The whole cave seemed to be collapsing.
Xu Feng has no experience in the world, and only then did he realize that he had touched the mechanism by mistake. It was too late for him to escape from the cave, and he could only protect his head and face with his hands in a panic. Stones from the mountain wall fell down one after another, hitting his body and back, and every hit was painful.
Zhou Yan had already arrived at the entrance of the cave. Seeing this sudden change, he immediately turned around and threw himself on Xu Feng.
Xu Feng felt a weight on his body, and his ears were filled with the sound of someone's heartbeat. The falling stones hit Zhou Yan with "poof", "poof", but he didn't even hum.
I don't know how long it took before the constantly shaking ground gradually calmed down.
It was dark in the cave. Xu Feng felt a hand touch his neck, and the owner of that hand asked him in the dark: "Brother Xu, are you injured?"
Because of the experience of those three years, Xu Feng was not used to getting close to others, so he avoided the side and said, "It's okay, thank you brother Zhou for protecting me."
Zhou Yanjing waited for a while before saying: "It's nothing more than a little effort."
He was carrying a torch, and he took it out and lit it at this time. Looking around, he saw that the already narrow cave was full of rocks, and the only exit was tightly blocked by stones.
Zhou Yan stretched out his hand and pushed, but the stone did not move.
Xu Feng asked: "What? Can't you get out?"
Zhou Yan pondered: "If I hadn't been injured, I could use my internal force to shatter the stones, but unfortunately..."
The dancing flames shone on him, Xu Feng only realized at this time that the clothes on his body were damaged, and there were blood spots oozing from some places, he thought he was injured by rocks in the chaos just now.
"Brother Zhou was injured even more seriously in order to save me?"
Zhou Yan didn't care much, and said, "It's just a little flesh injury."
"You and I met by chance, why should Brother Zhou protect each other so much?"
"I..." There seemed to be a faint light in Zhou Yan's eyes, and he looked at Xu Fengdao, "I am older than you, and my skills are higher than yours, so I treat you like a younger brother, and I should protect you."
Xu Feng didn't expect that he was also a chivalrous person, and he was very grateful in his heart. He regretted doubting his origin earlier and was always wary of him.
Zhou Yan couldn't get out of the cave, so he asked about the reason for the violent earthquake in the cave. Xu Feng remembered the round stone he touched, and hurriedly led Zhou Yan to look.
Zhou Yan lit the torch, squatted down and took a closer look at the smooth and round stone, then reached out to touch it, and turned slightly to the side.
"Crack, click, click."
There was another strange sound, but this time there was no landslide and ground crack, only the ground beside the rock shook slowly, revealing a dark hole.
Xu Feng exclaimed: "It's a secret way!"
After he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the person beside him, seeing that Zhou Yan's sallow face still had a dull expression, and even his expression did not change for a moment, thinking that this person really had weathered the storm, he couldn't help secretly admiring him. When he used to read story books, he often saw stories about a certain hero entering the underground palace and finding martial arts secrets or shocking treasures, but when it was his turn, he hesitated again and asked Zhou Yan: "Brother Zhou, Shall we go down and have a look?"
Zhou Yan said: "Anyway, the exit has been blocked. Instead of sitting in a sad city, why don't you go down and have a look."
As he said, he handed the dagger he was carrying to Xu Feng, "You don't have a weapon on you, so just take this for self-defense."
Xu Feng had already used his dagger when he was cooking pheasants, he knew it was a rare sharp blade, but he didn't refuse it just because of the pressing situation. Holding the dagger in his hand, he was about to bend down into the secret passage, but Zhou Yan took a step ahead.
Zhou Yan held up the torch and said, "I'll go ahead."
The entrance of the cave can only allow one person to pass through, and it twists and turns without knowing where it leads. In the beginning, the two of them could only walk in a bowed position, but as they got to the back, it became wider and wider.
