Peerless Protégé [Rebirth]

He didn't know where the anxiety came from, but it was obviously related to this cliff.He sat down on the ground and asked, "Zhong Xiao, have you been here before?"

Zhong Zhili nodded in affirmation.Duan Wan and Luo Jiening were surprised at the same time, Luo Jiening asked: "How did you get here?"

Zhong Zhili said: "Perform the mission and catch the fugitive."

Luo Jiening whispered: "Whoever flees here for their lives, doesn't it all come here to die for love?"

Duan Wan said: "Didn't Huo Pingsheng and Bai Zhiqiu come here?"

"That's true. But it's my first time here." He asked Duan Wan, "Is there a path up?"

Duan Wan shook her head: "I don't know."

Luo Jiening leaned on the edge of the cliff and listened to the sound, and said, "The body must have been found, right? Why is there no sound?"

Duan Wan said: "It's so high, how can there be a sound coming out?"

Luo Jiening was stunned for a moment, he clearly remembered that when Nan Qiansi was chasing dancers in his early years, he jumped off the cliff, but he was not injured, so he became famous all over the world.He jumped up in a jerk, grabbed Duan Wan's wrist and asked, "Do you remember how Nan Qiansi became famous?"

Duan Wan looked at him with a puzzled expression, and said, "Remember, isn't it just chasing and killing Wu into the new year?"

Zhong Zhili looked at the two of them, confused.

Luo Jiening let go of her and said, "Yeah, I remember back then, he said that he would be fine if he fell off a cliff hundreds of feet high."

Duan Wan shook her head and said: "I don't know about that. Anyway, it is said that Wu Ruinian was knocked off the cliff by Wu Ruinian. I don't know what happened later. I have never seen him."

Luo Jiening said: "He even participated in the scuffle, so he must be fine. It's strange, why is it okay to fall from such a height? Let me try?"

Duan Wan grabbed him and said: "If you try it, you won't have a chance to know the result. I think there must be someone below to meet him. I don't think those people below have a path to come up. They have to walk back by themselves."

Luo Jiening was stunned for a while, and then said: "You are right."

Zhong Zhili said, "How long shall we wait?"

Duan Wan said: "If we go down, it will take nearly three days to get up, take a look, do we still want to go down?"

Luo Jiening patted the dust off his clothes and said, "So, we are waiting for them for three days?"

Duan Wan sighed and said: "I originally thought that it would be meaningless if there were too many people, so I'll sleep first."

After all, she lay back, covered her eyes with her hands, and began to take a nap.Luo Jiening also lay beside her and imitated her posture to sleep for a while, only Zhong Zhili stood like a pine tree alone, looking into the distance, his eyes were full of light, as if to illuminate the dusk.

They waited until the sun went down, and when they saw Zhong Zhili wearing the stars and the moon, Luo Jiening listened to the movement below, and after hearing no sound, he turned over and climbed up the strange tree, said "Let's go" to the two of them, and then slipped down.Duan Wan also followed, Zhong Zhili was concerned about his clothes, and thought for a while before following up.

That path is really a shortcut, a few hundred feet high, but it only took a short moment to hit the ground, and there is a distance from the waterfall, sliding down will not wet your clothes at all.He looked around, and sure enough, there was no one there, and he must have gone back without finding the body. There were so many of them, they couldn't stay down there for long.

Soon, Duan Wan and Zhong Zhili had already arrived below, the three of them took a look around by the moonlight, Duan Wan laughed and said, "I'm so smart!"

Luo Jiening warned: "Be careful of the stones below, they will cut your boots."

Zhong Zhili was walking in front of Luo Jiening, and he could hear the loud rumble of the waterfall, which was like rolling thunder, and he couldn't hear it when he spoke in a quieter voice. Duan Wan noticed the stone, but didn't There was a clear spring at his feet, his boots were completely wet when he stepped into the spring, Zhong Zhili almost stepped in, Luo Jiening pulled him from behind, and whispered in his ear: "Be careful!"

