The entrance to the cave was right at the hillside where Lu Zhengjie was killed. It was hidden behind a large boulder, and as tall as a person, the artemisia grass covered the entrance of the cave tightly, making it impossible to find it during the night. Under the leadership of Monk Tianxin, the group of over a hundred people entered the cave one by one. From the opening of the cave entrance, one could see that there were traces of artificial modifications to the cave entrance.
Before long, the inside of the cave was filled with a kind of dark aura. The deeper one went, the wider the cave became, and the taller the mountain above their heads, and after walking for about a few hundred steps, the cave began to turn, and the disciples behind him accidentally fell on the ground. When he looked carefully, he could not help but let out an "Ah!", in the silence, he suddenly let out a "Ah!", it made the female disciple's hair stand on end.
What was even more peculiar was that some of the skeletons had the weapons of the missing martial artists lying beside them, such as the iron fan of the great Lü Dazhong of Lan Tian, the buddhist bone of Luochen, the mighty pestle of Island Owner Xu, the green steel sword of Island Owner Jiang, and some plum darts and swallow darts scattered on the ground, all of which had rusted and begun to rot.
Just as everyone was dumbstruck by the scene in front of them, they heard a loud "Clang Dang" sound from behind the cave entrance. The cave entrance that they had entered earlier had been sealed shut. Yue Fei and Hong Qi shouted, "Not good, we've been tricked." If he had left Yue Fei and Hong Qi in the back, with the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms and the Free and Unrestrained Faction's Heaven Wind Palm, they would have been able to block the entrance of the cave with only one person each. But it was too late now, as the boulder that fell to the ground weighed more than ten thousand Jin, it had completely sealed off the cave entrance, not to mention Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, even Li Yuanba was unable to open the boulder.
The cave entrance that they had entered was blocked, so they could only walk forward, thinking that Monk Tianxin did not escape through the entrance, then there must have been other exits, and the strange thing happened around the corner, and everyone carefully searched around the corner, but they found nothing out of the ordinary, they just felt that they had turned a corner, and the cave was even larger, more spacious, and the ground was filled with more white bones, and the Sea Fox that Monk Tianxin spoke of did not appear, but was instead a dancing bat, which frequently knocked into people, and just like that, scared the timid disciple so much that he lost his soul.
Yue Fei said to everyone in a loud voice, "Seniors, honorable heroes, we cannot lose our heads like this. After a long time, those who have ulterior motives will release poisonous smoke and gas, and our situation will become dangerous. Now, I suggest that we team up, have more torches, and carefully search the stone walls for hidden doors. As long as Tianxin can escape, we will definitely be able to leave." His words gave everyone endless hope. At this moment, many people's spirits were raised by a hundredfold. Yue Fei and Hong Qi were in a group; Wang Gui and Tang Huai were in a group; Tang Wanqiu and my grandson Ye were in a group; Huang Shen and Bai Ling were in a group; Mei Jian and the rest of the disciples were in a group; the Grand Master and the disciples were not in a group; Lu Zhengge and the disciples of the Zhi Cang Sect were in a group; and the rest of the disciples were in pairs.
Everyone searched the entire way, when suddenly, a forked hole appeared in front of them. The forked hole was not very deep, but it was very spacious, and above the hole hung a bell like a wolf's tooth, the moss on the stone wall was green, the water vapor was moist, and a smooth stone wall was carved with red symbols that they could not understand, but other than that, there was nothing else worth studying. Everyone turned around and walked towards the deeper and deeper cave, and after walking for an unknown distance, the cave seemed to have reached its end.
At this time, the Young Island Master of the Peach Blossom Island, Apothecary Huang, shouted out, "Not good!" He heard her say, "We entered the cave in the middle of the morning. After two hours of searching, it's now the time of the day." Lu Zhengguo was not angry at all and said, "Cut the crap. It's not the same time as two hours in the morning. Could it be four hours in the morning?" Obviously, Lu Zhengguo was still brooding over his defeat at the hands of Apothecary Huang. Yue Fei, Hong Qi and company hurriedly asked, "Island Master Huang, please speak frankly." "I was born on an island, and I understand the habits of the sea. The sea rises and falls twice a day, and the first time the tide rises is at the turn of the hour and the hour of the hour. The second time the tide is at the end of the day. When I read the two lines of words on the stone wall, I suddenly remembered that before we were able to find the exit, we would have been drowned by the sea water and died in a graveless state. " His words sent chills down everyone's spines as if they had fallen into an ice hole.
Who was it that wanted to kill the martial artists from the Central Plains? And who had designed the lies of the Sanskrit on the stone wall? Who could have made the missing martial artists disappear without a trace? Standing in front of the stone wall, everyone could not understand no matter how much they thought about it. Time passed bit by bit, but there were no signs of the exit. Yue Fei said, "Everyone, we can't just sit here and wait for death. Let's return to the place where Monk Tianxin disappeared. His legs are inconvenient, so he can't travel so far.
