Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Cave Under the Mountain

"Not at the end of the cave, where is that?" Wang Qingwen asked a little puzzled.

"Senior brother, don't you realize that the journey this time is a bit long? If it weren't for the nephew leading the way, I would have thought that we would have fallen for the illusion. Lou Bencheng answered,

"Senior brother, this passage is indeed much longer than when I walked before, alas, look at my careless appearance. Wang Qingwen said with some annoyance,

"Senior brother, you are not careless, but you just want to know where the opening is, and you just didn't pay attention. Lou Bencheng relieved Wang Qingwen and said,

"Could it be that the opening is at the entrance to the cave that enters this road?" Wang Qingwen seemed to say to himself, and as if to ask the monk who led the way,

"Dean Wang, what you said is also right, there is a mechanism at the entrance of the cave that entered this corridor just now, after breaking it, the previous blocking stone at the end of this corridor will disappear, and after walking forward for a while, this corridor will extend downward, and at the end of it is a closed cave, there is a black/colored/stone platform inside, according to Elder Mao, there is the real entrance to the ruins. The monk who led the way explained to the two abbots as he walked.

Soon the five people came to the underground cave, at this time it was illuminated by countless torches, the people with torches stood scattered around the cave, in the center of the cave there was a stone platform with a ghostly light, next to two middle-aged people were standing there, as if waiting, when they saw Lou Bencheng come down, one of them said to the other: "Look, they are coming, those two little men in cloaks should be the children they chose." ”

"See Elder Mao and Chief Guo Shan. After Lou Bencheng walked down from above, he saw two people standing in front of the stone platform opposite, so he hurriedly walked a few steps forward and said,

"See Elder Mao and Elder Guo Shan. Wang Qingwen also followed Lou Bencheng forward to give a salute.

"Well, what's the name of these two little kids?" asked after Guo Shanchang nodded in agreement, and then he cast a soundproof spell and covered the six people inside.

"The one here is called Feng Chengru, and the one over there is called Li Xing'an. After Lou Bencheng waited for the soundproofing spell to take effect, he pulled the two children in front of him one by one, and introduced them to Guo Shanchang and Elder Mao's divine consciousness transmission respectively.

"See Elder Mao and Elder Guo Shan. After Feng Li and the others were dragged over by Lou Bencheng, they immediately knelt down to salute.

"Yes, yes, we are not afraid to see us, and the courtesy is thoughtful, you have chosen these two little guys well. Elder Mao Daizong was very happy and said with his divine sense,

"You two get up first," Guo Zhiguang said to Feng and Li, and then said, "Senior Brother Lou and Senior Brother Wang, what is the situation with these two children? ”

"Elder Mao, Chief Guo Shan, their situation is like this..."Lou Bencheng introduced it in a way that fascinated the sound,

"It's all the Five Elements Spiritual Root, alas, it's a pity. Mao Daizong sighed in his heart after hearing this, and then he said, "Two little guys, have Dean Lou and Dean Wang already explained to you the task of entering this time?"

"Elder Mao, yes, it's all clear. Feng Li and the two replied together,

"Okay, Guo Shanchang and I still have two jade slips here, you guys take them separately, don't walk around after entering the ruins, wait a while to see how the jade slips react, if the two jade slips are broken, you start to walk around, if only one is broken, or none of them are broken, then you need to come out of the ruins immediately, you can hear clearly." After Elder Mao finished speaking, he handed a jade slip to Feng Chengru, and Guo Shanchang next to him also put a jade slip into Li Xing'an's hand.

"Elder Mao and Elder Guo Shan, we know. Feng Li and the two replied together,

"And you must put this thing away, it is a time counter, my mana can keep the hole open for a maximum of twenty days, you two must come out within this time period, the time counter starts from the time you enter the hole. Mao Daizong took out two plates and handed them to Feng Li and the others.

"Thank you, Elder Mao. The two children said in unison,

"Alright, you two come with me now, I'm going to open the hole, and I'll keep it open until you come out, but don't take more than I just said. When I open the hole a little later, you two close your eyes, or you'll be stabbed by the light. Mao Daizong commanded, and then he removed the soundproof cover, and then walked a few steps away from the stone platform.

"It's Elder Mao, we will definitely not exceed the time. The two children agreed, put away the chronographs, and walked hand in hand behind Elder Mao.

Mao Daizong also signaled the other three to retreat a few steps back, he pinched the mantra and raised his hand to the stone platform to make a spell, it was still a dark stone platform, at this time from above there began to be earth/yellow/color/light flashes, with the output of Elder Mao's mana, the light became brighter and brighter, just when the people who were illuminating were about to open their eyes, the light suddenly dimmed, and then there was a hole on the stone platform with a colorful halo flashing around, and a dark hole in the middle, this opening was not big, that is, it could only accommodate an adult to pass through. The swarthy appearance gives them the feeling that they are a little crazy.

"Alright, two little ones, now go in quickly, and remember to do what I just said. Elder Mao told again,

"yes, we know, let's go in. Feng Li and Li agreed, looked up at the opening in front of them, walked over without the slightest hesitation, stepped on the stone platform and came to the entrance of the cave, the two paused slightly, Feng Chengru took the lead and walked in, and then Li Xing'an also followed closely and entered it.

"Oops!" After a while, Guo Zhiguang and Mao Daizong screamed softly.

"Elder Mao, Chief Guo Shan, but what happened?" Lou Bencheng hurriedly asked,

"Elder Mao, the divine thoughts I left on the jade slip have been destroyed, and your divine thoughts have also been erased?" Guo Zhiguang did not answer Lou Bencheng's question, but first asked about Mao Daizong's situation.

"Yes, my mind has also been killed, and now I can only watch these two little ones. But maybe that's a good thing. Mao Daizong said thoughtfully,

"Elder Mao, what do you mean by that?" Guo Zhiguang asked,

"Maybe the place leading to this is not a small ruin, but the original hometown of the Hundred Arts Sect. Mao Daizong said meaningfully,

"Yes, yes, it turns out that the small ruins we explored, the Divine Nian Jade Slips sent in, all took a long time to be wiped out, and the time to be killed this time was a bit short. Guo Zhiguang said with some excitement,

"It's too early to say that, we'll find out when they come out. After Mao Daizong replied, he no longer spoke, but concentrated on injecting mana into the opening.

"Two junior brothers..."Guo Shanchang just wanted to explain to Lou Wang and the others, but was interrupted by the sudden flash of light on the stone platform.
