"Why sleep for a while? What do you mean? Now, my father and elder brother must be worried about us. We should escape immediately and let them feel at ease. How can we delay here." Xue Yuran was annoyed and anxious.
"Miss, I know you are anxious. But let me ask you, what time is it now?" Luo Fan lay down comfortably and asked with his head on the back of his head.
"It's barely an hour after dark, what's wrong?" Xue Yuran was full of questions.
"Yes. It has just been dark for an hour. Do you know where this underground secret passage leads? It probably leads to the back of Tiandu Mountain. It is dark now. How can I take you, a weak woman, on the mountain road at night? Besides, Tiandu Mountain is the hinterland of the Divine Leg Gate. There are many traps on the mountain and there are hidden sentries everywhere. If we go out, there is no guarantee that we will not touch the traps, and we are more likely to be treated as spies and killed. Therefore, it is best to rest until we can see the road clearly. It’s time to leave.”
"Anyway, you are always right. You hold half of the truth in the world, and no one can tell you anything!" Xue Yuran said angrily.
"Yes, half of it is in my mouth, and the other half is in your breath. I'm just a little more rational than you. Huh! Huh!" At this point, Luofan began to snore.
"He really fell asleep! Alas, except for the world under the well, where else can he sleep peacefully?" Xue Yuran sighed, sat aside, took out a book from his arms, and started reading alone. If you don't say that she is a talented woman, wherever she goes, there are always a lot of words on her body.
Xue Yuran waited for two hours. Luofan was still sleeping soundly, so she pushed him to wake up.
Luo Fan yawned and said: "I haven't slept so well for a long time. I was chased by Feng Laijiang some time ago. I haven't rested for five days and five nights, and my body can't bear it anymore. It seems that within a few months, I won't be able to recover well. Now. What time is it?"
"It's time to be ugly. Can you leave now?"
"Let's go. But let's take a few more looks. The underground scenery is so beautiful. You won't be able to see it after you leave." Luofan joked again.
"It's just a pile of fire rocks, what's there to see?"
"What if you don't have a sense of humor? You're as prudish and not funny as that Sima Yuliang."
The two left the magma lake and walked another hundred feet into the tunnel. When they reached the bottom, a pool of water suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking the way.
"It's blocked by water. Could it be that the exit is also blocked?" Xue Yuran's face wrinkled when he saw the water pool, and he became a little disappointed and anxious.
"Don't be in a hurry. If there is no way, maybe there is a way. If the exit of this underground passage is an ordinary cave, then I would be surprised. After all, the mechanism inside is so sophisticated, how could it be made too simple at the exit."
"You mean the exit is under the water? This is a clever arrangement."
"Well, the response is pretty quick. Talking to smart people is simple. Then I'll go down and explore the path first to see if there are any man-eating monsters living under the water!"
Luofan took off his clothes and prepared to get into the water. Before leaving, he smiled and said: "By the way, if I can't get in, just wait here. In fifteen days, Li Benxin and the others will probably send someone to find you. Of course, You have to be able to withstand hunger for fifteen days. But you are a disciple of Buddhism, so if you drink some water and fast for fifteen days, you should not die of hunger."
"Go ahead! You're already here, and you still want to make such a ridiculous joke." Xue Yuran frowned.
"It's a joke, but it's also true. Let's go!"
After saying that, Luofan plunged into the pool with a sudden force!
On the shore, Xue Yuran stood waiting anxiously. After not seeing Luofan come up for a long time, he also became anxious.
Just when she thought Luo Fan might not be able to come back after something happened, she saw the water surface rolling and Luo Fan swam back.
"Why have you been in the water for so long? I thought something happened to you!" Xue Yuran complained immediately when she saw Luo Fan.
"You think I am you. We are masters of internal martial arts. It is not impossible to hold a stick of incense underwater for a while. There is indeed a passage under the water, but it was blocked. It took me a lot of effort to open it. Clean it up. The passage is connected to a pool outside. All you need to do is swim there. Come on, I'll take you away."
"But I can't swim!" Xue Yuran said awkwardly.
"Ah! Can't swim? Hey, it's not surprising. How could a wealthy lady like you go to the river to learn to swim? It seems that Mr. Xue really raised you as a treasure." Luo Fan laughed.
Xue Yuran was annoyed after hearing this and said: "Don't always ridicule others. Everyone is born in a different environment and naturally grows up differently. You grew up in the world, so you naturally have many tough qualities. But those of us who grew up in a big family did not grow up in the same way. It's not a choice. You are very smart and excellent, but this kind of intelligence and excellence will hurt others. Even if you are beautiful in the forest, it will be destroyed by the wind. The smarter and outstanding a person is, the more he should keep a low profile, so as to preserve himself."
"I was wrong. I just won't laugh at you anymore. It's a common practice in the world, so please forgive me. Then I'd better go into the water with you on my back. Just close your eyes for a while, steady your heartbeat, and hold your breath for a while."
