"I'm your eighth generation ancestor!! How dare you plot against me!! The grass on the graves of those who dare to plot against me will be as tall as a person. I will kill you!!" Wang Xian covered his head and cursed angrily. He was He planned a sneak attack, and although he managed to avoid most of the huge sharp rocks with his dexterity, his face and head were still hurt by the tiny gravel flying up.
As soon as he finished speaking, before the thick dust had dissipated, there was a muffled sound in the cave, and the ground shook violently.
Wang Xian groaned and fell heavily to the ground. He happened to be sitting on a sharp stone. He screamed again and bounced up.
Deafening rumbles filled the entire cave, the ground shook even more violently, and gravel and dust continued to fall from the top of the cave.
Before Wang Xian could stand upright, he stumbled down and sat down in a low voice. He turned around and asked Han Changmu in horror: "Master Secretary, this, this, this mine is not going to collapse, right?"
Han Changmu clawed hard at the gap in the stone wall before he stood firm. Intermittent sounds came from the roar, which sounded very laborious: "No, the mine is collapsing, it's the ground subsidence! Wang Xian, hurry up, climb up quickly Go to the stone wall."
As he spoke, he climbed up the stone wall with more and more force while shaking more and more violently, lifting his entire body off the ground.
Just when his body was suspended in the air, there was a burst of flying sand and rocks, and the ground where he was standing suddenly sank downwards, revealing a huge hole, so dark and bottomless.
At the same time, a miserable scream rang out from the rubble and dust in the sky, followed by a muffled sound of a heavy object falling to the ground. Wang Xian cried out in pain: "Ouch, you fell to death."
And from the depths of the dust, Li Sheng's triumphant laughter came: "Master Secretary, Master Han, let's go our separate ways."
As the wild laughter gradually faded away, the whistling sound gradually disappeared, and the cave gradually became quiet. It no longer shook violently and no more rocks fell.
The dust swirled away, revealing a cave that had changed beyond recognition.
"Wang Xian, Wang Xian, how are you? Are you injured?" Han Changmu didn't have time to carefully check what changes had happened in the cave, so he lay down on the edge of the pit and called Wang Xian anxiously.
"Si, Sir, I'm humble, humble, it's okay, oh, humble, I'm just holding my butt, it's okay." Wang Xian hummed, and he kept humming.
Han Changmu felt relieved and moved the light above the deep pit. He saw that the pit was more than ten feet deep. Although it was a little deeper, Wang Xian also had enough skills to not be unable to climb up. He raised his eyes and looked He looked around and thought: "You climb up first, and I'll see if I can get through in front."
"Hey, hey, I got it." Wang Xian responded and twisted his waist with difficulty. He only heard a few slight clicks from his joints. He grinned in pain and looked at the dark roof of the pit, feeling that he was crawling. Going up is more difficult than taking the Shu Road.
His waist was slightly injured and his feet were twisted. There was no need to think about using light weight to fly out. Climbing out from the wall of the pit seemed a bit difficult. He looked down and saw that there was nothing piled up in the deep pit. There should be less rocks, use rocks to raise the ground, and you should be able to climb out.
This huge pit lay in the middle of the corridor. The widest part was two feet long. Han Changmu stood on the edge of the pit and looked into the depths of the cave. Li Sheng and Li Sheng had already disappeared.
Han Changmu jumped sideways and tapped his toes on the stone wall a few times. The hem of his clothes stirred up a gust of wind, and the dust that had just been quiet stirred up again. He crossed the deep pit and ducked into the section of the corridor ahead.
A stone wall appeared out of thin air on the previously empty corridor, and the only remaining road was cut off, making it completely impassable.
Han Changmu stretched out his hand and pushed the stone wall. The stone wall did not move at all. He raised the light in front of the stone wall and saw that the light did not move at all. His face sank. Not even a ray of wind could blow over it. This stone wall was obviously different from the stone wall. The inlays are so tight and so thick that it is impossible to break through this stone wall with human power alone.
He retreated to the pit and saw that Wang Xian was still placing stones at the bottom of the pit. He raised his eyebrows and asked in a loud voice, "Wang Xian, can you see if there is a road in the pit?"
"What?" Wang Xian hesitated, thinking he heard wrongly.
"Do you see a road in the pit?" Han Changmu sighed and asked again.
Wang Xian confirmed that he had heard correctly, muttered and searched around the cave, frowned and said loudly: "Sir, this deep pit was dug manually, and it was a trap deliberately set by that bastard. , how can there be a road?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a weak light fell on the top of the pit again, illuminating the pit which was half bright and half dark. Wang Xian happened to be standing where the light fell, his clothes stained with dust hanging down silently, undetectable. One after another.
The lights were immediately removed, and there was silence for a moment on the top of the pit. No voice from Han Changmu was heard. Wang Xian thought he had gone far, so he continued to pile stones.