Zhong Zhili leaned against him for a moment, then nodded, only when Luo Jiening let go, did he continue walking, Duan Wan was no longer visible in front of him.

Duan Wan cursed loudly: "I can't see clearly!"

Luo Jiening raised his head to look at the moon, the moon is very bright tonight, but the bottom of the cliff is very dark, the road under his feet can barely be seen clearly, Luo Jiening barely knows where he is by touching the stone wall place.

The three of them walked for a while, and Duan Wan said in front, "It's strange, there seems to be a hole, and there's the sound of wind."

Zhong Zhili said, "Go in."

Luo Jiening smiled and said, "Will there be any fish that slip through the net and enter the hole?"

The three of them entered the cave, only to find that it was even darker inside, and they couldn't even see the ground clearly. The three of them quieted down and listened to the sound, but there was no sound except the sound of the wind, so they were relieved that there was nothing there.

Duan Wan took off her boots and said, "It's all wet, it's so uncomfortable."

Luo Jiening lay down and said, "Get some sleep, and you'll know everything tomorrow morning."

Zhong Zhili was lying beside him and was going to sleep, Duan Wan couldn't get close to the two of them, so she hid in the corner alone to rest.

Zhong Zhili fell silent as soon as he lay down, and Luo Jiening couldn't fall asleep when he heard the rumbling noise outside, so he turned around and looked at Zhong Zhili, but unfortunately he couldn't see clearly, so he curled his lips and leaned closer He whispered in his ear: "Zhong Xiao?"

Zhong Zhili was obviously not asleep, so he replied softly, "Huh?"

Luo Jiening was a little dazzled by his slightly evoked ending sound, and felt itchy in his heart, he stretched out his hand and hugged him, rubbing his shoulder and said: "I can't sleep. It's so noisy."

Just as Zhong Zhili was about to speak, a cold voice came over: "You guys are so noisy, I can't sleep either."

Luo Jiening almost laughed out loud, he was obviously already very quiet, okay?Luo Jiening noticed that Zhong Zhili's body beside him was stiff, so he hugged him even tighter. He suddenly found that Zhong Zhili had a very good smell, which he couldn't usually tell when he was by his side. You can only ask when you are very close, and suddenly you are so fresh that you don't feel sleepy, and you ask: "You smell so good."

Zhong Zhili remained silent, Luo Jiening said to himself: "It's strange, didn't you buy spices 50 years ago? Why do you still have the smell on your body now?"

Zhong Zhili kept silent, Luo Jiening thought he was asleep, when he looked up, he saw Zhong Zhili looking straight at him, but the two of them met their eyes, Luo Jiening thought it was fun, so he smiled and See how he reacts.Zhong Zhili was stared at by him for a while, then suddenly turned around and fell asleep.

Luo Jiening stared at his back for a moment, and then his smile deepened. He bet that Zhong Xiao must be embarrassed!

After falling asleep, Luo Jiening was still a little confused when he opened his eyes. He stared at Zhong Zhili next to him in a daze for a while, then realized where he was, jumped up and looked around, but was suddenly stunned.

This cave is more like a corpse hiding place!

The place where they were lying happened to be a clean open space, and around them, there were all kinds of bones densely covered, which seemed to have all rotted away, leaving only the bones here. Luo Jiening looked over, the bones Some shelves are very large while others are small. It seems that they are animal bones.

He quickly woke up Zhong Zhili, Duan Wan was also awake at the moment, and almost screamed when she saw the bones all over the floor, Luo Jiening waved her hand and said, "It's not human bones." Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhong Zhili turned his head to look around, got up and said, "Let's go out."

Luo Jiening admired Zhong Zhili's determination, the three of them left the cave, and finally saw the situation at the bottom of the cliff clearly——

Just as Zhong Zhili remembered, the waterfall made a rumbling sound, Luo Jiening didn't hear a word Duan Wan said earlier, and went to enjoy the beautiful scenery at the bottom of the cliff.Zhong Zhili looked at the spring water, then at the surrounding stone walls, and said, "If there is a corpse, where would it be?"

