Chapter 275 Scripture Cave

Chapter 275 Scripture Cave

Two days later.

Xu Shizhong.

The Changhong Sword Sect, which had been silent, suddenly became noisy.

Many lights that had been extinguished were rekindled.

There was a lot of noise everywhere, and many disciples who had been lying down and about to fall asleep didn't know what was going on, so they got up to inquire.

"We are sending something big! The third elder and the disciples of the seventh elder are fighting!"

"Tch! The Third Elder and the Seventh Elder have never dealt with each other, and their disciples often confront each other. We are all used to it."

"It's different this time. I heard someone died!"

"Huh? Someone died?"

"Isn't that true? They have always been very measured!"

"You kid, don't let the wind come to you! We are all from the same school, and we are going to make trouble. How can we risk our lives?"

Many people expressed disbelief.

In their view, it is normal for a sect to have small factions.

After all, the sect is so big and has so many disciples. In order to compete for resources, everyone must have their own Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts.

And their Changhong Sword Party has always welcomed competition, adhering to the principle that blocking is worse than sparing. They often set up arenas for them to compete in martial arts duels, not only to vent their depression, but also to form healthy competition.

However, this approach also has disadvantages, that is, over time, it is easy to form fierce struggles among small groups.

The feud between the third elder and the seventh elder is well known in the Changhong Sword Sect, and both of them have disciples. When they are gathered together, the fight is much more intense than that of other disciples.

But trouble comes after trouble, fight after fight, it is common for someone on both sides to be injured, but there has never been a fatality!

"Really! I'm not going to lie to you! Not only are the other elders up now, but even the leader is alarmed and is summoning the main pillars of the sect to the council hall to deal with the aftermath!"

"Even the leader... what kind of trouble is this going to cause?" someone exclaimed.

"According to the information I heard, three people died and more than a dozen were injured. Two died on the third elder's side, and one died on the seventh elder's side."

"What, three people died? What did they do!"

"It seems that someone from both sides met for a sword fight at night, and accidentally stabbed one to death. Then the people watching the battle started fighting, and they were furious..."

"This...this is something our Changhong Sword Sect has never done in decades! Isn't it going to change?"

"how is it now?"

"The boss is handling it!"

"No! I have to go take a look!"

"I am coming too!"

"Go together, go together..."

People love to join in the fun. When such a big event happens, even if the night is getting deeper, most of the disciples of the Changhong Sword Sect will gather in the meeting hall.

For a time, the meeting hall was brightly lit, bustling and full of people.

In their fiery atmosphere, no one noticed that sometimes a shadow flew across the sky like a swallow, sometimes like a Lingbo fairy, speeding across the ground, heading straight for the back mountain of the Changhong Sword Sect.

Whoosh!

After a while, the shadow came to a cliff and stopped.

The clothes of the Changhong Sword Sect were worn on his body, and his movements were like a ghost, making everything quiet and silent.

Looking out over the cliff, there is no end in sight in the dark night.

Looking down, I saw a large piece of bright light shaking below.

"Is this the sinkhole of the Changhong Sword Sect?" Shadow whispered to himself, quite curious.

If someone familiar with Chu Tang's voice was around, they would definitely recognize him immediately——

It was Chu Tang who was investigating the Changhong Sword Sect at night!

No one else, I just came here for the Buddhist scripture cave under the tiankeng.

It was already the third night after meeting Zhou Ziyu again.

In fact, he had wanted to take action for a long time, but Zhou Ziyu asked him to calm down and wait for the opportunity, and they would create the best conditions for him.

At nightfall, Zhou Ziyu asked him to sneak into the Changhong Sword Sect.

After entering the Changhong Sword Sect in the dark, Chu Tang found out that there was a commotion within the Sword Sect.

He immediately understood: It must be Zhou Ziyu's handiwork!

The reason is to provoke internal strife in the Changhong Sword Sect, cause disputes, attract everyone's attention, and thus relax the defense of the Tiankeng forbidden area.

The two sides in the dispute were probably Zhou Ziyu's people, who started the life-threatening lawsuit among fellow sects.

This is much smarter than directly attacking the Changhong Sword Sect.

If a foreign enemy invades rashly, the Changhong Sword Sect may panic, but they will definitely deploy more troops to guard the Scripture Cave as soon as possible.

When the enemy is unknown, it is human instinct to subconsciously protect one's most precious possessions.

The turmoil caused by internal strife will make them relax their vigilance while being anxious, thinking that it is just an internal conflict and can be dealt with easily.

The situation was just as Zhou Ziyu said, and it really created an opportunity for him, Chu Tang, to go straight ahead.

Along the way, for a mile or two, almost no one doubted his identity, and no one asked him. Instead, they all ran towards the council hall.

