"Yes, it was a military station during the reign of King Taizong of Korea. It was abandoned later."

"Couple Shi Lang, think about it. If it is a military station, it is built on this mountain. Although it can be far-sighted and easy to defend but difficult to attack, once the stone steps on the north are blocked, the soldiers above may have to wait for death." Ye Ruliu said thoughtfully.

"You mean... there should be an escape passage in this military station." Shi Lang was inspired and his eyes lit up.

"I don't think the builder is so stupid that he doesn't even leave a retreat." Ye Ruliu said firmly.

"Then where will this passage be built? Under the platform?" Shi Lang started to think and thought hard.

"Brother Shi Lang, look, the light from the red eyes shines on the two ancient pine trees on the opposite cliff, and it shines so neatly one on one. I always feel that there must be a lot of stuff here." Ye Ruliu pointed at the two ancient pine trees on the opposite cliff and said to Shi Lang.

"Is this article on two red eyes?" Shi Lang said, unable to help but look up at the two glowing crystals on the rocks on the south side of the top of the Red Eye Peak.

"Let's call Commander Shi and Abbot Xiuneng to study it together."

"Okay, you can wait here for a while, I'll call them." Shi Lang turned around and ran.

After a while, Luo Shiyin, Xiu Neng and Shi Lang rushed over.

"Commander, abbot, look, the two lights shine on the two ancient pine trees opposite, which seems to be giving us some advice." Ye Ruliu reported what she thought and thought to Luo Shiyin.

Luo Shiyin looked in the direction Ye Ruliu pointed, and indeed saw two turbulent ancient pine trees standing on the cliff opposite. They were particularly conspicuous under the irradiation of two beams of light.

"Yes, Sun Tzu's Art of War says: It's a plan to surround the land. It seems that the strategy of evacuating the surrounded land here should be on these red eyes." Luo Shiyin looked at Ye Ruliu with praise and said.

"Why should I climb up and check it out?" Shi Lang volunteered.

"Isn't it a problem?" Luo Shiyin asked worried about Shi Lang.

"no problem!"

"Okay, call everyone over and answer you any time if there is any situation." Luo Shiyin patted Shi Lang's shoulder to show his encouragement to his beloved general.

Soon, except for leaving a few monks to guard the platform, Xiu Neng called all the others over.

Shi Lang prepared his clothes and prepared to reach the peak.

"Be careful." Ye Ruliu helped Shi Lang tighten his belt.

"Don't worry, there will be no problem." Shi Lang comforted Ye Ruliu.

“Be careful!”

"be safe!"

The brothers in the team reminded Shi Lang one after another.

"Don't worry, everyone, wait for my good news!" Shi Lang smiled and waved at everyone, turned around and crawled towards the top of the Red Eyes Peak.

The cliff on the south side of Chiyan Peak can be said to be straight up and down, without any inclination angle. However, because the cracks of the cliffs are covered with plants such as elm, pine, cypress, and jujube trees, Shi Lang did not feel that it was difficult to climb.

It took about ten minutes for Shi Lang to approach the two red eyes, but at this moment, Shi Lang felt a huge black shadow in front of him sweeping out from the crack of the rock above his head, and then his two sharp claws grabbed his forehead.

Shi Lang instinctively shrank his head and avoided this fatal blow. His body lost balance due to this sudden incident and his body was suspended in the air.

Without the support of his feet, his hands, who were slid out of the cracks of the rocks, and his body fell down.

Ye Ruliu, who was looking up on the platform, screamed in fear.

What a Shi Lang. As soon as his body fell, he quickly closed his abdomen and vented his breath. He quickly grabbed a jujube tree on the cliff stone with his right hand. His body swept twice in the air, and his left hand clenched into a crack on the left of the jujube tree. Then, he kicked the mountain rock with both feet to stabilize his body.

Shi Lang took a few deep breaths and tried his best to relax himself. Only then did he see clearly that the one who attacked him turned out to be a white-bellied mountain eagle.

The eagle hovered around in the air, and dived and pecked at Shi Lang. Shi Lang had no choice but to free up his right hand and pull out a short knife from his waist to defend himself.

The white-bellied mountain eagle failed to hit, and then circled and attacked again. It seemed that there was a nest of eagle in the crack of the rock above Shi Lang.

Seeing the white-bellied mountain eagle constantly attacking him, Shi Lang had to stop climbing, grabbing the branch with his left hand, and slashing the fierce eagle that kept flying in with a knife in his right hand.

"Everyone can dodge it!" Bawu on the platform saw that Shi Lang was in trouble, and quickly picked up a stone from the platform and let everyone dodge aside.

Bawu took a few steps back and found a suitable angle. He raised his right hand and the stone in his hand flew towards the white-bellied mountain carving in the air with a "whisper". This time, the white-bellied mountain carving in the middle of the carving's head struggled in the air and fell heavily to the bottom of the cliff.

Seeing that the evil eagle was killed, Shi Lang put away his knife and extended his thumb to Bawu on the platform to show his approval.

Shi Lang wiped the sweat beads from his forehead and continued to climb.

The two eye-like luminescent bodies embedded in the rock are actually two huge transverse elliptical crystals.

