Chapter 176: Useful Information
The interior of this shelter is no different from the other shelters on the ice plateau, and there are moonstones placed in the niches on the walls for lighting, which illuminates the inside of the shelter clearly, and there is no one inside, and Qian Ming has disappeared.
Changxing swept the shelter inch by inch with his divine sense, and did not find any other exits or tunnels, Changxing opened the five senses and six senses to the maximum, and still did not feel the slightest abnormality, Changxing frowned slightly, this shelter house, I am afraid that a concealment formation was set up, specifically for the monk's divine sense exploration.
Changxing paced slowly in the shelter, remembering that Jin Qiulin had said that the ice cave where the girls were imprisoned was built under a shelter, so he simply squatted down and tapped the ground little by little with his hands, since the five senses and six senses had been disturbed by the formation, he could only rely on the most primitive and direct method.
After the whole house was inspected, there was still nothing unusual, except that there was a piece of ground near the wall, and the temperature was different from other places.
The ground of the shelter is the same as the material used to build the shelter, which is made of large blocks of ice and stone mine, although the feel of the ice stone is not as cold as the ice and snow, but the tentacles are also cold, and the temperature of the ice stone bricks on this ground is slightly higher than elsewhere.
This discovery lifted Changxing's spirits, and he conducted a careful search of this ground, and finally found a thumb-sized depression, which was very hidden, and looked like a flaw in an ice stone brick, even if someone saw it, they would not pay attention to it, this should be an authentic mechanism.
Changxing was a little hesitant, she didn't make a quick move, what was the situation under the tunnel, she didn't know at all, if she rushed in, and just fell into the enemy's den of thieves, how should she deal with it? Changxing first used the Mixed Yuan Ring to hide the aura around her body, and then sacrificed a spiritual power shield, clasped a talisman in her left hand, and held a golden knife in her right hand, and then gently pressed it towards the depression.
There was a slight sound in the air, and Changxing's whole body tensed, ready to meet the enemy, and with the sudden flip of the ground under his feet, he jumped into the tunnel.
At the same time, Changxing has released his divine sense, and he has seen everything in the tunnel clearly, the tunnel is not wide, and under the reflection of the moonstone on the wall, it looks deep and terrifying, with a soft "click", the ice stone floor tiles above his head have returned to their original state after flipping, and they are closed tightly.
Changxing groped carefully for a moment, found a thumb-sized bulge, and pressed it lightly, the floor tiles above his head turned over again, it seems that this place can still go out, Changxing relaxed a little, poked out his sense, and cautiously walked forward along the tunnel.
After walking for more than ten zhang, the tunnel gradually widened, and an ice cave with a square of one zhang appeared, in addition to the passage of the ice cave, there were two other holes, Changxing carefully explored, and found that there was no prohibition, so he chose the hole on the right, held all the breath, and slowly walked in.
Seeing another passage, Changxing carefully released his divine sense to investigate, slowly walked forward, and after walking seven or eight feet, he vaguely felt that a monk was talking, and hurriedly stopped, gathered all his spiritual power in his ears, and listened attentively.
“...... The female cultivator is very evil, the speed is extremely fast, and the means are high, Senior Brother Wang and I are not her opponents at all, Senior Brother Wang is afraid that the female cultivator who stole the formation talisman will tell her about us, causing unnecessary trouble, so he specially asked me to tell Senior Brother Luo, in addition, Senior Brother Wang has already returned to report to the son. The person who spoke was none other than Qian Ming.
A slightly cold voice came again: "The female cultivator you are talking about, we also met last night in the shelter in the depths of the ice plateau, I was worried that she was in the same group as the female cultivator who stole the formation talisman, so I sent Senior Brother Zhou and Senior Brother Ding to secretly follow her, but I didn't expect Senior Brother Zhou to die, and Senior Brother Ding disappeared without a trace......
"Huh?" Qian Ming exclaimed, "Senior Brother Luo, are you saying that Senior Brother Zhou and Senior Brother Ding were both killed by that female cultivator?"
"Senior Brother Zhou looks like he was attacked by a bear beast and died, but I think it is unlikely, Senior Brother Zhou's divine sense is super strong, if a bear beast is near, how can he not sense it, he can't beat it, but it is no problem to run, at that time, although I had doubts, but I didn't make up my mind. The cold voice paused slightly, and continued: "Now it seems that Bacheng is the handiwork of that female cultivator, just like she dealt with you and Senior Brother Wang, that is, after you fainted, she wanted to use the Ice and Snow Beast to kill you, which is the same method as her using the Bear Beast to kill Senior Brother Zhou. ”
Changxing thought back to the five people he met in the shelter yesterday, and the senior brother Zhou and senior brother Ding they were talking about should be the two monks who followed him yesterday, and they had been killed by themselves, and there were three left, so this one was called Senior Brother Luo, and the one who spoke coldly should be the monk who took the lead in the late stage of foundation building.
“...... Then this female cultivator is too evil! can she even challenge beyond the ranks?"
"The world is so big that there are no surprises. Senior Brother Luo's voice was faint: "That female cultivator gives me the feeling that it is very dangerous, as long as she doesn't find it, we will ignore it for the time being, now everything is focused on opening the big array, these revenge, there will be a chance to revenge in the future." ”
"Senior Brother Luo, do you mean that it doesn't matter if those two female cultivators are in contact, if they are in contact with the outside world, if the cultivator world knows......" Qian Ming was a little worried.
"Don't worry, even if they send a message to inform the outside world now, it's too late, as soon as tomorrow passes, the day after tomorrow will be the time when the big array will open, and it will only be a dozen hours, even if the outside world knows, what? When they arrive, the big array has already opened, I'm afraid they won't be able to take care of the crusade against us!"
