13. Chapter 13
In the past few days since Qingxue came back, she has been mixed with Luo Luo, and the treatment level has also risen gradually, and there are chefs who eat and bathe, which is really rare and comfortable. But the good times didn't last long, and I was called to the study by Liu Huan when I got up this morning.
Qing Xue entered the study and saw that the major elders of the Xuanwu Sect and the two brothers had arrived. I know that it must be for Suiyang's business.
Just a month ago, Liu Huan's spies in Suiyang reported that they had discovered a secret realm in Suiyang's Jade Peak. This secret realm is said to be left by the Jade Void Daoist hundreds of years ago when he flew immortals, and there are various cheats and magic weapons in the secret realm, and those who can enter the secret realm and obtain the treasure will get superhuman energy. It is said that it was because of chance that Luo Yu's master entered a secret realm to become today's mysterious and powerful being.
Therefore, Liu Huancai rushed to Suiyang non-stop after hearing the news of the secret realm, and now he knows where the entrance to the secret realm is. Liu Huan is ready to select the elites of the sect to enter the secret realm to hunt for treasures. Because the attraction of the secret realm is very huge, in order to avoid other sects from competing for it, Liu Huan has repeatedly issued strict orders that no one is allowed to disclose information to outsiders, and he needs to hide his eyes and ears. To the outside world, it was only claimed that Liu Huan and a few of his children went out to inspect the industry, while the others rushed to Suiyang in batches to gather in disguise as businessmen.
Since you want to hide people's eyes, Luoluo is a good cover. On this trip, Liu Huan was going to let Qingxue take Luo Luo with him, one was to cover the real purpose, and the other was that he was afraid that Luo Luo would have an accident at home, so he should always rest assured when he stayed by his side and took care of him.
So in the early morning of the next day, Luo Luo, who was still asleep, was dug up from the quilt, got into the carriage in a daze, and followed Liu Huan and his party to Suiyang.
Two days later, Luo Luo finally followed Liu Huan and Qingxue to Suiyang, and settled in a separate courtyard in Xuanwu Gate. That night, Liu Huan made arrangements and arrangements for the gathering of all the Xuanwu Sect people, and this time he personally led the team, taking the three Qingxue brothers and sisters and the four elders of the Xuanwu Sect to enter the secret realm the next day together with the 24 Mingzi disciples who were selected to □□. And Luo Luo is in charge of Lang Mo, and taking her around Suiyang is regarded as a relaxation.
Luo Luo was so depressed when he learned that the lady was going to leave for a period of time because of the inspection of the industry. Not long after getting married, they got together less and left more, how can they cultivate feelings. But depressed is depressed, people are doing the right thing, and you can't stop it. Although Luo Luo, who was originally inspirational and good at being fair, was full of reluctance, he did not show his tolerance and thoughtfulness. only instructed Qingxue to pay more attention to her body and eat on time, so she reluctantly watched Qingxue leave.
Qing Xue followed the large army to the Yufeng mountainside an hour later, and stopped in front of a dead tree. Seeing that the spies went up and moved a stone next to the dead tree, they heard a bang, and the trunk of the ancient tree opened a door-sized opening. Led by the disciples of the Ming generation, the group entered the tree hole in turn.
Behind the tree hole is a tunnel that can only accommodate one person, and after about half a pillar of incense, the tunnel gradually widens. Further on, you will come to a large cave, and you will see strange pictures painted around the cave. In front of the cavern are twelve chain suspension bridges that connect to a clearing in front of it, and below the suspension bridge is an endless abyss.
With so many options, it was difficult to start, and for the sake of safety, Liu Huan asked one of his disciples to explore the way. The kid randomly chose a drawbridge and walked forward, took a few steps tentatively and found that there was no problem, just wanted to turn around and call everyone over, but suddenly found that his feet became unconscious, and he couldn't move. When he looked down, his feet had turned into stones, and this petrified state was spreading from his calves to his body, and the disciple screamed in horror. As his fear intensified, the speed of petrification continued to increase, and it didn't take long for his whole body to turn into a stone man, and then burst in an instant after being completely petrified. A living person ended up just a pile of ashes.
And the people who stood by the bridge and witnessed this qiē suddenly felt their scalps tingle. Such a living person disappeared in an instant, but fortunately it was not himself who had passed.
