When I looked at the time, it was past three in the morning and I had slept for less than 4 hours. Two of the three torches had been extinguished, and the dim light of one torch was reflected in the cave. Everyone's faces looked sallow and horrifying in the fire. In the entire cave, there was only a sound of a fountain flowing in the water, and the atmosphere was filled with strangeness, helplessness and sadness, which made people feel suffocated.

"When did Huang Ying disappear? When did Lao Yang go to find her?" I put my backpack on, then put the dagger on my waist, looked at the black and fainted front, and yawned.

"We don't know when Huang Ying disappeared, but Lao Yang has just walked for a few minutes." Seeing that I had packed up my equipment and knew I was going to set off, Ouyang also tidied up the carpet and backpack. "I heard Lao Yang get up in a hurry and wake up and ask him what he is doing. He said Huang Ying was gone, and then took out a flashlight and walked forward."

Everyone woke up, although they didn't sleep well, they finally got some energy. I immediately said, "It's still the same. You three women stand in the middle, I'll walk in the front, Hei Biao, you go in the back, we have to follow Lao Yang as soon as possible! Everyone wears a headlamp hat, Hei Biao, you hold this torch." After that, I lit a new torch, thought for a while and was worried, so I immediately took out a cinnabar yellow paper brush from my backpack and drew a talisman to avoid the shade for each of them.

Since the ancients said there were "killers" in this secret passage, I must be careful. Killers often refer to ghosts in the mountains and fields. This is a kind of physical evil thing, commonly known as "mountain mandrills". It is a monster that grows in the extremely yin places of the mountains that specializes in eating evil insects and beasts. It can cultivate human-shaped human forms. Because its physique is extremely yin, it cannot see the sunlight and is infinitely close to "ghosts". Therefore, this monster is also called "mountain ghosts". In the secular world, some mountains are located in the yin veins of the world, and are also in the caves of the big mountain in the mountain. Or Shengshan

In short, it is extremely rare. According to Xuanmen classics, it is common in the Qinling Mountains, Zhongnan Mountains, Yinshan Mountains, and Zhongshan Mandrills. Mandrills can be used to refine "Rongyang Pills", which is a treasure of complementary yin and yang in Taoist practice. In the past, Taoists often went to the deep mountains and old forests to catch mandrills. In Taoists' eyes, the mandrills are full of treasures, with their cortex, blood, bones, and even internal organs are useful in practice or medicinal materials. If you can capture mandrills alive, Taoists who practice can even tame this kind of ghost for their use, or refine elixirs and collect medicines for Taoists, some extremely dangerous

Herbs are grown on the cliff, and people cannot reach it, but the mandrills jump and run, and their bodies are very feminine, very similar to monkeys. Because mandrills can also practice Taoism and reach the highest level. It is said that they can still ascend, and even if they cannot ascend, they can still transform into human form, but they can usually only transform into the first person it sees. According to the records of Xu Shanji, a master of Feng Shui and Yin and Yang in the Ming Dynasty, in his "Tianren Daoxuan", the mandrills have achieved success in their cultivation. When they are about to transform into human form, they will come out of the mountain at night. When they come to the mountain road, they will quietly follow the first person when they see it. Then, while the person is not prepared,

Jump forward, cover the face with both limbs, wait for a moment, and then leave, and then cover the face with the upper limbs covering the face, which can turn into the face of this person. People who have been covered by the mandrills are said to gradually die of illness. Because their faces are "robbed" by the mandrills, the yang energy is also stolen by the mandrills. Therefore, when the mountain people in the deep mountains of the Qinling Mountains used to walk on the mountain road at night, they would apply a layer of tung oil or vegetable oil on their faces to make their hands slip when covering the mandrills. Moreover, the tung oil has the power to devour the Yin, which can corrode the mandrills' palms, and can also intimidate the mandrills not to harm people.

The demons of the mandrill are also evil. The talisman of the shaman should be able to overcome them, but they can only target some mandrills with simple cultivation. I let everyone hold them in my hands, and then we and our group walked towards the front hole.

Two torches can also make it clear within five meters of the cave. I am very sure how deep the cave is. Ge Xuan, an ancient man, only described the secret passage of this secret passage as "dangerous", but did not say how long it was. After walking for a few minutes, I slowly stopped and said, "Since Lao Yang has only been walking for a few minutes, he should be not far from us. Why is there no light ahead? He must have been holding a flashlight."

"Why don't we call him?" Ouyang walked forward and said.

