Chapter 387: After the Laughter (1)
After the laughter,
It's time to get down to business.
Ye Sangmo gathered the five people, including himself, and took out the map that Yuwen Yuanxu had stuffed in his pocket before he fell.
The map is drawn on a canvas that has been yellowed and rough, and it looks like it has been baptized for tens of thousands of years, but the pattern is still very clear.
Painted on the map is a mountain peak, faintly visible in the middle of the mountain there is a creature with red eyes, very realistically depicted, it is a dragon, black body, red eyes, neither sinister nor friendly.
This is what they gained from breaking through the gossip array, they thought it was a practical and practical thing, but it turned out to be just a map, Ye Sangmo sighed, and almost lost Yuwen Yuanxu's life because of this map.
"Where is this? This mountain is so familiar, huh? Ye Sangmo gurgled and rolled his eyes in thought.
"Sister Sangmo, it's the mountain behind you." Jingren smiled and pointed behind Ye Sangmo.
Everyone turned their eyes to Ye Sanmo's back, and sure enough, it was exactly the same as the mountain on the map, except that there was no dragon in sight, everything was exactly the same.
Ye Sangmo was surprised: "Ah, it turned out to be behind me, why do I think I've seen it somewhere?" Brother Jingren, what kind of mountain is this? ”
Yuwen Yuanxu pulled Ye Sangmo back a few steps, and said lightly: "Why are you still Brother Jingren shouting?" ”
Ye Sangmo's eyes widened and he looked at Yuwen Yuanxu: "Senior An'an, are you jealous?" ”
"I ...... No. ”
"Oh, it smells of vinegar." Qin Ren added.
After another burst of laughter, Jingren spoke: "This mountain behind him is the back mountain of Yiyuan Sacred Temple, it has no name, we all call it back mountain, this mountain is a forbidden place, it is said that the ancient dragons of the guardian Yiyuan Sacred Temple and the surrounding towns and villages live in it. ”
"Dark Dragon?"
"Yes."
"Then why is it a forbidden place? Isn't the Dark Dragon a Guardian? Does it hurt people? ”
"I haven't done this before, but since the Dark Dragon is called the Dark Dragon, there is a big reason because the evil qi on its body is too heavy, although it is a guardian, but because the evil energy on its body is too heavy, it is best not to approach it."
Ye Sanmo pouted and said, "It seems that we are going to start an adventure again?" Qin Ren, Senior An An, are you ready? ”
"Stand by at any time."
"Ditto."
Then, Ye Sangmo turned his head to Su Banyan and Jingren, and said in a grateful tone:
"Since we risked our lives to break through this gossip array and get this map, and the place drawn on this map happens to be your forbidden place in the back mountain, then we must break into this forbidden land, but you are not from our Immortal Spirit Sacred Academy, and you are not obliged to follow us to risk our mission, so Brother Jingren Banyan, thank you for taking care of us."
Jing Ren frowned and said, "Well, our Yiyuan Sacred Courtyard does have the rules of our Yiyuan Sacred Academy, and we can't trespass on the forbidden land." Banyan and I will send you to the mouth of the cave, and I wish you good luck. If something happens, we'll be out there to take care of you. ”
"Well, thank you Brother Jingren and Sister Banyan."
"Say no more thank you, we've heard it eight hundred times a day, and our ears are calloused. Let's eat first, and when you're done, I'll send you to the entrance of the cave. ”
During lunch, Jing Ren deliberately sat next to Qin Ren, who was alone, and whispered:
"Brother, you don't have to go on an adventure with them?"
Qin Ren glanced at Jing Ren and said in a sharp tone:
"The prince of the elven kingdom, how can she do something to retreat, besides, she is gone, how can I not go ......"
Jing Ren nodded in satisfaction and handed Qin Ren a seed in the palm of his hand.
"What is this?"
"When life and death are at stake, planting it in a cave may save your life."
"So, give me a few more, shall you?"
"Boy! I've put up with you for a long time! There is really only this one, remember to use it when life and death are at stake, otherwise it will be wasted. ”
Carefully collecting the seeds handed to him by Jingren, Qin Ren, who had an evil smile on his face, pursed his lips and said, "Thank you, brother." ”
"You're welcome brother, you are the person I have ever met who makes me feel worthy of being a brother."