After Luofan put on his clothes, he carried Xue Yuran on his back again, and then went downstream towards the pool.
Swimming deep into the water, Xue Yuran was lying on Luo Fan's back, walking through the narrow underwater passage. Suddenly feeling someone pull on his back, Xue Yuran was so frightened that he hurriedly opened his eyes. Under the moonlight, when I looked back, my eyes widened and I broke out in cold sweat!
After seeing the passage, it was completely covered with bones. And Luofan just said that the passage was blocked. It turned out that it was these bones that blocked the passage! At the front of the passage, there was a huge boulder, which was obviously pushed away by Luo Fan. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, only a bold and careful person like Luofan could find the exit. If they were people like Sima Yuliang and Li Benxin, they would have been frightened away by seeing the corpses on the ground. There was no way they could dig out the corpses.
Not long after he swam out of the water, Luo Fan carried Xue Yuran on his back and swam all the way to the shore.
When I got to the shore, I discovered that it was a pool under a cliff. It was surrounded by woods and quiet, and there was no difference at all. Just as Xue Yuran was about to ask questions, Luofan reminded him: "Shh! Keep your voice down. There are many spies from the Shen Leg Sect hidden in the mountains behind Tiandu. Don't make any noise."
The two came to a low bush and hid, and Xue Yuran lowered her voice and asked, "Why are there so many bones under the water? What on earth is this place?"
"You saw it, I told you not to open your eyes. There are no identification items on these dead people. I think they are related to the people who stole Li Benxin's golden dragon spinning gold rope. It's hard to talk about this royal matter. Hey, are you there? Wait here for a while. I’m going to bring that madman out too.”
"Then be careful."
Luo Fan dived back into the water, and after a while, he carried the madman back to the pool.
"It's almost dawn, let's go. I took a look. As long as we walk three miles south on the mountain road, we should be able to see the people from the Shenjimen. Let them pick us up and send us down the mountain. We can also tell my father in advance that they News, this is better." Xue Yuran said.
"No! We have to go north. You don't know the dangers of the Divine Leg Gate. If you go south for three miles from here, you will get close to the Golden Light Forest of the Divine Leg Gate. That is the forbidden area of the Divine Leg Gate. Anyone who approaches will definitely die. This The area nearby is the most closely protected area of the Divine Leg Gate. Let's go north and take a detour back to Dragon City." Luo Fan.
"You're not lying to me again, are you? Why are you calling the Forbidden Area and the Divine Leg Gate so scary? Or do you want to leave with the lunatic, for fear of being discovered by Li Benxin? I know what you have in mind, don't you Do you just want to take Yu Wenkui away and dig out Li Yilong's secret?" Xue Yuran rolled her eyes and hummed.
Luo Fan smiled: "Oh, how could you miss me so much? I am so petty. However, you are probably right. However, this madman cannot be left to Li Benxin. Do you think this madman is Yu Wenkui? If Yu Wenlan's younger brother is kidnapped by Li Benxin, Yu Wenzhao will definitely recognize that he is his third uncle. By then, Li Yilong's secret will no longer be able to be kept. There may be something big going on. I'll take him away. , I can control the situation at least. Also, this Jin Guanglin is indeed dangerous. Anyway, you basically know all my secrets, so I will tell you."
So, Luofan also told Xue Yuran about the golden cicada of the Divine Leg Sect.
"Jin Chan! I seem to have seen it in a book. It turns out it's true." Xue Yuran said in shock.
"Ah!? Such a big secret, is it all written in that miscellaneous book of yours? What kind of heavenly book is that of yours? I asked Wu Jiuzhen where, I didn't expect you to know! Where did you buy that miscellaneous book? Yeah, can I buy one too?" Luo Fan asked in surprise.
"It was given to me when I was playing in the bamboo forest when I was a child. I met an old Taoist priest who was asking for water. I can't remember the face of that old Taoist priest. He gave me this book and said he was thanking me for giving him a drink. A bowl of water to drink. In addition to recording the history of the founding of the Tiandu Dynasty, the book only contained a few pages of Huangji astrology and arithmetic. I only read it briefly and threw the book away. Because it is better to change your destiny than to know it. What kind of fortune telling is necessary?”
"Ah! You threw away such a precious book? You are really wasting it. Maybe this old Taoist is a living god. He thought that you would follow the secret path with me, and he thought that you would need this book in the future, so he gave it to you. Where's yours! What a pity for you."
"Hey, didn't I say that it's better to change your destiny than to know it? As long as we don't do bad things and do more good deeds, our destiny will naturally be good. What's the point? Besides, if he is really such a god, he will know what will happen more than ten years later. , naturally he expected that I would throw away his books!" Xue Yuran.
"That's true. But you are really extraordinary. A veteran has given you books, but no one has given them to me. Let's not talk anymore and leave as soon as it's still dark."
