Chapter 43: The Eight Gates
Ling Jing and Linglong walked more than ten zhang in the dark in the corridor, and suddenly saw a faint cold light shining in front of the left, Linglong hurriedly grabbed his sleeve and reminded: "Wait, be careful." ”
Ling Jing nodded, drew his long sword, and after walking for a while, the Yongdao suddenly turned to the left, and this trace of cold light shot out from the end of this Yongdao.
It's just that this section of the road is much longer than the previous one, and standing in this position, he can't figure out what is in front of him.
And although there is a faint light on this part of the road, the vision is still very blurry, if there are any traps on this road, it is impossible to prevent it.
He had some worries in his heart, and hurriedly grabbed Linglong's hand, and his body fell half a step in front of Linglong.
When Linglong saw his movements, she couldn't help but gently shake his palm, and in the dark night, a gentle smile appeared on her face, and she whispered: "Stinky boy, my sister doesn't need you to protect me yet." ”
Ling Jing couldn't quite see the expression on her face very clearly, and suddenly smiled when he heard this, in fact, he just instinctively wanted to protect Linglong behind him just now, but he forgot that this girl's martial arts were much better than his own, and said in a low voice: "Hey, give me face, how can I say that I am also a man." ”
Linglong smiled "poof", and the silver bell-like laughter echoed in the corridor, and said angrily: "Don't you be naughty, aren't you worried about your friend?" ”
Ling Jing's heart tightened slightly when he heard this, and he didn't say more, and the two of them walked forward cautiously all the way.
The light in front of them was getting brighter and brighter, but unexpectedly, the two of them didn't trigger any mechanism along the way, and they couldn't help but have some doubts in their hearts: "In such a critical place, can you go in and get the treasure inside so easily?" ”
However, this thought only passed away in a flash, and then both of them shook their heads secretly, knowing that this place would definitely not be so simple, and the danger must still be in the depths.
Soon, the two of them crossed the Yongdao and came to a stone cave with a diameter of forty or fifty zhang, only to see that the top of the stone cave was inlaid with a fist-sized night pearl, which illuminated a huge stone cave, and the cold light they saw in the Yongdao before was just a ray of light poured out by these night pearls.
And on the mountain wall in this stone cave, there are eight huge stone gates, according to the direction of the eight trigrams, they fall around respectively, Qian, Kun, Kan, Li, Zhen, Gen, Xun, Dui, the stone gates of the eight directions are carved with different carvings representing heaven, earth, water, fire, thunder, mountain, wind, Ze.
Ling Jing carefully glanced at the surrounding environment, knowing that the mystery in this cave must be in these eight stone gates, but if you follow the annotations in the "Book of Changes", Qian represents the sky, Kun represents the earth, Kan represents water, Li represents fire, Zhen represents thunder, Gen represents the mountain, Xun represents the wind, and Dui represents Ze, the eight directions naturally have their own different mysteries, so which stone gate is the real entrance?
He frowned and swept around the eight stone gates, but it was hard to discern anything from the outside.
Linglong stared at the stone doors around her, and immediately fell into deep thought.
At the same time, the other three people who had already come to the stone cave also set their eyes on Ling Jing and the others, Luo Feng originally followed Zuo Lengchan and Huang Jin into the cave first, originally this secret land was the treasure house left by the thirty-fifth generation patriarch of his sect to the descendants of future generations, if he really let the contents fall into the hands of Huang Jin and other suspicious outsiders, what kind of face would he have to meet the ancestors and ancestors underground.
The three of them came to this stone cave one after another, and then they fell into a deep thought about the eight stone gates, knowing that the eight gates could not all be real entrances, and it was likely that seven of them were dead doors.
For a while, the three of them were on guard while thinking carefully.
Luo Feng was naturally relieved when he saw Ling Jing and the others coming in, although he had broken through recklessly before, but facing two grandmaster-level masters by himself, he was naturally very apprehensive in his heart.
Zuo Lengchan and Huang Jin glanced at Ling Jing coldly, and then their eyes fell on Linglong, who had an indifferent face, and a trace of jealousy flashed on their faces.
Ling Jing and Linglong walked to Luo Feng's side at this time, and while being wary of Zuo Lengchan and Huang Jin, they whispered, "Old Luo, are there any clues?" ”
I thought to myself: "This secret land was left by Luo Feng's ancestor, so it is impossible for this person not to leave any hints for future disciples." ”
But Luo Feng shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "To be honest, in fact, my eyes were black when I arrived at this place, and the eight stone gates may have something to do with my master, but I can't tell you an idea for a while." ”
Ling Jing stared at Luo Feng's face for a moment, then sighed.
Linglong suddenly sneered when she heard this, and said, "The surname is Luo, since you hide it and don't say it, then we will go to one place later." As for who the treasures in this are, then it depends on their abilities. ”
As he spoke, he pulled Ling Jing to take two steps aside.
Luo Feng smiled awkwardly and said, "I didn't mean that."
Ling Jing shook his head slightly at Linglong, but after seeing her "hum", he tilted his head to the side, obviously not having a good impression of Luo Feng.
However, he did understand Luo Feng's thoughts a little, after all, this secret land was a treasure left by his ancestor to his disciples in later generations, and now although he was forced to cooperate with Huang Jin and open this place, in his heart, he naturally didn't want the things left by the ancestor to fall into the hands of others.
