Chapter 610 [Lost Cave House]
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang came in time, and with the help of the shark shark, he saved Man Shihu who almost lost his life.
At this moment, Man Shihu didn't seem so smart and capable. He understood that he had been deceived and sighed with a disgust.
Pan Lilai thanked Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang for saving his life. If he had succeeded in the sneak attack just now, then when Man Shihu died, Shihutang would probably fall apart.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang asked Man Shihu what happened, and Man Shihu told them two about the legend of "Puppet Cave".
...
After listening to Man Shihu's explanation, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang said goodbye and left.
Shi Hutang has been strengthened in vigilance. Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang may not be able to save him once, so he can only be careful. To be honest, they understood why Man Shihu was "into a trap" and really didn't want to save him, so they said that they would not survive if they committed suicide.
When I returned to Wuzhuang, it was already very late.
Most of the people in Wuzhuang have rested. Everyone is there in Zhan Zhao and their yard. It seems that the Suzhou magistrate has just left and everyone is discussing the topic of the magistrate.
The shadow guards should have gone to Wuzhuang to report the news first. In other words, before Wei Hengtong came to pretend to be a waste, Lord Bao already knew his purpose, so in everyone's eyes, Wei Hengtong seemed to be here to sing a big show, which was a bit funny.
Seeing Zhan Zhao and the others come back, Zhao Pu was quite curious, "So late? Is there any progress?"
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both looked at Zhao Pu.
The Ninth Prince was standing in the yard and walking, holding the sleeping little Sizi in his arms. The prince was holding the child in a standard posture, and he was shaking and patting gently. The little Sizi was probably sleeping in a cradle now, and he was snoring comfortably.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang tried their best to distinguish Zhao Pu's identity as the "Minister of the Three Armies" from the image of this dad. They sat down and rescued Man Shihu by accident, and the men in black in cloak said that "we must destroy the Central Plains martial arts world."
After the two of them finished speaking, they heard a voice coming, "Destroy the Central Plains Martial Arts again? Are you free or not!"
Everyone followed the sound and found that the sound was coming from the room where Tianzun and Yin Hou were resting. The two elders just drank a bowl of porridge for dinner and said they were sleepy and wanted to go to bed. They should have gone to bed long ago... Are they awake now?
The one who speaks is naturally the Heavenly Lord.
As soon as Tianzun finished speaking, another voice came, which was from Yin Hou. "On average, it's at least once a year. Is it good to send them a plaque with perseverance?"
"Speaking of the Central Plains Martial Arts is really as fierce as Xiaoqiang! Even if you destroy it like this, you should keep it up with it."
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, and it sounded like Lu Tianhan... Why did you get together?
Finally, another voice came, "Amitabha, this joke will not get tired of using it repeatedly... Wula!"
Everyone was stunned, "Hu?"
Gongsun squinted his eyes and looked at the closed door.
Lin Yehuo went over and opened the door and took a look. Okay, the four quilts in the room were all covered on the floor. Xiaowu and Yaoyao were taking a nap. Tianzun, Yin Hou, Lu Tianhan and Master Wusha were sitting on a quilt, using Yaoyao and Xiaowu as their backrest. A small table was also covered with a blanket. Several lanterns were floating in the sky, and four old men were playing horse hangings.
There was a small grill next to the table, with barbecue on it, Tianzun and Yin Hou in their hands, Lu Tianhan and Wusha were drinking a glass of wine, and there were several empty jars of wine on the ground.
Gongsun had set rules before that he was over 80 years old and was not allowed to stay up late at night. He was prohibited from playing horses for more than an hour. He was too greasy during the Chinese New Year and was only allowed to eat vegetarian food and not drink alcohol at night.
Zhan Zhao squinted his eyes and nodded, and he said, "I smelled a barbecue smell from the moment I entered the door, and I thought it was coming from outside."
Gongsun was so angry, "You are still young!"
The four old gods were rushing to collect their horses and hang them.
The little Sizi woke up when Gongsun shouted. When he looked up, Zhao Pu quickly patted and swayed. Soon the little Sizi fell asleep again, muttering in a daze, "Eat more vegetables... don't drink..."
Zhan Zhao and Lin Yehuo were holding their foreheads. He lived like three and a half years old in his life. Bai Yutang was even more helpless. There was only one family in his family, and two in his family! He was so serious that he was led by his master!
The four old men took off their horses and went to bed obediently, and then they heard Gongsun yell, "Everything is gone!"
Everyone was quite puzzled, thinking that they were asleep... But as Gongsun's voice fell, they heard the sound of tables and benches being put away from all over the room. Several rooms even had doors open, and the empty wine jar was put out and the door was closed quickly.
Everyone was speechless.
Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang, what does it mean - what are the differences between your family? I have more than 300 people!
Zhao Pu felt the little fourth son in his arms go away and poked him. The little fourth son was confused and said, "Shhh! Drink quietly, don't tell dad!"
Zhao Pu was amused and crying, and Gongsun looked at the little traitor who had appeared at his home with his eyes squinted.
After sending all the old men and women to bed, everyone continued to discuss.
"I want to destroy the Central Plains martial arts world, so it's not the Central Plains people?" Zhao Pu asked, "Is it a foreign tribe?"
"Meng Xufeng and Wei Hengtong may not know." Gongsun spoke.
Everyone looked at him.
"Do you want to ask your classmate?" Bai Yutang asked Gongsun, "He may also be exploited."
Gongsun was still angry because Meng Xufeng burned all the spirit herbs last time and sighed, "With Meng Xufeng's character, if he made up his mind, it would be useless for anyone to persuade him."
"By the way..." Zhao Pu asked Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, "What kind of legend about the puppet cave you two said just now? "
"Oh, that's the case. It was said that there were originally ten caves on Taihu Lake, but later an earthquake sank one and became nine caves!" Zhan Zhao said.
