Ninth Uncle Shi Shaojian

Chapter 129 Encountering Obstacles
The cave was dark and damp, and I couldn't see my fingers when I stretched out my hands. There was the sound of water dripping to the ground.Shi Shaojian took out a lighting talisman, and the light released by the lighting talisman instantly dispelled the darkness, and the surrounding scene came into view.

This cave is as wide as two people and as tall as one person, so walking in alone does not feel cramped and crowded.The cave wall was wet, with dark green moss growing, and where there was no moss, water droplets seeped out of the soil, and then slowly slid down the cave wall.

Holding up the lighting talisman, Shi Shaojian looked around and found a few footprints on the ground. He squatted down and looked carefully, and he was sure that it was left by two people.

Keep going, the footprints still exist.

Ao Tianlong did not lie to Shi Shaojian, this cave is really deep.After walking for a while, Shi Shaojian felt that he was already in the center of the mountain. The endless darkness and the invisible pressure emanating from the towering mountain above made him feel a little uneasy, for fear that the mountain would suddenly collapse.This is really going to collapse, and I can't even run away.

Time passed quickly in his wild thoughts, and another half an hour passed, and there was a faint light at the end of the darkness ahead.

Shi Shaojian was in high spirits and quickened his pace towards the light.

Stepping out of the cave, the eyes suddenly open up, the light is bright, and a lush forest undulates with the mountains.

"That mountain is exactly the same as the one on the map, and it's here!" Shi Shaojian was overjoyed, exhaled a breath of foul air, did not stop, and continued to move forward according to the route on the map.

Over time, the road marked on the map has been covered by weeds, and the road is no longer a road.If it weren't for the nearby mountain topography that has been eroded over the years and there is a reference, otherwise it would be very difficult to find the correct route.

The sun is gradually westward, and the slanted sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves blown by the wind, dazzling people's eyes.

Shi Shaojian stopped to look at the map. He was not far from the tomb of Nuba. Climbing up the hill ahead, he walked a little further and entered a gourd-shaped valley. The tomb of Nuba was in the valley.

……

"Gourd Valley, finally arrived at the tomb of the female demon!"

Standing at the entrance of Calabash Valley, Shi Shaojian showed a slight smile, looked around cautiously, and was about to walk in.

However, the raised foot did not come down.

Because he found a thin spider thread above the grass in front of him, two inches above the ground, connecting the two ends of the narrow gourd valley entrance.

This kind of spider silk is very common, and it can be seen everywhere in the forest, but if there are ten or hundreds of such spider threads appearing at the same time, it is not ordinary at all.

Shi Shaojian squatted down and looked over. There were spider threads on the grass more than ten meters in front of him, no more than three inches from the ground. If Shi Shaojian hadn't been careful, he might not have found it.God knows what would happen if he stepped on that foot.

He didn't know the origin of the spider silk, so he didn't dare to enter it rashly. After pondering for a moment, he turned and left the mouth of Calabash Valley.

More than ten minutes later, Qin Nianguang came back with a rabbit, threw it on the grass in front of him, and stomped his feet hard.

Tutu thought he was doomed, and that the rabbit's life would end in being roasted meat, so he gave up struggling. How could he think that this wicked man would be so kind that he wouldn't eat the cute rabbit.

Luckily he saved his life, Tutu cherished the chance of surviving, and when he heard Shi Shaojian's stomping sound, he immediately turned into the rabbit's father and ran into Calabash Valley on four legs.

All the spider threads at the mouth of the gourd valley were destroyed by rabbits.

"It's really a rabbit!" Shi Shaojian praised, took a breath-holding talisman on his body, and then took an invisibility talisman, squatting in the grass beside the valley entrance and waiting.

After a while, footsteps were heard in the valley, and two men in gray robes came out cursing.

"A descendant?!" Shi Shaojian was taken aback. The gray robes on the two of them were the same as those worn by the descendants who visited Fengcun last time. "What are the descendants doing here? They found The tomb of the female demon? Not good, Tingting Zhuzhu is in danger!"

