The inside of the tunnel was completely dark, and walking in it was like having your eyes closed.

"I should have lit a torch just now. ”

The girl complained.

She walked behind Qin Lin, clutching the clothes behind Qin Lin's body, her heart fluttering.

Qin Lin ignored him.

For martial cultivators, sometimes the function of the eyes can be replaced by the primordial spirit, so even if there is no light at all, Qin Lin can still perceive the potholes on the rock wall of the tunnel.

"No, we've been walking for a while, and it's all straight down, as if there is no intricacy of yours. ”

Qin Lin felt strange.

With his perception of the air current, Qin Lin could be sure that this was a straight path entirely.

The girl snickered behind him.

"You're so gullible. ”

The maiden scoffed.

"You're lying to me? It's straight, isn't it?"

"yes, it must be straight, who has so much energy to dig a maze in such a long tunnel, you are not stupid. ”

It was rare to laugh at Qin Lin, and the girl really made no secret of her joy of successfully deceiving Qin Lin.

However, before she could be happy enough, Qin Lin's footsteps rushed forward.

The girl didn't grasp Qin Lin's clothes for a while, and as soon as she slipped her hand, she couldn't catch Qin Lin anymore.

"What are you doing, what about you?"

The girl panicked.

She couldn't see anything in the tunnel, and she didn't dare to take any further steps, so she could only stop where she was.

"You stay, I'll explore the way in the back mountain, and I'll pick you up when I come back." ”

Qin Lin smiled.

"You bastard, don't leave me here alone...... Qin Lin, Qin Lin ......"

The girl squatted down in fear.

She turned her head from side to side, trying to see something, but she really couldn't see anything.

She could only hear Qin Lin's footsteps getting farther and farther away, and the surroundings became more and more deadly silent.

"Qin Lin, you Wang An, you bastard, don't leave me, you come back......"

The girl is usually stubborn, but at this moment, she is really fragile and afraid.

Darkness, as if there was a kind of magic.

People tend to recognize themselves in complete darkness, just as in the dead of night they reflect.

"Don't leave me, don't leave me behind!"

The girl couldn't help but feel sad, she thought of her father and brother.

Thinking that they all passed away in a hurry, leaving helpless her in the world.

Thinking about it, the tears in her eyes couldn't help but fall, and the girl's sobbing echoed in the tunnel

Suddenly, a flash of fire lit up.

The girl was frightened.

A pair of teary eyes trembled as she looked at the firelight, and in a blur, she saw Qin Lin's face dimly.

"Qin Lin ......"

The girl turned from surprise to joy, and then from joy to anger.

"You Wang An, you bastard you!"

Scolding, the girl stood up from the ground with moist eyes and rushed towards Qin Lin.

She raised her fist and struck Qin Lin's chest, but then, her hands grabbed Qin Lin's neck, hugged it fiercely, and cried fiercely.

"Scared to cry?

Qin Lin laughed a little.

He didn't refuse the girl to hold him, and he knew that the darkness at the moment exposed the fragility of the girl's heart.

"I didn't cry!"

The girl was stubborn again, she let go of Qin Lin, quickly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and reproduced her side of not admitting defeat.

But...... It's handsome for no more than three seconds.

The girl's gaze inadvertently fell on Qin Lin's palm.

"Ah, your hands are on fire. ”

The girl was terrified.

The fire was burning in Qin Lin's palm, and the girl had never seen it before.

"Your hand is on fire, this is the secret of the fire bullet!"

Qin Lin glanced at the girl, turned around, and continued to move forward without paying attention to her.

But he didn't extinguish the fire in his hand, he didn't want the girl to fall into the darkness again, but the continuous release of flames like this would undoubtedly greatly consume his physical energy.

So after walking for a while, Qin Lin clenched his fists and extinguished the flames.

"Hey, don't turn off the fire. ”

The maiden fears the darkness.

When the firelight disappeared, she approached Qin Lin and clinged to Qin Lin closely.

"You're so embarrassed!"

Qin Lin was disdainful.

The girl was speechless, now in the dark, she could only snuggle up to Qin Lin, how could she talk back to Qin Lin again.

Qin Lin let out a sigh.

