Wulin martial arts hegemony record

Chapter 339

"Actually, it's not just the past few days. Since we came to Luoyang, Third Grandpa and Uncle Zhou have been a little different from usual. It may be because of the impact of the incident decades ago. We haven't experienced it ourselves, so it's hard to understand their feelings. " Ye Ziqiong finished her consoling words earnestly, and then patted Shangguan Yi vigorously: "Senior Brother Shangguan, don't think about it, cheer up quickly, my little sister still has to rely on you for support!"

Shocked by her, Shangguan Yi immediately put the disappointment in his heart behind him, patted his chest and said: "Junior Sister, don't worry, when did I, Shangguan Yi, collapse, just tell me if you have anything to do!"

……

Under Xu Zhaoyan's urging, each faction quickly put forward their own candidates, some of whom Xue Chang knew, such as Gai Youren of the Qingcheng faction, Lingyu of the Emei faction, Tang Fangzhuo of the Jagged Changhe Gate, Guo Huaishou of the Flying Fish Gang, Shaolin Temple Huike, Meishan Zhaijiang Yifeng...

Considering that there are still relatively high risks in the underground cave, the heads of various factions generally do not take risks personally, but there are also very few who participate, and most of them are familiar to Xue Chang: Taibai Valley Lu Yuan and Yindu faction Feng Yanhao It is understandable that they have to go out in person to gain prestige; but Qiu Yunhan of the Tang Sect is different. She has been sitting on the throne of the patriarch for many years, and she actually goes out in person, even if there may be some Xu Zhaoyan's request, but the courage she showed couldn't help Xue Chang, who had suspicions about her, looked at her differently.

In the investigation team formed last time, Xu Zhaoyan gave [-] places to wandering martial artists, but there were many applicants, and ten more were added later. As a result, they were the ones who suffered the most casualties, and their enthusiasm was severely damaged, so This time, many people flinched, and as a result, the [-] places were not filled.

In addition, although Xue Chang, a warrior who protects the country, was in the investigation team this time, Xu Zhaoyan was still a little worried, so he invited Zen Master Wunu and Master Qingsong to join.

As a result, this expedition team of about 130 people led by Wang Daoshun, the commander of the Gyeonggi Patrol Division, was formed.

..............................................................................

Standing in front of the cave, Xue Chang carefully looked at the entrance of the cave. It was square in shape, two meters long on each side, and the incision was smooth and flat. Didn't find out at that time?

"According to the head of Wang, when the Mangshan faction moved here, the square was like it is now. The stone slabs paved are all ready-made, and the texture is hard and thick. The ground is very deep, and it is difficult to pull it up. I just didn't move it and used it directly, but I never thought that there is such a big secret hidden in it." Wang Daoshun who was on the side explained that the commander of the military patrol in Gyeonggi had an ordinary appearance and looked very kind.

"Yeah, it hasn't been discovered for decades. This burrow is quite secretive. Look at the traces—" Xue Chang pointed to the bottom of the burrow cutout, and sighed, "You can imagine how thick this burrow is!"

"Master Lu inspected the entrance of the cave and said that there is an ingeniously designed and strong mechanism behind the cave stone to withstand it, so as to ensure that it fits closely with the surrounding stone slabs, and it has not collapsed for decades. The sudden appearance is definitely not an accident, but someone opened the mechanism from inside, otherwise it can persist for decades—”

"That is to say, someone deliberately opened the hole and lured us here. I'm afraid it's a conspiracy." Xue Chang looked at him and said in a deep voice.

Wang Daoshun did not evade, and responded frankly: "Master Xu and I also think so, but now that the matter has become such a big mess, we must thoroughly investigate it!"

Xue Chang turned around and said, "Did you hear that? I'm afraid this is a conspiracy, and there are bound to be great risks in it. Are you still determined to go down?"

Standing behind him, Gu Shijing said with a look of disdain: "If you are afraid, you can go back! Such an interesting thing, I must go down and have a look!"

Gu Shijing, Gu Shijing, I don't know you yet!You were unwilling to participate in the previous martial arts conferences, but now you are so active in a burrow. I don't believe that just because the emperor and concubine slapped you, your personality has changed! … Xue Chang slandered in his heart, but said seriously: "That's fine, the people in front have gone far enough, it's time for us to go down."

"I don't want to go with you." Gu Shijing shook her head in rejection.

Xue Chang said unceremoniously: "Either we go together, or we go back now!"

"Master Gu, there are many dangers under the cave, so we require at least two people to walk side by side, so that we can take care of each other." Wang Daoshun explained from the side.

Gu Shijing snorted, jumped down from the entrance of the cave, and landed firmly on the stone steps, then she moved slightly to the side seemingly unintentionally.

Then Xue Chang floated down and stood beside her.

The stone steps go down obliquely, and the slope is not too low. Even though the military inspectors planted torches every ten meters above the stone wall to illuminate the descending passage, Xue Chang could not see the bottom of the stone steps at a glance. , which shows how deep the hole is.

