Hearing this address,
Xie Lian was startled.
Only then did he notice that the young man's voice was a little familiar. He must have heard it a few times before. He then looked at the young man's wrist. Although the wrist was covered by the sleeve, he could confirm it.
Under the sleeve.
There must be a Black Curse hidden there.
Pei Ming also stood up.
He further confirmed the identity of this black-robed youth. "His Highness Yin Yu? It was true. I didn't expect to see you here. What are you … "
Yin Ying scratched the bridge of her nose with her jade-like fingertips and returned the greeting.
He said, "Ling Wen Zhenjun.
General Pei, Little General Pei. "
Suddenly,
A voice snorted, "Guiding jade? You're the Yin Yu who was utterly defeated by your own Junior Brother? "
The expressions of the few Heavenly Officials stiffened.
The voice continued, "I say, aren't you too useless? Not to mention being demoted.
He directly went to work as a thug and compared himself to that Quan Yizhen.
You're really not doing well. And you're his Senior Brother … "
This voice came from Rong Guang, who was hiding in the jar. Pei Su immediately stuck a talisman on him to shut him up.
Although,
He was also one of Jun Wu's subordinates.
He was just a servant under the City Lord of Hua City, so there was no difference. However, the God Priest of the past.
Today, he was the Ghost Emissary, and now he was in the same room with so many Immortal Friends of the past. To make an analogy, it was like a constable becoming a thief and being caught by his old colleague. The atmosphere was filled with an awkward atmosphere. No one knew what to say, so Yin Yu could only silently turn around and continue digging with the Earth Master Shovel.
Pei Ming was still concerned about the whereabouts of her friend's younger brother. She said, "Since Hua City Lord was able to obtain the Earth Master Shovel, it means that the two of you are still in contact? I recall that when I asked His Highness the Crown Prince about it, the Crown Prince even defended you, saying that you weren't familiar with the Dark Water Profound Ghost and didn't know his whereabouts. Can I trouble you to inform that profound ghost to release him if he didn't kill Qing Xuan? "
But Hua Cheng said, "You're wrong. I really don't know where Blackwater is. "
"Where did this shovel come from?"
Hua Cheng said, "I picked it up."
"…"
Even if he didn't admit it, what could he do? They couldn't do anything to him. Furthermore, everyone needed his help in this situation. Pei Ming could only say, "Alright. City Lord Hua's luck is really good, to be able to pick up a treasure so easily. "
Ling Wen, who was being carried on Pei Su's shoulder, said out of habit, "This treasured spade belongs to the Heavenly Officials of the Heavenly Courtyard. Shouldn't City Mistress Hua return it to its rightful owner …" Before he could finish his sentence, he realized that he was no longer serving the Heavenly Courtyard. No, there was no need for him to help collect the debt.
Xie Lian rubbed the space between his eyebrows. When he was still thinking whether he should ask secretly, he heard Hua Cheng whisper in a voice that only he could hear, "Heishui threw it. After he stopped pretending to be a Geomancer, he left the shovel in the Ghost City and ran away. Before entering Bronze Cauldron Mountain, I thought it might be useful, so I sent someone to retrieve it. "
Xie Lian said, "So that's how it is. I had thought that I would be able to find out the whereabouts of the Wind Master … … This treasured spade is just right for dealing with the mountain monsters. San Lang has truly considered everything thoroughly and has calculated every possibility."
Hua Cheng said, "It's just that I was chased by the mountain monsters back then, so I learned my lesson."
Xie Lian couldn't help but imagine Hua Cheng's appearance as a newbie when he first entered Bronze Cauldron Mountain. At this moment, a few small silver lights lit up in the darkness. It was the faint phosphorescence of the Dead Spirit Butterflies. Xie Lian held onto a small silver butterfly as he looked up and said, "What exactly is this mountain monster? Why are they attacking us? "
Hua Cheng said, "It's hard to say. When I came, they had already existed for a long time. However, they didn't attack us. They would stop anyone who wanted to enter Bronze Cauldron Mountain. If they couldn't stop them, they would attack. "
Xie Lian said, "Attack indiscriminately? If that's the case, it's the same as our goal. Right now, the Rain Master and Prince Qi Ying are both in Bronze Cauldron Mountain. I hope they won't be in danger. "
Yin Yu had been diligently digging the earth. When he heard Xie Lian mention Quan Yizhen, his movements seemed to slightly slow down. Xie Lian noticed it and swept his eyes over him. He remembered that when he was wearing a mask, he had met Quan Yizhen once. However, at that time, Yin Yu acted as if he didn't know Quan Yizhen at all. If Quan Yizhen knew that the person standing in front of him was his senior, what would he do?
