When Bai Xiu woke up again, he found himself lying in a basement.

This type of basement is common in Hongmeng Town and is usually used as a storage room, but this one is a little different now.

A space, there was nothing but the stone bed on which he was lying;

The second is too high, and the distance from the ground to the top is as high as the average basement three.

What's even stranger is that the basement has no stairs, not even an exit, and looks like it's closed—it has a row of fist-sized holes on top, which are eerily glowing.

It is with this brightness that he can barely see what is in front of him, and at the same time not let his eyes be stimulated by the light.

"What the hell is this place, and how am I here?" he sat up slowly, still feeling a little dizzy in front of him.

"How did I faint all of a sudden, and then what happened?"

When the dizziness passed, he thought about it carefully, and he had a clue.

"It seems that someone has also moved on the stone door, and I have unknowingly fallen into the other party's way. "I just don't know if it's already on the door, or if someone has done the arrangement before me......"

As the saying goes, "the praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind", if it is the latter, it is really a great irony for him.

But then again, if that's the case, then what is the origin of this person who can follow him and Ming Yu Chu without being discovered by them?

Could it be Fang Xin's so-called aunt?

If it were her, she would indeed have this ability.

After thinking about it, Bai Xiu quickly denied this inference again, because the other party made a move at the wrong time.

Fang Xin's aunt was obviously also robbing Sheng Ding's idea, since she had followed them to the door, why not continue to hibernate and wait for him to enter the white mound before making a move?

What's more-

Bai Xiu touched the greedy wolf Yuque in his pocket and thought of something.

If it was her who was the one who did the manipulation of the door, then it would not be possible for it to stay here properly, after all, she had long known that this jade que could open the door to the white mound, and if she had the opportunity, she would definitely take it for herself.

If it weren't for Fang Xin's aunt, who else would have this ability?

Bai Xiu's ability to capture the fluctuations of spiritual power is not weak, even if his injuries have not healed now, and he still has the influence of Hongyuan Island's spiritual veins, it is not easy to follow him without him noticing.

"Could it be that he is a non-human master like the Zhong brothers again......"

When he was thinking about it, he also caught a little bit of inspiration - could this person be the person who set up the formation on Hongyuan Island?

With the ability of the other party, it is not difficult to secretly guide their actions, let alone just follow them?

So who is he or she, or even them?

To be honest, although he had always been aware of the presence of the person who had set up the formation, he didn't think that the other party was really nearby.

It is also possible that this person has already planned to let them fall into the web that has been woven a long time ago.

But now, he has to overturn this possibility, after all, there are some places that are unreasonable.

It would be understandable if this person was just guiding them to the entrance to the White Mound, but what to say at the moment?

He couldn't have come here on his own, would he?

So there must be such a person who brought him here.

Even if this person is not the one who set up the formation, it may be another flag under his control.

Now what he had to figure out was what exactly their purpose was.

Bai Xiu thought of another possibility.

Could it be that the Hongyuan Island die-hard faction didn't all move away with the relocation faction back then, and still left a vein to operate in this area?

In other words, the person who set up this formation is indeed not one person, but a branch of the Bai family.

Assuming that this step is true, then their purpose is very clear - to protect the spiritual veins of Hongyuan Island and the seal of chaos hidden under them.

But in this case, why did the other party guide him and Ming Yuchu to Hongyuan Island, and even let them open the gate of Tianshui?

Isn't that revealing your own secrets to them?

Many clues swirled in his mind, making it impossible for him to peel back the cocoon step by step and restore the whole truth.

In fact, there was much more to his mind than that.

For example, when he returned to Hongyuan Island and talked to the old man, why did he suddenly lose consciousness?

What happened next, and how did he get back to where he is now?

Why are there so many bones at the bottom of the Feeding Spirit Lake, and the Xuan Xuan Jade Vein has been destroyed?

What caused the flood to erupt and destroy Hongyuan City, and even the entire Hongyuan Island?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.

Why he fainted before, and why he was here, is best explained.

Thinking that the stone door must be related to a secret of the Hongyuan clan, in order not to be discovered by him, the person who was secretly following him fainted and brought him here.

In this way, could the fall of Hongyuan Island also be because of this, they are afraid that he will find any clues?

But he had a faint feeling in his heart that what happened between his sudden loss of consciousness and his return to the original world at Bai Yu'er's house might be the key to solving these mysteries.

