Chapter 5 Underground Entrance

Today there was a light rain in the mountains, very damp, along the way I saw a lot of animals, unknown birds, pheasants, roe deer, etc., I even saw a small leopard in the distance, and a wild boar, Jiang Xiaobei saw it from a distance and was so frightened that he didn't dare to come out, and luckily shot a pheasant.

In the evening, perhaps because it was not the rainy season, Huang Xingye and others chose to camp on the dry riverbed, Jiang Xiaobei also found some endangered alder trees not far from the river, so he set up a tent on the side of the alder tree, and when disposing of the pheasant, because he could not make a fire, he had to cut it with a knife, and then cut off the meat inside and put it in the pot to cook and eat, and the remaining bones were thrown far away.

There was nothing to say all night, on the third day, the road conditions became more and more difficult to walk, Huang Xingping slowed down the pace, stopping and stopping all the way, Jiang Xiaobei guessed that it may have been close to the destination, although the three-day journey was difficult to walk in the mountains and forests, but it was also deep in the mountains, and then became more and more cautious, quietly narrowed the distance a lot, but heard some of their conversations.

"Master, after walking for three days, how far will it be to get there, can't it be that you are going in the wrong direction?" Huang Xingping asked Zhang Yedao.

"You can't be wrong, although there have been some big changes between 20 years ago and now, but I still remember clearly, there is a river not far ahead, and there is a small waterfall upstream, and after passing that waterfall, you will reach the place."

"It turns out that he is still a master and apprentice, hum" Jiang Xiaobei clenched the crossbow in his arms, and walked here, although Jiang Xiaobei didn't know where he could go with the old man Zhang Ye, but if he was discovered, he had a conflict with them, and he was afraid that he would not be good.

The young man also asked him, "Master, what kind of place is this, why do you have to wait twenty years to come?"

"It seems that it is also coming, I tell you that it is okay, you can see this place, I am afraid that it is the luck of ten lifetimes of cultivation, that place ordinary people dare not think of, you go out to talk to others, I am afraid that no one will dare to believe it, and it is not that you have to wait for twenty years to come. ”

Zhang Ye stroked his beard, and there seemed to be some nostalgia in his eyes.

"The first time I walked into this place was 60 years ago, when I was only in my twenties, and I came a few times later, but I couldn't get in again, the key to open it was still there, but the thing that opened the key was gone."

"Is it the warm jade that opened the key?" asked Huang Xingye.

"That's right, it's this thing, if you hadn't found it by chance, I wouldn't have come back here again" Zhang Ye looked extremely happy, and he spoke more.

"Only the three of us can know about this matter. Zhang Ye looked at Huang Xingye and lowered his tone, but his eyes looked at the bodyguard who was holding a long knife in front of him.

Huang Xingye nodded and didn't speak.

Jiang Xiaobei followed behind and was surprised, he hadn't arrived at the destination, he was already calculating his own people, and he couldn't see that the old man Zhang Ye had a peaceful face, but he was such a ruthless person.

After hearing these words, Jiang Xiaobei didn't dare to be too close, and stretched the distance again and hung far behind.

Sure enough, after walking a short distance, I found a small river, which was overgrown with trees, vines and cattail plants.

Everyone went up along the river, and gradually the river widened, and the river that was originally hidden in the vegetation also had a rocky beach river that had been washed out for many years, and the sound of the waterfall could be heard in the distance.

The line of sight widened, Jiang Xiaobei naturally didn't dare to get too close, until he could see a waterfall pouring down, and there were no trees and weeds on the surrounding large range of rocky beaches, and next to the waterfall was the stone wall formed by the fault of the address and spread into the distance.

At the moment, he hid behind a big tree in the distance, and after seeing Huang Xingye and the others walking through the waterfall, they turned into the rocky beach next to them, because there were many big rocks on the rocky beach blocking the view, they couldn't see them.

After waiting for a long time, he didn't see them coming out from behind the stones, Jiang Xiaobei was surprised, the rocky beach couldn't hide people, even if there were stones blocking the view, but the other end was also empty, there was no reason not to see people.

Jiang Xiaobei had the courage to touch it, squatted behind a stone and quietly probed out, and couldn't help but widen his eyes, Huang Xingye and his party really disappeared.

"Hell, I didn't see any entrance hidden" Seeing that no one was there, Jiang Xiaobei walked out and carefully observed the stone wall where Huang Xingye and the others walked.

frowned, looked around, really didn't find anything, the stone wall was naturally formed, and there was no trace of human carving, thought about it, turned his head and groped with his hands little by little from where the waterfall started.

Then he groped until he reached a somewhat reddened stone wall, and Jiang Xiaobei's hand suddenly reached into the stone wall.

"It's amazing, it's just, it's ......" Jiang Xiaobei's eyes widened, his left hand had disappeared deep into the stone wall, but it was still an ordinary rock in his sight.

Swallowing his saliva, Jiang Xiaobei tried to slowly stretch his body into the stone wall, and finally the whole person ...... after falling into the rock.

