By the time Hua Bushi walked into the cave, the fight had already ended. The young master frowned as he looked at the situation in the cave.
This cave is very dark. The roof is about two feet high and the sides are four to five feet wide. It is like the main room of a large family. Although it is not too small, it is still far from being a demon's lair.
Seeing this scene, Chu Yiyi was also very confused and looked at Huang Biyun and said: "Miss Huang, did General Yun really tell you that this cave is the stronghold of the devil? Is he lying to you?"
Huang Biyun said: "The big devil didn't enter the cave when he brought me here. He just told me outside the cave that the secret place of the Pure Land Sect was inside. Is this a lie but I didn't know?"
Chu Yiyi said: "This cave can only accommodate dozens of people. At most, it is a temporary hiding place for people in the devil's path. I'm afraid we all have been fooled by General Yun." [
Hua Bushi shook his head and said: "Otherwise, if he was just an ordinary local demon, why would he set up such a strict sentry outside the cave? This young master thought that there must be a cave in the cave, and the more than ten believers probably stayed here to replace them. The person on guard duty."
Chu Yiyi thought for a while and said: "What the young master said makes sense. It's a pity that we killed all the demon cultists when we entered the cave. If we can leave one or two alive, we will be able to find out the secret of this cave."
Hua Bushi ordered: "Everyone, search carefully in this cave to see if you can find other passages."
Everyone immediately lit up more than ten torches and quickly searched the surrounding area, including the rock walls and the ground, one by one to see if there were any holes. However, they found nothing.
The corpses of the slain demon cultists were also carefully searched, but nothing special was found.
Chu Yiyi said: "It seems that even if there is a secret passage here, it is very secret and difficult to find. If it is true as the young master said, this cave is an important place for the devil, then there will definitely be demon followers coming here. Ambush here first and wait until they arrive to capture them and "force" them to confess, then you will know the location of the secret passage."
Hua Bushi said: "It seems that's all."
But at this moment, Huang Biyun suddenly heard a cry of "Ouch" in pain. Ever since Liu Yuanhe recognized this adopted daughter in the cave, he was very concerned about her and stepped forward with a torch in hand and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Huang Biyun said: "It's nothing. I accidentally kicked a stone and it hurts my foot."
Liu Yuanhe said "Oh" and looked at a rock at Huang Biyun's feet, but his expression suddenly moved and said: "Hey, this rock seems a bit weird."
This cave is naturally formed with four walls. The ground and roof are extremely uneven, with many uneven places. There are also many scattered stones underground. Most of these rocks are very rough. However, the rock at Huang Biyun's feet seems to be very smooth and smooth. The luster is faintly reflected under the firelight
If Liu Yuanhe hadn't been holding a torch and observing the difference from a close distance, he would never have been able to tell the difference.
Liu Yuanhe squatted down and patted the rock and said, "Master Hua, look at this rock. It looks different from other places."
Hua Bushi walked closer and leaned over to examine it for a while and said, "The surface of this stone is so smooth. It should be because people touch it from time to time. It may be the mechanism that opens the secret passage. Elder Liu, please lift this stone and take a look."
Liu Yuanhe stretched out his hand to grab the stone and tried his best to move it, but it was not able to move. He frowned and raised his hands with both hands. No matter which direction he pushed, the stone did not move at all.
Of course, Liu Yuanhe's martial arts master's strength would not be inferior. A stone of this size would only weigh two to three hundred kilograms at most. It should be easy to lift it. However, this stone seems to have grown on the ground, which is obviously a bit unusual.
Hua Bushi said: "This stone must be connected to the underground mechanism to be so heavy. Elder Liu will try to see if he can turn it."
Liu Yuanhe followed his instructions, holding one end of the stone with both hands and twisting it hard to the left and right. After a long time, the rock still remained motionless.
Hua Bu Shi Ben only knows a little bit about the ways of Qi Men Dun Jia and mechanism ambush, but he is far from masterful. Although this rock is probably the switch of the secret passage here, he can't find a way to open it, and he is at a loss [
However, his mind changed and he remembered the day when Sima Rulan opened the secret cave on the top of the mountain on Whale Island and said: "Elder Liu, please try again to see if this stone can be pressed down with force."
Liu Yuanhe stretched out his palm and pressed it on top of the stone. The stubborn stone finally reacted and sank to the ground.
When all the half-foot-high rocks were pressed into the ground, only a "crush" sound was heard. Chu Yiyi said happily: "Master, look at the big hole in the wall over there."
Hua Bushi looked around and found that a stone wall more than six feet wide was moved to one side of the cave to reveal the entrance of a tunnel.
