This, ......!?

Jiang Yao was shocked, and hurriedly pulled Lu Xingyue back, the two of them looked nervously at the woman who poked her head out, and subconsciously put on a defensive posture, but they soon found that the woman not only did not make further movements, but still maintained the movement of the probe, staring at the two of them, how weird it looked.

"......" Lu Xingyue observed for a moment, and then carefully took out the fireworks bead from her waist again and threw it in the direction of the woman.

"Pop ......"

The crisp sound of the light beads echoing in the narrow passage, and the obscure front was immediately illuminated by fluorescent light, and the two immediately discovered that the so-called "vermilion lacquer gate" in front of them was not a real gate at all, but just a mural, and the woman poking her head out was not a real figure, but a portrait painted on the mural.

I saw that the woman on the mural was dressed in ancient costumes, with high forehead and fine eyes, black hair and high plate, and her expression seemed to be smiling, and she quietly leaned out half of her body from behind the door of the mural, as if she was peeking at the visitors outside the door, and it was also like inducing the visitors to come to the door to find out.

Jiang Yao stared at the portrait of the woman in front of him for a moment, and couldn't help but feel a little chill down his spine, he quickly looked away and looked around the secret passage, but unexpectedly found that there was no other passage around, and there was a dead end in front of him.

"Strange, no way?" Jiang Yao walked to the mural and observed, and sure enough, he found that the mural at the end of the secret passage was a stone wall, and the left and right sides were cold stone walls, without any exit.

"Impossible, it's obviously ...... in this direction" Lu Xingyue didn't give up, and then stepped forward and pushed the stone wall with murals, but found that the stone wall did not move at all, and his face was suddenly a little ugly.

"Could it be that you are going the wrong way?" Jiang Yao asked.

"No, we didn't find a fork in the road along the way, so there's no reason to go wrong. Lu Xingyue said, groping for something on the walls on both sides with some impatience, as if looking for a secret door, but Jiang Yao calmed down from the initial shock, he once again cast his eyes on the strange mural in front of him, and some familiar pictures suddenly crossed his mind.

"'The Woman Opens the Door'?"

Jiang Yao looked at the Zhumen woman in the mural in front of him, and suddenly muttered.

"Hmm, what did you just say?" Lu Xingyue turned her head and looked at Jiang Yao with some surprise.

"Hmm...... My master once told me that there is a decorative theme in ancient tombs, and the basic element of the mural painting of this theme is a double door, half closed, one half open, and a woman leaning out from behind the door, which expands the small tomb space infinitely through hints, which is a common theme in ancient tombs. Jiang Yao said. "And the mural in front of us now seems to fit the characteristics of this type of mural. ”

"The decorative murals of the ancient tomb ......, but this is the 'Imperial City' of the Jiuquan Walled City, where did the ancient tomb come from?" Lu Xingyue questioned.

"I don't know...... However, since this mural implies the expansion of space, does it also mean that there is no cave behind the mural?" Jiang Yao thought about it, stepped forward again, and carefully observed the strange mural in front of him by the light of the fireworks beads.

The oil paint used in the mural is quite vivid, the vermilion gate reflects the woman's bright yellow robe, and the detailed depiction of the characters' expressions makes the whole mural come to life, as if the woman will push open the vermilion door in the next second, welcoming the guests inside. Jiang Yao's gaze swept back and forth over the mural, and soon, an inconspicuous detail caught his attention.

I saw that the smooth oil paint surface of the mural reflected the light of the fireworks beads, but the only thing that stood out was the right eye of the woman on the mural, which was pitch black and did not reflect any shimmer.

This right eye is so strange, could it be that it is inside...... What's the difference?

Jiang Yao raised his hand, as if he wanted to touch the woman's right eye, but he stopped his hand in an instant, and now that he didn't understand the structure of this place, if he touched it rashly, it would be troublesome if he triggered some mechanism. And just as Jiang Yao hesitated, a slight sound suddenly came from the woman's right eye.

"Click......

Not good!

Jiang Yao was startled and hurriedly took a few steps back, but unexpectedly, instead of jumping out of the mural, it began to roar backwards, only to see that the vermilion gate on the mural really opened slowly like a stone door, showing a long corridor behind the door in front of the two.

"It's ...... How did you open the secret door?" Lu Xingyue was dumbfounded.

"This ...... I ...... too" Jiang Yao was speechless, to be honest, he really didn't do anything just now.

"But no matter what, it's good to find the way, let's go quickly!" Lu Xingyue's originally gloomy face suddenly became excited again, and she was about to enter in a hurry, but was dragged by Jiang Yao.

"Hey, don't rush in yet, what if there's a mechanism inside?"

Jiang Yao was taken aback by Lu Xingyue's reckless actions, he felt that since Lu Xingyue saw the 'Star Swirl Disk' he took out, something seemed to be wrong with his whole person, a kind of impatience filled his left and right, and even his always calm and clever mind seemed to be dissipated by that impatience, this situation was really abnormal.

"But, if you don't leave now, are you going to freeze here?" Lu Xingyue stopped her steps, but she still couldn't hide the anxiety on her face.

"Not really, but ...... It would be nice if there was something that could find the way......" Jiang Yao muttered, thinking that he could use the "electric light stone" in the past...... Or it should be said that a part of the spiritual power is separated by the "Thunder Stone" and transformed into a spell for exploration, but now that the "Thunder Stone" has been broken, what method can be used to separate the spiritual power?

