Chapter 61 [Cave Battle] (1)
Everyone's hope was placed on the map in Yan Tianxin's hands. I believe that Yan Tianxin can lead them to find a way out and escape from Lingtian Castle. The surroundings were terrible and no bandits immediately caught up. The road they walked was not ambushed.
However, everyone did not dare to relax their vigilance. The blind man had already reached the forefront of the team. Among these people, only he had the ability to see things at night. Although Yan Tianxin had a torch in his hand, his eyesight was limited by the fire. However, the blind man had undergone a complete transformation in this dark environment, and his eyesight was more than ten times higher than during the day.
Several people stopped in front of an iron gate. The iron gate was not locked. Luo Lie and the blind man walked over and pulled the iron gate open. A gloomy wind suddenly blew from inside, and everyone couldn't help but startled. The torch in Yan Tianxin's hand was also blown by the wind, and the flames rushed to the back. Yan Tianxin subconsciously raised the torch a little. The torch was about to burn out, and Zhang Changgong walked up and wrapped the cloth strips stained with gasoline on it. The flames quickly turned from weak to strong.
The blind man looked inside and couldn't help but exclaim. Although Luo Lie tried his best to open his eyes, he still couldn't see what was inside. Fortunately, Yan Tianxin came to him and leaned out to the torch. The fire illuminated the front. A plank road winded and stretched forward. Luo Lie felt puzzled in his heart, why was there a plank road in the cave? When his eyes adapted to the light inside, he realized that it was a huge empty mountain belly, and there was an unfathomable valley below, and I don't know how deep it was. Those plank roads were built against the rock wall.
The blind man's voice sounded in his ears: "This seems like a mine." He trembled obviously when he spoke. The blind man was afraid of heights and was scared to death when he sat on the Lingtian Castle. The plank roads in front of him were basically built with wooden boards, and the widest place was less than one meter. What's even more terrifying is that the plank road was built on a cliff and spiral down along the rock wall. The plank road and the cliff wall were also supported by logs, and there was no handrail next to it. If you were not careful, you would fall into the deep valley and fall into pieces.
Yan Tianxin was the first to walk onto the plank road. With her light weight, the wooden boards made a squeaking sound, making people worried that the wooden board might break at any time.
The blind man took a breath of air conditioning, his legs were already trembling as if they were shaking. Luo Lie patted the blind man on the shoulder out of comfort. The blind man screamed in fear.
Luo Lie said: "Don't be afraid, you hold my shoulders and don't look at my feet!"
The blind man said bitterly: "I can't die. My weight and this thin plate can't bear it at all."
Yan Tianxin had already walked to the corner of the plank road, and Arnold and Park Changjie followed. Zhang Changgong was responsible for taking care of Zhou Xiaodie, so he naturally could not take care of the blind man. Luo Lie signaled them to leave first, and he and the blind man broke the back, but Zhou Xiaodie suddenly said, "Brother An, can you accompany me?"
The blind man looked at Zhou Xiaodie, then looked at the bottom of the valley, and swallowed.
Zhou Xiaodie said, "I don't recognize anyone except you..." When he said this, his heart felt sad and he couldn't help but burst into tears.
When the blind man saw the crystal tears on Zhou Xiaodie's cheeks, he suddenly felt a sense of courage. He nodded heavily and took Zhou Xiaodie's hand to the plank road. Luo Lie and Zhang Changgong escorted them one by one.
The more Yan Tianxin walked, the more solemn Yan Tianxin looked. Judging from everything in front of her, it should be a mine, and it was still in the process of mining. Yan Tianxin didn't care what was dug in this mine. What made her worried was that the mine was not marked on her map.
A rock stood out in front of him, and everyone had to bow their heads to pass. The blind man seemed to have overcome his psychological fear at this moment, stretched out his palm, and reminded Zhou Xiaodie to pass carefully.
Luo Lie turned around and couldn't help but smile on his face. The blind man actually knew how to be considerate of others. What surprised him even more was that the blind man could overcome the fear in his heart and accompany them to the lingkong plank road. Of course, this was not his own. Luo Lie's eyes fell on Zhou Xiaodie, full of sympathy for this blind girl who had just lost her father. At this moment, another figure appeared in his heart, Sparrow! Since Sparrow was captured by Lan Ximei, he had lost the news. One of the conditions for his choice to cooperate with Yan Tianxin is to rescue Sparrow, but now it seems that Yan Tianxin is already in danger of protection, so what ability does he have to save Sparrow?
Thinking of the sparrow who was likely to remain in the prison, Luo Lie felt an unspeakable guilt. Did they just leave like this? Regardless of the sparrow's life or death, let her die?
The blind man coughed gently, and Luo Lie woke up from his brief contemplation.
The blind man patted his shoulder and said, "Stay the green mountains and don't worry about the lack of firewood. Let's survive first!" He met Luo Lie since childhood. Although the blind man could not guarantee to see through Luo Lie, he always knew him more than others. The blind man obviously guessed what Luo Lie was thinking at the moment.
