Chapter 14: Private Reception at the Death Knell of Cihang
Even though he was imprisoned here, Sun Wu was just a little anxious and not angry. But when he heard Xiao Shang's voice and saw her suddenly lifting the floor and appearing with Xiang Ling, the young man did feel a sense of sadness.
26nbsp;
Ren Wanxuan was greatly surprised and shouted that although there was a secret underground passage in Cihangjing Palace, there should be no secret passage accessible where everyone was. However, this strange thing that puzzled him was Sun Wu.
You'll know it as soon as you think about it.
Even Xiao Shang couldn't dig out a tunnel in a hurry. But if there is a secret tunnel under Cihangjing Palace, with Xiao Shang's ability and the eavesdroppers spread widely, they can quickly detect it.
The prototype of the tunnel in Zone 1, then just sneak into the secret passage and go to the target. There are no connected parts of the secret passage on the way. With the all-purpose wall-penetrating magic weapon of the Ruyi Diamond Circle, there is nothing that cannot be solved.
"There are even secret tunnels, Cihang Jingdian... How many secrets are there? Historical secrets, geographical secrets, this monk temple is too..." Sun Wu thought, but saw Xiao Shang pushing him away rudely.
Let me wander around, scold and urge you.
"Stop talking nonsense, do you want to stay here or go?"
Being commanded by such a young girl, Ren Wanxuan felt very embarrassed. However, when Sun Wu and Xiang Ling jumped down one after another, he did not want to be abandoned in this prison, so he still had no choice but to jump into the hole.
"How are you going to go? I only know that Cihang Jingdian has a tunnel away from the mountain, but I don't know the exact location. And don't think that it is safe to go through the tunnel. There are many powerful old monks in Cihang Jingdian, although their actual combat skills are very poor.
, but after decades of hard training, my ears and eyes are very sharp. Even if I walk underground, I will still be caught by them..."
"As long as you don't continue to speak loudly, I believe that the ears and eyes of those eminent monks are not so bright."
Being forced to crawl in the tunnel with Ren Wanhang, Xiang Ling was not in a good mood, especially when she was crawling right in front of Ren Wanhang, she really wanted to "accidentally" slip her foot and leave a mark on his face.
However, at Ren Wanxuan's request, Xiao Shang still explained the current plan, and the answer made Sun Wu almost bulge his eyes.
"In a small town at the foot of the mountain, there was a group of people who wanted to sneak into Cihang Jingdian Hall to steal scriptures. Because they were good at engineering but not good at kung fu, they secretly dug some tunnels to connect to Cihang Jingdian Hall. Seven of them
Chengdu has been abandoned. After one tunnel was dug out, it was found that it was connected to the cesspit. Although that tunnel is usable, I don’t think you want to leave, so we are walking from the bell tower now.”
The main temple of Cihang occupies a vast area. In order to keep in touch, there are many bell towers and drum towers in the temple. Xiao Shang said this. Ren Wanxuan really couldn’t remember which one it was, but when everyone turned around underground and climbed to the west, he climbed out
A few feet away, Ren Wanxuan seemed to remember something, and his whole body was shaken violently. Before he could speak, his face suddenly burst into sharp pain, and he was kicked in the face, causing him to scream in pain.
"Who? Who kicked me?"
The angry question was answered by a cold little girl's voice.
"I'm sorry, my foot slipped."
"You...there are two people between you and me, why can you kick me with your slippery foot?"
"Commercial Confidential."
The little girl's lukewarm answer made Ren Youyou feel horrified. He no longer dared to have the slightest contempt for this little girl. In fact, even Sun Wu and Xiang Ling were thinking hard.
Xiao Shang, how did he jump over the two people in the middle and kick Ren Youyou in the face.
"One of Cihang Jingdian's seventy-two stunts, Foshan Shadowless Kick, is characterized by disappearing without a trace when the foot slips, making the enemy hard to detect. The creator is the alien master Rukawa... Well, it hurts."
