"So, you are from the Five Sects!" A look of disbelief flashed in Ah Cheng's eyes.
The Wudao Sect was wiped out as early as the Ming Dynasty. The last sect leader stole the imperial mausoleum of the current dynasty, and the emperor issued a death order to kill the Nine Clan!
An army of nearly 10,000 people surrounded and suppressed five gates. The gate owner Li Can and a group of gatekeepers were killed by ruthless arrows, and were finally cut into pieces by five horses. They did not end well.
The officers and soldiers set fire to the top of Wudaomen Mountain. The fire burned fiercely for three days and three nights, and the land was scorched.
Why is there another person from the Five Doors Sect coming out today?
Listening to Ah Cheng's question, Shan Gui's eyes twitched and he was secretly shocked: "There are not many people who know the five sects nowadays. This Ah Cheng can actually distinguish the moves of the five sects. He is not an ordinary person."
Without changing his expression, Shangui laughed and said: "What five gates, what divine ears detecting the wind, what a bunch of bullshit! I am born with good ears, not even a fly can escape from my ears within a hundred meters!"
"It seems that I have overthought it. Brother Shangui, you are also a god!" Ah Cheng said politely, and everyone stopped talking to him.
The secret passage was dark and damp. Shan Gui and Uncle Long were walking at the front of the team. Seeing that Ah Cheng behind him was not paying attention, Shan Gui covered his mouth and whispered: "Master Long, this Ah Cheng is not an ordinary person. He knows so many things. Our position should not be low among them, should we..."
The mountain ghost made a gesture of wiping his neck, and a cruel look flashed in his eyes.
"Hmph, what can we do if we kill him?" Uncle Long snorted coldly: "Since he can see it, let alone Yan. The ancestors of the Chen family sacrificed so much to get the five gates. Even if they turn the earth upside down, they won’t be able to find the cultivation method!”
Shangui glanced at Ah Cheng with some reluctance: "This person is quite good, but it's a pity that he is an enemy rather than a friend!"
The feet suddenly became soft, the ground became a little muddy, and several people were stagnant in the darkness.
"There is mud on the ground and there may be water in front, so be careful."
Chen Tao followed Uncle Long and looked around vigorously. I don't know if it's because the secret passage is too dark, or if there's something wrong with my eyes. I always feel that my eyes are a little blurry, as if there's a layer of gauze covering them, and it's very difficult to see anything.
Water gradually appeared on the ground, but it was not high and only reached the trousers. Stepping into the stagnant water, it was cold to the bone and made people feel very uncomfortable.
After walking a few steps, something suddenly rubbed against my feet. I just felt a whoosh and something was obviously swimming across my feet at a very fast speed!
Chen Tao was shocked, "There is something in the water!"
Everyone is on high alert. Now that they have run out of ammunition and food, and are wounded, once they are attacked by something, they will have no choice but to fight tooth and nail.
The two remaining flashlights were all turned on and they quickly scanned the secret passage. Everyone speeded up and took out their weapons to defend themselves.
squeak squeak...
A shrill scream came from the darkness. Yang Lixuan plunged his short spear into the water and picked out a black mouse as big as a kitten.
"No, there are soul-destroying rats in the water, hurry up!"
"What? Soul-catching rat!" Chen Tao's head felt numb when he heard those three words.
Soul-catching rat!
Ah Cheng gritted his teeth and his hands covering the wound trembled, "Damn, it's these damn rats again!"
He pulled out the dagger like crazy, and regardless of the pain on his body, he stabbed and slashed in the water, shouting: "Come on! Come out!"
"Fuck! So many!"
The screams of the dead rats attracted more soul-destroying rats. No less than a hundred of them emerged densely from the cracks in the wall and from the water, and quickly surrounded a few people.
Strangely, they didn't attack.
Several larger soul-destroying rats climbed onto the raised gravel beside the wall, their hind limbs raised upright, their two thieving eyes swiveled around a few times, and they raised their noses and kept sniffing.
Squeak, squeak, squeak...
Suddenly a soul-destroying rat screamed, and then there was a chaos among the rats. The soul-destroying rats ran around like headless flies, ignoring the few people in the secret passage.
"Fuck you!"
Ah Cheng stabbed one to death with his dagger and threw it into the water.
