Jin Yutong

Stepping into the cave, President Hou and the others have only one feeling, that is heat, and this kind of heat is not the sweltering heat felt on the suspension bridge, but the temperature is high on the suspension bridge, just like a hot summer with continuous high temperature, But it's different here. It's like jumping into the stove and being roasted by the fire. 【 】

In fact, they were indeed being roasted by the fire at this moment, but it was because they got into the cave and what appeared in front of them was nothing but a blazing sea of ​​flames.

What's going on with the scene in front of me? It's like the fairy caves that often appear on TV. When you enter the cave, you will see "little bridges and flowing water".

There is not only the lake, but also the bridge, and the green smoke floating on the lake makes the whole Dongfu shrouded in smoke, making it look hazy, and everything is like a fairyland on earth.

If this is the case, it would be the best, but the key is that the lake is not filled with clear water, but magma with large and small bubbles, and what is even more surprising is that the surface of the magma is still burning. The flames got higher and higher as they went to the two sides, and even the entire rock wall was burning. The flames were seven or eight feet high, flying like dragons and phoenixes, and the magma surface was bubbling like a frying pan. The scene looked extremely terrifying.

Not to mention Mr. Hou and the Huang brothers and sisters, even Chen Ran could see the sweat dripping from his forehead. Half of the sweat was roasted by the fire, and the other half was from being scared.

But after all, Chen Ran has already used Dan Qi to investigate. Although his scalp is numb, he knows that now is not the time to be dazed. Seeing Xiao Yu, Wu Bing, and even Mr. He was startled, and quickly reminded them: "Staying here will only make it hotter. Let's go to the cave. It shouldn't be so hot ahead."

What Chen Ran said was not because his alchemy had detected something. In fact, although he was using his alchemy to explore the way forward, but because he not only had to use his alchemy to protect himself, but also created a shield, it was just After a while, the energy of the alchemy in his body was completely consumed. It is conceivable how much the energy of the alchemy is consumed in him now. Fortunately, he has enough black ghosts now, otherwise it would be true that he often I can't afford him to consume so much. What's more, this cave gives him a very dangerous feeling, and his alchemy has to closely monitor the movement around him, so that he can find out in advance when there is danger.

In addition, the smog here also seriously affected his alchemy detection, so that the range of his alchemy detection is only five or six meters away, but this distance is enough for him to react if he finds danger , it is actually not of much use to go further away, at most it can satisfy his curiosity.

So his qi didn't detect anything, but he guessed what he said. The weirdo told him that he and his comrades had stayed in this cave for several days. With his temperature like this, let alone several days, it would be good to stay here and survive for half a day.

Of course, Chen Ran wasn't all guessing. To be honest, up to this moment, he was half-believing in what the weird man said to him.Device: no ads, full text, more

Another reason is the little guy in the blood cup.

When the little guy stayed near him, he didn't feel anything. It was far away, and he suddenly had a surprising discovery, that is, through the wonderful feeling between the little guy and him, he could actually pass the little guy. The guy's senses feel the environment where the little guy is, but the farther the distance is, the more blurred the senses will be.

As a result, although he didn't use Dan Qi to probe, he still sensed it through the little guy. In his vague sense, the place where the little guy was staying now didn't seem to be so hot.

The longer you delay here, the more dangerous it is, so after Chen Ran finished speaking, he pulled Xiaoyu and hurried forward, and Huang Lele naturally followed.

Wu Bing reacted and followed Chen Ran almost without hesitation. Huang Shaopeng looked back at Mr. Hou, and quickly followed with sweat profusely.

"Well, let's go, go ahead and have a look, if it's not good, you can go back."

Although Mr. Hou has a lot of knowledge, he has never seen such a scene. His skin was scorching hot after being burned at the entrance of the cave, not to mention the inside, which made him hesitate and wonder if he should go in. , but seeing that Chen Ran had already gone in, he could only grit his teeth and lead Sun Li and Liu Qing to follow.

