Sun Daoxian held an umbrella and looked helplessly at the person squatting under the tree, with a faint worry in his eyes, "You are so big, my umbrella can't cover two people, it covers you, and I cover myself Got wet."
In fact, Sun Daoxian had never seen Chunxiu weeping so loudly, his crying was mixed with despair. In fact, he also understands that Li Wang and his wife seem to be in a life-and-death situation, and they might lose their lives if they don't do it well, and Shen Zhimao's rash involvement will undoubtedly only cost them their lives in vain.
But now, Shen Zhi has disappeared, so what else
Chunxiu wiped the tears from her face fiercely, but her eye sockets were hot, and hot things still rolled out of them.
"Don't cry!" Sun Daoxian was holding an umbrella, but he was drenched in the rain, "You are crying... you are fat and ugly, so ugly! If you don't cry, you are a happy fat man."
Bo Yu's eyes were scarlet, "I don't believe I can't find Shen Zhi! This place is so big, it must be hidden! Last time I made it through so hard, this time it will definitely work! It will definitely work! Auntie, don't be discouraged, We will definitely find it, even if we don't believe in ourselves, we should believe in Shen Zhi!"
"Look, what Bo Yu said is right, self-pity is the most useless thing. Who knew you were crying here? With this strength, you might as well look for it. Maybe Shen Zhi will have found it after you've been crying for a while." Isn't it?" Sun Daoxian looked at the damn rain, his whole face twisted.
Chunxiu stood up, her face pale and pale.
It seems to make sense!
"Crying is the most useless thing." Sun Daoxian shoved the umbrella into Chunxiu's hand, "The more critical the time, the more you have to protect yourself. Later, you provoked the wind and cold, and you have to be served by others, let alone I want to find Shen Zhi!"
"Here, here!" Ah You seemed to have discovered something extraordinary, "My lord, the slave found a cave at the foot of the mountain. There seemed to be something strange inside. I don't know what it was for. Now, the slave let People are staring at it, young master, do you want to go and have a look?"
Bo Yu frowned slightly, "Go! Go and have a look!"
"yes!"
Everyone followed behind, not knowing what was in this strange cave.
"Could it be a blood hole?" Chunxiu asked.
"I've thought about this question too, but I don't think it's likely to be a blood hole." Bo Yu's expression darkened, "Fifth Uncle's hiding place is so secret, if he can be found this way, how did he hide for so many years?"
Sun Daoxian nodded, "It makes sense! It makes sense!"
"Look at it, servant. It doesn't look like a blood hole, but it looks like an altar. Some spells are drawn very strangely!" Ah You paused for a moment, then looked at Bao Yu thoughtfully, "My lord, what do you want?" Why don't you go in for the time being, let's go and see what's going on first?"
The little prince is already lost, if something happens to Bo Yu, what should I do
I'm afraid that a group of people will have to be buried with them.
There is indeed a cave in the hidden place under the mountain.
Ah You explained, "If it wasn't for the rain that washed away the sand around the cave entrance, we would never have found the cave. Weeds and vines were used to cover the cave entrance, so we might not be able to see it even if we looked carefully." There are clues. The servant went to look around inside, only to feel that the inside is very weird, it does not look like an ordinary natural cave, and there are some traces of man-made excavation on the walls."
When they arrived at the entrance of the cave, the rain outside became heavier, so Bo Yu asked everyone to follow into the cave.
A few people were left to guard the entrance of the cave, and others followed into the cave to have a look.
Chunxiu silently stroked the butcher's knife pinned to his waist, heaving a sigh of relief in his heart, Sun Daoxian was frightened to death, curled up and hid behind Chunxiu, using Chunxiu as a shield, he walked on tiptoe.
Ayou protected Bao Yu, and walked slowly inside, "The moss on the rock wall looks very new, it should have grown recently, and the color is not deep, so I think that someone should have been here in this cave recently. been active.”
"Recently?" Bo Yu hesitated, "Isn't it the fifth uncle and the others in the near future? Or that monster Lu."
