Returning to you in the depths of the white clouds

The stone gate gradually rose, revealing the layout of the stone room.There seems to be no light source in the stone room, but there are gold, silver and jewels everywhere outside, and the light is naturally enough for three people to see clearly inside.

There is a stone platform in the center of this stone room, other than that, it is empty.

Walking to the door, Xu Yuqing felt something was wrong, but Ying Hongting couldn't wait to rush in.

At this time, the distance, even though the indoor light source is insufficient, is enough for three people to see the object on the stone platform clearly - it is a thick scroll of letters.

"Don't touch it!" Xu Yuqing reminded immediately, but she also knew that Ying Hongting would not listen to this dissuasion, so she flew over immediately.Gu Linfeng had already reacted, and happened to be closer to her, and grabbed Ying Hongting's right arm as soon as he stretched out his hand.

But Ying Hongting listened to the movement behind her, turned her body to the right side, and touched the letter with her left hand reluctantly.Before Xu Yuqing touched her, she had already picked up the letter.

As soon as she picked it up, she knew something was wrong - the slip was actually connected to a mechanism on the stone platform!

With a sound of "boom", the stone door behind the three of them slammed down unexpectedly, stirring up a room of dust.

"Tell me about you, why are your hands so fast? I was worried that the letter might be poisonous, or that it would touch some kind of wounding mechanism, but it turned out that the old man Wu Sheng was fine and trapped us here to death. It's really exciting." Son." Xu Yuqing stretched her legs and leaned against the stone platform, just now she searched and searched but found nothing, no matter how good-tempered she was, she couldn't help but blame Ying Hongting for her impulsiveness.

"I'm sorry." Ying Hongting huddled in the corner, and there was only this sentence back and forth. Apart from being indefensible, the hardest blow was the failure of her hope of finding medical books, which made her completely discouraged.At this time, Gu Linfeng didn't seem to be lecturing others, but just stood there without saying a word.

Xu Yuqing sighed inwardly, knowing that it was useless to blame her. The "serial mistakes" have come to this point, which proves that they have gone the wrong way every step of the way, and they are not good at learning skills, and they blame themselves.If all three of them hadn't stepped into the stone room at that time, be more careful, as long as one person was outside, they wouldn't have fallen into such a situation.

But he didn't believe that this was the end.

A little fire suddenly lit up in the dark stone room.It turned out that Gu Linfeng took out the flint in his arms, and walked slowly back and forth around the stone room. Every few steps, he stopped and stood still for a while, and then continued to the next place.

Seeing him walking around, Xu Yuqing naturally knew what his purpose was: "This stone room is not an airtight coffin after all."

Flint can burn indoors for a long time, which proves that the stone room can be ventilated. Gu Linfeng walked around to try to find out where the vents are, but the result was not satisfactory: "It's not easy to do, although it won't suffocate people. But there are probably several openings, and they are all extremely small, otherwise the flames would hardly be able to test the direction of the wind."

"As long as you are so hot, of course you can't try it." Xu Yuqing signaled: "I touched that broken letter for a long time and it didn't have any other effects. You can try burning it."

It is a pity that the torches lit by the letter did not test the clear direction of the wind, but there were only slight fluctuations in the deepest part of the stone chamber and at the entrance.

"Okay, at least I know that the entrance is not completely sealed, and the outer wall in the deepest part is probably outside the mountain. We can either dig the door or dig the mountain. After ten years of bigu, we can always get out." Xu Yuqing also held her breath in her heart, and said sarcasticly He opened his mouth and came, but when he turned his head, by the light of the fire, he saw Ying Hongting huddled in a corner, crying silently.

"Uh... Miss Ying..." Xu Yuqing couldn't bear to see a girl cry in such a situation, she opened her mouth and didn't know how to comfort her, so she raised her head and winked at Gu Linfeng who was still standing.

Who knew that Gu Linfeng took the words calmly: "I won't suffocate to death, at most starve to death, I can't cry to death."

Ying Hongting finally couldn't help but look up at him when she heard the words.

...Come on, Xu Yuqing has to give in. If he is cheap, he still can't win against Gu Linfeng, and he will be pissed to death sooner or later.

Here and now, there is no use in dwelling on sadness or self-blame. Ying Hongting wiped the tears from her face, and stood up with courage: "I'm sorry, brothers, is there any way? Now I can do something what?"

Xu Yuqing also supported the stone platform and stood up: "That's right."

"First of all, I have touched this stone platform several times, and it is really not very useful. I watched Gu Linfeng walking around in circles just now, and guessed that the vents for ventilation may be below the entrance and above the deepest part. The bottom of the entrance is probably because There is always a gap between the stone gate and the ground, this is of little use to us, we should dig a hole if we are in a hurry. First, we should study whether there is any play on the stone wall."

