Chapter 18 The Hundred Mile Cave was originally an urn
Since that day, he sat on the dragon chair once on the "throne", and the three vassal kings resigned from the palace, and Zhu Wen ordered two guards to escort Xiao Ying and put him in the palace dungeon. Xiao Ying's days as emperor ended in a hurry.
The dungeon was dark and dark, and I couldn't see my fingers, it was like hell, day and night, I couldn't even hear a single cry of flies and mosquitoes, and I felt as if I was dead, and I was miserable.
At this time, he thought to himself: "I am like a monkey, I am played around, I can live for a few days, it is really hard to say, just because Zhu Wen is happy, I will take it to be slaughtered at any time." I wonder if Master and Uncle Chu have escaped, are they also like me, locked up in a dungeon that does not see the light of day?"
Thinking about the days when he used to be carefree at the knees of his parents every day, he couldn't help but feel sad and burst into tears. Why didn't he know that such days were gone, without his parents, and now he can only rely on himself to be strong.
Whenever he felt hopeless, he said to himself: "No matter how difficult it is in the dungeon, you must live! ”
In my heart, I also hoped that the soldiers of the vassal kings would press the border, kill Zhu Wen, the thief, and rescue himself, the false emperor.
But I don't know that Li Keyong and other vassal kings have their own ghosts, and no one wants to do the stupid thing of fighting with Zhu Wen first. Seeing that Zhu Wen did not claim the title of emperor, he was deadlocked for several days, and then retreated.
For more than a month, he thought crankily every day, often sleepless all night, sometimes slept in a daze, but it was a nightmare, one moment he dreamed that Zhu Wen cut off his head with a knife, and another time he dreamed that his father and mother were covered in blood and were led away by evil ghosts.
Finally, he had a good dream, he dreamed that his father and mother came back with his sister, and the family of four was reunited, and there was endless joy.
I was dreaming sweetly, and I heard the sound of knocking in a trance, and I woke up in shock, only to find that it was a dream to reunite with my parents. I couldn't help but feel joy and sorrow, and I fell to the ground and cried.
I cried for a while, and the sound of dong dong was non-stop.
First of all, he only said that this voice was also in a dream, and he did not pay attention to it when he woke up with great sorrow. At this time, the crying stopped for a while, and the sound of dong dong came into the ear drums, and I could hear it clearly, and it was pitch black all around, and I didn't know where the sound came from, and my heart couldn't help but feel creepy, and I said to myself: "Is the dungeon haunted?"
He didn't believe in ghosts and evil spirits, and since he had that strange dream in the temple behind his house, most of them have responded to this dream since then, and his heart has become confused.
The sound of dong dong was still ringing, Xiao Ying was frightened, and after a few hours, fortunately, the frightened scene that he thought of more than a thousand times in his heart did not appear.
He searched around for the source of the sound, but could not find it, only vaguely aware that the sound was coming from the prison wall.
Xiao Ying sat at the foot of the wall on the other side, I don't know when he fell asleep, when he woke up, the sound of dong dong continued, groping with his hands, the four walls were intact, nothing unusual, so he didn't take it to heart, and only thought about things in his heart.
He thought of his parents, his sister, and his master Ruchen, Chu Tianhe, Li Wan'er, and Han Shuyan, and said in his heart: "Daddy and Mom are indeed dead, and one day they must be able to get out alive, and they must go to their graves to worship." Sister doesn't know if she is dead or alive? Did Master and Uncle Chu escape? Will they come to save me? Li Wan'er is petite and weak...... Hehe, this little girl is very likable, I don't know where she is now, I hope she won't suffer like me! Han Shuyan has a miserable background, and he is also a poor person, and the master said that he has good qualifications and is a talent who practices martial arts. In the future, if there is a master like Uncle Chu Tianhe and Uncle Chu, not only will the master, Wan'er and the four of us be safe, but they will also be able to act chivalrous and righteous on the rivers and lakes, eliminate violence and peace, and naturally be very beautiful. Alas, Master saw that I had no talent for martial arts, so I went out alive, but I am afraid that I will not be able to avenge my parents' revenge......"
