"How so?" Li Ergou was completely dumbfounded and muttered alone.

He never expected that things would go in this direction.

"Brother Ergou, let's go quickly! The water level of this underground lake is rising. The fat man reminded.

Li Ergou glanced down and found that this was indeed the case, and in the blink of an eye, the water level had already reached his ankles.

Come to think of it, it won't be long before the entire labyrinth will be flooded with groundwater.

Seeing this situation, Liu Yuntao and Zhong Lao could only sigh unwillingly, and then resolutely turned around and began to return the same way.

"Third uncle, did you say that grandpa is still alive?" Li Ergou glanced at the location in the center of the lake and said with some concern.

The third uncle nodded, and said very firmly: "He must live, don't forget, he is the city god." ”

"I also believe that grandpa is still alive." Li Ergou looked bitter.

He has already lost one of his closest relatives, and he doesn't want anything to happen to his grandfather, this kind of blow, Li Ergou can't afford it.

At this time, Shi Jinlong also walked towards Li Ergou and them, and he glanced at the third uncle and Li Ergou.

Then, he said slowly: "This result, just as my master expected, the old man has become the largest corpse king in the underground labyrinth, with him, if others want to plot against Long Yuan, it will not be so easy." ”

"Get out of here!"

Li Ergou was already very disliked by this Shi Jinlong, and he couldn't get used to his high-minded appearance.

Seeing that Shi Jinlong was still falling into the well here, self-righteous and self-righteous, Li Ergou couldn't help but scold directly.

"Hmph, Li Ergou, right? Since you were the spirit child of 25 years ago, we will meet again sooner or later. ”

After being scolded by Li Ergou, Shi Jinlong's face was also a little unbearable, he snorted coldly, and then left without looking back.

"Brother Ergou, don't be sad, remember what I told you before that there is a dragon vein hidden under the underground labyrinth?"

The fat man walked over, patted Li Ergou on the shoulder, and comforted.

"Oh, what do you say?"

Li Ergou was interested, he knew that at such a time, the fat man would not mention the dragon vein for no reason.

"Long Yuan should be hidden in the dragon vein, what I want to say is that maybe there is other space under this underground lake, and the old man will return one day." The fat man explained.

Li Ergou nodded, and he had already begun to agree with the fat man's statement.

He knew that his grandfather was not a reckless person, and since he did this, he must have his own considerations.

"Alright, Ergou, let's go! Your grandfather left something for you at home, so you don't plan to go back and see it? ”

Li Ergou was talking to the fat man, and the second grandfather came over and said to him.

"Oh, what is it?" Li Ergou hurriedly asked.

"You'll find out when you go back."

The second grandfather didn't say anything, pretending to say mysteriously, and after speaking, he walked into the Nine Palace Bagua Array and prepared to leave.

"Don't worry, Ergou, your grandfather will definitely come back, the most important thing for us now is to find your father first."

The third uncle also walked over, patted Li Ergou on the shoulder, and said earnestly.

"Got it, Third Uncle."

Li Ergou nodded, and before going out, he took one last look at the place where his grandfather disappeared.

At this time, the water surface has gradually returned to calm, and the water dragon, which was extremely irritable before, also disappeared completely because Grandpa suppressed the sarcophagus and sank to the bottom of the lake.

From today onwards, the underground labyrinth will not have those thousands of resentful spirits, but there will be one more living dead like grandpa.

Up to now, everything that should have happened and what shouldn't have happened has happened, and even if Li Ergou stays here, it doesn't make the slightest sense.

With his current strength, he can't go to the bottom of the lake to suppress the corpse king, and then rescue his grandfather.

Moreover, the water level of the underground lake has been rising.

The only way is to leave quickly, and wait until you get out of the maze before thinking of anything else.

After leaving the underground labyrinth, it was already past three o'clock at night, and the wonder of the tengu eating the moon had long since disappeared, and everything was calm again.

No matter what happens in the underground labyrinth, the ground is still as usual, and you can even see a few guys delivering takeaways.

Because it was still early, Li Ergou and the others did not rush back to Wolong Village, but came to the third uncle's shop.

"Fatty, now that it's time for you to tell the truth, why did you come to Yangcheng and why did you choose to help Ergou?" As soon as he sat down, the third uncle asked the fat man.

After hearing this, the fat man immediately stood up from his seat and said, "Li Sanyuan, I don't know what you mean by this. ”

"Hmph, what do you mean?"

The third uncle snorted coldly, then looked at the fat man and sneered: "Why do you think people are like two dogs?" So easy to believe you? Your dignified descendant of the Heavenly Master Dao would be willing to waste time in this small Yang City? ”

After hearing this, the fat man's face began to become strange.

"Third uncle, don't say it."

Li Ergou pulled the third uncle, and at this time his heart was also very entangled, the purpose of the fat man staying by his side, he did not have no doubts.

At first, Li Ergou also thought that the fat man stayed by his side to help because he was curious about the underground maze and the truth about his father's disappearance 20 years ago.

But gradually, Li Ergou discovered that things were not as simple as that.

For example, the fat man had long known about the battle between the southern and northern factions in the cultivation world 300 years ago, as well as the identity of Li Ergou's spirit fetus, but he didn't tell Li Ergou.

It wasn't until he went to hell and went to Xudu that Lord Yama told him the truth about it.

For another example, about the underground labyrinth, Li Ergou knew that the fat man must have concealed some crucial information.

The reason why he didn't ask all the time was not because he completely trusted the fat man, but because he cherished the friendship between the two.

After all, the fat man had rescued Li Ergou more than once, and even put himself in a desperate situation.

Li Ergou doesn't want to know the truth, because the truth is often cruel, at least so far, the fat man has not harmed him, which is enough.

"Fatty, you have to think about it, Ergou cherishes you very much as a friend, there are some things, you take the initiative to tell him, and one day in the future, others will tell him, then everything will be different."

The third uncle was still unwilling to give up, and said to the fat man.

"Okay, Li Sanyuan, you let the fat man think about it."

The fat man lit a cigarette and sat back in his chair, frowning and looking very confused.

"Forget it, fat man, you don't have to say anything, and I don't want to know anything."

Seeing this situation, Li Ergou stood up at once, preparing to leave the third uncle's shop and go outside to breathe.

"Brother Ergou, sit down."

Who knows, as soon as Li Ergou took two steps, he was pulled back by the fat man.

Then he said, "There are some things that really should be known to you." ”
