Chapter 597: A Strange Shadow

"There is this, this is the Laoshan defense map that the old man asked someone to draw."

Qiao Beiming nodded, and soon took out a roll of parchment from his body, and then spread it on the tea table in front of Zuo Yang, and said with a wry smile, "But the old man has not only seen this defense map a hundred times, it is precisely because Laoshan Mountain is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, and only one mountain road can go up the mountain, so the old man covered the base camp here, such an easy to defend and difficult to attack terrain, Zhang Danfeng is to summon more helpers, if you want to attack it, you will definitely suffer heavy losses, and the old man can take the opportunity to invite him to fight with the old man to win or lose Now it seems, The old man's move is a bit of a self-digging grave. ”

“”

Zuo Yang didn't respond, but just looked at the arming map very carefully.

Indeed, as Qiao Beiming said, Laoshan Mountain is divided into two peaks, the main peak and the secondary peak, the main peak is in the north and the secondary peak is in the south, and only along the mountain road on the south side of the secondary peak can you go up the mountain.

And if you want to reach the main peak, the terrain is relatively open to some of the secondary peaks is the only way, as long as you set up some ambushes along the mountain road, and set up heavy troops on the secondary peaks, so condescending and do not have to worry about the enemy on the back, it will definitely cause great losses to decent people, and even if the secondary peak is finally broken, it is only the outer city, and the people of the evil sect can also retreat to the main peak.

But also because of this, if the decent camp is surrounded by different after suffering losses, Laoshan Mountain, which is only passable by a mountain road, has become a cage, and it will become very difficult for anyone in any evil camp to go down the mountain As long as it develops to this situation, this "war of good and evil" will become a war of attrition to compete for the resilience of Nailing, and no one can help the other party in a short period of time.

So.

Zuo Yang looked at this defense map for a long time, if it wasn't for the defense map was just a thumbnail map, he even wanted to figure out the situation of every tree and every stone on Lao Mountain, even so, he still didn't see any useful The cliffs around Xinxia Mountain are too high, especially the main peak where they are located, the lowest place is as high as 1300 meters, such a height can not play any light work, and whoever jumps down is only a dead end.

"See what's going on?"

Seeing that Zuo Yang looked at it for a long time, his eyes moved, and Qiao Beiming asked subconsciously.

"Nope"

Zuo Yang took a breath and rubbed his temples vigorously.

At this moment, his eyes suddenly fixed on the two rows of chambers on the main peak.

The entrance to the Laoshan secret passage is in one of the wings, and on this kind of defense map, Qiao Beiming naturally will not mark it, otherwise if someone gets the defense map, this secret passage will be exposed immediately, which is really not a wise move.

But Zuo Yang is different, since he has entered the secret passage, he already knows where the entrance to the secret passage is, so can this secret passage, which few people know, be able to make some articles?

"Senior, you discovered this secret passage on Laoshan a long time ago, so you also know a lot about this secret passage, please recall carefully, is there any other way out of this secret passage that can lead to Laoshan Mountain?"

Zuo Yang didn't stretch out his hand to point out the location of the entrance to the secret passage, because until now he still suspected that someone was watching the two of them's every move, but they didn't find each other, and they couldn't find any clues, so just in case, Zuo Yang felt that these slackness should be paid extra attention, otherwise even if he had any new discoveries and plans, it was very likely that he would be targeted again.

"This old man has been discovering that secret passage for more than thirty years, and the old man has checked every corner of the secret passage, and indeed he has not found any other way out."

Qiao Beiming recalled and gave a very positive answer.

"Hmm."

Zuo Yang nodded, but his mind was still recalling everything he had seen in the secret passage, and after a long time, he suddenly realized something, Lian Mi asked, "What about that waterfall?" ”

"Waterfall?"

Qiao Beiming was stunned.

"Outside the stone room where the predecessors retreated and cultivated, isn't there a water curtain cave-like Hun cloth to cover it?"