As if stimulated by the blood, the rats became even more chaotic, squeaking and screaming, and dispersed instantly as if they had seen a ghost, leaving everyone in shock.
"It... they... ran away?" Haozi's mouth was open for a long time, but he didn't say a few words for a long time.
The soul-destroying rat that was once bloodthirsty and unafraid of death just ran away like this?
"Things are a little weird. I'm afraid it's not a good sign. We shouldn't stay here for a long time. Let's leave quickly!"
A few people walked along the secret passage for who knows how long, twisting and turning underground, and finally saw a glimmer of light ahead.
"It's the exit!" Several people were overjoyed.
"Exit? Where is it?" Chen Tao felt that his eyes were blurry at this time, and he couldn't see anything clearly in the pitch black.
"There is light ahead, it should be there."
"Why can't I see it?"
can not see......
Uncle Long was startled, and quickly turned around to look into Chen Tao's eyes with a flashlight. He was stunned.
A large spot of light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, which stung Chen Tao's eyes. He subconsciously blocked it with his hands, but Uncle Long still saw it.
At this time, his eyes seemed to have severe cataracts, and his eyeballs were covered with a layer of white.
"Taotao! Taotao!" Uncle Long waved his hand anxiously in front of Chen Tao's eyes, but Chen Tao had no reaction.
The thing that worried him the most happened!
"Uncle...can I lose my sight..." Chen Tao couldn't believe it, his voice was trembling.
At this moment, a memory that had been sealed for more than ten years came to his mind again. Anxiety, fear, and the fear that he had almost forgotten swept over him again.
That memory he chose to forget.
Many years ago, the life of a little boy who was only a few years old completely lost its brightness. That dim childhood was something that Chen Tao did not want to touch again in his life.
But now... God seems to have played a big joke on him.
He received a bronze man inexplicably, he was followed inexplicably, he received a letter from the past inexplicably, he was inexplicably involved in a journey that he didn't even know what it was, and now, he is inexplicably blind. It's exactly the same as that scene back then.
I'll fuck you!
Chen Tao held his head and grasped his hair with both hands.
"Don't be afraid, we'll go out now. There's still hope! Close your eyes and follow me!" Uncle Long took Chen Tao's hand. From the moment he saw Chen Tao's eyes from the cliff, he knew it would happen. What happened, I just didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
The light in front is getting brighter and brighter, and a wisp of hot wind blows in from the outside, carrying a unique smell of mud and grass, gently caressing everyone's face.
Finally...it's out!
The breeze blew through every pore of the body, breathing the fresh air that had not been seen for a long time. Everyone seemed to have undergone a baptism. Everyone breathes greedily and enjoys the gifts from nature.
Haozi took a deep breath and sat down on the ground. Shangui fumbled in his pocket for a long time, took out a few crumpled cigarettes and gave them to Uncle Long and others. He looked back at Ah Cheng and said, I smiled in my heart and gave him one too.
Survive nine deaths and reunite after disaster.
At this moment, there are no enemies.
After reaching out and trying to wave it in front of his eyes for a few times, Chen Tao finally accepted this reality again.
Damn it, I'm blind again...
He is not a pessimistic person. Now that something has happened and it is irreversible, why bother worrying about it anymore.
Although his eyes could barely see the surrounding scenery, the blurry brightness in front of him still dispersed all the haze in his heart. At least at this moment, he could finally breathe a deep sigh of relief and no longer had to worry about whether there would be vine branches suddenly entangled. Hold your hands and feet, might a bug suddenly get into your ear, might you accidentally be controlled by the soul-destroying rat and lose your mind?
At least now, he can finally feel that he is still alive, and even if he becomes blind in the future, he will not be unable to survive.
ah.......
With a loud roar, all the suppression in his heart for several days was released, causing the flying insects and beasts around him to scurry around in shock.
What to do next?
Chen Tao's brain calmed down again. The sound of wind, water, and chirping insects and birds came to his ears again. At least he still had ears.
Some people say that when God closes a window, he will open another door for you. After losing his sight, his hearing seemed to become sharper than before.
He could clearly hear a familiar whistling sound amid the dancing insects and flying birds, the gentle wind and the bright sun.
"No! Get out of the way!"
