Chapter 90: Into the Abyss
Bai Xiu shook his head and said, "What kind of master am I, with my current state, I'm afraid it will only drag you down." ”
Ming Yuchu heard the polite refusal in his words, and said, "We can cooperate to find the Robbery Ding first, this is much better than you groping alone, and you can find your parents as soon as possible, right?"
Bai Xiu said sincerely: "Master Ming Shao Island rest assured, I will definitely do my best to help Mingyue Island in the matter of finding the fragments of the Robbery Life Ding, at least I must be worthy of the Imperial Spirit Soul Guide that Your Excellency taught me." ”
"It's good that you know. Ming Yu Chu looked happy, looked at the bluestone road that disappeared into the darkness, stood up and said to him, "Don't hesitate, let's continue to move forward, shall we?"
Bai Xiu naturally would not object, and walked side by side towards the downstream of the river with her.
After leaving the river beach, Ming Yuchu pointed to the rut marks that were almost stiffened into stone on one side, and said with emotion: "It seems that this place was very grand back then, and your ancestors of the Bai family are really amazing." ”
Bai Xiu also observed the road under his feet.
This bluestone road is significantly wider than the one that goes to the place where the soul is heard, and it seems that it is to facilitate the walking of the equipment that hauls the stones in the water.
After walking for a while, Ming Zhichu was puzzled and asked, "Could it be that this underground river will lead all the way to the white mound?"
Bai Xiu casually explained: "Actually, just look at the topography of the Hongmeng Valley, the location of Suling Lake is the lowest, and the surrounding underground rivers naturally converge under it.
The one we are walking on now and the one leading to the white mound are also nine times out of ten from there. ”
He actually had a question in his heart, so he said, "By the way, Ming Shao Island Master, you said before that in addition to the Wang Clan's forces, there is another mysterious force that is also looking for the Raiding Life Ding?"
"That's right. Ming was drawn to his question.
"This team is even more mysterious," she pondered, "it seems to be composed of only one or two people, and I have never met with them, but I have only noticed their presence during the visit.
I think maybe they're in the same situation as you, or they're just interested in the Raiders, so they don't pay much attention. ”
"So that's ......" Bai Xiu suddenly changed, and then said quietly, "I just don't know where the other fragments of the Tribulation Ding are except for this part of the white mound?"
"It's a pity that I only know the clues of this piece of Resurrection Fragment. Ming Yuchu shook his head regretfully, thought about it and said, "I wonder if the other pieces have already fallen into the hands of that Boss Wang." ”
Bai Xiu subconsciously said: "Fang Da is a close friend, Brother Ling, and his father, and he is also one of the participants back then, will he have any clues?"
Ming Zhichu said: "I said before that he didn't even know about the existence of the Shengding Robbery, and he wasn't a party at all, maybe he just went to help at the invitation of his brother back then."
After all, there are a lot of things involved, and I think my brother must also understand the truth of the sin of Huaibi, and after realizing this, they naturally don't want him to get involved.
It's a pity that in the end he still ......"
"Maybe Fang Da also wants to find out the truth about what happened back then. Bai Xiu thought of this possibility.
Ming Yuchu sneered.
She sneered: "If he really had this intention, why would he go earlier? He just received the news of the Jiang family, and he also wanted to rob Shengtian's idea." Perhaps, he still regrets that he didn't get involved. ”
Bai Xiu smiled noncommittally.
As he spoke, there was a faint roar ahead.
The two glanced at each other and couldn't help but speed up their pace.
Soon, the bluestone road under their feet turned in a direction and went north, and the underground river suddenly fell not far away, and instantly turned into a waterfall and rushed down.
"Oh my God, this is ......" Ming Yuchu looked at the scene in front of him in astonishment, and could barely speak—under this waterfall was a huge stone valley shrouded in mist!
It is the size of the town of Hongmengli, and it is unconventionally round.
The edge of the stone valley was full of the same caverns they were in, and numerous underground rivers gushed out from the various cave entrances, like silver dragons swimming in the stone valley.
She looked up again, and the top of the stone valley was formed somehow, and the middle part was translucent, and there was a faint light passing through it.
Under this faint and eerie light, everything in front of us seems even more mysterious and ethereal.
I don't know how long it took, Ming Yuchu finally came back to her senses, she turned her head to look at Bai Xiu, and found that he was also staring at the translucent dome with a strange expression.
Perhaps sensing her gaze, Bai Xiu pointed in that direction, and said a little suddenly and incredulously: "We really arrived at the bottom of Hongmengli Town, where is Suling Lake. ”
"Yes...... Ming Yuchu didn't know much about the situation in Hongmengli Town, and when he heard him say this, he tried to think about it.