Could this be Lu Rujing's lair
Thinking of this, Chunxiu didn't know whether it was from the cold, or her heart was cold, and she couldn't stop shivering.
If this is really where Lu Rujing lived, it would be really scary!
Fortunately, no.
"This doesn't seem to be the place where that monster lived." Bo Yu followed behind Ah You, "It doesn't smell like that weird insect smell, but there is also a rotten smell, but it's a little... a little..."
"It's the scent of sandalwood!" Sun Daoxian said, "I'm most familiar with this smell."
Bo Yu was puzzled, "Why are you most familiar with the scent of sandalwood?"
Sun Daoxian laughed dryly, how should I say this
It's hard to say that I often run to the gate of the temple, just waiting for the ladies of those aristocratic families, or whoever's daughter, when they get off the sedan chair, poke their heads to peek, and occasionally look at the ones they like, and have to go up to show off their "" Talent" and "talent"
"I was in poor health when I was a child, so my mother often took me to temples, praying to gods and worshiping Buddha a lot, and naturally there are gods and Buddhas to bless me." Sun Daoxian panicked, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, and what he said was quite reasonable.
"Praying to God and worshiping Buddha is worse than doing more good deeds." Chunxiu tightened her grip on the knife, not daring to relax her vigilance.
After walking out of the narrow mountain path, the front suddenly opened up, and there was a round platform, and a big tripod was placed in the center of the round platform.
"What is this?" Chunxiu was puzzled.
Bo Yu had never seen it before, so he walked up the steps slowly and approached the cauldron.
"Is it a big tripod?" Bo Yu asked.
"I think this thing is like Dr. Shen's refining furnace." Chunxiu put away the knife and walked around the cauldron with her waist in her hand. "Not to mention what it is, but... why did it appear?" How did you make it here?"
Thinking of this, Chunxiu stretched out her hand to give her a hug.
It can't be carried by one person at all, and at least two people can lift it.
"This thing is too big!" Sun Daoxian tapped it twice with his knuckles.
Everyone's expressions changed suddenly in shock, and they all stared at him instantly.
"I..." Sun Daoxian was stunned for a moment, "I'm just trying to see, what is this thing made of? But now I understand, it's definitely not gold and silver!"
Saying this is tantamount to not saying it.
"Who would put gold and silver here? Are you out of your mind?" Chunxiu rolled her eyes, "I just think this thing looks familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere before."
"Aunt Chunxiu really thinks, where did she meet her?" Bo Yu asked.
Chunxiu nodded, "I don't have a very good memory. If Zhi'er was here, I would be able to..."
Speaking of this, Chunxiu silently shut up, yes... Zhier is lost, they are looking for Zhier.
Shen Zhi is so smart and has a good memory, if he is here, he must be able to see the clues.
"If Shen Zhi was here, he would be able to come up with something famous because of his knowledge and memorization!" Bo Yu's voice was choked up, and he walked down the steps silently, looking at the whole stone platform, a little dazed.
"Is there any magical effect of putting this thing here?" Sun Daoxian asked while rubbing his chin.
Chun Xiuqi didn't hit a single point, "Any fool should laugh. Such a huge monster must have a magical effect when placed here. The key question now is, what is this magical effect? It can't be placed here to absorb the world. Reiki?"
In a cave, there is no aura to speak of, it's just Yin Qi!
Bo Yu asked, "Or some kind of bug?"
The hairs on Sun Daoxian's whole body stood up, "Don't talk nonsense, how could there be any bugs in this place? I'm most afraid of bugs, there can't be bugs."
"Maybe there will be poisonous snakes!" Chunxiu snorted softly.
What does it mean for a big man to hide behind her all the time
"These eight stone pillars standing on the edge of the round platform are all engraved with special characters and some patterns. It looks very strange, and the slaves can't understand what this drama means?" Ah You pointed to the eight pillars. stone pillars.
