Chapter 307: The Secret Passage
The houses in the village are all very simple, and they are basically single-room houses, which are only enough for a family to live in, which makes Qin Lin unable to find a family in the village to live in temporarily.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, Qi Li complained a little: "Master, does your friend really live here? We have been waiting all afternoon." β
"The breath is here, but it's strange why people aren't here. Qin Lin was also depressed.
Although Ruan Jie was not a martial artist and his aura was weak, Qin Lin was convinced that Ruan Jie was often haunting the village with his super perception of the Martial Sect Realm.
"That's it, if you can't wait for Ruan Jie before the black, let's go to Wudong tonight to spend one night, and tomorrow we will go elsewhere to feel the breath. β
Qin Lin wondered if it was because Ruan Jie's aura was too weak, so he couldn't feel his aura in other villages.
Qi Li's could only shrug his shoulders and nod in agreement.
Night falls.
Qin Lin didn't wait for Ruan Jie's figure after all.
Qi Li: "Master, let's go, don't stay at the entrance of other people's villages, you will be disliked by many people." β
In fact, quite a few villagers are already looking at them with wary eyes.
Qin Lin was helpless: "Okay, let's go to Wudong first." β
End, step.
The closer his footsteps approached Wudong, the stronger Ruan Jie's aura became.
However, halfway through, the breath suddenly broke again, and when I went forward, there was another breath, and then forward, the breath was gone.
"How can it be intermittent!" Qin Lin was puzzled.
Staring at the martial cave on the mountainside, I couldn't help but be a little suspicious.
Wudong is actually nothing special.
If it weren't for Qin Lin being able to feel the unusual aura in the martial cave, it would be difficult to tell from the ordinary appearance of the cave that this was a martial cave.
"Is this cave really nothing special, is it really the martial arts cave that the martial artists say?" Qi Li was skeptical.
Qin Lin said: "I heard Chunfen describe it, it's just such an ordinary appearance. β
Walking into the cave, a narrow passage stretches into the hinterland of the cave.
After Qin Lin came to the hinterland, he saw the broken martial stone tablet.
"That's the. Qin Lin stepped forward and approached the stone tablet to look at the contents on it.
The contents of the entire set of steles had already been engraved in his mind, so he didn't take the stele too seriously.
But it was the first time Qi Li's time to see it, and his heart was curious.
She had heard Chunfen mention the martial stone tablet before, and she also knew that Chunfen's cultivation was made by relying on the martial stone tablet.
"Master, the cultivation method on this stone tablet can really allow a martial artist to quickly improve his cultivation?" Qi Qi asked.
"Don't refin, it's easy to fall into demons if this refining is not good. Qin Lin remembered Wei Liang's situation, that old man was enchanted.
However, Qi Li was very obsessed with martial arts, and even if Qin Lin reminded her, she still couldn't help but want to memorize the contents on the stone tablet.
"Wait!" Qin Lin's gaze suddenly turned to the other end of the cave's hinterland.
"What's wrong?"
"There's a breath. Qin Lin said, his steps were a little faster.
Soon, in another gambling pile in the hinterland, a secret passage was discovered.
"There's still a way here. Qin Lin raised his hand and quickly lifted the chaotic stones, exposing the entrance to the secret passage.
"This secret passage is very weird, there must be something in it. Qi Liyan.
Qin Lin motioned to her: "You wait for me here, go in and see the situation." β
Over, without waiting for Qi Li's response, Qin Lin had already stepped into the secret path of Zheng
The entrance to the secret passage is narrow, but after walking a distance inside, it becomes wider.
There are stairs that go down the ladder in the secret passage, and it looks like it leads all the way to the bottom of the mountain.
"How can there be such a secret passage? Chunfen never mentioned it. Qin Lin walked forward in the secret passage, and the Yuan Shen drove the aura and sensed the breath in the secret passage.
"Ruan Jie!" Qin Lin was sure, he felt Ruan Jie's breath.
The smell was strong, stronger than in the village before.
"Isn't it, Ruan Jie never left Wudong at all, or did he finally return to Wudong and live in this secret passage?"
Qin Lin guessed that the secret passage was going downward, and it was very likely that it passed through the village underground.
So he felt Ruan Jie's breath in the village, but he couldn't see Ruan Jie's people, because Ruan Jie was in this secret passage underground.
This is the most likely scenario.
Qin Lin quickened his pace, following the direction where the breath came from.
Suddenly, there was a "shuddering" sound in my ears.
Qin Lin condensed, and countless flying arrows were like pouring rain, heading towards him.
