Watching the man in black quickly get into the dense forest nearby, I breathed a sigh of relief.
I shouted into the passage below.
"Wang Wangyang, Cui Hao, how are you two?"
My voice echoed in the passage, and a response quickly came from below.
"Don't worry, we have rescued the guy in white clothes, come here."
While he was talking, there were already waves of footsteps coming from the passage.
I relaxed and sat on the ground, tightening the rope and waiting for a few people to come up.
There was a cold wind blowing around me, and I looked in the direction of the dense forest.
The man in black just now disappeared into the forest without a trace.
I withdrew my gaze and stared at the dark hole again.
This time it failed again.
I turned my attention to the Jingmen position. It seemed that I had to start from the Jingmen this time.
However, this Jingmen is a moderately rated Jimen in the gossip, and if our previous speculations about Qinglong White Tiger and Suzaku Xuanwu are true.
Jingmen corresponds to South, and South belongs to Suzaku.
That means that if we go down this time, we will face Suzaku.
I couldn't help but take a breath.
The previous underwater Qinglong Cave and White Tiger Hot Spring Pool were extremely dangerous.
If it weren't for our good luck and some ability, we would be able to survive.
Maybe Cui Hao and I would have died underground, especially the White Tiger Hot Spring, which is even more weird and unpredictable.
At that time, our souls were even forced out.
So even if it's Jimen, I'm not sure if it's safe behind the Suzaku Gate.
While I was thinking, the rope was suddenly turned downwards, and my grip was unstable and I almost fell down.
I immediately grabbed the rope and quickly helped pull the person up.
After a while, a man climbed up from below with a look of disgrace.
"Why do you look exactly like the guy in black just now?"
The faces of these two people are almost identical, even the edges and corners of their mouths are exactly the same.
The man in white quickly waved to me and explained.
"No, no, no, I am different from my brother. I have to apologize to you on my brother's behalf. Did my brother attack you just now?"
I took a breath and nodded.
Only then did I connect this person with the guy who climbed out from below.
"You two are twins?"
The man in white nodded to me.
"Yes, my brother's name is Zhang Ji, and my name is Zhang Xu. We are twins, so we look very much alike. Even this mole is exactly the same."
After saying that, Zhang Xu stepped forward and grabbed the rope with me.
"I'll explain to you later. Let's drag Cui Hao up from below first."
I nodded and glanced down.
At this time, Wang Wangyang had already tied the rope around Cui Hao's waist and shouted to us.
"You can pull the rope, pull the person up as soon as possible, let's do it!"
I nodded and followed Zhang Xu, quickly pulling the rope up.
Cui Hao was successfully dragged up by us.
I hurriedly walked to the edge of the hole and helped Cui Hao untie the rope from his body.
"How are you doing?"
Cui Hao was breathing heavily, with fear in his eyes.
"It's okay, it's nothing serious."
After speaking, he patted the dirt on his body and fell helplessly to the ground.
"My butt hurts. I'd better lie down first while you get Wang Wangyang up."
I put the rope back on.
The rope was entangled in Zhenhun's gaze, and Wang Wangyang could climb up by himself.
I squatted next to Cui Hao and helped him check the wounds on his body.
Cui Hao grinned in pain and kept moaning.
I took out the medicinal powder, changed the bandages on his body again, applied the medicinal powder and put on new clothes for him.
"Cui Hao, please bear with me."
He nodded at me and sighed.
"I thought Zhongpingmen should be relatively safe, but I didn't expect it to be so dangerous."
After saying that, Cui Hao looked at me curiously.
"Master Xiao Man, what are you going to do next?"
I pointed to the direction of Jingmen.
"Of course I'm going down. You also know my purpose. I have to go inside and find the shroud."
After saying that, I turned around and saw the two of them.
"Wang Wangyang, if you just come to me for help, you can come to me again after I go out. Since you helped us this time, I will definitely repay your kindness."
After saying that, I turned around and looked at Zhang Xu.
"As for you, you can make up your own mind. Anyway, your brother has run away. I don't care whether you are good or bad. I just hope you don't cause trouble for me."
After listening to my words, Wang Wangyang stood beside me firmly.
"Master Xiaoman, take me down with you! You will also give me a lot of experience, and I know the art of Yin and Yang, and my arithmetic skills can always help you."
I didn't expect that Wang Wangyang would actually be willing to go down with us.
I pointed to the tunnel.
"As you can see, there are almost no treasures in here, and even if there are, basically none of them can be taken away. If you follow me down, your run will almost be in vain. Have you thought about it?"
Wang Wangyang nodded firmly.