Just as they imagined, the temperature really got higher the further they walked, and the temperature almost reached [-] degrees after less than half the distance. Except for Chen Ran, Xiaoyu, and Huang Lele, Mr. Hou They all have a feeling of being roasted, and there is an obvious smell of meat on their bodies, and each of them is also suffocated. This is because they dare not breathe at all at this time. When I inhale, I feel like my throat and stomach are on fire.

By this time, Mr. Hou already regretted coming in a bit, but he had already walked so far, and he regretted that he had to go on in one go, but he obviously couldn't hold on anymore.

Chen Ran has alchemy in his body so nothing will happen, but in fact Chen Ran is not relaxed, because his whole nerves are tense, not only has to distract himself from protecting Xiao Yu and Huang Lele, but also has to keep an eye on him all the time Beware of danger, and also distracted to explore the way, it can be said that he is the most uncomfortable in the group of them. Therefore, although he does not feel roasted, he is still sweating all the time.

The most relaxed ones were undoubtedly Xiaoyu and Huang Lele. The two of them were covered by the shield formed by Chen Ran's Danqi, and they could hardly feel the temperature outside.

Huang Lele has been tortured for a long time. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is a walking dead. Naturally, she did not notice this, but Xiao Yu did, and she clearly felt the pain from Chen Ran holding her hand. There was a constant cool feeling on his right hand.

This cool feeling entered her body and rushed to all parts of her body. Every time there was a wave, her body suddenly felt a little more comfortable.

She knew Chen Ran's ability, so she naturally guessed what was going on. Originally, she was worried that Chen Ran's continuous delivery of such aura to her and Huang Lele would make Chen Ran lose his strength, but after hearing about Chen Ran's As long as she continued to absorb the energy in the black ghost stone, she would be fine, so she was relieved.

Xiaoyu and Huang Lele were watched by Chen Ran secretly, but the others were not so lucky, even Wu Bing was no exception.

It's not that Chen Ran doesn't want to help Wu Bing, it's just that he really can't care less.

After all, Wu Bing was a soldier. Although his face was flushed from being suppressed and his skin was roasted red, he could still hold his breath. Huang Shaopeng, who followed Chen Ran with him, couldn't do it. He was all dizzy, and now he was a little delirious. If Wu Bing hadn't been pulling him aside, he would have collapsed directly.

Zhang Yang is worse than Huang Shaopeng, but his perseverance is obviously not as good as Wu Bing's, and he is already a bit confused. Fortunately, relying on his survival instinct, he has not fallen behind.

The worst performers are undoubtedly Mr. Hou and Liu Qing. Although Mr. Hou has a high position and authority, he only participated in training when he was young, but he is no longer able to do it now. It is not as good as Huang Shaopeng. After all, Huang Shaopeng is young, and he has passed out just now , but luckily Sun Li was stronger and carried him on his back.

Liu Qing wasn't in poor health, but because Chen Ran had a prejudice against him, he didn't give him proper conditioning on the Hanging Road, which made his body worse than Hou's. Although he hasn't fainted yet, he Already left behind.

Naturally, Chen Ran was clear about the situation of the people behind, but there was nothing he could do now, so he could only take Xiaoyu and Huang Lele out quickly, and then he would come back to help them.

What caught him off guard was that when he was at the entrance of the cave, he felt that the distance between the little guy and him was only about 100 meters, which made him think that he would be able to walk through it. But who knew that the bridge on the sea of ​​fire they walked was not a straight road, but a detour, why did it detour, because the lava under the sea of ​​fire is very strange, there are many places like fountains, like The volcanic eruption has not been completely erupted and there is still residual heat erupting. The magma erupted from these places is less than one foot low, and the high one is more than ten feet high.

Speaking of this, I have to talk about the bridge under their feet that surprised Chen Ran. The whole bridge is black, and I don't know what material it is made of. It has the function of preventing fire. The flames of the sea of ​​fire under the bridge will automatically extinguish when they touch the bridge, and the flames on both sides of the bridge will never burn to the bridge.