The entrance to this corridor is as tall as a person and has chiseled marks around it. It is a man-made hole. Inside, it is dark, full of light, and bottomless. I don’t know where it leads.
Seeing that Hua Bushi’s previous judgment was wrong, there is indeed a cave in the cave, and underneath this tunnel, I think it is the lair of the people in the devil’s path.
Hua Bushi ordered to cut down some pine branches and make dozens of torches for lighting purposes. He also ordered a banner of forty Pili camp disciples to stay at the entrance of the cave to avoid being cut off. Others were preparing to enter the cave.
Although the disciples of the Pili camp are not very good at martial arts, they are sharp with guns. With the convenient location of the cave, the forty guards are enough to block the attacks of hundreds of enemies.
Torches and other items were quickly prepared. Li Hu volunteered to open the way ahead. Liu Yuanhe and Yuan Xi followed closely behind. Hua Bushi, Ximen Tong, Chu Yiyi, Huang Biyun and others were in the middle. Qingyun Guards were guarding the disciples of Pili Camp.
Enter the corridor and go forward
The entrance to the corridor is not wide, and it is quite narrow as you walk in. The stone walls above your head and on both sides are not very smooth, and are full of axe-cut marks. There are also occasional drops of water on the rock walls, making a "tick-tick-tick" sound.
After everyone entered, they first walked down more than a hundred stone steps, and then moved forward. There were twists and turns, but the general direction did not necessarily change. The steps were also high and low. Sometimes the stone steps climbed up and sometimes they went down again.
Poe walked like this for half a stick of incense, but he still had time to reach the end.
Fortunately, there is no bifurcation in this cave. From the beginning to now, there is only one passage, and there are also guardians who encounter the devil on this road.
Although everyone moved forward cautiously while exploring, the speed was not too fast, but after a long time, they still walked about five or six miles.
Chu Yiyi said: "It must have taken a lot of manpower for the demons to dig such a long tunnel. This place should have reached the heart of Yuyang Mountain. Could it be that they actually built their lair under this mountain?"
Yuyang Mountain is located in a remote area and is rarely visited by people. It would be very secretive to dig caves and establish a fortress in the hinterland of the mountain.
However, facts soon proved that Chu Yiyi’s guess was not correct.
After everyone walked several hundred steps, a ray of light came from the front of the corridor. As they walked forward, the light became brighter and brighter, and they reached the exit.
As they continued to move forward and were about to reach the exit, several figures suddenly appeared from outside the cave entrance and someone shouted: "Are those who have been fed by Master Yun's subordinates?"
Li Hu walked at the front and replied: "No, we are Master Yun's men."
While he was speaking, his figure suddenly jumped out and rushed outside the cave.
Hua Bushi was more than ten feet behind and could not see the situation in front. He only heard a few weapons clashes and screams from outside the cave, and then there was another sound. After a while, Li Hu's voice sounded: "Boss, come out. There are only five people here."
All the devil bastards and guards have been cleaned up, and I searched all around before looking for anyone else."
When Hua Bushi walked out of the cave, he saw five corpses lying on the ground at the entrance of the cave. They were all dressed in gray and short shirts. They were obviously members of the demon cult guarding the entrance of the cave. There was also a simple thatched shed not far away [
Looking around again, I couldn't help but be surprised. Behind this long and dark corridor, there was actually a valley with extremely beautiful scenery.
This valley is located between high mountains. It is so far away that there is no end in sight. On both sides of the hillside are tree-lined and there are many mountain flowers of various colors blooming on the grass. But the bright sunshine shines on the green trees and flowers in the mountains.
Gives people a feeling of relaxation and joy
It's early winter now. Although there are always some evergreen trees in the mountains and fields, they are not all yellow and desolate, but such a scene of greenery and birds singing and the fragrance of flowers is definitely not seen outside.
Not only is the scenery unique, but the air in the valley is also much warmer than outside.
Being here, everyone feels as if they have traveled through time for more than half a year and returned to the spring season.
Yuan Xi sighed: "It is said that there is a Taoyuan fairyland with beautiful scenery like spring all year round in this world. Yuan Xi didn't believe it at first, but he thought that there would be such a place in Yuyang Mountain in Henan Province."
He turned to look at Hua Bushi and said, "Young Master Hua is well-informed. He has been to many places and has seen places like this, right?"
Hua Bushi said: "With this little experience, how can I be worthy of being well-informed? Hua Bushi has never seen a place with such a unique scenery."
Liu Yuanhe snorted and said: "Those demons have established their lair here. No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it has become an evil and filthy place. Let's go quickly. Don't delay here any longer."
This elder Liu is jealous of evil and is currently thinking about killing the people in the devil's way. No matter how beautiful the scenery is, he is still in the mood to appreciate it.
