Huang Jue, after three marriages

Chapter 401 Underground Passage 4
It was a cave entrance that was less than two meters high. Weird-shaped vines grew all over the cave wall, covering half of the cave entrance. And enter.

Compared with the other big holes, it really doesn't look like a hole with a way out.

Zhao Hao looked at Xie Jue suspiciously, and then at the entrance of the cave.

Then a peculiarity was discovered.

Asking Zhao Shen to follow him with a torch, Zhao Hao walked to the entrance of the cave, and pulled back the vines around the cave.

Two white bones fell out of it.

Zhao Hao frowned slightly, and glanced in the direction he came from.

Remember, there are also two white bones at the entrance of the cave over there.

Is the surname Xie based on this judgment?
"You guys go to each cave, and you don't have to go far. You don't have to go far, and you will go back about tens of meters. Remember, you have to go back the same way." Xie Jue glanced at the bones that fell out, and said to his guard.

Zhao Hao's heart moved, he got up, and said to Zhao Shen: "Move these two bones to the side of the big hole over there."

Hearing his words, Xie Jue hummed at Zhao Hao.

"Isn't it right? Thank you, Third Master?" Zhao Hao asked calmly.

Xie Jue turned his head to the side, secretly hating.

This brat is quite smart!
"Why do you do this?" Su Yue asked innocently and puzzled.

"If someone chases them, there will be footprints in every hole, and they won't know where to go, and the bones guiding the way are placed in the wrong direction. Once those people are fooled, it will be a dead end." Xie Jue was just proud Raising his eyebrows, Ling Chuanye explained thoughtfully beside him.

Xie Jue raised his eyebrows immediately.

Su Yue quickly nudged Ling Chuanye and said, "It's so strange here, be careful when exploring the way."

"I'll be careful." Ling Chuanye smiled, looked at her feet and said, "I'll go find the way first, and if I get to a safe place, I'll carry you on my back."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Su Yue to reply, she turned around and walked towards the small hole.

They walked all the way, these Song people probably haven't noticed yet, the road has actually been a little sloping, and after walking so far, if calculated by height, it is at least [-] meters lower than the cave they came down from.

And these passages are not man-made, but naturally formed.

This kind of underground cave also exists in his father's hometown.

When he was young, his father's family hadn't been exterminated, and he still lived there with his father. He once drilled a hole for fun. If it weren't for his father's family, they would have practiced ninjutsu. They knew this kind of cave very well. Many people were dispatched to look for him, and he died in that cave.

And the hole here is probably higher in scale and complexity than those in his hometown.

If relying on these Song people to find the way, even if this bearded man is smart, he might not be able to find the way.

(Xie Jue: Who are you talking about with a big beard!)

"Third Master, you're so smart!" Although the light was dim, one didn't need to look at Su Yue to know Xie Jue's face, so she quickly approached him and said in a low voice.

"That is, who is the Lord." After Xie Jue hummed twice, his face darkened again, and he said to Tang Bing: "This place has entered the ground, and the road ahead may even go down. Be careful!"

Xie Jue's prediction was not wrong.

Entering from that hole is a narrow stone crevice that can only be passed sideways, and even Su Yue can feel that the road is going down.

After walking for two or three miles, the crack in the rock came to an end.

After coming out of the crack in the stone, there is a rectangular cave with a width of more than ten meters in front.

There are also five or six passages around the cave, and in one of the rubble piles, there are two shapeless white bones.

"You guys rest here, I'll go ahead and have a look first." Ling Chuanye squatted beside the pile of rubble and looked at it, and said to Zhao Hao.

Zhao Hao looked back at Su Yue and nodded.

"This bone has been phosphated and can be used as firewood." Ling Chuanye got up and kicked the bone, then tore some vines from the stone wall and said: "These things are not poisonous, the air circulation here is good, it doesn't matter if you burn some, Just be careful not to choke on the smoke yourself.”

Zhao Hao nodded again, looked at him and said, "Are you very familiar?"

There are actually plants growing underground, and the leaves have not fallen in this severe cold weather, but the person in front of him is not surprised at all.

Ling Chuanye smiled and said: "It can't be compared to the children of the general's family. People like us have to learn how to survive when we are young."

If his father's family hadn't been destroyed, he might have become a ninja now.

As a ninja, the first thing to learn is to survive in extremely harsh conditions...

It's a pity that the ninja practiced so desperately, worked so hard for his master, and was finally annihilated in the struggle between the lords.

It's no wonder that his father gave up his ninja status and racked his brains to become a samurai even if he was a thug and gave a heavy gift.

result……

Ling Chuanye didn't take the torch, but let out the North Underworld Dragon Snake, and crawled into the crevice in the rock.

Zhao Hao stood for a while, and said to Lao Liu, "Listen to him."

Old Liu said with hesitation on his face, "Can this burn?"

This is a human bone, right?
Why didn't he mention burning the human bones in the first two places?
"It should be possible." Zhao Hao said, subconsciously looking at Xie Jue.

Xie Jue was also looking at the human bone. Sensing his gaze, he turned his head and said, "It can be burned. This bone is different from the previous four. These two bones are older than the previous ones, so they have been phosphated. Um, have you ever seen will-o’-the-wisps before? Many people died on the battlefield, and after many years, there will be will-o’-the-wisps, which are not caused by ghosts, but phosphorized bones, which ignited the fire.”

Zhao Hao was silent for a while, and said to Lao Liu: "Did you hear that, hurry up, there are still these vines, get some of them down too, let everyone have a rest."

Although he didn't quite understand it, but he heard an old soldier say that some bones in ancient battlefields can be set on fire, but as a soldier, he has a heart of reverence for those who died in battle. It is possible to do that kind of blasphemy, at that time, it was just a joke.

At this time, there is no firewood, as long as this can really burn, it can also be warm.

Lao Liu called a few bold guards, set up those bones as if they were firewood, and used the torches that had been burnt down to only the handles to make a base.

Then polished the flint and steel.

Faint, blue flames emerged from those bones, drifting with the thin wind in this closed and dark cave.

I don't know where a gust of wind blew, and there was a whimper-like cry in the crevice of the stone.

Lao Liu's body trembled unconsciously.

Then, I heard two voices sounding at the same time due to serious injuries and serious lack of energy.

"Don't be afraid, Ah Yue!"

"Stinky boy, what do you want to do! Stay away from my Yue'er!"