Luo Lie smiled, "Yes, let's survive first." If you insist on saving the sparrow, it will inevitably cause more sacrifices. He cannot let all his companions and himself fall into a dangerous situation again because of his own decision. The sparrow is a good person and a heavenly person. Such a good girl should be favored by God, not to mention that she also has magical lock-opening skills, and the prison cell cannot trap her.
It took them nearly half an hour to walk across the plank road. The exit was above the rock wall. Yan Tianxin stopped in the wide area. When Luo Lie followed, she whispered to Luo Lie: "The path here seems to be completely different from the map."
Luo Lie took the old map painted on the sheepskin from her hand and looked closely. It was different from the map he knew. He returned the map awkwardly: "When did this map come from?"
"During the Jingkang period of the Great Song Dynasty!"
Luo Lie looked at Yan Tianxin with a shocked look. She actually took a map from the Song Dynasty to find a way out. You must know that it has been almost eight hundred years since the Jingkang period. Lingtian Castle has changed hands many times, but I don’t know what changes it has experienced.
Yan Tianxin was also a little embarrassed and whispered: "I didn't expect there would be such a big change here." There was no mark on the map, and the bottom of Lingtian Castle was almost hollowed out.
Luo Liedao: "No one is a god who is as good as a god, but since they are mining here, they should have a way to transport minerals. It is impossible to rely on the plank road above alone."
Arnold's surprise voice came from ahead: "Trail! Track!"
All of them surrounded them, and sure enough, they saw two tracks appearing in front of them. The blind man blinked, then scratched the back of his head and said, "Is there a train in this cave?" In his perception, the railway tracks are naturally used to run trains.
Arnold looked at the blind man with disdain, shook his head and said, "You are stupid! This is the mine car track, used to transport ore."
If it were a blind man, he would have tolerated it, but in front of so many people, especially Zhou Xiaodie, Arnold dared to say that he was stupid, and he was intolerable. He spat and said, "Golden Retriever, do you really don't know? I was deliberately testing you, so I knew you like to show off. I bah! Of course, there are mine cars in the mine."
Luo Lie hurriedly stopped the two from continuing to argue. There was no worry-free character in these two guys. Now is not the time to argue. He took the torch from Yan Tianxin's hand and observed the railway tracks. The railway tracks were light that could be seen and should be used frequently. But strangely, there were no mining carts around, but there were many mining lamps along the stone wall.
Yan Tianxin also noticed this and whispered: "We'd better be careful!"
The blind man's feet fell on the ground, no longer as nervous as before, and he was interested in showing his bravery and fearlessness in front of Zhou Xiaodie, and he laughed and said, "What's there to be afraid of? The guns and bullets have come over. What are you afraid of if you don't even have a personal shadow here? Are you afraid of ghosts?"
Yan Tianxin ignored him and said to Park Changjie: "Xiaojie, go ahead to explore the way and see if there is any mine cart! Everyone rest on the spot."
Park Changjie nodded, picked up a Gas lamp and lit it. Green flames rose out, and then a pungent and unpleasant smell spread in the corridor.
The blind man's little eyes were stimulated by the strong light again. He wrinkled his nose in disgust, and then covered his mouth and nose. He saw Zhou Xiaodie sitting alone on the railroad track, with his back facing everyone, and was alone. The blind man was about to walk over, but Luo Lie grabbed his arm. Luo Lie shook his head and signaled him not to go over. It would be best to give Zhou Xiaodie a space to calm down alone.
Zhang Changgong took this opportunity to sort out the bow and arrow, and Arnold came up with a smile: "Old Zhang, I have time to teach me how to shoot arrows!"
Zhang Changgong nodded: "Okay, teach me how to drive a tank!"
"no problem."
The blind man took out two grenades and handed them to Luo Lie. Luo Lie was stunned for a moment. The blind man said, "I know that you and Jesus swear that you will not use a gun. This thing is a grenade. It does not violate your principles. It is more useful than a flying knife at critical moments."
Luo Lie did not refuse this time and took it from him.
Yan Tianxin inserted the torch into the crack of the rock and sat down against the rock wall. A trace of fatigue appeared on her pretty face. Her heart was far less calm than her expression. This time she came to Lingtian Castle not to celebrate Xiao Tianxing’s birthday, but to find a shamanic golden body. Yan Tianxin’s real name was Wanyan Tianxin, a descendant of the Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom. Her ancestors were the Jin Dynasty general Wanyan Tiexin. Lingtian Castle was destroyed by the Mongols. The Wanyan family luckily retained a lineage. Later, they established Lianyun Village and became the oldest among the many bandits in the Pai Baishan Mountain. Lianyun Village has always lived a life of isolation from the outside world. Although they rely on robbery for a living, they do not harm ordinary people. They have always had a good reputation in Pai Baishan, and they have never had the intention to win the world.
However, the ambitious Xiao Tianxing could not tolerate such a force, and finally extended his claws to Lianyun Village. Yan Tianxin remembered the words before Xiao Tianxing died. Judging from his expression, he should not have lie, but if he was really not the one who stole the shaman's golden body, who would have been? Who introduced himself into this dilemma?