Xu Yuqing made up his mind, and the three surrounded them with torches and Ye Mingzhu.

The wall deep in the stone room is different from other places. There is a row of stone figurines standing against the wall. Those stone figurines are similar to the mechanism stone figurines at the entrance, and the carvings are also very detailed. The back seems to be connected to the stone wall. It looks like embedded in the stone wall.Each stone figurine is one and a half people tall, but further up, there are pieces of extremely smooth stone walls.

The three of them held up the torches and looked at it, only to realize that the deeper the stone chamber was, the higher it became. When reaching this stone wall, the roof of the stone chamber could not be clearly seen from the current light source.

At such a height, coupled with the extremely smooth stone wall, it is really difficult to find the upper vent to escape.

Xu Yuqing folded his arms and looked at the stone wall for a while, then turned his gaze to the row of stone figurines sticking to the wall.The images of these stone figurines are very vivid. Although their movements are uniform, each one has a different expression upon closer inspection. Some have ferocious faces, some have hippie smiles, but each stone figurine leans slightly forward, as if it is about to get out of the stone wall. out.

Ying Hongting also said at this time: "These stone figurines... make people feel strangely uncomfortable. When they stand close, they feel a little...a little..."

"Offensive." Gu Linfeng took the words, and took a step to Xu Yuqing's side.These stone figurines also made him feel a little uncomfortable. Remembering that when he entered this "false treasure house", he touched the attacking stones triggered by the stone figurine mechanism, and it was hard to make people feel good about them.But with a precedent, it is natural to think of the next direction.

He subconsciously staggered and pushed Xu Yuqing to the side: "Stand there and watch, and tell me which one to move."

Xu Yuqing was baffled, and said to himself: "I understand, can't I do it myself? Do you have to come?"

Glancing at his expression, he bluntly recalled the conversation between Ying Hongting and Gu Linfeng just now: "Oh, it's because I'm afraid I'm in danger." .

"What? If you don't understand, just tell me." Gu Linfeng frowned, but opened his mouth to say nothing good.

Xu Yuqing snorted when he heard the words, and then concentrated on looking at the row of stone figurines in front of him.He watched carefully, walking from one end of the stone wall to the other, observing the expressions, movements and clothing carvings of the stone figurines one by one, and memorized them in his heart.

Ying Hongting was afraid that she would be in the way, so she took two steps back decisively, stood aside and waited for them to think about it, and stood by herself to wait for orders.From her point of view, Gu Linfeng has been standing not far in front of Xu Yuqing, following his footsteps, silently, but always separating him from the stone figurines. Show some meaning of protection.

The two were observing and probing, occasionally talking in a low voice. They didn't talk much, but there was a kind of tacit understanding and intimacy that was difficult for others to interfere with.

It seems that the rumors about the relationship between their brothers and sisters... are not credible.

Ying Hongting looked at the two of them, feeling that she couldn't help much, and couldn't help thinking of her junior sisters who were still outside, regretting that she had brought many disciples down the mountain together on impulse, but encountered ups and downs along the way. I was trapped in this stone room again.And the whole sect, the old ones, the young ones, left her as a useless senior disciple and did all sorts of unreliable and stupid things.

I don't know if the younger sisters who stayed on the mountain took good care of Master.

If... If Master is really like Gu Linfeng said, time is running out, why don't we spend more time with her on the mountain?

She was thinking wildly, when she heard a loud sound like a moving stone, and Xu Yuqing suddenly raised her tone: "Be careful!"

Ying Hongting responded and moved forward, only to see that Gu Linfeng and Xu Yuqing took a few steps towards her and stopped together.

The sound of the stone moving also stopped.

Only then did she see that among the stone figurines, one really came out of the wall and took a decent step forward.I don't know where Gu and Xu touched just now, which made the stone figurine move as if alive.

The three of them were startled and remained silent for a while, but after waiting for a while, the stone figurine showed no sign of moving again.

Gu and Xu looked at each other and stepped forward together. One inspected the stone figurine, and the other walked to the wall where the stone figurine came out to observe.Ying Hongting thought for a while, and then went forward, looking at the stone figurine for a while.Naturally, she was not as tall as the two men, and she couldn't see anything when she squeezed in. She raised her head and looked diagonally above the stone figurine.In the dim light, on the stone wall, there seems to be something different from before...

"Look! Is there a small stone protruding from that high place!" Ying Hongting shouted.