Chen Ran even wondered if the bridge had a suppressive effect on the flames. Otherwise, there were almost no flames near the bridge, and the flames would get higher as they extended to both sides.

Moreover, this bridge also has the effect of driving away the thick smoke on the lava, which reminded Chen Ran that when they crossed the suspended road, the suspended road also had the effect of driving away the thick smoke.

Chen Ran feels that the two should be the same material, but one of them has been processed.

Before that, Chen Ran had heard that there was a stele in the collection of the Forest of Steles Cultural Relics Protection Institute in Hangzhou that also had the function of warding off fire and suppressing it.

The name of that stele is called Pihuo Stele. It is said to be an item from the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. Of course, it is said to be an item from the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. It just means that the stele appeared during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, not that it was built during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. of.

During the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, most of the houses in Hangzhou were wooden houses, which were connected to each other, and it was easy to catch fire. In order to be safe, a lecturer named Chen Qijin, who is equivalent to the current university president, found four fire steles, one It was placed in front of the Guandi Temple on Zhong'an Bridge, which is now at the intersection of Qingchun Road and Zhongshan Middle Road. One piece was embedded in the city wall of the Drum Tower, the other piece was placed in the Mercury Pavilion, and the other piece was placed at that time. No exact information can be found. Can't confirm.

There are four fire steles, each nearly one person tall, with the words "Pu Huo Tu" engraved on the top, and a complex pattern below, which looks like an enlarged seal. According to research, the curved hua pattern inside is seal script. One of the changed fonts in the book is the nine-fold script, and the meaning of the text is written in the pattern: the essence of one six, the shape of a turtle and a snake.

According to expert translation, these eight characters describe a god in the legend——Zhenwu Emperor, also known as Xuanwu God.

Legend has it that Emperor Zhenwu belonged to water, "Tai Yin transforms and produces, and the water level controls water and reduces fire, and relieves water and fire. Therefore, Zhenwu temples were often built in the imperial palaces of the Ming Dynasty to pray for the disaster of water and fire.

The fire stele collected in the Forest of Steles in Hangzhou was the one placed in front of the Guandi Temple at that time, and the other three are no longer found.

The preserved stone tablet has the function of preventing fire. When the flame burns to the stone tablet, the flame will be extinguished slowly, instead of continuing to burn through the stone tablet.

When Chen Ran heard it before, he just listened to it as a story, but he didn't believe it at all. Now he didn't expect to see such a miraculous thing.

It’s just that Chen Ran can’t figure out why the temperature here is so high. Why do people still build such a place here? The most puzzling thing for him is undoubtedly how it was built here, not to mention other things, only to say that it is built on the magma The bridge on it is really unimaginable.

In addition, how did the people who built this bridge pass this bridge? The temperature here is so high. Although Wu Bing and Zhang Yang may have less physical strength because they have not eaten enough and have not drank water, but even if they are well, so The temperature is so high, and it is difficult to pass through such a long distance, unless it is under the condition of sufficient water, but there is no water replenishment here, and there is not enough water to bring.

And how did the weirdo and his comrades pass.

Undoubtedly, the third master was the most unlucky one. Obviously, he had just entered the cave when he ran into a weird man. The weird man was so delirious that he probably regarded him as an enemy and chased him down.

Chen Ran didn't think much about it. At this time, Huang Shaopeng had already passed out, and even Wu Bing was a little confused. Although Zhang Yang was holding on, he was a little behind. Sun Li was better than the others, but he But he has to carry Mr. Hou behind his back.

Chen Ran knew that he couldn't procrastinate any longer. If he procrastinated any longer, he would definitely die. Although his alchemy could regulate the body, it couldn't bring people back to life.

Chen Ran talked to Xiaoyu about the situation, and Xiaoyu asked him to carry Huang Lele on his back, and then the two ran wildly together.

Fortunately, at this time, they were actually almost at the end, so they ran along this magical bridge for less than a hundred meters, and they ran to the end.

After reaching the end, Chen Ran was also stunned for a while, and then he finally figured out a problem.

After understanding this question, he immediately became agitated.