"No, you can't shout." I shook my head, "This cave is so deep, I don't know what hidden weapons are in front of me, and even the rock walls above us, above and below our heads, no one can guarantee whether it is natural and stable. He shouts loudly. If the sound triggers the resonance of some mechanism, it is not a good thing!" I once encountered an avalanche in the Rocky Mountains in the United States, because someone shouts loudly under the snow mountain. Of course, all necessary conditions must be met, but for now, this cave is full of mysterious and strange signs. It is better to have less than more things.

However, as soon as I finished speaking, I heard a scream of "Ah" coming from afar in front of me.

"It's Lao Yang!" I immediately looked at it, "Let's go! It seems like there is something dangerous!" Immediately, I spread my legs and ran forward. The distance of the sound should be fifty or sixty meters away.

"It is rare for Master Jiu to shout like this when encountering something. Mr. Fang, is there something..." Hei Biao, who was running at the end, became a little nervous, and was naturally worried about his master's safety.

"This cave is very strange and no one can tell." I replied. I naturally know how steady Yang Tiancong is, but this is a cave that everyone has never visited. It is an unknown terrifying environment, and there are many things we don't know. If you really encounter any strange things, even the steadfast and bold people will be involuntarily panic.

After just running a few steps, he heard Yang Tiancong calling Huang Ying's name again, and his voice was extremely panicked.

After running for a while, he saw a light swaying in the anti-trafficking place in front of him. It should be Yang Tiancong. Yang Tiancong should have seen the light on us, so he heard him shouting: "Mr. Fang!"

"Old Yang, don't shout, we're here." I responded in a low voice, and ran about thirty meters. The road turned back and there was an open area. The cave area here was larger than the caves along the way, and there were several cylindrical stones on the ground of the cave, like stone benches and stone platforms, as if they were placed here thousands of years ago for those who were passing by to sit and rest. Lao Yang was standing on the highest stone pillar, illuminating everywhere with a mine lamp.

"Old Yang, what happened?" I walked up to me and asked.

"I feel that Huang Ying is nearby. I followed all the way and heard a woman talking nearby, but after I followed, I didn't see anyone." Lao Yang looked extremely uneasy. It was obvious that he was extremely worried about Huang Ying. One of his loyal bodyguards had just died outside the cave. Huang Ying, who had disappeared, was his confidante. He was naturally so anxious that he was furious.

"I mean, what did you start calling me? " I asked.

Old Yang jumped off the stone pillar and said, "Look at this!" He pointed to the stone pillar he had just jumped off.

When we surrounded us, we were naturally shocked, especially Ye Jiaoyi and Daniel, who were so scared that they were so scared that they leaned towards me.

There were three corpses lying among the stone platforms, but they were not corrupted, but their faces and hands had already dried and black, and their bodies seemed to be drained. It seemed that there was only a white bone left, with white teeth exposed, like zombies. After identifying their ancient costumes, they looked at the long robe. These three people looked very much like the Song and Ming dynasties. They all had swords. They saw that there was no trauma on their bodies, and they didn't know why they died. There was no doubt that in history, outsiders had stepped into this steamed bun cliff. Perhaps they came to find the hanging city of the Yang Leiju clan, and probably most of them died in the "corpse pool" where corpses appeared outside the cave. After finally entering a few, they died in the side of the stone pillar platform.

"I followed me in a daze. When I saw these three corpses, I suddenly thought Huang Ying was lying here." Old Yang rubbed his eyes, "Damn, Qiangzi died. I just felt that the mental pressure was too great. Huang Ying was brought by me. If she had another terrible condition, Yang Tiancai would be unable to wash away my evil deeds in this life!"

"This cave secretly says that there are three Netherworld Springs below, and there are caves for ventilation, and the mountain yin energy is watered above. If people die here, it is indeed not easy to corrupt. These three corpses, if they are not from the Song Dynasty, or from the Ming Dynasty, have been at least five or six hundred years. Let's stay away from the corpse. If the corpse is not rotten, it is easy to absorb the yang energy of people. If there is a risk of corpse transformation, stay away!" At this point, we all avoided a little, but my eyes fell on the swords of several people, "So, Lao Yang, Huang Ying disappeared? What abnormality has she encountered?"

"When you are still asleep, I was in a daze. When I saw Huang Ying climbing up, walking alone towards the cave, I thought I was dreaming, and I didn't get up in time. After all, it was too sleepy." Lao Yang slapped his face, "When I woke up suddenly, I found that Huang Ying was not by my side, and there were no people in front of me. I immediately got up and went to find her. I thought how far she could go, a girl could go, and I could carry her back by running up alone, so I didn't wake you up. As a result, I followed this all the way, probably hundreds of meters. I just heard a woman talking nearby, but I didn't see anyone."