Xu Yuqing threw down the stone figurine and approached with a light source. As expected, there was a protruding stone on the top of the stone wall, but the protruding part was very small, and the position was a bit high. If they didn't see it by chance, I'm afraid they It will take a while to find out.He stuffed the Ye Mingzhu into Ying Hongting's hand, and was about to jump up to reach the bulge, but Gu Linfeng grabbed his shoulder from behind and stuffed him with the inextinguishable torch. When the person reacted, he jumped up and grabbed the stone with both hands.

Xu Yuqing had no choice but to raise the light source, raised her head to illuminate the place: "Try it, can it be moved?"

The protruding stones were very narrow, and Gu Linfeng's hands could barely grasp the sides of the stones, but he had nowhere to use his strength. Falling on it with his arms alone was already strenuous enough.He seemed to have tried several methods of exerting force on it, but the stone could not move an inch.He wanted to push his feet on the stone wall, but the stone wall was too smooth and it was difficult to exert force.

"Should we come down first, let's think about it?"

Ying Hongting's suggestion was also Xu Yuqing's idea: "No hurry, you come down first, we will try it differently."

"There seems to be some movement in the pulling out. I'll try again!" At this time, Gu Linfeng's feet seemed to have reached a rare non-slippery foothold on the stone wall. Pulling out the block, this time, the block actually bounced out!

In an instant, a beam of natural light fell down from a high place, and the three of them were stunned for a moment, and then all of them were overjoyed——

There really is an exit!

But at this moment, the stone figurines behind Xu Yuqing suddenly moved!

At the same time, several guns suddenly shot out from the heights in the four corners of the stone room, and they all went straight in the direction of Gu Linfeng!

Hearing the sound of the wind breaking behind his ears, Gu Linfeng dodged subconsciously, his feet slipped on the stone wall again, and the stone he pulled out swished back, and the light suddenly shrunk.Thanks to his quick reaction, he stepped on the tail of the stone with a swing of his feet, and his whole body was in a straight line, almost touching the stone. He pulled the stone outward again, and the light source at the height expanded to its original size.Continuous attacks came from all directions unexpectedly, and he could only use the stones as cover to dodge with difficulty.

"You can't let go of this stone!" He yelled in a muffled voice, only to hear the iron hammer knocking against the gun in the air, it turned out that Ying Hongting jumped up and jumped onto this raised stone platform, using it as a foothold, waving Sword skills blocked hidden weapons for him one by one.

But the situation of Xu Yuqing below is not easy.

At this time, not only the moving stone figurines in front of the head punched Xu Yuqing straight, but the rows of stone figurines below also moved out one after another, some raised their palms, some kicked their legs, and some seemed to sense someone passing by. Then the whole statue was smashed down.These stone figurines have no pattern to be found, and their bodies are made of extremely hard stone, so human attack is difficult to be effective.Xu Yuqing wanted to get out of the range of the stone figurines, but they were entangled in them, and he couldn't leave for a while.

In desperation, he glanced at the situation above, and only had time to call out to Ying Hongting: "Let's go first!"

Gu Linfeng understood, he couldn't hold on for too long, and signaled Ying Hongting: "Go up and have a look! Get out if you can!"

Ying Hongting is not a pretentious person either, after hearing the words, she helped Gu Linfeng block a few guns, turned around and jumped towards the high exit, and landed at the entrance where the light was shining.The entrance is extremely high, thanks to Ying Hongting's lightness skill is quite good enough, she will reach the edge of the cave entrance, seeing that this place is indeed a mountain wall facing outwards, and outside is a cliff extending obliquely downwards, although it is a bit high, but it is good for the surroundings There are trees, which can be used to settle down.

Ying Hongting turned over and went out, and shouted inwardly: "You can get out here!"

When Gu Linfeng heard the words, he said hello in his heart, and immediately let go of his strength, let go of the mechanism stone and swung away.

Ying Hongting was still at the entrance of the cave, and saw the big rocks rolling towards the entrance of the cave quickly, so she had to back away to dodge, only in time to hear Gu Linfeng's voice in the cave: "Go to Yingxiang Tower!"

With a bang, the entrance of the cave was covered again, and the inside and outside of the cave were once again isolated.

And the moment Gu Linfeng dropped his hand and the stone returned to its place, the stone figurines also stopped moving.

Gu Linfeng almost fell to the ground, his hands and feet were so numb that he couldn't use any strength, Xu Yuqing here also showed his head out of the group of stone figurines that almost surrounded him with lingering fear, glanced at the people on the ground, and sighed like a smile Not smiling.

In this situation, the two of them actually felt a bit like brothers and sisters in distress.
