Zuo Jian and Right Jian finally dug a hole in the ground. Because the soil was soft, they dug much faster. However, they encountered a problem after digging a few feet in. It was difficult to turn around in the narrow tunnel. The soil should
How to transport it?
"How did this thief do it?" Zuo Jian was a little confused.
The right sword said nothing and dug forward with all his might. After advancing more than a foot deep, he could no longer dig any further. A large amount of soil needed to be cleared out of the hole, and it took a long time.
If the tunnel is expanded, the amount of work will immediately increase several times, which is definitely not the way to track it.
The two returned to the ground, leaned close to the ground, and carefully distinguished the movements underground. After listening for a long time, they could not hear anything - more than three feet deep underground, and separated by the solid soil, any movement was obscured.
Just when there was nothing to do, a talisman master arrived, asked about the situation and said: "As expected, Wu thieves, sackcloth thieves, and Wei thieves are all the same. Luo Fengxing ordered me to come and help."
The Talisman Master offered a yellow talisman, and while he was chanting, five little ghosts with hair like flames appeared out of thin air and jumped down into the hole. Each of them was only about two feet tall, and each held a pick, shovel, bamboo basket and other objects.
It is suitable for working in holes in the ground, and it can work quickly and send the soil in the hole out of the ground in a relay manner.
In an hour, they dug more than fifty feet in. Then, the five little devils dug a straight path upward, only the size of the mouth of a bowl. They jumped out of the ground along this upward straight path, and turned into blue smoke one by one, dissipating.
not see.
Zuo Jian asked: "What kind of talisman is this?"
The Talisman Master said: "This is the Five Ghost Carrying Talisman. I haven't used it for many years. The thief Wei Fushen is good at digging holes and robbing tombs. Before Luo Xingxing went south, he specifically asked me to bring a lot of them, so I just needed them."
As he said that, he looked at the straight path that connected up and down, nodded and said: "This is the ventilation path created by the thief, otherwise he will suffocate underground. From this point of view, the thief can support about fifty feet underground, and then he will need to
Dig the stomata to take a breath, and it will be easy to find this stomata..."
Along the direction of the tunnel, the Talisman Master walked fifty feet with his left sword and right sword and began to search for air holes in this area.
Judging from the pores dug just now, the size of the pores should be smaller than the mouth of a bowl. Wu Thief also camouflaged it, covering it with leaves and light soil, so it was very difficult to find it in a dense forest full of shrubs, grass and trees.
.
The first few I found were snake holes and mouse nests. It was not until half an hour later that I finally found a vertical hole that went downwards. I filled it with soft fresh wet soil. After Feijian dug down, the true face of the tunnel was revealed.
The Talisman Master judged the direction and continued to move fifty feet, looking for the next air hole. Searching this way was much faster, and he quickly dug the third and fourth air holes.
But the fifth air hole could not be found. It took a full hour to finally find it. This air hole was offset by more than twenty feet and was on the southeast side of the direction determined by the Talisman Master.
The Talisman Master drew a simple schematic diagram on the ground. The tunnel first traveled eastward for nearly a mile and a half, and then turned to the southeast. After such a turn, the road ahead will enter the bottom of a high mountain.
The mountain was more than thirty feet high, so the method of searching for air holes was obviously not feasible. The Talisman Master was very experienced and was not discouraged. He took out another Five Ghost Transport Talisman and followed along the tunnel dug by Wu Sheng.
The five little ghosts were digging very quickly at the bottom of the mountain, and soon they opened up a cave. The three of them searched for a while in the cave hall, and found an obvious trace of mud. It was a long line, not a footprint, but like a wide trail.
I don’t know how the rut marks were formed, but there is no doubt that they must have been left by Wu Thief.
——Because at the end of the mud print, a newly drilled cave was discovered.
Zuo Jian looked at Right Jian, at the Talisman Master, and then at himself. The three of them were covered in mud, and it was almost impossible to tell who was who.
Zuo Jian complained: "This is too capable of digging holes. Did it become a snake or a rat?"
The right sword angrily said: "It has tarnished the name of swordsmanship!"
Zuo Jian said: "He even said he is an alchemist."
You Jian continued to angrily: "That also tarnishes the name of Alchemy!"
The Talisman Master shook his head: "I have some doubts about whether this is a Wu thief or a Wei thief, but it is definitely not a sackcloth thief."
Zuo Jian asked: "Aren't Mai and Wei Fuchen together?"
Master Fu said: "From the previous search, the two of them have parted ways, and I don't know why. Luo Fengxing said that based on experience, it was probably due to uneven distribution of the stolen goods internally, or a dispute over something. The tunnel to the south has already
There are obvious bifurcations, and the advantages and disadvantages are extremely clear.”
After chatting for a while, the Talisman Master played another Five Ghost Transport Talisman and continued to dig the hole. The three of them filed in and crawled forward with their buttocks stuck out.
In such a closed and small hole deep underground, after a long time, you can't help but have all kinds of negative emotions. Zuo Jian couldn't help but feel worried: "What will you do if you run out of five ghost transport talismans? This is not underground.
Three feet, this is the bottom of the mountain!"
The Talisman Master said: "Luo Fengxing asked me to bring out all the Five Ghost Transport Talismans from Qi Fu Pavilion. Don't worry, there are more than fifty of them!"
You Jian suddenly said: "Why does it smell so bad?"
Talisman Master said: "Like... excrement? One by one, gray-white, snake excrement?"
Zuo Jian asked: "What kind of snake? Why is it so big?"
Talisman Master said: "After all, this is the land of Baiyue, close to the wilderness, God knows what kind of snake..."
Zuo Jian shouted: "No, I want to go up and let the five ghosts go up!"
Master Fu said: "Calm down, Thief Wu is leading the way, and when he encounters a snake, he will be swallowed first. You two, do you think this is Thief Wu's transformation?"
You Jian asked: "How to change?"
The Talisman Master smiled and said: "Wu Thief was swallowed by a snake and pulled out..."
Zuo Jian shouted: "I want to go up! Hurry!"
Master Fu said: "There is a high mountain above, how to dig up? Be patient."
Right Jian explained: "He is afraid of snakes..."
The Talisman Master shook his head: "Then we can only move forward."
Zuo Jian continued to scream: "Quick! Let me out!"
You Jian comforted: "There are no snakes here..."
While he was talking, he suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, which sprayed all around the cave wall. After spraying, he coughed repeatedly.
Zuo Jian asked in surprise: "What's wrong? Is it a snake?"
The right sword coughed a few more times and gasped: "What a thief, you have broken through a section of my consciousness!"
The right sword has six distractions, but his swordsmanship requires concentration and proficiency. The six distractions are all attached to Fang Bai's sword. At this moment, one of them was broken, and he was instantly injured.
After the second Five Ghost Transport Talisman dissipated and finally saw the light of day again, the Talisman Master dragged out the right sword from under his body, and the last left sword jumped out. Seeing a small pool nearby, he immediately jumped into it and tried his best to wash away the dirt on his body.
Especially the snake excrement in the dirt makes you want to peel off your own skin.
Youjian took nine black ginseng pills and sat down to adjust his breathing.
The Talisman Master looked at the left sword and the right sword, sighed, looked at the bamboo kites rising high in the sky, and was about to shoot a loud arrow, but was stopped by the right sword who opened his eyes: "Don't ask for help, let's continue!"
The Talisman Master blinked: "Sooner or later it will be revealed."
You Jian shook his head and said: "That's not now."
Zuo Jian had been washed clean, and he turned back and said: "Let's go and catch Wu Thief!"