Unexpectedly, he had just lifted a stone and was about to land it on the pile of stones. Suddenly, a dark shadow floated down from the top of the pit and landed lightly in the pit. There was a very slight "thud" sound.
Wang Xian was startled, and the stone in his hand fell to the ground with a clang. He turned around and saw that it was Han Changmu. He breathed a long sigh of relief and said awkwardly: "Master Shishi, you are so scared that you are humble. What are you doing here?" , I’m ready to go up now.”
Han Changmu shook his head and looked around, thinking: "There is no way up there. It is blocked by a stone wall. We can only exit or find another way in."
Wang Xian groaned and his face changed: "Sir, how can you be sure that there is a road in this pit?"
Han Changmu squinted at the wall of a pit: "I'm not sure."
Wang Xian groaned again and smiled bitterly.
Han Changmu raised the lamp and held his breath while approaching the wall of the pit.
I saw the flickering light swaying weakly, a thin wisp of smoke rising from the flame, swirling and dissipating, and the flame became darker.
At this time, even Wang Xian noticed something unusual. He pointed at the stone wall and exclaimed in surprise: "Sir, there is wind."
Han Changmu nodded: "There will definitely be a better road ahead."
Wang Xian looked at the wall of the pit and sighed: "But such a thick wall, although most of it is made of soil, there are still stones embedded in it. How can we open it?" He paused slightly and asked, "Will the cave collapse if it is opened? ?”
Han Changmu pursed his lips and said nothing, but held up the lamp with one hand and slowly rubbed the wall of the pit with the other, as if he was looking for something.
After a while, he suddenly patted the wall of a pit and said to Wang Xian: "Find two sharper and larger stones."
Wang Xian exclaimed suspiciously, rummaged through the pile of stones, and found two rocks that came to him.
Han Changmu took out the dagger from his boot and poked the wall of the pit he had just slapped several times.
The yellow soil is moist, but after poking off the wet layer, the exposed soil layer is a little white and looks dry. When you poke hard with the tip of the sword, it falls off piece by piece. .
Wang Xian looked happy and hurriedly handed another stone to Han Changmu. The two of them smashed the pit wall together with force.
The muffled "dong dong" sound echoed in the deep pit, and the loneliness brought with it some twists and turns of life.
At the same time, Li Sheng, who had already walked far away, felt his heart skip a beat. He suddenly turned back and took a deep look at the corridor blocked by the stone wall.
"Holy Envoy, what's wrong?" Du Fenghu asked.
"Nothing." Li Sheng shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly. Such a thick stone wall could not be defeated in a short time even with the hard skills of horizontal training. What's more, he saw that Han Changmu was not a horizontal practitioner. The hard skills should not be so hard.
He took a shallow breath, not knowing whether he was right or wrong in making such a decision. He still had a glimmer of hope and thoughts, and he still didn't want to cut off Xie Liangzhan's path, and he even hoped that Xie Liangzhan's path would not be too far. The more crooked it is.
With the unremitting efforts of Han Changmu and Wang Xian, the clods of soil fell down, and the ground was already piled with debris.
Wang Xian wiped a handful of sweat beads, and the dirt on his hands smeared on his face, black and white. He raised his eyes and looked at the sweat beads on Han Changmu's forehead, and then he hit the wall harder.
He was so tired that he was out of breath and spoke intermittently: "Sir, sir, it's about to break."
Han Changmu nodded.
There was only a "crash" sound, and less than half of the pit wall collapsed, revealing a hole that could only allow one person to enter and exit. Outside the hole, there was another dark corridor.
A stream of air mixed with the smell of earth and the dampness of mold and decay poured into the deep pit.
Wang Xian covered his nose and took two steps back: "What is so smelly?"
Han Changmu didn't change his expression. He held up a lamp to shine at the entrance of the cave and said calmly, "You'll know after you go in and take a look."
Only then did Wang Xian realize that he had lost his composure. He hurriedly came over and poked his head into the hole: "Sir, please smash it again. This hole is still a bit small."
Han Changmu nodded.
For a moment, all that could be heard in the heart of the mountain was the sound of walls being smashed one after another. The sound was particularly powerful.
When Han Changmu and Wang Xian climbed out of the pothole in disgrace, their clothes were covered with dirt and dust, and the color was so gray that they could no longer distinguish their color.
The two of them stood in the deep corridor and took a deep breath as if they were reborn.
"Sir, are we out now?" Wang Xian asked.
Han Changmu squinted his eyes and shook the lamp in his hand twice. The weak flame was quite overwhelmed and almost extinguished: "It may not be possible. Maybe it will be a dead end at the end."
Wang Xian was dumbfounded and opened his mouth, showing an expression that looked like he was about to cry without tears.
After a moment of silence, Han Changmu patted Wang Xian hard on the shoulder and said easily: "You won't know until you walk over whether you are alive or dead."