Knowing that he was talking about Bai Zhiqiu and Huo Pingsheng, Luo Jiening said with a smile: "If there is, it must be in the hands of those people now."

"That's not necessarily true." Duan Wan said, "There are so many people looking for it, maybe they really can't find it. If they jumped down, there would definitely be blood splattered everywhere. Look at this spring, how does it look like it's mixed with blood? "

Luo Jiening looked at the stone wall, but his eyes suddenly stayed on it and couldn't move away.There seemed to be something engraved on the stone wall, but it had been eroded by the water for many years, and it was no longer clear what was engraved on it.Luo Jiening moved closer, but he didn't even hear Duan Wan calling him.It wasn't until Duan Wan called out for the fourth time that Luo Jiening turned around and said in a daze, "Someone called me?"

Duan Wan walked to him and said dissatisfiedly: "What are you looking at?"

Zhong Zhili also came over, they were only a few feet away from the waterfall, their words could not be heard clearly, Duan Wan could only show him with gestures.Luo Jiening pointed to the top of the stone wall, leaned into Duan Wan's ear and said, "There is something on it!"

Only then did Duan Wan come to her senses, looked over, there was indeed something on the stone wall, densely textured, it looked like some kind of word.

Luo Jiening passed Duan Wan and Zhong Zhili and walked forward, but found that the stone wall over there was soaked in water and could not be seen clearly, so he walked in another direction, which was the cave they left, Luo Jie Ning's eyes lit up, and he immediately ran towards the cave, ignoring the water under his feet.

Duan Wan saw him run up suddenly, she couldn't help following him, Zhong Zhili didn't know what the two were running, and just followed slowly, only then did he realize that the entrance of the cave was densely covered with thorns!

They didn't notice it when they came in, but it was obvious that someone had cut off the thorns blocking the entrance of the cave, so they could easily enter the cave.From this point of view, this cave must have been entered by someone.

After Zhong Zhili followed up the cave, he found that Luo Jiening was standing on top of a white bone, almost lying on the stone wall, looking carefully to see if there was anything on the stone wall in the cave, Zhong Zhili looked over, it was obviously nothing.

Duan Wan said on the side: "There is nothing, what are you looking at?"

Luo Jiening said: "Impossible, there must be."

Zhong Zhili watched him pull out his brush to carve on the stone wall, and said, "Even if there is, you can't see anything clearly after doing this."

Luo Jiening turned back and said: "Looking at the stone wall, it's obvious that it was repaired recently, moss grew on the outside stone walls, but the inside is as clean as if someone had wiped it every day."

Duan Wan said: "It must be cleaner inside."

"No." Luo Jiening said, "Look, there is no trace on it. You can see that there are bones around here, but there is no rotten smell. Either someone put them in on purpose, or these things were many, many years ago. He died here, but I think the possibility of the former is very high, since someone came in, and the cave is so hidden, the stone wall is definitely not easy to be damaged, if you want to build a new one, you can only cover up the old one."

After listening to a long section of his explanation, Duan Wan said in surprise: "So you didn't hear what I said, did you?"

Luo Jiening said again: "I think it should be the same as the things on the stone walls outside. Since there are those things outside, they must have led us in. The stone walls have been eroded by water all the year round, and it is very likely that there were those traces a long time ago. Yes, it’s just that someone used those things to tamper with it.”

Zhong Zhili nodded and said, "It makes sense."

Duan Wan hugged her chest and said, "Then, who did that?"

Zhong Zhili said: "Also, who discovered this cave yesterday and entered it?"

Luo Jiening ignored the two of them, just kept carving on the stone wall with his sword, suddenly he stopped, looked carefully at the carved marks, and said with a smile: "It really is like this."
