Rent Affair

Chapter 43
I looked at the old man suspiciously, wondering whether what he said was true or not, if he really had such ability, how could he be trapped here by Yang Hechang for so long, I'm afraid he just wanted to get rid of Yang Hechang with the help of me and Xiaoying As for the fact that he said that there is a way to save Wang Jianmin, it is purely an expedient measure, to temporarily stabilize the hearts of the two of us, so that we can do our best to settle Yang and Chang.

The old man took a sip of his tea and said with a smile on his face, "After finishing this cup of tea, I will go. I will take the two of you to find him!"

Hearing what he said, while he was bowing his head, I winked at Xiaoying, then glanced at the old man, Xiaoying understood, and nodded lightly, I really want to see what the old man is selling in his gourd medicine?

After drinking tea, the old man went upstairs to get a peach wood sword, and led me and Xiaoying to a mountain to the east of the villa. The branches of the trees stood up densely, which was terrifying to the eyes. When he reached the foot of the mountain, the old man walked up the mountain along a winding mountain road.

After walking for a while, the old man led the two of us to a cave. The entrance of this cave was like a giant beast with a bloody mouth open. The gloomy black paint swallowed up the light that shot in. Looking inside, the sight could only be I saw that the entrance of the cave was less than half a step inward.

The old man took out a Taoist talisman from his bosom and picked it up on the peach-wood sword, pointed it with two fingers, the Taoist talisman on the peach-wood sword ignited fire, the fire was not burning well, it was more than enough to act as a light source, the old man turned around Come on, look at the two of us, and said, "The structure of this cave is complex, with criss-cross intersections. You must follow me. If you get lost, you will probably die of hunger and thirst in this cave!" He plunged into the cave.

I took Xiaoying's hand and lowered my voice so as not to be heard by the old man who hadn't gone far, "This old man has ulterior motives, he will play by ear, so don't be careless!"

Xiaoying nodded, and answered, I asked Xiaoying to walk in front of me, and I finished, even if something suddenly appeared behind me, I could still protect her.

The further you go into the cave, the narrower it becomes. The stone walls on both sides keep shrinking inward, only allowing one person to pass through. The old man held up the Taoist talisman to act as a weak light source, walked slowly, and walked a few more times. After ten steps, he suddenly turned his head and said, "Listen! There is the sound of water ahead, we are almost at the fork, follow up!"

Chaku?Hearing these two words, I was startled, and thought to myself that if the old man had a different intention, he would definitely attack in this fork hole. Thinking, I took two steps forward and put my hand on Xiaoying's waist On top of her, she walked forward tightly against her, Xiaoying knew that this was out of consideration for the safety of the two of us, so she didn't refuse, but the fragrance from her body kept rushing towards her face, the faint fragrance, for a moment The time actually made me a little distracted.

Xiaoying stopped in her tracks and exclaimed in surprise, "The old man is gone!"

When she said this, I quickly pulled myself out, and saw that the surroundings were pitch black, and the only light spot disappeared... I hurriedly urged Xiaoying to use the same method as the old man to create a light source, Xiaoying listened to me, He took out a talisman from his bosom and put it into the void, a ball of fire ignited ragingly in the void, instantly illuminating his eyes.

I hurriedly looked at the surrounding environment through this halo, and two steps forward was a circular open space. The walls of this open space were full of caves of various sizes. There were so many caves. The scalp is numb, looking straight ahead, but I don't know which cave is the real passage.

I cursed in my heart, I really followed the old man's way and entered such a hole. Fortunately, I was able to exit the hole. Just as I was thinking, I heard a rumbling sound behind me, and I turned around Looking around, I saw a spherical stone rolling towards me and Xiaoying. I pushed Xiaoying forward in a panic. This spherical stone got stuck at the entrance of the cave and sealed the way out. I can be sure that this is definitely the old man. The trigger mechanism and other things, it seems that this posture is to trap me and Xiaoying in this cave.

But now there is no escape route, the surroundings are full of caves, and I don’t know who can escape from this cave. For a while, the two of us have no way out, so we simply sat on the ground, observing the forked caves on the four walls, and thinking of ways.

The caves in this cave must extend in all directions, and all of them communicate with each other. I think the old man has another truth, that is, if he enters this fork cave by mistake, he can only sit and wait for death. People can only survive for seven days without drinking water. , if we can live twice as long without eating, Xiaoying and I are both mortals, and we are afraid that we will die of dehydration if we don’t drink water for seven days.

Xiaoying stood up, walked to a nearby cave, touched the rock wall with her hand, and said, "The rock formation of this cave looks like a cave formed by natural stalactites. Naturally, this cave will not communicate with the outside world. If that If what the old man said is true, there must be a path that was manually excavated to the outside world, as long as you find that path, you can escape!"

What Xiaoying said is reasonable, but looking around, there are tens of thousands of caves in these four caves, and it took a long time to find them one by one. After Xiaoying finished speaking, she started looking for it on her own, and she was too embarrassed to sit down, so she had to stand up and look for it with her.

