Chapter 468
As Zhu Sanjia spoke, he looked around, as if he wanted to find something to ignite the fire. However, the main hall was empty, except for the white walls, which were four columns. If he wanted to use fire to ignite these pillars, it would be tantamount to wishful thinking.
Although the palace door and the windows on both sides were made of wood, they were extremely difficult to light. The Zhu family ran back and forth under the wooden windows, but could not find anything to start the fire. They became more and more angry, and by the end they were dancing.
Feet yelled loudly.
Everyone was extremely frustrated and increasingly angry. More than twenty hours had passed since they set out on the road to find Jingxin Temple. Everyone had not eaten a grain of rice, was tired, hungry, frightened, and sleepy.
Here, there is no way to advance or retreat. At this critical moment, although everyone is a master of martial arts and there are several gang leaders, they are helpless. Therefore, when they heard Zhu Sanjia yelling at each other, everyone felt that they were also angry on their own behalf.
For a while, no one came forward to persuade me.
Zhu Sanjia cursed for a long time and suddenly said: "Damn it, since there is no way to light the main hall, let's go and have a look in the side room, maybe we can find something to ignite the fire!"
After he finished speaking, he walked out of the hall. Everyone searched the hall for a long time but found nothing, and they were already impatient. After hearing that Zhu Sanjia said they were going to the wing to search, they all followed him out.
Zhu San's family ran to the yard, turned around and looked at the left and right wing rooms, hesitating slightly. He remembered that his father had said that an ancestor secretly entered the left wing room and then disappeared. In the end, it was found that the ancestor had been skinned and died tragically.
In the valley. Thinking of this, Zhu Sanjia strode towards the wing room on the left, raised his legs and kicked the door of the wing room.
There was just a "click" sound, and he kicked the two doors of the side room and they fell into the house. Zhu Sanjia raised his legs and crossed the threshold and walked into the house.
Everyone saw that he was as powerful as a tiger, but they did not dare to stop him. When they saw him breaking into the wing, everyone was waiting to hear the sound of kicking and beating from the wing. Who knew that Zhu Sanjia's figure had just disappeared at the door of the wing, but they heard the sound of kicking and beating coming from the wing.
There was an "Oops", and it was Zhu Sanjia's voice.
Everyone was startled. They were very frightened when they heard Zhu Sanjia's voice. Moreover, the voice suddenly came out, but was interrupted in an instant. The situation was extremely strange. While everyone was shocked and confused, Li Qiufeng, who was like lightning, had already rushed to the side room.
In front of the door, he pulled out the embroidered spring knife with his right hand, danced out a shadow of the knife, and walked straight into the side room.
Liu Yong and others also drew their weapons and rushed towards the door of the wing. Seeing that everyone was about to rush to the door, they suddenly heard Li Qiufeng shouting in the room: "Everyone, don't come in, there is a big hole in this room!"
Liu Yong and the others were shocked and hurriedly stopped. Liu Yong turned to everyone and said, "Everyone, please wait here. Liu will go in and take a look first."
After he finished speaking, he held the fire seal in his left hand and the fixed sword in his right hand, and walked towards the house. When he crossed the threshold, he couldn't help but be surprised. By the light of the fire seal, he saw that the room was not big, and the depth was less than two feet.
The width is only about three feet. The room is just like the main hall, empty without anything. However, there are no square tiles on the ground, and it turns out to be a large square hole. This hole almost occupies the entire floor of the wing, and the edge of the hole is less than one foot from the threshold.
ruler.
Liu Yong looked intently and saw Li Qiufeng standing in front of him, leaning down, as if he was looking for something in the cave. Liu Yong was startled and was about to ask, but saw Li Qiufeng suddenly stood up and raised his right hand.
, a person has been pulled out of the cave entrance.
After the man was pulled out by Li Qiufeng, he was standing between the cave entrance and the threshold, and he met Liu Yong. It was Zhu Sanjia. He looked frightened, looked at Liu Yong and said tremblingly: "Liu, Mr. Liu,
You must not force your way in, this room is just a big fucking mouth..."
Liu Yong listened to his confused words and didn't understand what he was saying. He thought to himself that this man most likely fell into the hole accidentally when he broke into the house. Although he was rescued by Li Qiufeng, he only just escaped death, but he also
He was so frightened that he spoke in a mess and couldn't make up his mind. Thinking of this, he said in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhu, don't panic, let's exit first."
The three people walked backwards and left the wing, and Zhu San's family breathed a sigh of relief. Taoist Qingfeng, Chu Danyang and others who stayed outside the wing saw that the three people's faces were not good-looking, so they hurriedly gathered around and asked questions about the people in the room.
What happened? After the Zhu San family calmed down for a moment, they recounted the situation just now.
It turned out that he kicked down two doors and strode in. Although he was holding a torch in his hand, the light was weak and he could only see about two feet in front of him. So after he crossed the threshold,
, without thinking, he took another step forward. However, after taking this step, he stepped into the void. His heart shuddered, knowing that there must be a big pit under his feet, and he couldn't help but screamed,
The body suddenly fell downwards.
Zhu Sanjia knew that the situation was not good. As his body fell, he grabbed hold of it with both hands. Fortunately, the two doors that he had just kicked down happened to fall beside the pit. He grabbed with both hands and grabbed a door with both hands.
With a force, his body jumped up, and the two doors were pulled by his hands, and they fell straight into the cave. Zhu Sanjia lost his leverage, so he had to let go of his hands, and his body fell again. His left hand hurriedly moved forward.
