"Click."

"Click."

The shoes touched the masonry floor, and the dull sound was thrillingly loud in the dead silence of the corridor. Su Lan listened to his heart beating loudly, trying to breathe slowly again and again, but deep down he still couldn't help but be afraid, he felt as if something behind him had found him, and he was approaching little by little, wanting to look back, but he didn't dare.

I waited in place for about half an hour, but the person who was expecting it did not appear, and Su Lan did not bring much dry food with him, so he had to try to find the exit.

Not to mention that it may be more dangerous to be in place.

The road twists and turns, stretching like an end, the time is getting longer and longer, the miserable white light and the deep shadow are equally eerie and terrifying, Su Lan feels that he is about to run out of breath.

This will not work.

He stopped, closed his eyes and inhaled deeply, trying to calm himself, but the more he thought about it, the heavier he felt on his back.

He touched his chest, and his heart was pounding, as if it was about to rush out.

A slightly cool touch touched his fingertips, Su Lan was stunned, and took out the cyanine from his arms. Hua Jing was still crystal clear, exuding a soft light in the dim corridor, this misty brilliance made Su Lan a little trance, and Su Lian's clear smile flashed in front of his eyes.

I don't know what happened to Lian'er, what is my father and mother doing now?

A sense of loneliness rose up, and the fear faded a little. Su Lan looked around, the same dim light and shadow and strange carved masonry.

Turning a corner, the road came to an end, and a gap opened not far away, extending into a shadow. Su Lan subconsciously slowed down and approached cautiously.

The dome suddenly reached a very high point, and the walls suddenly expanded outward at the exit, and the dull stone was embedded in the ground and spread out in all directions, and the unknown light outlined a large underground temple.

"Click, click." The sound of footsteps echoed in the hall, and otherwise there was dead silence.

I don't know how many years have passed on the corridor outside, and it has been mottled and broken, but everything in the hall has just been repaired. The whole temple was made of dark black stone, and many stone pillars were propped up in the temple, and grimaces were arranged on the stone pillars hideously, either sneering or roaring.

There were a few black shadows in front of the main hall that could not be seen really, Su Lan approached, and the moment he looked up, his breathing almost stopped. He saw a blue-faced and black-faced prince not far in front of him sneering at him, there were only two pitch-black hollows where there should have been eyes, and the bottomless darkness seemed to suck the soul into it together. It wasn't until he came to his senses that Su Lan realized that it was just a sculpture.

The blue-faced royal official held a dry bone token in his right hand and held it high, and his left hand was in front of him, as if he was calling for something. There were two smaller statues on each side of the royal official, also with hideous faces, coldly shouting at something that did not exist in front of them.

It may also be that there is indeed something, but you can't see it.

Such a casual thought made Su Lan excited.

What exactly is this?

Where the hell are you?

Su Lan's eyes looked at the statue in front of him without blinking, everything around him was mysterious and gloomy, and a slight chill spread in his heart. The statue in front of him came out of the Senluo Difu, and the next moment it was about to rush towards him.

"Click."

It was just a low sound, but it made Su Lan's heart "bang".

It was very quiet, only the sound of his own breathing.

However, the next moment, the voice sounded again.

"Click."

Su Lan hurriedly turned around and looked around, and at this moment, a sound came from the southwest corner of the main hall.

"Click...... Click...... Click, click. ”

Then, a figure rushed out of the darkness, the white bones were already full of cracks, and the face that should have been flesh and blood on the head was only the white bones, and in the skull's eye sockets, two gray ghost fires swayed.

Ghosts.

Breathing stagnantly, although I have seen this kind of thing conceived in the place of the Yin in books many times, but I really face it head-on, and the fear from the bottom of my heart still almost overwhelms reason.

Sen Bai's claws grabbed at Su Lan, and he subconsciously swung his sword, drawing a pale blue brilliance in the air.

"Dang!"

