Zhao Tong knew that she was weird, so he ignored her. He went out and inquired from house to house. As expected, he found out that several women were not abducted, but were actually hidden traps outside. They were all knocked unconscious and tied up.
When everyone gathered, Zhu Xiaoyi said: "We can't go to the Wuyou Cave, so we have to rush up the same way, or go south to the boundary of the evil valley."
Zhao Tong looked at Liu Xiaoniang, who looked obediently with her head bowed. He turned around and said, "Ouyang Beiding's brothers are exploring the road ahead. Huang Gu is behind, so he can be more agile."
Everyone moved forward as they were told. Although this Ghost Tower looked spacious and crowded, it was not comparable to the strict and strict places in the army. Inside, there were murderers who were desperate and rogue, but there were also a few who followed the rules and regulations. It could be said that they were just a mob. There are too many, but they are just brave enough to take advantage of the location.
The gatekeepers of Huanxi Cave who were guarding the future were all either dozing off with their swords in their hands, or they were extremely drunk, lying on the ground with their bellies open, snoring like thunder.
Along the way, it took almost no effort to kill them all and drag them aside to hide them. However, there were several girls in the team. Even though they were strong-tempered and did not care about their own lives, they couldn't stand it after seeing these disciples die tragically. My legs are so weak that I can't move forward.
Zhao Tong was helpless about this, but it was Liu Xiaoniang who comforted these women with clever words. These women actually stabilized their minds. The one whose legs were too weak to walk was forced to walk, and the one who was so frightened that she was trembling with fear. Those who were faint also gained courage.
Zhao Tong was amazed and couldn't help but pay more attention. The group of people had walked no matter how far away. Suddenly Zhu Xiaoyi said: "Official, after passing the front, there is a ditch connecting the valley where the evil comes."
Zhao Tong nodded and said, "Do you have any explanation?"
Zhu Xiaoyi scratched his head: "It's just that they don't allow the people from Wuyou Cave and Huanxi Cave to pass through, so they can only leave as a family. But this kind of look is not from the people of Guifanlou. If they just say they are lost, they can always let them go."
Zhao Tong glanced at the group of girls behind him and said, "Is it so simple?"
Zhu Xiaoyi said: "If you meet those wearing dirty clothes, you can pass even if you bring many people with you. If you meet someone who is relatively clean, has shoes on your feet, and is fully clothed, it will be a little troublesome, but they only cost a few coins." thing."
Ouyang Bei went up and slapped him on the head: "Didn't you originally say that all the people in this Valley of Evil are coolies?"
Zhu Xiaoyi covered his head with his hands: "Grandpa, in this world, there are always a few people who don't work!"
Zhao Tong said: "You mean these people wearing clean clothes can still eat without working?"
Zhu Xiaoyi said: "That's it. These people who wear clean clothes probably have some ingenious means, or they can write letters and draw peach charms, so they can still live without going out to work."
Zhao Tong glanced at him, then walked forward, and suddenly found the entrance to a black hole on the ground not far away: "What is this place?"
Zhu Xiaoyi said hurriedly: "Officials, please stay away. That is the entrance to the acupuncture point of the underground city. Once you fall in, you will never come back up."
Zhao Tong said: "What do you mean by this?"
Zhu Xiaoyi said: "Officials must have heard rumors about Kaifeng City, cities on top of each other, and several cities buried underground. There is an underground city below, and it is said that there are other cities below!"
Zhao Tong thought for a while, and now there should be Bianzhou in the Tang Dynasty, Daliang in the Wei Dynasty, and Laoqiu in the Xia Dynasty buried under Tokyo at this time. They are indeed several cities.
Zhu Xiaoyi said again: "Guardian, you don't know, there are several underground entrances like this in Guifan Tower, and there are also over there in Wuyou Cave. I have seen people fall in, and there is not even a sound, let alone calling for help." ”
Ding Daxie, who was behind him, his eyes gleamed when he heard this and said, "Sir, let me go and take a look."
Zhao Tong said: "Go back quickly!"
Zhu Xiaoyi wondered: "This grandpa..."
Ouyang Bei slapped him on the head again: "Stop asking, how can you know?"
Zhu Xiaoyi cried and ran away with his head in his hands.
After a while, Ding Daxie returned and nodded to Zhao Tong. Zhao Tong did not ask, but just ordered to continue moving forward.
The ditch in front began to widen again, and there was a faint sound of water in the tank. It was obvious that the terrain of Tokyo was quite high in the north and low in the south.
A few steps into the channel, there was shouting from the front. Zhao Tong looked and saw two men in rags, each holding a wooden stick with a few nails randomly inserted into the head of the stick. , the right to make weapons.
Zhu Xiaoyi knew that the opportunity to show off was coming, so he took a step forward and said, "But is he the brother from the Valley of Evil?"
One of the two people answered: "Who are you?"
Zhu Xiaoyi bowed and said: "Two brothers, we are from the ground. We came down to Huanxi Cave to rescue the abducted family members. We just had a fight there, but we can't get out. I want to borrow a way to pass by here, please." It’s convenient for you two brothers.”
The two of them stared at it, but it was not as bright as the Huanxi Cave. Even though they lit cheap vegetable oil lamps, they could not see things clearly.
The two of them only took a general look and saw that there were many female relatives. They thought that they were spies for no reason. One of them, who was barefoot, said: "Those who killed a thousand people in Huanxi Cave have lost their conscience and done the most evil things in the world, but you are You are also brave enough to come down to look for someone, I will let you go, leave as soon as possible!"
Zhao Tong saw that this man was in tatters and even heard his stomach growling, so he couldn't help but sighed secretly and said, "Let's go."
A group of people passed through and continued to move forward along the channel. However, the road was not empty. There were often people living in the depressions. There were even three or five people together, covered with the same straw curtain. It was cold underground and they were shivering from the cold. Sui, he met another man holding a nail stick at night. Zhu Xiaoyi came forward and complained before letting him go.
Zhu Xiaoyi estimated the distance and said attentively: "My lord, every ditch must have an upward outlet for a certain distance. If you calculate that it is more than a hundred feet away, you will reach the mouth of the next open channel."
Zhao Tong said nothing, and after walking a little further, dozens of people suddenly appeared. In addition to sticks, these people also had swords, guns, and weapons. The leader's clothes were clean, and he even wore a pair of brand new shoes.
Zhao Tong frowned and looked at Zhu Xiaoyi. Zhu Xiaoyi looked ugly and said in a low voice: "Guardian, I didn't expect to meet Jingyi in real life. This Jingyi is actually a nine-bag man!"
Zhao Tong looked carefully and saw that the leader's clothes were covered with layers of colorful pudding. However, the clothes were not damaged, but nine layers were deliberately patched to make nine bags.
Zhu Xiaoyi said: "Officer, the nine bags of dirty clothes are carried on the back, and the clean clothes are just a few puddings in front."
After finishing speaking, he hurriedly stepped forward and repeated what he had said along the way.
But the leader, Jiupao Jingyi, ignored him and just said: "Spark the torch!"
With a "hoo!", the torch was lit, and the people sleeping in the dark on both sides sat up in shock, rubbing their eyes and wondering what was going on.
However, he saw that the leader, Jing Yi, was about middle age, with fair skin and a short mustache, looking over here with the help of a torch.
No one said anything, but they saw Jingyi scanning all the ladies and sneered: "Don't lie to me, he must be a spy sent by Huanxi Cave. Why don't we catch him as soon as possible!"