At this time, there is a rock cave in front of you, winding down, I don't know how long, although the sun can't shine in, but the strange thing is that the cave stone wall is dotted with these unknown sand Shuo, can exude a hazy brilliance, under the illumination of many sand Shuo, the sight in the stone cave is soft and clear.

As soon as he turned his head, there was an ordinary stone wall behind him, and the sound of the waterfall had completely disappeared, Jiang Xiaobei guessed that there might be an unknown force that isolated the sound from the simulated stone wall in his line of sight and isolated this entrance.

"Zhang Ye and Huang Xingping, they must have come here" Jiang Xiaobei became excited at this time, looked around, and then slowed down to avoid making a sound, and walked forward.

The cave is facing all the way down, and occasionally there is the sound of water dripping, gracefully and continuously, and there is no end to walking for several hours, but as it goes deeper, the temperature gradually warms up, and the humidity is not as humid as in the mountain, the cave is getting bigger and bigger, and finally it is tens of meters wide and high.

It wasn't until he walked out of this cave that Jiang Xiaobei's whole breath became rapid, his eyes widened, and his mouth opened slightly.

Chen Heng is in front of him is a huge world, the place he walked through just now is just a passage, although this underground world is a little dim compared to the outside, but it is wide and boundless, high and not topped, and I don't know where the light comes from to illuminate here, and there are flowers and trees around, some plants and trees actually emit colorful hazy fluorescence in the past, and unknown insects and butterflies fly in the air, and they can also pull out strange rays of light between movements, the most amazing thing is that you can see a huge pillar from a distance up to the sky, submerged in the darkness on the top, spectacularWhen I raised my head, I only saw that the top sky seemed to be covered by a black shadow, and I didn't know if it was a cloud or fog.

"It's really no wonder that the old man said, to see this scene, it's really a lifetime of luck, this place can completely shock everyone who sees it, I'm afraid only fairy tales can describe this place......" Jiang Xiaobei couldn't help but admire.

Then I tried to walk forward step by step, but the underground world was as flat as the plain, only some trees, woods, or bushes, and I didn't see anything very abrupt when I looked around, and the most eye-catching thing was the huge pillar in the distance.

Jiang Xiaobei settled down, and slowly walked towards the pillar that stood in the dark, and paid attention to the surrounding movements at any time, because Zhang Ye and Huang Xingping were lost here, if they ran into them at once, Jiang Xiaobei didn't think that he would be able to fight them, and it was safest to hide in the dark.

As we got closer, the towering pillar grew larger and larger, and there were some dark shadows stuck in the height of the towering pillar, too far and too high to see what it was.

"Hey, there is a house, is there still someone living here?" Jiang Xiaobei was very surprised, in this mysterious underground world, he couldn't see any signs of living creatures all the way just now, but he didn't expect that a house inhabited by humans would appear at this time.

Not far away are dozens of rectangular houses, scattered and scattered. The roof is made of herringbone wood or thatch, and the gravel path is stacked on the ground.

"Could it be that there are any village tribes here, savages or cannibals?" Jiang Xiaobei groped for curiosity at the moment.

When I looked closely, I found that these houses were already dilapidated, because except for the roof, the rest of the materials were made of square bricks cut from stone, so they still stood tall, and from a distance, it was not clear that this was just an abandoned village or gathering place where people once existed.

Jiang Xiaobei put his mind at ease and walked into this abandoned village, and found that this village is very distinctive, or rather, it is very large, not the number of buildings, but the house alone, the door of the house alone is nearly four or five meters high, two or three meters wide, and the whole house is also built extremely tall, is stacked with huge square stones, if there is no machine help, the difficulty of construction is really not small, Jiang Xiaobei originally thought that it was similar to the stilted building of ethnic minorities, with two floors and three floors, but he didn't expect it to be just a simple one-story building。

"Could it be that the people who lived here were tall and giants, or was there some other reason why the house needed to be built like this?"

Jiang Xiaobei was very curious when he touched the wall, and knew that if the things here were discovered by the outside world, he was afraid that it would cause a huge storm.

Just as he walked past a house that was about to collapse, a loud voice rang out.

"Children, I really didn't expect us to meet again, I vaguely felt that we were very fateful."

Jiang Xiaobei hurriedly turned his head to look, next to a dilapidated wall, who was it not Zhang Ye, there were Huang Xingping and the young man next to Zhang Ye, at this time, lying on the ground was Huang Xingping's bodyguard, and the ** that Bing originally used to open the way for Zhang Ye and others pierced into his abdomen, lying motionless on the ground, blood seeping from under his body, and he couldn't survive.

Huang Xingping smiled a little hideously: "Boy, there is really a way to heaven that you don't go, I was too lazy to kill you, but I didn't expect you to run to death now."

Jiang Xiaobei was secretly vigilant, ignoring Huang Xingping but looking at the old man: "Your name is always Zhang Ye, right? I'm a little strange, when did you find me?"

Zhang Ye smiled: "I felt something wrong along the way, I didn't find it before, but I vaguely felt it when I meditated, and it wasn't until today that I deliberately asked them to spare a circle when I secretly found the remains of the can, and at that time it was confirmed that someone was following us, but I didn't expect it to be someone who had a relationship." ”