Ling Wen reluctantly raised his head and said, "Your Highness Yin Yu, have you seen Prince Qi Ying? He came to my Ling Wen Palace Hall and asked me to help him find you many times. "
Yin Yu paused for a moment and said, "Is, is that so?"
Ling Wen said, "Yes. When you first went down, he came almost once a day. Later on, there was no news of him. He only came once every three days, once a month, and not long ago, once a year. He always felt that there was a misunderstanding between you and the Embroidered Gown Immortal. He wanted to hear your explanation and help you explain to others. However, there was no news from you. "
Yin Yu didn't say anything. He just sighed and dug even more fiercely. Xie Lian said in his heart, "He doesn't want to talk anymore."
Ling Wen was also a smart person. He could hear this, so he kept his mouth shut and left Yin Yu to concentrate on clearing the way. After an unknown amount of time, Yin Yu finally said, "City Master, Your Highness the Crown Prince, we've already advanced thirty li underground. Should we continue digging?"
When that Earth Master Shovel moved through the earth, it moved like the wind, as if it was cutting tofu. Furthermore, there wasn't any debris piled up. In addition, the group of people had the mentality of escaping, so they walked even faster than if they were walking on the ground. In a short while, they had actually run thirty li. When Xie Lian heard him ask him, he felt it was a bit strange. He warmly said, "You don't have to ask me."
Hua Cheng said, "It's the same no matter who you ask. What does Brother think? "
Xie Lian thought for a moment and said, "When we were attacked by the mountain monsters, we were almost out of the canyon. Thirty li should be far enough. There isn't enough air circulation underground. If we stay here any longer, I'm afraid we'll get dizzy. Let's dig upwards. "
Yin Yu answered, "Yes!" He immediately changed his direction and dug upwards diagonally. He even built beautiful dirt steps. Xie Lian thought to himself, "This person is really good to be an assistant. His hands and feet are nimble, and he doesn't say a single word of nonsense."
Everyone followed behind Yin Yu and walked up a few dozen steps. Suddenly, Xie Lian felt his feet step on a hard protrusion. It didn't seem like a rock, nor did it seem like mud. Lowering his head, he squatted down and used his hands to dig. After a moment, he frowned slightly. When Hua Cheng saw this, he said, "Brother, don't move!" However, it was already too late. When Xie Lian stood up, his left hand was already holding up a skeleton. His right hand was also holding up a skeleton. He said, "Everyone, I have a question. Did we dig into a mass grave? "
Meanwhile, Pei Ming also pulled out a thigh bone from the dirt wall at the side. He sighed and said, "Probably. Looking at this bone, it was definitely a stunning beauty with slender legs when she was alive. For her bones to be buried here, it really is a pity. "
Hua Cheng said, "It's a pity. It's true that the legs were long, but this is a man's bone. "
When Pei Ming heard that it wasn't a woman, she threw away the thigh bone with a lack of interest. Hua Cheng then said, "To be precise, it's the bone of a man who transformed into a ghost. Therefore, there's definitely corpse poison on it."
Pei Ming spread out his palms. Sure enough, the places where his hands had gripped the bone started to emit a cyan corpse aura. Ling Wen said, "Can't you control your own hands? Can you? "
Pei Su said, "Corpse, poison, no harm. General, army is a Heavenly Magistrate. Once, it'll be fine! "
Truthfully speaking, that thigh bone wasn't only slender, it was also quite sturdy. When it was waved around, it gave off a strong gust of wind. Pei Ming still picked it up and wrapped a few strips of cloth around its end. It seemed like he was planning on using it as a weapon. He said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, how come you're fine holding those two skulls?"
Xie Lian gently put down the two skeletons and spread out his hands towards everyone. As it turned out, the palms of his hands were also cyan. However, that cyan color was rapidly fading away.