After searching in this empty place for an unknown amount of time, Dao Talismans burned one after another, but they still couldn't find the artificially dug cave that Xiaoying said. Time to go? Why don’t you try to see if you can get rid of the spherical stone blocking the entrance of the cave, try to squeeze it out, and get out the same way!”

Seeing me lowering my head and sighing, Xiaoying comforted me, "If you're tired, take a rest, I'll find it myself!" She paused, then turned and pointed to the spherical stone and said, "If you want to push away the stone blocking the entrance of the cave, Don't even think about it, the stone weighs at least a few thousand catties, and it cannot be pushed away by human power alone. Even Taoism can only force the stone to explode, but once the stone is exploded, the splashed stones are inevitable. It will hurt you and me by mistake, it is better to find a way out honestly!"

If the spherical stone explodes, not to mention that the flying gravel will hurt both of us, but when it explodes, it will cause the cave to collapse, and we must be buried alive. Thinking about it, Xiaoying thinks more carefully, I I had to settle down and continue to search for the artificially dug cave patiently.

After searching for a long time, Xiaoying suddenly exclaimed, I followed the sound, and saw her face beaming with joy, pointing to a cave at the top opposite, and said, "Look, that's the cave to get out of!"

I looked in the direction her finger was pointing at. This cave was no different from the surrounding caves. I wondered how she could be sure that was the cave from which she could escape.
Xiaoying clicked her lips, at a loss for words, she didn't know how to explain, she just said, just trust her!

Right now, I can't find any other caves in this empty cave, so I have to trust Xiaoying.

Xiaoying took my hand, jumped up, and flew straight to the cave she pointed out just now. After entering the cave, I saw that the passageway in the cave was winding and dark, and I couldn't see my fingers when I stretched out my hand. It is covered with all kinds of moss. When you touch the stone wall with your hands, you will feel hairy and make your back feel cold.

Xiaoying took out a Dao Talisman from her bosom, and ignited a small fireball. She pointed her two fingers at the fireball, as if pushing it forward, only to see that the fireball moved forward slowly at the same speed as Xiaoying.

After walking for a long time, I couldn't see any light, or something else. After walking for dozens of steps, there was a gentle breeze blowing towards my face. Xiaoying was very proud, and said to herself, "Look! Believe me, I'm right!"

While talking, she didn't stop, she kept walking, until she saw a faint light not far away, she quickened her pace, and hurriedly walked towards the exit, when she reached the exit of the devil's lair, she saw me The location of the two of them was less than ten meters from the entrance of the cave.

I looked around and spent a full day in the cave. The night in the mountain forest is dense, with dead branches standing densely, and the bright white moonlight shines on these dry trunks. It looked extraordinarily creepy.

Xiaoying stood there, rested for a while, and said, "We have to go to that old man first, I'm afraid he will do something to Wang Jianmin!"

The old man lured me and Xiaoying into this devil's lair. He definitely didn't want to trap us both alive in it, but to use this method to drag me in. During this period, he must have something to do , I didn't want the two of us to be separated from it, thinking of this, I panicked, secretly thinking something was wrong, I hurriedly took Xiaoying's hand and ran down the mountain.

But just after I ran not far away, I could only hear rustling sounds behind me, like human footsteps, but there was a rustling sound when walking on the wild grass in this mountain forest, and Xiaoying and I stopped , Qiqi turned around to look, but he couldn't see anyone behind him, or a foreign object.

I wondered in my heart whether I was rushing down the mountain too quickly, mistook the sound I made for something else, and frightened myself, and then I thought about it, even if I was nervous for a while, Xiaoying would never do it, and she would I heard a strange noise, and I guess someone must be following us.

Xiaoying made a "shh" gesture, and said in a very low voice, "Run forward first and then stop, I want to see what's going on in this forest!"

As soon as Xiaoying finished speaking, she took my hand and ran down the mountain at a very fast speed. The voice behind her became louder, Xiaoying suddenly stopped, and I turned around. Suddenly, a black shadow rushed When I came into sight, I only felt a pain in my chest, I staggered under my feet, and sat on the ground with a "plop", sitting on a sharp stone, and I screamed in pain.

Xiaoying has no time to pay attention to me at the moment, her eyes are fixed on the black shadow not far in front of me, when I get up to take a closer look, I see that the black shadow's eyes are bent, only the whites of the eyes are left in the eyes, and the nose seems to be gouged out It's like falling apart, with only a hole left, and maggots flow out from the mouth and nose from time to time, just looking at it makes people sick.

This black shadow is not like the ghosts and ghosts I saw in the past. Although it looks neither human nor ghostly, it can still be seen. As for the one in front of me...

"Shhhhhhh!"

The black shadow made a sound, and rushed towards Xiaoying with a stride, the speed was as fast as lightning, within the blink of an eye, he was already within half a step in front of Xiaoying.
