Chapter 156: The Lamps Are Crying
"Yu Ning?!" Ling Cang's expression changed suddenly, "Aren't you already ......"
Bai Xiu sighed: "When those people broke into the island, I almost died in their hands, but fortunately, the young lady saved me." β
"Young lady, Fang ...... She's not dead either?" Ling Cang muttered in disbelief.
"The young lady was tripped up and couldn't come back in time, and later I learned that everyone thought she was dead, but unfortunately she only saved me at that time......"
Bai Xiu observed him and said, "For so many years, we have been investigating the affairs of the year, and we have been looking for you. β
Seeing that Ling Cang was still a little hesitant, he sighed again: "Brother Ling, just like you just said, anything can deceive people, but the secret techniques of the Ming family can't deceive people, and the four psychic styles can't deceive people." β
"I didn't doubt you......" Ling Cang stared at him and spoke slowly, "I just didn't expect it to be practiced." β
"This is all the credit of the young lady, and you know that she is an old man with great talent and can study everything thoroughly, actually-"
Bai Xiu smiled mysteriously, "She has already penetrated the core mystery of the four psychic styles, and the people who practice this are no longer limited to the Ming family, at that time, not only Sister Zhichu can cultivate, but also Brother Ling and Uncle Ling." β
Ling Cang raised his eyebrows: "This is the secret mastery of Mingyue Island, I don't dare to trespass...... By the way, Lu Ning, why did you come here?"
"Brother Ling, you really shouldn't wade into this troubled water. Bai Xiu continued his suspicions, "The young lady and I have already found out that the incident back then was related to a force named Yingzhou, and their purpose was to destroy the fragment of the Birth Tribulation.
They had done such a frantic thing for it back then, and now I'm afraid it's going to get even worse, so we have to be careful......"
Ling Cang frowned: "What is this Tribulation Ding Fragment?"
Bai Xiu was amused in his heart, if the other party didn't even know this, there would be no conversation with Ming Yuchu.
He pushed the boat down the river and said: "This is the same spirit and strange Yue who went to the Heaven of Robbery, I don't know what is in it, but it must have aroused the covetousness of some people, so there will be many incidents twenty years ago." β
He paused, "But the young lady won't let them get their way, just a few days ago, we infiltrated the Hongmeng Bai family and got one of them, if they want to rob Shengtian's idea, they have to pass her first." β
"You've already got a piece of the Raiding Life Tripod Fragment?" Ling Cang asked a question quietly.
"It's not 'you', it's us. β
Bai Xiu waved his hand, and immediately apologized, "Back then, the Robbery Ding was divided into six parts by Bai Shu and hidden in the Ming, Bai, and Fang families, and we searched the Bai family and only found one piece, so we came to Huicheng to try our luck, but I didn't expect to meet you."
At that time, it was not easy to recognize each other, so the young lady asked me to blend in with Gangneung's team first. β
"Sanjia, she is here too...... Ling Cang's expression flashed, and he recovered in an instant, "It's okay, the overall situation is important." β
He took over the conversation: "Yu Ning, you don't know yet, I sent you a secret message to get rid of them before, first, to facilitate our meeting alone, and secondly, to mark them." β
"Mark?" Bai Xiu's heart moved, "Isn't there any other magic circle here?"
"I can't hide it from you. β
Ling Cang continued, "Actually, there is also a mechanism in the treasure room we are going to, called the Bafang Town Spirit Lock, which can only be opened by eight people at the same time, of course, there is only one real entrance, and that is the Shengmen in the array. β
"What about the other entrances......"
Ling Cang looked at him and smiled deeply: "The other seven entrances all lead to different dangerous places, and whether they can get out or not depends on their own lives." β
Bai Xiu knew in his heart: "Different marks correspond to different entrances, no wonder there are a total of eight people to come in." β
Ling Cang said a plan at this time: "At that time, I will use the 'Seven Spirits Rebirth Talisman' to confuse the Death Gate, and you will be able to enter the Life Gate with me." β
Bai Xiu breathed a sigh of relief on his face: "Everything is arranged by Senior Brother." β
Ling Cang said again: "Before the mechanism was activated, they entered the magic circle that can engrave marks, but they will be able to come out soon, let's go and meet them first, so as not to make them suspicious." β
Bai Xiu naturally did not object, and after following him around a few stone chambers, he faintly heard a little human voice.
"Owner, why don't we go back the same way first, and wait for Miss Ming to come over, and then we will discuss it in the long run. β
He and Ling Cang glanced at each other, and then shouted, "Cheng Lu?"
"It's Xin Fang!"
Cheng Lu exclaimed, and it didn't take long for him to go around with Jiang Ling from the other end.
Seeing him and Ling Cang together, the two were obviously a little surprised, but Jiang Ling didn't ask much, just looked at him: "Are you okay?"
Bai Xiu was also aware of the doubts of the two, and explained half-truthfully: "I was worried about you, so I went back to the previous passage and wanted to go around the drain, but I didn't expect to meet Mr. Ling on the way." β
Ling Cang shook his head helplessly: "I don't know who is doing the trick, I and Qian Lao and they are also separated." β
Jiang Ling said suspiciously: "If they are okay, they will definitely continue to move forward, it is better for us to meet them in front." β
They walked for about five minutes, and Xu Hui's scolding voice came.
Jiang Ling said meaninglessly: "What a coincidence, we have walked for so long, but in the end we have come to the same end." β
"I'm going to pick them up. Ling Cang quietly glanced at Bai Xiu, and then said, "The matter has come to this, let's find that thing together first." β
Seeing Ling Cang's back leaving, Jiang Ling's eyes were a little colder, and it wasn't until the other party couldn't hear the sound that he asked Bai Xiufa, "What's going on?"
