Thick smoke was billowing, and at that time the Shennong Gang set off poisonous weeds and poisonous mist, shouting and killing, and the surrounding Shennong Gang members blocked all the roads going down the mountain. For a while, members of the Wuliang Sword Sect and a group of martial arts people fled here and there.
He turned around in confusion, but could not find a way to break out of the mountain.
Hidden on a big tree, with thick branches and leaves in front of him, Xingwu clasped his hands behind his back and watched leisurely. He did not take action immediately, because rescuing people must be effective at the most critical moment. When they were desperate
Helping them get out of trouble can create incomparable favors.
At this moment, the members of the Wuliang Sword Sect seemed to be trapped in Jianhu Palace and unable to go down the mountain. However, there was no real confrontation between the two sides, and it was far from being in a desperate situation.
Sure enough, after running for many times but still unable to find the path down the mountain, Zuo Zimu and Xing Shuangqing looked at each other among the crowd. There was no hostility in each other's eyes. Xing Shuangqing nodded slightly, Zuo Zi
Mu then stepped forward and said loudly: "Everyone, please don't panic. We have a way down the mountain from the Jianhu Palace of the Wuliang Sword Sect. Please come with me." After saying that, he took the lead and walked back towards the Jianhu Palace.
"All disciples of the Wuliang Sword Sect, listen to the order, let all the martial arts colleagues go first, everyone at the back." At this time, Xing Shuangqing also shouted loudly, the situation was critical, and the disciples did not care about the gap between the Eastern and Western Sects, and all did as they were told.
A group of people lined up neatly and walked into the Jianhu Palace without any panic. After all, these people have been in the world for a long time and have never seen anything before. Although there was a little panic at first, they all suppressed it now.
After everyone had entered the palace, Xuanwu jumped down from the big tree and landed four or five feet away. He then spread out with slight steps and chased after them.
He is highly skilled in martial arts and extremely skilled in movement, and there are many people in front of him. They are eager to escape and have no time to care about what is behind them. Therefore, it is very easy for him to follow behind, and there is no need to deliberately hide his figure.
Zuo Zimu led everyone to the back mountain of Jianhu Palace. Here there are many rockeries and pools of water. There is a cliff next to it and a stream of water flows down.
He walked to the cliff, turned a moss-covered stone to the right three times, and then pushed it up again, and there was a clicking sound from the cliff wall.
Under everyone's surprised gazes, a stone door slowly opened, revealing a faint cave entrance. Inside, you could vaguely see a long secret passage at the bottom of the mountain.
laugh
Opening the fire seal, Zuo Zimu stepped forward first, then turned around and said, "Everyone, please come with me quickly."
Everyone behind them also took out the fire sticks from their bodies and followed. Xuanwu saw this from behind a rockery at the back. He immediately took a step forward and used the Lingbo Wei Step to the extreme. When he saw a gust of breeze blowing by, he passed through everyone.
It swept in sideways and disappeared within it.
Those who were eager to escape did not notice this situation. They were just eager to follow up. After everyone entered, Xing Shuangqing was the last one to enter. She triggered a mechanism inside, and the stone door slowly closed.
The rocks that were often covered with moss fell off the mountain wall with a scraping sound, making it impossible to open them from the outside world.
The design of this mechanism is very clever. When the founder of the Wuliang Sword Sect built the Jianhu Palace, he specially invited expert craftsmen to come and dig it secretly. This mechanism was designed from the beginning only to be used at the critical moment of the sect's life and death, and it could only be used
Use once.
Back then, when the Wuliang Sword Sect was divided into three parts due to civil strife, this secret passage mechanism had not been used. However, today during the sect competition, it was forced to use it. One after another in the secret passage, Zuo Zimu
He Xing Shuangqing was filled with emotions, feeling ashamed of their ancestors.
Boom boom
While everyone was running away in a hurry, they suddenly heard a loud rumbling sound behind them. Everyone was shocked. When they looked back, they saw in the darkness, huge boulders falling from above the secret passage behind them, like a group of meteorites falling from the sky.
Like, the momentum is astonishing.
"Secretary Zuo, what on earth is going on?" Among the crowd, a rough-looking man shouted sharply, his eyes full of doubts and hostility.
Other martial arts people who were not members of the Wuliang Sword Sect also looked at him, with obvious wariness in their eyes. Even those disciples of the Wuliang Sword Sect also looked over with doubts on their faces.
"Don't worry, everyone. This is the secret passage mechanism of our sect. It is designed to prevent enemies from chasing after us. It is controlled by Junior Sister Xing Shuangqing." Zuo Zimu hurriedly explained that at this critical moment, he did not want to do this.
And internal strife broke out.
Everyone looked back again, and sure enough they saw Xing Shuangqing at the back pressing a mechanism in the wall with his right hand, and a large number of stones fell down on the secret passage within a ten-foot radius, blocking the passage.
"Everyone, don't hesitate any longer and leave quickly," Xing Shuangqing said solemnly. Seeing this, everyone no longer had any doubts and hurried forward.
Behind them, rumbling sounds sounded from time to time, reverberating in the passage, and it was extremely heavy, making everyone feel more depressed and move faster.