He grabbed hold of the edge of the cave entrance at the critical moment, and his body was immediately hanging on the cave wall.
At this moment, Li Qiufeng had already rushed into the house. He was far more cautious than Zhu Sanjia. After entering the house, he stood still at the door, holding the embroidered spring knife in his right hand across his chest, and holding the fire folding knife in front of him in his left hand.
When I shine the light, I see that the entire ground is a huge square hole, but this hole is different from the bottomless abyss I have seen before. When Huo Zhezi shines the light, the hole cannot swallow up the light, so I can see clearly what is going on at the hole.
He found a hand tightly grasping a rock on the edge of the cave entrance. Guessing that Zhu San's family was in danger, he hurriedly leaned down and looked down.
At this moment, Li Qiufeng heard the sounds of chaotic footsteps outside the house, and knew that people were rushing into the house. He was afraid that if everyone rushed in and could not hold back, someone would fall into the hole again. So he hurriedly shouted loudly.
He said: "Everyone, please don't come in, there is a big hole in this room!" After saying that, he put the Xiuchun knife back into its sheath, leaned down and stretched out his right hand, holding the wrist of the person at the entrance of the hole.
At this time, Liu Yong walked into the side room, and Li Qiufeng pulled upwards with his right hand, lifting the man in the cave up. It was Zhu Sanjia who fell into the cave.
Everyone's faces changed after hearing Zhu San's story. However, Situ Qiao looked happy and walked into the wing quickly without saying hello to everyone. Liu Yong was afraid that he would make a mistake, so he also followed in. Then Qingfeng
Taoist priests, Chu Danyang and others also walked in one after another.
Li Qiufeng saw Murong Danyan following her in excitedly, so he had no choice but to follow her into the side room.
After Li Qiufeng walked into the wing, he saw everyone leaning against the wall, holding fire folders in their hands, and sticking their heads out to look into the cave. Li Qiufeng stood next to Murong Danyan, and could see the square hole through the light of the fire folders.
The edges are not smooth, and there are gaps in many places. It can be seen that the big hole was excavated in a hurry that day. The light from the fire can only illuminate the depth of the big hole. Looking further down, it is dark. The four sides of the big hole are dark.
The wall is rugged, with jagged rocks, and is extremely steep. There are still unknown weeds growing in some places, but it is late autumn and these weeds have withered.
Situ Qiao first threw the fire stick in his hand into the hole. He saw the light of the fire stick getting smaller and smaller, and it took a long time before it disappeared into the darkness. He nodded and walked carefully along the edge of the hole.
Circle. Almost the floor of the house was occupied by the hole, and the space for him to walk was only one foot wide. Near the door, Liu Yong and others were standing. In order to make way for him, everyone pressed their vests tightly against the wall.
After Situ Qiao had made a complete turn, he turned to Zhu Sanjia who was standing outside the door and stuck his head into the house and said: "Old Zhu, that ancestor of your Zhu family most likely fell into this big hole.
Lost his life."
Zhu Sanjia was startled, then shook his head and said in a trembling voice: "If he fell to death in the cave, how could his skin be peeled off? Could it be that the bottom of this big cave leads to the valley outside the cave? He
After falling into this hole, his body was rubbed against the wall of the cave, causing all of his skin to be worn away, turning him into a bloody man, right?"
Situ Qiao was confident at first, but when Zhu Sanjia asked him a question, he immediately looked embarrassed. With a solemn look on his face, he walked around the edge of the big hole again, and when he reached not far to the right of the door of the wing, he suddenly stopped
He stopped his steps, leaned down, and watched carefully at the edge of the hole. After a while, he reached out and touched the edge of the hole, then put his hand on the end of his nose and sniffed a few times.
Under the bright light of Huo Zhezi, everyone saw Situ Qiao's expression suddenly change. They saw him stand up suddenly and said to Zhu Sanjia: "I remember you said that your ancestor once said something when he was dying.
.Tell me again, what did he say then?"
The Zhu San family didn't know what Situ Qiao meant, but seeing that he looked nervous, they didn't dare to ask more questions, and said: "He said, 'Dragon is real.' But none of the ancestors present at the time knew what this sentence meant.
What's the meaning……"
Situ Qiao didn't wait for him to finish. He jumped out of the door in a flash. Then he shouted loudly: "Everyone, get out of here quickly. There is a snake in this hole!"
When everyone heard him shouting loudly, everyone was frightened. When Murong Danyan heard him say that there was a snake in the cave, he was so frightened that his face turned pale. Everyone hurriedly ran out of the wing, because everyone was terrified and ran away.
There was chaos in the room. Xu Chenghe slipped and almost fell into the hole. Fortunately, Li Qiufeng followed behind him and supported his waist, so he did not fall in.
After everyone escaped from the wing, they all stayed far away from the wing on the left and did not dare to take a step closer. Liu Yong said: "Mr. Situ, how did you know there was a snake in this cave?"
Situ Qiao's face was still very ugly, and he pondered for a moment before saying: "I just discovered that the cave wall not far to the right of the door was very smooth, as if someone had polished it deliberately. I reached out and touched it, and then smelled something in my hand.
The fishy smell is indeed the smell left behind after a snake swam by. And when the man from the Zhu family said before he died, 'dragons are real,' you might as well think about it, what beasts look like dragons?"
When he said this, everyone suddenly realized. Murong Danyan said in a trembling voice: "If the big hole in the wing is really a snake hole, then wouldn't the body of the big snake living in the hole be as thick as the entrance of the hole..."
