Chapter 90 Very Long

Yuan Gang, who came out of the back hall and came to the backyard, was vigilant about his surroundings. After approaching the well, he suddenly jumped and plunged his whole body into the well. He moved quickly and disappeared abruptly.

As soon as he entered the well, Yuan Gang split his legs and supported the well walls on both sides. Controlling the support force, he slid down slowly, letting go of his arms to keep his balance, while paying attention to the bricks on the surrounding well walls. After descending to a depth of three feet, his legs kicked against the wall of the well, and he was fixed on the well, his eyes fell on a brick with a slightly damaged corner in front of him.

There are a lot of damages on the corners of the bricks, and there is nothing unusual about this one. It is just that Yuan Gang, who was reminded, can find its abnormality. There is a symmetrical damage on the top and bottom of this brick.

Yuan Gang leaned forward and rushed forward, stretched out his hand to hold down the brick and exerted strength. It was very solid. If he hadn't been reminded, it didn't seem like there was a mechanism when he pushed the brick. After the brick was pushed in, Yuan Gang pushed hard towards the entire curved wall. A large piece of the wall opened like a pivoting trap door, but it could only be half opened.

Stretching out his hand to climb the sloping wall, Yuan Gang sneaked in, pulled out the fire pocket to take a picture, and found a torch placed beside him, lit it in his hand, looked around, and found the reason why the door could only be half-opened , There is a stone trough behind the door, and there is a big long stone in the trough. It is obviously this stone that was pushed just now, no wonder it is so heavy.

After looking at it for a while, he understood what was going on with this mechanism. With this stone strip inserted into the entrance wall to fill the gap, it was equivalent to jamming the movable door. If you don’t find this point and push it open first, you can’t think about such a thick movable door. Open easily. This mechanism seems simple and clumsy, but it is very practical. For those who do not know the trick, it is difficult to find the entrance even if they go down the well and search around.

Turning around, poking his head at the entrance to look up, he picked a piece of moss from the wall of the well, and threw it out of the well.

Seeing the moss being thrown, Niu Youdao turned his head to Yuanfang to signal, and Yuanfang walked away quickly, looked around, and quickly jumped into the well.

"Princess, it's inconvenient for you to climb down, I'll take you down." Niu Youdao turned around and reminded Shang Shuqing.

Shang Shuqing nodded and said "Yes".

Shang Chaozong immediately bowed his hands to Niu Youdao and said, "Master Dao, Wanwang protects Qing'er well."

"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, nothing will happen to the princess." Niu Youdao made a promise, implying that something will happen unless I fall down first.

Lan Ruoting also cupped his hands and said: "Princess, Daoist, take care!"

Niu Youdao and Shang Shuqing nodded and walked towards the backyard together.

Observing the surroundings and walking to the well, Niu Youdao suddenly raised his palm, and the piece of moss thrown by Yuan Gang was picked up out of thin air by him, and he swept it back into the well. With a stretch of his arm, he directly grabbed Shang Shuqing's soft waist They jumped together and fell into the well.

Shang Chaozong, who was standing at the door of the back hall watching this scene, couldn't help showing his teeth. Although it is a bit too pedantic to pay attention to whether a man and a woman give or not to kiss when something happens, but right in front of his eyes, he watched his sister being raped like this. Another man was hugged, it's really a bit of that, Qing'er is still a big girl!

Shang Chaozong couldn't help but turned around and asked, "Qing'er runs to him early in the morning every day. Could it be that he fell in love with him?"

Lan Ruoting was stunned, "The princess is a man of measure, why did the lord make such a statement? Did you see something?"

Shang Chaozong realized that he had made a slip of the tongue. How could such a thing be said nonsense, which would damage his sister's innocence, so he waved his hand in embarrassment, "No, I was thinking too much!"

And Shang Shuqing herself was startled by Niu Youdao's hug all of a sudden, her body tensed up.

Once in the well, Niu Youdao immediately cast a spell, and with the help of the buoyancy of the air, Niu Youdao carried Shang Shuqing slowly down out of thin air.

Clinging to a man at such a close distance, and still being hugged by him, feeling the man's strong arms and that masculine aura, Shang Shuqing's thoughts were messed up and her heart beat faster.

Niu Youdao seemed to feel her heart beating a little faster, and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, nothing will happen." The water well is not shallow, and he thought that the way of jumping directly down would scare the other party.

Floating to the entrance, with a hand on the door wall, he sent Shang Shuqing in first, and then he also dodged in.

As soon as the two came in, Yuan Gang reset the trap door.

Taking a deep breath slowly and calming down, Shang Shuqing pointed to the stone bar in the stone trough, and said, "Replace this top, otherwise the entrance will be easy to be found." She wanted to do it herself, but she knew that The weight of the stone bar is not something she can easily push.

Yuan Gang came back to get started, grabbed the end of the stone bar and pulled it, and the stone bar weighing more than two hundred catties stuck back with a bang, and there was a slot at the end, so don't worry about pushing it over your head.

Seeing that Niu Youdao was looking for something, Yuan Gang stopped and reminded: "I've seen it, here is a torch."

Niu Youdao turned sideways to make way, moved his hand, and motioned for him to open the way ahead, then turned around and asked Shang Shuqing, "Why only a torch?"