The unexpected force almost shook the long sword away, Su Lan took a few steps back before he could barely stand firm, and the skeleton pounced again. At the last moment, years of practice finally paid off, and he struggled to lower his body to the side to avoid it, and the crystal slanted horizontally, straight into the skeleton's chest. However, the sword swooped into the air, and the tip of the sword was inserted between the bones, but nothing touched. The skeleton was completely unaffected, and Sen Bai's sharp claws flipped back, grazing Su Lan's left arm. Only then did Su Lan remember that ghosts were not living creatures, but a single mistake was enough to put the boy in danger, and the speed of the skeleton was surprisingly fast, forcing Su Lan to retreat again and again.

"When! While! The long sword was wrapped in spiritual power and stabbed again and again, but even the skull that hit the head did not stop, the white bones were incomparably hard, and Jing Lian didn't even leave a mark.

The time slowly extended, Su Lan's physical strength was already a little unable to keep up, and the sword moves were a little slower and slower, and the bone claw suddenly tore the clothes on his left arm.

In front of the main hall, the blue-faced ghost king looked at the battle in front of him calmly, and the darkness surged in his empty eyes.

"Get out of the way!"

At this moment, a girl's voice sounded, and the golden light crossed in front of Su Lan's eyes, colliding with the skeleton's bone claws. The light was not extinguished, and a wisp of white gas rose from the bone claw, and the originally indestructible bones quickly turned into a withered gray. The yellow silk shirt flashed, and the golden sword cut a semicircle like a cloud and slashed at the center of the skull's eyebrows. The sword flew upside down, and the girl staggered back a few steps. I saw that the ghost fire in the skeleton's eyes was dim, and it collapsed with a bang, shattering into powder.

"Ahem, ahem." Destroying the ghost, Su Lan almost gasped for breath, but heard the girl's light cough. The girl was half-kneeling with her sword, her long hair hanging down a little messily, and the golden sword made a long mark on the blue and black stone bricks.

"Girl, are you alright?"

"Well, I'm fine," the girl replied softly, wiping the corners of her mouth with a very small movement, and stood up. The soft lines, the round face of the goose egg, the girl in front of her is dressed in pale yellow silk, revealing a quiet temperament, but the dark eyes give people a strange feeling, Su Lan feels wrong, but he can't think of why.

"Who are you? How did it end up here? The girl returned the sword into the sheath and looked at Su Lan suspiciously.

The girl's tone was soft and peaceful, giving him an inexplicable sense of peace, Su Lan scratched his head, and said with some confusion: "I went out with my master, I was affected by the aftermath of the battle, I fainted, and I am here after waking up." ”

The girl was dumbfounded, and said with a wry smile: "This is how coincidental it takes to stimulate the entrance of the relic, I didn't expect such a thing." ”

"The entrance to the remnant?"

The girl paused for a moment and said, "There were originally many teleportation circles in this dungeon that could be entered, but the time was too long, and most of them sank into the ground, close to destruction, it should be that the spiritual power fluctuations at that time accidentally triggered the magic circles near you." ”

"Then how can I get out?" As if seeing a beam of light in the darkness, Su Lan felt hope in his heart and hurriedly asked.

The girl hesitated: "The entrance you come in should be a 'hidden passage', you can only enter in one direction, I only know that there will be an exit if you go in a little further, but I don't know if it can be used, and there is a lot of trouble along the way." ”

In this gloomy and terrifying place, he finally saw the living and had hope again, and Su Lan's heart settled down a lot: "...... Girl—"

The girl nodded: "My name is Leyi." ”

The young man scratched his head in embarrassment: "My name is Su Lan, Miss Le, what do you want?" ”

There was silence for a moment, and Le Yi said: "I'm going into the depths of the underground palace to get a medicine, if you want to go to the exit to try it, it's just right to go with you." ”

Su Lan didn't know anything about this place, of course he was willing to go with Le Yi: "Then thank you." ”

But he received no response, and the girl had already turned around, staring silently at the stone statue of the king. The dark eyes seemed to look through the stone statue and see through what was hidden inside.

Being alone just now, horror outweighed curiosity, and now after calming down, Su Lan also felt that the stone statue was a little strange. He stepped forward cautiously, the statue was made of unknown material, and there were faint dark intricate lines under the blue and black stone, which at first glance looked like real blood vessels. He touched it gently, and it was a slightly cool touch, which seemed to be no different from ordinary stones.

"What are you doing?" Le Yi exclaimed.