"Fortunately, I have another good thing that can illuminate you." ”

"What?"

"Look at it. ”

With that, Qin Lin raised his hand, and white light shone between his fingers.

Immediately, one by one, like fireflies flying, came out of Qin Lin's palm.

"Wow, that's beautiful!"

Kong Lingyu was attracted by this "firefly" and couldn't help but arouse the girl's heart.

Qin Lin said clearly: "Don't touch these points of light, you will die." ”

"Huh?"

The girl was surprised.

Qin Lin couldn't talk to her directly, these "fireflies" were aura, and they were things that mortals could not touch.

He only explained: "The more beautiful things are, the more poisonous they are, so if you don't want to die, don't touch them." ”

After that, Qin Lin controlled the light to float to the top of the tunnel, ensuring that Kong Lingyu could not touch them.

And in this way, a scene like a "starry sky" was formed, which aroused Kong Lingyu's girlish heart, and made her can't help but raise her head, reluctant to lower her head again.

"You walk with your head held high, and you are not afraid of stumbling over a stone and falling to your death. Qin Lin smiled lightly.

"I can't die with you. ”

The girl relied on Qin Lin wholeheartedly.

The two of them walked forward for more than three hours under the "starry sky".

The closer you get to the bottom of the mountain, the heavier the chill becomes.

Kong Lingyu was blown by the cold and sneezed several times in a row.

"I forgot, I should have put on more clothes just now, when I came down with my brother before, my brother was wearing a mink robe. ”

"You can go back and get the robes now, and I'll let these 'fireflies' follow you. "Qin Lin.

"No, it's all here. ”

The girl is stubborn.

Qin Lin shrugged.

As a martial arts cultivator, one's own martial energy can resist external damage, including qi damage.

Unless he had been in the extreme cold for a long time and his martial energy was exhausted, Qin Lin would basically not feel cold.

So Qin Lin looked at the girl and shivered with cold, so he couldn't bear it, so he took off his outer practice uniform and handed it to the girl.

"Put it on. ”

"No, I don't. ”

"You're dead here, I'm not going to carry you back. ”

"You're going to die here. ”

The girl pouted, but she still took Qin Lin's clothes.

Because it's really cold.

Although Qin Lin's practice clothes were not thick enough, the girl's heart was warm.

When you walk out of the tunnel, you will see a glacier in front of you.

It's magical.

Glaciers cover the foot of the back mountain, and when you look up at the peaks of the back mountain, you can see the greenery again

"There is a lot of snow on the mountain peaks, but the snow at the bottom of the mountain is still full of green trees, this scene is indeed rare. ”

Qin Lin couldn't help but marvel at the strangeness of the back mountain.

The girl clasped her arms around herself to keep warm.

Trembling, she still had to show her pride and magic.

"Awesome, this is the birthplace of my Kong clan!"

Qin Lin asked: "Didn't Liu just now, did all your pioneers of Lishan die in this place, and why did it become the birthplace of your Kong clan again?"

"What does Liu know, those are just confusing words, in fact, there are treasures in this back mountain, and the ancestors deliberately have ghosts here in order to prevent outsiders from getting involved in the treasures here. ”

The girl spoke.

Qin Lin heard it freshly and continued to ask, "Treasure? Your Lishan Mountain already occupies the largest wealth in the Western Continent, and you still want treasures?"

"Treasure doesn't have to be money. ”

The girl glanced at Qin Lin.

Suddenly, she was surprised, "Why should I do this with you, you are also an outsider." ”

"Huh!"

Qin Lin sneered, feeling that the girl's face was really fast enough.

Girl: "Listen, you can't spread the word about the treasure here, and don't try to find the treasure here, this is the property of my Kong clan." ”

"Huh...... It's funny, how did the treasure become your Kong's, have you found the treasure? Do you have your Kong's name written on it?"

Qin Lin continued to sneer.

The girl was speechless for a moment.

Because the fact is that the ancestors of the Kong family have tried to find the treasure, but the treasure is nowhere to be found, as if it does not exist.

So to this day, no one knows where the treasure is.

Qin Lin heard the girl's words "don't try to find the treasure", and guessed that the treasure had definitely not been found.