Shi Lang first climbed to the edge of the stone eye on the right and tapped the crystal with his hand. The stone body made a "dong dong" sound, and it seemed that it was empty inside. Shi Lang gently pushed the crystal inward, and the crystal was still motionless.

Shi Lang climbed the lower edge of the crystal with his hands alternately and moved his body to the stone eye on the left. Suddenly, his right finger pressed a round bolt-like metal body on the edge of the stone close to the middle of his eyes. Due to the weight of his body, the pressing force was relatively strong. The metal body was pressed down, and there was a buzzing sound. The crystal on the right actually moved into the rock on the right. There was a pitch-black hole behind the crystal.

Shi Lang did the same thing and opened the crystal of the stone eye on the left. Similarly, it was also the black hole inside.

Shi Lang climbed up the edge of the stone, spread his legs and sat on it, then took out the squirrel from his backpack and lit the turtle. With the faint light of fire, Shi Lang discovered that there was a small platform in the hole under the two stone eyes.

Shi Lang jumped gently to the platform, and walked inward with the tinder in his left hand for about three or four steps. On the north side of the platform was a downward stone step. Shi Lang walked down the stone step.

The stone steps extend downward in a spiral shape. Judging from the narrow space above the stone steps, this should be a manually-cut passage. Due to its long-term closed state, there is a strong smell of dust in the passage.

After walking downward for about half an hour, Shi Lang came to the low end of the stone steps. On the wall facing the stone steps, a stone door clearly appeared. There was a circular hole in the stone body in the middle of the right side of the stone door. Shi Lang approached the turtle velvet and looked inward. He saw a rusty utensil inside.

Shi Lang reached into the hole with his right hand, held the handle, and pulled it out with force. The stone door did not react at all. He put the turtle on the ground and used his hands to pull the rusty wrench with all his strength. He heard a "squeaking" sound, and the stone door slowly opened outward.

A cool wind blew in. The wind wrapped around the dusty soil covered with the door outside the stone door for many years, making Shi Lang's face full of dusty soil and grass. He couldn't help but choked and coughed a few times. The tinder on the ground was also blown out.

Shi Lang walked out of the cave and was surprised to find that he had returned to the platform on the east side of Chiyan Peak.

Luo Shiyin and Xiuneng waited for others to hear the movement here and rushed over from the platform on the south side.

"Brother Shi Lang!" Ye Ruliu was the first to run forward.

"Oh, I'm talking about big girl, look at which fairy's hair is stuck on his head. He must have had a fairy meeting with him just now." Shi Tianji pointed to the spider silk on Shi Lang's head and deliberately teased Ye Ruliu.

"Go to yours." Shi Lang pushed Shi Tianji.

When Ye Ruliu saw Luo Shiyin coming forward, she quickly went to the side.

"How is it, there is no problem?" Luo Shiyin asked Shi Lang.

"No problem, there turned out to be an upward passage here."

"Let's go in and take a look!" Luo Shiyin waved his hand and led everyone along the spiral passage inside the stone gate to climb onto the platform at the top of the passage.

"Sir, look, these two oval holes are the glowing places we see from below. There were originally two glowing crystals here. I accidentally touched the mechanism on the edge of the stone from outside, and the two crystals automatically moved into the rock." Shi Lang introduced the situation just now for Luo Shi Seal.

With the moonlight, everyone found that there were two bolt-like metal bodies on the lower edge of the two holes, and their positions were symmetrical to each other with the two outside. It seemed that these two crystals could also be removed from the inside.

Luo Shiyin half-squatted on the platform and looked out, and saw the cliff opposite. Two thick ancient pine trees were right in front of the two stone eyes, but the location was lower than the stone eyes.

"Look, everyone, there are two ropes on the stone wall." Ye Ruliu said, pointing to the stone wall above the inner side of the two stone eyes.

Only then did everyone realize that there were indeed two thick ropes hanging on the stone wall. Li Ruzhu walked over and carried the two ropes down from the wall and placed them on the platform.

"This is a hemp silk oil rope that is commonly used in the army during the reign of Emperor Li Yi of Ming Dynasty. It was processed through special processes and is extremely tough." Li Ruzhu seemed to want everyone to confirm that his words were true, so she deliberately pulled the oil silk hemp rope in her hand with both hands, and it was indeed extremely strong.

One end of the two plates of oil-wired hemp ropes is firmly tied to the stone wall, each plate has two hemp ropes thick and thin. Two rusty steel rings are worn on the two plates of hemp ropes. The other end of the two thicker hemp ropes is tied to a steel claw slightly larger than the ordinary flying tiger claws. The other end of the two thinner hemp ropes are tied to the front steel ring.

Luo Shiyin roughly estimated the distance from the stone eye to the two ancient pine trees on the opposite cliff and the length of the hemp rope. The two plates of oil-wired hemp ropes are enough to connect to the ancient pine trees on the opposite cliff.

It seems that the two ropes are used by the soldiers stationed at this station for escape, and their design is very clever. The four steel rings on the hemp rope can help the four people quickly escape along the rope to the opposite cliff. Then, the subsequent escapers can just pull two thin ropes in the stone eye to retract the steel ring and use it again.