I nodded and told me intuition that Huang Ying should be fine. And I had calculated her birth date in the Huang Mansion Courtyard a long time ago. This girl who is very strong and dares to love and hate can enjoy the blessing of her seventies, but I will not tell them about her lifespan of relatives and friends. Seeing Lao Yang’s face heavy, I said, “Huang Ying will not be a big deal, don’t worry. In this way, there is an unknown inside the cave, so we should not stumble on the blind. Tell me some signs of her getting up and leaving. I see if there is any sign of hexagram to play.”

Lao Yang thought for a moment and said, "If you want to tell me the signs, I was in a daze at that time, and I didn't see clearly what she had done. I didn't know what she had done when she got up, and I only saw her shaking forward, and I didn't know anything else."

"Shake?" I felt a little grateful, "But that's it?" I also swayed my shoulders and took a few steps.

"Yes, that's it, it's like sleepwalking-" Lao Yang said this, his body suddenly stumbled, clapped his hands, staring at me with wide eyes, "Mr. Fang, I understand what you mean! You mean, she is like..."

I nodded and said, "Yes, I'm afraid, this yellow oriole is sleepwalking too! Just like Xiaolan before!"

"Yes, I really didn't expect it! Huang Ying, this girl, has been with me for a while, and I have never seen her sleepwalking. Could it be that she was really sleepwalking tonight, her first time sleepwalking?" Lao Yang stared at me tightly, as if she had discovered a new continent.

I was naturally strange and inexplicable. I had never heard Lao Yang mention that Huang Ying had sleepwalking, but when she came to this mysterious and monster-ridden cave, she began to sleepwalking! Is it because she was indeed too tired and panic today, or was it another coincidence, or other reasons?

"Then I will divine a hexagram first. As long as there is a moving line, I can make a hexagram." After that, I used Yi to make a hexagram, but just as I was about to make a hexagram, I heard a light footsteps coming from the front of the cave!

"Yellow Oriole!" Lao Yang shouted immediately and saw a black shadow stumble in front of the cave.

"Everyone, come here!" I shouted, "Hold the Yin Avoidance Talisman!" Everyone immediately leaned towards me, not for anything else. I suddenly felt a gust of Yin Qi attacking.

But as soon as the black shadow entered the torch lighting range, it seemed to make everyone breathe a sigh of relief - it was Huang Ying!

"Huang Ying!" Lao Yang took a step forward and was about to meet him, but I grabbed him, "Lao Yang, slow down! Miss Huang Si seems to be not awake yet. Haven't you seen her eyes squinting? Wait for her to wake up a little! Let's continue to look at these corpses!" After that, I looked at Huang Ying and pulled Yang Tiancong, who was confused by the monk, to the three ancient corpses, and said softly: "There is a problem." Lao Yang stared at me and nodded.

Seeing Huang Ying standing still staring at us, I looked at the three corpses again, and became more sure of my judgment. My palm couldn't help but sweat. But my eyes fell on the swords of the three corpses again. I kicked a sword, but saw that the sword sheath was already rusted into one piece, making a "bang" sound, and kicking another sword again. The same is true. However, when I kicked the third long sword, I suddenly saw a flash of sparks on the scabbard, and a clear "ding" sound passed by, as if I was pulling a knife to cut off the water. I was like a sword dancer cutting iron. I felt a sword energy attacking and my body couldn't help but retreat backwards!

Old Yang also retreated and stared at me with a shocked expression: "This sword...a good sword!"

I pulled out a dagger, cut off a piece of cloth from my coat, wrapped the sword with cloth, and picked up the sword. But I felt that the sword was very heavy, weighing at least seven or eight pounds. I saw a bronze scabbard flashing with a layer of strange light in the light and shadow of the torch, and two words were engraved on the scabbard. I looked at it for a long time before I realized that it was a large seal script font. When I saw the large seal script, I instantly thought of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The large seal script font was a common font used by Qin Shihuang before the unification of the seven kingdoms. After careful identification, these two large seal scripts turned out to be "Juque"!

"Old Yang, Juque Sword!" My heart beat faster, my eyes lit up, and then I glanced at it again. Yes, these two words were indeed "Juque". "As soon as I looked at this sword, I felt that the sharpness of the sword's scabbard was different, and it was indeed not an ordinary thing!"

"Juque? No, right?" Lao Yang made a cold war. "The master of sword-making, Ou Yezi, was a master of sword-making, and the historical rumor that "seven feet away from the sword energy is ubiquitous" is a treasure of King Goujian of Yue. How could it fall into this cave?"

I held the hilt of the sword and slowly pulled it out, but I saw a squirm of snow. With a "swish", a strong aura came out of the sword sheath. I held the sword sheath and retreated two steps again. I stood firm, but I saw the Huang Ying in the distance, who also took a step back slightly, staring at the sword filled with snow in my hand, with a different expression.

