Chapter 25 Chapter 5 The Dungeon

The two little urchins looked at each other with great excitement.I saw that there was indeed a stone tablet in front of the cave. The stone tablet was old and dilapidated, and a few lines of words were vaguely engraved on it, and the handwriting was blurred.Lian Xing stepped forward and gently brushed off the dust on the stone tablet with his small hands, only then did the words on the stone tablet appear clearly.It's just that the handwriting is not regular script, and the strokes seem to be connected together one by one. Lian Xing's eyebrows were slowly wrinkled together, and he didn't speak for a while.

Da Kui asked, "What word is this, do you recognize it?" Lian Xing shook his head. Da Kui laughed and said, "I don't know how long you've been looking at it?" Lian Xing said solemnly: "If you don't recognize it, just look at it." The solemn look on his face is very scary.Da Kui grew up with him since he was a child, and has never seen him with such an expression, so he couldn't help but feel very scared. Da Kui asked, "What's wrong with you?" Lian Xing said slowly: "I don't think this is a forbidden area. Tell me, was this the stele you saw last time?"

Da Kui nodded and said, "Yes, that's right." Lian Xing stared into his eyes and said, "Look carefully again, is it really the stele you saw last time?" Da Kui stood in front of the stele, looked at the stele carefully, his eyebrows slowly knit together.Suddenly said: "It's strange, this stone tablet is really not that stone tablet, there are many words on this stone tablet." Turning to ask Lian Xing: "How did you find out?" Lian Xing smiled: "I heard the fourth aunt talk about the appearance of the stone tablet in front of the forbidden area. The fourth aunt said that the stone tablet of the forbidden area was engraved with the nine characters of "Tiyun Valley Forbidden Area, trespassers will die". It is clear and plain, there are nine characters, and on this stone tablet, you can see that there are four lines in total, and even if there are five characters in each line, there are still twenty characters. So it must not be the forbidden area of ​​Tiyun Valley."

When Lian Xing spoke eloquently, Da Kui nodded in admiration. At this time, if anyone heard these words, they would definitely not think that they came from a six-year-old child. Da Kui suddenly remembered something, his face turned pale, and he said, "Not good!" Lian Xing asked, "What?" Da Kui said with a mournful face: "Just now, I... I have already entered the forbidden area of ​​Tiyun Valley. Didn't you say that the trespasser will die? What should I do?" His eyes were fixed on Lian Xing, his face full of panic. Lian Xing laughed and said, "I thought it was such a big deal. Let me ask you, did you enter the forbidden area?"

Da Kui said, "Yes." Lian Xing said: "The stone tablet outside the forbidden area says 'Trespasser dies', isn't it?" Da Kui said: "Yes, you know and ask." Lian Xing smiled and said, "Then are you dead?!" Da Kui thought for a while and said, "Yes, I'm not dead. Then..." Lian Xing said with a smile: "The words on the stone tablet are meant to scare children." Da Kui's complexion gradually improved, and he said, "Then can we still enter this hole?" Lian Xing said: "Go in, why don't you go in!" Looking sideways at Da Kui, he said, "Are you scared?"

Da Kui's small face was flushed, and he said loudly: "What are you afraid of? I'm not afraid. I have a gun." After speaking, he strode in. Lian Xing smiled and followed in. The hole is pitch black, and I don't know how deep it is.Da Kui lit the fire pocket, and under the light of the fire, he saw that the hole was not too high, and the wall of the hole was obviously formed naturally, and there were no traces of chisel or chisel on it.It's just that the fire is limited, and you can't see the edge at a glance.Da Kui felt a little scared, took out the foreign gun with his left hand, opened the safety, and was ready to shoot at any time.

Going forward for tens of feet, the terrain is getting higher and higher. After walking a few more feet, a light suddenly shines in front of your eyes, and you can see that you have come to a huge grotto. More than a dozen tallow candles as thick as arms were lit around the grotto, illuminating this huge grotto as if it were daytime. In addition to the cave where the two entered, there is a two-foot-high stone statue in the southeast, northwest, and four directions of the grotto. There is a cave behind the stone statue, but it is slightly smaller than this grotto.The stone on the east is like a dragon head and a human body, covered in armor, clenched in the left hand, and the right hand is empty, as if it was holding some kind of weapon; It has a sharp mouth and red beak, and a ferocious face, as if it wants to choose someone to eat; the stone statue in the north has a small mouth, a bent back, and two small eyes looking straight ahead.

Lian Xing smiled and said, "Look, Big Kui, does the one in the north look like a turtle?" Da Kui looked at it carefully, nodded and said with a smile: "It really looks like it." The huge grotto was empty and there was no one there. The two little urchins were a little bit guilty.Suddenly hearing the sound of iron chains dragging the ground from the middle of the grotto, the two were amazed and walked over to where the sound came from. Walking to the middle of the grotto, I saw a 1 zhang square hole on the ground. Five iron rods as thick as cow legs were horizontally blocked on the ground.Judging from the situation, it seems to be a dungeon for prisoners.

The sound of the chain dragging the ground came from this dungeon. Lian Xing and Da Kui walked to the dungeon, bent down, and looked at the candlelight of the tallow candle on the top of the grotto: I saw that the dungeon had a small mouth and a big belly, and the bottom was about three or four feet wide and seven or eight feet long. A middle-aged man in ragged clothes was walking back and forth in the room.Both his hands and feet were tied with long iron chains, and every time he moved, the iron chains dragged the floor, making a "squeaky" sound. The middle-aged man seemed to feel that someone was watching him, so he turned around suddenly, his eyes were like lightning, and he shouted sharply: "What bastard, sneaky, come out!"

The sound of drinking was like thunder, and the ear drums of the two of them were buzzing. Da Kui scolded: "His grandma's voice is so loud." The two of them looked up, and the middle-aged man also looked up. The man saw that there were two children, his face showed surprise, and for a while, he forgot to speak. After a while, the man suddenly cursed again: "Tell that old thief Li Kaishan that if you want me to tell the secret of the Qiyin Pearl, go and make his grandma's dream come true, don't even think about it!" Lian Xing and Da Kui looked at each other, and thought: "It turned out that the master locked him here."

Da Kui scolded: "His grandma is like this, and she is still mad. One day, let my master teach you a lesson again, so that you can know that I am very good at moving mountains." The middle-aged man's eyes spewed fire, and he cursed: "You two bastards, if I go out, I'll goug out your eyes, you two brats, and you'll cramp and peel your skin..." Da Kui also cursed loudly. Lian Xing pulled Da Kui's hand on the side, and said: "Da Kui, it's getting late, we should go home, so that my fourth aunt won't be in a hurry and has to look for us everywhere." As soon as Da Kui heard his mother was mentioned, he immediately stopped talking, pointed at the middle-aged man in the dungeon, and said: "You who have suffered a thousand dollars, just wait, the young master will come back someday, and take good care of you." The two stood up, Da Kui turned to leave, Lian Xing grabbed him. Da Kui was impatient and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to leave? Why are you pulling me?" Lian Xing looked solemn, pointed at the shadow on the ground with his index finger, and whispered to Da Kui, "Look." Da Kui looked down, and the hairs all over his body immediately stood up.Next to the shadows of himself and Lian Xing, there was a gigantic shadow.