The mountain walls on both sides are polished very flat, obviously excavated by man, and it seems to be the same as the shallow pits dug on the cliff. Drops of water dripped from the top of his head and landed on Xu Feng's neck, making him shiver from the cold. It suddenly occurred to him that this was no accident.
Who would spend so much effort and carve a path on a cliff for no reason? It must be related to the secret passage in this cave. No matter where this secret road leads to, it probably has something to do with the Palace of Bliss.
Xu Feng regained his composure, and then walked more carefully.
Trap and traps are naturally indispensable in secret roads. Fortunately, Zhou Yan is experienced in Jianghu, and he sees and dismantles tricks along the way, and saves danger one by one. Xu Feng followed behind him, feeling terrified every time.
After walking for more than half an hour, Xu Feng heard the sound of gurgling water.
Zhou Yan turned his head and said: "This should be an underground river, we are now in the middle of the mountain."
"I don't know when this secret passage will be finished?"
"It should be soon."
Zhou Yan predicted well, they walked for a while, and the secret path came to an end. At the end is a stone wall, which completely blocks the way forward, and there is no trace of light.
Xu Feng slackened his breath and said in disappointment, "It seems to be a dead end."
Zhou Yan said: "Not necessarily."
He raised his torch to light the stone wall.
As soon as the fire light shone, Xu Feng saw a picture of a erotic palace painted on the wall. Due to the passage of time, the color on the picture has been mottled, but it can still be seen that the painting is a scene of a group of naked men and women embracing and having sex.
Xu Feng had also seen such obscene things in the Palace of Bliss, and when he saw it now, his face was flushed red with anger, and then turned pale, and he turned his head away not wanting to look at it again.
Zhou Yan glanced at him, moved his lips, but didn't speak, just stepped forward to look at the picture carefully. He only looked at it for a while, and then he felt the peculiarity. In the picture, there is a person whose nipples are as red as blood, and slightly bulge upwards, which is very different from other people.
He reached out and pressed the red dot.
As expected, the mechanism was triggered, and the stone wall slowly opened.
It was still dark behind the wall. Xu Feng heard the movement and turned his head, and saw that the paint on the painting had peeled off by itself, and a thin layer of mist was diffused from the cracks in the wall.
Zhou Yan only took a breath, and then shouted: "Brother Xu, hold your breath!"
Xu Feng reacted slower, but still took a few breaths. With a sway in his figure, he felt a sweet and cloying fragrance at the end of his nose, very much like the aphrodisiac that the palace lord had used on him.
Xu Feng's hands trembled.
The Palace Mistress pretended to be romantic and didn't like to use these methods, and the occasional few times she did it was also to humiliate him. As soon as he closed his eyes, he remembered the scene where he was under the control of drugs and had sex with that person.
The white mist gradually dissipated, Zhou Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and asked him, "Brother Xu, are you okay?"
The properties of the medicine came on fiercely and fiercely, Xu Feng already felt hot all over his body, so he forced himself to suppress it and said, "It's okay."
He was afraid that Zhou Yan would not believe it, so he added: "Thank you Brother Zhou for reminding me, I wonder if this fog is poisonous?"
Zhou Yan paused, and Fang said: "It should be fine. But when walking in the rivers and lakes, it is always better to be careful."
After he finished speaking, he continued to walk forward, still ahead of Xu Feng.
Behind the stone wall is a stone room, the place is not big, there are erotic pictures painted on the four walls, and several rows of wooden shelves are nailed, and the shelves are full of various porcelain vases. There were names written on the porcelain vase, Xu Feng glanced at them, they were full of names like "Chun Qing San" and "Peach Blossom Dew", one didn't need to guess what they were used for.
Xu Feng already felt that his emotions were hard to suppress, and he felt even more unbearable when he saw these things, and he didn't want to look at them carefully. Zhou Yan looked carefully, and soon found a new mechanism from the erotic map.