This must have been his own experience, but I don't know why, this memory seems to have been pinched away, and in the end, only such a small section is left.

Could it be that he was unconsciously affected by some illusion?

This is not his groundless speculation, there are indeed many such illusions in the world, which can affect or even tamper with people's memories.

Some illusions can also change a person's perception of other people, of the world.

For example, what makes two strangers fall in love at first sight, and makes loving couples turn against each other.

Thinking that he had secretly made a decision, when he returned to Lizhen, he must ask Fang Xin, if this was the case, then if this illusion was broken, he might be able to remember what happened at that time.

This made him feel helpless, originally thought that with the fall of Hongyuan Island, some things would also disappear, but he didn't expect that this was still a hurdle that he had to cross after all.

Of course, the most important thing for him at the moment is to get out of here first.

Thinking about it, he got out of bed and looked around.

Soon, he had the results, but it wasn't good news - there weren't any secret doors in the basement.

It's weird, he can't have gotten through a hole in it, right?

"Maybe I'm searching the wrong way, there must be some mechanism here that can open a door to the outside. ”

He was never one to give up so easily, so he immediately searched carefully again, but the results were still unsatisfactory.

"Is it up there?"

Bai Xiu looked up.

However, this room is ridiculously high, and the light is extremely dim, Rao is eyesight is amazing, and he has not found anything after observing for a long time.

"Looks like we'll have to climb up and give it a try. He said, rubbing against the smooth walls.

Bai Xiu was about to pull out the Demon Breaking Blade and cut a gap in it, but at this moment, his hand attached to the wall suddenly felt a tremble.

Then he heard two footsteps on the other side of the wall.

Bai Xiu was a little surprised, not because there was a room behind this, but because the sound insulation effect of this seemingly solid wall was so poor?

Soon, the muffled voice was only a wall away from him, and he quickly held his breath and listened in the darkness.

"Sure enough, it's you. The cold female voice said.

As soon as this person spoke, Bai Xiu recognized her, this was none other than Bai You, who had handed over the Ming Greedy Wolf Yuque to him before.

He became more and more puzzled, what kind of place was this, and why did Bai You come here?

He was in a state of confusion when he heard another woman laugh and say, "That's right, it's me...... Why, Miss Bai seems to be surprised?"

"Who is this?" Bai Xiu's heart moved, and she thought to herself, "How do you feel that her voice is a little familiar......

However, one thing is obvious, this person and Bai You are old acquaintances, and the relationship between the two is not good.

"What is the purpose of your coming to the Bai family? You killed the three Bai family disciples?"

Hearing this, Bai Xiu had a guess that this woman should be another person who broke into Li Town, that is, Fang Xin's aunt.

He'd heard her voice the first time he left the soul, so no wonder it felt familiar.

Facing Bai You's questioning, the other party laughed.

She pretended to be aggrieved and said: "Sister You, why be so angry, they didn't kill me, but the little girl of the Ming family, don't you already know?"

"Hmph, it looks like you've been secretly watching the opportunity these days. Bai You sneered.

"Miss Bai's temper hasn't changed at all after so many years. The woman ignored the mockery in her words, and laughed softly, "I said how Bai Shu didn't like you back then, which man can stand this hot energy......"

"Less nonsense. Bai You interrupted her in a cold voice, "Say, what is the purpose of your coming to me today?"

The woman suppressed her laughter, lowered her voice and said, "I'm going to the White Star Shift Clothes Tomb, you have to help me." ”

"The person who broke into the white mound is really you...... What are you doing there?" Bai Yu said coldly.

"Find something, something very important. The woman's voice grew deeper and deeper, and she said, "As for what it is, I can't tell you yet. ”

Bai You sneered and said unceremoniously, "Then why should I help you?"

The woman snorted and said with a big smile, "I can't say what I'm looking for, but in exchange, I can answer your other question, and you just need to tell me how to get there." ”

She added: "You know for sure. ”

"I don't have any questions to ask you, and the white mound is a confidential place of the Bai family, as a disciple of the Six Sects, I have nothing to say. ”

Bai You flatly rejected her request and seemed to be about to leave.

The woman smiled inexplicably and said slowly: "I know where he is...... Bai You, I know where Bai Shu is. ”
