Lin Jue's heart is like a mirror, so he is not surprised. If he were himself, I would not easily trust a stranger unless he really proved his ability. That prescription is definitely effective. In Lin Jue's opinion, this
The wife of the village leader just had pneumonia or bronchitis. Any medicine that moistens the lungs and relieves inflammation will relieve the symptoms. As for why the two doctors did not cure this not-so-complicated disease, Lin Jue had no idea.
"It doesn't matter if you wait for a while, I'm afraid it will delay your condition. Since the leader of the village has given the order, let's ask the second master to lead the way." Lin Jue cupped his hands and said.
Dong Kui nodded, turned around and walked out. Lin Jue and Ruan Ping and Gao Muqing looked at each other, and the three of them followed Dong Kui. Qian Bao followed. After going out, a dozen guards gathered around with lanterns.
The footsteps were jittery as they headed down the cliff behind.
The further they walked, the more puzzled Lin Jue and the others became. In the beautiful garden-like place in front of them, Zuo Zongdao did not live there, which was hard to understand. The further they walked towards the back of the cliff,
, the surroundings became darker and darker, and the surrounding area was pitch black, as if they were in the wilderness. The number of soldiers and horses patrolling in the surrounding darkness increased significantly, because there were more dotted lanterns wandering back and forth. Each lantern
A patrol team was patrolling, and the security was obviously tighter.
Finally, there was a "clang" sound from the front, followed by a "squeaking" sound of the crankshaft pulling the rope. The rock wall in front of me suddenly seemed to have cracked a gap, revealing a dazzling light. The scene in front of me made me laugh.
Lin Jue and the others were in a daze. They were stunned for several breaths before they reacted in surprise.
But under the dark cliff in front of me, like Ali Baba's treasure cave, a suspension bridge was slowly falling from the cliff. As the suspension bridge fell, the bright light inside was also projected out. The suspension bridge covered the tunnel dug in the cliff.
The entrance to a huge cave on the rock of the mountain wall. Judging from the regular semicircular outline of the cave entrance, this should be an artificial rock wall cave. In other words, Zuo Zongdao actually placed his residence in the mountain behind the main village.
Inside the cave dug into the wall.
Lin Jue didn't know what to say. He couldn't live in the garden-like place in front, but wanted to live in the cave in the cliff behind. What kind of mentality is this? Everyone knows about living in a cave with a stone wall.
It's definitely not very comfortable, compared to living on flat ground. The reason why Zuo Zongdao wants to live here is obviously not something unique, but probably for safety reasons. Think about that majestic village
Gate, the majestic Juyi Hall like a palace, and the grandeur of 999 stone steps. Compared with Zuo Zongdao living in a cave in front of him, this is simply shocking. This is an extremely unsafe
Feeling is causing trouble.
Lin Jue found it funny and felt sad for Zuo Zongdao. However, Lin Jue did not want to see this kind of insecurity, because the more it was like this, the more Zuo Zongdao would be more vigilant, which also meant taking action against him.
It's even more difficult.
"Please!" Dong Kui said solemnly.
Lin Jue took a breath and followed him onto the suspension bridge. He subconsciously looked to both sides, but couldn't see anything in the darkness. But Qian Bao from behind spoke: "Be careful, there is a trench below, and there is nothing inside."
If there is something sharp, it will be over if it falls."
Lin felt his scalp numb, and he quickly averted his eyes and walked forward quickly. At the end of the suspension bridge, which was more than ten steps long, was the entrance to the cave. More than ten burly bandits stood guard at the entrance, and one of them was actually wearing a
The rare armor seemed to be a leader. He stretched out a palm towards the group of people walking from a distance, indicating that it was over.
Even Dong Kui stopped in front of them, cupped his hands and said: "Captain Zhang, please go and report to the leader of the village that he has brought the person he wants to see."
"Second Village Master, wait a moment, I will report to the First Village Master." Captain Zhang returned in a deep voice, waved his hand, and a person behind him ran towards the cave.
Not long after, the person who reported the report came back and said loudly: "The leader of Dazhai has invited you."
Captain Zhang nodded and said to Dong Kui and Qian Bao: "Master of the Second Village and the Master of the Third Village, please unload your weapons."
Dong Kui and Qian Bao had actually taken off the weapons and held them in their hands. They seemed to have been accustomed to this procedure, and hung the weapons on the wooden stakes on the cave wall without any discomfort. The movements were already familiar.
"Let's go." Dong Kui turned around and said.
Lin Jue and others were about to leave, but Captain Zhang suddenly stretched out his hand to stop them and said, "Do these three people carry weapons with them?"
Qian Bao said: "I unloaded it at the entrance of the main village."
Captain Zhang frowned and looked at the three of them up and down, stretched out his hand and said: "You can't bring short weapons with you. If you have any on you, please hand it over yourself. I don't want to search your bodies."