……
……
After lunch, the sun was blazing.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the entrance of the cave."
"Let's go."
Speaking of which, Ye Sanmo and the others can be regarded as having a little friendship with the Dark Dragon, at least they have seen its subordinate Nightmares, and the relationship with the Nightmare is also considered to be harmonious, Ye Sangmo decided to tell it that if they encounter the Dark Dragon, they know its subordinate Nightmares, they are friends, so that the Dark Dragon should not do anything to them.
Of course, the danger still exists and cannot be ignored, since the legend of the dark dragon is very evil, then naturally they still have to be careful, they just want to go to the back mountain to find out if there are any clues about the teacher of Douqi and whether there are clues about opening the seal of the glass ring, if you will not encounter the dark dragon, then it is the best.
The dragon is sleepy, so I hope it will continue to sleep after they enter the mountain and before they leave the mountain.
The vegetation in the back mountain grows very luxuriantly, although no one has set foot here for many years, but the scenery is still beautiful, it does not look like no one has pruned the branches and leaves for many years, it seems that the dark dragon must be in this mountain to prune the branches and leaves when he is idle.
At noon, Jing Ren and Su Banyan sent Ye Sangmo and the three of them to the cave entrance of the back mountain, the cave was very bright, and there was no danger to see, and Jing Ren and Su Banyan said goodbye, and the three of them entered the cave leisurely.
I don't know how long I walked, I don't know where I went.
Suddenly, the light in the cave was extinguished, a few fires lit on the wall, the road in front of me was divided into two, the road that was originally a straight road was divided into two narrow paths, and there was a stone tablet at the intersection of the two paths, on which were written a few big words: Choose one road and go, life and death cannot be turned back.
In other words, no matter which path they choose, no matter whether the path they choose is right or wrong, there is no turning back, and if they choose the wrong path, even if they get out of this cave alive, they will gain nothing.
So, Qin Ren suggested: "Let's divide our soldiers into two ways, so that at least one way will definitely have clues and gains." ”
Yuwen Yuanxu thought for a moment and said, "I agree with this opinion. ”
Ye Sangmo was a little hesitant at the moment: "If we are separated, we are three people, which means that one of us must be single, then there will be no care, I don't approve of it." ”
The road is two,
Someone has to make a choice.
At this moment, Qin Ren said with a wish: "Yuwen Yuanxu and I will go all the way separately, and then Ye Sangmo will choose the road by yourself." ”
Of course, Qin Ren naturally knew the answer, but he still couldn't help but want to ask.
Sure enough, Ye Sangmo opened his mouth a little hesitantly: "I ......"
Qin Ren smiled evilly and said: "Okay, I know, you can follow your senior An An, this is also what I think, I don't want to take you with this cumbersome nickname, see you outside the cave." ”
After speaking, Qin Ren walked towards the road that leaned on him without looking back, the path was very narrow and only allowed for the distance of the next person, under the path was an abyss that could not be seen, and there was an abyss in the cave, it seemed that the road after that would only become more and more difficult.
……
……
"Let's go, Sangma."
"Okay, Senior An An, let's go faster, and strive to go out before Qin Ren, so that we can take care of him."
"Well, I think so too, so let's go, you go in front and I'll go in the back."
"Why am I going to the front and you going to the back, but I don't."
"Won't the future daughter-in-law of the Zhong family listen to her future husband?"
"Future husband?"
Ye Sanmo's face was red, and she obediently walked in front of Yuwen Yuanxu, what she didn't want was to say such emotional words from Yuwen Yuanxu's mouth, it was an irresistible deterrent.
The future daughter-in-law of the Zhong family, this title is really nice.
"Senior An An, when will you take me back to the Angel Clan?"
"Don't bother, watch the road."
Yuwen Yuanxu is always like this, you always can't figure out when he will be enthusiastic about you, and when he will suddenly be cold to you, but Ye Sangmo likes Yuwen Yuanxu like this, no matter what kind of Yuwen Yuanxu is, there is no reason for some liking, but it has been decided from the first time I saw it.