After more than ten hours, Xiao Ying leaned against the wall and was about to fall asleep again, but when he heard the sound of knocking louder and louder, he was a little scared in his heart.
There was a clattering sound in the ground, and it seemed as if the opposite wall had collapsed, and the dust had sneezed into his nose three times in a row.
He was shocked in his heart, scared, and surprised, not only afraid that the ghosts, demons and monsters that would come out of the opposite wall would eat him, but also hoped that the master and Chu Tianhe would have great powers and dig a hole to rescue him.
In this case, the eyes are blackened, after all, it is also more frightened than joyful. When he heard that the wall had collapsed, he got up and ran to a corner a little farther away, holding his head and curling up on the ground, his body shaking into a ball, and his heart was terrified.
I was so scared that I was going to die, and suddenly my shoulders sank, as if a big hand was on it, and I was so frightened that my heart was about to jump out of my throat, and I couldn't help screaming, jumped up, and ran away.
But I heard a voice behind me muttering something, I couldn't understand a word, and I felt that the other party was a ghost and not a human, and I didn't care about running forward without a head, and with a bang, I hit the wall, and I fell to the ground.
He fell to the ground, and although he did not faint, he could not get up and run again, and lay on his back to the sky. Only then did I find that the four walls of the prison were bright, and someone was holding a torch and walking towards this side, the fire was dazzling, and it was impossible to see the appearance of the person who came.
He was undecided, still not knowing whether the other party was a ghost or a living person, so he hurriedly hugged his head and closed his eyes to not look.
The man walked up to him, raised a torch to look at Xiao Ying's face, as if he didn't see it clearly, and muttered a few more words to Xiao Ying.
Xiao Ying couldn't understand a word, stared at each other, the firelight pierced his eyes, how could he see clearly.
Seeing that Xiao was silent, the man said in a very awkward Chinese dialect: "Prince Yelu, is it you?" Listening to this voice, it looks a little like a human.
Xiao Ying's brain was dizzy, and his eyes were almost blinded by the firelight, but he just held his head and didn't answer.
The man said, "Your Royal Highness, I am Xibru, we are here to rescue you!"
Listening to this voice, it was indeed not a ghost, Xiao Ying felt a little relieved, stretched out his arm, glanced over slightly, and saw that under the firelight, the man had big eyebrows and a high nose, not like a person in Middle-earth.
Seeing that Xiao Ying didn't answer, the man knew something was wrong, stared at Xiao Ying's face, and suddenly heard another man next to him say: "General, this person doesn't seem to be Prince Yelu." Prince Jerod should be twenty years old by now, and he was still a child. ”
For months, Xiao Ying had never even seen a ray of light, and the person who delivered the food in the prison had never seen it, and every time he silently put the food in the small hole by the wall, and the small hole did not penetrate the light, every time he felt hungry, he reached out to explore the cave, and when there was food, he had to go hungry.
At this time, the fire in the prison was bright, and his eyes hurt so badly that he could barely see the bearded man in front of him, and there was another person next to him, but he didn't see it clearly.
The general, who called himself Xibru, heard the words of the man next to him, seemed to be unconvinced, looked suspicious, and asked, "Who are you?"
Xiao Ying saw that although these two people did not look like Middle-earth characters, they were not ghosts, demons and monsters, and they were no longer afraid, and their heads were much clearer.
I didn't say a word to anyone for a few months, I was really panicked, and I was really overjoyed, and I replied excitedly and loudly: "My name is Xiao Ying, and the general will help me out!"
Xibru didn't seem to believe it, picked up Xiao Ying, looked at it carefully in the firelight, his eyes flashed, looked at Xiao Ying's eyes, and asked, "Aren't you Yelu Chunan?"
