Climbing up from the ground and sitting on the cold ground of the main hall, Chu Lei was stunned for a while.

The three-year covenant is not only his promise to Mingxuan, but also the pressure he puts on himself. He must be strong in three years! He can't count on someone else to save him every time!

"Xiao Lei, are you okay?" The old Taoist priest came over and asked worriedly.

Chu Lei shook his head.

"What are you doing up there?" Chu Lei asked.

"After you fell, the captain gave the order to retreat, and we retreated all the way we came in."

"All the way out of the mountain, back to Sanshui Village."

"The captain reported the matter here to the division, and the division said that he would send someone over."

"That night, the toad senior and Niu Mowang suddenly appeared, and Niu Moshu told me, you are trapped underground, let me rescue you."

"I went to the captain and asked him to take someone to save people. He was hesitant. Then I said that the zombies had been wiped out by the ox seniors, and there was no danger underground. Only then did he take people down. ”

Regarding Niu Mo's identity as a "senior monk", Chu Lei said it once to the captain and others.

The old Taoist priest moved out of her name again, which was quite effective.

As he was talking, the captain came up with Ming Xuan on his back.

The captain glared at Chu Lei hatefully, didn't even say a word, and left directly.

Chu Lei and Ming Xuan looked at each other, and a thousand words were all in silence.

"It's good to do it yourself." Jianchen said a word to Chu Lei, and also took the other swordsmen away.

In this hall, only Chu Lei and the old Taoist priest remained.

The old Taoist priest was also about to leave, but was stopped by Chu Lei.

"Brother Toad, everyone is gone!" Chu Lei shouted down.

In a moment's effort, a turquoise figure jumped up from below and landed on top of Chu Lei's head, it was Brother Toad.

"Snort"

A branch sticks out from below.

Chu Lei was shocked, thinking that the branch of the Dark Pole Tree was alive again, and was about to ask Brother Toad for help, but he didn't expect that the branch turned out to be Niu Mo's "arm"!

In Niu Mo's body, there is a three-hundred-year-old demon tree soul, and in the ground, she has absorbed the life essence left by the branches of the Stygian Tree, and "transformed" her current body into a half-human, half-tree existence.

Niu Momo withdrew his arm with satisfaction, looked at Chu Lei's gaze and smiled, "Senior said, it is good to follow you, it seems that it is true." ”

The corners of Chu Lei's mouth twitched. It's a good thing for you, but it's a dead life for me!

"Go to the apse, there's good stuff there." Brother Toad said.

Chu Lei had a toad brother on his head and ran quickly to the apse.

The architectural pattern of the apse and the front hall is not different, but the two characters under the eaves are not quite the same.

Obedient and rebellious!

"The five elements, yin and yang, shun and disobedience. What do these six words represent? Chu Lei was puzzled.

Niu Moshu had great strength, and as soon as he supported his arms, he pushed the heavy stone door open.

A jade road stretches out, and in the middle of the road, is a huge Tai Chi pattern.

Tai Chi has two colors, one black and one white.

Brother Toad said, "Step on those two dots at the same time." ”

Chu Lei nodded, and after walking over, he jumped forward, and his feet firmly stepped on the black and white dots.

"Boom"

There was a roar from under Chu Lei's feet, and he hurriedly jumped back.

The black and white dots rose up from the ground like two round platforms.

On the black round platform, there is a book of bamboo slips.

On a white round table, a string of bracelets is placed.

The bamboo slips were filled with black yin qi, although it was not rich, there were only seven paths. But the black gas is very pure, and each black gas has the thickness of a finger, and the black is shiny.

Chu Lei's gaze just swept over the bamboo slip, and his eyes stared directly at the bracelet.

"This bracelet was worn by my father!"

"He's been wearing it for as long as I can remember. When I was in high school, the bracelet was gone, and I asked him, and he said the chain was broken, so he threw it away. ”

"Why? Why is it here!? ”

"This place, someone came many years ago, and they deliberately left drawings, is it my dad?"

"No, no, it's not right in time, the people who came here have been here for at least 60 years, and my dad is not yet 50 years old."

A series of thoughts flashed quickly in Chu Lei's mind, but suddenly a memory fragment froze.

That year, he was about eight years old and was preparing for first grade.

On that day, he saw his father take off the bracelet and was carefully polishing and maintaining it. Because, there is a bead on the bracelet and there is a crack.

He reached out to touch it, but his father dodged him, and his father said to him seriously, "This bracelet has been handed down at home, don't touch it, go find something else to play." ”

At the end of the memory fragment, the crack of a certain bead on the bracelet was like a scar, which impressed Chu Lei deeply.

"How did you end up here...... How could you ...... here," Chu Lei muttered.

The bracelet on the white round platform, the bead, has the same crack.

It was like a grinning mouth, smiling silently at Chu Lei.

His hand reached out, but he hesitated, afraid that he would touch something he shouldn't.

It's like when he was eight years old, his father said to him - don't touch it.

The hesitation and hesitation in Chu Lei's eyes all came to naught in an instant. Because, he thought of Mingxuan's appearance covered in blood, and he thought of the oath he made in the dark underground.

If he doesn't even dare to pick up a bracelet, how can he become stronger? And how to face the thorns on the road ahead!?

Chu Lei picked up the bracelet, and a picture surged into his mind like a mountain roaring tsunami.

It was Chu Lei's father, Chu Tian, who left him an image!

"Son, if you can get this bracelet, it proves that you have set foot on this road." Chu Tian sighed, "And this is something that neither your mother nor I want to see." ”

"Perhaps, this is the fate of our Chu family."

After sighing, Chu Tian's expression changed, becoming serious and cold.

"Since there is no turning back, then you can only keep getting stronger! Get stronger! Getting stronger! Powerful enough in this world, no one is your opponent! In this way, no matter what plans those people have, you can break them with your strength and not be that one pawn! ”

"The owner of this tomb, named Mao Meng, is one of the many disciples of Guiguzi."

"Mao Meng's cultivation is the same as Xu Fu's, both of them are Yin Fu Seven Techniques, but Mao Meng's reputation is not obvious."

"Before Mao Meng died, he passed on what he had learned to his fellow disciples. The founding patriarch of the Maoshan faction, Mao Ying, is the great-grandchild of Maomeng. ”

"The three brothers Mao Ying, Mao Gu, and Mao Zhen cultivated together, and later generations called them 'Sanmao Zhenjun'. Summoning the power of ghosts and gods with charms to calm the injustices of the world. During the heyday of the Maoshan faction, it was canonized as the state religion. ”

"It's just that with the passage of time, the Maoshan faction has undergone great changes, and since then it has declined, and the main vein of the Maoshan faction has been hidden, and the branch veins are entrenched on Maoshan Mountain, and it has been renamed 'Zhengyi'."
