After walking for about half an hour and more than ten miles, Wu Zheng had to stop in the face of the Sancha estuary that appeared in front of him.

Looking up at the Big Dipper in the night sky and discerning the direction, I saw that the right channel flowing down the river was flowing in the southeast direction, and the other stream meandering in the left side was coming from due north.

If it is according to what the man said just now: the northeast direction is the Black Wind Mountain where the Sword Gate is located, why don't you climb the mountain beam in front of you and climb over the high mountain in the distance?

After pondering for a moment, Wu Zheng decided to go upstream along the stream on the left.

After all, at the current speed, the sky will be bright when you reach Black Wind Mountain, and besides, the body is far from recovering, even if you reach Black Wind Mountain, you can't do anything, it is better to find a place to hide nearby for the time being, and after your body recovers, you can drive again.

What Wu Zheng didn't expect was that while walking, he was blocked by a waterfall that was fifty or sixty feet high. Since there was very little water in the stream, I did not hear the sound of water in the distance, and it was not until I stood close to the front that I could hear the rustling sound of flying water hitting rocks in the pine waves.

Turning his head to look at the steep cliffs on the shore, Wu Zheng immediately decided to spend the night here, and then find the best hiding place after dawn.

Holding Yun Lan, who was drowsy in his arms, Wu Zheng took a few more steps towards the waterfall, trying to find a gap that could block the mist in the air, so as to survive the hour before dawn. Kankan came to the bottom of the waterfall, and was hit by the perennial impact of the water falling from a high altitude, Wu Zheng suddenly stared at the back of the thin waterfall, and a black stone protruding from the waist was stunned.

Because Wu Zheng seemed to see a dim light coming out from under the dark stone just now, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye. Therefore, in order to determine whether he was dazzled, Wu Zheng stared at it in a daze for a long time.

I just said to myself in my heart: It seems that I am indeed dazzled. But suddenly I saw the dim light again, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared again.

Wu Zheng couldn't help but move his body in a hurry, quietly leaned on the cliff wall on the right side of the river, used the dark black rock wall to hide his body, and continued to observe with bated breath.

Very regular, Wu Zheng silently counted, almost every five to six breaths, there would be a burst of light.

"What could be under the stone?

Wu Zheng was basically sure that the dim light was an oil lamp or the candlelight of a candle, and it could not be emitted by some unknown animal.

After thinking about it again and again, Wu Zheng finally decided to go up and find out.

"Lan'er, can you wait for me down there?"

Yun Lan, who knew that in her arms, had also discovered the strange light, but she didn't speak out loud.

"No, I'll go wherever my brother goes. ”

Wu Zheng grinned and said, "Then it's on my back." ”

Putting Yun Lan in his arms on the ground, Wu Zheng squatted down and carried Yun Lan on his back. Since you have to use your hands and feet to climb the halfway up the waterfall, she told Yun Lan again: "You must hold me tight, and don't let go." ”

Due to the perennial water vapor, the cliff wall behind the waterfall is covered with moss, and it is not easy to climb up with Yunlan on your back. Wu Zheng had to be twelve points careful and move a little bit.

After half an hour, Wu Zheng finally came panting with his mouth open, beside the dark stone that looked like it was protruding from the cliff wall below. When I got closer, I saw what kind of stone it was, and it turned out to be a thick stump protruding from the rock wall. Because it has been soaked in water all year round, it is covered with moss, so it looks like a stone from a distance.

Sure enough, a hole was seen under the stump that could only be squeezed through by an adult bending down.

When Wu Zheng squatted down and observed carefully for a long time, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that the cave should not be deep. It wasn't until he crept in for a foot or so that he suddenly realized that the passage in the cave had turned to the left. Facing the pitch-black hole mouth that could not see his five fingers and did not know the depth in front of him, Wu Zheng hesitated. He wanted to wait for another flash of light to see what was going on inside, but he couldn't wait for the light that appeared so regularly every five or six breaths.

This couldn't help but make Wu Zheng vigilant, and just when he wanted to turn around and leave, the light that he had been waiting for suddenly appeared.

Only this time, the light was no longer fleeting, and there was a joking voice behind him: "Since you have the courage to come up, why don't you have the courage to continue?"

Wu Zheng Huo Ran turned around and found that at the entrance of the cave he had just climbed into, there was a figure far taller than himself crouching at some point.

"Who are you?"

"You can guess. ”

"Luo Jiutian?"

The reason why I guessed that this person was most likely Luo Jiutian, the head of the Sword Sect, was also affected by what the two Sword Sect disciples said that Luo Jiutian didn't seem to live in the mountain gate.

"It doesn't look stupid. ”

"You've been following us?!"

"Not all the time, after you defeated two disciples in my sect. ”

Wu Zheng said that he would never have thought that when he forced the disciples of the Sword Sect, Luo Jiutian was nearby.

Now Wu Zheng knows that his situation is even more dangerous, especially Yun Lan on his back. The exit has been blocked by Luo Jiutian, and Luo Jiutian was able to appear behind him quietly without being noticed by himself, which shows that what the Sword Sect disciple said that Luo Jiutian is very good at internal kung fu is definitely not a lie.

"Can you tell me what I must do at the Sword Gate?"

Wu Zheng's mind has been thinking about how to rush out, where to have the heart to answer Luo Jiutian's question.

"Don't waste your thoughts, if you are allowed to escape from here, won't I, Luo Jiutian, have been fooling around for so many years?"

At this moment, several sharp whistles suddenly came from outside one after another.

"Yo, why are there so many guests today?"

After speaking, he glanced at Yun Lan on Wu Zheng's back with a smile, and then shouted towards the cave:

"Big brother, Sister Yan, someone sent it to you. It's just that there are other guests in the mountains, so I have to go and entertain them first. Come back and catch up with the eldest brother and sister. ”

In the end, he greeted Wu Zheng politely and said, "I will not accompany you." ”

didn't see where Luo Jiutian moved, only to see a boulder just enough to fill the entrance of the cave fall, completely cutting off Wu Zheng's hope of escaping.

"Brother. ”

To say that he is not afraid in his heart is false, but in order to comfort Yun Lan, Wu Zheng can only strengthen his spirit: "Lan'er, don't be afraid, there is me." ”

"Brother, Lan'er is not afraid. ”

Although he heard Luo Jiutian shouting to the cave just now, he didn't hear any response from inside. At this point, Wu Zheng, who had nowhere to go, could only choose to continue to go deeper, hoping to find an escape exit from the cave.

So with Yun Lan on his back, he walked in cautiously along the long passage illuminated by the bright lights, bowing his head and bending down.