The other side of the stone wall was opened by a mechanism, and behind the wall was another stone room. The room was full of beautiful things, all of which were exquisitely crafted obscenities. Xu Feng took a hasty glance, there were jade signs, Burmese bells and other things, some of which he had personally used, and some he had never seen before.
Zhou Yan went straight to find the agency on the erotic map.
The medicinal properties of Xu Feng's body had completely exploded, his whole body was unbearably hot, the sweat dripped down his forehead, and he couldn't even stand upright. Everything he saw before his eyes became blurred, but only the sound of another person's breathing became more and more audible.
He touched the cool dagger in his hand.
He gritted his teeth, and in order not to lose his composure in front of others, he quietly pulled out the dagger and pressed it against his weak right hand. Even though the veins in his right hand have been abolished, he still feels pain. The dagger is extremely sharp, and just a light swipe on the palm of his hand will cause a sharp pain.
Xu Feng trembled in pain, and his palms were soon wet with blood, but he did wake up a little bit. Over there, Zhou Yan had already opened the door of the next stone room, so he quickly followed.
The smell of books in this stone room filled the nostrils with all kinds of books. Zhou Yan flipped through them casually, and saw that there were all kinds of exercises that were combined with both books. He put it back without changing his face, and said: "It seems that this place is really a place to hide treasures. It took a lot of hard work to collect all these things."
Xu Feng had already guessed that these were all items from the Palace of Bliss, and said angrily, "It's just some harmful things!"
As he spoke, he snatched Zhou Yan's torch and burned a few books on the nearby shelf.
Zhou Yan stretched out his hand, as if wanting to stop him, "Brother Xu..."
Xu Feng asked hoarsely, "What?"
The hatred in his eyes was like the raging fire.
Zhou Yan withdrew his hand again, and said with a sigh: "It's good that you burn happily."
Xu Feng still had some rationality, and was afraid that he would really set fire to the whole stone room, so he only burned two or three books and let it go. When returning the torch to Zhou Yan, he staggered and fell into Zhou Yan's arms.
Zhou Yan hurriedly supported his arm and asked, "Brother Xu, are you okay?"
Xu Feng was speechless, just shook his head, struggling to stand still.
Now that he was so close, Zhou Yan realized that his complexion was different, and his breathing was faster than usual. As soon as he thought about it, he knew what was going on, and asked, "Did you inhale the white mist when you came in?"
"Just a little..." Xu Feng said, "Just a little..."
As he spoke, he scratched his palm with a dagger.
Zhou Yan was shocked, and quickly snatched the dagger away. When he looked at his hand again, the palm had been cut bloody by the blade. Zhou Yan's eyes trembled, and he said shyly, "I didn't give you this dagger to let you hurt yourself."
After that, he threw the dagger far away. Such a rare weapon, he didn't even look at it again, he just tore off the hem of his clothes and bandaged Xu Feng's wound.
When the bag was halfway through, Xu Feng's other hand held his hand. His palms were hot, and the heat he exhaled when he spoke was even more frighteningly hot, and he said intermittently: "Brother Zhou... I'm so uncomfortable..."
Zhou Yan even threw away the torch, wrapped his stiff arms around him, and said, "It's okay, it will pass in a while."
The torch rolled twice on the ground and went out with a "chi", and the stone room was so dark that nothing could be seen. Xu Feng felt the fire burning in his heart, and said in the dark: "It's so hot..."
Zhou Yan said: "You are poisoned by a strong aphrodisiac, it will be fine when the medicine is cured."
Xu Feng asked: "How to solve it?"
Zhou Yan suddenly fell silent.
Xu Feng was confused for a while and then sober, and when he was a little more awake, he begged him: "Brother Zhou, please give me back that dagger, I can't take it anymore..."
He clearly wanted to use pain to suppress lust, how could Zhou Yan give it to him? He didn't make a sound, just pressed Xu Feng into his arms. The two of them were so close, Zhou Yan quickly felt the heat of his lower body, and coaxed him: "Brother Xu, bear with it a little longer, it will pass soon."
