Ximen Tong followed Hua Bushi's instructions and exited, sitting down cross-legged in the main hall. Although he could not see through the curtain, he could still hear the voice behind the Buddha statue clearly.
Liu Yuanhe was pacing back and forth with an anxious look on his face. He was worried that Huang Biyun's poison would be difficult to cure.
At this moment, suddenly there was a muffled sound of "clang" from behind the Buddha statue, which seemed to be caused by the impact of something, followed by a crunching sound. Ximen Tong's expression changed and he stood up in a flash. Liu Yuanhe jumped behind the Buddha statue. When he heard the voice, he was stunned and ran over quickly.
The two rushed to the Maitreya Buddha statue one after another, but they saw a three-four-foot-square hole on the ground near the stone platform. Two stone slabs were quickly closing with a rolling sound. There was only a futon next to it. Both Hua Bushi and Huang Biyun disappeared.
This square hole is the entrance to a secret tunnel of a machine. The muffled sound just now was obviously the sound when it was opened. Hua Bushi and Huang Biyun must have fallen into it [
Ximen Tong flew forward and wanted to jump in before the mechanism closed, but it was still a step too late. The two stone slabs had slammed together to block him from the outside.
Without thinking, he immediately punched out and hit the stone slab hard, but there was a crisp "dang" sound. It turned out that the thing that looked like a stone slab was actually made of fine iron. Ximen Tong's punch was enough to break the monument. Not even a single mark left on it
Seeing this, Liu Yuanhe was still in a daze and Ximen Tong shouted: "My master and Miss Huang have been kidnapped. Let's work together to break down the secret door of this mechanism and chase them down to save them."
Only then did Liu Yuanhe react. He quickly used his strength and energy to punch the iron plate on the secret door.
However, the iron plate was extremely strong. The two of them punched it more than ten times, making a "ding-dong" sound that shook the sky, but they could only dent it slightly, but it was still far from smashing it open. At this time, outside the hall Li Hu and Chu Yiyi also heard the sound and rushed over.
If you can't break it open with your bare hands, you have to think of other ways.
Ximen Tong gathered the disciples from the Pili Camp and aimed their muskets at the iron plate and fired. Amidst the roaring sound, hundreds of muskets were fired in unison. In addition, Ximen Tong fired twenty or thirty shots with the "Fire Pan Gun" before he finally fired. The iron plate exploded, revealing the dark hole underneath.
This whole tossing has already taken a lot of time. If we didn't chase down Hua Bushi quickly, the person who kidnapped Hua Bushi would have fled far away. Once the iron plate was shattered, Ximen Tong and Li Hu reached the cave entrance at the same time, but the two of them stared inward. But they didn’t jump down
This is because with the light coming from outside, you can see that underneath the cave is not a road at all but a river.
It turns out that the Mi Tuo Temple is actually built on a river. I don’t know how deep this underground river is. I can only see the river water flowing from a few feet below the entrance of the cave. The mist above the water surface looks extremely strange.
Li Hu was startled and shouted: "Ah Tong, you and the disciples from the Pili Camp will make this hole bigger. Qingyun Guard will follow me outside to chop down trees and build a raft."
To chase the enemy from this underground river, you need a boat. Building a raft is time-consuming and troublesome, but it is the only way at the moment.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
When Li Hu and Ximen Tong put the built raft into the underground river and organized manpower to track it, Hua Bushi was already sitting on a sandalwood chair in a monastery.
Huang Biyun was standing in front of the young master. Although his clothes were still a little messy, the red spots on his neck had long since faded, and his expression had returned to normal, even with a slightly proud look.
Behind the Buddha statue in Mi Tuo Hall, Hua Bushi just noticed that Huang Biyun's demeanor was different, and she had already grabbed her wrist.
The eldest young master, who was full of martial arts skills, could not resist. Huang Biyun pulled hard and was pulled forward and fell on top of her. There was only a "bang" sound in his ears, and the stone slab below suddenly cracked. The two of them moved forward together. fall
The accident happened so suddenly that Hua Bushi didn't even have time to shout out before he fell into the hole. He didn't know how high he fell. He only felt that his body was light, but he was caught by a fishing net, and then rolled down from the net with a "bang". It hit the wooden board with a heavy sound.
Due to the strength of the fishing net that cushioned the fall, Hua Bushi fell and was not injured. He only felt the wooden board under his body rising and falling. It turned out that the place where he fell was actually on a boat. At the same time, he felt a chill on his neck, but a sharp blade was pressed against him. throat[
Huang Biyun also fell down together with the young master, but someone immediately helped her up and a voice asked: "Mrs. Yun, are you okay?"
Huang Biyun gasped: "Where's the antidote?"
The man replied: "Here"
Huang Biyun took it, swallowed it and said: "Row quickly, I'm afraid they will catch up soon."
It was very bright in the main hall before, but it was quite dark when he fell into the cave. Under the sudden change, it was difficult for Hua Bushi to see clearly the surrounding situation, but from these few words of dialogue, he already understood everything in his heart.
