Chapter 50: The Predicament of Nowhere to Go (3)

Feeling a little sore and numb in his arms, Ji Cangyu fell back on the sixth stone pillar. He looked up at Qi Yang, but he still didn't see Qi Yang coming down.

Qi Yang was a little embarrassed. His knees were in pain, and he was not sure he could land firmly on the stone pillar.

Seeing that Qi Yang had not moved, Ling'er also guessed his situation. Ling'er wanted to help him but was worried that he was not strong enough. There was nothing but poisonous water under the stone pillar. It would be terrible if it fell.

Ling'er had no choice but to ask Ji Cangyu for help.

Ji Cangyu received Ling'er's look asking for help and was puzzled: "Qi Yang's Qing Gong is so high, how come he can't get down?"

"After such a long delay, it's time for us to move on," Zhao Xinghe asked impatiently.

"Well, you all should be careful, don't step on this seventh stone pillar." Ji Cangyu pointed to the stone pillar beside him and said.

"Then you have to jump over." Zhao Xinghe glanced at the dark bottom of the pit and swallowed.

"Shao Xia Zhao's Qinggong is pretty good, can this little thing trouble you?" Ji Cangyu sneered at Zhao Xinghe's timidity, and felt more and more that Qi Yang was brave and resourceful.

Ji Cangyu couldn't help but look up at Qi Yang again.

Qi Yang took advantage of Zhao Xinghe's speech and turned his body over, holding the wheel with his left hand.

Ji Cangyu noticed Qi Yang's frown and said to the others: "You go first!"

Ji Cangyu was anxious to help Qi Yang when he heard Zhong Gong's voice coming from outside: "Master, what should we do?"

"Why are you still here? Didn't I tell you to go back the way you came?" Ji Cangyu waved to Zhong Gong and Zhong Gong impatiently.

"Then we are at the exit..." Before Zhong Gong could finish speaking, he saw Ji Cangyu flying up and disappearing. He had no choice but to continue, "Wait for everyone!" Then, he took Zhong Long away.

.

It turned out that Ji Cangyu flew up and grabbed the chain on the same side as Qi Yang.

"Jimou will take you down!" Ji Cangyu said, extending his hand to Qi Yang.

Qi Yang looked at Ji Cangyu in surprise, and suddenly felt a subtle feeling in his heart. Maybe it was the kind of gratitude that someone is suddenly willing to help when he is in trouble, but there seemed to be something else.

Before Qi Yang could go into details, he heard Ji Cangyu continue to say: "You can't get down, can't you?"

The ridicule in Ji Cangyu's tone made Qi Yang's gratitude towards him disappear in an instant. Qi Yang was left with only unwillingness and anger in his heart.

Seeing Qi Yang looking at his hand hesitantly, Ji Cangyu smiled and said: "If you don't need it, then Ji will go down."

A good man never suffers immediate losses! Qi Yang gritted his teeth and stretched out his right hand.

Ji Cangyu was stunned when he saw the bandage on Qi Yang's hand, then avoided the injury on his hand and pulled his arm, pulling it towards his back.

Qi Yang did not expect that Ji Cangyu planned to carry him down. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and released his left hand holding the wheel in time. Otherwise, his right arm might have been broken by Ji Cangyu's strong pull.

Although Ji Cangyu was carrying Qi Yang on his back, he did not feel any difficulty and easily fell back onto the nearest stone pillar. This made Ji Cangyu couldn't help feeling a little emotional, Qi Yang seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

Everyone had moved on, but Ling'er remained where he was, waiting for them.

"How is Brother Yang's leg injury?" Ling'er asked with concern.

"Leg injured" Ji Cangyu was stunned.

Qi Yang didn't answer Ling'er. At this moment, he just wanted to get off Ji Cangyu's back. However, he looked around but couldn't find a place to stay.

It turns out that Ji Cangyu, carrying Qi Yang on his back, happened to land on the first stone pillar where Qi Yang was standing before. There was a Ling'er on the second stone pillar next to it, and the stone door where people could stand at the door had sunk a lot.

"Be patient!" Ji Cangyu was dissatisfied with Qi Yang's looking around and threatened coldly, "You want to fall?"

"Put it down!" Qi Yang whispered.

At first, Ji Cangyu didn't put Qi Yang down immediately because there was no place for Qi Yang to stay around, but now he learned that Qi Yang had an injury on his leg, and he would not abandon Qi Yang.

Ji Cangyu said rudely: "Even if I put you down, you can't walk through these stone pillars by yourself!"

Qi Yang didn't say anything anymore. It was now difficult for him to even walk normally, let alone walking on these stone pillars. If his center of gravity was unstable, he would fall into a deep pit.

Ling'er looked at Ji Cangyu worriedly.

Ji Cangyu ignored Qi Yang again, but turned around and said to Ling'er: "Ling'er, you walk in front. Be careful!"

Seeing that Qi Yang no longer had any trouble with Ji Cangyu, Ling'er felt relieved and walked along the stone pillars to the depths of the secret passage.

The further you go, the dimmer the light from the torch becomes.

A few lights of fire could be seen in the dark place in front, where Xu Jun and Zhao Xinghe were waiting with fire folders.

In the dim light, Ling'er could only look at her feet with wide eyes, fearing that she would miss the mark if she was not careful.

Just when Ling'er passed the last stone pillar, he suddenly covered his eyes and screamed in horror.

"What's wrong?" Ji Cangyu asked with concern.

Qi Yang poked his head out from behind anxiously.

Before Ling'er could answer, she heard Zhao Xinghe say: "There's nothing to be afraid of! It's just a few skulls."

It turned out that after walking down the stone pillar stairs, there was a platform as high as the shortest stone pillar. There were many skeletons piled randomly on the platform.

When Ling'er saw Ji Cangyu also walked onto the stage, she hurriedly hid beside Ji Cangyu, not daring to look at anything on the ground.

Only then did Ji Cangyu let Qi Yang down.

Qi Yang didn't care about his leg injury and limped to a pile of bones. He borrowed the fire seal from Jiang Yu and leaned over to observe.

"The surface of the bones has traces of being corroded by poisonous water, but some bones have existed for a long time, and some have only been left in the past few years." Qi Yang said what he had discovered.

"You mean some of them died a long time ago?" Jiang Yu asked.

"Yes." Qi Yang said, returning the fire folding piece to Jiang Yu, and then gently rubbed his knees when no one was paying attention.

Ji Cangyu saw Qi Yang's actions and couldn't help but frown.

"The forbidden area of ​​​​Jinniu Village was only built in the past two years, so this secret room existed before that" Liu Chuyuan asked.

"Not bad." Qi Yang nodded.

"It seems that the people behind the scenes built this forbidden area just to hide this secret room." Liu Chuyuan put forward his own idea.

"What kind of secrets will be hidden in this secret room?" Zhao Xinghe's eyes flashed, "Let's go in and have a look!"

"How to get in?" Jiang Yu asked.

"Master Ji is here, but you are still worried about not being able to get in." Zhao Xinghe took the opportunity to please Ji Cangyu.

Only then did Ji Cangyu and the others realize the reason why Zhao Xinghe and the others were waiting here. It turned out that there was a large stone wall in front of them blocking all their paths.

This is a dead end
