Chapter 942: Underground Palace
Despite Xiao Mian's instigation and reasoning, the crowd searched the entire cave, almost digging three feet into the ground, but did not find anything strange.
Could it be that I really guessed wrong?
The reason why Long Yinyu rushed back to Boguzhai was really just a hot-headedness?
If so, I was really killed by him!
The last time Xiao Mian did not hesitate to expose the location of the Gate of Life and Death in front of Ji Feifeng and others, that is, he never thought of returning the same way.
He always thought that Long Yinyu must be a cunning rabbit with three burrows.
Now it seems that either Long Yinyu is more cunning than he imagined, or Long Yinyu is far less cunning than he imagined...
No matter what, everyone has to decide to stay or go.
If there is really no other escape route in Long Yinyu's cave, then they have to return the same way as soon as possible-if it takes too long, something unexpected will happen!
If Ji Feifeng and others ask the Yuanying ancestors in Chaoge City in a hurry, then everyone will be unable to escape...
After deciding to advance or retreat, everyone left the cave one by one.
But before he was about to leave, Xiao Mian's eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of the pair of stone lions on the left and right.
Xiao Mian's expression was shocked when he thought of it.
Ignoring the suspicious looks of the crowd, Xiao Mian came to the pair of stone lions and took out the sword of life and death, but this time, Xiao Mian chose - death on the left and life on the right!
The sword of life and death was inserted into the stone lions, and the stone lions had no reaction.
Everyone who understood Xiao Mian's intentions could not help but feel a little disappointed. After all, if they could really find another way to find Long Yinyu's escape route, no one would want to go back the same way.
On the contrary, Xiao Mian's mind moved.
Sure enough!
The mystery was in these stone lions!
It turned out that when Xiao Mian inserted the sword of life and death into the stone lions, he used the spiritual eyes.
At that moment, Xiao Mian made the whole stone lion seem transparent, and after the sword of life and death was inserted into it, a trace of life and death sword energy was separated.
Obviously, Xiao Mian had found the right way. The reason why there was no movement was that the sword energy of life and death released by the sword of life and death could not trigger the mechanism at all.
The triggering of this set of mechanisms was more complicated than the one for entering Long Yinyu's cave. Not only did you have to insert the sword of life and death, but you also had to activate it.
In the whole world, if it weren't for Long Yinyu, I'm afraid there would be no other person who could do it.
However, Xiao Mian was not one of them.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Xiao Mian stretched out his hands, and suddenly, two streams of true energy, one black and one white, were poured into the two swords of life and death.
The two swords of life and death rang together, and the two stone lions finally changed. They seemed to come alive and roared to the sky...
The sound wave impact was so close that Xiao Mian was not feeling well.
Fortunately, it was only a moment before and after, and a series of low and powerful roars came from the open space three feet away from the door of Long Yinyu's cave.
Suddenly, the ground cracked, revealing a dark and deep tunnel...
"Why don't you hurry up!?"
Xiao Mian shouted, waking everyone up. At that moment, everyone no longer cared about where the tunnel led to, and entered in a line. Only the man in black, who had been cooperating with everyone before, stood stupidly at the entrance of the tunnel and did not enter.
In a hurry, Xiao Mian put away the sword of life and death, took advantage of the gap when the tunnel entrance was gradually closing, and rushed into the tunnel with the man in black in his arms.
With a bang, the tunnel entrance closed as before.
Then, a slightly dim ground lamp lit up in the tunnel, and then, one after another, like a dragon, spread towards the distance.
Letting go of the man in black who was brought into the tunnel by him, Xiao Mian was thoughtful.
The man in black was trembling when he was led into the tunnel last time...
But now there are so many things to do, Xiao Mian can't care so much, just suppress this matter in his heart.
Everyone looked at each other and decided to continue moving forward along the direction of the ground lamp.
After walking for a quarter of an hour, the ground lamp passage that looked like a long dragon finally came to an end.
A huge hole appeared in front of everyone.
Although it is unknown how deep this place is from the surface, it is underground after all. Unexpectedly, the hole is filled with warm halo.
After walking out of the tunnel, everyone stared at the scene in front of them in a daze.
From a distance, the palaces are like a forest.
In the huge hole, there is only one palace, nothing else, but that palace covers a very large area, and it is almost impossible to see the edge at a glance.
When they got closer, everyone was truly impressed by the grandeur of the palace. The palace gate alone was a hundred feet high, and the plaque on the palace gate had disappeared.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Mian stretched out his hand and pressed against the heavy palace door.
"Creaky..."
Unexpectedly, the seemingly extremely heavy palace door was pushed open by Xiao Mian casually - others might think that Xiao Mian had exerted all his strength, but Xiao Mian himself knew very well: he was said to have exerted all his strength, but he did not exert any strength at all!
The seemingly heavy palace door was as light as a feather!
Although he was also surprised in his heart, Xiao Mian did not show any expression on his face. Instead, he deliberately pushed both palace doors open.
In this way, other people naturally did not have to push the door again...
At that moment, the group slowly walked into this mysterious and strange palace.
But after a while, everyone came to a hall.
Above the main entrance of this hall, there was a plaque with three big characters on it - Chenlong Hall!
Chenlong Hall?
Everyone looked at each other and knew nothing.
But this is not surprising!
