The reborn cannon fodder

The giant tree entwined with vines opened a big mouth of Heisuosuo, devouring all the incoming light.

Everyone looked at the entrance, feeling a little hairy in their hearts, but the sound of "click" coming from behind them from time to time, and the faint smell of roasted insects reminded them that if they continued to stay here, the crude fire ditch would not be as good. Can't last long.If they were exhausted with these inexhaustible insects, they would eventually be defeated by exhaustion and buried in the mouth of insects.

Mu Changyun raised the torch and walked in first.

"What's the smell!" As soon as he walked down the ladder to the bottom of the tunnel, a strange smell rushed towards him. It was like the smell of different medicines mixed together, mixed with the humidity of the cold wave, which made people unable to bear it. Frown.

Liu Qiyan walked behind and glanced up.Those Gu women had obviously broken through the fire ditch, but they were all crowded at the entrance and did not come down.

"I guess this smell can repel insects." Seeing this, several soldiers nearby turned their heads and shrugged their noses, and walked in with confidence.

Moisture accumulated in the tunnel, so a lot of moss grew on the walls and floors, and it was slippery and slippery when walking, so you had to be very careful.Perhaps it is artificially limited, and the whole tunnel looks very crude.There are some bricks on the walls, but they are irregular, and the stone slabs on the ground are also of different sizes. Only the wooden frame supporting the whole tunnel looks reliable.However, the place is too hot and humid, and these wooden frames look old. Mu Changyun reckoned in his heart that they would last another 20 years at most, and the tunnel would collapse.

Many places in the tunnel were narrow and short. Among the soldiers there was a man with a big arm and a round waist. He kowtowed his head after walking a few steps.

Liu Qiyan walked and observed the situation in the tunnel, pouted with disdain.

"It's so badly built, I guess there won't be any mechanism." Mu Sigui also looked disgusted, obviously he didn't like the situation in the secret path.

"You have to be more careful." Mu Changyun thought of the ground warden of Yunxi Tower and his own secret room at the bottom of Wushang Lake. Compared with this place, those two places can be regarded as fine workmanship.However, he has always been cautious, and if he made it crudely, it may not be without traps, and there is no big mistake if he is careful.

A group of people walked forward in a meandering way. At first, they were still a little energetic, but they were always in the dark and hot, and after a long time, they began to be listless.

According to Ding Hui, it would take at least half a day to walk in the tunnel. At this time, it was only half of the distance, so they discussed whether to stop and slow down.

At this moment, after Mu Sigui stepped on a stone slab, he remembered a slight "click". Liu Qiyan's ears moved, his face turned serious, and he immediately pulled the person away: "Be careful!"

"Duoduoduo" three small iron arrows were nailed to the stone slab where Mu Sigui was standing just now. The arrows were small and rusty, but they did not affect their sharpness. What made people break out in cold sweat was that Under the light of the fire, there was still a layer of bright green light on the body of the arrow, which was obviously smeared with poison.

"Huh! Thank you so much, thanks to having you, my nephew and daughter-in-law!" A drop of cold sweat dripped down Mu Sigui's forehead, and he was a little dazed just now. If it wasn't for Liu Qiyan's quick movements, he would at least have to be stunned to react. I am afraid that the arrow cannot be dodged.This was a false alarm, and his words were a little out of bounds.

When the rest of the people heard his name, their expressions were different. Mu Changyun couldn't laugh or cry, and Liu Qiyan didn't know whether to be happy or angry. The expressions of the soldiers behind him were even more exciting, and they all blushed. .

Liu Qiyan could only feel a lot of eyes behind him scrutinizing him secretly, and he was thick-skinned as if he didn't know, but he couldn't help pinching the back of Mu Changyun's hand next to him, but he knew in his heart that the little uncle of the Mu family couldn't say for sure. Deliberately being in it, even if they don't openly object to their relationship, but it's inevitable that they are close and feel uncomfortable and want to run.

Finally, he performed well this time, Liu Qiyan was secretly proud.

I think that when my master found the eunuch left over from the previous dynasty in Hongye County, it was already damaged and useless.Afterwards, I participated in the construction of buildings and redoing institutions, and I have a lot of experience in the hidden weapons of those institutions.As soon as he heard that familiar voice just now, his conditioned reflex knew it was not good.

At this time, he lifted the hem of his clothes, squatted down, and looked closely at the stone slab with a torch, and suddenly noticed something different.

"There are some engraved symbols on this stone slab." He felt that these symbols looked familiar, and couldn't help but take a closer look. "Some of them are similar to the characters of Kunyu Kingdom, but they are different."

"Can you guess the meaning?"

Liu Qiyan shook his head, stood up and said: "Remember the appearance first, maybe there will be nicks on the stone slabs with organs, and then pay more attention to your feet when you walk forward, if you see nicks, write down the appearance."

He had some thoughts in his mind, and always felt that these characters had different meanings. He wrote down the characters on this slate, and he could compare them if he saw them again later.

After this encounter, the remaining few people also became more cautious.

Even if the secret path is broken enough, it may not be without danger.

