abyss of the canyon at her feet, in this case, it is really not easy to do it with a heart.
Seeing that Yu Wenqian's breathing was a little short, Xiao Suifeng didn't get closer, almost stuck behind Yu Wenqian, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm behind you." ”
Hearing Xiao Suifeng say this, Yu Wenqian was slightly stunned, and then her body was obviously much more relaxed, and her feet were also a lot lighter.
This mountain road is obliquely down, straight to the canyon, counted, not more than a thousand zhang distance, if it is placed in the ordinary, with the foot power of these Jianghu people, a moment of effort can be walked. But now walking on the mountain road on the edge of the cliff, it took more than half an hour, and even sweated profusely, before finally going down to the bottom of the cliff.
At the bottom of the cliff is the real Stone Creek Gorge.
At this moment, the sky was already dark, and in this Shixi Gorge, the cliffs on both sides blocked the light, so that the canyon was even darker, obviously it was just noon, but in this canyon, it seemed that it was almost night.
Xiao Suifeng and Yu Wenqian went down to the canyon and looked around.
In the canyon, there are not many big trees, many of them are dwarf trees and shrubs, Xiao looked at it with the wind, only to see a hundred or ten zhang away, a white stream was faintly visible, it should be Stone Creek, and in the canyon on both sides of Stone Creek, there are countless large and small stones, the name of Stone Creek Gorge is derived from this.
"This Shixi Gorge is winding and winding, and it is dozens of miles long, and if you want to find someone in it, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort. Yu Wenqian also looked at the surrounding situation, and couldn't help frowning and whispering.
Xiao Suifeng nodded silently, glanced at Song Yu who came down before them, and said softly, "Maybe it's better to search separately." ”
As Xiao Suifeng said, after everyone went down to the canyon together, Song Yu really proposed to act in groups.
There were more than 30 people in total, divided into four groups, and they searched for them along both sides of the stone creek in the north and south directions.
Speaking of which, Xiao Suifeng and his group have the largest number of people, there are eleven people, in addition to the original nine, there are two more latecomers with somewhat suspicious identities. Of course, it's not just Xiao Suifeng's group, the other two groups also have two latecomers each, not to mention Song Yu's group.
Seeing Song Yu's arrangement, everyone looked at each other, and their hearts suddenly became clearer.
The dozen or so people who came after must have a close relationship with Song Yu, and Song Yu's approach at the moment was obviously to control each group by installing his people.
For Song Yu's approach, everyone actually didn't have many objections, after all, what everyone agreed at the beginning was to work together to find the tomb of the martial saint, and Song Yu's arrangement was reasonable. It's just that the appearance of these later dozen people is too mysterious, and the relationship with Song Yu is too special, which shows that Song Yu is obviously not as he said, the background is simple, but this is the most vigilant place for everyone.
It's just that Song Yu doesn't show any bad intentions at the moment, and the strength of his side also vaguely has the upper hand, so although everyone has some doubts in their hearts, no one is willing to provoke.
Song Yu himself saw that everyone was afraid of him, but he didn't say anything about it, and still made arrangements as if nothing had happened, "It shouldn't be a problem for us to go down to the canyon first and find Liu Laoqi first, the question is, if the Martial Saint Tomb is not in this canyon, how can we bring the news of Liu Laoqi out of the gang encirclement that came later." After all, the secret passage leading from the top of the cliff to the Stone Creek Gorge may not be discovered soon, and when the time comes, those gangs will surely descend into the canyon as well. ”
Hearing him say this, everyone looked cold, knowing that what Song Yu said was the truth.
Seeing everyone's solemn faces, Song Yu then said solemnly, "If you want to get out of that powerful gang safely, it is definitely difficult to enter the sky with your own strength, so no matter which group discovers Liu Laoqi first, you must join the rest of the group as soon as possible." Remember, only by working together will we have the last chance to have the last laugh!"