Liu Huan relieved himself from the frightened picture just now, it seems that this secret realm is far more complicated than he imagined, and he must deal with it carefully. So Liu Huan summoned another disciple of the Ming character generation and asked him to choose one of the paths, and the disciple who was called was terrified in his heart after the scene just now, but the order of the master and the temptation to obtain the supreme treasure made him brave and chose one of the suspension bridges.
I saw him cautiously go up the suspension bridge and take a few tentative steps, and found that there was no problem. Continue walking until you reach the end of the bridge and don't find any problems. Everyone was relieved to see that he had spent his time safe and sound, and Liu Huan arranged for everyone to start on the bridge one after another according to the lowest grade, one, two, three, everyone moved forward in an orderly manner, but when the fifth person arrived, the pedal of the suspension bridge collapsed instantly, and everyone on the bridge fell into the bottomless abyss with the pedal of the suspension bridge before they could react.
Looking at the suspension bridge with only two iron chains left, Liu Huan was extremely depressed. Before I really entered the secret realm, I lost six people, so I'm afraid that if I don't enter the secret realm, all the people will be buried here.
But thinking about it, the fanatical pursuit of treasure still failed to stop Liu Huan and his party. Liu Huan thought about it, and asked a disciple to choose a suspension bridge to try to walk over, this disciple only walked a few steps on the bridge, and then felt that his calf seemed to be stung by something, and with the experience of the past, this disciple was afraid and wanted to retreat to the suspension bridge. As soon as I was about to take a step, I saw a group of black bugs gushing out from under the drawbridge, and the bugs were moving very fast. In the blink of an eye, they all rushed towards the disciple on the suspension bridge, and with the disciple's screams, he saw that he was surrounded by those black insects, and he couldn't see the appearance of a person at all. When the bugs dispersed again, the disciple was left with only a pile of skeletons.
However, the insects that poured out did not disperse, they seemed to smell the fresh smell of people on the bank of the bridge, and crawled towards Liu Huan and them along the suspension bridge, everyone panicked and wanted to escape, only Qingxue stood in place with an ugly face and watched those insects crawl towards him.
As the insect approached, Qingxue's face became more and more ugly, and the fear in her heart deepened day by day. But she still forced herself to stand still, but miraculously happened, when the bugs rushed to the edge of the drawbridge, as if they were afraid of something, they did not dare to cross the drawbridge. After gathering at the edge of the drawbridge for a while, the bugs gradually dispersed, and the drawbridge gradually returned to its original state.
Qingxue, who looked at a series of changes, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and what she guessed was right. These insects had been dormant under the drawbridge before, and if they had been able to cross the drawbridge, they would have been eaten by the group when they entered the secret realm. How can they give them a chance to escape.
However, there are still nine suspension bridges, and no one knows what dangers will be encountered in the future, and if they just try one by one, I am afraid that there will be few people left behind them. Now we can only retreat to the same place and think about it in the long run.
Seeing that the insects did not come up, the people who had been scattered birds and beasts gathered together again. Liu Huan secretly observed everyone's appearance just now, and when everyone was busy and didn't choose a way, only Qingxue stood calmly in place. I think she has some concerns about the current situation, so when she got together, she asked Qingxue first to know what she thought about the current situation.
Qing Xue carefully observed the suspension bridge and slowly said her thoughts: "Judging from the few attempts so far, it may be that every suspension bridge hides an unknown crisis, and no matter which one you choose, it is a dead end. However, there was only one danger in every drawbridge, and I looked at the chains of the drawbridges, and found that they were made of cold iron and extremely hard, and the chains were firmly welded to the iron pillars over there. In that case, can we take local materials and build a new suspension bridge with planks on top of the two suspension bridge chains where all the planks have just fallen, so that I think we can reach the other side of the suspension bridge along the lìtong guò suspension bridge. ”
After listening to Qingxue's analysis, everyone felt that it was very reasonable, and they all turned their heads to look at Liu Huan and wait for his decision.
Liu Huan listened to Qingxue's analysis and felt that it was very reasonable, so he ordered everyone to temporarily withdraw from the secret realm for a temporary rest, and continue to explore the realm tomorrow after the planks were ready.
