Chapter 176: Unbelievable
"Are you saying that the person who entered that secret passage has never come out, even Senior Fan?" Xiao Yuanshan asked Abi in a deep voice.
"I don't know, this is how Senior Fan's notes are recorded, his notes are recorded here, and there will be no more content in the future, I guess he entered the secret passage and never came out again, because the last recorded time was more than twenty years ago. Abi said.
"Secret Passage-Secret Passage, I remembered, didn't we find a map before? It's a topographic map of this island, is there a secret passage on it?" Xiao Feng said suddenly.
"I've already handed over the map to Shizun, did he bring it with him?" Xiao Yuanshan said.
"Uncle Zu seems to be on the table in the study. Abi said, "I'll go get it." ”
"Let's go together, the matter of interrogating the captives will be delayed first, Tang Chuan, you immediately return to the secret passage to guard, if the master and they come back, you come and tell us immediately, we will check the map, and in two hours, if they haven't come out yet, let's go in!" Xiao Yuanshan said decisively.
Not to mention that Xiao Yuanshan and they took measures, after Wang Lie and Tang Hai walked into the secret passage, they walked along the secret passage all the way in, there was no light in the secret passage, but fortunately, Wang Lie had two night pearls on his body, which happened to be used for lighting.
Since Tang Hai is just an ordinary old man now, he will naturally not walk too fast, and Wang Lie is not in a hurry to perform light skills, the two chatted and walked at the same time, and after half an hour, a fork in the road appeared in front of the two.
"There's a fork in the road, this can't be a labyrinth, right?" Tang Hai said with a smile.
"This kind of underground karst cave is not uncommon for there to be forks in the road. Wang Lie said with a smile: "There seems to be wind in both directions, which one shall we take? "There's no clue anyway. It's the same which path you explore first. Wang Lie jokingly let Tang Hai call the shots.
"If you want me to say that. If you have left or left, take the left road. Tang Hai said.
"Okay, then let's take the left one. Wang Lie said with a smile, and walked into the road on the left with Tang Hai, of course, he was not stupid, he still made a mark on the wall next to him before entering, if it was really a maze, it was good to record which routes he took.
Continue along the road. The passages in this are not very narrow, at least they can accommodate three or four people in parallel, Wang Lie checked the cave wall, there is no trace of artificial excavation, and he doesn't know how it was formed, although he has been joking with Tang Hai, he also brings his perception to the limit, and he knows the surrounding environment well, and it is good to find out in advance if there is any danger.
After walking about three or four miles, the two of them saw a fork in the road again. This time, Tang Hai still chose the left-hand passage and continued to move forward. This fork in the road appears more frequently, there is a fork in every two or three miles, and in some places there are even three or four intersections, so I don't know how long I walked, the two still did not come to the end, and I still don't know how deep the passage is.
"Hai Shao, the situation is a little wrong, this maze is too big, I don't know when we will come to the end if we go on like this, we don't have supplies, let's go back first, and then find a way to find out." Wang Lie opened his mouth and said, if he was alone, he would definitely not quit here, with his current cultivation, let alone three or five days, even seven or eight days without eating or drinking, he would not be able to die, but Tang Hai could not.
"It's okay, I'm a little tired of walking. Tang Hai said, he was not reckless, he and Wang Lie were not outsiders, and he had never been a big person, knowing that if he persisted, he might have become a burden before he could reap the rewards.
Since he decided to go back, Wang Lie took Tang Hai's arm, put one hand on his back, and led him to return the original way of light skills, one by one, the forks in the road passed in front of him, and he performed light skills faster than when he came, but in a quarter of an hour, he had already walked most of the distance, because when they came, they had been taking the leftmost road, and they were not afraid of getting lost when they went back.
After walking a little further, Wang Lie suddenly stopped and frowned.
"What's the matter, Lie Shao?" Tang Hai said with some puzzlement, although he weighed two hundred pounds, Wang Lie wouldn't be tired after walking with him for a while.
"Hai Shao, something is not good, I left marks at every intersection before, but this intersection is not!" Wang Lie said.
"How come? Although there are many forks here, it is not too complicated, we are returning the same way, could it be that you forgot to leave this intersection?" Tang Haidao.