Xiao Shang's words were interrupted because his head hit the rock at the top of the tunnel. Sun Wu, who heard this later, was secretly surprised that Xiao Shang secretly practiced the martial arts of Cihang Jingdian, but Xiang Ling and Ren who were further behind
Wandering is full of bewilderment, because Cihang Jingdian not only does not have the seventy-two stunts, but even among the existing stunts, there is no shadowless kick at all. It is not normal to be deceived by such an obvious lie.
people.
After a short crawl, it seemed that they had reached their destination. Xiao Shang was the first to climb up. When Sun Wu went up, Ren Hanyu was anxious to talk to Sun Wu and reminded him to be careful after going up and not to touch him randomly.
Something was causing trouble, but before a word could be said, a bell rang loudly from above. The loud and high-pitched bell rang rapidly, loud and clear, which not only spread hundreds of miles outward, but also shook people's hearts inward.
"What's the sound? My ears are buzzing and my world is spinning..."
The bells rang loudly, and Sun Wu was shaken to the point of dizziness. When he came out of the tunnel, he saw a thick rope hanging in front of him. He looked up along the rope and found that he was at the bottom of an ancient bell tower, which was dark, gloomy, and damp.
The musty smell was very uncomfortable. The only light source came from the top of the head, passing through the barriers of several beams and spreading into the small space at the bottom of the bell tower. Above those beams, a huge copper bell was swinging violently.
"Dang~~dang~~dang~~" The huge bell, which could cover five Sun Wu, swayed from side to side, swaying violently, and made a loud and high-pitched sound. Not only did the sound spread hundreds of miles, Sun Wu even felt
The sound of the bell reached to the nine heavens, penetrated the clouds, and might even be heard in Liangshan Po.
The loud noise made his head dizzy, and a pair of cold hands pressed against Sun Wu's ears in time. Xiao Shang was not affected by the sound of the bell at all, and Xiang Ling and Ren Henan came out behind to point out the way out.
Ren Wanhang looked up at the big bronze bell that was ringing crazily, still hesitating to speak, but he seemed to feel that it was too late and it was useless to say anything. In the end, he shrugged slumpedly and asked everyone to leave as soon as possible.
"I don't need to tell you. You should also feel it. There are many people coming this way. If you don't leave, you won't be able to leave."
Just as Ren Xianyou reminded, Sun Wu did feel that a large number of people were alerted by the sound of the bell and were approaching quickly. However, Xiang Ling, who was more advanced in martial arts, changed his face slightly because he was alerted by the sound of the bell and was gathering.
The crowd, the number was beyond imagination, as if thousands of troops were rushing in. Not only the monks on the mountain, but also several cities below the mountain were alarmed by the sound of the bell.
Xiangling glanced at the bell rope and saw that the thick rope was completely black, as if it had been soaked in ink, giving people an ominous feeling, and she immediately confirmed her guess.
"Even if an assassin breaks into the temple, Cihang Jingdian will not make such a fuss... It seems that this bell should be the legendary one..." On the other hand, Xiao Shang, who was asked to leave quickly, spread his hands and expressed that he was helpless.
, "I'm not a professional tour guide. Now I can only bring you here. Others will take over the rest."
Sun Wuqi said: "Ah? Someone else will take over? Is he also a partner of justice? A partner of justice is too ubiquitous, right?"
"Nono, this time we are not partners of justice, just a few book thieves. They have been digging tunnels around here in the past few months. I saw their engineering drawings yesterday. They will dig almost here tonight, and then Trapped in a golden treasure, if you hear the bell, you will dig here again... Well, it's almost time to arrive."
Xiao Shang shook his head and spoke, but before he finished shaking his head, another corner at the bottom of the bell tower suddenly overturned, and a stench came out, followed by several people scrambling to escape.
"Okay, I'm saved. A lot of yellow stuff just flooded over. I almost thought I was going to die... Digging tunnels is indeed a professional job. It's too dangerous. Why do we often dig into poop pits..."
"...Because you are a man who specializes in bad luck. You have been like this since you first started digging more than ten years ago."
Several embarrassed men crawled out and complained endlessly, and Sun Wu easily recognized them.
"Uncle Lu!"