This "other", Ling Jing himself is naturally included.
He didn't say much about Luo Feng's approach, but just like Linglong said, since you don't say what you know, then I naturally don't need to help you anymore, although I understand your approach, it doesn't mean that I have to continue to help you without hesitation.
So, if you want to get what is in it, then you have to rely on your ability.
Luo Feng's face was very embarrassed, in fact, he did have some speculation in his heart, but although Ling Jing was a helper he invited, and the two were also friends, there were still some things that could not be seen by outsiders, and he had been speculating that Ling Jing might have some plans for his martial arts, so although he intersected with him, he still had some vigilance in his heart.
Ling Jing glanced at him lightly, and then smiled indifferently, although for the sake of this mission, he had to learn this martial arts method of "borrowing strength", but since he intersected with Luo Feng, he had given up his plan to seek mental methods from him, as for what Luo Feng would think, he didn't care.
Since the system suggests that you can learn this method in the plot scene, then there must be something you want in this "Ten Thousand Gate Cave".
On the other side, Zuo Lengchan and Huang Jin couldn't help but smile at each other when they saw the three of them suddenly separate.
After a while, other people in the valley also entered the cave one after another, these people are all good hands, and their light skills are naturally not weak, how can these mountain walls that are several zhang high stop them.
Huang Jin whispered a few words in the ear of a middle-aged brocade-robed man, then hugged his fist at Zuo Lengchan, then looked at Luo Feng, and said: "Luo Feng, this 'True Dragon Ancient Jade' has been in our hands for more than a hundred years, if it weren't for you, I really wouldn't be able to open this place." Haha, I can't thank you enough. It's just that I don't know how your senior brother should hate you when he knows the news. ”
"Hahahaha!"
In the laughter, Huang Jin had already turned into a streamer, and rushed straight to the Qianmen, and the speed of his body was like a white horse passing through the gap, which made the people around him breathtaking.
Ling Jing looked at his body style, and then showed a strange expression, it is not surprising that this person's body method is very fast, after all, there are still many people in the world who are very skillful, but from this person's suitable body style, he feels a trace of familiarity.
He couldn't help it, so he turned his head to look at Linglong, as if this person's body was quite similar to the light skills that Linglong had used.
However, Linglong had an unsurprising expression on her face, noticing Ling Jing's strange gaze, and said with a smile: "I know what you want to ask, but I won't tell you." ”
Ling Jing was choked for a moment, and then saw Huang Jin's subordinates using similar techniques and running towards Kunmen.
Luo Feng's face was gloomy after hearing Huang Jin's words, but then when he saw them rushing straight into Qianmen and Kunmen, a mocking smile appeared on his face.
Zuo Lengchan saw that Huang Jin had entered the door first, but there was no change in his expression, and then he suddenly stared at Ling Jing and said, "Ling Xian's nephew." ”
Ling Jing glanced at Zuo Lengchan lightly, I don't know why he mentioned himself at this time, and said, "I don't know what the leader of the Zuo Alliance has to say?" ”
Zuo Lengchan glanced at him, smiled, and said, "Sure enough, it is a hero who is a young man, no wonder Feng Buping will also be defeated in your hands." ”
Ling Jing said with a smile: "Feng Buping is just a clown jumping off the beam, but the leader of the Left Alliance has won the prize." But I still seem to remember that when it was said that the people who besieged our Huashan faction were not only a few people who were Feng Buping, but the leader of the Left League was well-informed, could he know the origin of those fifteen masked people? ”
When it was said that he broke the formation of fifteen masked people in a row, and in the end, these people were killed and injured, these people were originally the killers of Zuo Lengzen's cultivation, and now they are all destroyed, which will naturally make him feel pain.
Zuo Lengchan smiled when he heard this, but the hand behind him couldn't help but tighten, and he said with a smile: "The virtuous nephew said that he laughed, how could Zuo know these bandits." ”
Ling Jing nodded, and said suddenly, "I see." ”
Zuo Lengchan sneered twice in his heart, but said kindly on his face: "The virtuous nephew is a young talent, with vertical and horizontal talents, how can you say that you are free, you might as well come to our Songshan to play, so that my disciples who are not successful can see what kind of talent is a real young master." ”
Ling Jing clenched his fists slightly and said, "The leader of the Left Alliance is in love." ”
The two of them had a bit of a grievance, and Linglong's brows furrowed when she was listening, and she was really impatient in her heart.
Zuo Lengchan turned around and said a few words to Ding Mian, Lu Bai and several other masters in the Thirteen Taibao, and entered the departure door to the west alone.
And Lu Bai and the others seemed to have received his orders, and then chose to enter the Kanmen.
Ling Jing couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw Zuo Lengchan choose to leave the door, this Zuo Lengchan's most powerful martial art was "Cold Ice True Qi", originally he also guessed that this person would choose Kanmen or Dumen.
Unexpectedly, he actually chose to leave the door on behalf of the fire, did he want to use water to overcome the fire and break through this door?
However, he couldn't guess what was inside each door for a while, and naturally he couldn't guess Zuo Lengchan's thoughts.
Now that someone has entered the four gates, there are only Zhen, Gen, Xun, and Dui four gates left, he glanced at Luo Feng, but saw that this person looked indifferent, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes looked at the top of his head uncertainly, and he couldn't see what he was thinking in his heart.
