Chapter 149, Tunnel in the Mountains
As soon as they walked in, the door outside would close automatically, and the air inside was stagnant, and there was basically no light.
The tunnel door is narrow, but the inside is wide, and it starts at the bottom of the mountain, but then dozens of steps appear in the tunnel, and the tunnel rises to the belly of the mountain.
After reaching the belly of the mountain, the tunnel goes straight forward, under the red light, the willow moves forward one after the other, the bottom of the tunnel is made of bluestone slabs, the tunnel is about 2 meters wide, the walls on both sides are also crawling with vines, the heart-shaped blades of the vines are stationary, there are shadows everywhere behind the leaves, the top of the tunnel is pitch black, I don't know how high, and the red light of the six-mangled crystal of Saruo can not shine on the top.
Since the situation in this tunnel is unknown, I don't know if there is any danger ahead, so Saruo Yangliu didn't dare to use his body to move forward, so he could only slowly move forward.
After about half an hour of advancement, the tunnel suddenly widened and became a square stone chamber, with a square stone table in the center, four square stone benches around the stone table, and a pool next to the stone table, and sixteen huge stone pillars near the wall around the stone room, four on each wall, surrounded by vines on the stone pillars, and a stone lampstand with a light source in the middle of the stone pillar, but now those light sources did not shine, but were still full of cobwebs.
Sa Ruo passed by the pool, saw that the surface of the pool was actually bubbling with white gas, bent down, reached out and touched it, the water inside was hot, and the water surface under the white gas was still bubbling, it seemed that this was a hot spring.
Sa Ruo said: "Yang Liu, come and wash, I'm sweating." ”
Yang Liu bent down, picked up the water, sprinkled some on her face, the water droplets flowed down from her fair face, fell into the pool, only to hear the crisp sound of the water, the water surface rippled a few circles, Yang Liu said: "Saruo, this water also contains spiritual power!"
Sa Ruo also picked up a handful of water and washed his face, the water really contained rich spiritual power, after washing his face, he felt refreshed, and said: "This pool of water seems to have a healing effect." ”
Yang Liu said: "Look!"
Sa Ruo looked at the place where the willow pointed, and saw a stone tablet standing in the corner of the pool, on which was written "Healing Pool", and many vines were also entwined at the bottom of the stone tablet.
Sa Ruo said: "It turns out that this pool of water is really used for healing!"
Yang Liu said: "The Bright City of the Western Continent has stood for hundreds of years without falling, there is really a reason, there is such a tunnel in this forbidden land, and there is such a hot spring pool in the tunnel, and the water of this hot spring pool can be healed, it is really amazing!"
Sa Ruo said: "I don't know if the City Lord's Mansion can continue to be so strong after tonight." ”
Saruo's meaning is naturally that if other people get the eye of spiritual power, take away the source of spiritual power of Taixuan Mountain Villa, lose the support of the eye of spiritual power, and lose Taixuan Mountain Villa, can the City Lord's Mansion continue to be strong.
Yang Liu said: "Hearing you say that, I think we will definitely succeed tonight." ”
Sa Ruo was surprised and said, "How can you be so confident, the strength of the old city lord of the City Lord's Mansion is unimaginable!"
Yang Liu said: "The wind does not end, the rain does not end, the city lord's mansion cannot always be so strong, the prosperity must decline, the natural law of things, if you want to come to this city lord's mansion, you can escape."
I don't think that's the rule. ”
Although Sa Ruo felt that what Yang Liu said was very reasonable, he couldn't have too much confidence in tonight because of these good expectations, Sa Ruozhen didn't know how to face such a powerful figure as the old city lord.
The two of them talked a lot, but only for a moment. They set off again, out of the stone room, re-entered the tunnel, and walked for a long time, Saruo felt more and more stuffy, the refreshment after washing his face just now, now disappeared again, Saruo couldn't help but irritate and said: "When is this tunnel a head, why is it so long!"
The vines on both sides of the tunnel grew thicker and thicker, and some of them reached into the middle of the tunnel, and Saro reached out and tore off a few of them, throwing them on the ground.
Yang Liu comforted him and said, "Saruo, don't worry, I think it should be almost there." ”
Sa Ruo naturally knew that he was in a hurry, and he forced himself to calm down again, for some reason he came to this forbidden place, he was always a little unable to hold his breath, maybe it was the reason why the nine-colored divine thunder in his body was constantly throbbing, maybe it was the reason why he was worried that the seven divine objects were taken away by others.
After walking for a while, dozens of steps descended in front of me, and the tunnel sank from the belly of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain.
Saro was overjoyed and said, "It seems that the end is ahead." ”
After going down the steps, the tunnel began to narrow, and Saroo was in a hurry to get out, so he didn't pay attention to his feet, and after going down the tunnel, he walked forward quickly, and suddenly he heard a click, and the soles of his feet seemed to step on a raised stone. Saro shouted, "Oh no!"