On the edge of the round platform, there are eight circular stone pillars, each of which is engraved with vivid phoenix patterns. There is a bright pearl in Fenghuang's mouth. It used to be a pair of dragons playing with a pearl, but now it looks like a phoenix seeking a phoenix.
"I think this is a special ceremony in some tribes." Chunxiu frowned, "The lines on the stone pillars seem familiar! Look, don't these five-pointed stars look like the ones Dr. Shen met before?" Those things?"
Bo Yu hurriedly leaned forward, stretched out his hand to gently caress the lines on the stone pillar, then looked at the phoenix carving, "Is it... Phoenix Gu?"
He gets along with Shen Zhi day and night, and Shen Zhi doesn't hide many things from him.
In the past, Bo Yu only pretended that she didn't know, even when Bu Tang mentioned these things to Shen Zhi, Bo Yu just went in with one ear and out with the other. Those things are Shen Zhi's secrets, and Bo Yu will not tell them to death.
unless…
Shen Zhi encountered danger.
"Looks like it's a bit..." Ah You frowned, not daring to continue.
"Pentagram, Minghua, but it has no eyes!" Bo Yu looked around, "Everyone look around, where is the eye in the center of the pentagram?"
"Looking for eyes?" Second Monk Sun Daoxian was puzzled.
What eyes are you looking for
"Shen Zhi showed me the painting at the beginning, and I remember it was composed of three parts, and it was the symbol of the guardian." Bo Yu ran quickly in the cave, "Quickly, look for it! Find an eye mark! Hurry up! "
"Okay!" Chunxiu turned around and went to look for it.
Everyone was looking for it, but Sun Daoxian curled his lips and shook his wet clothes, probably because he felt cold, he shivered subconsciously, walked slowly onto the round platform, and stood leaning against the cauldron, "Eyes? What eyes are you looking for? The eyes are naturally on the face! It's really strange!"
Seeing a group of people turning around, Sun Daoxian covered his mouth and snickered, "What a bunch of idiots."
Everyone searched the cave inch by inch, Ayou even flew up, and even searched the stone wall at the top of the cave, but he didn't see any signs of eyes. The flowers of the underworld are everywhere, except for the eye of rebirth.
"No!" Ah You shook his head, "Master, do you really remember correctly? Are there really eye marks?"
Bo Yu stepped onto the round platform and looked around with a cold face, "It stands to reason that I can't remember wrongly, Shen Zhi has such a good memory, and what I see is all drawn by him, unless he made a mistake!"
No, Bao Yuning made a mistake in his memory.
Shen Zhi is so smart, he will never remember wrongly.
So what is the problem
"Yu'er, I really couldn't find it!" Chunxiu panted, "I searched everything!"
"The servant asked everyone to search every inch, for fear that there might be a mezzanine or a secret room mechanism, but all the stone walls here are solid, which means that there is no secret room here. This is just a cave with such a thing in it, nothing out of the ordinary Something special!" Ah You saluted.
Bo Yu shook her head, "Impossible! Impossible! Phoenix Gu, Minghua, and Pentagram, unless there is something we didn't expect, it must be something we overlooked!"
"I also believe in Yu'er!" Chunxiu calmed down and thought about it, "You and Zhi'er have been together, he knows, and you must know some of them. I also saw some of these patterns at Dr. Shen's, so I think What you said should be true, but we can't find it! Be more careful, everyone, and search again, maybe there are still corners that haven't been found!"
Sun Daoxian poured cold water beside him, curled his lips and sat on the ground to rest, "Oh, I've seen this place all at once, why do you search it a second time? Why don't you just sit down and have a good rest."
"Shut up!" Chunxiu said coldly, "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will throw you out in the rain, and let you freeze to death outside."
"No conscience, it's a shame I gave you an umbrella just now!" Sun Daoxian hummed twice, and stopped talking if he was unhappy.
This son is not happy, this son ignores you!
"Everyone search again!" Bo Yu ordered, "Be careful, be careful, search every inch, don't miss any clue."
"Yes!" Ah You took the order.