"The Juque Sword, the blade is three feet long, the handle is five inches long, the blade is about two inches wide, and the weight is about five kilograms. When it is swung, the sword energy is scattered and can resist the enemy three steps away. It is an unparalleled sword cast by Ou Yezi..." This is the allusion my master once told me, and I have read many classics and have some understanding of the Juque Sword. Ou Yezi cast this sword for King Gou Jian of Yue, saying that this sword should not be "easy to be unsheathed". Before he drank blood, he could "seven feet away, the sword energy is scattered". Legend has it that when the Juque Sword was first completed, King Gou Jian of Yue sat on the dew, and suddenly saw a carriage in the palace out of control and rushed straight, which scared the palace to support him.

Bai Lu, so Goujian drew out the Juque sword and pointed at the raging carriage, trying to order the warriors to come forward to stop it, but when he drew the sword finger, the sword energy in his hand had already broken the carriage into two pieces! Goujian also ordered people to take a large iron pot, and stabbed the sword with this sword three steps away, and stabbed the iron pot into a big gap. This sword was effortless, just as easy as cutting rice cake. Therefore, King Goujian of Yue named this sword Juque, and was famous for its "Sword Aura". When it swung it, the sword energy was scattered and could "pass through a copper cauldron, and the iron pot was cut into pieces, so it was called Juque."

The Juque Sword was first owned by King Goujian of Yue in history and gradually lost. It was recorded that it was later acquired by the Qin prime minister Li Si, and later it was reported to the Emperor Gaozu of Han Liu Bang. It was later said that it was passed to the Emperor Sima Yan of Jin, and there was no news during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. However, during the Tang Dynasty, it was said that it was obtained by the Tang general Guo Ziyi, and the whereabouts of the Juque Sword were no longer available. However, more than three hundred years later, "Yinlin Xian Bi" recorded that when Wang Xiaobo and Li Shun of the Northern Song Dynasty revolted, Li Shun held a sword that was "Juque". Ten steps away, the sword energy could seize the life of the general Zhao Song. In 994 AD, Li Shun failed and was killed in Shu by the Song army. However, the unofficial history also recorded that Li Shun escaped from the shell and led his remaining troops to escape to western Yunnan. Since then, there has been no historical writing.

If this sword is really a famous sword in the pre-Qin period, it was cast by Ou Yezi, the master of the sword-casting master, and the three corpses in front of him seem to be from the Song and Ming dynasties (there is no obvious difference in the clothing of the Song and Ming dynasties, of course there are still differences, but I can only roughly see the black lacquer land of this cave. Moreover, the clothing for hundreds of years has been damaged and corrupted. Besides, the body has not rotted, so I dare not look closer). Could it be that one of these three corpses is Li Shun, the leader of the Northern Song Dynasty uprising?

Could it be that Li Shun led the remaining troops, wearing the peerless sword "Juque", to escape to the Kunlun Mountains in the northwest of Sichuan, and found the place where the hanging city was, but died in the secret passage of the cave? Most of the zombies outside the cave were Li Shun's soldiers?

Whether this long sword is a "juque", no matter whether it is official or unofficial history, it is impossible to verify. At least, this sword is not a common thing. Looking at the thick layer of patina on its bronze scabbard, I think it has a history of at least two thousand years. In particular, the other two swords have already rusted iron, but it still flashes with a sharp edge and shines with cold light.

I put the sword in the sheath, walked over again, staring at the silent yellow oriole, and the yellow oriole stared at me tightly with her eyes.

"Swish"!

I pulled my sword out of the sheath again and pointed it straight at the yellow oriole. I heard a "whisper" sound in the air. A strong wind attacked the yellow oriole from the tip of the sword. The yellow oriole moved and flashed five steps away in the blink of an eye!

"I really have sword energy! I'm afraid it's really 'Juque'!" Old Yang exclaimed.

"Oh!" Everyone shouted. Have they ever seen Huang Ying move so fast?

With this long sword full of cold light in my hand, the imperial gift dagger on my waist was so inferior.

"The demon is still not showing up!" I shouted loudly, "With this sword-casting master Ou Yezi's 'Juque', who is here, slaying demons and ghosts, and is invincible. You killed the master of the Death Sword a thousand years ago, and you can know that I can use this sword to kill you!"

"Fang Yin!" Hearing Ouyang's exclamation, "Look, there are so many here!"

I immediately looked back and saw many people standing behind me, but it seemed like they were cloned, two Ouyang, two Yang Tiancong, two Ye Jiaoyi, two Daniels, and two Hei Biao!

No matter what shape, clothes, or expression, they are exactly the same!
