Life is like playing a big game of chess, there are always so many coincidences and luck. I didn't expect that this crippled thing would really make me lucky. After picking up a few threads, suddenly there was a flash of light in front of my eyes, and I found that the surroundings had changed and returned to the original cave. I was delighted, carefully put the crippled thing into the bag, and stood up with a flashlight.
The pile of bones was still there, but the ebony was gone. The murals were still the same, except for the dead fox. The portrait was not of a dead fox, but of a woman with black hair all over her face. I knew it was Shen Bing without a second glance. I ran over excitedly and touched the mural. Damn it, it was not a fake, but a real porcelain painting. I knew that the other party had used evil magic to seal Shen Bing inside, but I couldn't find any flaws.
Shen Bing looked at me, her facial expression motionless, but two bloody tears flowed from her blood-red eyes.
I slapped the cold stone wall, feeling very uncomfortable, and comforted Shen Bing, saying, "Don't worry, I will find a way to get you out."
At this moment, a sigh suddenly came from behind. It was a woman's voice. I turned around in surprise and shone my flashlight over there. I found two women, one fat and one thin, standing at the opposite tunnel entrance. I was stunned. It was Da Jiaoxian and his daughter Qingling!
Why are the two of them here? When did Qing Ling come back to life
"Mr. Xi must be very surprised to see us, mother and daughter?" Big Foot Immortal walked over with a serious expression, and Qingling followed behind with her head down.
I thought to myself, what's the point of being surprised? I went down from Longtou Well, and you must have guessed that this was the entrance to Duanlong Village, so you followed me here. I didn't answer her question, but asked her, "When did Qingling come back?"
"Just after you left, the God returned my magic power to me, and also gave my Qingling back to me." Big Foot Immortal said with a slightly sad look on his face.
I glanced at Qingling who had a wooden expression on her face and said to her, "Congratulations, great immortal. We've encountered a difficult problem now, and it's a good thing that you're here. How do you think we can solve it?" Then I pointed to the mural behind me.
The Big Foot Immortal shook his head and said, "It cannot be solved unless we go into Duanlong Village and find the heir of the Cao family."
I thought to myself, this is nonsense, I know it without you telling me. Because I was anxious, I didn't bother to say more, I turned around and walked towards the west tunnel entrance. As I walked, I asked, "Do you want to go to Duanlong Village with me, Great Immortal?"
"Yes, we mother and daughter are here to lend a helping hand to you. I want Qingling to kill the heir of the Cao family with her own hands to avenge her!" Big Foot Immortal said gritting his teeth, while Qingling remained expressionless and silent.
I thought to myself that it was good that the little girl was able to survive and was so strong, without crying, making a scene, or even hanging herself. So I said to them, "Let's go now."
Big Foot Fairy agreed and followed his daughter. The three of us entered the tunnel and bent forward. The pile of bones was still the same. We would see a pile not far away, but we never saw the place where the sky lantern was cultivated. After walking more than a mile, there was a three-way intersection. Looking at the two forks in front, I didn't know which way to go. I thought the tunnel would lead directly to Duanlong Village, but Cao's bastards were not that simple. They had two roads, and one of them was obviously fake to lure outsiders.
I turned around and looked at the Big Foot Fairy. She had closed her eyes and was calculating something with her right hand. Most witches and sorcerers pretended to be like this, but the Big Foot Fairy was a real witch and could calculate the truth with her fingers. After a moment, the Big Foot Fairy opened her eyes and said, "Go left!"
We then entered the tunnel on the left, but the further we walked, the more we felt something was wrong. After walking a long way, we could no longer see the pile of bones. This was a very abnormal signal. The pile of bones was not only a formation set up by the dead foxes to raise evil treasures, but also a signpost to the Broken Dragon Village.
I asked Big Foot Fairy: "Did we take the wrong road?"
The big-footed fairy shook his head and said, "No, this is the right way, and in less than a mile, we will reach Duanlong Village."
I thought it was only less than a mile away, so I might as well walk to the end and see what happened. The Big Foot Immortal's ability to count fingers was really not fake. As expected, after walking nearly a mile, I saw the exit. I leaned out and saw that it was a well. It was not yet dawn, and looking out from the high well mouth, I saw a starry sky.
As the saying goes, if you sit in a well and look at the sky, you can only see a little bit of the night sky. I finally experienced the feeling of a toad. The bottom of this well is surprisingly dry, without any water stains. Standing here and looking up, I was worried again. This well is about ten meters deep. How can I get up without a rope
Big Foot Fairy said behind me: "Don't worry, the rope will come down soon."
I was stunned: "Could it be that the descendants of Cao knew we were coming and put out ropes to welcome us?"
"No, there is a mechanism here."
Oh, I understand. The descendants of the Cao family always have to wait for people to hang down the rope when they go in and out of Duanlong Village. It's so troublesome. If we use a mechanism to make an automatic elevator, everything will be solved. The big-foot fairy may have found the mechanism behind. Soon, I saw a rope as thick as my wrist slowly hanging down from the well mouth. I tied the rope around my waist and pulled it down. It was quite strong. Then I crossed my hands and stepped on the well wall with my feet. I quickly got out of the well mouth.
I came out and found that the rope was coiled on the windlass. There was no one near the well. I turned around and looked around. The shadows of wooden houses were hidden behind the trees. In the dark night, they were as eerie as tombs. I thought to myself that the Cao family bastards probably didn't know we were coming, otherwise they would have ambushed here long ago. When I emerged from the well, I would launch a surprise attack and I would report to the underworld.
I untied the rope and threw it down, waiting for them to move, and then I would work with them to turn the windlass to pull them up. After waiting for a long time, there was no movement from below, and I shook the rope, but it was still empty. I felt something was wrong, thinking that the old woman had stood me up. I shone the flashlight down and vaguely saw that there was no one at the bottom of the well. Damn it, the two of them were gone.
I pulled my head back, thinking that no matter whether the Big Foot Fairy was deceiving me or was in danger, I would go into the village first to see what was going on. In terms of ability, the Big Foot Fairy is better than me. She has "superior magical power", while I only have the ability to exorcise ghosts and rags. If she encounters danger, she can't solve it, let alone me, so there is no need to worry about her.
This well is the same as the one in Longtou Village, right in the center of the village, and the layout of the wooden house is similar, there is nothing different. I walked along a small path, not daring to turn on the flashlight, and walked forward in the dark. When I got to the front, I saw a wooden house leaning against the mountain wall, located between several big trees. The more I looked at it, the more familiar it looked. Oh my god, this can't be Longwei Village, outside the gate of the Big Foot Immortal's home
I plucked up my courage and walked up to it, pushed the door open and peeked inside. I vaguely saw the situation in the house. There was a pile of dirt under the bed. I realized that this was really Longwei Village. I missed my stop!