Bai Xiu had already thought of the wording: "Be careful of Ling Cang, he wants to kill everyone and swallow the treasure alone, if I hadn't secretly stopped him before, I'm afraid he would have succeeded."
Qian Lao and several people died, and the next one is us, this person will not stop until he achieves his goal, we must be careful to take precautions. β
Cheng Lu was furious when he heard this: "This guy is really uneasy and kind!"
"So, when he returned to the team, he just wanted to sneak up on us on the road?" said Jiang Ling.
Bai Xiu's expression was solemn: "I have to guard against it." β
Cheng Lu's eyes rolled: "I don't dare to make a move openly when I see him, and when the time comes, I will keep an eye on him, so that he has no chance to make a move, and he has no chance to touch what we are looking for." β
While talking, someone came over again, it was Qian Lao and the others, and they didn't know what Ling Cang said, they didn't seem to be suspicious.
"Senior brother, if you don't die in a catastrophe, you will have a blessing in the future, and besides, it's all here, how can you retreat?" When they got closer, Bai Xiu heard one of Qian Lao's disciples say, this person seemed to be persuading Xu Hui.
Xu Huitie blushed and ignored it, obviously the flood just now frightened him.
The disciple had no choice but to look at Qian Lao wistfully.
"Hui'er, don't mess around. Qian Lao stroked a few words of persuasion, "Brother Ling also said just now, as long as we take the secret road, we will be able to reach our destination in less than an hour, and we will go home directly after the matter is over." β
"Secret passage?" Jiang Ling looked at Ling Cang inquiringly.
The latter explained: "Before, we accidentally triggered the mechanism to cause a flood, I was lucky not to be washed down by the water, on the way to find Qian Lao and them, I found an entrance, but I didn't expect it to be connected to a secret passage.
After carefully comparing the map given to me by the young lady, I speculated that it could directly pass through this Heavenly Machine Star Array to reach the treasure room, and Xu Hui's previous actions were crooked to help us. β
Everyone looked at Xu Hui in unison.
He was embarrassed: "Brother Ling, can the secret passage you said really enter the treasure room directly?"
"You can't go wrong. Ling Cang nodded confidently, and then said, "Everyone is a little tired right now, if we still move at the same speed as before, even if we get there, we won't have the energy to deal with other situations at all." β
As soon as he said this, Qian Lao completely lost his worries: "Brother Ling is right, let's rest for a while, and then enter through the secret passage in a while." β
Ling Cang looked at Jiang Ling again, obviously wanting to ask for their opinions.
Jiang Ling swept his gaze towards Bai Xiu, and when he saw him nodding slightly, he said, "Then let's do it, let's cultivate our spirits first, in case of emergency." β
Ling Cang smiled with satisfaction, didn't say anything more, turned around and went to appease the four of them.
When he walked away, Cheng Lu couldn't help but mutter: "What is this kid's idea, should we join forces with the old guy?"
Jiang Ling looked at Bai Xiu: "I want to hear your analysis." β
Bai Xiu pondered: "This person is deep in thought, I can't see what he wants for a while, as for why he suddenly revealed the existence of the secret passage, I can understand a thing or two.
Either he's buried some kind of trap in the secret passage so that he can kill the killer, or he's ready or pressed for time and wants to lure us there sooner.
If it's the latter, we have to be careful, if we can deal with him with Qian Lao, it would be great. β
"Okay, just do as you say. Jiang Ling said proudly, "What can this guy do if he has all the tricks, it's not certain who will kill the deer!"
The eight of them each found a place to eat, rested for a while, and then set off again.
They weren't far from the stone chamber where the trigger was triggered, and they arrived quickly.
Xu Hui looked at the damp stone wall and still had palpitations: "Brother Ling, is the secret passage inside?"
Ling Cang nodded, walked in first, turned around to him and said to everyone: "Don't worry, I have already checked before, there is no danger." β
Everyone followed him in, and someone found the clue: "Look, there's really an opening here!"
The others followed the sound, and a two-meter-square hole appeared very abruptly in the mural on the wall.
It was only about a meter above the ground, and they could get in with a casual flip.
"I'll go inside first. β
As Ling Cang spoke, the person had already disappeared into the entrance of the cave, and it didn't take long for his voice to faintly come over: "No problem, it's safe here!"
The rest of the people, you look at me, I look at you, and no one acts.
In particular, the suspicion in the eyes of Qian Lao and the others surprised Bai Xiu, it seemed that after the previous episode, even if they did not suspect Ling Cang, they were wary of him.
"Let's go. Jiang Ling was a little bold, leading Bai Xiu and Cheng Lu to walk in front.
As soon as they entered the cave, a cool air came to their faces, and the three of them were in good spirits, and they immediately accelerated their pace.
Seeing them coming, Ling Cang shook the flashlight, and finally stopped the light on the wall beside him.
"This is ......" Bai Xiu looked at the infinitely extending ever-bright lantern procession, as if he thought of something.
"It seems that this is the real cemetery, and the passages outside are just a faΓ§ade. Qian Lao also walked over and looked at its delicate four walls with interest, "We have finally arrived at the ground." β
"The night is long and there are many dreams, let's go quickly. Ling Cang reminded.
"Everyone. Bai Xiu came back to his senses, stared at those ever-bright lamps and said in a deep voice, "Take a closer look, are the lights here different from the previous ones?"
The others subconsciously followed his gaze, at first for some reason, until someone screamed.
"Oh my God, that light is there, it's bleeding?!"