Looking down at his Changhong Sword Sect's clothes, Chu Tang was not only impressed by Zhou Ziyu's cleverness - pretending to be a disciple of the Changhong Sword Sect was also the intention of Master Zhou, which indeed played a big role in his sneaking into the Changhong Sword Sect. Convenience effect.

However, now that we are at the edge of the sinkhole and we have to move around later, it is not easy to wear this white outfit.

Under the night, Chu Tang found a hiding place, took off the baggage on his back, and changed into a set of essential equipment for traveling in the world - night clothes.

In addition, Chu Tang also had a long sword tied to his back, which was also the costume of the Changhong Sword Sect.

The burden is not small, and Zhou Ziyu has many things to equip him with.

Chu Tang thought for a moment and pulled out a flying claw.

This claw is tied with more than twenty feet of silk rope, which is both light and strong.

Chu Tang took the trouble to wrap the rope around his waist.

In addition, there is an extremely strong and huge oilcloth umbrella in the bag.

Chu Tang thought for a moment, and then carefully fastened the oilcloth umbrella to his waist.

According to Zhou Ziyu, once something unexpected happens in a tiankeng and you can't find a place to stay, you can open an oilcloth umbrella to gain buoyancy in the air and buy time.

Zhou Ziyu also said that his men have tried this method and that people can indeed use cloth umbrellas to reduce the weight and slow down the falling trend when falling from high altitude.

Of course, the premise is that the umbrella is big and strong enough.

Chu Tang was stunned when he heard it. Isn't this the principle of a parachute? Have the capable people under Zhou Ziyu even figured this out?

Surprised, Chu Tang never had too many things to save his life.

No, he brought them all, and planned to take them all down to the sinkhole.

After some tossing and preparation, I started to observe the environment around the sinkhole.

Soon, I saw a fire, and if I listened carefully, I could hear some conversations.

"The information given by Zhou Ziyu said that there are several houses directly east of the tiankeng, where the Changhong Sword Sect is used to guard the cableway up and down the tiankeng. There are four shifts a day, with each shift ranging from five to ten people. Someone comes to change the defense every three hours. The ropeway that takes turns to guard the upper and lower Tibetan Scripture Cave is also arranged under the tiankeng. As long as someone breaks in, they can send out signals to assist each other... Tsk tsk! This Changhong Sword Sect is really uniquely endowed. !" Chu Tang couldn't help but mutter.

A tiankeng gifted by God was transformed by the Changhong Sword Sect and became a forbidden area for their sect. I have to say that they really have some ideas.

Other martial arts forces also worked hard to find the treasure's hiding place.

Some people build a special place for collection, but have to send a large number of people to guard it, which is sometimes thankless.

Some build secret rooms, such as hidden compartments in the basement, which are as mysterious as they want, but sometimes they make themselves nervous and very tired.

As for other methods, they are even more varied.

The Changhong Sword Sect is much simpler and more crude. It is hidden on the cliff of the Tiankeng. As long as it guards up and down, even a master thief will have to sigh helplessly and return empty-handed. It is really easy and worry-free.

After confirming the location of the guards above, Chu Tang began to look for the foothold of his action: "According to the intelligence, the two most southwesterly locations of these houses are above the Sutra Cave. About thirty feet down from the tiankeng is the Tibetan Cave. The Sutra Cave is located. But there is no ropeway up and down there. If someone makes any noise there, they will be noticed by the guards above..."

Slowly, Chu Tang approached two houses in the southwest.

With his current Qing Gong, after using Moonlighting and Liuxiang, he approached the sinkhole without making any sound, almost as if there was no one around.

Of course, Chu Tang would not be so arrogant as to provoke the guards, nor would he ever think of descending into the sinkhole from the middle of someone else's house.

Without much hesitation, he continued to move toward the southwest, more than ten feet away from the house, and floated up to a pine tree above the sinkhole.

Looking down, the dark sinkhole is filled with dark terror.

As the sage said, when you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares into you.

After just a few glances, Chu Tang was immediately shaken: "Is it worth working so hard for Zhou Ziyu?"

Of course it’s not worth it!

But for the follow-up purpose, he had to compromise.

Sighing secretly, Chu Tang took a deep breath, opened his hands, stepped lightly, and gently swayed the pine tree branches. He was like a bird with open wings, flying into the air with a swish, and then towards the sky. Falling straight down the cliff of the pit.

In an instant, he disappeared.

call! call! call!

The body fell straight down, and there was only the sharp sound of wind blowing in his ears. Chu Tang was extremely nervous.

Although Dashuai's qigong skills made him confident, it was his first time to climb a cliff like this, so he was naturally not in a relaxed mood.

