Chapter 239 The Secret Passage in the Other Courtyard (3) First Update
Wu Chen walked in front holding a torch, followed by Li Heng and Xing Yun.
Wu Chen suddenly felt that this emperor was a bit interesting. That night, he was asked to take the female ghost and her ashes to the river. The number of people who went down the tunnel today happened to be enough for the various forked roads. Finally, There were only three of them left on this stretch.
Li Heng knows everything here.
Wu Chen wanted to go back and ask Li Heng, after knowing everything that happened on Laojie Mountain, did Li Heng think of Longgu Mountain? Even if Wu Chen failed to deduce that the eight apprentices had betrayed Su Chang and Su Chang was angry and told Longgu Mountain, would Li Heng also order someone to investigate Longgu Mountain?
Wu Chen was thinking in his mind, but his eyes did not stop observing the walls on both sides of the secret passage. From time to time, he would also look at his feet. Suddenly, he stopped.
It was very quiet in the tunnel. This kind of closed and dark environment could easily cause people to panic, especially when Wu Chen kept silent.
Wu Chen wanted to wait for Li Heng to ask, but after waiting for a while, Li Heng did not say anything, so Wu Chen had to say: "Has your Majesty noticed that we have walked for so long without feeling lack of oxygen? No, Suffocated, or not out of breath, but along the way, except for the fork in the road, I didn't see any holes for ventilation. "
Li Heng still didn't say anything.
Wu Chen turned his head while holding the torch. For a moment, Wu Chen was a little scared. He was afraid that when he turned around, Li Heng would turn into Li Gui.
Fortunately, the official family is still the official family.
Li Heng pointed to the top of his head and said: "It's not difficult to ventilate. You only look at the sides and feet, and you don't have time to look up."
Wu Chen nodded, but still didn't Moving, he held up the torch and looked carefully at the walls on both sides.
Li Heng asked in confusion: "Why did you stop here to check carefully?"
"Because I stopped and His Majesty did not ask questions."
Li Heng frowned.
Wu Chen didn't find anything. He continued to move forward holding the torch, and soon saw a wooden door.
Wu Chen turned his head and motioned for Xing Yun and Li Heng to step back. Then he pressed the wooden door with one hand and pushed hard. The wooden door collapsed suddenly, dust came to his face, and even the torch in his hand was swaying, like It will go out at any time.
Wu Chen alertly stretched out his hand to protect the torch. When the dust settled a little, he said: "Your Majesty, wait here, I will go in and take a look first..."
Wu Chen's words Before he finished speaking, Li Heng walked up to him and said, "Let's go and take a look together."
Wu Chen walked quickly to the front, holding a torch and looking around. The cave was not big, but he could hear the sound of the wind and feel the cold wind blowing on his face. Wu Chen raised his head and looked at the top of the cave, and then took a breath of cold air. Angry, he asked: "Can't you get down? Or are you floating up there on purpose?"
Xing Yun immediately protected Li Heng.
Li Heng looked up and asked: "Are there ghosts?"
Wu Chen still looked up at the top of the cave. There were more than a dozen ghosts floating there, and there was a place on the top of the mountain covered with vines. The same green plants.
“You, can you see us?”
"Not only can I see you, but I can also save you. Are you obsessed with leaving or are you being imprisoned here by Yuan Tianshi using formations? Are there only a dozen of you?"
A dozen or so The ghosts rushed to speak, and Wu Chen quickly understood.
These people are both men and women. They were all servants in other courtyards. Some of them died with injustice and refused to leave. Some of them were people who were worried about them after their death and did not have time to leave. When they left, they were all imprisoned by Yuan Shuchun using spells and formations. In addition, there were originally more people. A few days ago, many people suddenly came to the cave. The formation became a little loose, and some ghosts broke away from the formation and left. Before more than a dozen of them could leave, Yuan Shuchun came and repaired it again. Without the formation, they could not escape.
“How many days have those people stayed here?” Wu Chen asked.
“I stayed for a few days. At first, I stayed in this cave. A few people had a fight. Later... there was a secret door on the wall. They entered there, and we could hear them. The sound was really noisy for several days, and then several groups of people came in and out.”
Wu Chen glanced at Li Heng and asked: "Have you ever seen a female ghost that can float freely?"
"I have never seen it. If there is one, it will be brought here by Yuan Tianshi."< br>
Wu Chen muttered: "This place has already left the other courtyard, she can't get out." After saying that, Wu Chen began to look at the wall. , asked: "Is the secret door in this direction?"
"You just said you would save us. If we told you and you left, who would save us?"
" Didn't you say that there were several groups of people coming in and out before? I can come back to save you after I go out." Wu Chen raised his head and said.
"You went out, how do we know you will come back? Those people coming in and out are not the people brought by Yuan Tianshi."
Wu Chen looked at Li Heng again and said:
"Don't worry, since I said I would save you, I will definitely save you. I don't know Yuan Tianshi's magic formations. , the only way to save you is to destroy the mountains around you. In that case, Yuan Tianshi's formation will be useless, and you can leave as soon as possible. However, if we destroy the cave, we cannot protect ourselves, so..." Wu Chen As he said something, he suddenly jumped into the air. Those floating in the air and those standing on the ground were shocked.
Wu Chen did not want to see clearly the makeup of the ghosts. He held up the torch and looked at the nearby mountain first, then stepped on the mountain and rushed to the other side. Using the light of the torch, he took a closer look. After looking at it, it landed.
"How many secret doors are there in this cave?" Wu Chen handed the torch to Xing Yun and raised his head to ask.
The ghosts made no sound.
Wu Chen rolled up his sleeves and said:
“I can break the formation now, but the prerequisite is that you can tell how many secret doors there are in and outside the cave. No need to pretend to be stupid. , you have been here for so long, and although you cannot move around at will, your ears are still there, and people come and go. Yes, what you have heard is indispensable. If you don’t tell us, we are just wasting time searching, but we will find it sooner or later. But if I don’t save you, you may never have a chance to leave. I forgot to tell you that Yuan Tianshi has been arrested. Kyoto.”
The ghosts were restless.
Xing Yun had already found a secret door at this time. He turned around and asked Wu Chen, "Can I just push it open hard?"
A ghost said hurriedly: "There are three secret doors, which can only be opened by using force at the same time. It is impossible to push one secret door alone."
Wu Chen repeated the ghost's words, and Xing Yun tried I tried it, but I really couldn't push it away.
Wu Chen looked at Li Heng who was standing in the cave with his hands behind his back, bowed and asked: "Your Majesty, do you have anything else to ask them? If not, I will send them away."
Li Heng frowned and asked: "There are still two secret doors. Have you asked clearly? Are you going to destroy the cave now?"
Wu Chen said hurriedly:
"No, I just went up to take a look. There are some spells with characters that I can't understand carved on the mountain. I just need to destroy the spells and borrow Xing Yun's sword to use it."
< br>Li Heng nodded and looked at Xing Yun. Xing Yun subconsciously held down the hilt of the sword without moving. (End of this chapter)
