Chapter 37: A Two-Man Walk

In the faint firelight, Li Yi saw the three girls of the Zongzheng family standing against the wall, their beautiful and dusty faces were calm and indifferent, and they did not see the slightest panic and nervousness. He couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart, this third girl is really bold, not like Miss Jiao who has been raised in the Buddhist hall.

After looking at the left and right, going up and down, and then touching his chin and pondering for a moment, Li Yi decisively pointed in one direction and said, "Go here." ”

He was pointing in the direction of another small Buddha hall, but Zong Zhengke couldn't let him go there. First, the secret cannot be revealed; Second, this place has collapsed, and it must not be better over there. So she shook her head and pointed in the opposite direction: "Go this way." ”

Li Yiqi said: "Why? ”

Zong Zhengke leaned against the wall and walked over slowly, Li Yi not only did not step forward to help, but avoided letting her pass by a little. She touched the damp wall, then pinched up a small piece of wet mud that fell on the ground, and said lightly: "The front has been blocked by a mudslide, and I can't get through." ”

Li Yi chuckled and simply nodded: "The third girl has good eyesight." I didn't expect that there was a tunnel under this small Buddha hall. Let me guess, the other side will not lead to where Su Hui lives, right? ”

Zong Zhengke knew that this guy was actually testing himself! She just didn't know, so she picked up the small burden that also fell down with the firelight, hugged it in her arms, and followed Li Yi silently to another unknown direction.

Seeing that Zong Zhengke didn't answer, Li Yi laughed twice more and said no more. Her silence is actually telling. The two of them were silent all the way, and they walked in the underground passage with a shallow foot.

Time passed slowly, and this long underground passage, which had no road ahead and no road back, had been built for many years, and the ventilation effect was good before. But today, mudslides are raging in the nunnery, and many air vents have been blocked, and the air in the passage is a little dirty.

Li Yi took out his pocket watch to check the time, and found that the two had not gone far. But soon, the two of them went out of the realm of the Pure Liuli Temple, and the air became fresh. Walking and walking, Li Yi found that something was wrong, and after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but laugh, although the passage went around, the direction in front of him was ...... Isn't it Sanqingguan?!

The end point is also in the Fish Fin Ridge where the Sanqing Temple is located! It's all providence! Zong Zhengke raised his eyes to look at Li Yi's upright back, shook his head secretly, and also sighed a little at this person's luck.

She didn't dare to use her true qi to treat the discomfort of her legs and feet, so she could only endure it. Fortunately, the place is not far away, and you can barely walk. Li Yi had already found that Zong Zhengke's walking was a little inconvenient, but since she didn't ask for help, she tried her best to hide it during her actions, so he could only pretend not to know, thinking about taking care of the third girl's self-esteem.

But after a while, Li Yi stood still and said: "I don't know how far I have to go, I only carry a fire fold with me, it's best to save some money." Third girl, do you think this is good? I can see darkly, and you take the corner of my clothes and follow slowly. ”

What people say makes sense, and Zong Zhengke can't take the initiative to say that the destination is not far away. She answered in a low voice, and stretched out her hand to hold the corner of the light blue robe handed over by Li Yi. He was very disciplined, did not touch her hand, and quickly let go of it after confirming that she was holding it.

The fire was extinguished, and Zong Zhengke could take the opportunity to avoid the large and small stones in the passage, so that his legs and feet could feel better. She already felt that Li Yi was willing to take care of her, and his speed was very slow, completely accommodating her.

After walking for nearly three hours, I am afraid that the pre-dawn light has appeared outside. Every half an hour, Li Yi would use various excuses to stop and rest, and Zong Zhengke also took out the snacks in the box and shared them with him. She noticed that Li Yi might be hungry, although he didn't eat much, he always swallowed the snack in a hurry in two bites, but he never asked for more.

Finally, a moss-covered stone door appeared in front of them, and at a glance they knew how old they were. In the records of the books obtained by Zong Zhengke, behind the door should be the underground remains of the royal palace built by the Tianxing Dynasty in Yuyan Mountain more than 150 years ago.

Master Huiyi, who was born in the Great Pushou Monastery, was specially sent to Yuyan Mountain by Chengjing Shenni more than 30 years ago in order to find this underground ruin.

It was precisely because it was later discovered that the specific address was under the Fish Fin Ridge that Master Huiyi presided over the construction of the Qingjing Liuli Nunnery not far from Sanqingguan. All the expenses in the nunnery are allocated by the Dapushou Zen Temple, in order to attract as little attention as possible to protect the relics from outsiders.

This time, when Zong Zhengke left the East China Sea and returned to Tianxingguo to bid farewell to the Chengjing Shenni, the Shenni gave her the details of the Liuli Nunnery, and asked her to explore this underground ruin if she had the opportunity to see if she could get something.

Zong Zhengke will never forget, Shenni gently took her hand, looked at her lovingly, and whispered to her that if there is a harvest, she will hand it in if she wants to, and if she doesn't want to, she will keep it for herself.

The book that records the ruins was originally discovered by accident when Shenni traveled around the world, and it was her own personal possession, and she left it to whoever she wanted. She has many disciples and grandchildren, but she still gave this opportunity to Zong Zhengke, who is not really a master and apprentice with her.