Think about how many years it has been since Chaoge City was built?
Then think about how many years it has been since the war city buried in Chaoge City was ruined?
If nothing unexpected happens, this palace is probably part of the war city!
Conservatively speaking, this is at least a relic from thousands of years ago. If something goes wrong, it is possible that it is tens of thousands of years old...
With a little emotion, Xiao Mian reached out to push the palace door.
Unexpectedly, this time, no matter how hard Xiao Mian tried, the two small and thin palace doors did not move at all.
In a state of laughter and tears, Xiao Mian took out the two swords of life and death and fiddled with them, but still could not get in. Seeing this, Xiao Mian had to step aside.
At Xiao Mian's eye signal, Fu Xigui stepped forward.
Because of Xiao Mian's previous experience, Fu Xigui did not try again. As soon as he made a move, the Qinghong Sword and the Baihu Sword came out together and attacked the two palace doors.
Two sword lights, one blue and one white, were like spirit birds, but after touching the palace door, they were suddenly knocked away, and the Qinghong Sword and the Baihu Sword even made a sword sound.
Fu Xigui trembled all over and gave Xiao Mian a cold look.
In this way, others naturally dared not to easily provoke the Chenlong Palace!
At this point, even a lone and arrogant Yin Jiansheng had to admit that Xiao Mian and Fu Xigui were the strongest in the group.
Even these two people couldn't enter the Chenlong Palace, what else could others do?
Fortunately, the entire palace was extremely vast. In addition to the Chenlong Palace, there were many side halls, wing rooms, and ear rooms around it.
"Everyone! This time, after several life and death experiences, we entered this relic by chance. Although even I don't know if there are any treasures here, since we are here, let's have a good experience! This palace is too big, we all rely on our skills and opportunities, okay?" Xiao Mian's words were unanimously approved by everyone. Nodding, Xiao Mian continued: "Then, we will meet here in three hours!"
"Wait a minute!" It was Fu Xigui. With a flick of his right hand, six snow-white wings appeared at his fingertips, indicating that each of the six people took a wing. Fu Xigui explained: "This is the tail feather of the sixth-level spiritual bird 'Lingxi Bird', which can be used to send messages and warn!"
"Brother Fu is thoughtful! With this Lingxi tail feather, we can contact each other without running back and forth." Nodding, Xiao Mian took the Lingxi tail feather into his arms and warned everyone: "No matter what! Our goal is the treasure and the secret passage. The treasure is self-satisfied, but once the secret passage is discovered, it must be made public."
"What Brother Xiao said is exactly what Fu thought!"
Nodding, Fu Xigui walked away with his head held high.
Immediately afterwards, Yin Jiansheng and Kong Yuanren also went to look for their own opportunities.
Only Jing Chu did not leave because of his serious injuries. As for the man in black, he stayed with Xiao Mian all the time and never left.
Xiao Mian originally intended to let Jing Chu take a Wulouzi so that he could immediately join the treasure hunt, but Jing Chu, who knew the value of Wulouzi, refused.
"A Wulouzi is enough to create a Yuanying ancestor for my Nanyue Province!"
Jing Chu has always been concise, but his tone and expression are extremely firm.
Xiao Mian was stunned when he heard this, and he was quite touched.
He took out some excellent healing pills and some top-grade gold spiritual materials, and Xiao Mian gave them to Jing Chu.
Leaving Jing Chu alone to heal his wounds, Xiao Mian turned around and looked at the man in black.
"Brother Xin! How are you?"
"..."
The man in black trembled all over, but did not say a word.
It turned out that this mysterious man in black, if nothing unexpected happened, was one of the five great ghost Dao Jindan who invaded Wolf Howl Valley that year - Ghost Dao Sword Cultivator Xin Yijian!
I don't know how he got to the Yin Shang Realm and how he became Long Yinyu's sword slave, but I think there must be many ups and downs in it.
"Brother Xin! Can't you even transmit the sound with your mind?"
This has always been a question in Xiao Mian's mind. As long as the cultivator is not born deaf and dumb, he can transmit the sound with his mind after cultivating the mind.
But this man in black has to use the Shadow-Reflecting Bi to speak, which is really unreasonable - unless the accident encountered by the man in black is more miserable than Xiao Mian imagined!
Shaking his head, the man in black took out the Shadow-Reflecting Bi.
"Follow me!"
"..., OK!"
With a flash of fire, Xiao Mian called out Qing Jing to protect Jing Chu who was healing.
Following the man in black, Xiao Mian gradually disappeared in the palaces...
Walking around in the palaces, Xiao Mian just followed the man in black, but at the same time, Xiao Mian's doubts became deeper and deeper: seeing the man in black's familiarity, he was clearly very familiar with this palace, what was the relationship between him and Long Yinyu?
Finally, Xiao Mian was brought to a cellar by the man in black.
"Sword of Life and Death!"
These three words appeared on the mirror.
Xiao Mian's heart moved slightly, but he still took out the Sword of Life and Death and handed it to the man in black.
The man in black put the Sword of Life and Death together and inserted it into a hole in front of the cellar. Then, there was a sound of prying.
Obviously, just like the Gate of Life and Death and the underground secret passage, to enter this cellar, you must have the Sword of Life and Death as the key.
In other words, this must be a place that Long Yinyu values!