The two stood side by side, walking down cautiously, the sound of "da da" footsteps echoing in the passage, especially clear.

"Ah!" Gu Shijing suddenly let out a scream, her whole body staggered and fell forward.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Xue Chang stretched out his hand to grab it, and said teasingly, "If you really let you go alone, you will fall down."

Gu Shijing did not refute, but turned her head to look behind her.

It turned out that the stone steps should have been chiseled directly on the rock, and they were uneven with many edges and corners. However, Gu Shijing's long skirt almost dragged the floor, but she was caught by it.

Gu Shijing tugged a few times, but failed to make it break away.

Xue Chang had no choice but to bend down to untie it for her, and at the same time reminded: "The conditions in this cave are terrible, and you may encounter such situations from time to time when you wear long skirts."

Gu Shijing hesitated for a while, then picked up the corner of the skirt with one hand, pulled out the sword with the other, twisted her wrist, and cut off a section of the long skirt in a blink of an eye, revealing her well-proportioned lotus-white calves.

Her decisive and straightforward approach made Xue Chang look at her differently.

The two finally finished walking the stone steps, turned their heads to look back, but couldn't see where the cave entrance was.

Below the stone steps is a narrow corridor, which can only be passed by one person. Xue Chang took the initiative to walk in front, and Gu Shijing did not object to this.

It was precisely because of the narrowness of the corridor that there were no torches on the cave wall, so this section of the road became pitch black. Fortunately, Xue Chang had brought a torch with Wang Daoshun's reminder in advance, and lit it before finishing the stone steps. He held the torch Groping forward, Gu Shijing followed closely behind. In some places where the roads were narrower and the light was darker, the two of them even pressed their backs to their chests. Chang felt inappropriate, but he considered that Gu Shijing was a woman and might be a little scared in this narrow and dark cave, so he didn't say a word to remind her, so as not to hurt her self-esteem.

Fortunately, although this passage was winding, it was not very long. It didn't take long for the two of them to pass through the narrow passage and stand in a wide underground passage: it was three meters wide and two meters high. The ground is paved with flat blue bricks, with cloud-patterned stone walls on both sides, and night pearls inlaid on the top, exuding faint fluorescence...

Xue Chang looked around, and couldn't help but said, "Palace Master Gu, have you noticed that the stone steps and corridors before are extremely rough, but this passage looks simple and elegant, completely incompatible, but was forced to come together Together……"

Before Gu Shijing responded, Wang Daoshun's voice came from behind: "Marquis Huayang's judgment is correct. We also analyzed it before and believed that the Tianzun Sect probably discovered the underground bedroom of an ancient prince while digging a tunnel, so Take it for yourself."

"That makes sense." Xue Chang nodded, waved his hand and said, "Commander Wang, Zen Master Wunu, the road here is spacious, so there's no need for you to drag it behind."

"Marquis Huayang doesn't know that last time our formation was too dense. When the dense poisonous arrows were shot in front of us or a huge boulder rolled in, everyone was unable to dodge and suffered a lot of injuries. That's why we made such a request this time. In order to give everyone time to dodge or rescue when danger arises." Wang Daoshun explained.

It made sense for Xue Chang to think about it.

At this time, Guo Huaishou's voice came from the front: "Master Xue, don't stop, please follow up quickly, with you behind, we will feel more at ease."

"Let's go." Xue Chang said to Gu Shijing.

Under the reflection of the fire, Gu Shijing's delicate cheeks were a little rosy, she didn't speak, but nodded slightly.

The two walked on the solid ground. After walking for a while, they still could not see the end of the road ahead. Xue Chang couldn't help asking: "Commander Wang, do you know where this road leads to?" ?”

"According to our markings these days, it is generally far away from Luoshui, towards the northwest..."

Xue Chang thought for a while: "In other words, this road leads to the depths of Mang Mountain?"

"It can be said that although the exact location of the underground palace has not been found yet, it must have exceeded the range of the mountain where the Mangshan faction is located. Master Xu has asked the troops of the Beijing Division's Northern Battalion to search the northwest of the mountain carefully for an early Some found the exit of the underground palace to prevent the murderer from escaping."

Xue Chang pondered and said, "There are many mountains here, and it may not be easy to find the exit in a short time."

"Yes, it's a pity that the authority given by the emperor to Mr. Xu can only mobilize so many soldiers." Wang Daoshun said in a deep voice: "So we still have to rely on us to speed up the search of the underground palace and strive to capture these murderers in one fell swoop in the underground palace. .”

"These murderers dared to blatantly lure us here. I'm afraid they have nothing to fear. It's not easy to catch them." After Xue Chang reminded him, he asked again: "Zen Master Wu Nu, when you were young, you should have learned from Tianzun. Have dealt with them, what do you think of their martial arts?"