Shi Shaojian's face changed slightly, his eyes were cold, and he suddenly flied out of the grass.

The two masters who had entered the Dharma Realm heard the noise and were about to turn around to look, when two electric arcs hit them, and they fainted and twitched on the grass without making a sound.

With one hand, Shi Shaojian grabbed one person by the collar, dragged them away from Calabash Valley, and went to a hidden place for interrogation.

He punched out, and the electric arc pierced the palm of one of them. The man woke up from the severe pain, pressed his wrist and wailed, "Brother, do you have something to say, why are you hitting me?"

Shi Shaojian was stunned for a moment, and said with a dry smile: "I thought that all of you descendants are hard-headed, and you won't speak ruthlessly if you don't come."

"Who told you that?"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, let me ask you, what are you doing here?"

"do not know……"

Shi Shaojian raised his fist, and the fist was entwined with electric arcs.The lowering master was frightened half to death, and said loudly: "Brother, I'm just a young man who guards the entrance of Calabash Valley. I really don't know what Deacon Chu brought us here for, and I dare not ask."

"Who is Deacon Chu?"

"It's Deacon Chu!"

"Pretend to be crazy and foolish with me, right? I want to know the details of Deacon Chu." Shi Shaojian said coldly.

"In our Jiangjiao, the head-down master who has reached the Dao Dan level can become a deacon. The deacon is second only to a few adults. The higher the cultivation level, the higher the status of the deacon." The head-down master said honestly .

"What kind of cultivation is this Deacon Chu?"

"The peak of Dao Dan Realm."

Shi Shaojian's heart sank. The peak of Dao Dan Realm is equivalent to the peak of Dao Chang Realm. It is not an existence that Shi Shaojian can contend with now. "How many of you have come?"

"90 people."

"How long have you been here?"

"Five years."

"Jiangjiao has already found the tomb of the female demon?" Shi Shaojian was secretly startled, and continued to ask: "Have you ever seen two girls enter the Gourd Valley?"

"Girl?" The lowering master was stunned for a moment, and poured out bitterness, "Brother, it's been five years in the wilderness here, and I haven't even seen a banshee. How can there be any girl?"

"you sure?"

"I was guarding the entrance of Calabash Valley. I knew a rabbit ran in. I have never seen the two girls you mentioned."

Shi Shaojian heaved a sigh of relief, and became more puzzled in his heart. There is no doubt that Ren Tingting and Ren Zhuzhu have been here, and the footprints left in the cave are enough to explain the problem, but if they hadn't entered the Calabash Valley, where would they have gone?
Seeing that Shi Shaojian didn't speak, the lowering master asked cautiously: "Brother, do you think I'm cooperative? I've answered everything you asked, can you let me go?"

"Let you go back and report the news?" Shi Shaojian asked with a smile.

"Go back to the fart..." The lowering master's tone weakened, and he scolded: "That place where the birds don't shit, whoever goes back is the grandson. If it weren't for someone watching by me, I would have already run away."

"Answer me one more question, and I'll let you go."

Master Jiangtou said happily: "Brother, just ask, I will never hide what I know."

"Did anything unusual happen in Calabash Valley recently?"

"An unusual thing?" The lowering master thought for a while, "Does it count that a rabbit ran into Calabash Valley just now?"

"What do you think?"

"You knocked me out..."

Shi Shaojian had black lines on his face, why did he catch such a funny comparison, "Think seriously, if you don't think about it, you won't be able to leave."

"An unusual thing... Does the sudden vibration of Calabash Valley on the [-]th day of the first lunar month count?"

"The sixteenth day of the first month, are you sure it's the sixteenth day of the first month?"

"I'm sure. Nothing happened in the past five years. I was deeply impressed by the sudden vibration of Calabash Valley."

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, it was Ren Tingting's 20th birthday...