"Mechanism! There is actually a mechanism in the secret passage!"
Qin Lin looked at the flying arrows.
The active defense of the shroud is then activated.
"It seems that this is not an ordinary secret passage, this should be handed down with the martial stone tablet in ancient times, but it is just ...... Why did you set up this secret passage, why did you design the mechanism?"
Normally, there should only be a mechanism in a place where the treasure is buried, or in an ancient tomb.
Qin Lin guessed in his heart, and there was a trace of excitement in his heart.
Soon, he walked in front of a stone door.
Where there is a stone gate, there is a secret room.
Qin Lin raised his hand, ready to smash the stone gate directly.
But at this moment, an unprecedented sense of restraint was like countless ropes strangling Qin Lin.
"This!"
Qin Lin was alert.
Immediately, a wave of heat hit the face.
Just look at the flames burning out of thin air on the stone door, the flames seemed to turn into a fire dragon, rushing towards Qin Lin and wrapping Qin Lin.
The defensive power of the Hood Jue became more and more fragile in front of the fire dragon.
Qin Lin sensed a few points and sensed that the energy released by the fire dragon had actually reached the level of the Martial Sect Realm.
"Damn, a mechanism is so powerful!" Qin Lin was surprised, and at the same time even more excited.
Because Ci's powerful mechanism is set up here, it is enough that there is a huge treasure hidden behind the Akashi Gate.
Qin Lin released his martial energy, drove the flame bullet technique, and condensed the fire light in the palm of his hand, and then, the flame bullet technique faced the fire dragon, and the two flames burned fiercely in the secret passage.
Boom -
A strong shock.
In the end, the flame bullet trick won the fire dragon and shook the stone wall open.
There was indeed a secret room in the stone wall, but the secret room was empty, and there was nothing else except a stone tablet in the middle.
"Nothing?" Qin Lin was surprised.
Walk into the secret room and come to the stone tablet.
Originally, I thought that this was a martial arts stele similar to the martial arts stele, but at first glance, it was just an epitaph, and it was already mottled, and the handwriting was not clear at all.
Qin Lin glanced at the secret room, targeting the wall behind the secret room.
The walls look ordinary, but they faintly exude an air.
"How did Ruan Jie find such a secret place?" Qin Lin was a little curious.
He was sure that there was a passage behind the walls of the secret room, and Ruan Jie's breath came from behind the walls.
"There must be a mechanism on this wall that can be opened. Qin Lin searched along the wall, driving the aura, covering the wall, not letting go of any details.
Soon, he discovered that one wall tile was different from the others.
The other wall tiles are already mottled, but this one has obvious traces of wiping, which should be touched often.
Qin Lin put his palm on the wall tiles, exerted a little force, and pressed the wall tiles a little bit apart, and heard the sound of "click" in his ears, and the original whole wall opened a gap from the middle.
The gap gradually widens, eventually reaching the width of a person passing sideways.
Qin Lin entered.
But before he could fully pass through, the gap between the bricks in the wall suddenly erupted with red gas.
"Not good!"
Qin Lin closed his life-gate acupoint as quickly as possible, and at the same time closed all the important acupoints on his body.
As the Dan Emperor, he can quickly determine the toxicity of red gas.
This is a poison that can erode the meridians of a martial artist.
The higher the repair, the higher the rate of erosion.
Qin Lin recalled the two traps that had just been triggered in the secret passage, the first flying arrow was considered primary, as long as the cultivation exceeded the Martial Master Realm, it could basically be dodged, while the fire dragon behind it needed the strength of the Martial Sect Realm to resist it.
That is, the person who can enter this secret room must at least have the Martial Sect realm.
And if a Martial Sect realm comes into contact with the red gas, almost only within three or five snaps of a finger, it will be eroded by the poisonous gas to the point that the meridians are completely broken.
"It's hard enough. Qin Lin frowned.
Now, he has closed his life, which can be regarded as turning himself into an "ordinary person", and the poisonous gas is no longer harmful to him.
Qin Lin passed through the gap in the wall, and there was a secret passage in front of him.
"It's endless. Qin Lin shook his head.
If it weren't for making sure that Ruan Jie's aura was ahead, he really didn't bother to continue walking into the secret passage.
There were three organs in a row, one set up more ruthlessly than the other, and Qin Lin had to consider what mechanisms were ambushed in the next secret passage.
"Well, take a gamble. Qin Lin settled down, drove the aura, and explored the way by the aura, while he walked behind the aura.