"There are a large number of torches stored at fixed points along the way below, enough for thousands of people to use on the way." Shang Shuqing replied, and asked curiously: "Master Dao, don't you have 'Xiaoyue' on you?"

Niu Youdao hehe said: "That glowing butterfly only recognizes one owner, I haven't had a chance to raise it yet, I will definitely get one to raise it someday."

He didn't, and Yuan Fang didn't touch them, and they didn't. For the time being, the group could only move forward with a torch in Yuan Gang's hand.

The light of the fire was shaking all the way in the tunnel, and there were irregularly winding stone steps at the foot. It was estimated that they had descended hundreds of meters deep, and there was a faint sound of rushing water at the end. Niu Youdao immediately asked again, "Underground river?"

Shang Shuqing replied: "Yes, it's a very long underground river."

Walking to the end of the descending steps, you can see the water flow, and the water flow is fast in the dark. Yuan Gang shines the torch in his hand, and in the large underground space, the cool water flows from the top to the bottom. With the light of the torch, he can't see it the other side.

"Torch!" Yuan Fang shouted, pointing to the side.

Several people looked back, and saw a cave on the side, full of neatly stacked torches.

Several people went over and took one each and lit it in their hands, and the viewing distance immediately widened a lot.

"Which way are you going?" Yuan Gang asked.

Shang Shuqing: "Upstream."

The few people then went upstream along the river, and turned so many times on the winding stone steps, now even Niu Youdao couldn't figure out where they were going, which direction they were going. . And the road here is obviously formed naturally, rough and uneven, but not as easy to walk as the previous artificially dug passage.

"Princess, give me the things." Niu Youdao pointed to a large pile of things that Shang Shuqing was carrying on her back. The road is not easy to walk, and it is inconvenient for this woman to carry a heavy package.

Shang Shuqing declined politely: "No, I can move my back."

Niu Youdao took the package directly from her shoulder, and handed it to Yuan Fang behind him, "Old Xiong, carry it. You are used to staying in the mountains and forests, go ahead and lead the way. Monkey, the back is broken."

"Yeah!" Yuan Fang nodded, took the package and slipped it around his neck, then hung it obliquely under the other shoulder, held the torch and obediently ran forward, very obedient.

Shang Shuqing was speechless, thinking that Niu Youdao was going to show off his style and help her recite it, but he didn't expect it to be recited for others.

Not only that, Niu Youdao took off the package on his body, and handed it to Yuan Gang who passed by.

Yuan Gang didn't need to say hello, and directly received the back of his hand on his body.

Niu Youdao followed Yuanfang, putting Shang Shuqing behind him, and Yuan Gang at the end. The few of them moved forward in a rough and uneven way.

After walking for a while, Niu Youdao asked, "Master, have you been here before?"

Shang Shuqing: "No, it's my first time here."

Niu Youdao stopped and turned around, frowned and said, "Haven't you come here to lead us?"

Shang Shuqing explained: "There are many forks in the road, and I know the secret marks to distinguish them, so I can avoid wrong roads."

"There are many forks in the road?" Niu Youdao was suspicious, "Are you going to walk underground for a long time?"

Shang Shuqing: "Under normal circumstances, it takes several days to walk. This underground river is really long."

a few days? Going underground for days? The few people couldn't believe it, they looked at her together, and finally understood why they had to bring so much dry food, and it was really useful.

Niu Youdao reckoned a little, that the secret realm is probably not in Canglu County, but the entrance is here, he couldn't help but hehe, "King Ning really knows how to find it, and it can be connected at such a long distance."

Shang Shuqing: "I didn't find it on purpose, but my father fought in this area in the early years, and the soldiers who wandered below accidentally found this underground river. They didn't find it until they walked out. They found another place, and my father organized people later. Come here to determine the route."

Niu Youdao said oh, and remembered one thing. When he was negotiating at Nanshan Temple, he suspected that Shang Dynasty Zong had a secret way to go to sea. He couldn't help looking back up and down, wondering whether the secret way to go to sea was related to this underground passage. , The direction of the water flow is generally to the sea in the end. I looked at the downstream direction more and put it in my heart.

Keep going, the road ahead is changeable, most of them are natural rugged landforms, there are traces of digging for easy passage in really difficult and dangerous places, some places need to be covered by cats to pass, some places need to climb uphill, and some places It is impossible to get through the place at all, and it can only be passed with the help of iron chains nailed to the wall. Of course, for people like Niu Youdao, the latter two situations are not a lot of trouble. Niu Youdao dragged Shang Shuqing across the place where he was climbing a slope or crossing an iron chain.

Under normal circumstances, the rough roads had little effect on Shang Shuqing. After the Ning Palace was defeated, Shang Shuqing practiced for a while in order to improve herself. Her hands and feet are still strong, and she is still stronger than ordinary women who stay in the boudoir and embroider. Less.

Going on at such a speed, Niu Youdao took the matter of domesticating the lighting butterfly 'Xiaoyue' to heart. If there was Xiaoyue lighting to explore the way, he could take Shang Shuqing to fly quickly in this underground space and use a torch to explore the way. Otherwise, the fast skimming will be blown out.