So he provoked: "Since the treasure has not been found by your Kong clan, that is, whoever finds the treasure first, the treasure will belong to whomever it is." ”

"You are not allowed to touch my Kong's property. ”

The girl was excited.

Qin Lin ignored her and looked around the glacier.

The sight here is truly a spectacle and incredible.

But compared to these, the most urgent thing at the moment was to open up a supply line for food, so Qin Lin only took a cursory look at the glacier environment, then turned his head and asked the girl.

"Where's the exit? We've got to get to the route. ”

"I won't tell you!"

The girl lost her temper, and she really regretted that she didn't keep the door on her lips and reveal the secret of the treasure.

Qin Lin crossed his hands on his hips with an impatient expression: "Shouldn't you be willful and divide the time?" It's been more than three hours since we left the territory, and the ghost knows if there has been a battle in the territory, and you are still grinding here." ”

"Who is grinding, I, am I not afraid that you will rob me of the treasure of the Kong Clan?"

The girl is really worried, after all, the secret of the treasure has been hidden for an unknown number of years, and she really does not want to be defeated in her own hands.

Qin Lin was really convinced.

It's not that he can't understand the girl's mind, but he really feels unreasonable.

Suddenly, the anger couldn't be suppressed, Qin Lin raised his voice and roared: "I don't know where the treasure is now, what the hell are you worried about?"

"Why are you talking so ugly? ”

Compared to Qin Lin's raising of his voice, Kong Lingyu's voice at this time had changed.

She was scared.

Qin Lin stretched out his hand and pulled her violently, dragging her forward.

"Hurry, where's the exit?"

"Don't be so fierce. ”

The girl trembled.

Qin Lin sighed: "Okay, okay, I'm not fierce, auntie, let's not waste time, okay?"

"The exit is over there, do you see a crack in the glacier? There's a very narrow, narrow passage in that crack. ”

The girl had an aggrieved tone.

She couldn't understand Qin Lin's state of mind.

For Qin Lin, taking care of Kong Lingyu is as hard as taking care of an ignorant young child.

At this moment, Qin Lin suppressed his temper, in fact, it was also the emotions accumulated in the past two days, he really felt that Kong Lingyu needed to grow up and be sensible, otherwise even if she regained the power of Lishan now, she would not be able to control it.

"If she can't manage this Lishan, how can she backing up my next attack on the Central Plains?"

His core idea is still to go to the Central Plains.

Everything he did was to prepare for the ultimate war.

Walking towards the crestic in the glacier that the girl was referring to, there was indeed a gap in it that was so narrow that it could only be passed by walking slowly sideways.

To be honest, if it weren't for Kong Lingyu's clarity that such a gap could lead to the direction of the front mountain, Qin Lin really didn't think it was a road.

"How far, how far do you have to walk in this crevice?"

"No, it's not very far, go a little further, and it will be spacious, and it will be easy to go. ”

The girl was now speaking honestly, as if she was afraid that she would offend Qin Lin.

The two of them walked forward in the gap for a while, and it was indeed spacious, and it was a large open area of the cave type.

Qin Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

There was always a sense of depression in the cracks, but now that it comes out, it is much happier.

At this moment, a sound like a howling wind echoed in the cave.

"What a sound!"

The girl slammed into Qin Lin's back.

The sound continued continuously, forming a stereo surround in the cave, coming from all directions.

Qin Lin glanced at the girl with disdain: "What are you afraid of, it's just a rumor." ”

The girl shook her head, "It's not the wind, there's no wind here, where is the wind?"

Hearing her like this, Qin Lin only noticed a little.

There was no wind, and the air in the cave was a little thin and muggy, in stark contrast to the narrow passage just now.

"In such a stuffy place, there is really no wind, so what is this sound?"

Qin Lin pondered.

Turning his head, he asked the girl, "Did you have this voice when you came here before?"

"I haven't been here. ”

The girl replied.

"Huh, how do you know there's a cave?"

"My brother is with me, he has been here, he has also gone out from here, he has been to Huashan City. ”

When the girl spoke, her expression was a little dark.

Qin Lin didn't know if her gloom was because her brother was no longer there, or because she was born in Lishan but had never been to Huashan City at the foot of Lishan.

