When Xiang Yan saw the word "Meizhuang", he felt as if he had heard of this place somewhere, and he felt uneasy. Everyone entered the village and came to the Yue Cave Gate. The word "Qin Xin" was written on the forehead of the Yue Cave Gate and was made of blue glass. After passing the moon cave gate, there is a quiet flower path, with bamboos growing on both sides, and the pebbles on the flower path are covered with moss. The flower path leads to the three stone houses. Seven or eight tall pines in front of and behind the houses cover the surrounding area in a gloomy atmosphere.
An old man gently opened the door and whispered: "Please come in." Two servants stood guard at the door, and the four old men who were drinking with Tong Huajin entered the house together with Tong Huajin and Xiang Yan. As soon as I entered the house, I smelled sandalwood. The old man opened the wooden cabinet, took out a few black cloth covers, and handed one to Tong Huajin and Xiang Yan respectively. Xiang Yan followed the others' example and put a black cloth cover over his head, revealing only a pair of bare eyes.
The four old men then led Tong Huajin and Xiang Yan into the inner room, lifted off the quilts on the bed, and uncovered the bed board. Underneath was an iron plate with a copper ring on it. Hold the copper ring and lift it up. An iron plate about four feet wide and five feet long rises up from your hand, revealing a long rectangular hole. The old man said: "That person's residence is a bit strange. Brother Tong, please come with me." After saying that, he jumped towards the cave. Another old man said: "Brother Tong please come first."
Tong Huajin jumped down into the cave first, followed by Xiang Yan. His legs went weak and he fell down. He finally remembered where this place was: "Tong Huajin is the bastard Xiang Wentian. This is where Ren Woxing was imprisoned. , Xiang Wentian wants to rescue me, let me go. These four fools from Jiangnan are luring wolves into the house, can I not go? It’s just that in the original work, Linghu Chong’s sword skills are magical, but his martial arts is mediocre. How did Xiang Wentian convince Jiangnan? Did the four friends allow themselves to compete with Ren Woxing?"
An oil lamp was lit on the wall below, revealing a pale yellow light. The place he was in was a tunnel. Xiangyan walked towards the gate of hell step by step in despair.
In the original work, Linghu Chong has a good relationship with Ren Yingying. It is impossible for Xiang Wentian not to know that Linghu Chong is Ren Yingying's sweetheart. For Ren Yingying's sake, Ren Woxing wouldn't do anything to Linghu Chong. But he has nothing to do with Ren Yingying. He and Ren Yingying have not met each other in more than a month in Luoyang, and the news of Ren Woxing's escape from the dungeon needs to be kept secret. Will Ren Woxing kill him to silence him? If I expose Xiang Wentian's conspiracy at this time, will the Four Friends of Jiangnan believe me? If Xiang Wentian's conspiracy is exposed, will he get so angry that he beats me to death with his palm?
The old man following Xiang Yan asked Xiang Yan, "Mr. Xiang, you seem to be scared?" Xiang Yan nodded and said tremblingly, "Yes! Yes!" The old man smiled and said, "How can you be afraid of the dark, Mr. Xiang?" ?" Everyone laughed, and Xiang Yan thought sadly and angrily: "How do you know what I'm afraid of?"
After walking about two feet, there was no way forward. The old man leading the way took out a bunch of keys from his arms, inserted them into a keyhole, turned them a few times, and pushed them inward. Only a rolling sound was heard, and a stone door slowly opened. After walking for a long time and passing through two doors, Xiang Yan gradually felt that his breathing was not smooth. The walls and soles of his feet were extremely moist. After walking a few feet further, the tunnel suddenly narrows, and you have to bend your waist while walking. The further you go, the lower you bend. After walking a few more feet, the old man leading the way stopped and lit the oil lamp on the wall. Under the dim light, he saw another iron gate in front of him. There was a hole about a foot square in the iron gate.
The old man leading the way said to Fang Kong: "Mr. Ren...". Xiang Yan suddenly felt numbness in his waist. Xiang Wentian made a move, and Xiang Yan fainted immediately.
Xiang Yan didn't know how long he had been unconscious before he finally woke up. I felt cold and hard under my body. I stretched out my hand to touch it and found an iron plate under the straw mat. When his right hand moved like this, it made such a choking sound, and at the same time, he felt something cold was tied to his hand. Xiang Yan knew in his heart that he was being held in Meizhuang instead of Ren Woxing. If he moved his limbs, his hands and feet were indeed chained. Open your eyes and stare hard, there is no cool light in front of you. Xiang Yan was surprised and delighted: "I didn't expect that Ren Woxing didn't kill me. Linghu Chong survived because of Ren Yingying. What's the reason for my own survival?"
After thinking about it for a while, I didn't understand it, so I stopped thinking about it. Anyway, surviving is always a good thing. However, the original book said that the iron hoop had fractures. Xiang Yan touched the hoop carefully and found that there were indeed fractures on all four hoops. Xiang Yanyunjin opened the iron hoops and removed them one by one. He was so exhausted that he was sweating profusely and panting.
There was a sound of footsteps in the distance, and a "click" was heard, followed by a bright light. Xiang Yan had been in the darkness for a long time, and suddenly saw a light. His eyes were so piercing that he shed tears, and he closed them hurriedly. After a while, I opened my eyes and looked towards where the light came from. The light came from a hole. I saw a large wooden plate slowly protruding from the square hole. There was a large bowl of rice on the plate, some dishes piled on the rice, and an earthen pot.
Xiang Yan smiled bitterly and took the wooden plate. The man outside put down the wooden plate, turned around and left. After a while, the sound of the door turning was faintly heard, and then the wooden and iron doors were heard closing one after another. The tunnel was dark again, with neither a trace of light nor a sound.
After finishing the meal, Xiang Yan suddenly remembered: "Linghu Chong climbed out through this square hole. Linghu Chong is taller than Xiang Yan. Since Linghu Chong can climb out, I guess I can climb out too!" He gave it a try. , it really works. Xiang Yan was very happy and planned to follow the food delivery person out tomorrow.
