"Oh no, run!"

Wen Xuan and Mu Chong ran away, trespassing on the forbidden land was a major violation of the canon, and if they were really caught, they would inevitably be punished heavily.

Although the man in black found them, there was no mountain road between the two places, so he could only stop where he was.

Wen Xuan and the others ran to the position of the mountain in one breath before stopping.

"He didn't catch up, did he?" Mu Chong, who has always been steady, was a little weak-hearted, and a lot of sweat flowed from his forehead and sideburns.

"It seems that no, who is this person?"

"I don't know, but since he knows about the mechanism above, he must be at least an elder in the sect."

"If you are a person in power in the church, why don't you come up openly?"

"The people of the Ming Sect have always acted secretively and unpredictable, isn't that Sect Master Li who is dressed in a black robe to cover his body the same?"

Wen Xuan put down the question for the time being, "Did you see the position where he climbed up just now?" ”

"What? Are you going to go up? ”

Wen Xuan nodded affirmatively without hesitation, "Tie Niu is my friend, I don't want him to be tortured in for another quarter of an hour, although I can't rescue him, but even if I go in to talk to him, or throw him a lighting fire." ”

Mu Chong's eyes lit up, and he was a little moved by his words, he hadn't even found him so righteous before.

Then he seriously recalled Fang Cai's position and analyzed: "He should have climbed up from Luoxia Valley." ”

"Luoxia Valley...... Where is this? ”

"It's just a natural valley, and no one goes there on weekdays."

"Let's go, let's go down first, and then go around to Luoxia Valley to have a look."

After the two of them quickly descended the mountain, they circled around the side peak where the Mingwang Cave was located, and touched into the Luoxia Valley.

The natural valley is not very large, because of the dark light and the alluvial rain on weekdays, the surrounding stone walls are covered with a thick layer of moss.

At noon, the dazzling sunlight shines through the cracks in the mountains, sprinkling on the stone walls like a wave, and the moss is very beautiful.

Wen Xuan found a half-human-high stone and dragged Mu Chong to hide behind.

The two of them waited patiently for about half an hour, when a vine on the edge of the cliff suddenly moved.

"It's coming!"

The two of them held their breath, only to see that the man in black was extremely skillful, and within a moment he slid down the vine.

The mysterious ...... of the gods Wen Xuan stared at the figure of the man in black and muttered in his heart.

Although the person in front of him was not wearing a robe like Sect Leader Li, he was also wearing a black robe, with a black scarf around his face that made it impossible to see his facial features, and he walked out of the valley quickly with a dusty burden on his hand.

The two continued to hide for half an hour, confirming that the man in black had not returned before talking softly.

"You don't have any impression of this person?"

Mu Chong shook his head and said, "Even if I don't have a black towel to cover my face, I may not be able to recognize it, we rarely walked out of Xiaofushe Village before." ”

Wen Xuan looked up at the location where the man in black had landed, and instantly made up his mind, and said to Mu Chong: "You are guarding here, I'll go up." ”

Mu Chong knew that he couldn't persuade him, and it was indeed easier for the two of them to be found if they went together, so he promised: "It's okay, then you should be careful." ”

Although the moss on the stone wall was extremely smooth, and Wen Xuan was not as skilled as the man in black, he quickly climbed to the edge of the cliff with his vigorous skills.

Mu Chong stared intently at Wen Xuan's figure, for fear that something would happen to him, but he didn't notice the danger approaching behind him.

"Don't make a sound, or I'll kill you."

A short and delicate dagger quietly approached, and the cold blade pressed against Mu Chong's throat.

How can it be? I didn't hear a sound!

Before Mu Chong could recover his composure from the shock, he was knocked unconscious by a black-clothed man behind him......

Wen Xuan, who came to the top of the cliff, also made a difficulty, knowing that the mechanism was in front of him, he could use his fingers to beat for a long time and did not hear the slightest different sound, so he could only touch his chin and observe.

It's here!

Wen Xuan's eyes were fixed on a palm-sized raised rock, which, although no different from other mountain rocks, looked smoother and cleaner on its surface.

Wen Xuan tried to hold it tightly with his hand, and gently broke it down, and sure enough, there was a "click" sound immediately, followed by a large mountain rock in front of him "rumbling", and the stone door he saw earlier was exposed.

Looking at the masterpiece in front of him, Wen Xuan admired the craftsman of the design mechanism from the bottom of his heart, but he also became puzzled.

How could such a complex and ingenious mechanism be just to lead to the Mingwang Cave?

With strong curiosity, Wen Xuan slowly pushed the stone door in front of him, stretched out his hand to disperse the flying dust slightly, and stepped in.

The tunnel is narrow, allowing only an ordinary adult male to pass through.

Since it was built in a mountain, it was dark all around, and no sunlight could shine in. Fortunately, there were torches left on the wall at the entrance, and Wen Xuan took out the fire fold prepared for the iron bull from his arms, lit a torch, and held it in his hand to light the way forward.

The stone road was tortuous and winding, and Wen Xuan finally arrived at a stone chamber after walking more than 100 steps.

On the walls around the stone chamber are stone carvings of various patterns, including hideous hellish ghosts, smiling Buddha Maitreya, good men and women praying for blessings, and lotus leaves and lotus flowers shrouded in smoke and clouds......

In front of the stone room, there is a long stone platform, on which dozens of tablets are placed, Wen Xuan approached and looked at it, and found several famous characters!

Sun Bodhisattva Wang Hua, Our Lady of the Red Sky Chen Shuozhen, Yongle Holy Gong Fang La......

Shouldn't this be the spiritual seat of the Ming Sect to worship the masters of the past dynasties? Wen Xuan hurriedly looked at his feet and found that there were indeed three futons wrapped in yellow silk brocade.

Shocked, Wen Xuan looked at the two tablets at the end, the two spirit cards have the same system and the same material, the former one is engraved with "Han Qiong", and the last one is engraved with "Li Hongyao".

Presumably, these two are the first two leaders of the Ming Sect......

After Wen Xuan bowed respectfully, he didn't stop for long, and continued to walk towards the only passage in front of the stone chamber.

Probably due to the lack of sunlight for a long time, the further you go along the stone path, the darker and damper it becomes.

It wasn't until a fork in the road suddenly appeared on the left hand side that Wen Xuan frowned and stopped, Mu Chong didn't mention it in advance, and he didn't know which way to go now was Mingwang Cave.

Just as he was in confusion, a faint voice suddenly came from the fork in the road on his left hand.

Someone?

For the sake of prudence, Wen Xuan extinguished the torch and walked lightly towards the fork in the road on the left, and the voice of words coming from front gradually became clear.

"Tie Niu, Brother Li once had a life grace to me before his death, I won't harm you, you believe me!"

Wen Xuan immediately recognized the owner of the voice, this is ...... Xu Nong!
