Chapter Seventy-Two: A Beautiful Secret Passage

"Stone, what's down there?" drove everyone else away, Gao Quan squatted at the mouth of the vegetable cellar and poked his head to look down.

"It's empty down there, there's nothing!" The vegetable cellar was originally empty, and there was nothing, and Shi Lei couldn't find anything when he looked around with a flashlight below.

"Empty? You stomp the ground, knock on the wall, and see if there's any empty space! Gao Quan also knew that there must be nothing in this vegetable cellar, and if something had to be found in the past few days, where was the flaw so easy to find?

"Yes, yes! This wall is empty! Shi Lei groped underneath for a while, and suddenly shouted loudly.

"Wow!" There was an uproar among the people above! It turns out that there is really something wrong with this vegetable cellar!

"Come up on the stones, let me go down and see!" The entrance to the cave was too small, Gao Quan was afraid that there would not be enough oxygen in the two of them, so he wanted Shi Lei to come up and replace him to go down to have a look.

"Don't worry, let me find out how this door was opened." It turns out that there is a portal underneath! The people above were even more excited.

"Found it!" Shi Lei in the vegetable cellar shouted, Gao Quan couldn't hold back any longer, and went down the ladder of the vegetable cellar inside. I saw that a door suddenly opened on the wall in the originally empty vegetable cellar! A cold wind rumbled from inside the door, and I didn't know where it led.

Shi Lei heard movement behind him, and when he turned around and saw that it was Gao Quan, an irrepressible excitement immediately appeared on the face of the reconnaissance regiment commander, "I just listened to the order of the military seat and knocked on the wall with a dagger, and when I knocked and knocked, I found that this side was empty." I couldn't push it away with all my strength, so I looked for it carefully, and it turned out that there was a latch here! Looking in the direction of Shi Lei's finger, sure enough, there was a pit under the wooden door, and there was an inconspicuous small latch in the pit, and the top was also the same latch. It's not a familiar person, it's really hard to find.

It is estimated that the soldiers didn't check carefully when they saw that the vegetable cellar was empty, including Gao Quanchu, who didn't think much about this vegetable cellar when he saw it, if Hong Yingying hadn't seen that there was something wrong with the vegetable cellar, I am afraid that this secret door would not have been found until now.

"Throne!" Gao Quan came down, where could the people above sit still, Hong Yingying was the first to follow. When he came in and saw the open door, Director Hong was also excited, "There is really a secret door here!" Let's go in and see where it goes? ”

"Yingying!" Gao Quan grabbed the woman who was about to go forward, "Even if we want to go in and check, we have to notify the people above first!" "The army commander, the special service chief, with the commander of the reconnaissance regiment, just these two people casually went into the cave to explore the treasure? This is also too rash! Gao Quan's current position no longer allowed him to take rash risks.

Shi Lei stepped into the portal and shone into the depths with a flashlight. Gao Quan raised his head and shouted at the top: "Biaozi come down, Xiao Qi is above and commands the soldiers one by one, there is a secret passage here, we have to enter the secret passage to investigate." ”

As soon as Gao Quan's voice fell, Biaozi jumped down first, followed by the soldiers with weapons in hand, and went down to the vegetable cellar one by one. Gao Quan guided, and the warriors followed the open portal into the dark passage. Seeing that there were almost twenty people in the past, Gao Quanyi pulled Hong Yingying, "Let's go, let's follow." ”

Hong Yingying was in front, Gao Quan was behind, and then followed by Hu Biao, the commander of the guard battalion, and the three of them were playing a flashlight. I didn't carry too many flashlights with me when I went into the mountains this time, and no one thought that there would be a game like cave exploration. Fortunately, after entering this door, according to the rules of the game of cave exploration, Gao Quan immediately found a few pine oil torches on the walls on both sides behind him.

There were still a few torches on the cave wall, Gao Quan took one, and the rest was taken by the warriors behind. Several torches were all lit, and the visibility in the secret passage was immediately greatly improved, and it was impossible to do it in the slightest, but the general figure could still be distinguished, especially when the torch was in front of it, and the visibility was more clear.

Gao Quan held the torch, looked back and forth, left and right, and then looked into the sky, it turned out that this secret road was a natural cave, and the bottom of the cave was under his feet. On the top of the cave, there are bell stones of different thicknesses hanging upside down, and there are stalagmites and stone pillars of different sizes on both sides of the passage under your feet. The flashlights and torches lit by the warriors illuminated the various shapes of bell stones crystal clear and sparkling, as if they were walking in a treasure cave, and those bell stones were all kinds of colorful gems.

"It's beautiful!" Hong Yingying looked at the shiny bell stones around her and couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

"It's beautiful." Gao Quan casually agreed, "If it weren't for Director Hong's discerning eyes to see through the secrets of the vegetable cellar, we would have mistaken this treasure land." Although Shi Lei found the portal of the secret passage, if Hong Yingying had not raised doubts about the vegetable cellar first, this secret passage would not have been discovered by anything.

After receiving the praise of her sweetheart, Hong Yingying turned around and smiled sweetly at Gao Quan, so frightened that Gao Quan hurriedly held the small waist of this beauty, "Yingying be careful!" ”

The secret passage they were walking was not a straight asphalt road. There are some slight ups and downs on the road, not to mention the size of the wrinkles, and the crooked path is turning around from the middle of the large and small bell stones, Hong Yingying turned around just now, and almost hit a stone pillar that leads from the ground to the top of the cave! This guy doesn't know how many years of crystallization it has taken to get to where it is today, and the flesh and blood of a person is definitely not as hard as it!

Hong Yingying stuck out her tongue mischievously, and hurriedly looked ahead and didn't dare to be distracted anymore. That is, in front of Gao Quan, Director Hong occasionally had this kind of little daughter, and in front of anyone else, Hong Yingying has always been synonymous with ruthlessness and ruthlessness.

How could there be such a secret passage in the cellar of the monk's temple? Was this secret passage built when the monks built the temple, or was it newly built after the traitors used this place as a stronghold? This cave was certainly not dug by hand, and there are not so many bell stones that cannot be built manually. So who connected it to the temple? Before these problems were solved, Gao Quan did not dare to relax his vigilance for a moment, and he always held a gun in one hand.

Except for Gao Quan's expedition team, there were no other animate creatures in the cave. The line is getting longer and longer, like a long dragon. In addition to the torches in the front, there are also scattered soldiers holding torches in the back, which are improvised torches made by Liu Qi, who was left behind, after hearing about the situation in the cave. The vegetation on the mountain is dense, and if you cut some pine branches and cypress branches, and pour a little tung oil, it is a good torch. This can be seen that Gao Quan left Liu Qi to the back, if there was no effective organization of Brigade Commander Liu, how could the torch be smoothly connected?

After the reconnaissance company and the guard company all went down to the cave, Liu Qi put down half of the communication platoon, the machine gun company, and the grenadier platoon, and the rest waited for news in the temple with him. This vegetable cellar is the retreat of the military seat, and Liu Qi must help the military seat to take care of this opening.