"No," Wang Lie put Tang Hai down, they are now at a fork in the road, there is a dark passage in each of the four directions, and the underground can't tell the difference between east and west, north and south, once they get lost, it is a very bad thing.
"I leave an arrow to guide each intersection, and the walls of these four intersections are smooth as a mirror, without any traces. Wang Lie looked at it carefully.
"Did we fork in the road at the last intersection?"
"No, the intersection five miles away is marked, and I follow the direction exactly, and there will be no mistake. Wang Lie frowned, there is a possibility in this situation, that is, the secret mark left by himself has been removed, but he looked at the surrounding walls, the whole wall seems to have been scraped by a knife, this is the situation of weathering over time, he left a secret mark at that time is to use his finger force to draw the indentation of the arrow on the wall mountain, if you want to remove it, either it will leave traces, or you have to flatten the entire wall, but the razing of the entire wall is not something that can be completed in a while, and the ground is also very clean, and there are no stone chips left, what is the situation。
"What now?" asked Tang Hai.
"It's impossible for someone to follow us without being discovered by me, could it be that someone came here after we passed?" Wang Lie also frowned.
"Not good!" he was thinking about what he had overlooked, when suddenly a whimper sounded like a roar, and the voice was approaching at a rapid pace. Wang Lie came to Tang Hai's side in a flash, and the true qi in his body exploded, and an invisible true qi shield protected the two of them in it.
"This is the map. In the study room of the stalactite cave, Xiao Yuanshan sent out a map made of sheepskin from the desk, spread it out, the map was very large, almost occupying the entire desk, Wang Lie didn't take it seriously after taking it from him before, and before he had time to look at it, he put it on the desk.
"It's here. Abi saw at a glance the location of the secret passage, and pointed to a place on the map, which was marked with a circle in red handwriting.
"Maps with secret passages, great. Xiao Feng said, behind the red handwriting mark, there is an area that is almost no smaller than the area of Xia Ke Island, and the passages are entangled like a mess, which makes people dazzled at a glance, but in the mess, there are a few red and green lines, which are very likely to indicate the correct path. If you don't look at the path, in the middle of that mess, there is a big red circle, and you think it is the destination.
"This is the labyrinth, the end should be here, what kind of place will this be?" Xiao Yuanshan pointed to the red circle and said, "Abi, do you have any other relevant information?"
"I've only looked at half of the books here, and I haven't sent any other relevant information for the time being. Abi said.
"There's something wrong with this map. Mei Jian, who had been beside her without speaking, suddenly said, "Look here, why is there an empty space?" she said, pointing to the blank space on the right side of the map, which was about four fingers wide.
"There is a special kind of ink on the rivers and lakes, which is not visible after writing, and it needs to be processed by special means before the handwriting can be revealed, could it be the same here?" Mei Jian said.
"Yes, there is this kind of ink, I have seen it with my own eyes when I was in Murong's house before, either it is roasted by fire, or immersed in water, and it is smeared with a special potion, which can make the handwriting visible. Abi said with a light in her eyes.
"But what method is used for this?" Abi was a little worried.
"Don't think about it," Xiao Feng said with a smile: "Don't you smell a bloody smell on this sheepskin map, I originally thought it was left over when I concocted sheepskin, but I reacted when you said this, look at it." ”
Xiao Feng directly bit his finger and wiped it off the blank space on the map, and as soon as the blood stains were wiped up, sure enough, there was handwriting displayed, and several people were overjoyed, Xiao Feng painted the blank space, and saw hundreds of words densely displayed.
Several people looked down at the same time, and after a long time, Xiao Yuanshan let out a breath and said, "This place can actually lead to another place!"
"It's incredible, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really wouldn't believe it, even now, I can't believe it, how is this possible?" Xiao Feng also said with a shocked face.
"Uncle Shi, Uncle Shi, don't be emotional, no matter whether the secret passage leads to the Immortal Changchun Valley or not, it is said here, there will be a wind passing through the secret passage every two hours, except for a few places where you can hide, everything in other places will be destroyed, Uncle Zu They are still inside, it has already passed two hours now, hurry up and find a way."