Then there was a rustling sound.
When Xu Feng was held by Zhou Yan's hand, the remaining rationality was wiped out. His body was hot and cold, and with the movement of that hand, water and fire mixed together strangely. He leaned tightly on Zhou Yan, and shouted in a daze: "Brother Zhou...well, Brother Zhou..."
Zhou Yan was concentrating on pleasing his body, when he heard "Brother Zhou", he pushed the person in his arms away as if he had been stabbed hard by something.
Xu Feng's legs were already weak, but after being pushed by him like this, he couldn't stand anymore and immediately fell to the ground. Zhou Yan didn't even look at him, he walked quickly and left the stone room.
Xu Feng was lying on the ground alone, curling up impatiently. The cold ground allowed him to regain some sanity, but the heat in his body surged up wave after wave, tormenting him so much that he wanted to die. He knew how to relieve this pain, but he refused to be dominated by the medicine, he just gritted his teeth and endured it.
The dagger thrown away by Zhou Yan fell not far away, Xu Feng moved his body, crawled over little by little, and reached out to grab the dagger. As soon as the fingertip touched the blade, the dagger was kicked away.
It turned out that Zhou Yan turned around again at some point, and picked him up from the ground with a sullen face.
Xu Feng could endure it when he was alone, but when Zhou Yan touched him, his body involuntarily leaned over. He leaned in Zhou Yan's arms, and his lips gently pressed against the man's chest under the thin clothes, as if kissing.
Zhou Yan's breathing became a little quicker, but he never made a sound. He just carried him through several stone rooms, and then stopped. Xu Feng was tossed in a daze by the aphrodisiac, and he didn't know where he was, only to feel that Zhou Yan suddenly let go of his hand. His body fell straight down, and with a "crash", he fell into the icy cold water.
Xu Feng shivered a bit, shivering from the cold. He was not bad at water, struggling to jump up from the water, just took a breath, Zhou Yan held his shoulders and pushed him back into the water. Xu Feng drank a few sips of water and almost thought he was going to drown in the water before he let go.
Repeated this several times, the little fire burning in Xu Feng's body was completely extinguished by the cold water. When he surfaced again, he was completely soaked, and water beads rolled into his eyes from the ends of his hair. He wiped his face and looked at Zhou Yan through the hazy mist.
For some reason, there was a faint light in this stone room, and Zhou Yan's expression appeared dim in the light and shadow. But only for a moment, that gaze was fixed on Xu Feng's face as if the ice and snow had just melted.
Xu Feng called out: "Brother Zhou..."
Zhou Yan woke up like a dream, quickly pulled him up from the water, and asked: "Has the medicine been cured?"
Xu Feng's lips turned purple from the cold, but he just nodded.
Zhou Yan took off his outer clothes and wrapped them around him, saying, "I'm sorry, I only thought of such a way."
Xu Feng naturally wouldn't blame him. "Because it's me... Thank you, Brother Zhou, it's..."
"Thank you?" Zhou Yan smiled wryly, and said, "Thank me for throwing you into the water?"
Xu Feng didn't speak, but thought in his heart that he would rather drown in the water than show his ugly face under the influence of the aphrodisiac. He had doubts about Zhou Yan's origin at first, but now his suspicions are gone, and he thinks that apart from his eccentric temperament, he is really a gentleman.
Zhou Yan was busy for a while, and the fire was rekindled. Xu Feng put on his clothes and sat beside the fire. Looking around, he saw that the stone room was empty, without any erotic pictures. night pearl.
"Strange, why is there only one pool of water in this stone room?"
Zhou Yan paused for a moment, and said, "This place... should be a place to bathe and cleanse before dual cultivation."
Xu Feng blushed and scolded: "Licentious and shameless!"