Sun Daoxian leaned on Dading's calf leisurely and contentedly, watching a group of people circling in front of him like ants on a hot pot, maybe he was tired of watching, and wanted to sleep when he closed his eyes.
In the dream, there are chicken, duck and fish, delicacies from mountains and seas, beauties like clouds, and...
"Hey!" With a kick on the back, Sun Daoxian suddenly slid down the steps like a dead fish that slipped out.
Chunxiu cried out in a muffled voice, but it was too late.
Sun Daoxian's face hit the ground first, and the moment he opened his eyes, screams like killing a pig resounded throughout the cave.
"I-I just think that you will catch wind and cold if you sleep in wet clothes, so..." Chunxiu hurriedly ran down the steps, "Who knew that I used too much force and kicked you!"
Sun Daoxian's face was almost rubbed off, but fortunately he has a thick skin...
Even so, half of his face immediately became red and swollen.
"I'm suffering from the wind and cold, it's obviously terrible, it's killing me!" Sun Daoxian almost didn't cry, and his eyes turned red when he covered his face, "You can't use your hands, you have to use your feet? Your own hands are not strong enough. It's not that I don't know how old it is, I still use my feet now... "
Chun Xiu swallowed sharply, "I, I didn't do it on purpose, get up quickly."
"Don't!" Sun Daoxian exclaimed.
The next moment, only a "crack" sound was heard.
Even Bo Yu trembled with his heart, and only two words came to his mind: It's over!
"Ah, my waist..." Sun Daoxian screamed like a pig.
Chunxiu hurriedly let go, Ayou hurried forward, led others to help Sun Daoxian up, and carefully lifted him to sit under the round platform.
"You really want my life!" Sun Daoxian cried in pain, "You stinky bitch, you kindly treat yourself like a donkey's liver and lungs, and I even held up an umbrella for you, but you broke my waist, mother... I'm so happy Miserable..."
"Stop howling!" Bo Yu rubbed his brows, "Howling like killing a pig, how ugly it sounds, are you still a man?"
Sun Daoxian twitched bitterly, "Then try it, you almost broke me in two, I... eh? What is this?"
Even if Bo Yu went down the steps, Chunxiu rushed over.
Just beside where Sun Daoxian was sitting, there was a raised stone, which seemed different from the surrounding stones. It's not a decoration, but it looks like it was done on purpose.
"What is this?" Bo Yu was puzzled.
Ah You thought for a while, "My lord, you and Miss Chunxiu, take your son back and let the servants try it! If there is danger, you should leave the cave as soon as possible and don't linger."
"Ayou?" Bo Yu was shocked.
"Ayou is not afraid of anything!" Ah You bowed his head, "As long as you can save the little prince and help the young master, even if you can save the young prince's life here, it will be worth it! Young master, hurry up! If the young prince is missing If there is no news of the little prince, I'm afraid..."
The longer it takes to find someone, the more accidents will happen.
"Quick, give me a hand!" Sun Daoxian thought for a while, and finally ordered Chunxiu, "Carry me on your back, or you won't leave!"
Chunxiu gave him a hard look, then turned her head to look at Bo Yu, "Yu'er, back off quickly, wait until I get rid of this idiot."
Bo Yu nodded, and quickly retreated to the narrow part of the cave, which is where they came in just now.
"Back me!" Sun Daoxian stopped talking, with a natural and arrogant attitude.
"Heh!" Chunxiu bent down, hugged Sun Daoxian horizontally, and walked quickly towards the entrance of the cave.
Everyone was stunned: "..."
"Sun Daoxian, let me tell you, if it wasn't for Mrs. Hou's sake, my aunt would have thrown you here and buried you with a stone, lest you, a hypocritical ghost, harm everyone." Chunxiu gritted her teeth and warned.
Sun Daoxian was stunned, he just asked her to carry him out, but he didn't expect this woman...
Well, it's quite comfortable to hug, it's just this posture, why do you feel something is wrong
It stands to reason, isn't it all men hugging women
Why did he become a woman hugging a man when he came here
Sun Daoxian sighed helplessly, who let his small body not be enough for Chunxiu to cut it off!
