Under the rootless tree, there is neither a ravine nor a hole. Look at the boulder protruding from the cliff under the tree, at least thousands of pounds in weight, and it is not something that can be moved by manpower; and where the boulder meets the cliff, you don't know how deep it enters, whether it is originally pressed by the whole mountain.

The entrance to the secret realm is nowhere to be found.

In the darkness, the two of them carefully probed the ancient tree and stone, but they never saw a clue.

Although they all brought flashlights, they did not dare to turn them on. Rushing down the mountain to investigate tonight is already a bit risky.

In the three nights of Yunsheng Valley, although the two of them focused on cultivation on the top of the cliff every night, they had no distractions. But in fact, Lin Chuyi has always been very clear, every night, there is a person hiding in the distance, using a very pure spiritual sense to secretly watch.

This was expected, with Lin Chuyi's divine sense realm, it was not difficult to find the other party, and after all, the realm was different, and the other party could not perceive his divine sense watching.

To Lin Chuyi's surprise, this person's spiritual cultivation should be especially above Shen Ye! Shen Ye had fought each other, and in the past two days, looking at his qi machine carefully, Shen Ye's cultivation realm was estimated to have not improved significantly compared to when they fought at the end of last year.

When there is a difference between the top and the bottom, the person on the top of the mountain looks down and sees everything vividly, while the person at the bottom of the mountain wants to see the face of the top of the mountain, and it is very difficult.

So this person is not Shen Ye, Yunsheng Valley, and such a dormant master?

Every night, he talked to Fan Nanjiang about the other party's state, the hiding place, and the cultivation realm that was gradually detected. But Ren Fan Nanjiang wanted to break his head, and he couldn't think of any such person. Later, after patting his head, he said very excitedly: "Could it be that my uncle is back!"

Lin Chuyi immediately shook his head and denied: "Not to mention that the uncle looks at the nephew, there is no need to be so sneaky, there is such a big thing in Yunsheng Valley, he is the only person who can still save the chaos, will he just let it go, regardless of it?"

In the end, after careful consideration, both felt that this person was very likely to be sent by the so-called "buyer". Lin Chuyi had previously questioned that the buyer, whose drunken intentions, was not in the old mansion at all, and it should not be in this pure yang ink iron.

So for the past three nights, both of them looked like they had nothing to do, concentrating on practicing. It wasn't until tonight that the other party finally stopped insisting on spending time in this barren mountain and wilderness, watching two homeless people spend boring time.

In fact, if the other party still doesn't give up tonight, Lin Chuyi and Fan Nanjiang have also discussed a way, that is, to surprise and suddenly attack, subdue him, and even knock him unconscious. Anyway, the plan to explore the secret realm tonight is not going to change. This must be done before the old house is sold.

Although the other party's qi did not reappear in Lin Chuyi's divine consciousness all the way down, no one knew if he was still spying from afar. Although the bottom of this deep valley is full of clouds and mist, and the sky is covered by dense forests, in the vast dark night, if there is a flashlight light, even if it is only a trace of it, it is still afraid that it will be easily detected by a wise monk with a keen sense.

In the darkness, Fan Nanjiang suddenly pointed to a deep imprint on the surface of the boulder that seemed to be eroded by flowing water, and said: "Look at this groove, although it is obviously a sign of water erosion, I always feel that there may be another mystery in it." It's just that in the darkness of the night, I don't feel very clearly. ”

Lin Chuyi's mind was clear, and he tried his best to observe carefully, and suddenly lifted the pure yang ink iron on the ground with one hand, placed it horizontally next to the groove on the stone, and said to Fan Nanjiang: "You see that the upper part of this groove is quite different from the ink iron, and the opening is slightly narrower, and the ink iron is flat, so it can't be put down, but the length of the two is almost the same." The bottom of this groove is not only slightly wider, but the shape has changed, and I think it probably matches the shape of ink and iron. ”

The two of them looked closely at the groove, and saw that it was hollow into a barrel shape, the widest in the middle, the narrowest in the top, and the bottom was exactly the width of the root of the ink. Of course, the grip of pure yang ink iron, shaped like the hilt of a sword, is relatively thin, and cannot be compared with the width of the groove.

Lin Chuyi held the ink-iron giant sword weighing more than 100 catties in front of him steadily, and the tip of the sword was facing the middle of the water-eroded groove on the boulder, and slowly stabbed forward. The sword body slowly sank into the groove, and such a heavy six-foot long sword stabbed at an even speed, without the slightest trembling bias!

When the tip of the ink iron reaches the end of the groove, only the hilt of the sword remains outside the groove.

Lin Chuyi gently put down the ink iron and landed at the bottom of the groove. When he felt the strength of his hand empty, he was looking at the ink iron in the groove, which was right against the bottom of the groove.

The edges of the ink iron are not straight, they are all rugged curves, and the blade of the sword is not smooth, like a natural stone surface. Therefore, this boulder groove that can be seamlessly combined with pure yang ink iron usually looks like an ordinary water erosion pattern.

