A knife in love

Chapter 3849
Li Qiufeng turned around and saw Mao Shusheng standing a few feet behind him holding a torch in his right hand.With the light of the torch, it can be seen that the bottom of the cave is not very big, and the walls of the cave are very flat. It seems that the cave was dug by manpower.And behind Ye Fengchun, a round hole could be vaguely seen, about ten feet high and seven or eight feet wide, which looked very strange at first glance.

Li Qiufeng stared at the hole behind Mao Shusheng for a moment, then nodded, and then walked a few steps forward, leaving the bottom of the cave.After a while, Ye Fengchun and Murong Danyan stepped down the iron ladder to the bottom of the cave.Mao Shusheng pointed to the torches hanging on the wall of the cave and said, "Please ask shopkeeper Ye Da and the two young masters to take down a torch each, and let's go into the secret passage together to have a look."

After Li Qiufeng, Murong Danyan, and Ye Fengchun each took down a torch and lit it, Mao Shusheng led the way and walked straight to the circular hole.Li Qiufeng followed closely behind him, paying attention to the situation around him as he walked.The walls of this cave are flat, and the ground is also very flat, which shows that the cave was dug with great care.Li Qiufeng thought to himself, although he doesn't know how far Bailian Villa is from the outside of the mountain, but judging from the way we left the official road to Bailian Villa, it may not be less than tens of miles to go outside the mountain.If this secret passage leads all the way to the outside of the mountain, even if Mao Shusheng drives 10,000+ people to dig a cave, it will be more difficult to dig out this secret passage than climbing to the sky.Could it be that this secret road can't lead to the outside of the mountain at all, but it's just a trap used by Mao Shusheng to deceive us.

Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng was quite anxious, holding the torch in his left hand, holding the handle of the knife in his right, and staring at Scholar Mao who was walking a few feet away in front of him.Once Mao Shusheng did something wrong, he would go forward with a knife and capture or kill Mao Shusheng.After walking more than ten feet forward, Mao Shusheng still walked at a leisurely pace, nothing unusual at all.Seeing this situation, although Li Qiufeng breathed a sigh of relief, he did not dare to be careless, and was extremely careful with every step he took.

After they walked forward for more than thirty zhang, their eyes suddenly became clear, and they came to a huge and empty cave.By the light of the torches in everyone's hands, we can see that the cave is about five or six feet high, and the cave wall is uneven. It is obviously made by heaven and earth, not man-made.The whole cave is neither round nor square, and it is also round and square. The strange rocks on the ground are undulating, like many monsters crouching down. At first glance, it really makes one's heart palpitate.

Mao Shusheng held the torch in his left hand, looked around for a while, and then said: "When the Bailian Villa was built, I accidentally discovered this stone room. Mao and the elders of the Mao family were ecstatic, and they made up their minds. The idea is to use this secret passage as a hiding place and escape place for the Mao family. In order to hide the entrance of the secret passage, Mao ordered that a cave leading here be blocked with stones, and another stone cave was dug to lead to it. The stone chamber, and hide the entrance and exit of the cave in the pillars of the corridor. Therefore, the entrance to the secret road outside the mountain is actually the stone chamber in front of us."

After Mao Shusheng said this, he held a torch and moved forward.Li Qiufeng, Murong Danyan, and Ye Fengchun followed Mao Shusheng, looking around while walking.After Mao Shusheng walked to the center of the cave, he stopped, turned around and said to Li Qiufeng and others: "There are four caves in this cave, and each cave is quite strange. In order to find out the four Where the stone caves lead to, several Mao family elders have gone through hardships, and two of them lost their lives when they visited the caves. These four caves are all foreign objects made by heaven and earth, and one of the caves stretches for ten miles. For Yuli, there is a stone wall at the end, and it is impossible to pass forward. The end of the other two caves turned out to be a large underground river. Not to mention the turbulent water flow, the river water is extremely hot. Once entering the river, even if you are not drowned by the river , will be scalded to death by hot water..."

Before Mao Shusheng finished speaking, Murong Danyan suddenly rushed to say: "I don't know if there are snakes in the cave?"

Ye Fengchun was startled when he heard Murong Danyan say such a thing, not knowing why she would ask such a sentence.However, Li Qiufeng knew that when Murong Danyan was listening to Mao Shusheng, he thought of the scene of encountering the white and green twin snakes in Jingxin Temple under Hutou Rock that day, so he asked this question.Thinking of the scene of the white and green twin snakes chasing and killing everyone, Li Qiufeng shuddered in his heart, thinking that those two beasts were really powerful, if it wasn't for the help of the tiger Ah Er, I'm afraid I couldn't beat them at all.

When Li Qiufeng was thinking, he only heard Mao Shusheng say in a deep voice: "Young Master Mu, I don't know that the valley where Bailian Mountain Villa is located appeared after the fire erupted from the ground, and these underground stone caves were probably burnt through by the fire. Yes. Although poisonous snakes are powerful, the thing you fear most is fire, so Mr. Mu can rest assured that no poisonous snakes have ever appeared in our Bailian Villa, and no poisonous snakes have ever been seen in the underground caves and caves."

When Mao Shusheng said this, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "The two elders of the Mao family who encountered misfortune in the cave were not only extraordinary in skill, but also extremely shrewd. One of them stumbled and fell into the underground river. There were no bones left. Another elder was hit by falling rocks and was smashed to a bloody state. He died miserably. The cave has twists and turns and is tens of miles long, and the exit is actually a cliff, which is extremely strange. But fortunately, the exit of the cave was not discovered by the woodcutters and hunters outside the mountain."

When Li Qiufeng, Murong Danyan, and Ye Fengchun heard what Mao Scholar said, they were still in doubt, not sure whether what this person said was true or not, so they didn't speak for a while.After Mao Shusheng finished speaking, holding the torch in his left hand, he led Li Qiufeng and others to the left, and stopped when they reached the edge of the cave.I saw a hole on the wall of the cave, about four or five feet high, and only wide enough for one person to pass through.Mao Shusheng pointed to the entrance of the cave and said, "This cave is about ten miles long, and it is a dead end."

After Mao Shusheng finished speaking, he led the three of them along the cave wall to the right. After walking three or four feet, another stone cave appeared on the cave wall.Mao Shusheng said to the three people: "At the end of this cave is a large underground river. The river is hot, fast-flowing, and filled with moisture, making the stones under your feet wet and slippery. If you are not careful, you will fall into the big river, leaving no bones. That’s how the elder of the Mao family suffered misfortune.”

Murong Danyan looked at the dark cave entrance on the cave wall, and thought to himself that if Mao had not lied, this cave was indeed terrifying, but compared with those caves in Jingxin Temple, these caves were nothing at all. amazing.The one named Mao wanted to scare us with the cave, but he made a wrong calculation.