Xiao Ying shook his head. There was indignation in Syburu's eyes.
Tong Ban said next to him: "General, we have worked hard to dig for a few years, and it turns out that we have found the wrong place." ”
Xibru's face was bitter, and he sighed: "Could it be that the prince has encountered an accident?" After a little hesitation, he asked Xiao Ying again, "What kind of place is this?"
Xiao Ying told the truth.
Xi Bulu exclaimed: "What? This is the Luoyang Imperial Palace!"
Xiao Ying nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Xibru's thick eyebrows were raised, and he scolded angrily: "Fucking lamb, how did that kid measure it, and make Lao Tzu suffer so much!"
The man next to him: "I just said, these people in the Central Plains brag loudly, how untrustworthy, but our Yelu King still accepts and treats us with great courtesy, alas! How can their Central Plains emperor ever treat our Khitan people well?"
Xibru turned his head to look at the man, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, let's go!" The two of them immediately returned to the cave and sealed the entrance of the cave tightly with earth and stones, thinking that they were afraid that Xiao Ying would escape, alarm others, and ruin their big business.
Xiao Ying ran over crying and wiping away tears, the two of them seemed to be iron-hearted, and they would definitely refuse to take him out.
The entrance of the cave was sealed so firmly that Xiao Ying dug it with his hands for several days, and his ten fingers were blurred with flesh and blood, but it was to no avail.
In a hurry, it was more than a month, Xiao Ying had no hope of escaping, thinking that he would inevitably have to die here, and he was on the ground every day, pitying himself and hurting himself, and screaming bitterly.
One day, when he was bored with himself, the sound of the knock sounded again, and he was overjoyed, and thought, "It must be the prince of Jerod who saved them from the two men, and saw that I was pitiful, and came to save me again." ”
After a while, the hole in the ground opened, and sure enough, the two people lit torches again and came out of the hole.
The general Xibru said to his companions: "Be careful and be practical, don't show traces, the four old monsters of 'Fulu Shouxi', but they are strong in martial arts, and they will find and chase them, and we will not be able to return to Shangjing alive by then." This tunnel is dug here from the foot of Taihang Mountain, as long as hundreds of miles, we spent a few years, we didn't know at first, only the king tried his best to dig this tunnel, all to save the prince of Yelu out, but I don't know that the king has another mystery. This cave, in the future, we will swallow the Central Plains in the south, but it will come in handy, let him Zhu Wen guard the border as tightly as an iron bucket, we just need to give him something bright or something, something dark, haha!"
The man next to him: "'It's the Ming plank road, secretly crossing Chen Cang', general." ”
Xi Bruha laughed and said: "Fuck, the people of the Central Plains are scheming, marching and fighting, and there are so many nonsense in the crepe, I really can't remember it." ”
As he spoke, he walked to the iron gate and put his ear on the iron plate, listening for the movement.
After listening to it for a while, when he made a few sounds, he slashed open the iron door with the sword in his hand, and said in a low voice: "Let's fake the appearance of this kid escaping from the iron gate, so that no one will suspect that there is a hole in the ground." ”
The other man had already built a wall with muddy water and sand and stone at the entrance of the cave, and when it was almost done, Xibru reached out and took Xiao Ying's collar, threw it into the cave first, climbed in with him, and turned back to the man who built the wall: "You must be careful not to show half a trace." After you go out from the main gate, you have to act according to the plan, draw a map of the palace, and come to Taihang Mountain to meet with me. ”
The man who built the wall nodded in agreement as he covered it with dirt.
Xiao Ying was carried by Xi Buru in his hand, and hurried along the cave, and in less than half a burn of incense, Xi Bulu was already out of breath, threw Xiao Ying to the ground, and shouted: "You go by yourself, if you are half a step slower, I will kill you!"
Xiao Ying only said that he was kind enough to save himself out, and he didn't disobey at the moment, he opened his feet and went straight forward.