"You really can, you haven't been here yourself, and you dare to swear that you can go out with me here. ”

Qin Lin shook his head.

The girl emphasized: "My brother has a way, then there must be a road." ”

"Hehe......"

Qin Lin smiled but did not speak.

The footsteps continued in the direction of the exit, ignoring the "sound of the wind" echoing in the ears.

But this "rumor" seemed to be deliberately trying to make Qin Lin notice it.

As the whistling sound became louder and louder, the originally dim cave saw a hazy light, as if sunlight was shining through the dense fog and filling the mid-air Zheng of the cave

The girl panicked.

She actually wanted to be angry with Qin Lin now, because Qin Lin had just murdered her and questioned her brother, but now she was so frightened by the wind and the sudden light that she didn't have a temper at all, so she could only hold on to the clothes behind Qin Lin and follow Qin Lin forward.

"Stop!"

At this moment, a low roar suddenly sounded in the dense fog in mid-air.

"Stop, dare to move forward, punish God!"

A low voice threatened.

Qin Lin stopped, the Yuan Shen was already triggering the perception, and his eyes were also patrolling around at this moment, instinctively trying to find out who was speaking.

The girl was so frightened that she hugged him tightly from behind Qin Lin at this time.

"Are there really ghosts? There are really ghosts!"

She closed her eyes and shouted.

Whether she is a stubborn pavilion master or not, she is just an ignorant girl after all.

Qin Lin froze.

He was mentally prepared to expect something strange to happen.

It's just that he didn't expect that there would be someone here.

After Qin Lin triggered the Yuan Shen Perception, he could faintly detect a trace of strange aura.

It's weird, because the breath is very muddy.

There are breaths that belong to the human race, there are breaths that belong to similar demonic beasts, and there are even some breaths that Qin Lin has never been aware of.

"What the hell is this?"

Qin Lin was puzzled in his heart.

Immediately raised his vigilance, stretched out the Xuan Yu Sword at his waist, and assumed a fighting posture.

"Who is pretending to be a ghost here, don't show up soon!"

Qin Lin said sharply.

The voice ignored Qin Lin, and still repeated: "If you dare to go forward, you will be punished!"

"Hehe, punish the gods, right? Okay, then let me see what kind of punishment you can do to me!. ”

Qin Lin raised his feet and continued to move forward, trying to find out what this strange aura was.

But Kong Lingyu behind him grabbed him violently.

Kong Lingyu didn't cultivate, her strength was far from enough to hold Qin Lin, but ...... At this moment, she was like a burst of potential, and she actually grabbed Qin Lin's hand desperately and stopped Qin Lin's steps.

"You don't want to go over, you don't want to die. ”

She was in a hurry.

About the weird rumors about the back mountain, the girl has naturally heard a lot.

It's just that as a direct relative of the pavilion master, she has always believed that it was a lie compiled by the ancestors of the Kong family in order to keep the treasure secret.

But at this moment she realized that it was not necessarily a lie.

Because she had heard about "punishment by God".

It is the torture of Infernal Purgatory, and as long as you are punished, you will definitely die.

"Qin Lin, I beg you, don't go over. ”

The girl was crying.

Qin Lin turned around and looked at the girl suddenly: "What are you afraid of, it's just a group of guys who pretend to be ghosts." ”

"No, there is really a punishment here, I have heard it before, I thought it was a lie made up by my ancestors, but now I look at it, it is true!"

The girl clung to Qin Lin and didn't let go.

Qin Lin was impatient, but he also knew that the girl was really worried about him.

Helpless, although Qin Lin was too lazy to explain, he also had to explain to the girl: "I already feel the breath, someone is pretending to be a ghost here." ”

"It's not pretending to be a god and playing ghosts, it's the Luo Mang clan, they have divine power, and they can punish the gods!"

The girl recalled, as she was a child, the biography of her father and her, and the biography of the ancient Luo Mang tribe.

At first, she really thought that this was just a lie compiled by the ancestors of the Kong family, but she didn't expect that today she really heard someone say the words "punish the gods", and she really met the Luo Mang clan.

"What is the Luo Mang Clan!"

Qin Lin couldn't help frowning when he listened to the girl's method.