Yue Fei looked at the red characters written on the stone wall a few times. However, he could not understand any of the strange characters, but felt that these characters were not Sanskrit. Suddenly, he thought of my grandson, Miss Ye, and asked, "Miss Ye, do you recognize the characters on the stone wall?" I, Ancient Sun Ye, walked forward and said, "Although I don't recognize these characters, I can confirm that these are symbols recorded by the golden man. What exactly do they mean? I don't quite understand either. " Yue Fei encouraged her. "Miss Ye, I'm Gu Sun, take a closer look. Have you seen this symbol before?"
When she turned her head to the right, she suddenly turned her body to the right as well, as if she had seen through something, and excitedly said to Yue Fei, "Young Hero Yue, I understand now, this is not a fully matured golden character, it turns out that it was written on the side; I can't understand it at all if I look at it vertically. Only by tilting my head can I see what it is. This line of words seems to be 'Child' … Mother... Mandarin duck... "Lock, yes, it's called 'Mother Lovers Lock'." I, GuSun Ye, was very excited. Everyone also became excited and gathered around Yue Fei, asking him if he could unlock the "Lovers Lock".
As a child, Yue Fei had learned martial arts from Zhou Dong. While he was training, he had learned the military strategy from his master, the information mechanism, the coaxing and ambushing, and he was very familiar with the information mechanism of the Central Plains. However, this kind of "Grandmother's Lovers Lock" was popular in the north, and people in the south rarely knew about it, as his master had seen this map before in the Western Summer Palace, and had also passed on this information to him.
Its chains were distributed according to the shape of the branches of heaven and earth. The sub chains were stuck in the mother chain, and the mother chain was stuck outside the sub chain. In the wrong step, the chain would remain the same. No one dared to disturb him. After a while, Yue Fei said to everyone, "Not only is the daughter's Lovers Lock a very strange mechanism, but there are also many hidden dangers. Please step back a hundred steps, as long as Sect Master Hong stays and helps." As soon as the voice stopped, everyone automatically retreated a hundred steps. Only Yue Fei and Hong Qi were left on the scene, leaving everyone with endless hope.
After everyone had retreated a hundred steps, Yue Fei told Hong Qi that the stalactite above his head was built by hand, and that it was built in the shape of a natural stem. The canine tooth stalactite was short and long, and you were responsible for pushing the stalactite up and up to the point of "Ok Ok Ok", and you stopped and pushed the second stalactite down, in the same way as you did. It was difficult for the stalactite to be completely suspended in the air without a foothold; it was difficult for us to both act at the same time and return accurately to the wall with words, or the heart of the arrow would be pierced; we would not take another step until ten thousand arrows had been shot together. After he finished speaking, he gave Hong Qi a questioning look.
After Yue Fei and Hong Qi recited their internal energy cultivation method, they saw Hong Qi as a "flying dragon in the sky", and as Hong Qi rose up, Yue Fei immediately used the "floating with the wind" technique in his body, and his body also floated into the air. Two martial arts experts today, one was like a dancing rainbow butterfly, the other was like a flying swallow; one pushed upwards and the other pulled downwards, and in an instant, the long stalactite turned into a short stalactite, and the last stalactite returned to the top of the cave, as if the sky was caving in, followed by a shower of arrows shooting towards every corner of the cave.
Even so, Yue Fei and Hong Qi broke out in a cold sweat. The other martial arts figures far away from the cave entrance were all worried for their safety. After a while, the ten thousand arrows started to stop in unison. The stalactite above his head had already disappeared, Yue Fei could not help but admire the designer's ingenuity, if not for my grandson, Miss Ye, recognizing that it was the "Grandmother's Lovers Lock", no one would have noticed that the stalactite above his head was artificially constructed and the artificial stalactite suspended there was so natural and so realistic. Now that the stalactite had retreated, it revealed the original appearance of the mountain. Only when the Sky Dry and Earth Branch had a groove on their head and tail, and there was an ordinary bronze ring in the groove, once the bronze ring was pulled, there would be a change in the cave.
After the copper rings were pulled out, they had to break the shackles of the cow tendons on the copper rings, and then return to the stone wall. Under Yue Fei's instructions, both of them made their moves, and when the two pulled the cow tendons back to the stone wall, two gigantic stone balls fell onto the ground with a loud bang, and rolled towards the side of the stone wall like a duck in pursuit of water. The two stone balls rolled faster and faster, until finally, the stone ball emitted a loud sound and continuously crashed into the stone wall. The originally flawless stone wall revealed a stone door, but this time the stone door only caved in slightly, and it was not completely opened.
However, the stone door and stone ball would be stuck in a huge pit, and breaking the iron rod was extremely dangerous. This was because, the instant the iron rod was broken, there would be three poison crossbows that would be sent flying towards the person who broke the door, making it impossible for you to dodge them, and if the person was hit, then the mechanism at the back would be unbreakable as well. Opening the stone door was the key step, thus, not only did Yue Fei have to crack it himself, but he did not want Hong to risk it and tell him to pull out his treasured sword from the other side.