Sun Wu stared at Lu Feiyang, who was covered in stench, with his mouth open. Before he could speak, the other party had already spoken in shock, "Ah? Xiao Wu? Why are you here? Hahaha, uncle was just bored and panicked, and Chiba and the others We went out for a walk together. We had no other intentions, and we definitely weren’t here to be thieves. Hahaha, you didn’t think we were here to steal scriptures, right? Hahahaha... We never thought about the Tathagata Divine Palm Yijin Jing. Ah ha ha……"
It was probably very difficult to meet a stupid thief who was more cooperative than Lu Feiyang. Although he kept denying it, he recognized everything. Sun Wu couldn't find an excuse to defend him. Fortunately, Ren Wanxuan didn't treat him at all. Care, attention is focused on the few people around Lu Feiyang.
"Uncle Chiba, Uncle Ahong, why are you...are you also interested in the martial arts of Cihang Jingdian? This is impossible!"
Ren Wanxuan was extremely surprised, but the elders he questioned just looked at each other. Finally Chiba stood up and answered, "This is difficult to explain. If we say that we were bored and panicked, we went out for a walk and accidentally discovered A tunnel that just happened to come here without any other intention, would you believe it?"
"It's hard to believe! And each of you still has a shovel and spade in your hand. Do you need to take these things out on the street for a walk?"
There was no need to explain the rhetoric that was full of loopholes. Listening to the noisy voices getting closer and closer outside, everyone decided to leave as soon as possible, but they encountered technical difficulties in how to leave.
"Master, this tunnel... seems a bit..."
"Not a little bit, it really stinks."
Standing at the entrance of the tunnel, the strong stench made Sun Wu cover his nose and glance sideways at Lu Feiyang beside him, who spread his hands like Ren Hexian.
"Well... we are bandits and farmers, not professional construction workers. We are not good at digging tunnels. We dug casually and ended up digging into a cesspit for no reason. Alas, there was a sudden bang. I thought something was releasing the flood. The whole group of us seemed to have fallen into a swimming pool, and we were so dizzy that it’s really hard to describe..."
"This one-armed man, since it's hard to say anything, just stop talking. If I hear you talk any more, I... I really want to vomit."
Ren Wanxuan treated Chi Ba and others as elders, but his attitude towards Lu Feiyang seemed much stranger. This situation in Sun Wu's eyes vaguely reminded him of it, but before he could think further, Xiao Shang next to him I patted him first.
"Hey, now that we've made up our minds, let's just go out and grab the head of Cihang Jingdian!"
"...Do you think this is a gangster trying to get the boss? There are not dozens of minions outside, but at least tens of thousands of monks. If we just kill them out like this, we will definitely die. I promised Abbot Kucha to take over as the leader. , But we can't be so reckless. If we just rush out and tell everyone we are the leader, do you think anyone will believe it?"
"Why are you such a nagging person? I don't think there is anything difficult to understand. Otherwise, what would you do if someone believed you if you rushed out?"
"You! You always like to bicker at times like this. It's meaningless! Well, if you can make people believe it when you go out like this, then whatever you say will be fine!"
The crowd approaching the bell tower was getting closer and closer, but they were still engaging in meaningless verbal disputes with Xiao Shang. The young man felt very anxious. After finishing his sentence, Lu Feiyang's palm rested on his shoulder.
"Xiao Wu, to be honest, this tunnel... isn't dug very well. It's not very clean inside. Not only is there a lot of shit and the like, but it also extends in all directions. If you don't get it right, you'll get lost. Where will it end up? Uncle doesn’t know either, so if you want to go down, you need to think clearly!”
One could hear the concern hidden in Lu Feiyang's words, but for Sun Wu, he was in a hurry to leave this place now, which was not the time to make a careful assessment. Whether it was a stool or a mountain of swords, he could only jump down first.
"Uncle Lu, thank you, but I...ah, Xiaoshang!"
Unaware of the stench in the tunnel, Xiao Shang ignored the filthy conditions below and jumped down with a kick.
Sun Wu, who regarded himself as a protector, was shocked and jumped down without thinking. Xiangling followed closely behind Sun Wu. This chain effect, like pulling rice dumplings, was indeed very interesting in the eyes of the men behind him. thing.