Zuo Yang continued to ask, "The amount of water from the waterfall doesn't seem to be small, and the juniors didn't find a waterhole in the secret passage of Laoshan Mountain, so the water flowing out of the waterfall will never disappear out of thin air, can the seniors know where the water ended up?" ”

"This"

After Zuo Yang's reminder, Qiao Beiming finally remembered that the bottom of the waterfall was a bottomless pit with a diameter that was not too large, and all the water left on the waterfall was poured into the bottomless pit, as if he would never be satisfied, and what was even more strange was that there was no river within a radius of dozens of miles from Laoshan Mountain, and no one could tell where the water went, so it was impossible to determine where the bottomless pit led.

Although Qiao Beiming has discovered this secret passage for more than thirty years, he has never considered this problem.

After all, he has other ways to go, and the amount of water in this waterfall is not small, it is impossible for anyone to go up the river through this bottomless pit to enter the secret passage, there is really no need to pay attention to this bottomless pit, and he will definitely not risk jumping into this bottomless pit that does not know where it leads, isn't it good to live?

"It seems that Qiao Beiming doesn't know either."

Through Qiao Beiming's expression, Zuo Yang had already received the answer to his question, so he didn't continue to ask, still thinking about this question in his heart.

However, at present, he has repeatedly checked the map of Laoshan Mountain, thought of all the ways to leave Laoshan Mountain, and then eliminated all these methods one by one, because the result of these methods is the same, either he will be besieged by the people who covet Qiao Beiming's corpse, or he can only jump from the cliffs and fall to his death.

So think about it.

Zuo Yang still feels that the only thing that can succeed is this bottomless pit under the Laoshan Secret Waterfall, where no one knows where it leads, but people go to high places, water flows to low places, these waters must flow to a certain place without being collected, and this place must not be closed, otherwise can the water that flows out of the steady stream disappear out of thin air?

Zuo Yang looked at the world map again.

Laoshan is located on the east side of this martial arts world, although there is still some distance from the coastline, but this distance is not far from the near and far, this bottomless pit may not be impossible to directly lead to the sea, if this is the case, he took Qiao Beiming's "corpse" may really be able to avoid everyone's eyes and ears to complete this "golden cicada shell" plan

Of course, the environment in the bottomless pit is not easy to say now, if it is full of stalagmites and obstacles, it is very possible for him and Qiao Beiming to jump down rashly and fall into a nest with no place to be buried, and this ulcer needs to undoubtedly take a very big risk.

So

"Why don't I try it alone while I still have time?"

Zuo Yang thought so, after all, as a player, he could be resurrected if he died, but if Qiao Beiming rashly entered this kind of place and encountered any accidents, then he would really die with Shura's Yin Sha Gong.

Just as he was thinking.

"The old man really doesn't know where this bottomless pit leads, but there was a martial arts sect on this Laoshan Mountain, and this sect is called the Laoshan faction, and this Shangqing Palace was also built by the Laoshan faction back then, the old man has some understanding of the Laoshan faction, but I don't know if these things can help."

Qiao Beiming tried to say.

At this moment, the face of this big devil is actually slightly red, he is also a good-looking guy, and the question just now obviously made him a little embarrassed, so he can't wait to tell everything he knows, even if it can play a little role, it is good, otherwise wouldn't it seem that he is too useless?

"Oh? Please tell me more about it. ”

Zuo Yang raised his head and arched his hand.

"Ahem"

Qiao Beiming cleared his throat and said, "As far as the old man knows, this Laoshan faction originates from the Quanzhen Sect, which is a branch of the Quanzhen Sect, and the founder of the Laoshan faction was the outer disciple of the ancestor of the Quanzhen Sect, called Sun Xuanqing, and later Wang Chongyang became immortal, and after this person guarded the tomb for three years, he went all the way east to Laoshan Mountain, and then saw that Laoshan was a treasure land, so he settled down here, recruited disciples to open a mountain and establish a faction, and finally formed a certain scale, which is the origin of the Laoshan faction. ”

"It is said that Sun Xuanqing, the founder of the Laoshan faction, has some attainments in swordsmanship and boxing, and has created a set of swordsmanship and boxing on the basis of the Quanzhen sect exercises for the disciples to learn and practice, but compared with the swordsmanship and boxing method, the most exquisite exercises of the Laoshan sect are a kind of 'qigong' that has also evolved from the internal strength of the Quanzhen sect, and the name of the exercise is very simple, it is called Laoshan qigong, but the power of use is not to be drunk."