But after embedding the pure yang ink iron, the boulder remained unchanged.

"What now?" said Fan Nanjiang with his hands outstretched.

At this moment, in fact, you don't have to think about it to know that embedding ink and iron into the groove must be a key step to open the secret realm. But what will happen after that, no one knows.

Lin Chuyi was silent, stretched out his right palm, his thumb in the middle, and the knuckles of the index and ring fingers moved quickly. Fan Nanjiang knew that he was counting carefully with the innate easy number, so he waited quietly and did not bother.

"Pull hard to the left, pull it three times, and then pry it up again. "When the thumb stays in the middle of the ring finger, Lin Chu is together.

He didn't look very sure, and added: "This is a calculation and speculation, and I don't know if it's right or wrong." ”

Fan Nanjiang said: "Pull to the left, I can understand, but lift up." Dude, don't forget how the ink iron is put in the groove. As soon as you carried him, he came out. ”

Lin Chuyi suddenly looked embarrassed.

"But, since you can only be half counted," Fan Nanjiang said, "let's give it a try." ”

After that, he didn't wait for Lin Chu to make a move, walked to the right side of the groove, and pressed the palm of his right hand against the side of the hilt of the ink iron sword.

I only heard a "click", and the black iron blade cut deep into the stone directly to the left of the groove, up to the middle line. Both were amazed. In the end, it is the tip of the ink

The benefits are incomparable, or has Fan Nanjiang's skills skyrocketed?

But neither of these is obviously possible. The boulder was unusually hard granite.

Under the great increase in confidence, Fan Nanjiang once again gathered strength to explode.

There was still a "click", and the entire black iron sword body had been cut into the stone, completely embedded in the stone on the left side of the groove.

Fan Nanjiang's ruddy face was very cute at this time. He said to Lin Chu: "Do you want to come here, otherwise there will be no chance." ”

Lin Chuyi's expression was as usual: "You try again." ”

Fan Nanjiang didn't be polite anymore, sat on the horse with a heavy waist, pulled open his hips, and suddenly his waist and hips shook, and his strength reached his back, like a cannonball coming from the palm of the palm against the hilt of the sword.

I could only hear a few deep sounds of "quack", and the boulder slowly moved more than two feet to one side. However, the roots of the boulder and the cliff wall are still tightly embedded in the stone wall, except that the top meets to reveal a narrow crack that can barely be penetrated by a palm.

Thousands of catties of boulders, of course, it is impossible for Fan Nanjiang to move a single inch with the power of one palm. At this time, both of them were convinced that Lin Chuyi's calculation results must be the method of opening the secret realm.

Fan Nanjiang didn't hesitate any longer, tied up his horse under the hilt of the sword, held the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands, and struggled to lift it up with the momentum of an overlord, and shouted in a deep voice: "Get up-"

It's a pity that this one was drunk very tirelessly. As soon as he exerted his strength upward, the boulder automatically "zazaza" sounded, and slowly lifted up, like a drawbridge at the ancient city gate, which was more than one person high.

It's just that the drawbridge at the city gate needs to be lowered before it can be passed. However, this boulder needs to be lifted high to reveal a deep hole under the boulder.

The two of them looked closely at the entrance of the cave, this cave may be natural, but there are obviously traces of artificial chiseling. The walls and roofs of the caves are full of hard granite with traces of axes and chisels, and there are stone steps that go down the stairs, and it is more obvious that they are laid manually. At the end of Lin Chuyi's divine sense, there was a faint sound of gurgling water, which should have reached a small underground river, at least dozens of feet deep underground!

The two looked at each other, "I'll go first." —in unison.

Fan Nanjiang continued: "Forget it, you go first." Those who can work hard, but if there is anything abnormal, don't be reckless. ”

Lin Chuyi nodded solemnly, but did not immediately go down to the hole. I saw him leap slightly, and his figure flew up and landed on the boulder that rose high. With his right hand, he grabbed the hilt of the black iron sword and pulled it out, pulling the giant sword out of the stone. After a little scrutiny, the ink iron greatsword was not damaged at all.

He jumped down from the rock, his greatsword in hand, and then slowly walked down the stone steps at the entrance of the cave. Fan Nanjiang followed closely, with the front foot followed the back foot.

The tunnel down is long and far-reaching. Underground, there is no need to worry about light leaking out, so the flashlights in the hands of the two of them have been turned on at this time.

Straight down more than ten meters, it is still a granite rock wall with one-color markings, and a staircase paved with stones. The tunnel is oblique downward, with occasional bends, but it always remains in one direction.

"In this direction, if the straight line is more than one mile, it will be deep underground in Fanjia Village. "Lin Chuyi,"

I estimate that it is very likely that the end of the cave mansion may be under the old mansion of your Fan family. ”

As he was talking, he suddenly felt the rock under his feet loosen, and a stone staircase that he just stepped on with his front foot suddenly sank a step. I could only hear a loud "boom" behind me.