Su Lan came back to his senses, and also felt that he was reckless, and said with some embarrassment: "This is the first time I have seen this kind of stone, I am a little curious, and I forgot to be careful." ”

Le Yi cautiously paid attention to his surroundings, there was no change, and his eyebrows frowned slightly: "There are very few records I can find in this abyss, but if there is a record, it must be pointed out that this place is a big danger, and the slightest mistake may be life and death." ”

"The Abyss?"

Le Yi's gaze fell on the stone statue again, and while thinking about something, he replied: "I have read some previous accounts, and I only know that the power of Yin is gathered here, and it can give birth to a lot of heavenly and earthly treasures, but it can also give birth to big demons and demons. As for why there is such a dungeon, it is unknown. ”

Su Lan looked at Le Yi in a daze, although the girl was dusty, her gestures were light and elegant, and she was incompatible with the gloomy environment in front of her. Although Le Yi's moves just now are strong, he is far from being a master, and it is impossible for him to have much spiritual power at such an age, why did he come to this kind of place alone?

"Miss Le, you-" Su Lan thought like this, and asked unconsciously, but before the words came out, Le Yi suddenly said: "You go and see if the pillars of the three entrances of the main hall are engraved with yin and yang, and yang is engraved with yin." ”

The tone of the command made Su Lan stunned for a moment, and Le Yi realized at this time: "Ah, I'm sorry ......" said this, the girl's expression darkened, "This seems to be a formation, I'll take a look." ”

"Yin engraves yang, yang engraves yin. Isn't this the art of soul suppression? ”

Le Yi looked at Su Lan with some surprise: "Have you learned the Underworld Dao Formation?" ”

Su Lan scratched his head: "The collection of books at home is quite rich, and in my spare time, I often read them as a hobby." It seems to have been said in the book that the Yin Puppet Yang Kui was originally a puppet puppet who launched the Yin to Yang Spiritual Technique, and it also had a similar effect when carved into the formation. ”

"The moment you touched it reminded me. This stone statue seems to be a black chalcedony stone, which is most suitable for nourishing the soul, but it is placed in the position of the anode of the dry sky, so the kun position should be used as an exit, and if there is a reverse carved yang kui yin puppet in the position of water and fire, it should indeed be a soul suppression formation. With that, the two walked towards the left of the main hall. There are five entrances to the main hall, two are on the side of the stone statue, and the other three are arranged in three positive directions, and the pillars in the hall are carved differently, and all the way down, they are all hideous grimaces.

However, not only was there no Yin Puppet Yang Kui on the pillar facing the entrance of the position, but there was not even the grimace that he had seen before. There is only a column of strange symbols like words on the blue-black stone pillar, and each stroke opens and closes with an uninhibited momentum.

"What is this?" Su Lan looked puzzled. Le Yi beside him didn't speak, he turned his head to look, only to see the girl staring at the row of symbols with an incredible look.

"Miss Le?"

"This is the text of the mantra of Gu Jilian." Le Yi's voice was very soft, with a deep incredulity, "This is impossible, this is obviously the end of the Sheng......

"You know? What is this written? ”

"If that's the case, you won't be able to match ......" The beautiful eyebrows furrowed, and the girl looked around at the endless forest beside her.

"Miss Le?" Su Lan subconsciously raised his voice.

"Ahh Le Yi came back to his senses.

"Do you know these words?"

"Hmm." Le Yi stared at the column of inscriptions, at this moment, the darkness of the hall was heavier, and the years that had never been expected were covered in the past that she thought was clear, she thought she was a chaser after the mystery, but she didn't expect to become a lost person in the labyrinth, "Four thousand years ago, the ancient legend of the ancient Jilian was the most powerful dynasty of witchcraft, it is said that the sacrificial spell at that time was a powerful prayer, and the words that could fall down would be fulfilled, but the remnants of the present world only have the literal meaning." And this paragraph reads—"

There was a slight fluctuation in his quiet eyes, and his shoulder-length black hair swayed slightly, Le Yi looked up at the engraved seal hidden in the dark, and said softly:

"Nine shadows and three underworlds, eternal eternity."