In this way, all the way forward, the aura detected four mechanism settings, and Qin Lin dodged one after another, until he was in front of another stone gate.
The aura probed the stone gate.
It's just an ordinary stone door, with no mechanism.
In this way, Qin Lin breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he stepped forward, ready to raise his hand and smash the stone door.
However, before Qin Lin could make a move, the stone gate suddenly opened by itself!
A golden-red light emanated from the secret room behind the stone door, as if there was a sun, illuminating the secret room.
Qin Lin subconsciously avoided the sudden light, narrowed his eyes into slits, and slowly walked into the secret room, looking at the scene in the secret room.
The light was too dazzling, and Qin Lin thought it was an illusion.
But the truth was exactly as he saw itβinside the chamber was an empty cavern.
In the center of the cave, a huge gem glows brightly.
It took Qin Lin a while to get used to it before he could fully see the scene in the cave.
Actually, it's not so much a cave as it is a huge burial chamber. Because there is nothing in the cave except a sarcophagus.
"With such a big hole as a burial chamber, this guy is really pompous. Qin Lin said lightly.
Immediately, his eyes scanned the cave again.
"No, if there is only such a tomb left, then where will Ruan Jie go?" Qin Lin was surprised.
Ruan Jie's breath permeated the cave, obviously living here, but looking around, Ruan Jie's figure did not even have basic traces of life
"Is there a way?" Qin Lin looked at the other end of the cave.
Immediately, he leaped to his feet, and in order to avoid touching the mechanism again, he chose to fly directly by, without his feet touching the ground.
The cave is huge.
After flying long enough, you reach the end.
There was nothing at the end, and the irregular rock wall did not show any traces of artificial excavation, pure and natural.
"There's really no way, so where did Ruan Jie go?"
Qin Lin became more and more confused.
It's like when you hear someone whispering in your ear, but no matter how much you look for it, you can't find it.
As a last resort, Qin Lin shouted: "Ruan Jie, do you live here?"
The voice echoed in the cave, and no one responded to Qin Lin.
"Damn!" Qin Lin couldn't get angry, he didn't believe that there was anyone in this world that he couldn't find.
Drive the aura, turning every bit of aura into a separate place, as if it were his doppelganger, and began to scatter in the cave, not letting go of any angle.
After half an hour of searching, Qin Lin determined that this cave was completely closed, and only the secret passage where he came was the exit.
"I've searched for them all, but I haven't found them, how is this possible?"
Qin Lin frowned, lost in thought.
Suddenly, he looked at the sarcophagus.
Only the sarcophagus has not been found, although the aura has searched every corner of the cave, but it has not touched the sarcophagus, after all, it is unlucky.
But now, Qin Lin didn't care about being auspicious or unlucky, and stepped out and leaped in front of the sarcophagus.
"Although I don't know the name of my ancestors, although you and I are also innocent, but today I am only afraid that I will be offended, it is really a little inexplicable and disrespectful for an old friend to disappear!"
Qin Lin arched his hand, his tone apologetic.
Then, reach out and place your hand on top of the sarcophagus to feel the weight of the sarcophagus.
Suddenly, he tensed up.
He felt the power emanating from the sarcophagus, that is, at this time, his hand was on the sarcophagus and he tried to push the sarcophagus open, but the sarcophagus created a defense and prevented Qin Lin from pushing it away.
"A sarcophagus, how can there be such a defensive force?" Qin Lin gathered stronger strength and violently pushed the lid of the sarcophagus.
Click-
A hint of movement.
Qin Lin used all his strength, but he could only push open a gap.
"What kind of craftsman is this, and it has such a strong defense. Qin Lin was also surprised.
Approaching the gap in the sarcophagus, a familiar breath came to his face.
"Ruan Jie, Ruan Jie's breath will come out of the sarcophagus like this!" Qin Lin felt that something was wrong.
Looking through the gap into the sarcophagus, a corpse could be faintly seen inside the dark coffin.
Qin Lin condensed a flame between his fingers, and the flames compressed into a fireball, which entered the coffin along the gap under the control of Qin Lin's fingers.
With the firelight, the coffin brightened, but this also made Qin Lin's eyes completely constrict.
Because he could see clearly what the corpse lying in the coffin looked like.
It's Ruan Jie!
"Ruan Jie, how could Ruan Jie lie in the coffin? He died? No, how could a dead man still breathe, he couldn't have died. β
Qin Lin's thoughts fell into confusion, which made his hand pressing on the lid of the coffin unhelp but loosen some strength.