"Not good!" the two exclaimed in unison, turning their heads together, and two dazzling flashlight beams pointed at the hole.

- Where there is a hole, only the cold and hard granite wall.

The two looked at each other in amazement, with different expressions.

"In your calculations, there is only this entrance?" Fan Nanjiang asked.

Lin Chu looked ashamed, but he still told the truth: "In the entire hexagram, there is indeed no other life. ”

But in his eyes, there was no despair, and he just added lightly: "Maybe the predecessors who left the hexagram instructions only need the descendants to find the entrance." As long as you go all the way forward, or if you have other instructions, you will not know if you will indicate the exit after discovering the secret realm. ”

Fan Nanjiang smiled bitterly: "Don't comfort me. After all, in ancient times, I was already half of the age of the earth. But you're young, and that grand sect is still waiting for you to go out and worry about labor. ”

"Actually, it's not comforting, since this is the case, I think it does have another deep meaning. Lin Chuyi, "Regarding the secret realm here, since the hints left by the predecessors can only be cracked with innate numbers. The secret must be extraordinary. That senior, obviously, only allowed Taiji people to come and open it. But after opening the hole, you can't let the hole open, and any idle people can follow you when you pass by. ”

Fan Nanjiang looked at his face at this time, relaxed and natural, without the slightest sign of worry, and felt a lot more relieved. Now, there is only one step at a time.

The two continued to go one after the other, and walked down the stairs.

"At the beginning, you and I both shouted 'not good' at the same time, which was an instinctive reaction, and you couldn't fool me. But why is it so much calmer than me in an instant?" Idle and bored, Fan Nanjiang had nothing to say.

Lin Chuyi didn't feel the slightest embarrassment, just smiled and said, "Actually, it's not you and me, there were three voices at that time." But because the other voice was farther away, and the three of us were speaking almost at the same time, it's normal that you didn't hear it. ”

"Three?" If it weren't for Lin Chuyi's footsteps not slowing down at all, Fan Nanjiang would almost have been on the spot. "You mean, the mysterious master who stalked us before has followed. ”

Lin Chuyi was very sure: "It's not him, this person's cultivation is much higher than him, and from the rough estimation of the direction from that voice, he is probably only ten zhang away from the entrance of the cave." And I didn't even notice it in my mind. So after everyone shouted, I became more calm. ”

He turned his head to Fan Nanjiang and smiled: "Fortunately, this person is blocked outside the cave, otherwise even if you and I work together, we may not be opponents." ”

Fan Nanjiang suddenly realized, and in his heart, which was still a little uneasy, he suddenly felt a sense of pride, and said generously: "I see, if this person keeps up, and meets in a narrow way in the secret realm, it will really be."

It's a dead end. But since this person can no longer enter, although the future of the cave is uncertain, it may not be a place of death. ”

Lin Chuyi suddenly became conscious, and said with a very serious expression: "Brother Nanjiang, in fact, I don't want to say frustrating words, the previous speculation may be reasonable, but in a desperate situation, it is human nature to have illusions. But if you and I are both outsiders at this time, and don't fall into this situation, how will you deduce?"

Fan Nanjiang was silent for a long time, and the stone steps under his feet were left behind in the monotonous footsteps.

It's a long road, and Lin Chuyi is not in a hurry to ask for his answer.

The topic is so twisted and changeable, it is not that he has no master in his heart, but after breaking the delusion, he fell into a desperate situation for the first time, and Lin Chuyi had a lot of insights.

At this time, Lin Chuyi had never had a state of mind, but he felt that even if it was really among the Jedi, at the end of the road, there was still an infinite and vast world in his heart. So he thought that since there was such a road, no matter whether he lived or died, for Fan Nanjiang, it could be both walking and practicing.

At present, among the many people around him, in addition to the seniors of Shizun and Huang Susu, the only ones closest to the entrance of the avenue are Lai Shanchuan, Fan Nanjiang, and Lin Li.

Mo Yuanan and Li Wensheng, after all, the intersection is still shallow, I don't know if they are in the channel.

So the remaining two or three people are especially worth cherishing.

He and Lai Shanchuan were more than one step ahead of the other two.

The avenue is lonely, and if there are people who can go with you, you should pull each other.

At this time, Fan Nanjiang had already spoken, and his tone was calm: "I am in it, but I want to jump out and be an outsider." If it's just a region, even if there is a hundred and eight thousand miles, now that I think about it, it's actually not too difficult. But it is extremely difficult to be detached and detached. I can deduce several endings, but I still feel that they are all affected by the situation at this time. ”

But he immediately continued: "It's just that after some struggle, my mood is a lot calmer. If it is according to the old customs of the rivers and lakes, I should bow to you and thank you for this situation. ”

Lin Chu smiled and said, "Then you don't have to owe." ”

Fan Nanjiang said cheekily: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

A staircase or a dead end, it becomes a little interesting.
