The best water fairy of crossing

Chapter 53 The Battle of the Wooden House ([-])

I told Ji Baiyu that there was a cave ahead, and Ji Baiyu said that might be an exit.So, we decided to go check it out.

Walking in and taking a look, there are three big characters "Qianhua Cave" engraved on the mountain wall.Ji Baiyu found a branch nearby, and tied the handkerchief she carried with her to it, making a simple torch, and we walked in cautiously.

The cave was very ordinary at the beginning, no different from ordinary earth caves, but the more I walked in, I found that it was actually a karst cave.Under the light of the fire, the stalactites in the cave were immediately dyed a layer of light green, and it felt very beautiful to be in it.

Seeing such a beautiful scenery, I became very excited and began to describe the scene inside to Ji Baiyu.While groping carefully, Ji Baiyu listened carefully.I was happy in my heart, and I spoke more vigorously. It is estimated that this will be the most attentive storytelling in my life.

After walking for about half an hour, three forked roads appeared ahead.Because I couldn't make up my mind for a while, I had to stop.Ji Baiyu stopped at the three forks, holding his breath, and listened carefully to the movement inside.

When he came to the fork in the middle, he suddenly turned around and said that he heard something moving inside.But the sound was very faint, so for a moment he wasn't sure what it was.After all, he held up the torch and let me look inside.But this fork in the road seems very long, the light of the candle is limited, and you can't see anything any further.

I don't have the sensitivity of Ji Baiyu's ears, but when he said there was movement inside, a thought suddenly came to my mind.I was wondering if there would be people locked up inside, and would those people be from Kunlun?

I told Ji Baiyu this conjecture, and Ji Baiyu readily agreed, it turned out that he had the same thoughts as me.The last time Yanhuo asked me to meet Xuanchi and the others, there is no guarantee that he would not transfer them to another place to prevent problems before they happen.

Moreover, from the fact that he ordered Ji Wuxie to poison Xuanchi and the others, it can be seen that Yanhuo is a very cautious person.Without enough certainty, it is expected that he will not take risks easily.

Ji Baiyu held a torch to open the way ahead, and I followed him gently, while being alert to the movement behind him.Even though that old ghost of Taiqing was not awake before we left, how do you know he wasn't just pretending?Maybe he is no longer a threat to us now, but with so many masters sent by Kongtong, Taiqing sent anyone to follow us and seal the entrance of the cave, and we were finished.

However, this is obviously my worrying too much.I turned my head and listened for a long time, but there was no other sound in the cave except Ji Baiyu and I's footsteps.

Halfway through, Ji Baiyu suddenly stopped.I looked forward by the light of the fire, and saw several stone steps appeared in front of me.I turned my head to remind Ji Baiyu carefully, and took the torch, let him pull my sleeve, and walked down carefully.

The steps are very long, and the more you go down, the narrower they become. In the end, only one person can pass alone.After walking through the narrow stone steps, the front gradually opened up.There was the sound of birds chirping in my ears, and a few steps forward, we came to a valley.

In the valley, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the trees are lush. I suddenly feel like I have come to a paradise.

At this time, I saw from a distance that the verdant trees exposed the corner of a wooden house.I told Ji Baiyu what I saw.

Ji Baiyu nodded, and told me not to be reckless, and to take my steps lightly, and wait until I have seen the situation in the past.

The two of us walked lightly and slowly leaned over.At this time, only a sound of laughing and cursing came from the bushes.Both Ji Baiyu and I were startled.Ji Baiyu motioned me to lower my body as much as possible and lie down in the grass.

We hunched over and moved half a foot forward, and the row of wooden houses was only a few feet away from us.I carefully pushed aside the branches and looked forward, and saw a few young men in green robes sitting at a table in the courtyard, drinking and chatting, with a few long swords standing at the foot of the table.I have seen the costumes of Kongtong disciples before, so I knew their identities based on their costumes.

Behind them is a neat row of wooden houses, the doors of the houses are tightly closed and locked.There were also two disciples sitting by the door, those two disciples were not as lazy as the disciples in front of them, their eyes were wide open, their expressions were serious, as if they were very concerned about the movement around them.

Judging by the posture, there must be people locked inside.I leaned against Ji Baiyu's ear and told him what I saw.

Ji Baiyu pondered for a moment, and told me that he judged from the aura of these people that their martial arts were not weak.So let me not jump the gun.

"So when do we do it?" I asked.

Ji Baiyu said softly: "After nightfall, people are most tired at that time, plus the concealment of the night is the most beneficial to us."

I looked up at the sky, and it was just after noon, and it would be several hours before it got dark.I sighed softly and lay down in the grass.

The autumn night made people feel a little cool, and those disciples gathered at the table had already dispersed, sitting on the steps and taking a nap one by one.There was a bonfire on the porch in front of the house, and sparks burst out from time to time, making the night a bit weird.

Ji Baiyu felt that it was almost time, so he whispered a few words in my ear.I nodded, and he and I walked towards the two ends of the corridor respectively.