Having said that, spiritual power is actually a kind of physical energy, and the demonic power in one's own body is also considered physical energy.

It's time like this, so why don't you give it a try......

Thinking of this, Jiang Yao suddenly had a plan in his heart. He recalled the state when he first used the "Thunder Stone" to transform the pathfinding charm, took a deep breath gently, and mobilized the ocean of energy in his body by feeling, and carefully drained it from it, just like a small opening in the wall of a huge reservoir, leading the flow of energy like a stream, and instilling it in his right hand.

Gradually, a faint purple light gradually emerged from Jiang Yao's palm, and as the purple light gathered more and more, a humanoid spell began to condense and form, and with the movement of Jiang Yao's hand, it floated out behind the stone gate in front of him.

It worked!

The perception of the situation behind the door continued to enter Jiang Yao's consciousness as the pathfinder spell moved forward, and even Lu Xingyue on the side showed a surprised expression when he saw this.

"It turned out to be a rare perceptual demon power, what kind of demon is it that gave you the 'soul'?" Lu Xingyue looked at the path-finding charm in the distance, her face full of incredulity. "And...... Didn't you say before that you wouldn't be able to 'demonic power manifestation'?"

"Hmm...... I'll just learn from you to try the 'Demon Power Representation' casually, but I can't imagine that it will succeed......" Jiang Yao dealt with it vaguely, and by the way, he ignored Lu Xingyue's previous question. Although Lingyutai didn't say it explicitly at the beginning, Jiang Yao felt that it was better not to reveal it casually about the fact that he was a person with a "colorless physique" who had received the "power of the fierce beast".

But then again...... "sense"? Is this also one of the abilities of the "power of the beast"? But I seem to be able to do something similar before I receive the infusion, what is this ......?

Jiang Yao thought about it, but still didn't have the slightest clue, fortunately, Lu Xingyue was only paying attention to the situation behind the door at this time, and she didn't continue to ask anything. Jiang Yao breathed a sigh of relief, and after judging that there was indeed no mechanism near the door, he leaned down lightly and stepped into the stone gate cautiously.

"This road is safe for the time being, let's go. Jiang Yao turned his head and gestured to Lu Xingyue, and the latter finally recovered his composure from a brief moment of surprise, took out another fireworks bead from his waist as illumination, and walked in with Jiang Yao.

The figures of the two gradually faded away, but what the two didn't know was that just as the light of the fireworks beads completely disappeared into the depths of the corridor, the mural gate began to slowly close automatically.

"Ga...... Bang ——!

The gate of the mural has finally been restored to its original state, and unlike before, the woman on the mural has already changed her face.

The peaceful smile was gone, replaced by a grinning, grim sneer.

-----------------------------

"Quack??"

The frog suddenly stopped, swaying the "pig's head" disguised as a horse's belly, looking left and right in a bit of a daze.

"It's so strange, how can it be ......?"

"What's the matter?" a lazy female voice came from behind, and I saw a charming young woman swaggering forward, and by the way, one by one, threw the two stunned guards on the side into the corner of this alley of the "Imperial City".

"Glutton-sama...... That one...... I feel the breath of the 'Conjuring Banner'...... It seems that ......" frog is hesitant, constantly staring at the face of the "young woman", and seems to be a little hesitant.

"Don't tell me you're lost. The "young woman" raised her eyebrows impatiently, and the frog could not help but shudder at the sight.

"No, it's not lost, it's just ...... the perception of the 'Spiritualist Flag'...... It seems to have been cut off all of a sudden...... "Frog Frog's gaze glanced east and west, and he didn't dare to look at the "young woman" opposite, but the other party was obviously not so easy to fool.

"It's broken?hehe, who promised me that I would definitely find someone?" The "young woman" still had that indifferent look on her face, but the pressure in her words made the frog break out in a cold sweat. "You're not kidding me, are you?"

"Gluttony, glutton, Frog Stud absolutely, absolutely did not lie to you! Croak! Frog Stam shook his head like a rattle, and almost fell to his knees. "Frog Strider really sensed that the 'Soul Flag' was in the small dilapidated building in front of him, but ...... But I don't know why, all of a sudden, it's ......"

"In other words, is perception blocked?" the glutton, disguised as a young woman, raised his head and looked at the strange annex building in front of him, as if thoughtful. "There's only one place here that can create a spatial barrier, so they shouldn't really run into that 'last place to go'......"

"'The last place to go'?" Frog Murmur didn't understand, and ...... croaked," Frog Murray asked curiously, blinking her eyes wide.

"The reason why this 'Nine Springs Walled City' is named 'Nine Springs' is because it was built on the site of the 'Nine Springs Spring' in a certain magic cave that has no return, and the location of the former site of this spring happens to be within the 'Imperial City'. Gluttony said, his face seemed a little gloomy.

"If they really enter the 'Nine Springs Spring', then even I can't save them. This kid...... Bring me something ...... clean."

Gluttony muttered, and suddenly as if he felt something, he withdrew his gaze from the front and glanced to the side.

"Hmph, but for now, we have to solve some trouble. ”

Gluttony turned around, his gaze swept over the rickety figures who had come out of the corner, and focused directly on the robed man who was looking down at him coldly on the dome not far away, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.

"Yo, long time no see, don't come unharmed...... Si You. ”