The road that Ye Sangmo and Yuwen Yuanxu were going to take was as narrow as the one that Qin Ren took, so they could only go one after the other, and Ye Sangmo, who was walking in front, was very worried about whether Yuwen Yuanxu behind him would be in danger, so he would always look back every two steps.
Whenever this time, Yuwen Yuanxu would always look at her coldly and say, "Don't worry, go quickly." ”
The two narrow paths lead to two new openings, and there is still light in the openings, but it is unknown where the road ahead is headed. Qin Ren took the lead and entered his cave without looking back, and then Ye Sangmo and Yuwen Yuanxu also entered their cave.
The cave was very quiet, there was nothing, all the way to the frank and open, nothing appeared, nothing happened.
Ye Sangmo rejoiced: "Senior An An, we really chose the right path, there is no danger here." ”
Yuwen Yuan hummed lightly and continued: "If there is no danger here, then it means that the danger is on Qin Ren's side." ”
Yuwen Yuanxu's statement was indeed reasonable, which couldn't help but make Ye Sangmo a little worried, so she proposed: "Let's go back and go to him the same way Qin Ren took." ”
"I'm afraid I won't be able to go back."
The moment Ye Sangmo and Yuwen Yuanxu turned their heads, the flames behind them were already burning, and they didn't burn under their feet, but they couldn't turn back, they didn't take a step forward, the flames behind them would follow closely, there was no danger in the front, but the back road was full of danger, which meant that they had no way to turn back and only move forward......
And, Qin Ren could only rely on himself.
At this time, the area inside Qin Ren's cave entrance was getting bigger and bigger, and there was also a chasing fire behind him, the only difference was that even if Qin Ren's pace stopped, the fire would still burn forward at a constant speed, so Qin Ren not only had no way to retreat but also had no chance to stop and rest.
Spreading his wings and flying, breaking out of the flames, Qin Ren came to a more spacious area, but there are not many places to stop in this area, in front of him is an abyss, above the abyss is a suspension bridge without railings, the suspension bridge looks very unstable, there is a very huge lock in the middle of the suspension bridge, and tens of thousands of keys are tied to the bridge deck of the suspension bridge.
Qin Ren was shocked,
But he didn't stop trying the rhythm of the keys in his hand.
What is there in the abyss?
Finding the key to the giant lock on the suspension bridge as soon as possible was the most important thing he had to do, and it was the most important thing he had insisted on in more than 500 years.
The sound beneath the abyss grew closer and closer, until a key in his hand appeared as he hovered upside down on the huge lock of the drawbridge, and a pair of red eyes appeared in front of him, and those red eyes were staring at him tightly, and he could only see a pair of red eyes, and beyond that, it was pitch black.
He felt his body being picked up by something, and his body began to float away from the locks and back to the beginning of the drawbridge, and he could clearly see that it was a dragon with red eyes and a black body that had lowered him from the lock to the beginning of the drawbridge.
If he hadn't guessed, it would have been the Dark Dragon on the map.
He tried to tie the relationship: "I'm a good friend of your henchman Nightmare, I didn't mean to disturb you, I'll leave here when I find the key to unlock the giant lock." ”
The dragon's body swayed back and forth in the air, and its long black beard gently scratched Qin Ren's face, probably after knowing Qin Ren's magic background, the dark dragon let out a low sound:
"There's no key on this drawbridge."
"Do you know where the key is?"
"In my mouth."
The dragon opened its mouth, and a golden yellow key was stuck between the dragon's teeth.
Since it is in the mouth of the dark dragon, if the dark dragon is good at talking, it should be able to get it soon, if the dark dragon is not good at talking, then it is estimated that there will be no life.
"Can you give me the key in your mouth?"
"I can give it to you."
"Thank you then."
"But why should I give it to you? What can you give me? ”
"It's just a key, don't be so stingy."
The voice of the dark dragon was still low: "This is not an ordinary key, this is a treasure, it is called the glass key." ”
"The glass key?"
Qin Ren's brain was running rapidly, the glass key? Glass rings? Could it be that this is the second treasure that Ye Sangmo has been looking for to open the glass ring?
"Yes, Glass Key, it's a treasure."
"Are you saying that this is one of the treasures that opened the seal of the glass ring?"