Zhou Yan didn't answer, but just reached out and grabbed his right hand. The wound on his hand hadn't been properly bandaged, and it was soaked in water just now, and it became bloody and scary. There were a few wounds where the bones were visible. Zhou Yan couldn't help frowning when he saw it, "Why is Brother Xu so ruthless?"
Xu Feng didn't take it seriously, and said: "Anyway, this hand has long been useless."
Zhou Yan trembled imperceptibly in his hand. Although there was no expression on his face, his movements were very gentle. He sprinkled the wound medicine on Xu Feng's palm, and tore off the cloth again to wrap the wound.
After bandaging, he lowered his fingers slightly and touched the old scar on Xu Feng's wrist.
Xu Feng immediately withdrew his hand and said, "My hand is fine, please worry about it, Brother Zhou."
Zhou Yan's hand was still frozen there, and after a while, he slowly withdrew it and said, "Where is that old injury?"
"Well, the injury I suffered a few years ago has already healed."
"But your hand..."
"A person who walks in the rivers and lakes, who doesn't have a few injuries? Although I can't use my right hand, I can still practice swords with my left hand." Xu Feng didn't want to mention the past, so he just said a few casual words to get over it.
Zhou Yan didn't ask further, he looked at the fire in front of him, his eyes were as unpredictable as the fire. After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly said, "Brother Xu."
"how?"
"If a person unintentionally does something that he regrets, do you think...does he still have a chance to make up for it?"
As soon as Xu Feng heard this, he knew that he must be a person with a story. However, in this arena, who doesn't have some past events that they don't want to mention? Even he himself has such an unbearable past. Therefore, he didn't ask Zhou Yan what he had done, but thought for a while and said, "My master often said, knowing a mistake can correct it, and there is nothing good about it. Since it was an unintentional mistake, and he tried his best to make up for it afterwards, how could it be too late?"
He was just talking in general terms, casual words of reassurance. Unexpectedly, after Zhou Yan heard this, his eyes moved, and he stood up abruptly.
Xu Feng was startled by him.
Zhou Yan also knew that he had lost his sense of proportion, but he still walked back and forth for two steps before sitting back slowly and said, "Brother Xu, thank you very much."
He looked at Xu Feng through the firelight, and said, "If only my younger brother... was like you."
Xu Feng said sincerely: "Young brother is naturally much stronger than me."
At least there is such an elder brother who misses him all the time.
Although he also has an elder brother, he doesn't know whether it is life or death; although he has a master, he is afraid of dragging down the master, so he dare not go back and take a look. The world is so big that he has to walk alone.
Xu Feng had been sitting by the fire to warm himself up, and his clothes were half dry after a while. He wanted to return the coat to Zhou Yan, but Zhou Yan didn't take it, and walked over to open the door of the next stone room.
Although Xu Feng had been prepared for a long time, when the stone door opened and the stone bed in the center appeared, he still cursed "shameless".
The stone bed was made very big, even for four or five people to lie on it, it would be roomy, and the top was slightly uneven. Xu Feng took a closer look, only to realize that it was engraved with a picture of a erotic palace. I don't know what kind of skilled craftsman it is, but the characters on the picture are vividly portrayed, and even some of the obscene utensils used for entertainment are also very exquisite.
Although Xu Fengzhong's aphrodisiac had been removed, his face was still flushed.
Zhou Yan didn't care. He not only looked at it carefully, but also reached out to touch it. After thinking for a moment, he turned over and lay down.
Xu Feng shouted: "Brother Zhou!"
Zhou Yan gestured and said, "Don't make a sound."
His eyes were closed tightly, and his eyeballs rolled rapidly, and he didn't know what he was thinking about. After a while, he sat up suddenly, touched a certain place on the stone bed with his fingers, and knocked three times very regularly.
After knocking, he jumped out of the bed, and then only heard a "click", and the stone bed turned over, revealing several stone steps.
Xu Feng wondered, "How come Brother Zhou is so familiar with this institution?"