Ruan Ping frowned, but there was nothing he could do. He reached out and pulled out the dagger from his boot and handed it over. Seeing this, Gao Muqing had to bend down and pull out the dagger from his boot. But she couldn't bear the dozens of flying knives in her armor.
He planned to take it out. Lin Jue spread his hands and said, "I don't have any weapons on me, and I don't have any in my boots."
Captain Zhang said resolutely: "You'd better take the initiative yourself. If I find out, you will have violated the rules of our Shiren Mountain Dazhai."
Ruan Ping, Gao Muqing, Lin Jue and the other three people were silent. This situation was really unexpected, especially Lin Jue. He didn't want the two bastard boxes to be taken away. In that case, how could he assassinate Zuo Zongdao? Even Ruan Ping and Gao Muqing, with their bodies
The hidden short sword cannot be taken away, otherwise we will be able to fight with bare hands.
Lin Jue frowned and looked very unhappy. As soon as Captain Zhao waved his hand, several soldiers came forward to search him. Lin Jue suddenly shouted coldly: "I'm here to treat the wife of your Dazhai leader.
So rude. After all, we are guests from Beishan Dazhai. You asked us to hand over our weapons and we have handed over our weapons. Now that we have nothing on us, you still want to search us? It is simply too much to bully people. Just search us. After the search,
Don't think that I will treat your village master's wife again. The soldiers can be killed and not humiliated. Village master Dong, village master Qian, let me put it here, even our big village master has never treated us like this. Today is an eye-opener.
Already."
Captain Zhao was stunned and stared at Lin Jue. Dong Kui hurriedly whispered a few words into Captain Zhao's ear. Captain Zhao was stunned and hesitated. Qian Bao also hurriedly stepped forward and whispered a few words. Captain Zhao smiled slightly.
Nodding. "Go in." Captain Zhao waved his hand.
Dong Kui and Qian Bao hurriedly thanked them and motioned to Lin Jue and the others to go inside. Lin Jue breathed a sigh of relief and walked quickly inside.
Qian Bao in the front whispered in Dong Kui's ear: "Zhao Zheng is getting more and more arrogant. Damn it, relying on the leader of the village to respect him, look at his moral character. I'm so upright."
The master of the second village and the master of the third village, he has given me a look. He has stopped taking us seriously."
Dong Kui said coldly: "Don't worry, third brother, I will make him look good sooner or later. Just be patient."
Not far ahead, at the end guarded by several bandits, the road branches off to the left and right. The west end leads to another hall, with figures of people swaying in the fire, while the east end leads to a long branch.
The corridor. People walked through the corridor, and their footsteps echoed noisily in the corridor, giving people a strange and weird feeling.
This scene evoked Lin Jue's memories. This corridor was similar to the one that led to the cave in the underground warehouse of Taohua Island. It was long and closed. Walking in such a corridor, it felt like there were rocks everywhere.
They were all oppressive, making people feel suffocated. This pattern also made Lin Jue a little worried about whether he would be able to come out safely later.
Fortunately, everyone quickly arrived at the end of the corridor. After pushing open a heavy door, the scene in front suddenly opened up. It gave people the feeling of emerging from drowning, and everything in front of them made Lin Jue wait.
Everyone was astonished. In front of them was an exquisite courtyard with winding corridors, rockeries, and luxuriant flowers and trees. The red lanterns between the pavilions and corridors swayed slightly, reflecting the shadows of the flowers, trees, and columns in a deep and hazy way. The scenery here
The air was circulating, and there was a cool air blowing through the entire pavilion. What was even stranger was that Lin Jue saw a thick layer of white snow covering the rockery in the middle of the corridor. Lin Jue subconsciously looked toward the dark top.
Through a corner of the corridor, he saw the starry sky. Lin Jue was stunned.
The top here is actually empty. The divine work of heaven and earth has created a small sinkhole in the middle of the mountain wall. And the exquisite courtyard here takes advantage of this by digging a cave.
The corridor connects here, and we finally found this sunken place among the rocks and opened it up into a beautiful courtyard.
This place is really like a small peach blossom garden. It is not stuffy and cramped, but it can also ensure safety. No wonder Zuo Zongdao couldn't live in the big houses outside and chose to live in this mountain wall. But there is a problem. Lin Jue
I'm a little confused. With this arrangement, if someone throws stones down into the crack in the mountain wall above, wouldn't the people below have nowhere to hide? Or if someone throws burning trees and firewood, wouldn't everyone below be burned?
Roast pig?
However, Lin Jue quickly gave up this idea. Since Zuo Zongdao dared to live in such terrain, it means that he had already taken precautions against it. Either there were heavy guards on the mountain wall above, or no one could reach the mountain at all.
The position at the top of the wall. After all, the Shiren Mountain is steep. Up the mountainside, there are almost precipitous terrains that no one can set foot on. Some places may be inaccessible even to apes, monkeys and animals. I am afraid that I have too many thoughts.