"You can't be wrong. Bai Xiu said again, "Look at the light there, is it a little different from usual?"
Ming Xue took a closer look at the words.
The light in the dome was swaying slightly, presumably due to the refraction of the water waves.
"That's true. Ming Zhichu was surprised, "I really didn't expect this Hongmengli town to be built on a deep valley......"
However, she was not interested in any of this, and after looking at it for a while, she was a little interested, so she turned to observe the situation around her.
The bluestone road turned around and led along the edge of the valley to another cave, which seemed not to be their destination.
"Hey, is the road to Shiratsuka going up the underground river?" Seeing that Bai Xiu was still immersed in the scene in front of her, she couldn't help but point to the nearby cave and asked.
However, Bai Xiu still stared at the clouds in the stone valley without hearing her words.
Ming Yuchu was a little impatient, stretched out his hand and pushed him, frowned and said, "Have you seen enough? Don't delay here, we still have something to do." ”
Bai Xiu finally came back to his senses, but he never looked away.
Suddenly, he said, "There...... There seems to be something. ”
When Ming Yu first heard this, he instinctively followed his line of sight - there were indeed many dark shadows looming in the clouds.
They seemed to be nocturnal in the dim light, and she immediately became vigilant.
At this moment, Bai Xiu was surprised and said to himself: "It seems to be some buildings...... Is there an ancient city there, too?"
Ming Zhi's heart moved, and when he looked at it again, he was suddenly surprised, those black shadows were really the eaves of some houses.
It was probably because of this strange atmosphere that she had the illusion of seeing ghosts.
She breathed a sigh of relief, but when she saw the eagerness on Bai Xiu's face, she was very dissatisfied: "You don't want to go over and have a look, do you?"
This time she guessed correctly.
Bai Xiu naturally remembered the ancient city in the land of listening to souls, could it be that there was also a special ethnic group living here?
The idea of going down to find out came to him, and he nodded involuntarily as if he was bewitched by something.
Ming Yuchu's face became gloomy.
Bai Xiu reacted, smiled apologetically, and said with a little loss: "Let's go to Baizuka to find the fragments of the Robbery Life Ding first." ”
Ming Yuchu's expression eased, and when he saw that he couldn't hide the regret in his eyes, he said: "If you really want to go and see, there will be time when we finish our business." ”
Bai Xiu nodded, then turned his head to look at the depths of the clouds, and said softly, "Let's go." ”
The two of them walked slowly along the bluestone road towards another cave.
This section of the road was much more dangerous than the previous one, with cliffs on one side and cliffs on the other, and Rao had to deal with them carefully because they were brave enough to deal with them.
Fortunately, it was only a short journey, and after a quarter of an hour, they finally reached the opposite side without danger.
The two of them didn't have time to rest before they walked towards the cave in front of them, but they had to stop as soon as they took a step.
"How can there be a door here?" Ming Yuchu said speechlessly as he looked at the stone gate in front of him that had almost sealed the entire cave.
She looked again at the river, and sure enough, there was a gate there, and although the water could pass through, people could not pass.
Bai Xiu was also a little surprised, and when she stepped forward to check it, she was relieved, and turned back to her and said, "It's okay, this door is not locked, it's not difficult to open." ”
"There won't be any mechanism, right?" Ming Yuchu was a little uneasy, and walked over to take a closer look.
It's a pity that she is not an expert in the middle, and she has no clue after watching it for a long time.
Bai Xiu happened to find the opportunity to open the door, so he said: "It should be no problem, this stone door is very heavy, and the speed of opening will not be very fast, which is not conducive to setting up mechanisms." ”
Seeing that he was about to dial the motive, Ming Yuchu hurriedly stopped him.
Thinking of what happened at the fork in the road above, she couldn't help but have palpitations, and said coldly: "Why are you reckless? Stand back, I'll come." ”
Bai Xiu smiled dumbly, it seemed that the last experience had impressed her very deeply.
He didn't break it, and simply took a few steps back.
With a lift of his left hand, Ming Yuchu threw out the thin rope from before, hooking the frame by the door with great precision.
This time, Bai Xiu finally saw its appearance clearly, but at this glance, his heart sank suddenly.
He subconsciously grabbed Ming Yuchu's hand and said in disbelief: "Where did you get this exquisite thought?!How could it be here with you?!"
For a moment, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and in the end, they all came down to an extremely terrifying possibility—could it be that Fang Xin had already been poisoned by Ming Zhichu?!
Thinking of this, he was almost soaked with cold sweat all over his body, and even the hand that clenched Ming Yuchu involuntarily trembled.
He couldn't imagine that when he didn't know, where he didn't know, Fang Xin died quietly in her hands like the Bai family disciple that Ming Yuchu had killed in the outer town.