After about two or three hours, three forks suddenly appeared in the tunnel.
There was a man in his twenties standing at the fork, he glanced at Xiao Ying obliquely, and then turned his eyes away, his expression very haughty.
Xiao Ying thought to herself: "Most of this person is the prince Yelu Chunan mentioned by the two big men. ”
Xibru glared at Xiao Ying and said, "Silly boy, you can run for your life from here!" As he spoke, he pointed to the fork in the road leading to the right.
Thinking that he would soon see the light of day again, Xiao Ying was very happy in his heart, thanked Celestial for saving his life, asked him for a torch, turned around and walked towards the fork in the road on the right.
After walking for half an hour, there was a light in front of him, and his heart was so happy that it seemed to bloom, and he jumped and ran towards the light.
The light became more and more dazzling, and suddenly there was a hole in front of me.
He ran out happily, and saw that the grass and trees here were deep, and it seemed to be between a mountainside, and a large lake extended out of the foot of the mountain, and the clear water was secluded and quiet, and the sky was directly in the distance, I don't know where it was?
A few months later, seeing the light of day again, such a beautiful landscape and wonderland, Xiao Ying opened his mouth and took a few breaths, and his whole body was extremely comfortable under the relaxation and happiness.
Xiao Ying was overjoyed, and heard the sound of eating and eating at the entrance of the cave, which was like the sound of building walls in a dungeon during the day.
When he ran over to look, he couldn't help but be surprised, and saw that Xibru had a puddle of dirt in front of him, and was carrying a large stone to build at the entrance of the cave.
He was puzzled and asked, "Why is General Xi back again?, what is this hole for?"
Xiao Ying thought secretly: "His eyes are strange, I don't know why? Fortunately, I have run out, he built a wall to seal the entrance of the cave, he must be afraid that people will find out, it has nothing to do with me." ”
Now sit next to him and rest, looking at the mouth of the Sybru Seal Cave.
In a short time, when the entrance of the cave was sealed high, leaving only a mouth large, Syburu cried out inside, "Silly boy, you stay in there." We didn't want to hurt you, but if we didn't, the four monsters of 'Fu Lu Shouxi' who imprisoned the prince would surely find that the hostages had been rescued, and it would be difficult for us to escape back to Khitan. For the sake of Prince Yelu, I can only sacrifice you, so you can sit here and watch the mountains and rivers for the prince!"
After speaking, he laughed dryly, and quickly sealed the last small hole, and there was no movement for a long time.
When Xiao Ying heard him say this, he stood up in a panic, puzzled by his words, and said in his heart: "I am obviously outside the cave, but he said, 'You stay inside obediently'." What does this mean?"
Scratching his ears and cheeks, he thought for a while, and suddenly called out with an "ahhhhh I don't know what is blocked in the four corners, if Yelu Chunan can get out by himself, why bother with so much effort?"
Immediately looked around, left and right, only to find that on the surface of the jasper lake in the distance, there was a large spider silk web faintly floating.
Running forward, the spider silk became thicker and thicker, but it turned out to be a huge web of steel bars erected on the mountainside. The steel mesh extends all the way up, over the treetops, and is connected to it by a huge net.
In this way, the east, west, north and south are sealed, and the top is covered, which is really like a giant cage. The steel bar of the giant cage is as thick as an arm, sealed vertically and horizontally, that is, he has peerless martial arts, and it is difficult to get out of trouble, Xiao Ying is only twelve or thirteen years old, in such a situation, how can he still think of going out?
Out of the dungeon and into the iron cage, Rao is Xiao Ying is young and ignorant, and at this moment he also knows what is sinister in people's hearts.
He sat on the ground in a daze, thinking back on his experiences, but he couldn't help himself, and he didn't know for a moment whether this was God's arrangement or the vicissitudes of life.
He wanted to cry, but he wanted to cry without tears.
