"Where is this place?" Wei Buzhi said strangely, as if he was asking Tantai Wutian, and seemed to know that he didn't know, so he was just talking to himself.
"Tiankeng Village."
"What?" He didn't expect Tantai Wutian to say a name, and asked in surprise.
"That's right, this is Tiankeng Village."
"What Tiankeng village, what are you talking about?" The little monk Rongxin who was behind was blocked by two people, unable to see the situation in front clearly, asked strangely.
"I remembered where I read the records of this place" Tantai Wutian said slowly.
"What?" the little monk Rongxin asked.
Wei Buchi didn't speak, and while listening to Tantai Wutian's words quietly, he looked at the bamboo building in front of him.
"Rong Xin, do you remember the letter your ancestor gave us before we came down from Banruo Temple?" Tantai Wutian asked the little monk Rong Xin.
"Well, I remember, what happened to that letter?"
"The letter recorded this place, and wrote the name of this place¡ªTiankeng Village."
After a slight pause, Tantai Wutian continued, "Besides, after my uncle asked us to report to my master, one of the places we will investigate when we come to Jiangjin County is this Tiankeng Village."
"right here?"
"Yes, what is written in the letter is exactly the same as the situation here."
"Why have you never mentioned it to me?"
"Why am I bringing this up for no reason? Besides, we met Brother Wei as soon as we arrived in Jiangjin County. How can we have time to talk about Tiankeng Village?"
The little monk Rongxin let out an "oh" and didn't speak any more.
At this time, Wei Buchi had already seen the bamboo building in front of him clearly. It turned out that the outside of the hole was a deep circular pit surrounded by stone walls. The bamboo buildings are connected by a circle of spiral bamboo ladders, all the way to the bottom of the pit.
In the middle of the bottom of the pit is a huge white stone house, and there are also stone houses around the bottom of the pit against the stone walls.
But he stood at the entrance of the cave and looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see a person coming out of the bamboo building, and the doors and windows of those bamboo buildings seemed to be half open, and some window lattices and door leaves seemed to be so dilapidated that they were about to fall off the window frame and door frame. up. It seems that there is no one in these bamboo buildings now, and they should have been uninhabited for a long time.
Wei Buchi listened to Tantai Wutian finish what he had seen about the records of Tiankeng Village, although he didn't know what the letter he was talking about was, but felt that since the location of Tiankeng Village was recorded in that letter, It must have recorded how to enter Tiankeng Village.
So he asked Tantai Wutian: "Brother Tantai, did the letter say how to enter this Tiankeng village?"
Tantai Wutian replied: "It is said in the letter, but I don't know if it is accurate"
"We have come all the way here, isn't this the same as what was said in the letter?" Little Monk Rongxin asked.
"Not necessarily. The layout of this place may have been changed later, as it was not mentioned in the letter of the side road when we climbed up just now."
"Maybe it's just that I forgot to mention it in the letter." Wei Buchi said.
"That's not the case. The letter clearly stated that there was a path leading to the cave, but the path itself is very secret and difficult to find. After all these years, it may be even more difficult to identify, but it didn't mention the fork in the slightest. I thought this It's because when my uncle came, there was no fork in the road, so he didn't mention it in his letter."
Wei Buchi didn't say anything more.
After being silent for a while, Wei Buchi asked again: "Brother Tantai, can the letter mention how to enter this Tiankeng village?"
"Of course it was mentioned."
"Then why don't we go down to explore the Tiankeng Village as mentioned in the letter?"
"Of course, since we are here, we must go in and have a look."
Tantai Wutian said, looking at the cave wall beside him.
"Yes, it really is here."
"What's here?" Wei Buchi turned around cautiously, walked a few steps into the cave, and saw Tantai Wutian and little monk Rongxin looking at a cave wall.
He also followed the line of sight of the two of them, and it turned out that there was a small hole on the wall of the cave, which was as tall as a person. However, the position of the hole was carved very cleverly, taking advantage of a shadow on the wall. Looking carefully, I thought it was just a part of the shadow on the stone wall.
At this moment, Tantai Wutian turned around and looked at the opposite stone wall.
There is also a hole here??This hole is much more obvious than the one just now.
The entrance of this cave is slightly slanted, and the entrance on the stone wall here is often illuminated by skylight, while the entrance on the opposite side is often in shadow.
At this moment, Wei Buchi and the little monk Rongxin also saw the opening on the cave wall.
Wei Buchi asked strangely: "Why are there two cave entrances here? Could it be that these two cave entrances lead to the Tiankeng Village below?"
"Of course it is impossible to have both. One of them is a suspicious hole. If a person walks in, he will immediately step on the flap. Under the flap is a deep pit. The bottom of the pit is full of sharp knives and sharpened bamboo tubes. If a person falls Go on, let your martial arts reach the sky, I'm afraid you will inevitably die."
"Uncle Wutian, which of these two cave entrances is the suspicious cave, and which one is the real cave entrance?" The little monk Rongxin asked curiously.
"Guess what." Tantai Wutian asked him deliberately.
"It's not easy to guess. It must be the hidden hole here that is the real hole to go down. The hole in the open must be a suspicious hole."
Before Tantai Wutian could speak, Wei Buchi said first, "My opinion is exactly the opposite of yours, Young Master Rongxin. The person who set up the mechanism probably already guessed our thoughts, so they might do the opposite , there may be a mechanism in the hole in the shadow, but the hole in the light is the real hole."
At this moment, both of them looked at Tantai Wutian and wanted to hear his final answer.
Tantai Wutian smiled slightly and said: "Do you think that when you come to this cave, if you don't take a step, fall to the bottom and fall to your death, which cave will you see when you turn around?"
"Of course it's at the entrance of the cave." Wei Buchi and the little monk Rongxin said at the same time.
"That's it, Brother Wei, if you didn't know it in advance, what would your first reaction be?"
"Of course I will go to the cave to investigate." Wei Buzhi said.
"If there is a flap trap in this hole, what will happen when you go in?"
Wei Buchi couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat and said, "Naturally, if you don't fall to your death, you will also be stabbed to death by those sharp knives."
"So, if we didn't know it in advance like us, most people would never find the hole in the shadows at all, and would only see the hole in the light. Which one do you think will have a trap?"
Wei Buchi suddenly said: "In this way, what Master Rongxin said is correct. I forgot that we knew in advance that there are two holes." (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