Then the whole tunnel began to shake, and dust and stones fell overhead, and Sarao pulled over the willows to dodge a falling rock overhead, when a dull thunderous roar came from the ground.
Yang Liu said: "Saruo, it's not good, get out of here, the walls on both sides are close to each other!"
Saro took a closer look, and sure enough, the walls were closing quickly, and if they didn't get out of here quickly, they would be caught here.
Saruo pulled up the willow and ran forward, the rubble falling above his head, and the sound of "boom, boom, boom" behind him as the wall approached.
After running for a while, Saruo finally saw the end of the tunnel in front of him, but there was also a stone door at the end, Saruo touched it for a long time and didn't touch the mechanism to open the door, seeing that the walls on the left and right sides were also closing, and in the end, only the width of their bodies remained, Saruo shouted, the spiritual power exploded, and the shadow of the eight-pole collapse fist slammed on the stone door, and the stone gate flew out.
Saruo pulled the willow, a phoenix flying in the sky, and escaped.
Fearing that they would be discovered as soon as they came out like this, Saro was ready for an attack, but nothing happened, they were in a valley full of scattered boulders, and the moonlight shone on them, and the boulders were pale white, and there were intricate paths between the boulders.
The air in the valley is circulating, I don't know how much better than the air in the tunnel, Saruo greedily breathed the fresh air, only felt refreshed physically and mentally, and said: "It's so dangerous, I was almost caught in it!"
Yang Liu had a lot of dust on his face and body, and said with a smile: "It's good that you broke the stone door just now, otherwise we would have been miserable." ”
Sa Ruo naturally stretched out his hand, used his sleeve to help Yang Liu wipe the dust off his face, and said: "I am also helpless, you must know that if the old city lord is here, how can we."
It's not miserable!"
Yang Liu smiled: "The rainstorm doesn't end all day, our luck will not be so bad." ”
Saruo looked at Yang Liu's smile and felt that she was simply too beautiful, and said, "Yang Liu, I found that after returning to the Western Continent, you have changed a lot, and your personality is not as cold as before!"
Yang Liu was slightly stunned, a little embarrassed, and said, "Then, am I better before or better now?"
Saro smiled: "No matter what, it's best to be yourself!"
Yang Liu savored this sentence, couldn't help but be a little stupid, and muttered: "Be the best for yourself"
They took a short rest and prepared to start again, but they encountered problems again, there were too many boulders, too many forks, they really didn't know which way to go, Yang Liu said that it was better to climb on the boulder to walk, but Saro felt that the target on the boulder was too big and easy to be discovered.
However, they didn't dwell on it for long before they saw a mark drawn with stone on a boulder beside them, and the mark was an arrowhead, which was thought to have been left by Qin Wei, and they walked in the direction indicated by the arrow, shuttling through the gaps in the boulder, as long as they were about to get lost, they could rediscover the arrow left by Qin Wei.
So they walked much faster for the rest of the journey, and in a short time they came to the end of the rock, and in front of them was an open clearing.
As soon as they arrived, they noticed that there was movement in front of them, and they hurriedly hid behind a boulder, and when Saruo looked through the crack in the stone, he saw three people standing in the open space in front of them.
Those three people were Qin Wei, Qin Huan, and the old city lord.
The old city lord was dressed in white, six feet tall, his hair was all white, hanging down to his waist, I heard Yang Liu say that the old city lord was more than eighty years old, but from the back, the old city lord was tall and tall, with broad shoulders, and he didn't look like he was eighty years old at all.
Qin Huan bowed down and stood behind the old city lord, not daring to raise his head, his body trembling.
Qin Wei stood on the right hand side of the old city lord with his hands down, also bowing his head.
The two of them were obviously extremely afraid of the old city lord, the old city lord carried his hands behind his back, looked up at the only boulder in the clearing, Sa Ruo took a look, the boulder was not strange except for being taller and bigger, but the old city lord looked cautious, Sa Ruo's heart moved, and he thought, could it be that the "Spiritual Power Eye", one of the seven gods, may appear here?
It's just that it doesn't mean that there is a guardian spirit phoenix, what about the spirit phoenix?
Saruo only felt his heart beating wildly, and he was very nervous. Time also seems to stand still.
The surroundings were very quiet, and Sa Ruo Yangliu held his breath and stared, not daring to make a sound at all, for fear that he would be accidentally discovered by the old city lord and attract his thunderous anger.
Saruo only felt that the old city lord was only standing there, and his body exuded a strong momentum, everything around him was shrouded in his momentum, Saruo and they were no exception, Saruo only felt an inexplicable pressure in his heart, like a mountain-like pressure, Saruo couldn't think of if the old city lord found him and attacked him, he could withstand a blow, Saruo never thought that he had such a weak feeling in his heart, he didn't know how he could complete his mission today.
Suddenly, I heard the old city lord say: "Are you saying that the elixir garden has been destroyed and stolen by someone?