Zhou Yan didn't look back at him, but said in a low voice, "It's just some strange techniques to escape armor, and the mechanisms are similar everywhere."
Xu Feng still had doubts in his heart, but before he had time to think about it, Zhou Yan asked him: "Brother Xu, do you want to go down and have a look?"
Seeing that each of these stone rooms was worse than the last, Xu Feng was afraid that if he continued walking, he didn't know what kind of lewd things would appear. But the two of them haven't found the exit yet, so they can't give up halfway, so they can only bite the bullet and say: "Go down and have a look."
Zhou Yan still walked ahead.
This stone step is much easier to walk than the previous secret path, but it is also winding and winding, and the more you go down, the colder you feel, as if there are bursts of cold air.
Could it be that there is an ice cellar underneath
Just as Xu Feng was thinking this way, the stone steps had already come to an end. He didn't see any ice, but a stone platform with a sword stuck on it.
The sword didn't have a scabbard, and the blade was as thin as a cicada's wing. Under the dim light of the night pearl, there were faint rays of light flowing on the blade, like a pool of autumn water.
You can tell at a glance that this is a sword that cuts iron like mud.
All those who practice martial arts will not be tempted when they see such treasures. Of course Xu Feng is also an ordinary person, but when he thought that this was a thing from the Palace of Bliss, he gave up this idea again.
Zhou Yan took a few steps forward and reached out to grab the hilt of the sword. But as soon as he drew the sword, arrows shot from the surrounding walls.
Xu Feng hurriedly called out: "Brother Zhou, be careful!"
Zhou Yan reacted very quickly, and immediately swung his sword to cut down the arrows. Xu Feng knew that he was very good at kung fu. Looking at it now, he really has an elegant figure and swift movement. Even when he swings a sword, he looks like flowing clouds and flowing water.
It's just that the mechanism is very strange, the arrows are continuous, diffracted towards Zhou from all directions, and never stop. No matter how good Zhou Yan's kung fu was, when his strength was exhausted, Xu Feng couldn't help worrying secretly for him.
Zhou Yan also discovered the key point, stepped on the stone platform with both feet, and inserted the sword back.
The agency stopped immediately.
Xu Feng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It seems that this sword cannot be taken away."
Zhou Yan looked around, snorted softly, and said, "That's not necessarily the case."
He said to Xu Feng: "Brother Xu, step back."
Xu Feng was already far away, so he retreated to the stone steps as he said.
Zhou Yan closed his eyes, held the sword again, and pulled it out again. Same as last time, another arrow was shot at him. Zhou Yan didn't dodge, but used excellent lightness kung fu, flew towards the arrow, swished his sword, and directly broke the mechanism with the sharpness of the sword.
Xu Feng could only see the sleeves of his clothes fluttering and the shadow of the sword heavy. When Zhou Yan fluttered back to the ground, several organs had already been broken. He sincerely praised: "Brother Zhou is really good at kung fu."
Zhou Yan twitched the corner of his mouth, a smile appeared on his wooden face, he threw the sword to him, and said, "Brother Xu, go on."
Xu Feng took the sword with his left hand, and felt a trace of cold air coming from the sword. He was about to take a closer look, but he heard Zhou Yan say, "You don't have a self-defense weapon by your side, so use this sword first."
Xu Feng was taken aback, and said: "Brother Zhou took this risk, how can I take what others like?"
"I don't usually use a sword, and it's useless to hold it." Zhou Yan put his hands behind his back and said nonchalantly, "If Brother Xu doesn't like it, just throw it away."
Who would throw such a precious sword around for fun
Xu Feng wanted to refuse, but after some hesitation, he accepted it. He thought in his heart that this sword belonged to the Palace of Bliss, and when he finished his martial arts in the future, he would go back to the Palace of Bliss and stab the sword into the chest of the Palace Master himself, but he didn't know how happy he would be