Huang Biyun has long since surrendered to the devil and has become "Mrs. Yun." Everything she said before was all lies. The situation of being locked up in the cellar of Lingdu Temple and being tortured was also a show.
All this is a bureau, the purpose is to lure China and not be fooled.
This trap had been laid since he came to Lingdu to see the leader of Jingyue Temple, or even earlier when the demonic cultists attacked the Baidao sect secretly.
Huang Biyun is a young woman. If she wants to perform acupuncture on her, she must take off her clothes. She certainly cannot do it in front of many disciples of the "Evil Dog Sect" inside and outside the temple. There is only one hidden place behind the Buddha statue in Mi Tuo Hall. When Qi Hua Bu Shi begins to perform the surgery, he will definitely send Ximen Tong Lihu and others away.
All of this is within the opponent's calculations. This set-up is extremely clever.
Huang Biyun's acting skills are also quite good, and the poison she was exposed to in order to deceive medical masters like Hua Bushi is real and has indeed taken effect, so the people hiding in the secret passage should be prepared to understand the "medicine" and so on. As soon as she fell down, he gave it to her to take
At this time, Hua Bushi heard a "ding" sound coming from the hole above. It was Ximen Tong and Liu Yuanhe who were hitting the iron plate in an attempt to rescue him. He had no hope for it. Since the other party could set up such a clever game, what would happen to it? Will be prepared
He only felt the plank beneath him move, but the boat began to row forward. Then he heard a "crack" sound, but the fire was ignited and a lantern next to it was lit.
Only through the bright lights can we see the surrounding situation clearly
This wooden boat is not about ten feet long and three to four feet wide, and the underground river is only three or four feet wide. There are rocks on both sides, and there is a layer of white mist rising on the water surface.
In addition to him and Huang Biyun, there were three demon cultists wearing gray short shirts on the boat. Two of them were rowing, and the other one was holding a steel knife on his neck.
Hua Bushi wanted to take another look at the situation around him, but in front of him was a black plain covered with a black bag. However, he heard the demon cultivator holding a knife beside him saying: "Stay there and don't move around, otherwise you will get hurt." Don’t blame me”
Now that he has fallen into the opponent's hands, Hua Bushi's martial arts has no room for resistance, so he can only lie down on the board of the boat as he is told.
Although Hua Bushi couldn't see with his eyes, he could still hear the sound with his ears. Several people on the boat stopped talking and could only hear the "swish" sound. It was very rapid. It was obvious that the two demon cultists were rowing with all their strength.
The water flow in this underground river is not turbulent and the boat is traveling very smoothly. From time to time, he can feel the shaking of the hull and the sound of the wooden oars against the rock wall. Hua Bushi knows that this is because the boat is turning in the river.
How long has it been going? The boat has turned five or six times. This shows that the waterway it is traveling on is very tortuous. Judging from the sound of the surrounding water flow, the river has many branches. The sound of the water is sometimes empty and sometimes thin, because of the cave space it passes. due to different sizes
Hua Bushi secretly complained that the terrain in the underground river was so complicated. Even if Ximen Tong and Li Hu came later, they would probably lose their way and find it difficult to find the correct tracking path.
The boat sailed for a long time before it reached the shore. Hua Bushi felt that his arms were grabbed by someone and pulled out of the boat. He was being carried forward. He felt that his feet were hard, as if he was walking in a cave.
After walking fifty or sixty steps, he stopped and someone in front said: "I'm here to see Mrs. Yun, Master Ma Xiang."
Huang Biyun's voice said: "Open"
I only heard a "bang" sound, as if an iron gate was opened. Hua Bushi was carried forward by two demon cultists. Could it be that this is a prison where the demon cultivators want to imprison him in a dungeon?
However, after only taking two or three steps, he stopped again. He seemed to have stepped on an iron plate, and then the iron door behind him closed. Then there was a "squeaking" sound of the iron chain twisting. He only felt his body sinking against the iron under his feet. The vibration of the board was actually being pulled upwards
With a sudden thought, Hua Bushi realized that what he was entering was an iron cage similar to the baskets on ordinary city walls that were pulled by ropes to transport things, except that it was made larger and stronger, and it was twisted with iron chains.
The iron cage has risen. It has not reached the end yet. At least it has climbed a hundred feet. The place to go is extremely high.
This kind of transportation facility is really extraordinary and it is not easy to create. If it is not pulled up in an iron cage, it would be difficult for a person with extreme dexterity to climb such a height. It seems that this is probably the real lair of the devil. ’ is there
The iron cage finally stopped and with a "clang" the gate was opened again. Hua Bushi's arms were lifted up again and he walked forward.
This time, the route we took was not a straight path but made several turns and climbed more than ten steps.
Hua Bushi couldn't see, so he was at the mercy of others. After walking for a while, he only heard the "squeak" of the door. He was carried forward a few steps and then placed on a chair.