There was silence for a while.
After a while, I heard Qian Ming ask with some concern: "Senior Brother Luo, the stolen array talisman has not been recovered, can this big array still be opened?"
"Don't worry, Childe has his own way, and when the time comes, you will naturally know. Senior Brother Luo's voice was full of confidence: "Since you are back, stay here for the next few days, and I will send someone else to do the things outside." ”
Perhaps seeing that Qian Ming was a little worried, Senior Brother Luo said again: "Don't worry, I know what you said, Gongzi asked us to stay in the ice cave for the past two days, and we must ensure that nothing goes wrong here." ”
"Yes. Qian Ming responded, hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Senior Brother Luo, there has been no news from the Divine Realm for more than 40,000 years, can the opening of the Great Array really connect to the Divine Realm?"
"For so many years, Gongzi has been studying this formation, naturally he will not be untargeted, when we followed Gongzi, wasn't it all because of this?Otherwise, with his adopted son and not the son of the city lord, how could we follow him with all our hearts?" Senior Brother Luo's faint voice came: "The big array will inevitably be opened, even if it can't be connected to the Divine Realm, it will also open the Secret Realm, and there are countless treasures in it, which are enough for us to cultivate in the future, so whether we can connect to the Divine Realm or not, there is no loss for us, so why worry." ”
The two gossiped a few more words, and Qian Ming withdrew.
As the slight footsteps faded away, Changxing didn't continue to explore, retreated to the ice cave the same way, thought about it, and walked into the passage on the left.
This passage is much wider than the passage on the right, and when you go forward for dozens of zhang, you can see that on both sides of the passage, there is a big hole in each of them, and all of them are squeezed and squeezed into the withered girls, Changxing walked slowly, and those girls looked numb and looked ahead sluggishly, as if they didn't see her at all.
Although he had heard Jin Qiulin mention it a long time ago, the scene in front of him still shocked Changxing.
There are more than a dozen such ice caves, and there are almost a hundred girls in each ice cave, and there are prohibitions at the entrance of the cave to prevent them from escaping, and in the last ice cave, Changxing saw nearly a hundred female cultivators, most of these female cultivators are only in the early and middle stages of qi refining, and only a few of them can reach the late stage of qi refining.
Changxing looked at their blank eyes, gave up communication, and was about to continue to explore, but in his divine sense, he noticed that two foundation building monks were coming this way, and after a little consideration, Changxing hurriedly returned the same way.
Changxing returned to the shelter along the original road, and this time he visited, he got three pieces of information: first, these people wanted to open the Extreme Yin Ten Evil Array in order to connect to the Divine Realm; second, even if Jin Qiulin stole the array talisman, the big array could be opened as usual; and the person behind the third curtain was the adopted son of a certain city lord's mansion.
Moreover, after her preliminary investigation, there were about 20 foundation building monks in the underground ice cave, several times more than the number Jin Qiulin said, it can be seen that since Jin Qiulin stole the formation talisman, the person behind the scenes has strengthened the defense here, and tomorrow night, it is the time to open the big array, at that time, I am afraid that the number of people here will increase unabated, Changxing frowned slightly, this information is really not happy, now the detention location of these girls has been determined, and the rescue needs to be planned in detail before it can be implemented.
The light of the day is slightly bright, Changxing has left the shelter, and quickly walked in the direction of Shui Yu City, tonight, it is already the time for the big array to open, she must go to Shui Yuan Qing as soon as possible, with the help of the power of Shui Yu City, rescue those girls.
When Changxing rushed back to Yucheng, the gate of Shuiyu City had just opened, and Changxing quickly passed through the prohibition, entered the city, and headed in the direction of the city lord's mansion.
The City Lord's Mansion is majestic and magnificent, there are Zhuji monks standing guard at the door, Changxing stepped forward and gave a salute to one of the gatekeepers, before saying: "My surname is Meng, come to the City Lord's Mansion to see Shui Yuanqing." ”
"Second son?" The doorkeeper shook his head and said, "The second son went out yesterday and has not returned. ”
Changxing's brows furrowed, and after thousands of calculations, he didn't even count that Suwon Qinghui was not there! A little unwilling, he asked again: "Did he say where he went and how long will he be able to come back?"
The doorkeeper shook his head: "No, the second son was in a hurry when he went out, and he didn't explain anything." ”
Changxing asked a few more words, but he couldn't ask for useful information at all, so he had to thank him, and left the city lord's mansion to go out of the city, borrowing this trick can't be used, it's false to say that he is not disappointed, Changxing really wants to stand by and watch, but when he thinks of the faces of those girls in the ice cave, he really can't bear it.
sent a message to Jin Qiulin to ask her to meet, and after waiting for only half an hour, Changxing's divine consciousness could already sense Jin Qiulin's figure, and he hurriedly greeted her.
Jin Qiulin was very excited when he saw Changxing, and asked what he had seen after the separation, and Changxing repeated what he had heard.
"Ahh
"Maybe I've found a replacement. Changxing twisted his eyebrows, "After all, listen to them, the 'childe' who instructed behind the scenes has been studying this big array for some time, and it has only been nearly half a year since he began to plan to open the big array, and there are spare replacements, it shouldn't be impossible." ”
Jin Qiulin irritably stuffed the array talisman into the storage bag, gritted his teeth and said, "Since there is a substitute, what are they going to do after my aunt and grandmother?"
Jin Qiulin's appearance of being hit hard made Changxing feel funny, and he couldn't help but show a smile on his face: "Okay, hurry up and prepare, we will act to save people tonight." ”