Recalling this, Zong Zhengke's heart was warm. In the two lives before and after, whether it was the Pure Void Daogu or the Chengjing Shenn, they all gave her the care and love of a mother and grandmother, so that her once devastated spirit was warmly shone like the sun, and she did not completely wither.

This time, it should be cheap and unsullied, oh no, Li Yi, a disciple of the Dao Sect. However, Zong Zhengke didn't want Li Yi to guess the connection between her and Venerable Su Hui; Second, she always thought of the life-saving and life-saving grace of the Tianyi True Sect in her previous life, and it didn't hurt to give Li Yi some benefits. Anyway, opportunities and dangers coexist, and multiple people can share the danger when they go to explore the secret together.

Li Yi didn't know the thoughts of Zong Zhengke, who was quiet on the surface, but he only knew that he finally understood why Su Hui and the general trend had successively descended to Yuyan Mountain. And this underground ruin is probably the place where his father told him to find it as much as possible. Ha, I really wanted to fall asleep and met the pillow, and it didn't take much effort to come!

While inspecting the stone door, Li Yi said to Zong Zhengke behind him: "Third girl, I don't know what is behind the door. But don't worry, those who see it have a share. The things inside the door are useful to those of us who practice martial arts, and I hope you can let me do it. I won't have it exclusively, and I'm going to give half of it to your friend Venerable Su Hui. If it is silver or gold, all these worldly possessions, whatever amount they may be, will be thee. How is it? ”

Zong Zhengke nodded, and said with a slight opening of his lips: "Okay." ”

How did you suddenly cherish words like gold. Li Yi shook his head, asked Zong Zhengke to stay away from him, and quite thoughtfully moved a big stone for her to sit and rest. He himself walked up to the stone gate and carefully observed. Since it was an underground ruin that his father specially asked him to explore, it must be unusual, so it is better to be careful.

Zong Zhengke sat on the big rock, waiting, waiting, waiting. After a pillar of incense, she also found a piece of dim sum and ate it, but she still didn't see Li Yi make any moves.

She packed up her baggage, stood up, and walked forward, past Li Yi, who was squatting on the ground and still desperately figuring out what mechanism the stone door bearing was, and stretched out her hand to push it gently. Li Yi only had time to open his mouth, and he didn't even have time to say a word, when he saw that the stone door shook twice, slightly revealing a crack in the door. Other than that, there was no other movement.

Zong Zhengke lowered his face, stepped back, and sat back on the stone, as if the bold person just now was not her. Li Yi Huoran got up, the corners of his forehead jumped, and he wanted to open his mouth to scold Zong Zhengke when he stared at him. Before he could say anything, he stiffened for a moment, then closed his mouth again.

Facing Zong Zhengke's calm and rather innocent eyes, Li Yi said helplessly: "Third girl, even if you are impatient to wait and want to push the door, tell me a word, don't come up rashly." You don't have martial arts, if something happens, how can I explain to Su Hui's stinky girl? I really didn't see that you were so reckless, but you looked quite steady and calm. ”

Stinky girl? Zong Zhengke said calmly: "Obviously, as long as you reach out and push, you can try to see if you can open the door, why do you want to think about it for so long?" Immortal Master, you are too suspicious. She didn't actually know that this door would open as soon as she pushed it, she just wanted to try to push it first, and then think about something else if she couldn't push it open.

Li Yi was stunned for a moment, then scratched the back of his head, nodded and said, "Third girl, what you said makes some sense." Come on, I'm wrong about you this time. But you better stand back a bit, and I'll push the door open. ”

Zong Zhengke was as good as a stream, and retreated far away under the command of Li Yi. Li Yi saw that she was standing within the safety range, so he took a long breath and pulled out his small pocket dust whisk to guard ahead. He didn't use his hands directly, but slowly opened the stone door that had been slightly exposed with his true qi.

With a rumbling sound, the door opened. Is it true that I am too suspicious? Li Yi felt quite faceless. At best, he is cautious; If he crooked his mouth, he would be as timid as a mouse, and he would not be as bold as his daughter's family.

Fortunately, the third girl of Zongzheng doesn't look like the kind of person with a broken mouth, I hope she won't arrange herself indiscriminately in front of Su Hui. Li Yi raised the fire fold high, looked into the door, and after a while, turned his head and beckoned to Zong Zhengke: "Third girl, please." Zong Zhengke walked over slowly, followed him into the stone gate, and casually covered the stone gate.

There are two worlds inside and outside. The fire has been extinguished, but there is light ahead. It's not bright, but it's not dark outside.

Zong Zhengke could see a cliff a few steps away, and there was a palace complex built in the ground at a depth of many meters below the cliff. It's not large, but it's as big as five palaces. They stood majestically, seemingly undamaged, and the most magnificent and splendid palace in the middle, the highest point of which was almost as level as the cliff.

Li Yi pointed to the left-hand side: "There are steps to go down, you should be careful yourself." After a moment of hesitation, he looked at Zong Zhengke, who was calm, and lowered his gaze swept over her knees and ankles covered by the cloak, or asked, "Do you want me to hold you a little?" ”

Zong Zhengke was silent for a moment, then looked at the steps on the left that meandered down like a long snake, estimated that it was a few thousand steps, and then whispered: "I wonder if you have a way to restore my legs and feet to the same as before?" "Isn't that a hundred?