For this reason, he put his hands on the oilcloth umbrella at his waist. If anything went wrong, he would open the umbrella to assist.

Even the flying claws wrapped around his waist are ready to go and can be used as a climbing tool to insert into the cliff at any time.

Fortunately, none of these are needed in the end——

After descending more than ten feet, Chu Tang discovered that the sinkhole was not very smooth, and there were many raised rocks for him to use for strength.

Holding his breath tightly, Chu Tang stretched out his right hand every time he fell one foot, and gently grabbed a handful on the cliff. In an instant, his whole falling trend stopped.

And he also borrowed some strength from it, continuing to fly in the air as light as a bird; like an ape, moving nimbly in the mountains; more like a gecko, sticking its whole body to the cliff and swimming freely.

The fragrance lingers after stepping on the moon, it’s so fragrant!

The qinggong of the Marshal is really extraordinary.

Chu Tang deeply felt the essence of this Qing Gong - there was really no need to breathe!

Breathing it into his stomach in one breath can make him move left and right, up and down in the air, with all kinds of twists and turns, without panic.

He felt like a swimming fish, swimming in the sea, able to freely combine with the water.

Whenever he feels tight, as long as he uses the Qing Gong method, the pores of his skin will open up, and streams of breath will flow from the air into his flesh and blood, providing him with a steady stream of breath and energy!

"Sure enough! Others have Qing Kung, but he is the only one who is flying!" Chu Tang was glad to have obtained this Qing Kung.

With his mind racing, Chu Tang, who had sharp eyes, suddenly noticed a large shiny stone lying between the cliffs five or six feet below.

"Sutra-Tiding Cave!" Chu Tang's eyes lit up, filled with joy.

According to Zhou Ziyu, the Scripture Cave was originally a natural cave. After the Changhong Sword Sect transformed it, they built a huge stone at the door as a step to make it easier for them to go up and down.

And under that boulder is the ropeway to the bottom of the pit.

Taking a deep breath, Chu Tang gently patted the cliff, moved his body slightly, and floated to the top of the stone in a few breaths. He spun his body a few times and landed gently on the boulder.

After getting his feet on the ground, Chu Tang took a long breath, as if he wanted to expel all the turbid energy in his body.

After standing firm, Chu Tang raised his head and looked up. The mouth of the sinkhole was like a giant opening his mouth, as if he was taking a bite into the sky.

The edge of the crater was so black that it turned blue, but the moonlight in the sky was silvery and elegant, and the bright stars were dotted in the deep night sky. It looked beautiful and shocking.

After a long while, he came back to his senses, and his eyes fell on a door in front of him from top to bottom.

Just two iron doors, tightly closed.

There was a thick iron lock on the handles on both sides of the door, locking the door tightly.

In fact, the iron door is not very thick, and it can be broken open with great force whether using palm force or magic weapons.

However, if you dare to hit the door with brute force in the sinkhole, the sound will definitely make a loud bang as the sound reverberates.

Not to mention the guards below and above the pit, this sound can be heard for several miles above the pit.

The same goes for iron locks.

"Zhou Ziyu... what a special lady!" After staring at Suo and complaining, Chu Tang slowly took out something from his arms.

A metal key as long as a palm!

"What kind of people did Zhou Ziyu place in the Changhong Sword Sect? He could even get the key to the door of the Buddhist Scripture Cave?" Chu Tang was deeply shocked.

Yes, it was the key that Zhou Ziyu gave him two days ago.

It is also the key to the Buddhist Scripture Cave.

Zhou Ziyu only said that the key could open the Sutra Cave without disturbing others, and Chu Tang only had to believe in him, without going into details about how it was done.

Chu Tang did not doubt Zhou Ziyu's words.

He had tried his best to overestimate the opponent's energy, but he always felt that he underestimated it.

Taking a breath, Chu Tang looked around.

The moonlight is bright in the sky, the water below is shining, and the surroundings are silent.

Holding the key, Chu Tang approached the door of the Buddhist Scripture Cave step by step and carefully inserted the key into the lock.

The key and the lock fit perfectly, not one centimeter longer or one centimeter shorter, everything was just right.

While admiring, Chu Tang gently twisted it, and with a subtle snap, the iron lock opened.

Holding the iron lock in both hands, he gently placed it on the ground. Chu Tang did not dare to be reckless when opening the door. He used a clever force to push the iron door slightly.

The iron door slowly opened under his support without making a sound, and then slowly opened an opening that could allow one person to enter or exit.

Like gentle breeze and drizzle, Chu Tang slipped through the opening silently——

He had quietly infiltrated into the Changhong Sword Sect's scripture cave!