Sure enough, they found several stone slabs engraved with characters on the road afterwards.Two of them had the same symbol on the previous one, Liu Qiyan tried one of them, and as soon as he pressed on it, three arrows shot down from above.The rest of the stone slabs were engraved with different runes. Out of concern for the unknown, they did not try rashly, but just wrote down these symbols, and then analyzed them carefully when they stopped to rest, and finally came to a rough conclusion. some conclusions.

There are three types of symbols in total, one of which is back arrows. People who know their meanings can easily avoid them as long as they see the stone carvings on the ground while walking.

There is another kind of warning symbol. If you step on it, the people in the secret path may not be different, but in the distance, maybe there is Princess Kunyu hiding in that cliff village, and you can get the news.These characters were engraved very covertly, if it weren't for Mu Changyun's sharp eyes, maybe a few people wouldn't be able to discover them at all.But they were really not sure whether they had stepped on a similar stone slab before. Perhaps the village had already received news that someone had come from the secret path.However, according to Liu Qiyan, the only authority among the few, the distance between such warning agencies should not be too far, so the possibility of existence in the secret road farther away from the village is not very high.

The function of the third type of symbol is to close the road.Liu Qiyan found some suspended stone slabs and broken bricks on the top of these stone slabs or the top of the secret passage at the front or back. After analysis, it was found that if the stone slabs were stepped on, some of the front roads would be cut off, and others would collapse suddenly. , Presumably it is for people to escape.Whether fleeing from the outside to the mountain village or from the village to the mountain, as long as you know the location of the symbol, you can use it to get rid of the pursuers.And if a stranger enters the secret passage, without paying attention, it is very likely that he will be trapped in it and cannot leave.

"Although the building is rudimentary, the traps are complete."

"Ding Hui didn't talk about this before."

"I'm afraid he doesn't know it himself."

"I think this secret path is the secret escape route prepared by Princess Kunyu. If Ding Hui hadn't told her, even if we could find Naya Village, she would have been able to escape calmly."

"When you get to the exit, don't be in a hurry to get out. We can go back first and find a stone slab to seal the back road." Some doubts in my heart, Liu Qiyan didn't say this directly, but transmitted it through a secret voice , secretly told the people around him about his plan.

Mu Changyun thought about it and agreed to the proposal.Regardless of whether this trip was dangerous or not, he didn't want to give Princess Kunyu another chance to escape, lest she continue to stir up trouble after she lived in peace.

After walking for a while, Liu Qiyan suddenly poked out a small head from the skirt of his chest: "Squeak!"

"Huh?" Mu Sigui had no idea that they had brought out this white rock monkey, so he was very surprised when he saw it for the first time.

Liu Qiyan's heart moved, and he guessed that the exit was not far away.

You know, since the monkey was caught, it was extremely well-behaved. Unless it was commanded with a wooden whistle, it would almost hide and not move.Now suddenly he pops up, I'm afraid it's...

Looking at each other with Mu Changyun, they secretly increased their vigilance, and sure enough, they reached the end of the secret path in a short time.

At the end is a brick wall, the bricks are very regular and beautiful, in sharp contrast to the broken walls on both sides.

As soon as the three of Mu Liu saw it, they knew there was a mystery hidden in the bricks on the wall, and Ding Hui had already written down how to open the door.

"Hey, why is there no way?" The chattering soldier had been silent all the way, but seeing that he was blocked by a wall while walking, he was puzzled and couldn't help but open his mouth.

"I think it's the exit." The little man named A Xiao said sullenly.

"Do you guys know how to get out?"

Mu Sigui saw Liu Qiyan's eyes, so he didn't directly tell Ding Hui the method, but observed carefully, and said: "Because there is a secret method to follow like the entrance, let me take a closer look. .”

Liu Qiyan also took advantage of the situation and said: "After going down, look at the few stone slabs just now, maybe you can find some patterns."

After finishing speaking, he was lucky and ran back the way he came.Mu Changyun's expression remained unchanged, he only looked around vigilantly, and no one suspected him.

After a while, the man came back, without saying much, he went to Mu Sigui and whispered something to him, after that, Mu Sigui started to fight.

I saw that he began to slap a few specific bricks and stones on the brick wall unhurriedly, following a peculiar rhythm, over and over again, some bricks and stones were slapped a few more times, and some less.The soldiers behind him couldn't understand it, they just thought it looked miraculous, and Mu Changyun knew that if he took a wrong shot, the door would collapse the entire exit of the secret road, and it would be unavoidable. Disgraced.

Fortunately, Mu Sigui specially memorized the way to open the entrance and exit, and there was nothing wrong.

Soon, there was a toothache "creaking" sound behind the brick wall, and the sound stopped after a while, but the brick wall didn't change much.

"Hey? Why isn't it on?"

Mu Changyun signaled the soldiers behind him to be silent and vigilant, then nodded to Mu Sigui, and the other party finally pressed the last brick on the wall.

The brick wall gradually cracked a hole in the middle, and the soft sky light leaked out from it.

The author has something to say: Liu Qiyan: This secret path is so ugly!What about the princess, has her aesthetics died out?

Mu Changyun: Probably, the poor ones?

Liu Qiyan: Poor ghosts are so pitiful.Don't worry, I'm rich now!

Mu Changyun: →_→ It's none of my business that you have money

Liu Qiyan: We can smash her to death with money!

Mu Changyun: ... Is your IQ dead too?