After everyone retreated and made sure that if there was an accident, everyone could escape smoothly, Ah You quickly pushed down the raised stone.
There was a loud noise, and the first reaction of all the guards was to protect Bo Yu.
Ah You flew up and rushed outward.
But the next moment, it was Bo Yu who exclaimed, "Look! That big cauldron has sunk!"
After the loud bang, there was a strong tremor in the cave, and rubble continued to fall from the top, but it was just some small rubble, and there was nothing serious about it.
The big cauldron on the round platform was sinking slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"What's going on here?" Chunxiu looked shocked, "What... is there under this thing?"
There was only a rumbling sound, and the entire cauldron sank completely in the center of the round platform. Afterwards, a stone slab quickly closed, hiding the cauldron. It was so tight that it was impossible to see that such a huge thing had been let go.
"Eyes!" Ah You shouted, "Master, it's the eyes! It's the eyes!"
Although Ah You was vaguely excited, Bo Yu understood, pushed away the guards protecting him, and rushed up to the round platform like crazy, and clearly saw that at the place where the cauldron disappeared, there was an eye .
"Eyes!" Bo Yu was excited, "It's the protector! It's the mark of the protector! That's right, that's right, this place is left by the protector, and the nearby moss marks are still very new. Nearby!"
Will Shen Zhi be around
"Sit down!" Chunxiu quickly put Sun Daoxian down.
The coolness came from the back, so cold that Sun Daoxian shivered instantly, inexplicably missing Chunxiu's warm embrace... The ground is also cold, it really makes him uncomfortable everywhere.
"Look, aunt, it's the eyes, I'm right!" Bo Yu hurriedly pointed to the eye mark on the ground.
Chunxiu nodded, "Should this be the place where the guardians used to offer sacrifices? Look at these pillars and these lines."
Bo Yu was taken aback, "Altar?"
"Maybe it is!" Chunxiu was a little worried, "This altar is still new, and there have been people active recently, maybe those people will come again. As for what we want to do, we will ask when the time comes!"
"Auntie, you mean to sit on the sidelines?" Bo Yu blinked.
In this cave, the side can be seen at a glance, so it is not convenient to hide, and it is impossible to hide here.
"At that time, we'll wait outside and watch whoever comes in and out of this cave, turn around and block the entrance, so that person won't be able to escape!" Chunxiu looked at the eye pattern on the ground, feeling a little inexplicably anxious.
She remembered that Ah Luo explained to her that it is normal to have eyes closed, and if the eyes are opened...
Well, the eye is open, so there must be a big conspiracy here.
Chunxiu hasn't read any books, so she can't explain the big reasons, but she saw that the hunters in the mountains all dig holes to let the animals jump down, they probably have the same reasoning!
"I know what Auntie means, just sit on the sidelines and wait for the rabbit!" Bo Yu frowned, "That's all!"
After the rain stopped, everyone exited the cave, Ah You led people to thoroughly clean up the traces in the cave, and returned everything to the original place, so as not to be seen by others.
After finishing all this, Bo Yu led the others to hide outside the cave, lying in ambush quietly, only waiting for the prey to come.
Since it is the guardian's cave, it is reasonable to say that it will also be the guardian of the clan. Shen Zhi is the young master of the clan, so even if it falls into their hands, he should not suffer too much.
Didn't that Luo Nanchen already serve Shen Zhi
It should be... nothing will happen, right
It was quiet at night, and there was no movement inside or outside the cave.
Bo Yu blew the wind all night, but he didn't wait for the owner of the cave to appear, and there seemed to be no movement during the day, but no one dared to move, so he could only stay in place and continue to ambush.
No one knows, when will the owner of this cave appear
one day
two days
a month
two months
or, longer...
"When will this be?" Sun Daoxian said with a bitter face, "Chunxiu, I'm hungry..."
Chunxiu gave him a hard look, "Shut up!"