Gongsun heard it all fresh, and he scratched his head, "I have been reading books all the time and I have been reading nine caves? When did one more appear?"
Bao Yan nodded, "Yes!"
Zhan Zhao continued, "Men Shihu and the others had never heard of it before. About a year ago, there was another earthquake, and there was a legend among fishermen that several new caves emerged from the bottom of the water, all of which had sinking."
Gongsun touched his chin, "It's possible."
"Not long ago, there was a big typhoon." Zhan Zhao poured himself a cup of tea and was about to say slowly, "Every time a typhoon hits, the boats will go to the dock to shelter the wind. The Taihu stone has no wind and is three feet away, and once the wind blows, it is impossible to catch fish at all."
Everyone nodded, that's the case.
"After the typhoon that year, Man Shihu found out that somehow, and many ships were blown away, causing heavy losses." Bai Yutang said, "So when the wind stopped, they all sent people out to find them."
"Will the boat be blown away if it stops in the dock?" Pang Yu narrowed his eyes, "Is there anyone making trouble?"
"Indeed!" Zhan Zhao said, "Man Shihu said that all the ropes used to tie the boat were cut off by humans. At that time, the relationship between the four major sects was not very good, so he felt that it might be the ones from those three major sects."
"Why are these sects so badly in their relationship?" Zhao Pu was curious.
"It's probably because of snatching territory or something. Moreover, the strength of these four companies is similar. No one is afraid of each other and no one is convinced by each other!" Zhan Zhao spread his hands.
Everyone shook their heads, so it was a big deal to squeeze too many sects.
"Man Shihu sent people to find the boat but never returned." Zhan Zhao said, "He thought something was wrong, so he took people to search for it himself. Finally, on Taihu Lake, he found a small boat stranded by the shallows. There was only one little disciple on the boat. He told Man Shihu what happened. It turned out that after they encountered wind and waves, they accidentally entered a shallows. Most of the boats stranded on a small island. The island was a circle and a standard cave, but they all knew several caves on Taihu Lake, but this one had never been seen before... This cave was shaped like a huge spider with dense vegetation on it, with caves but no buildings. It may have not been discovered yet."
Everyone was surprised. Although Taihu Lake is big, it is not a sea after all. Could it be that it was a accident that discovered an uninhabited island? These caves were new caves that came out from the bottom of the water due to earthquakes? That would be a profit! The rules on the water are that if it is an uninhabited island, then whoever finds it will belong to him.
"The people saw some broken boats on the stone shore, and the hall emblem of the Shihu Hall were on it, so they felt that the boats might have been blown here, and everyone got off the boat to the island." Zhan Zhao held his chin and continued, "But when they walked to the island and entered the woods, they found that it seemed that not unoccupied. Many trees on the island were hung with puppets made of tree branches. The dolls were roughly crafted, and all the joints of the body were tied with silver-white silk threads as thin as spider silk, hanging on the tree, with a twisted shape and a little scary."
"Is there anyone on the island?" Gongsun was curious.
"Man Shihu's men patrolled the puppets and walked all the way, and finally came to the front of a huge cave." Zhan Zhao said, lowering his voice, "There is a boundary monument next to the cave, which says, "Puppet Cave!"
Everyone was listening to ghost stories, and they were focused, "The bounded mark means there is really someone above?"
"They entered the cave and found that there were many dead bones in the cave." Zhan Zhao whispered...
Just then, I heard a voice coming from the Tianzun and his room, "Speak loudly!"
Expand the heavens.
Bai Yutang sighed, "You can hear clearly by opening the window."
After a while, the window of the room opened a little, and Tianzun and Yin Hou were wrapped in quilts and slid against the window, listening with relish.
At the same time, many of the houses in other yards have also opened a little.
Gongsun extinguished the lantern, lit a candle on the table, and sprinkled some medicine powder on it. In an instant... the candlelight turned green.
"It's just right!" Gongsun signaled Zhan Zhao, "Continue!"
Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang and seemed to ask - Do you want you to come?
Bai Yutang shook his head, that's what he meant - you should continue.
Zhan Zhao nodded and said, "Later they found this golden puppet doll in that cave!"
After Zhan Zhao finished speaking, he added, "There is still a scroll."
Just as everyone who was listening to the devoted people stared at him, what else is that?
Zhan Zhao spread his hands, "No!"
Everyone gasped.
Zhao Pu opened his mouth and heard the little son in his arms ask, "Is it gone?"
Zhao Pu looked down and said that Xiao Sizi didn't know when he woke up, and he was listening attentively while pulling his arm.
Seeing everyone disappointed, Zhan Zhao smiled badly.
Bai Yutang knew that Zhan Zhao deliberately teased the old men and women who stayed up late and didn't sleep and listened to the "ghost stories", so he continued to say for him, "When those people left with the golden puppet, the puppet's head fell off."
Everyone was stunned.
"Man Shihu sent more than 20 people. One of them reached out to pick up the puppet, which was a young disciple." Bai Yutang continued, "When he picked up the puppet, the other elders blamed him, saying that he didn't know the importance and should have asked his seniors before taking it. If there was an organization, someone else would be buried with him."
Everyone touched their chins, so...
"The young disciple held the puppet and whispered in his heart." Bai Yutang said, "He thought at that time, there was a mechanism to let you bury him!"
"He just changed his mind." Zhan Zhao added, "The puppet's head fell off."
Everyone looked at each other.
As a result, when they left the cave, the young man suddenly slipped under his feet and rolled down the hillside. When he climbed up from the bottom of the mountain, what do you think?”
"Are all those people dead?" Gongsun had a bad premonition.
Chapter completed!
