The inside of the cave was dark and palpitating, like the hideous mouth of a giant beast, and there was a strange smell of mold in the air, which seemed to be mixed with a little fishy smell, which was daunting.

In the dark!

"Evil boy" Zhang Bao blew a few times, and then said: "Unlucky, the fire fold was wet by the rain and couldn't burn." ”

Listening to the sound of "whew", the firelight suddenly lit up, Zhang Chaifeng ignited the fire fold, Zhang Bao's face flashed a ray of surprise, Zhang Chaifeng seemed to see through the surprise in Zhang Bao's heart, and explained: "Zhang's fire fold is made by Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall, even if it is fished out of the water, it can also be blown and ignited, far from being comparable to the fire folds made in other places, of course, the price is several times more expensive than other fire folds." ”

Zhang Bao was stunned.

Looking around through the faint light of the fire fold, Dao Wujian found himself in an underground secret passage, which was about a zhang high and about six or seven feet wide, with no end in front of him, and he didn't know where to lead, maybe there was a way out, maybe not, no one knew.

"Put out the fire and save it for a hurry. Dao Wujian said.

Zhang Chaifeng extinguished the fire as he said, and the darkness in the dark passage was restored again, and Zhang Bao volunteered to say: "Zhang Mou will explore the way in front of a few people." As he spoke, he walked forward.

There was no firelight, and the dark passage was black and could not see the five fingers, and several people were like blind people with black eyes, after groping in the dark for half an hour, suddenly, Zhang Bao said "oops", and then there was a sound of people rolling on the ground in the darkness.

A few people stopped, Zhang Chaifeng lit a fire, only to see that there was an extremely steep slope in front of him, it turned out that Zhang Bao stepped on it, and then rolled down the slope, Dao Wujian asked: "Brother Zhang, are you okay?"

"It's okay, Zhang's skin is rough and thick. Zhang Bao said self-deprecatingly.

A few people walked down the slope, Zhang Chaifeng hurriedly extinguished the fire fold, the fire fold has burned half, this is the only fire fold, in this dark dark passage is extremely precious, Zhang Chaifeng understands this truth, and refuses to waste a little, whether he can get out of the dark passage, maybe he will rely on this fire fold.

After walking forward for half an hour, Zhang Chaifeng suddenly said, "Have you noticed that we have been walking deep underground. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present stopped, and their faces were filled with a solemn look.

Zhang Chaifeng continued: "If we continue to walk, I'm afraid it will be in vain, how can there be an exit underground, I think everyone understands." ”

Zhang Chaifeng's words seem to be extremely reasonable.

"It's hard to escape, are we going to die here?" Zhang Bao said depressedly.

"When we fell down the cave, Zhang found that there were several dark passages around the cave, or let's go back and re-enter a dark passage. Zhang Chaifeng suggested.

Wan Feihe said: "There are officers and soldiers up there, maybe they are searching for our whereabouts in other secret passages. How did he know that Ma Zhongyong didn't send someone down at all, and directly asked his soldiers to fill in the cave.

"Are we waiting for death?" Zhang Chaifeng said unhappily: "Brother Dao, what do you say?"

Dao Wujian said in a deep voice: "Now we have to go back and try our luck." ”

The group returned the same way, walked for nearly an hour, and when a few people came to the entrance of the original secret passage, several people were dumbfounded, and the entrance was sealed by mud.

"Straight mother, Ma Zhongyong's dog thing is to bury us alive here. Wan Feihe said angrily.

"Evil boy" Zhang Bao said in horror: "I'm going to die, I'm going to die." ”

Half an hour later!

Dao Wujian said: "Instead of sitting here and waiting to die, we might as well go down the dark path, whether we are dead or alive depends on God's arrangement." ”

Several people were helpless, so they had to walk forward along the dark road again.

Tossed for a long time, instead of finding the exit, several people were tired enough, Zhang Chaifeng's face flashed a ray of apology, and said: "It's all Zhang who is not good, and everyone is busy in vain." ”

"It's true that your idea is not clever, but the last thing you need is time. Wan Feihe said.

Zhang Bao said: "Second brother, you can't say that, if you can't find an exit, we will starve to death, I heard that starving to death is the most uncomfortable, if it comes to that point, I would rather cut it myself." ”

Dao Wujian said: "If you have the strength to speak, it is better to leave some strength to hurry, we don't have much time." ”

The group fell silent and walked forward without hurrying.

I don't know how long I walked, but Zhang Bao, who was walking in the front, stopped and shouted, "Take a break, I'm tired to death." ”

Ding Niu was burly, and Dao Wujian was panting for Ding Niu, who was already tired on his back, and put Ding Niu on the ground, Dao Wujian calmed his breath and said: "With our foot strength, we have walked at least more than ten miles, how can we not see the end, it is really a strange thing." ”

Zhang Chaifeng said with a sad face: "This dark passage goes down all the way to the end, can we drill a hole and get out?"

After pondering for a moment, Dao Wujian said, "Maybe we can really get out." ”

"Why?" Zhang Bao said curiously.

Dao Wujian said: "The place where we fell is almost to the top of the mountain, and we can only go down to the foot of the mountain, and when we reach the end, maybe we just happened to be out of the Fanjing Mountain boundary." ”

Zhang Chaifeng was not as optimistic as Dao Wujian, and said: "Brother Dao, the secret path must be sideways, so that we can go out, and it is deep underground, how can we get out?"

Dao Wujian said: "Maybe the terrain will become flat after going down, this is also maybe, in short, we can't sit and wait for death." ”

Wan Feihe said: "What Dao Gongzi said is extremely true. ”

After resting for a cup of tea, several people walked forward, and after walking less than a hundred steps, a faint dingdong sound sounded in the dark tunnel.

Dao Wujian "shh

Zhang Chaifeng said blankly: "What did you hear?"

"It's like the sound of water droplets. Dao Wujian said, his face flushed with doubt, where did the water come from in the underground tunnel? If there is living water, can it flow out along the water?

As soon as he thought of this, a look of joy appeared on Dao Wuji's face.

A few people stopped and listened, and sure enough, there was a faint spring "dingdong" sound in front of them, and several people were overjoyed, Zhang Chaifeng took out the fire fold, and after it was blown and ignited, several people walked forward quickly.

The further forward they went, the clearer the dingdong sounded, and the more joyful the faces of several people became.

When I got to the ground, my eyes became more open, but the joy on the faces of several people suddenly froze, only to see an underground dark river in front of several people, the widest part of the dark river is only more than one zhang, the narrow place is less than four feet, the dark river is about four zhang long, and there are stone walls on three sides, like an elliptical pond.

Happy New Year's Day, all the officials and grandfathers, the new year and new atmosphere, I wish you all the best in the New Year。。。。。 Thank you for your support ...