The slender fingers slowly pinched out one by one incomprehensible seals, and the imperceptible spiritual power quietly drew a strange trajectory at the fingertips, and the dust shuttle carried a hand, slowly moving forward in the forest. Each of his steps seemed slow, but with each step, the space distorted strangely slightly, and when he looked at it again, it was already several feet away.

The white-clothed valley lord's posture was still calm, but the dust on his body showed that the battle he had just experienced was not easy. Qimen Six Dao, the Daoist of each Dao is by no means easy to deal with, Qimen Dao is known for its ever-changing spells and unpredictable and unpredictable, and Shadow Dao is good at unexpected assassination techniques, and it is even more difficult to prevent. But if it weren't for the six bans of Brahma......

However, what Dust Suo is thinking about now is not these, the formation of this place has been roughly figured out, but the entrance that Su Lan just entered the secret place has been damaged to the point that it can no longer be used, and it will still take time to deduce the other entrances, but I don't know if he can hold out until then.

Why did the Lord of the Shadow Path appear in such a place?

Dust Shuttle fell into thought.

The thousand-year-old inheritance of the Nine Dragons Xuantian Palace, the depth of the heritage is unimaginable, it is not easy to overturn, the head of the palace Yun Shouhao is commensurate with the same generation of the ancestors, it can be regarded as a generation of heroes, how could he lose to a weak-crowned young man who has just taken charge of the six realms. Ten years ago, Qimen Dao took advantage of the time and place, and the battle with the Five Elements Valley Creek Fengling still lasted for nearly ten days, and the Nine Dragons Xuantian Palace was destroyed overnight this time, which was already appalling, and the Lord of the Six Paths is now not doing his best to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and it actually appeared in such a remote place.

Could it be that the conversation with Yun Shouhao leaked out a month ago?

Or, Yue Qi was chasing the remnants?

Thinking of this, Dust Suo's pace paused.

"Nine Shadows and Three Shadows?" Su Lan was stunned, "Those legends of the underworld? ”

Legend has it that after the deceased dies, the soul will go to the underworld to reincarnate in the underworld, and the underworld is not only in charge of the life and death of people, but also in charge of the reincarnation of all spirits, demons and demons inside and outside the five states.

"The Three Underworlds are in charge of the reincarnation of sentient beings, if it is reasonable to say that the ancestors only prayed for the Three Underworlds, but the Nine Netherworld Domains are full of evil spirits and demons, and 'Eternal Yongchang' is a little weird, and as far as I know, this abyss should be related to Qu Chen, the first emperor of the Shengguo, how can there be a thousand years earlier Jilian Sacrifice Mantra......" Le Yi looked at the stone pillar suspiciously, she hesitated, slowly raised her right hand, and her slender index finger pointed out a little golden spiritual light, carefully probing the inscription.

It was the first time Su Lan had heard of the Jie Lian Sacrifice Mantra, and he was a little incredulous that the inconspicuous mark in front of him might have the power to twist the future. He concentrated the spiritual power in his body and carefully sensed the stone carving in front of him, but the spiritual power fluctuation he wanted to find did not exist, and he did not feel half of the power on this stone pillar.

"It seems that it is also an imitation of the text, but Qu Chen and Ji Lian have a deep feud in the sea of blood, how can they allow a sacrificial spell to appear here?" Le Yi, who also found nothing, withdrew her spiritual power and muttered to herself in confusion, but she knew that there was something more important in front of her, "Let's go, it seems that there is nothing to be detected." ”

Listening to Le Yi's words, Su Lan was full of doubts, but since she didn't explain, she didn't want to ask more, so she just nodded and followed Le Yi to the corridor to the left of the stone statue in the hall.

As the two walked away, the dark hall fell silent.

Suddenly, at the heaviest place in the shadows, several stone pillars lit up with a cold white shimmer. As if the sleeping demon was about to awaken, the pale inscription on the stone pillar flickered strangely a few times, and then returned to dead silence. The royal officials in the hall still have the same posture, but the blue and black grimaces seem to have changed slightly.

In the depths of the corridor, the two unconscious people gradually drifted apart, the sound of footsteps stirred between the ancient stone walls, and the hollow echo came dullly.