Xie Lian said, "To tell you the truth. The number of times I've been poisoned by corpse poison, if not a thousand, then at least eight hundred. Therefore, right now, my resistance is already extremely strong. This level of corpse poison is still fine. "
Hearing this, everyone felt inexplicably comical and wanted to laugh. However, Hua Cheng didn't seem very happy. When he walked over, he stomped the two skeletons into pieces.
Xie Lian was originally quite at ease, but after hearing these two rough and even fierce 'crack crack' sounds, he sensitively caught onto Hua Cheng's unhappy mood. He wanted to ask what was going on, but he inexplicably felt that Xie Lian's unhappiness seemed to be caused by him. Thus, he was too stunned to ask.
After a short while, he heard Hua Cheng calmly say, "Why did it take so long to dig?"
The distance between this tunnel and the surface should be at most twenty feet. Even if digging diagonally upwards would take a bit longer, it shouldn't take this long to dig. Yin Yu gloomily said, "I also find it strange … … wait, we're here, we've dug through!"
Just as Hua Cheng finished asking, the front end of the Earth Master's shovel dug through. After digging through, Yin Yu dug out a large hole with the shovel a few times. Taking the lead, he jumped out and said, "We're … … out?"
Everyone climbed out. However, when their feet stepped onto the 'surface', they all felt strange. Pei Ming said, "We've returned to the surface? It can't be. What place is this? "
The place they came out from was definitely not the surface. That was because the light was extremely dim. Ling Wen said, "Just now, when we left the canyon, it was still daytime. There's no reason for the sky to darken so quickly."
Several Dead Spirit Butterflies flew out with a faint phosphorescent glow and circled around. Everyone could finally see where they were now.
This was a huge cave. It was spacious and spacious, and the dome was extremely high and wide, like the ink-colored night sky. In all directions, there were countless small caves, and each cave led in a different direction. Xie Lian curiously asked, "Was this place artificially dug, or was it naturally formed?"
Hua Cheng crossed his arms and glanced at it before saying, "It was naturally formed."
Although he still answered all of Xie Lian's questions, Xie Lian kept thinking about the small bit of abnormality he had felt just now. Hua Cheng then said, "The digging point we chose just now just happened to be pressed against this mountain. We dug into this mountain. "
Xie Lian nodded and said, "So that's how it was. Then let's hurry and find an exit. "
Pei Su said, "But, which, way, do, we, go?"
This was truly a difficult problem. Other than those small holes that a person couldn't fit through, there were still seven or eight holes that a person could pass through. Xie Lian crossed his arms and pondered. Pei Su said, "Split, can, we, move? As fast as we can. "
Xie Lian put down his arms and said, "No, moving separately is a big taboo. If there's something hiding in the dark, it'll be too easy to destroy them one by one. It's better to find the right path slowly than to split up. "
Pei Ming held the new weapon made from the thigh bone in her hand. She seemed to be addicted to waving it around as she said, "Then let's move together. We'll take this path first."
Thus, everyone chose a path and moved together. Hua Cheng and Xie Lian took the lead. After walking silently for a while, Xie Lian probed in a small voice, "San Lang?"
Hua Cheng's expression had already warmed up. He said, "Brother, do you want to ask something?"
Xie Lian couldn't really ask him if he was a little angry just now, so he casually said, "Nothing. It's just that … … this cave is as winding as intestines. I feel a little dizzy walking. "
When Hua Cheng heard this, he immediately said, "Then do you want to rest for a bit?"
He wasn't joking at all. Xie Lian hurriedly said, "No need, no need." Behind him, Pei Ming said, "I didn't hear wrong, right? Your Highness, you feel dizzy walking?"
"… …" Xie Lian also felt that his words were a little embarrassing. He pretended not to hear Pei Ming's words and solemnly said, "Everyone, you must follow closely behind. It's easy to get into trouble at the corners of this cave … …"
As he said this, he turned around and was stunned. He grabbed Hua Cheng and said, "San Lang!"
Hua Cheng said, "What?" As he turned around, he also frowned.
There was actually no one behind them!
Just a moment ago, Pei Ming was still mocking him not far behind. But now, in the dark cave, only the two of them were left. Hua Cheng immediately put his arm around Xie Lian's shoulder and said in a low voice, "Brother, stay by my side. Don't wander around."
Xie Lian also held his breath and became alert. He asked, "Is there something hidden in the mountain?"
Hua Cheng said, "There isn't. But, there isn't anything scary. "