"It's a pity that the situation in the Central Plains was turbulent later, the three forces of Jin, Song and Mongolia fought for many years, and the Laoshan faction struggled in the war, and the Laoshan faction also attracted the attention of these three forces at the same time, on the one hand, they sent envoys to try to summon the Laoshan faction for their own use, on the other hand, they were worried that other forces would get the support of the Laoshan faction In such a situation, the situation of the Laoshan faction was even more difficult, and then I didn't know what happened, so I completely lost the news, leaving only an empty Shangqing Palace."

"Some say they fled overseas together, others say they self-destructed."

"That's probably the history of the Laoshan faction."

"Ugh"

After listening to Qiao Beiming's words, Zuo Yang still didn't get any really helpful information, but after playing the game for so long, Zuo Yang still has some understanding of some rules in the game.

Under normal circumstances, most of the bootstrap language that comes out of the NPC's mouth is not groundless, but provides some very key clues for the player.

For example, Qiao Beiming just mentioned an exercise called Laoshan Qigong, which means that it is very likely that such an exercise exists in Laoshan now, but how to get it, or whether it can be obtained, depends on the player's ability and luck

So he still remembered all what Qiao Beiming said in his heart, and chewed it carefully, and then said: "Thank you seniors for talking to me about this, and the juniors will remember it in my heart." ”

"So what do you know next?"

Qiao Beiming asked again.

Zuo Yang swayed: "Not yet, but there is still some time now, the junior plans to go to the secret passage to investigate again, maybe it is possible to find some clues." ”

"The old man will go with you."

Qiao Beiming immediately said.

"Not necessarily."

Zuo Yang said, "The senior's plan has been targeted repeatedly, although the specific reason has not been found for the time being, but in order to prevent similar things from happening again, this time the seniors had better stay put, and the juniors will secretly investigate, if they find the juniors, they will definitely come back and inform the seniors as soon as possible." ”

"That's fine, be careful."

Qiao Beiming thought about it and agreed to Zuo Yang's proposal.

"Senior farewell."

It's night.

After coming out of the secret room in the Shangqing Palace, Zuo Yang did not immediately enter the wing room with the entrance to the secret passage not far away, but swaggered towards the vice peak.

In this way, it was not until the sub-peak where many cult people were temporarily housed that Zuo Yang walked into a thatched house, and then suddenly used the "Shadow Escape Technique" to sneak into the shadows, and then climbed out from behind the thatched house, and quickly returned to the Shangqing Palace along the shadows on the side of the mountain road

This feeling of fighting wits and courage with an invisible enemy is not very good, even Zuo Yang is not sure if there is such an enemy, maybe he is just fighting wits and courage with the air, but it is always right to have one more heart, after all, he has no other way at the moment, only the bottomless pit under the waterfall in the secret passage of Laoshan Mountain may be able to take the risk of trying, if this idea is also exposed, he can really only miss the Shura Yin Sha Gong.

And not long after Zuo Yang left.

Under the moonlight, a lone shadow appeared on the bluestone ground not far away, and no one could be seen at all, only a shadow leaning on the ground.

The shadow moved little by little, and quietly came to the thatched house.

"Squeak ——!"

The shadow's arm gradually raised, and the door of the hut slowly opened, and the shadow immediately flashed into the shadow on one side.

It was quiet for a moment, after making sure there was no movement.

The shadow finally floated out of the shadows again, and came to the place directly opposite the door of the hut.

At this moment, the thatched hut was naturally empty.

"Huh?"

A startled voice rang out.

After a short time, Zuo Yang had already returned to the main peak where the Shangqing Palace was located, and he quickly sneaked into the wing room where the entrance to the secret passage was hidden, and then jumped in with a dodge.

However, in view of the history of the Laoshan faction that Qiao Beiming had told him before, Zuo Yang did not go to that waterfall as soon as possible, but planned to use the crystal mirror to carefully investigate this secret passage again to see if he could find more things Anyway, it is still early before the start of the war between good and evil, and he is not in a hurry for this moment.