Looking back at the falling boulders behind him, Xianwu couldn't help but admire the predecessors of the Wuliang Sword Sect. This sect may not be a top-notch martial arts sect, but its way of survival is amazing.
be surprised.
This passage was very long, and everyone walked for about two-quarters of an hour without seeing the end. The passage was straight and sloping downward, as if it led all the way to the bottom of the mountain.
Not long after, everyone heard the sound of rumbling water in front of them. The sound of water got closer and closer, and became louder and louder. In the end, it seemed to be ringing in their ears, and everyone felt as if they were walking in a torrential flood.
After walking about a hundred meters, a glimmer of light began to appear in front of them. Everyone moved forward quickly and finally saw the entrance of the cave. However, there was a roar of water in front of the entrance. A curtain of water hung down in front of the entrance, which looked like the legendary Monkey King's water.
Like a curtain hole.
"Master Zuo, what is this?" Everyone asked hesitantly, but after what happened before, everyone was no longer so wary and hostile. They just looked at Zuo Zimu and waited for his answer.
Zuo Zimu turned around and smiled and said: "Don't panic, everyone, there are chain bridges here that can lead directly to the opposite shore." He pointed his hand downwards.
Everyone followed their fingers and looked, and sure enough they saw several thick black iron chains in the wet soil below. Zuo Zimu stopped talking and went ahead, and everyone followed.
After passing through the water curtain, everyone's clothes were soaked through. When we got outside, we felt the sun was dazzling and the water below was roaring. When we lowered our heads, we saw that the Lancang River was rushing past. The water was so fast that it slapped against both sides of the bank and splashed.
The layers of waves tens of feet high are frightening to watch.
Fortunately, everyone here is a martial arts practitioner, and their courage is much greater than ordinary people. There are also iron cable bridges connecting them under their feet. Although walking is shaky, it doesn't take long for everyone to reach the other side.
.
Clang
On the opposite bank, Zuo Zimu and Xing Shuangqing pulled out their swords at the same time, walked to the iron rope bridge, and waved them with all their strength. However, after hearing a few clanking sounds, several thick iron ropes were cut off by the two of them, and the huge iron rope bridge responded.
Several huge wooden boards fell down, and when they were washed away by the surging flood, they immediately shattered into pieces.
Seeing everyone's hearts startled, I recalled that I had just walked on it. If someone accidentally fell down like these wooden boards, they would be instantly shattered into pieces and die without a burial place.
While being frightened, gratitude towards the Wuliang Sword Sect also arose spontaneously. Although this time it was because of them that they suffered this misfortune, it was also because of them that they were able to escape and ascend to heaven. This time, the emotions were ups and downs, but instead
It makes people remember it longer.
"Master Zuo, Master Xing, I will not thank you for your kindness. In the future, Wuliang Sword Sect can come to us if you have any problems. After returning this time, we will definitely help you get rid of the Shennong Gang and retake Wuliang Mountain." At the moment
Several people came out and said.
"Thank you very much for that, but it's getting late now. Let's find a place to rest for a while." Zuo Zimu said with a smile, stretched out his hand, and acted like a master again.
On the other side, although Xing Shuangqing looked happy, he still had a serious look on his face, looking at nothing, thinking that this Zuo Zimu is indeed a better person than Xing Shuangqing. No wonder the East Sect has been overpowering the West in the past few years.
Zongtou.
It was getting dark, and everyone walked in the dense forest for about a quarter of an hour. Finally, they stopped at a cliff, rested on the spot, and lit a fire to roast some game meat brought by the disciples of the East and West Sect.
At this time, Wuwu had changed into the clothes of a Dongzong disciple and was mixed in among them. He sat in front of a fire and leaned against a big wild boar. He smelled the fragrant fragrance and his appetite increased greatly.
From searching for the Wuliang Jade* Cave, to practicing the Beiming Divine Art and Lingbo Weibu, and then walking with this group of people for such a period of time, he had not eaten anything and his stomach was already empty.
He tore off a large piece of pig leg and started to bite it immediately. After eating it for a short time, he immediately stopped. His ears twitched slightly and he paid attention to the dark surroundings. However, he smiled knowingly in his heart. He knew that the Wuliang Sword Sect was
It's impossible to escape so easily.
Several rustling footsteps were heard, and everyone was immediately on guard. They picked up their weapons and stood up. They looked in the direction of the footsteps. It was pitch dark there. Even with the light of the fire, they could only see about a few feet away.
distance.
The footsteps became louder and louder, and it was obvious that the other party had no intention of hiding it. Not long after, under the gaze of everyone, a row of people holding big knives and wearing some coarse cloth walked over.
These people look like mountain robbers, but they walk in neat steps and look straight in the eyes. They have regularity and discipline, as well as strong cohesion that martial arts people don't have.
There were four to five hundred people in total, all of them lined up neatly and approached. They stopped about ten feet away from the opposite side. The queue separated in the middle, and a young man dressed neatly and with high-quality fabrics came forward. Behind him,
Several men with calm auras, you can tell at a glance that they are martial arts masters.dd