"Of course, I've thought about it."
In this case, even if the road is open, there is nothing I can do to stop Wang Wangyang from following us to the grave.
If I forcefully stop him, I have no reason to stop him if he insists on following us.
In addition, Wang Wangyang’s attitude towards us is quite friendly, so it makes us feel more at ease if we take him with us.
I nodded and agreed to Wang Wangyang to take him to the grave.
Behind us, Zhang Xu raised his hands tremblingly.
"I want to go down with you too, can you take me with you?"
I was stunned.
It was already unexpected that Wang Wangyang wanted to follow us down, but Zhang Xu also wanted to go with us. This was completely unexpected to me.
"Your brother is in the woods, why don't you go find him? Why are you following us?"
With the precedent of his brother Zhang Ji attacking us, I really can't believe Zhang Xu's attitude.
I always feel that this guy is following us, maybe he has other motives.
After listening to my words, Zhang Xu quickly appealed to me to argue.
"I don't. My brother is my brother, and I am me. We are here just for the treasure under the ground. My brother ran away on his own, so of course I have to go down."
After saying that, he looked up at me with a bit of pleading in his eyes.
"If you don't take me with you, then I will follow you. It's too dangerous to stay here alone. If anything happens, I don't even have a helper."
Obviously, this guy is relying on us.
I looked at Cui Hao and asked his opinion.
Cui Hao nodded towards me and leaned into my ear.
"I think I can take him with me. There will be one more person and one more helper."
After saying that, he winked at me again.
"And I think this guy's nature is not bad. The most important thing is that his strength is not very good. If he really dares to act like a monster underground, then leave him underground and let him fend for himself. We three grown men , can’t you still deal with him?”
Makes sense, very makes sense!
Even if we insist on stopping someone, he will follow us secretly.
It would be safer to just take the person away and put him under his nose.
I nodded and responded back.
"No problem, we will take you down. But there is one thing I have to say in advance."
I turned to look at Wang Wangyang and told him that I had also told him this.
"Since you are following us down, you must obey Cui Hao and me during the whole process of your actions below. You cannot touch things below at will, and you cannot run around. Otherwise, if other things are drawn out, the two of us will not Responsible."
I briefly told the two of them what I had encountered before.
"I left my words here. If it is really because of your personal actions that we are in danger, then don't blame me for being cruel. I will leave you alone immediately."
Although the two of them seem to be relatively friendly, it is not ruled out that the two of them will act like monsters in the middle, and if they cause problems, they will just have to pay it back to themselves.
If Cui Hao and I are also dragged into the water, the gain will outweigh the loss.
After hearing my request, the two of them nodded hurriedly.
"No problem, we will follow you. We will do whatever you say and we will never hold you back."
Seeing how knowledgeable the two of them were, I nodded with satisfaction.
"Okay, then it's settled."
After saying that, I turned around and came to the Jingmen, smashed the soul-suppressing nail into the ground, and tied the rope.
I pulled the trigger and opened the passage door.
A gust of hot wind rushed towards me, and the billowing heat wave pushed me back a step.
"Why is it so hot?"
Cui Hao looked over and was stunned by the heat wave.
I shook my head, opened the cave entrance and set it aside to dry.
"Jingmen belongs to fire, which corresponds to Suzaku. Is there anything else you don't understand about Fire Suzaku? It seems that the fire is burning from below."
I sighed. Judging from the temperature inside, after we get down there, the temperature below will only be higher.
When I think about having to endure the high temperature when I descend into the cave later, I feel anxious in my heart.
A few of us sat next to the cave entrance for a while, until the heat had almost dissipated, and then we were ready to jump down from the cave entrance and check what was going on inside.
At this time, the temperature inside the cave was much better than before.
But even so, the moment we stepped in front of the cave entrance, we were still shivering from the heat.
"I'll go, it's too hot in here."
Cui Hao couldn't help but want to take off his clothes.
"Anyway, we are all grown men. If it doesn't work out, we will go shirtless."
As he said that, he looked at his butt again.
"But I can't climb down like this. I'll have to trouble you to hang me down with a rope later."
In fact, I had the idea to leave Cui Hao up there, and a few of us would go in to see the situation, and then come up to join him.
But when we think about the possibility that Zhang Ji is still hiding around us, if we really leave Fatty here and are attacked by this guy again, he will have no way to seek help and may really be killed by Zhang Ji.
So even if it was really difficult to move forward with Cui Hao, I was determined to take him into the tunnel.
I tied the rope around my waist and told a few of them that I would go down first and explore the way below for them.
